Chapter 944: The Red Spider Chariot, a biomass early warning signal!
Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
It must be said that as the captain of the Foundation's fifth-level land caravan, Sean is indeed a shrewd businessman.
He knows how to deal with people very well and has enough character.
Even when facing a strange tribe whose strength may be far inferior to his own, he still showed enough respect.
Of course, it is not ruled out that what is being shown now is just a "sugar-coated bullet."
Sumo smiled and motioned to the warrior behind him to step forward and take the new plant liquid from the tray.
"Welcome everyone, this will be your temporary camp in the coming days."
"Thank you!"
Shawn blinked, the two of them At the same time, step forward and hold your hands together.
The cool, flexible alloy collided with the braid.
Through the tactile feedback of the gloves, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"I didn't realize it, but your armor is quite comfortable. It feels really good to the touch."
"No prizes, this is not as good as your big guy."
"Is there any way to buy it? If you are willing, I will offer you a price that will make you absolutely satisfied."
"Channel? I can only tell you where I bought it from, but whether I can find it depends on whether you can meet it."
"Okay."
The businessman's nature takes over. The cooperation between the two has just been reached, and Sean has already begun to plan the Daily Armor.
Compared with the bulky Raptor power armor, this kind of close-fitting armor is obviously more suitable for people like him who are not interested in fighting.
Especially now that the external environment is dangerous, and the Foundation has issued an emergency rendezvous order that has not been sounded for decades. With such a life-saving thing, the price-performance ratio is simply not too high.
But according to what the other party said, it shouldn't be easy to buy this armor.
Suppressing this thought for the time being, Sean was about to continue, but was interrupted by Sumo.
“Speaking of which, you should have climbed out of the mountains, right? These vehicles are really powerful. Can I visit them?”
“You know, every man has There is no resistance to the large-scale machinery of such an advanced civilization."
Sean smiled and nodded.
"Haha, of course, no problem, my friend."
"From the first day I established the caravan, the signature of our Red Spider Caravan has been these spider chariots."
>"It's just that at that time there was only one old second-hand vehicle bought from someone else. Now I have replaced all the vehicles with the latest configurations and installed many additional combination modules."
< br>As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and the crowd behind him naturally made way for a passage.
The two walked into the thick fog one after another, and more and more details about the Spider Chariot began to be revealed.
Compared with ordinary heavy trucks on earth, every tank here is larger.
The car is over twenty meters long, six meters wide and three meters high.
With the crawler-type moving wheels on the upper and lower parts, it looks like a fat mining truck.
On both sides of each chariot, there are two silver-white brackets extending out to connect to the ground. They are somewhat similar to the three-wheel balancing bikes used by children to learn to ride bicycles. They are used to maintain the balance and acceleration of the vehicle. Moving training wheels.
“This is the latest model of the Spider Chariot. Each internal device can provide a comfortable life for hundreds of people.”
"Because our caravan currently only has 150 people, these two are our accommodation vehicles."
Pointing to the two spider chariots in the middle, Sean introduced them nonchalantly. .
“The one in the back is our nanny car. It contains the materials and equipment we use to ensure the travel of the fleet, and it can do some basic industrial output. As for the three cars in front, two of them are The armed vehicle we use to ensure safety, and the other one is a material vehicle to store trading goods.”
“When we are usually on the road, if the road conditions are good, we will use separate vehicles to speed up, but when we wait. When we pass through dangerous and complex areas, such as climbing over mountains and ridges in front of us, we will combine six vehicles to form a Starscream chariot to ensure safety.” When we are stationed and resting, we often fit together to ensure comfort.”
Damn it?
Are these mines useful? Can these spider chariots be integrated?
The scene of these cars standing up and forming humanoid machines running on the ground flashed through my mind.
Hiding the look of horror on his face, Somo coughed lightly, and continued with a look of yearning on his face:
"Combined? Is it like a chariot standing upright?" ”
"Stand up?"
