Chapter 114
What does it mean to be sure of emptying half of Tianyu Star’s energy storage?
When Brother Zhang heard Shen Xingtang say this seriously, he covered his face tightly. It was not easy to talk about the past, but everyone benefited from the things that happened on Tianyu Star.
Shen Xingtang continued, "Lieutenant General, he is a mecha repairman. The tools in the repair kit can support on-site repairs."
The lieutenant general's gaze fell on Shen Xingtang, and Shen Xingtang looked back at him openly.
After staring at each other for less than a few seconds, the lieutenant general withdrew his gaze, as if agreeing to the repairman's emergency repair. He looked at Mr. Qiu and said, "Ask Xiao Lu to report the situation on the scene. Be prepared for both situations."
Mr. Qiu immediately notified Colonel Lu.
Just as the lieutenant general finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a man in red and white combat uniform leaning against the corner of the surveillance camera.
He frowned slightly, his eyes stayed on the other person, but soon the surveillance camera was aimed at the pipes in the high places, and the man disappeared from the surveillance range.
Inside the C-147 base station, the energy liquid in the energy tank has dripped all over the floor, and the entire pipeline has become sticky and difficult to climb. When Lieutenant Colonel Lu saw the young man climbing up, he subconsciously worried that the other party would do something reckless. However, when he saw the other party's skillful climbing posture, the worry in his heart was reduced for some reason.
Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at You Su who was standing beside him. You Su did not take any action and just watched from the side.
"You seem to trust him," said Lieutenant Colonel Lu.
You Su stood against the wall. Next to him were two cracked lines on the wall. He said calmly, "Really?"
"Yes." Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked away. "At least eight years ago, you would not hand over the defense to another teammate."
He walked towards the energy device and checked its condition.
When You Su heard what Lieutenant Colonel Lu said, he looked up at Ying Chenlin who was climbing higher and higher. His eyes reflected the other person's figure, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When Lieutenant Colonel Lu got closer to the energy device, he realized that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
The pipeline information on the central energy device has completely changed. Colonel Lu glanced at the current complex pipeline situation and looked up at the young man high up. How is that young man going to solve this problem? !
There is a pipeline in the energy warehouse that connects to the defense system and provides long-term energy support for the defense system. This energy pipeline has been specially blessed. However, the damage to the internal walls caused problems with several energy pipes supplying the defense system. Emergency repairs were not easy to do. This required finding out which energy pipe corresponded to the defense system and then gathering together all the energy supplied to the defense system from the energy warehouse.
Lieutenant Colonel Lu frowned as he looked at the chaotic direction of the energy pipes.
He sent this message to the Kolya General Administration through the communicator, and everyone in the general administration who received the message fell into deep thought.
A staff member who is quite knowledgeable about energy pipes said, "What Lieutenant Colonel Lu said is correct. If the problem is caused by vibration, what needs to be repaired now is to find the corresponding pipeline and build a stable energy pipe. But now the emergency measures have been activated, the energy pipes are disrupted, and the pipeline drawings on the original system may not match the current situation."
"It's not that we can't do it," the staff member explained, "but it's extremely difficult to do. Given the rate at which the defense system is weakening, the most worrying scenario is that the defense system will completely fail before repairs are completed."
Mr. Qiu: "Can you calculate the current pipeline direction?"
"Have Lieutenant Colonel Lu send us all the information on the scene through the communicator." The staff member said, "We will start calculating immediately..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man on the surveillance screen had already climbed to one of the pipes.
That was one of the cracked energy pipes at the scene. Black energy liquid was dripping down along the crack, and the sticky energy liquid was almost covering the entire pipeline.
The staff member said: "He wants to fix the leaking one first."
"But the crack is located outside, and there are no supporting points around it. Even if we want to repair it, I'm afraid we can't reach the crack—"
By this time, the young man had reached the position.
His combat uniform was stained with a lot of black mucus, and half of his body could not see the original uniform color. After briefly assessing the condition of the pipeline, he bent his legs and stuck them on the junction of the pipeline. His entire body rested on his left leg, with half of his body almost hanging in the air. In a tricky posture, he directly touched the crack from which energy liquid was oozing out.
Seeing this operation, the staff who originally said it was impossible were stunned, "Balancing on just one leg???"
In fact, Ying Chenlin balanced his body with one leg. The pipes here were slippery, but compared to the more complex internal environment of the mecha, such a large controllable point was enough for him to touch the leak point. The splashed energy liquid fell on his face. Ying Chenlin had to close one eye to avoid the impact on his vision. He took out the maintenance glasses from the maintenance kit and put them on.
Emergency repairs are a very basic operation for maintenance engineers. After ensuring his body balance, Ying Chenlin immediately took out the corresponding tools.
