Chapter 225
Chapter 225
When the defense shield weakened, everyone's expression suddenly changed. The defense system that was activated after the mecha was 80% depleted used the remaining energy of the mecha for replacement. This was to ensure that in dangerous environments, when the mecha pilot could not leave the cockpit, he would have enough life-saving measures to wait for rescue by teammates or others.
Under normal circumstances, in polluted areas where the pollution and environment are not too severe, the mecha operator can replace the spare mecha in the field, or leave the mecha.
But the environment in Slared is too harsh, and the underground of the snow-capped mountains is in a highly polluted and low-temperature environment. The human body cannot survive outside the cockpit, so they can only move for a long time with EM guns. Under normal circumstances, as long as the residual energy of the mecha is sufficient or the residual energy is not destroyed, the mecha can last until they are taken out.
"No! I have been protecting it well, the shield cannot be destroyed." EM Yinmai was shocked and became nervous. "It was not destroyed during the battle just now!"
Lin Yao's energy consumption was very high, but when Ying Chenlin was fighting with the black shadow, he had been protecting this gun mecha to make sure that the other party did not suffer more serious damage. When the pollutant exploded, his space also blocked the damage. "It is impossible to be consumed."
It is impossible to be damaged... Then the only possibility left is -
Energy exhausted.
Ying Chenlin suddenly thought of something and flew quickly to the vicinity of the EM gun. He used the Flowing Fire Sword in his hand to push away the broken ice around him and saw some volcanic rocks that had fallen around the mecha. He frowned and peeled all the volcanic rocks that had fallen nearby to a farther place. He connected the special maintenance line on the medical mecha to the opponent's mecha, and the information he received was that a large amount of energy was being consumed inside the mecha.
"This is troublesome." Claude thought of something and continued, "This mecha has moved with you many times. You said that you were forced to accelerate before coming here. The energy consumption of the mecha in normal operation is supported by the backup energy pipe, but we don't know how much energy this mecha originally retained. If it is also in an accelerated environment, the energy used by the self-defense shield is also in an accelerated consumption environment."
Energy consumption. The Dawn mecha pilots carry too many energy tubes, and they have never considered the issue of energy consumption. Most of them have a clear idea of the body's energy consumption, and when the energy consumption does not exceed the psychological warning line, they will not look at the energy consumption rate. =This=work=is=made=by=
Qi Sicheng glanced at the remaining energy in his mecha and said in a deep voice: "The situation may not be as optimistic as we imagined. The energy consumption rate of my mecha is twice as fast as before. I checked the mecha time and it was not accelerated. The energy output rate of the weapon and the body has not changed, but the output has greatly increased."
"Oh my god, when did this happen?" Zhao Lejie looked at his energy consumption in astonishment. "When we thought it was normal output, the energy output doubled. How is this possible?"
Mecha consumption is already a big problem for the troubled mecha pilots, and now there is an additional inexplicable energy consumption.
And all this happened without their knowledge. Even if there was enough energy, this unpredictable consumption was too creepy. Where did their energy go?
"Have you found out what's going on?" You Su asked.
Theo completed the mecha's self-check in a short time, and his voice quickly reported the results of the check: "There is no energy failure in the body, and the output rate of all body functions is within the normal range. The only problem is that the frequency of energy mobilization on the surface of the mecha has increased. The body automatically adjusts, and a large amount of energy is consumed here."
The cockpit displays the energy output environment of the mecha. This is a free adjustment system for the mecha to resist environmental changes. It consumes very little energy and has never been considered by the mecha pilot. The original minimum output of the body's operating energy has become the place with the highest output frequency.
The other mecha masters also completed their self-inspections. Theo said, "I just talked to several other S-class mechas, and they also had the same problem."
You Su frowned, "This is not going to be easy."
"It's not just because of the acceleration... there's volcanic rocks under our feet."
Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes and looked at the destroyed ice layer under his feet and the volcanic rocks scattered all over the ground.
The volcanic rocks have the effect of absorbing energy. The energy originally converted by the blue heart has also been absorbed by the volcanic rocks that are scattered throughout the underground of Slared. The range of the mecha's self-protection shield is about one meter from the body. Under normal circumstances, if it does not touch the volcanic rocks, the leaked energy will not be absorbed so quickly by the volcanic rocks...
Ying Chenlin said: "These volcanic rocks may no longer be the volcanic rocks we know in common sense. These volcanic rocks are rapidly absorbing our energy."
Upon hearing about the volcanic rocks, all the mechas had to fly higher for a distance, farther away from the volcanic rocks on the ice surface. However, it seemed that flying high or low was no longer a matter of concern; energy consumption had become an unavoidable problem.
