I can downgrade maintenance

Chapter 175

Cangren Research Institute.

The main purpose of the facility is research, not a dungeon that the dungeon lords use to trap greedy adventurers.

Therefore, after overthrowing the puppet, this place has become something that can be taken away, and Zhou Ning and Hu Qi didn't find it strange.

Zhou Ning even felt that the defense here was a bit too much.

This is the interior of the hive capital, how insecure is it that they deploy a large number of combat units here?

After all, no matter which era or civilization, there is a clear distinction between batons and deadly energy weapons.No one would believe that equipping a puppet with a hand cannon was an own thing.

Not to mention the last six-armed puppet, its strength is so high that it can kill from Penglai East Road to Nantianmen without any problem.

Moreover, the price of purchasing and maintaining a complete set of high-end protection systems is absolutely high.

If measured by the technological and economic level of modern Earth, Zhou Ning seriously doubts that this puppet system here is already equivalent to buying an aircraft carrier.Of course, maintenance may be cheaper.

But don't expect too low, nano-repair, memory metal, not 82-year-old wine, find a cool place and it will get better and better.

"It seems that there are probably some high-value secrets here that are worth guarding heavily."

With this idea in mind, Zhou Ning threw out a space bead while Hu Qi was not paying attention.

The thumb-sized bead was suspended in the air, and the light flickered on and off. After about a minute, a space door opened, and three burning shadow scouts walked out of it, and began to invade the facility.

They are moderated by the system.

Compared with Hu Qi's begging for fish, the system's begging is fishing.

Zhou Ning and Hu Qi went deep into the interior of the facility all the way. Hu Qi looked serious but not lacking in anxiety, while Zhou Ning was indifferent, and even had the leisure to appreciate the interior decoration style of the facility.

To Zhou Ning, the sci-fi feel is quite enough, but the flashy decoration makes him dislike it.The future high-tech that he recognizes is the kind that adheres to minimalism, is airy, low-key and luxurious, rather than turning to space opera.

But the decorations presented in front of us are on the side of space opera, the kind of art benchmarks similar to the late Renaissance of the earth, such as the baroque style with complexity and decoration as its beauty, are very popular here.

Moreover, Zhou Ning found that Cangren seemed to especially like abstract vines and leaves as decorative patterns, so many that it was annoying to look at.

"Could it be that Cang Ren played the role of the forest elf of this world for a while in his early years?"

This is irresponsible and wild thinking. In fact, Zhou Ning has neither interest nor respect for Cang people.If there is anything to sigh about, it is that the fantasy of this world hides the magic under the skin, and the chaotic truth of science fiction lies under the magic.

"It's no wonder that the supernatural practice in this world has a bad taste and is nondescript. With these relics constantly actively and passively radiating technology and culture, isn't it equivalent to adding a lot of sugar and salt to a pot of good meat, and adding curry all the time? ?”

At this time, he has vaguely confirmed that the root of all disasters is likely to be some foreign existence, which is cheap and interferes with the normal evolution of the world.

However, he was not interested in further exploring the truth behind this.

If you have to say what big wish he has, it would be more appropriate to use 'My World' to describe it.

For gamers, the ultimate wish is to create a world that I think is pleasing to the eye, and then retire honorably as a top-tier designer.

As for the title of finalist, it is for life.Avoid becoming a sad reminder like King Lear...

After brutally destroying one door after another and one wall after another, the two finally came to Hu Qi's target location.

With the help of the light source released from the wall, Zhou Ning could clearly see the existence in the cylindrical crystal jar.

It should be Cangren, nine-headed body, three-dimensional features, pointed ears, slightly thin, white skin with orchids, and golden tattoos on his body. Simple but complete, it is easy to think of an alternative circuit board system.

Zhou Ning speculates that this is probably the concrete embodiment of Cangren's achievements in researching Chaofan.

"You want her?" Zhou Ning asked.

Hu Qi looked around the jar and nodded, "It's even more perfect than I expected."

While speaking, Hu Qi handed the core components of the Stargate to Zhou Ning, which was agreed in advance.

The parts are in hand and the transaction is completed. Zhou Ning reminded: "I think there will be big movements once this body is collected. Be careful, I will wait for you outside."

With that said, he whistled and went out.

Hu Qi's gaze never left the body in the jar, and he replied "OK", and then continued to look up and down, as if confirming some details.

Zhou Ning didn't bother to care about it. His rewards from this adventure have exceeded the guarantee expectations.

The system explained that with the acquisition of stargate technology, the realm gate on the Warhammer in the realm of chaos can already be upgraded and transformed into a two-way gate.

In addition, as long as the system is upgraded to 4.0, it will be a matter of course to create a star gate that can enter and exit the crystal wall system (heaven and earth membrane).

