Chapter 2: The Sun
Su Zhuo will never forget this midsummer morning, the Gobi Desert in the distance is desperate, the poplars swaying gently on both sides of the road, the colorful flags waving in the wind and the dancing flags around him and his uncle, and the huge spaceship slowly turning into black dots and disappearing into the blue sky.
Su Zhongjun's voice, like the clearest stream, suddenly poured into Su Zhuo's heart, which had become disordered because of the news he suddenly learned.
"The reason why I can't is because I believe that I can ......" Su Zhuo repeated this sentence lightly, Su Zhongjun nodded with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, straightened up, and led him through the tall buildings.
They boarded an open-top hovercar that circled two huge factories and flew towards a giant beast-like dormant ship moored in the sun. Su Zhuo sat on the suspended car and saw the side of the sky-blue hull of the huge spaceship, spraying the two big words "sun" with red paint.
"The Sun is the earliest space battleship of mankind......" A suspended car gradually faded away, but some of the voices on it remained.
"Sun......" Su Zhuo lowered his head, and the rear admiral beside him smiled: "This is your father's first car, at that time, your mother was the chief medical officer of the ship, uh......" The rear admiral seemed to suddenly realize something and stopped talking. Su Zhuo lowered his head, unable to see the change in his expression.
The open-top suspended car flew into the open Sun and parked on the tarmac, the two soldiers and Su Zhongjun Su Zhuo got out of the car one after another, and the major general and the teenager got on the automatic elevator and headed towards the depths of the spaceship.
Su Zhuo noticed that he and his uncle were not the only ones who had arrived, and that there were many adults in suits or military uniforms, with young men and women with young faces on their faces, getting out of the open-top hovercars and boarding the same escalators.
"Mom, what is 'Plan K'?" Not far in front of them, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl asked the lieutenant colonel who was holding her hand.
The woman caressed the girl's face with one hand and said dotingly: "At the end of the last century, scientists discovered that the cosmic particles could be transformed by special methods to enhance the potential of the human body, but at that time, all conditions were lacking, and the transformation of the human body only existed in theory. Ten years ago, after years of painstaking research, they were finally able to build a reliable device. Oh, those transformers in the movie are the crystallization of Project K~"
"Does it hurt to modify the human body?"
"Perhaps...... There will be a little. The mother was silent for a while, and then said to the girl.
The girl showed an anxious look, "Then Mom, can I not participate in this plan?" I'm afraid it hurts......"
Hearing the girl's slightly pleading words, the mother suddenly burst into tears, and the girl said, "Why is my mother crying?? β
Mother hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Don't be afraid, Mom will always be with you." But this program, you must participate. β
"Mom don't cry, I'll participate in ......"
The same scene happened to a father and son behind Su Zhuo, but Su Zhongjun and Su Zhuo remained silent since they boarded the escalator.
"These people, know what could happen?" After a while, Su Zhuo asked in a low voice.
"As a parent, that's all you can do for your children at this time." The Major General sighed.
"What will I become after Project K?"
"Hmm...... It's hard to say, your father was the first batch of people to undergo the transformation of Project K, and after being transformed, in addition to his strong physique, he also has the ability to be a 'heart whisperer', and can transmit information directly to the other party's mind within a certain range. β
Su Zhuo understands the importance of the "Hearttalker ......" to this character, which has become increasingly important in science fiction films, and a Heartwhisperer commander can control an entire fleet most effectively in war.
"What about you? Uncle. β
"Light controller. This ability is very weak at the beginning, but after a few growths, it can become very terrifying in terms of personal combat power. Dr. Ma, who was in charge of me, said that if I took a few more steps, I might be able to threaten the battleship. Hehe, but I know my own business, and the battleship is too illusory. β
People got off the elevator in a bright and spacious hall with a transparent porthole on one side that allowed a view of most of the Jiuquan spacecraft launch center. In the hall, there are crisscrossed sofas and corresponding coffee tables. When they arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting in the hall, including government officials who often appeared on television, military generals in camouflage green, sky blue, and dark blue military uniforms, with stars on their shoulders, and some, in suits and leather shoes, some of whom Su Zhuo recognized as important figures in the society of various countries.
The hall was soon filled with people, and after a while, a group of beautiful and tall female soldiers came out of the door on the left, handing out a brown booklet to the waiting people, and some female soldiers changed the tea and coffee that had been cold on the coffee table.
"Plan K ......" someone whispered out the big words on the cover, and then the voice gradually decreased, the booklet said some problems to be paid attention to in the process of renovation, the booklet has a total of four pages, on the last page, written "Class A secret, must not be leaked" in large red letters.
"Look, uncle." Su Zhuo pointed to a line on the booklet, "If you are sick or have recovered from illness for less than three days, you are not allowed to participate in this plan......"
Su Zhuo raised his head and looked at Su Zhongjun. The latter's old face turned red and said in a low voice: "How can a cold be considered sick?" β
"But uncle, why do you speak so quietly......"
"Uh......, there's no way to make a lot of noise here."
"Will you die?"
"It should ...... No. β
"Then I'll participate."
"Uh......"
Sometimes, the major general felt that his nephew always had a demonic cleverness, and although he could face thousands of troops with poise, he always had to face this nephew with a hard headβa feeling that would become even stronger when something was hidden from him.
