The Mechanic

But Zhang Xun knew clearly that a catastrophe was imminent. The influence of the electromagnetic pulse can last for 20 to 30 minutes. Although the main computers and instruments are installed with the anti-pulse sleep program he developed so as not to be seriously damaged, within 20 minutes of being disturbed, the entire system fails. The paradise is in a vulnerable state without shields. If there is another air bomb, they will all die.

The only computer that can still run is Adam who uses biological energy to run.

He immediately rushed back to the Lab, only to find that because Pan had also fallen asleep, the bulletproof door was sealed and he couldn't enter. Fortunately, he has prevented this from happening, and has designed a set of mechanical components, which can use the key and the original knob combination lock to open the door when the power is off.

Adam was still curled up in the original place, and he seemed to be relieved to see him back. And Zhang Xun is not the case, the electromagnetic pulse did not affect Adam, which shows that the artificial brain he designed is indeed successful in this respect.

"Adam, I'm going to take you to the headquarters and manually activate the shield system."

Adam looked at him in amazement, "But the electromagnetic pulse should have cut off all the electricity, and I can't help it."

"All shield launchers have electromagnetic pulse protection systems, and they can be restarted soon. Now the main damage is on the computers that control them." Zhang Xun quickly explained. Paradise Lost did not dare to use a computer system that might be hacked by Eden, coupled with limited resources, it could only buy those relatively primitive materials and parts to manufacture by itself. But the shield launcher was purchased from Russia, and the materials were more advanced than what they had.

There is no need for Zhang Xun to say more, Adam will understand. He stood up, but looked at Zhang Xun with some uncertainty, "Do the others agree?"

Zhang Xun could tell that there was something wrong with Adam at this time. . . timid.

After all, he had never left the Lab in a human body. The hostile outside world described by Zhang Xun must not be attractive to him...

. "It's okay if they don't agree, it's a matter of life and death. I know you're afraid, but I don't have time to get used to it. The air bomb will fall at any time..." Zhang Xun ordered with a stern attitude. "come over.."

Adam had no choice but to obediently follow behind Zhang Xun, leaving the room where he stayed for a few days for the first time. The dark Lab corridor made Adam more and more uneasy, and the human body's instinct of fear of darkness flickered in his eyes.

Zhang Xun is very familiar with Lab, and he can move forward in the dark without lights. He reached out and grabbed Adam's wrist to guide him, and this slight touch gave Adam a wonderful sense of reassurance. Zhang Xun ran very fast, as if he could see things in the dark. Adam was surprised to find that his physical fitness seemed to be good. When Zhang Xun started to breathe heavily, he still didn't feel tired.

Outside the Lab is an old scene, except for the warehouse not far away, there are also a few storage rooms that look too old and dilapidated, even the doors and windows are rusted. The road is rugged and muddy, with shadows everywhere. There was a strong smell of dust and burning in the air, and the ominous wind blew sand and gravel on their faces. In the distance, outside the protective cover, a large area of ​​primeval forest was destroyed, and the trees were charred, like the corpse of a struggling person baring its teeth and claws. That is the destructive effect caused by the air bomb. If there is no shield, most of the people in the Lost Paradise will be reduced to ashes like the trees outside. Thinking about the terrible consequences, Zhang Xun felt a chill of death from inside his body.

Adam was obviously a little panicked, looking around, his grip on Zhang Xun was getting tighter.

Zhang Xun suddenly pulled him to hide behind a low room, and waited for a pair of guard soldiers to rush past before continuing to walk in the direction of the headquarters in a sneaky manner.

The headquarters seemed to be half empty, because most of the computers were burned by the electromagnetic pulse, and all personnel either went into the air defense shelter, or joined the front-line combat military area to resist those mechs, tanks, and drone bombers. They passed all the way, and no one stopped them.

The main computer that controls the launcher of the shield is in the underground war room, and the elevator is no longer available. They have to pass through a secret underground passage—a narrow corridor that looks like an air vent. Zhang Xun rushed into the tool room, found out the screwdriver he needed, hung some small tools in his waist bag and straddled his waist, and quickly unscrewed the screws of the vent when he came back.

"We have to go from here." Zhang Xun said.

When Adam was waiting, his eyes were in the dark office room where the papers were scattered, and he said in a casual manner, "Are you so nervous because you are worried that there will be an air bomb?"

Zhang Xun, "Yes."

"According to the news you got, besides the machine warriors, are there any mechas or tanks driven by humans?"

"Yes, but not many."

Adam whispered, "If you can get a father and a child to appear in front of the mechs controlled by those people, maybe you can prevent the second air bomb from falling."

Zhang Xun paused, then turned to stare at him, "What do you mean?"

"If human soldiers are sent out in such an annihilation battle, there will probably be war reporters following up and reporting. The images they send back should be real-time. Most women in the ordinary world have strong compassion for children, even if they are not Few women who like children are willing to sacrifice their children’s lives in exchange for benefits. As long as they see children here, they will never accept the strategy of killing them all. Eden can only order the robot police to attack for the sake of sex. Or use the gap to drop ordinary bombs at fixed points, which cannot cause mass destruction. You will have more time." Adam analyzed in a mechanized and calm tone.
