Chapter 26 Energy Supply Equipment
"Hahahaha, this look is so funny." The dwarf's unscrupulous laughter was earth-shattering. "Look at my current appearance, do I look like a child wearing adult clothes?"

"It's not like that, he just looks like an idiot who has never seen the world." The halfling's evaluation was very pertinent and expressed everyone's feelings.

But to be fair, this is just prejudice. In fact, dwarves, no, it should be said, in fact everyone looks ridiculous.

In the locker room, everyone put on the protective clothing in the closet. Although it had not been changed for decades, the clothes were actually well preserved due to the thin air in the sealed closet. After Shuer and Mia Several experiments, although the effect is not as good as the curse protection barrier, but it can indeed fully protect the internal creatures from the curse.

The problem is that this outfit is so ugly.

A set of protective clothing was worn loosely on the body. The excess fabric from the belly area hung down to the thighs. The clothing on the legs was also a few times too big. With a figure like Sapph or an elf mage, it would still fit two legs into one trouser leg. If you put on this suit of clothes, a large part of your trousers will be dragged on the ground, like several walking mops.

The lower body is loose, but the upper body is different. The area above the belly feels tighter and tighter, especially on the two arms. The clothes are tightly stretched on the arms, which makes everyone worried that if they do a little strenuous activity, they will Bursting his clothes exposes himself to the curse, not to mention a certain necromancer who may burst his clothes even if he doesn't move a certain part violently.

Whether the clothes are ugly or not is secondary. The ugliest thing is the helmet. The lower part of the helmet is connected to the clothes and has a huge opening. For some women, the opening at the neck is almost as wide as their shoulders.The round helmet is transparent, and the helmet is larger than the body. You can clearly see the tangle on everyone's face. It must take a lot of courage to put on this outfit.

"In the name of the Dark Moon, I grant you blessings for your soul." Shuer drew complex sacred words on Safu's round helmet, and finally ended his blessing to the last person on his forehead.The sacred energy surrounding Saff suddenly converged inward, completely disappearing into the female swordsman's body.

The protective curse barrier is indeed useful for cursed metals, but using it on seven people at the same time will consume a lot of money, even with Xiure's talent.We can only rely on clothes to fight the curse as we are now. Once the clothes are damaged and the curse affects the body, the pre-released barrier spell will be activated. This is the longest way to support it.

"Hahaha, it is indeed a suit for a frog. It looks very similar to the one in the picture album." The dwarf patted the transparent shield on his head, as curious as a child.

"Idiot, shut up." The halfling was the one who felt the most uncomfortable. This suit of clothes was too big for him. The helmet could cover half of his body. A pair of trouser legs was more than one meter long and could be stuffed into it. His whole body.This was so unfriendly to the halfling that he could only hold up his helmet with both hands, and his bloated clothes were dragged behind him. The child the dwarf mentioned before was the most suitable to describe him.

"Haha, now I am finally more flexible than you, idiot halfling, hahahaha, be envious, I jump, I jump...stab."

A protective suit that is strong for a frogman is as fragile as a piece of paper for a shadow chaser.Looking at the hammer that Xiuer was hammering in his palm and his half-smiling expression, the dwarf finally wisely shut his mouth and changed into a protective suit as quickly as possible. As a result, the world finally became peaceful.

After leaving the locker room, everyone has begun to sense the curse's energy, but it is still very weak here. If the stay is not long, exposure to the environment is acceptable even without wearing protective clothing.

As soon as you step outside, you can tell the difference between the inside of the room and the outside.

The city has been in silence, as quiet as the afterlife. Apart from the sounds made by its own people, the only sounds coming from the city are the low buzzing sounds from a few devices on the road.However, here, many machines make regular beeping sounds, like some kind of notification sound, indicating the normal operation of the equipment.

"Macajron, it's your turn now. You are an expert in mechanics. You can handle everything from picking locks and dismantling traps to the puppet colossus. Try to find a way to restore the energy supply."

"Of course, of course, I am the most professional. There is nothing more reliable than the dexterous hand of a halfling. Although the principles of the machinery here are different, there is not much difference in essence. As long as it is not completely damaged, I can repair it. Let me show you, hey hey hey, look at mine."

Halflings love to brag, but to be regarded as an expert in a certain field by their teammates and to be recruited into the Shadow Chaser team by Shuuer is definitely not achieved by bragging. It relies on real technology and the true ability to control machinery. technology.

"Don't worry about the one on the right. Since Mia said that is the area where energy is distributed, it should still be functioning normally, at least part of it. You can think about it last. Now let's check the root cause of the problem, which is Devices for extracting and converting energy.”

Markajlen's performance lived up to his status as an expert. He knew what he was doing as soon as he scanned the corridor with his two little eyes.

"Go to the right front first. Shuer, didn't you and Mia say that there is energy flowing out there? At least the energy supply equipment there can still work normally, and you can get a lot of intuitive information."

Indeed, many devices in the room on the right front are working normally.

