Chapter 226
Chapter 226
Under the snowy mountains of Slared, when Ying Chenlin asked for 15 minutes, the surrounding mecha masters fell silent.
Everyone can see how bad the environment outside is. To carry out repairs under such conditions is nothing more than playing with one's own life.
You Su's voice deepened: "Ying Chenlin, do you know what you are saying?"
"I know, but I won't say it if I'm not sure." Ying Chenlin took out a large pipe from the storage warehouse, with automatic bridge interfaces at both ends. "15 minutes, I can modify his program. There is no other way now, right? Is the key here?"
EM looked at Ying Chenlin cautiously: "I am here, but you don't have to--"
In the previous energy grab, both parties did not hold back. Even if Ying Chenlin agreed to take the damaged mecha out, he would not have to go to this extent.
"Then give it to me." Ying Chenlin said, "There is no time."
EM gritted his teeth and gave the key away.
When he got the key, Ying Chenlin imported all the information into the optical computer he carried with him.
At this time, the large pipe in Mecha Yuan's hand was connected to the pipe mouth on the back of the EM gun, and the bridge line between the two mechas was connected. The special bridging pipe is not an ordinary thin energy line. The space for flow inside this energy pipe is wider. After being peeled and cut, there is a narrow space inside that can accommodate the human body. At this moment, one end of the special bridging pipe is connected to the pipe mouth exposed on the back of the mecha, and the other end is connected to Mecha Yuan.
This type of energy pipeline has special protection that can isolate some pollution and temperature, and has a relatively stable internal environment in the current environment.
Only then did everyone understand what kind of "not being exposed" Ying Chenlin was talking about.
Zhao Lejie reacted, "Could it be that he wants to pass through this pipe?!"
Alice saw the huge bridge pipe and showed some surprise in her eyes, "Such a wide pipe."
Bai Xuyan frowned slightly: "Why did you bring this kind of pipe?"
"It seems that I brought this thing." Ji Qingfeng suddenly remembered when he had seen this thing before. "It seems that this thing was in a large-capacity storage device borrowed from Director Liu. This seems to be the largest pipe diameter, used to extract energy. We didn't want to bring it. This thing takes up space in the bag."
Zhao Lejie: "Then why did you bring it again!"
"Chen Lin said that this local administration has been abandoned. There might still be energy in the energy warehouse, and we might be able to use it." Ji Qingfeng said, "Of course it's faster to draw energy with us. With the few small energy lines of our mecha, it will take forever to draw energy. Time is tight."
Wen Yi looked at the pipe and said after a moment of silence, "With this diameter of pipe, are you here to drain the energy tank?"
Ji Qingfeng said aggrievedly: "How can you think of us like this?"
Other people in the Dawn Galaxy: “…”
While everyone was discussing, the pipes of the two mechas had been automatically docked. The special energy pipe openings had the function of correcting the docking, forming an absolutely sealed environment when the docking was successful.
"15 minutes." You Su frowned and reminded, "15 minutes is up, you come out immediately."
"I know." When Ying Chenlin opened a certain internal panel from inside Yuan's cockpit, the energy of Yuan's right half of the body had been completely cut off, and he entered a completely oxygen-free maintenance pipeline environment.
He found an oxygen mask from the maintenance kit that he always carried with him, put it on, and jumped into the internal pipe of the running mecha. The icy temperature instantly hit him, and the biting cold corroded his skin.
The low temperature of the external environment has affected the inside of the mecha, but it is still within the cold range that the combat suit can withstand. Ying Chenlin did not hesitate. He used special tools to open the pipes connecting the inside of the abyss and slid all the way to the pipe opening for maintenance.
The mecha Yuan was suspended in the air, causing a height difference between the entire pipeline and the position of the EM guns. As soon as Ying Chenlin entered the energy pipeline, he slid down along the energy pipeline. The diameter of the pipeline was relatively small for an adult, and Ying Chenlin was small and flexible, so he was able to pass smoothly inside.
