Chapter 635 King Arthur
The car finally stopped in front of a building with a metal outer wall, which was nearly ten floors high and six-sided. At the top of the building is a statue of unknown flowers, and below is a row of English "Theabundanceofthetower", which means the tower of abundance.
"This is our command building, Mr. Franklin. Please come in!" Jumping out of the car, Ulson made a gesture like a gentleman.
Frank got out of the car and followed Ulson, Oran and Jesse into the Tower of abundance. As soon as they entered the lobby on the first floor of the building, they saw the busy scene. There were staff running back and forth in the lobby. They didn't even have time to say hello to Ulson and others. Just don't glance at Franklin's curiosity and go his own ways.
Ulson smiled and said, "Please don't mind, we are always busy. There is nothing we can do. After all, our opponent is a huge empire. Anyway, our time is always tight. So we have a saying that you don't have time to rest until you die.
"Very philosophical." Franklin nodded.
"Thank you for your recognition." Ulson added, "Sorry, our elevator didn't take into account people of your height. Therefore, we can only take the freight elevator up.
"It doesn't matter." Franklin doesn't mind at all. Ulson then took him out of the direction of the freight elevator, but the width of the freight elevator was enough, but the height still could not let Franklin stand, so the giant could only sit cross-legged on the ground. When he came to the tenth floor, he accidentally hit the top of the freight elevator when he stood up, which made the elevator shake, making the elevator operator pale.
Franklin awkwardly drilled into the cargo elevator. When he turned around and apologized to the elevator operator, a woman screamed behind him: "Be careful, big man!" He turned around, but it turned out that he almost knocked down a woman pushing the pickup truck. Looking at Franklin's dry smile, even Ulson's deep eyes had a smile.
"Welcome to my combat hall." Walking through a long corridor, you can see the whole city of steel, the rough steel city, from the floor-to-ceiling window. After the busy dispatching room, the staff inside sent commands to every terminal in the city with extremely fast speed and dazzling movements. The Tower of Harvest is like Ista's brain. As the command center, it is extremely busy every day, so that the whole Ista can operate unimpeded. This efficiency allows Ista to confront the Pope's Hall, which is moving towards the strength of a country, both industrially and militarily.
Ulson took Franklin to the battle hall on the Tower of Harvest. The battle hall is called "Horizon", which shows that Ulson's ambition is not small. The horizon hall seems to be much quieter and deserted than other places. When the two automatic doors behind him are closed, it isolates all the sounds and light outside. The light in the horizon hall is relatively dim, and there is a continental holographic projection model floating in the center of the spacious hall. With this model as the center, it is surrounded by three floors inside and outside, high and low workbench. On the workbench, people in white uniforms were quietly operating the intelligent brain in front of them. They did not turn back because of the appearance of Ulson and others. Everyone was focused on operating the intelligent brain, so countless data generated every second.
The continental model in the hall kept making minor adjustments, and Franklin couldn't see any way after looking at it for a long time. Finally, Ulson smiled faintly and said, "We are simulating some data. When the results come out, it will be time for us to declare full war on the Holy See."
Franklin was shocked and knew that the continental model and those staff were conducting a general attack scheme simulation in order to derive the best data. When the work was completed, it was when Ista sounded the horn of the general attack.
Ulson took Franklin to a private office, and he was left alone in the room. Oran and Jesse did not come in, but went to deal with their own affairs. Ulson stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office and looked at Ista outside the window and said, "Mr. Franklin, you must be wondering why we pay so much attention to you. As I said before, your value is unlimited, and Sauron should also know this. In order to compete for you, we even planned an operation before the general attack began. Unfortunately, although that operation destroyed a research base in Sauron, it missed you. It was not until a few months later that we met again.
Franklin remembered that when he woke up at the Motta base, he did know that the base had been attacked. But at that time, he didn't know that it was the rebels who attacked the base, and they were still here for themselves. Ulson continued: "Actually, our battle with the Pope's Hall has lasted for nearly ten years. I don't know how many ancestors' lives have been sacrificed to have the current scale and strength, and I'm just expanding the strength of its scale on this basis. I don't think even Sauron will know. In fact, since three years ago, we have the strength to monitor the movements of the Holy See!"
"Of course, our intelligence system is not perfect enough to monitor the specific details of the Pope's Hall, but through the mobilization of their personnel, materials and troops, we can't deduce what kind of actions they are carrying out. Just three years ago, we suddenly found that the Pope's Hall secretly used a lot of materials and troops, and a group of biochemical experts were secretly brought out of New Rome. This information attracted our attention. After nearly half a year of tracking and reconnaissance, we found that the Pope's Hall found a spaceship in an underground place in the western continent.
Hearing this, Franklin blurted out, "Ark, they found the Ark."
