"Robot soldiers? That requires not only weapons and armor, but also a large number of high-tech self-discipline modules, although the 404 base is not impossible to produce, but the cost is too high and not cost-effective. Moreover, if a new production line for robot soldiers were to be built, it would take at least half a year after the entire base was restored, and a vein would need to provide a stable supply of resources. Cooper said.

"Okay, I'll talk about this later......" Qi Lin also knew that the 404 base was in ruins now, and he couldn't rush anything. Since he knew that the 404 base had this ability, Qi Lin was very satisfied, although it would take time, but an army of robots could definitely become a force that no one could ignore on the wasteland.

"If the owner doesn't have any other problems, I'm going to shut down most of the facilities at the base right now and start focusing all my energy on repairs."

"Hmm...... That's right, wait a minute! ”

As if he remembered something, Qi Lin suddenly got out of the power armor, quickly ran to the air pump room on the eighth floor, and took out the [incomplete activation core] from his backpack.

With so many days of fighting, Qi Lin's information permission level has also been raised to level forty, but he still can't get any information about this activation core from the Zhi Brain.

"Cooper, what is this thing, can you tell?" Qi Lin held up the starting core and asked at the Cooper projection that reappeared in the air pump room.

"This ...... I also asked the master to bring it to the institute, I need to use the equipment over there. Seeing this activation core, Cooper also showed a solemn look on his face.

……

Ten minutes later, the first research institute of base 404, the analysis room.

Qi Lin carefully put the activation core, which was like a large metal cube, on the analysis table, and with the analysis lasers sweeping over the activation core, the solemn look on the virtual Cooper projection face deepened even more.

"Master, what do you say...... The technological level of this device is more than one level higher than that of the 404 base, and the existing means of analysis can only detect a little information on the surface, although I can't get the detailed information of this device, but it can be concluded that this should be a large machine, a warship or, the heart of a base. ”

"Heart? Is it similar to the heart of the city? Qi Lin asked.

"No, it's not the same as the heart of the city, which is just a core module for the rapid establishment of the city, like ...... Well, humans used to have a game called 'Red Alert', which was like a base car inside. But this thing is different, if a city loses the heart of the city, as long as it has the premise of a sufficient scale and relies on people's hands, it can still slowly build the city, but the speed is much slower, but the thing behind this device, after losing this starting core, will be completely locked. ”

"Then the thing behind this activation core must be very powerful, right?"

"It should be." Cooper replied in the affirmative, "So, I suggest that the owner collect all the debris as soon as possible and activate this device." ”

"Fragments...... I want to collect Qi ......," Qi Lin said a little speechlessly, and received the activation core in his backpack.

If it had been so easy to collect, he wouldn't have been three-sevenths by now.

……

"Then let's do it first, you restore the base as soon as possible, and I won't stay in the base during this time." According to Qi Lin's original plan, he wanted to get some powerful weapons in this "arsenal", but who knows, behind this gray card is a complete Alien Base, although it will take time to repair, but this gap is too big.

"Okay, after you leave the base, I'll seal it off completely. With that thing on your wrist, I'll keep you regularly updated on the progress of the base's restoration. ”

"Well, it must be sealed, and I may not be the only one who knows the secret of the gray card...... By the way, Cooper, there should be other passages to Base 404, right? Otherwise, those big power armors obviously can't get through the metal tunnel I came in, right? ”

"Well, there are two large, two small and four passages in the entire base, but three of them have all been blocked, and only that corridor can be passed at present."

"By the way, what happened to the chess game in the Yongdao at the beginning?"

"That's the level that Mr. Wilder asked me to set, in order to test the IQ of people who may enter the base in the future, if the IQ is too low, not only can they not avenge the martyrs of the 404 base, but they may also be used by Wang Yuanhai, so it is better to wipe them out directly."

“…… This is a way to measure IQ...... It's really simple and crude......"

"Can I interpret this as a compliment from you?"

……

……

Qi Lin returned to the surface again, and although he had only been in Base 404 for a few hours, he still had the illusion of almost being separated from another world after seeing the dim sunlight seeping down behind the thick radiation clouds overhead.

However, the few large boxes at his feet were reminding Qi Lin that the ones just now were not illusions, but real things.

Inside these large boxes were a complete T-46 power armor and a new barrel of a freshly forged Gauss sniper rifle, and Cooper had helped make some minor changes to the old power armor before the repair of the reactor began.

Quickly disposing of a chocolate-flavored energy bar from 404, Qi Lin opened all the large boxes and began to assemble them according to the instructions given by Cooper.

Due to some military strategy reasons in the old era, in the game world of the current "Wasteland Survival Code", the number of power armor held by players in Huaxia is far less than that of large regions such as United States and Russia, according to the information on the world radio channel (due to the fact that the permission is not open, by standard, it should be the radio channel in Huaxia District), some players in the northern permafrost tundra region have had several "unpleasant" contacts with Russian players in Siberia.

Due to the disparity in the number of power armors, players in Huaxia seem to have suffered a lot of losses, and even the mines and ruined cities in the north have been robbed by Maozi.

In the old era of China, although the technical starting point of power armor was very high, but the start time was relatively late, therefore, the number of power armor troops was far less than those countries that took the first step - although the combat effectiveness of one power armor produced in China can be worth at least three of Maozi's backward magnetic power armor, but Huaxia's power armor is generally only equipped with elite troops, and most of the conventional troops are ordinary infantry with tank mix-and-match and combat exoskeletons.

Most of the elite troops were sent out to expedition overseas, and most of the remaining troops who stayed on the mainland were second-line troops, which led to a very embarrassing phenomenon-

After the nuclear war, the number of domestically produced power armor in China was not as large as that of this kind of imported armor equipped by some consortiums, private armies, and private enterprises......

……

It took Qi Lin more than three hours to assemble the T-46 power armor that had been completely modified - Cooper not only updated the power furnace and weapons and equipment, but also installed a set of equipment that was not available at all in the power armor.

Smart operating system!

And the remote AI of this intelligent operating system is served by Cooper himself, so that when Qi Lin is fighting, Cooper can also analyze the battle situation and provide useful advice and intelligence for Qi Lin, and at the same time, when Qi Lin can't react, Cooper can also control the power armor and make some emergency operations.
