Chapter 113
Chapter 113
A few minutes ago, Ying Chenlin might have agreed with the strategy of guarding the base station, but when he was sure that the supporting mecha division was trapped outside the restricted area, he did not want to agree with this decision. They do have sufficient energy now, but the pollutants they are dealing with are not ordinary pollutants. Ordinary pollutants can be dealt with by killing them, but those energy-related pollutants of unknown origin are obviously beyond their handling range.
There is insufficient support, there are tentacles outside that are more destructive and cannot be dealt with by mecha, there are problems with radar detection... All these problems have accumulated, and the safety risks they bring to the mecha commander are too great. Relying solely on Jifeng's medical mecha and him, they cannot solve the irreversible mecha wear and tear problem. In the end, they may not be able to hold out for even half a day.
In the absence of support, the combat method based on base stations is too restrictive to the mecha pilots and will only increase the loss of mechas.
As a maintenance technician, he couldn't bear to see the mecha operators carrying out high-risk missions when there were already such hidden dangers.
Ying Chenlin knew how big the energy reaction was. It was already 20% higher than the original one, which meant that the shielding system of the base station could no longer block out the smell of the energy here. The Kolya pollution area is a high-risk pollutant area with a lot of pollutants. The restricted area is located in the forest. I am afraid that the pollutants surrounding the outermost area have completely blocked the road.
"It's too dangerous to prioritize the base station." Ying Chenlin continued, "We are already alone now. If there are no mecha divisions to support us in the future, we will only be exhausted to death here if we make this self-depleting decision."
A young and decisive voice. When Colonel Lu heard the other party's voice, some memories suddenly emerged in his mind. He subconsciously looked at You Su who was standing next to Ying Chenlin, "He said the same thing as you did back then."
The man in KID combat uniform had an indifferent expression on his face and looked much more mature than he did eight years ago, except for the way he looked at people, which had not changed over the years. The casualness and self-confidence in this man have not changed after so many years, but compared to now, You Su was younger and more aggressive 8 years ago... At that time, he dared to openly disobey the commander-in-chief in the combat channel.
You Su sneered when he heard this, and then looked at Ying Chenlin, "Do you want to know why the border troops are guarding the base station to the death?"
Ying Chenlin glanced sideways slightly. You Su was still standing not far behind him, but he didn't know why the other person's face had that casual expression again, and his eyes were looking at him.
You Suo said calmly: "Because if this base station is destroyed, the border will be lost."
Ying Chenlin's pupils shrank when he heard this: "What do you mean?"
Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Lu shouted sternly, "You Su!"
Huo Yan stepped forward and blocked Ying Chenlin and You Su. He looked directly at Lieutenant Colonel Lu and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Lu, I know that the mission of the border army is not convenient to disclose to others, but now that our alliance mecha
The division also accepted the task and should know why we are guarding this base station. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Lu’s eyes were fixed on You Su.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lu, we have reason to know."
Qi Sicheng stepped forward and said, "Luxi, put the things out."
Lu Xi on the side hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward to show her the things she had taken pictures of after Qi Sicheng entered the research institute. After Ying Chenlin and You Su discovered the things underground, she felt strange and went to look inside the research institute. She found large culture pools in several laboratories on the first floor. Those culture pools had been broken, and the liquid inside seeped into the laboratory through the cracked ground. The scene was very strange.
When he saw those things, Lieutenant Colonel Lu paused slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.
Finally, he picked up the communicator and said, "I will ask my superiors for instructions on the details of the mission. The specific situation--"
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden vibration from above, and the people who were talking suddenly looked up.
A certain contaminant crossed the mecha division's defense line and hit the defense system, causing a violent vibration.
"With permission from my superiors, I will inform you of the mission details, but the most urgent task now is--" Lieutenant Colonel Lu didn't have time to waste here. He was about to walk out, but stopped half a step when he heard Ying Chenlin's voice.
Ying Chenlin said: "Something is wrong."
You Su glanced sideways and noticed that Ying Chenlin was looking up, his eyes fixed on the place that was hit by the pollutants.
Ying Chenlin realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately ran towards the base station control room, "The defense system is getting weaker!"
When the news of the weakening of the defense system came out, Colonel Lu's face turned extremely ugly.
You Su noticed the changes in the sky and suddenly thought of something, "Let's go to the energy warehouse!"
Ying Chenlin stopped in his tracks, and when he heard You Su's words, he suddenly raised his head, and his expression tensed when he saw a certain change.
The slow weakening of light effect is not due to a system problem, but a lack of supporting energy.
He didn't know the internal layout of the base station: "Where is the energy warehouse!?"
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Lu seemed to have decided something, "I know the location, follow me."
