2. Seventeen Moments in Spring (16)
"It's strange, of course, it's a strange thing, young master. Nyatoratip has completely sealed off the surrounding area, let alone a living person, even an ant can't get in. How did you get in?"
DeKir shook his head vigorously, his moonlit face not only curious, but also intensely wary.
"Silicon-based life. β
β......β
The words blurted out silenced Dekyll.
"The basis of inorganic life is a device that can control the forces between microscopic matter, which is the root of that guy's special skill - the 'boiling mirror world' that can reorganize and transform matter and energy. The individuals known here as 'Nyatladip and 'Yog Sotos' have applied this ability to silicon, giving them the ability to 'memorize and' intellectually, analyze and execute instructions, and master the ability to evolve and improve efficiency. Eventually, it evolved into a life form that was based on silicon to form matter, which is silicon-based life. β
Roland's words overlapped with the flapping of the wings of inorganic lifeforms.
"Once the truth is known, the ecosystem and weaknesses of inorganic life can be guessed. They are very similar in composition to crystals and similar in nature. They take advantage of this characteristic to vibrate their bodies at high frequencies and send ultrasound waves instead of ears, eyes, and mouths to explore and communicate with the terrain, just like dolphins and bats. So as long as it's like thisβ"
Raising his finger to the silicon-based wall of life that shimmered red, a faint cyan light flashed, and Nyatolatip, who was standing in front of Roland, suddenly became confused, as if immersed in pain, flying everywhere until it crashed and fell to the ground. Those who barely got up from the ground also lost their sense of direction, scurrying and bumping around, and finally developed into a big brawl that tore and attacked each other.
"Is it emitting ultrasound waves of the same wavelength as silicon-based life? Huhu, although it is an ultra-high frequency sound wave that cannot be heard by the human ear, is the same as a deafening noise to Nyattolatip. Oh. By the way, the same goes for beasts with keen senses. β
Uncovering the answer to why Roland noticed this in one breath, De Keil, who sneered from the depths of his throat, finally showed a serious expression at this moment.
"But I still don't understand a little, according to the records, including this time. You only see inorganic life forms three times. No matter how clever he is, how can he get information from a limited number of contacts to this point? You must know that even if you are a genius scholar, without samples, equipment and relevant professional knowledge, it may not be possible to peek into the secrets of inorganic life in your lifetime. How did you know that? Did you understand it yourself? Or did you already know it before?"
The posture was still relaxed, but De Kiel's eyes became extremely sharp.
"The reason is simple, if you see the hell of that kind of thing once, you can never forget it. Just close your eyes and those things will appear. No matter how dull it is, after all these years. You should have some clues. β
Roland turned around with a grim expression and confronted Dekyll, barely moving except for a slight narrowing of his eyes.
After a few seconds of confrontation, Roland asked:
"The whereabouts have been exposed, and silicon-based life can't help much, in this case, can I hear your explanation of this incident?"
"Uh-huh. If your heartbeat rate goes up, then I won't tell you honestly. β
"You. No, what is your purpose? If it was that guy's order, there would never be a requirement to allow you to make such a big deal while acting in secret. β
Judging by all the signs that have been revealed so far, the series of events in the village of Tears is clearly the masterpiece of the consortium. The purpose is mostly for the monsters lying on the ground, but the chaos in front of them reveals a very different intention. To put it bluntly, behind the consortium's attempt to erase the monster, there are other people who skillfully disguise the means and purpose. I want to escalate the situation to achieve some kind of goal.
can play tricks under Li Lin's nose, and the other party is obviously not an ordinary person. Most of them are quite familiar with the inside affairs of the consortium, and have a lot of advanced knowledge of magic and technology, and they have a lot of military power. He skillfully used the consortium and Titans to achieve his own goals - this man was not ordinary tricky.
Could it be De Geir? Although his actions so far have not shown any of the aforementioned tendencies, it does not prove that he is innocent. Not to mention that he also did something to the honey badger and wanted to kill people.
"What the hell is going on, tell me as it is. β
"In love, I should tell you and you that we can have a good and in-depth exchange of information in bed, if you will. Not this time. As for whether you can force me to say it, I'm afraid it's hard to say. β
Before the words fell, the silicon-based flying insects that had been messing around before filled the space again, and the sound of flapping their wings became louder.
"Counting on quantity to make up for deficiencies?"
"I'm not naΓ―ve enough to do this, since I can do ultrasound at a specific frequency in a directional way, diffuse radiation is no problem. As long as they can keep an eye on the door, they can be considered to have completed the task. β
More tentacles protruded from Dekill's back, and horns in the shape of rabbit ears and goats emerged from the top of his head.
