Chapter 460: Monument (2)
Since Feng Laohan's first awakening incident appeared, the empire's huge garrison began to act, and with the cooperation of the cultivators of the Cultivation Alliance, they began to investigate all citizens.
Relying on Xu Hewei's first energy report and the awakened ones who were now in control, the Three Thousand Academy and Jiudaoguan quickly came up with the first draft of the first star energy detector, and delivered it to Jiudaoguan's factories in various places for mass production, equipping it with the personnel of the garrison and the Cultivation Alliance.
In such a vigorous investigation, a large number of awakened and potential awakened people were found out by the garrison and the general alliance of cultivation, and most of them were of course quite cooperative, but there were still some awakened people who were resistant to this kind of behavior, and they began to play hide and seek with the garrison.
But these awakened people, after all, are not cultivator awakenings or sand sea centipedes, and the strength and physical strength of ordinary people have increased fifteen times, and they can still only roughly equivalent to the power of the mountain walking realm.
For the arrest of these rebellious awakened people, the garrison and the general cultivation alliance did not avoid the sight of ordinary citizens, and sometimes when they found an emergency, they directly cleared the scene on the spot, and then the cultivators went up directly one-on-one, and fought with the awakened people to the flesh, and everyone was excited.
Although many people yearn for this kind of scene, while yearning for cultivators, they also begin to have a certain sense of resistance and fear towards the awakened.
When the Awakened first appeared, there were still many people who hoped that they would be able to awaken themselves, and their children would also be able to awaken, and then they would be able to gain more powerful power without making any effort, and even be comparable to the students of the mecha department, so wouldn't they be able to be officers?
This kind of unearned hope makes many people look forward to when a pie from the sky can fall into their mouths, so that they can also enjoy some superior feelings.
And with the investigation of the garrison and the exposure of a large number of cases of awakened people resisting and being directly forcibly arrested, the stage of everyone's self-endangerment began.
They don't know why the empire wants to check the awakened, and they don't know where the awakened have gone after they have been taken away, but there has been a lot of news on the Internet, and the relatives and friends of the awakened who have been taken away are saying that they have not received any news after being taken away by the guards.
Go to the garrison and inquire, even if you have your hands and eyes in the sky, the information you get is still only - all the information about the Awakened is top secret, and I will not give you any advice.
They began to speculate whether the Awakened could be some kind of special virus, whether it would be the operation of some conspirator, after all, the previous incident of the Imperial Capital Half-Blood Ability and the High Priest Cult was still like yesterday, and they would never forget the method of using cannibalism to gain power.
All of a sudden, the entire empire was panicked and rumors spread, and the garrison still did not give any explanation, but still searched and hunted down the Awakened.
Under such rumors, more of your rebels appeared, and even some citizens spontaneously resisted, but the boycott still could not stop the pace of the garrison search, after all, there were still a large number of cultivators helping in it.
It didn't take long for the Empire to finally come up with an explanation and begin to make the matter of Star Energy and the Awakened public to the entire Empire.
The report spread throughout the empire through the state media almost overnight, with all schools demanding to organize readings, all units and companies demanding that all information be transmitted, and even neighborhood committees began to carry out door-to-door propaganda and education with such electronic boards.
The report made the fall of the meteorite and the escape of the starlight public, and directly linked the starlight to the awakened, and attached a photo of the meteorite, next to the meteorite, it was Xu Hewei, the young head of the Jiudaoguan who was studying, and next to Xu Hewei, stood An Xiaoyu who gave them a back.
After that, the report began to introduce the relevant research on starenergy, including the appearance and characteristics of the unit of starenergy that Xu He left behind, including a video of it when he was irritable, as well as some measurements of starenergy parameters and tests of the body data of the awakened.
The Empire points out that Starlight is not a conventional means of energy, it is different from any energy found on the Zhige Continent so far, it is an alien invader, and from the fact that they are parasitic in living organisms, all parasites will make certain claims.
