Chapter 605: Universe BUG: Zerg (please give me a vote)
The people staying at the console, as well as the leader 343 Guilty Spark whose authority was restricted, were quietly listening to the intelligent program on the console telling information about the creature imprisoned in the forbidden land - the Flood.
These news frightened the Halo humans who heard them for the first time, and made 343 Guilty Spark feel confused.
Guilty Spark, who has lost a lot of memory, feels like he has fought those guys?
The humans in the Halo Universe wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, thinking that those Flood Demons were so terrifying, and even more thinking about whether the people of the Dragon Kingdom were going to the Forbidden Land to study those Flood Demons, should they stop them!
The Flood is what humans call the Zerg.
The original Flood was discovered by humans, as told by the artificial intelligence in Special Zone 04.
It's just that Special Zone 04 doesn't know that this Flood is a race created by the Pioneers to test whether humans can accept the inheritance.
The Flood Demons are very powerful and have the ability to absorb, infect, and evolve.
The way it grows and reproduces will make them incompatible with any natural ecosystem, and it is the enemy of all intelligent life in nature.
The Flood are extremely adaptable and change their hosts to suit the species' current needs.
They can parasitize all organic life forms with calcium as their skeleton.
And when they develop to a certain extent, they can even parasitize and infect technology, vehicles, and even space.
During the long war between the Ancient Humans and the Prophet Alliance against the Flood, the Forerunners discovered the Human Alliance. After feeling the danger, they immediately stole the Ancient Human Alliance.
After they defeated the Human Alliance, they also learned about the dangers of the Flood.
At that time, the Forerunners called the Flood a "horrible parasite", and then this terrifying parasite gradually evolved into a group that could threaten the Forerunners and life in the universe - the Zerg.
This thing is extremely BT, a bug race in the universe.
They can survive in temperatures ranging from minus 75 degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius, can survive in extreme environments such as underwater, and can adapt to various environments on all known inhabited planets.
All Flood biomass is a "super cell" composed of a unique, undifferentiated substance that transmits information and coordinates cellular assembly like traditional nerve cells.
It is also capable of coordinating functions and functions with other cells, and can be arranged to mimic any body organ, all of which are necessary for the Flood.
The combination of these qualities has led some to call it a "thinking muscle."
This thinking muscle retains the most primitive instinct: infection and reproduction!
The reproduction of Zerg is to infect the host, relying on the infected host to complete the iteration and evolution of genes.
The Flood utilizes every resource of the host's body, especially its calcium reserves, and the parasite's own cells build and strengthen upon the host's framework, thus producing one of the various feral Flood forms.
The entire process of Zerg infection, from initial death to complete control of a completely mutated host body, only takes a few seconds.
And the infection process is not limited to living hosts, dead organisms are also susceptible to infection.
As long as the host has not been decomposed to the point where the body and nervous system have completely deteriorated and festered, the Flood will infect and transform the host.
However, this is not the most terrifying thing about the Flood.
The most powerful thing about the Flood is absorbing any useful information in the memory center of the host's brain and realizing the functions of the Zerg Internet.
For example, the Flood can absorb the host's combat strategies and technical knowledge, and infect the deepest consciousness in the host's memory, which will be retained for the "Flood" to use.
Although some memories linger, traces of the original thinking are long gone.
When the intelligent program told about the Flood (Zerg), humans were panicked and thought about how they should face it when the ancient humans hundreds of thousands of years ago were unable to defeat it.
"Didn't the Forerunners have a particularly effective way to exterminate them?"
"Weapons such as high temperature and plasma can exterminate individual individuals, but they cannot exterminate the Zerg on the entire planet. When the Zerg infections spread to the planet, they will quickly become part of the ecological environment..."
Ancient humans, prophets and even the Forerunners have been at war with the Zerg for many years, but there is no effective way to exterminate the Zerg. Only the aura created by the Forerunners can starve those difficult guys to death by destroying the Zerg food (all life in the galaxy).
These cruel histories made those present feel heavy.
After hearing that the Forerunners had made mistakes in launching the Halo Project, everyone was sad.
The Flood destroyed by the halo also destroyed the powerful Forerunner civilization, causing the Forerunner race, the overlord of the galaxy, to almost disappear.
"We have to face them eventually. From what you said, Zerg exists in all Halo zones. We can't guarantee whether the Covenant has discovered these things or whether they have spread."
"Humans, the forbidden place is very dangerous. Do you still want to go?"
"Go! Just because we know that the Zerg is dangerous, we need to obtain its specimens and study ways to deal with them!"
Seeing the determination of human beings, 343 Guilty Spark was stuck again for a while, and then slowly said: "The Forbidden Land is very dangerous. Ten thousand years ago, due to equipment failure there, some Flood samples in the quarantine area were leaked. Although I
Use technical means to seal off that place, but there is no guarantee whether all the Zerg species will starve to death."
