The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 229 Players please take your place

In preparation for departure, Samuel not only wore a heavy-duty spacesuit, but also carried a radio signal booster.

Originally, the three of them planned to go there in one car, but Luo Bo said a few words, saying that the dry dock was seriously damaged and communications were lost, so there was a high probability of an accident...

"Everyone, let's do a brief analysis. If the space station is unable to even communicate with the most basic external communications and ask for help, and a ship happens to arrive, what would you do if it were you?"

Amanda thought for a while and said, "Let's make a call in the language of lights at a suitable place."

"That's right!" Luo Bo praised: "In short, we need to do something relatively eye-catching to let the people on the ship know that there are living people in the space station so that rescue can be carried out.

This is a question of active and passive. The people on the space station should have been anxious, but in the end there was silence. So what happened?

Can't see the boat? Or can't even do simple interactions? No matter what it is, it means that the situation is not generally bad. After all, there are not only a few people on the space station. "

Taylor also complained timidly: "My contract does not include space walking."

In this way, Samuel became a pathfinder. After all, this was based on the law, and androids were inferior.

As a result, Samuel encountered a disaster not long after leaving the capsule. An explosion occurred inside a certain area of ​​the space station, causing debris to shoot out and steel cables to break.

That is to say, Samuel is a bionic man, with strong strength and quick reaction. He does not retreat but advances at critical moments. He reaches the space station door in time and stabilizes his body.

If it were an ordinary person, it would most likely become space junk. Even if the spacesuit was not damaged, salvage operations would have to be carried out. However, the Torrance has no professionalism at all in this regard.

Now, Taylor wouldn't go on a spacewalk at all unless Samuel lowered the space bridge from the main control room.

Amanda's attitude is completely opposite. For so many years, she has been wanting to know the reason for her mother's disappearance. Now she finally has a clear clue, but it is very likely to be lost due to an unknown disaster accident on the space station, so she wants to Race against time to rescue key items.

Amanda became stubborn and could not be persuaded by anyone. Robbo said at the right time that he was willing to go with her so that she could be taken care of.

No one here is stupid, so they naturally know that this reason is far from sufficient.

Especially Verlaine, she has realized that even if Robbo spends a lot of money to take a boat, even if he is not plotting against Amanda, he must have a close relationship with him, and she cannot be indifferent to the risks he takes.

Amanda also asked the reason straightforwardly, and said playfully: "Don't say that you are a noble person who has escaped from vulgar taste."

"There must be a good reason, but it's just not convenient to announce it. We'll talk about it later."

As Rob said, he turned to Verlaine and said, "Captain, we have to have a few words in private."

Verlaine looked at Robbo seriously, and after a while, nodded.

So the two walked to a corner of the bridge and talked quietly.

Luo Bo said: "Captain, our friendship is average. After all, we have only been together for a short time and have not experienced any major events.

But there is obviously one in front of me.

Although I don't quite trust your character, I do trust your desire for money.

If you do as I say, your reward will be doubled when you return. "

Verlaine suddenly breathed heavily.

If Luo Bo's promise counts, she can go back and buy a new ship, or retire early and continue to operate this merchant ship with a semi-playful attitude.

"If there is a serious violation of law..."

Luo Bo answered directly: "Then what I will give is not double, but three times!"

With 500% profit, some people dare to trample all laws, not to mention that the starting price given by Luo Bo is ridiculously high.

At this moment, Verlaine wished that Robbo had done something seriously illegal.

As for whether Luo Bo has enough ability to pay, this was already tested when the two parties first came into contact.

Luo Bo has a platinum card that can be checked at any time. The wealth qualification represented by this card can be compared like this: selling starships is like ordinary working-class people buying bicycles...

"You say it, I'll do it." Verlaine replied in the affirmative.

Luo Bo smiled and said: "The first rule is that I will definitely come back.

So as long as I don't come back, you can just wait. If you don't get it, I won't get the money.

Article 2: Only I, or persons in my presence, are allowed to board the ship.

I will temporarily give you a point-to-point quantum communicator to keep in touch at any time.

The last one, Torrance goes to geostationary orbit on the other side of the planet. No contact, including proximity, with Sevastopol unless summoned by me. "

Verlaine frowned: "It seems that you are well aware of the dangers in Sevatopol."

Luo Bo said calmly and meaningfully: "Actually, it's not a big secret. But there are some things that will be implicated once you know too much.

If I were you, I would start thinking about how to convert the huge remuneration into controllable wealth instead of being frozen for inexplicable reasons. "

"Okay, you win, at least now I can handle the polygraph test calmly."

"Very good. What is needed is such professionalism. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to. Seize the opportunity to make a fortune, then enjoy life and do what you like to do."

Robbo changed the topic again: "Pay attention to Miss Taylor, I'm not sure whether she is acting or if she is really just an unlucky person who doesn't know what's going on.

In theory, Wieland Yutani Company is willing to use an entire space station as a platform, so there is no reason why it should not be willing to spend a small amount of money to hire some extraordinary people to do the dirty work.

Also, everyone has a price, and Connor cannot be unreserved, and must be on guard against others. "

"Understood!"

