Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1061 New forces

Before nightfall this day.

Mechanical hive.

A sensational news spread in the Mechanical Hive's LAN in a short period of time - the guards of the Mechanical Hive discovered three survivors from other cities outside the hive!
The natives of the Mechanical Hive originally thought that they were the only survivors of human society, and this news greatly excited them.

They are not the only survivors, which means that the empire, which is messy but useful at least, is still there, which means that it is possible for everything to return to its original order——

It is possible for them to return to their original lives instead of groveling for the two meals a day distributed by the mechanical hive [new government]!
They did not get any more information, because the three people disappeared immediately as soon as they were connected to the mechanical hive - people made many malicious conjectures about this, and what kind of strange urban legends were born from the local area network. The [new government's] malicious speculation has reached a new level.

The unverified rumors did not continue to ferment, but were wiped out by other discussions on the local area network, just like any previous topic that attracted attention but was of no use.

At 11 o'clock at night, in Area B of the Mechanical Hive, on the first floor of the Z Group's closed building, outside an operating room that is still in operation, Chen Yan, Chen Yan, Lindsay Robert Darwin, Koschilanfur Clapeter, and Thomas Gill Bert...and several core staff who had just joined Z Group gathered here.

Except for Chen Yan and Chen Yan, the others were more or less unnatural.

Lindsay Robert Darwin was obviously not prepared to attend such an occasion. He had always regarded himself as a professional who did not care about the secular world, and when he promised Chen Yan to come over to help, he had already prepared that he would not participate in the Z Group. planning for internal political occasions”.

But today he still walked out of the laboratory and came to the operating room. He really wanted to see what kind of person Chen Yan took so seriously in the operating room, especially after this person traveled a long distance across Tianqi to reach the machine. Behind the Hive - Lindsay is intrigued and awed by the belief that he has traveled across the "ice of death" to the mechanical hive.

Koschilanfur Krapeter, on the other hand, has a very serious and sincerely caring attitude. Lying in the operating room is not only his senior, but also someone he respects.

He was once impressed by Ned Roddy's thoughts and beliefs. He once drew a lot of strength from the senior's words, and thus eliminated a lot of confusion.

Not only that - the fact that Ned Roddy crossed the sea and came to the Mechanical Hive is enough to make his status in the Z Group very high. He will definitely be valued by Chen Yan, and this kind of respect will definitely change later. There is an energy within the group - Koschilanfur Krapeter believes that this energy is his friend and can be used for himself.

Thomas Gilbert had a completely different idea than the other two. His humble background was completely underappreciated in front of everyone present. This situation once troubled him very much, until today he suddenly figured it out——

The reason why he can stand here, with these highly educated and powerful people, has nothing to do with his origin or current status, it is just because of Chen Yan's wishes——

He does things quickly and is never picky about what he does. He is always available and has strong execution ability. The most important thing is that Chen Yan knows him thoroughly, so in some ways, he is much easier to use than those "talents".

Thomas Gilbert's eyes inadvertently swept across everyone present, and he had his own special understanding of the "ecological niche" that each person was in. Today's Z Group is in a very delicate situation, and any of Chen Yan's Decisions or even any ideas will create huge powers in a short period of time, and Thomas Gilbert certainly wants to have these powers - as long as he is not disgusted by Chen Yan.

Then, he needs to have a good relationship with everyone present... or perhaps have a deeper level of communication.

The operation has been going on for three hours. Everyone knows that the operation must not go smoothly. Most of them no longer think that Ned Roddy can survive the "death snowflake", and they all know that Ned Roddy can survive the "death snowflake". ·Roddy's death will definitely make Chen Yan very sad.

So they started chatting in a tacit understanding, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

"I don't know what's going on in Yanan City now. I guess there must be a big problem. Otherwise, how could they get here by sled?"

"Yanan City is a basin, and the main urban area will definitely be flooded. Smokey Lake and the cave landforms underground in Yanan City can provide a certain degree of buffering, but to what extent can it ultimately be buffered?"

