The same setup.
The same room.
And the same people.
The only difference was that something happened between the three people in this room in a short period of time.
"Qian Shanwu. Have you figured it out? "
Ray Mingkai looked at the face illuminated by the only source of light in the room, the lamp, and asked slowly.
"So what if I figured it out? Now I'm just a prisoner imprisoned by you. "Qian Shanwu's voice became very hoarse, which was the opposite of his previous appearance.
"Are you sure Mr. AU is here?"
Teresa took out a map, placed it in front of Qian Shanwu, and pointed to the place marked as a red triangle on it.
"Yes, maybe not. This is the only place I know of. Only here is Mr. AU most likely to be there. Because there is an important research facility here. " Qian Shanwu raised his head slightly, glanced at the location pointed out by Teresa, and slowly responded.
"Research institute? What kind of research institute? "Ray Mingkai frowned, and seemed to have vaguely caught a key point.
"I don't know. Although I am Mr. AU in the eyes of outsiders and even most of the Amalgam, in fact, this research institute is personally managed by Mr. AU himself. If it weren't for a coincidence earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about the existence of this research institute. "Qian Shanwu shook his head slightly.
After hearing Qian Shanwu's explanation, Ray Mingkai and Teresa looked at each other and already had a consensus.
Qian Shanwu's cooperation was expected, but they still needed to maintain some caution.
However, after Lei Mingkai and Teresa finished the interrogation of Qian Shanwu, Richard, who had gone to deal with the follow-up matters and conduct a security check on the ship that had been hijacked and used to attack the Dan Slave's Son, came over with a piece of information.
"Captain. This is the intelligence document found in the computer on the ship. I think it's necessary for you to take a look. "
Under Teresa's puzzled gaze, Richard handed over the document in his hand.
"Hmm? This is? "
Teresa, who opened the document and glanced at it, showed a hint of surprise, and then handed the document to Ray Mingkai.
"Knight. Take a look at this document. It seems like someone is intentionally or unintentionally leaking the location to us. "
Ray Mingkai took the document from Teresa and read it.
The location of the research institute that Qian Shanwu mentioned before was printed at the beginning of the document, which was particularly eye-catching.
Regarding this, Ray Mingkai could not help but smile.
"Indeed. It seems like someone wants to use our Mithril as a sharp knife. "
"Who do you think it is? Knight. "
Clearly, Teresa had already guessed the identity of the person hiding behind the scenes.
"You've probably guessed it already! In the end, there weren't many people who could expose the secret location of one of the Amalgam's leaders. It just so happens that we know of one. Vice-captain, was this document found on the computer? "
After Lei Mingkai handed the document back to Richard, he asked casually, "What's going on?
"No. In addition to this document, we also captured a technician. Fortunately, our special forces arrived in time. Otherwise, this intelligence document would have been destroyed. "
Richard told everything he knew one by one, and there was a trace of luck on his face.
Because, in the conversation between Teresa and Ray Mingkai, Richard already knew that the information recorded in this document had been confirmed by Teresa and Ray Mingkai.
"Can I see the technician?"
After pondering for a moment, Ray Mingkai made this request.
Teresa readily agreed, but she also wanted to see the technician like Ray Mingkai.
Half an hour later, Ray Mingkai and Teresa, who found nothing, returned to the corridor again.
"It seems that this person doesn't know much."
Teresa's face was filled with disappointment.
This was inevitable.
Whether it was Qian Shanwu's confession or the information extracted from the computer, there were amazing coincidences. Under such a coincidence, the only technician who might know something seemed to be clueless. How could this not be disappointing?
"Actually, this isn't something to be disappointed about. After all, we have already guessed the hidden mastermind behind this. "
Ray Mingkai said while thinking.
"I'm afraid that there are already signs of internal strife in the Amalgam. This might be our chance. "
Teresa glanced at Lei Mingkai and said with some annoyance, "You're right."
