Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 267 Crossing the Door

"...No, these are all inexplicable tasks! Let's go back to the era of fish farming, okay? I promise to feed your carp big and fat!"

Despite such objections, Li Fan paid homage to the moon that night and came to help.After all, rail guns, there is no disbelief in the system, Li Fan simply wants to see the market.

Opening his eyes this time, Li Fan found himself standing on the surface of the spaceship again.But it’s not the same ship. Last time, the ship was full of sci-fi style and shiny silver. This one looks a bit behind. The shell is made of alloy similar to legion armor. punk difference.

But seriously, can't you give him a seat?What's the matter with lying on the outside of the spaceship every time!Temporary workers have no human rights?
"The scout ship supporting you is the latest drone, but it doesn't have a driver's seat."

"This is a civilian ship that was transferred from the nearest place. When passing through the door, the public security system will check the video inside the ship. Let's just get off."

Before Li Fan could ask, the hatch in front of the hull opened, and a thin-legged spider drone popped up. The spider's eyes flickered, played a holographic image, and constructed a three-dimensional star map.

Mark the relative position of the rocky planet and the spacecraft in the stellar coordinate system.Then mark and scan out the mine pit on the surface of the rocky planet. On the parallel orbit of the mine pit, there is a satellite-like artificial celestial body.

Then the camera zooms in, and you can see the scanning analysis of this artificial satellite. The core is a circular sphere, and the periphery of the sphere is marked with multiple circular metal orbits. These orbits are staggered like a net covering the sphere. In addition, The flashes identified six nodes on the track, which were probably the forts. The estimated range was painted red, almost completely covering the large area of ​​space near the mine pit. It seemed that there was no dead zone for defense.

"This is the what, ODS cannon? Looks like a ball..."

"It's not an ODS gun, it's a low-Earth orbit gun with an ODS orbital defense system attached. Strictly speaking, it's an ETG, an improved magnetic rail electric heat gun. The core inside is artificial plasma, which is the reactor, and the outer coil is a bound magnetic field. Nodes The location is the plasma acceleration track, which is the fort."

"The reactor can charge the turret, and the ionized plasma on the surface can be used as projectiles, so the energy and ammunition of the turret can be regarded as endless."

"In addition to being used as a plasma cannon for defense, it can also blast the mine pit, or adjust the power, and remotely recharge the collection equipment in the mine pit. This should be the main purpose."

"And it comes with an independent ODS system. Although it is garbage eliminated in the previous generation, it is a military product after all. It used to be used to protect space colonies and orbital factories."

"These independent systems that are not online cannot be hacked from the Internet, and to a certain extent can resist long-range ECM interference. As long as a target enters the enemy's tracking range, it will be locked immediately to distinguish meteorites, spaceships, and mines. The attack trajectory of the shells will automatically shoot down all incoming threats."

Li Fan looked at the star map while listening, and couldn't help asking,

"But your equipment should be a little more advanced than the garbage of the previous generation, right?

The reconnaissance was so clear all the way, even where is the fort and where is the track.Why can't we get a laser cannon or something and shoot him directly? "

"That's why, our ship is a registered merchant ship, civilian grade VI, although there are nuclear warheads and ECM weapons obtained from the black market, but only civilian grade warhead launching vehicles."

"We call it a drone mine, and you can also understand it as a torpedo missile used in space warfare."

"The sub-light speed engine signal of civilian mines is too large, the recognition is too high, and the range and acceleration are also limited. For military systems, it is like a baseball thrown by a child. It can be intercepted in half a second."

"And the red space area marked does not refer to the effective range of the weapon, but the theoretical locking range of the previous generation ODS system in the database. In fact, it is only for reference. In case the Legion still installs a hidden radar station nearby, just borrow the ODS The system conducts enemy tracking and ballistic analysis, which can greatly increase the attack range of rail guns."

"We don't know how effective the Legion's radar is, whether it can be anti-stealth, but in short, no matter how stealthy it is, the greater the speed, the farther the distance, and the worse the stealth effect, the greater the chance of exposure. So the worst case is that we launch the first A batch of missiles were discovered and intercepted, and then our launch platform was also inversely calculated by the fire control radar. If it is fast, it will only take tens of seconds before and after, and it will be GG."

Li Fan was speechless, "Oh... that's it... no, what are you calling me here for? Do you think I can take more shots than the cruiser or something?"

"Yes. In theory you can take nine shots."

Fuck, Li Fan wants to go back.

"Don't worry don't worry, we've got it all planned."

The spider drone's eyes sparkled, and a bunch of lines appeared on the star map.

Li Fan looked at the highlighted part of the star map and zoomed in, "A meteorite?"

"Yes, the main function of the orbital gun is to clean up the surrounding celestial bodies and prevent the mining equipment from being damaged by meteorites. But even if the ammunition is unlimited, it is impossible to smash the meteorite too much. It is usually confirmed that the orbit of the meteorite deviates, or the quality of the fragments will not cause damage. , and the shooting will stop."

At this time, the front hull opened the hatch, revealing the quadruple vertical launching ports.

