Chapter 315 Runaway Nuclear Explosion
As a pioneer facility with a long axis of more than 300 kilometers, there are a large number of vertical transportation devices between each floor to maintain the flow of personnel and materials.
So everyone from the Quest for Truth Foundation quickly found a large transportation platform that could load a large number of units at the same time.
Under the operation of Sutter Ethan and the others, this large transportation platform quickly started to move towards the Foundation's goal - the cryogenic dormancy area.
The device they took out before was actually a product of reverse engineering the technology discovered in the Forerunner ruins.
After restoring various types of standard interfaces of the Forerunner civilization, the Quest for Truth Foundation successfully connected human equipment to the control terminal in the Forerunner ruins.
After the interaction, these people from the Truth-Seeking Foundation were surprised to find that there seemed to be some resonance of a basic protocol between the human technical equipment they carried and the control end of the ruins. The exchange of information can be said to be It is unobstructed.
It is like the 'back door' left behind by the forerunners who expected that creatures like humans would visit this place millions of years later.
This discovery is still a search for the Truth Fund Will be established in the early days.
The Foundation at that time was far from being as extreme as it is now, and it did not have any 'villain' characteristics. The entire Foundation looked like an ordinary 'Archaeological Foundation'.
As a result, this discovery shocked the foundation for a whole year, and it is said that several older and higher-status 'students' went crazy.
Not only have everyone become crazy, but they are also shouting every day, ‘They will come back to find us! ’ Such outrageous words were finally ‘cold-treated’ by the foundation’s senior management.
Although this discovery caused a certain shock in the entire Forerunner civilization history circle after it spread in a small area, this outrageous situation coupled with the intention of the Foundation's senior management to reduce the popularity led to the final result. It ended like a farce.
It was also after this incident that the Quest for Truth Foundation welcomed the mysterious financial backer behind them.
The entire foundation changed its style overnight and transformed into a low-key organization. It no longer participated in various meetings in the industry, but day after day, year after year. Searching for and excavating the remains of the Forerunner civilization.
Of course, in the eyes of the industry, the Quest for Truth Foundation is a typical example of digging up ruins, digging up illusions, and then starting to become evil.
The 'financier' behind them who keeps increasing investment seems to have lost his mind. What can he do with this money? Do you have to throw it into the bottomless pit of archaeology and burn it for fun?
At that time, it also happened to be the "cooling period" of the exploration of Forerunner civilization. After being unable to produce anything of value for a long time, major organizations gradually withdrew their investments and exited the market one after another.
As a result, the remaining people in the industry that has shrunk significantly will no longer pay attention to the Quest for Truth Foundation.
Then time came to the present in a flash. The entire foundation had developed into a monster that others could not understand at all, but it still patiently lurked underwater and did not move rashly.
——
"What area have we arrived at? Is it safe to load and unload?"
"Okay, you don't need to translate." The puppet master spoke coldly, interrupting Sat. Neither of Sen's two knives can be considered a translator.
“Even if you don’t have to listen, you can tell that you are where you are by looking with your eyes.”
After saying this, the puppet master did not wait for Sart Isen’s reply. , directly commanding the Foundation's large forces to begin leaving this large transportation platform.
After several minutes of operation, this large transportation platform had already carried everyone from the Foundation to its destination.
Judging from the map displayed on the transportation platform, they are currently located in the center of the entire ruins, which means that this low-temperature dormancy area can also be regarded as the core area of the Forerunner facility below them.
After the voice broadcast just ended, although Sater Isen struggled to translate, both he and the puppet master understood one thing - that is, it is very possible that this dormant area There is a living forerunner.
To be honest, Sater Isen is already in a state of fanaticism. He can't imagine how the world will change if he really 'digs out' a living forerunner.
Is it likely that it will cause as much of a sensation as the discovery of the jump drive a long, long time ago, and rekindle the craze for exploration of the Forerunner ruins?
By then, his name will definitely be remembered in history
Thinking of this, Sater Isen's breathing became a little quick.
The Foundation team quickly passed through the gate of the cryogenic dormancy area and entered the only area that maintains complete energy supply and maintenance.
The moment he stepped into this area, what caught Sutter Ethan's eyes was the nearly endless cryogenic sleep chambers, which were densely packed and looked extremely spectacular.
There are also a large number of 'pillars' standing throughout the dormant area. These 'pillars' have a large number of robotic arms and carry many insect-like robots. The 'pillars' arranged according to certain rules also extend all the way into the distance. According to Sartre Ison's calculation of the 'functional coverage area' of these pillars, it was found that they happened to cover all the cryogenic sleep chambers. It is speculated that they are some kind of countermeasures. A device for maintaining the dormant cabin.
"If they are used to maintain these dormant cabins, then what is maintaining them?"
Sat Ison couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.
Since all the dormant cabins that are not activated have no lights and no one inside, the only running low-temperature dormant cabin in the entire dormant area is extremely conspicuous in this scene.
There is no need to specifically locate it. The puppet master can see the 'lone seedling' with a shimmering light in the distance with his naked eyes.
A thought flashed through his mind, and the surrounding Foundation armed forces immediately deployed in formation to surround him.
Compared with Sartre Isen’s fanaticism, he was extremely sober at this moment.
The Puppet Master who has led teams to destroy many Forerunner ruins knows that every Forerunner ruins are extremely dangerous. Once intruders are discovered, the ruins' defense methods will try to annihilate them at all costs.
Since heavy mechanical units such as HCP and main battle tanks have no other way to move forward except pushing all the way and demolishing all the dormant cabins blocking the way, they can only stand by at the door and Point the muzzle this way, ready to provide fire support at any time.
Thinking of this, the puppet master thought for a moment, and then used his mind to issue instructions to a special-shaped HCP.
"Victim, turn on the safety of the mechanical detonation device and wait for my instructions."
"I will obey your order, my lord."
At the same time, Sater Isen was already excitedly leading People rushed to the only cryogenic sleep chamber that was in operation.
After taking a few deep breaths, he took the instrument from his assistant and connected it to the backstage of the cryogenic sleep chamber just like before.
"Okay. The internal status is normal. The life support system is also operating!"
"The carrier situation. Healthy, great!"
"Meet the awakening conditions?"
After seeing the last prompt on the instrument, Sater Isen suddenly woke up for a moment, He realized that he was doing something extremely important.
But soon, this sobriety was burned out by the fire of Sheng Sheng's fanaticism.
“On!”
The sound of "puff, puff, puff" was heard, and some frost condensed on the surface of the cryogenic dormant chamber quickly disappeared. When the entire instrument completed warming up again, the door of the dormant chamber slowly opened.
A bed-like device inside slowly rises and supports a humanoid creature inside to sit up.
Amber, who came to this floor through another passage and entered the cryogenic dormancy area through other entrances, was shocked to gasp after seeing this.
"Brother, you must be the reincarnation of Zhou Zhuo."
