Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Chad and Barty didn't go back with the transport plane." Koloff looked at the two people who were coordinating the handover with the local Rhode Island office staff and felt a little surprised.

"The safe load of the plane is limited. They will probably have to ride our car back to Rhode Island." Alpha was not surprised at all.The Bad Guy was fully loaded when it arrived, so long-distance flights must not carry more people than the limit, otherwise the safety factor of the flight would indeed be greatly reduced.

That night, the Life Star exited the streets of the town module, briefly docked at the dock, replenished consumables, and began preparations before departure.The local lords and residents sent many gifts. Many of the villagers affected by the disaster had relatives in the town. Most of the injured were rescued this time. Everyone was grateful to Alpha and his party.

"Praise for your mercy, you are always welcome here."

……

Base Walker returned to the road again. After getting in touch with Rhode Island and reaching some preliminary cooperation intentions, Alpha obtained the navigation map provided by Rhode Island. Alpha decided to go all the way east, directly to the ship that is still parked near the gantry. Rhode Island.

"Ms. Alpha, the two of us have to continue to bother you for a while." Chad said to Alpha before setting off.

"It's okay. If there are more people, my car will be more lively." Of course, Alpha will not kick his partners out of the car for nothing, but there are still some things that need to be confirmed before setting off.

It was a question of whether Xu Yu should stay or go. After a day and night of high-intensity rescue operations, she was very tired and returned to her temporary cabin to rest. She didn't show up until dinner the next day. If it hadn't been for Diser Er had been checking through the personnel life safety monitoring system to confirm that she was just sleeping, and Alpha almost rushed in carrying first aid equipment to save people.

Xu Yu woke up in the middle of the night. She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of her. She said that the ceiling might be a little inappropriate. After all, the land cruiser cabin where she temporarily lived was a bunk bed. Although there was no one on it, But when she opened her eyes, what she saw should be the bed board of the upper bunk.

She felt that she was a little thirsty and a little hungry. She glanced at the time displayed on the screen on the desk. She had not eaten or drank for at least ten hours. This was a normal physiological reaction.After receiving a cup of warm drinking purified water from the water dispenser in the room, Xu Yu suddenly felt a little lucky. Before she fell asleep, she was so tired that she thought she was going to die in bed.

When she woke up, she found that only ten hours had passed. Her body had already rested and she had not forgotten the previous experience. This was indeed worthy of her own small joy.

At this time, the corner of the screen on the desk flickered. There should be a message sent to the mailbox here.So she pulled out the seat fixed on the slide, sat at the table, and opened the computer terminal.

"The ship's life status detection system shows that you are awake. How do you feel?" A message from a person with the ID "Alpha" appeared in the communication software.

"It's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern." Xu Yu politely answered "Alpha's" concern.

"Do you have any arrangements now? If you have time, can you come to the tarmac?"

"Okay..." It didn't take much effort to take the personnel lift to the apron on the roof of the car. Xu Yu quickly reached the roof of the car. She suddenly discovered that Alpha had two benches and a beach folding table. On the tarmac, an insulated box sat on a folding table.

"Come and sit for a while. I've prepared a supper and everyone else has rested."

"Yeah." Xu Yu replied in a very soft voice, as if she subconsciously didn't want to disturb others.

Seeing her sit down, Alpha opened the incubator and took out several lunch boxes. She placed the still-steaming fish fillets, vegetable soup, and freshly baked bread slices one by one. On the table. "Eat whatever you want when you're hungry. If it doesn't suit your taste, I can make you another one."

"Thank you, no need." For a moment, Xu Yu felt a little embarrassed. She was a little flattered that a captain with multiple responsibilities, excellent medical skills, and a mysterious background personally prepared a midnight snack for her.She looked over at Alpha, who was munching on chips and had a few cans of drinks lying around.

Opening the lunch box, Xu Yu tasted the fried fish steak prepared by Alpha. The fish meat was very fresh and there were no fish bones. The processing method was commendable. "It's delicious. I like it very much. Thank you."