"We will use the drone mine to push the meteorite as a camouflage, enter the range, and pass by the orbital gun. During this period, we will explode once at a time, camouflage the illusion of meteorite splitting, and change the trajectory of some meteorites. You have to mix in this batch of meteorites and make a sudden landing. Go to the railgun."

"Although there are certain dangers, the Thousand Faces Dao body you are using now is only the size of a human body, and can only detect carbon elements. It will be ignored as star dust and will be burned if it falls into the atmosphere. The ODS system will not Shooting directly at you. Just be careful not to get hurt by the meteorite fragments around you."

By the way, Immortal with Thousand Faces...

Li Fan also realized at this time that he is still the black carbon human body of the Immortal with Thousand Faces, and the Taisu Tao body has many lives, and the rail gun will not directly attack him, so there is indeed a chance of winning, but ...

"Even if I suddenly descended onto the fort, what's the use? Did you tell me to tear down the fort by hand??"

This time the system was silent for a while, as if the two had discussed it, and finally spoke up.

"Li Fan, there are living people on the fort."

What the fuck?

At this time, the spider also marked the red dot on the rail turret.

"There was an omnic crisis in the last generation, so in order to prevent the artificial intelligence from rebelling again, there is an intelligent assistance like the system."

"The underlying code of the military-grade system is written to death, and the final instructions must be issued by the human brain. Therefore, the remote unmanned equipment can only support civilian use at most."

"That is to say, the host of the ODS system must be a living person, it may be an apostle of the legion, or it may be an illegal clone. It may even be a brainwashed citizen."

"In short, as long as you clear all the living creatures on the facility and confirm that the host is brain-dead, then the orbital turret will naturally lose its function."

"Don't worry, most of them are engineers, and there are a few mercenaries who have survived. Even if there is a Martian MM, you will have no difficulty in handling it."

That being said, it's really a small problem...

"Isn't that right, hurry up and ride on the mine, it's about to launch."

"Your charging lottery is full again, isn't it? Get this batch of goods, and we'll have some exciting guys for you to play with."

The two guys understood the reasoning and lured them for profit, so Li Fan also hesitantly walked to the vertical launch hatch and took a look at the mine.

It looks like a smaller spaceship, a survival pod, a shuttle, or something bigger than a truck, with only one engine and one warhead.

"...No, just ride it like this? Won't it be thrown off when you launch it?"

"Don't worry about it. We have studied this point. The Dao body of the Immortal with Thousand Faces is a bit strange. It can be regarded as a carbon-based nanorobot. Did you see that one of the warheads is black? It is a graphite material that was specially replaced. , you can escape through the earth, you can try to 'escape' into the warhead."

Hey, don't say it, it's really good!

...Gah, these tasks that I have done, even if I go out to brag and force myself to hear it, I think it is outrageous...

So Li Fan hid in the warhead, was carried by the mine, and launched through the spacecraft's ejection system.

These mines are also drones. According to the opportunity, first use electromagnetic ejection to launch, then accelerate carefully, take a maneuvering curve to hide the position of the spacecraft, go around behind the nearby meteorite, and then automatically pull and install it on the meteorite, pushing the meteorite as a camouflage variable On the rail, take Li Fan to attack the rail fort.

These remote operations are all done by the system, and Li Fan squatted in the warhead and waited.

But fortunately, their luck was not bad, and they didn't encounter the worst situation, that is, they were discovered as soon as they came up, and they were dropped in seconds.

"No hidden radar stations, no response at all, basically a win."

...this wins?
Li Fan was able to detect the mine before capturing the meteorite, and began to disassemble and assemble the engine with the assistance of the drone.

After talking a lot, the result is really a small problem?By the way, can't you also get some drones, robots, etc., to perform this sudden drop and beheading mission?

"Killer drones can be regarded as semi-military technology. They will have to go through the door to transport the ore away later. They must be connected to the public network. Once the drone is detected to have a record of obliterating life signals, it will trigger the mechanism and report to the police. Give the public safety system a review."

"If there are pirates carrying bounties among the members of the legion, maybe the security company's fleet will jump right over here. That's not courting death..."

"Yes, yes, we are law-abiding businessmen who love peace, how can we do things like killing and killing. Besides, we will be retaliated against if we offend the legion!"

Fuck... Anyway, the ones who take the blame for the dirty work are all temporary workers...

However, this task is really not difficult. Li Fan even gradually mastered the characteristics of this thousand-faced immortal body while waiting.

If what he used before was just a layer of 'skin', then now it's skin, bones, flesh and blood, all made up of black, gray, ink-like carbon.Li Fan has never changed this Taoist body that cost [-] points to exchange in the Tai Chi world.And to be honest, he didn't understand the composition of this body at all, and he didn't know how to change it. It was pulled to the system spaceship and automatically converted.Maybe it's some kind of agreement between the Immortal of Thousand Faces and the system?
When using this body, Li Fan's feeling is very subtle. He seems to be in the state of using escapism throughout the whole process, which is the cognition of time and space, which is very different from other people's bodies.He couldn't feel the speed and acceleration at all, as if he was walking in another different dimension, using some kind of third-person vision, manipulating his own black puppet like a marionette.