Guilty Spark felt that these humans would become food for the Zerg if they went there. It would also be able to absolve itself of responsibility by telling what happened in that place.
"Containment failed?"
"What's going on? How could there be such a big loophole in such a tight place?"
"The device that holds the Flood needs to be replaced every ten thousand years. I have safely controlled the Flood nine times. Unfortunately, I did not expect them to be so cunning."
"Humans, I have told you about the dangers of the Forbidden Land. If you go to the Forbidden Land to explore and are infected, I will not hesitate to activate the special zone defense system to eliminate all possible risks."
"We believe in our own strength, and we will definitely be able to defeat those guys!"
"Humans, please be sure to take protective measures, and...you need to install some special protective measures on your brains to prevent you from being parasitized and protect the secrets in your brains."
"This requires preparation."
Needless to say, Guilty Sparks said that before they came, they implanted multiple protection methods into the power armor and various armors of the soldiers who performed the mission.
After the soldiers died unexpectedly, or after the soldiers actively initiated the self-destruction program, the device arranged in the power armor would release a terrifying current, completely reducing the human brain and nerve tissue into charcoal that could not extract memory signals.
This device is integrated with a sealed biocomputer implanted under the skin and will not be intruded or interfered by any external electromagnetic or other information.
Although this is inhumane, it is a necessary price to protect human secrets after being infected by the Zerg.
Chen Mu had also clearly informed Long Guo about the technical means and methods used by soldiers to destroy brain nerves.
Now the Dragon Kingdom is accelerating the production of these equipment to ensure that the Zerg will not absorb the knowledge and memories of the human world.
Seeing that humans had actually made a lot of preparations, the Sinful Spark lights flashed, and after a while they said: "Okay, humans! Since you are going to die, I won't stop you, please come with me."
"Before you enter the Forbidden Land, you need to build a sealed laboratory and make multiple preparation plans to destroy the Zerg specimens. Only in this way can I give you permission to the Forbidden Land and a map of the Forbidden Land to help you complete detailed experiments.
.”
The Forbidden Land laboratory where the Flood Demons (Zerg) are imprisoned covers an area of dozens of acres. It also contains certain devices that interfere with mental scanning. Obtaining this information can save them a lot of time.
"Yes, our research base only needs to be moved from the battleship."
Guilty Spark: "..."
It always feels like humans are prepared.
Thirty minutes later, the experimental cabin specially made for studying Zerg was transported from the battleship.
When this big thing with a length and width of 300 meters, a height of 50 meters, and a weight of 600,000 tons was placed on the ground, 343 Guilty Sparks had their machines jammed.
It scanned the safety of the device's experimental cabin and found that the thing in front of it was a perfect cage.
A perfect work of art from a captivity experiment.
In order to verify the stability, it even used laser weapons to decorate and test the stable structure of the sealed experimental cabin.
When he saw that the laser cannon only destroyed a layer of paint on the periphery of the experimental cabin, it became truly silent.
"Humans, I have to say that you have done a perfect job in handling the experimental leakage."
Can the experimental cabin be imperfect?
This is simply a crazy experimental cabin. It is not used to study Zerg, it should be used to study gods!
This is a bit of a compliment to Chen Mu.
In order to ensure that the experiment could be carried out safely and that the Zerg specimens would not be leaked, Chen Mu's sealed experimental chamber only underwent special processing.
For example, the materials inside are of the highest level of human technology, and the strong inscriptions can also prevent violent damage inside and outside the experimental cabin.
Due to the stacking of various materials and built-in energy protection, the experimental cabin cannot be destroyed even if it is bombarded from the front by a nuclear bomb with a yield of tens of millions.
Internal defense is also done to the extreme.
For example, equipped with high and low temperature sterilization devices.
The internal temperature of the experimental cabin can be raised to 100,000 degrees within ten seconds to achieve sterilization of test products, and ultra-low temperature freezing of minus 235 degrees can be achieved within thirty seconds.
They can also use experimental bionic robots for remote control in the experimental cabin, specifically designed to deal with biological experiments with high infection rates.
In addition to these plans, there are battleships overhead, always on guard against this dangerous experimental cabin.
If the experimental target is found to be leaked, the warship above will quickly burn the area within 10 kilometers to ashes.
In short, the experimental standards of this experimental cabin are higher than imagined.
343 Guilty Spark has no legitimate reason to stop humans from conducting experiments at this moment.
"Since you are so well prepared, please prepare to go in. To ensure that the Flood does not leak out, please pay attention to these protective measures. If anyone is found to be infected, I will immediately use weapons to destroy the infected body."
Buzz~
Chen Mu and several soldiers who collected living Zerg specimens wore full-body protective gear and strode into the experimental base with layers of protection!
