In the Stargate universe, Qianyi, who hangs high in the universe, has become a veritable sun, and a celestial body similar to an asteroid belt is coiled around the space of 8 astronomical units away from her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is an asteroid belt composed of countless crystalline colloids, the largest colloidal mass is thicker than the diameter of Ceres, and the length reaches a terrifying tens of thousands of kilometers, from a distance, the asteroid belt as a whole looks like a petrified and cracked giant snake, with a total length of more than 100,000 kilometers.

This is the trace left by the previous short decisive battle, the section of the Super Horse whip that was blown up was left here, its significance is not only for future generations to hang, now it has become the forward position of the Star Alliance Space Force and the Younas fleet, and was named "Squid Tail Belt" by Xia Ming.

About 1.2 million kilometers away from the longitudinal axis of the squid tail belt is where the original Mart Ball biological planetary remains are located, and now it is replaced by a biological planet that is more than ten times larger than the size, which is essentially coiled by the ultra-Matt whip, covering it in the depths through the entrance of this universe.

Eight months ago, the Ultra Marther Whip invaded, and the Star Federation and Younas poured out of the nest to meet the attack with a decisive heart, relying on the sacrifice of the Younas fleet again, blowing off the front end of its tentacles, forcing it to retreat to the entrance that looked like a black hole, and shielding the entrance.

If there is the slightest possibility, Xia Ming will take advantage of the victory to chase and completely drive the Super Horse Whip out of this universe. But in this decisive battle, not only did Younas's twenty motherships become bombs, but the Star Alliance Space Force also suffered heavy casualties. After the super horse whip contracted, countless biochemical fighters were released, if it wasn't for Xia Ming gathering the remnants in time and retreating with dimensional jumps, I am afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out.

Xia Ming only took a breath, packed up the wounded, and led the team to jump over on the third day. He discovered that the Whip had split into thinner branches, and tried to connect the severed limbs, which seemed to make up a significant proportion of the total mass of the Whip, and it was unwilling to give it up easily.

The four Younas motherships under maintenance carried hydrogen bombs with a total yield of more than one billion tons, and once again repelled the Super Mart's whip with a suicide attack, relying on the data obtained by Chiyan in the previous battle, the Star Alliance's warships were finally able to calmly deal with the Ultra Mate fighters. The other side does not seem to have recovered from the last battle, and realizes that the huge body and the dense sea of fighters are excellent targets for nuclear bombs, and they no longer easily break through, and the two sides enter a state of confrontation.

The so-called "confrontation" is actually a self-consolation on the human side, if the Super Horse Whip continues to advance regardless of the cost, the power that Xia Ming has at that time is as weak as a layer of paper, and it can't withstand a blow at all.

It seems that Xia Ming's decision has had an effect, and he immediately tried his best to counterattack, so that the Super Horse Whip misjudged the resistance in this high-dimensional time and space. This is Xia Ming and Qianyi's home field, and the super horse whip is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of mastering information.

For nearly three months, Xia Ming and the Star Alliance fleet, as well as the remnants of the Younas fleet, played the role of paper tigers. As soon as the other side made a move, the whole army pressed on it, stubbornly defended the squid tail belt, and turned the 1.2 million kilometers of space between the two sides into a chaotic battlefield. It wasn't until Younas and the Star Alliance's replenishment forces were formed that there was room for breathing.

It's just three months of bluffing, but the price is extremely high. Hundreds of the surviving officers and soldiers of Younas fell into an eternal sleep after receiving the order "It's time to rest", their nerves had already collapsed, relying on a little weak consciousness activity, driving their brains and bodies like zombies, and the order to rest meant the end of their thinking for them. Even the officers and soldiers of the Star Alliance, whose consciousness activity is generally higher, have survived these three months, and more than a dozen people have become vegetative.

These three months are also the ultimate test of the Star Federation and even the entire human space industry, in the battlefield of the confrontation between the two sides, there are countless wrecks floating there, and most of the thousands of warships that the Star Federation has built in the past three months are buried here. Corresponding to this is the wreckage of hundreds of thousands of ultra-Mart biochemical fighters.

It's also a never-ending battlefield, and battles are happening all the time.

After another skirmish, a small fleet withdrew from the battlefield, dragging the scarred hull and carrying dead and wounded officers and men, into the No. 17 forward base in the Squid Tail Belt.

Inside the crystallized gelatin, which has solidified into a rock harder than rock, there are huge cabins, soldiers wearing blue or white tight space suits, robots carrying various materials are endless, and after several warships of this small fleet dock with the huge robotic arm, the medical robots that have been waiting in the docking hatch for a long time will transfer the wounded and corpses to the medical center.

At the entrance of the medical center of the No. 17 forward base, a young woman with chestnut hair and blue eyes and wearing a Starlink uniform was chatting with the person in charge of the base.

