The survival of the whole world is based on the "grace" of nano machine swarms, and what is even more frightening is that no one knows why these swarms stopped in the first place, let alone when they will be restarted.The world has not survived the catastrophe of sixty-five years ago, and in fact the catastrophe is still ongoing, but it has slowed down - like a postponed execution, humanity is waiting to be killed, waiting for the blade to fall.In this case, all sorts of voices are emerging, either sane or crazy.There have been attempts to storm the Northland ruins to destroy the nanomachines, but the swarm has become an irresistible force that cannot be completely eliminated even with the use of nuclear weapons; There are attempts to re-establish control of the swarm, and they have all become part of the Grey River; Some people want to rebuild pre-war space technology and save the population by escaping the planet, but their ambitions are unlikely to succeed in these troubled times.The Rangers worship the Nano-Fleet as a super-life that has far surpassed humanity and is capable of dominating the world, and worships it like a god, believing that the entire world and the entire human race have survived thanks to the Nano-Pack, so they are madly loyal to their "master", hoping only to have a place when the Nano-Crew finally decides to reshape the world.But how does the nanomachine swarm react to this?
It doesn't react, it just flows quietly in the gray river, whether it is human attack or control, hostility or worship, it seems to be meaningless to them, they just operate according to a certain law: no proliferation, no reduction, no erosion of the outside world, but it will not hesitate to devour the adventurers who enter the Northlands.Ulanov looked across the hazy shore of the Grey River, the last light of the horizon reflected in his smooth visor: "People who live in other parts of the wasteland will always forget where the world's greatest crisis is, and they will even forget that the world is still tied to bombs - only when you come here and see the Gray River gushing with your own eyes will you realize from the bottom of your heart that the world has always been walking on thin ice, and that we are alive today for a reason that humans cannot understand and control."
When I was a researcher, I did a project on how two completely different life forms would get along after humans came into contact with alien life, but I didn't expect the answer to be this: there is now a completely different and incomprehensible life form on this planet, and there are only two words between the two: unknown. ”"It's just because I can't communicate," Hao Ren looked thoughtfully at the gray-white liquid that was almost about to solidify, "I also believe that nano-machine swarms have evolved thinking, but it's just different from the way humans think."
There must be a reason why they stopped......
Maybe it's just to communicate with humans?
”"You're not the first to come up with such an idea," Ulanov turned his head slightly, "but there's no point in having empty ideas. ”At this time, Nolan suddenly whispered to himself: "Maybe they stopped spreading just because this world can't handle such a complex thing." ”"What?"
Hao Ren didn't hear it clearly for a while.Nolan shook his head and turned to leave: "Nothing.The Grey River has solidified and is ready to go!
”The position of the sun was not visible in the smoky sky, but the fading glow on the horizon still made it clear that dusk was nearing the end.The viscous liquid in the Grey River slowly solidified into a single piece, as Nolan had said, as if the liquid metal had cooled and turned into a metallic sheen of the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even ripples and bubbles that had just burst could be seen on the surface of the river: they were all fixed.This is also an incomprehensible property of Gray River, and it is still unknown why the nanomachine swarm periodically solidifies into this way, which can only be explained as the result of procedural mutation.The mercenaries got into their cars one after another, and the three armored cars drove cautiously to the river, and the first car drove cautiously after confirming that the river had completely hardened.The nano-machine swarm, which was liquid a moment ago, is now as solid as steel, and the heavy armored car can't even leave a single scratch when driving it.Hao Ren and the others were waiting in the second car to leave with the team, and Ulanov noticed that Hao Ren was fiddling with the "electromagnetic sleeper" sent down earlier, and immediately reminded him: "Don't move, there will be problems with frequency disorder." ”"Anyway, I've heard you say it many times, this thing can hypnotize the nanomachine swarm?"
Hao Ren asked casually."
