Chapter 10 Space Crystals

"呲~呲~呲", the sound of metal cutting continued in the laboratory of the Veracruz Base Research Institute. Because of the need to erect some larger equipment, the whole laboratory is actually connected to the fourth and fifth floors of the building, the top is a hydraulic rod connection can be opened and closed, there are iron stairs to connect up and down, and the internal space is large enough to put down several containers, in a pentagonal shape. From a certain point in time, the lights seemed to flicker and dim intermittently due to unstable voltage, and many instruments were often disturbed, and the researchers at the institute were annoyed and helpless, but they still had to stay focused, controlling the robotic arm to carefully disassemble a shuttle-like spaceship that could only be considered small.

The spaceship itself has been damaged after falling into the Gulf of Mexico, but the whole is not dismembered, the pilot of the spaceship has died, sealed in a cryogenic sterile box, through the thick glass wall layer, it can be seen that the alien is not an alien with sharp teeth, and the appearance of a human is very similar, the difference is only that the skin on the face and body has some texture distribution, and the pupils are deep green, but the secret of this outsider flying over the galaxy to Earth has been sealed forever by death.

Dr. Eugene is a scientist at the Hellfire Legion and the head of the Veracruz Base Research Institute, and the entire space shuttle dismantling research project is in full swing under his leadership. The parts of the broken weapon system have been cut off, and they can even be repaired and used, the parts of the power propulsion system are very badly damaged, and it is likely that the direct cause of the ship's fall, from a structural point of view, the power system and the weapon system share the same extremely powerful alien energy source, and for the sake of safety, it is also being dismantled by Dr. Eugene little by little, because in the event of an explosion, this violent energy is likely to raze the entire base to the ground.

Jingle bell ~ jingle bell ~

A young researcher with a mobile phone hurriedly walked up to Dr. Eugene, who was wearing a hazmat suit, "Doctor, there's your phone. ”

Dr. Eugene, who was concentrating on the dismantling of the spaceship, didn't seem to hear it, and the screeching noise of the cutting machine cutting the connector made people unable to distract until there was a ding, the parts fell, and the young research institute reminded him again, then turned around irritably, looked at the young researcher with annoyed eyes, and scolded impatiently: "Is there anything important?" ”

The phone was still ringing, Eugene took the phone in one hand, and held the gold wire glasses with the other hand, put away his emotions, and connected the phone.

"General Odore!"

"Dr. Eugene, my trip to Base Veracruz has been cancelled at short notice, and I would like to know how the research is progressing," a deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Dr. Eugene wiped a handful of sweat that might have oozing from his forehead while working, and 1510 reported: "General, we have made some important discoveries from this spaceship, a fresh corpse of an alien, we have extracted his DNA, and we may be able to create a more powerful transhuman than the Alliance Super Soldier, and we have also dismantled the weapon system, which relies on a very powerful alien energy source, once we can master the technology to make this energy source, we can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the army, and have the ability to fight in space." and a very bizarre ...... that we haven't yet recognized."

"Alright", General Odoll interrupted him on the phone, "what I need is for you to come up with tangible research results, I don't have time to listen to your scientific assumptions and visions, maybe some people have already set their sights on me, my time is short, I need you to buy time at all costs, I have asked Felix to help you, I also need you to help him become stronger." ”

"Are you referring to genetic technology? Major Felix is your son after all, and there will be some pain and risk in that," says Dr. Eugene.

"I don't care about the process, it's our mission", the voice on the phone is firm and unquestionable.

Dr. Eugene was silent, he knew too well the iron-blooded and ruthless General Odore, the absolute leader and supreme will of the Hellfire Legion, so he no longer dissuaded, and said heavily, "Yes, General. ”

The phone hung up.

Dr. Eugene was just about to turn his mind to the research work of the spaceship, when the door to the laboratory was opened, and two young men in officer uniforms, a man and a woman, led by five or six soldiers, walked in and stopped him from behind.