"We have enough energy for now, and the energy manager has brought a lot." Wen Yi looked at the EM guns and cannons, "We can sustain the energy consumption, but he can't. It's okay to carry a mecha that has passively entered a defensive state, but his defense layer is still there. We can't charge it externally. Even if we charge it externally, the energy may not be adjusted to a state that supports defense."
Medical mechas cannot be repaired. Medical mechas can only save mechas with damage below 60%. Mechas that have reached 80% can only be sent to the mecha logistics department and handed over to maintenance technicians. This is obviously a problem that is easy to solve. If it is not in such a harsh environment, they can pry open the cockpit and take the mecha pilot away. But in this harsh environment, they cannot pry open the cockpit or repair the mecha. It is a completely unsolvable situation.
"It hasn't reached the limit yet." Ying Chenlin said, "Immediately ask the maintenance technician at your base whether his mecha has retained the old program, that is, 90% of the default program!"
EM Anonymous: "…What do you mean by 90% default programs?"
"Just ask me if you want to. Do you still want to save your brother?" Ji Qingfeng was still fighting with the Explosive Monster. Seeing this, he said, "Hurry up!"
EM Hidden didn't dare to waste any more time. After hearing Ying Chenlin's words, he immediately connected to his captain's communication.
, the communication message was received by the EM Logistics Department, and the base maintenance engineer quickly gave him a definite answer. He hurriedly said: "Yes... Our base has reserved 90% of the default programs."
"He's lucky." Ying Chenlin closed his eyes and thought, then quickly opened them: "He can be saved. As long as we can get into his mecha, we can change the operating instructions of 80% of the defense system and change the limit to 90%. The mecha can recover its ability to move for a period of time. We can save him by changing all the settings during that time."
"That's impossible!" Bai Xuyan quickly rejected the question. "The human body can't stand the current environment outside. It's impossible to repair the mecha. If you leave the cockpit, you will fall into a coma in less than 5 seconds. The human body doesn't have a protective shell like a mecha. Going out in an exposed environment is suicide."
No one agreed with Ying Chenlin's decision to take the risk. Repairing the mecha could indeed save the life of the EM mecha operator, but it was impossible to perform repairs under such extreme conditions. If they could get out of the cockpit, they would not need to repair the mecha. They could just take the mecha operator out and put him in someone else's cockpit. They would not have to worry about wear and tear. If a mecha broke down, they could just replace it with a spare one.
But this happened to be right under an ice cave, and the mechas were almost frozen, not to mention the mecha pilots who were exposed to the environment.
"Lin Yao, pick up his mecha and turn his back to me." Ying Chenlin suddenly said.
When Lin Yao heard Ying Chenlin's order, he brought up the EM gun and said, "Is that so?"
As soon as the mecha was lifted up, the back of the mecha was completely presented in front of Ying Chenlin. He controlled the output of energy on the surface of the Flowing Fire Sword and stuck the tip of the sword at a certain node of the armor. The energy output hit the tip of the sword. The next second, the increased energy output stimulated the reaction of the protective shield like a cutter.
The blue light became brighter in an instant. Ying Chenlin gritted his teeth and suddenly increased his speed, breaking through the fragile protective shield and removing a certain armor plate behind the mecha. It fell to the ground with a thud, revealing a special pipe opening at the back of the mecha.
That is the rear maintenance entrance reserved for maintenance technicians to carry out repairs.
You Su said disapprovingly: "Should be Chen Lin."
"It can be repaired. I have a way to enter the mecha without being exposed." Ying Chenlin said calmly, disconnecting the empathic connection with Yuan, changing the mecha to automatic endurance mode, cutting off part of the energy supply to the storage tank, and opening a pipeline on Yuan's mecha specifically for maintenance.
Yuan is Ying Chenlin's mecha, which is still half-modified and the pre-buried modification channel inside has not been completely removed.
This modified passage can be connected to the maintenance port at the rear of the cockpit, ensuring that Ying Chenlin can reach the rear passage without being exposed to the external environment. Fortunately, Yuan's mecha is half-modified. If it was fully modified, this pre-buried passage would have been removed by Ying Chenlin long ago... then there would be no way to connect to the mecha maintenance pipeline.
There is indeed no way to pry open the cockpit from the outside to enter, and the cockpit cannot be pried open at this time without special protection.
What if you enter from the mecha's special supply pipe and go directly behind the cockpit? There is an interface for the cockpit program there.
"Can you give me a stable environment? I only need 15 minutes." Ying Chenlin said: "I need the key of this mecha."
-*
When the situation underground in the ice cave was transmitted to the EM logistics department, everyone was checking the wear and tear information of the guns and mechas. The logistics department could monitor the damage to their own mechas, and the more they looked down, the more they felt the predicament of their own mecha divisions. In such a harsh environment, energy depletion means the suspension of the mecha's operation. Without constant temperature support and oxygen supply, the possibility of the gunner mecha division surviving underground is very low.