"Eat it if you like. You must be hungry after sleeping for more than ten hours." Alpha said and sighed, "I hope you don't mind one thing. Due to various factors such as schedule, I did not continue to sit there. We stopped in a small town and took you on our way without asking for your permission.”

Xu Yu did not answer directly, but smiled, shook her head and nodded, "I know, I won't mind." Her smile was very soft, "I wander around practicing medicine, and I don't bring it to the owner of the resting place. It’s my pleasure to bother you.”

"Hey, girl, aren't you afraid that I'm a big bad guy and I'll drag you to where I'll sell you?"

"You don't look like a bad guy, either in red-haired form or black-haired form. In my limited memory, I have never seen a so-called bad guy who would devote himself to saving so many people like you."

"Really?" Alpha felt that he had shown his true character when using the Fei Yao body. The woman Vera was so embarrassed that she told her that she was definitely not a bad person. Alpha felt that she had made some mistake.

"Really." Xu Yu put the uneaten fish fillet back into the insulated box, then held the insulated bucket and drank a few mouthfuls of vegetable soup. There was a lot of wind on the flight deck of the traveling Base Walker, and she didn't like to bear it. The wind eats.However, looking at Alpha's state of drinking beer and chewing French fries against the wind, she felt that this was because Alpha's physique was too strong and he ignored the fact that this way of eating could easily make him sick. "Alfa, eating against the wind is not good for him. Bad health..."

"Ah, sorry, let's go down."

29.Journey episode part.2

Xu Yu was originally going to help Alpha close the stall, but with a wave of Alpha's hand, the bench and beach folding table disappeared into the air with a snap, and the incubator fell firmly back into her hand.

"It's really windy up here. Let's go down and go to the restaurant."

There must be no one in the restaurant at this time. Now Xiaolu is the only one in charge of the kitchen on the ship. It is naturally impossible for Alpha to ask her to do even the midnight snacks.It was already late at night, and only Alpha, who had almost endless energy, could still be so active after a busy day and night.

Alpha cooked a bowl of shredded ginger and brown sugar water for Xu Yu, and then reheated the cold night snack. Lucia series of machines will really affect the feel of cooking, but Vera's machine will not. As a matter of fact, As a "single mother" with two big children, No. 21 and Nokti, Vera's cooking skills are actually quite good.

"My next plan is to head east directly to the Dragon Gate of the Yan Kingdom and connect with Rhode Island there. Miss Xu Yu, do you want to go to the Dragon Gate with me?"

"Longmen... is a place I have never been to before..." She murmured, a trace of curiosity and yearning flashed in her eyes, but then she shook her head, "Well, forget it, no need..."

"Miss Xu Yu seems to want to go, why don't you forget it?"

"It's nothing..." When Xu Yu answered, his expression was a little downcast, "You don't have to worry about me, just find a nearby town to drop me off."

"Why?" Alpha is very familiar with her poster girl, and she can guess the reason why she made such a choice, but she wants to hear her own explanation, "You are not in good health, so don't stay with me for a while. Do you want to cultivate yourself?"

"I..." Xu Yu looked at Alpha in front of her and hesitated for a moment.When participating in the rescue, she unreservedly showed herself her skills that transcended this land, and showed great trust in her abilities.After the rescue, she still cared about herself, maybe she was indeed worthy of his trust...

"Actually, this is the normal state of my body..." After a moment of silence, Xu Yu organized his words and introduced his situation to Alpha.

Xu Yu is a member of a certain branch of the Agor ethnic group. The Agor people in her branch have a very special system. Their bodies are very fragile. When they suffer from trauma or disease, or the environment is harsh, When the endurance limit is exceeded, it will return to its larval state and lose its previous memories and grow again.

"I will die easily and be reborn at the expense of forgetting the past... So please forget about me. I don't want you to feel sad for me because of the arrival of that day..."

"You've already said it..." Alpha shook his head, "How could I bear to leave you alone..."

