Interstellar Mecha Life

Chapter 114

As soon as Xing Wen finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.

Qi Yue squinted his eyes, watching the pictures of desolate and broken planets appearing in the huge holographic projection behind him.In all the images, those towering buildings, colorful and colorful decorations and lights, and empty streets...

All of these are indistinguishable from cities on mainstream planets, and look very ordinary.The only thing that is abnormal is that there is no trace of human activities in each picture or group of images.

As the picture progresses, the details of the buildings and streets are revealed.Everyone finally knew what was the previously invisible gray thing covering the image.

It's smoke.

Billowing thick smoke and some open flames came from the tall buildings, and the damaged flying rails and light vehicles that fell to the ground made the city look like a mess.

This is definitely not a normal city, but an abandoned empty city after a catastrophe.

Qi Yue couldn't help thinking of the pictures in the promotional posters and videos of disaster movies that are ubiquitous.

How similar.

How chilling.

Qi Yue is also a person who has experienced disasters. Seeing such a picture, it is inevitable that he will feel wary when he thinks about it, let alone those who have always grown up in a happy and peaceful environment.

As the picture progressed, and thinking of Xing Wen's words, the faces of most people sitting here became more and more ugly.

"This is not a simulation, but a real occurrence. The time was ten days ago. This planet is located on the edge of the Q zone, called Evening Star. Its permanent population is about 2.5 million. But now, there is no one there."

"All this happened too fast and too suddenly. It took only three hours from the time we received the alarm to the arrival of the army, but the entire planet disappeared in the process. There were no traces of the enemy, no survivors, There are only images and sounds left in this wrecked city, which record everything that happened during this period."

"It is also these images that let us know who our enemies are and what they can do. This is definitely a disaster that mankind has never encountered before. It is the most terrible and cruel enemy. They make us fear, make us tremble, Let us know that with the current strength of the alliance, we may not be able to resist... But, they cannot make us retreat! We are afraid but we will not be afraid! I don't know if you have seen such a picture and what happened to our compatriots, I In the end, all that was left in my mind was anger."

Xing Wen did not play the picture and sound, nor did he describe it in detail.But he used words and sounds just right to calm the fear in everyone's heart and arouse their eagerness to do everything they can for the alliance of mankind and for our fellow man.

Qi Yue couldn't help clenching her fists after hearing this, her blood seemed to have the urge to boil.

"But we know that we need help, and we need help from you!" Xing Wen waved his arms, "We are not strong enough to deal with those scumbags who have no moral restraint, those brutal and uncivilized alien races! Our army , our fighters need more powerful weapons, more flexible and fast mechs! We..."

The mobilization will end soon, and all the invited scientific researchers and technical workers will be classified according to their abilities and specialties, and will be taken to different work areas, where they will have the most advanced equipment and materials provided by the military. They each show their strengths.

At the same time, they will have a better understanding of the enemies they face.

Qi Yue followed behind her guide, but found that she was not taken to any work area.

"Here?" She frowned and walked into a small meeting room, surrounded by one-way transparent glass walls, with a long oval table in the middle, surrounded by a few dull-looking chairs.

There was no one inside.

"Yes, please wait here for a while." The guide bowed respectfully after speaking, then turned and left.

Then people came in one after another, some were soldiers in military uniforms, some were old men with gray beards, and some looked like scholars.

And the last two people who came in were Su Yu and Ke.

Before Qi Yue could be surprised, Xing Wen and Xing Tianhe followed them into the room and walked straight to the chairman's seat.

"Everyone, please sit down." At this time, Xing Wen no longer had the boldness and enthusiasm he had just shown in the big scene, and he no longer waved his arms to call for momentum.

At this time, he seemed to be more like a gloomy and calm observer, his gaze was like an eagle, and when he glanced at anyone, he would make the other party's heart tremble and fear.

Qi Yue looked at him, and then at Xing Tianhe sitting next to him.

Even without relying on information and McDull, she could tell that the two were father and son.

According to the information collected before, the surveillance and observation orders for her were issued by Xing Wen.Because of this, she had resisted him from the moment they met.

"To make a long story short, everyone is called here because all of you here have had or will come into contact with mutagenic sources or intermediates." Xing Wen tapped the table a few times while speaking.A holographic image area immediately appeared in the middle of the long table. Following his voice, the image changed, showing the information of the mutagenic source and intermediate.

"For convenience, I will introduce them systematically."

Qi Yue is now very familiar with these two words.She is even sure that the research on intermediates present here, including Xing Wen, may not be as deep as hers.

In fact, after learning the theoretical basis of the intermediate, she once tried to make mechanical creatures by herself based on the report materials provided by Xing Tianhe and the large amount of experimental data she obtained from the fortress battleship.

She even managed to achieve some of the internal structural functions of cells.