"Because of the tight schedule, I had to take some simple and crude measures-"
The shrill sound spread through the alley, and seven or eight tentacles stabbed at the alien spread on the ground together, and the barely regenerated leg kicked the ground to avoid the blow, and the tentacles slashed across the wall, and with a "boom", the wall turned into dust and scattered to the ground. Before the dust could hit the ground, the crystals of the flames pierced through the smoke, turned in the air and fell to the ground again, a huge explosion instantly engulfed the half-destroyed village, and a shadow that jumped into the air in the firelight was pierced by a beam of light.
Snort-
White steam erupted from Dekyll's back, and as the heat was removed from his body, the reddish crystalline tentacles gradually dimmed.
"There's even a laser, Dekyll, who are you-"
"There's no need to be surprised to be like that, I'm just more adaptable than the rest of the team, and it's just a piece of cake to make incomplete changes based on the needs of the battlefield like this. β
Each member of the Seven Original Sins has the strength to suppress or even destroy a country, but it is precisely because of their overpower and character flaws that they enter the battle form. The outcome of the battles was invariably the complete destruction of the enemy's forces and territory. In terms of results, there is no problem in applying it to general warfare at the level of a world war, but it is obviously too much to deal with limited wars and emergencies of low intensity, and it is difficult to adapt to the complex and changeable battlefield environment.
In De Kiel, however, there are no such problems. As the only member of the Seven Original Sins with the ability to "partially transform", he is fully capable of adjusting the size and form of his strength according to the battlefield environment.
Meanwhile. The ability to "feel the manipulation" also continues to play a role.
A feeling of weakness poured down from the top of her head, blurred vision, strong tinnitus accompanied by vertigo bursts, and the honey badger girl who tried to launch a surprise attack from behind fell to her knees on the ground and vomited violently, and Roland's face became worse and worse.
"It's not your cup to disturb your opponent's feelings with sound waves, that's my specialty. β
With the "Rabbit Horn" at full power, it is difficult to even stand, let alone fight. In the situation that the whole body is covered with weapons and there is support on the side, it still does not show the slightest flaw. De Kiel's caution is evident.
It's not enough.
From humans. De Kier's lesson is that "until the opponent dies, there must be no slackness." β
The "Jackal", high-frequency cutting, induction missile, and laser launch ports are all aimed at the alien, and there will be no one in the way this time.
"Kill...... Kill ......"
The xenomorph lying on the ground and struggling made a hoarse sound, and I don't know if it was because the nose and mouth, the constituent organs used to take place, had split, or because of the extremely high killing intent and resentment, the sound that came out of the blood-foaming mouth was extremely hoarse and terrifying.
"Kill you! Kill you! I just want to live quietly! I just want to be with them! Because of you bastards! Make me like this!!"
A curse full of sorrow spat out of a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a voice full of hatred trembled in the atmosphere.
"Yes, yes, that's a relief. β
A look of annoyance. De Kill began to exert himself.
However,
"Let him continue. β
Standing in front of the aliens, the boy said.
The voice was quiet.
There is no imposition of rigidity. But it has a "weight" that makes people have to listen.
β......β
Even De Geir. There was also a thought of retreating for a moment, but the absolute priority of the command still prevailed over the impulse.
Flames erupted, and twenty induction-guided missiles were launched at the same time.
An ultra-high-speed missile that does not use infrared, radio, or laser as a means of guidance, but purely uses the user's brain quantum waves as a guide and sets the detonation time, and relies on burning metal hydrogen to generate propulsion, can be regarded as a missile version of the induction gun.
Use this to contain Roland. Destroying the real body with a laser - this is Dekyr's tactic. Fifteen flames pierced the honey badger girl and the mother and daughter huddled on the street corner shivering, 5 missiles blocked the possible counterattack route, and the tentacles that had already been stored up lit up.
Depicting a snake-like trajectory, the missile plunged into the ground and exploded, and the laser beam was fired at the same time.
"How is that possible?!"
An almost screaming exclamation came from De Kiel's mouth.
The scene of the explosion, which involved the surrounding houses, was a mess. But it wasn't the charred human body lying on the scorched black earth, everyone was standing in place, and it was Nyathoratipu who was twisted and shattered in the flames.
The missiles and beams all deviated from the target, and the firepower that was supposed to annihilate the witnesses was all hit in the encirclement net of the inorganic life.