"Is that ship called Ark? It seems to be an interstellar-themed spaceship.
Franklin didn't say anything, but clenched his fist. At the end of the Atlantean era, the war with Procius has entered the late stage. The comprehensive intervention of cosmic star beasts has a huge impact on the environment in the earth's atmosphere, and the direct intervention of the planet's will Agradis has triggered a devastating disaster. The sky city no longer exists, and the battle has spread from the sky to the surface. The only remaining spaceship loaded all the last hope of the Atlanteans, so Franklin named it the Ark.
However, when the ark carried the only remaining hope of this era to leave the earth and leave this planet that was about to perish at any time, an accident happened...
"Sorry, it seems to remind you of something unpleasant." Ulson brought Franklin back to reality with an apologetic voice.
The fallen man looked at him and said, "Let's go back to the Ark, when the Pope's Hall found it and drew a conclusion from the traces above. This spacecraft did not come from outer space, but a product of the earth. That is to say, in the last era, there was already a civilization far more advanced than now, including Mr. Franklin, a total of 27 people who have crossed two eras. But what surprised us more was that the biochemical experts in the Pope's Hall found something amazing in you.
"Adaptive cells!"
"Adaptive cells?" Franklin showed a wry smile: "It turns out that it is called this name now."
Ulson was slightly surprised and asked, "I don't know what you call it, Mr. Franklin?"
"The blood of disaster." Franklin said lightly, "But I don't want to mention its origin. It was a very painful experience..."
Ulson nodded and said, "Well, let's call it an adaptive cell. This name is a word given by the laboratory of Pope's Hall. Why is it called this name? Because Dr. Jane, the chief biochemical expert of Pope's Chamber, found in your blood that Mr. Franklin's cells can survive in any biological environment and transform them to make organisms develop mutation, or evolution!"
"However, this is only the research data published internally by Dr. Jane on the Pope's Hall. Our intelligence expert was lucky to intercept a secret conversation between him and Sauron, but learned that adaptive cells were not so simple. In addition to stimulating the evolution and mutation of organisms, it can also allow organisms to survive in any environment! For the evolution of adaptation to the current environment, I am afraid that even outer space has a way to survive, and the evolutionary limit of this cell cannot be calculated as far as the limit of the current intelligent brain array in the Pope's office can be calculated. In other words, as long as there is time, the carrier of cells can evolve infinitely until the end of life. And this is the greatest value of adaptive cells!"
Franklin nodded, but said in his heart that it was also the root of all disasters!
Ulson's expression was a little excited. After taking a long breath, he calmed down and said, "After learning the news, we knew that we must grab Mr. Franklin. Because as long as you are in their hands, the Pope's Hall will always produce a biochemical army that can fight in any environment, and we can't let that day come.
"So are you inviting me to Ista now to treat me as an experimental subject?" Franklin asked that if so, he would have no chance of cooperating with the rebels.
Ulson shook his head and said, "We would like to get Mr. Franklin's blood samples, but we won't send you to the laboratory like the Pope's Hall. Here, as the leader of Ista, I would like to invite Mr. Franklin to join our camp and overthrow Sauron's*!"
Looking at the rebel leader in front of him, Franklin shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not interested in joining any team. However, we can be said to be consistent on some goals. So, maybe you can listen to my terms of cooperation."
Ulson was a little surprised, but he nodded and said, "Please say it."
Just as Franklin and Ulson were talking about the terms of cooperation, near Pier 3, the iron scale was shaking slightly with the ups and downs of the waves. On the deck of the bow, Dipola looked at Ista in the night, and the steel city lit up countless lights. Whether it is the flashing red lights on the building inside the base or the strong light on the construction site like the day, these lights illuminate Ista, as if the night in the city of steel will never come.
"It's so beautiful..." Dipola sighed.
There was a gentle sound of footsteps behind him. DiBora didn't reply, "Baga, are you ready?"
"I'm ready, captain."
"Then, let's start working!"
Behind Dipola stood a hundred pirates, led by Vice Captain Bega, and everyone wore airtight tight protective clothing. The protective clothing is black, with an energy node the size of a light bulb on the back of the hand, shoulder socket, knee and chest. They are connected by dark yellow energy trough pipes, which can provide various basic capacity increases for dressers. Wearing this protective suit, in addition to working in such a strong radiation environment in the sea, it can also allow an ordinary person to experience the taste of a second- to third-order ability.
However, this kind of protective clothing cannot be bought casually by the outside world, even if it is a large pirate group like the Ironscale. At present, they only exist in the laboratory of the Pope's Hall and are a kind of cutting-edge equipment that is not mass-produced. But now, nearly 100 pirates have worn it.