"Looks like we still have to thank this big guy, the tail it left behind, well, the tentacles, has become our source of supplies."

Lillo Lafontaine, executive member of the Starlink Management Committee, vice president of the Academy of Sciences, and director of the Medical Research Center, said in a serious and happy tone. Beside her was a new Matt being in a mechanical spacesuit, whining electronic tones that repeated her intonation.

"Without the technology of colloidal metamaterials developed by the Academy of Sciences, we can't do anything about this kind of gelatin. Now it's simple, using this gum to grow super-carbon materials, and then make the cabin and spaceship shell, plus the robot assembly line and 3D printer, from the shell of the battleship to the mechanical structure inside, and all kinds of components, we can already produce them ourselves. ”

The head of the person in charge turned the data with his head: "Last week our assembly plant produced 64000 missiles, 1220 sets of combat and engineering robots, and 12 warships. ”

"Right now, our production capacity is limited by chips, engines and shipboard weapons, and the robot system is expanding too fast, and there is a serious shortage of maintenance personnel."

The Star Alliance has established more than 40 such front-line bases in the Squid Tail Belt, integrating production and operations, and distributing them under the establishment of various war groups, relying on such a system to maintain the continuous war.

"I am not in charge of industrial issues, and I will not interfere with the Soviet Union in the military aspect...... General's authority, I'm here mainly to see if there is anything that can be improved in the medical system of the forward base......"

Lilo waved her hand to stop the director's report, emphasizing her intention, and just as she said this, New Matt Ball muttered to remind her that she saw a team of medical robots coming straight along the track to the medical center.

"It's another fierce battle......"

As soon as Lilo's mind pursued it for a while, the report of the battle was displayed in view.

On March 2, 2026, Valkyrie Squadron 092A conducted a joint daily patrol with Task Force Younaste.

Squadron 092A dispatched 5 Warhammer destroyers, 2 Morning Star assault ships and 2 female cicada destroyers. Task Force Younaste is a light mothership with forty fighters on board.

The patrol area is the area of large-scale engagement last week, and they encountered enemy forces recovering the wreckage brains of the Ultra Mart, which has a total of 7 bio-chemical warships and 224 bio-chemical fighters.

After calling for reinforcements, the small fleet defended on the spot, and the battle lasted for two and a half hours, when the other side sensed the arrival of reinforcements and took the initiative to retreat. Preliminary statistics destroyed 4 enemy warships, 168 warplanes.

6 warships were seriously damaged, and 21 fighters were lost, these numbers Lilo was not interested in, just like what the person in charge of the base said just now, as long as the supply of materials is guaranteed, such a loss, the front-line base will not frown.

What makes people frown are the casualties, seeing the figures of 11 pilots killed and 14 seriously wounded, 1 crew killed and 9 seriously wounded, Lillo smacked her tongue. This is just a small-scale battle that the squadron encounters every day, whether it is Younas or Star Alliance, such a human life consumption is really a bit terrifying.

"I'm going to take a look, and since I'm here, not a single seriously wounded person will be allowed to die," Lilo said to the head of the base.

The new Matt ball followed with a few ticks, and the light band in the middle of the mechanical ball spelled out a sentence in French: No death, the person in charge of the base smiled with relief.

At first glance, the main treatment area of the medical center looks similar to the crew bay of the Younas mothership, but it is larger, with rows of large drawers on the walls of the circular space, and the main robotic arm is working with medical robots to feed the wounded and corpses into the drawers. Neither their comrades-in-arms nor medical robots have the right to pronounce death, and it is up to GEI to make a final attempt to confirm whether they are dead.

In the observation room, separated by a glass wall, Lillo scanned the drawer. From the outside, the drawer is closed, but with her authority, which drawer she looks at, the situation in which drawer will appear in the field of vision, scaling and rotating as she wishes.

Robotic arms in drawers are busy, replacing front-line emergency measures to ensure proper blood and organ function. As long as the brain, heart and other vital points are not destroyed, and the person does not die on the spot, the medical measures in the cockpit of the battleship can make people live to the medical center for comprehensive treatment.

After this process is completed, the medical GEI begins to conduct a comprehensive examination and evaluation to confirm the treatment plan, which requires manual intervention. Liluo saw that in the surgery center next to her, several doctors were discussing, pointing from time to time, which was to adjust the plan in the virtual vision.

"Treatment Options for Extracting GEI......

Lilo's vision flashed one mannequin after another, marked with the current situation and the deduction of the treatment plan.

Several young soldiers entered the observation room and were surprised to see Lilo, but Lilo was busy, so they didn't dare to disturb, so they said hello to the new Matt ball next to Lilo.

"I'm Ma Gu Ling Fang 22k, hello everyone!"

