The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Engineer No. 1 stopped when he heard the sound and turned to look at Li Meng behind him.

Today's weather is good, dark clouds, although the cold wind is howling, but the wind is small, even the snowflakes cannot blow.

Slightly bowing his head, Li Meng glanced at the end of the street in front of him, and then turned and walked in the direction he came.

This place is far away from Qing'an City, there are no exotic animals, only thick snow, which makes the town seem very quiet.

Although it is safe, it is not suitable for human habitation, and the reason, of course, is the lack of resources.

Although small towns away from cities are safe, they have limited resources and can be inhabited for a short time, but over time, when resources are exhausted, they have to go to urban areas with more resources.

In the past month or so, Li Meng has not encountered any humans, and there is no trace of humans on the snow.

The biggest feeling of the entire white ice and snow world to Li Meng is "desolate", everything is frozen, everything is buried under the snow, which is a lonely world.

On the white snow track, two figures, one big and one small, gradually drifted away under the embrace of a group of mechanical spiders...

Under the guidance of the map, more than ten kilometers away, less than four hours, Li Meng and engineer No. 1 rushed to the vicinity of their destination.

At some point, the buildings that could be seen everywhere had disappeared, and the surrounding area was white, and the earth was undulating.

In the east, in the dim world, you can see a mountain, not far away, just a few kilometers away.

It is like a mountain range, mountains are connected to mountains, there is no green on the mountain, only white snow, and it looks towering from afar.

Just one place in the mountain range, two mountains are not connected, and a huge gap appears, which looks like a canyon from a distance, and when you look deeper, you can see the slope of the mountain on one side.

Visually, the width of the gap is more than two miles.

The two continued forward, walking no more than a few miles, and successfully found the river leading to the mountains.

It is a river channel about 100 meters wide, with narrower places and wider places.

The river meanders across the earth and reaches deep into the mountains.

Surrounded by mechanical spiders, the two walked quickly on the river.

The snow on the surface of the river was very deep, and when they stepped on it, their calves were about to be buried, which slowed down the speed of the two of them a lot.

"Number one, how do you see the canyon ahead? There should be a small basin inside, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is enough space.

On the river, Li Meng asked Engineer No. 1 next to him as he walked.

Hearing this, Engineer No. 1 looked up at the mouth of the canyon in front of him, and in the round helmet, No. 1's thick voice sounded.

"It can be used as a place to build a city, which can block humans and foreign beasts."

To Engineer No. 1's words, Li Meng said indifferently: "No problem, it is enough to be able to block humans, alien beasts can even climb vertical walls, and it is unrealistic to want to block alien beasts with only high walls." "

Yes, this is very unrealistic, the high wall can only delay the footsteps of the alien beast, so that the weapons on the high wall have more time to kill the alien beast, why the mobile fortress is built so high, it is not for nothing.

On the river, the two continued to move on....

They followed the river all the way, but in just an hour, the two came to the mouth of the canyon.

Walking on the river channel between the canyons, Li Meng looked up at the mountains on both sides.

The mountain is not steep and slopes upwards to the top....

Looking ahead, a mile away, the distance between the mountains on both sides is getting farther and farther, the space on both sides is getting bigger and bigger, and the farther away is already a white expanse, and the mountains can no longer be seen on both sides.

Without stopping, the two continued to move forward, deep into the canyon.

After walking for only a few miles, at this time, the mountains on both sides were already far, far away, and at a glance, only one outline could be seen.

The land on both sides of the river is not flat, the snowfield is undulating, continuous, and there is no earth, only a frozen forest buried by snow, and Li Meng's eyes are reflected in a natural snowy scene.

Although beautiful, although quiet, but a beautiful view of nature, this is not what Li Meng wants, nor is it the purpose of Li Meng's coming here.

He took out a surface sensing rod from his waist, twisted it, and Li Meng threw it hard, and the surface sensing rod came out of his hand, spanning a distance of 100 meters, and plunged headlong into the snow on the river.

Meanwhile, on the map page, the gray area is lit up again.

This is a canyon similar to the shape of a gourd, and it is not correct to say that it is a canyon, because the internal basin is not small, according to the ratio on the map of Hui'an Province, the diameter of the basin is less than fifty kilometers.

Li Meng has gone several kilometers deep into the valley entrance, but there is still a long way to go from Xiping Lake in the basin, this distance will not be less than ten kilometers, or even farther, you can imagine how large the area of this basin is.

On the surface of the river, two steel bodies, one large and one small, stopped.

"How is it here?"

Faced with the commander's inquiry, Engineer No. 1 glanced around and said affirmatively: "A good place, this is far enough from the city, the strong electromagnetic force will not be perceived by foreign beasts, commander, the relevant engineering mechanical units have been designed, please name..."

A few days earlier, Li Meng asked Engineer No. 1 to design several types of construction machinery to build a "home."

It was just a casual remark, not an order, but I didn't expect Engineer No. 1 to remember his words.

Although with the computing power and knowledge of Engineer No. 1, what kind of mechanical unit can be designed in an instant, the non-command execution design shows that Engineer No. 1 has strong autonomy.

With a thought, Li Meng opened the item page.

On the last page, Li Meng finds two new mechanical classes.

One is smaller, about five meters tall, with legs, hands, and standing on both feet, resembling a human, but more bloated.

Why it is a human form, Li Meng does not know, but this design should be considered for applicability.

The humanoid machine can be used as a platform to change the corresponding equipment according to the needs, cutting, welding, building, what kind of work can be competent, bipedal walking can also adapt to any terrain, can come and go freely in the snow.

Kind of like people....

After thinking about it, Li Meng said: "In 2020, let's name it "Engineering Guard". "

Guard, soldier defending the homeland, guard is defense, and soldier is man, it has a human-like appearance, and the name fits it well.

"Named, information updated..." As

the voice of 2020 fell, the name on the item page changed to Engineering Guard.

Li Meng looked at the second mechanical class.

This is a big fellow, the height should be more than 100 meters, there are feet, hands, head, more body, like a human, just similar, the whole body looks very slender, Li Meng is very skeptical how it stands, will not fall?