Ji Qingfeng was sweating. They couldn't see the changes inside the pipe from outside. "Yaobao, don't shake your hands!"
Lin Yao's hands were steady. He held the EM gun tightly and said, "I won't move!"
Underground in Slared, no one dared to make a sound to disturb each other. When Yuan entered the automatic program, the others spontaneously formed a protective circle to provide the most stable environment for the maintenance engineer working in the center.
The downward force caused by the height difference was very large. When Ying Chenlin was about to reach the pipe mouth, he used his feet to brake the downward force. His whole body hit the pipe wall, making a slight sound.
Ying Chenlin reluctantly turned on the light source he carried with him, and looked up to see the sealed pipe opening of the EM gun. It was not so easy to move inside the mecha from the outside. Without burying special repair pipes, the inside of the mecha was full of parts and metal nerves, making it difficult for the human body to enter and exit. Fortunately, only a small part of the mecha was in operation now, otherwise, with the mecha fully powered, he would not be able to move in this place at all.
He placed his foot on the opening of the pipe, and the mechanical pliers in his hand found the part's latch and forcibly disassembled the opening of the pipe.
Outside, You Su frowned and looked at the connection location of the EM gun pipeline.
Wen Yi noticed the pipe shaking slightly from a high place, "It seems we have arrived."
In the United Front Channel, everyone couldn't help but sweat when they learned that the Dawn maintenance technicians used large energy pipelines as a bridge to enter the opponent's mecha. Most of the time, maintenance technicians perform maintenance in a safe maintenance room environment. Even for difficult operations, there are intelligent machines to assist the operation.
The energy pipe enters the opponent's mecha through the internal environment of the mecha. In order to prevent the energy from being affected by temperature and pollution, the materials used in the energy pipe can generally withstand such a harsh environment. But who would have thought that a maintenance engineer would bring a special energy pipe with such a large diameter and enter the opponent's mecha through this energy pipe.
Such an operation of entering the mecha through a special pipe in a highly polluted area is difficult, dangerous, and unheard of.
The channel has shared a live modeling diagram built by an EM maintenance technician, showing the bridging situation between the Mecha Abyss and the EM guns through diagrams. Maintenance technicians from various teams are discussing the difficulty and time of this operation.
“It’s too much to ask of a maintenance technician.”
"He entered the interior of an unfamiliar mecha, and the directions of the parts and metal nerves were all what we just sent him."
"With such a short time, it might be difficult to even find the direction of the cockpit after 15 minutes of entering through the pipe."
The EM maintenance technician said: "When I gave him the key, I gave him the shortest path diagram. I'm not sure if he can actually find the location based on the diagram."
The Shuguang people also saw the demonstration diagram of the construction. When they saw the complex internal structure of EM's mecha, even the shortest path was filled with winding metal nerves, they became nervous.
"With that pipe, there's no way to get into the cockpit, right?" Jiang Simiao had been in KID for a long time. When he saw the location marked on the diagram was directly behind the cockpit, he asked, "Isn't it impossible to pry open the cockpit from that place?"
"Not all repairmen have to destroy the mechas when repairing them." Shen Xingtang frowned, staring at the coordinates of the damaged mecha, and said, "Destroying the damaged mecha and prying open the cockpit is irreversible. It is usually only pried open when there is an emergency rescue for the mecha technicians, or when the mechas are damaged to the point where they cannot start normally."
There are no restoration tools to pry open the cockpit in the wild, and prying open the cockpit will only accelerate the deterioration of the environment of the mecha division inside.
Brother Zhang asked: "You said that we can't pry open the cockpit in the wild, so he is——"
Shen Xingtang briefly explained Ying Chenlin's purpose, "Use that pipe to connect the two sides and enter the back of the cockpit through the maintenance port. There is an external program table behind the cockpit, which does not count as full entry into the cockpit. He probably wants to modify the program from that position, so he needs the mecha key of the EM gun."
"We can't pry open the cockpit..." The Black Crow leader said, "Then how did Sink leave the Mecha Abyss? Could he have pried a path out of the Mecha Abyss?"