"For the sake of a better life, I hope you really understand." Robbo said and gave Verlaine a throat microphone.

This gadget is quite high-tech. It is a very thin transparent collar that does not reflect light even when it is applied. You have to stare at it from a very distance to find that it is attached to the neck.

As for the earphones, they are small enough to be inserted into the ear holes, like a short and thick hollow tube.

The two tried it out and found that they could hear clearly even at whispering levels...

The deal was completed here, and soon after, Rob and Amanda both passed the cable and slid to the port portal of the space station.

This time there was no accident, and the two of them entered the cabin smoothly.

After completing the sealing, sterilization, and oxygenation operations, the two officially entered the space station.

While the two of them were helping each other take off their bulky spacesuits, Amanda asked stiffly, "Can you tell me the reason why you got involved in this incident?"

"Okay, but before that, please allow me to take a vaccination. No matter how outrageous what you hear next, please stay calm enough.

Please also believe that I am not just idle, and I went to such a strange place to play adventure games with you. I'm here for my reasons. "

Amanda was only ten years old when Ellen (Lynn) Ripley disappeared. It can be said that from an age when her outlook on life has not yet been formed and her mind is filled with hero worship, Amanda has lost an important life mentor, which had a huge impact on her.

Amanda is not a good girl. In the eyes of outsiders, this girl can be regarded as a typical bad-tempered and unsociable girl.

So at this moment, facing the nagging Luo Bo, it's not surprising that he responded with hehe.

Luo Bo didn't take this offense seriously at all, he said: "Let me start with what you are most concerned about.

In fact, Wieland Corporation knew what happened aboard the Nostromo all along. "

These words were indeed attractive enough, and Amanda stopped moving.

"Move, move, it's not safe here. Our half-dressed status is equivalent to telling predators that we are ready to eat at any time."

Rob's joking words brought Amanda back to her senses, and she continued to take off her space suit, but she did so with great strength and fierce movements, making the clothes squeak as she squeezed them, as if she was taking off her space suit.

Luo Bo was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "Guess why you hid it?"

Amanda squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Because of profit!"

"Yes! It seems that your connection ability is quite strong. Let me briefly talk about the past."

Next, Robbo gave a brief account of what happened on the Nostromo.

Because it included Ellen Ripley's coping process, Amanda's blood boiled and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Finally, Robbo concluded: "I have more information than Wieland Company. Because I got the report of your mother's eventual escape.

Don't ask me how. I can't answer your question at the moment.

All I can tell you is that your mother is still alive. But whether you can see her in your lifetime depends on your ability. You must at least have a professional-level salvage boat, right?

With your current job, you obviously can't make this kind of money.

It can only rely on aliens with this level of weapons.

Don't say that money is dirty. If you don't have money, you won't have a mother. It's as simple as that.

If you don't do it, others won't stop such prohibited experiments. If you do this, you can at least guide and restrict it to a certain extent, so that the Wilander Yutani Company will not stage such tragedies unscrupulously again and again.

You can even take it a step further. That is revealed to the public.

After all, if this alien comes to Earth, it won’t be long before the human home planet falls. Even if it is to protect their interests, other companies will not just watch Wilander Yutani mess around.

After all, detailed investigation reports, reliable audio and video materials, samples, and relevant supporting evidence are all necessary.

How about it? Do you want to take this risk? "

Amanda stared at Rob without blinking.

Luo Bo looked at him calmly.

After a while, Amanda said: "If I do it, can you be the bridge to implement the follow-up operations?"

Luo Bo smiled and said: "No."

Amanda was speechless.

"To you, I am a passerby, not a noble person. I am not interested in the value represented by the alien. If I want to obtain samples, I don't need to wait until today, and use the current method.

Of course, I also have my own demands. We will let you know when necessary.

How about it? Do you want to start a journey of collecting evidence? "

Amanda said with an unhappy look: "Do I have a choice?"

"You think there isn't, but to be fair, there always is."

Amanda asked back: "So you have given up your persistence for many years."

“Of course, for example, working, you need to make ends meet, and you have to give up the job you have been doing for many years.

And from now on, almost all the energy and time invested in this work are basically meaningless. "

"Sorry, I can't do that and I don't want to."

Luo Bo smiled and said nothing.

The same concept or principle may be understood differently from person to person, or even from different angles.

For example, in the concept of 'mother', in Luo Bo's perception, mother is only part of the memory.

As for Amanda, her mother is tied to her life goals. She is the source of struggle, the meaning of hard work, and the supreme vision. Its importance is self-evident.

So, there really isn’t much to say, it’s true to act.

Amanda looked around, seemingly looking for something handy to use as a weapon.

Luo Bo advised: "In hand-to-hand combat, even weapon-level androids are no match for aliens. Ordinary weapons, especially cold weapon substitutes, will only become a burden."

Amanda said angrily: "Then you can't do it with bare hands, right?"

"With bare hands, it is easier to inspire fighting wisdom. Unqualified weapons will become false comfort for luck. Are you sure you need this false sense of security instead of seeking truth from facts to face dangers and difficulties?"

Amanda was silent and said after a while: "Let's go to the main control room first."

