Chapter 152 Pulling Electrical Wires and Network Cables

The basic renovation of Varela City.

In the most popular terms, it is actually pulling the wires and network cables——

In a sense, the basic conditions of Varela City are quite good, even far superior to the dilapidated Kukan Underground City.

Let’s talk about the external environment first.

Putting aside the hidden omnic crisis, the rich resources of Varela City are not something that Kukan Dungeon can touch.

According to the detection drone, there are many small-scale mineral veins in the forest around Varela City, which can provide a lot of help to Varela City.

The surrounding environment is also far better than that of Kukan Underground City - fresh air, warm sunshine, spacious living space, even a normal person knows how big the difference is between the two times.

Let’s talk about energy issues.

There is only an old fusion reactor inside the Kukan Underground City that is running out of fuel.

Varela City has an antimatter battery from the People's Federation.

If nothing else, this antimatter battery is enough to keep the current city of Varela running for hundreds or even thousands of years!

As for the higher-end city control aspects...

According to Hong Chengdong's description, there are only some basic computer equipment in the underground city that can only be used to control fusion reactors and other electrical devices.

This is not difficult to understand.

Once bitten by a snake, they were afraid of well ropes for ten years. After the Omnic Crisis, the survivors of that year were bound to develop a fear and loathing of high-end computing equipment.

But Varela City is different. Varela City, which is made by omnics, looks rustic on the surface and does not seem to have any high-tech products. But in fact, its internal city control system is absolutely top-notch!
Otherwise, the original church would not be able to accurately monitor every believer in the city!
Not only that, the performance of the central computer array located inside the North Church is also quite powerful - by the standards of a first-level civilization.

For the above reasons, reusing these old circuits and monitoring lines to build a city-wide power grid and local area network has become the first step in the transformation of Varela City.

Just like the foundation of a skyscraper, since all subsequent transformation plans will rely on these power grids and local area networks, this seemingly simple step is actually the most critical step.

Expecting that the half-baked "engineers" who had lost their cultural inheritance in Kukan Underground City would definitely not be able to complete this work, Chen Fan could only take over the design work on himself.

Fortunately, Chen Fan is not alone.

With the help of Yi, he quickly completed the basic design plan of Varela City.

The whole process can be described in a simple sentence - Chen Fan is responsible for the quacking, and Yi is responsible for the random killing.

With the design plan and various drawings, all work seems simple.

The church's warehouse stores a large number of spare parts. All these half-hearted "engineers" have to do is assemble and install them one by one according to Yi's instructions.

In just a few days, these free laborers from Kukan Underground City completed the first phase of Varela's demolition project.

……

On the other side, the north main church of Varela City.

When Chen Fan left Varela City, Xu Huai's biggest purpose as pope was just to stabilize the situation in Varela City.

As a mascot in a sense, Xu Huai actually had only one course of action.

She would rather do nothing than make a mistake.

With this in mind, Yi compiled a fairly complete set of automatic control programs for the central computer array in the North Cathedral.

It does not require any outside intervention and is sufficient to cope with most conditions of a farming civilization.

But with the addition of Kukan Underground City, the development potential of Varela City has been greatly increased.

In just a few days, Varela City achieved a triple jump, directly entering the industrial age and information age from farming civilization. Naturally, the original set of automatic control programs could no longer keep up with the times.

In addition, omnics have discovered anomalies in Varela, and now Varela city may be attacked by omnics at any time.

After a comprehensive evaluation of Xu Huai's various performances, the corresponding restrictions were relaxed: the newly established control system is no longer an automatic control program running on a single machine.

As the Pope, Xu Huai has the right to operate and interfere with this control system.

This means that Xu Huai can control the entire city of Varela by relying on the North Cathedral just like the previous pope!

After learning all this, Xu Huai didn't have much excitement on her face. While listening to Yi's instructions and getting familiar with the fool-like operation interface in front of her, she asked Chen Fan a question that had been bothering her for two days:

"The explosion outside the city... was probably done by you, right?"

"Is the situation dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous." Chen Fan didn't hide anything and nodded directly to admit, "I encountered a group of blind omnipotences. In order to give [Yuan] a little shock, I used a single-soldier anti-matter bomb."

Although he had expected it in his heart, Xu Huai still fell into a long silence when he heard this sentence.

Individual anti-material bombs...

An explosion with such terrifying power is actually just a single weapon? ! !
Just as Yi was introducing the operating procedures of the drone guard system to her, Xu Huai felt a little touched in her heart: "Those intelligent machines will come again, right?"

