"There are too many guards. Let's try another method."
Returning to the station, the seventh princess said.
"You mean sneaking in?" Chen Xing asked.
"As long as you avoid the searchlight, the alarm will not be triggered." The seventh princess analyzed. This is not groundless speculation, but well-founded speculation. Within a ten thousandth of a second, her sea of consciousness replayed every detail before and after the alarm was triggered, and performed tens of thousands of calculations to finally reach this conclusion.
After waiting for fifteen minutes, the two returned to the ground again. The factory in the distance returned to calm, and it was empty and silent in front of the gate, with only a few searchlights sweeping back and forth unhurriedly.
Everything was so quiet and peaceful, as if the battle just now had never happened.
The two avoided the searchlights and came under the high wall outside the factory.
Chen Xing opened his hands forward and made a hugging gesture. Since you can't enter through the gate, you can only use unconventional means.
Teleport with the girl.
This is the name he gave to this new skill, simple and easy to understand, very straightforward.
The Seventh Princess's expression was a little unnatural, as if she was very reluctant, but under the pressure of Chen Xing's serious gaze, she couldn't think of any other way, so she had to take off her steam armor and accept the shameful hug honestly.
Her feet were clamped on the man's waist and she was hooking his neck. The posture was so shameful that she didn't dare to open her eyes.
"Zi la!"
An arc of electricity flashed in the corner, and the two people disappeared out of thin air.
The next second, Chen Xing appeared inside the wall with a beauty in his arms.
"Okay, come down."
Probably because he was in a hurry to hunt for treasure, Chen Xing didn't make it difficult for the other party this time and let him go directly after entering.
Searchlights flashed back and forth in the factory area, and mechanical guards patrolled everywhere.
The two quickly locked onto a nearby pile of mechanical garbage and ducked in to hide.
After arriving at the safe point, Chen Xing began to observe the situation in the factory.
There are several large factory buildings scattered around, some with four walls, and some with just iron frames. Countless pipes span overhead, ranging from a few meters to tens of meters high. The pipes are all iron pipes, with different thicknesses, some as thin as bamboo poles, some as thick as tree stumps, and even super giant pipes with a diameter of more than three meters.
The pipes were covered with screws of all sizes, and looked dark and damp in the dim light.
Every few seconds, steam escapes from the cracks in the pipes, making a hissing sound. It was wet everywhere, and moisture filled every corner of the factory. The ground is full of potholes and oil-filled water.
The clanking of presses and the rhythmic snapping of machine tools could be heard in the distance.
Chen Xing silently observed every place, trying to find a perfect path to avoid the guards and enter the depths of the factory.
From the history and physics textbooks in his first life, he roughly knew the structure of a factory with steam as the main power.
Generally, there are boilers, steam pipelines, power conversion devices, transmission devices and various production workshops.
The boiler is a place that burns coal and oil to provide heat energy for the factory, and the steam pipe, as the name suggests, is a device that conducts steam. The power conversion device is a steam engine, which converts steam into mechanical power, and then provides the power to the equipment in the production workshop through the transmission device.
"Crunch, crunch..."
Suddenly, Chen Xing's thinking was interrupted by noise. Looking around, two short round-headed robots were moving this way. They were dragging behind them a cleaning truck that was several times taller than themselves. They were swaying as they walked, and their movements were very funny. They looked like two roly-polys.
"Dudu, garbage, recycling, recycling..."
After a while, they came to the garbage dump and loaded large pieces of mechanical garbage into the car.
Looking closely, their shells are rusty, their joints are stiff, and the springs are exposed at the joints, making them look very old and worn. It seems that the mechanical demons are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The most dilapidated ones are assigned the job of cleaning up garbage.
Probably because of the aging of the equipment, even though the two mechanical cleaners were only a few meters away from Chen Xing and the Seventh Princess, they did not notice them.
Chen Xing observed for a while and then made a sneak attack gesture toward the seventh princess. The latter nodded in understanding, and then the two of them walked around to the back of the mechanical cleaner and started working at the same time.
The seventh princess made a slight leap, flew across a distance of five or six meters, and accurately struck the mechanical cleaner's neck with a hand knife.
Although he is wearing heavy steam armor, he feels light and agile, quietly and instantly.
"Crack!" Only a soft sound was heard, and the round head of the mechanical cleaner fell off.
Chen Xing on the other side teleported over and stabbed the tactical dagger directly into the mechanical neck. With a forceful click, a burst of black smoke came out, the two flashing red eyes quickly dimmed, the ball-like head drooped, and there was no movement at all.
After killing the two small things, the two of them worked together to push up a cleaning truck, using the size of the cleaning truck to block the searchlights.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the entrance of one of the factories safely.
Looking inside, there are countless mechanical equipments standing in it. Dozens of mechanical tracks are running in various directions, and it is unknown where they are transported.
On one side of the entrance, there is a long line of round-headed robots dragging cleaning trucks, carrying garbage onto automatic crawlers.
Rows of round-head robots stand in front of the crawlers, operating their hands to dismantle and classify the garbage on the crawlers.
These round-head robots look newer, have flexible joints, and are not as old as the cleaners.
It seems that this is a scrap recycling workshop.
"Let's go inside."
A few minutes later, the two used the cover of various large mechanical equipment to sneak into the next workshop.
This is a parts production workshop, and different parts are transported on different tracks, including gears, screws, bearings, springs, springs, etc.
Then they went to the next workshop.
Countless small robots wearing engineering hats circled around a few mechanical guards, tightening screws, welding, and knocking.
Needless to say, this is the mechanical guard assembly shop.
The two of them explored several workshops one after another, all of which were workshops for assembling mechanical monsters.
"We are going to the factory manager's office, the important things should be there." The seventh princess said.
If there is any undercurrent relic that keeps the factory running, its location will be in the most important part of the factory.
For a factory, which place represents the highest will of the factory?
Of course it’s the manager’s office!
"Where do you think it will be?" Chen Xing asked softly.
"If you were the manager of the factory, where would you locate your office?" the seventh princess asked.
"A place where you can see the entire factory!" Chen Xing said.
The two found the ventilation pipe ladder in the workshop and climbed to the roof of the workshop.
The view here is wide, and Chen Xing couldn't help but be surprised at a glance.
He has never seen such a big factory. There are countless large and small factories, densely packed, stretching to the horizon.
If we look at the productivity of this factory, it is estimated that he and the seventh princess will not be able to catch up with the production speed of the guards until they are exhausted.
"There is no particularly prominent position." Chen Xing observed for a while and came to a conclusion.
There are so many factories that you can’t even see them all, so there is no place where you can see everything at a glance.
"Besides the administrator's office, what is the most important thing to this factory?"
"Boiler room!"
The two of them thought of this place invariably.
For a factory with nearly unlimited productivity, power is the support point for everything.
The power source of the steam plant is the boiler room!
"Follow the steam pipe and look for it!"
"Um!"
The two sneaked on the roof, quickly found the input steam pipe, and jumped on it.
"Ah, so hot!"
Huge heat came from under her feet, and the seventh princess quickly jumped back to the roof. Although steam armor also uses steam, it has coolant for cooling and insulation. The temperature of the steam pipe is very high, and you will get burned if you are not careful.
"Don't be afraid, I'm immune to heat!"
Chen Xing opened his hands and showed a wicked smile.