There was silence between the two for a while, and the major general sighed and explained: "Time is running out, and with each passing day, the situation changes a little. If you don't take some risks now, it will be difficult for you to be alone in the days to come. Su Zhuo nodded in understanding, seeing so many anxious adults in the hall, he had some understanding of the current situation.
"Boom!"
The sound of gold and iron colliding, as if the whole world had been smashed by a heavy hammer, and the people in the hall suddenly staggered, screaming, crying, and screaming, filling the entire hall.
Su Zhuo was hugged by a strong arm for the first time, and Su Zhongjun said loudly: "Don't mess up, everyone!" Soldier! Soldier! Contact the captain! β
A few soldiers crawled out of the way, a few men helped to maintain order, and the men and women present protected the children, and although the shaking of the hull did not stop, everyone slowly settled down.
"Is it an earthquake?" Su Zhuo asked the man behind him.
"If there is an earthquake, it will be detected at least a few hours before." The major general's expression was very solemn. With his rich experience, he couldn't think of the reason for the violent vibration of the hull, but fortunately, the vibration of the hull was slowly decreasing at this time.
With an amazing scream, the woman's eyes stared out of the porthole and she fell to the ground, "Oh my God! Can anyone tell me what that is!? β
Su Zhuo followed the woman's gaze to look out of the porthole, and the next moment, he saw a scene that he would never forget, under the blazing sun, a black creature the size of a large truck and a narrow body, with its forelimbs, inserted into the head of a soldier who shot at him. The special bullets equipped by the army shoot at its body, sparks fly, and it is difficult to damage it at all.
More and more soldiers rushed over, armored vehicles also drove over, and the long barrel shook, and almost at the same time, the giant insects dozens of meters away were shrouded in firelight.
"Boom!"
The armored vehicle succeeded in enraging the giant black giant worm, and its huge body slammed forward, and the soldiers who were run over by it turned into a pool of blood, and with a swing of its giant tail, it sent the armored car flying into the sky, and the latter exploded in mid-air, bursting with brilliant light. The whole hall suddenly turned white, and people couldn't help but close their eyes.
After a moment, Su Zhuo opened his eyes, and the hall was extremely quiet at this moment, and people held their breath and looked out of the porthole. The bright light dimmed, and I saw that the giant insect was broken into several pieces, and its head was also split, and the corrosive blood made the cement floor scorch, and the army gradually dispersed, and several military trucks drove over and dragged the body of the giant insect away. Su Zhuo heard the voices of the people around him sigh.
He suddenly noticed that in the place where the giant insects had been infested not long ago, there was a man in a sky-blue military uniform, and a star on his shoulder was shining in the sun.
"Uncle, that's ......"
Su Zhongjun's expression was very solemn, "I didn't expect that some of them had already arrived on Earth." β
Su Zhuo couldn't help but shudder, feeling his nephew's slightly trembling body, and the major general gently patted him on the shoulder. The solid support behind him made the boy slowly settle down, "Is this the Zerg?" β
The Major General nodded solemnly.
"But uncle...... Is that Major General a remodeler or not? Was it the black beetle he killed? In the moment of white light, kill such a terrifying giant worm ......"
Su Zhongjun sighed, "But there are too few transformers...... There are even fewer reformers of the magnitude of a major general, and no one knows what position such a giant worm holds among our enemies. β
"It's not too bad to be able to break through the defenses of outer space and come to Earth, right?"
The Major General shook his head. A few soldiers who went out came in and said that the ship was being urgently overhauled due to the impact of the giant worm on the hull and would delay its take-off by half an hour.
The scene that happened next to the Sun not long ago made everyone's hearts heavy, and the adults whispered explanations to the children. A fourteen-year-old boy was exposed to something other than his simple life for the first time, and he cried out in panic, "The Zerg are coming, they will eat us!" His father, who was a colonel, squatted down and kept saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad is here, Dad will always be here." The boy hugged his father tightly, "Dad...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid...... Don't leave me. β
A little girl screamed and wanted to run out, but was stopped by her father in a straight suit, and finally slapped the little girl in place.
Everyone looked at them, and the little girl cried, "Daddy has never beaten Yanyan...... Woowoo...... Never ......"
The man who looked so resolute couldn't help crying at this moment, he hugged the little girl, "Yan Yan, Dad doesn't want to beat you, Dad also wants to protect Yan Yan for the rest of his life, but Dad is afraid that he can't do it...... Yan Yan, I must participate in the renovation plan, and my father hopes that even if my father is gone, Yan Yan can live happily in the future......"
The little girl howled and cried, beating her father's chest, "Yan Yan don't want it, Yan Yan wants her father to be with me forever......"
Su Zhuo couldn't help but sniffle, only to suddenly realize that at some point, tears had quietly flowed all over his cheeks, and he was also terribly afraid of the impending disaster. But at this moment, he tried to tell himself that he was not envious, not envious of those teenagers and girls who had their parents by their side at this time.
β¦β¦
The spaceship slowly lifted off, and the launch center of the Jiuquan spacecraft gradually turned into a point, Su Zhuo clinged to the porthole, looking at the earth that was slowly becoming blurry below, and finally a large cloud of mist obscured his vision.
He is looking forward to the upcoming transformation, but he is afraid, because once the transformation is completed, it means that he will no longer be able to hide under the wings of his father, but will have to face the fear from the future with his own life.