"He really couldn't leave the Abyss. He didn't enter the pipeline through the conventional path, but through the maintenance pipeline inside the Abyss." Shen Xingtang pinched his eyebrows, "EM Gun was lucky. He met our KID maintenance technician. No matter who it was, any other maintenance technician would not be able to modify the program in such an environment."
Others only saw the operation path from the demonstration diagram. Only the maintenance technicians knew how dangerous such operations were. Otherwise, the maintenance technicians in the United Front Work Department would not have argued so fiercely.
Shen Xingtang knew what kind of environment Ying Chenlin passed through when he left the mecha and entered the pipe. Most likely it was the maintenance pipe pre-buried in the body of the mecha. In that case, no matter who was directly exposed to the environment, it would be courting death. The best way was to enter through the internal pipe of the mecha and deal with the inside of the mecha. The material used for the internal pipe was similar to that of the cockpit and had a certain resistance.
Yuan has not been completely modified. The reserved pipeline is for the convenience of placing small equipment and robots. It is a bit difficult for adults to pass through, but it is not impossible. Now it has become the only way for Ying Chenlin to rescue the EM mecha division.
No one can see the situation on site, they can only simulate the dangerous environment through demonstration. The more simulation, the lower the success probability reported by the intelligent system. Later on, the other maintenance engineers remained silent, knowing that it would be difficult to achieve the goal. They were helpless from the outside and could only watch the young maintenance engineer take the risk.
The Black Crow leader was worried and asked, "Can he be saved?"
"It's very dangerous." Shen Xingtang knew that it was useless for her to stop Ying Chenlin now. When the other party asked for the key, the people at the scene probably stopped him once. She said with a headache: "It's okay if there is enough time, but
This kind of environment, there is bumpy, pollution everywhere-"
The mecha may become unstable and shake, or be hit by contaminants... These operations may seem to cause no damage to the mecha, but for a maintenance technician who is surrounded by countless metal nerves and parts, he has to use his body safety to withstand even the slightest collision.
There is no other way. Now we can only leave it entirely to the on-site maintenance technicians and the mecha technicians who create a stable environment for them.
Under the ground of Slarede, more and more pollutants were pouring in, rushing towards the central part from all directions.
15 minutes would pass very quickly under normal circumstances, but at this moment, every second counts for the surrounding mecha masters.
Two gunnery mechas came down from the division that was digging the tunnel, guarding the left and right sides respectively from a high place. The two tanks retreated half a step, turned on the energy of the defense shield to the maximum, and jointly covered the two mechas, one high and one low in the air.
While fighting outside, Ying Chenlin had already entered the body through the maintenance port that was pried open by the EM gun. He pushed aside the metal nerves and used a detector to check the power supply. Fortunately, the energy consumption of this mecha was very limited, and there was no residual energy inside. This was good news for Ying Chenlin.
The path map sent by EM was of great help. Ying Chenlin recalled the path map he had memorized and moved through the metal nerves with the help of the faint light source. He grabbed the metal nerves with one hand, stepped on the parts in the gap with his combat boots, and jumped to a higher place.
The maintenance port at the rear is an access point provided to maintenance technicians to repair the upper and middle parts of the mecha. This port is rarely opened in the contaminated area, but this location is closest to the cockpit and can save a lot of nerves.
Without destroying the cockpit, just move to the rear program interface of the cockpit and enter the external key to make changes.
After prying off the first layer of protection, Ying Chenlin entered the interior filled with metal nerves. His combat uniform was covered with a large amount of lubricant from inside the mecha, and his oxygen mask was also covered with it. He tried his best to avoid touching other things, and following the path map in his mind, he grabbed several parts panels on the back and found the location of the program carrier just behind the cockpit.
15 minutes passed. By the time Ying Chenlin entered the rear of the mecha through the pipe, 3 minutes had passed. It took him 2 minutes to reach the rear of the opponent's cockpit, so there were 10 minutes left.
