The engineers collectively broke into a sweat for Qin Xin, yet were inspired by Qin Xin’s courageous leadership, quickly retrieving the prepared interference device from the toolbox.
Activate, adjust settings!
A wireless frequency to suppress and disrupt signals was emitted, causing a wave of dizziness among those present.
But everyone gritted their teeth and held firm; not a single man backed down.
This was a battle between humans and machines.
If they retreated, they would be reduced to flesh and bone powder by the machines, with no remains left.
What’s more, their leader was charging ahead; how could they become deserters?
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Finally, "Boom—!" A massive synchronized explosion thundered.
All the machines abruptly halted, and the signal was interrupted.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Xin grabbed hold of one of the crushers and quickly opened its control panel: "Caliper."
An engineer behind her immediately rummaged through the toolbox and handed it to her.
"Plum wrench."
"Electric drill."
"Melting knife."
As Qin Xin called out the names of the tools, the engineers handed them to her in an orderly manner.
Damn, the chairman is so impressive; while others repair machines like clumsy workers, the chairman repairs machines like an elegant surgeon!
Qin Xin deftly modified the hardware of the crusher.
Closing the control panel, she altered the settings of the machine’s intelligent program.
Although they were being attacked by construction machines, the intelligent systems were interconnected. If there were more intelligent robots ahead, by changing the system network settings, she could block the controllers’ operations over them.
Machines inherently have limitations.
No matter how powerful a machine is, if its intelligent system is breached, it becomes a pile of scrap metal.
And Qin Xin succeeded.
With her engineers, she stepped past the motionless crushers and dryers, continuing forward on their journey.
Passing through the hall and walking another few dozen meters, they encountered a group of mini excavator robots standing dully against the wall—just one of these could have destroyed all the teaching buildings of Imperial University months ago and easily twisted human limbs apart.
However.
At this moment, those powerful mini excavator robots were all obediently immobile, resembling well-behaved puppets.
Continuing forward.
They passed by a warehouse-like storage space.
Inside, it was piled with unknown steel materials.
Qin Xin paused slightly in her steps: "Bring some of this material along."
The engineers picked up a small piece, surprisingly light, not typical of construction materials, but rather like high-tech materials used in aerospace.
Some engineers also discovered many circuit boards and chips behind the steel.
"The layout of this chip is so advanced! Chairman, I’ve never seen this design before; can we take it?"
Referring to Qin Xin, Qin Xin waved her hand to let them take a sample of each type.
The engineers gazed curiously at all of it, completely unexpected to find so much contrivance in this underground passage.
Weren’t they here to fight? How did it suddenly feel like a treasure hunt adventure?
However, soon, an even more astonishing scene greeted them ahead.
Up ahead, three iron boxes were lined up, from which came disturbing, muffled groans!
There are people inside the iron boxes!
What were they doing?
The boxes were completely sealed, obscuring the interior, which only fueled endless speculation.
With a wave of Qin Xin’s hand, the engineers behind her understood immediately, taking out tools from the toolbox to start cutting the iron boxes, attempting to break them open into a door.
However, the tools left not a trace on the iron boxes.
The material of the iron boxes was special, not made of ordinary steel!
Can’t open them.
