Chapter 104: The Swarm
The Fabius clan, who is about to take over the real power of the Night Clan's Council, is secretly on the side of the collectors?
Although I already knew that the collector was behind the scenes, I am afraid that there are a large number of top heavenly companies to support it, but the Ye Clan is not a top enterprise, cough cough, but I didn't expect that even the Ye Clan's loan shark would also come to the monster trading market to get involved.
However, 01044 was quite polite, she was definitely going to do the Collector's site, but at least she informed the local manager in advance, and told him about the risk of offending the Night, and told him to be prepared.
After all, after she finishes her errand, she can pat her ass and go back to 01 Earth, and Li Pan still has to stay here to clean up the mess of 0791.
Li Pan was also a little hesitant for a while,
"You mean that you can't suppress Gao Tianyuan too harshly, otherwise the Night Capital will be dominant in the future, and the Night Clan will be difficult to get along with?"
01044 shook his head with a smile,
"The core of politics is the rule of the majority by the minority, and when conditions permit, of course, it is necessary to eradicate all the potential dangers that pose danger as much as possible in order to deter the majority.
Peace is the plea of the weak and the gift of the strong. If you ask for my opinion, I suggest that when you use combat readiness this time, you can give due consideration to expanding the scope of your strike.
After all, whether some people actively side with the collector or bet on both ends, in order to avoid a bigger conflict, they have to know that there are consequences for going against the company. ”
Li Pan heard what she meant, that is, when he asked him to clean up Gao Tianyuan, he would also beat him up overnight.
He was just about to speak, when suddenly the car horn in 01044's hand beeped twice, and then the aura disappeared.
This monster actually failed?
Li Pan saw that she really threw away the rags, and turned out a stereo from her bag, still rubbed it in her hand, and continued to block the Internet.
Li Pan saw that she was so skillful in operation, and couldn't help asking,
"This is a one-time monster? Produced on the spot? Can I ask you what kind of skill it is? Superpowers? ”
01044 thought about it,
"Have you ever played those popular online games? Beep World? Then understand me as a magician. ”
Li Pan said that he understood,
"Oh, magic? Can you rub a fireball? Which is stronger, fireball or howitzer? Can you rub one for me? ”
01044 smiled,
"I beg forgiveness for not being able to do anything, in most places grenades are stronger. And I'm not one of those professional battlefield mages, more of a supporter.
It's just that this time the 0791 plane happens to be the territory of the Night Clan's blood clan, and there was once the leyline magic circuit of the elven civilization, and there have been several Holy Grail procurement wars, so the headquarters sent me on a business trip to assist.
By the way, that collector Beria is also a master of dark magic, well, her words, you can actually understand her as a demon, a great demon. ”
"Oh, so you can restrain her, right? So you're a demon sorcerer? ”
Seeing that Li Pan had to ask endless questions to get to the bottom of it, 01044 also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and simply submitted his resume,
"No, I was an astrologer at the Lighthouse before joining the company, and I also practiced alchemy at the Academy, and I also learned some demonology, ancient magic, elven language, and occultism in the library, so yes, I can handle most of the means that Belial can use, and I can also directly use the local ancient magic net to set up a workshop if necessary. It is not difficult to make a 'projection of monsters' with alchemy and capture the 'site'. ”
Li Pan understood again, "Oh, alchemy, right, I know, I know, the sage's stone human body refining is equivalent to exchange, isn't it?" ”
01044 looked a little surprised,
"Your Excellency actually knows that the Philosopher's Stone and the human body are refined...... Yes, I'm almost done with my materials, and I need to make as many Philosopher's Stones as possible, so the more 'temporary workers' I need to use for human alchemy, the better. If you give permission......"
Li Pan snapped his fingers,
"No problem, there is nothing else in the night capital, but there are a lot of scum, those Dongcheng will actually dare to blackmail the company and simply kill themselves, you can use it, ask Rama and them to catch a few more for you to refine."
01044 smiled and held his chest and saluted,
"Thank you for your permission."