"With no energy source at all, how long can he survive?" EM's head coach's expression was terribly cold. "Can he hold on until he gets back to the ground?"
"It can't hold on. If the power source is completely cut off, the temperature inside the mecha will continue to drop." The head of the EM maintenance department said, "In that case, the balance system of the entire body will disappear in less than 10 minutes, and the temperature in the cockpit will drop below zero. Only the basic defense of the mecha will be left. It will be fine in a normal environment, but in that environment, it will not be able to hold on until our rescue arrives."
"How could this happen? Even if his mecha was depleted by 80%, he could still last a day." Others said, "How could the energy suddenly be depleted to this extent? Such consumption is simply unsustainable."
"Just now, Suguang asked about the 90% default programs, but you know that the default programs can't solve this problem either."
EM Maintenance Technician probably knew the purpose of Dawn Maintenance Technician asking this question. Entering the self-protection program at 80% of the consumption is a rule during the league competition, and it is also to ensure sufficient consumption protection. 20% of the energy and consumption can allow the mecha to last longer when damaged.
90% is the rule of the previous competition system before the reform. If the old competition system program is retained, then after the mecha enters 80% autonomous protection, it can actually use the program key to start the old program and restore a certain degree of manual control of the mecha. As long as manual control is activated, certain functions of the mecha can be temporarily restored, allowing operations such as external interference with the mecha's charging to be performed.
The editable program is complex and cannot be modified by a mecha technician without maintenance experience. It can only be done by a maintenance technician.
The maintenance technician also has to enter the cockpit to perform maintenance. If he cannot enter the cockpit, he cannot perform this operation.
"Charging and repairing are relatively simple operations for maintenance technicians." EM maintenance technician said, "But the difficulty lies in that environment where it is impossible to move outside the mecha, so maintenance technicians can't do their work at all."
In the EM starship, all the staff members had grim expressions on their faces. They had not anticipated the extremely low probability of a super S, nor had they expected the extreme energy consumption. Even if a super S and pollutant riot occurred, as long as the protective layer of the mecha was still there, they could still support the rescue. Alex and other mecha divisions above only needed to dig for another two hours to open a way to the ground for them, but the EM guns could not last for 2 hours.
"A Shuguang's mecha master requested the key..." The staff member turned to look at others: "He needs to perform maintenance."
In the warship of the Third Star Region, the support soldiers sent by the Border Army have entered the territory of Slared and are providing follow-up support to the mecha divisions in various places. In the snow mountain area of Slared, the soldiers who arrived have also joined the ranks of suppressing the pollution riots, speeding up the clearance of pollution, but a steady stream of pollution continues to climb to the ground and attack a large number of mecha divisions.
"We have located the Dawn Mecha Master Lucy. She and her teammates are dealing with the S-rank Light-colored Butterfly."
"Team Three has entered the perimeter to conduct a cleanup operation. We will reach her location in 10 minutes. We will do our best to escort her to the excavation team's location."
"Very good, rescue the mecha division first." After the Third Star Region Border Army Operations Leader gave the order, he looked at the Star Alliance Mission Chief who was checking the energy status next to him, "Old Wei."
He was the first person to react to this action, and he was also the one who applied for the mobilization of the border troops of the third star field.
If he had not mobilized the Third Star Domain Border Army in the first place, they would not have been able to arrive at the scene of Slarede in such a short time, let alone provide support and rescue in the first place.
The Chief Commander of the Star Alliance Mission - Wei Changyang, was formerly the Chief Deputy Commander of Operations of the Third Star Domain Border Army, and was transferred to the Chief Commander of the Star Alliance Mission.
A mecha master who has been dealing with pollution riots for many years, he has participated in three clearing missions against Kronos.
"Kronos' energy reaction mainly appears underground in Slared, and the most obvious area is the snow mountain area." Wei Changyang stood in front of the main control console. He looked at the report on the energy changes in the entire Slared area with a calm expression. "We guessed right. It is in the Slared Snow Mountain area, right in this part of the area."
He circled out the snow mountain area, and the designated area was the area where the mecha division was trapped.
According to the tracing of all energy reports, the source of everything comes from this area and is even expanding outward.
"Old Wei, it will be difficult if it really appears in this area." The officer of the third star field said: "Based on our prediction of Kronos's ability, if it is really in this area, the mecha operators will not be able to escape. It can completely control the flow of time. Once it fully exerts its time power on the mecha, the mecha operators will have no way to escape."
"It has already had an impact on the mecha."
