Chapter 135 Civilization Internal Affairs (6000)
The silver-white micro-drones showed extremely powerful performance under Yi's control.
They were like water drops floating in the air, silently drilling into different forks and traveling along the inclined rails towards the surface!
The holographic screen in front of Chen Fan also flashed rapidly.
Suddenly, one of the pictures suddenly stopped, and the image became clear - the detector stopped moving forward and hovered in the mine.
"Biological signals are detected at the corner ahead."
"Starting the self-camouflage program..."
As Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's ears, countless extremely tiny particles suddenly appeared on the surface of this silver-white micro-detector. These tiny particles floated up and down, looking like a ripple that continued to spread.
The ripples were generated from the center of the spherical detector and quickly spread to the entire surface of the micro-detector.
The next moment, in this rapidly spreading ripple, the color of the micro-detector changed rapidly. Like the mimicry of an octopus, this detector also relied on the change of color to perfectly blend into the rock wall behind.
To others, this palm-sized spherical detector had completely disappeared from sight.
With the successful execution of the self-camouflage program, the originally static screen moved again.
A man with a stubble on his face slowly walked out from the corner.
The man's body was slightly hunched, and there were some light or heavy bloodstains on his pale face. The linen clothes on his body were also tattered, as if he had been attacked violently.
He looked back frequently, and his pair of sinister and vicious triangular eyes were full of fear and horror, as if something dangerous was following him.
"Shi Cheng?"
Hong Chengdong's voice came from beside Chen Fan.
"Shi Cheng?" Chen Fan was stunned, and his eyes slightly condensed when he looked at the screen, "Is this the Boss Shi you are talking about?"
"Tsk..."
Chen Fan frowned, tsk lightly, and then shook his head.
This face does not look like a good person.
Triangular eyes, a face full of flesh, thick stubble...
At first glance, this man named Shi Cheng looks like a real gangster!
At this time, Hong Chengdong was carefully observing the holographic image in front of Chen Fan, trying to identify the specific location of this passage: "Is this... the passage to Yinhua Forest?"
After being shocked several times in a row, he was no longer surprised by the means displayed by Chen Fan - anyway, they were all new things he had never seen and could not understand. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he simply threw away his brain.
Huang Laosan on the side nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is Yinhua Forest."
"Uncle Dong, you have a sharp eye. I'm afraid no one in this underground city is more familiar with these passages than you!"
Faced with flattery, Hong Chengdong's face did not smile much. He frowned: "He dared to go to Yinhua Forest. This old guy Shi Cheng is really brave!"
"What's wrong with Yinhua Forest?" Chen Fan stared at the lake in the holographic projection and asked casually.
"That place is a frequent activity area for intelligent machines. Not to mention drones, many people have even seen traces of humanoid intelligent machines there." Hong Chengdong sighed softly, "Under normal circumstances, no salvage personnel would be willing to go to that ghost place."
Chen Fan suddenly realized and continued to stare at the holographic projection: "Looking at his appearance, there seems to be something following him..."
Before the voice fell, extremely heavy footsteps sounded in the passage, and at the same time there was a loud buzzing sound.
Chen Fan had heard similar sounds countless times in Varela City - this is the sound of mechanical prosthesis working!
However, it is different from the buzzing sound of the clergy. The buzzing sound at this time is a bit turbid and dull, just like a glass of sake mixed with many impurities.
The next second.
A tall figure appeared in the picture.
Hong Chengdong and Huang Laosan's horrified exclamations also came from the side.
"Mechanical Sect?!!"
...
Mechanical Sect?
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly turned his attention to the tall figure that suddenly appeared in the picture.
It was a strong man who was obviously taller than a normal person.
The sturdy man's limbs and eyes were all transformed into corresponding mechanical prostheses.
Perhaps because of the defects in the transformation technology, the mechanical eyes of this sturdy man obviously protruded out of the eye sockets, and it looked like he was wearing a pair of strange glasses.
Not only the mechanical prostheses, but also the mechanical prostheses on the sturdy man's limbs were even more bizarre.
There were a lot of exposed pipes and bolts on them. For some unknown purpose, these mechanical prostheses were also coated with a layer of shiny black oily substance, which looked like old-fashioned heavy machinery.
There was an extremely obvious difference from the exquisite mechanical prostheses in Varela City that looked like works of art. These mechanical prostheses were mainly primitive and rough.
Whether it was the overall lines or the basic parts, they all revealed a unique mechanical beauty of heavy industry.
But none of the above was the point!
What really attracted Chen Fan's attention were the two rotating heavy machine guns fixed on the shoulders of the sturdy man.
The muzzles of the heavy machine guns were facing forward, and the six barrels that were well maintained flashed a dangerous and bright light under the slightly dim light.