"Due to the fact that the former Byron Weiss Group set up its headquarters in Yanan City, Yanan City has the largest [Lighthouse] in the Northern Federation. If the lighthouse is not damaged too seriously, we may be able to try to repair it. The radio frequency power of this [lighthouse] is very high and can transmit signals to Starlink through itself. If there are survivors in the Starlink colony, they may be able to receive our signal."

"I think this plan is feasible. This tsunami is actually a large tide, caused by the gravitational change of a star in the sky. It is not as scary as most people imagine."

"The lighthouse's operation and maintenance team is currently overstretched. Maybe we can mobilize them."

"Speaking of which, I heard that before the tsunami arrived, the STR-56 space city already had the technology to recombine elements. If we can really repair the lighthouse in Yanan City, get in touch with Starlink, and get this technology, maybe It can solve the problem of food shortage.”

"It's not optimistic. Element recombination still requires raw materials. If the whole world is really frozen, we won't be able to get so much carbon. Without carbon, even if we have the technology for element recombination, we won't be able to put it into production."

"Then the way out is still in Starlink."

"The problem with Starlink is that the Apocalypse broke out before the pioneering team found a habitable planet, so even if we go to Starlink, there will still be a shortage of resources, and if we want to feed these hundreds of thousands or even more people , the resources consumed and available must be huge and stretched at any time.”

"It's like this. Because no habitable planet was found, Starlink had to allocate additional productivity and develop nearly three hundred resource planets just to find various elements for reorganization. This greatly delayed The speed at which the pioneering team advances is determined by the total resources and productivity. If it is divided a little inside, it will definitely be a little less outside."

"I heard that the weather bureau in the logistics center has just come back online?"

"Well, when the maintenance staff were free, they were deployed to the Meteorological Bureau... But it couldn't change anything. There will be heavy snow for the next half month, and the clouds below the stratosphere will not change in a short time. "

"Will that kind of extremely cold snow... keep falling?"

"Yes, it's scary. Don't leave the mechanical hive easily. None of the people who went outside the mechanical hive when the snowflakes fell for the first time did not come back. Of course there are reasons for this, but the fundamental reason is still because of the temperature of the snowflakes. If it is too low, just touching it will cause frostbite to the skin and cause frostbite.”

“Aren’t there professionals analyzing that snowflake?”

"Those people from the Meteorological Bureau are doing it, but they are not very good at it. There will be no results for a while."

"Just like other departments in the logistics center, the main leaders and technical backbones of the department have been taken away, leaving only unprofessional people, even interns."

"It's actually not that bad. The database backup in the big data processing center of the logistics center contains most of the empire's technological knowledge. Although it does not include the Starlink part, it is enough for us."

"Hopefully there will be a good result."

"..."

Thomas Gilbert listened to their conversation and kept what everyone said in mind. Although these people were not all professionals, most of their classmates and teachers were scientific researchers in Starlink. Before the apocalypse came, they He understands the situation of Starlink very well and is also clear about Starlink's dilemma. If the only way out in the future is Starlink, he must keep their words in mind and think about it himself.While everyone was chatting softly, the door of the operating room suddenly opened, and the almost exhausted Crow walked out of the door.

"Damn it! This guy is really lucky!"

When Chen Yan was present, Crow always only spoke Tianshenzhou dialect, so others did not know what he was talking about and could only learn about the progress of the operation from his slightly relaxed expression.

Chen Yan was very nervous. This nervousness not only came from his concern for Ned Roddy, but also from his guilt - everything Chen Yan had promised to him had not come true, and now he actually relied on his mortal body to cross the border. Bing Mian came over. The moment he came into contact with Ned Roddy, who had fainted from the cold, Chen Yan already understood what faith he relied on to persist in walking, so now the guilt in Chen Yan's heart almost exploded.

"how is he?"