Alpha walked up to Xu Yu and gave her a big hug without asking for permission. "Not just me, no one wants you to leave for this reason. How many hardships and experiences have you endured during the cruise?" You have died so many times that you can’t even remember it. Who would have the heart to let you go..."

"I have seen several movie tickets in your folder. You must like movies very much. If you continue to wander the earth alone, who should you talk to about your favorite movies? The memorable moments today will be the same tomorrow. How regrettable it would be to be forced to forget because of an accident!"

"Come with me to Rhode Island, where people from all over the world gather. There, or elsewhere, you will meet like-minded people and make friends. Don't be afraid, I can remember anything. I It can help you remember anything you want to remember!”

Xu Yu didn't move, she leaned quietly in Alpha's arms, listening to her overly eager concern that even had a hint of command, feeling the temperature of her chest, she rummaged through the memories she still had, This feeling seems to have never appeared before, and it seems to have existed for a moment in the extremely distant past.

In her ethereal memory, the feeling brought about by the hug was blurry, strange and distant. Just like her memory of her relatives, it was only a concept, like a piece of Yoshimitsu that should not exist.She has forgotten too many things, but a long, long time ago, she must have been a child who longed for and had care and protection, just like what was described in movies and books.

Alpha was a little too enthusiastic and concerned, but this kind of concern was both unfamiliar and strangely exciting to her. She felt that her heart had indeed been touched by Alpha.Everyone cares about themselves... Is it really like this... Maybe it is really like this... It seems pretty good...

"Thank you for your concern, Alpha. Whether hugging something like this is too luxurious for me is something to be considered..." Xu Yu murmured softly, but finally responded to Alpha's hug and crossed her arms. , caught up with Alpha's back, and patted her gently like an elder comforting a child, "It will take some time to think about it. Since you invited me, I have some curiosity to go with you. But after all, I One day I will leave, but when that time comes, don’t be sad.”

"Okay, I promise."

Xu Yu chose to stay for the time being, not only because Alpha's straight shot hit what she longed for in her heart - care and understanding.She probably also had a vague expectation of what Alpha said, "helping you remember anything you want to remember."At first, Xu Yu felt that this was just the rhetoric used by Alpha to persuade him. After all, in this land, the legendary transformation technique and the legendary ancient witchcraft of controlling memory have never been heard of being controlled by anyone at the same time.

For Alpha to have this kind of heart, as a drifter who has forgotten too much, is sad and numb, it is already a very rare thing.

Until a few nights later, Alpha called her to the bridge of the Life Star, and then took out a necklace from his pocket.This necklace looks very simple in appearance, with a metal chain connected to a square prism body.But an orange light group was lying quietly in the center of the square prism.

"Exaggerated version," Alpha said to her with a mysterious smile, "This is the first star I created. I use it as a carrier to store information, and can easily record everything that all individuals of a group have experienced. As long as you carry it with you, it's like I'm by your side."

"The normal version, this is a memory device. It can record things that you think are valuable to record from your first perspective. The whole process requires manual operation. Hold its core in the palm of your hand, and you will naturally know how to do it. Operate it, and you can use it to relive the memories stored in it directly in your mind, no matter where you are."

30.Journey episode part.3-Stem cells

In the office of the head of the medical department in Rhode Island, Kelsey, who had been busy all day, finally sat down to take a rest, when a message on PRTS caught her eye. "The Bad Guy transport plane returned safely, the technical department reports..."

The notes below are all related to the normal report content after the dispatch operation. Kelsey plans to wait for a while before looking at the details. She plans to make herself a cup of coffee first to support the operation of the entire Rhode Island. This work rests on her shoulders. Only when you get there will you realize how heavy a burden it is.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was Susuluo who was on a mission this time.In one hand she held a large bag containing a folder and a large-looking can, and in the other hand she held a small box.

"Kelsey, this is the souvenir I brought back from Letania for you." Susuluo handed the small gift box to Kelsey, "Then these are the ones Alpha asked me to bring to you. , and inside are about three hundred pages of papers, and a can of delicious juice powder."