Sean was stunned, and quickly shook his head with a smile: "Of course not, the Spider Chariot has no ability to transform. I just installed a basic combination access module."
"Gavin, take this opportunity to cover up the chariot integration for our friends."
"Okay." The man with glasses who spoke before revealed half of his head at the car door and made a OK gesture.
Boom!
I don't know what he pressed, but the six spider chariots started to move at the same time.
Three before, three after.
The silver-white tentacles on both sides of the chariot began to retract inwards, folded into several halves and retracted to the storage compartment below.
The six tanks are like Tetris puzzles, joining together the protrusions and depressions.
Crack.
The one side of the tank that is used to fit together is not welded to the frame, but begins to fold upward as the combination is completed.
Wait until a huge bunker seventy-five meters long and twelve meters wide appears on the ground.
The interior of these six tanks already forms a space of 900 square meters!
"Awesome, people with such ideas are really awesome!"
Even if he didn't go inside and just watched from the outside, Sumo sincerely praised him.
Although compared to the scrapped and damaged Ruyi Chariot, nine hundred square meters is just a very ordinary number.
But for the creatures living in the wasteland, this is a mobile fortress!
"Almost everyone who saw the Spider Chariot fused together would say that."
Sean smiled modestly, but he did not extend an invitation to go inside and visit.
But the conversation changed:
"Mr. Sumo, I wonder if we can enter your shelter to visit?"
"Of course."
Suma nodded slightly and made the same gesture of invitation.
He somewhat understands the foundation's methods. This group of people is indeed completely different from the gopher guys in Qinggang City. No wonder they also have a good reputation among the refugees of the Barren Bone Tribe.
Iron-hard rules and systems are the laws of survival they advocate.
The foundation is both a behemoth that protects these people and a sword that restrains them.
Relying on the fixed rules, they can travel throughout the Blue Star, extend the tentacles of the caravan to any valuable place, and bring back unimaginable wealth.
If you violate the rules, you will have trouble with wealth and the entire people who rely on the system. In this case, until this group of people is completely out of control, there is no need to worry about the possibility of their occasional interest coming up and working as a "predator" part-time.
"Captain Luke, take two guards with me to visit."
"The others rest where they are and follow the level 2 alert standards."
Since this is the first time to go, it is naturally impossible for most people in the entire Red Spider Caravan to go and take a look.
After arranging the next affairs, Sean put on a set of raptor power armor and walked over.
Behind him, the tall Luke accompanied him with two guards.
It can be seen that these people are very confident in their own strength and are not worried about entering the opponent's territory and being besieged.
Of course, Sumo didn't intend to kill people or buy goods from the beginning.
Following the direction of the village, the Dihu vehicle drove in front, and four power armors followed quickly behind.
After a while, we arrived at the edge of Hope Village.
“Oh! My God, a shelter built on the ground is really rare!”
Having heard about the shelter before, Sean subconsciously classified it Joined the ranks of gopher men.
But now, he was astonished.
The shelter in the mist in the distance, no, it should be said that it is the village.
Aren't they worried about rioting mutant beasts, mutants, and greedy predators?
Building in a place like this, once attacked, the pressure on defense will be much greater than underground!
“We are also building underground shelters, but they are not fully constructed yet.”
Pointing to the underground shelter, Sumo explained with a smile:
"We are fundamentally different from the people in the Free State. At least for now, we prefer to invest our excess energy in industrial recovery and increase productivity as soon as possible. . ”
“Nice idea, um, very correct!”
Sean gave a rare serious nod.
"Yes, this is the attitude towards survival in the wasteland. I have seen the farmland you have opened. If you can persist until the harvest is good, you will definitely be able to harvest enough food to survive the next cold winter. Also There are industrial zones, but there are no industrial gathering places. When the level of the foundation headquarters is determined, it will naturally be at a lower level than the same type of gathering places.”
"Over the years, I have seen too many managers who have good cards but play poorly. Fortunately, I met a manager who is much smarter than them."
