Chapter 520: Situation Analysis
You know, these humans have indeed been subjected to some kind of strange loading by Ceph, so that they can temporarily withstand the test of "cold energy", and can survive in the cold energy environment as if nothing happened.
However, this does not mean that energy can be absorbed from cold food, nor does it mean that cold energy can be absorbed. After all, it is the environment in which different civilizations live, and human beings generally cannot survive in "cold energy", but these Cephs can survive in an environment above absolute zero, and can even withstand a certain degree of high temperature, and their racial advantage is really great.
So the aliens carried out this kind of processing, so that they humans could use silk plants to absorb energy, so that their experimental subjects would not starve to death.
But is it really edible to eat something like this?
Ike stared blankly at the large pile of silky plants placed in front of him, huddled together as large as the heads of two people. The silky plant had a suspicious translucent blue color and seemed to be still quivering, making it look so unappetizing.
At this moment, the people around him had already picked up these silk-like plants and ate them. They eat directly with their hands, of course, their hands are sterilized, and the vehicles are loaded with tools for sterilization. However, aliens basically don't need such things, they are specially developed to provide humans.
Regardless of technological means, human beings are too fragile to adapt to the harsh environment from the perspective of individual living beings. The vitality of individual humans is also a whole notch lower than that of the Cephs. Don't look at the translucent Ceph people who float in translucent liquids all day long, they look crystal clear, as fragile as glass, and the shattered death method after death is really like glass. But in fact, they are very resistant to damage. However, compared with the Predator, the single Ceph is still a whole grade lower, but the heavy artillery Ceph can be completely abused.
Everyone, including Rezenov, was relishing these silky plants that looked like jellyfish silk, and at this time, Ike also felt empty in his stomach. There was even a chirp.
He was really hungry, and two months had passed since the previous experiment. During this period, he was only injected with nutrient solution by aliens to ensure that the living body would not die of lack of energy, and he did not eat anything at all. Now that he saw the food sent by the Ceph man, he didn't care if there was anything wrong with it, and Rezenov and the others must have eaten it for a long time.
So Ike didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one. After disinfecting your hands. He also grabbed the silky plant with his hand. Although he was separated by a layer of nano biochemical suits, his skin naturally came into contact with him because the biochemical suits had cracked a lot.
This was the first time Ike had come into contact with such a bizarre plant, and its exterior gave it a very cold touch. This kind of cold is the "cold energy" below absolute zero, which could have killed humans directly, but due to Ceph's methods, it only gives people this feeling for the time being.
This tactile sensation invigorates the spirit, as if a dizzy person suddenly steps his feet into a cold stream between mountain streams. And felt a cool wind blowing like that. With this feeling in mind, Ike also sent the silky object into his mouth.
It's cold though. But the silk didn't melt in your mouth, but was very chewy like beef tendon, and Ike chewed it vigorously and found that it was okay except that it felt cold and tasteless. As for the lack of taste, there is still a little bit of it, just like the taste of the juice with a small amount of popsicles.
It's passable.
Ike felt that the food was okay, with an amazing amount of food and he had invaded zoos and nature reserves many times to catch animals to eat, he also liked to eat delicious things, and it was obviously the time to taste it slowly.
Because he is in Ceph's cage, he has no clue about escaping for the time being, and there are no materials to make munitions, and he can't even show his space backpack, so Ike is still very idle now.
This kind of leisure is very rare, and it seems to be the first time since childhood, although it was forced to be given to them by the Ceph people who wanted to wage war against humanity. So Ike also experienced this leisure, enjoying the food that tasted okay in the leisure.
For the first time, this time he did not overeat, but ate slowly, and if he didn't grasp it with his hands, it would even give people a sense of elegance. If Ovsky and the others saw this scene, they would definitely be very surprised.