This is a circular room. The most obvious thing in the middle is a huge cylindrical metal machine with a diameter of nearly five meters and a height of more than 20 meters. It is almost close to the top of the building. No wonder this building looks like this from the outside. The height is the highest, probably just to accommodate this device.

Around it, dozens of metal equipment were placed against the wall. Pipes as thick as a normal human wrist were connected to the metal cylinder from under the hard glass floor.Most of the devices flashed green lights that made people feel calm, or alternately flashed red and green lights. Only a few of them flashed red lights that were used as early warning in many worlds. "Don't worry about it. It won't affect energy production and transfer at first glance. Just ignore it." The halfling got closer to the huge cylinder and looked around it.

The cylinder is inlaid with several things that look like the glass planes we saw in the control room before. These glass planes are all lit, and they display a large number of curves of unknown meaning. The curves are constantly changing, and there are many more on them. Strange words appear.

"These should be the data representing the state of the machine, but it's hard to understand what they are, even if you understand them, you won't understand them. There is also this glass plane with a lot of text refreshed constantly. This should be the most important information. The words that appear are all green, er, ignore this red letter, skip it and it will disappear, and it will definitely not affect the key equipment. I found that, similar to our Pavatiga, green here often represents safety. "

The six people had been crowding around the halfling, like six studious students.But in fact, the six people were just vigilant for him. Although Shuer was very sure that there would be no enemies here, he did not lower the alert level to safe, which meant that he still had some estimates in his mind. Partners who have cooperated with him for many years Of course, everyone will cooperate to maintain the lowest alert posture, and act in groups to prevent any companion from being left alone.

"So? Since there is no problem with the equipment here, what intuitive information can we get?" Shuer looked at it more seriously. He was just writing down a few entries in his notebook. Although no one asked him what he was writing down, everyone Everyone knows that it must be something useful, maybe related to text cracking.

"So? So I at least know what a local power supply machine should look like when it's operating normally." Macajerun's furry fingers ran over several mechanical buttons, but he didn't press any of them. "Fortunately, it can still work." Otherwise, I really don’t know how to deal with it. Let’s go to the largest room opposite, where the key problem should be.”

That's exactly what happened, and the key problem lies in this room.

As soon as he entered, he found that the room was completely dark. There were no blinking lights and no beeps were heard. The only place that gave off a bright light was a small box with a green shimmer embedded in the wall under one side of the door. On the small box, there is a picture of an upright frog jumping towards the door. Although the pattern is simple, the meaning is very clear.

"Sasa, help me record it."

"Well, I know, these letters mean leave? This is the first word with a clear meaning."

"Leave, escape, or be safe. It should have several meanings, and it's not the first one. I have identified about ten words in the previous journey. Let's talk about this tonight. Macajerun, have you found the problem? ?”

"Huh, it's simply a shame, the biggest shame for a mechanical expert." The halfling looked like he had been greatly wronged and complained dissatisfiedly, "Boss, you must be dissatisfied that I laughed at you for not knowing mechanics. So you deliberately insulted me, right?"

"It seems that the problem has been discovered." Xiuer was too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense. "What do you mean, the problem is so simple that it makes you feel deeply shocked? Tsk, tsk, now that you have discovered my purpose, I will kill you. Can you please shut up?"

"Ahem, you see, the problem is already obvious." The halfling coughed a few times and wisely did not continue to pursue the issue that would lead to silence. "Beautiful Ms. Mirity and Mia, can you please..."

The unexplained request has been fulfilled. The sticky light ball and the ghost light technique appeared at the same time, making the room light up.

Compared with the next door, the arrangement of equipment in this room is not much different, but in terms of area, it is almost ten times larger.The key lies in the largest cylinder in the middle. The diameter of the cylinder equipment here is more than 20 meters, and the height reaches 80 meters, so that the building cannot accommodate it at all, and a deep hole must be dug downwards. space, allowing most of its body to be underground.

Not only has the cylinder become larger, but there are also more devices connected around it. In some locations, several machines with very similar shapes that should belong to the same type of equipment are placed together and jointly connected to the cylinder. As for the function, of course it is still impossible. Sure.

"Look, this is one of the energy supply equipment in the underground city. It is probably used together with the geothermal energy supply to play a auxiliary role." Macajerun pursed his lips towards the cylinder from a distance, "It is indeed There is a problem, but the problem is too simple.”

"What on earth is it?" Shuer urged with a frown.

"Uh, well, it's out of fuel."

　Let me make it clear that I have never visited a nuclear power plant or seen radioactive materials, so I have no idea what it is like inside.However, in theory, there must be a large reactor, a water-cooling pool, and all kinds of messy things. A small cave and a small room are definitely not enough.

　　However, pay attention to this but, this is not the earth, right?Their technology is unique, and we can’t stop them from having convenient small reactors.

　　So, please stop being picky about this issue. I will give you a rarely used reason: this is a different world and the Basic Law is not followed.
