The research on the use of hedron energy has reached an unprecedented height. The main source of technology is, of course, the information brought by Chen Jing's team from Earth. Due to the difference in material density between the Red Dragon Planet and the Earth, a small, high-power engine has been put into practical use on the Red Dragon Planet. For example, the power of the outfit can increase the user's strength by more than four times the normal value. This means that heavy weapons, which could not be carried by manpower, can become ordinary and flexible individual weapons.

The same 30mm cannon, the difference in power between the Earth product and the Red Dragon Planet product is huge. This is due to the density and pressure of matter on different planets.

Whether it is weapons or power systems, hedron has replaced the traditional oil, coal and nuclear energy, becoming the most important and irreplaceable power core. In particular, the successful development of the spar warhead has also opened up another way for the use of spar. In the central mountain range, Su Hao saw with his own eyes the power of the spar warhead. It was just a low-power warhead with hedron fragments as the main material. If it is a high-purity warhead polished with a whole spar, the power will be even more terrifying.

On the Red Dragon Planet, hedron sources can only be obtained from mutants. Su Hao has ruled here for more than a hundred years, and has never discovered a second way of source of spar. That's why Saka the Ripper must live.

For the cultivation of mutants, the Imperial Academy of Sciences already has a set of detailed operational procedures. From more than a hundred years ago, when Su Hao ordered the construction of two major military fortresses to completely blockade the Central Mountain Range, the Imperial Academy of Sciences captured as many as hundreds of mutants, and based on this, they were used as a basis to breed in a control area designated by the military as a special land. Over the decades, the number of mutant people has exceeded 20,000. In order to maximize the acquisition of hedrons, the Academy of Sciences divides all mutants into regions with different reproductive methods. The feeding structure coexists in a variety of ways, such as meat, vegetarian, natural, and captive. The results showed that there was little difference between wild and captive, and adding a certain proportion of vegetarian food to meat was also acceptable to mutant people, and even preferred this kind of vegetarian recipe.

Fifty years ago, the number of mutant breeding bases had increased to twenty-two. On average, each base produces more than 10,000 yellow hedras per year. For these breeding bases, Su Hao requires that the highest level of vigilance be maintained at all times, and the peripheral troops are all the main forces with strong combat effectiveness. In order to further increase the combat effectiveness of the troops, each unit has to carry out hunting activities targeting mutants during the spar harvest period every year. In addition, there are as many as 16 mutant breeding bases under construction or have been submitted for planning and declaration.

It was precisely because of such a large reserve supply base that Su Hao was able to carry out a devastating blockade of the Central Mountain Range. In his opinion, that place was no longer an essential spar source area. If it weren't for the repeated dissuasion of the black particles, he would have entered the white pyramid long ago and found out.

Although there is already a stable source of mutant ****, and a simulated uterus modeled after the body structure of a female mutant has also begun to be mass-produced, the storage zài of Saka the Ripper still has an irreplaceable role. Its sperm, in particular, is far more active and strong than other mutants. This is what Su Hao called "value".

A convoy of military heavy trucks slowly pulled into the Moli Zaka fortress. The soldiers guarding the checkpoint carefully checked the identities of the driver and the escort personnel, and after confirming that they were correct, they pressed the button, and the alloy bulletproof gate slowly separated to the two sides with a loud mechanical sound, revealing a wide road.

The convoy drove into the quarantine area, located on the side of the fortress, and stopped.

It is a huge semi-arched building, all painted in gray-green military camouflage. A major jumped out of the cab of the truck he was headed by, walked up to the officer on duty guarding the entrance, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it over with a stern face.

"Tsk! Another six thousand pieces of individual bulletproof armor...... Really. What do you do here? Is there an oversized laundry room in the back office? ”

The rank of the officer on duty was only captain, but on the resume on his chest, there was a delicate and striking black hexagonal shape. This was the special emblem of the Praetorian Guard, and although the officer in charge of escorting the convoy was a major, it was not possible to suppress the personal guards around the emperor with military ranks.

The truck was loaded with up to 6,000 pieces of individual bulletproof armor. They were all removed from the protective suits of the soldiers who were previously in charge of searching the mountains. As the Central Range is designated as a "high-hazard zone", any troops and soldiers who enter the area and return from their mission will need to undergo sanitary quarantine and quarantine. In particular, the weapons, armor and combat machinery they used had to be cleaned separately by the quarantine departments of different parts of the fortress. The area under the jurisdiction of the captain on duty is precisely the cleaning of bulletproof armor.

It's just routine business. The captain's complaint was nothing more than a joke, and the major laughed at it. The handover of formalities between the two parties was quickly completed, and the convoy drove into the underground cleaning workshop where the gate was opened.

The truck cargo baffle was disassembled, and four cube combination pylons more than six meters high were slowly pushed out along the slide rails. Such pylons consist of up to hundreds of hooks, each of which is equipped with a set of ceramic bulletproof armor removed from individual protective clothing. At first glance, it looks like a metal tree with a strange shape and a huge size.