Chen Fan nodded, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"It has been two days since the anti-matter bomb exploded. So far, the detection drone has found no traces of omnic activity around Varela City."

"Not only Varela City, but no omnics have been found near Kukan Underground City."

"perhaps……"

Chen Fan shrugged and gave a guess: "The power of the anti-matter bomb really shocked [Yuan]."

"Of course, it's also possible that the other party is unable to deploy more omnics in a short period of time."

[Varilla City’s central control system has been updated. 】

Looking at the information that appeared in front of him, Chen Fan stood up from his chair with a relaxed expression, reached out and patted the cold server array beside him, and said half-jokingly: "I'll tell you, your place is too cold. No wonder he wears such thick papal robes." Xu Huai, who saw Chen Fan's intention, did not show a smile on his face.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and her originally lively expression returned to its usual calmness: "Ready to leave?"

Chen Fan nodded without hesitation: "Varilla City has begun to get on the right track. I have to continue to carry out the investigation mission."

"Work hard, and maybe I can apply for you as an investigator assistant in the future."

Looking at Xu Huai who had her eyes lowered and fell into silence, Chen Fan, who thought she was still worried about the omnic problem, smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the omnics can't touch the city of Varela."

……

Outside Varela.

The Hercules bulldozer, which had been parked for two days and nights, began to hum again.

Holt stood in front of the open metal city gate, raising his head and looking at the Hercules bulldozer slowly retreating under the push of the bottom crawler.

Perhaps aware of Chen Fan's gaze behind the porthole, Holt stood in awe:
"Your Excellency Chen Fan, I wish you a safe journey!"

"The above are the words that the Pope asked me to convey."

The roar of bulldozers drowned out Holt's voice.

The next second, the Hercules bulldozer that had retreated a certain distance deftly turned its body and sped towards the due north of Varela City!

【drop! 】

[Task record has been updated. 】

[The comprehensive assessment report on Varela City has been successfully uploaded to the Dangerous Technology Management Bureau. 】

Chen Fan, who had just left the North Main Church, heard a reminder from Yi: [You have a new cross-universe communication request. Do you want to answer it? 】

Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the "Call Alert" marked with [Internship Academician] in the holographic interface.

wipe.

The one who settles the accounts after the fall is here!
Under Isa's somewhat smiling gaze, Chen Fan's face fell and he nodded reluctantly: "Let's put it through."

next second.

A young, familiar face wearing a pair of rimless glasses appeared in front of Chen Fan's eyes.

"..."

Looking at each other speechless.

"cough!"

Song Ziliang looked a little strange, and he coughed slightly: "I have already read the mission report..."

Seeing Song Ziliang's strange expression, Chen Fan's face froze, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger: "If there is any punishment, just tell me, I can bear it."

"...Well done." Song Ziliang looked at Chen Fan with a surprised look on his face, "Penalty? Are you talking about the punishment for illegally operating a drone?"

"Isn't it just hitting a tempered glass with the drone? It's a trivial matter!"

"Don't worry, I have helped you eliminate the violation record."

Chen Fan was confused: "...?"

At this moment, he even suspected that Song Ziliang had taken the wrong mission report.

Drone hits tempered glass?

Does he still have this illegal operation?
Looking at the mission record presented in the holographic projection, Chen Fan recalled that insignificant thing.

In order to seize control of the Hercules bulldozer, he directly let the drone crash into the bulldozer's porthole glass.

but……

That's it? !
Hitting the glass is considered a violation, but what about other operations? !
"wait wait wait……"

Chen Fan's eyes widened and he looked at Song Ziliang in front of him in bewilderment: "Academician Song, do you have nothing else to say to me?"

"Huh?" Song Ziliang looked at Chen Fan in surprise, and the smile on his face gradually grew stronger, "Have you guessed it yet?"

Chen Fan's heart trembled.

Guess, guess what?

Permissions downgrade? Or was he deprived of his status as an investigator?

While Chen Fan was thinking wildly, Song Ziliang's voice came again: "After joint assessment by the head of the Yihe Administration Bureau, it has been determined that the current risk value of Varela City has been reduced to a safe level."

"Congratulations."

"You have been successfully promoted to official investigator."

"From now on, you are an official employee of the Dangerous Technology Administration."

"Employee benefits will be distributed normally, but you should be aware of the situation there. Physical benefits may have to wait for a while. I can issue benefits such as credit points to you first..."

Seeing Song Ziliang's non-stop chatter, Chen Fan was completely confused.

What the hell?

Not only was there no punishment, but he was even promoted? !