Also, as of now in this world, there are other stargates that are operating normally.After building a complete star gate, those star gates that are still operating can be used as the other side.

In addition to the star gate, the Burning Shadow scouts also made breakthroughs.

The information database of this life research institute has been accessed by the system under the operation of the Burning Shadow scouts, and the information copy will be completely completed in one minute at most.

And somewhere in the upper area, the Burning Shadow scouts finally found a terminal device that could access the hive capital's core database.The cracking work is currently in full swing...

Hu Qi didn't make Zhou Ning wait too long. At 11 minutes and 37 seconds, Hu Qi appeared in front of Zhou Ning, with a bit of complacency in his voice: "Fortunately, the acquisition process went smoothly."

Zhou Ningxin said: "There is no such thing as luck. It is nothing more than that the four systems have completed the control of the intelligent system while copying the data."

"It's really good news. I hope my project can have some luck."

"Sorry, I didn't deliberately spoil your interest. As far as I know, it is less than two hours before it gets dark. Counting the return time, it will be an hour and a half."

"Okay, that's all for today. Continue tomorrow." Zhou Ning seemed reasonable.

In fact, because he left, the cracking of the system will not be affected. By tomorrow, the system will probably be able to provide him with the blueprint of the entire hive.It saves him from being rash and wandering around.

The two turned around, and Yao Jie was the first to ask, "How is it?"

Hu Qi smiled: "It's done!"

Yu Qing asked: "So, then we can go to Yinzhuang to send an extra sum."

Hu Qidao: "We also need to help Fellow Daoist Shen to achieve his goals, as agreed in advance."

"Oh!" Yu Qing replied with some reluctance.

Hu Qi comforted: "After helping fellow Shen Gong, I won't take any money from the Yinzhuang that belongs to me. All the goods will be shared equally by the three of you."

"That's so embarrassing, hehe!" Yu Qing rubbed his hands and explained, "It's not that I'm greedy for money, it's that the exercises I practice are too expensive."

Practice does not use spiritual energy, but draws it from spiritual wine.Yu Qing's exercises are indeed somewhat special, but Zhou Ning does not believe that alcoholism is the inevitable cause of greed for money.

Of course, there is no need to debunk.He came here for the purpose of making a fortune. He had no friendship, and he was not moral. Naturally, he would fight for it if he could.

He and Hu Qi are not much better, it's just that the goods they value are different.

As for comity, isn't it aimed at achieving better goals? It's a decision made after accounting, not because of moral integrity.

After all, with the binding force of the contract, it is still worthwhile to get things done smoothly without leaving sequelae, and to lose some money.

This is actually one of the reasons why Zhou Ning is willing to cooperate with Hu Qi.

If it is not necessary, this person is quite polite, or in other words, has great wisdom, not petty cleverness, and will not lose the big because of the small.

On the contrary, if there is a real need, even if you sell your teammates, you won't hit a beat.

That night, just after eating barbecue by the bonfire, the system prompted that the central system of the hive capital had been cracked.

This is good news.

The bad news is that there are still several local area network institutions like the Life Research Institute that he and Hu Qi explored in the hive capital.

It is precisely because of the high degree of independence and the inability to communicate through non-physical connections, this type of organization was not fatally affected when the hive capital was destroyed, and has remained relatively intact to this day.

Moreover, these facilities have high exploration value.

At worst, it can also speed up the speed of the system's cracking of Cangren's technology.

This acceleration is calculated in ten years.

The system also gave a detailed explanation for this. There are two main reasons why the system is so slow in cracking Cangren's technology.

1. Cangren's technology is already very high-end.After all, there are even facilities like star gates.

2. Cangren's high technology is based on a kind of radioactive material similar to nuclear fuel.However, the nature of this substance has changed under the influence of extraordinary power.

Up to now, the original substance has been hard to find, which has brought a huge obstacle to cracking.

If Zhou Ning can obtain this primary isotope substance called 'Promethium VI', it won't take long before Cangren's technology can be fully integrated into his RTS system.

If he can do it, he will be able to jump directly from 'Red Alert' to 'StarCraft', and it will also be a Tyranid human technology that incorporates a certain proportion of interstellar protoss psychic power (replaced by extraordinary power) technology.

The system drew such a pie, Zhou Ning couldn't help but salivate.

His RTS system really wants to fully enter the level of the StarCraft Tyrannian race, and can also transmit super-large facilities and creations over a long distance through the teleportation matrix like the Potos Protoss, and take in some refugees. Water thing?

And according to the systematic analysis, the current hive capital is very likely to have native promethium-[-].

There are two places where primary promethium-[-] exists with the highest probability.

One is the hive power furnace.

