Chapter 15, Humanity, a Ruined Future
General Wang nodded first, then closed his eyes and sighed, and then when he opened his eyes again, he also returned to his usual demeanor, still full of oppressive force.
"Thank you, Professor Li. General Wang first gave an affirmation, and then asked: "What kind of materials are missing in the research card in that aspect, and if we can meet it, we will definitely fight for this life and get it." The last sentence expressed his determination.
Professor Li sighed again, and then explained: "Alas, no matter the matter of the material, but the technical problem, people, after all, have limitations, just like no matter how strong a person is, can he beat the lion with his bare hands? Can he win against the tiger? That is impossible, from the biological point of view, from the basic structure, there is an insurmountable ditch, and the direction of our experiment can already be said to be going against the road." Explain to General Wang, and sigh himself.
Without waiting for General Wang to speak, Professor Li continued: "Fortunately, we are not without gains, because of the invasion of alien space monsters, the substances we extract from them, this is tantamount to opening a door for us, a door to God, although I don't believe in any God, but what we lack at present is the key that can open the door."
However, so far, we have not been able to grasp the use of the key, and we can only get a glimpse of the scene inside the house through the cat's eye outside the door, but even so, the price is not ordinary. ”
"How big?" General Wang asked.
Professor Lee replied, "Life." ”
There was silence for a while, the price of life is indeed the biggest price, there is no one left, there is a greater price than this.
General Wang closed his eyes and asked, "Then how much time do we have?"
Professor Li sighed: "Three months, judging from the predictions on the prophecy parchment, there are at least three months left, and the second wave of large-scale space tide is about to happen, but at present, we have not even finished solving the first wave, so we can imagine the future dilemma." ”
General Wang touched his forehead and said, "Is there a finished product, a semi-finished product is also available, as long as it can be tried, no matter how big the cost, we can't pay it." ”
"If there is no accident, it will take at least three months before the finished product will come out, because the first batch and the second batch of experimental materials have been used up, and the semi-finished product is a little, but the price is ...... , you know. Professor Li sighed.
General Wang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and then opened them, as if he had made up his mind, turned to the dozen or so soldiers behind him and asked, "You say, we ...... What kind of person. ”
"Military. The soldier replied without thinking, there were twelve people in total, and the answer was powerful, which made the entire research institute quiet for a while, and the needle drop could be heard.
General Wang was not so casual this time, but said with a roar: "Then what do you say, soldiers?"
More than a dozen soldiers replied forcefully: "We are soldiers, we are defending the homeland and the country, and we are also the strongest backing of the people!"
"What time is that now, you know?" asked General Wang, with a heavy roar.
"You know, the moment of national crisis!" replied with such a generous and powerful reply.
"Then what do you say, what should we do at this time?" General Wang said.
"Protect our country, protect our people!" shouted the soldiers.
"Okay, then, for the single children, take a step back for me, immediately!" General Wang said again, pointing to the crowd.
As a result, no one present moved, all of them stood there with their heads held high, their faces resolute, and stubbornly, as if they had agreed.
"Li Guobin, you, stand back, your family is just a cub for you, don't think I don't know. General Wang pointed to a dark-skinned young man.
The young man's chest straightened even more and said, "Report to the general, I will not retreat." ”
"This is an order, give me a retreat, otherwise I don't have you as a soldier. ”
“...... Yes!" The young man named Li Guobin was finally forcibly retired.
Then I saw General Wang pointing to a young man and said: "Zhang Xiaoyong, you, retreat, you are the only one in your house, there are some in the file, don't try to make up the number." ”
Zhang Xiaoyong straightened his chest and said: "Report to the general, my child was born a few days ago, and my Zhang family is not the last, and I don't want my future children to know that his father is a coward, and I want him to be proud of me in the future." ”
The people around him sighed, and General Wang had no choice but to agree, but then said solemnly: "I can promise you, in the future, your relatives, the state care, your children, the state raises, as long as the country is still there, I will definitely not give up on them." ”
"Salute!" After speaking, General Wang took the lead in standing up, raising his hand in a military salute, and similarly, the surrounding scientific researchers also stood up and saluted, because they understood that these people were all heroes and had to carry out a mission that was almost certain to death.