From the shape of a shelter , the living standards of residents can basically reflect the ideology of a shelter.
Although it cannot be strictly characterized as good or bad.
But based on past experience, he is more willing to cooperate with this kind of "positive" gathering place.
But such a place is not listed in the foundation’s transaction list?
Sean frowned and couldn't help but blame the Ministry of Information.
It seems that that group of people must be lazy again. If such a valuable gathering place can be developed, it will be much better than those stupid gopher guys in Qinggang City.
Fortunately, the heavy fog came, so he found it by accident.
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“If you don’t mind, we can go sit down in front and have a chat, and let me do my part as a landlord.”
"In addition, I think Mr. Sean would like to know what happened recently, right?"
Pointing to the first floor of the dungeon, Sumo extended an invitation.
Maybe it’s because I saw the scene along the way, and also saw the overall appearance of Hope Village.
Shaun was much less wary, and he nodded and told Luke and the others to stay where they were and wait.
Go all the way and enter the first floor of the dungeon.
Some handicraft enthusiasts built stone benches for hand practice and placed them on the outer edge.
The two sat down opposite each other.
Opening the mask, Sean couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Sumo, do you know the reason why the fog suddenly broke out?"
"Yes, but before I answer Before you ask, if it's convenient to ask, did your caravan receive the gathering signal from the Foundation?"
Sean was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Strictly speaking, this is not a gathering signal, but an early warning signal that the Foundation will automatically radiate when it enters a combat alert state to remind nearby Foundation-affiliated caravans to pay attention to their safety."
" Why can't you still receive the warning signal if the fog can block the signal source? "
"It doesn't matter." Sean shook his head: "The fog blocks the transmission of electromagnetic waves. The conventional devices we use do. It has been affected and can no longer transmit information over long distances. However, the early warning signal is transmitted through biomass. You can understand it this way. It is a special animal that can continuously radiate in the air along the direction of the wind. As long as we capture it. Seeing this kind of creature means that an early warning signal is sent out. "
"And by analyzing the remaining biological information inside it, we can reversely analyze and get the approximate location of the early warning signal, which can be used to determine the foundation's nearest large-scale attack. "Gathering point."
Oh.
It turns out that people had considered the possibility that electromagnetic waves would be restricted at special times from the beginning?
At this time, using biomass to spread information is indeed a good way.
But according to that, is the headquarters of the foundation also projected into the game?
“So, are you sure that following the analysis results, you can find the foundation’s headquarters?”
“Of course.” Sean nodded firmly: “This is our unique contact Means, Mr. Sumo can 100% believe in the results of the analysis and the strength of our foundation.”
"Okay, what if I say that the location we are in now is no longer Blue Star, but another place?"
"Another place?"
Shaun 1 Face blank.
“I don’t know what you are referring to?”
“The time and space node, the world that Blue Star once entered in the pre-war era, is where we are now!”
"Is there any evidence?"
Shaun looked a little embarrassed.
“It’s not that I don’t want to believe it, it’s actually too bizarre. We can’t say that when the fog came and we walked, we came here through the time and space nodes. After all, those in Qinggang City Buildings don’t have tires.”
“Unfortunately, that’s the truth.”
Knowing how difficult it was for these people to understand the current situation, Sumo continued.
"You should have noticed the huge changes in the surrounding environment along the way, right? In fact, we are not people from Blue Star. We are from another planet, but we have also been ingested here. You can understand it this way, it was us before Entering here through the time and space node, the situation is now reversed. It took the initiative to bring us here from the original place."
"Compared to you, we came earlier. It took nine months.”
This is information that can be learned immediately when you meet other humans on Earth or return to the Foundation.
Sumo doesn’t mind sharing it now as a favor.
Of course, if the Red Spider Caravan did not receive a signal from the Foundation, he would have to consider whether the other party would suddenly lose control and become lawless.
Now that the foundation headquarters has also come here, their business style may be able to continue.
It’s just a strange place.