Crow was very tired, but the operation obviously went smoothly, so his tone was quite relaxed:

"The Prince of Hell walked out of the door and asked me to pull him back!"

The crow expressed the simple situation in the form of complaints:

"I don't know how he is holding on until now. One of his legs is lame and has become necrotic due to frostbite. He can no longer use it, so he just needs to cut it off and replace it with a new one."

"Fortunately, his head is well protected and he was not hit, so his consciousness is intact. I did not put a Turing chip on him, I just processed it. It may be a little difficult to use after he wakes up. It will depend on him personally." If he wants to transform his mind into omnics, we will customize a brain machine for him."

Chen Yan nodded vigorously, and the continuous good news made his inner guilt weaken a lot.

The crow speaks very quickly:
"After the deep frostbite was removed, there was almost no good flesh on his body. Fortunately, we still have spare biomass skin, so I gave him a set. Now he has just been treated with anti-inflammation and put into the cryogenic chamber. It will probably take You won’t be able to get out of bed until tomorrow morning.”

"Is there another person... That woman is so lucky, she was basically not even injured..."

Wu Wu glanced at Chen Yan with a look that said, "I feel like there's something wrong with that woman."

Malina... Although I don’t know how Messiah allowed Malina to cross the ice unscathed, she should have a way.

"And that girl...that girl's condition is very wrong..."

Crow hesitated to speak. His sense of smell was not as sensitive as Xiaoke's and he didn't realize what the girl meant to Chen Yan, so he said what Chen Yan didn't want to hear.

Chen Yan doesn't have any emotions because others say things he doesn't want to hear. On the contrary, he now enjoys such conversations without reservations and worries.

"I know." Chen Yan said to Crow with a very serious attitude and a low voice: "That girl is very dangerous, don't get close to her."

Crow's face turned pale. The word "danger" used by Chen Yan aroused his vigilance, causing him to stop his dangerous exploration of the girl.

"Go and rest, doctor, you have been too tired these days, so you have to pay attention to your health."

Crow nodded, glanced at the group of people behind Chen Yan from the corner of his eyes, and without any trace, he held back what he wanted to say and said:
"I have already told my colleagues on night shift about the next care. You don't have to worry too much. The operation has been completed and his heart rate has returned to normal. There won't be any problems."

Crow's assurance made Chen Yan feel more relaxed.

Crow left the company after saying goodbye, and the remaining people also left one after another after explaining the progress of today's task to Chen Yan, until finally, only Koschilanfur Klapeter was left in front of the operating room.

"Want something to drink?"

Chen Yan didn't dare to sleep. He was always dreaming these days. Once he closed his eyes, he would dream of some dreams that he couldn't understand. Everything in those dreams made him yearn for it, so the psychological gap when he woke up made him even more confused. pain.

"all good."

Xiaoke just wanted to talk, so he didn't mind having a drink.

Chen Yan took out an unopened bottle of white wine from the inside of his cotton-padded jacket. This skillful move made Xiaoke frown.

"Boss, I think you'd better stay awake when you wake up tomorrow."

Chen Yan nodded, accepted the advice, took out two small glasses from his pocket, poured the wine skillfully, and handed it to Xiaoke.

After half a glass of wine, Xiaoke cursed:

"I still don't understand why you all like to drink something with such a high concentration. What is the difference between this and industrial alcohol!"

Chen Yan rolled his tongue, which was astringent from the alcohol, and said:

"This is wine made from grain. We collected it from the warehouse of a wealthy merchant. It has no other use except drinking it. It would be a waste not to drink it.

Industrial alcohol must be used to make chemicals, and chemicals must be put into production to make daily necessities used by the people. In today's mechanical hive, not a drop can be wasted.

——I use this knowledge as an excuse for my own enjoyment. "

Xiaoke looked at the wine in the small glass and was stunned for two seconds. He drank the remaining half of the glass and his head felt a little swollen:
"Boss...what are we going to do next?"