The light strip of the new Matt ball shows this message in English and Chinese, "Maguling", written in English as "magolink". This is not the official scientific name of the new Matt ball, but the synonym given by Xiao Huan to this new life. When she was "adopting" the life of the new Matt ball, she casually mentioned the fantasy creature Moguli in an old game, saying: "Actually, it's quite similar, what new Matt ball is so ugly, I think it's better to call it Marguli." ”

The name quickly spread, and then Xia Ming adjusted it himself: "Add a link to the English name, and mark that the meaning of life of their race is realized by connecting with humans." ”

As a result, the new Matt ball life has a pronoun like "Ma Guling", and the new Matt ball life itself likes this name very much, and calls itself this way when it meets people.

The Ma Guling, named Fang 22k, continued to show with the light strip on his body: "You must be very anxious, don't worry, my master has promised that she will not allow a seriously wounded person to die." ”

Matching the information is also its ticking sound, synchronizing the tone of this sentence, I have to say that this way is very effective, just right to show Ma Guling's emotions.

The young lieutenant in his early twenties in the crowd nodded and said, "Thank you, so we're relieved." But...... If it really can't be rescued, we don't know about Younas's side, but the people of our squadron still hope that Ms. Lafontaine will respect their wishes. ”

Lilo turned her head to look at him, "Lieutenant, it seems you know something?" ”

"Yes, ma'am", the lieutenant was a little nervous, not the feeling of a small character facing a big person, but the topic was indeed heavy: "We know that you are presiding over a project called Warrior Resurrection, which is to crystallize the active parts of the deceased's brain, and then use autoclonal technology to proliferate the brain and restore the deceased's residual consciousness." Some people identify with such a resurrection, and some, like those in our squadron, do not identify with such a way. ”

"I hate a time when there are no secrets", Lillo smiled and asked again, "Why don't you agree?" Is it because you feel that the consciousness thus restored is essentially nothing more than the death of a new life, not the real self, or is it because this resurrection will lose the memory of the natural body, and the damaged body can only be replaced with a prosthetic body? ”

Her eyes blinked, and her face changed slightly: "I see your limbs...... It doesn't seem to be the latter reason. ”

The lieutenant said calmly, "I lost my limbs in the first battle eight months ago, and I didn't have enough time and resources to cultivate natural limbs at that time, so I used mechanical prosthetics. Thanks to Char Heavy Industries, it's very comfortable to use, and I don't even want to change back to natural limbs. ”

Lilo glanced at the others and found that many of them had used mechanical prostheses, and her heart was slightly gloomy and a little unwilling. For her, the abandonment of natural limbs by the wounded of the Star Alliance Space Force was a force and a defeat for medical experts, including her.

"Well, the resurrection of the warriors is not a mandatory measure, I will respect their personal wishes, but ......"

Liluo persuaded: "You people have not yet reached lv3, long-term use of mechanical prostheses will gradually replace the natural limb memory in the brain, and in the future, you will have to rebuild the natural limb, the recovery period will be longer, and it may even fail." If possible, I recommend that you return to the rear as soon as possible to develop your natural limbs. ”

"Thank you, Lady Lafontaine!"

In the crowd, the lively girl finally couldn't help but interject, and the sleeve of her left forearm had a blue circuit pattern, which was the identification of a mechanical prosthetic.

The girl waved her mechanical arm and said, "This arm of mine has been reloaded twice, and as long as I am still fighting, my body will naturally be injured." It takes a long time to cultivate natural limbs, and if you go to the battlefield again, it will break down, and it really hurts, so it's better to use prosthetics all the time. ”

Ma Gu Lingfang 22k ticked for a while, the girl looked at the text on its light band, and said with a smile: "You know a lot, spouse...... Maybe there will be disgust, but if it's like me, it's fine. ”

As she spoke, the mechanical arm hugged the lieutenant's arm, and the lieutenant looked at her helplessly, with a hint of pampering in his eyes, it was obvious that this was a couple.

Liluo said with emotion: "Sure enough, only war can make human beings change so quickly." ”

"Actually, there is another reason that is also important."

The lieutenant smiled, "Our war commander is also using prosthetics." ”

“little-su……”

Speaking of Su Yu, Liluo was even more emotional.

8 months ago, Xia Ming led the team back to the battlefield to prevent the Super Horse Whip from rebuilding contact with the severed body, in the fierce battle, Xia Ming's Golden Crow became the target of the Ultra Mart's biochemical fighters, and the Star Alliance warships desperately rescued, and many warships used themselves as a barrier for the Golden Crow to block the enemy's artillery fire, including Su Yu's ship.

Liluo still remembers it vividly, after the battle, Xia Ming led the team to jump back to the Siyuan space station, personally carried Su Yu to the operating table, and said to Xiaotang and her, who came in a hurry, that Su Yu must be saved.