"How so? This is impossible!"
DeKir looked wavering, and then fired more induction missiles, and the already cooled beam muzzle burst into light again.
It was just an instant, and the roar rang out again, and the inorganic lifeforms near the point of impact were once again smashed to the ground.
This is simply unreasonable, not to mention the induction missile, it is almost impossible to deflect the laser. Although theoretically speaking, laser is also a type of electromagnetic wave, and it has wave-particle duality, and it is possible to deflect it by using strong electromagnetic fields. But the output power of that magnetic field is completely astronomical, and the strong electromagnetic field of hundreds of megatesla of neutron stars can deflect the laser light used for transmission a little, and the gravitational field of the sun can only deflect the starlight for 1.7 seconds (angle unit seconds). The idea of refracting lasers with mirrors and electromagnetic shields, as in some science fiction works, is simply unrealistic, unless a force field strong enough to distort space - such as black holes and the level of space phase shift defense - that can make the laser deviate so much at this distance.
No energy response was detected at the scene, no matter how small. No matter how short the time is, a force field that can distort space will always have an effect, but no trace of it will be detected by any means of detection.
If it weren't for the interference of the beam, there was clearly only one answer.
"Isn't it ...... Electronic Interference (ECM)?"
The easiest way to miss an opponent's shot is to make it unobservable, or to make a mistake. Things like camouflage, emitting smoke all fall into this category. If you want to deceive detection methods such as radar and infrared. The only way to disturb it is to release electromagnetic waves. In modern warfare, the confrontation in the field of electronics can be described as the most cutting-edge and cutting-edge front, and the interference particle dispersal device developed by the defense forces is also an electronic jamming device in the strict sense.
"Crystals. That is, silicon-based substances have the characteristics of energy storage and reaction to electromagnetic fields, and will release pulse signals, crystal oscillators are made according to this principle, and are widely used in radar navigation systems. And you use the crystals in your body, that is, the diagonal on your head, to release electromagnetic waves and ultrasound waves to distract the enemy's senses, and at the same time to seek and aim. β
Roland took a deep breath and raised his right hand. The ring on the index finger is shining.
"Once it's debunked, it becomes a pointless trick. β
"Hahahaha! I see, you obviously said that you could see through Nya Toratipu before, but I didn't think that even the 'rabbit horns' had been seen through I was really stupid, hehehe, hahahaha!!"
Dekyll clutched his forehead and laughed wildly, and the silicon-based life around him began to gradually retreat.
"Come to think of it, I kind of understand why he would be so interested in you. This shuddering rate of growth, this keen sensibility. Maybe he was born into this world to catch up with that one! I can no longer fight with the naΓ―ve idea that 'if you fight seriously, you can solve it' and 'control the killing range as much as possible'. β
The wild laughter stopped, and Dekyll looked around with an expressionless cold handsome beauty.
Gadagada, Gada.
Strange sounds began to echo in the alley, and soon Roland realized what it was, and his face changed.
It was the sound of glass trembling.
On the ground, on the window frame, on his ring, on inorganic lifeformsβall objects made of silicon are trembling.
"You know what? Although electromagnetic waves can interfere, it is not easy to defend against them, especially high-power output electromagnetic waves. The diameter is 140 cm, and the detection range is 400 km. A vacuum-tube radar with a peak output of 30 kilowatts can roast rabbits dozens of meters away. At this distance, how sour it is to be irradiated by 300 kilowatts of electromagnetic waves, do you want to experience it?"
With a cruel smile, De Kill asked.
In response to his invitation, the surrounding glass chirped like a laugh - a precursor to the release of high-intensity magnetic waves. In the next moment, the heat that boils the blood and cooks the brain and marrow will sweep through the entire space.
"You'd better stop. β
The words of understatement fell overhead, and the agitation of silicon-based materials subsided.
Roland looked up and saw a silver-haired young man in a long robe standing on the roof of the house in the distance. With a bookish face, slightly curly silver hair, and gentle eyes, the book in his hand is spread out, and every action and component exudes an aura of kindness.
However.
At the feet of youth.
Flowers and plants withered at a rate visible to the naked eye, insects and birds fell from the sky, and rats that had rushed out of the ground fell foaming at the mouth after only a few steps.
Countless dead leaves scattered and fluttered, covering up the insects, birds and animals that had turned into corpses, and the young man standing in the center of the bleak landscape was like a beautiful god of death.
The name of the Grim Reaper is called Rage, one of the seven original sins, the 'Wrathful' Rage. (To be continued......)