Two yellow ammunition belts were carried in an X shape on the sturdy man's back, and finally disappeared into the metal backpack fixed behind him.
From the size of the backpack, one can make a simple judgment - the amount of ammunition loaded in the metal backpack is probably quite terrifying.
"Shit..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but spit out a complaint: "This fucking... Gatling has become a spirit?"
Hong Chengdong and Huang Laosan beside him looked at Chen Fan in confusion, obviously not understanding what he meant.
Chen Fan did not want to explain this violent hot weapon born in another world. He stared at the scene in the holographic screen and asked Hong Chengdong: "Isn't it an attack launched by an intelligent drone?"
"Why are there people from the mechanical sect?"
Hong Chengdong, who had recovered from the shock, grabbed Huang Laosan's collar and dragged him in front of him. He looked at Huang Laosan with a bad face: "Damn it, you dare to lie to me?"
Looking at the bulging muscles on Hong Chengdong's arm and the huge scar that was constantly twisting like a centipede, Huang Laosan's originally sallow face suddenly turned pale.
"I... I don't know, at that time, it was clearly a drone, I don't know..."
Huang Laosan looked flustered and explained incoherently.
Looking at the vital signs data and final judgment given by Yi, Chen Fan slowly shook his head: "Uncle Dong, he didn't lie, let him go."
Hearing Chen Fan say this, Hong Chengdong unhappily let go of his right hand that was holding Huang Laosan.
At this moment, two strange figures appeared again in the micro-detector's screen.
The tight leather jacket perfectly set off the woman's proud figure, and the ultra-short leather skirt barely covered some sensitive parts. The slender and tight thighs and the mysterious area looming in the air attracted the attention of the three adult men present.
A pair of slightly upturned foxy eyes were charming, and the wavy curly hair seemed to be casually draped over the shoulders, which further set off her enchanting and charming figure.
The only flaw was that her hands had disappeared, and were replaced by two metal mechanical whips of amazing length.
"Hiss..."
Hong Chengdong stared at the scene on the screen with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there would be such a person in the mechanical sect!"
"This is much sexier than those withered flowers and willows on the red street. If I could..."
"Cough!" Seeing that the topic was gradually developing in a direction that was not suitable for children, Chen Fan hurriedly coughed to interrupt Hong Chengdong's fantasy, "Friendly reminder, did you see the whip in that person's hand?"
"If you don't want to try some new and strange ways of playing, I suggest you don't have such an idea."
Hong Chengdong's mouth twitched, and his originally straight eyes instantly became clear: "... Pretend I didn't say anything."
He silently cast his eyes on the man who was hiding in the shadows behind the two. The
man with only a few strands of burnt yellow hair on his head and an extremely thin figure was "curled up" in the center of a set of mechanical prostheses.
The man's limbs, pelvis and spine have all disappeared, replaced by a set of not-so-sophisticated mechanical equipment.
The whole person was an unhealthy waxy yellow, and his hideous face was filled with a strong sense of madness and bloodthirstiness.
The exaggeratedly sized mechanical prosthesis perfectly wrapped up most of his body, looking like an alternative set of mechanical armor.
At the top of the mechanical arm was a cutting wheel and sharp saw teeth dripping with blood.
One can imagine what kind of tragedy happened on the ground!
Looking at the man in the picture, Hong Chengdong's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible confusion.
...
"Hey!"
A hoarse, crazy voice came from the man with an exaggeratedly sized mechanical arm: "It's been so long, haven't you reached the underground city yet?"
"You stinky rats are hiding really deep."
Hearing the man's sarcastic voice, Shi Cheng, who was walking in the front, trembled and turned around hurriedly.
With a flattering smile on his face, he nodded and said, "It's almost there!"
"There are no more forks in the road. Just keep going forward and you will enter the Kukan Underground City."
The moment the voice fell, Hong Chengdong's angry roar came from Chen Fan's side: "Fuck Shi Cheng!"
"Lead the way for the people of the Mechanic Sect. What does Shi Cheng want to do!"
As he said this, he picked up the old-fashioned rifle that he had been carrying on his back, exerted a little force with his right hand, and pulled the bolt very skillfully.
The Kukan Underground City has always maintained a neutral attitude towards the Mechanic Sect - some high-level officials have close exchanges with the Mechanic Sect, while some high-level officials are not interested in the Mechanic Sect.
But Hong Chengdong, who almost died in the hands of the Mechanic Sect, is definitely the toughest anti-Mechanic Sect person, there is no doubt about this.
Just when Hong Chengdong was angry, a sudden change occurred in the holographic picture.
...
The moment Shi Cheng's voice fell, the man who transformed his arm into a cutting wheel showed a somewhat cruel smile on his face: "Are you sure there are no forks in the road ahead?"
