Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Yes, that's the thing. The city you mentioned was called Chernobog. You said that many infected compatriots who agree with your ideals have gathered there, so you want to go there and lead them to fight. "

Tallulah nodded. She still remembered that Alpha asked her strangely, "Do you know where Chernobog is?" Tallulah answered like this at the southeastern border of the empire.

"Why do you want to go there? To go there, you have to traverse the entire Ursus Empire from west to east. Have you ever thought about the price your integration movement will pay? Why not go to the nearest city?" Alpha's eyes were playful at that time. Tallulah couldn't forget.

But she didn’t quite remember how she answered at the beginning. She only remembered that during that period, she frequently communicated with Chernobog’s infected activists, and the information collected from all aspects made her think that Chicheng It is the most suitable place to start a rebellion right now.

"I am not a cadre of the integration movement. My identity is just a doctor who provides free clinics in the snowfields," Alpha said seriously, looking into Tallulah's eyes. "I will not and have no right to interfere with your choices."

"Shouldn't we go to Chernobog?"

"My inference to the contrary is that Chernobog is probably your only option."

"Why?" Tallulah stared in surprise, she couldn't understand why Alpha said this.

"Yes, a conspiracy." The experienced captain heard Alpha's voice.

"Ha, maybe. I can't tell the truth here, because the information I know is not guaranteed to be accurate. I can only wait for time to confirm it."

The captain nodded, he understood that the secret could not be revealed easily.There are too many such secrets in this land.

"I'm sorry that I can only play riddles with you here," Alpha said slowly, "It's just that there are too many things that I don't really understand in depth. If I make rash judgments here, it would be the biggest disservice to everyone. Be responsible.”

Alpha placed a book in Tallulah's hands. It was not a beautifully bound printed book, but one that she had hand-copied in Ursus writing and then bound.

"Against the Dulin theory?" Tallulah and Shuangxing, who came closer, looked at the neat handwriting on the cover of the book and were confused. Opposed to the Dulin tribe? Why should they oppose the Dulin tribe?

"It's not the Dulin tribe, but a person named Eugen Dulin... Ancient people, this is an ancient book. Who he is is not a question that needs to be studied deeply for you. The specific contradictions have been explained in the book. Clear."

"What is this book about?"

"It is not a story," Alpha looked at the manuscript with an inexplicable enthusiasm in his eyes. "It is a theory, a work that provides a new way of looking at the world. I am not its author, I just put it into practice. Whoever copied it."

Tallulah turned over the pages of the book. The preface at the beginning of the book was different from the esoteric and obscure tomes she had read. The author only described his ongoing work in a popular tone, although she had never heard of the various terms above. But the clear thinking makes them not affect your reading.

"Tallulah, this book will provide a philosophical theory and methodology that is completely different from the education you have received in the past. They may be able to help you understand the situation you are facing in the future and find answers to your inner questions."

"Thanks, I'll read it to the end."

"There will be a few more books later. I will pack them up and send them to the camp. They may be helpful to your integration movement, or they may not be suitable for the acclimatization of this land. Please be realistic when reading them. "

The lighting here at Base Walker is very sufficient. Tallulah simply sat on the wooden post, spread the book on her lap, and started reading. Froststar curiously came closer. She wanted to see why Alpha said that this book was possible. Can help integrate movement.

Seeing this scene, Alpha pulled the tall Wendigo warrior aside and said, "I'm going to leave soon, Captain. I have a few words that are only suitable for you. No matter where you are going next, always keep the team's strength Put discipline and ideological construction as the highest priority, otherwise you will not be far from becoming gangsters and bandits."

"thanks for reminding."

11.Farewell to the snowfield part.1

Alpha's students have helped her dismantle the tents placed around the base walkers to serve as wards and other facilities, as well as other unfolded equipment.When Benben put the last cargo box on the stack in the base walker's cargo bay, Alpha was ready to go.

In the early morning of the next day, Alina, Koloff and Petrova walked from different directions and came to the base walker. They met Alpha who had been waiting here for a long time.

