Origin of Mars

Chapter 72 Invitation

When seeing this picture, Fang Liang couldn't use any words to describe the feeling in his heart.

I just felt a vague chill, like a slender poisonous snake wrapped around my heart, although it was small, it was deadly enough.

"Sir, after my analysis, the underground ruins have completely become a hotbed of these dark substances, and something unimaginable is being bred in it."

Zero said to Fang Liang.

Zero is paying attention to the information in this area all the time. It is located in a corner of the ascending network, like a grain of sand in a whole beach, very tiny, but Zero still has the ability to capture and lock it.

The transmission equipment in front of Harkui is transmitting the pictures taken by the drone to the research base thousands of miles away, and a senior research team is conducting real-time data analysis and collection.

These picture data appeared on Fang Liang's screen with a time difference of about a few seconds.

Fang Liang suddenly had a very strong idea.

He might need to send his forces to Blue Star, because Fang Liang felt a palpitating cold on this weird black tide.

That's not something they can block.

"Is there any more data?"

Fang Liang asked Zero.

"No, the drone has been destroyed by that deformed body. It seems to have evolved sensory capabilities. This is worth noting, sir."

This hidden detail cannot escape Zero's keen insight.

Fang Liang was horrified, it was true.

So far, three notable monstrosities have appeared on Bluestar.

From the huge and uncoordinated body proportions at the beginning, to the human figure that can run and kill later.

Rather than saying that they have been selecting suitable hosts, it is better to say that they are gradually understanding and adapting to this world.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown itself. Even for Fang Liang, his understanding of these strange creatures is only at the most basic level.

He had to do something about them.

"The monstrosity in the captivity. How's the research going on?"

Fang Liang called up the relevant data on the mask, and the screen turned along the trend, and came to the biological research room full of instruments, where the mechanical arms were moving back and forth, carrying out the work under the command.

A huge imprisoning device is located on one side of the research room, and the deformed body is rushing back and forth in the circular chamber. According to Zero, it has almost repeated this action during this period of time.

"I tested it with a trace amount of metal elements, and the concentration of the metal is directly proportional to the growth rate of the body. How much metal material it swallows will expand the corresponding body size index. As you can see, so far its It has almost doubled in size, but it is still within our control."

Rather than looking at a lot of cumbersome data reports, Fang Liang would rather listen to Zero's face-to-face analysis.

"What is the approximate state of our current military strength?"

Fang Liang suddenly fell into deep thought, and instead of answering Zero's words, he asked him another question.

The three machinery factories would continue to produce new types of ordnance robots every working day, and Fang Liang could see the reports from them all.

However, Fang Liang was not very clear about the specific information of these ordnance robots.

"At present, our ordnance robots use a series of agility robots such as Bloodmaw and Gray Abyss as the first assault force. They have extremely fast speed and melee attack capabilities, and then there are heavy ordnance equipped with advanced long-range weapons. Robots, their ability is mainly to strike across the battlefield, and they have extremely precise bombardment capabilities, and I have sent you a video of a simulation exercise before."

Zero thought for a while and replied.

"The overall number is about two hundred, and the number of assault ordnance robots is slightly more. We are constantly improving and perfecting them, and they have reached the third version."

"it is good."

Fang Liang nodded slightly.

The bold idea in Fang Liang's mind was to send some of the ordnance robots to Blue Star.

They can deal with these deformities with an absolutely crushing attitude, but this idea involves too many problems, and it is not something that a group of people can solve in a while.

The first is the transportation equipment. Fang Liang has not yet produced large-scale equipment that can transport robots across planets, such as magnificent giant vehicles such as interstellar warships.

What's more, Fang Liang couldn't think of a more complete solution to Blue Star's negotiation problem even though he racked his brains.

If they face to face with the highest command of Blue Star, it means that the alien civilization where Fang Liang lives is completely willing to let go of their attitude and negotiate with the human civilization on Blue Star.

Fang Liang didn't care about this.

It's just that there are many countries on Blue Planet, and he doesn't want them to think that this alien civilization on Mars is someone who can be fooled with just a few words.

At that time, landers and manned rockets will rush to Mars one after another. This is not the scene Fang Liang wants to see.

He wanted to keep this mechanical city absolutely clean and pure.

It is love to help you, and it is duty not to help you.

For this sentence, Fang Liang has already understood very thoroughly.

"No hurry, let me think again."

Fang Liang touched his forehead, took a deep breath, and said to Ling.

These plans have to wait for the blueprints of the second stage to be completely manufactured.

That is, the dome shield, and the ion transport device directly to outer space.

All plans must be based on the operation of this transportation equipment, so that Fang Liang can reach another level, that is, outer space, and revitalize the development of the origin base.

"Okay, sir."

Zero said softly: "I hope you pay attention to rest."

While Fang Liang and Ling were having an intimate conversation, Chen Ze and Lin Changsu, who shuttled back and forth in the origin base, were like bumpkins in a big city, with straight eyes, staring at a strange building that had never been seen before, with a smooth metal surface Reflecting the shocked faces of the two.

"what is that?"

Chen Ze suddenly pointed to a few extremely tall buildings not far away, and asked Lin Changsu.

"Some kind of tower building. Probably came to smelt ore."

Lin Changsu wasn't sure what he thought, because everything here was an unprecedented new experience for them.

This strange feeling made him feel a burst of tingling excitement.

I have successfully integrated into this magnificent city of machinery. Countless fine dust is floating in the air, covering the city with a hazy texture. The silver-white metal surface reflects rays of light. Surrounded by these lights, different robots moved back and forth, shuttling around the two of them.

It's like a huge ocean, and the two of them are refugees who accidentally fell into this ocean.

Their information has been injected into these mechanical cities, temporarily possessing the ability to move freely.

These robots will not look at them with special eyes, because in their programming, these two strange-looking guys have become their own companions.

The minds of the robots that can only follow orders are very pure, they only obey the instructions sent by the master brains one by one, and execute them unconditionally.

Unless there is a system failure, they will always follow this path.

The origin base is constantly evolving at a certain slow speed, and its evolution is also driving all the robots to be constantly updated.

The behavior of these robots became more and more natural and smooth, as if the parts connecting the torso were not made up of cold bearings, but composed of flesh and blood.

If the relevant experts on Blue Star were to observe these robots up close, they would definitely suspect that they had entered a mechanical-themed amusement park played by real people.

In fact, the transformation of these mechanical creatures has been proceeding according to certain specific forms, and this form is more like imitating Fang Liang's shape.

Or from some perspectives, the human torso structure is the optimal solution obtained through countless calculations and analysis.

Lin Changsu met the curious eyes of an industrial robot, and even naturally raised his arm to wave at it. To his surprise, the industrial robot put down the several pieces of ore in his hand and waved at him. Waving the slender and clean mechanical arm, the two pupils emitted a gentle light, and immediately picked up the ore on the ground, and moved forward along the planned road again.

"It's amazing, isn't it?"

There are not many robots in this area, and it looks very empty. Looking at the back of this robot going away, Lin Changsu couldn't help but sigh with emotion to Chen Ze.

"Indeed, I never dreamed that one day I would be able to hang out in an alien base."

Chen Ze also smiled and shook his head, taking pictures of the surroundings with the portable camera in his hand.

The camera device on their protective clothing was damaged for some reason, and several lines were broken, which made the transmission of images no longer possible.

Fortunately, the white robot directly brought the fire-picking spacecraft back to the base, allowing them to use the equipment on the spacecraft again. The large nuclear power supply is sufficient to supply most of the equipment of the spacecraft to continue to operate stably.

Lin Changsu didn't know when the camera device was damaged. He could only record the complete journey after they arrived on the surface of Mars through the communication equipment on the Shihuo, and sent it back to the AIM headquarters.

Afterwards, after resting for a while in this area that can be called the rest room, Lin Changsu boldly took a bite of a fist-shaped diamond-shaped fruit.

The surface of this fruit is densely packed with vertical sections, which looks like a very irregular polygon. Lin Changsu originally thought that its taste would be very hard, but on the contrary, the peel is very fragile, and the next second, fresh juice gushed out his mouth , the texture of the pulp is like kiwi fruit, very sweet, which made Lin Changsu wake up instantly.

Seeing Lin Changsu's stunned expression, Chen Ze raised his eyebrows, took a purple diamond-shaped fruit, and took a bite of it.

"It's like the mulberries I ate when I was a child, except that it has more juice."

Chen Ze gave a very pertinent evaluation, and the two of them took a big gulp after gulp, and immediately wiped out the apple-sized fruit.

It's unbelievable that they actually managed to grow crops on the surface of Mars.

With the sweet taste still in his mouth, Lin Changsu couldn't help sighing and sighing as he looked at the dazzling array of fruits.

They originally thought that the origin of these fruits was not well intentioned, and they might even be the product of experimental products.

After figuring out the thinking of this alien civilization, Lin Changsu even felt that they were feeding them in a strange way intentionally or unintentionally.

The more he has been in contact, Lin Changsu is now a little numb, and the shock is gradually disappearing, just as he saw these three huge towers, their internal structure seems to be very strange, as if there are countless strands of wires that are breathing out As bright as light, these silk threads are entangled into an extremely dense bundle, swimming in the gap like a snake.

It wasn't until he walked in that Lin Changsu heard a continuous sound of electricity reverberating in this area.

And these hissing sounds came from these three towers. They are the tallest buildings in this base, and there are no other buildings around them. They seem to be three noble old men standing on a flat ground. metal ground.

Just when Lin Changsu wanted to get closer, a robot passing by suddenly stretched out its slender mechanical hand and stopped in front of him abruptly.

The footsteps of the two of them subconsciously froze. This tall robot was casting slightly fluctuating gazes at them. Without saying a word, Lin Changsu could still see a strong sense of negation in its light blue pupils. meaning.

Pulling Chen Ze's body, Lin Changsu quickly stepped back a few steps, and the robot's mechanical arm also retracted. After glancing at the two of them, he moved forward again. The tracks crushed the stones, making a slight sound, but It was still instantly covered by the continuous electromagnetic sound.

"This seems to be a restricted area."

Chen Ze licked his lips, retreated to a safe area, left under the three towers, suddenly looked around, carefully raised the camera in his hand, enlarged the screen, and recorded this magnificent scene.

"You're crazy~"

Lin Changsu trembled all over, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop Chen Ze's actions, and said softly and hastily.

"Photography is allowed, I've understood that."

Chen Ze pouted at another passing robot in front of him, waved the camera in his hand, and said to Lin Changsu.

Indeed, the robot didn't seem to see the movements of the two of them, and continued to move forward on its own, treating Chen Ze and Lin Changsu as two lumps of air.

"Look at that border."

Chen Ze suddenly pointed to a trace in front of him, "As long as you don't cross this border, enter the area under these three towers. Didn't you find that there is no path for these robots to pass within this border?"

Lin Changsu looked in the direction Chen Ze pointed at, and it was indeed a border, just the junction of two metal floors.

At this moment, within the sight of the two, light flickered, and the smooth surface of a metal building flashed and turned into a transparent screen, on which Zero's figure appeared.

"Two friends, please come to the Mechanical Research Center."