A bad idea flashed through Shi Cheng's mind, but thinking of the other party's means, he nodded repeatedly and gave an extremely certain answer.
Buzz! !
At the moment he nodded, a strong buzzing sound came from behind him.
When he heard the sudden high-pitched buzzing sound, Shi Cheng's face suddenly changed.
With many years of experience as a hyena, he quickly realized the other party's mind-killing to silence the witness!
He subconsciously rolled to the side, trying to avoid this sudden attack.
Facing machinery, human power is still not enough.
Although he tried his best to avoid the attack from behind, it was still useless.
The sturdy mechanical arm drew an arc driven by the motor, and the cutting wheel at the top of it directly pierced into Shi Cheng's body at a high speed.
Swish!
Almost without any pause, the dark red cutting wheel had completely removed Shi Cheng's right arm!
Watching his right hand fall to the ground, feeling the warm blood gushing out from the huge wound, Shi Cheng's face was distorted, and he subconsciously let out a terrifying roar that was not like a human voice.
"Jolson, hurry up."
A low voice came from the side: "Don't delay the business."
As he said that, the man carrying the heavy machine gun on his shoulder and the hot female cyborg walked past Shi Cheng without hesitation, stepping on the dark red blood.
"Don't worry, I know."
Jolson drove the crawler and slowly came to Shi Cheng's side, looking down at Shi Cheng with a creepy and crazy look.
"Why?!"
Shi Cheng endured the dizziness deep in his mind, and roared with a distorted face: "I have already led you the way, why do you still..."
He didn't wait for any response.
Before he even finished speaking, the mechanical arm had quickly turned in a direction, driving the dark red cutting wheel to cross Shi Cheng's body again!
One knife, two knives, three knives...
The sound of the sharp blade cutting through the flesh continued to sound in the slightly narrow passage. The severe pain almost made Shi Cheng faint, but he was awakened by the pain that followed.
Gradually, the roar in his mouth became weaker.
Shi Cheng, who had lost his arms and thighs, was like a broken sack with air leaking everywhere. He lay on the hard rails in a distracted state.
Feeling the weakness brought by the loss of a large amount of blood from his body, a figure involuntarily emerged in Shi Cheng's gradually blurred mind - the salvager who was killed by him and his younger brothers.
Recalling the salvager's eyes before his death and the almost silent vicious curse, Shi Cheng looked disappointed, sighed for a long time, and then completely stopped moving.
This scene was faithfully recorded by the drone hidden near the rock wall and presented in real time to Chen Fan and the other two.
...
Hong Chengdong looked at the picture in the holographic projection with an ugly face.
The visitor is not friendly.
Just by looking at the extremely cruel killing methods of the other party, Hong Chengdong had some bad thoughts in his mind.
He turned his head to look at Chen Fan.
For some reason, Chen Fan gradually fell silent since he saw the members of the Mechanical Sect. Without
time to think, he picked up the old-fashioned rifle in one hand, stretched out his hand and waved his arm to the surroundings: "The beasts of the Mechanical Sect are coming, brothers, grab your weapons!"
"Pull out those big guys in the warehouse!"
"Let those monsters taste their power!"
Having said that, Hong Chengdong still cast his eyes on Chen Fan.
Hong Chengdong, who had direct combat experience with the Mechanical Sect, naturally knew the combat effectiveness of those monsters of the Mechanical Sect.
Apart from anything else, it was nothing but a pipe dream to want to rely on his more than ten brothers to stop the opponent's offensive.
As for the other salvagers...
What kind of combat effectiveness can some stinky boys who can only pick up rags have? If a fight really breaks out, it would be a good thing if they don't cause trouble.
There are also the law enforcement teams in the underground city...
Let's not talk about whether those big guys with crooked butts will issue some stupid orders. Just talking about those law enforcement teams who bully the weak and fear the strong, facing these three extremely brutal members of the Mechanical Cult, I'm afraid they can't even hold the guns in their hands!
In summary, if you want to deal with these three uninvited guests, I'm afraid it depends on Chen Fan's methods.
Apart from anything else, the small pistol that is as powerful as artillery is enough to make Chen Fan the main force in this battle!
Thinking of this, Hong Chengdong made a request to Chen Fan: "Brother Fan, for the sake of our friendship, can you..."
Before Hong Chengdong finished speaking, Chen Fan shook his head helplessly.
"If you are going to let me help you attack the people of the Mechanical Cult, I'm afraid this won't work."
The smile on Hong Chengdong's face froze.
"No?"
He couldn't believe his ears: "Why?"
"The organization has regulations." Chen Fan spread his hands and shook his head, "We can't intervene in the internal struggles of civilizations."
