Chapter 331 Antarctic
The gray-black shell metal paint flashed faintly in the dim snow, like a metal demon coming out of hell, stepping step by step as the snow gets closer and closer.
“Woo…”
A metal pole slowly rose and fell from the heavy snow. Just as the "metal demon" came, the rotating top was automatically aimed at it. A beam of blue light scanned up and down, and then gradually settled down as it was.
"Is it here?"
Wearing the Foxhunts-1 (Fox Hunter) exoskeleton armor, the neural mechanical interface in front of Lu Yuan's eyes received a signal of arriving at the destination.
Antarctica is in extreme night, and the sky is very dark and dull in many areas. In addition, the blizzards in this area are also increasing. The temperature is more than 80 degrees below zero. Ordinary humans cannot move here at all. Even Lu Yuan himself must wear exoskeleton armor with automatic temperature adjustment in order to move freely.
During the Antarctic Polar Night, most of the normal scientific research activities were suspended and ended, and few people dared to come to this place where the blizzards were raging. Lu Yuan did not even see traces of human activities along the way. I think even if someone had been here, the terrifying blizzard would have buried all the traces.
After walking a few steps forward again, suddenly, the ground suddenly began to vibrate. Lu Yuan was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the vibration to increase continuously until the snow suddenly surged, and a metal box like an elevator rose from the snow on the ground.
"Certified ID, iris scanning verification is completed, open the protective door..."
The metal lattice box is about 3 meters high, and the doors on both sides rotate and open, revealing the space inside for people to ride.
Lu Yuan did not hesitate and walked in first.
When he walked into the "elevator", the sliding doors on both sides closed again, and the entire metal lattice box quickly settled. In less than ten minutes, all the traces caused here would be covered by a blizzard, and there would be no strangeness.
The settlement speed of the "elevator" is quite fast, but it took more than forty seconds to reach the end with a "ding" sound.
Outside the door that opened was not the whole picture of the base Lu Yuan imagined, but a platform similar to the subway. A magnetic levitation "bullet" train with silver decoration stopped in front of the platform, and the length was only about ten meters. Lu Yuan walked over in surprise, and the gate of the train automatically opened to both sides.
"It's really OK."
Lu Yuan was a little self-deprecating. He took a lot of raw materials from the worlds of "Public Enemy of Machinery" and "Never End". Unexpectedly, Sunny actually concealed some tricks and tricks from him. Especially after it publicly rebelled, he used a lot of resources in other places without restraint.
One of them is that three additional bases were built. Although the scale is definitely not as large as the South Pacific submarine base, Lu Yuan still felt quite terrible when he built three bases within half a year.
Automated robots are indeed quite powerful in this regard. If Sunny is given enough resources and time, it may be able to build small bases on the moon in less than five years. After all, in the world of "Public Enemy of Machinery", technology is enough to achieve regular exchanges between the Earth and the Moon system, and a large-scale colonial base was built on Mars.
The magnetic levitation train slowly started to accelerate, and quickly increased its speed to 300 miles per hour in this claustrophobic tunnel. In just over ten minutes, the surrounding tunnel suddenly turned into a transparent vacuum pipeline, and the entire train actually drove on the bottom of the sea.
Lu Yuan looked at the portholes on the left and right sides of the train. In the depths of the dark and dull seabed, only the light emitted from the train was transmitted, breaking the silent underwater world.
But these lights were only scattered less than twenty meters away and were swallowed by the surrounding sea water. To be precise, the train was not traveling on the seabed, but in the sea water. It was a seabed abyss with a depth of thousands of meters down. No matter how strong the light was, it could not be directly shot in.
"What the hell did Sonny make this base?"
Lu Yuan's doubts did not last long, and soon, he saw the appearance of the Antarctic base with his own eyes.
On the neural mechanical interface, the Antarctic base, fully 3D modeled, is a circular metal sphere with a radius of 150 meters, suspended in the middle of seawater 50 meters to 200 meters below the ice. This size of buildings is incredible for today's humans, but compared with the South Pacific submarine base, it has not even reached a scale of one-tenth.
Among the information left by Sunny, the remaining two of the three bases are used as robots and other equipment production bases. The NS-5 cannot be produced independently because there are too many high-quality and fine parts and chips required by the body, but other backward models are enough to be produced by themselves in areas with abundant minerals.
It is located in central Africa, one of which is located in the country with abundant metal minerals. The other is located in Chile, hidden a hundred meters deep under the mountains.
The African base can independently produce 50 NS-1 robots or 100 tracked robots a day. These robots carry conventional thermal weapons and their combat capabilities are mainly reflected in the frontal battlefield and are not suitable for special operations. The Chilean base specializes in producing drones and spider-type robots, which are suitable for unique street combat use.
But to be honest, these robots can produce thousands of units, which may be able to defeat some small countries, but not enough to defeat medium-sized countries or big countries, let alone the United States. In modern warfare, superpowers like the United States have a variety of war weapons, and just face a few cloud bombs or heavy artillery fire, these backward tracked robots will all be destroyed.
Lu Yuan did not value these backward models of robots, so he quickly terminated the production task and instead allowed him to carry out other specialized production tasks.
As for the last Antarctic base, it is the reserve doomsday base given by Sonny.
Although the South Pacific Base seemed safe, there was a ruin of prehistoric creatures next to it. In addition, it contained many very dangerous creatures and conducted many biochemical experiments. Sunny was not completely relieved and prepared to evacuate in an emergency. This Antarctic base, a movable sea metal ball, even if a nuclear war broke out or even a more terrifying disaster occurred, was enough to serve as a backup for evacuation and "a comeback".
The magnetic levitation train began to slow down, and after driving into the inside of the ball along the vacuum pipeline, it slowly stopped. Although this metal ball cannot be compared with the size of the South Pacific submarine base, the radius of 150 meters is quite large, and several aircraft carriers can be easily loaded into it.
“…”
Silently, the train gate slid toward both sides, Lu Yuan walked out, and what he saw were two NS-5 robots.
“No. 6 and No. 7?”
"Yes, sir, I'm number 6."
"I'm number 7."
Sonny selected ten robots as test subjects for human emotional simulation. Robots No. 1-10 are also the most emotional robots. They are definitely not comparable to Sonny. However, judging from the information left behind, Sonny seems to have found a way to activate artificial intelligence emotions.
Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can play a huge effective role. Once it is used improperly, Lu Yuan almost died. However, because of Sunny's rebellion, he had to abandon artificial intelligence and not use it, and even opposed artificial intelligence. This approach is ridiculous and undesirable. With the development of technology, many fields will inevitably require artificial intelligence to intervene. Whether in terms of efficiency or other aspects, artificial intelligence is far better than humans.
On the one hand, if humans were building this base, they would basically not be able to handle it in less than ten years. There will be countless problems involved, which are far less convenient and fast than using artificial intelligence.