Seeing that the other party was quite easy to speak, Li Pan asked curiously,
"01044, back to the topic just now, do you have any suggestions for the handling of the Ye's? Do we have any war-ready monsters in our company that are more suitable for restraining vampires? What if I wanted to limit the scope of the blow to the Fabius family? ”
01044 is still a light and light road,
"What were you going to use?"
Li Pan has nothing to hide,
"Let's use 'bee venom', I initially thought about sending some ninjas to poison them...... What did you do last time? And what the hell is 'bee venom'? Isn't it okay to use it indiscriminately? It's not going to wipe out the entire city, is it? ”
01044 thought for a moment and said,
"That's appropriate, don't worry, the prosthetic body of the blood clan also belongs to targeted genetic engineering, and some abilities are unique to the family, and they are also within the scope of restraint.
As for 'bee venom'...... You've naturally read the memo, so have you heard of 036 Earth specifically? ”
Li Pan shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." I haven't heard much of this plane. ”
Links to the earth server in the other world have to go through the paid line, but also need a special chip and networking license, Li Pan's purse has only been bulging in recent months, just look at Mewtwo for a recreation, how can there be that spare money to travel to another world.
01044 nodded,
"IT'S NORMAL IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT, SO DO YOU KNOW TERRA HOLDINGS?"
"Oh, you mean the money behind those vegetarians?"
Of course, Terra Holdings Li Pan knows, after all, this company is too famous.
The most famous (notorious) ultra-environmentalist organizations, the Sambogo Cult of the Earth Environment, the Alliance for Life and Health and Vegetarianism, the Pure Humanity Foundation, and so on, are all backed by Terra Holdings.
Led by this company, there are also some food companies that put out various advertisements and public welfare films on a large scale, and organize various activities to promote the concept of environmental protection, clean energy, and caring for the earth.
Of course, in fact, it's not so much that they really love the earth and the environment, but that it's all about business.
The main business of Terra Holdings is actually Terraforming, livable engineering, and planetary terraforming.
Long before the war, the generation of earth 0, the divergence point of human civilization, human beings also considered the sea of stars, the future of space development, the last generation of corporate oligarchs, invested untold resources, developed planetary terrestrial transformation technology and equipment, and developed a large number of technologies and patents.
Terra Holdings, a top company in this field, under the coordination of the Earth government at the time, specialized in concentrating resources and technology, optimizing resource allocation, and using Mars as an engineering testing ground, and was fully responsible for the behemoth of the 'Terra Project' of the New Earth Construction.
The purpose of this company's existence is to monopolize giant projects such as planetary terraforming and transformation, and to undertake the important task of building a home for interstellar humans, which is a unique super oligopoly.
At that time, Terra Holdings could be said to be the most sophisticated company deservedly, and if mankind really moved towards the sea of stars, it would definitely be the corporate empire with the highest market capitalization.
But who would have thought that the technological breakthrough would highlight an unreasonable, stable FTL engine that has not yet been pointed out.
The heavens and the earth were originally the earth, and they didn't need to be transformed, and this time, the stock price of Terra Company plummeted and almost went bankrupt.
I say 'nearly' because, after all, their technology is still genuine, and they have a lot of patents in hand. Various orbital colonies in the solar system, Europa, Mars, lunar renovation projects, and earth environmental manipulation projects are still profitable, so although they were split and reorganized after the war and squeezed out of the top three, Terra Holdings has always maintained a seat on the safety committee.
Therefore, it goes without saying that Terra Holdings is the most fond of hyping up environmental protection issues.
After all, the patents of environmental transformation technology are all in their hands, whether you are a private estate, a corporate colony ship, or an undersea science and technology park, or a vacuum industrial city, the livable transformation business of the entire universe is monopolized by Terra.
01044 Take Li Pan to the boundless garbage dump and climb up along the hills of garbage,
"036 In the process of industrialization, the earth has been systematically collapsed due to corporate wars, chemical leaks, and the abuse of pesticides, and serious pollution. So the committee half-sold and half-gave the earth to Terra, and they repaired the earth and restored the overall environment.
At that time, Terra used 036 as a model project pilot, using various super engineering and technology to transform it, in fact, it was quite effective at first, and soon built a man-made livable natural system. It's just that there was a mistake in one of the links.
It's the bees. ”
"Bees?"
