Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 7 New Channels
Xiao Cheng walked in with everyone, and found that the room was much larger than he had imagined. It was about four meters high and nearly 100 meters wide. Rows of old-fashioned single-person shuttles were neatly placed.Each one is about three meters long, and the whole is in the shape of a shuttle, with storage compartments on both sides, suitable for people of all shapes and sizes. It is no problem for a giant like Lao Han to crawl in. This kind of single-person shuttle requires a driver. Lie down and manipulate the direction inside, the speed is extremely fast.

Brother Wu had already placed the seven shuttles neatly in order in front of everyone. Xiaodie was the first to run over and climbed onto one of the shuttles and got in. Brother Wu shook his head helplessly, and opened his palms to face the shuttle. Made the settings: "Xiaodie, I have activated the autopilot system of your shuttle, and I have locked the control panel, just lie down obediently and don't move around!"

"Brother Wu is really bad!" Xiaodie's annoyed voice came from inside, Brother Wu closed the hatch of the shuttle, turned around and said to the others, "Everyone go in, the old man's shuttle, I will wait for it To configure the autopilot, others can control it by themselves, this thing has been popularized over the years, and everyone has driven this thing.”

Xiao Cheng looked at the neat rows of shuttles, rolled his eyes, and grabbed Brother Wu: "Brother Wu, the shuttles here can all start, right?"

Brother Wu responded strangely: "Yes!"

"Choose a few more shuttles and switch them to auto-pilot mode. If there is any emergency, you can confuse them." Xiao Cheng laughed.

Brother Wu thought about it, and then smiled: "I know you have a lot of ideas, okay! I'll set it up, you guys go in quickly!"

Xiao Cheng nodded and Nan Xin chose the two adjacent shuttles to get in.

The interior of the shuttle is a soft bionic adaptive cushion, which can actively adapt and deform itself according to the driver's body shape. In just a few seconds, the hatch behind Xiao Cheng quietly closed, and his body was comfortably wrapped and fixed. , holding the joystick in front with both arms facing forward, the adaptive system is activated immediately, the joystick is adjusted to his best operating position and fixed, the built-in scanning system automatically docks with the chip in his palm, and the control system is activated. A very bright and soft arc-shaped light screen control panel opened in front of my eyes, because Brother Wu had already monitored the shuttle before, so when Xiao Cheng operated it, the system did not restart the self-test, and the light screen clearly showed the shuttle The scene around the device, the top left is the speed data recording area, the top right shows that the energy grid of the current shuttle is six full, the left frame shows the location information of other formation members, and the top center is the map route that Brother Wu has loaded into it. information.

Brother Wu debugged four or five unmanned shuttles, and came back to help the old man make some settings. He also got into the last shuttle and said clearly in the channel: "The bald dragon will go ahead first." , Follow up with a person every five seconds, the initial speed is 30km/h, and the average speed is 60km/h, no one should exceed this speed! I have adjusted the shuttles of Xiaodie and the old man, Bald Dragon, let’s go!"

"Received!" The bald dragon responded and started the shuttle. The shuttle slowly floated up from the ground. The front exit flew out.

……

Although it is not the first time for Xiao Cheng to drive this kind of shuttle, after all, it is a civilian product before, and it is the first time to drive this kind of military shuttle. Whether it is the smooth flight and the simplicity and sensitivity of the control system, he has brought great During the operation, he discovered that this shuttle is even equipped with two 50mm rapid neutron cannons hidden in the abdomen of the shuttle, and when using it, the protrusion on the top of the joystick can be called out from the abdomen. .

"Xiao Chengcheng, what are you doing with the rapid cannon and pointing it at my ass, put it away quickly, it's not a joke if it goes off!" Old Han's rough voice came from the channel, making everyone feel hot laughing out loud.

"Old Han, you are too sensitive. I just want to give it a try, and I'm not going to do anything!" Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, but it's a pity that everyone couldn't see it.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" from the passage behind them, and the warning lights on both sides of the passage turned on at the same time.

"What happened?" the bald dragon at the front asked loudly.

"Someone forcibly broke into the passage from the outside!" Brother Wu hurriedly replied, "It's not the police! It's people from the army! It's only about 500 meters away from us! There are exactly two emergency gates, and I've already closed them. Delay for a while, let's go!"

"I'll go to the rear!" The voices of Lao Han and the bald dragon sounded almost at the same time.

"Don't mess around!" Brother Wu interrupted them, "This channel is destroyed, which means they brought heavy weapons! The 50mm rapid neutron cannon on the shuttle will not help! Let's not get entangled with them, hurry up 5 minutes to the mall! They're not messing around there!"

Brother Wu lifted the speed limit on the shuttles of the old man and Xiaodie. Everyone pushed the joystick to the extreme, and the propeller blue flames skyrocketed, and they shuttled through the passage at high speed.

"Boom!" Almost at the same time, the entire passage shook.

"It's a 225mm antimatter railgun!" Brother Wu's voice was extremely dignified, "One shot blasted open the 2-meter-thick alloy gate. It seems that the second gate will not be delayed for long."

"How could people from the army get involved?" the bald dragon asked angrily.

