American Celestial Master

Chapter 244, Reconnaissance 3
According to the analysis and comparison of the currently available data, this restricted area should be some kind of negative area in nature, probably the undead and the like. Generally speaking, when conducting reconnaissance activities in a restricted area created by such mysterious forces, School Although any observation is a disturbance, pure technological means will cause less disturbance to such restricted areas.

Therefore, the superheroes should not be allowed to recycle those sub-detection units, because this is likely to cause unnecessary disturbance. The best thing is to let AI-controlled robots do it. But things like this are so expensive these days that even the New York National Guard doesn't have many of them. After all, in the United States, a handcart costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and after the significant reduction in international trade, this price has increased several times.

So now only those sub-detection units that are very close to the restricted area will use AI robots to recover, and the others can only be recovered manually.

Regardless of whether it is manual recycling or AI robot recycling, the time chosen is always at noon. This is also the time when the fog in the restricted area is the weakest, which is beneficial to both humans and robots.

Wang Hong and others took a group of soldiers and some technicians to the outside of the restricted area in four Chinooks. The helicopter descended slowly, and dozens of people, several dogs, and related equipment were put down.

Someone originally suggested that we simply use military dogs to find them. However, experiments have shown that military dogs are full of fear of the fog that permeates the restricted area. If they are not accompanied by a trainer, they will not dare to approach at all. Even so, military dogs cannot penetrate deep into the fog. If they penetrate any deeper, they will be unable to work due to fear.

Fortunately, most of the peripheral sub-detection units are still intact, and the GPS positioning system carried on them is still working. The staff can easily find them. The mission of the military dogs is only to find those damaged ones in the periphery, but it may also A sub-detection unit that records some information.

As usual, Huang Yin caught the wind, smelled it, then nodded and said, "No problem."

Others took action. Some soldiers walked in front with military dogs, and several four-legged AI robots produced by Boston Dynamics followed behind.

The fog was very thin at first, and the visibility was good. I could see fifty or sixty meters away. In addition, the signal of the navigation equipment carried by the soldiers was also very good, so the collection work went quickly. However, as the outermost sub-detection unit was collected, the fog began to thicken further inside. Moreover, the military dogs were not willing to cooperate with the work. Each of them held their tails between their legs and whined in their mouths. They tried to retreat back regardless of the trainer's instructions. Some even bite the trainer's pants and try their best to
Drag the trainer outside.

As soon as this situation occurred, everyone became nervous, the soldiers stopped, and their bullets were loaded. A captain leading the team whispered a request for retreat to the rear through the microphone.

"There's nothing in front of them," Huang Yin said.

"Let them come back," Wang Hong said. "They only get a little more money every month. After coming so far, they are already worthy of the state government."

As a result, the soldiers began to retreat, while Boston Dynamics' four-legged walking AI robot continued to move forward. This kind of AI robot has the ability to perform tasks independently without signal control, and its four-legged walking method ensures its off-road maneuverability. Therefore, although this thing is very expensive, it is indispensable, at least compared to the high price. The cart is much stronger.

All the people and military dogs successfully retreated to the starting point outside the restricted area. Now only the AI ​​robots continued to search in the fog. Soon they entered a position that even Huang Yin could not see. "Time is running out. Although the Yang Qi is still strong, I can already feel the Yin Qi rising - the fog is starting to thicken. It's time for those robot dogs to come back," Wang Hong said.

"Anyway, if they haven't come back by the time, we will report that they have been lost - this is completely within the plan." said an officer who accompanied us.

"The robots are already returning." A technician said, "We can still connect to them and know their locations. Although we cannot know the situation there in detail due to interference, we are aware that they are returning. Still know.”

While talking, an AI robot appeared in the distance.

In the evening, all kinds of data were compiled and sent to X school.

"Academician Mao, have you seen anything similar?" Lin Qiusheng asked, looking at the things captured by the sub-detection unit.

"I've seen it before. It's just a regular undead spirit." Dongyue Shangqing Siming Zhenjun said, "Don't be fooled by its appearance. It's just a superficial distortion."

"Surface distortion?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"The power of the undead, or the various feminine powers, are essentially derived from darkness and mystery. Well, on the side of the Lord of Hosts, in Calvinist teachings, this power is explained as 'the light is not there', It is not regarded as a separate force, but is regarded as some kind of 'shadow'. However, in dualistic religions, such as our Taoism or Zoroastrianism, it is regarded as a shadow. A unique, independent power... Ah, maybe I'm going too far. After all, these are just hypotheses. Neither we nor Calvin lack key evidence.

Well, let's get back to this. Calvin is right about at least one thing, that is, this kind of power corresponds to 'light' or positive power, which is hidden in the so-called 'shadow'. The earth is the thing that can best provide 'shadow', 'darkness and mystery'. Regardless of the undead there, their roots can only be the native earth. But the display can be distorted. The energy is there, and civilization gives it a way to manifest itself. And the original ways of this continent are imperfect and mostly forgotten, so its presentation is bound to bring foreign distortions - do you know what I mean? "

"I understand," Lin Qiusheng said, "just like the Headless Horseman I met who gave me an axe. Although in form, the Headless Horseman and the Nightmare are both European monsters, but that is just a distortion. However, fundamentally speaking, expression is essence, and essence is expression. So even if the European shell is borrowed, this expression is definitely different from the European one. It’s Xi Shi.”