01044 suddenly turned his head and asked,
"Do you know what a bee is? Your world must be extinct, right? ”
Li Panhan one, "This, I still know this, I've seen ...... on the Internet"
01044 nodded and continued to climb the garbage mountain,
"Bees play an important role in the balance of the ecological environment, through the natural pollination of bees, is the most efficient and cheap way to increase the output value of crops, in the natural system, at least three-quarters of the crops depend on the bee colony for pollination, bee colonies and plants co-evolution, and the dynamic balance of the entire ecological environment is closely related.
Once bees become extinct, many crops and plants will not be able to reproduce, and the entire agricultural ecosystem will be degraded, and even the collapse of the ecosystem will be irreversible.
Of course, with the current technology, humanity will not become extinct because of this, but in the end, it will become the world you are now, and you can only rely on synthetic industrial food to live. ”
Li Pan looked at the liquid nutrient paste packaging bag in the garbage heap, and 01044 continued,
"Bees are an indispensable part of terraforming a world that has collapsed ecosystems, but pure organisms cannot be directly released into an already heavily polluted environment, so Terra has developed the Autonomous Artificial Apoidea, a 3A autonomous artificial bee, a 'swarm' system.
3A is a very high-tech micro ADI, autonomous insect-type drone, which is composed of a large number of MEMS microsystems, which can not only act as pollinators, but also observe the overall changes in water quality, temperature, and soil environment, can provide data feedback, and is controlled by a central bee colony system, which can be networked at homing, upgraded through the cloud, updated programs, and systematically repaired and self-replicating copies by custom worker bees and nanobots in the hive. Fully automated maintenance and facilitates ecosystem upgrades.
Of course, similar ADI in addition to bees but also earthworms, ants and other styles, the specific model depends on the environment, it can be said that it is the crystallization of human civilization, and it can even be said that it is one of the top systems in the UAV products of Zhutian Company. ”
Li Pan, "But? ”
01044 has another speaker,
"However, the AAA developed by Terra was too advanced, and the technical blueprint advanced to 3A is still rated as a Level 7 military weapon system, and at that time, in order to make 036 the dimensional headquarters of Terra, they added AAA too advanced to the point of dangerous forbidden technology.
For example, for the sake of the company's business, they upgraded gene target tracking, so that AAA can conduct targeted gene selection during pollination, and only pollinate genetically modified crops produced by Terra's brands, so that other companies and weeds that have not been genetically edited will be eliminated naturally.
For example, in order to reduce loss and maintenance, they used the latest nano-scale synthetic biomaterials for the hive, and used adaptive self-evolving nanorobots, so that the bee colony can detect itself after a failure, self-evolve for the environment, and self-replicate production for production goals, completely eliminating the need for human operation and maintenance.
For example, there are many weapons companies under Terra, which will also directly use the company's advanced ADI modules as the basis for weaponization modification experiments and sales, adding various biotoxin syringes, micro radars, infrared gravitational wave sonar detection, optical invisibility, and electromagnetic interference ......"
Li Pan imagined a seventh-level ninja the size of a fly armed to the teeth, "it......"
01044 smiled bitterly, "But they are not enough, after all, the competition between the top companies is very fierce, and the top market is so big, you take it and I don't have it, so I heard that they have also upgraded the overall computing power of the bee colony system."
In order to free the AAA system from the shackles of chaos technology and establish an independent network system dedicated to Terra, without the permission of the Ethics Committee, the QVN security network was taken offline and the Gestalt logic operation module was introduced......
In short, the result was that the colony was out of control, and SCP-036 had a mass extinction. ”
At this time, they also climbed to the top of the garbage mountain and looked at the night capital that was lit up in the distance.
01044 Yu Yu said,
"It is said that there were 14 billion people at the peak of the 036 Earth, and that disaster even wiped out the local branch of our company, if the monsters of that plane were also integrated into the purification of the 'swarm'......