Koloff is a shield guard under the Patriots. Due to his long-term use of Originium technology, he became seriously ill with ore disease. After a serious injury, he volunteered for initial clinical surgical experiments.After the operation, this strong Ursus man, who is two meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms, recovered very well.

Petrova is a member of the Wendigo team. She is much younger than Koloff and a girl younger than Froststar. She is an infected person who was liberated from a certain mine by the Wendigo.During a battle to liberate a mine, her ore sickness suddenly worsened. Fortunately, her teammates managed to survive and send her to Alpha.

Koloff was carrying his own marching rucksack, carrying his shield in one hand, and the package he was carrying in the other hand containing the shield guard protective equipment used in battle. Petrova also carried her own rucksack and magic weapon. stick.

Alina came a little slower. At the end of the field, she was saying goodbye to a group of children reluctantly.

During yesterday's discussion, Alpha proposed that the Integration Movement would send three people as dispatches to become temporary members of the Star of Life, and that he would hire them to help him with his actions, as guides or to handle general matters.In this way, the three of them do not need to bear the medical expenses themselves, and can also settle a certain amount of remuneration.After leaving the snowfield, the rewards were settled directly by Alpha, which guaranteed their future life and development.

Because of this, the two infected warriors brought their weapons, and some small things that did not require Alpha's personal action could be taken care of by them. The ship's kitchen was temporarily left to Alina.

"Doctor Alpha, good morning." The tall infected warrior had a gentle smile on his face. After talking with their commander Bodro Kasti, he no longer had any doubts about his departure. concern.Doctor Alpha, whom everyone respects, wants to leave the snowfield and find a way to simplify the treatment of ore disease he has mastered so that it can be promoted to the entire land. This is the goal they have been striving for.Whether it is the captain or other comrades, they all said that there is no need to worry here, they just need to follow Alpha's footsteps along the way and help her do more things.

"Good morning." Alpha responded to their greetings. She noticed that Petrova did not have the Origin Stone ice crystal she usually carried when fighting. The cold breath disappeared from her side. Now she is a A very ordinary Ursus girl.

"Ah, are you curious about the set of Origin Stone ice crystals?" Petrova saw the look in Alpha's eyes, "That's my sister's thing. We have to go very far this time, and the ice crystals are too far away from my sister." Used it." It seems that those Origin Stone ice crystals are indeed an extension of Frost Star's power. I hope she can control the use of her Origin Stone skills.The ore disease harmed her body, but it also gave her great strength. She repeatedly rejected offers of treatment on this grounds.When we meet again, we must take care of her ore disease, Alpha thought.

"Alfa, we will come back. The children are very reluctant to leave us." When she was about to enter the carriage, Alina stopped and looked back at the children who were eagerly saying goodbye to her on the distant field ridge. , there is something unpleasant in my heart.

"I'll come back, I promise." Alpha rubbed her soft gray hair. At the moment, she can't place a piece on the chessboard of the earth, but she believes that she will eventually hold her own king.

……

As a large-scale armed scientific research vehicle, the Base Walker is designed to have a standard crew of about 50 people. The tall vehicle body is still very spacious after accommodating various laboratories, scientific research scanning devices and a small production line.It has to be said that the Karak Northern Alliance is indeed very good at optimizing the living conditions of the crew to the maximum extent under limited conditions.

The crew dormitory of the Life Star is a two-person room with bunk beds. Opposite the bed is a built-in desk and bookshelf, with a small bathroom attached.Such cabins are mainly distributed on both sides of the vehicle, with a total of thirty cabins.

The only regret about the habitation module is that there are no portholes, only a display screen to simulate a window.This is because of the modularly installed one hundred millimeter ultra-carbon nanofiber-dislocation-free silicon crystal composite armor on the side of the vehicle.This is the standard vehicle armor of the Northern Alliance Fleet. The specific performance has not been tested by Alpha, but she is certain that there is no way to destroy this interstellar era armor by only using the full performance of her body.