Starlight also has an effect on the host's mood, amplifying the host's irritability, and according to the latest research, photos of the Sand Sea Centipede have also appeared in the Imperial Report, using the crazy performance of the Sand Sea Centipede to show that the Star Energy Parasite has a strong desire for the same kind of energy.
The empire warns all citizens that once they find that they have an awakened constitution or that their relatives and friends around them have an awakened constitution, they must notify the garrison for unified treatment, if the awakened person really approaches the same kind of energy, the consequences are unimaginable.
As an official report of the Empire, there is no way to explain what this unthinkable represents. But everyone knows that energy is in the human body, and if you want to get energy, what else can you do other than kill the other party?
So the empire began to become harmonious and united, and all citizens began to act, automatically monitoring themselves and those around them, and if they found any signs of awakening, they immediately notified the garrison, and the guards and all the practitioners' communicators began to receive all kinds of reports.
In this way, in just two days, the empire controlled nearly 500 cases of the Awakened across the country, and further verified that the Awakened did have a tendency to kill each other, and isolated them.
But according to Xu Hewei's speculation, the energy of the entire meteorite when it first entered the atmosphere was about 2,000 units, which is really numb, after all, the first few days are the easiest time to control.
But during this period of time, only a quarter of the awakened people that the empire can control, and the remaining three-quarters, conservatively estimated, excluding awakened beasts or other creatures, should probably have a thousand people under control.
After all, the empire is still predominantly human......
Such a discovery is a headache for the Empire, and the various forces have begun to actively search for the Awakened on the surface, seemingly to cooperate with the Empire's work, but in fact, all of them understand that what the Awakened are? It is the carrier of star energy.
What is Star Energy? It is a new and powerful energy that has never been possessed in the Zhige Continent, which can enhance people's strength, directly increasing more than ten times, after all, one day, the empire will conduct research on star energy, and if there is an effective means of using it when the time comes...... Starlight is not infinitely renewable.
At this time, whoever can grasp more awakened people in their hands means that they can get more performance reserves, and when the star energy begins to produce normative utility in the future, this is their strategic resource, this is their hard currency reserve.
These families and forces that have survived in the empire for thousands of years all understand this first truth, even the An family and the Zhong family are searching for and controlling the awakened, only the first Lei family is firmly on the high platform, and it is only the awakened who help the garrison start to deal with the riots.
After all, Feng Laohan's case has shown that a strong click can cause great damage to the awakened, and it is the most convenient and effective way to fight the awakened so far.
And An Xiaoyu, who is far away in the Eastern Wilderness, must not be like the imperial capital, with the right time and place, to be able to rely on the huge power station of the imperial capital, and use the powerful current to deal with the sand sea centipede, not to mention that there is not such a high-power power station to supply her with electricity, even if there is, who knows if this kind of sand sea centipede, which is countless times stronger than the awakened, will eat that set?
After getting the news of Xu Hewei, An Xiaoyu found the refurbber again and told him that the last mecha would start to be refurbished now, and all of them would be prepared according to the highest power that could be withstanded, and as for the energy matter, An Xiaoyu would solve it himself.
The refurbishment master hesitated, but finally accepted An Xiaoyu's order.
An Xiaoyu is now in the camp of the Eastern Wilderness, whether it is the Eastern Wilderness Army or the Changshan Army, they are all convinced by An Xiaoyu, especially after the two battles with the Sand Sea Centipede, their personal strength for An Xiaoyu has simply entered a kind of personality cult.
In this regard, An Xiaoyu did not carefully suppress it, after all, she did not have any outstanding combat achievements, so she could only rely on her personal strength to gather these people under her own hands, so that they could honestly listen to orders, at least in this way, she could save their lives at a critical time.
It's like last night's mech pilot.
