Chapter 81 Finding Clues
But of course it is impossible to really go home.

Chi Heng checked the time, it was close to 12 o'clock, and he still had 3 hours to search for clues.

In order not to waste time, he took out a biscuit and ate a couple of casual bites, drank a bottle of mineral water, and started working...

He installed the hand-held metal detector he bought from Boston, and the "broken copper and iron" is responsible for detecting abnormal infrared features. If there are a lot of abnormal infrared features, there may be clues.

It's a pity that "Battered Copper and Iron" scanned the surrounding area and said to Chi Heng: "Sir, Junk didn't find anything unusual."

"Ah."

The more you are disappointed, the harder it is to be disappointed.

In other words, Chi Heng didn't have much hope at first.

Since I don't hold too much disappointment, I have to be mentally prepared to face this situation.

But often times, when there is another village, when Chi Heng is mentally preparing for failure, things turn around again.

The metal detector in his hand beeped, indicating that there were metal objects on the ground he had just swept.

"what?"

Chi Heng immediately got down on the ground, the ground was normal, it was very common basalt rock, but when he hit it with an engineering shovel, the basalt rock on the surface immediately shattered, exposing the hidden metal underneath.

"really have?"

Chi Heng became excited. He was already disappointed, but he didn't expect to have new clues in the turn of events. He immediately used the engineering shovel to break open the basalt here.

The basalt on the surface of this metal object is obviously only used for camouflage. After he smashed it, the "clues" below are constantly showing up. After cleaning up all the basalt, what he saw was a circle with a diameter of more than 3 meters. shaped metal plate.

"This is?"

Chi Heng stood up, staring at the circular metal plate and couldn't help feeling a little distracted. Could it be a missile silo?It looks too much alike.

"Sir, it seems that this place can be opened?"

"Battered copper and iron" squatted down, grabbed one of the handles with its mechanical claws, and lifted it up, but it didn't move, but it could barely rotate when it turned clockwise. It didn't know how long it hadn't been maintained, and it creaked when it rotated. When the metal plate rotates clockwise, the other half surface is revealed. Obviously, the bottom surface of the metal plate body is provided with a rotating shaft vertical to the body. When it rotates, it will drive the other half of the metal plate to rotate at the same time.

As a result, an empty vertical passage appeared within Chi Heng's line of sight.

Just looking at such a vertical passage, he couldn't help but think of the shaft found in the utility room...

They are indeed too similar to each other, with the same vertical passage and the same metal stairway, but the shaft in the utility room does not have such an exaggerated diameter.

"Sir, this is a lead plate."

The "broken copper and rotten iron" on the side suddenly spoke.

The underside of the metal plate is an oxidized dark gray and becomes painted, and the lead plate has the same characteristics.

"stereotype?"

Chi Heng was startled, and carefully identified it: "It's very thick, wait, is this the measure recorded in the notes...to defend against 'UFO'?"

He remembered that he said in his notes that the most reliable way to defend against "UFOs" is a fully enclosed lead sheet material, but he couldn't modify the fully enclosed lead sheet of the rover, so he could only use sleeping pills to deal with it.

"In this case, there is no need to worry about the threat of 'UFO' in the research base."

This is in line with his previous guess. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in the research base rely on sleeping pills every day?That's too prone to accidents.

Taking out the flashlight, Chi Heng shone down on the vertical passage. To his surprise, it wasn't that deep, only about ten meters deep. That is to say, it didn't lead to the inside of the research base?

Whether it is the passage leading to the interior of the research base or not, you have to go in and check it. Chi Heng checked his watch. At 13:02 in the afternoon, it took him a lot of time to clean up the basalt.

"Sir, let Junk go down and have a look first."

"Battered copper and rotten iron" volunteered.

Chi Heng nodded, "Be careful."

Since meeting the humanoid monster at the edge of the bottomless pit last time, Chi Heng came to "Extreme Realm". Not only did he have to carry the "Red Dragon", but he also handed over the shotgun M590 to "Battered Copper and Iron". I ran to buy several boxes of shotgun shells again, because I was afraid that the bullets would not be enough.

"Battered copper and rotten iron" unloaded the heavy materials, lightened his body, grabbed the metal escalator and went down, and reached the "ground" in a short while.

"Sir, you can come down now, there is no danger here."

A few minutes later, the voice of "broken copper and iron" came from the intercom.

Chi Heng no longer hesitated, and followed.

Illuminating from above, the range of the flashlight is limited. After entering the inside, the scope of vision has expanded a lot. It is obvious that the surrounding space can be seen, as well as the dense metal mesh cable tray on the ceiling, and a large number of cables are deployed.

There are steel gratings under his feet, and the center of the room is a grating staircase, which surrounds the patio from the entrance. Chi Heng illuminates the patio with a flashlight, and it is impossible to see how deep it is. The passage to the base?"

He retracted the flashlight and looked at the side wall again. The four elevator doors seemed to prove that the grilled staircase just now should be only an emergency passage. If it leads to the research base, it is impossible for normal humans to climb the thousand meters by stairs. , Tired and exhausted.

The room is dark and dark, and the only light source is the red light on the elevator door. Chi Heng is not surprised. The rover can use nuclear batteries to supply power. As a research base, it is only natural to use nuclear battery arrays to supply power. There is no need to worry about electricity for a hundred years.

Chi Heng is not worried about the power problem, he is only worried about a little... Can the authority of the watch handle everything in the research base?
Considering that the watch has always been able to enable the corresponding permission settings, especially the start of the rover, it is also thanks to the watch, otherwise it would not be possible to start the rover.

"The watch specially left by my uncle should work, right?"

Chi Heng walked to the elevator and shone around with a flashlight. There was really no up and down button for the conventional elevator. There was only a corresponding screen. When his watch approached, the screen really activated and lit up, and a green Simplified Chinese character appeared. Draw a smiling face, then ticked the box, the red light above the elevator changed to a green light, and the elevator doors opened to both sides.

Chi Heng was taken aback by the soft white light inside and the clean and tidy elevator environment. He looked at his watch and breathed a sigh of relief. While he was relieved, he didn't go in immediately.

"Not in a hurry……"

Chi Heng took a few steps back.

He was extremely excited. He had been working hard for more than a month and a half to find this research base since he discovered the old uncle's notes. Get ready to work.

After all, they came up this time just to find clues, and didn't bring a lot of food, only enough to last a day.
