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

"Let's go back early so that you can spend more time with Ifrit this weekend." When the base walker started the powertrain, Alpha said to Ceria and Hemo with a smile.

……

This time Alpha also brought small gifts, not only for Alina and the others, but also for the knowledgeable and beloved Ms. White-faced Owl, and for the Charmander Ifrit whom he had not yet met.

The road back was more stable than when we came here. The base walker loaded with a large amount of cargo put more pressure on the ground, and some small terrain undulations were simply rolled over. Returning to Rhode Island, we moved into the stern docking bay and unloaded the cargo. The engineers in the engineering department will take care of the matter themselves. Diesel just needs to keep an eye on it, and she goes to the medical department with Helmer.

When he arrived at the medical department, Alpha found Charmander lying on the white-faced owl's office, holding a pen and staring at the notebook in front of him, while scratching his head irritably. "Ah, why is this question so difficult!"

"Here, let me help you take a look."

"Oh, are you the Alpha doctor that Hemo was talking about?"

"It's me, just call me Alpha." Alpha smiled. As long as the Fei Yao body didn't wear the ferocious smile that Vera would wear when facing criticism from outsiders or fighting, it was actually still very gentle. And have affinity.Vera, who looks disdainful on the surface, is actually a gentle, kind and extremely strong woman on the inside.Even though he has been in this world for so long, when he incarnates into this machine, Alpha will always think of what he has experienced with Vera before.

"Alpha, Hermer always requires me to complete my homework independently and not let others help... Are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course!" Alpha saw Ifrit's homework book. The homework book contained very basic elementary school arithmetic problems, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within two digits.The Alpha layer had heard Helmer talk about Ifrit before. Ifrit's biological age was not very young, but she had been subjected to long-term inhuman abuse as an experimental subject, as well as the constant hallucinations that appeared in her consciousness. Her mental capacity is actually equivalent to that of a six- or seven-year-old child. After settling down in Rhode Island, some very basic courses were arranged considering her current ability to accept.

Ifrit was struggling to overcome several two-digit multiplications in front of her. There were several pieces of draft paper next to her, which were filled with intersecting lines.Alpha looked at it for a moment and thought to himself, isn't your Colombian model based on the United States? How can you inherit the fine tradition of the United States and calculate the multiplication grid? The mathematics of the United States is not that bad?I was complaining in my heart, but at least I had a simple way to solve the major mathematical problem that Ifrit was facing now.

"Ifrit, I can teach you a secret. As long as you learn it, I guarantee that you can easily handle this simple calculation of multiplication and division."

"Really?" Ifrit looked at Alpha with expectation in her eyes, "Sir, you can't lie to others."

"Of course!" Taking the pen and paper, Alpha quickly wrote down Xiao Jiujiu's multiplication table, "I will secretly teach you the multiplication formula in Yanguo dialect. As long as you memorize this formula while Hemo is not paying attention, in the future, No matter what arithmetic problem you encounter, it won’t stump you anymore!”

"Really?!"

"I promise!" Alpha nodded.

……

Even now, Hemo is still not very willing to let Seria contact Ifrit. Although the relationship between the two is not that tense, every time on this issue, the two will first argue and then develop into a quarrel.

Alpha is not worried at all. She is knowledgeable and has extraordinary skills. The most important thing is her attitude towards patients with ore disease and her kindness that is even beyond the times.Homer believed that bringing Ifrit into contact with Alpha would be a good thing for her.But how could a simple Hemo know that Alpha was teaching Ifrit how to finish her homework quickly and then go play?

……

"Eifufu," it didn't take long for Alpha to become very familiar with Ifrit. Ifrit, who felt that he had obtained the magic secret book, specifically allowed Alpha to call him by his nickname, "Why don't you see Bai Mian today?" Owl, and others, Evefu, do you know?”

"Alfa, let me tell you quietly. When I went to the kitchen to steal snacks last night, I happened to pass by the office of my uncles and aunts. I heard a lot of people discussing inside, as if they were saying that a very special person came from the north. Patient, I heard Dr. Kelsey’s voice, and she mentioned that it’s best not to let you know.” Ifrit quietly leaned into Alpha’s ear and told her a very strange news.

"What else did you hear?" Alpha felt a little strange. What kind of patient should try not to let himself know?

But Ifrit shook her head, "The adults said a lot of nouns about me, but I couldn't understand them, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I ran away quickly. I'm sorry, Alpha, I couldn't help you."

