Son of the Stars

Chapter 77 Accidental Discovery
The green smoke, which was so faint that it was almost unrecognizable, was blown by the violent fan, and suddenly it fell into the deep pool like tears, and the water entered the raging waves-it disappeared completely.

Lu Chen made friends with several non-commissioned officers, and tried to find some data that could make him feel at ease from the seemingly complicated control panel in front of them.

The "quality of incinerated materials" in the two incinerators is currently about 10 kilograms in total.The furnace temperature was further increased, and the last four oxygen injection ports were opened.

"After the stove is turned on, some things like glass beads may come out." A non-commissioned officer with wrinkles on his face said to Lu Chen, "Although we have never burned people before, we have burned pigs that have been experimented with. ——That thing has a lot of oil, but it also produces a lot of beads."

Another non-commissioned officer added, "We used to call those beads relics, but then the head of the regiment asked us to change the name - directly calling them relics may make some people feel uncomfortable."

Burning Watanabe's body was a very important job, but not the "only" one.

Under the leadership of the non-commissioned officer and the captain, the soldiers of the engineering battalion were carefully studying the strange huge machine that was mostly exposed from the "tunnel".

From the appearance details alone, this machine is definitely a product of pure hand-made - the solder joints are crooked, the rivets are of different sizes, and there are obviously missing gaskets under the screws in several places, or they are simply cut from metal plates. Too much when cutting.

Even the hems are curved.

To sum up, from the outside, this is a huge machine completely cut, bent, welded and riveted by hand.

This kind of machine built by hand is the most dangerous thing, especially when the maker is likely to be a cultist, the risk factor will skyrocket.Even if the engineers are well-informed, even if this non-commissioned officer is a professional with an applied master's degree in automation from Central University.

"The more this is the case, the more careful we must be." The second-rank non-commissioned officer surnamed Selldorf said loudly to the other engineers, "The norms, principles and taboos of mechanical manufacturing and operation that we are accustomed to, are far from religious extremes. In the eyes of the molecules, they are all things that don’t need to be paid much attention to.”

"The position of the accelerator and the brake may be reversed at any time, and the handbrake may be pulled up before it is put down." Sergeant Seldorf has obviously experienced some tragic experiences that young soldiers have not only never heard of, but even dare not even think about. .This also makes his explanation very convincing, "You have to remember, the first reaction when encountering this kind of equipment must be to check, check, and check again!"

Second-rank Sergeant Selldorf was lecturing, while the soldiers of the reconnaissance company held their guns and slowly entered the tunnel with a sense of tension and vigilance as if they were stepping into hell.

After walking about 20 meters inward along the "soil cave" full of loose soil, the environment is completely different.The white polymer materials propped up a rather spacious tunnel underground, but they are not like the luminescent polymer materials that have been common in the past 20 years, which can emit soft light.

The Scouts were able to determine that the thing wouldn't emit light, mainly because there were still a few lights hanging from the ceiling--they were still working.

Although it is not known where the electricity came from, there is no doubt that this man-made structure is still able to maintain basic functions.This means that there are likely to be cult members around, and they are also running the place very well-even maintaining the power supply.

Power supply is a very serious and complex systematic project, from power generation to power transmission, from power distribution to power consumption.Every content here requires experienced professionals, sufficiently advanced and sophisticated equipment, as well as a lot of resources and space to be piled up.And a strange building hidden underground near the North American Research Institute, no matter how you think about it, it can't have so many conditions at the same time.

An abnormality means that a high degree of vigilance is required.After seeing that the surrounding lighting system was still powered, the scouts of the regiment's reconnaissance company quickly reported the discovery to their superiors, and suggested that all personnel from the North American Research Institute be withdrawn.

To put it mildly, there may be a geothermal generator in the ground that is continuously functioning.Then the strange earthquake that just happened may damage the functional cycle of the geothermal generator.Depending on the location of the geothermal generator, as well as the source of the geothermal heat and the depth relationship, there is a risk of geological activity beneath this facility.

If you guess too big, it is possible for this underground facility to be equipped with a small nuclear reactor.

Due to the shadow of the nuclear accident in the Mediterranean region, all the nuclear power plants developed and operated by the coalition government are very safe thorium-based molten salt reactors.The biggest feature of this kind of reactor is safety - without the limitation of high-pressure vessels, thorium-based molten salt reactors can perfectly meet the needs of light weight, miniaturization and low-cost operation.

However, the technology of thorium-based molten salt reactors is unlikely to be reproduced by cultists—tens of tons of molten salt have to be transported in from the outside world, and then they have to make their own high-temperature molten salt pumps that are strictly controlled...With that ability, transport It may be more efficient to point bombs.

This area looks more like some long-hidden, high-level research base built before the Great Crash.

"There are two directions in the passage, and three rows are built to guard the opposite direction. One row and two rows are conducting firepower investigation." The company commander of the reconnaissance company issued an order, and he walked forward with a short assault rifle, "The front row Take an attacking formation and pay attention to covering each other!"
-
Standing next to the incinerator and "watching" Watanabe off, Lu Chen stretched a little guilty. The operation of the incinerator has been normal up to now - nothing special can be seen at all.

It couldn't be that his own judgment was wrong, so that Watanabe lost his body and could only become a vengeful spirit trapped in the brain of the tank, right?
The current Lu Chen is indeed like a young girl who has finally met after a long distance relationship, afraid that he will not come or that he will mess around.He is really unstable without energy release, but the energy release is too sudden to cause problems, and he can't stand it.

Just as he was struggling, a few engineering soldiers came over carrying a scorched object, yelling.

The content of yelling is mainly concentrated on: "Fuck, it's a little slippery... I can't hold it!" "Why does this thing feel a little soft?" and "This can't really be a person?"

After seeing the non-commissioned officer behind Lu Chen, a few enthusiastic engineers finally found the backbone, "Sir, we found such a thing in front of that strange machine—it seems to be a person, maybe he died not long ago!"

After hearing this sentence, the non-commissioned officers and captains hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Chen, who was standing beside him, became anxious first.After all, as a doctor, saving lives is his occupational disease.

Soon, Lu Chen found desperately that there was almost no way for the deceased to be healed—his body was almost completely carbonized, and even his body completely lost the elasticity it should have.

But in despair, there is always a strange hope.When Lu Chen was kneeling on the ground to check the injury, he did feel a little pulsation from the neck of this "human body".

Although very feeble and unlikely to be alive, the body probably has a very limited ability to circulate.

If it was in the past, Lu Chen might have given up directly - even if this kind of patient is rescued by force, it seems that there is no future or future.A patient who dies offline without any hope of recovery is really no different from a dead person.

But it's different now - since there is already a Watanabe in the world, wouldn't it be okay to find a partner for Watanabe?

Lu Chen quickly called these engineers, and dragged this human-like figure towards the medical room.

In order to save people, Lu Chen decided to chop off the guy's head first.
