Chapter 216 - 85: Deploy Construction Tasks, Execute!

Chapter 216: Chapter 85: Deploy Construction Tasks, Execute!

What Higgs field phase transition, what proton decay, what quantum gravity vacuum reconstruction, Chen Jian truly knows nothing about these things.

This is completely beyond what an undergraduate can grasp; it has already touched on rather advanced foundational physics theories.

Fu Xi briefly introduced some parts to him, but he was utterly confused, eventually having to give up.

However, fortunately, as Fu Xi said, figuring out the so-called "truth" is not the most urgent task right now.

Not to mention, Lei Jie and the others are still in 095.

No matter what, he has to bring them over first.

---- And before bringing them over, Chen Jian needs to figure out what exactly is in this 011 installation.

He asked Fu Xi questions, and Fu Xi’s answers were more intelligent than Lingxi’s.

Or rather, more like a human.

".... It is impossible to make you fully understand all the facilities and equipment inside the 011 installation in a short time, as the information involved is too vast and too trivial."

"However, since you have been to 095, I can express it in a simpler way."

"011 is a magnified version of 095, magnified several dozen times."

"011 possesses all the functionalities of 095 and has a more powerful and complete intelligent system compared to 095, as well as more abundant and adequate resources."

"Theoretically speaking, running at full power, it only takes a few months to rely on the resources and equipment inside the 011 installation to build a near-modern town capable of supporting a few hundred people and making this town self-sustaining."

"Likewise, I can also restore a relatively basic industrial system from human civilization within a few months----of course, this requires support from other external resources, such as minerals."

"Additionally, naturally, 011 also has a set of defense systems that can adapt to the construction expectations, or you can call them military systems."

"The main preparatory system for this set is you, but unfortunately, since 011 was not designed as a war center, the weapons stored here are relatively limited and basic."

"If we want to obtain more and more advanced weapons, perhaps we need to go to the 010 installation in Feng City, or to the 006 installation in Quan City, or the 015 in Jin Cheng and 009 in Changshan."

"... perhaps 006 has already been activated."

Chen Jian said helplessly:

"Quan City has already been occupied by some faction.... if you’ve lost contact with 006, most likely, this installation has also been damaged."

"006 is indeed out of contact, its intelligent system is damaged, but the environmental maintenance system there is independent, perhaps the equipment inside may still be usable?"

"Highly unlikely."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:

"If the advanced equipment inside were still usable, Huadu would have been invincible by now."

"I estimate that 006 is in a similar condition to the 7025 installation we found earlier, probably in a semi-destroyed state."

"Some equipment is usable, some have become scrap metal..."

"Understood. But we have other options, so there’s no need to lose hope."

"There’s no need to be discouraged..."

Chen Jian waved his hand, then said:

"We need to switch the 011 installation to full-load operation mode first, and deploy the surrounding defenses."

"There are four team members left in 095, we have to bring them over first."

"We can’t abandon the materials and equipment of 095 either, how to transport them is a big problem."

"Perhaps we should let the people from Yellow Stone City come over, otherwise we don’t have enough manpower..."

"Perhaps there’s no need for such trouble."

Fu Xi interjected:

"There is a considerable scale of cold start resources stored inside the 011 installation, including but not limited to a series of infrastructure and transportation equipment."

"These devices may not be enough for large-scale construction, but clearing a primary road between 095 and 011 is a piece of cake."

"Comrade Major, what you need to do is very simple."

"Please confirm: execute the expansion tasks of the 011 installation?"

"Confirmed."

Chen Jian answered without hesitation.

"Received, confirm execution of the 011 installation expansion tasks."

Soon after, a series of orders flashed across the screen in front of him.

"Task sequencing completed."

"001: Activate communication protocol."

"002: Activate the ant colony."

"003: Open supply crates."

"004: Assemble cold start equipment."

"005: Cold start."

"006: Equipment output."

"007: Clear the main channel."

"008: Build cellular network base station."

...