Seeing Su Yu's situation, she and Xiaotang couldn't speak for a while. Half of the body was blurred with flesh and blood, eroded organs, muscles, and broken bones mixed together, a small part of the skull had been cut off, and the left ear, eye, and even a small part of the brain tissue were missing.

Su Yu relied on the consciousness activity close to LV5, and broke free from the shackles of death through cell autointegration and surgery. On the pretext that the war situation was urgent and she didn't have time to cultivate her natural limbs, her left leg and left arm were replaced with mechanical prostheses, and her left eye and even the left side of her face were replaced with biochemical materials.

I have to say that the officers and soldiers of the Star Alliance and even Younas are willing to accept the mechanical prosthesis, and to a large extent, there is Su Yu as an example.

"She's very conscious, and she can be replaced back to her natural limbs at any time, and you're not like her."

Seeing the indifference in the eyes of these young people, Lillo swallowed the words back, for them, the mechanical prosthetic body was more like their memory of the war, and it was more of a reminder of the fact that they were still alive.

"Yes, many of us are post-10s, Fang 22k, where are you watching the news? What post-90s and post-00s things can't be applied to us at all. It feels like you're from the older generation, and you're so old-fashioned. ”

The girl chatted with Fang 22k, Ma Guling has been opened to everyone for cultivation, and the girl probably has the idea of adopting a Ma Guling, and is very curious about it. didn't notice that these words made Liluo grit her teeth secretly, Fang 22k was raised by her, is this saying that she is already an old woman far behind the times?

"With the increasing development of the Internet of Stars and the Internet of Stars, people live in the digital world and pay more and more attention to themselves. Since the post-90s and post-00s generation, people have become more and more independent and self-respecting, and life has become more and more precious. ”

"In this era, young people are keen to immerse themselves in digital and virtual social and entertainment, and they are exposed to and experience new feelings every day, they are like elves wandering in the wind, and they do not want to stop for a moment."

"It's really hard to understand that they want to abandon this kind of freedom, throw themselves into the big millstone of war, treat life like a limited card in the game, and lose it is only a small regret."

Fang 22k poured out its doubts, everyone subconsciously looked at Liluo, Liluo helplessly hid her face and sighed, make a fool of yourself.

The "cultivation" of Ma Guling does not mean that they are their nannies, their physical growth is the responsibility of the Biological Center of the Academy of Sciences, and the psychological growth, because they are real intelligent beings, if they are instilled by intelligence, it is contrary to the nature of natural intelligent life, and there will be distortions in the future.

Therefore, Xiaotang's cultivation plan is to connect the margulin with a person's pei through a neural interface. Let this person's words and deeds affect Ma Guling, which is different from Pei's will mapping, but the guidance of thinking patterns and even three views.

Therefore, what kind of character a person has, the Ma Guling he cultivates is probably similar. Fang 22k behaves like an old-fashioned sociologist, naturally from Lilo's influence.

The lieutenant sighed: "I really can't imagine that a Ma Guling knows more about human beings than we do. ”

The girl also nodded again and again, patted the square 22k round ball spacesuit affectionately, and replied to it: "There is nothing incomprehensible about this, we are new human beings, and our consciousness activity is much higher than that of mortals, which makes us understand the meaning of life more deeply." When necessary, dedicate our lives to something very meaningful, and our lives will have an answer, a very valuable answer. ”

"It's like you Magulin was created, and from that point of view, we're actually the same."

The young soldiers all nodded silently, and the lieutenant rubbed the girl's hair, his face full of happiness and pride.

Lilo was about to say something when a message unfolded in his vision, a seriously wounded member of the squadron had been declared dead, and GEI communicated with his pei to confirm that he was unwilling to accept the Warrior's resurrection plan.

The resurrection of a warrior is not the death of a new life, but just like the previous head replacement surgery done by humans, the brain is reactivated after being frozen, and the re-emergence of consciousness, whether it is still the person or not, is still a philosophical question. Probably only when the consciousness is active at the level of Xia Ming can it be possible to contact the truth.

This is also the reason why many people are reluctant to accept the warrior resurrection plan, not only the success rate is low, I don't know if it is me when I come back to life, but also except for the brain, other parts of the body have to be replaced with prosthetics, such a future, not many people are willing to face it.

"Lady's ......"

The lieutenant and the others had also received the news, and they looked at Lilo with some apprehension.

With Lillo's authority, she wants to force the plan to be carried out, and no one can stop it, and no one will even know. Moreover, since the person has died, the Warrior Resurrection Project is a medical trial project, and the donation of the body for medical experiments has been signed by every member of the Star Alliance, and the PEI statement of the deceased has no legal effect now, so it is completely okay to ignore such a wish.

Lillo pondered for a moment and smiled at them, "Don't worry, we won't deprive everyone of their right to die until we find a more reliable and trustworthy way to save it." (To be continued.) )