Outside, other mecha warriors focused on protecting the middle position. As soon as Ying Chenlin left Yuan, they had entered combat status. They had to ensure that the mecha could float in a safe environment without any turbulence, otherwise Ying Chenlin, who was at the rear of the mecha, would be in danger of his life.
Qi Sicheng noticed the changes in the mission system. "The Star Alliance mission system has issued an emergency evacuation. Slarede is being closed. Something seems to be wrong."
"There is only one reason for the retreat. The severity of the mission endangers the safety of a large number of mecha divisions." Bai Xuyan continued, "Such a swift and decisive style should be due to the arrival of Wei Changyang, the commander-in-chief of the Star Alliance mission. He is a very vigilant person. Usually when he says to evacuate, the severity of the situation has exceeded 70% of the estimate."
Time is running out. It will probably take them another two hours to get out of this place. They don't know if others can evacuate safely.
At this moment, the blue light shield on the EM gun supported by Lin Yao disappeared. This scene fell into the eyes of others, and everyone became nervous instantly. Ji Qingfeng couldn't help but curse: "Damn, can't you hold on a little longer! It's not even 15 minutes yet!"
"Energy is starting to disappear." You Su told Ying Chenlin through the external loudspeaker. He said coldly: "You have seven minutes left. Time is not enough. You have to come back immediately."
The time from energy disappearing to the mecha's failure to function is still safe within 7 minutes, and Ying Chenlin, who is located behind the mecha's cockpit, will not be affected.
Within these 7 minutes, Ying Chenlin must solve this problem, otherwise he can only leave before the mecha's functions completely disappear. Once it exceeds 7 minutes, all the protective environment of the mecha will disappear, and it will be no different from being exposed to the outside.
EM Hidden looked nervous, he knew it was very dangerous for Ying Chenlin to risk his life to save his teammates. 15 minutes was already the limit, and now the time was shortened again, leaving Ying Chenlin with only 7 minutes.
It was too extreme. The other people in Shuguang didn't dare to relax, but they couldn't provide any other help.
The only maintenance engineer on the scene was Ying Chenlin. If he didn't rescue him, he would have to watch helplessly as the EM gun energy was sucked away by the volcanic rocks and he died there. No one wanted to see this outcome.
"Where is he now?" Alice looked back repeatedly.
Lin Yao was the closest, but he couldn't tell. "I don't know. I didn't hear any sound."
When he heard the prompt sound of the expansion, Ying Chenlin did not slow down his movements. He had no time to hesitate and calculate. He was lucky to come to the back of the cockpit while passing through. When he knocked on the cockpit, the mecha technician inside responded to him by knocking.
The EM guns are awake and can respond to the outside world.
Ying Chenlin arrived at the location, switched to a small spiral blade and forcibly destroyed the outer layer of protection. After invading the protective layer of the program board, he found the program key sent by the EM maintenance technician from the optical computer he carried with him. Through the key, he entered the control program of the EM gun cockpit and began to adjust the internal program on the suspended program panel.
On the way here, he had quickly gone over the mecha operating procedures in his mind several times, and he remembered every step very clearly.
There is enough time, provided that his teammates can create a suitable maintenance environment for him. Ying Chenlin wiped the lubricating oil off the oxygen mask with his hands, and quickly adjusted the program with his oily hands. He skipped several pieces of information in his mind and quickly went into the next step of thinking, measuring the time consumed while operating.
Three minutes after the blue light shield on the mecha's exterior disappeared, You Su reported the time to Ying Chenlin again: "Four minutes."
The fluorescent blue virtual panel was flickering, and Ying Chenlin's thinking brain paused for a moment. You Su was timing him.
He gave up thinking and kept his eyes on the virtual screen, changing several strings of data.
After 3 minutes, there were more external pollutants. Several pollutants broke through the defense and hit Zhao Lejie's shield. All kinds of strange superpowers were released, causing the two tanks to shake. Ice cubes fell from above. You Suo lowered the output of the energy cannon and quickly scattered the ice cubes to other people. "3 minutes."