He couldn't use powerful tools because he was worried that the fire from the tools would cause the energy to burn and explode, so he could only use a small special glue gun to fill the gap. He moved his position little by little, using one hand to judge the crack in the pipe and the other hand to repair the crack in time.
Fortunately, the crack in the pipe was no larger than half a meter, so it didn't take too much time to fill it.
After repairing the pipeline, Ying Shenlin finally relaxed his tense mood.
But this is not the key point. The material used for the repair is mecha, which is not as durable as real pipe materials. This patch can only last for a period of time. He must rebuild a new pipeline in this time.
He came down from the top of the pipe, looked up to identify his next target, and immediately crawled towards that location.
The method of controlling pipeline redirection can indeed continue to protect the defense system, but the basic problem that Ying Shenlin is most worried about has not been solved. During the action, You Su's words still appeared in his mind. If the base station was destroyed, the border would be lost.
The location of the Koria contaminated area is indeed special... If the border is to be lost, the most likely possibility is that the core location of Koria will disappear. Although he didn't know where the strange thing underground came from, considering Colonel Lu's performance and the abnormal energy reaction inside the base, he was afraid that the thing buried underground was a hidden danger that neither the border army nor the management bureau could solve at present, and it was enough to completely destroy the hidden danger of the Koria contaminated area.
From this perspective, he could probably understand why Colonel Lu wanted to defend the base station.
This base station is the final barrier imposed on that thing. Once it is lost, there will be endless troubles.
Ying Chenlin was well aware of the border army's considerations, but with such a firm hold, even if they managed to save the base station, they would not be able to guarantee the safety of all the mecha divisions.
He didn't want to see such an outcome, and he felt there were other ways to have the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, Ying Chenlin looked up. There were so many energies here——
He suddenly thought of something.
Outside the venue, everyone's attention was focused on the young man on the surveillance screen. He was climbing very fast, carrying such a large maintenance bag, and he climbed the slippery pipe with ease.
On flat ground, after reaching each pipeline location, the direction of the energy pipe can be adjusted.
The staff in the control room calculated the pipeline conditions on site at the first possible moment. When the new drawings were placed in front of Director Koria, he was suddenly stunned. Several points specially marked on the new drawings are almost identical to the maintenance technicians in action on the surveillance footage, except that the maintenance technicians on site move faster and can almost guess the next move while they are in the process of taking action.
How can a maintenance technician be so familiar with operating pipelines?
Director Kolya was shocked. What did Boss Shen from the KID base say just now? Empty the energy storage tank of Tianyu Star... ?
How much secrets about the contaminated area of Tianyu Star were there that the outside world didn’t know about? !
Old Qiu looked at the young man and seemed to see the shadows of other people in him.
Shen Xingtang would never be disappointed with Shen Lin. After all, she was the one who could provide the mecha division teammates with inexhaustible energy from the base station defense area when all members were short of energy. She had even "requisitioned" the energy at that time, and now it was just a matter of finding the corresponding transmission pipeline in the chaotic energy pipeline. Even if the pipelines were all messed up, for someone who was in contact with the C-147 base station energy pipeline for the first time, there was actually not much difference between chaos and order.
"That's not right? Why would he move this pipe?" the staff member holding the blueprint suddenly said.
The people in the control room looked at the pipe pointed out by the staff and found that the position of the pipe was indeed different from that calculated from the drawing. Old Qiu looked at the position where Ying Chenlin moved. The pipe he moved had nothing to do with the defense system. It didn't matter whether the pipe moved or not. But he didn't understand why Ying Chenlin still touched it since he had seen all the situations clearly?
Shen Xingtang frowned and said hesitantly, "It seems that he is not just moving one pipe."
Inside the field, the pipes in Ying Chenlin's energy warehouse continued to move. He controlled the switches of various hanging pipes, and the direction of all energy flow in the field changed with his operation.
The energy warehouse was very quiet, so quiet that the only sounds were Ying Chenlin's running on the pipe and the sound of twisting the pipe switch. After patching the leaking pipe, his speed became faster. The change of the internal pipe switch valve allowed the mixed energy to flow along the new pipeline route again.
Lieutenant Colonel Lu did not walk far. He stood in front of the central energy device and saw the colors representing various energy sources on the operating table flowing separately and then converging into a pipe. This convergence did not affect its functions. Ying Chenlin almost opened up a new energy route to the defense system based on the original balance.
"It's amazing that he can remember all these channels."
"No wonder he wanted to patch it first. There was a problem with the pipeline in the defense system. He was adjusting the energy route."
Seeing such skillful pipeline adjustments, Brother Zhang seemed to understand why the energy of Tianyu Star was consumed so quickly. He looked at this scene with mixed feelings and glanced at Shen Xingtang who was standing next to him with a serious face. No matter how many times he had to sigh, where on earth did KID dig up such a treasure? !