And the longer the time, the weaker the sense of time, as if alienated from the whole world, the whole universe, and the thoughts gradually change, as if listening to people talking drunkenly, and the information spreads like a thin layer of mist, which is unprecedented. The novel perception of...

"Ready! It's coming!"

The sound of the system seemed to come through a noisy water curtain.

Although there is a dark deep space in the distance, Li Fan can 'see' at the same time that there is a trace of ripple-like waves in the distant universe.Immediately afterwards, in the deep space, a blue star suddenly flashed.

The light only flickered for a moment, and in the next moment, the meteorite block burst silently, exploded into pieces, and stalled and shot randomly.

Li Fan walked out of the warhead and walked to the fragments of the meteorite where he was.

The fragments were spinning rapidly. If it was a normal person, they would already be dizzy and vomit.But Li Fan only felt very calm.Although the nebula and starlight spiraled and flashed in front of his eyes, he didn't feel dizzy at all, instead he felt that nothing had changed.

The order of the universe is stable, the Tao is the Tao, what mines, rail guns, plasmas, meteorites, these weapons can only change the instantaneous form of matter, but the rules of space, the order of time, the slightest bit No impact will be caused.

But he can influence.

So Li Fan didn't wait any longer, he stepped forward and took half a step.

The next instant, 'Li Fan' disappeared from the meteorite.

The next instant, the 'Thousand-Faced Immortal' appeared inside the railgun platform.

This is the equipment core room covered with wires. The pipelines and wires are inserted into the core alloy cabin. Inside the cabin is a cylindrical jar. In the green interstitial fluid, the brain and nerve tissue filled with pipelines are soaked. .

So the 'Thousand-faced Immortal' stretched out his hand, as if ignoring those alloy hatches, glass containers and pipelines, and held out the brain.After examining it carefully, he suddenly grinned and turned his head to smile at Li Fan.

Li Fan opened his eyes suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

But then he realized that he was not dreaming.

In this trance, he traveled an unknown number of kilometers between steps, and stood at a place that was roughly the core control room of the orbital battery.His hands were still wet, and he maintained the lifting posture, but there was nothing in his palms, and the container in front of him was already empty.

The brain in the vat was taken away by the Immortal with Thousand Faces.

"Li Fan! What happened just now!"

"Mood! Your mood has bottomed out! Think about something happy!"

What, mood?

Only now did Li Fan come back to his senses, well, he remembered eating octopus and cultivating before, and his mood was already full of 6k, but now he has directly dropped to the bottom, and has dropped to '0.1k/6k'!

Fuck... It seems that he was possessed by the Thousand-Faced Immortal just now... and his brain was also taken away by him.

"I guess it's also it! Fuck! This guy can actually bring a living person through the door directly!!"

"It's outrageous... At least ODS is offline. We're coming, Li Fan, be careful, there are other people in the space station, they will come to restart the system."

At this time, Li Fan also noticed that the space station started to call the police. Obviously, the Legion's system also beeped for a while. You said you kept your brain in the tank well?Where's the brain?Where's the brain? ?
However, Li Fan just watched the moves of the Immortal with Thousand Faces, and he also felt something in his heart. He tried to recall the feeling before it dissipated.

Although he only glanced at it at the moment of passing the 'door', he has a photographic memory, and when he sees it, he understands it.

So Li Fan took a step forward.

The moment this step was taken, it seemed that countless doors opened in front of Li Fan, most of which he couldn't see clearly and couldn't pass through, but there were fourteen doors that were relatively clear, so he stepped through.

Then Li Fan was so confused that he realized that his field of vision had also been divided into fourteen, just like the extra clones when he was beaten into the second state.

"...I'm so fucked up, come and see this..."

"...Niubi... Nima's whole body is torn apart."

What do you mean?
Li Fan turned his head and understood what the system meant.

It is purely literal.

There are fourteen people in the orbital space station, probably the apostles of the legion, some are wearing spacesuits, some are wearing military uniforms, and some are wearing engineering uniforms, but without exception, the whole body is torn apart.There were no bones left of them, and all their flesh and blood turned into black carbon, like falling black wind sand, slowly gathering around Li Fan.

There was only a pile of bloody clothes torn from the middle line behind him. Because the orbital space station was shut down and lost weight, he did not fall to the ground. Instead, he stood upright and slowly swayed like a transparent human figure, as if he was still maintaining the movements of these people in his lifetime.

It was as if just now, Li Fan directly opened the 'doors' from their bodies and walked out.

Li Fan looked at the bright red screen and felt a headache.

The next moment, he opened his eyes again and woke up, with the empty moon above his head, and his whole body was wet with sweat and blood.

This blood is his own blood, because he swam from the Weak Water Formation, and his skin and flesh haven't grown well yet.

But this is not a dream within a dream, it is another universe, something that actually happened.

The legion apostles on the orbital battery are probably all dead, because he took a step...

Not only did Li Fan's mood fall to the bottom, his Taoist body was destroyed, and even the accumulated Guixu true essence was exhausted.exhausted.

But he learned.

A way to cross the other side of the 'Gate'.