3 minutes, Ying Chenlin counted the time silently, and the program in front of him finally popped up the modification instructions.
He quickly set the mecha's 90% restart time, and the fingertips of his left hand were frozen stiff.
Ying Chenlin frowned and changed his right hand to a robotic arm. The arm made of special metal moved freely at this time. For the first time, he felt that his robotic right hand was not a bad thing. The robotic arm had too many special resistances than a normal human arm. Even in such a low temperature environment, the robotic fingers were not affected at all.
The icy red color of the volcanic rocks underground quickly faded from translucent. Two of the mecha masters in the battle had their energy recharged. Looking down at the fading color of the volcanic rocks, they couldn't help but worry, "The color of the volcanic rocks under our feet has faded."
"Energy is disappearing quickly." Qi Sicheng felt the suction from the ground. The energy leaking from the outside of the mecha was quietly flowing into the ground. "There is still something underneath. We have to hurry."
"How's the road going!?" Alice looked up.
Bai Xuyan: "It's still going on. Even if we go faster, it will still take another hour!"
Wen Yi caught a glimpse of the cracked ice in the distance and hurriedly switched on the cannon to freeze the ice. Even so, the cracks in the ice were getting bigger and bigger. He hurriedly warned: "There is a collapse around us."
High-intensity bombardment and excavation will inevitably result in collapse. This kind of collapse is not a problem for the mecha pilot, but it is fatal to the two mechas that are currently bridging.
More and more rocks fell from great heights, and it was too late for guns and artillery to intercept them.
Lin Yao steadied the mecha and used one free hand to conjure a space stick. The stick head tapped his toes, and the temporary space in the air blocked the falling ice. "Chen Lin, hurry up!"
"One minute." You Su said sternly, "Give up."
"Ying Chenlin, come out."
"Move the shield up." Claude shouted, "Sink, give up the rescue!"
Ji Qingfeng said: "Chen Lin! We won't save him anymore, come out!"
EM's hidden voice was a little depressed: "...Give up."
As signs of collapse appeared all around, the pollutants attacked more and more fiercely, and the defensive pressure on the mecha divisions increased dramatically.
Everyone's heart sank in the United Front Channel that was monitoring this place in real time. Shen Xingtang grabbed the communicator and said quickly: "Ying Chenlin, the ground collapsed, a large amount of volcanic rock energy disappeared, Kronos is very close to your location, give up the rescue, get out immediately--" This work is by...
Before he could finish his words, a violent alarm sounded in the United Front Channel, and everyone's attention was drawn from underground to the surface. "What's going on!?"
The mecha divisions and border army soldiers from various Covenant teams who were fighting against a large amount of pollutants came under attack, and the pollutants that were originally fighting against them actually exploded one after another! The self-detonation of a single pollutant can be controlled, but the simultaneous explosion of so many pollutants and the sweeping attack is equivalent to being hit head-on by the explosion for the mecha divisions at the center of the battle.
The energy swept up by the successive explosions sank into the ground and was quickly absorbed by volcanic rocks, carrying it to deeper places.
"Kronos actually..." In the Third Star Region Border Army's main control room, the commanding officer said coldly: "It actually controlled these pollutants to self-destruct."
"The defense line of the Slarede contaminated area has been set up."
"Mechanists can evacuate! The base station jump coordinates have been set up!"
"Oh no, the vibrations from the explosion reached the ground—"
The underground collapse occurred, and the trapped mecha operators looked up, and a large amount of frozen soil and rocks fell in the ice cracks, hitting the mecha's shield one after another. Everyone's eyes turned to the two connected mechas, and voices from the United Front channel called out one after another.
"Has Ying Chenlin come out yet?" Shen Xingtang asked in a trembling voice.
"No message received." The staff member said: "A large number of self-explosions affected the underground signal, and we lost the connection with them."
Ji Qingfeng inserted a scimitar into the hairy monster, and under the cover of EM's concealment, he cut open the monster's fur and cut off the opponent's energy crystal and its head. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly used the body of the mecha to block the ice falling from high above.