According to the statement given by the system, the hive capital is like a super large starship without a propulsion engine.Cangren's own name for the hive capital is World Star.One is one world.The integrity of its functions can be seen.

The reason why this hive capital has not been completely destroyed now is because the power furnace is still working hard.

The system has reason to suspect that there is primary promethium-[-] in the power furnace.

The promethium hexa in the reaction state produces extremely strong energy, which fills the power furnace, forming an energy field, which has a repulsive effect on extraordinary power, until today.

Another place where native promethium-[-] may exist is the fuel depot of the hive capital.

The encapsulation of the fuel bank is fantastic.Vacuum isolation, no energy superconducting medium.

However, the fuel depot appears to have suffered some degree of damage.Systematic analysis believes that the special undead here were created under the extraordinary mutation of promethium six radiation.

All in all, Hive City is still of great value to him, and the first goal has also been confirmed.Hive power furnace.

The fuel depot is too dangerous. It's hard to say that there are no more powerful special undead there. If he really wants to set the first target there, his teammates will probably give up halfway.

After a safe night, the next day, which is the No. 16 day of exploration, was early again and entered the Hive Capital.

However, when they reached the barrier area, Zhou Ning proposed to modify the contract:
"Yinzhuang, or the treasury, I know its location, and I can take you there first, so that the three of you can get the money in advance, and it's safe.

But correspondingly, we have to change the content of our previous agreement.

The new contract is more binding. Once you encounter a dangerous situation, you are required to do your best, instead of retreating when the situation is not good. "

'tsk! 'Yu Qing had a look of disdain, it was just the face of the old fried dough stick who had been debunked in advance.

Li Shi was the first to express his opinion: "Yes."

Yao Jie added an additional condition: "If there are too few goods in the treasury, my mother will not give up her life."

"Okay!" Zhou Ning responded directly.

People are different, Li Shi's craftsmanship is all on the knife, and whether he tries his best depends mainly on his attitude.

This is not the case for Yao Jie and Yu Qing, the proportion of "props" has a great influence on their strength.

If they try their best, they will not only have to work hard, but also consume valuable utensils and materials. After such a settlement, Zhou Ning's proposal is tantamount to making the two of them take the risk of a debt, so naturally they are not willing to compromise easily.

Yu Qing sees that Yao Jie has already fought for his interests, so he no longer speaks against him.

Hu Qi watched the whole show, not even thinking about the current adventure, and didn't know what he was thinking about, maybe how to deal with that special human body.

With the help of the system, the trip to the vault was smooth, including opening the gate.

This vault is also a highly independent local area network system, also guarded by metal puppets.

When the overall level is significantly lower than that of the Life Research Institute, the independent energy source is almost exhausted, and there is no way to make any waves, the system easily gains control, and then successfully completes the looting.

Yu Qing, Li Shi, and Yao Jie smiled openly at the energy coins that shone like self-illuminating opals.

Zhou Ning is also the first time to see this crystal.

This kind of energy coin is not a token like banknotes, but has a corresponding value, even more than gold of equal weight.

In addition, due to the problem of the storage method, this kind of coin has been infected by extraordinary power, and it has been completely mutated after a long period of accumulation.

For extraordinary people, this kind of energy currency is more valuable than spirit stones.

It depends on the specifics, but in general, it must have made a fortune.

Zhou Ning specializes in private lockers.

Deeds, jewels... mostly junk, but there are also useful items.

For example, under the system identification, Zhou Ning found an important badge.

This badge is a special key, even now, it can bring a lot of convenience to Zhou Ning.

Hu Qi still had nothing to do with himself throughout the whole process, hanging high, wandering in the sky, and only waited for the people to divide the spoils, and then immediately went to the next stop.

The next stop is very deep, at the very bottom of the hive.

Thankfully, there's no need to play 'a real man can go down a hundred floors'.

There is a direct shaft leading to the location of the Hive Power Furnace.

The elevators have been out of service due to lack of power, and even if there is no lack of power, people will not take such dead elevators.Just fly straight down.

All the way down, Yu Qing and the three were beaming, talking and laughing.

Hu Qize seldom opened his mouth and asked Zhou Ning, "Are you familiar with this place?"

"Similar to your soul puppet, I have explored it before."

"Oh." Hu Qi said nothing more.

Like going straight to the abyss of hell, a group of five people continued to descend, exceeding 2000 meters.

Looking at the luminous object that was thrown down before, it was already clearly visible, and the distance from the bottom was not too high. The whole building, including the air, trembled slightly for a few times.

Afterwards, a special kind of spiritual power directly seeped into everyone's soul, causing bursts of heart palpitations.

It seems that an ancient existence with a very high spiritual realm is sleeping here, and now, they have broken into the telepathic area of ​​this ancient existence...
