Chapter 258 Rebirth Plan II (5,000 words!)
After a long corridor, Ben and the fat old man stood in front of an inconspicuous door. But this place is already 500 meters underground in Asgard. Although the corridor behind them is quiet and there is no half a person, the monitors hidden in the dead corners and walls will record everyone who passes by all day.
Asgard's central brain will divide 10% of the energy to monitor this corridor, and anyone who appears in the corridor will compare with the information in the brain information database at the first time. Once there is a person without permission, nearly 100 30cm thick alloy armor plates will drop in the corridor in an instant. Those who are judged to be "intruder" will be separated by armor plates, and within 5 seconds, nearby police personnel will arrive at the scene. And these guards are equipped with ten eighth-order capable people all year round. For ordinary cities, an eighth-order capable person is already unimaginable. Only Asgard can keep these people under the dark base for many years, and there are as many as ten.
In addition to these ten eighth-level abilities, there are as many as 100 other seventh- to fifth-order abilities, and the number of ordinary servants is as high as 3,000. Such a configuration is already a terrible force enough to flatten many towns in this era. But the army arranged under Asgard is just to guard the super biochemical experimental base equivalent to Asgard.
And Ben and the fat old man are now located in the core area of this experimental base. There are only three people in the whole Asgard.
One of them is naturally Ben, the highest power in Asgard, and the other is the fat old man next to Ben, who is also the director of the experimental base. The last person is the successor of this training and the god of war, one of the five main gods.
If the Twelve Divine Hall is the soul of Asgard, then the room behind the gate in front of me is Asgard's brain. The room behind the door is not only an important computer room for the central brain, but also Professor Rafael's private office. When the fat old professor went through a series of careful authentications, the seemingly ordinary door slowly opened.
It first indents 10 centimeters inward, and then divides in the center. The doors on both sides contracted into the left and right walls. At this time, the surface is only the door of wood material, but the middle is an extremely hard alloy. And it is not an ordinary alloy. Its density is about 20 times that of ordinary alloy, and its weight is nearly 100 tons. If it is not controlled by the hydraulic machine hidden in the wall, and the manpower wants to separate them, it can only be done unless it has more than the ninth level of power.
When the door is fully opened, it presents a circular space with an area of about 500 square meters. In this circular office, the walls are filled with countless light screens, which form the special walls of the office. There is an ordinary seat placed in the middle of the office. Behind the chair is something connected to the slate. This is the lifter of the seat. It looks like a square steel pipe, but it can control the seat to rise halfway when the doctor needs it.
This office is hundreds of meters high. When the doctor rises in mid-air, the lights on the sky and the ground will go out, making the doctor turn around in space. Behind the chair is a helmet connected to countless cables. Through the sensors in the helmet, the doctor can operate the central intelligent brain with his own sense of thought to deduce or adjust any information he needs.
When Ben walked into this office, he raised his eyes and saw that the light screen of the wall corresponded to the different experimental areas of the base. Each experimental area is divided into nearly 100 pictures to achieve the purpose of no dead angle observation. The research projects in each experimental area are different. At a glance, I saw that living corpses, alien insects, giant beasts and even mutant plants exist in them.
The significance of this super biochemical experimental base lies in the study of various mutaphic organisms and even capable people. Under the auspices of Dr. Rafael, researchers will extract and combine the genes of various experimental targets to create controllable biological weapons. Different lives and numbers determine thousands of models of gene combinations. But not all combinations can give birth to new life and transform into biological weapons, clearing some strange-shaped corpses all the time in the visible culture tanks.
They are failures of gene combinations, and in almost infinite combinations, the chance of success is slim. This seems almost incomprehensible. Asgard invested a lot of resources but only got these failures. There seems to be no need for such experiments to continue. However, Ben believes that when the factors of failure are eliminated one by one, success is not far away.
It turned out that he was right. After the failed gene combination scheme was denied and archived, the researchers who gradually realized the variety and quantity of the combination finally succeeded in creating two biological weapons this spring.
On the wall on the left side, there are two large light screens, which respectively present a picture of a culture tank.
In the picture on the left, this culture tank is extremely large, ten times the length and width of the ordinary culture tank, about 200 meters. In the culture tank is a dark green base liquid, and an equally huge dark shadow in this green base liquid. This is a biological weapon named Steel Fortress, which looks like an ancient mammoth. But it has biological armor on its head, back, chest and limbs. What's more strange is that there are two raised bones on the back of this biological weapon, which is a biological rapid-fire gun that has not yet been formed by the steel fortress.
