"Responsible person, do the bodies of the Mist Titan need to be recovered?"
A commanding officer on the scene saluted Chen Lin and asked aloud.
When Chen Lin was about to speak, his deputy reminded him in a low voice: "Chief in charge, the corpse is more than 20 kilometers away from our current base."
"Our current base The actual control area is only a few kilometers near the base. It will cost a lot of money to get back the huge corpse weighing hundreds of thousands of tons."
Chen Lin waved his hand and quickly. Instruct the intelligent assistant to show him the location of the killed Mist Titan.
The fog base is 25 kilometers away from it in a straight line. Sending drones to this area for reconnaissance and surveillance work is actually reluctant enough. After all, the problem of dense fog is difficult to solve. Even though the drones have been upgraded, , you will still suffer losses when encountering creatures in the fog, this is inevitable.
“It seems that it is not easy to bring it back.”
Chen Lin groaned, and asked the commander in front of him: “What if this corpse is brought back? What can be done after that?"
"The research on the fog factor can be used."
The commander said to Chen Lin without hesitation: "The size of the fog titan is determined. Its body definitely contains a large amount of mist factor liquid. If we bring it back, the value of the mist factor liquid will be enough to offset the cost."
Chen Lin looked at the deputy and said: "How?"
The deputy wanted to say something else at this time, and the command staff on the scene immediately added: "Two leaders, the corpse of this fog titan was only brought back. There are no pros or cons. We can comprehensively study the biological genes of the Mist Titan. Basically, the fields related to biology, genetics, and ecology can benefit. Some of the monster corpses may also be used for genetic engineering. This The monster is so huge, we may be able to find some unique genetic components from it..."
Chen Lin patiently listened to the commander's words, and finally said to his deputy with a smile: " Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so... let's do it."
The deputy sighed slightly and walked directly outside.
Chen Lin knew that his deputy was now arranging to bring back the Titan's corpse. He also smiled and waved to the commander in front of him to indicate that he should return to his post.
The corpse of the Mist Titan is extremely huge. How to transport it back is a matter that tests the overall cooperation and coordination of the base, especially since the place where they have to work is still on the Mist Planet. The surface of the entire planet is occupied by toxic gases, and the thick fog is extremely affecting. vision, which makes the handling work more complex and difficult.
The deputy person in charge immediately held an emergency meeting after returning and quickly determined the final implementation plan - the simplest and crudest method was actually to lift and move it by flying vehicles.
It is definitely not possible to rely on the various types of cargo helicopters used by humans before. The super huge body of the Mist Titan weighs hundreds of thousands of tons. It is unknown how many similar helicopters are needed to fully support it. In the end, What can be put into play must be various black technologies on the Origin Star.
Anyun Base put forward a demand, and multiple front-end technology laboratories on the Origin Star almost simultaneously provided feedback and receipt information to Anyun Base. Finally, under the screening of Chen Lin and everyone, The most suitable one is a small thruster device developed in a laboratory over at the outpost.
The size and specification of this device is four meters in diameter, and its core is an improved version of the spar engine. In fact, this thing was originally designed to serve as a thruster for the space elevator. The subsequent space elevator project will invite bids. If not selected, the project will be shelved.
Later, Anyun Base put forward new requirements, and they tried to bid for the shelved project. Unexpectedly, Anyun Base finally chose their small manufacturing company.
The core of this model's small thruster is an improved version of the spar engine. According to the laboratory, its improved version of the spar engine has a maximum load-bearing capacity of 4,000 tons. When starting at the extreme limit and upgrading the engine, , the limit of this device can reach 6,000-8,000 tons - the cable used to pull the heavy objects below is directly made of the carbon fiber tube of the Blue Star Space Elevator.
A single carbon fiber tube can easily lift thousands of tons of weight. It is also resistant to corrosion, cutting and deformation at high temperatures and low temperatures.
This technology has been fully mastered by the Red Dragon Association at this time. Carbon fiber tubes are used on a large scale in military and civilian fields. Therefore, there is no obstacle to Chen Lin’s use. Even the Anyun base has Carbon fiber tubes can be manufactured directly through the ACS platform.
