As they drew closer, they could see the enormous "mechanical insect" ahead, nearly filling the pipeline tunnel. Beneath its "slender jointed limbs," hundreds or thousands of "larvae" writhed and surged. Some even floated up, clinging to higher sections of the "limbs" and shifting position in an endless flow.
"Whoa!"
In an instant, Liang Lu revealed a few minor details that contradicted his status as an "experienced hand," but no one had the mind to care right now. The dedicated Repair Vehicle continued forward. As they got closer, electric sparks occasionally flashing between the "larvae" and "jointed limbs" revealed more details.
There were six "jointed limbs," each covered in protrusions. Every protrusion was a special workstation that could accommodate one or two people. There were roughly a hundred in total, yet fewer than a tenth were currently operational.
As for the so-called "larvae," they were actually all kinds of self-propelled maintenance robots. Some were damaged, while others needed their mounted tools replaced. Driven by commands, they transferred here, automatically branching off between the "mechanical insect's" limbs and beneath its abdomen to complete repairs and replacements.
"Tsk, tsk. A Soil Layer Voyager medium mobile Maintenance Station. I never thought they'd actually deploy one of these big field-operation monsters."
Ronan looked the so-called "Maintenance Station" up and down. Excluding the "jointed limbs," its main body was roughly twenty meters long. Its shell-like body was at least eight meters wide at its broadest point and stood around six meters tall. Including the image formed by its upright "jointed limbs," it looked even larger.
"It looks cumbersome, but its structure can actually compress. If necessary, it can also use Space Point Penetration technology to warp the rock strata and race through the underground at high speed..."
Ronan could not help letting out a "wow" of
