They are about 3.2 meters tall, with short limbs, but have a flexible robotic arm at their waist that allows them to crawl around their entire body in a circular track.
Jiang Ling walked forward and knocked on their outer armor. The sound waves transmitted back showed their double-layer structure.
"Is this the fourth generation? Why does he still look so stupid, big, and rough?" she teased.
"The material of the framework has changed, and the operating system has also been upgraded to a new generation. You can try it later. It's much smoother than those things from last year!" Engineer Yang introduced.
"Oh, right!" Ning Weihe pulled out a palm-sized cylinder from his trouser pocket and tossed it to Jiang Ling. "This is the learning data for the exoskeleton you wore last time. I brought it with me. It will be very useful."
Jiang Ling took the data core and whispered a thank you. Then she watched Engineer Yang operate the hydraulic hanger, lower the two exoskeletons from the shelf, and carefully store them in a cargo box.
Soon a truck came and took away the three cargo boxes and two people.
They drove along the green line and came to a lifting platform, where they and a pile of goods were lifted to a higher position.
Soon, they arrived at Area 3 of Donghai Station.
Area No. 3 is even busier than the area below. Countless forklifts and unmanned transport vehicles are moving among the crowd. They are all carrying something, some of which looks very heavy.
The structure is generally circular. After descending from the elevator platform, one must pass through two large, permanently open watertight doors. Opposite the doors, on the wall behind the temporary cargo storage area, are a row of submarine entrances and exits. These circular entrances and exits are approximately 15 meters in diameter, large enough to accommodate most carriers and some cargo submersibles.
The two men's transport vehicle drove to Exit 22, where a multi-purpose submarine was already waiting.
The driver backed the car into a berth marked by yellow lines. Several four-claw cranes immediately crawled along the track above the entrance and exit, and then moved the cargo boxes on the carrier one by one into the rear cargo hold of the submersible.
The two men got out of the car, and Jiang Ling could finally see the submarine clearly.
It looks like a horizontal boot, with a protruding piece under the front end of the cylindrical hull, which is obviously the perfect result of a pragmatic designer.
They followed a folding manway to the upper hatch in the middle of the submarine. A man in a short-sleeved shirt and beach shorts leaned against the fence next to the hatch, quietly smoking an e-cigarette.