The restrictions on investigators by the Dangerous Technology Administration are not that great. In a sense, except for the restrictions on the authority of various weapons and equipment, investigators are usually not subject to too much restriction. According to Moore, the fundamental purpose of setting the authority of these weapons and equipment is actually to protect investigators.
The weapons of the Human Union are generally powerful. For an investigator born in a small place, these powerful weapons are not easy to control.
On the one hand, suddenly mastering the power of a god can easily cause the investigator's mentality to be unbalanced.
Imagine an investigator born in a first-level civilization suddenly mastered a weapon that could destroy a star or even a galaxy. What kind of changes will happen to the other party's mentality?
On the other hand, these powerful weapons can easily lead to catastrophic consequences if they are not used properly.
For example, regular weapons, once out of control, are likely to cause a cosmic disaster!
For this reason, the Human Union has made strict divisions on the use of various weapons.
In addition to the restrictions on the authority of weapons and equipment, the most stringent rule of the Administration is to prohibit investigators from participating in the internal affairs of civilization.
This is a red line that must not be touched!
The reason is simple. The fundamental purpose of the Human Union to establish the Administration is to ensure the diversified development of civilization, thereby ensuring the vitality of the Human Union.
Once the investigators intervene in the internal affairs of civilization, they can completely support puppet civilizations based on their preferences, which directly violates the highest principles of the Administration.
In the long run, let alone the external crisis, the internal contradictions are enough to tear apart the vast territory of the Human Union.
As for what is internal affairs...
In the judgment criteria of One, the conflict between the Mechanical Cult and the Underground City belongs to the struggle within the civilization-both sides are part of the Varela civilization.
As an investigator of the Administration, Chen Fan naturally cannot favor either side based on his preferences.
After telling Hong Chengdong the general reason, Hong Chengdong's face was full of confusion and confusion.
Born in the underground city, he couldn't understand what Chen Fan said: "I... I don't understand."
What civilization, planets, universe... Such topics are too broad for him.
"Several other probes have arrived on the surface."
Yi's electronic synthesized voice came from the side, attracting Chen Fan's attention: "This machine has found something, you should be interested."
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the holographic image on the side again.
The flying drones were hovering over the forest. In the center of the encirclement of these drones, a giant bulldozer with a height of more than 20 meters was quietly parked.
Behind the bulldozer, a yellow-brown rut with a width of more than 15 meters, composed of soil and tree debris, stretched into the distance.
This bulldozer was like a rake for plowing the land, opening up a wide yellow-brown road in the forest full of mutant plants!
The power of heavy industrial machinery was completely revealed in front of Chen Fan at this moment!
Apart from anything else, when Chen Fan saw the giant bulldozer, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The car he had been looking for, which could travel freely in this forest, had finally arrived!
His focus was slightly different from Chen Fan's.
The moment he saw the projection screen, Hong Chengdong couldn't help but exclaimed: "There really is an intelligent drone?!"
"How did the Mechanic Sect get connected to the intelligent machines?"
Hong Chengdong, who was relatively quick-witted, quickly realized the problem: "Damn it, the Mechanic Sect might have teamed up with the intelligent machines!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes moved: "Teamed up?"
"One, is this still considered an internal affair of civilization?"
Apart from anything else, he was really greedy for that bulldozer!
After a short silence, Yi gave the answer: "In theory, unless there is clear evidence that the other party has reached a strategic cooperation relationship, it can only be regarded as an internal affair of the civilization."
Chen Fan's face froze: "Clear evidence?"
"Aren't these pictures in front of you clear evidence?"
"Of course not." Yi denied Chen Fan's words, "This can only be regarded as indirect evidence."
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan continued to ask:
"Is there no way to bypass this restriction?"
"Sorry, this machine cannot provide a corresponding solution." Yi repeated the original words, "In principle, investigators are not allowed to intervene in the internal struggle of civilization."
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.
Yi cannot provide a corresponding solution, so what about others?
This kind of bug-circumventing rule restrictions cannot be asked to Academician Song Ziliang.
Who should he ask?
After a short thought, Chen Fan's mind emerged with the interface of a cross-universe forum.
"Yi, help me apply to the Administration for permission to send inter-universe broadcasts. I am a semi-official investigator after all. This should be no problem, right?"
"Wait a minute..."
After a short wait, Yi's electronic voice sounded again: "Inter-universe broadcast permission has been unlocked. The current remaining number of broadcasts: 3." As soon
as the voice fell, a familiar interface quickly emerged in the holographic projection in front of him.
Chen Fan's mouth curled up slightly, and his mind moved slightly.
A brand new post appeared on the holographic interface:
[[Newcomer Help] Dear big guys, how can I bypass the corresponding restrictions on investigators interfering in the internal affairs of civilizations? ]
