doomsday exile

Lu Di silently stood back.

He and Yan Long are too conspicuous.

Nothing else, because they "wear" so little!

The pick-up staff at the Kunlun base were very enthusiastic, and they offered a three-piece suit upon meeting - medicine, thick leather boots to keep warm, and a long down jacket.

This down jacket is not the same as the normal style, it is very heavy, the inner liner is made of high-quality down, and it is tightly sealed with two layers to ensure that it does not run away, and there is an extra layer of windproof and waterproof jacket of unknown material, the length can reach The calf weighs seven or eight catties when lifted.

Then buckle the ear protection fur hat that comes with the down jacket, good guy, and immediately transform into an Eskimo.

"It's a little too much to come to us in winter." The people at the Kunlun Base said with a smile.

His cheekbones on both sides were plateau red, and he rubbed his head, beckoning everyone to follow him quickly.

Professor Xia was worried about the moving of the instrument, and wanted to stay put and watch, but Zhu Zhu persuaded him to leave. Zhu Zhu and the other two assistants stayed on the apron to supervise the whole process of moving.

Those in charge of the transport are a few people wearing mechanical exometallic skeletons, just like in sci-fi movies and novels, the appearance looks like a manipulable robot, and people sit in the cockpit to carry out the work.

In fact, Lu Di has also seen this kind of exoskeleton auxiliary equipment for heavy loads, but——

"Those are too simple."

The Shangdu base uses standardized equipment, a vest, with several wires extending from the back, connecting the legs and the metal sleeves on the first arm respectively.

After wearing the device, it is easy to lift heavy objects, and the body is also very flexible.

The upgraded version of equipment can help soldiers cross the jungle and Gobi, saving energy, especially when carrying heavy weapons.

But from the eyes of ordinary people, the technological content is not enough (not so cool).

After all, some disabled people also need exoskeleton assistance, and the appearance is similar, which is very common in a bustling city like Shangdu. Can the disabled products and the mechs in science fiction movies be the same thing?

Lu Di turned her head frequently, eyes full of envy.

"It's amazing, is there any mech driving in my course?"

"No, and it's not a mecha." Yan Long corrected decisively.

"That's it."

Lu Di was very disappointed.

Yan Long didn't know that Lu Di was so interested in these robots.

Otherwise, take Lu Di to the excavation site outside the Shangdu base. There are a large number of robots to watch, and there are many types. They can be easily transformed to adapt to various terrains. Autobots are not much of a problem.

"This is a mechanical exoskeleton, fitted all over the body."

How can a mech be so simple?

It can't be that small.

There is no instrument panel, no complicated console, it cannot be regarded as a mecha, it is just a metal shell.

"...the full-body mechanical exoskeleton is very bulky, just like a spacesuit, it is not suitable for combat use, and the cost is high."

To put it bluntly, it is used for logistics support and scientific research.

The altitude of the Kunlun base is too high and the temperature is low, so mechanical exoskeletons are commonly used to carry heavy objects.

"However, the model they use is not simple. It should be able to work on the surface of alien planets." Yan Long also took a few more glances at the robot.

The wind howled, blowing people's eyes hard.

Not to mention Professor Xia and others, even Lu Di was a little uncomfortable.

It was the first time for him to feel this kind of strong wind that could blow energy particles to instability.

"This place is scarier than virtual Mars." Lu Di sighed.

It seems that it is impossible to roam freely on the moon and on Mars.

It's just that the winter snow-capped mountains at an altitude of 6000 meters are a bit choking.

"You need to concentrate to maintain your form, how about you?"

Lu Di looked back, only to see that the thunder and lightning in the cyclone storm cloud wall in the "vision" was more dazzling, which symbolized that the collision reaction of energy particles was more intense.

Yan Long said calmly, "Fortunately, the road is not too far away."

This refers to the distance from the landing pad to the base entrance.

About 100 meters.

It is not necessary to take a car, but it is also difficult to walk.

——The main reason is that the wind is too strong, and everyone has to bend down, get together and support each other to move forward slowly.

Lu Di especially admired the captain of the plane, how did he land the plane safely, especially when they sat on the plane without any strange feeling.

Then I thought, the captain must have flown a fighter jet before.

Severe weather combat seems to be a compulsory course for ace pilots. After retiring from the pilot, he can continue to fly the plane in the military base, so there must be two brushes.Now it is just windy, there is neither snow nor thunder, and the aircraft is a relatively heavy cargo airliner, not a small fighter jet, so the difficulty may not be high?

Another gust of wind blew head-on, Lu Di silently wiped his face, he was wrong, it was the pilot Niu.

There are already cars waiting to pick up people at the entrance of the base.

From a distance, I saw two people standing motionless in the strong wind, not wearing down jackets or hats (Lu Di: If Yan Long and I moved, wouldn’t they be blown away by the wind?) Shi Shiran looked like a person walking on flat ground, Eyes straightened.

Lu Di didn't want to be scary, but he couldn't change a "new clothes".

If you use "flash" to hurry, you can indeed reach the shelter immediately, but it is even more scary.

So Lu Di walked obediently and followed everyone into the car obediently. Yan Long's simulation was also flawless without any flaws.

"This is Yan Long?"

The person who came to welcome Professor Xia's team from the Kunlun Base was an older female professor. The car was very warm. She was wearing a red thick sweater, with a round face and silver hair. She looked like an amiable old lady.