Seeing Ying Chenlin and the others walking towards the base station, Lu Xi asked: "What should we do now?"
"What can I do?" Huo Yan gritted his teeth and looked up, thinking of what You Su had just said: "We can only hold on for the time being."
When Qi Sicheng saw that there were more and more pollutants gathering outside, he immediately changed direction and ran outside with Huo Yan.
The energy warehouse of the C-147 base station is located on the second underground floor. It takes less than two minutes to reach the destination by going down the stairs on the side of the building where the base station control room is located. Just on the second negative floor, they could smell a strong scent of energy. Lieutenant Colonel Lu revoked the access rights to the underground second floor and took Ying Chenlin and You Su directly to their destination.
When the door of the energy warehouse opened, what came into view was a broken energy pipe in the sky. Several cracks appeared on the interior walls of the energy warehouse. Energy leaked from the disconnected energy pipe dripped down, and a pool of energy liquid had condensed on the ground. When Ying Chenlin saw this situation, he immediately rushed forward and ran to the energy device first to confirm.
Lieutenant Colonel Lu was shocked when he saw this: "The energy compartment of the base station has been specially reinforced, how could there be a crack?"
You Su glanced at the cracks around him and said, "This crack is not an external crack. It is more like a vibration caused from deep below."
He looked at Lieutenant Colonel Lu and said calmly, "What else could it be? Something is overly active."
Ying Chenlin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the condition of other energy pipes. This energy warehouse was indeed more special than other energy warehouses. All energy warehouses were specially reinforced, and some active energies were handled in separate pipelines. At least there was no need to worry about explosions caused by leaks in the energy warehouse here.
But apart from this, a serious problem also lay before him.
There are several energy pipes with cracks, and it is unknown how long the leakage has been going on. However, since it has caused insufficient energy supply to the base station's defense system, it means that there must be problems with other pipelines... If it is not dealt with urgently, other systems in the base station may also have problems.
"We should be thankful that this place has been specially reinforced. The people who designed the energy warehouse had prepared a plan. When the energy warehouse was damaged by vibrations, emergency measures were activated to prevent more serious consequences." Ying Chenlin stared at the virtual screen in front of him, "But the bad news is here. The emergency measures have been activated for a long time. Now the direction of the energy pipes here is messy, and the energy needed by the defense system is not delivered to the right place."
Lieutenant Colonel Lu noticed Ying Chenlin's movements and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ying Chenlin took out the repair kit, looked up, and replied, "Repair."

In the Koria Administration, the Dawn staff returned to the lounge after gathering information and said to the remaining mecha divisions in the Dawn System, "It seems that several teams of Border Army mecha divisions have gone to the jump zone. There are so many people coming."
The virtual screen floating in the lounge displayed radar information near the restricted area in the Koria contaminated area. Dense pollutants crowded in, and the information of the mechas that had newly entered the radar map was almost submerged in it.
Jiang Simiao said while operating: "The pollutants in Qiujin at that time were still attacking separately. The pollution value in Kolia was higher than that in Qiujin. This time, almost all of them rushed towards the restricted area."
"Are there any border troops to support us?" Hu Luobu crossed his arms and looked at the situation, puzzled. "Using mecha divisions to clean up this scale is too slow. What are the border troops doing? They can just use large weapons to bombard and clear out a place."
"Maybe the border troops don't dare to use it, and want to protect the shielding system in the restricted area?" Jiang Simiao was overwhelmed. It was impossible to judge the situation in the restricted area at a glance. "There are too many pollutants. The radar system is affected. If this goes on, we may not even be able to contact our own people."
On the other side, the Black Crow group, who had been silent, looked over.
Chi Liz was browsing the Star Network. "I saw some news online. It seems that someone has discovered the actions of the Border Army and is discussing it."
This situation is too special. They have been staying in the lounge since they came out of the mission site. Seeing that the situation in Koria is getting more and more serious, how can they, as mecha divisions, stay here? Colin and the leader of the YDS base looked at each other and turned around to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, Hu Luobu and Chi Liz followed him.
Colin: “What?”
Hu Luobu said: "Old Zhao and Ji Qingfeng are still in there."
Chi Liz turned around and saw the encouraging look from the Black Crow leader, so he said, "If you sneak in, take me with you. Our leader said so."
Black Crow Leader: “…”
Ke Lin: "I'm going to the control room to eavesdrop. Are you guys going too?"
As they were talking, they suddenly noticed that the door to the lounge in the second star field next door was also opened.
Bai Xuyan walked out, followed by a group of mecha masters from the second star domain.
When the two mecha masters faced each other, Hu Luobu and Chi Liz inexplicably took a step back behind Colin.