At the suggestion of Professor Li, a scientific researcher took out a lockbox tremblingly, then entered the password and opened it.
Click.
White gas came out of the box, and then more than ten tubes of reagents appeared in front of everyone's eyes, General Wang directly reached out and pulled out one of the tubes, and before everyone could react, he directly pierced into his arm and pushed the liquid medicine in.
"General Wang!!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support, for fear that General Wang would have any accidents.
However, General Wang smiled and said, "You are the soldiers I brought out, so naturally Lao Tzu will personally bring them, and this time, ...... Thank you very much. ”
More than a dozen warriors were in tears at the moment, because they knew what it meant, it meant death, and as long as the potion was injected, the countdown to life had already begun.
A soldier gritted his teeth, grabbed a tube of potion, followed suit, and hit it directly on his arm, and in an instant the needle came out, pierced into his arm, and then injected the liquid medicine into it.
When the others saw it, they also immediately stepped forward and injected, but when Li Guobin wanted to rush the injection, he was stopped by everyone, and General Wang came to Professor Li and asked: "Let's talk about it, I didn't look at the specific data of this thing carefully, I want to hear more detailed information." ”
Professor Li nodded and said, "Okay, then you listen carefully." ”
He naturally knew that this was General Wang's desire for him to add more common sense to these soldiers.
So more than a dozen soldiers got closer and listened to Professor Li explain the specific information, which was also the result that General Wang wanted.
"This potion was extracted from various monsters with extraordinary characteristics in the country, and theoretically, it was inspired by the story of the dragon slayer warrior in Western mythology.
Legend has it that bathing in dragon blood, people will gain power beyond mortals, maybe this is not groundless, and now what you have just done is almost the same, but it is not dragon blood. Professor Li explained.
"This plan was implemented a few years ago, and it was proposed by my mentor, but as you can see, he finally became like that for the sake of experimentation, but it is precisely because of the outstanding contribution of the mentor that our experiment has a new route. Professor Li smiled wryly.
This plan, also known as the "Awakened" plan, is like the gap between humans and beasts, even the strongest people have no power to resist in the face of top predators such as lions and tigers shirtless, and what we have to do is to break through the limits of the human body, evolve the human body from the essence, and become an existence that is more than a hundred thousand times stronger than lions and tigers, so that we can cope with future crises. ”
"However, it is not perfect at the moment, that is, this plan still has unsolved difficulties, from the moment you inject the potion, it is precisely because of the fragility of human genes, you will only have three months left, and after three months, the telomeres in the gene chain will completely collapse, but in the meantime, the potential in the human body will be amplified, especially after absorbing the genes of extraordinary beings, this potential can break through the upper limit of the human body. ”
Therefore, we call them "awakened", but the disadvantages are also well understood, like the ...... in the myths and stories of our country"
"Youkai. "This time it was not Professor Li who said it, but General Wang's words, because then he directly demonstrated what extraordinary power is.
I saw that two horns suddenly appeared on his forehead, his hair began to rise wildly, and his height was also raised a lot, easily breaking through the two-meter mark, but his clothes were obviously a little smaller.
Everyone didn't dare to gasp, and then they all laughed, because it meant that humans would have the strength to resist in the face of monster invasion.
"Contact your mentor and ask him to predict in parchment that the big crisis in three months will be there, and we will arrange it first. ”
"Well, okay. Professor Li agreed, and went to one of the isolation rooms to find his mentor.
As a pioneer in China and a hero-like figure, Professor Li's mentor is such a person, who finally carried out the experiment through various efforts, so that mankind is not so confused about the future, so that there is a way forward.
But he is unlucky, and now he has become a monster, and he only stays awake for a certain time, and other times he is like a beast, and the sacrifice must not be small.
Everyone silently saluted in that direction, which was a tribute to the contributors.
