It was dawn and the snow stopped.

The sun shone on the thick snowdrifts, and a bonfire lit up in the scrap iron sheets, and the subtle sound of "crackling" mixed with the smell of gasoline volatilization.

Five people sat around the campfire, silent.

"You almost killed me."

Jiang Yixia said expressionlessly.

Fu Qinghai looked embarrassed and sincerely apologized:

"I'm sorry."

"I assimilated Dormammu's power, and it took me more than three thousand assimilation points in total."

Chen Gorilla said expressionlessly.

The implication: In order to save you, it is all gone.

Fu Qinghai smiled bitterly and said:

"I'm sorry."

"Aoyama, I ......"

Li Xingxian wanted to speak and stopped.

Fu Qinghai squinted and looked over:

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Xingxian said confidently:

"That night, I was scared too!"

Only Huxley still looked dazed:

"What happened last night?"

Yet no one paid any attention to him.

……

What the hell is the Divine Seal?

It all started with the Dead Space set.

Dead Space is a game by EA, as well as spin-offs, movies and animations, which focus on deep space claustrophobic sci-fi horror, which was once considered to "surpass the Resident Evil series", but was later made by EA to the end.

The appearance of this ancient and mysterious alien device in the Dead Space universe has no beginning or tail, appearing on Earth with an asteroid impact 65 million years ago, and quietly appearing on the planet Tower Francis 2 million years ago.

Let's talk about the fate of alien civilizations first.

Two million years ago, a group of technologically advanced alien creatures discovered the "ocean planet" Tower Flantis located in the Milky Way Spiral Arm Nebula.

At some point later, aliens discovered a mysterious device in the shape of a double helix at the bottom of the sea in Tower Frantis, which was constantly broadcasting high-intensity electromagnetic signals to the surrounding area, so alien civilizations regarded it as an important infinite energy source, and soon produced a large number of similar devices distributed throughout the surface of the planet.

Soon a catastrophe erupted on Tower Frantis, and most of the aliens were transformed into "corpse mutants" by the seal of the god they worshipped and began to slaughter their own people.

After the massacre provided enough biomass, the Divine Seal induced a "convergence event", in which all the living infected and the dead corpse fragments were attracted together by some force, and the tremendous pressure brought these flesh together, forming a "satellite" of organisms in the orbit of the planet.

That is, the "blood moon".

Although their own race is on the verge of extinction, in order to prevent the Divine Seal from continuing to plague other intelligent races, the remaining aliens have built an environmental modification device, which has rapidly frozen the surface of the entire planet Tower Frantis, and all the Divine Seals have been buried under the thick ice, and the fusion process of the "Blood Moon" has been temporarily suspended.

The Blood Moon is a sentient form that can be seen as the ultimate form of the corpse mutations, and it is currently unknown to humans what the purpose of the Blood Moon is, but there is much evidence that they will continue to seek out and devour other organic life after they have formed.

Somewhat similar to the low-profile version of the Tyranid.

Let's talk about the fate of human civilization.

The asteroid impact caused the extinction of species, but the Divine Seal also seems to have something to do with the Big Bang of the new species, in other words, perhaps it was the existence of the Divine Seal that accelerated the evolution of life on Earth and led to the emergence of humans.

When humans on Earth finally evolved into modern society, in 2214, archaeologists mined this device at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, and the same story: scientists found that it emits high-intensity electromagnetic signals all the time, which is initially inferred to be infinite energy.

As the research deepened, there were mass deaths of researchers, leading to the first outbreak of the "corpse mutant frenzy" on Earth. However, under the influence of the aura of the protagonist of the male protagonist Dr. Altman (he established a spiritual link with the Divine Seal and reached a tacit understanding), the "corpse variant" produced by the Divine Seal was finally quickly suppressed by the Earth Defense Force (EDF).

Later, the open research turned into secret research, and the Divine Seal had already shown great danger, but at that time, the Earth Government (EG) had already reached the point of endangering the rule of the Earth, and they pinned their hopes on solving the energy crisis through the Divine Seal, and on the other hand, they also hoped to use the ability of the Divine Seal to research weapons and maintain their dominance.

At this moment, human beings have been unified globally, and they have begun to gradually colonize aliens, and they want to continue to study the Divine Seal, and in order to prevent the Divine Seal from causing serious consequences on the earth, the base camp of human beings, the Earth government has thought of a way - put the copy of the Divine Seal in a remote colony or mining planet, and conduct secret research far away from the earth.