That's right.It may not be common on the part of the natural people, but it is often used by mercenaries who can't bring it," Ulanov pointed to the small device, "It has two systems, corresponding to these two green indicators, one primary and one spare.They can make you look like them in the eyes of the nanoswarm, so that the swarm won't attack you, but as soon as the hypnosis stops, the swarm will rush up - even the frozen gray river will wake up immediately. ”Ulanov said, raising his hand and pointing to the roof of the car: "We also have a large set of ones on the car."
So when you go out to operate, if you have a problem with your device, be sure to run back to the armored vehicle as fast as possible, if you are fast enough, you may survive. ”"So don't mess with that thing," Nolan glanced at Hao Ren, "report it immediately if one of the lights turns red, and it won't be too late when both systems are broken." ”The lead car sent back a signal of safety, and the other two armored vehicles cautiously drove from the river bank to the river.Hao Ren felt the car shook, and then saw that the expressions of the mercenaries around him became nervous.He asked curiously, "Saying that the Gray River is so dangerous, why don't you just go through the sky?"
”"There are nano swarms in the air, too," Ulanov did not laugh at Hao Ren's ignorance, because it is true that ordinary people do not study the environment of the Northland Ruins, "the Atmospheric Purification Model, but now it has become a plague over the Northland Ruins."
They live in symbiosis with the clouds, occasionally descending abruptly to a distance of only a hundred meters above the ground, and will often actively attack aircraft. ”At this time, a researcher of the White River Chamber of Commerce sitting at the back of the carriage suddenly spoke: "Planktonic nanomachines float in the air, and when the aircraft is running, they will be sucked into the combustion chamber.The group used this as an attack signal, and they destroyed the aircraft to protect their companions. ”"Ah, I thought you were all dumb," Ulanov looked up, "and your words sound like a justification for the nanomachine swarm." ”The emaciated researcher of the White River Chamber of Commerce had no gloom on his face: "I'm a scientist, I'll just talk about my findings." ”Ulanov shrugged: "What a coincidence, I was also a scientist before I picked up a gun. ”"Alright, be polite to the customer," Nolan interrupted Ulanov and then looked at the four members of the White River Chamber of Commerce, "and please cooperate with us as much as possible, otherwise it will be a pity for you to die two or three - my order says that as long as you make sure that you return at least one alive, the commission will be completed." ”The atmosphere was a little cold all of a sudden, and Hao Ren realized that this Nolan was not only powerful in combat experience and all kinds of knowledge, but also in her mouth, which was probably experienced in a hundred battles.The Gray River is unusually wide, and for fear of disturbing the fleet, the armored vehicles are not moving fast, so it is not known how long it will go.The monotonous gray-white world outside made people look drowsy, Hao Ren yawned, leaned on the carriage and prepared to be confused for a while.A voice sounded in his head, as if it was from a data terminal: "......
What do you want to find there?
”"Maybe it's the tentacles of the eldest son," Hao Ren replied in his mind in a daze, "The 'collapse' of this world began sixty-five years ago, and the loss of control of the nanomachine swarm is the root of everything.If this is not **, it can only be a natural disaster......
I heard that the core container of the nano machine group was buried deep underground, and perhaps the container was dug too deep and approached one of the tentacles of the eldest son......""......
What if you can't find it?
”"I'm going to look elsewhere, but I can't do it, I'll find a place to dig a hole and dig it down.""
What if there's nothing you're looking for here?
Will you leave?
”"Leave?
Why left?
”Hao Ren felt a little sober, "It's not done yet." ”"Hurry up and leave, it won't last long here......"
Hao Ren suddenly came to his senses, and immediately called the data terminal: "What were you talking about just now?"
”"I'm still practicing walking—you're sleepy, aren't you?"
(Ask for a monthly pass~!)
It's almost the end of the month.,Let's take a look at the monthly pass at hand.,Maybe there's an extra available monthly pass on hand before you know it.,Anyway, Dianniang is a metaphysical voting mechanism all year round =。
