"It shouldn't be here. This is probably where the gatehouse of our mansion is located."
Lin Hai spoke softly, and did not stop the guards from setting up a defense line in the hall. In fact, he had seen from the corner of his eye that many soldiers had pushed the crusher in, and neatly stacked the robot wreckage at the door in front of the crusher as a cover.
For people who fight robots every day and live under the shadow of death brought by robots, it is difficult for them to let their guard down just because their emperor has become the other side's prosecutor.
"Now what? What do you need me to do?"
Lin Hai spoke to the air in front of him.
"Please confirm the list of visitors you need to bring into the control room. The number of people must not exceed fifty, which is the maximum capacity of the orbital module."
Okay, Lin Hai then named fifty people. Actually, there was nothing to choose from. A few important figures and guards armed with various weapons quickly made up the list of fifty people.
The sound of mechanical structures creaking in the hall was followed by a broadcast announcement: "Loading visitor identity data... Extracting visitor information... Visitor authentication successful... Visitor identity registration successful... Orbital module access is now open, and visitors are authorized to enter the orbital module."
The next moment, a silver-white circular metal platform about ten inches high slowly rose from the ground in the center of the hall. The platform looked quite large, with a diameter estimated to be around ten meters.
"What do we do now? Stand on it?"
Although he knew that the system could hear everything, Xia Junao still asked Lin Hai in a low voice.
This stumped Lin Hai. How did he know what to do?
If I follow the routine of science fiction movies, I should be standing on this platform, and then a red light/blue light/green light... okay, forget about the green light, anyway, some ghost light flashed, and then I should be standing in the so-called control room.
Lin Hai was about to say, "Why don't we try standing on it?"
Then I heard the clicking sound of the mechanical structure gradually getting louder, and a cylinder that fit perfectly with the base slowly descended from the ceiling, and then buckled tightly onto the platform.
I can only say that it's a good thing they didn't stand on it. Otherwise, if this thing didn't have any safety features, the alliance leaders would have been wiped out at the last moment...
As a sliding door opened, Lin Hai confirmed that this cylinder was the so-called orbital module, and the thing just now was at most the base of the orbital module.
"You can go in now."
Lin Hai said as if to say, "I come here often, I'm very familiar with this place."
Xia Junao and the others raised their chins and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Mr. Lin, he's so knowledgeable and experienced that he's even seen a trap like this."
Lin Hai smiled crookedly: What a joke, what kind of science fiction movies haven’t I seen in all these years?
When everyone entered the bright and spacious "orbital module", the historic "first time a local Aboriginal person took an elevator" finally began. As the orbital module started smoothly and began to accelerate upward, Lin Hai was quite curious about where this orbital module could go.
Judging from the name, could it be that it's meant to reach as high as outer space? After all, it's called an orbital module, so it would at least be able to reach a synchronous orbit.
Before he could finish his thought, he felt the orbital module under his feet begin to slow down and quickly stop.
Is technology so advanced that it takes less than a minute to enter synchronous orbit?
Everyone who walked out of the orbital module was immediately shocked by the scene revealed by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance on both sides.
Shi Zhen'er even squeezed Lin Hai's hand tightly. Lin Hai felt a slight trembling and wetness coming from the palm of Shi Zhen'er's hand.
"Brother Lin, look, look quickly..."
Shi Zhener pointed out the floor-to-ceiling window with her right hand.
This made Lin Hai speechless. What was so good about a bunch of clouds? It looked like he had not risen very high. At best, he had just risen a few hundred meters above the clouds.
Speaking of this height, let alone such a sci-fi control tower, there were buildings in the past that could achieve this. Compared with these things, the entire control room is really shocking.
If I had to describe it, the layout of the control room was similar to the cockpit of a space battleship in one of those sci-fi movies Lin Hai had seen before. In front of it was a massive projection screen, scrolling through data on the entire continent... from the terrain of mountains, rivers, and lakes to the weather in various regions and even the distribution of population movements...
Lin Hai's eyes scanned the screen when he was captivated by a set of numbers... These were mainland China's population statistics for the past year: 1,781 births, 10,348,421 deaths, and 2,056,831 new disabled people...
Unexpectedly, despite the alliance's desperate situation, there are still more than a thousand newborns... At this moment, Lin Hai didn't know whether to be happy or angry, but now it seems that having new life is always good.
It's not surprising that the number of injured and disabled people is far less than the number of deaths. After all, the Guards rarely leave anyone alive. Wounded people on the front lines are rare; most of the casualties come from production accidents and transportation incidents in the rear...
Lin Hai suppressed his inner turmoil and forced his eyes away from the pile of numbers... In front of the holographic projection was a platform, and on top of the platform was a silver-gray metal chair. Judging from the buttons on the armrests of the chair and the operating screen next to it, this should be the operating position of the main control room.
At the waist of the platform, there is an arc-shaped operating platform with a number of small operating chairs and screens. It seems to be the position of the staff...