The first time the pilot encountered a powerful enemy, he encountered this kind of unreasonable sand sea centipede, and his own beliefs were shattered when the left arm of the mecha was torn apart, and the whole person was in a trance, and now he is undergoing psychological counseling.
An Xiaoyu is also very unsure about the sand sea centipede, whether his own idea can directly solve it, if not......
Now she only hopes that Xu He Wei can quickly deal with the meteorite and return to the imperial capital with energy.
An Xiaoyu sat on the broken mecha shell for a night, and when everyone passed by this battlefield, they would stop to look at the young commander, thinking of the rumors about Shaozong in the military system before, and they all began to admire An Xiaoyu in their hearts.
And after a long night, the sand sea centipede did not come back after all, and the transport plane of Jiudaoguan appeared in the sky, An Xiaoyu's heart was a little calm, turned around and returned to the side of the meteorite, and began to prepare to carry the meteorite together.
With the help of the Eastern Wilderness Army, the lifting equipment was erected with ease, and the meteorite was quickly fixed on the load-bearing cable.
However, just as An Xiaoyu was about to take this breath, a familiar sound of carapace collision came from a distance, a large area of sand and dust rose high like an explosion, and a scream began to come, An Xiaoyu turned his head suddenly, and saw two mutilated corpses, which were falling in the air along with the gravel.
An Xiaoyu scolded fiercely and shouted loudly: "Is the mecha ready?" ”
Xu Hewei grabbed An Xiaoyu from behind and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
An Xiaoyu shook off Xu Hewei's hand: "What are you doing?" I am now the Supreme Commander of this camp, and I am responsible for their lives! ”
At this moment, Xu Hewei looked at An Xiaoyu's cold and abnormal eyes, and in her eyes, she saw the figures of the soldiers who died in Xiaoheba, and sighed in her heart, she still couldn't let go of those things at the beginning after all.
An Xiaoyu can't let go of the matter of Xiaoheba, and she won't let go of the people who died in the civil war in the Shahai base, and now, naturally, she won't let go of these soldiers who died in front of her eyes, even if they are the Changshan Army.
The refurbber waved his hand to An Xiaoyu from afar, indicating that all the rearmaments were ready.
An Xiaoyu saw that the joints of the mecha had been replaced with a thicker one, the hydraulic pipe had been added, and the chainsaw was still installed on her right arm, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Is the transfer of driving authority done?" ”
The regiper nodded: "It's already in your hands." ”
An Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and pressed on the door of the mecha cockpit, the cockpit opened in response, and the familiar cockpit appeared in front of An Xiaoyu's eyes.
Xu Hewei also came to An Xiaoyu's side at this time, looked at An Xiaoyu, who was already sitting in the cockpit, and asked, "What are your plans?" ”
An Xiaoyu laughed: "Don't you already know? ”
Xu Hewei was stunned for a moment: "No, it hasn't been tested......"
"How do you know I'm not tested?" An Xiaoyu buckled the button of the last seat belt and looked at Xu Hewei.
Xu Hewei was stunned for a moment by An Xiaoyu's question, and saw An Xiaoyu turn his head, close the cockpit door, and no longer see her face, which made Xu Hewei really a little uncertain.
An Xiaoyu has indeed undergone experiments, when she was sitting on the abandoned mecha last night, An Xiaoyu had used the abandoned mecha to do experiments, and her voice came from the communicator of the maintenance division: "If the power is increased by two hundred times, how long will it take to reach the critical point?" ”
The refurbber was stunned for a moment, and in the time when the mecha was activated, he quickly calculated it with the electronic board and gave An Xiaoyu an accurate answer: "2.35 seconds." ”
However, the reply was only a brief "um", and the tracks under the mecha began to turn, and An Xiaoyu had already piloted the mecha and rushed quickly towards the side where the sand sea centipede appeared.