"My existence has always been a thorn in the heart of my old teammate." The silent old man said suddenly, "The information of the police department has always been shared with the military. They must have got the news that I am here."

"But that local snake is dead, so it's impossible to say that in detail!" Nan Xin was a little puzzled.

"That guy heard that we were hiding on the 15th floor, and immediately understood that we were in the secret military stronghold that the old man opened here in the name of a bar in the seventh block." Brother Wu explained for the old man, "He also knows about this passage Secret! This place must be monitored, otherwise it would be impossible to attack this channel so quickly and resolutely!"

"Wu Zi, what should we do now?" Lao Han asked loudly.

"It's not safe for us to go to the shopping mall, there must be troops deployed there." Brother Wu's voice calmed down, "Now I will send you a new route information, this route is the branch that the old man sent me to secretly build , all the machines that work have been emptied of data, they should not know about this branch."

The route on the light screen of the control panel of Xiao Cheng’s shuttle changed accordingly. The branch is only less than two kilometers away from here, and it can be reached in a few seconds. Fly over behind!"

There was another loud bang in the passage, and the second gate was breached.

An unmanned shuttle has already accelerated backwards with all its strength and rushed back.

……

Rear Special Assault Squad.

"There is a super-high-speed object approaching in front! Avoid! Avoid!" The leader shouted, and quickly tilted the single-soldier hovering assault motorboat to the side.

But the comer was too fast, with a bang, the passage was quickly engulfed in flames!

After the flames dissipated, two motorboat fragments and the wreckage of a shuttle were scattered on the ground. The leader who had successfully evaded from the rear sank face and gritted his teeth: "Anyway, catch up to them!"

A group of special forces quickly started the motorboat and chased forward again.

……

"Damn it!" The bald dragon screamed first, "Wu Zi, this is a metal wall! Is the route wrong!"

The leading bald dragon had no time to stop the shuttle, and slammed into the "metal wall" where the branch line was.

"oops!"

"I have an old mother!"

Xiaodie and Lao Han's voices followed closely.

Before Xiao Cheng could think about it, he also ran towards the "metal wall".

The muscles all over the body twitched violently due to tension. Could it be that the route was really wrong?Xiao Cheng closed his eyes.

However, nothing happened. The shuttle seemed to have plunged into the water, and its speed was forcibly slowed down by the outside world. Xiao Cheng opened his eyes, just in time to see the shuttle coming out of the darkness.

"Dear grandma!" The bald dragon who came over first slowed down, and the shuttle stopped in front, "It turns out that this wall is a mimetic liquefied metal! Good boy, I didn't make it clear, it scared my heart out just now." Jump out too!"

Brother Wu's shuttle came in last, and laughed in the channel: "The distance is too short, there's no time for me to explain it!"

"Cough! Everyone, stop and stop." The old man coughed lightly, calming everyone down, "Let Xiao Wu arrange the next route, and Xiao Wu, you know what to do when you enter this branch this time."

"The old man is wise," Brother Wu responded, and explained, "Because the news leaked quite suddenly, many preparations were not too sufficient, but I also took into account the intervention of the army. The easiest place to enter this passage is just now. The node, where the outside is just adjacent to the water supply pipe on the No.15 floor, the space is limited, for the sake of privacy, the metal wall is filled there with only one-third of the other places, so as to ensure the integration with the outside. That guy must know too."

After a pause, Brother Wu went on to say: "So I let everyone have an average speed of 60. According to my understanding of the rapid response of the army, they should rush in just when we passed that node and not far from the branch, and If we don’t come over, we will continue with our original plan. If we are invaded, we can leave this secret branch line calmly. If we go too fast at the beginning and rush into the shopping mall without being able to judge the enemy’s situation, we may fall into an ambush .”

"It's really you!" The bald dragon exclaimed.

"But what will those bad guys do if they find this place?" Xiaodie asked curiously.

"You little guy, you usually don't read much, haven't you seen everyone relax?" Xiao Cheng didn't miss the opportunity of this horse-faced Xiaodie, "Isn't the mimic liquefied metal always in this passable state, its Different identification chips can be implanted inside according to the needs. Once placed in a certain place, it will quickly simulate the surrounding environment and self-cure. There is no difference from the outside, and the hardness and texture are simulated exactly the same as the surrounding materials. But if it passes the command recognition, it will re-liquefy, and any object can pass through, because of its special physical characteristics, it will be like drilling into water when passing through."

"Hmph! You're the one who talks too much!" Xiaodie retorted bravely, "Who wants to listen to your explanation, I, I know this too!"

Xiao Cheng chuckled and stopped talking.

"For the sake of safety and privacy, this branch line has only one exit, which is near the exit on the fifteenth floor." Brother Wu continued, "That is to say, we can't go to the 'Antique Hall' in the ninth block as originally planned. We have been delayed for so long. After a long time, the army and the police should have been deployed in various blocks, and it would be too risky to go there, so we can only follow the trend and leave the fifteenth floor through the exit.”

"Then where are we going? The other floors are not too safe." Nan Xin asked with some concern.

"We're going to the outer port on the first floor!" Brother Wu said in a deep voice, "From there, take the passenger starship and leave here directly!"