Wei Changyang was sure that this pollutant appeared in the ice cave of the snow mountain. Judging from the large amount of pollutants surrounding the mecha and the speed at which the mecha escaped, it was completely out of order. It was very likely that Kronos was controlling it. "I have a very bad feeling. If it can affect the mecha master, why doesn't it attack the mecha master directly? With its ability, it would be easy to attack the mecha master. There is no need to interfere with other pollutants to attack the mecha. This is too slow."
Kronos caused a riot throughout the entire territory of Slared, and the purpose of his action was too special.
It seems as if there is some other unknown purpose behind these riots.
Wei Changyang: "You Su is also underground. He is the one who has seen Kronos. We haven't received his alarm message yet, which means Kronos hasn't completely approached them yet, and the impact on their time flow is limited."
“You Su?” The officer of the Third Star Region paused, and quickly eliminated the trapped mecha divisions one by one until he saw You Su’s face. “Why is he in the Third Star Region again? This is the second time! We just helped him settle the matter three years ago, and this time so many eyes are staring at him——”
What affects the limited flow of time is the distance issue.
The range of Kronos's ability is limited, so it didn't move?
Wei Changyang realized something and his eyes were fixed on the underground of Slared Snow Mountain.
"Commander, this is bad." The staff member in charge of monitoring the speed said, "We have detected that a large amount of energy is disappearing from the ground. All of it is gathering at the center of Slared. The energy of the volcanic rock is rapidly decreasing."
The underground of Slared is full of volcanic rocks, because this polluted area was originally a volcanic polluted area. Later, due to environmental changes in this area, it evolved into four areas with different environments. Accumulated underground are special volcanic rocks. These volcanic rocks originally gathered a large amount of energy leaked from the roots of blue heart plants, and have maintained a stable energy situation after the death of the main core pollutants.
Half an hour ago, the energy of the volcanic rock began to weaken. At first, the staff thought that it was a sign that the energy decline was stabilizing. However, now the speed of energy decline has not slowed down, but is getting faster and faster, as if there is a huge suction cup underground that is rapidly absorbing a large amount of energy in the Slared volcanic rock.
"What's going on?" The officer's face changed slightly.
"I've always found it strange. With so much energy supply, how could the plant pollutant fail to evolve?" Wei Changyang placed his hands on the programming table, his eyes quickly scanning all the information. "This place may have been a food storage warehouse for Kronos a long time ago. The riot in Slarede ten years ago may have been caused by it."
"It can drive so many pollutants at a lower level. It already had powerful abilities before it evolved into Super S." Wei Changyang pointed at the core of Slarede. "I'm afraid that the special energy pollutants we found are also driven by it. It is using the resources of the entire Slarede to provide it with a steady supply of food. It's not those plants that are evolving. The pollutant that actually eats the energy is Chronos."
They have tested the purity of the energy converted by the Blue Heart, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of so many mecha bases.
Now, all the energy gathered during this period of time has been given to this super S-level pollutant, and it was the actual trigger of the evolution of this pollutant three years ago. Kronos is able to escape. Their border troops are very clear that if Kronos, who often operates on the border, has the means to enter and exit Slared and regards this area as its hidden reserve granary, then its almost fast evolution speed can be found.
“Now a lot of energy
The reduction is——? "The staff said.
Wei Changyang made an emergency call and said in a serious tone: "The core pollutant that provided it with energy to absorb energy is dead. Now it is using volcanic rocks to drain the energy of the entire Slarede."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
"There is no time to hesitate. Can the Slarede abandoned function be used? Open the defense system of the Slarede Administration, open the emergency jump points of each base station, and notify all mecha divisions to withdraw." Wei Changyang said coldly: "We must kill this pollutant here while ensuring the safety of the mecha divisions. Its growth potential is too terrible. Even if we fail to capture it this time, we must seriously injure it."
All soldiers of the Border Army began to take action, and Slared's urgent intelligence was reported to the Third Star Region and the Covenant Headquarters.
Wei Changyang handed over the command to others and left the command room. "Open the shutdown station. I'm going to Slarede's site—"
"Commander, there is a very bad situation." The staff member next to him said, "The trapped mecha division is also within the area of the volcanic rock. Their energy has also been affected and is rapidly decreasing... Luckily, they have enough energy, but one of the EM mecha divisions may not be able to be saved. He is extremely depleted and there are no conditions for rescue on site."
Wei Changyang's expression paused and his brows furrowed tightly.
"No -" the staff member suddenly said, "Connect EM and receive the latest news. A mecha technician is performing on-site repairs."
When Wei Changyang heard the news, he did not stop, but instead quickened his pace and left the control room.
On-site repairs! ? Are you crazy?
The officer of the third star field said coldly: "Stop him and don't increase the fearless sacrifice."
"The executive maintenance engineer was junior maintenance engineer Ying Chenlin. He entered the damaged mecha through a special maintenance pipeline."
The staff member was slightly startled, "The person has already left."
The author has something to say:
