Start with a Mechanical Hunter

   Chapter 69 Radiant Beast - Ocean Species

On the tarmac of the Auto City, the 'mechanical airship' ascended to the sky again, and blue flames spewed out from the six energy jets below. Inside the airship, numerous internal exhaust vents began to spontaneously vomit. This wonderful fluid structure made the passengers take off. For a moment, there will be no tightness in the chest, and there will be no so-called airsickness.

   First, the vehicles on the apron gradually became smaller, then the apron became a slap-sized square, and finally the entire Auto City became a small black spot.

   Du Zhaodi was not the only one on this 'mechanical airship'.

   In addition to her, there are Gao Gong, Zhao He, and a whole tactical team of exoskeleton warriors.

   I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but this time, it was still Major Zhou Cong who led the team.

   Zhou Cong's expression was complicated as always. After a long while, he sighed: "I hope this cooperation will be pleasant, Major Gao."

   That's right, senior engineer has been promoted, military adviser of the security regiment, rank, major.

   "Of course, we didn't have a good time working together." The senior engineer glanced at Zhao He, then looked at Du Zhaodi, who was seriously flipping through the documents, and said with a smile:

   "The trio from the factory back then came together again, and it looks like everyone is very happy."

   "You are right, Xiao Zhao."

   Zhao Machinery's face darkened, he took a deep breath, and forced a smile: "You're right, Major Gao."

   "I take the liberty to ask, is it the major or your captain?"

   Zhao He gritted his teeth, "I'm only a second lieutenant, how can I compare with you."

   "Tsk, the second lieutenant can make life worse than death, so what can the major do?" The senior engineer thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at Du Zhaodi with affection.

   "I see, it's a woman molesting!"

  Du Zhaodi gave him a dissatisfied look and shook the information in his hand.

   This ponytail girl is definitely a workaholic. She only got the 'committee qualification' yesterday, and today she started the application report for factory equipment.

   Zhao Machinery's face turned red, this dog food was poisonous, but thinking of his great future, he forced out an ugly smile.

   "I'm going to ventilate!"

   "He came to steal our technology," Du Zhaodi said without looking up while writing the report.

   "If you don't see the coffin and don't cry, how can these people easily admit defeat."

   "What are you going to do?"

   "Nothing," Gao Gong shrugged, "If they want technology, give it to them, open the market, and compete fairly."

  Du Zhaodi took a serious look at him to confirm that he was not talking nonsense, then stretched out a slender hand with a layer of calluses, squeezed the palm of his hand, and entered the working state again.

The    senior engineer glanced at the other party, pondered for a while, opened the system panel, and poured the experience into his first deputy.

  [You upgrade [Industrial Materials Science] to lv5]

  Lv5: Modify, repair, and synthesize most mechanical materials

  [You upgrade [Mechanical Transformation] to lv5]

  Lv5: Master the design principle of the mechanical body, and can upgrade the performance of some mechanical bodies

  [You upgrade the junior worker of No. 4 factory to lv5]

  [You trigger the job transfer task, the No. 3 factory intermediate worker]

  【Transfer task: Self-cultivation of technical jobs】

  Task content:

  1, old and new, find an old master to familiarize you with the process and types of work in the machinery factory

  2, Mechanical maintenance, carry out maintenance work on ten mechanical bodies

it is as expected!

  Junior workers' promotion tasks are nine times out of 10 related to the factory.

   All job transfer tasks are not born out of thin air, and will not be divorced from reality.

   For example, "child labor (factory is the simplest maintenance work, the level of car wash shops.

   The 'junior worker' is to master some knowledge of precision maintenance, build a small robot, change a prosthesis, etc.

   and 'intermediate worker'. It is the combination and maintenance of the 'advanced mechanical body', which requires the use of the production line.

   As for 'senior workers', it is the modular installation and operation of some large mechanical systems, such as aerospace systems, war fortresses, and prosthetic factories.

  The combination of theory and practical operation can become a real technical master - abbreviated as a technician

  The senior engineer grabbed Du Zhaodi's hand and said sincerely:

   "Director Du, take me with you, I want to enter the factory."

  Du Zhaodi blinked, and a big question mark flashed across her white forehead.

  …

   The place where Gao Gong and his party are going is the third link of the 'Classical Hunter Quest Chain', the cemetery of the older generation of mechanical hunters.

The   Hunter Graveyard is not within the scope of the Motor City. It is separated by two oasis and is close to the edge of the central desert.

   Next to the central desert is not called the Western Desert, but the Blue Desert.

   And the front-line mechanical corps is not against the land beasts. To be precise, it should be called the marine radiation species.

  …

   On most living planets, the number of marine organisms exceeds that of terrestrial organisms by an order of magnitude.

  Especially when the mechanical civilization carries out 'industrialization', or the carbon-based civilization carries out 'genetic reconstruction', the types of life on land will only decrease rapidly.

   The 'Hydra Battle' is just the outpost of the 'Beast Machine Disaster'.

   Its scourge is at the level of ‘Mechanical City’.

   And the 'Beast Disaster' is a Star Wars that covers twenty-two colonies and all colonies.

  The source of its soldiers comes from the ocean.

  Life battleships cooperate with mechanical species, or mechanized super marine life.

   In addition, the battlefield is an endless sea.

   is as strong as the 'mother city', and several colonies were also destroyed in the land and sea war.

  If there is no 'beast machine disaster' to cause the internal emptiness of the three mother cities, the final 'cyber tide' may not be able to launch successfully.