That is, desolate planets like Proxima Centauri Sagittarius, Uther, Gliese 581, and Aegis VII.

Seeing this, the keen person has realized that something is wrong.

The Divine Seal, which is so high, violates the common sense of the world, and contains a beautiful fantasy of the "perpetual motion machine", which is a magical device that neither aliens nor earthlings can penetrate and crack, why is it so easy to say that it is copied?

Perhaps, "being copied" is what the Divine Seal itself wants, and it is to use "infinite energy" as a temptation to attract these intelligent races to keep making copies of it.

Later, it was discovered that no matter how many light years apart, the original Divine Seal could have some connection with the Duplicate Divine Seal.

And this is the conspiracy of the Divine Seal.

Among them, "Aegis VII" is the planet where the main story of the game takes place, the outbreak site of the Ishimura incident, and after the "corpse transformation frenzy" was generated, the Earth government successively dispatched the search and rescue ships Kellyon and O'Bannon to investigate, but they were all lost.

Why is Dead Space unfinished?

In the finale of the last part of the series, the male and female protagonists killed the "blood moon" on Tower Frantis, and finally returned to the earth after a lot of hardships, only to find that there was a huge "blood moon" waiting for them in the earth's orbit......

A Alien-esque ending.

In other words, all of humanity is finished.

The official does not explain what the Divine Seal is, but based on the above background information, we can roughly guess:

The Divine Seal is a weapon made by a certain high-dimensional being, yes, a weapon, the purpose of which is similar to the Zhizi of the Three-Body Man, a weapon that systematically destroys the intelligent race.

Using "infinite energy" as bait, attract intelligent races to study it and replicate it, and then quietly spread spiritual pollution, creating a "corpse transformation frenzy", and corpse transformations coalesce to form a "blood moon".

This is a superweapon aimed at the civilization level.

Not for the destruction of a certain person, but for the destruction of a certain civilization.

This kind of high-dimensional level of mental manipulation is very terrifying and difficult to resist. Not only is it wide-ranging, but the methods are also very secretive, and it will implant specific ideas in the minds of specific individuals, such as the assassination of Dr. Altman by federal agents, which is said to be subtly influenced by the divine seal.

It's very Cthulhu.

Friends who are familiar with the core of the gram system know that spiritual pollution is not measured by rank and strength.

In the Cthulhu series, some investigators (protagonists) just won't be affected by the old dominators, and they can stay sane and sober in the face of the old gods and outer gods, while some people (supporting characters) just look at the gram creatures and go crazy on the spot.

It has nothing to do with whether the body is strong or not, whether the mental willpower is tenacious or not, and any "hard-working people", "veterans of wars", and "genius boys with developed brains" will not be affected by mental pollution......

This is all based on the self-righteous assumption of low-dimensional creatures to speculate on the rules of the high-dimensional world, why should the high-dimensional world operate according to the "empirical theory" of low-dimensional creatures?

There is no logic, no reason.

The level gap is so large that it is completely incomprehensible.

It's called Cthulhu.

The Divine Seal is a very Cthulhu setting - the original words from the production company.

Throughout the entire Dead Space series, there are only two male protagonists, Michael Altman, and Isaac Clark, the male protagonist of the game, who can be highly linked to the Divine Seal and are not affected by the Divine Seal at all.

These are the natural protagonists, the chosen ones.

What is Fu Qinghai, just a reincarnation.

Many people don't understand a reason: what is so powerful about the protagonists in these zombie horror games?

Are they agile and accurate marksmanship? Or are they physically strong and enduring? Neither. The protagonists of the Resident Evil series, Yin Sen, Leon, Jill...... The strength is that they will not be infected with the virus for various reasons, and some people are stronger and more agile than them, but once they are infected by the virus, it is useless to say anything.

In the same way, Isaac Clarke, the protagonist of Dead Space, is known as the "First Engineer of the Universe", but after all, he is just a system engineer on a mining spaceship, he is not a professionally trained professional soldier, he can kill the corpse transformation frenzy because he is not affected by the Divine Seal, and other soldiers have just landed on the spaceship and have been controlled by the Divine Seal, and they can't play their skills.

……

"So, this thing of the Divine Seal is far beyond the level we can handle, right?"