The current living space on board is too ample for a crew of only four people, so Alfa gives them great convenience and allows them to make their own choices.However, the three people who were used to living a hard life all thought it would be better to save some resources as much as possible. The two girls Alina and Petrova decided to live in the same living cabin. The location was chosen in the middle of the base walker, so that they could rush quickly. to various locations within.

千::.',寻.:!,;免"".费!.,'小;,?说!裙!;!2,.;??5??5:.'?;5??,.9,5,3:;!;?0,'.0　　科洛夫最后选择了两人隔壁的舱室，住的近一点平时生活上更方便照应一些。

Alpha gave them two hours to place their luggage, and then informed them to assemble at the base walker's bridge.The Base Walker is a quite large land craft, and Alpha sent Benben to lead them to prevent them from getting lost and straying into any dangerous places.

The bridge of Base Walker was equipped with various advanced facilities, which dazzled the three of them. This was their first time entering the core area of ​​Base Walker, and many things were unheard of for them.

"Everyone, you will be considered the crew of the Life Star for a long time to come. At present, I do not expect you to take on any important functions. First of all, you need to learn how to operate on this vehicle. A safe life.”

This Base Walker uses a miniature muon catalytic fusion reactor as the power core. This reactor and a large number of equipment around it are both sophisticated and dangerous. The extremely high output power means that an accident will occur, which is highly likely to be catastrophic.In addition, main guns, close-in defense gun systems, carrier-based aircraft manufacturing and ejection devices, as well as other ship-based weapons, and even various scientific instruments are quite dangerous in the presence of people who have not received professional training. .

"This is the standard crew manual for the Base Walker. You must read the contents of this entire book." Alpha handed several large books to the three of them. "The purpose of the manual is to guide personnel to quickly understand the work on the Base Walker." and the knowledge necessary for life. For more information, Disel will be responsible for teaching you."

Diesel's image appeared on the holographic display table next to him, "Hello, I am Diesel, the current shipboard artificial intelligence of the Life Star. You can call me anywhere on the car."

"Okay, that's all there is to say. The most important thing is, don't enter places you don't know without permission!"

12.Farewell to the snowfield part.2

Looking down from the bridge, one can see people on both sides of the slow-moving Base Walkers, lined up to see Alpha off.Shield guards stood on both sides of the road to maintain order, and no one acted irrationally.

Alpha adjusted the lights on the bridge and silently bid farewell to this group of simple and enthusiastic people who had accompanied him throughout the winter through the thick observation window.She doesn't know when she can come back, but she will do her best to give them the possibility to change their lives.

She never expected that one or two books could change the snowfield, or even change the living conditions of the people on the entire continent of Terra.That is not materialism, but nihilism and utopian worship.Therefore, she only gave Tallulah a few of the most classic works. It was commendable enough to be able to give them a little inspiration.

The change of social system is inseparable from the development of productivity and production relations, and she needs to find a way to spread the advanced knowledge she carries.

She was going to find Rhode Island, if it really existed on this land.Judging from the setting of the game, no matter how complex the members of the island are, its deep intelligence and relationship network rooted in various countries on the continent of Terra, as well as its goal of liberating the infected, make the cooperation between the two parties possible. It's theoretically possible.

Alpha confirmed the time. It was now the first half of 1096 in the Terran calendar. Her arrival had prevented the Black Snake from taking Tallulah for the time being, but it was certain that the trajectory of the integration movement under Tallulah's leadership was , there is a high probability that they are still affected by Black Snake's plan, and they will eventually go to Qicheng.

At this time, Rhode Island may be cruising on the route near Longmen-Chernobog.Although they don't know how much information they know, they should have some predictions about what happened in Chicheng. This will be their best chance to rescue the "Doctor".

Therefore, heading towards the dragon gate is Alpha's best choice.The Life Star can maintain a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour in most road conditions. According to the map of Ursus given to her by the Patriot before leaving, this journey will not be too long.

