Trickster Hunter

Chapter 353 Biochemical Armor

"Then what?" Sun Hang asked.

Although he also uses mycelium as a weapon and even uses mycelium to make puppets that are "exactly the same" as himself, he has never been interested in integrating Tai Sui mycelium with modern technology to create equipment that can be used by ordinary people. Didn't think about it.

After all, for Sun Hang himself, he is a super weapon, and those man-made weapons can only serve as the icing on the cake... If you rely too much on these things, you will put the cart before the horse.

Apart from anything else, he didn't even need to use the PFDA just for the last part of the plan to break into the battle - using electromagnetic field acceleration, he could easily break through the PFDA's Mach 5 top speed. Not only was he faster, but he also turned and accelerated. Slowing down and even emergency stops should be more flexible.

"I can only say that this thing is an extremely unnatural biological material." Song Yarong said, "It must be tough and tough, rigid and rigid, and it even has the ability to repair itself and precise control... It is a man-made object It is completely irreplaceable, but its biggest problem is that once it is disconnected from me, it will degrade by itself within a few seconds and cannot be combined with PFDA at all.”

"What is Tai Sui?" Fukada Miki interjected and asked.

A pale and slender hyphae stretched out from Song Yarong's fingertips and lightly touched Fukada Weixi's forehead.

"Wow, this thing... could it be your memetic ability? Are you not only a researcher, but also a monster hunter?" Fukada Miki whispered.

"To be precise, this is Sun Hang's ability." Song Yarong said, "He is my 'source of infection'."

Hearing what Song Yarong said, Fukada Miki was suddenly surprised: "You infected her? But... an infected person actively infects humans. This is not against the law..."

"That time he was trying to save my life. It was an emergency evacuation operation, so there is no need to bear any responsibility." After Song Yarong finished speaking, she turned to look at Sun Hang, "I have tried many times, but the Taisui mycelium is leaving my body. After leaving the body, the longest it lasted was only three point four seconds, and starting from one point seven seconds, its properties began to change, and those excellent physical properties also rapidly declined. "

As she spoke, the hyphae on Song Yarong's fingertips broke and fell off on its own like a gecko's tail, and fell into the palm of her other hand. Within two seconds, the hyphae seemed to be blown away by the sun. Like plastic products that have aged due to exposure to the sun, Song Yarong turned into white powder just by touching it lightly with her fingers.

"The only solution is for me to board the PFDA myself and connect the hyphae on the body to the PFDA." Song Yarong said, "Let me become a part of the PFDA, thus making the PFDA a true biochemical warfare machine." First'."

"Then you can't use mycelium to connect to other people's armor?" asked Fukada Miki, "Since the mycelium is so tough, it shouldn't break so easily during high-speed flight, right? "

"Okay, I can only break in with one team at most, and I can't take care of the teams in other directions." Song Yarong said, "That's why I want Sun Hang to think of a way to see if his hyphae can escape from the body." After that, it lasts for a while longer.”

"How long will it take?" Sun Hang asked.

Sun Hang himself has never tested the longest survival time of mycelium after leaving his body. Even the mycelial puppets he used as bait are connected to the main body by a large mycelial net buried shallowly on the surface. - Once the connection between the puppet and the mycelium network is disconnected, Sun Hang will immediately lose control of the puppet.

But PFDA does not need to control the mycelium. It only needs the mycelium to maintain its original physical properties for a period of time, which is enough to complete the task.

"The PFDA will be transported to the departure area in the form of a semi-finished product. Including assembly, debugging, engine ignition acceleration and formal penetration, I need the Taisui mycelium to remain in a stable state for at least fifteen minutes after leaving the body." Song Yarong said.

"I'll give it a try." After saying that, Sun Hang threw a small ball of mycelium into a transparent box held in the arms of a researcher nearby.

