"So...the nuclear war was created by Xi'an?"
Orange light shone on Cain's face, flickering on and off. She lay on the railing, supporting her cheek with one hand, looking at the energy surging in the transparent cylinder in front of her, her tone was surprisingly calm.
"Just a guess."
Even though he said this, Li Liang still felt a chill in his heart.
What kind of crazy and ambitious man would destroy human civilization for his own selfish gain?
In the blazing heat and wind, Li Liang turned around and walked towards the stairs on the side of the platform.
Going down the barbed wire stairs, you can see mottled slogans everywhere on the walls.
"e are the future"
"We are the future"
"Glory, Kingdom, Power"
"Make humanity great again"
"do or do not, there is no try"
Each platform is empty, but the further you go down, the more worn the ground becomes, leaving more traces.
These traces left over the years show that countless equipment was once installed here and it was overcrowded.
Some huge doors are open, leading to dark and empty spaces, while some are closed, as if they haven't been opened for many years.
Until you reach the bottom.
When looking down from a high place, the lowest level is covered with complex mechanical equipment, which looks like an enlarged chip surface. However, when Li Liang arrived here in person, he discovered that every piece of equipment around him was astonishingly large.
There are metal casings high and low covered with rust, and pipes of different thicknesses connect all the equipment together. There is basically no space for people to pass through.
Even with equipment at the lowest height, it is almost as tall as an adult.
The temperature here is higher, and heat waves hit in waves. In an instant, Li Liang is sweating profusely.
Cain slapped his cheeks with his hands and shouted, "Is this an engine?"
"Yes!" The wind noise was much louder, and Li Liang could only shout.
Viewed from this angle, the transparent cylinder stands like an Optimus pillar, with energy gushing out from below and then falling back, as if a sun is stuffed into it, constantly erupting with flares.
Nuclear fusion?
It must not be a nuclear reactor anyway.
Li Liang wiped the sweat from his face and looked confused.
If the Defiant's shell was made of some special material, it would barely make sense to survive nine hundred years, but how could the engine and the equipment inside the submarine still operate normally?
There have been hundreds of people who have been able to repair and maintain it before, but it has been three hundred years since it was last closed. No matter how good the parts are, it is impossible for it to last for three hundred years without breaking.
Simply unbelievable.
Sudden.
Cain yelled, pointing to a piece of equipment.
Following the direction of her finger, Li Liang turned around and looked.
There was a crab lying on the tomb-shaped device.
The crab is lying on its eight legs, holding up two large pincers, and the two eyeballs in the middle stick out of the back shell, shaking left and right.
What the hell?
Li Liang was stunned for a moment and took a step forward.
The crab seemed frightened and swooped behind the equipment.
Then, in the howling wind, there was a burst of chirping sounds, coming from all directions.
Cain immediately pulled out the gun from the holster strapped to his thigh and looked around nervously.
The sound became louder and louder, even covering the sound of the wind.
Li Liang relaxed instead.
This voice sounds...
next moment.
Countless crabs crawled out from the gaps between the equipment and swarmed over in a dark mass.
Li Liang finally saw clearly that the shells of those crabs reflected the metallic luster, and they were clearly micro-robots.
He knelt down and held out his hand.
A crab hesitantly climbed onto the palm of his hand, staring at him with two metal eyes, and pinched it a few times with two large pliers.
Kakaka——
All the crabs began to shake their "pliers", but some were wrenches, some were welding guns, and some were screwdrivers.
This is the secret to the Defender's normal operation...
Li Liang shook his head.
At this time, Cain squatted down next to him and shouted, "This little thing looks so damn unique!"
The crab's two metal eyes suddenly separated and stared at her.
"Haha..." Cain chuckled and picked up a mechanical crab to tease.
Li Liang stood up and looked around.
All the surrounding equipment is covered with such micro-robots, indicating that there must be a warehouse somewhere on the submarine to store parts.
However, it doesn't look like it can be passed here.
It is very likely that at the earliest, this nuclear fusion engine was maintained by robots.
Therefore, the best way is to go back to the main control hall and study the holographic structure.
Thinking of this, Li Liang patted Cain to signal that it was time to leave.
Cain shrugged and put a crab into his pocket.
The crab poked out two eyes from his pocket and shook them from side to side.
Twenty minutes later.
Li Liang and Cain returned to the main control hall.
Sitting on the large chair, he activated the holographic structure again.
A holographic image appeared on a submarine. There were densely packed bright spots on it, and a large area of the hull structure had a red area marked with the name of the area and the extent of the damage.
Fortunately, there are not too many incident reports this time, and the interface is very refreshing.
After the "field inspection" just now, when he carefully looked at the image this time, Li Liang instantly saw clearly that the submarine had an overall structure.
The inverted funnel-shaped space is where the core of the power system is located, located in the center of the submarine. The three flat spaces below are marked as maintenance and supply cabins.
Dozens of pressure-resistant cabins, sonar cabins, sonar arrays, rapid dive cabins, engine rooms, lock rooms, main propulsion shafts and other functional spaces are distributed throughout the submarine, plus there are The accommodation module, including two command cabins, a three-story steering and external reconnaissance cabin in the bridge, and other fragmentary spaces, together form the internal structure of this giant submarine.
More importantly, Li Liang discovered that the submarine had no missile silos or onboard weapons.
A large amount of space is labeled research bays.
There are even several spaces marked as "species retention cabins".
Previous speculations are becoming more and more correct...
This is not an attack submarine, but a shelter.