Ke Lin looked at Bai Xuyan: "What's the matter?"
"Let's not talk about the conflicts between our star regions." Bai Xuyan glanced in the direction of the jump zone, "Our operational goals are the same. The situation in Koria can no longer be allowed to continue."
The three people from the Dawn Galaxy looked at him.
Bai Xuyan said with a cold face, "Take me with you."
-
In the main control room of the Koria Administration, there is a communication screen in the center connecting the communication screens from various areas.
The restricted area is attacked by non-energy pollutants, and the area outside the restricted area is surrounded by a large amount of pollutants.
The mobilized border troops are on their way here and have deployed a large number of troops, but they dare not use large weapons because the shielding system of the restricted area cannot withstand the bombardment of large weapons. ◣This◣work◣is◣made◣
The severity of the situation is not just here, but also the news that Lieutenant Colonel Lu received not long ago -
The mecha division that entered the base station was attacked by something underground in the research institute.
Director Kolya looked grim. He looked at the news sent by Lieutenant Colonel Lu not long ago and shook his head. "It shouldn't be like this. Every time we checked for so many years, the thing underground was dead. It couldn't have any signs of attacking people. Are you sure that the mecha master over there is right?"
Old Qiu frowned tightly.
A staff member received the message and looked at Mr. Qiu: "Mr. Qiu, the lieutenant colonel sent a message. Should the other mecha divisions be informed of the mission details?"
The mission level of the restricted area is S-level. All mecha operators involved in the mission must not disclose any details. From the initial rescue to now, all the insiders in the control room have not mentioned any information about this matter to outsiders.
But now, the people involved are not only the Border Army Mecha Division, but also several mecha divisions in the Dawn Mecha Alliance. This is no longer something that can be concealed by simple excuses.
Elder Qiu looked at the man in the middle of the communication screen high up, "Lieutenant General."
The middle-aged man on the communication screen representing the border troops had a stern expression on his face. He looked solemnly at the current situation in the Koria restricted area, and his falcon-like eyes seemed to be scanning something.
On the other side of the communication, Li Jingyan, who represented the Dawn Galaxy Mecha Alliance, frowned tightly. He sighed and said, "Lieutenant General, now that things have come to this, it's time to tell everyone present about the Coria restricted area. Since the Mecha Alliance is involved in this matter, the participating mecha masters should have the right to know."
Shen Xingtang and Brother Zhang also looked at that man.
Finally, after a moment of silence, the middle-aged man spoke: "Mr. Qiu."
The elder Qiu who was named stood up and looked at the persons in charge of the two bases of Jifeng and KID, and said, "The story of the restricted area started more than 20 years ago."
As soon as Mr. Qiu started talking, the voices in the control room stopped involuntarily.
"C-147 Base Station was once a weapons research institute under the Border Defense Research Institute. At that time, the environment in the Koria contaminated area was not as severe as it is today, and it met the standards for establishing a research institute." Elder Qiu explained in a deep voice: "At that time, Station Chief Ying Songshan was in charge of all weapons research. Many of the heavy weapons of the border troops today were developed at that time, until the mutant pollutant fire attacked the Koria contaminated area 20 years ago."
"The core location of that attack was right at the current restricted area. The strength of the mutated pollutant fire far exceeded that of other pollutants. In the end, the border army had to call in special forces to suppress it. The pollutant was killed by Major General Ying in a battle that lasted nearly two days."
Mr. Qiu paused here, and after a while he sighed and said, "But I didn't expect that was just the beginning. The subsequent pollution riots caused by the mutated pollution fire lasted for more than half a year. The riots caused the deaths of many researchers and border troops. In the end, the border troops used a large number of troops to suppress all the pollution."
Mr. Qiu spoke slowly, as if recalling something from the past. "The C-147 base station was attacked by a large amount of pollutants. The surrounding environment was no longer suitable for weapons research. The researchers planned to evacuate all research results and heavy weapons. Unexpectedly, the attack of pollutants caused damage to the facilities inside the base station and destroyed a research culture pool at the time."
At this point, everyone was stunned.
"That research culture pool used biological material weapon solution. The destruction of the culture pool caused all the pollutant residue to seep into the broken wall. At that time, all the weapons in the weapons library at the bottom of the base station were contaminated with the residue, causing a special reaction."
Brother Zhang was stunned when he heard this, "...did those polluted fluids cause mutations?"
"It's not a mutation, but the contaminated liquid contains special ingredients." Elder Qiu said, "Because of its reaction, it merged with the surrounding pollutants and weapons. At that time, when we wanted to evacuate the weapons, it was already impossible. The weapons contaminated by the contaminated liquid were almost fused with the walls of the entire base station. The weapons changed their appearance greatly, and the internal energy pipes were all messed up. Not only could they not be stored in the storage device, but they could also not be cut away through the original design line."