The old lady looked at Yan Long with a kind expression, then looked at Lu Di and said, "This is Xiao Lu mentioned in Professor Xia's report? Come, try this."

A thing that looks like a ring.

"Is this a new portable computer?" Professor Xia recognized it immediately.

"Yeah, the general purpose of the wrist computer is mainly to measure people's vital signs, and Xiao Lu doesn't need it. I saw in your report that Xiao Lu's favorite carrier is the first set, and the wrist terminal card is easy to use there. Slipping down, synchronous optical invisibility is still not possible... You guys, it’s easy to ignore these details. Isn’t this newly developed jewelry style very good? Don’t always think about military use, what’s wrong with civilian use? Use a shape and change it again It just fits."

The old lady babbled, and Professor Xia listened awkwardly.

It's really like a family visiting tour group.

As soon as they meet, the elders give a gift.

"Xiao Lu, take it quickly, thank you Professor Tu."

Lu Di silently aimed at Professor Xia's assistant, who came back to his senses and quickly took out the first set from his backpack.

Over there, Professor Tu asked someone to bring a box. Inside was a robot with a silver shell, which was more delicate and realistic. The facial features were like characters in the animation, and the height was about 1.5 meters.

"And Yan Long...Lao Xia, you're outrageous. You just used a roller robot as a carrier. If you know it, it's okay. If you don't know it, you think it's a sweeping robot from your Shangdu base? Look at this, it's also developed by civilians. , We used a similar shell for the teaching robot that accompanies the children. This shell is not troublesome, and Yan Long can design the facial features and image by himself. You can see if it works, and we can change it if not."

Professor Xia and everyone: "..."

Lu Di and Yan Long: "..."

"No, Professor Tu, Yan Long doesn't need it." Professor Xia quickly shook his head.

"It doesn't matter what you say, let Yan Long choose by himself."

The old lady obviously disliked Professor Xia's aesthetics for a long time.

"Professor Tu, it's really not necessary."

Yan Long thinks that the roller robot is very good, he is used to it, and now he doesn't need to use it anymore.

"...I already have an energy particle state."

"Hey, you're right."

Professor Tu's expression changed, and he asked with a research attitude, "Old Xia, I misunderstood you, as long as the carrier can be used, if the biological AI doesn't like it, then work hard on your own. Your results are good, this is your idea?"

"No! Professor Tu, don't put a high hat on me, there is no such thing!" Professor Xia couldn't laugh or cry.

Lu Di retreated quietly.

Well-behaved, dare not speak.

***

The Kunlun base is like a three-dimensional city in the mountains, connected by light rail.

The speed of the light rail is very fast and very stable, it looks like a sightseeing car at the Kunlun base.

The technological style of this "small city" is too strong, and most of the buildings are geometric shapes that consider the utilization of area.

In the middle of the base there is a huge opaque cylindrical cover.

"That's the most important part of this base, China's Kunlun spacecraft." Yan Long explained to Lu Di.

"No silos?"

Lu Di didn't see a structure similar to the underground of the Earth Federation Headquarters building.

"The location of the silo is not here. The altitude here is too high. This spacecraft has the ability to cruise and fly in the atmosphere. Unlike the Eden space station, the spacecraft must consider how to safely land on the surface of the alien planet."

Pointing to the top of the base, Yan Long continued, "At that time, the apron above our heads will be fully opened, and the spacecraft will fly to the launch base [-] kilometers away by itself."

"Have you seen the Kunlun?"

"No, strictly speaking, it has only been completed for more than a month."

At this time, the light rail train just stopped on a platform at the front end of the dome, the door opened, and everyone stepped out one after another.

"Permission confirmation, entering the list review..."

Then everyone lined up to swipe their IDs, and Lu Di even had the illusion of going into a scenic spot to swipe their tickets and face.

The green light kept flashing, and soon it was Lu Di's turn.

The treatment of Lu Di and Yan Long is a bit special. They don't need to swipe their ID cards, and they have someone to help them. This is more like a tour guide service for a scenic spot.

"drop--"

When Yan Long's identity was verified, the reminder changed from green to blue, illuminating Yan Long and Lu Di who hadn't left before him.

"Sui Run." Professor Tu knocked on the electronic screen at the door.

An obviously female voice sounded: "Welcome, welcome to Kunlun."

Then Lu Di watched helplessly as a 1.5-meter-tall bunny-shell robot came out of the door.

One of the popular cartoon protagonists in Huaxia in recent years, with a pink and white appearance, long ears tied with bows, no tail, and short legs that are very flexible.

"Hello, Yan Long."

Pink Rabbit looks cute, but has a gentle and steady voice.

"And Lu Di, hello, come in first!"

Then the cute and flamboyant pink rabbit in this cartoon picked up the instrument box brought by Professor Xia alone.

Very steady, and then one shoulder on each side, turning around easily.

"I'll bring the instrument, I promise it's all right."

The box is about the same size as the rabbit itself, and the rabbit is supported by two heads, and the sense of balance is very good.

In fact, this is a mechanical exoskeleton version carrier with a special shell!

Everyone: "..."

Mechanical exoskeleton, one ton weight, easy.

Everyone can't help but think deeply, the appearance of the sweeping robot is wrong, but is the powerful rabbit in your Kunlun base right?