"It's okay, Eve has already helped me a lot." Alpha took out the gift brought to her today from his pocket, a box of nut chocolates, "This is a gift for Eve, Alpha has already told Hemo After that, as long as you brush your teeth on time after eating, Hemo allows you to eat three pills a day!"

"Great!"

Today I have given Ifrit the pronunciation of numbers one to nine in Chinese (Dayan language). Surprisingly, she remembered it quickly. This is probably because the Chinese number syllables are very concise and easy to remember, plus the combination After taking her to consolidate the pinyin used in Victoria for two days, she can formally teach her the multiplication table.

When leaving, Ifrit said goodbye to Alpha with some reluctance, but she didn't notice that when she turned around, Alpha's expression suddenly darkened.

Ifrit's words reminded her that she had checked the marking signals of dozens of infected people who had received their own implant surgeries on the snowy field. Three of them were marked for death. During the long march and battle, casualties were inevitable. This A little alpha can be understood.But there is another girl whose implant signal shows ectopy and abnormal working status, and that signal is currently in Rhode Island...

When she walked out of the office, the halo dissipated, her long white hair with reddish tips replaced her crimson high ponytail, and the Sealed Blade with silent and violent power appeared behind her.

"Go directly to Kelsi and ask for an explanation. Say yes, Ye Huang."

Of course, Feng Ren Tai Dao would not answer Alpha's inquiry, but Alpha did not need to answer. She had already guessed the general appearance of the matter.

46.The banks of Devon are quiet part.2

"I'm very sorry, Alpha. Dr. Kelsi is on the operating table. There are critically ill patients who need to be rescued." This was the first time Yaye saw Alpha looking like this, and it was also the first time he saw her wearing a weapon in Luo. Walking on Tokushima, the teacher had already given relevant instructions. She knew that when Alpha learned that the medical department was hiding something from her, he would definitely use his own strength to investigate, and he would definitely learn some information, and she would definitely come to find him. Kelsey, this is the teacher’s own inference.

Yaye found that Alpha responded to him with a very peaceful smile and nod, "It doesn't matter, I can wait. I believe she has reasons for doing this, and I also believe that there is no need to hide most things from me."

Alpha pulled up a chair and sat down. He put the long knife to his hand and picked up a newspaper from the table in Kelsey's office. "Don't be nervous, Miss Yaye, I'm not here." The one who raised an army to investigate the crime, judging from the information I know, if I were Kelsey, I would make such a choice."

"Hey, she actually drank the can of juice I gave her. I thought she would find it too sweet."

"The teacher said that the sugar content of this can of juice powder is indeed very high, but she will not refuse to taste it."

"Haha, she really has a sense of humor unique to her."

Alpha just sat in Kelsey's office, flipping through today's Longmen Business News, quietly turning it from beginning to end, and then reading it again, as if this dry business newspaper was some fascinating masterpiece.

About an hour later, the office door opened, and green-haired Feilin, who had just changed into surgical clothes, walked in.

"Kelsey, I can see the fatigue on your face. You probably didn't follow my advice and take a good rest."

"The suffering of this land always breeds tragedy. Faced with the meaningless reincarnation of history, I dare not waste even a moment. If you are angry, just vent it to me, but please don't affect others."

"I said I'm not here to raise an army to hold people accountable. I only brought weapons because I don't dare to waste even a moment of time."

"I advise you not to do that..."

"A 19-year-old young woman from Ursus, who suffered from a rare hematopoietic disorder and multiple organ dysfunction and could not receive effective treatment in her home country, contacted Rhode Island through the local office of Rhode Island and spent a lot of money to request medical treatment. She was born into the family of the Lord Counts of Yansk on the Devon River. She is the second daughter in the family and has no family history of hereditary disease or other medical history. After medical examination, the patient suffered from mineral disease, but mineral disease was not the cause of his pathological condition, and he had abnormal symptoms. After radiological examination, the patient’s kidneys, liver and bone marrow all had foreign body shadows, and early tumors were found in many places. It is basically certain that the bone marrow cancer has spread. I’m not wrong.”

"That's right..."

