Interstellar Mecha Life

Chapter 115

After Xing Tianhe walked into the command room, he saluted Xing Wen and Summer.

"You're here." Xing Wen's voice was low and looked quite tired.He has not closed his eyes for several days, but his eyes are still sharp and focused, only the bloodshot eyes and the thick black on the lower eyelids reveal his fatigue.

"Look at it."

Xing Tianhe took a step forward, at this time Xing Wen had already thrown the information on the screen in his hand into the central projection area.

"When... when did this happen?" Xing Tianhe looked at the materials and pictures flowing on the screen, his voice was a little queasy.But he quickly returned to normal and asked questions calmly and rationally.

"Now."

"Now?" Xing Tianhe was surprised, "Then we...."

"It happened in Area A." Xing Wen knew what Xing Tianhe was thinking, "This is the picture of the military surveillance system. We have completely cut off the connection between this planet and other planets. The local military has fully exchanged fire, but... …”

Xing Wen paused here, and then said: "The nearest large-scale battleship group is also rushing there. If it arrives, it may be able to play a role. But the chances of winning are not great. There are no city-level or higher battleships nearby. Only the Cole small battleship group. And the earliest arrival time is an hour later..."

Xing Tianhe was shocked, and immediately didn't know what to say.

"That's how we look at it?" He finally gritted his teeth.

There were a few other people in the room, but he had the lowest rank.No matter what he thought, there was nothing he could do if these people disagreed.

Xing Tianhe looked around and looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, all of them were indifferent, as if the horrific images on the screen and people's terrified expressions couldn't move them at all.

To them, the screaming beings running away in all directions seemed to be just ants struggling to survive...

He should have known this earlier.However, at this moment, he still felt sick and sad from the bottom of his heart.

Is it because...

Xing Tianhe thought of the scene where Qi Yue confronted him just now, and thought of what she asked him.

Maybe she influenced him.

"Is there anything I can do?" Xing Tian said, "My team is on standby, we can leave at any time."

Sammer sneered and said, "With 20 of you?"

"At least I won't stand on the sidelines here!" Xing Tianhe finally couldn't restrain his anger, "Even if we have to die, we will die on the battlefield!"

"Xing Tianhe!" Xing Wen shouted sharply.

Xing Tianhe took a deep breath and calmed down.

Xing Wen waited for the atmosphere to ease up, and then said: "Xing Tianhe, I understand your feelings, we are all the same. But even if you rush over now, it will not help. Don't wait for you to feel it, I am afraid that the Cole small battleship group is there , can only catch up with the ending..."

The ending... To put it nicely, it is actually cleaning up the corpse.

No, under the attack of the mutant Kui, there might not even be many corpses left.What can they do?On the wreckage and ruins, the rescue procedures deployed by the military are being carried out, searching for survivors that cannot be found?
Just thinking of these, Xing Tianhe couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, clenched his fists so hard that he almost choked himself to bleed.

"So there's really nothing we can do..." he murmured.

"No." Xing Wen denied his statement.

He mobilized the screen of the projection area, "This is the Genesis system closest to the planet being attacked."

"Genesis system?"

"Yes." A general standing aside stood up, "The Genesis system was proposed by Mr. Hong Fei 80 years ago, and it wasn't until the last 30 years that the technology became more mature, and it was gradually deployed as a pilot in the Small Magellanic Cloud system. Its main function is to protect the Alliance humans from star-level attacks from interstellar space, such as the impact of asteroids, attacks from interstellar warships of alien races, etc.”

Xing Tianhe looked at him intently, waiting for him to continue.

Xing Wen took over the words: "We need a weapon that can carry out devastating attacks on objects as large as asteroids in a short period of time."

"So?" Xing Tianhe suddenly realized something, "What do you mean...? No! This is impossible, this is too crazy."

Even people like Xing Tianhe, who are used to seeing life and death, can hardly remain indifferent to what they are about to do.

"You can't do this! You can't give this order!" He stepped forward and said to Xing Wen in a low voice, "You know, this is extinction. There are at least [-] million people on this planet..."

Summer smiled and said: "The order has been issued. As long as all the people with high-level command authority confirm, the Genesis system will automatically calibrate the launch. Now we are only one confirmation signal away. And, you are wrong. Even if Genesis does not Start, there will be no one left on the planet. Xing Tianhe, you are still young."

