Chapter 797

After seeing director Li leave, Lu Zhou took the elevator and went straight to the underground second floor of the main building of the Institute of higher research. He went through the access control hidden in the sample room and entered the unknown underground third floor -

that is, the underground laboratory.

The system rewards that his wreckage has basically been put here, under the care of AI.

Almost as soon as he stepped into the lab, a four rotor UAV with a display screen hung around him for two rounds.

Looking at the sticky AI, Lu Zhou immediately opened the door to see the mountain path.

"What's up with reptiles?"

The so-called "reptile" refers to the "reptile" all terrain remote control exploration vehicle, which is one of the samples that the system rewards when he completes the task in the previous stage.

Different from the clothes made of carbon nanofiber, the technology content of this thing is obviously much higher.

According to the description in the manual, its communication radius is up to three astronomical units in theory. Even if Mars and earth are in the farthest relative position, the terminal on his side can successfully receive the signal from the "reptile" all terrain remote control exploration vehicle. At most, the signal is weak, at most, the delay is high, and there is no real-time control.

I'm very interested in its communication device. The land boat tried to dismantle this device, but unfortunately it never found a non violent means to dismantle it. The manual also clearly wrote a built-in self destruct program, which may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Obviously it's probably the same type of thing as the nitrogen shield.

Either use a universal scanning gun, or you can only use it for scrap.

Fortunately, unlike the disposable non rechargeable nitrogen shield, according to the description in the manual, this device can be charged by solar energy and geothermal energy. When the energy is low, it will automatically enter the low-energy standby mode and restart when the environment is suitable.

Considering that the lunar space station has been deployed, the exploration of lunar surface resources is not expensive. This "reptile" is naturally used on Mars by land boats.

In this way, we can not only prepare for the future colonial activities, but also go to the "ruins" of the new Virginia colonial station to see what happened there.

AI: [has successfully landed on the surface of Mars! Ready to start! (?) ゞ]

Lu Zhou nodded his head: "let's start now."

AI: [yes! (???)]

the terminal of the "Crawler" all terrain survey vehicle is a heavy notebook computer, which is equipped with a signal transmitting and receiving device as large as a half water tank. And that signal transmitting and receiving device has been installed by the land boat beside the water tank on the top of the building of the Institute of higher research. In terms of blinding people's eyes, it's done quite well.

But then again, even if some people feel strange, they have no right to investigate here.

Even if we don't look at the important role of Jinling Institute of higher learning in the field of controllable fusion and aerospace, taking the brand of key cooperative research and development institutions of the air force and the Department of naval equipment as an example, it's not easy to find out the secrets here.

At present, the terminal of the "reptile" survey vehicle has been connected with the main engine of Xiaoai.

Five minutes after the ship's order, a black painted, prismatic metal box on Mars tens of millions of kilometers away made a sound of air leakage.

Then, the shell on one side of the box slowly opened, and a remote-control car less than half a person high and with angular shape rolled out three and a half car high tires. Under the preset command, facing the dust storm, it drove towards the site of the new Virginia marked in the map.

At the same time, the boat in the underground laboratory first made a cup of coffee for itself, then went to the experimental table and sat down, opened the control terminal of the survey vehicle on the table.

Quietly waiting for the countdown of the communication response to be completed, soon as the signal drifted from tens of millions of kilometers away, a line of dialog boxes jumped out of the screen.

["lightning" escape capsule opened! ]

["reptile" wakes up successfully! ]

[terminal connection succeeded! ]

with the pop-up of the last dialog box, the clear picture quickly came from the screen. While drinking coffee, the land boat watched the reptiles moving forward against the bad weather quietly.

It's obviously unrealistic to control this thing remotely with a delay of several minutes. This little guy has a simple "tool level" intelligence level. With pre-set instructions, he can basically complete the inspection tasks in the task list under the condition of no human control in the whole process.

The person sitting in front of the control terminal only needs to look at the signal sent by the delay of several minutes or even ten minutes to correct the possible "variables" in the investigation task.

In fact, it's OK for Xiaoai to do the work completely, but the boat hasn't been lazy enough. What's more, he's curious about the unique hole in the life support unit that condenses the most advanced artificial biosphere technology in North America.Without waiting for a long time, the outline of the life support unit has been reflected into the view of the main camera of "reptile" through the yellow sand in the sky.

Looking at the tragedy of this "relic", Lu Zhou recalled the concept map released by space-x on the official website, and sighed for half a second for Ares' plan.

When the escape capsule is launched, the whole life support unit is basically in a semi abandoned state. The remaining power may be enough for the life support unit to stand for a period of time, but most of this time will not last too long.

Before leaving, the return capsule will take away the remaining oxygen and methane as much as possible, and the jet tail flame will burn the shell of the life support unit.

When "reptiles" pass through the peripheral planting area, it can be clearly observed through the side camera of the land boat that the "vegetable shed" unfolded on all sides has basically been blown down by the high temperature air flow, and most of the plastic cultivation vessels are buried by the sand.

But these are small problems. After all, only a few days after the sandstorm, after confirming that the sandstorm is global, the colonists have recovered all the crops here, and the whole planting area is basically in a state of waste.

When I got to the garage door, an antenna like a feeler touched the access control. Soon, the program loaded into the life support unit was started, unlocking the garage door.

As the door opened slowly, the crawler activated the lights on the roof of the car, so it swaggered in.

Through the terminal screen, looking at the undefended life support unit, the heart of Lu Zhou can't help feeling.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the CIA did it, but I didn't expect that the research on the stalled artificial biosphere technology came back to him in this way.

Maybe this is the so-called fate or reincarnation.

Although he doesn't believe in these things.

After passing through the warehouse area, I went straight to the experimental area and looked at the garbage tied up by plastic bags on the ground. The image of the last few weeks here was probably restored in the mind of the land boat.

In order to save living resources and precious energy, the colonists have moved from the living area to squat beside the only communication terminal that can get in touch with the BFS spacecraft.

Thinking of it, Lu Zhou was amused.

I don't know what kind of expression these escapees will have when they get on the Xiaguang and find that the Xiaguang with the cabin can take a bath.

In front of the laboratory console, the antenna previously connected to the access control system once again protruded from the reptile's shell and clicked in front of the console chassis.

Soon, the extinguished screen lights up and a row of progress bars appear on it.

With the completion of the progress bar, it has been packed with data only to be picked, all of which have been taken over by reptiles and transmitted back to the land boats tens of millions of kilometers away.

After a quick review of the documents presented on the control terminal screen, Lu Zhou gradually converged his rash expression on his face, and a trace of seriousness appeared in his expression.

Even a touch of surprise.

“…… It's kind of interesting. "