"Alfa, have you thought about where we should go?" Xiaolu asked curiously during lunch.

"First go south, leave the Ursus border and enter Casimir, then go east, pass through Letania, and go to the Dragon Gate of the Flame Kingdom. We will walk along the road to collect some funds through trade and use this to collect intelligence."

"As far as I know," Koloff put down the ladle of beetroot soup and asked curiously while carrying the bread, "Dragon Gate is in the southeast of Ursus, adjacent to the border. Wouldn't it be closer if we go directly through the Ursus Empire? ?"

"I don't want to have to deal with the nobles and bureaucrats of Ursus every day. Your status is still a guerrilla. Aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble?"

"That's right." Koloff nodded, then lowered his head and continued to deal with the cabbage soup and Leba in his hand.

"Actually, there is another point. If I choose this route, I can have more contact with the residents and cultural environments of different countries and regions, and collect more diverse biological samples. These may all be helpful to my research."

……

After dinner, Alpha took the three of them to the drone preparation and take-off and landing platform on the top deck of the Base Walker. The high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance drone that had shown its prowess many times in the snowfield was undergoing final preparations here. Ben is using a robotic arm to load the last high-energy battery into the drone's energy compartment.This electric drone using a flying wing configuration can easily stay in the air for more than 24 hours and has a range of thousands of kilometers. With its help, it is not difficult to navigate with a simple map.

"I've always been curious about how this big iron bird flew into the sky." After getting permission, Koloff touched the wings of the drone. This brief touch even made him think about this unmanned aircraft. It feels like the wings of the aircraft are stronger than the shields I used before.

"Reliable power, aerodynamic design, and qualified materials, and finally coupled with complex and sophisticated sensing and control systems. It sounds simple and complicated at the same time, doesn't it?"

"Can it take people to the sky?"

"It can't take you to the sky. It only has two small [-]-kilogram pylons, which are usually used to mount additional reconnaissance pods. The two pylons combined cannot hold a guy as strong as you."

"Fifty kilograms? Then maybe Petrova can go to heaven?" The shield guard uncle said with a smile that he had discovered a blind spot.

"Hey!" Petrova was frightened by his hearty smile. She was curious about what it felt like to fly in the sky, but when she saw the thing called a pod hung on the hanging point under the drone's wing, She didn't want to be stuffed into that thing!

"Ahem...that's not what drones are for. Taking people to the sky is the task of large aircraft, so don't make this little mistake."

"Alpha," Alina raised her hand like a student, "can we have a chance to fly up to the sky and have a look?"

After hearing this question, Alpha thought for a moment, "The production line on the Life Star cannot produce large manned transport aircraft... But if we can go to a place with high mountains, I might be able to take you to paraglider."

The flight of the drone was about to begin. Everyone left the drone deck, which was completely taken over by Diesel. Under the leadership of Alpha, they went to the overtime production workshop on the bottom floor.Beilian's base walkers can produce and assemble azimuth turrets or other small facilities and equipment on their own, or recycle materials on a small scale. The quality printing technology they use makes even the scientists in the Sky Garden call them science fiction when they see it. .

Before departure, everyone in the integration movement loaded a batch of source rock ore delivered from the mine onto the truck. Alpha is using the recycling decomposition pool and purification equipment to produce pure source rock. In this process, unfamiliar minerals are The efficiency is not high. In order to ensure the stability of the Origin Stone during processing, the speed needs to be particularly controlled. However, by the time you reach the next settlement, you should be able to produce a lot of pure Origin Stone.

Standing in front of the purification equipment, Alina looked at the pure Origin Stone that was gradually taking shape in the vacuum hood.She has a good understanding of the transactions in the Originium energy market. After all, she often needs to help Tallulah sell and settle the Originium minerals seized from the mines.Looking at the crystal clear amber crystals in front of her, she took a deep breath.

"Alfa, according to this efficiency, it will take less than a week for the pure source stone to be produced here, and the total price will exceed one hundred thousand gold rupees."