“Because this kind of thing operates independently, it can be used efficiently and continuously for a whole day after its own crystal is activated, which can last for almost 24 hours.”
The deputy looked at the information and said to Chen Lin: "We need to order at least 36 devices of this type from this laboratory. According to the price of 12 million per device, the total is more than 400 million. Anyun Base proposed Using part of the rare minerals produced here to offset it, the total price we need to pay in the end is 250 million..."
Chen Lin did a simple calculation in his mind. Overall, it is not special. Expensive, the price of the improved version of the spar engine ranges from high to low. The high price is usually hundreds of millions of yuan per unit, while the low price is much cheaper, with tens of millions or even millions of dollars per unit.
The crystal engine blueprint given by the Night Alliance was actually very mature. Later, as the relationship with the Night Alliance represented by Ellie became more and more close, Ellie gave them an upgraded version of the crystal engine. Due to the transition to more advanced thrusters, this upgraded version of the crystal engine is more durable and has a longer battery life than the previous version. It has now become the most popular thruster device on the Origin Star.
According to the association’s plan, this type of thruster will be expanded to the Earth on a large scale by then, because the manufacturing cost is really low and only requires energy stones to start. It is also a clean energy source. Growing things has actually become the cornerstone of a new generation of energy.
Recovering, Chen Lin confirmed the procurement plan just mentioned by his deputy, and asked if 36 pieces of equipment were enough.
The deputy nodded and said that the specific number of units required was specially reviewed by a group of experts and scholars from Anyun Base. With this number, they could lift the hundreds of thousands of tons of the Mist Titan and travel through more than 20 kilometers of fog. The area returns to the temporary base.
"What if there is a problem along the way?"
Chen Lin said to his deputy, "Those monsters in the fog are not a good thing, let alone the Titan-level creatures. When things like feathered snakes, mist birds, and ravenous bats appear, I'm afraid that the crystal engine will be damaged by then."
"Don't worry about this. I specifically explained the crystal engine this time. Regarding the situation on the foggy planet, the laboratory has installed wind power devices on each piece of equipment. After it is fully activated, the top of the entire foggy Titan should be visible... Without the fog, those monsters will be more or less afraid. Just come out and launch an attack."
Chen Lin nodded: "It's very thoughtful. I've really worked hard on you this time."
"It's all for the development of the association, so what's the point of hard work?"
A smile appeared on the deputy's face, "But you, the general manager, are helpless. Now the base knows that you are getting married soon. As a result, This mess has happened again, and it has been here for more than a month. I am afraid that my fiancée can’t wait any longer.”
Chen Lin also smiled, and Lin Yun and he met each other a few days ago. After a phone call, both parties actually have a very clear understanding of this matter. If they are unable to make time, they can postpone the wedding date.
"How long does it take for the laboratory to manufacture these equipment?" "About two to three units a day, it may take half a month or twenty days, I am not sure."
< br>
Chen Lin nodded slightly: "I just hope that there will be no problem with the Titan's corpse over there. Don't let us build everything by then. The corpse of this thing has been eaten by the creatures in the fog."
The deputy was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not impossible..."
"We need to send omnics to conduct a patrol around the area, and I'll leave this job to you. "
The deputy had a helpless expression on his face: "Good person in charge, I promise to complete the task..."
...
The next time is not so tense. The temporary base has been rebuilt. The Galaxy Breaker plasma turret stands above the temporary base. It is enough to kill any enemy close to the fog base. Chen Lin only needs to wait patiently. As long as the propeller is completely manufactured successfully.
Anyun Base has not been idle during this period. It manually controlled a large number of intelligent machines to conduct multiple rounds of tests and explorations on the route from the fog base to the Titan corpse, and finally tested out a final solution. The solution was optimized, and a large number of guidance devices were installed along the way to ensure that there would be no problems when the thrusters returned with the giant Mist Titan corpse.
