Chapter 96 Engineering Guards and City Builders

Engineer No. 1 stopped when he heard the voice and turned to look at Li Meng behind him.

Today's weather is very good, with dark clouds and cold wind howling, but the wind is small and can't even blow up snowflakes.

Li Meng lowered his head slightly and glanced at the end of the street in front of him, then turned and walked in the direction he came from.

This place is far away from Qing'an City. There are no strange beasts, only thick snow, which makes the town seem very quiet.

Although it is safe here, it is not suitable for human habitation. As for the reason, of course, it is the lack of resources.

The necessary condition for human survival is resources. Although the town far away from the city is safe, the resources are limited. It can be lived in for a short time, but over time, when the resources are exhausted, they have to go to the city with more resources.

For more than a month, Li Meng has not encountered any human beings, and there is no trace of human beings on the snow.

The biggest feeling that the whole white ice and snow world gives Li Meng is "desolate". Everything is frozen and everything is buried under the snow. This is a lonely world.

On the white snowy road, two figures, one large and one small, gradually went away surrounded by a group of mechanical spiders...

Under the guidance of the map, Li Meng and Engineer No. 1 arrived at the destination in less than four hours, a distance of more than ten kilometers.

At some point, the buildings that could be seen everywhere around them had disappeared, and the surroundings were white, and the earth was undulating.

In the east, a group of mountains could be seen in the dim sky and earth, not far away, just a few kilometers away.

It was like a mountain range, with mountains connected to mountains. There was no green on the mountains, only white snow, and from a distance, it looked towering into the clouds.

At a certain point in the mountain range, there were two mountains that were not connected, and a huge gap appeared. From a distance, it looked like a canyon. Looking deeper, you could see a mountain leaning on one side.

Just by visual observation, the width of the gap exceeded two miles.

The two continued to move forward, and after walking a few more miles, they successfully found the river leading to the mountains.

This is a river channel about 100 meters wide, with narrower places and wider places.

The river meandered along the land, going deep into the mountains.

Surrounded by mechanical spiders, the two walked quickly on the river.

The snow on the river was very deep, and if they stepped on it, their calves would be buried, which slowed down their progress.

"No. 1, what do you think of the canyon ahead? There should be a small basin inside, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with plenty of space."

On the river, Li Meng asked the No. 1 engineer beside him while walking.

Hearing this, the No. 1 engineer looked up at the canyon mouth in front of him, and the No. 1's deep voice sounded in the round helmet.

"It can be used as a place to build a city. It can stop humans but not monsters."

Li Meng said indifferently to Engineer No. 1: "It doesn't matter. It's enough to stop humans. Monsters can even climb vertical walls. It's unrealistic to want to stop monsters with high walls."

Yes, it's unrealistic. High walls can only delay the pace of monsters, giving the weapons on the high walls more time to kill monsters. There is a reason why the mobile fortress is built so high.

On the river, the two continued to move forward...

Following the river, they arrived at the mouth of the canyon in just an hour.

Walking on the river between the canyons, Li Meng looked up at the mountains on both sides.

The mountains are not steep, and they tilt upwards to the top of the mountain...

Looking forward, one mile away, the distance between the two mountains is getting farther and farther, and the space on both sides is getting larger and larger. The farther away, it is already a vast expanse of white, and the mountains on both sides can no longer be seen.

Without stopping, the two continued to move forward and went deep into the canyon.

After walking for only a few miles, the mountains on both sides were already very far away. At a glance, only an outline could be seen.

The land on both sides of the river was not flat. The snowfield was undulating and continuous. The land was not visible. Only frozen forests buried in snow were seen. What Li Meng saw was a snow scene of nature.

Although beautiful and quiet, this was not what Li Meng wanted, nor was it the purpose of Li Meng's coming here.

He took out a surface sensor stick from his waist, twisted it, and threw it hard. The surface sensor stick flew out of his hand, crossed a distance of 100 meters, and plunged into the snow on the river.

At the same time, on the map page, a large area of ​​the gray area was lit up again.

This is a canyon similar to a gourd. It is not right to say that it is a canyon, because the basin inside is not small. According to the ratio on the map of Hui'an Province, the diameter of the basin is at least more than 50 kilometers.

Li Meng has gone several kilometers deep into the valley, but there is still a long way to go to Xiping Lake in the basin. This distance will not be less than ten kilometers, or even farther. You can imagine how large the area of ​​this basin is.

On the river, two steel bodies, one large and one small, stopped.

"How is it here?"

In response to the commander's question, Engineer No. 1 glanced around and said with certainty: "It's a good place. It is far enough from the city, and the strong electromagnetic force will not be sensed by the alien beasts. Commander, the relevant engineering machinery units have been designed. Please name them..."

So fast?

A few days ago, Li Meng asked Engineer No. 1 to design several construction engineering machinery to build a "home".

It was just a casual remark, not an order, but Engineer No. 1 remembered his words.

Although Engineer No. 1 can design any mechanical unit in an instant with his computing ability and knowledge, the execution design without command shows that Engineer No. 1 has strong autonomy.

With a thought, Li Meng opened the item page.

On the last page, Li Meng found two new mechanical soldiers.

One is smaller, about five meters tall, with legs, hands, and two feet, like a human, but more bloated.

Why is it a human, Li Meng doesn't know, but this design should be considered for applicability.

The humanoid machine can be used as a platform, and the corresponding equipment can be replaced according to the needs. Cutting, welding, construction, and any kind of work can be competent. Walking on two feet can also adapt to any terrain and can come and go freely in the snow.

A bit like a human...

After thinking for a while, Li Meng said: "2020, let's name it "Engineering Guardian"."

Guardian, a soldier who defends the homeland, Wei means to protect, and Shi means people. It has a human-like appearance, and this name is very suitable for it.

"Named, information updated..."

As 2020's voice fell, the name on the item page changed to Engineering Guardian.

Li Meng looked at the second mechanical soldier again.

This is a big guy, the height should be more than 100 meters, with feet, hands, head, and body, like a human, just similar, the whole body looks very slender, Li Meng is very suspicious of how it stands, will it not fall?