A series of concise task instructions were issued, accompanied by the continuous roaring, clashing, and mechanical operations inside the 011 installation, this giant beast that had been dormant for over 300 years slowly awakened.

Chen Jian stood up in astonishment, and as he pushed open the door towards the living area, numerous small four-legged wheeled robots had already been activated.

These robots emerged from the sealed chambers on the side of the living area, and under the guidance of Fu Xi’s powerful computing power, they slid one after another towards their targets as if they were worker ants controlled by a queen ant.

Countless supply crates were opened, and the components inside these crates were taken out and placed in designated assembly areas on the floor one by one.

Subsequently, mechanical arms on the overhead rails descended and began assembling the large machinery whose function Chen Jian could not yet discern.

The bustling scene made Chen Jian feel like he was in a busy futuristic factory, and just as the "ant colony" was focused on their respective tasks, the ceiling of the living area suddenly erupted with massive explosive and roaring sounds.

Subsequently, Fu Xi’s voice came through.

"Main channel is open, awaiting clearance."

"Poor network signal, poor satellite signal, drones unable to take off, temporarily unable to establish external surveillance."

"Comrade Major, until the main channel is cleared and the external cellular network base station is erected, you and your comrades may need to take on temporary surveillance duties."

"Understood, I’ll handle temporary surveillance."

Chen Jian donned the helmet of the "Nezha" exoskeleton again, then walked towards the lounge where Zeng Yi and the others were waiting.

When he opened the door, he was greeted with three faces filled with utter shock.

Evidently, through the semi-transparent glass door of the lounge, they had already seen everything happening outside.

But they did not understand what was happening, nor did they comprehend how everything transpired.

The fear of the unknown had flooded their minds like a tide, even though they had mentally prepared, they still could not quickly accept what they saw.

Autonomous humanoid robots, flickering light signals, constantly broadcasting task progress they couldn’t understand, the loud noises above their heads, and the vibrations beneath their feet...

At this moment, the three Holy Bloods felt their insignificance.

The powers they took pride in, in the face of true might... were insignificant.

The group trembled as they looked at Chen Jian, who waved nonchalantly and said:

"Come with me."

"We need to return to the surface to establish surveillance and then notify Lei Jie and the others to come."

"...Understood."

Zeng Yi replied with difficulty, and the three followed behind Chen Jian, taking the elevator to the connection level according to Fu Xi’s guidance, then walked out along the main channel opened by the blasting.

The piled-up earth had not been cleared yet, so they climbed out with some difficulty, then looked back to see the real gate of the 011 installation.

It was as if the gate connected to another world.

Chen Jian launched a drone and set up a simple surveillance post.

Subsequently, he called Lei Jie and briefly introduced the situation of the 011 installation to them.

In fact, Lei Jie and the others had already grasped most of the situation through the information exchange between Fu Xi and Lingxi, but when they heard Chen Jian’s confirmation in person, they could barely contain their excitement in their voices.

"We’re coming over right away!"

As soon as the words fell, the roaring sound of engines came through the other end of the radio.

Chen Jian silently watched the drone surveillance footage displayed on his goggles, then he discovered that, whether due to the death of the second-level monster or the activation of the 011 installation, the nearby mycnids and other monsters were frantically fleeing from the Jinling Ruins.

"The surrounding environment is safe."

Chen Jian said, somewhat surprised:

"Those remaining monsters seem to.... be scared away?"

"Of course they’re running.... "

Ji Xing’s voice came through the radio.

"Something’s coming out behind you..."

Chen Jian turned to look at the main channel of the 011 installation, where, while the ant colony was pulling cables and setting up the first cellular network base station, a massive four-legged tracked excavator had begun clearing the loose earth at the entrance of the channel.

And in the air, several quad-rotor drones were hovering and waiting; once the next base station was established and network coverage was complete, they would immediately fly to altitude.

"Monster.... you... we.... "

Ji Xing said incoherently through the radio.

"We’ve become true monsters...."

"Wrong."

Chen Jian paused, then said:

"Not true monsters."

"We’re true Industrial Cthulhu!"