But on the whole, she still failed.

She was amazed by the patience and enormous human and financial support required for this research.And the zero zone, which initially thought of this method and finally made it a reality, has become synonymous with strength and advanced in Qi Yue's mind.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance over Xing Wen and Xing Tianhe's arms.

"The mutagenic source is a special life form stored in the universe." Xing Wen did not involve history, but directly introduced its essence and ability. "After observation and research, the mutagenic source does not have the concept of being alive. It is called Life forms are not suitable either, but it can combine with any form of life form and induce them to change."

"Intermediates are directional changes produced by the combination of mutagenic sources and some special life forms..."

When Xing Wen spoke, some people present listened attentively, but their brows were tightly frowned, obviously they didn't understand. Most of these people had never been in contact with the mutagenic source before.

Some people seem to be suddenly enlightened when they hear half of it, which can show that they may have heard of or been in contact with the mutagenic source, but they are not very clear about its essence.

And people like Su Yu, Ke, and Qi Yue who looked normal from the beginning to the end, probably know the source of the mutagenesis very well.

Just don't know how much they know.Thinking of Su Yu's previous performance, Qi Yue felt a little hesitant.

"Because of the existence of intermediates, the effect of the mutagenic source can be amplified and strengthened." Xing Wen stopped here, "and we have to deal with them this time."

"Intermediate?" Someone asked.

Xing Wendao: "No, it's the combination of an intermediate and a different race."

"What race?"

"It's Kui."

Cruel, ferocious, immortal, low-intelligence, ugly, ethnic group creature...

All these labels for Kui no longer apply today.

"They are responsible for the destruction of Dusk Star." Xing Wen's voice seemed to sink to the bottom, almost making it unclear.

Everyone present, including Qi Yue, did not expect such a thing, and they all looked surprised.However, some people think of Xing Wen's introduction to the source of mutagenesis before, and have already thought of the possible reasons for this situation.

"Three hours, 2.5 million people." McDull was analyzing quickly, "According to the data, the Kui race will have the effect of improving IQ under the action of the mutagen. But to do such a thing in such a short period of time, Wisdom alone may not be enough."

Although McDull has the emotional part of the code, it is still an artificial intelligence after all. When faced with such a thing, it will never be as sensitive, fearful or sad as a human being.

Qi Yue said: "Can you find more information within three hours?"

"No, if it's not there, it's completely isolated from the system." McDull said, "I'm conducting a larger-scale search through my network."

Xing Wen said at the end that all the people in the room will be members of a core group whose main task is to find the mutant Kui's weakness in a short time.

"If we don't stop them, the second Evening Star will appear soon." Xing Wendao, "We are already working on evacuating all the planets near the Q area. It has appeared on the Internet. According to the report, not only their speed is very alarming, but the number is also rising."

"Only by finding their weaknesses fundamentally can we completely eradicate their harm to human beings."

Leaving from the conference room, Qi Yue and the others were collectively taken to the working area of ​​the core group.Among them, several soldiers dressed up and walked in the front, while Qi Yue was at the end.

"Qi Yue." Xing Tianhe caught up from behind, "Come here."

He took Qi Yue to another room, closed the door, and cut off the world full of busy and hurried figures.

"How did you come here?" Xing Tianhe asked with a frown.

Qi Yue said: "The military directly sent a helicopter to find me, and I didn't even have a chance to refuse."

"They're looking for you?"

"Isn't it?" Qi Yue said, "Isn't that how everyone came here?"

"Of course not. Most of the people summoned are long-term consultants and scholars of the military. When special events occur, the military will notify them. And it is their voluntary choice whether to come or not."

After hearing this, Qi Yue let out an 'oh', but didn't feel anything special.

It has been more than half a year since the last time.During this period of time, Xing Tianhe's exhaustion and running around made him look even more haggard, and even showed some signs of aging.

As for Qi Yue, with the passage of time, she entered the best years of her life.

Her whole body looks like a flower that has been budding for a long time and finally bloomed, showing the most beautiful moment of a girl.

Although the irregular schedule and long-term indoor work made her complexion surprisingly fair, and also added some marks to her face.But after all, it can't hide the youth that bursts out like a ray of light.

When he was far away before, Xing Tianhe could still restrain his emotions, but now when she is standing in front of him, within arm's reach, he can steadily operate the mech and hold the gun steadily His hands trembled.

"Qi Yue..."

He reached out, wanting to touch her cheek.

But Qi Yue took a step back subconsciously.

Both of them seemed to be confused by the scene and didn't know what to say.Finally Qi Yue took a deep breath, looked up at Xing Tianhe: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Xing Tianhe was taken aback, but shook his head: "No more."

"Well."

After Qi Yue finished speaking, she took two steps to the side, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Now let me ask, and you answer."