Luo Bo nodded: "That makes sense."

The two began to go deep into the space station.

The space station does not exist to receive tourists, so it is not so warm as to post schematic diagrams of facilities and passages everywhere.

However, good design concepts are always copied, so most space stations have an almost unified logic.

And Amanda has lived in star ports and space stations for a long time, so even if it was her first time, she was very confident in finding the main control room and did not hesitate to act.

Soon, the two felt intermittent shaking, which was very insecure like when a spacecraft enters the atmosphere.

Amanda's professional knowledge came into play and she analyzed: "A vibration of such intensity is usually caused by a problem with the power system, and a reactor failure is suspected."

Luo Bodao: "As far as I know, aliens like high-heat and humid environments, especially when laying eggs and hatching. Therefore, the reactor cooling tower is most likely to be the hardest hit area."

Amanda couldn't help but ask: "Can the fully armed Space Marines handle it?"

"As far as I know, it's not possible. The aliens are mostly assassin templates. You can understand them as timid, cunning, ferocious, and crazy lions. In terms of urban warfare, street fighting, and indoor warfare, they have a lot of environmental bonuses.

On the contrary, human heavy firepower is difficult to exert its effect, and light infantry cannot use its hands and feet freely, making it easy to be attacked and killed. Especially when you are alone. "

"Then we won't really be shirtless, right?"

"I suggest giving priority to tasks. After all, there are at least hundreds of people working and living on this space station for a long time. If they are all made into incubation capsules, hundreds of aliens will be born.

Due to its reproductive efficiency, the main group is probably fully grown now, and there is no chance of winning against them. "

While talking, a disaster scene blocked the way. Several pieces of the floor drain's grating-like passage floor were removed, exposing the pipes below.

One of the pipes was spitting fire, and the flames went straight up, and the metal pipes running on the top wall were roasted red.

Amanda observed carefully for a while and said: "It is most likely the gas waste pipe. The source of the problem is not here. The drain is deliberately opened here as an emergency treatment method."

Luo Bo touched his chin: "It may also be a man-made way to block the road. Such an open flame is much more effective than stacking boxes or other obstacles.

However, the alien can easily switch between walking upright and walking on all fours, and the ventilation ducts can also be passed normally by adult aliens. "

Amanda thought deeply and said: "If we understand it from this perspective, there are indeed ways to set up some obstacles and mechanisms. Maybe we can take advantage of it."

"Let's find the ID cards of the personnel of this space station first and then talk about other things. After all, if there has been a confrontation here, then relying on ID to pass through is probably one of the conventional means for humans to resist aliens."

Amanda nodded, and the two of them took a detour through the ventilation duct.

Since this is a space station where oxygen completely needs to be prepared and supplied, the central air conditioning and ventilation ducts are extremely developed, like a maze.

When Amanda entered it, she couldn't help but be on tenterhooks, worried about being killed around the corner or something. Moreover, the ventilation ducts were claustrophobic and the scenery was the same. Coupled with the dim backup red light source, it was very uncomfortable.

The detour was not long, and he soon emerged from the ventilation duct.

Luo Bo reminded: "Aliens have considerable animal habits and social characteristics. They are more accustomed to hiding in the day and coming out at night. Especially when they cannot find prey for a long time, most of them will sleep in their nests to reduce consumption.

The sentinels scattered outside are very sensitive to sound and can distinguish between the sound made by equipment and the movement caused by people.

Therefore, try to stay quiet and try not to run. The rhythmic vibration frequency when running is too easy to identify. "

Amanda nodded, indicating that she was taught, so the two continued walking, and soon after, entered a work cabin with a hub function.

Here, cabinet-style computer terminals are available.

Amanda stepped forward and tried to operate.

Due to insufficient permissions and damaged folders, only a small part of the shared files can be viewed.

One of the titles, titled 'Site Removal', caught Amanda's attention.

Luo Bo also watched together.

The general meaning is that the station in Sevastopol is about to be withdrawn, but the company is not prepared to make a big move. Instead, it will hire external contractors to complete some necessary processes.

To put it bluntly, it's like hiring someone to move.

This shared file is used by leaders such as the space station director to appease employees.

On the one hand, it means that the removal of the site requires the cooperation of the site's employees who are familiar with the situation and can earn overtime pay.

On the other hand, I would like to warn everyone not to make mistakes. Everything must be registered. If you are found to have stolen equipment, the Law Enforcement Bureau will teach you how to behave.

Luo Bo looked at the marked date and chuckled: "Isn't this a coincidence? It feels a bit like the factory was converted into a fighting animal cage, and the people were waiting to leave.

So, was it an accident, or was it just a warm-up foreplay in the beast cage? "

Amanda glanced sideways at Rob: "You mean, we are gladiators?"

"It's mainly you." Luo Bo explained: "At least that's what I think. You follow your mother as a role model, and you are highly similar in many aspects. Maybe some people are looking forward to actual combat data with your participation."

"how about you?"

"I'm also looking forward to your performance, as well as my own."

"Has anyone ever told you that you are a little crazy?"

"I lost the word 'a little bit'. I am a different kind of firework. One of my problems now is that it's hard to pretend to be human..."
