After three days of sleepless migration and risks, the exhausted cable tribe finally arrived at Gao Gong's secret base, the old metal recycling station.
The tribe members who still have the strength are rummaging through the garbage mountain, looking for some suitable steel bars to build a shed and build their own temporary shelter.
The strong Pang Xiang transported daily necessities from his home over and over again.
Some tribe members were originally afraid of this giant man, but with the other party's enthusiastic help, they gradually lost their wariness.
Many girls moved closer to him with red faces. They were very fond of this strong but not aggressive little giant.
In the crisis-ridden iron sand desert, aesthetics have always favored big, strong, and strong. Except for being brainless, Fat Xiang has them all.
"Brother Xiang, you have a good figure. Have you been practicing since childhood? What kind of girls do you like?"
Women in the desert are always bold, and they show up without saying a few words.
Pang Xiang touched the back of his head, remembering the scene he saw in the virtual machine, and said honestly: "I like women without clothes."
"What a coincidence. I also like men without clothes. Hehe, let's talk about it some time."
"OK."
On the other side, squatting in front of the cauldron, Tiepi looked at Pangxiang surrounded by a group of lolita with jealousy, stirred the spoon vigorously, and shouted:
"It's time to eat. Come here and line up!"
The eating, drinking and diarrhea of nearly two hundred people is definitely a big problem. If nothing else, even if it is just nutritional cream, it is an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, the first two dealers, Tiepi, knew how to boil the nutritional paste into porridge. He boiled three large pots before the hungry tribe members could barely fill their stomachs.
On the other side, Gao Gong and Huang Yuanli were discussing the future of the tribe.
Staying here is just a temporary measure. If nothing else, although this place is hidden, it is quite close to the center of the oasis. It doesn't matter if the senior engineer is alone. If there are more people, there is a risk of exposure.
These are all illegal households, and as long as they are discovered, they will be expelled 100% of the time.
"Going to the gathering place for scavengers, no!" Senior Engineer rejected Huang Yuanli's suggestion.
"Why, we are also scavengers, and they can still drive us away?"
"That's not what I mean," Gao Gong shook his head and pointed at the war recorder, which would refresh the battle situation every day.
"There are more and more new radiation circles, and the intensity of the war will become higher and higher. According to my opinion, sooner or later, the radiation beast leaders will reach a consensus and attack the oasis."
"At that time, the outermost scavenger gathering areas will be the first to be abandoned," Gao Gong said meaningfully: "Do you still want to go there?"
Huang Yuanli's face turned pale.
Seeing that the little woman was frightened, the senior engineer shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. The fact that your tribe can survive is really beyond my expectation."
He looked at a place that was specially isolated, where eight young reapers were shaking their heads, staring at the 'food' not far away with salivating eyes.
And whenever they wanted to sneak out, Huang Yuanli would rush over without hesitation and curse at those monsters that were nearly two meters tall.
Even if she is less than one third of the other person's height.
The short legs will even jump up and kick their knees.
Strangely enough, when those monsters saw the little women, they were like a son seeing his mother. They were all stunned and had no temper at all like a reaper.
The senior engineer would occasionally come around, and with the aura of the 'Human Reaper', he finally trapped them.
In 'their' stupid minds, their 'mother' found them another father.
Although this father looks a little strange, he exudes the most powerful aura of the same kind.
They recognized their father at first sight.
I don’t know when I will have a brother.
Seeing the little woman holding a bowl of nutritious porridge and a pile of metal fragments surrounding these monsters like feeding dogs, the senior engineer touched his chin and felt inexplicably funny.
After a while, Huang Yuanli came over with an empty plastic basin - metal basins were not good and would be chewed directly.
When she saw the strange look in Gao Gong's eyes, her face suddenly turned red, her hands on her hips and she said fiercely:
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen anyone keeping a pet?"
The senior engineer said venomously: "I didn't expect that big head to actually help you. It seems that the brain toilet was not made in vain."
Huang Yuanli was furious.
The most important reason why the Cable Tribe lost less than ten people was that the 'Brain in a Vat' took action.
Its method is very simple and crude, and the mental storm forcibly brainwashes them, changing the 'cognition' of these reapers on the spot.
After the cognitive transformation, Huang Yuanli became their 'mother'.
A new Loli queen was born.
As if she thought of something, Huang Yuanli said worriedly: "Based on how much these guys eat, I'm worried that the first ones to be eaten will be the metal scraps in this place. What will happen if there is no food?"
The senior engineer was also speechless. This was the base camp of the mechanical hunters. They couldn't be allowed to hunt, otherwise they would be beaten to death.
"Just take it one step at a time. Maybe at a certain point in time, the problem will no longer be a problem."