"Oh, thank you." Kelsey took these things. Susuluo always likes to bring back some local souvenirs when he goes out in the field. Every colleague in the medical department has a share, and Kelsey is no exception. , this habit has also infected many other medical department operators, causing Kelsey to have to carve out a special place in the office to display these souvenirs.After all, it is something that is conducive to department work and internal unity, and Kelsi has no reason to refuse.

Kelsey didn't pay much attention and returned to the desk with her things. She took out the folder and juice powder from the bag. After reading the two papers transmitted through the radio, Kelsey kept thinking about The academic study of that mysterious Alpha is full of expectations.In the words of Dr. Kan Warfarin, "If any academic journal is lucky enough to publish her article, it will be the greatest affirmation of the journal's quality."

But before she opened the folder, the can of juice powder caught her attention. It didn't look like a product produced by any food company and then sold on the market. There was no advertising coating on the stainless steel tube, only simple fonts.

"It looks like a product supplied within the army?" This made her a little confused.There is some strange Victorian writing on the jar, as well as equally strange Yanguo writing.

"What is this Northern Alliance? Why have I never heard of it? What does this special supply for the expedition fleet mean? What does this Paktukis mean? Why have I never heard of this munitions food factory? Ah ? What is going on?" Kelsey fell into huge doubts and self-doubt.who I am?where am I?Why can’t I even recognize a juice powder jar?

In a daze, Kelsey almost regarded the can of juice powder as Alpha's sarcasm and demonstration against herself. I don't know if it was because of the can of juice powder, but Kelsey had never used "I have nothing" in front of Alpha. "I don't know", which reportedly surprised Alpha.

……

On the other side, Alpha is not clairvoyant. She naturally doesn’t know how much mental trauma Kelsey suffered from the juice powder jar. She was a little panicked today because something went wrong.

One day ago, after obtaining Xu Yu's consent, she collected her somatic cell samples in preparation for genetic sequencing and experiments on individual cell culture.Observe the Agor people, a unique group, and see if the biochemical reactions inside their cells are any different from those of people on land.

After learning about her intention, Xu Yu expressed her support. She even said that when the normal menstrual cycle comes, Alpha can collect normally discharged egg cells.This startled Alpha. She didn't need to study human cloning. She had not yet reached the point of using egg cells for experimental research, and the rapid organ cloning device she had on hand did not use germ cells. A group of A sufficiently pure epithelial cell sample is sufficient.

Then a problem arose. In the laboratory, Alpha added a small amount of induction agent to the collected cell samples to prepare to induce the somatic cell samples into stem cells. This was just an ordinary research, and it was about building rapid cloning data. One part of the data that needs to be collected by the information database.

After completing the operation, she transferred the petri dish to the constant-temperature incubator and waited for the system to automatically feedback the results.After all, whether it is the technology of Karak or the Hanging Garden, it is beyond the cell biology technology that was developed in the early 21st century on earth. There should be no accidents in this experiment, right...

Then things happened as expected. Alpha found that because of his inertial thinking, he had ignored a very important issue, that is, the Agor tribe to which Xu Yu belonged, after death, returned to a juvenile state and redeveloped, which meant that What are you wearing?

This basically means that the cells throughout their body can demonstrate extremely high versatility under specific conditions.

Looking at the countless cells floating in the culture suspension, the lucky one who suddenly completed the transformation, Alpha and Xu Yu, who came after hearing the news, looked at each other. The cell biology analysis results given by Diesel were obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. It can be seen that that cell is no longer an ordinary stem cell. It has restored all totipotency. It should now have a new name - embryo.

"Somatic cell-induced self-cloning, Xu Yu, are your ancestors...so...creative?"

"This..." This was beyond the scope of Xu Yu's knowledge, and she didn't know how to evaluate her ancestors, or what the things done by the ancestors of the Agor people counted.If you see the beings in the depths of the sea, you will probably give a thumbs up and say, "You're so cruel."