Brother Zhang asked: "Did you really spend 8,000 star coins to recruit him?"
"Are you here to get information again?" Shen Xingtang glanced at him, "I even spent 4,000 star coins to hire an all-round online store manager."
Brother Zhang: “…”
8000 star coins are real.
"It seems to be working." said a staff member.
Shen Xingtang and Brother Zhang immediately looked at the surveillance screen and saw that the boy who had been running on the pipe had come down from the top of the pipe. His body was covered with black energy, and his combat uniform could no longer be seen. Even his maintenance glasses were splashed with black spots.
After he landed, he put down the maintenance bag on his back and ran to the central energy device.
When the permission box required to adjust the energy pipeline popped up, Colonel Lu was about to use the communicator to request the permission password, but he saw the young man standing next to him take off his gloves, took out a light computer from his body and started calculating.
Seeing this operation, Colonel Lu stopped requesting to contact, and the next moment he saw Ying Chenlin entered the permission password.
Once the permission password is entered, the permission to change the pipeline is approved.
Ying Chenlin breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the system running normally.
At this moment, someone else's voice suddenly came.
Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at Ying Chenlin with a complicated expression: "How did you get the special authority password?"
Ying Chenlin paused, and seeing the other party's serious expression, he was about to speak when he heard footsteps from the other side.
You Su walked over a few steps and stood right next to Ying Chenlin.
Ying Chenlin did not directly answer Lieutenant Colonel Lu's question, but asked another question: "Lieutenant Colonel Lu, before this, we need to determine a question."
"My superiors have approved my application, and I can tell you the details of the mission." Lieutenant Colonel Lu thought Ying Chenlin wanted to ask about things inside the base station, and was about to briefly explain the current situation, but the other party took the initiative to talk about another matter.
"We'll talk about the base station later. There's a more serious problem." Ying Chenlin took the initiative to speak: "The problem with the energy pipeline is only a temporary solution. The defense system requires mixed energy. One of the pipelines in the mixed pipeline is insufficient. Even if the defense system can operate normally, it won't last too long."
Lieutenant Colonel Lu said solemnly: "We will solve the energy problem as soon as possible."
"I'm worried that we won't have enough time to support them. Our mecha division won't be able to hold out for too long." Ying Chenlin looked at him. "Your border troops have been in and out of the contaminated area so many times. What's going on with those energy-related pollutants outside?"
Lieutenant Colonel Lu hesitated.
You Su, who was standing beside him, said in a less serious tone, "He can't answer you."
"I can't answer this question for you. It's not that I'm deliberately hiding it." Lieutenant Colonel Lu glanced at You Su and said truthfully, "I can only say that in the border army's previous investigations, we have never found this type of pollutant. I can't provide you with exact information."
This is also one of the reasons why this operation caught everyone off guard. Before the last reconnaissance last year, the situation in the restricted area was very good, and the pollution value could be said to be the best in many years. Therefore, the reports of energy-related pollutants and underground weapons attacking people are unprecedented. Lieutenant Colonel Lu frowned slightly, "But I guess these pollutants may be related to the old culture pool of the institute."
Ying Chenlin was puzzled: "Old culture pool?"
Lieutenant Colonel Lu: "That part of the research was stopped 20 years ago. The current data should still be sealed in the underground floor of the institute."
Ying Chenlin asked directly: "Where is the entrance to the basement level?"
-
In the control room, when new energy entered the energy pipeline of the defense system of the C-147 base station and the energy alarm message from the C-147 base station disappeared, everyone in the control room, who had been holding their breath with fear, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
“It actually worked?”
"Mr. Qiu, the alarm has disappeared and the defense system is returning to normal operation."
"Very good!"
No one else in the control room expected that the sudden problem with the base station would be solved by KID's maintenance technician. Not long ago, they were still worried that the base station problem would lead to unsolvable consequences. Now that they saw the situation eased, many leaders present looked at Ying Chenlin on the surveillance screen with a little more appreciation in their eyes.
Mr. Qiu's gaze stopped on Ying Chenlin. The surveillance camera did not zoom in, but just looked at the other person's back. For some reason, he thought of Ying Songshan from many years ago. The C-147 base station was run by Ying Songshan alone. When he and Ying Songshan worked at the base station in the early years, he often saw Ying Songshan chatting and laughing with the group of staff in the base station while handling all the problems that arose in the base station.
Ying Songshan is engaged in weapons research, but earlier he was a mecha designer.
From youth to middle age, he dedicated most of his life to the border. If there had not been that mutated pollutant, he and Ying Songshan would have worked hand in hand until their old age. But the pollutant appeared, the pollutant caused riots and attacks, and border soldiers and researchers died one after another. Ying Songshan aged several years during that time and resigned.
Everyone knew at the time that it wasn't entirely his fault, but he still took it all on himself.