Lin Yao managed to keep his body steady while shaking, but the mecha still shook slightly, "Oh no!"
At this time, Ying Chenlin pushed the entire program board back, and the program board automatically sank into the back layer of the mecha. His left hand was frozen and slow, and he could only use his right hand to shuttle through the countless shaking metal nerves. The external sounds echoed in his ears, and the metal nerves hit him several times.
Ying Chenlin used his mechanical arm to block the damage, and his body quickly slid down along the metal nerves, sliding all the way to the maintenance port in countless oils and lubricants. His combat boots stepped on a certain partition board with a bang, and Lin Yao, who had sharp ears, immediately heard the sound, "I heard a sound!"
Everyone was stunned, and when they looked to the side, they saw that the outer periphery of the EM gun that had lost its protective shield was lit up with a faint blue light again, and the mecha that had consumed 80% of its power was started again at this time.
When it was restarted, You Su, who was at the back of the mecha, came quickly and handed a tube of energy to the energy bin on the side of the mecha. The EM gunner mecha master gained brief control of the mecha, started the active energy access program and took over You Su's energy tube. New energy supply poured into the mecha master's energy bin.
"Done!" Bai Xuyan shouted.
EM Hidden, trying hard to hold back the tears in his eyes, flew to a higher place to support the fallen rubble, "Stop it, he hasn't come out yet."
The mecha has started up, has Ying Chenlin come out? !
Yuan's automatic program was still on and the mecha pilot had not returned to the cockpit.
The shaking became more severe, and even Lin Yao could hardly
Steady shaking in such an environment.
Ji Qingfeng cursed his father and yelled, "Fuck you, did you hear that? Kro, your uncle!"
Zhao Lejie continued to curse: "Can you call the pollutants by their correct names? Chronos, damn it, tops the list of the pollutants I hate the most!"
The vibration continued. The autonomous mecha Yuan was unattended, and the pipes connecting the two mechas were shaking from side to side. Yousu's thrusters drove to the side of the mecha Yuan, clamped the waist of the mecha with one hand, and lowered the entire mecha down, "Lin Yao, lift the mecha up!"
Lin Yao reacted and raised the EM gun, and the height difference between the upper and lower parts was formed again.
——You Su, thank you for your great help.
While shaking, Ying Chenlin noticed the subtle changes in the mecha, and along the position of the pipe mouth, his whole body shrank into the pipe. The body covered with engine oil had a stronger sliding force in the pipe, and it slid suddenly towards the abyss.
Bang—cracks appeared on the ground, and the shaking became more violent. At this moment, a piece of rubble hit the pipe connecting the two mechas. Everyone's expression tensed and they all looked at the situation in the pipe, but no one responded.
You Su's voice was filled with suppressed impatience: "Ying Chenlin, did you hear me? Answer me!"
"No," Alice cried, "we must get into the tunnel. This place will soon be buried."
"The others fly up first." Qi Sicheng: "Don't hesitate, the others go first!"
Each mecha can only enter the dug tunnel first. The gunner mecha continues to clear the way at the top, and the mecha at the bottom enters. The falling rocks from a high altitude hit the pipe again, and the downward force broke the interface connected to the EM gun end, breaking the entire pipe.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
It's over.
You Su led Jijiayuan to avoid the falling rocks around him, grabbed the pipe with his backhand and raised it up a corner, and shouted loudly: "Ying Chenlin!"
"...I heard it." A weak voice appeared in the communication channel, and Ying Chenlin fell into the cockpit. The special maintenance port behind him was closed. Yuan detected the entry of the owner, and the operating mode of the entire mecha was changed. The open joints inside the mecha were closed one after another, and the cold airflow rushing in from the broken pipe was blocked outside the mecha.
You Su was stunned: "Ying Chenlin?"
Ying Chenlin's teeth were chattering from the cold, and his hoarse voice was a little weak: "You Su, don't shout so close... I have tinnitus."
The author has something to say:
