    "It's up to you.~,"

    "Understood." Everett stopped in front of the passage, and then folded forward a pair of hydraulic shears at the top of his arms.  He stretched out his hand to hold one of the diagonal support beams, and the hydraulic shear immediately began to apply force. Hearing a clanging sound, the steel beam as thick as an adult's thigh was cut neatly. Then Everett grabbed the middle section and pulled it backwards.  With one throw, the obstructive beam across the entrance was cleared.

    After clearing the first beam, the remaining part is treated in the same way as before. When you see the obstructing beam, just cut off both sides and throw out the middle part.  Of course, not all locations are so convenient. The reason why some places still maintain their original appearance is entirely because the support beams support the stones above. Once the support beams are removed, the stones above begin to fall down. But this  It doesn't matter to Everett.  No matter how big the stone is, he can just take it out and throw it away. Even if it is a particularly big stone that will get stuck, he can cut it into small pieces first and then throw it out.

    Using this method, we quickly passed through this passage, and then we saw a large space in front of us.  This place should be the passage that extends from the outside, but a section of it is blocked by collapsed earth and rocks. This side has not collapsed, so it looks quite wide.

    The eight people who came with us were not only guides, but they also had a certain understanding of the structure of the underground tunnels. It could even be said that these people were actually experts in this field, but they were all based on experience and no theory.

    One of the guides looked at the situation here and said: "It seems that the landslide below is not as serious as imagined."

    "Have you never come over to check before?" I asked slightly surprised.

    The guide said helplessly: "We are not like you. We don't dare to move the support beams across the passage. No one dares to come in."

    "That's not right!" I said in confusion while looking at the information in the psychic network: "I saw a robot dog among Long Yuan's support supplies! Why wasn't it sent in?"

    This robot dog is actually the kind of robot dog we used when we dealt with those human traitors in the United States last time. This kind of robot dog is actually not entirely military equipment. It doesn¡¯t look like much, but it is actually ours.  An important profit-making project of Longyuan.  Because the application range of this kind of robot dog is really broad.

    Let¡¯s not talk about it on the battlefield. This thing can run faster than a motorcycle, and its armor protection is better than a light tank. More importantly, it has flexible dodges and is difficult to be hit. It is the best whether it is a strong attack, penetration or street fighting.  equipment.  Many soldiers who came off the battlefield have special feelings for this kind of robot dog.  Because these robot dogs are more reassuring than their comrades on the battlefield.  In addition, these robot dogs can also be used for mine clearance and explosive disposal. For example, if you encounter a suspected roadside bomb or something, you can let the robot dog go up and take a look. If it does explode, at least there will be no casualties, and the robot dog itself is also very  It is less likely to be destroyed by car bombs. After all, its protective effect is close to that of a light tank, and its weight and size are small. The explosive force it withstands is not too high, and its survival rate is very high.  In addition, if you encounter situations where you need to drill ventilation pipes or sewers, the robot dog is also the best choice.  The front cross-sectional area of ??this thing is very small, and it can go into narrow passages that are inaccessible to people. Moreover, this thing has wheels in the middle of its claws, so it can go much faster than people in ventilation pipes or sewers, so it is very easy to use.

    The above is still in the scope of military use, but there is still great potential for civilian use.

    The civilian version of this kind of robot dog is mainly divided into three large models: enhanced version, standard version, and family version.

    The enhanced version is actually a simplified model of the military version. The armor strength is only half that of the military version and can withstand shrapnel damage at close range.  As long as it is not hit directly, ordinary rocket launchers will not have any damaging effect on it.  Except for the direct hits of anti-material weapons and individual rocket launchers, individual weapons can basically ignore them, so they are very useful for the police department or companies such as security, banks, and armed escorts.  Of course, this model does not have weapons. Except for a few military versions, most robot dogs, including more than half of the military versions, are not equipped with weapons. After all, the main function of the robot dog is not to be used as a firepower point.

    In fact, the enhanced version is sufficient for most civilian industries.  After all, even if this thing has no weapons, it is very easy to kill people, because whether it is the retractable blade-like claws on its claws or the teeth in the mechanical mouth, they are enough to hurt people.  Of course, the civilian version's teeth are not high-frequency vibrating blades, just ordinary metal spikes.  But think about that beast trap-like mouth filled with small dagger-like fangs.  Getting bitten is definitely no joke.  What's more, the bite force of this thing is enough to bite a hole in a car engine.

    StandardThe new version is much weaker than the enhanced version.  The enhanced version is a simplified model that reduces the material strength and removes some functions based on the military version. But essentially it is still a military type, but the standard version is different.  This model is an independently designed independent version, which is very different from the military version.  First of all, this version has a lot of shapes. There are military versions that look like robot dogs at first glance, and there are also some that are deliberately made to look like plush toys.

    This standard version is weaker than the enhanced version in all aspects. The shell is just aluminum alloy and can withstand ordinary pistol bullets. However, some powerful pistols can still penetrate the human body if they are too close.  It's more than enough anyway.  In addition, the internal skeleton system of this model does not use high-strength military special steel but is divided into many models. The more expensive ones use titanium alloy or carbon fiber, and the cheaper ones use ordinary steel or aluminum alloy. Anyway, it depends.  What model do you want?  In fact, the shell of this model is not static. If you like it, there is also an armored shell for sale. Of course, the price is ridiculously expensive, but rich people don't care.

    In fact, in addition to the materials, the standard version's computer performance, battery performance, and various internal devices are actually all weaker than the military version and the enhanced version. This model is actually mainly used by ordinary companies as security guards. After all, it is nothing.  Companies can afford security robots, but robot dogs are much cheaper in comparison.

    Needless to say, the family version is just for ordinary people to buy and play at home.  Of course, it's not really meant for you as a toy. It can be used as a trailer when you go out to buy groceries.  It can be carried directly to your home if it weighs less than 50 kilograms. It can be used as a part-time carry bag when you are going to the mall, and it can also be used as a stool when you are tired.  Pretty girls can also serve as bodyguards when they go out. Although more than half of the home versions have engineering plastic shells, this thing can still easily knock down one or two strong men as long as the other party doesn't have a gun.  Even if there are many people on the other side, it is still possible to buy you time to escape.  What's more, this thing has its own networking function. As long as you call the police, this thing will immediately connect you to the police station's network, and it is faster than calling the police.

    Of course, the functions of this home version are more than that, and there are actually many derivative functions.  For example, the plush version has an automatic electric heating function and can be used as a hot water bottle in winter.  It can also be used as an emergency power source during a power outage. It can temporarily replace a lighting lamp or flashlight. It can also be connected to external electrical appliances, although it cannot bring an air conditioner or a rice cooker.  It¡¯s no problem to charge a personal mobile terminal or something.  In addition, people with poor health can use it as a home medical center as long as they pay to load medical aids and supporting software.  Although it cannot cure diseases, it can monitor your physical condition at all times and is very useful for taking care of the elderly, pregnant women and children. If something goes wrong, it can automatically call pre-made contacts for help.  Of course, things like fire alarm, anti-theft, disaster rescue, etc. are all optional modules. As long as you can think of small functions, this robot dog has almost all.

    Anyway, the function of the robot dog is really convenient and practical, and Longyuan¡¯s annual sales volume of five million units is not just a boast.  That's really enough to circle the earth several times.

    According to the information I downloaded from the psychic network, the contact person of our group should have brought twenty military version of the robot dogs when he came over.  It makes no sense to bring it but not use it.

    Only after I asked this question did some of the people over there remember it.  "By the way, it seems that a robot dog was indeed sent in before, but it disappeared after running in. I don't know where it went. It was affected by radiation interference outside and couldn't receive the signal. I don't know what's going on now."

    This one is relatively reliable.  This is a uranium mine.  The intensity of radiation under the ground is very high. Ordinary people can die directly after being exposed to this environment for less than five minutes. Electromagnetic signals are strongly interfered here, and even our spiritual network does not receive the signal from the robot dog.  Ordinarily, if the robot dog is here, it is military equipment.  It should automatically connect to our network, but now there is no signal. It is obviously the result of radiation interference.

    Since the robot dog has already gone down, I am not too anxious.  With the speed of the robot dog, it should be able to find people or ruins in need of rescue before we do. All we have to do is go over and receive the information and then process it.

    The passage forward from here is basically free of landslides and the road is very smooth. However, there are still a lot of stones on the ground, but they are not enough to block the road.  Considering that the space in this place is huge anyway, we simply started the thrusters, grabbed the eight people and flew directly in. Anyway, the height of the six-lane wide passage is also eight meters, so there is no pressure at all when flying.

    I have to say that this passage is really deep. We flew forward along the passage for seven or eight kilometers before stopping. There were many collapsed areas along the way, but most of them were only half collapsed, leaving gaps.It was still very big, and we didn¡¯t even bother to slow down and just flew over. However, the situation was different here, because the first completely collapsed passage finally appeared here, and we really couldn¡¯t get through it without cleaning it up.

    In fact, it does not mean that it has completely collapsed. At least there are some small gaps. Looking at the marks on it, you can clearly see that the twenty robot dogs have passed through here, because the ground is all in the shape of plum blossoms.  There are footprints, and near one of the holes there is a steel bar that was bitten off by the teeth of the robot dog. It should be the obstacles cleared by the robot dog when it moves forward.

    We didn't change the place, so we dug a bigger hole where the robot dog had drilled through. We quickly got through the narrowest part. After passing this small hole, the remaining half was buried, but there was a very small part.  The large dome just fell down and opened up a slope. There is a triangular passage below which is quite large. At least a person of Everett's size can get through it. Most people can probably go through it on a motorcycle, right.  Naturally, it¡¯s not a problem for us.