"It's not bad, just getting some change is enough." Alpha is not exaggerating. During a long-distance attack, the base walker's consumption of various resources is very scary. According to the current purchasing power of Ursuskin Lu, he only needs to replenish water and a small amount of food. In terms of consumables, one hundred thousand gold rupees would only last half a month.

13. The long way eastbound part.1

On the way out of the snowfield, Alpha bypassed the nearest settlements. The base travelers still had sufficient supplies, but the small settlements near the snowfield could not replenish various deep-processing supplies. At the same time, they would also encounter Wu who were wary of the snowfield. It is better to avoid SARS officials and pickets of infected people.

The territory of Ursus as a whole has a long and narrow shape running from east to west. The distance between the north and south is not too far. The powerful Diesel will not drive tiredly. The living facilities on the base walker are comprehensive and there is no need to stop and rest. Alpha and his team move every hour At an average speed of eighty kilometers per hour, it took more than three days to leave the perennially frozen snowfield and arrive at the border of southwest Ursus.

The Third Army of the Ursus Empire has been responsible for the encirclement and suppression of the guerrillas. Although their troops cannot build a blockade around the snowfield, they can still set up checkpoints at various checkpoints without any problems.

Base Walkers can directly bypass some of the bayonet points with their strong off-road capabilities, but there are always terrain hazards that cannot be bypassed.At this time, the only option is to activate the banknote ability and use the pure source stone synthesized by the production line to clear the way.Fortunately, the officials of Ursus have always been very flexible in this regard. After all, it is the task of the princes and nobles to set up a blockade and maintain the blockade, and the pure source stone received in their pockets is a pleasant gold.

Fortunately, the bureaucrats in Ursus are very sensible. At least so far, there has not been a situation where Alpha had to use force to break through the border when traveling together.

On the morning of the fourth day, when I looked back, I could no longer see the edge of the snowfield and pine forest. Driving in the muddy black soil, the base walker with huge tires and strong off-road capabilities had to slow down.While everyone was having breakfast, a sharp siren sounded throughout every deck.

"Desir, what's going on?"

"If a large wild animal attacks, please go to the bridge immediately to deal with it."

Large wild animal attack?Attack the nearly 70-meter-long base walker wearing heavy armor?This sounded so outrageous that Alpha immediately wondered if he had encountered a supernatural creature such as a giant beast.

She quickly ran to the bridge and looked at the field of view returned by the peripheral viewfinder. Not only her, but also Koloff and Petrova, who were following nervously, almost burst into laughter. The trajectory of the base walker It must have run over the nest of a wild arthropod called a sword flea. These wild animals, which are more than one meter long and can spit out thorns, were frightened and rushed out in groups, spitting thorns at the base walkers to defend them. own territory.

The Star of Life is not moving very fast now, and the passage through this piece of muddy black soil is tragic. At a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour, these arthropods can actually catch up.Then there was a clanking sound, and the chitin spurs spat out by the sword fleas hit the outer armor of the Star of Life, leaving white traces of their broken tips, which could not even scratch the skin of the wheels.

"What kind of mini youth version of the native Hydralisk is this?" The irritable and dishonest native creature made Alpha dumbfounded. "The environment in Terra is really harsh. Wild animals have learned to attack from a distance."

"Alfa, I looked at the map. There is a village not far from this nest of sword fleas. Should we deal with this group of sword fleas? This kind of animal is very aggressive and will attack people in groups and cause serious damage. Serious consequences.”

"Okay, it's here." Alpha flipped a few switches on the center console. The two defense machine guns at the rear of the car stretched out from the armored protection compartment. The heavy anti-aircraft machine gun weapon station fired at [-] rounds per minute. The rate of fire created two deadly tongues of fire, just like the scythe of death, killing dozens of sword fleas in an instant.The sword flea itself can barely resist the carapace and fragile body of ordinary swords, and is so fragile in the face of large-caliber armor-piercing incendiary bombs.