Shen Xingtang was slightly startled when she heard this. This was something she had never heard of when she was on a mission eight years ago. "You mean to say that those weapons are still under the base station?"
"Yes." Qiu Lao couldn't help but sighed: "Because of the fusion damage caused by the polluting liquid,
This causes those weapons to be completely out of our control, and any carelessness will cause them to explode. The researchers tried several solutions and finally came up with a way to neutralize the weapon. However, the commonly used weapon neutralization tools were useless against the fused contaminated weapons. Finally, the former station chief Ying Songshan used the special structure of the C-147 base station to establish a restricted area shielding system. ”
Shen Xingtang paused: "That's how the Coria penalty area came about."
"Yes." Director Corea stood beside him with his hands behind his back. "That batch of weapons has always been a hidden danger. The border army can only seal off the C-147 base station. Over the years, Mr. Qiu has led researchers to find a way to neutralize that special weapon. The border army sends people to the restricted area every once in a while to clear out pollutants. The situation in the restricted area is special, and this secret cannot be known to too many people, for fear that it will be used by someone with ulterior motives."
A staff member heard this and asked worriedly: "What would happen if those weapons exploded?"
Mr. Qiu said: "The energy content of that batch of weapons is enough to make the entire Koria contaminated area disappear."
After these words were spoken, everyone around fell into dead silence.
The location of the Koria contaminated area is special. It is the closest to the border contaminated area of the first and second star fields. If this contaminated area disappears, it will be equivalent to a gap in the defense line established by the border army to defend the border contaminated area. At that time, the border defense of the first and second star fields will be endangered.
Brother Zhang was stunned when he heard this. No wonder they had to guard the base station to the death.
If the base station is destroyed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"But in our investigations up to last year, we didn't find any of these special energy-type pollutants. There is only one fusion weapon underground, so it's impossible for pollutants that can attack people to appear." Elder Qiu's face became very serious when he said this. "If this is true... it's only possible that the fusion weapon is alive."
Before he could finish his words, an alarm sounded in the control room.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the source of the alarm.
"It's bad." The staff member who answered the alarm said, "The defense system energy alarm of the C-147 base station is low on energy."
Shen Xingtang immediately looked at the imaging system imported into the base station. On the system, she saw several mechas flying outside the base station, and the base station system whose purple light effect was obviously not as good as before. She asked, "Is the energy supply in the base station sufficient?"
A defense system without energy supply is equivalent to having no defense at all, and no one dares to take the risk.
"Maybe there's something wrong with the energy warehouse at the base station." Elder Qiu said in a hurry, "Contact the mecha technicians at the base station and ask them to go to the energy warehouse to check the situation."
Director Kolya said: "But what if we go to the energy warehouse? None of the mecha divisions of the border army can repair the energy warehouse--"
Speaking of the energy warehouse, Brother Zhang felt strangely familiar for some reason: "I seem to have heard Zhao Lejie say that in your base..."
Shen Xingtang tilted his head slightly and glanced at the switch of the imaging system.
The situation of the energy tank in the C-147 base station appeared in front of everyone. At first glance, they saw that two pipes in the energy tank were broken. But before they could see the situation inside clearly, they saw a young man climbing up at the risk of energy leakage. He was clinging to a high pipe, carrying a huge maintenance bag on his back, and climbing towards a certain location with a clear purpose.
Everyone in Kolya was slightly stunned when they saw this situation.
"Red team uniform? Is this KID's mecha master?"
"How can a mecha master act recklessly? It would be terrible if he touched an energy source that he shouldn't touch."
A staff member in charge of energy management asked in surprise: "Several internal pipes are broken now. Can we get in touch with the site? What is the current situation of the energy storage device?"
When Elder Qiu saw the man's right hand clearly, he was stunned. He whispered, "...Ying Chenlin."
Several leaders on the communication screen were also watching the surveillance footage of the guide coming out, and Li Jingyan's gaze paused for a moment.
The middle-aged man from the First Star Region Border Army Headquarters in the middle looked at the thin figure and frowned, "Can he handle it after entering the energy warehouse?"
No one in the control room could answer. At this time, Shen Xingtang looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "Lieutenant General, he can handle it."
The voice on the communication screen stopped for a while, and the lieutenant general's eyes fell on Shen Xingtang and asked, "How sure are you?"
Shen Xingtang took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "I am sure that we can empty half of the Tianyu Star Energy Storehouse."
The author has something to say:
I stayed up too late and feel like today’s update will be late.
Everyone, come around seven or eight o'clock! See you tonight!