"Being used as a sharp knife by brother … by that person? Aren't you afraid of being attacked from both inside and outside? "
"Of course! But, as mentioned before, this might be an opportunity. A chance to see the strength of the Amalgam. Other than this, do we have any other choice? If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that the internal strife in the Amalgam will end. At that time, what we will face will be the complete integration of the Amalgam. "
"Risk and reward coexist?" Teresa pondered for a moment, but she still couldn't make a final decision.
"Knight. I need some time. "
"Understood!"
Teresa's hesitation wasn't unexpected.
As the captain of the Sons of Dan Slave, the responsibility on Teresa's shoulders was naturally heavy.
What's more, the next action wasn't in the home ground of the Sons of Dan Slave – the endless sea. Instead, it was to go deep into the land and launch a surprise attack on the secret research institute hidden in the mountains. Under the reversal of attack and defense, the number of troops the Sons of Dan Slave could send out was obvious.
Under such circumstances, every decision would determine the life and death of the attack team sent to the mountains. Therefore, Teresa had to be cautious.
The moon set and the sun rose.
A new day had arrived.
The hijacked ship, under the secret escort of the Sons of Dan Slave, safely returned to the port under the control of the Mithril Alliance and waited for follow-up arrangements.
At this moment, Ray Mingkai, Kalinin, and Sosuke Xiangliang stood in Gnacou and pointed at the wreckage left behind by the miniaturized AS Avenger.
"Knight. This is the new enemy we encountered. This thing is really scary. If careless, two or three well-trained soldiers may not be its opponent. " Kalinin remembered the situation when they encountered these Avenger during the defense of the ship. Until the end of the battle, the casualties on the Sons of Dan Slave all came from the battles with these Avenger. Fortunately, due to the active activities of Melissa, Cruz, and Sosuke Xiangliang on the deck, not many of these terrible things were released.
"Major. If these miniaturized AS carry heavy weapons, I'm afraid the M9 will also be besieged. " Unlike Kalinin's situation, Sosuke Xiangliang, who relied on the M9 to attack the miniaturized AS Avenger from the beginning to the end, also gave an extremely cautious conclusion.
"This is the masterpiece of one of the Amalgam's leaders. It has power beyond the understanding of ordinary people and high intelligence that can handle most of the master's orders. Therefore, the major and Sergeant Xiang Liang's opinion is correct. In the future, we may encounter more enemies of this type. Major, let's get our Marines ready! "
Ray Mingkai didn't directly say that the Avenger was created by Reynold, but Kalinin already understood.
"Mhmm, I'll arrange it. To take care of this big guy, I'm afraid we'll need some heavy weapons. The power of rifles alone may not be able to penetrate its armor. As for the M9, if these Avenger are not equipped with heavy weapons, it can be ignored. I'm afraid this will be a problem in the following operation. "
"No. Major. Maybe in the next operation, we won't encounter these troublesome guys. "Ray Mingkai rejected Kalinin's idea.
"Mhmm? Because of internal strife? "Kalinin immediately guessed Ray Mingkai's meaning.
"Mhmm. The existence of these miniaturized AS is undoubtedly unique to someone. In the impending internal strife of the Amalgam, these unique existences may not appear next to our target. Therefore, our target is not so bold as to dare to carry these uncontrollable existences with him. "
"Indeed. But, the necessary preparations must be made. Sergeant Xiang Liang Sojie, come with me! "
After Kalinin nodded, he pulled Xiang Liang Sojie to arrange the tactical arrangements for the next possible encounter with the Avenger.
Ray Mingkai, who stayed in place, glanced at the pile of Avenger wreckage and no longer cared about the fate of this pile of wreckage. He turned around and walked toward the crossbow that was being prepared.
“AL。 Report the status of the preparation. "
As soon as he entered the cockpit of the crossbow, Ray Mingkai began to check the status of the crossbow.
In the previous battle, the power of the crossbow made Ray Mingkai secretly shocked.
The Lambda drive system could still produce such a powerful force.
If this continues, even the Star Slashing Sword could be used.