Sitting in the cockpit of the mecha again, An Xiaoyu didn't have a sense of strangeness and unfamiliarity, as if he was still sitting in the mecha yesterday, skillfully manipulating this huge machine. Wrapped in An Xiaoyu's feelings, all the details and movements of the mecha appeared in An Xiaoyu's heart.
An Xiaoyu swung the joystick, crossed a beautiful S-shaped arc, and the speed of progress did not stop at all, dodging the attack of the huge tail of the Sand Sea Centipede, and then moved sideways in front of the Centipede, raised the laser cannon in his left arm, and raised his hand towards the eyes of the Sand Sea Centipede.
An Xiaoyu's head was so high that he didn't even use electronic guidance, and he smashed all six eyes of the sand sea centipede with a raised hand, and the sand sea centipede lost its vision, and began to go crazy for a while, its entire body was twisted, and it completely stretched out its body and began to attack indiscriminately towards its side.
The huge body hovered on the sand, countless pointed feet slashed through the air, An Xiaoyu drove the mecha carefully to avoid the irregular attack of the sand sea centipede, the mecha was in An Xiaoyu's hands, like a dexterous bicycle, moving dexterously on the sand only by relying on tracks.
Even when it was necessary to dodge quickly, An Xiaoyu was even able to use one-legged tracks and simple strides to make those movements that would be unbelievable to all drivers.
The people who were observing An Xiaoyu piloting the mecha from a distance, including the original owner of this mecha and the one who had collapsed yesterday, were all dumbfounded when they saw An Xiaoyu's operation.
Yesterday's driver reached out and slapped his face and asked his comrade-in-arms next to him: "You told me this is not true?" ”
The comrade-in-arms was also full of constipation: "I also think it's not true when I step on the horse, but ...... That's true! ”
Both of them were stunned, looking at the surf-like movements made by An Xiaoyu's mecha on the sand, it was really unbelievable: "How the hell did she do it?" Is she really just a first-year mecha student? It can't be the rebirth of an ace driver after 2,000 years, right? ”
"Perhaps, this is genius, right?"
"I really, I don't want to drive a mech anymore." His mood was getting more and more broken.
However, at this time, when An Xiaoyu approached the Sand Sea Centipede, its eyes had already begun to recover under the powerful repair ability. However, An Xiaoyu keenly observed that its left eye apparently recovered faster than its right eye, and it was obviously the fragment embedded in his right face yesterday that was working.
An Xiaoyu was exposed to the attack range of the Sand Sea Centipede, the centipede screamed twice, and its huge body instantly squeezed towards the mecha.
Looking at the centipede body squeezing back and forth towards the mecha, An Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, and a wisp of red meteorite energy in his hand instantly submerged into the mecha and entered the core energy of the mecha.
The whole mecha trembled, and bright red energy fluctuations appeared on its body, and the strength of the entire mecha instantly skyrocketed.
An Xiaoyu manipulated the mecha to jump, jumped directly at a height of nearly ten meters, and actually landed on the body of the sand sea centipede, and jumped again, jumping towards the head of the sand sea centipede, and the laser cannon in his left hand opened fire again, breaking his newly healed left eye, and the chainsaw on his right arm began to rotate wildly, emitting a more dazzling red light.
Both mech pilots were stunned: "How did this happen?" Can anyone tell me how this is done? How is it possible for a mecha to jump more than ten meters? ”
However, the refurbber told them: "It's meteorite energy, and meteorite energy directly enhances the power of the mecha, reaching two hundred times the power, 2.3 seconds, it's already here." ”
Hearing the voice of the maintenance division, everyone turned their heads and looked at An Xiaoyu's battlefield.
There was a violent cutting sound, which was so tooth-sore that even people's ears could not bear it, and a huge head rolled down the sand with the cutting sound, and a large piece of mucus flowed out.
With a final twitch, the dust settled, leaving only the mech, which had begun to be scrapped and smoke billowing from all the cracks in the armor, standing beside the dead monster.
It's like a monument.