He actually wanted to say that he was too naive.

"Summer is right." Xing Wen also said, "If Genesis doesn't launch, the mutant Kui will move to the next planet after attacking the planet, and we don't know how they will move or transfer. What is the target... At first, we thought that they would gradually spread out from the Q area according to the space-time area, but now it turns out that they are not the case. We don't know how they choose their targets, and once they attack, the time is short and it is difficult to respond in time. At present So far, our best bet is Genesis."

Xing Tianhe was about to say something, but Xing Wen continued: "And you know, this is correct."

"Maybe." Xing Tianhe was silent for a while.

"The last confirmation!" Summer suddenly said, "It can be launched."

The people in the control room became busy in an instant, and the signal traveled across half the galaxy to reach the vicinity of this planet named Dada.Although Genesis can disintegrate an asteroid in an instant, it cannot destroy a regular planet like Dada in one blow.But at least, it can severely damage the planet and have serious effects on the living things on it.

"According to our calculations, even the mutant Kui that can travel in space will be killed or injured by more than half of them under such an attack." Summer said with confidence, "And, Tianhe, you don't have to worry at all. Start calibrating from now on, There are still 30 minutes until the Genesis launch. By then, there will be no more than 20 humans left on Dada Star."

"Yes, it's 20 people." Xing Tianhe couldn't help but sneer and said, "But from what you said, it seems to be 20 bugs."

"Tianhe!" Xing Wen yelled again, "Do you know what you are talking about? Among the people present and those who confirmed the order, no one wants to issue this order, no one wants to see such a thing happen! But we They are soldiers, to protect the best interests of the Human Alliance, to ensure the survival of the most human beings in the Human Alliance, and to protect our future!"

After Xing Tianhe turned and walked out of the room, he immediately stuck the communicator in his hand to the inner ear, and immediately activated it.

Qi Yue immediately learned of Xing Tianhe's condition through McDull.

"I didn't lie to you." Although she said that, there was no excitement in her words.

Xing Tianhe also said with a straight face: "What can you do?"

"It depends on whether you can provide more information." Qi Yue said, "Your father seems unwilling to tell us everything, even though we are going to participate in the core organization dealing with Kui. However, he The more we hide, the less we can do."

"I can tell you everything I know." Xing Tian said softly.

Qi Yue smiled: "I'm not boasting, I'm afraid you don't know as much as I do. If I were to monitor you for ten years, I'm afraid I would do better than you."

Xing Tianhe pursed his lips and changed the subject: "At least I know the mutation direction of the mutant Kui. When the mutagen is combined with the Kui race, it will greatly increase their intelligence. The Kui race itself is aggressive. The savage race, I am afraid that the current situation is caused by the improvement of intelligence."

"You're wrong." Qi Yue said, "Intelligence enables creatures to have the ability to think and ask questions. Just like humans, the more intelligent an individual is, the less physically aggressive it will be. It will be restricted by intelligence and will question itself. Their own behavior. And what the mutant Kui is doing now... They reproduce in large numbers, devouring life like locusts crossing the border, barbaric, cruel, and irrationally cold-blooded. Even they before the original mutation could not do this a little."

"So you mean their intelligence has decreased?" Xing Tianhe suddenly thought of something.

"I think that of all the directional mutations you developed in the mutagenic source and intermediate experiments, except for the direction of improving intelligence, I am afraid that all of them have been used on the Kui race." Qi Yue looked at the massacre video that was approaching At the end of the battle, try not to tremble in your voice, "Increase your strength, be loyal to the leader, strictly obey orders, become more irritable and aggressive, and reproduce quickly... They have been bred into a race that is completely born for fighting."

"Nurture..."

"Yes! That's why even if Genesis is launched, even if the planet Dada disappears with all the remaining humans and tens of millions of mutants on it, it will not help. As long as the person behind the scenes is willing, he can Cultivate several mutant Kui armies of this size. Moreover, they can be even stronger. Even if there will be Kui as huge as a planet in the future, playing with Sokoses as a ball, and then swallowing it in one gulp, I will not It's weird."