This is a semi-finished steel fortress. When it is finally completed, the steel fortress will have the dual characteristics of defense and attack. Its biological armor will cover the whole body, which is three times harder than alloy armor, and its defense is equivalent to fifth-order defense enhancement, which makes it difficult to kill the steel fortress. The two-tube biological rapid-fire guns that will eventually form on the back of the steel fortress can bombard the creatures in the biological weapon in the form of shells, which makes the steel fortress able to attack and defend, which is a tough biological weapon.
Just according to Professor Rafael's design, the defense strength of the steel fortress should be equivalent to the seventh-order ability, and the body is not a rapid-fire gun, but a biological beam gun. The beam cannon will have the effect of both penetration and splashing, with an attack interval of 3 seconds, of which 2 seconds of cooling and 1 second of charging. And these data are strictly deduced conclusions.
But in the real gene combination, I don't know the reason, which makes the originally rigorous data also deviate. Not only has the defense level decreased, but the bioluminal gun has also become a rapid-fire gun, which can be said to be an incomplete version of the steel fortress.
As for the biological weapon in another light screen, it is a wolf-shaped creature called a sentry. The sentinel is similar to the Fenri wolf, with hair like a black waterfall. It floats in the same green base liquid, but it emits a little fluorescence from the root of each hair to the end. From a distance, the sentry is like a burning black flame.
The sentry's eyes were closed, but a vertical pupil appeared in the center of his forehead. Vertical pupils are composed of countless concentric circles. If you look carefully, you will find that these concentric circles are all arranged by numbers. This eye will record everything the sentry sees, and it will naturally emit a special wave energy. After the wave is received and decrypted, the picture seen by the sentry will be restored.
The advantage of Sentinel is speed and record, and its attack method is to convert organisms into black flames and spray them from wolf kisses to attack the enemy. The black flame also has a high temperature of 500 degrees and is sticky. Once it is contaminated by the black fire, it is difficult to extinguish it all. However, compared with the tough steel fortress, the sentinel's attack is relatively weak, and it is easy to be killed if it is not good at defense.
This is also an incomplete version of the biological weapon. In Professor Rafael's design, the sentry should be an upright human species similar to the werewolf, so as to adapt to more and more complex terrain environments. The full version of the sentry can pop up the light claws condensed by high thermal energy, which can cut open ordinary alloy armor. Moreover, werewolf-shaped sentinels have an efficient food digestive system, which can squeeze out energy from almost any substance to provide their own activities.
This form of sentry can penetrate into the enemy for a long time and is difficult to be found. Unlike the incomplete version of Sentinel, you need to eat a lot of food to maintain the energy needed for activities, so that the enemy can easily find its existence.
But no matter what, the steel fortress and sentry are finally the epoch-making work of Asgard. With them, Asgard is the second city with biological weapons after Asmo in the far north of Iceland, although the definition of biological weapons is not the same.
As long as there is another period of time for data collection and error correction. It could have been predicted that a complete version of biological weapons would soon appear, or two incomplete versions of biological weapons would be mass-produced. The intelligence of biological weapons is like a seven-year-old child, which can recognize simple instructions. In terms of ability, it is not comparable to those with high-level abilities, and even those with intermediate abilities are much worse. Their potential has been determined at the beginning of creation, and the size of their potential depends on the origin of the gene and the fusion of the gene combination.
For example, the defense and strength of the steel fortress are equivalent to the fifth level of ability, and it can no longer be upgraded. Until the end of life, the steel fortress can only maintain the fifth level of ability. It will not be upgraded or regressed. This is the particularity of biological weapons. Perhaps Asgard can create higher-level biological weapons, but it can't create life that can evolve independently. After all, that's the realm of gods.
"Look here, old friend."
Professor Rafael's voice interrupted Ben's idea, and he came to his senses and looked at Rafael with a smile. The fat old man put on a sensor helmet. After a series of instructions in his mind, the light screen in front of them was scattered around the wall like an invisible hand, revealing a large screen nearly ten meters wide in the center.
The screen was first dark, followed by countless data rising from the bottom up. They are so fast that it is difficult to capture them. Below these data streams, there is a golden progress bar. At this time, the fast-rolling data on the screen sometimes suddenly stopped, followed by a certain data being extracted and floating into the progress bar below.
Every time a data floats in, the progress bar pushes forward with difficulty. However, information is constantly extracted from the data flow, so although it is slow, the progress bar advances at a speed visible to the naked eye. The movement lasted for about ten minutes, and no information floated in the data stream, and the movement of the progress bar stopped.
