Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Along with the purple crystal, it was smoothly sent to the advanced laboratory.

The vehicle-mounted intelligence immediately began to study it according to routine steps.

Su Wu doesn't need to intervene in this kind of thing.

Therefore, after confirming that the surrounding environment is temporarily safe.

He came out of the micro mecha and focused on the surrounding defenses.

Activates the base vehicle's station mode.

It is more than just a space for advanced laboratories to carry out research.

At the top of the expanded carriage.

A flight control center and fire tower were also formed.

With the help of flight control center.

The drone cluster was originally folded and stored in the third carriage to save space.

It will be able to take off and fight at any time.

And you can also get logistical services for repairing and replenishing ammunition after returning from the battle.

Fire towers are purely defensive facilities.

There are multiple shooting holes for firearms and turrets inside.

It can form a 360-degree firepower network covering the surrounding area of ​​the base.

Of course, due to the limited supplies that can be carried.

And when they set out, they didn't expect that in addition to human robbers, they would also have to deal with unknown creatures like purple crystals.

The fire tower is equipped with only a small number of folding shooting platforms.

There are basically no more powerful machine guns, rockets, turrets, etc.

But these are not problems.

As long as Su Wu is willing to invest in survival points.

All missing weapons in the fire tower can be replenished in an instant.

The key is whether it is necessary or not.

As for the current situation.

It's obviously not yet to the point where survival points must be used to create weapons.

Just send the land combat group to arrange around the base vehicle.

It's enough to establish a solid line of defense.

Confirmed the arming status.

There will be nothing to do with Su Wu for the time being.

He turned on the viewing system.

Behind the cockpit, the extended living room is located near the outside.

The original metal wall was instantly refreshed into a floor-to-ceiling glass-like style.

It allows Su Wu to see the outside world without any obstruction.

This is the effect brought about by referring to the design principle of micro-mechas, capturing external images through a camera, and then simultaneously projecting them onto the wall.

Pour yourself a large glass of ice-cold juice.

Su Wu sat on the sofa in front of the window and stared at the scenery outside the window quietly.

In resident mode.

The light from the base vehicle will illuminate a surrounding area of ​​two to three hundred meters.

At the same time, the light is not too dazzling.

It can well show the original landform details of the illuminated areas.

At this moment, it seems like a novel experience.

"Fortunately, the destructive power of the purple crystal is not too strong."

"Otherwise it would be here now."

"Maybe it will turn into a horror movie scene."

Reminiscent of how nervous he was when facing a formidable enemy, Su Wu still felt that his heartbeat was a little too fast.

Deal with this dangerous creature that can kill you.

It's really a bit tiring.

There is no relevant information to refer to, so every step must be carefully considered.

I am afraid that if something is not done well, it will lead to unpredictable consequences.

Fortunately, all this is over.

A peaceful night.

The next morning.

Su Wu got the preliminary research report from the advanced laboratory.

According to the experimental report.

Purple crystal belongs to a kind of creature with super regenerative ability.

When the total mass of the organic tissue located inside the shell reaches one gram or more.

No matter how you cut it, you can do it as long as there is a supply of nutrients.

Restore its original state and grow rapidly.

It may even grow into multiple independent individuals due to being cut into multiple parts.

The overall growth rate is several times higher than before the division.

However, if the mass is less than one gram.

Even if there is plenty of nutrients nearby, it will still die slowly.

There is no possibility of survival.

"It's not as contagious as the virus."

"The purple crystal itself is easy to deal with."

"The only remaining question is how to find them."

Looking at the analytical information attached to the report, Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately thought of the lowest-cost method of killing.

That is to use special high-explosive bombs.

First break open the outer shell of the purple crystal, which is almost as hard as rock.

Then drill into the extremely fire-resistant film and reach near the location of the organism.

It then detonates the thermite in the warhead, burning for more than three seconds.

It can be completely eliminated easily.

But the problem is difficult.

In its young state, the purple crystal itself is not much different from the rock.

Unless observed directly with the naked eye.

Otherwise, it would be basically impossible to find it using any non-visual investigation methods.

It was difficult for a while.

Su Wu could only focus on survival.

Let's hang up again.

Ten minutes later.

A fist-sized transparent crystal pyramid hanging upside down appeared on the console of the cockpit.

It was a portable, mobile detection device.

Able to detect the coordinates of all purple crystals within 10 kilometers.

The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy.

Each operation consumes one thousand kilowatt hours of electricity.

Even if it is the size of a base vehicle.

It can't be used frequently until you find a place to charge it.

However, considering that purple crystals generally do not move at will.

Scouting a place once is almost enough.

The impact is not big.

"Received scan order."

"Charging."

"Charging completed."

"Start searching."

Wisps of blue arc light converged on the upside-down tip of the crystal pyramid.

Then the moment the charge reaches the critical point.

Circles of white ripples visible to the naked eye began to emit, spreading silently in all directions.

Half a second later.

A large amount of data uses the Crystal Pyramid as a transit.

It is transmitted to the in-vehicle intelligence.

Then it was displayed on the console screen.

"Sure enough, there are others of the same kind."

Su Wu's eyes narrowed.

Feel lucky to have made a crystal detector specifically for yourself.

But the good news among the bad news is.

within the entire 10 km range.

There was only one purple crystal detected.

This number means that they have not yet reached the level of flooding.

"Go deal with it now."

"By the way, let's test the modified new weapon to see if it works well."

Compare maps.

Su Wu discovered that the purple crystal was located on a high mountain on one side of the canyon and was not buried deep in the rock formations.

So a main combat drone equipped with an automatic rifle was sent to the combat drone cluster on the spot.

Carry newly modified high-explosive bullets.

Take off from the flight control center on top of the base vehicle.

Get closer there.

After a few minutes.

A 3-story low building appeared in the drone footage.

The purple crystal is located in that building.
