Chapter 358 Unlucky Pumas
After entering the interior of the earth's atmosphere, it seems that Pumas got rid of the pursuit, but its situation is still very bad.

Because the black poisonous needle injected into Pumas' body by the mechanical poisonous bee has already begun to function, and the toxin on it is personally prepared by the sound wave, and it is a powerful rust poison specially aimed at mechanical intelligent life forms.

So Pumas had already lost most of his self-awareness when it landed, and could only rely on inertia to turn into a burning meteorite and slant into the ground. Fortunately, it adjusted as much as possible before the impact. , hitting the ground at a small angle.

As a result, at the time of the impact, the geographical location where Pumas landed was quite special. On the surface, there was a layer of rock crust tens of meters thick, but there was an underground lake underneath.

It came obliquely, and after breaking through the upper layer of rock crust, it flew a full ten kilometers inside the underground space, and then plunged into the underground lake, and even plowed out at the bottom of the underground lake. A deep ditch several kilometers long.

Finally, Pumas stuck his head into the bottom of the lake at a 30-degree angle, and stopped with his tail tilted up.

This is the reason why Fang Linyan saw the "turtle back" raised highland at the bottom of the lake. It was completely pushed up by Pumas when he landed.

The location where Pumas smashed obliquely through the surface rock crust was more than ten kilometers away from the underground lake, and a small landslide occurred at that time, blocking the hole it smashed through, so people on the ground Even if you saw the meteorite coming, you still got nothing.

Sonic is quite confident in the rust poison he prepared. After confirming that Pumas was hit by multiple black poisonous needles, he thought that this guy would die, so he didn't pursue it further.

The fact is indeed true, and Pumas has been in a coma at the bottom of the lake since then. Fortunately, after it successfully landed, before it lost its last trace of consciousness, it entrusted everything to the artificial intelligence in the ship: Light Wheel .

Light Wheel has been trying every means to save Pumas, but the means are lacking.

Mainly because the rust poison on the black needle is quite vicious.

Artificial Intelligence: The maintenance robot made by the light wheel—that is, the kind of mechanical spider that will die quickly after getting close to it.
Because it is difficult to replenish its own energy, Light Wheel can't create maintenance robots without limit to consume the poison of rust.

At the same time, the poison of rust is still eroding the vitality of Pumas all the time, making it dissipate continuously.

It is also thanks to Pumas being in contact with the fragments of the steel fire source for a long time before, so his vitality is extraordinarily tenacious, and he can still survive under the corrosion of this rust poison for so many years.

And the life force dissipated by Pumas is a very special mechanical life energy, which is equivalent to a kind of radiation force in disguise.

Under the constant radiation of this kind of energy, the artificial intelligence: the light wheel is also constantly evolving. At this time, it should be regarded as a semi-mechanical intelligent creature.
Not only that, but also the native organisms in this underground lake were affected, and they also began to evolve into semi-metallic organisms,
The first ones to be affected are snails, crabs, and turtles, which can absorb calcium and make protective shells. They only need to evolve the ability to absorb calcium to make protective shells, making them absorb metal and make metal shells. ability.

Because the power of life emitted by Pumas has a fatal temptation for these creatures, most of these creatures will linger around the spaceship, forming an invisible protection for the spaceship ruins.

However, there are some small mutated semi-metallic creatures that are still preying, and are unintentionally drawn into the underground river while wandering, and then drifted out with the current.

At the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, a metal shell snail swimming out of the underground lake was captured by the outside world.

In just two years, this kind of semi-metallic creatures with metal shells began to be discovered one after another. There are more than a dozen of them circulating in the outside world, but they are all metal snails.
Under such circumstances, the semi-metallic creature finally attracted the attention of a prominent figure in the then flourishing Blood Umbrella Company.

This person is called Williams. He was originally a little-known researcher with mediocre technology in research, but he has made outstanding achievements in politics. He seized the opportunity and quickly rose to become one of the five directors of Blood Umbrella Company.

However, he is not willing to stop here because of his ambition.

At this time, the Blood Umbrella Company was divided into two factions: human body research and hybrid gene research.
Williams wants to improve his voice. From a normal point of view, he can only stand in line and choose one of the departments, and then poach corners to buy the directors of major laboratories, the heads of branch companies, and so on.