After listening to Fu Qinghai's explanation of the origin of the Divine Seal, Chen Shilu asked seriously.

Fu Qinghai nodded: "Yes." ”

"So what do we do now?"

Jiang Yixia asked.

Fu Qinghai sighed and said:

"When I encountered the Divine Seal, I blamed me, I was careless. The Perfect Human deliberately left a hidden clue for me to follow, and then I was led to the Divine Seal. ”

Fu Qinghai thought he was a hunter, but he didn't expect him to be the prey that walked into the trap.

"The top priority now is to find a way to find the perfect human satellite in space orbit, I can't stand this feeling of being monitored by the enemy all the time, including the trap laid this time, the time and place are just right."

Fu Qinghai said.

Affected by orbit and climatic conditions, artificial satellites cannot monitor the planet in all directions at all times, but an occasional glance is enough to annoy Fu Qinghai, after all, he can't see others.

Fu Qinghai returned to the tank and saw the words and symbols written in his own blood on the bulkhead.

"Convergence...... Sublimation...... ...... as one"

Fu Qinghai's face was gloomy, and he wiped off the crooked dried blood stains with a wet towel dipped in snow water.

Just like E Mold and Black God Faith, Plaka Parasite and Sect of Light, a horror game without religious elements is not a good horror game, and in the Dead Space series, the proportion of religious elements is also not small.

The Divine Seal is imperceptibly brainwashing the intelligent beings around it all the time, and the "Unification Church" hidden in the human race is the product of this brainwashing, they believe that Dr. Altman's death is a conspiracy of the Earth government, and that only becoming a part of the "Blood Moon" is the ultimate destination of human sublimation.

This is a cult that encourages suicide and martyrdom.

Fu Qinghai has always hated religion the most.

I accidentally got into the way.

……

Fu Qinghai no longer approached the valley where the divine seal was hidden, but continued to search along the surrounding area.

Fu Qinghai's search efficiency is very high, he only needs to fly in the air to scan the scenery in front of him, and Qing Ming will automatically analyze and compare it to determine whether it is worth further exploration.

It took less than a week for him to discover something unusual somewhere. Near a small snow-covered glacial lake, Qing Ming said that the snow on the shore was of varying thickness, and there were traces of large objects being dragged. This is a detail that ordinary people and others will not pay attention to and cannot discover.

Fu Qinghai carefully looked around and checked the surroundings.

There are no other pitfalls.

Thermal imaging views show no signs of life.

Fu Qinghai turned off the reactor of the jetpack, free-fell in the air, and smashed into the thick ice.

"Smack!"

The ice cracked and the water stirred.

A series of bubbles rose, and the Space Marines slowly sank.

"Purr ......"

The muffled sound of water rang in my ears.

Fu Qinghai's chest lit up with a searchlight, and the white light was cylindrical, penetrating the turbid water and illuminating the dim bottom of the lake.

A behemoth lies quietly at the bottom of the lake.

Fu Qinghai sank to the bottom of the lake, his magnetic shoes stepped on the loose soft mud, and the turbofan of the jetpack rotated, rolling up strings of fine bubbles, pushing him forward, Fu Qinghai came to the side of the mechanical creation, and reached out to brush away the brown and green algae attached to it.

The Supremacy shuttle.

A line of English appears on the shell.

Fu Qinghai understood, turned around and floated towards the water.

……

"Boom ......"

The tank drove towards the lake and slowly stopped.

Fu Qinghai unfastened the lock connected to the armored car, tied the thick steel cable to it, and carried a large bundle of steel cables into the frozen lake, allowing the cold and biting water to overflow him.

Fu Qinghai tied the steel cables to various positions of the shuttle, returned to the shore and drove the tank to drag it hard, pulling the shuttle sunk at the bottom of the lake out of the water little by little.

On the white snow-covered earth, the flying machine, which had been deliberately hidden under the water, finally revealed its full appearance.

In terms of overall structure, this shuttle looks like a space shuttle, with short wing-like structures protruding from the left and right sides of the fuselage, and attitude control vents are set under the protrusions.

There is a searchlight at the nose of the aircraft, a twin gun on the back, three engines are mounted on the rear half of the shuttle fuselage to provide ample power for the aircraft, and the fuel filling port is located on the back of the rear half of the fuselage.

"I've been soaking in the lake for so long, can this thing still start normally?"

