Data Wasteland

"There are too many guards. Let's change the method."

Back to the station, the Seventh Princess said.

"You mean sneaking in?" Chen Xing asked.

"As long as you avoid the searchlights, the alarm will not be triggered." The Seventh Princess analyzed. This is not groundless, but a well-founded speculation. Within a ten-thousandth of a second, she played back every detail before and after the alarm was triggered, and performed tens of thousands of calculations, and finally came to this conclusion.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, the two returned to the ground again. The distant factory returned to calm, and the front door was empty and silent, only a few searchlights swept back and forth in a hurry.

Everything was so peaceful and peaceful, as if the battle had never happened before.

The two avoided the searchlights and came under the high wall outside the factory.

Chen Xing opened his hands forward and made a hug gesture. Since you can't enter through the gate, you can only use unconventional means.

Bring sister teleport.

This is the name he gave for this new skill. It's easy to understand and very straightforward.

The Seventh Princess' expression was a little unnatural and seemed very reluctant, but under the pressure of Chen Xing's serious gaze, she couldn't think of another way, so she had to take off her steam armor and honestly accept the shame.

With her feet clamped around the man's waist and hooking her neck, the posture was so ashamed that she didn't dare to open her eyes.

"Noisy!"

An arc flashed in the corner, and the two disappeared out of thin air.

In the next second, Chen Xing, who embraced the beauty, appeared inside the wall.

"Okay, come down."

Probably in a hurry to hunt for treasure, Chen Xing didn't have trouble with the other party this time, so he put it down directly after entering.

Searchlights in the factory fired back and forth, and mechanical guards patrolled around.

The two quickly locked onto a pile of mechanical garbage nearby, and the cat hid behind it.

After arriving at the safe point, Chen Xing began to observe the situation in the factory.

There are several large workshops scattered around, some of which are surrounded by walls, and some are just iron shelves. Countless pipes traverse overhead, ranging from a few meters high to tens of meters high. The pipes are all iron pipes, varying in thickness, some as thin as a bamboo pole, some as thick as a tree stump, and even super giant pipes with a diameter of more than three meters.

The pipes are full of screw caps, large and small, and appear dark and wet in the dim light.

Every few seconds, there is steam overflowing from the cracks in the pipes, making a sneer. It was wet everywhere, and water vapor permeated every corner of the factory. The ground was pitted and filled with greasy water.

From a distance came the clacking of the press and the rhythmic clicking of the machine.

Chen Xing observed everything silently, trying to find a perfect way to avoid the guards and enter the depths of the factory.

From the history and physics textbooks of the first life, he roughly knows the structure of the factory with steam as the main power.

Generally, there are boilers, steam pipes, power conversion devices, transmission devices and various production workshops.

A boiler is a place where coal and oil are burned to provide thermal energy to a factory, and a steam pipe, as the name suggests, is a device that conducts steam. The power conversion device is a steam engine, which converts the steam into mechanical power, and then through the transmission device, the power is provided to the equipment in the production workshop.

"Crunch, crunch..."

Suddenly, Chen Xing's thinking was interrupted by the noise. Following the reputation, two small round-headed robots are moving here. Behind them, they dragged a cleaning truck several times taller than themselves, and they wobbled on the road, their actions were very funny, they looked like two tumblers.

"Dudu, garbage, recycling, recycling..."

After a while, they came to the garbage dump, holding a large pile of mechanical garbage and loading it on the truck.

Observed from close, their shells are rusty, the joints are running stiffly, and the springs are exposed at the joints, which are very old and broken. It seems that the mechanical monsters are also divided into six or nine grades. The most worn-out ones have been arranged to clean up the garbage.

Probably the equipment was aging. Even though the two mechanical cleaners were only a few meters away from Chen Xing and Princess Seven, they didn't find it.

Chen Xing observed for a while, and made a sneak attack gesture towards Princess Seven. The latter nodded understandingly, and then the two of them walked around to the back of the mechanical cleaner and started at the same time.

I saw the seventh princess leaping gently, passing a distance of five or six meters, and a hand knife accurately struck the mechanical cleaner's neck.

Although he was wearing a heavy steam armor, it gave people a light and dexterous feeling, quietly and instantly.

"Bhacha!" Hearing only a soft noise, the chubby head of the mechanical cleaner fell off.

Chen Xing on the other side teleported over, piercing the mechanical neck with a tactical dagger in his hand. Pushing a card, a burst of black smoke came out, the two shining red eyes quickly dimmed, and the ball-like head fell down, completely silent.

After the two small things were killed, the two of them pushed up a cleaning vehicle together, and used the volume of the cleaning vehicle to block the searchlight shooting.

In a blink of an eye, the two came to the entrance of one of the workshops unharmed.

Looking inward, countless mechanical equipment stands among them, dozens of mechanical crawlers are running, and they don’t know where to go.

On the side of the entrance, round-head robots dragging cleaning trucks lined up to carry **** onto automatic crawlers.

Rows of round-head robots stand in front of the crawlers, operating their hands to disassemble and sort the garbage on the crawlers.

These round-head robots look newer, with flexible joints, and not as old as cleaners.

It seems that this is a waste recycling workshop.

"Go, go inside."

A few minutes later, the two sneaked into the next workshop with the help of various large-scale machinery and equipment.

This is a parts production workshop. Different parts are conveyed on different tracks, such as gears, screws, bearings, clockwork, springs, and so on.

Then they went to the next workshop.

Countless little robots wearing engineering hats turned around several mechanical guards, screwing, welding, and beating.

Needless to say, this is the mechanical guard assembly workshop.

The two explored several workshops one after another, all workshops for assembling mechanical monsters.

"We are going to the factory manager's office, the important things should be there." said the seventh princess.

If there is any undercurrent relic that maintains the operation of the factory, its location will be in the most important part of the factory.

For a factory, which place represents the highest will of the factory?

Of course it is the manager's office!

"Where do you think it will be?" Chen Xing asked in a low voice.

"If you were the manager of the factory, where would you locate the office?" Seventh Princess asked rhetorically.

"A place to see the entire factory!" Chen Xing said.

The two found the ventilation pipe ladder in the workshop and climbed to the roof of the workshop.

With a wide view here, Chen Xing couldn't help being surprised at a glance.

He had never seen such a big factory, with countless large and small factories, densely packed, stretching all the way to the horizon.

In terms of the productivity of this factory, it is estimated that he and the seventh princesses are exhausted, and there is no way to keep up with the production speed of the guards.

"There is no particularly prominent position." Chen Xing observed for a while and came to a conclusion.

There are so many factories that you can't see the head at all, so there is no place to see.

"Except for the manager's office, what is the most important thing for this factory?"

"Boiler room!"

The two thought of this place at the same time.

For a factory with almost unlimited productivity, it is the support point for everything.

The power source of the steam plant is the boiler room!

"Look along the steam pipe!"

"Ok!"

The two sneaked on the roof, quickly found the incoming steam pipe, and jumped on it.

"Ah, it's hot!"

With huge heat coming from under her feet, the Seventh Princess quickly jumped back to the roof. Although steam armor also uses steam, it has coolant for cooling and heat insulation. The temperature of the steam pipe is very high, and you will get burned if you are not careful.

"Don't be afraid, I can be immune to heat!"

Chen Xing opened his hands and showed a smirk.
