Son of the Stars

Chapter 72 Gifts
The heavily armed officers of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau of the North American Region cautiously approached the "suspicious" cave.

The heavy-armored robots opened the way in front, and these big men with a height of nearly three meters were welded with huge and thick armor plates in front of them.With a full 300 kilowatts of drive power on each drive leg, these robots are truly mobile fortresses.

Above the reloading robot, hundreds of palm-sized four-axis drones are taking off in an orderly manner.Each of these drones is loaded with a 200-gram warhead.Four brushless motors with a maximum power of 200 kilowatts can accelerate them to [-] kilometers per hour in two seconds.

This is a group of defensive grenades with a charge of 200 grams that can roar past at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

Coupled with the high-power laser cannon on the fixed-wing drone in the sky, and hundreds of fully armed officers of the General Investigation Bureau... No matter how many cultists are hiding in that hole, they will definitely fail completely before the overwhelming force superiority .

They are full of confidence, their steps are steady, their steps are brisk, and their eyes are firm and clear.

The cave at the bottom of the cliff is barely big enough for a heavy robot to pass through, and approaching the cave rashly is obviously not conducive to the safety of the officers of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau.

As a result, AI-controlled traversal machines are the most suitable scouts for this situation.Several traversing machines with most of their warheads removed plunged into the cave at a very high speed.

Then, on the wall made of tough white polymer compound, a dazzling flame was smashed out.

On the inner wall of the cave about 30 meters away from the entrance, there is a piece of white polymer material that is very out of date and out of place with the cave.This material is slightly older than the protective materials used in North American research, and basically belongs to the top equipment used in North America in the early days of the Great Crash.

High strength, corrosion resistance, water and fire resistance and stable properties.This polymer composite material, which was originally developed to make toys, quickly became the new favorite of the North American defense sector.

The discovery of this kind of secret base is nothing new. After all, the coalition government has become the only legal government in the world under the banner of saving the nation.But after all, this "handover" process happened a bit hastily, and at the same time it was a bit "accidental".

Many underground bunkers with a high level of confidentiality, or the addresses and information of research institutions are only known to a very small number of people.After experiencing the baptism of the Great Crash, these people have almost become a number-an ordinary number in the statistics of the dead of the Great Crash.

Paper materials and other records were slowly destroyed as the government gradually collapsed, leaving behind one secret base after another.This cave seems to be one of them.
-
If such a high-level base was discovered in normal times, the coalition government would have to issue at least three or five high-level medals to commend the discoverer.If there are other special "items" in the base that can help the coalition government improve research in certain fields, this reward can be more "grand".

But the discovery of such a location during the arrest of Wenger Cheklavsky ... was not a surprise, but a shock.

No one would light a bonfire every two days in this obviously high-level bunker.

Clearly, this is a trap.

"Retreat!" Director Anton saw this through the screen, and he shouted the order to terminate the operation without hesitation, "Give up all equipment, everyone evacuates immediately!"

However, this order is still one step too late.

A huge bump suddenly appeared around the cliff, like a pizza crust propped up by a rolling pin.Then, the bottom of the cake was broken.High-speed flying soil and stones quickly filled the entire area.The shock wave pushes away the surrounding air and raises the boiling point of the water in the air.The originally gaseous water quickly condenses into tiny liquid droplets.

It was as if a white spherical dome suddenly appeared—and spread rapidly to the surroundings.

About ten seconds after the white dome disappeared, the drone that provided the video signal was suddenly hit hard.Under the influence of shock waves, fixed-wing UAVs cannot even maintain the integrity of the airframe.

Before the crash, the signal transmission sent back a few frames that were not very clear.The combat command AI of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau quickly made an analysis-at least eight explosions occurred at the same time, and the equivalent of each explosion was at least 200 tons of TNT equivalent.

According to the records of the airborne equipment of the fixed-wing UAV, in the light of the explosion, there is an obvious peak in the ultraviolet region, corresponding to a wavelength of 121.7nm.

"Fuck..." Director Anton froze on the spot, and then slowly fell on the chair behind him.

Eight 200-ton TNT equivalent explosions occurred at the same time, and the absolute lethal area was 18 square meters—almost equal to the size of 25 football fields.This range can completely cover the locations of all North American operators.In other words, none of the officers who carried out the arrest were spared, and all of them died in the line of duty.

However, things are not over yet.

Six minutes after the explosion, the video of the fixed-wing drone, which had been blacked out, suddenly recovered its signal.

An unusually pale face appeared on the screen.This is a middle-aged man, and he seems to be an aborigine from the Europa region.

"Mr. Director, hello." Although his face was as pale as a dead man's, his voice was still very stable and natural, "Oh, by the way, we should meet for the first time, so... let me introduce myself first."

He blinked and flashed a broad, emotionless smile towards the drone's optical head, "I'm Wenger Cheklavsky. My code name is 0042, and you can also call me Dr. 42. "

"The scene you just saw through the video is a welcome ceremony I personally planned... well, part of the welcome ceremony." This inexplicably has a name, a code name, and a young version of Wenger Cheklaf "I'm not like the other Wenger Czchowskis - I don't like to follow orders," Ski said.

"I don't like your research on the big crash, and I don't like your explanation of quantum release syndrome." Doctor 42's smile is still bright, but there is still no emotion, "God's calling cannot be vulgarized, God Purification is a blessing not a curse. You have committed a great crime."

"We are just the executive department. If you have any objections to the research content, you can go to the researchers for trouble." Chief Anton looked up at the screen, and his voice was played by the speaker carried by the drone—it sounded like Slightly distorted, and the sound is choppy.

"Oh, I will." Dr. 42 grinned, "Soon, they will be able to receive my gift."
