That’s right, what appeared in front of everyone at this moment was a real rocket.
This thing looked quite high-tech, and its appearance was slightly different from what Lin Qingliu had seen on TV in his previous life, but overall it looked the same as what he had seen before.
Although it has been eroded by time and rain, the white-based color scheme on the surface is still extremely eye-catching in the gray, white and green forest.
In addition to the gradually spreading vines and mosses, there are also visible signs of bites and scratches from strange beasts.
The marks overlapped and repetitively appeared, as if there was always a group of strange beasts guarding this thing and trying to pry it open with their sharp teeth.
But the result was obviously a failure. Although it was "covered in bruises", Lin Qingliu noticed that those places that could be opened with tools did not suffer obvious damage.
Lin Qingliu didn't expect to see such a thing at this time. It felt as outrageous as if the lord's castle suddenly stood up.
But if you think about it carefully, Hope City seems to be like this. Although it looks like a doomsday situation and seems to be on the verge of collapse, it will occasionally come up with some interesting black technologies that will make everyone's eyes go dark.
For example, the micro-control device in Luke's arm is like this. According to Lin Qingliu's knowledge, he has never heard of such a powerful force that can be mastered by consuming one's lifespan, and there are also some logical problems that he cannot understand for the time being.
The main source of his distrust of Hope City was the same. It seemed that the old guys up there always had their own little thoughts, and every day they were either fighting among themselves or hiding things. In other words, the mycelium will had not yet found a way to disintegrate the human biofield, and could only rely on the beast tide to continue consuming it.
If that strange will finds a way, the city might be destroyed within a few years or even months.
After circling the approximately 20-meter-long man-made structure for a few times, Fresnel even climbed up the tree to observe it closely, but in the end he jumped down with a sullen expression:
"Um, I don't have much education, who among you knows what this is?"
Fresnel patted his head and looked at his teammates who were smart and talented.
Wang Xiao majored in medicine at school and knew nothing about this stuff.
The puppeteer also shook his head and said nothing.
Beacon thought for a moment and said:
"This thing looks very similar to the launch vehicle I saw when I was studying communications, but I've only seen pictures and have no way to confirm it. Also, why would something like this fall here?"
"Carrying... rocket... I remember it!"
Fresnel suddenly realized and looked at his teammates, ready to show off:
"Do you remember what Blindsaid before, that humans used many methods to explore the outside world before the first exploration plan began?"
Everyone thought about it and nodded to indicate that they had an impression.
Fresnel continued:
"I remember he once said that one of the failed plans was to launch a rocket outside the city that could explore the environment and send back intelligence. This plan ultimately failed. I heard that the rocket completely lost contact for unknown reasons after flying a certain distance, just like we can't contact Hope City now."
Everyone's mood improved at first, but then became depressed again after hearing that they had lost contact.
They had no particularly effective results from this exploration and had to return.
For their team, which was not strong enough to begin with, if they could bring back something important or make discoveries that other teams had not made, it would be a good opportunity to clear their names.
And if we can contact Hope City here, it will undoubtedly be an act worth remembering.
"I have an idea."
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Shi Jin suddenly spoke:
"What do you think? Should we try to dismantle this big thing and see if the battery and signal transmitter inside can still be used? They may be useless when put together, but if they are taken out separately, some of them should still be intact."
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Xiao, or more precisely, at the energy battery that Wang Xiao was carrying on his back, which had been strengthened by the "disaster core" of a team member.
There was incredible energy in that battery, as if it had been compressed into a very small area by powerful external pressure.
That's enough energy to power a full body armor for several days, if possible...
Wang Xiao looked at her thoughtfully:
"What did you study?"
"Mechanical maintenance."
He looked at the beacon again:
"And you?"
"communication."
He turned to look at Fresnel:
"Captain, I think this plan makes sense."
Fresnel rolled his eyes and said:
"You mean... to dismantle some useful components and see if we can contact the city?"
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Okay, even though we found this thing, we can't bring it back with just a few of us... we might as well make use of it.
"You guys start now. I don't know much about this, so I'll help you keep watch around."
"good."
Looking at the huge human creation in front of them, a few half-baked people began to carefully try to dismantle some components.
Wang Xiao's armor integrates many functions. In order to be able to perform self-inspection and detachment when a fault or large-scale damage occurs, a set of standard maintenance tools is also essential.
The specifications of all the screw holes on the man-made object perfectly matched those of Hope City, which further strengthened everyone's belief - this was the rocket that Hope City accidentally lost!
After two or three hours, everyone finally removed a somewhat heavy component.
"Can this thing really communicate with the city?"
Fresnel seemed a little overwhelmed by his own blind spots in knowledge.
"You can try it. Our communication frequency is quite special. As long as this thing isn't broken, it should still be effective."
Pulling two wires from the energy battery behind Wang Xiao, a few cobblers began their hectic experiment.
On the other side, Wang Xiao and Fresnel, who had taken off their armor, were on guard while lighting a bonfire. Everything was proceeding according to procedure.
Suddenly, behind them, from the speaker of the communicator, after a long period of noise, a "beep" sound was heard, indicating that the connection was connected.
"It's done!"
Shi Jin let out a small cheer, then quickly began communicating according to standard procedures.
"Calling Hope City Command Center. I repeat, calling Hope City Command Center."
"Fuck!"
A loud and clear curse word came from the loudspeaker, followed by a brief commotion, and then another slightly older voice came out:
"This is the Hope City Command Center. I am Zhou Zhuo, the person in charge. Please identify yourself."
Fresnel took the microphone and began to introduce himself skillfully. As the captain, he was quite good at this kind of thing.
"We are the former 25th Superpower Team, and now the 6th Team of the second batch of the exploration plan. We are currently located 150 kilometers north of Hope City."
