Chapter 113: Return to Beijing
In the afternoon of the same day, Luoyang said goodbye to Ning Bei, left Lingzhu Temple, and followed Xu Kui to the Gyeonggi Special Economic Zone on a special plane from the military. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The pick-up was a Dongfeng warrior wearing armor and a radar on the roof.
Sitting next to him were two armed soldiers like iron cans, they were wearing the newly developed God of War mecha, which was much worse than what Luoyang expected, that is, the heavy alloy outer armor was added to a pair of endoskeleton power plants, and the weapon configuration was two Red Arrow 9 modified missiles, as well as a 25 mm caliber single-barreled machine gun, the firepower was up to standard, and on the premise of being able to hit, it could easily kill the awakened, but the mobility was still lacking.
The interior space of Dongfeng Mengshi was originally quite spacious, but after stuffing these two iron cans, it became crowded.
This scene reminded Luoyang of when Liu Hong picked him up from the Tsinghua University classroom last year, and it was almost this battle.
Through the narrow gap between the tin cans and the car windows, Luoyang saw that the streets of the Special Economic Zone were already in the summer season, and they were extremely deserted, as if they had returned to the end of the 80s of the last century, when the number of private cars dropped sharply. There are only a few buses running on the road, so the traffic is very smooth. There weren't many pedestrians on the sidewalks either, and most of them looked hurried. Every time you walk you have to make a big circle, because there are many new reinforced concrete bunkers along the roadside, which are distributed in a density similar to the previous public telephone booths.
"The SAR is also under martial law?" Luo Yang asked casually.
Xu Kui, who was sitting in the front seat of the co-pilot, turned around and said: "Yes, not only is martial law suspended, but three group armies have also been transferred in, and now it is claimed to be conducting urban defense exercises." ”
"The predictions made by experts from the two academies on the Roselle crisis have not been made public, right?" Luoyang asked.
"Not yet, for fear of causing social panic." Xu Kui replied.
"If a cataclysm happens, it is not only the government and the military that need to face the crisis, but also the entire population, and if the people are not prepared, the situation may be very bad." Luoyang said.
"This kind of thing is not in a hurry, I am used to living a peaceful life, the sky suddenly fell, no one can say what will happen, step by step, the country is now gradually strengthening social control, the financial market is gradually shrinking, preventing international capital from taking advantage of the chaos, energy reserves are also secretly carried out...... When everything is ready, let's make it public...... Perhaps during this time, the source of the crisis has been eliminated, after all, the mecha army already has combat effectiveness. Xu Kui said with a smile.
"You're thinking too optimistic, the mutant biological attack in Vietnam proves that the three experimental subjects have the ability to transform the same kind, this crisis is not in the embryonic stage, but has entered the stage of branching out, how to eliminate it?"
"Mecha Army? With all due respect, with the mobility of the God of War mecha, you can only defend passively, and it is completely impossible to take the initiative to attack and go deep into the complex terrain to eliminate the three test subjects. ”
"What's more, now I don't even know where the three test subjects are, just a white cicada swaggering through the market, still can't rush in and kill, if you want to eliminate the source of this crisis, let me give a pertinent suggestion, take a nuclear bomb to wash the ground, wash the four southwestern provinces and several countries bordering the south, maybe there is a glimmer of chance."
Due to the death of his mentor Xu Ping, Luoyang is not in a very good mood now, and he poured cold water on Xu Kui one after another to vent the resentment in his heart.
"At this point, what else can be done but to be optimistic?" Xu Kui is really extremely optimistic, and he is not angry, and he said to Luoyang with a smile.
"I only hope that the Roselle project can overcome the problem of gene transplant mortality as soon as possible, and then carry out national promotion, so that the individual ability of human beings and mutant organisms can reach a balance point, only in this way can human beings grasp the initiative in the upcoming crisis, otherwise they can only passively defend, and then be eaten away by the tide of mutant beasts little by little, and gradually go to extinction." After Luoyang was silent for a moment, he regrouped his mood, stopped saying meaningless cool words, and became serious: "The topic of 'artificial aura' should also invest heavily in manpower and funds, and start researching, once the national evolution is started, the earth's magnetic field energy is simply not enough for more than a billion people to use, this problem is not solved, even if the whole people complete genetic remodeling, the evolution process will be limited." ”
"After getting the information you provided, the expert team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has already started researching, the project code name' The magnetic pole array of the generator is more than 70 kilometers long, which is equivalent to a circle around the five rings of the Gyeonggi Special Economic Zone, and the construction volume is larger than the large hadron collider of the European Atomic Energy Agency, and it will not be completed for a while and a half, and the power consumption is also a problem, with a power of up to 10,000 megawatts, equivalent to two-thirds of the installed capacity of the Three Gorges. Xu Kui said with a wry smile, obviously the progress of this project is not very smooth.
After chatting for a while, Dongfeng Warrior drove into an old-fashioned community with extremely tight security.
Barbed wire and high-voltage lines were pulled on the fence, several layers of checkpoints were set up at the door, and even the vehicles in Luoyang were checked before they were released.
