Chapter 306: The Source of All Things
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Shirley was stunned, and looked at Zhong Tu beside her with shocked and somewhat neurotic eyes.
However, Zhong Tu did not speak, but suddenly reached out and touched Shirley Lu's cheek.
Shirley Lu was startled by his sudden movement, and subconsciously jumped up from the bench, ran to the side, looked at Zhong Tu with a little anger and asked loudly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Can you show me the earrings on your ears?" Zhong Tu smiled, and his attitude was still gentle.
"Earrings?" Shirley Lu frowned, confused.
"Yes." Zhong Tu affirmed.
Shirley Lu was silent for a moment, and finally took off the earrings on her ears with a little hesitation, she wanted to hear what the fierce mystery in front of her had to say.
"This is a relic left to me by my mother, don't lose it to me." Shirley Lu said unceremoniously as she handed out the earrings.
"Don't worry, if you lose it, I'll accompany you for ten pairs." Zhong Tu said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took the earrings and took them in his hand to observe them carefully.
"See what?" Shirley Lou curious.
Zhong Tu didn't answer, but with a flip of the palm of his other hand, a purple near-diamond-shaped irregular crystal like the gem on her earrings appeared in his hand.
"It's ......," Shirley Lu said in amazement.
“Fold Quartz。”
“Fold Quartz?” Shirley Lou repeated, "What's that?" ”
"A crystallization of a special substance born in the body of the cosmic Zerg Vagula." Zhong Tu explained.
"Cosmic Zerg Vagula? So what? Anyway, from this moment on, Shirley Lu felt more and more at a loss in her heart.
First of all, what is the Cosmic Zerg Vagula? Extraterrestrial creatures? Or something else?
And the kind of crystal called Fold Quartz in Zhong Tu's mouth, how could the purple gems used on the earrings he got from his mother's hand be that kind of thing.
And the most important thing is that in my vague childhood memories, how can the parents of very ordinary scientific researchers have such a thing in their hands?
Or is the information in her memory just an illusion, and the real situation of her parents is not as simple as she knows, so she was attacked by some people and killed one day?
If this is the case, it can also explain why parents who have always been kind to others were suddenly killed.
Yes, this is what happened to Shirley Lou as a child, her parents were killed in an accident, and she was orphaned and made a living picking garbage in the slums of Macross Galaxy, until she was finally found by Grace.
At this point, I have to talk about the situation of the immigration ship Macross in Macross Fortress. Not all migrant ships have a complete bionic ecological cycle like Frontier, and the inhabitants inside are still living in a state similar to that of the Earth, but they are varied.
For example, Shirley's exposed Galaxy is a futuristic steel city built entirely with high technology, with neither sunshine and rain like Frontier nor meadows and forests inside.
As a result, Galaxy has developed a unique state of development – technology to the end. A large number of advanced technologies and various optimized and improved advanced technologies were born from it, and finally applied to the Galaxy and other migrant ships.
For example, the mechanical human body used by Grace, also known as the human body modification technology, was born from the Galaxy and then accepted by the high-ranking officials, capitalists, and wealthy people on other immigration ships, and then popularized.
Therefore, Galaxy is a treasure trove of technology in the entire Macross world, and it deserves to be taken seriously.
Even if the atmosphere on the Galaxy is really hard to like, and the ship is full of careerists.
"Remember yesterday's emergency evacuation notice? That's because of the arrival of the Wagula. Zhong Tu turned his hand and put away the FOLD crystal he had found from Vagula's corpse, looked up at Shirley Lu with a puzzled face, and smiled.
"What?! Because of Vacura! Sure enough, Shirley Lu's expression changed when she heard this, and she exclaimed with a shocked face, "Doesn't that mean that the cosmic zerg is not an ordinary alien creature at all, but an offensive and dangerous creature that can threaten the immigration ship!?" ”
If that was the case, it would be even more difficult for her to imagine the origin of the crystals on the earrings that she had passed down from her mother's hand.
"You're only half right." Zhong Tu shook his head and smiled as he handed back the earrings.
"What do you mean?" Shirley Lou took the earring, puzzled.
"Vargula are not dangerous or aggressive, so to speak, as long as you don't provoke them, they will live their lives like bees." Zhong Tu used a more vivid metaphor to compare.
"And what happened yesterday?"
"Naturally, it's because someone provoked them."
"You mean the upper echelons of Frontier?" Shirley Lou frowned.
"On the contrary, it's another group of people. And one of them is still familiar to you. ”
"You don't mean that...... Grace bar. Shirley said incredulously with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Yes." Zhong Tu affirmed.
"This ......"
"This still has to start with the 117th Investigation Mission, from the Type V infection project." Zhong Tu smiled, patted his position next to him again and motioned for Shirley Lu to sit down, and then sorted out the language a little and told all the reasons.
Around the year 2040 of the Macross World, the 117th Survey Ship discovered the existence of Vacura in space. The two sides then made contact, and took great pains to capture a specimen of a Waguela and bring it back to the ship for study.
Subsequently, the source of the type V infection was identified and identified as all of the Vacura. The formation of Mayo Nome's research team was announced, and Grace O'Connor and Lanxue Mei joined the Infectious Disease V project team, becoming two of the three giants of the research group.
However, disagreements have also arisen in the course of more and more in-depth research. Lanxue Mei tends to protect Wacura and communicate with them. Grace prefers to take advantage of, especially in combination with the foreign body implantation technique that she is good at, to completely replace it, so as to use the Wattula worm itself to achieve some kind of purpose.
However, this proposal was not approved by Mao Noem and was therefore shelved indefinitely.
Then, in the process, Orchid Mei, also known as Orchid Lee's mother, contracted Type V infection due to prolonged contact with the Waguela specimen, and unknowingly completed the delivery of Orchid Lee.
As a result of this, Orchid Lee has the ability to empathize with Varguera, and during a picnic with her mother and brother, she attracts a swarm of Wattula who come to her rescue, destroying Investigation Team 117.
