Chapter 133, rewarding, but very uncomfortable. (4K)
How did the corrupted land recover, how did the demonic plague caused by the demon seed subside, and when did humans return to the land......
Wildler did not know this, and he was even pessimistic that human civilization outside the barren land would be cut off.
After this dusty history was finished, the holographic Wildler soothed his emotions before saying: "Latecomers, what I want to tell you next is the result of our painstaking research over the years. ”
With that, the hologram flickered a few times, and the figure vanished, replaced by a humanoid monster with pure black skin, strange lines, thick and powerful lower limbs, and sharp claws.
The forelimbs are slender but long, reaching below the knee and also have sharp claws. The skull is small and triangular with short, round ears. The two eyes are almost connected, and the nose is not visible, but on the sides of the neck there are organs similar to the gills.
A large mouth almost open to the base of the ear, inside are gloomy teeth, and the tongue is long with a fork at the tip. The torso is thin and looks weak.
"It's ......" Ryan frowned deeply, he had never seen such an ugly and strange creature.
Soon, Wildler's voice appeared again, and he said through gritted teeth: "This is the demon species that our research institute has studied, and they are the most common types, which are extremely fast, low-intelligence killing machines.
The vitality of the demon seed is very strong, and it is difficult to kill with a single hit with ordinary attacks. According to relevant research, its weakness lies in the lower abdomen, where there is a structure similar to the heart, and if you attack it, you can kill it with one hit.
Their mode of reproduction is parasitic, and they are parasitic and dead intelligent creatures, similar to egg-like reproduction, which will grow rapidly with the help of the flesh and blood of its host's body, and can be formed in a short time.
During this time, they devour the host's brain and eventually take shape, and because they devour the brain, they have a relatively low intelligence.
We believe that it is because the brain is already dead in a parasitic state, and if they can live and parasitize, it is very likely that they will have a higher intelligence.
Fortunately, their parasites are very fragile, we are born extraordinary, and they can't withstand the extraordinary power in their bodies, so there is no need to worry about this problem. ”
As you can tell, Wildler is very pleased with this last point.
But Ryan felt a little speechless, and couldn't help complaining: "Then you are too happy, the era of everyone is extraordinary has long passed, and now the extraordinary are rare." ”
Despite this, Ryan didn't worry about anything, just kidding, I don't know how many years have passed, and what demon seed may have been annihilated in the long river of history.
Wildler naturally couldn't hear him complaining, and said to himself: "I have already sorted out the specific information about the demon seed, if you can use it, you can refer to it." ”
As soon as the words fell, the holographic projection screen turned again, and the image of the demon seed turned into a strange piece of dark copper-colored metal, looking at the traces of human creation, and there were strange patterns on it.
"These are the 'Heavenly Fires', which fall from the sky with a raging flame and tear through our city's defenses with ease.
After research, we determined that it was a man-made alloy that was very strong, malleable, and corrosion-resistant, outperforming any of our existing metals.
We tried a lot to get its recipe, but it failed, so we had to learn to use it instead, as it was still in high stock.
We managed to make a set of armor out of it, and the strength was amazing, and if we could make it in large quantities and arm it, the demon seed would no longer be a threat, but unfortunately at that time, the research had just progressed, and the demon seed was already raging everywhere, so I had to lock down the laboratory, and the armor was also sealed in the dust. ”
Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb, armor made of super strong alloy, good thing! He secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter what, he couldn't let go of this armor!
"The research data of the 'Heavenly Fire' and the data of the demon seed are stored together, I hope you can crack its formula, and we can look at it."
Wildler's tone was a little lonely, and you can imagine how mixed he was when he was recording this.
Ryan sighed silently, he would never have imagined that the world had already undergone earth-shaking changes now, except for the barren land still existed, everything else was different from what he thought.
"The recorded history of human beings is close to 100,000 years, and in such a long time, there has never been a record of people born extraordinary, which means that the era in which they lived was still 100,000 years ago?
Yes, their civilization has perished, and the inheritance has been severed, so we have no record of the demon seed. But why has the development of science and technology been stagnant for so long?
In the previous life, the blue star, the oldest Huaxia, is only 5,000 years old, and human beings have already developed into outer space and landed on the moon. 100,000 years, no matter how slow it is, it won't be the same as it is now. ”
Ryan fell into deep thought, what is it that is holding back the development of science?
And what can hinder the technological development of an intelligent race or even an entire continent?
He suddenly shuddered, and he was terrified to think about it......
"Latecomer, that's all I have to tell you, and I don't know if this trivial research can help you now.
The core of this research institute is in the control room, and if you need to, you can use the authority to take full control of it and let it continue to function.
If you don't need it, please keep it locked down as our sleeping place. May the beacon of civilization live forever......"
At this point, the holographic projection slowly turned off, and the entire warehouse fell silent again, Ryan was a little stunned, and then looked at those skeletons without feeling afraid.
These people, who have given everything to their race, have not given up research in the end, and are still concerned about the future of civilization.
Perhaps it is because there are so many 052 research institutes that human civilization can continue.
Even though their time was now far away and blurred, Ryan still admired them from the bottom of his heart, and bowed heavily to the rows of skeletons.
At the same time, he also understood why the bones of these people had been immortal for so many years, jokingly saying that it was a gift from heaven to the transcendent.
A knight as powerful as Ryan would have bones in this state after death, but this is not a good thing, as it is a good material in the eyes of many evil magicians or alchemists.
It is no exaggeration to say that just these bones are worth a lot of money, but fortunately, Ryan still has a little conscience and has not been eaten by dogs, and will not do that kind of immoral thing.
After thinking about it, he doesn't seem to know where to put those materials, this research institute is not small, and he can find the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue?