    After drilling through this side, there was another passage. This time we flew another two kilometers, and then we saw the third blocked passage, but this side was not completely blocked.  There are several large holes on the ground, and it is obvious that they have just been dug out by the robot dog.  The ability of these robot dogs to dig holes is no worse than that of real dogs, or should be said to be stronger. At least real dogs will definitely not be able to dig holes in cement slabs.

    There is a lot of cement and strong concrete on the ground here. It is obviously the roof of the cave that collapsed from above, but now there is an obvious passage in it.  At first glance, you can tell that it was cleaned up by a robot dog.  But this passage is really not big, we need to expand it a little more.

    This time we did not wait to completely dig the passage, but dug in until we could go through it ourselves. Everett was left here to continue digging. He was too big and the passage behind him was too big.  It will definitely be harder to walk. Waiting for him will delay our rescue.

    After leaving Everett behind, we took the remaining eight guides to drill through the newly dug narrow passage, and then discovered that there was another landslide less than ten meters behind this landslide, and I used electricity  Magnetic induction scanning results showed that the cave-in was more than 50 meters thick.  It takes a very long time to dig through.

    "Look, there must be another passage here." Without saying a word, I started to ask everyone to spread out and find the entrance, because there was no passage opening on the more than 50-meter landslide in front, which meant that the robot dog did not get through, and there was no passage here.  There was no sign of the robot dog, which meant that the robot dog must have found another way to pass.

    Sure enough, after I said we dispersed, one of the guides immediately said: "No need to look for it, I know there is a maintenance passage here outside the main passage. Those robot dogs should have passed through that way."

    "Lead the way."

    Following the guide, we found a small door on the edge of the collapsed passage. This door had been severely deformed.  But at least I can get through it.  The passage at the back is also half towered, but the triangle area at the bottom can barely allow us to climb through.

    After climbing less than fifty meters along this narrow passage, we found a cement board lying across the passage in front of us, but there was a round hole in the cement board. Such a neat circle was obviously cut out by a robot dog.  The passage behind after drilling out here is a complete passage without landslides, but there are many cracks on the wall, and it seems that the damage here is quite serious.

    This maintenance channel is different from the main channel.  It seems to have been going down, and the slope is quite steep. Fortunately, there is no traffic jam at the back.

    After walking forward for a while, we suddenly stopped because the passage in front of us was completely submerged under the water.

    "Holy crap, what's going on?"

    "It should be that the groundwater was cut off during the landslide. Then there was a leak." said a guide.

    Another guide seemed to disagree with the guide's opinion and said: "Probably not. The terrain here is actually very high and there shouldn't be groundwater. This may be a pipe leak. There seems to be a water supply pipe in the maintenance channel."

    "No matter what it is, it seems we need to go for a swim." I said and jumped in first.  Our team is all fully armed. Even the guides have simple power armor and helmets with oxygen circulation systems. It¡¯s no problem to wear a diving suit as a temporary guest.  After all, the radiation protection equipment itself must be waterproof. Otherwise, if there is an air leak, how can we talk about radiation protection?

    In fact, the underwater passage is not long. After walking for a short distance, we found a closed iron gate, but strangely, no robot dog was found.  The military version of the robot dog is waterproof and has underwater propellers. Although it is not fast, it can indeed move in the water, but here we are?I didn't find them, which is obviously wrong, because I also found their footprints before going into the water.

    The door blocking the passage was severely deformed and closed. Even if the robot dog passed by, it would be impossible to close the door again, so they must not have gone through the door. The question is where they passed through.

    We briefly checked and found a passage that the robot dog could pass through.  This is a thick pipe, originally used to transport fresh air underground. The internal space is just enough for the robot dog to pass through, but the problem is that there is absolutely no way for us to get through here.

    "It seems we need to find a way to open this door."

    "I'll do it." Xiaochun slowly walked over and popped out the laser cutter from her wrist, and then started to cut the door.  She didn't make a hole in the door, but simply cut away the deformed part. Then she put away the laser and hit the door twice with her shoulder. The door was opened, but there was still a passage filled with water behind it. Fortunately, she moved forward.  It was less than ten meters away from the underwater environment due to the rising terrain.

    After returning to the air, my first reaction was not to observe the surrounding environment, but to find that the signal from the robot dog was vaguely received, but the signal was very unstable. Obviously we were very close to the robot dog.

    "Quick, move forward, I feel the robot dog."

    The people who had just crawled out of the water started running after me before taking a break.  Although the passage here is not wide, it has not collapsed and is fairly smooth.

    After running not far forward, we found a hole in the previous ventilation pipe. The footprints on the ground showed that the robot dog should have returned to this passage from here, and I felt that we were getting closer and closer, and I was even already  I could receive a complete signal, but I still couldn't exchange information effectively. However, when I hit a broken wall blocking the road, the signal became clear instantly, because I found that the robot dog was in the main channel in front of me.  Among them, instead of twenty, there were only eighteen left. Two more had fallen on the ground with their heads missing, and the remaining eighteen formed a circle.  The circle contained a creature I had never seen before.