There are many cables connected to the surface of the transparent box, and the inside of the box is covered with dense monitoring instruments and micro-robotic arms. As soon as the mycelium entered the box, four robotic arms came out at the same time and fixed the mycelium in the center of the box. In addition, a dozen probes were shot out at the same time, piercing the inside of the hyphae.

Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye. The researcher holding the box took a look at the readings on the outside of the box and said in surprise: "Team leader! There is no change in the data! The state of the mycelium is very stable!!"

"It's only been five seconds. I'm so excited and useless." Song Yarong said this, but the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed. "Continue to observe... Don't forget, what we need is fifteen minutes. Not fifteen seconds!"

One minute.

Three minutes.

Five minutes.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the mycelium in the transparent box.

Ten minutes have passed... There are still no major changes in the performance readings of the mycelium, and some researchers have ecstatic looks on their faces.

Song Yarong glanced at these subordinates. She wanted to say something like "Don't open the champagne at halftime", but she was afraid of being poisoned by her poisonous grandmother. In the end, she took a deep breath and said nothing.

Thirteen minutes...Fourteen minutes...

Fifteen minutes!

"Okay!!" A researcher waved his fist vigorously and shouted loudly.

Sounds of relief sounded one after another, and several people clapped to each other in celebration. Some even ran aside holding their computers and began to prepare for the next step of work.

"Don't worry about being happy yet! Keep observing! The longer Sun Hang's hyphae can be maintained in a stable state, the more time is left for the maintenance team, and the higher the error tolerance rate of the operation!" Song Yarong said.

It wasn't until twenty-two minutes and forty seconds that the instrument's readings began to change significantly. Then, in just half a second, the mycelium was directly powdered and scattered at the bottom of the transparent box.

"Twenty-two minutes, forty points, sixty-seven seconds!" The researcher holding the box carefully placed the box on the ground. Only then did he realize that his arm was extremely sore, as if it was about to break—— The total weight of this test box including various equipment is more than ten kilograms. Logically speaking, after Sun Hang threw the mycelium in, he should put the box on the experimental table aside, but after five seconds, his mind was already blank, and he could only read the screen silently like a machine. The data displayed on the screen completely forgot to put the box on the experimental table.

Even the researchers who were watching forgot to remind him of this.

This resulted in this guy directly turning into a human stand, standing motionless for twenty-two minutes.

"Great!" Song Yarong clenched her fist hard and turned to look at Sun Hang, "Can you provide a large amount of this kind of hyphae? I will increase the duration of my own hyphae from one point nine seconds to three point four seconds. Seconds later, I discovered that I could not produce such mycelium in large quantities, and forcibly producing this kind of mycelium would give me a very tired feeling. Whether I was resting or using drugs, this tiredness was very uncomfortable. It’s hard to get rid of, you just have to wait for it to subside on its own.”

"The mass of mycelium just now was just made by me... I didn't specifically extend its duration... If you need it, I can at least make a few tons." Sun Hang said, "But the premise is that the surrounding area There is enough material for me to swallow and transform into the components of mycelium.”

From this perspective, Taisui mycelium still complies with the law of conservation of matter.

When facing Chimera No. 17, many of those mycelium puppets were transformed from soil. In addition to connecting each hyphae puppet, the mycelium buried in the ground played the biggest role. Just like the root system of a plant, it absorbs the components of the soil and converts them into substances that make up mycelium.

However, without absorbing foreign objects, Sun Hang can also split into several mycelium puppets - these mycelium puppets look as tall as real people, but are actually very small in mass. The true mass of one puppet is less than one kilogram. , it can be said that it is lightweight to the extreme.

If mycelium didn't last very short, this thing would definitely trigger a revolution in the field of materials science.

"That's great! You don't need that much at all. A PFDA only requires less than two hundred grams of Tai Sui mycelium! I will show you the drawings of the parts later. You only need to use the bacteria according to the drawings. Just provide the corresponding parts for the wire components, and someone will be responsible for the installation work!”