Qian'.;:,Looking for ";!Free?'?Fee"?Small"???said;""skirt,"2"5";5!!,''5":?;9'!:? 5;;!.3,,."0;?!;:0 "In my own implant status test report, there is a set of improved implants that were implanted in an ordinary female infected patient in the snowfield. Its status shows that the implant is ectopic and in abnormal working condition. The girl's name is Zina. She is an infected person rescued from the mine by Mr. Bozhuo Kasti. Her father and mother are already in the mine. Died. The positioning signal that her implant regularly feeds back is on Rhodes Island. I don’t think she is the illegitimate daughter of a certain lord of Yansk on the Devon River.”

"..."

"By the way, I remember I said before that the first version of the technology I used at that time used tantalum 193 copolymer to make the core structure of the implant, so it needed to be matched before use, which is equivalent to every set of implants. The body is tailor-made for a patient. As long as it is still in the patient's body, the automatic insurance mechanism will always exist. Even if the implant is physically damaged, due to the adaptability of the body and the tantalum 193 copolymer, it will not Severe life-threatening malignant effects have occurred.”

"you said before……"

"So, I just came here to understand the truth and an explanation. Apart from that, I will not do anything else and it will not affect the cooperation agreement between us. I want my technology to benefit the continent. I have never changed my purpose of meeting more people..."

"You're angry, Alpha, I can hear it."

"Wouldn't you be angry about something like this?"

"Of course I will be angry..." Kelsey looked at Alpha. The intelligence officer's report mentioned that a white-haired doctor once drove a huge six-wheeled vehicle to perform free clinics on the snowfield. There were also reports that, Five internal guards of the Ursus Empire lost contact at the same time on the snowy field. The soldiers who were originally responsible for supporting them reported that the five internal guards were massacred by a white-haired warrior using a long knife.

But now, all the elements were actively displayed by Alpha. Kelsey knew very well that she was just stating a fact to herself. The infected people in the snowfield were the patients she had been thinking about...

Kelsey swallowed. She didn't know how many years it had taken her to feel nervous in front of another person for the first time. "Alpha, there's a reason why I won't let anyone else reveal this to you." . At that time, I couldn’t predict how you would react after hearing the news..."

"I understand," Alpha nodded, "If I were you, I would also be worried whether that Alpha would pick up a weapon and kill everyone in a bloody mess."

Kelsey was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "So I hope to be able to tell you this matter in person, so that I can have time to explain to you that it will involve something detrimental to you. I just didn't expect it, and I was still attracted by you. I knew in advance that the child Ifrit is much more thoughtful than I thought."

"Don't blame her. I took the initiative to ask. Even if she didn't tell me, I might have found out."

"I have the responsibility for this matter. I had to personally participate in the treatment of that kind of illness, and there was no legacy from our ancestors. To be honest, I could only barely save her life through successive rescue operations. At that time, I had not thought about what should be done. How to explain the whole situation to you.”

"That's what you should do, but I guess you've figured out what to say by now."

"Probably..." Kelsey smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I can't measure the mind of an alien visitor, so I can only choose to explain the entanglements of various interests as clearly as possible, and leave the rest to your own judgment, and I pray you don’t take your anger out on others in Rhode Island.”

"You really think of me as some kind of alien demon who is unknowable, invisible and unheard..." Alpha couldn't laugh or cry. She waved her hand, and the Sealed Blade that had been leaning quietly on her hand turned into light dust and disappeared into the air. in, "You tell me first, and I will make my own judgment."

47.The banks of Devon are quiet part.3

"When we first received the patient, the report given by the local medical institution in Rhode Island stated that the patient's condition was extremely rare. It was speculated that it was a hematopoietic disorder caused by organic damage to the organs caused by mineral disease." Kai Erxi took out a file from her desk and handed it to Alpha.

“Before the medical imaging results came out, this was my judgment.

"It wasn't until I saw the shadows of the foreign bodies in those three locations on the X-rays that I recognized them. Not only had I seen similar shadows on Koloff and the others, but you also showed us the surgical records and related objects.

"At the first moment, my guess was that this woman was your former patient. For some reason, the implant in her body suffered a serious malfunction, and the extremely rich neutron nuclides released lost their restraint. The machine caused damage. I originally wanted to contact you immediately, but a steward of the other party's entourage mentioned that they were a noble family from Yansk on the Devon River when he reported his family name.