While others were discussing quietly in the control room, a staff member suddenly said, "Mr. Qiu, the people in the energy warehouse have moved."
Qiu Laodao: "What's the situation?"
The staff member said: "Lieutenant Colonel Lu sent a message saying that they entered the underground first floor of the institute."
Enter the basement level of the research institute? When this report came through, several people in the control room had strange expressions. They all looked to the other side of the surveillance camera. The telephoto camera saw a young man standing at the central device, carrying a maintenance bag, and following the other two people towards the blind spot.
Director Coria looked at Mr. Qiu and said, "The underground floor is below ground level. I remember that was the information about the old culture pool, right?"
Mr. Qiu was puzzled: "Contact Lieutenant Colonel Lu, what exactly do they want to do in the underground research institute?"
"Pull them in for surveillance, can you follow them?" Director Kolya said. $$
On the communication screen, the lieutenant general representing the First Star Domain Border Army's gaze stayed on You Su in the surveillance screen for a moment, and soon shifted to Ying Chenlin next to You Su. As the surveillance angle zoomed in, he could clearly see what the boy in the picture looked like.
When they saw the boy's face, the expressions of several people in the control room changed slightly.
The boy has a very young face, with energy liquid on his face. It is just a side profile, but it gives people a very familiar feeling.
"Mr. Qiu, what is the name of this young man?" asked the lieutenant general.
When the lieutenant general raised this question, Shen Xingtang's expression changed slightly. When he was about to speak, Mr. Qiu next to him had already spoken.
Elder Qiu: "Lieutenant General, his name is Ying Chenlin."
When he heard the name, the lieutenant general lowered his eyes slightly, and the figures of several people in the surveillance screen had completely disappeared.
-
Inside the base station, three people were running towards the underground research institute. It was a long distance from the energy warehouse to the underground research institute. Colonel Lu was familiar with the situation inside and quickly took Ying Chenlin through another road under the institute to the basement floor of the institute building.
As soon as they arrived near the research institute, the reaction in the energy instrument in Ying Chenlin's hand became more intense. It seemed that there was authority on the underground floor of the research institute, and Colonel Lu used his authority to clear the way for Ying Chenlin.
The three of them moved very quickly. When Colonel Lu opened the last level of authority, the underground research institute's basement level, which had been sealed for a long time, appeared in front of everyone. Ying Chenlin entered the research institute before them, and after determining the indoor layout, he went directly to the laboratory's operating table.
The operating table hasn't been opened for a long time, and it's covered in dust when you touch it.
Ying Chenlin found the power button, and when he saw the virtual screens light up layer by layer, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the system here is not broken."
When all the systems lit up, a huge culture pool appeared in the transparent wall in the center. At this time, the culture pool was empty, with only a few cracks in the wall left on the ground.
Seeing this, You Su said, “The things down there are very restless.”
Ying Chenlin just glanced at it and focused his attention back on the system, retrieving the research data here.
Lieutenant Colonel Lu was watching his operation and was about to ask other people about the matter when the communicator on his waist lit up again.
He had to leave the laboratory temporarily and go outside to answer the call.
In the slightly dim environment of the laboratory, the blue light of the virtual screen was reflected on the boy's face. You Su moved his gaze away from the culture pool and saw the information that Ying Chenlin was retrieving. "What do you want to check?"
"The composition of the culture pool." Ying Chenlin stared intently.
“I don’t agree with the stubborn defense approach, even though this base station is very important.”
Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes, but his hands on the operating table did not stop. "So I want to confirm one thing. If possible, I probably have a way to solve it."
Seeing the permission password box pop up, Ying Chenlin had to use his brain to calculate again. After he filled in the permission password, a database search box popped up in front of him. He enters the corresponding keywords.
[Retrieving, please wait. ]
"How to solve it?"
You Su's gaze stopped on Ying Chenlin. The boy had a strong smell of energy liquid on him, but he didn't care about it at all. He didn't even have time to take off the maintenance glasses on his face.
Ying Chenlin tilted his head slightly when he heard that, and You Su was standing next to him.
"I'm not sure what happened eight years ago." He looked at the other party and said seriously, "But I want to eliminate the pollutants and defend this base station without sacrificing anyone."
You Su did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.
Ying Chenlin thought he would not get an answer from You Su, but when he just turned his face, someone wiped it.
He was slightly stunned and realized that it was You Su's hand just now.
You Su withdrew his hand, his fingertips were stained with black energy liquid, which had just been wiped off Ying Chenlin's face.
He looked calmly at the database beside him and reminded——
"The entry was retrieved."
Ying Chenlin was stunned for a moment, then he looked away and looked at the database. He added in a lower voice, "I tampered with it a little when I was repairing the energy warehouse just now."
The author has something to say:
You are late!