Each washing hall can accommodate five of these cube combination pylons. The suspended bulletproof armor does not overlap each other, and the fully automatic sprinkler is capable of cleaning the armor from all directions. After several successive processes are completed, the armor that has been cleaned and dried can pass the final quality inspection and be transported out of the workshop.

The whole process is not complicated, and the staff is quite familiar with it. The cleaning workshop is a fully enclosed workshop, and people in protective clothing are also careful about every work process. Another officer on duty in the inner cabin checked the document presented by the major and others again, and very politely asked the driver and all the escorts to enter the elevator next to it and take a bath and drug test as required. As for the changed clothes, the whole process of washing and drying will be completed within 6 minutes. By the time the major and the driver finished their shower and walked naked into the rest room, their clothes were neatly folded and placed in their personal cabinets, along with towels.

The washing of heavy trucks is very careful. The fully automatic sprinkler will wash every corner inside and outside the car, and the atomized high-concentration disinfectant fills the interior of the car. However, under this kind of cleaning operation, which is more stringent than that of a regular hospital, a small mosquito survives under the seat cushion in the cab.

It was a gray mosquito endemic to the Red Dragon planet. This insect is very small, and even an adult female is only about half a centimeter long. Like its closest relatives on Earth, the Grey Mosquito has sharp needle-like mouthparts and a penchant for fresh, warm human blood. This mosquito is found in most parts of the Red Dragon Planet, and the Central Mountains are no exception.

According to the standard operating procedures of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, the seats of the Type A 29 military heavy trucks must be secured by four No. 6 all-steel screws. Considering the comfort of the driver and passengers, the screws that fix the seat are not in the form of a convex hexagonal steel cap, but are fixed with an embedded drill and twist. In this way, there is a drop of about two millimeters between the top of the screw and the surface of the seat. All seat cushions are plate pads uniformly issued by the military department. It's so elastic that drivers tend to hold the padding in place with the seat to prevent slipping. And this gray mosquito doesn't know if it is out of a special preference for narrow crevices? Or do you have a strong sense of warning about the upcoming disinfection and cleaning? All in all, when the entire interior of the carriage was filled with a lethal atomizer, the poor gray mosquito stayed in the narrow space between the seat and the screws. It's completely isolated from the outside world, and although it's stuffy, it's safe.

Bathing in the fortress cleaning workshop is not a pleasant thing to do. The strong smell of medicine is very choking, but the rules and regulations must be followed. Almost every driver comes here with their clothes dirty. On the one hand, it is out of personal bad taste, and on the other hand, it is to express one's dissatisfaction. However, it is always pleasant to put on neat clothes that exude a light fragrance, and the small displeasure of the past is also left behind.

"I don't like this place at all."

The driver was a burly middle-aged man with the rank of private, and the resume on his chest proved that he belonged to the 22nd Division of the Moli Zaka Fortress Defense Army. The cab was spacious, and in addition to the driver, he was accompanied by a heavily armed soldier. Of course, there were four other soldiers in the back compartment. According to the regulations, this is the complete escort staffing.

The driver's complaint caused the soldier next to him to laugh: "You unhygienic guy, I've heard people talk about your bad habits." The whole team counts that you don't like to take a shower. For this matter, you were only picked out as a typical by law enforcement officers last month, deducting a special reward of two silver coins. ”

The soldier's ridicule made the driver a little discouraged. He has always been a hard-working man, and the special rewards within the team are for those who are willing to work outside of normal duty hours. In order to receive this reward, the driver gave up six weeks of regular leave in a row. However, the name of the bailiff's punishment was also impeccable: on the day of the inspection, the driver had not showered for more than a month. Busy, of course for sure. But it takes less than 10 minutes before and after taking a shower. The driver himself was very angry about the deduction of the bonus, but he could only obey the orders of the magistrate. Correspondingly, the driver's lack of hygiene has also become a laughing stock for many people.

The cool wind poured into the cab from both sides of the window, the smell of disinfectant in the air was much lighter, and the gray mosquitoes hiding in the gap between the screws and the seat cushion also crawled out with difficulty. The long suffocation had made it very weak, so it mustered up its last strength, fluttered its wings and flew to the driver's bare arm, and with the joy and greed of seeing the food, aimed at the pale red skin under the thick hair, and stabbed it hard.

Freshly bathed skin with warm moisture is softer and more sensitive than usual. The numbness and itching on his arm made the driver turn his head and focus his attention, just in time to see the gray mosquito sucking his own blood. In a fit of rage, he quickly let go of his left hand holding the steering wheel, and slapped the gray mosquito that was immersed in happiness and satisfaction into meat sauce on the spot.

