Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

Teresia was already working overtime to prepare new aid supplies. After sunset, the supplies would be delivered to the abandoned mine under the cover of night.

Besides, she couldn't do much more.

Feeling powerless in her heart, Teresia looked out the window at the sun that had gradually climbed to the highest point, and sighed with some worry.

"Amiya... I hope everything goes well with you..."

-------------------------------------

Time gradually passed to the sunset of the day, in the abandoned mine.

After a day's rest, ACE, Huang, and Rosemary, who had been injured before, generally recovered and returned to the task.

After taking over the supplies from a new round of support from Rhodes Island, they carried them all underground.

This time with the help of the robot, they laid a simple freight track in the mine tunnel to transport the large amount of materials that will arrive later, as well as the relics that may be dug out later.

The camp is still an open space next to the underground lake, but this time in order to avoid the recurrence of the previous tragedy, they have built a temporary defense facility with light and strong carbon brick materials.

After all this is done...it's time to continue exploring the underground lake.

Everyone gathered by the lake and pressed the power button of a robot.

"Welcome to use, the UNIVE-02 multifunctional robot will serve you wholeheartedly." "I said Amiya, can this thing really work?" Huang patted the shell of the robot in front of him and let out a 'bang bang' With a look of distrust in his eyes, "It looks stupid, it doesn't look like Lancet and Castle at all."

The two codenames mentioned by Huang are two well-known robots in Rhodes Island. They are both masterpieces of Rhodes Island's engineering department. They are equipped with the latest model of AI and can serve as guards and medical officers in missions. member's responsibilities.

Their AI is so perfect that if they are not talking face to face, they may even mistake the other party for a real human being.

The robot sent by Rhodes Island this time is a little different from those two, giving people a feeling of being dumb, and they can't even respond to their conversation.

Even if Huang patted its shell hard a few times, the robot named UNIVE-02 did not respond in any way.

"No way, the time is too tight, it was just a very ordinary robot, and it didn't even have the function of launching into the water," Amiya looked a little helpless, "But Lucille didn't have time to install a new AI for it, Let’s make do with it first.”

It took only twelve hours from the time they sent back the news to the arrival of Rhode Island's support, and this robot was the most valuable item among them.

Amiya can be sure that Rhodes Island should have no plans related to underwater exploration before. The ability to transform a robot that can conduct underwater investigations in such a short period of time is the result of the overtime work of the engineering department. If the requirements are higher If not, I am afraid that some engineers will die from overwork.

"Useful... well, that's fine too." Huang shrugged, and didn't say anything more.

Although this robot seems to be a bit of a dish, she is still very happy that she doesn't have to go into the water to explore it herself.

So, next Amiya started to set various parameters on the control platform of UNIVE-02, because there is no relationship with the addition of AI, various mission objectives need to be added manually.Fortunately, Ke Luxie gave a more detailed user manual for this, and it is not particularly difficult to follow the above.

After a lot of tossing, Amiya finally set the parameters required by UNIVE-02. After a brief debugging, after confirming that there is no problem, she finally completed the preparation work.

"The system is self-inspecting, please wait... Raytheon Industry, the quality is trustworthy."

"Illegal module detected...complete... The engine is in good condition, the ECU is in good condition, and the remaining running time is 3 hours, 56 minutes and 42 seconds..." UNIVE-02 completed the system self-inspection without a trace of mechanical sound.

"The current task has been accepted, this machine will end the current task when the energy consumption reaches 60%."

With the sound of falling into the water, UNIVE-02 sailed directly into the lake. With the engine driving the blades, UNIVE-02 left a long track in the lake, and then penetrated into the eyes of everyone. out of reach.

"that's it……"

In the next two hours, UNIVE-02 will follow the route planned by Amiya in advance to explore the specific situation in the water until the energy is insufficient.

However, the running time of four hours is still too short, and I don't know where UNIVE-02 can explore.

Afterwards, they went to the console of UNIVE-02 and stared at the console's screen intently. After a while of shaking, a very blurry picture was displayed on the screen.

It's a vast orange, and you can only see the blisters rolled up by UNIVE-02 when it moved forward, but nothing else can be seen clearly.

After looking around the console of UNIVE-02 for a while, the screen suddenly went black, and the words 'signal has been interrupted' appeared on it.

"Amiya... this thing is not reliable at all! It's only been a few minutes?" Huang said with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing the prompt on the screen, she thought that UNIVE-02 was broken... Of course, this is not the case.

"Don't worry, this is normal." Amiya explained, "The wireless communication between UNIVE-02 and us can only maintain a short distance, and the signal is seriously affected in the water. It should have entered that Let's go."

Water will cause serious interference to the radio transmission. It is fine if the distance is short, but as long as the depth exceeds 100 meters, the radio will basically not receive any signal, so the information that UNIVE-02 can transmit back is quite limited.

Coupled with the death of the previous batch of disasters, it caused serious pollution to the underground lake, which caused the current embarrassing situation.

In fact, if you want to establish a connection with an underwater robot, it is best to control it through a cable, but the place where UNIVE-02 needs to explore is very far away, and it is not realistic to pull a cable that is several kilometers long.

Underwater, for most Terrans, is a rather unfamiliar environment, and basically no one has conducted relevant research, and the engineering department of Rhodes Island has no good solution for this, so they can only It's as important as it is now.

After hearing Amiya's explanation, Huang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Is that so? Haha... I really don't know."

"However, since the signal cannot be connected, how can we know the underwater situation?"

"Don't worry about this. UNIVE-02 has a built-in storage device, and the pictures taken along the way will be stored there. It's the same to watch the video after UNIVE-02 comes back."

"Our goal is to see if there is any danger of other people underwater. If UNIVE-02 can come back smoothly, you can directly watch the video. It doesn't matter if it doesn't come back. This just proves the existence of underwater For other dangers, we must be more vigilant."

After stopping Amiya's explanation, the others have no doubts in their hearts, and the next step is to wait patiently.

While waiting for UNIVE-02 to return, the others were not idle either.Because the underground source stones were too polluted, they returned to the ground in batches on the previously laid track minecart, and then modified their protective suits, adding the diving module sent by Rhodes Island.

In addition, they still have many other things to do. Rhodes Island sent more supplies that night. Whether it is the sorting or storage of these supplies, they need to be done manually. This will be a long time to come. For a period of time, the guarantee of their survival.

Time passed by bit by bit under such circumstances. Of course, UNIVE-02 did not make them wait for four hours. After about three and a half hours, those who were still staying by the underground lake heard a clatter With the sound of clacking, UNIVE-02 has successfully climbed onto the shore, and the indicator light representing the remaining power has turned on red.

"The battery power is low, please charge the machine as soon as possible." The machine's reminder sounded throughout the camp, and the operators put down what they were doing and came to the lakeside.