In short, so far, the 'door' to 036 has been strictly controlled by the Security Committee, the QVN network is blocked, and Starfleet has at least ten or more Titan-class fleets, stationed in low-earth orbit on 036, destroying everything that tries to fly out of the atmosphere. ”
Li Pan couldn't understand, "It's all like this, why don't you just give it a nuclear level??" ”
01044 Shake your head,
"Strategic nuclear bombardment and gamma-ray blasts have long been swept across the surface, but the main body of the swarm has burrowed into the earth's crust and even transformed the entire planet into a nest, and the simple rules of correction have no effect on them.
And to destroy the entire planet, it is most convenient to send the bomb to the center of the earth to detonate, otherwise you can only build a Colossus-class meteorite ship in low earth orbit.
But 036 is empty, there is no local productivity support, the hull equipment has to be imported from the heavens, the cost is too great, and the destruction of the earth also needs to go through a lot of procedures, review and approval, and now the safety committee is still ripping off, and the hull has not yet been built. ”
Li Pan looked at the lights in the distance, the steel hive-like city, and couldn't help but be in a trance.
And 01044 continued,
"However, in the war with AAA, we have also gained, they have evolved some very interesting things, and various companies are researching them, such as this 'bee venom extract', which was originally a chemical weapon designed by Terra, but after AAA's independent evolution, it has been upgraded to something that can be called 'ninth-level edge technology'.
Its main ingredient is Terra's artificially synthesized bee venom peptide, a polypeptide composed of 26 amino acid residues, which can be transformed into a highly effective anti-inflammatory substance, with hormone-like effect and no adverse reactions, with antibacterial, anti-radiation, antiviral effects, and can destroy viruses or lesions without harming normal cells.
So after gene editing, you can use 'bee venom' as a vector to attack cells carrying targeted gene fragments in turn, in short, you can poison anyone, but the other party only carries 'bee venom' and feels pain, but it will not cause death, and once it touches the target, it will be destroyed at the genetic level.
Of course, our company's technical department has also made corresponding improvements to the 'bee venom', adding specific toxins to ensure that after the completion of use, it can be degraded in the natural system with a temporary worker sacrifice, eliminating all traces and evidence, so that no one can find out what kind of synthetics you used. ”
Li Pan listened to it in a trance, 01044 also enjoyed the night view of the night capital, and waited for him to digest it,
"If it's just for the purpose of warning, the Fabius clan doesn't have any special system, and in fact, there is no need to drop the scale of the plane and exterminate the entire genetic bloodline.
I can pull an enchantment in the Night City and seal the power of the Blood Prosthetic for thirty minutes. Manager, all you have to do is take the opportunity to put 'bee venom' into the nest of the Fabius family. Try to find a knight or elder with pure 'bloodline' for the first injection, and you can empty the bloodline of the Night City in one night. ”
"It's that simple......"
Li Pan thought for a while and asked,
"Do you have that kind of enchantment for ninjas? Their power should also be a variant of the ancient elves, and it just so happens that our company has put in a batch of their cultivation secrets for your reference. ”
"As long as it's based on the principle of magic, there's no problem, but I have one condition."
01044 refers to the 'handkerchief' on Li Pan's chest,
"This monster, can you lend it to me for research?"
Li Pan was stunned for a moment, took out the 'handkerchief' and handed it to her.
"Have you ever seen a ...... 'monster' like this?"
"Thank you."
01044's eyes stared at the talisman on the 'handkerchief', nodded, and shook his head,
"It's a bit like ancient seal characters, but I've never seen such magic, how the hell do you engrave rules on the 'strings'......
Your Excellency, I wonder if you will transfer this to me? You make a price, and I'm willing to give you seven extra keys. ”
"That's not good, just seven silver keys, I'll brush them back in a while."
As soon as Li Pan twisted his fingers, the 'handkerchief' seemed to be magically returned to his hand, this thing was actually real. Soul binding, seeing that everyone is a colleague in the company, and they will have to get along in the future, Li Pan will not play the trick of selling the dog and waiting for the dog to run back by itself.
01044 looked reluctant, but there was no way,
"Okay, I'm personally very interested in the otherworldly magic script, but I can't see the principle for a while with this prosthetic, can you write down the three spell marks engraved on the monster and send me a fax to study it. Don't make a mistake, I pay a key for one word. ”
Li Pan looked at the nine talismans on the 'handkerchief', and then looked at 01044,
"Deal."