Dr. Eugene put down what he was doing and walked over to the tall, handsome young man with blond hair on the other side, "Major Felix, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, the general just finished talking to me on the phone." ”

Felix smiled, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Dr. Eugene, your new homing missile helped us defeat our opponents in the last Battle of the Highlands, and it did an excellent job. ”

Felix looked curiously at the wreckage of the spaceship, as well as the sealed alien corpses, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Is this a guy from outer space, it's amazing!" ”

Felix took a moment before retracting his gaze.

"Oh, forgot to introduce me", Felix turned sideways and said, "This is my sister, strictly my cousin, Knicks, we are here mainly to assist you in your work and keep the base safe." ”

Dr. Eugene was unusually keenly aware of the implicit message from Felix's words, and asked, "Is there any news about the safety of this ship?" ”

Felix approached Dr. Eugene's side and said nonchalantly, "Don't be nervous, just received a secret message that a few trouble-seeking bugs from the Alliance Army are eyeing this place, and they are planning to take action." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you", Dr. Eugene gave a solemn look, as the chief scientist of the Hellfire Legion, he knew very well that these alien technologies in front of him could completely affect the direction of a war and the pattern of this world if they were fermented for enough time.

"You're welcome, it's just some clowns."

The female Hellfire officer named Nicks walked to the dismantled ship at some point, and the entire cockpit was a little deformed, and there was a 12-sided crystal device connected to the table near the cabin console, and it was semi-embedded and fixed to it, which was very special.

"What is this?" Nicks was curious and couldn't help but touch it with his fingers.

At the moment of contact, the lights in the laboratory suddenly flickered, most of the instruments and equipment could not be displayed and worked normally, the indicator lights were lit, and a warning sound was issued, and a servo robotic arm closest to the cabin was originally in a start-up state, but suddenly burst out a pinch of sparks, and the control circuits were disordered.

The Knicks seemed to be frozen there, reality was still, and countless strange visions were flipping and surging in his mind!

"Don't touch it!" , Dr. Eugene hurriedly stepped forward nervously and shouted to stop the Knicks.

Dr. Eugene actually stopped the Knicks after only two or three seconds, but for the unprepared Knicks, it seemed like an unusually long time.

"Uh~God", Nicks took a deep breath, immediately withdrew his fingers, raised both hands, his heart was beating hard, and he stepped back carefully, for fear of touching some device again, "I just touched it lightly, and I saw that there was a green light on the crystal like flowing lines, and then a lot of things ran into my head, what is this?!" ”

Dr. Eugene hurriedly ran to cut off the power supply of the faulty robotic arm, and beckoned the other personnel to take the robotic arm away to avoid a fire caused by a short circuit of the current.

"I don't know, no one knows, more than once", Dr. Eugene pointed to the 12-sided crystal, excited and a little frightened, and said quickly, "We call it the space crystal, this strange crystal is the most mysterious thing on this spaceship, I tried to use a robotic arm to cut it off directly, as soon as it came into contact, it caused the same situation as now, very strong electromagnetic interference, and directly damaged the two machines, and then we tried to use rays to detect the internal structure, but we did not get a valid image." It seems to swallow up most of the particle stream, and then it falls silent. ”

"I felt it dangerous, and when I touched it, it was like magic, even if it was just for a moment," Nicks was stunned, trying to recall the intense and strange sensation of that moment.

"Don't touch it directly with your hands, it can be fatal, just slowly remove it from the top first."

Felix helped his sister to the side, keeping his distance from the wreckage of the spaceship, and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Knicks?" ”

Nicks shook his head, banishing those chaotic visions from consciousness, "I'm fine, nothing serious, I'm going to go out for a walk, standing here makes me a little dizzy." ”

......

"Catherine, there's something new to be discovered here."

In the laboratory of the institute, Captain Kevin, who was in charge of the delivery, had already infiltrated in disguise, and his professional experience made him unnoticed and secretly witnessed the whole process.