Even the head is wrapped in a liquid plastic helmet. Compared with the bulky shape of the previous protective helmet, this new criminal helmet is as simple as a bubble wrapped around the wearer's head. In addition to providing oxygen, the helmet window also has various visual modes, dynamic capture and other new functions. Now, it is providing night vision for these pirates, so the dark pier is no different from the day in their eyes.
At the order of Dipola, the pirates quietly dived into the sea like ghosts, and then swam in the direction of the dock. When they climbed to the outer wall of the smooth dock, their palms and knees automatically produce strong suction, allowing them to swim up like geckos.
There were Ista's soldiers on duty on the dock, but unfortunately these soldiers cut their throats to death by the pirates who touched behind them without even reacting. Hundreds of pirates of the Iron scales quickly spread out like a black tide and quickly controlled Pier 3. After Dipola saw the signal from Bega from the dock, the captain of the Ironscale went to the steering of the deck. Under the steering wheel, Dipola opened a dark compartment, which exposed a joystick.
"It's time to act, my lord!" Di Bora smiled and pressed his hand down on the joystick. Suddenly, the iron scale was shocked. The sound of hydraulic machines working under the deck, followed by a crack in the middle, separating the deck at the front end of the hull and slowly opening it to the left and right. Under the cabin of the deck, a platform began to rise, and a tall metal body was half squatted on that platform.
So in the dark, the sound of turbine engine working sounded, and a light on the chest of the steel body gradually brightened. The main engine began to work, transporting energy sources to all parts of the body. Some energy devices of the mecha peripherals light up fluorescence, making it fully displayed in the night. It stood up, and King Arthur, the special model of the Round Table Knight, was hidden in the cabin of the Ironscale. If anyone saw this scene now, he would be shocked.
King Arthur, the fourth generation of new mecha in the Pope's Hall. Ten meters tall and weighs 32 tons. Compared with other round table knights, King Arthur's body curve is smooth. The mecha is mainly silver and red, and the humanoid body is equipped with a fin-like air balancer. In addition to making up for the balance caused by King Arthur's light weight, it also has the function of a storage battery and flame thruster. The former can make King Arthur's endurance better, while the latter allows the mecha to move in at the speed of sound when necessary.
As Sauron's car, King Arthur is also unquestionable in terms of firepower. The front chest panel of the mecha is opened to a guided missile strike system called the kaleidoscope. The right arm armor can eject a high-frequency cutting knife, and the left hand is a plasma cannon, which can find charged material particles, causing a huge impact on the target and causing secondary burning effect.
It can be said that King Arthur is a mecha born for war. With the amazing reaction nerves of Sauron, a high-level capable person, it is a life harvester.
In the driving compartment, Sauron gestured to Di Bora, and then looked at Ista in the night and said, "Ulson, as rigorous as you, is still greedy for Franklin's adaptive cells, otherwise how could I have this opportunity to enter your Ista? Today, I will replace the high god and send a pure holy flame for your evil city!"
Sauron suddenly pushed the manipulator, King Arthur stood up and ran on the platform. Two steps have come to the bow, and then jump hard, pressing the Iron scale to keep sinking to the sea level. When the waterline almost passed the bow, the huge ship suddenly rose. And King Arthur has jumped nearly ten meters of the sea and fell heavily on the dock.
Then a row of sprockets rose from the soles of the mecha, and under the rotation of the sprockets, King Arthur skimmed to the road as fast as he were sliding on the ice. The mecha body often leans forward and maintains a balanced posture. Its left and right legs keep alternating, allowing the mecha to fly freely and quickly on the highway. The Arthurian dynasty galloped away from the nuclear power plant at the southern end of the island, when a truck came out of the nuclear power plant on the highway.
The driver in the car suddenly saw a huge darkness on the other side of the road and immediately exclaimed, "What is this?"
He didn't have time to react. King Arthur had lowered his body and a high-frequency knife popped out of his right arm. At the moment of encounter with the truck, the mecha suddenly bounced up and rotated, and the high-circular wave knife crossed the truck like cream. When the mecha landed and continued to move forward, the truck exploded into a fireball and slowly rose on the highway.
The sound of the explosion alarmed the guards of the nuclear power plant, but when they didn't have time to report to the Tower of Harvest, King Arthur had appeared in the spotlight of the sentry station. The cold mecha raised its left hand, its left hand immediately deformed, and the parts reassembed a barrel.
In the driving compartment, Sauron locked the generator set of the nuclear power plant and laughed cruelly, "Bloom, the most gorgeous fireworks!" Then press the launch button, so the plasma cannon of the mecha keeps lighting up, followed by a flash of lightning in the night. A beam of charged particles exploded from the mouth of the gun and instantly fell on the generator set of the nuclear power plant, followed by continuous explosions and flames, which opened the prelude to Iss' bad night!