Chen Shilu couldn't help but ask with some concern as she looked at the algae covered in the shell and the silt sliding down from the engine vent.

After all, this is not a land vehicle, this is to carry people to outer space, whether it can be started or not is one thing, if something goes wrong during the flight, it is not a joke.

Fu Qinghai untied the steel cable and put on a crafted backpack.

I thought: You're afraid you don't know who I am.

White Scar Warband, Chief Technical Sergeant, the only casting master, Aoyama Nayan Khan is also!

And something I can't fix?

……

After a series of processes such as drainage, cleaning, drying, rust removal, welding, riveting, reloading, ...... after the operation.

Fu Qinghai sat in the driver's seat of the shuttle, pressed the start button of the control system, and waited patiently.

"Ding!"

The screen lights up.

"Welcome to the Sovereign Colony Alliance spacecraft control system."

Authentication Startup ......

An electronic female voice sounded.

The shuttle's system started up normally.

It was the Sovereign Colonial Alliance, not the United Astronautical Association (USG) and the Harmony Mining Company (CEC).

"Qing Ming, crack it."

Fu Qinghai said.

The end of the mechanical tentacle of the work-made backpack extends out of the universal plug and inserts the data interface under the operation panel.

Soon, the screen flashed again, and Fu Qinghai's avatar appeared on it.

"Welcome, Engineer Aoyama."

An electronic female voice sounded.

"Please enter the control command."

"Open the logbook."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

The screen in front of me keeps switching screens.

When the latest voyage record appeared at the top of the screen, Fu Qinghai finished reading the few lines of brief text, and his eyes were slightly glazed:

"Stone ...... Ishimura? ”

"Logbook: July 21, 2508, Departure: Ishimura Planetary Split-Class Mining Vessel, Destination: Earth's Surface, coordinates 276-16-836."

Because it is an assimilated item, the time in the logbook is not indicative, but the origin and destination are ...... It's very debatable.

This is the latest voyage record of the Hegemony shuttle, and I have the impression that since the Ishimura was put into service, it has been working diligently in the remote star area and has never returned to Earth, how can there be Earth as a destination?

That means that the "earth" here may not be the "earth" in the Dead Space universe.

Could it be ......

Fu Qinghai's breathing became short.

Slowly looked up at the sky.

……

In the midst of Chen Shilu and Huxley's onlookers, the tail nozzle of the shuttle spewed out yellow flames, the fuselage shook violently, the turbulent air flow blew the flying snow chips, and the Overlord shuttle slowly lifted off the ground and slowly rose into the air.

Twenty minutes later.

The Earth has turned into a blue hazy ball of water.

In front of Fu Qinghai, a huge iron-gray ship was quietly moored on the track.

"Wow......"

Fu Qinghai's eyes lit up slightly.

Until the moment he saw the Shicun, Fu Qinghai knew that he had saved more than 30,000 assimilation points and did not use it, after all, he did not pay it wrongly, and it was worth it after all.

It's for now!

……

The Dead Space universe has two technologies that Fu Qinghai is particularly interested in – gravity manipulation and planetary splitting.

The technical principle of planetary cracking is actually based on gravity manipulation, which is an efficient mining technology that can tear mineral-rich planets or small celestial bodies into small pieces with a powerful artificial gravity field and drag them into space, and then crush, refine, process and other processes.

The Ishimura, a ship based on this unique technology, is CEC's first and largest planetary cracking-class mining vessel. The name Ishimura comes from Dr. Hideo Ishimura, the inventor of the "oscillation point engine" technology, which is equivalent to the inventor of the "warp speed" technology in the Dead Space universe.

Fu Qinghai looked at the spaceship from afar.

Although it is far from being slender, it can still be regarded as a "bony" ship in appearance, and this impression mainly comes from the large number of ribs arranged symmetrically on both sides of the front and middle hull, and if you count the eight cantilever arms with gravity cables at the ends of the four long and four short arms protruding from the bottom of the hull, it looks even more grotesque and cold.

Each of the planetary crack-class mining ships is a "fishbone ship" of this unique shape, but they are not as large as the Ishimura - they are already comparable to the destroyers of the Human Empire.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

"Pick-up, target: Ishimura."

Fu Qinghai said.

At the same time, hold the weapon in your hand.

The Ishimura is also a spaceship that has carried the Red Divine Seal, and the corpse transformation frenzy has erupted in a concentrated manner.
