Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 91 First Glimpse of Another World
In the hour or so before the robot was placed down.

They had exhausted all their ideas and tried every possible way to explore the other side of the portal.

Initially, various optical and acoustic detection devices were used, but to no avail.

Then someone suggested using drones to allow maintenance military aircraft to transport the equipment in.

The result was successful, but the wireless remote control device lost contact immediately after entering. It is unclear whether this was due to the distance or the portal itself having shielding capabilities.

They then tried a wired device, extending the camera into the portal. The transmission did work, but the wire broke.

The defeat was announced again.

Finally, everyone got so anxious that they started pulling their hair and stomping their feet.

Seeing this situation.

Dr. Payton stepped forward and demanded that a rope be tied around his waist so that he could jump in while holding the camera.

It was only after strong opposition and obstruction from the crowd that the matter was dropped.

A group of top scientists and researchers in the industry pondered for a while before coming up with the idea of ​​intelligent robots with autonomous movement capabilities, which have become quite popular in recent years.

Finally, several highly accomplished individuals in the field of mechanics took action, collecting parts from various locations and assembling a bionic reconnaissance robot on the spot.

Fortunately, the most difficult system model and dynamic diagram are readily available.

This saved us from having to directly use the Peyton camera for exploration.

After that, things became much simpler; a few people fiddled with it for a while.

A few minutes later, a simple program was written for this newly developed intelligent reconnaissance robot, including obstacle avoidance and automatic return.

It looks a bit rudimentary, but the requirements for exploration are not high; it only needs to test the most basic security behind the door.

If possible, it would be even better if video footage could be recorded so that preliminary adjustments could be made to the corresponding equipment.

With the debugging completed, the screen finally displayed the footage recorded by the exploration robot during its mission.

At first glance, the robot's camera showed Payton's gaunt, ugly face.

Then, the image jolted, as if it had been placed on the ground.

The footage shows the faint conversations of some researchers nearby.

With a hum of motors turning, the robot began to move its bionic limbs toward the black door frame that was just inches away.

As the scene in front of the camera was filled with a purple light, the image began to distort and shake, just like the surface of water, making everyone dizzy.

The final image flashes briefly before being completely filled with white.

As the display on the screen gradually returned to normal, the scenery in front of the robot had completely changed.

Perhaps there is heavy interference in the space on the other side of the portal, causing the video to stutter and the image to be fragmented from time to time.

This is the result of two top scholars studying and restoring it for a long time.

Even so, the people surrounding the screen remained so quiet you could hear a pin drop, their eyes glued to the scene on the screen.

The camera's low-angle view was obscured by a large, cracked, brownish-yellow rock.

Judging from its color and texture, it should be a rock that was accidentally dropped into the portal during a previous battle.

Looking through the obstruction at other parts of the camera lens, all that could be seen was a sea of ​​red.

The surroundings seemed quite dark, but a strong light shone steadily from a very far distance in the distance.

The robot, which had been programmed in advance, stood still for a moment. After its sensors scanned the surrounding structures, the pre-programmed program was activated.

The image swayed from side to side for a moment, then disappeared into the gap left by the piled-up rocks.

Next, the already unclear scene turned completely gray, indicating that they had already crawled into a crevice in the rocks where there was no light.

This sight made everyone want to slap their thighs in anger.

A researcher who looked quite young said this resentfully.

"I told you we shouldn't worry too much about the battery life; we should install a lighting module!"

However, at this moment, everyone was focused on the screen and no one paid any attention to him.

The person seemed to only complain once, and then said nothing more, continuing to stare at the dark screen.

I'm looking forward to getting through this undisplayed area as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although it was a hastily assembled robot, it was not slow.

The whole process took a little over a minute, and finally some shaky images appeared on the dimly lit screen. As the distance zoomed in further, it became clear that they had reached the exit blocked by rocks.

The outside was just as bright red as when we first entered.

The people in front of the screen stared at it nervously, their hands unconsciously clenching their white coats.

But just as everyone was on edge, a sharp-eyed young researcher suddenly exclaimed.

"Look at that! What's that? It looks like the corpse of some kind of creature?"

Upon hearing his words, the other people who had also noticed the anomaly nodded in agreement.

Reminded by this, Watson became curious and began operating the machine to rewind the video to the segment the young researcher had pointed out.

Sure enough, after rewinding the video several times, it finally paused on an image.

Just as the robot's perspective was about to leave the area of ​​the rock crevice, it saw a dark shadow pressed under a rock next to the crevice.

It doesn't look very big, but traces of some animal limbs can be identified.

This prompted a group of people to ponder deeply over the blurry image.

Finally, a biologist with considerable expertise in small mammals offered an uncertain opinion.

"...Judging from its appearance, it seems to be a bat."

As he said this, he took two steps forward and gestured back and forth with his hand over the dark shadow on the screen.

"However, it is relatively small in size, so it may be an immature grey-feathered bat, or some other species that are not commonly found in this area."

Professor Watson nodded in agreement upon hearing his analysis; he was also quite accomplished in biology.

However, the image in the video was too blurry to confirm, but after the other party pointed it out, the appearance did indeed match.

"This must have been accidentally swept away and fallen in during the previous incident, but judging from its shape, half of its body should have been crushed by the rocks, so it should be completely dead."

His statement was affirmed by everyone. Since it was confirmed that they were not native creatures from the other side of the portal, they no longer paid attention to them.

I started readjusting the video and continued browsing from where I left off.

As the video resumed playing, the exploration robot had now left the native rocky area where it had accidentally fallen into the portal.

By the light of that unknown fire, the surrounding dim area was vaguely revealed to everyone.

Looking into the distance, it seemed that only a few hundred meters away, a towering rock wall blocked the view.

And the same applies when the machine is turned to look left or right.

There is only a deep, seemingly endless cave to the southwest, and then there is the direction from which the machine came.

From a slightly higher point on the walkway, you can see a huge cliff over there, and the strange lights are coming from that direction.

Because it was so far away, and there seemed to be some thick dust in the air obscuring the view, only a faint crimson line could be seen.

It extends from the top of the line of sight directly into the area beyond the exploration.

Although the image was blurry, everyone could still sense its immense scale.

"That might be some kind of tree? The structure here looks like some kind of underground cave, and perhaps the plants inside have evolved the ability to emit light, which is not uncommon in botany."

A professor of botany research said this.

However, it was quickly sidelined, clearly indicating that some people did not agree with this view.

"But it could also be a luminescent mineral, which is more common! We cannot draw conclusions hastily, as this could cause significant losses for subsequent explorations!"

"That's what a geological exploration researcher with many years of experience said."

However, this was immediately refuted by another researcher who vehemently denied it.

Sitting in the center, Watson looked at the chaotic scene before him and felt a headache coming on.

"Alright, alright~ Stop arguing~ Watch the video first, then we'll have plenty of time for you old folks to argue later."

Professor Watson finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the arguing crowd.

Fortunately, as the team's chief researcher, his words still carried some weight.

Some people who had been arguing heatedly, though they had sour faces, had at least temporarily ceased hostilities.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Payton pressed the button on the machine next to him again.

The images on the screen started moving again.