On the other hand, Rezenov and others, the appearance of eating is indescribable. One by one, they kept holding the food and sending it to their mouths, so fast that they all produced afterimages, giving people the illusion of the hand speed of an ace driver. Except for Tara. Aside from Strykrand's normal, their eating was already indecent.
By the time Ike hadn't eaten a third of the way, the others had already eaten everyone's food. And after eating the cold silk bush food, all of their eyes fell on Ike, and stared at the food in front of him.
In an instant, Ike felt dozens of hungry wolf-like lines of sight fall on him, so he involuntarily accelerated the speed of eating. The speed of the hand increased instantly, and all the food was quickly swept away, even faster than everyone before, and some people were dumbfounded.
"So, they don't always provide enough food." After eating the food, Ike wiped his mouth very dryly, and then asked the people around him expressionlessly, with an indifferent expression.
"That's right, they are grossly underfed in food, so every time I finish eating, I feel extremely hungry." Dominic. Lockhart frowned, and said in a hoarse voice, "I remember that my entire formation of those training was destroyed by Ceph. ”
Lockhart is an interstellar pirate, and he is a well-known pirate. However, during a cruise, he was defeated by Ceph in an alien galaxy with only a small fleet of warships, and a large amount of his technology was obtained by Ceph for research, and he, as the supreme leader, was also captured.
Among the group of people present, they all have a more or less significant position, and the Ceph people not only use them for experiments, but also seem to use them as some kind of bargaining chips against certain forces.
However, this kind of bargaining chip has not yet surfaced and been used, and in fact the Cephs have been plotting how to attack the galaxy and have begun to show their prominence.
In such a situation, they will definitely be easy to leave clues. And such clues are not so easy for the state apparatus to find them, but it is not so difficult to do so. If the EU and the United States don't know this information, Ike still believes it, but if Zoomlion doesn't know, then it won't.
Zoomlion's intelligence system is not covered, and the Strategic Fooling Bureau, in particular, plays an extremely important role in it. However, although Zoomlion has some news of Ceph's imminent invasion, it has been hidden and has not made any movement.
Through this incident, Ike saw the dark side of some people.
There is an old Chinese saying that you make a lot of money by muffling your voice, and although the military of the Central Union has noticed this information, it has not "made a big news", but has deeply concealed it, so that other forces are likely not aware of it. Obviously, Zoomlion wants to use Ceph's upcoming invasion of humanity to carry out a new round of reshuffling of human forces.
Ideally, Zoomlion would take the opportunity to annex the European Union and the United States, and lead most of humanity to defeat Ceph, and then lead all humanity to develop stronger. However, this is obviously unrealistic, the footprint of the European Union and the United States is distributed in many star systems and is difficult to find, not to mention, if Ceph were to go to war with humans, it would be a world war.
At that time, almost the entire galaxy will be plunged into a catastrophe, and this will be an inevitable catastrophe, and humanity will be severely damaged even if it outwins Ceph.
Because Ceph's civilization and human civilization are completely incompatible, if the previous method of Zhonglian was exempted from a war with the people of the Predator through negotiation with the Predators, then now this method is simply not feasible.
This war is inevitable, and I believe that Zoomlion has been preparing for it for a long time, just like Ceph now. As for the United States and the European Union, I don't know if they know about the news, but at least they should smell the slightest wind that something is wrong, so they should also make some preparations, but this preparation is not enough.
With his mind racing in an instant, Ike quickly analyzed all the situations and came up with the most likely outcome of Ceph's invasion. It will be a protracted war, and it will be a protracted war, and it will be a very devastating protracted war.
If a war breaks out between two races in the universe, such a fourth world war will be very tragic, and at least half of the civilization will be destroyed.
As a member of the human race, Ike and the others have a responsibility to prevent this catastrophe, but in fact, they can't stop it. According to Rezenov, Ceph seems to have sensed almost mastered humanity and is ready to go to war.
Half a year at the least, a year at the most, and the war will begin. And at that time, these people will be used as bargaining chips. (To be continued......)