And these powerful figures have already been brought under the command of the rest of the big directors at this time, and Williams will definitely offend people if he wants to poach the wall.

Under such circumstances, Williams chose to find a new way and start a new one, opening up a brand new third faction within the Blood Umbrella Company: biological machinery!
Williams mobilized a large amount of funds and began to concentrate on research on captured semi-metallic organisms.

It was also because of his luck that he managed to catch a crab with a metal shell at this critical moment, and immediately made a breakthrough in biomechanical technology.

Williams is very mediocre in academic research, but he is an out-and-out genius in politics and marketing. He belongs to the kind who can sell plain water as a high-end nutritional product, and can fool a large group of people crying and shouting to buy it strongman.

What's more, at this time, he really took out an epoch-making achievement in his hand?
As a result, Williams immediately became even more powerful, enclosing land to seize a large amount of resources, and even attracted astonishing floating funds and venture capitalists to enter the game.

After obtaining enough resources, Williams immediately conducted a comprehensive survey of this place, and then spent a lot of manpower and material resources to secretly start building Veronica's laboratory, relying on the development of the so-called underwater ruins to achieve great success .

Therefore, the biomechanical faction was also born out of nowhere, because they had ready-made mutated biological samples to study, so they avoided many detours, and soon began to squeeze the other two major factions.

However, even the top management of the Blood Umbrella Company at that time, including Williams, did not know that the underwater relic they studied was actually a mechanical intelligent life that was still alive, but it was in a state of suspended animation.

Of course, if they found out, they might get even crazier.

Needless to say about the next thing, Blood Umbrella Company split up,
It’s just that Williams had already planned for a rainy day. When Veronica’s laboratory was established, a total of eleven addresses were built for the Three Caves of the Rabbit, and eight of them were all pretense, in order to cover up the real core laboratory.

***
As for Fang Linyan, it was already difficult for him to suppress his excitement.

Because, he has obtained a shocking secret from the remaining memory of Pumas.

That is the specific location of that small piece of steel fire source fragment!

When Pumas went to steal the energy block, he didn't carry it with him.

At that time, Sonic put a large piece of iron and steel fire source fragments in the base. If Pumas went with the fragments, the two originated from one body. Magically two in one.

Not only that, even if two fragments are close to a certain range, they are likely to resonate,

In view of the characteristics of steel fire source fragments, Pumas certainly did not dare to take it around, but made a shielding box with some materials found in the abandoned garbage dump.

Usually, he put the fragment of the steel fire source beside him in the shielding box, and the shielding box was buried in a hole he usually dug.

When Pumas was caught stealing energy blocks, it was equivalent to asking you to enter the urn and fell into an ambush circle. It was already a matter of doing everything possible to rush out of it. Of course, there was no spare time to go back to get the steel fire source fragments.

In other words, no matter how the thing was placed at the time, it should still be where it is now.

The specific location there is next to a mountain range on the back of the moon that can never be observed from the earth! !

As for this fragment of steel fire source, Fang Linyan felt that he could not even evaluate its rarity. When chatting with the goat before, he heard something that every world hides one or several ultimate secrets.

This ultimate secret is unique, once it is discovered and acquired, it will disappear forever.

Of course, in order to obtain this ultimate secret, it must be extremely difficult, close to death!
At that time, Fang Linyan joked that Noah's space did not know how many people were included in it, and those who were selected must be elites. If everyone becomes the selected ones and competes fairly, then there is something to say.

But since you know this, the rest must know it too,
Others have entered the space for a few years or more than ten years, and then come back to discover this ultimate secret when they are strong enough, how can they keep it?

The goat told Fang Linyan that there are conditions to obtain the ultimate secret, and it is very strict. For example, the personal attribute cannot be higher than that, and for example, it must be a tester or a contractor. If it is higher, it will directly lose the qualification .

This is similar to the achievement of "accompanying ten different female classmates home from school before the age of 14", "killing a hundred people in high school", etc., which can only be completed at a certain stage.

It will definitely keep the difficulty of obtaining the ultimate secret constant and under extremely difficult conditions.

After calming down for a while, Fang Linyan began to put away his thoughts, and then continued to patiently search for the structural diagram of the activated mechanical heart in front of him.