Xing Tianhe said: "Who is the manipulator?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be Locke and Luo from the Nanafei family. Or at least people who are familiar with the military deployment and population distribution of the Human Alliance."

"why?"

"Look at the planet they chose!" Qi Yue said, "The population of Dusk Star is 2.5 million, so the number of Kui that suddenly appeared at that time was about 6000 million, and the distribution of appearances was also based on the population distribution of Dusk Star. The battle happened just before the arrival of the battleship The end...Looking at the current Dada, the resident population is [-] million, so the number of Kui appearing is also less, but it can guarantee that they are enough to deal with the local human armed forces, and complete the task before more combat power arrives. No trace. All of these must have absolute control over the information of human society."

To win this battle, one must find the manipulators behind it, no matter whether they are as Qi Yue thinks or not.

Both of them had this realization at the same time.

When Qi Yue finished the communication and returned to the studio, he happened to see Ke walking away from his workbench.She was holding a part in her hand, and when she saw Qi Yue approaching, she shook her head with a smile: "I checked it for you, you don't need this!"

After she finished speaking with confidence, she threw the parts into the trash can. "Trust me, I'm right."

Qi Yue glanced at her lightly.

In her impression, Ke is always confident, has the posture and posture of aristocrats, and has absolute confidence in her knowledge and ability.However, such somewhat aggressive displays were rare in the past.

At this time, Su Yu, who was inseparable from Ke, also came over, glanced at Qi Yue's workbench and said, "Qi Yue, she is right. Don't worry, this arrangement will increase the energy conversion rate to Highest."

Yes, since the experience of the fortress battleship, Su Yu has also transformed into a mechanical expert.

Qi Yue didn't say anything, just quietly walked to her workbench, set up the project, loaded the previous progress, and started working.

I don't know if her behavior made them feel ignored, but Ke came over again: "Qi Yue, I know you may have a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction in your heart, but what I want to say is that Su Yu and I are on the same page. There is no malice. We just hope to make more contributions to the Human Alliance. I hope that we can be more valuable."

Hearing this, Qi Yue raised her head to look at Ke, and then at Su Yu who was standing in the distance.He still looks like that elegant son of a family, and the indifference and arrogance in his golden pupils are indeed unfamiliar to her.

If it was a year ago, when Ke used such emotional words and looked at her with sincere eyes, she would definitely be moved.At least, she will listen to what she said in her heart.

However, at this moment, Qi Yue felt ridiculous just seeing them.

Qi Yue then went to the trash can, picked up the parts that Ke had thrown away, and reassembled them on the parts that Ke had changed.

"Wait!" Ke's face changed, "If you do this, the energy conversion rate of this tracker will drop by 30.00%."

Qi Yue said, "Unless it uses unconventional energy."

"Unconventional energy?"

Qi Yue looked up and calibrated the various indicators, and then began to test: "This is used to track space-time intermediates, because special sensitive materials are used, so I was lazy and hoped to use the same type of energy... Facts It's also more convenient."

"Specially sensitive materials?"

"This." Qi Yue didn't hide anything, and handed her the previously discovered materials that can interact with dark energy and dark matter: "You can refer to it."

Ke and Su Yu looked at each other.They had never seen such a substance.

"You can use intermediates, or any way to improve your intelligence to make yourself smarter, you can remember more information in a short time, and make your brain activity more active. But if you don't do it yourself, see it with your own eyes, It will never be possible to understand." Qi Yue said, "I have all the achievements I have today, not because of my intelligence level, but because I spend almost all my time facing machines and theories."

As she spoke, she pulled out part of the draft and displayed it on another slightly larger glass display: "I'm not really keen on comparing things like this, but..."

The screen displayed two design drawings before and after. The difference in the details is that one has the parts that Ke removed, and the other does not.

"The step of simplification you proposed before is probably based on the X-node theory, but in fact adding parts can create another inner path in this environment, thereby doubling the conversion rate. This is why, I later denied the theory of simplification. "

Ke's expression was quite ugly: "You thought of it before?"

Qi Yue nodded, turned off the screen, and turned to face her workbench: "I think we have more important things to do besides discussing this issue now."

Just as Ke was about to say something, the door of the room was opened from the outside.