More than twenty days later, the laboratory completed the delivery of all thirty-six thrusters to Anyun Base, and the corpse recovery plan was officially launched.
Chen Lin is still based in Anyun Base. Although he did not go to the portal site, he still needs to grasp the situation at the scene. At this time, Chen Lin is sitting in the control room with a group of senior leaders looking at the screen. Busy people.
On the other side of the split screen is a picture of a temporary base. The omnic has cleared an area inside its base specifically to place the upcoming thrusters.
There is actually nothing to say about the whole process. Anyun Base dispatched a convoy to escort batches of thrusters to the location of the portal. After simple loading and unloading, they then passed through the portal and entered the misty planet, and then continued again. The omnics on the foggy planet took the equipment to the location of the foggy titan.
For more than twenty days, the equipment repeatedly detected foggy creatures devouring the Titan corpses. The corpses did not emit a rotten smell like regular creatures after death. On the contrary, these foggy Titans were more like transformed creatures. It has the effect of some kind of dried meat, the water in its muscles is quickly drained, and the scales become tighter.
In the early stage, there were some mist creatures that devoured its flesh and blood, but as the remains of the Mist Titan changed, many of the mist creatures were unable to pierce the thick scales on the outside of the creature, and they had to give up in the end.
In addition, there are a large number of technological devices installed in the base nearby, and the electromagnetic wave signals they continuously emit make many creatures avoid them. This means that the corpse is still relatively intact.
When Anyun Base finally sent the thrusters, the scene was broadcast in real time to the screen of the monitoring room where Chen Lin was located.
The corpse of the huge monster lay like a hill in the area ahead. In order to facilitate subsequent transportation, the omnics had drilled holes into the main parts of the creature according to the instructions and fixed various support points inside.
Dozens of huge wind devices were placed in the area, and the thick fog was temporarily blown away a lot, allowing everyone in front of the screen to see clearly the specific appearance of the Mist Titan's corpse shrouded in thick fog.
In Chen Lin's eyes, the shape of this foggy titan is far from normal. It is very similar to a giant deer on the earth. However, the top of the head is not the head of a normal creature, but countless entwined and connected. A piece of huge tentacles, these tentacles have dried up at this time, but you can still see how terrifying its previous posture was.
As the camera zoomed out, the entire shape of the Mist Titan was completely revealed, with six legs and two tails, and gray-white scales all over its body (according to the explanation of the on-site staff, the monster's scales were initially The color is richer), these scales are like bones - it feels to Chen Lin like the color of human skulls in the hospital.
Its legs are thick, pale, multi-jointed bony structures, huge enough to support its huge body.
The torso looks like the skeleton of some kind of beast, but there are so many ribs that it makes one's head tingle.
The abdomen of this huge monster has many blades with unknown effects, but at this time they are in the same state as the entire Titan.
A large number of engineering robots are pulling carbon fiber cables at a large number of fixed points excavated. Those robots are like ants on a human body when traveling on the huge monster body...
Chen Lin lamented the size of this giant beast, but the deputy on the side came forward and reported in a low voice to Chen Lin: "A similar-sized Mist Titan was found in the northwest, and I asked if I wanted to kill it."< br>
“How far away?”
"More than forty kilometers away, although these monsters are not moving very fast, they cannot hold up to their size. They will arrive nearby in almost an hour after walking at a divergent pace..."
"Passing by the base? "
"Looking at the dead Titan, it will affect our transportation work at that time."
"Then why are you hesitating?"
Chen Lin. Glancing at the deputy: "Kill it!"
"Yes!"
The deputy turned around to give the order, but Chen Lin stopped him.
"Wait... According to the time you calculated, this monster will arrive at the death point in about an hour. Let's just wait for it for an hour."
Chen Lin's face showed A hint of smile came: "Moving one Titan back is moving, and moving two Titans back is also moving. It's double happiness."
"Go and give the order, calculate the time when the Titans will arrive, and let them go directly at a similar position. Fire the plasma turret, kill it and drag it back too!" (End of Chapter)