"Confirming the identity of the boarder. Welcome back! Knight. "
The moment Ray Mingkai's voice was recorded, AL, which was in standby mode, immediately activated the crossbow system and began to report to the preparation system.
"Knight. The attitude imbalance caused by the previous battle, the damage to the cooling system, and other 160 major and minor failures have been eliminated. Now, the ARX-7 crossbow is in good condition and can be used in combat at any time. "
Ray Mingkai listened while manually calling up the system interface and checking the various failure items listed by AL. The result was reassuring.
In that battle, all the failures that occurred have been eliminated, and there were no more future problems.
"Very good! AL, can you call up the operating data of the Lambda drive system? "
Strangely, AL was silent.
But soon, AL spoke again.
"Knight. There seems to be a slight anomaly in the data of the Lambda drive system, and it can't be called up for the time being. "
"Why?" Ray Mingkai's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"Insufficient data, unable to answer." AL gave an ambiguous answer again, and AL added later, "Knight, if you want to ask if the previous attack can be reproduced, the answer is no."
"Why?" Ray Mingkai was not surprised that AL could guess the question he wanted to ask next. Unexpectedly, AL gave a negative answer.
"Cooling."
The reason given by AL was unexpected by Ray Mingkai, but it was a reasonable answer.
Ray Mingkai had thought of many reasons, but he didn't think of cooling.
Because when the attack broke out, the crossbow did not shut down because of the overheating of the Lambda drive system, which misled Ray Mingkai's judgment.
"Is it because of the weather, and because it was at the bottom of the sea?"
AL's answer suddenly reminded Ray Mingkai and made him understand why the crossbow did not shut down on the spot.
"It's very likely. According to the extreme weather and the temperature changes of the ocean currents at that time, it is likely to be the reason why the crossbow was able to burst out with such an amazing attack. If the crossbow was on land at that time, I'm afraid it would've stopped halfway through the attack. "
"In other words, it is impossible to reproduce that attack?"
But behind this subtle coincidence, there was a cruel face.
"Definitely," AL said affirmatively. But then AL added, "If the crossbow's cooling system can be upgraded by one or two levels, it may be possible to reproduce that attack."
"Really? I see. "
This was an answer that seemed to be accessible, but not accessible.
The cooling technology of this world did not seem to be able to support the Lambda drive system for a long time. Therefore, the previous attack of the crossbow could not be reproduced for a while in the future.
"If Royd is here, maybe there is a way."
Ray Mingkai couldn't help but think.
If the technology of one world is not good enough, then start with the technology of another world, find a new route, and a new way to modify the cooling system.
Perhaps, in this way, it can solve the shortcoming of the Lambda drive system caused by the overload of high temperature.
However, Royd is still in the world of Lu Luxiu.
Suddenly, the broadcast in the ship suddenly sounded.
"Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! All attention! All attention! "
The sudden emergency broadcast made everyone stop what they were doing and raise their heads to look in the direction of the broadcast.
In the broadcast, Teresa's voice seemed to be anxious.
"All attention! All attention! We have received an urgent notice from the combat headquarters. In six hours, the ship will set sail back to Merida Island to avoid danger. All personnel must be prepared! Above! "
"What? Why are we suddenly returning to Merida Island? "
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused everyone to be puzzled.
But in the crossbow, Ray Mingkai received an encrypted communication from Teresa.
"Knight. It seems that our action will have to be delayed for some time. "
"Why?" Ray Mingkai was also puzzled like the people outside.
"Because NASA suddenly released an internal message. Asteroid Z 00061 has broken through the orbit of the Earth and the Moon and will fall into a sea area in the western Pacific Ocean in 72 hours. In order to avoid danger, the son of Dan Nu has to choose to return to Merida Island to resist the possible tsunami disaster. "
“?! The asteroid hit Earth? "
Teresa's news made Ray Mingkai a little confused.
In his memory of the All-Metal World, there was no such thing as an asteroid hitting Earth.
