A few days later, in a secret laboratory inside NASA, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat was passionately caressing the outer wall of a sealed vessel.

"Oh God, it's so 'beautiful'!"

The alien creature in the sealed vessel seemed to be able to sense its surroundings, so it also squirmed and pressed its body to the corresponding position of the palm, as if trying to do something.

"Sorry to excuse me. Although it may make you unhappy to say this, but the 'Life No. 1' created by the state with more than a billion dollars has brought back such a few lumps of mud? ”

Seeing that Dr. Holland was intoxicated and interacting with such a disgusting thing, a major general in military uniform next to him said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sludge? This is the alien species that our awesome lads brought back from that strange planet at the cost of their lives! Their value is not measured in money! ”

Dr. Holland said unhappily as he withdrew his hand as the yellow 'sludge' inside shrank back.

"You'd better talk to the Congressional officials and the families of the victims to see if they're going to stuff this mud into your PY. I'm sorry I'm being a little rude, but if you can't tell me what these things are for and how much value they bring to the table so I can give them an account, then I'm going to stuff them into your PY with my own hands, and I can do it! ”

The gaze in the eyes of the Major General was extremely terrifying, like a fierce tiger about to devour people!

Dr. Holland was taken aback, and finally realized the difference in their identities, despite his deep knowledge of biology and having previously worked together as a team on the anatomy of other aliens (Zitarians).

But he is not irreplaceable, and a major general with power in his hands is not something he can offend.

He was just too happy and excited to ignore it.

So he immediately remedied: "I'm sorry, Major General Delong, the initial observation report will come out soon, please wait for me." ”

After saying that, he immediately ran to the machine next to him and began to operate frantically.

After waiting for a while, I heard him report: "After our initial observations and experiments, these alien creatures are unable to adapt to the Earth's environment, or they cannot survive on their own in an oxygen-rich environment. ”

"But then we made a major discovery, this alien creature is actually a parasitic organism, and they can parasitize the host body in order to achieve the result of coexistence."

With that, he picked one of the vessels and attached it to the other, and then everyone saw that the 'mud'-like thing wriggled little by little, and then in the blink of an eye it all entered the poor rabbit's body.

But within a few seconds, the poor rabbit was violently killed, and the 'mud' crawled out of its body intact, and then quickly returned to its own vessel, apparently the environment that simulated the Earth made it impossible for it to survive, and at most half a minute to a minute if it did not leave, it would die completely.

"So, these 'mud' are parasites on alien planets? Or is it a harmful 'pest', can I understand it that way? ”

The major general, who had been watching for a long time, spoke again.

Dr. Holland's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained: "These organisms need to bind to a breathing host in order to coexist in an oxygen-rich environment, so it's not that it's actively killing the host, but a violent rejection reaction, in other words, a 'blood type' mismatch between the two parties, similar to organ transplantation, where the biological interaction between two different organisms ......"

"Doctor, the reason I'm standing here is wondering what the value of these things is, not listening to your academic presentation. So now please tell me, is this thing useful or not, what is the use? If you still want to continue researching this thing, then you have to give me a reason to convince everyone else so that Life One's sacrifice is worth it. ”

Contrary to the excited and fanatical expressions of the surrounding research institutes, the major general asked with an indifferent expression.

Dr. Holland knew that the crash of Life-1 had put a lot of pressure on the military, after all, it involved billions of dollars to go, and tens or even tens of billions of dollars to invest in the future.

It is impossible for a country to have the final say by one person, and there are struggles between political parties, and there are people who exchange interests with each other, and there are people who support a proposal, and there are people who oppose it.

If more than a billion dollars are wasted like this, not to mention those opposition parties with different opinions will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, even if it is their own people, someone will definitely need to stand up and take the blame.

Obviously, this major general is the most likely candidate to be pushed out to take the blame, his status is high enough, but it is not particularly important, and he is a good seedling to carry the blame.

Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that this major general is so anxious to stay here and ask for an explanation.

The effect of these 'mud' brought back by Life One will determine whether he is carrying a black cauldron or a shiny golden cauldron!

If the statements of Dr. Holland and the others did not satisfy him, then he naturally did not make them feel better.

So Dr. Holland gritted his teeth and said what he had not yet confirmed.

"Cosmic warriors! That's the name I gave to my next project. Since this alien creature can adapt to the oxygen-rich environment of the earth through symbiosis, then on the other hand, can we humans also use this unique symbiotic relationship to survive on each other's planets without the help of any equipment!? ”

"And I personally think that once this alien creature finds a matching host, it will definitely give us a bigger surprise, such as a super soldier created by transcending the warrior serum!"

After speaking, Dr. Holland lowered his head in some shame, as a scientific researcher, he should not exaggerate unconfirmed speculations, but should pursue rigor and seek truth from facts.

But there is no way, if he wants to continue to study these things, he must make them seem to have the value of existential research, after all, this is a billion dollars and the lives of 6 astronauts in exchange!

And after listening to Dr. Holland's 'painting a big pie', the major general was not angry, but his eyes lit up, and there was actually a smile on his face.

"Space Warrior? Yes, this is it! Dr. Holland, write me a report as soon as possible, and the country will definitely support your research. ”
