EBE Chapter 51 Raber Fortress
Chapter 51 Raber Fortress
Mechanical fortress.
Although this mechanical force seems somewhat like a neutral unit, Huang Hong still felt a little uneasy about entering their mechanical fortress.
However, Huang Hong really needs a channel for communication.
Just as Huang Hong was weighing the pros and cons, a mechanical bee flew towards him, followed by a synthesized electronic voice: "Wanderer, welcome to Laby Fortress."
"Laber Fortress?" Huang Hong looked at the mechanical bee and asked, "Can I enter this mechanical fortress without being attacked?"
The mechanical bee said, "Of course, the Labrador Fortress adheres to the principle of neutrality. As long as the security agreement is followed, all wanderers are free to come and go."
Huang Hong pondered for a moment and asked, "You just said that all the wanderers can come and go, but apart from the machines, I don't seem to see any other life."
The mechanical bee said, "When the Labob Fortress was first established with 36 standards, no other wanderers had been found in this area. If you enter the fortress now, you will become the first wanderer to land in the Labob Fortress."
Huang Hong continued, "What can I do inside the Labrador Fortress?"
The mechanical bee said, "Lab Fortress is a standard war fortress, with a range of functions including machinery manufacturing, repair, and resupply. In addition, it also functions as a free trade center and mission center. This fortress can provide guarantees and a general equivalent... credits."
"However, since there are currently no other wanderers in the fortress, the items traded are limited to mechanical creations provided by the fortress, and most of the current missions are related to the Metal Plains."
"Metal Plains?" Huang Hong muttered, presumably referring to the Giant Beast Plains.
He nodded and said, "In that case, I'd like to see for myself."
Huang Hong's words were not entirely based on his belief in the mechanical bee. Firstly, he did have a need for communication, and secondly, he was confident in his own abilities.
If a conflict were to break out, he would definitely lose in a fight, but when it came to running away, Huang Hong was somewhat confident.
Seeing that Huang Hong was preparing to head to the mechanical fortress, the mechanical bee quickly projected an agreement in the air and said, "Mr. Wanderer, if you want to enter the Labob Fortress, please confirm this security agreement first. If you do not abide by the security agreement after entering the fortress, we have the right to expel you. If you seriously violate the security agreement, we even have the right to take multiple actions such as detention, punishment, and killing."
Huang Hong looked at the security protocol projected on the screen.
The agreement contains many clauses, but its core principle is simple: no one may attack or injure others without cause, and no one may rob or steal...
In short, for Huang Hong, who comes from modern society, this security agreement is not only not harsh, but rather rather lenient, and there are no obstacles to complying with it.
Huang Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I will abide by this security agreement. Do I need to sign it?"
The mechanical bee retracted its projection and said, "Mr. Wanderer, all you need to do is confirm verbally. Have a pleasant journey."
After saying this, the mechanical bee joined a passing swarm of mechanical bees and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Huang Hong paused for a moment before walking toward the Labour Fortress.
Rabo Fortress has many entrances and exits, but these entrances and exits are all prepared for the mechanical legions; there is only one portal for the wanderers to enter and exit.
Upon entering the fortress, one is immediately struck by its extremely orderly layout. Geometric metal buildings stand side by side, while dense metal corridors and glass pipes crisscross the air, with various types of mechanical constructs busily at work.
A map of the fortress's interior was projected at the main entrance, marking the locations of functional buildings and numbering the metal corridors.
After observing for a moment, Huang Hong arrived at the No. 3 metal corridor. As he stood still, the metal block under his feet began to move autonomously along the corridor.
Huang Hong kept looking around at his surroundings; the style here was even more sci-fi than cyberpunk.
More than ten minutes later, Huang Hong left the No. 3 metal corridor and came to a metal building. The name of this metal building was quite simple and unadorned... Mechanical Parts.
That's right, this is a shop that sells all kinds of mechanical parts, modules, and some small machines.
The shop wasn't big, and it looked empty, with only one robot inside.
As soon as Huang Hong entered, he heard a flamboyant, mechanical voice: "Look, look, look! Look who's here! Isn't this my dear first customer? Dear customer, as a reward for being the first to enter my shop, I must bestow upon you an unprecedented honor. From now on, all your purchases in my shop will be discounted by 5%! Hahaha! Isn't that a pleasant surprise?! You're so happy!!"
Huang Hong looked speechlessly at the robot that had come to his feet and was waving its arms and legs, resembling WALL-E.
The robot seemed to realize it had gotten a little too excited, cleared its throat, and said, "Hello, esteemed guest, I am Wrench, the best mechanical engineer at Fort Lubo. I allow you to call me... Wrench Daddy! You know, not just anyone can call me that! How about it, don't you feel honored?!"
Huang Hong's lips twitched. To be honest, he was already a little regretful about stepping into the store.
After mentally preparing himself, Huang Hongcai asked with a "since I'm already here" attitude, "Wrench, I've indeed run into a bit of trouble. I have a mechanical creation, but it keeps running out of energy."
Wrench shook his finger and said, "I know, I know. Either the energy module is faulty, or the energy storage system is malfunctioning, or the energy transmission network is incompatible. Give it to Wrench Daddy, and Wrench Daddy will make sure you understand it clearly."
Upon hearing this, Huang Hong did not summon his Iron Man armor, but instead asked, "I would like to see your energy module."
Wrench shrugged and walked towards the wall, saying, "Alright, alright, but if you don't let Old Man Wrench take a look at that mechanical contraption, Old Man Wrench won't be able to figure out where the real problem is."
The wrench was placed on the metal wall. As a circle of light flashed, a metallic scraping sound came from inside the wall, as if a grid was moving.
When the sound stopped, the wall opened, revealing several mechanical constructs the size of Rubik's Cubes.
Pointing to the leftmost cylindrical object, which was still shimmering with star-blue light, he said, "This is the Nebula Pulse Unit NFP-9000. Although it is only a basic model, its energy storage and endurance are top-notch. It can also be paired with the Nebula Network to greatly improve energy absorption and output efficiency."
Next was the second silver cube: "This is the Q-CoreΛ quantum fusion reactor. Don't underestimate it; it was a strong contender for a military-grade version back then, but unfortunately, it lost out in the end. Its greatest strength is its stability..."
"This is the warp drive siphon module WS-Σ..."
"And this, the Ether Core EH-Φ..."