Song Yarong did not tell Sun Hang that in order to minimize the time loss of mycelium during the installation process, those technicians had practiced thousands of times in the past few days, and the entire installation process had been optimized from the first thirty minutes. , shortened to the current eighty-five seconds.

"But I still have a question. How do you stop this thing?" Sun Hang asked, "The safe area around Chimera No. 17 is only three hundred meters. If it slows down in advance, it will increase the number of people being attacked. The risk of Chimera No. 17 stress response hit, if you wait until you enter the safe zone before slowing down... If I remember correctly, the latest fighter with extremely strong short take-off and landing capabilities Fighter planes also need a runway buffer of three to four hundred meters when landing, and the fastest speed of these fighters is only a little over Mach 3, not to mention that they have already begun to slow down in the air before landing on the runway... Now you Do you want a Mach 5 thing to complete the process of decelerating to an emergency stop within a distance of 300 meters...or do you plan to directly hit Chimera No. 17?"

"You are wrong about one thing. The landing distance is not three hundred meters, but nearly six hundred meters." Song Yarong said, gesturing left and right with both hands, "From this end of the safety zone to the other end of the safety zone... It’s the diameter, not the radius.”

"According to our calculations, after excluding the diameter and space of the Chimera 17 itself, and trying to maintain a safe distance of more than ten meters from the Chimera 17, the maximum landing distance available for the PFDA is 490 meters. Of course, after the speed is reduced, we can also turn on the reverse jet and side jet, so that the last flight path becomes an arc around Chimera 17... According to the results of computer simulation, in fact The landing distance is more than 800 meters.”

"Even if it's 800 meters, how do you plan to make a Mach 5 speed thing reduce its speed to zero at 800 meters?" Sun Hang continued to ask, "Mach 5, five times the speed of sound, three hundred and forty times Five, that is, 1,700 meters per second... This is more than 800 meters, which is only half a second. "

"After the PFDA enters the safe area, it will directly throw away the back thruster and activate the deceleration thruster directly in front of the armor and the steering thruster on the side. At the same time, the armor will launch a sticky missile towards Chimera No. 17 The anchor hook uses Chimera No. 17 to perform steering and deceleration," Song Yarong said, "And. When the deceleration process reaches the second stage, the armor will automatically disintegrate, and at the same time, the ejector inside the armor will be used to 'eject' the pilot to the ground. At the same time, the airbag inside the special driving suit will quickly inflate and become a pilot. It becomes a huge balloon to absorb the reaction force when it hits the ground.”

"Not only that, the balloon itself also has a directional control device and a micro-propeller, which can ensure that the pilot will not be ejected outside the safety area after landing... These have been simulated on the computer and have reached the stage of actual machine testing. We have taken the steps, but we are stuck on the mycelium material," Song Yarong said, pointing to the researchers, engineers and technicians who were busy again, "Your arrival has helped us solve this problem. In an hour, the first actual machine test will officially begin! ”

"Where are you going to test? Who is the tester?" Sun Hang pointed at himself, "It can't be me, right?"

"In the southern suburbs, we have created a training ground that simulates the Chimera No. 17 incubation area. We have used high-strength concrete to create a 'simulated cocoon' in the center of the training ground. The test will be conducted there. As for the testers, we have already It’s already been selected...but if you want to test it yourself, I can make a temporary substitution!”

"No, no, I'll just take a look... Besides, I don't need PFDA." Sun Hang immediately waved his hand.

"That's right, your ability is much easier to use than PFDA... It seems that you can build one less real machine by then." Song Yarong patted her helmet, "Speaking of which, your ability... comes from 'Kui Niu', right?"

"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded.

"It's a pity. If I had known you could acquire such an ability, I might have been able to completely overturn the PFDA's original plan and redesign a new set of penetration equipment... It's a pity, it's a pity, time no longer allows me to do that. Song Yarong sighed, "But, PFDA is enough!"
