Three days later.

In an area 1,000 meters deep underground on the plateau in western China, a secret wartime science and technology research center covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers is heavily guarded, and a large number of heavy equipment and special forces personnel are guarding the entrance with live ammunition.

In addition to strict security screening procedures for entry and exit, special identification verification is required.

The building structure of the wartime research center is also the highest level of defense.

The top is covered with 200 meters of high-strength concrete, and underneath the concrete, the walls of the high-strength steel structure are 50 meters thick, built to withstand the bombardment of tens of millions of tons of TNT-equivalent hydrogen bombs.

The research center is brightly lit.

Thousands of large laboratories are operating at full capacity at the same time, and nearly 100,000 researchers in white dust suits are busy in front of various monitoring instruments.

The laboratories are filled with various instruments and equipment, and the holographic screens of various monitoring devices are flashing with different pictures and data, and it is obvious that different scientific research experiments are being carried out.

In front of the large holographic screen in the main control center of one of the laboratories, hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring intently at the big screen.

On the big screen, more than a dozen staff members wearing dustproof suits are holding various instruments in their hands, carefully testing something on a black boundless spaceship, for fear of making some movement.

Judging from the appearance of the pentagon spaceship, it is one of the pentagonal spaceships that the Maltese invaded the earth.

In another laboratory of the wartime research center, dozens of researchers who also looked like doctors were intently examining something.

The lab is full of flashing high indicators and monitoring screens of medical laboratory equipment, and it looks a lot like a biochemical laboratory.

On the dissecting table in the lab, researchers in doctor's attire examine the corpse of a strange spacesuit with a pair of horse ears on its head, which hangs listlessly on its head.

The corpse's fanged mouth was wide open, its eyes were wide open, and its face retained a look of disbelief and horror, apparently something that had happened before it died.

The corpse's scaly gray skin shrank slightly, and a jet-black bone spur tail was pulled out of the buttocks and placed on the edge of the dissecting table.

This creature looks familiar, it turns out to be the corpse of a Maltese pilot!

It is clear that the Maltese corpses in this lab, as well as the pentagonal ships in the other lab, are derived from the real Centauri Maltese Pentagon fleet.

It seems that the Chinese military has not only obtained a small Maltese spaceship, but also brought back the body of the Maltese pilot, apparently to conduct a careful study.

Whether it is a pentagonal spaceship or the corpse of a Maltese pilot, it is of great scientific value to the wartime research center.

At present, the Maltese fleet is almost invincible on Earth, and its technological development is beyond the reach of Earth.

In this case, bringing in the Maltese spaceship and corpses for research, whether it is figuring out the composition of the materials made of the Maltese spaceship, the internal structure of the spaceship, the principle of weapons, or studying the physiology of the Maltese, is of great help to the Earth side.

In another lounge of the underground wartime research center, Yang Yi rested calmly on a bed.

This is the most relaxing day since Yang Yi returned to Earth.

Since the somersault woke up early during its voyage to Proxima centauri and was attacked in space, Yang Yi's nerves have been tense all the time, facing all kinds of attacks and pursuits from the Maltese.

Yang Yi hadn't slept peacefully for a long time.

Although Yang Yi's body at this time is very different from ordinary people because of genetic enhancement and mysterious energy in his body, and not sleeping well seems to be a big deal, the inner uneasiness and anxiety torture Yang Yi makes Yang Yi's heart more tired than his body.

However, since the People's Liberation Army sent underground submarines to support and evacuate from the battlefield with hundreds of other mutants three days ago, Yang Yi and other mutants have already connected with the military.

General Liu Hong, commander of the theater, personally met with Yang Yi and the 340 mutants who had been evacuated from the battlefield.

Under the introduction of Commander Liu Hong, Yang Yi and the other mutants finally had a general understanding of the situation of the Chinese army in this war.

The total number of Chinese troops has lost nearly half, and the entire territory has lost air and sea supremacy.

The heaviest losses were suffered by the Navy, and most of the seven hundred surface fleets, led by fifteen fusion-propelled aircraft carriers, were sunk by Maltese weapons, due to the inability of surface ships to conceal.

Fortunately, however, after discovering that human weapons could not deal with the Maltese spacecraft, the Central Military Commission's operational command center promptly ordered a group of 200 nuclear fusion-propelled submarines to dive into a wartime concealed base built at a depth of 10,000 meters under the sea in the South China Sea, so that the navy could retain the power to counterattack.

The Aerospace Forces and the Army have retained relatively more forces because they have built underground concealed military bases in various theaters, but they have almost given up control of major cities and have all switched to underground base activities.

The Rocket Force and the Strategic Support Force also retained a large number of formed forces, and the loss of personnel and equipment was about one-third.

The total number of troops retained in the Chinese army is about 700,000, roughly half of what it was before the war.

The good news is that the state apparatus is still functioning effectively thanks to the rapid evacuation and the entry of other key government departments and personnel outside the military into underground bases.

Commander Liu Hong also briefed Yang Yi and others on the war situation in other countries around the world, and the situation on different continents varies.

Europe has only 31 troops left, the Americas have lost about 60 percent, Russia has lost 70 percent, Africa has no formed troops to maintain, and Oceania and Antarctica retain tens of thousands of resistance troops.

According to the latest war reports of various countries, the total number of troops retained in the world is about 4 million.

Commander Liu Hong conveyed the order of the head of the Central Military Commission to Yang Yi and others, preparing to form the first synthetic combat brigade composed of mutants and humans on the basis of the theater special operations brigade.

And ask for everyone's opinion if they are willing to join this newly formed unit.

The mutants present were already homeless, and most of them were sworn in to join the newly formed synthetic brigade on the spot. Only a few people wanted to return to their own country to fight in the army, and asked the Chinese army to send them back to China at an opportune time, and these people's requests were also approved by Commander Liu.

Commander Liu Hong also announced a special decision of the Central Military Commission to give all the evacuated mutants half a year to recuperate, and then report to the newly formed troops, and confer the title of combat vanguard on all mutants.

After the interview, the mutants, together with the Maltese spacecraft and the pilot's corpse captured by the underground submarine on the battlefield, were sent by the underground submarine to this secret military wartime research center that also has research and recuperation, for rest and recovery treatment.

After the other mutants were sent away, Commander Liu motioned for Yang Yi and Han Weiwei to stay, and asked Yang Yi for his opinion on the candidate for the commander of the newly formed synthetic author brigade, and hoped that Yang Yi would be the commander of the synthetic combat brigade, but Yang Yi smiled and politely refused.

The reason why Yang Yi did not hold this important post was, on the one hand, that he had not undergone systematic military command training and could not effectively command this unit that shouldered the special mission of mankind.

On the other hand, Yang Yi believes that as an ordinary soldier in the synthetic brigade, he can better reflect his expertise by directly rushing to the front line to fight with the Maltese.

Of course, Commander Liu Hong did not force it, seeing that Yang Yi had a resolute attitude and had no intention of commanding the newly formed troops, not only did he have no prejudice against Yang Yi, but also expressed his admiration for Yang Yi's willingness to be an ordinary soldier and rush to the front line of battle.

Yang Yi is still sleeping sweetly, in this normal period of Maltese invasion, being able to sleep peacefully has become a luxury for the earthlings living under the iron hooves of the Maltese pentagonal fleet.