"Damn mosquitoes! There are mosquitoes here! There are mosquitoes! ”

The driver resumed his normal driving movements and muttered unhappily: "What is going on with those people in the cleaning workshop?" Isn't the whole car sanitized? How can there still be mosquitoes? Hell, I'm going to complain about them, I'm going to have to complain about them. ”

The soldier sitting next to him closed the window a little, hugged his rifle and laughed: "Do you need to ask?" Definitely came in through the window. Although the people in the cleaning workshop have an indifferent attitude, they are still very disciplined in doing things, and the operation is also in line with the norms. Only unhygienic guys like you attract mosquitoes. Maybe they're actually your close relatives. It's just that you can't find their names on the family tree, and they are completely because of the mysterious relationship between relatives that cannot be explained in words, so they come over and bite you affectionately to show goodwill, but I didn't expect you, a cruel guy, to understand it, and directly shoot it to death...... Hahahaha! It must be so! It must be so! ”

"Bastard! You shut up Lao Tzu! ”

"You'd better give me a silver coin for hush money. Otherwise, I will go to the civil court and sue you for murder of a blood relative. ”

"Fart, you're related to them."

"Then why don't mosquitoes bite me, but they have to bite you?"

"This ...... I'm cāo! ”

Heavy trucks sped out of the fortress and headed for the military camp in the distance. Along the way, only the incessant foul language of the annoyed and angry driver and the gag ridicule of the soldiers next to him remained. Anger is just something that stays on the surface, and everyone knows that the other person has no ill intentions, just a joke. Although the scolding was loud and the laughter was unbridled, no one did anything, just to dispel fatigue between laughter and scolding, adding a little extra color to the ordinary life.

Neither the soldier nor the driver noticed that there was an extra pinpoint-sized red dot on the arm that had been bitten by the gray mosquito. No one cares about this kind of wound, and there are always similar scars left after being bitten by mosquitoes. Human skin is inherently a strong protective layer, and the body's immune and regenerative systems are able to prevent most viruses from entering. What's more, mosquitoes are just mosquitoes after all, and of course they carry viruses, but there are very few incidents of death due to bites.

There is something invisible to the naked eye that is quietly changing the body of the entrant.

As night fell, the town of Mook began to experience its busiest time of day.

It was close to Dingzhou, on the outskirts of the 22nd Imperial Infantry Division. The Emperor's renaming of the large cities in the Imperial region did not affect the town-level areas. The town of Muk still bears its old name from the Old Kingdom. There are not many aborigines here, and there are only two or three original streets in the town. It really prospered and became lively after it became a permanent area of Imperial infantry.

The dilapidated streets of the Kingdom period have been renovated and are lined with bars, casinos, inns, and shops of various names. It's a long way from the big city, and there are a lot of spare spaces, so you can just put up a shelf and transform it into a house for different purposes. The proprietors were mostly outsiders, and although the locals were led by them to start a similar business, they could not get drugs and good liquor, and although they were all bars and there were no beautiful drinking girls, the business was very light despite the cheap prices.

Su Hao did not prohibit the pursuit of alcohol during the period of vacation. He has always believed that if you want to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, you must really treat soldiers as human beings. Strictness is of course necessary, but ascetic callousness is not desirable. The bars and nightclubs in the town of Muk are able to save zài precisely because of this reason. The garrison hospital will send medical officers on time to conduct physical examinations for all working women in the town, so as to eliminate all kinds of infectious diseases at the source. If the operator does a good job in hygiene, he can even receive an additional reward from the Imperial military.

As for drugs, it was completely different from heroin on Earth, but a special preparation approved by the Imperial military that could be added to alcoholic beverages to cause a transient euphoric effect. Of course, in the official drug list, such preparations are all "stimulants", and the term "drugs" is only used among Su Hao and other members of the "worker bee".

The army is not entirely made up of "worker bees". About two-thirds of the officers and men are ordinary people. Transformation takes time and process, and it also requires Su Hao to collect blood from his body again and again. According to the current transformation progress and the fertility rate of the people, it will take at least two hundred to three hundred years to fully transform everyone on the Red Dragon Planet.

Lana is a dancer at the "Golden Key" bar. She is ordinary-looking, strictly speaking, she is not beautiful, she can only be regarded as delicate. However, in the eyes of many drinkers, Lana is actually far more glamorous than the stars in the pictorial. Her figure is quite plump, but she is not so fat that she wants to vomit when she sees it. Moderate obesity makes Lana's boobs so huge, someone once measured that the pair of **** is about the same size as a basketball. What is particularly surprising is that Lana's waist is very thin, and down there is a fat buttocks with a sharp increase in curves. This woman's skin was very white, and she did not have the uncomfortable rough feeling of a peasant woman in the mountains. The delicate skin is an important capital for Lana to seduce men. A man who once her claimed: It was simply solid milk. Although it is an exaggeration, it also illustrates the facts from an alternative perspective.

When the driver walked into the bar, Lana happened to come out from behind the counter with a plate. But there is no Cheng dù who is so fat that people want to vomit when they see it.
