Chapter 219 The Disappearing Computer
In fact, Chen Jian no longer had much hope for the 008 fortification.

Huadu has been here for so many years, no matter how many things there are inside, they have all been destroyed by them long ago.

The most important reason why he wanted to enter the 008 fortification was that he wanted to obtain the data inside the fortification.

He wanted to know why this fortification had become semi-destroyed.

This reason is very important. Although it cannot directly reveal the secret of the catastrophe, it is very likely to provide them with clues about the "secondary disasters".

The more clues he has, the more comfortable he will be in dealing with the follow-up issues.

That was why, when the Mechanicus took control of the city of Flora and he finally stood at the entrance of Fort 008, which had been converted into a large warehouse and was in such a dilapidated state that even the original appearance of the fortification was completely unrecognizable, his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

Even though he saw at a glance that the sophisticated nuclear fusion device had been dragged out and even the laser had been transformed into some kind of "weapon device" and had long since become ineffective, he did not show any disappointment.

On the contrary, Lei Jie was deeply distressed by all this.

"Damn, these stupid Huadu people!"

"Any good thing will be ruined in their hands!"

"Laser igniter! Use it as a laser gun!"

"I really want to shove this thing up his ass and burn it through from the end to the end!"

"If you don't know how to use it, don't use it. If you don't understand it, don't touch it

"Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"So many cannons, so many weapons, so much food, just waste some of these!"

"The industrial machine tools inside can be dismantled and used as raw materials, and the robots can be sold to the Mechanicus as ornaments. Why are you dismantling the fusion reactor?"

"What on earth is going on in that dog's brain?!"

"calm down."

Chen Jian patted Lei Jie on the shoulder and said comfortingly:

"Maybe they didn't tear it down? Maybe it was already like this when they came?"

"Bullshit! This is the style of these people in Huadu!"

Lei Jie spat and then said:

"Have you forgotten that they converted the jetpack into a flamethrower? They definitely dismantled the fusion reactor!"

"I'm really impressed. No wonder these idiots in the wasteland can't develop. They don't know how to use good things in front of them. What else can I say?"

"Okay, okay."

Chen Jian interrupted again:
"The 008 fortification was already in a semi-destroyed state. It is very likely that the fusion reactor and even the entire power supply system were already damaged when they came in."

“Without guidance, it’s normal not to know how to use these things.”

"Don't be too hard on them - have you finished the equipment statistics for the Mechanicus?"

Seeing that Chen Jian changed the subject, Lei Jie could only suppress his anger.

He nodded, took a long breath and said:
“The statistics have been completed.”

"The weapons counted so far include 67 large-caliber artillery pieces of various types and thousands of rounds of ammunition."

"There are more guns, but a large portion are in poor condition, and there are not many automatic weapons that are usable."

"A small number of small-caliber artillery, a small number of individual missiles, and a small number of anti-aircraft weapons."

"There are a small number of odd-shaped small individual equipment, even curved guns."

"A large number of protective equipment, a large number of rocket launchers, and a large number of grenades. The current number of grenades is still more than 3. It is estimated that the people of Huadu will not be able to throw away all of them in their lifetime."

"Fortification 008 is really a military fortification, and its supplies are mainly military equipment."

"It is probably for this reason that Huadu has been able to rise so quickly."

"But I still say that, all the good things have been ruined by them, and what is left now cannot be said to be bad, in any case it is not satisfactory."

"It's good enough."

Chen Jian waved his hand and said:

"These dozens of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition are a big harvest. Let's find a way to transport them back to 011."

"We can give some of it to Jinling. The Mechanicus won't use it anyway."

"Once they have it, it will be ours sooner or later, and we don't have to argue about transportation."

"That makes sense." Lei Jie gave Chen Jian a thumbs up in admiration, and then asked:
"Would you like to go in now?"

"Go in, of course you have to go in."

Chen Jian put on his helmet and led the way into the fortifications, while the others, including Xu He, followed closely behind.

Just like the scene seen from outside the main passage, the entire huge underground fortification is in dilapidated condition.

But it is obvious that there is not much sign of natural erosion inside.

This means that it didn’t take long for the fortification to be fully opened.

It was humans, not natural forces, that destroyed the fortifications.

Chen Jian sighed regretfully, walked around the ant colony robot track that collapsed from the ceiling, and walked straight to the downward stairs inside the fortification.

The composite material-cast staircase was still solid. The footsteps of several people echoed in the empty fortifications, and the tactical flashlights dispelled the darkness around them.

"The living area is completely destroyed. Everything here has been emptied out."

"Release the drone, Fuxi scan the living area, we continue down."

"clear."

Fuxi's voice fell in the headset, and Chen Jian led the team to continue downwards.

After crossing the living layer, weapons storage layer, industrial workshop layer, and self-sustaining layer, the few of them finally reached the energy layer.

Here, Chen Jian saw the fusion device that had been dismantled to the point where only the frame was left.

"Just like 011, it is composed of three fusion reactors, but the model of the unit here is different from that of 011."

"But the problem is not serious. There are no obvious signs of large-scale damage to the entire energy layer. All the damage is man-made traces caused during the dismantling process."

"The energy layer should not be the main reason for the damage to the fortifications."

"It certainly won't be."

Reggie agreed and said:
"Most of the equipment here has been preserved, which means that when the people of Huadu opened up this fortification, the support system here should still be able to operate to a certain extent."

“There will definitely be no problem with energy.”

“Even if there was a problem, it was only after the fortifications were opened.”

"That leaves only one last place."

"Computing power room."

"Yes."

Chen Jian continued to go down, and according to Fuxi's guidance, they passed through the deep tunnel and entered the real center of the fortification, which was the core room of quantum computing.

All the isolation gates here have been opened, and it is obvious that they have been looted by the people of Huadu.

But that’s not the worst news.

What made Chen Jian particularly uneasy was that the deeper he went, the fewer signs of human destruction there were.

By the time they really approached the fully enclosed machine room in the center, even the footprints had disappeared.

The people of Huadu did not enter this area.

Or rather, they were not interested in the area and therefore did not visit it many times.

Chen Jian had a bad feeling in his heart.

He switched his tactical flashlight to floodlight mode and walked straight to the enclosed machine room.

Just as he turned to the side of the computer room, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The last isolation door of the computer room was open.

And inside, it was empty.

The quantum computer that was supposed to be deployed here is gone.

Someone took it away.

It’s about taking away, not dismantling.

Because those quantum computers, along with their huge cooling bases, have disappeared.

Disappeared completely!