This community is backed by Tsinghua Park, is the residence of the faculty and staff of Tsinghua University, Luoyang's previous house is also rented in this community, the first floor of Yude Building in the southeast corner of the community, a small suite with very bad lighting.
His tutor Xu Ping lives upstairs from him, with a gap between them, and after graduation and staying in school, the two often communicate with each other, and his wife is also Shen Jingshu is a very kind old lady, and every New Year's holiday, he has to call him to eat at home.
Thinking of those old things, Luoyang couldn't help but have a sour nose.
So much so that Xu Kui opened the car door for him from the outside, but he didn't remember to get out of the car, and still sat in his seat.
"What's wrong?" Xu Kui saw Luoyang's eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was stunned, and couldn't help but ask.
Luoyang came back to his senses, pointed to the small window next to the corridor that was pressed by the protective railing, and asked, "Do you know that I used to live here?" ”
"I've heard of it, and I also know your relationship with Professor Xu Ping." Xu Kui's voice was low, and then he comforted: "But you also want to open some, people can't be resurrected after death, and the most important thing now is to eradicate the murderer to avoid this kind of tragedy from happening again." ”
Luoyang grasped the fist and relaxed, went back and forth several times, calmed down, and then got out of the car with the alloy lockbox he carried.
"By the way, Mrs. Shen Jingshu still doesn't know the truth about Professor Xu Ping's death, firstly, out of the need for confidentiality, this matter should not be made public, otherwise it will cause panic in the social and scientific circles, and secondly, she is old, and she is worried that she will not be able to accept the truth of the matter, so the cause of death given by the hospital is respiratory failure caused by viral pneumonia, you can just look at the scene later, don't say more, and he can't recognize you now." When going upstairs, Xu Kui reminded behind Luoyang.
Luoyang nodded, without saying a word, he walked in front of Xu Kui, this section of the road, he was more familiar than Xu Kui.
At the door of Room 301, there were two mecha soldiers who looked like ancient military generals, unarmed with cannons and missiles, holding a long knife in both hands, with the tip of the knife on the ground, standing in a straddling position.
Compared with the God of War mecha that is as bloated as a tin can, the mecha on the two of them is obviously much thinner.
But the defensive performance should not be weak, looking at the color and texture of its breastplate, it should use the latest silicon carbide ceramic armor, and the joints are made of composite materials, which shows that this mecha is far stronger than the God of War in terms of mobility.
However, what interests Luoyang the most is the two mecha warriors themselves, their electromagnetic characteristics are very strong, although they cannot be compared with the awakened, but they are several times more than normal people, and their physique is very strange.
"This is the God of War II mecha, which is much more mobile than the Type 1 mecha, but due to some technical shortcomings, it cannot be equipped on a large scale." Seeing that Luoyang was interested in these two mechas, Xu Kui introduced on the side.
"What flaw?" Luo Yang asked casually, his attention still focused on the two fighters.
Although their electromagnetic signatures are strong, they do not interact with the natural magnetic field, which means that they do not absorb energy from the Earth's magnetism.
"In order to pursue mobility, the God of War II mecha has greatly reduced its size, and the battery volume has also been reduced, so the endurance of the II mecha is much worse than that of the first mecha, and due to the unqualified shock absorption technology, strong mobility will bring more impact to the mecha driver, just like the scene of the car accident, so the pilot selection of the God of War II mecha is stricter than the selection of fighter pilots, to be honest, the human physique can not withstand it at all." Xu Kui said.
"So you've got such a bunch of freaks?" Luo Yang frowned and asked.
Xu Kui said: "This is the 'natural selection' project team to splice animal gene fragments into human genes, so that people can obtain part of the ability of animals, although animals are inferior to humans in terms of intelligence, but in some aspects far better than humans, especially reflected in muscle fiber strength, bone density." On the other hand, the gene chain of animals is much simpler than that of humans, and it is more difficult to analyze and screen out the fragments that carry information more accurately, so the state has also invested a lot of money in this project, and it has achieved initial results, and the pilots of the second type of mecha are implanted with the genes of the Siberian tiger, and its physical strength is two to three times the limit of human beings......"
"It's just genetically modified technology, don't say it's so complicated, I'm not very optimistic about this project, although the Roselle project is also the use of genetically modified technology in the final analysis, but Roselle and human appearance are the same, to some extent, there is a blood relationship, and the Roselle gene is superior to human genes, human implantation of Roselle genes, that is water flowing to a high place, but implanting low-grade animal genes What's the matter, turning people into nondescript shemales?" Luoyang waved his hand and interrupted Xu Kui's introduction.
Xu Kui was a little embarrassed: "The gene fragments implanted into the human body are all screened and only contain specific information, and will not be mixed with other ......"
"Before cracking the gene source code, who can guarantee that the gene fragment does not contain any other information?" Luoyang interrupted Xu Kui again: "I personally suggest that this project be terminated." ”
"I will report your recommendations to the Minister and the Committee...... The fighters were genetically modified voluntarily, and so far, there have been no adverse reactions. ”
Luoyang ignored Xu Kui and stepped forward and knocked on the door.