   You must know that behind the mother city, there is an advanced civilization at the galaxy cluster level.

   And what the front-line corps is fighting against is the seabed radiant beasts that come ashore from the ocean.

  The radiation field of the no-man’s-land seriously interferes with the quality of aerial photography, but it can still be seen that the map has changed from a large area of ​​red to a large area of ​​black.

  The 'Western Expedition' of the classical mechanical hunters almost pierced through the entire central desert.

  It is a pity that the sudden advent of biological rejection made this post-disaster self-rescue operation of human beings end in a bleak way.

  When the initial hope turned into the final swan song, Lao Sun became a deserter, or in other words, the tomb keeper.

   He stored some precious biological modification materials and some people's corpses in the place called the Hunter's Grave at the end of the Western Expedition.

   "Major Gao, please come to the cockpit."

   In the speaker, Zhou Cong's voice was a little nervous, the dozing senior engineer opened his eyes, gave Du Zhaodi a comforting look, and walked into the cockpit in three steps.

  As the hatch closed, Zhou Cong said no nonsense, "It's troublesome."

  The senior engineer glanced at the airborne radar, and the numbers on it were a mess. Through the window, you could clearly see that under the dull sky, there were dark clouds and storms visible to the naked eye, even forming a huge vortex.

   "The atmosphere is clogged with nuclear waste, how can there be thunderclouds?" The senior engineer looked surprised.

   "It's the thundercloud electric eel, a marine radiant creature. It can set off strong winds and waves on the sea, and can even overturn battleships. It is the biggest trouble for colony transportation."

The    senior engineer did not ask how the other party got ashore, but just stared at the ice flowers that kept popping up on the window glass.

   "What's your suggestion?"

  The driver wiped his cold sweat, "There are two options, one is to forcefully rush over while the thundercloud storm has not yet fully formed, and the other is to divert and go to the nearest oasis, and then sail until the storm passes."

   "How long does this take?"

   "At least five days."

  The senior engineer sighed, and according to the plan of the headquarters, he went out in the morning and returned in the evening. During this period, 3D technology printed a temporary factory, and airdropped various equipment. If everything went well, he would be able to manufacture 'biological weapons' that night.

The attack of the    beast tide will be within a day or two.

  Wait five days, the day lilies are cold.

   "What level of monster is the Thunder Cloud Electric Eel?"

   "According to the standard of radiation beasts, it is Class C, but the radiation species in the sea generally contain two to three times the energy of terrestrial radiation beasts."

   "There's no other way, I can only push through."

   "Turn off all electronic equipment and energy weapons, and adjust the energy furnace to the minimum power."

   "Get your landing gear ready for everyone, ready to drop at any time."

  The senior engineer paused, "Also, open the hatch and let me out."

   They are all old acquaintances and understand the abilities of senior engineers, so everyone immediately took action.

  …

  The hatch was opened, and the violent wind and waves hit Gao Gong's face like a knife. The 'enhanced motor' on his knees was fully powered. Against the strong wind, he followed the ladder and climbed to the top of the airship step by step.

   Fortunately, there are many gaps between the top armor and the armor, and there is a place to stand, so he doesn't have to worry about being blown away by the storm.

   took out the 'neural frequency amplifier' and hung it on his ear, and the senior engineer immediately sensed that there was a sound similar to the rapid tapping of a typewriter from the inside of the storm.

  According to Zhou Cong's statement, many colonial cargo ships were disturbed because of this sound, and then disappeared.

  The senior engineer took a deep breath and opened the radiation field.

   The next moment, a cloud of blue light enveloped the entire airship.

  In the 'line of sight' of senior engineers, the radiation field of the sky is more of 'charged particle flow' rather than 'neutron rays'.

   No matter how fierce the nuclear war is, it will not blow to the bottom of the sea.

   So marine radiation species is more energy variation than radiation variation.

  A blue eel with a length of more than ten meters appeared from the thundercloud. Its surface was flashing with circuit-like lines, and four pairs of 'dragonfly wings' grew on both sides.

   is like a big flying snake, looking at the senior engineer curiously.

  Gao Gong's complexion remained unchanged, and the transparent tentacles popped out of his temples, shaking slowly, with the help of the 'neural frequency amplifier', trying his best to exude a kind of friendly emotion.

   Generally speaking, as long as the high-level Radiant Beast does not take the initiative to attack, the low-level Radiant Beast will not come to provoke trouble.

   But this is just a general situation, and no one knows the habits of marine mutant species.

   Fortunately, this blue electric eel is quite well-behaved. Curiously, it bumped into the armor of the airship and swam over.

  The senior engineer was instantly relieved.

   So in the storm, the senior engineer opened the radiation field, disguised as an 'airship mechanical beast', and informed the driver of the direction through the 'sub-body', turning into a 'naked eye radar'.

   As long as you don't get hit by lightning, you should be fine.

  The wind changed from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, and the storm visible to the naked eye gradually appeared in the back. Before the senior engineer could breathe a sigh of relief, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.

   A dozen or so electric eels rushed over aggressively.

In the    storm, it's not that he never hit these thundercloud electric eels, but at most two or three, they all carefully avoided them.

   How can there be so many all of a sudden!

  These electric eels violently broke into the radiation field, and Gao Gong was moved, and quickly stopped the exoskeleton warriors who were ready to attack.

   In his own radiation field, he did not feel that the opponent had the ambition to "go down and go up", but a very anxious physiological state.

   This state is very much like rushing to poop, oh no, it's laying eggs.