He said tentatively, "Controller, do you know where Wildler's data is kept?" ”
"All the research materials are stored in a classified vault in Warehouse Eight, do you need me to open them for you?"
Ryan looked overjoyed, he just had the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect it to really know, this thing is too powerful!
"Open!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he made his choice, and soon, a rumbling sound sounded, and a hole in the top of the barn was opened.
Ryan looked up, and was immediately frightened, and quickly dodged away, and the next moment a large metal box fell from the sky.
Fortunately, there is a thick steel rope at the top of it to control the speed of the descent, and there is no direct free fall, and it falls steadily to the ground.
The metal box is about three meters high, two meters long, and less than a meter wide. There was a crystal inlaid in the middle, and the crystal scanned Ryan for the first time, and finally said in a familiar mechanical voice:
"Enough clearance, Second Guard salutes you!"
Ryan suddenly realized that the second guard was here.
There was a slight sound from the inside of the metal box, and then there was a "click", as if a whole box had cracked a straight gap in the middle, and then slowly opened, revealing the internal structure.
On the left is a small evenly divided grid, and in each compartment there is a pile of animal skin-like things, which should be the recorded information.
Ryan picked up one casually, it felt a little rough, I don't know what kind of animal skin it is, it can exist for such a long time without being affected.
Looking at the content inside, it was all about the research of the demon seed, and he sorted out all these materials, and found that there were not many, only half a meter high.
These are definitely to be brought out, they are very valuable research materials, and a research maniac like Liman should be very interested.
He looked to the other side of the chest, which was obscured by an unknown hide, which looked like the same one that had written it.
Reaching out and opening it, the contents suddenly made his eyes widen, it was actually a set of dark copper-colored full-covered heavy armor, the appearance was powerful and domineering, and the depiction had cumbersome patterns, which was extraordinary at first glance.
"Is this the armor that Wildler was talking about? It's really not ordinary. Ryan's eyes were shining, and he couldn't take them off at all, and he liked it at a glance.
He eagerly picked up the helmet, it was very heavy, the hilt of the knife made a dull sound against it, and he tried to slash it.
"Qiang—"
Sparks splashed everywhere, Ryan only felt that the arm holding the horizontal knife was numb, and when he picked up the knife, he saw that the blade actually collapsed into a small hole.
On the other hand, the helmet only has a very shallow scratch, which is not a problem at all compared to its thickness, and it is far-fetched to say that it is tickling.
"Good boy, this strength is really strong, isn't it a humanoid tank when you wear this thing? Conventional weapons are basically impossible to break the defense. Ryan looked at the heavier breastplate, and suddenly imagined the scene of himself being invulnerable to the enemy with his helmet and armor.
Tsk, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil, looking at the body on his body, although it is a good gilt armor, but it is still a little bit meaningless.
Decisively took off the body and changed it directly on the spot, and when the last mask was put down, Ryan directly became a metal can, a humanoid tank.
Feeling the heavy weight on the body, this sense of security is bursting!
He casually ripped off the animal skin, wrapped the data behind his back, and asked, "Master, what are the warehouses in the laboratory?" ”
"Warehouses 1 to 5 are ecological simulation warehouses, and the researchers can rely on the vegetables and food grown in them to be self-sufficient, and the green plants can also relieve the researchers' mental state. However, due to the death of the researcher, all the plants in the eco-chamber have died.
Warehouses 6 to 7 were specimen warehouses, which housed living specimens for experimentation, all of which are now dead.
The No. 8 warehouse was previously a conference warehouse, and later it was changed to a sleeping warehouse.
Warehouse No. 9 to No. 10 is a material storage warehouse, and only a small amount of materials remains in warehouse No. 9 at present.
Warehouses 11 to 15 are living warehouses. ”
Ryan was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were fifteen warehouses here, if each of them was as big as the eighth warehouse, the area of this research institute was really not small.
One of the things that interested him the most was the specimen warehouse, the living specimen naturally referred to the demon species, but they were all dead, so he had no interest, what if there was some virus or something in it that knocked him down.
Curiosity kills cats, it's a bad thing.
So, his goal was clear - the ninth warehouse where supplies were stored!
He couldn't wait to find the door of Warehouse Nine, and this time it opened automatically without a scan by the guards.
Chamber Nine was larger than Room No. 8, and it was unusually bright, and he became more and more curious about where the energy of this laboratory came from, and how it could still be maintained for such a long time.
There were shelves in the warehouse, and most of the things on them were rotten, and it was impossible to tell what they were.
The rest, most of them are precious metals, and the most of them are the fragments of the "heavenly fire" that Wildler mentioned, which are piled up in large chunks in the warehouse.
It is impossible to estimate the total amount.
He took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the same material as the armor on his body, and the traces of man-made were very obvious, thinking of the way it fell from the sky, which was a little thought-provoking......
These metals are very precious, but unfortunately, most of them can't move away, so they can only pick some precious small pieces of metal first.
He continued to rummage and found a number of items of unknown purpose, but most of them were rotten and of little value.
At present, this trip to the ruins is a bit of a loss, except for a set of armor that is decent, these metals can't be moved away at all, and those materials have no effect for the time being.
Let Ryan feel like he was empty in Baoshan, he walked out of the warehouse a little depressed, and paid attention to the laboratory in front of him.
The bubbling jars didn't know what they were doing, but they were obviously useless, and the bottles and jars on the workbench were rotten and there was nothing.
Those instruments that looked like experiments were also rotten and rotten, damaged and damaged, and the few remaining lone seedlings didn't know what to do.
"Is this time just to listen to a piece of history? No, I'll have to think again...... By the way, I'm blindsided, aren't the guards and controllers the most precious treasures in it? ”
Ryan grinned, and suddenly felt like he had a goal!