This progress bar is divided into seven stages, representing seven levels of gene lock. At present, the progress bar stops at a distance quite close to the secondary gene lock. It was so close that it seemed to jump over at any time, but in fact it stopped. Let the picture on the light screen jump gently due to electronic imaging, giving people the feeling that the progress bar is still moving. But he couldn't deceive Ben's eyes. He stared for a minute and compared the picture he saw with one frame per second. There was not even a millimeter gap in the progress bar.
"What's going on?" Ben asked.
"After coming to Asgard from zero, his gene lock progress bar has not moved forward. It was not until yesterday that I came back here after researching a project that I didn't know when his progress bar began to advance. Rafael said excitedly, "You know, although I can make the progress bar move forward by filling some data, so as to predict zero genetic trends from God, the direction of ability development, etc. But this process is not only tedious, but also very cumbersome and easy to encode. Even with the assistance of the central intelligent brain, in the past two months, the progress bar has not even advanced 1%. But tomorrow, I found that it has been pushed forward by 10%! Exactly 10 percentage points, old friend, this also makes the current progress of zero only 4% away from the secondary gene lock.
Ben smiled and said nothing. He knew Rafael. The progress bar is really exciting, but Rafael's excitement is definitely more than that.
Sure enough, Rafael used the sensing helmet to continue to give instructions to the brain. So the central light screen shrank, and several ordinary light screens moved over. These light screens contain digital formulas that can't be understood, some are complex, different from human gene sequence charts, and some are three-dimensional models of biological weapons that have never been seen before.
"What are these?"
"Revelation!" Rafael took down the sensor helmet and said excitedly, "I have differentiated countless information from the analyzed part of the zero progress bar. Old friend, it's hard for you to imagine that the data contained in that ten-point time bar almost includes genes, life, and some knowledge that I can't understand. It is no exaggeration to say that it presents another world!"
"Zero progress bar is the key to open a new world to us!" Rafael pointed to the shrinking progress bar light screen and said, "A small part of the analyzed data can be immediately applied to our current research project. For example, the gene completion of biological weapons and the combination of genes that we have never thought of. And more, we need to continue to study before we can come to a conclusion.
"That's enough." Ben patted Rafael on the shoulder and said, "You're right, old friend. Zero is a brand-new creation, a successful combination of man and God. I can almost foresee that the end of his evolution is the new human beings in our theory, or the ultimate life form conceived by the Atlantis civilization, but not realized. And whether we can get there or not depends on you. You are as strong as Professor Halson!"
When he heard the name Halson, the excitement on the fat old man's face gradually calmed down. After thinking about it, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If it were theoretical knowledge, I don't think I would lose to the teacher or even surpass him. But the teacher said that we do the most scientific and rigorous work, but at the same time we need children's imagination. I ask myself that I won't lose to the teacher, but I lack imagination, old friend. This damn world has squeezed out all my fantasies about it, so that I can only focus on the present and can't imagine the future!"
The heaviness of Professor Rafael's tone also made the smile on my face a pause. But after a while, a smile unfolded and Ben shouted, "If this road is full of thorns, I would like to go with you!"
This is the words of encouragement from their former friends. At this moment, it is particularly touching. Rafael reluctantly smiled and said, "Thanks for remembering you, think about it now. Although the days were hard, we lived a full life. At least you don't have to worry about starving to death now, but you and Ogglock have fallen out. Seriously, I can't tell which kind of life I prefer now.
"Wrareless thinking will only distract us, old friend." Ben sighed: "Now Oglock is no longer what he was then. The Oglock who advocates democracy and freedom is dead. Now only the speaker of the dark parliament is dark and horrible. As you know, what Ologk wants is not a free country, but a feudal dynasty that respects him. If he is allowed to realize it, the mainland will have no democracy for a long time. Look at those people outside, old friends. Although they have not had a hard time in Asgard, they have at least dignity. If Oglock rules, what's the difference between them and cattle and sheep?
"I understand." Rafael smiled bitterly and said, "If it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have broken up with him with you. And in order to avoid the decline of countless lives like 30 years ago, I have been desperately studying the knowledge of biological weapons, hoping to replace living soldiers with them. You know, my strengths are not in biochemistry.
After a pause, Rafael sighed: "Now I admire Professor Willoster, who was as famous as the teacher. I can make a difference in biological weapons by relying on the teacher's notes. At that time, he conceived the terrible biological weapon of the pioneer out of thin air. If it hadn't been for the day of catastrophe, maybe Professor Willoster's pioneers would have come out.
"Yes, if we find the experimental data of pioneers, then our research on biological weapons can take fewer detours." Ben also sighed, but he didn't know that because of zero, Asgard and the pioneer's information were lost.