Alpha looked at Xu Yu who understood everything but seemed to have a lot of things that he didn't understand. After some ideological struggle, he finally made a decision, "I will use this embryo for embryonic stem cell sampling research and will not put it in It was fully developed in the culture device. I am very sorry that I ignored important parameter triggers during the experiment, which led to such a result. I will definitely be more meticulous in future research. Also, please keep this matter confidential... …”

Xu Yu's face was a little shy. I don't know what she was thinking at this time, but after a while she regained her composure. She probably figured out the stakes... probably...

31.Good morning Rhode Island part.1

When the episode in the journey happened, the base walker was not too far away from Longmen.For this experiment, Alpha did not retain relevant data in any place that might be leaked, which reminds me of what happened to Charmander Ifrit, Rosemary Cat, and other Rhode Island operators.Alpha knows very well that today, when technology and theoretical knowledge are still imperfect, a group of researchers who trample scientific ethics under their feet at all costs for their own interests can conduct such inhumane experiments. If his experimental technology What kind of disaster will it cause if theories and theories spread.

This is a Pandora's box, which may even make the entire continent irreversible. But now, they can at least be in their hands.

Alpha was glad that she had realized this very early. The papers she passed on to Kelsey were basically all purely theoretical research, and the research process and techniques used were deliberately omitted. After all, she was not here to compete for the cover of the journal. With impact factors, those papers are just stepping stones. As long as Kelsey is Kelsey, these things should be things she already knows and can be used to attract her focus, which is enough.

The research paper sent to Kelsey cannot be regarded as a big gamble. Terra's modern people can already see signs of their own cell biology. Her theory does not fit with the mainstream theories that can be collected. In the eyes of those who have the power to speak academically, , her paper is nothing more than lies without research support.Only those who truly know the truth will understand what she is going to say.

As for the outcome of this game, we will probably see it soon.

……

After traveling for a week, the Life Star entered the territory of Longmen. After contacting the local management department of Longmen and Rhode Island, Alpha and his team obtained a pass. The liaison department of Rhode Island helped get it. Yes, it saves a lot of things.

Alpha came to Longmen to do two things. One was to meet with Rhodes Island, and the other was to officially register his "company" in this world free trade center. After all, it was used to fool Casimir and Ursa before. The border prosecutor's identity was a fabricated one, but he had to have a formal identity, even if it was a handbag company. It would be much easier to handle many things if he had a background.

First, go to Rhode Island to find out whether this legendary institution is what you remember.

The base traveler did not sail directly to Longmen city and dock at the berth, because during this period, Rhode Island did not dock at Longmen, but stayed in the wilderness northwest of Longmen. Perhaps the large berths in Longmen were too expensive. Bar……

The drone quickly detected the shadow of a huge land cruiser in the wilderness. This was the first time that Beilian's friend-or-foe identification and target control system automatically gave feedback. According to the size of the target and the external Comprehensive characteristics such as structure and heat signature, Beilian's automatic fire control system marks Rhode Island as a very large carrier.Since the IFF database has not yet been updated, the system automatically identifies it as a neutral target with significant potential threats.

Alpha looked at the pictures and data on the screen and couldn't help but sigh, you are right about the fire control system.A land cruiser with a long axis of 600 meters, a width of nearly 300 meters, and a height of more than 180 meters. This tonnage is larger than that of Beilian's Sakala-class nuclear-powered expeditionary carrier, which is a behemoth with a 580-meter long axis. The Sakala-class is Beilian is a genuine super aircraft carrier and a walking war factory.

With Rhode Island's larger tonnage and standard appearance of a land cruiser, it's no wonder that the fire control system recognized her as a very large carrier.However, the fire control system does not seem to recognize the mobile city module very much. After all, the desert people will not be idle and move the city to wheels.

At this time, Koloff was on the bridge learning the relevant technical knowledge of land craft navigation and driving. Alpha adjusted a console to a simulation training mode so that he could practice on the aircraft.

The former Ursus veteran also sighed when he saw the Rhode Island on the screen.