"After you appeared in our field of vision, I collected the intelligence I could through my channels. I knew that you had only been active in the snowfields before leaving Ursus. At that time, you already had a certain amount of knowledge. influence, but it is still unlikely to receive patients from the aristocratic Yansk on the Devon River, which is [-] kilometers away from the edge of the snowfield town. Therefore, our first guess has been overturned, and I believe that with With the technology you have mastered, with such a small sample size, the probability of such a serious technical failure should almost not exist...

"Then I asked the housekeeper about the patient's history of mineral disease before the onset of the disease. The housekeeper's answer was that he was accidentally injured and infected during an outing in the wild two years ago. But when I continued to ask the patient whether he was still suffering from the disease, When he had previously been treated with oripathy-related therapies, he became evasive.

"From that time on, I had a guess. The implant in this patient's body could only have come from your hand, and it must have an abnormal source. I asked Alina, who was studying in the medical department at the time, and she said that Among the people who also received experimental implant therapy, only three were women of similar age to the patient, namely she, Petrova, and a guerrilla recruit named Zina. After leaving the snowfield, You have lost contact with the guerrillas and members of the Integration Movement, which means that except for the special channels you may have, Zina is out of contact.

"And Alina mentioned that you once said that the implants used by Petrova and Zina were improved on the framework of Alina's implants, and the version for men was in There are differences in the released micromachines, so we collected the patient's blood samples, analyzed them, and found microstructures that were very similar to Alina's body structure, but different from Koloff's body structure...

"Combining all the above information, I can conclude that this patient or his family members obtained the implant in Zina's body through some improper means and tried to use it to treat the patient's mineral disease."

Alpha nodded. Kelsey's analysis was consistent with the situation she pieced together from her investigation. "To put it more clearly, they captured Zina, dissected her while she was still alive, and removed the implant. body, and then transplanted it into the body of this noble girl."

Kelsey nodded silently. She had seen too many ugly acts on the earth. Such cruel and shameless acts would still arouse the deepest anger in her heart, but she could not reveal it easily and did not tell the truth she realized. Everyone in the medical department.

"What are you going to do?"

"I just came in with a knife, and you should know my answer. They are aristocrats, and before the social structure undergoes a radical revolution, no one can judge the crimes they have committed, and they have even committed more crimes. Even though they have committed many crimes, they can still cover up their nobility with glory. On this land, I am the only one who has the position and ability to judge them. Zina is my patient. She accepted my experimental therapy. I should Be responsible for her to the end.

"If I had not set the time interval for regular data collection to once a month, maybe I could have discovered this tragedy earlier, but now, even I can only do the justice that should belong to her. Stretch out.”

Kelsi nodded silently again. She signaled Yaye to temporarily avoid the next conversation. After she went out, she spoke again, "Are you planning to kill someone?"

"It depends."

"Including that patient?"

"If it has a direct relationship with her..."

"Have you ever considered the serious social impact this will have? It doesn't matter here in Rhode Island. What matters is that it will affect your plans."

"I know, of course I've considered it."

"The count is definitely not the only one who knows that the patient has been transplanted with the implant you made. It is not only the government of the Ursus Empire, but also the major technology groups in the world that have been tracking the frontline research on ore disease. They will not care about that. As for the origin of the implants on patients, as soon as the practical and effective technology you provide is launched, they will use this matter to criticize you and use all resources to try to take this technology as their own. If you At this time, they took action to kill the count, and they will even more exaggerate that you used the count to conduct illegal human experiments. On the eve of the incident, in order to silence the insider, they killed the insider..." Kelsey's words were very sincere, Alpha I also know that everything she said is true.

"Rhode Island can help you withstand the first layer of pressure. Your technology will use practical efficacy and safety to offset most of the risks in public opinion. But if you do anything, Rhode Island will be unable to do anything. .”

"If I don't occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, it will be occupied by others, and I will definitely make them pay with blood, no matter what method is used."

"Are you sure? Are you going to use the infected, or someone to help you achieve this goal?"

"I already have a general idea. You can rest assured that the impact of this incident will be limited to Yansk on the Devon River and will not spread to further places."

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"Maybe...but even if I'm not sure, I will seek justice for her."

"There are so many injustices in this world..."

"Then when I encounter one, I'll solve it."

48.The banks of Devon are quiet part.4

When Alpha returned to the Life Star, it was already very late. On the hangar deck, Alpha encountered Xu Yu waiting here.Xu Yu looked at the image of Alpha that had never been used in front of him, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"You're back. I heard that you went to Dr. Kelsey with weapons. There wasn't any conflict."
