Chapter 361: Exile
The "Great Wall of Stars" is the most spectacular interstellar project in this "penal colony" galaxy, which spans the entire rod of the "Great Wound" galaxy from the beginning of the "Great Wound" galaxy to the end of the "Storm Origin" galaxy, with a length of nearly 70,000 light years and covering more than 2 billion galaxies.
Each of the systems that is part of the Great Wall of the Galaxy is home to a complex battlestar structure, filled with a vast array of weapons of all kinds, ready to defeat any enemy that comes its way.
And in the starports of these space fortresses, there are mobile fleets that are always in a state of combat readiness, as long as any fortress is in danger, these fleets will rush to support from all directions, never slack off, and never give up.
In the eyes of those who are guarded by this "Great Wall of Stars", this is a lifeline, because without the huge defense line formed by these fortresses, they would not have the life they have now.
The media reports even called this interstellar project the "Hell Line", because the battles that took place here have always been the most fierce and the "hell" that killed all those involved.
Those who can return alive from here are definitely enough to be named "heroes" and admired by everyone.
Today, however, is a holiday to be solemnly remembered for the entire "exile" civilization, as a new batch of soldiers and officers will be sent to the "line of hell".
How many people will be buried in the starry sky this time, and how many people will return as "heroes"?
No one knows the outcome, and can only hope as much as possible that the people they value will not be buried in the stars.
“…… I'm very happy because this time there are 20 percent more warriors who are determined to go to that place than there was last time. ”
"Even if it is not mandatory, everyone spontaneously takes their responsibilities and chooses to stand on the battlefield of turning their backs from their homes......"
"Obviously, we are still moving forward, and even though we are branded as 'sinners,' we are still able to maintain our convictions......
Such "mobilization speeches" are transmitted in all directions from each section of the ring of this "assembly point" ring world, but in fact there is no sound in the ring world, only some parts of the ring world are vibrating faintly with certain rules.
The sound waves formed by this vibration can be said to have no effect in the air, and even if they are conducted through solids, they are almost invisible.
But the warriors had serious faces, and it was clear that they could "hear" the voices.
To be precise, it's one of their genes that causes them to grow a kind of villi on their body surface that is able to catch the slightest flutter at any point.
Their well-developed neural tissue is able to easily process this regular fibrillation into a language they are familiar with, thus achieving the effect of "hearing".
They also don't have to worry about whether their overly sensitive senses will make them hear all kinds of noises all the time, because they have an additional "second brain" in their body, which is only one-third the size of their first brain, but is dedicated to processing "useless information".
It has hundreds of thousands of times more information processing power than the first brain, and can perform about a million simple operations per second.
Although this number is not as fast as that of computers, and even the computers of some indigenous civilizations are much faster than this number, it is already a miracle as a "biological brain".
Before the "consciousness command" is issued, this "second brain" can roughly distinguish which is "garbage" and which is "information" that may be useful, and then block out the useless parts, and then leave the remaining parts to the "first brain" to decide.
Their nerve cells are just as efficient at transmitting information, which not only gives them amazing reaction speed, but also strengthens the brain's ability to process information.
Each of them is literally the equivalent of a walking old computer, the kind with all sorts of advanced peripherals, because each of them has undergone the most extreme and perfect genetic modification in the past.
Transformed into this generation, they can already be regarded as "perfect creatures" in some sense.
For example, they are free to control the hormone secretion in their bodies, so they can control their "emotions", cry when they should cry, laugh when they should laugh, or be fearless, or ignore everything.
However, since most of them don't like the feeling of "mastering their emotions", they usually don't actively control the secretion of mood hormones.
Although sometimes there is a subconscious mind that helps them make decisions that affect their "emotions", most of the time they still behave like normal life without much emotional difference.
In the same way, all viruses or bacteria or other "foreign invaders" cannot infect them at all.
Their body resembles a highly sophisticated precision machine, and any "superfluous" part of this machine will be instantly recognized and cause a powerful counterattack.
Eradicating all diseases in the body is their most basic physical quality, and the efficient utilization rate of chemical energy and the distribution of tissue structure provide support for this perfect body.
With such a strong body, they naturally have an extremely high metabolic rate, and their "second brain" alone is a huge energy consumer, not to mention other organs.
The main components of their current food are various radioactive materials, and although they cannot carry out fission reactions in their bodies, they can also absorb a large amount of energy through special methods to feed their consumption.
Sometime in the past, they isolated and studied the mitochondria and "bioreactors" of certain space organisms, and found a way to form a miniature "bioreactor" in their bodies.
They no longer have organs in their bodies that belong to the "intestines", and the "stomach" serves as their "bioreactor" to assume the functions of digestion and absorption at the same time to save space in the body.
A unique mitochondria, which are widely distributed in the body, also have a corresponding energy release efficiency that is sufficient to convert the energy absorbed by the "bioreactor" into the rest of the body tissues in a more efficient way.
In addition to all of the above, they also have dormant "super stem cells" that can quickly activate and divide in times of crisis, allowing the body to grow as much tissue as possible that can adapt to danger.
Even if 90% of the body's tissues are missing, these "super stem cells" can allow them to "grow" back.
However, with such terrifying biotechnological strength and the ability to complete the "Great Wall of Stars", which also requires an extremely high-tech level of space engineering, they are still constantly mobilizing troops to fight on the front line.
How terrifying is the enemy they are facing?
At this time, the "mobilization speech" has also reached its end.
“…… This year marks the 3.5 million interstellar year we have fought against the abominable Hunters, and it's been so long that we've almost forgotten why we're fighting......"
"But we still have to remember all the time that we are 'exiles'! It is to fight to pay for our sins! ”
As the speech ended, one ship after another carried the soldiers to the Great Wall of Frontier, known as the "Line of Hell."