Gao Gong's words seemed irresponsible, but he had a vague plan in mind.
"By the way, what is the brain in the vat doing now?"
"I don't know. It seems to have turned into a super giant mechanical biochemical beast and is migrating with the people in the desert."
'Pan-conscious subjects' are a very troublesome existence. It's not that they are very capable of fighting, but if you don't pay attention, they will overrun like locusts.
This 'flooding' could even sweep across an entire planet's intelligent species.
As the lowest level of pan-conscious subject, the 'Brain in a Vat' is not that powerful, but as long as it expands crazily, the number of its subordinates will soon approach that of a beast king tribe.
Gao Gong touched his chin, maybe this is also an opportunity.
The reason why the later Beast God Soldiers were so difficult to defeat, and even several mechanical corps dispatches failed to completely wipe them out, was that the entire desert was their radiation circle, and their eyes and ears were everywhere.
'Brain in a vat' might be a good opportunity to put a nail in it.
The senior engineer thought for a while and told Huang Yuanli an address and asked her to find a way to notify the 'Brain in the Vat'.
If it wants to regain strength faster, go to that place.
"What is it? It's mysterious. No. 314, Old Tongshan. Where is this?"
"There's an abandoned mine in the south. Just tell it. I promise it will only do you good and no harm."
Old Copper Mountain, on the surface, is an abandoned mine, but behind the scenes it is an unmanned factory where the Knights manufacture "Beast Divine Weapons".
According to the plot, at this point in time, the Beast God Soldier has entered mass production.
These level 20 meat weapons units that have not yet been injected into the "Knight Template" are indeed a great supplement to the "Brain in the Vat".
He also knew of several such unmanned factories.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. If you have anything to do, don't bother me."
"Who wants to find you?"
Huang Yuanli pouted at Gao Gong's back.
Gao Gong's former 'luxury metal shed' had been given to Huang Yuanli as the new patriarch's residence.
He himself, including a bunch of manufacturing equipment he had purchased before, moved into a nearby abandoned building.
This building is now also the base of the high-tech team.
As soon as he entered the building, he was greeted warmly by two human-headed dogs.
These two mechanical dogs have been upgraded again. It can be clearly seen that there is a special groove on their backs, and living flesh is crawling outside the wires.
The skin and flesh cut from the 'Reaper Queen' have a special activity that allows them to be transplanted into the mechanical body and form a symbiotic system with the mechanical body's energy source.
The result of the transplant is that the human-headed dog's blood volume is +100, and it has an extra prosthetic interface.
Of course, this kind of transplant surgery seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.
It was so difficult that senior engineers could only take action, but it was Professor Han who actually carried out the transformation.
In addition to [Invasive Neuromodification], Professor Han also has at least three full-level professional knowledge in his mind.
And more importantly, he has a lot of experience in biological experiments.
This is the most useful.
The senior engineer went up to the second floor and walked into a clean conference hall.
As soon as he entered it, the strong smell of blood hit his face.
I saw a corpse of about 2.5 meters tall lying on the operating table.
Professor Han, wearing a white mask and wearing a white mask, was dismembering the body.
It can be seen that although this person is not a prosthetic doctor, he can still operate this operating table.
On another table, there were large and small sterile incubators containing the organs of the Harvester Queen.
Professor Han will use his professional judgment to confirm whether this thing has strong biological rejection and whether it can be transplanted and symbiotic.
The senior engineer focused his attention on a claw. This metal claw seemed to be 'alive' and was opening and closing in the glass box.
"How?" asked the senior engineer.
Professor Han didn't speak, just handed over a piece of paper.
The paper recorded the large and small parts of the corpse, which were divided into three types: discarded organs, transplantable organs, and transformable systems.
Among them, discarded organs cannot be transplanted.
Of the latter two, transformable systems are more difficult than transplantable organs.
The senior engineer found a chair and sat down, tapping the armrests with his fingers unconsciously.
According to the paper, there are five types of transplantable organs: blade limbs, biological armor, electronic tentacles, subcutaneous blood pumps, and sensor knees.
There are three types of systems that can be modified: the circulatory system, the reproductive system, and the digestive system.
When the senior engineer raised his head, he saw Professor Han looking at him with complicated eyes.
"You don't seem to hate me?"
In the past two days, except for the senior engineer, even the carefree Huang Yuanli had a complicated look on his face when he saw Professor Han.
Others would hide whenever they saw him.
After all, there is no airtight wall, and Professor Han's plan is more or less known to everyone.
Put hundreds of living people into your head.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of this?
According to the rhetoric of pre-civilization times, this man is a perfect example of a mad scientist.
Professor Han was not surprised by this. What surprised him was the senior engineer's attitude.