Li Liang waved his hand, zoomed out the submarine structure diagram, and called up the mission log.
The earliest record shows that the submarine was launched in the Bohai Bay in 2145 and began to circle the four oceans.
This kind of mission log records the submarine's heading, compass heading, electric heading, compass difference, propeller speed, tank water measurement data, chart production progress, etc. at all times, including all kinds of details performed inside the boat. Equipment operating tasks.
At first glance, they are all densely packed with numbers.
Even though he took the initiative to research this time and read the records for more than ten days, Li Liang's eyes were already sore.
Moreover, this kind of data is too professional, and he can't understand what the numerical changes mean.
It is difficult for Cain to see it for a day.
Frowning, Li Liang forced himself to read the numbers silently.
Slowly, he discovered the pattern.
Sometimes small changes in numbers indicate that the displacement of the submarine is very small.
Especially between 2150 and 2250, it basically stagnated at the same position, and then began to circle around the four oceans.
Sometimes the equipment in the cabin is used frequently, such as air conditioners, battery packs, door openings and closings, etc., while sometimes traveling in circles is relatively infrequent.
"You guessed it right," Cain held a mechanical crab in his arms and stood beside the seat and pointed at the mission log. "In mythology, a nuclear war broke out around this time. In 2265, the Twin Gods came to the world. .”
Li Liang cursed silently in his heart and then scrolled down.
As time approaches modern times, the Defiant has stayed in different areas of the seven continents. Gradually, the suffix of the captain's name has become consistent - Softbank Lee.
For example, the last captain, named Mona Softbank Lee, issued the last mission command to activate the anti-reconnaissance shield, interrupt the communication connection, close key locations, and enter the standby mode.
Cain rubbed the crab's eyes and said softly, "The anti-reconnaissance shield may even be able to block Xi'an's internal surveillance, so Xi'an has never been able to find this submarine."
"Where's the communication?" Li Liang asked casually, waving his hand to close the log and clicking on the communication system.
The system shows that the Defiant is accepting data but rejecting reverse queries.
Li Liang was a little confused.
What is this operation?
He thought for a moment and said, "Inquire about Mona SoftBank Lee."
"According to Xi'an Company's S2 security protocol, target information cannot be displayed in systems lower than "Enheria"."
"Huh?" Li Liang was stunned and then said, "Show the contents of Xi'an S2 security agreement."
"The file details cannot be displayed in a system with a level lower than "Kingdom"."
"What the hell..." Li Liang was angry, "What level of system does the Free Trade Defender belong to?"
Two words "Pope" popped up in the image.
Li Liang understood now.
The equipment in the upper city area is at least a kingdom, and it is all of the god sequence. Any equipment in the lower city area is probably a mortal at the highest level, and even the Defender is just...a pope.
From this point of view, belief in this set of things not only deceives people in the lower city area, but is also very popular in the upper city area.
Li Liang remembered the first time he had a conversation with the "operator" named Li Feifei in Shangcheng District at Zhenjie Fort. That girl's pious expression was definitely not just a pretense. His status in the temple was not just as simple as his high position and power, but also with a a religious status.
At the same time, he also understood Xi'an's hierarchy.
Permissions and devices are both important.
On low-level devices, no one can query high-level information, which fundamentally prevents information leakage caused by being cracked.
Moreover, the original purpose is to isolate information. Anyone in Xiacheng District is naturally not qualified to inquire about the information of upper-level officials in Shangcheng District.
Thinking of this, Li Liang said, "Check Li Chengshu."
In an instant, densely packed image data poured out.
He quickly added, "Inspection and Enforcement Bureau, Li Chengshu."
"Li Chengshu, male, 68 years old, director of the Supervision and Enforcement Bureau of the New Order Liaison Conference, born in..." was followed by a biography.
After a brief search, Li Liang discovered that Li Chengshu was actually from Xiacheng District. He grew up in Bay City and worked all the way from the neighborhood committee to the director of the Supervision and Enforcement Bureau. His rank rose as fast as a rocket.
"Inquiry about Nirvana Zhuosi, Gu Sheng."
"According to Xi'an Company's S4 security protocol, target information cannot be displayed in systems with levels lower than the "National" system."
It turns out that Gu Sheng has a higher level than Li Chengshu.
At this time, Cain's voice sounded next to him, "Inquire about Cain."
"Cain, female, 23 years old, unknown birthplace, unknown upbringing, extremely dangerous, suspected of multiple murders, organizational subversion, illegal hallucinogen production, illegal bionic transformation..."
Cain raised his eyebrows, "What the hell is this writing about?"
Li Liang was delighted, "Why, have I wronged you?"
Cain turned his head and said angrily, "I'm 22 years old."
"..."
Li Liang pursed his lips and glanced at Cain, who was "seriously angry".
This woman has some brain power.
After coming back to his senses, Li Liang thought of someone again.
Dr. Xisen was rescued yesterday.
So, he said, "Look up Sisson Putnam Lee."
"According to Xi'an Company's S2 security protocol, target information cannot be displayed in systems with levels lower than "Enheria"."
Li Liang was not surprised and closed the query information with a wave of his hand.
Sudden.
An old voice sounded from under the podium, "Sison Putnam Lee, male, 75 years old, Putnam Laboratory, president of Xin'ao."
Li Liang stood up suddenly.
Footsteps sounded, and after a moment, a dry old man with white hair walked onto the platform, put his hands on his hips, and said breathlessly, "This step has a lot of steps."
