The "urge" from the Tactical Intelligence Office was not light. Professor Lan did not continue chatting with Ronan, but very considerately asked him to report to Colonel Hong Shuang as soon as possible.
Ronan didn't know whether his heart-to-heart talk was over, and what kind of results Professor Lan had achieved.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to ask directly. After a brief goodbye, he went to the Tactical Intelligence Department.
On the way, he recalled the conversation just now. He vaguely felt that Professor Lan was conducting some personality tests on him and might also want to find out more about his family and ethnic background.
This is okay, heart-to-heart conversations will inevitably involve these things. Besides, in the past four months, Aunt Kui has created a fairly complete set of life experiences and background for him, so it will definitely be no problem to deal with him face to face.
The problem is that the Tianyuan Empire is also an information and authority society. Everyone's life trajectory from birth to death will be completely backed up in the database, and lies cannot withstand inspection.
Perhaps, the "Tianyuan Mirror System" will add a non-existent migrant population to the original background, and at the same time modify the memories of all "Test Time and Space" characters?
Isn’t it a bit unnecessary?
Can’t you assume an identity that already exists?
Thinking about it, with "Aunt Kwai" as his backing, he will only perform better.
Ronan frowned, then relaxed, not wanting to think about it further for the time being. In this virtual environment, doubting the "system" is somewhat redundant.
Now he would rather spend a little more brain power to conduct a new assessment of the Tianyuan survivors of the light-containing galaxy of this era.
He could barely understand that after struggling for eleven thousand years and making countless failed attempts, the Tianyuan survivors were frightened and familiar with the vicious environment, fearful and tired.
But it can only be conceptually understood, and there is definitely no real experience.
Therefore, Ronan didn't know how this project, which was at least spearheaded by Lord Rongjing and was infinitely close to "playing with fire and burning oneself", would be positioned in the current Tianyuan Empire society.
Perhaps, he should read a few papers on sociology; or ask a few more people to see what the penetration rate of "Monnet" is.
Lieutenant Meng Xin is a good conversation partner.
Well, I'm afraid I don't have any free time now.
Ronan took a deep breath. The information that Lieutenant Meng Xin had just sent to him made it somewhat difficult for him to focus. Therefore, the issue of "the dangerous attitude of the Tianyuan remnants towards the poisonous environment" was temporarily stopped here. He needed to focus on
Back to more realistic tasks.
He dug out the newly obtained information and looked at it again. Of course, he had to compare those familiar pictures now.
Written and video materials were studied.
At a rough glance, the object shown in the data picture looks like a red ant.
The specific biological characteristics are of course different from the similar species on the other side of the earth that Ronan knew, but the presence or absence of compound eyes, antennae, labial bases, abdominal segments and other structures has never been a problem. What really attracted Ronan's attention was
These red ants have translucent bodies that seem to have flowing firelight, and dark spots like mud spots that seem to be randomly stained on them.
Looking more closely, these "dark spots" seem to penetrate all the way into the body of the red ant, making the originally translucent body even more turbid.
"Bacteria... parasitic red ants? Can you come up with such a thing?"
According to the information sent by Lieutenant Meng Xin, last year, the team that was promoted to the Normal University published a series of papers on the research on the parasitism of "Bacteria".
"Bacteria" is just one of the by-products of the Tianyuan Empire's many years of in-depth research on extraterritorial species.
Although at this stage, everyone basically has a unified view of extraterritorial species, they are alien species that broke down barriers and penetrated from outside the "local universe". However, in academia, the origin of extraterritorial species is still unclear.
Whether it comes from another universe that is completely different from the basic rules of the "local universe"; or whether it is a creation that is attached to the plane and demiplane of the "local universe" that no one has yet discovered - scientists in related fields are quarreling fiercely.
Knock each other's brains out.
Of course, theories are theories and experiments are experiments. Although the general direction is not conclusive, the influence of the environment of light-containing galaxies and the fierce battle with extraterrestrial species for more than 10,000 years are enough to make light-containing galaxies become "extraterritorial" in the central star region.
research”.
Many of the latest achievements in configuration, layout, creation, and related systems are based on the research and analysis of extraterritorial species.
Comparatively speaking, "Corenozoa" is only an insignificant and small achievement among them. It was separated from some extraterritorial species and has the ability to penetrate and destroy the space-time structure, and is a wonderful bacterial group with limited distribution across time and space.
Under normal circumstances, they cannot obtain energy directly from the outside world, and must parasitize on extraterritorial species, extracting energy for reproduction and expansion, but they also help these extraterritorial species gain the ability to "displace time and space" that they should not have.
Researchers from the Tianyuan Empire isolated the "Bacteria", mainly because they wanted to use this bacterial group to mark the secret curled space-time structure.
The research direction of the Shengzhan team is similar, however, they are parasitizing "Bacteria" into local cosmic organisms in an attempt to expand the boundaries of the bacterial community.
This research has gone quite far, and there are already real objects like "zombie ants".
However, since there is a "zombie" prefix, it proves one thing
These "zombie ants" are lifeless.
According to the thesis statement, although the parasitized red ant has some characteristics of extraterritorial species and has the ability to "remain" in a high temperature environment for a long time and can be used as a host, it has long lost its vitality and can only be parasitized by "Bacteria"
The nervous system is still functioning instinctively. After being stimulated, it will have a stress response and crawl at a low speed.
The successfully parasitized "Bacteria" retain their activity, but because the energy environment to maintain their survival is too high, and they are of the "lying flat" type, they do not have the ability to control their hosts, so there will be problems with their growth and expansion.
Will die soon.
Through experiments, the Shengzhan team found that in high-temperature areas where geothermal heat and lava are abundant, the "Bacteria" can obtain more energy from the host, so the activity is increased, the survival time is extended, and the speed of the host's stress crawling is also increased.
However, it is impossible for "Bacteria" to control the host's direction of action.
Only "zombie ants" in this state can be treated as special materials with some "extraterritorial species" properties.
Moreover, "zombie ants" are naturally capable of camouflage. After entering the earth's core environment, there is a high probability that the alien species on the opposite side will think that this inconspicuous thing belongs to the same kind; the poisonous living creatures are not particularly sensitive to inanimate objects;
Although the poisonous environment is destructive, these "little zombies" are already dead and don't care.
As long as the subsequent supply can keep up, it is very competitive for early detection.
Lieutenant Meng Xin was able to think of such a very special "material", which can only be said to be his quick thinking and excellent professionalism.
Ronan was very impressed.
But these are not the reasons why he feels "super familiar".
"The current activity status should be reasonable?"
In the operation room of the Tactical Intelligence Department, Ronan looked at the "zombie ants" crawling all over the table and was able to roughly determine the direction. Sometimes he simply rolled forward in a group, but the speed was still barely enough. Finally, he took a long breath and turned to look at Meng.
Officer Xin.
"It should be more active in a high-temperature environment, but it doesn't look like ants..."
"Let's go to the 'stove' first. You can adjust it again." Ronan said casually, and then asked seemingly casually, "Speaking of it, how can the parasite of the red ants be developed by the 'Bacteria'?
Properties of high temperature?"
When they really enter high-temperature geothermal and lava areas, red ants, which are just ordinary insects, will turn to ashes in a few seconds.
"Bacteria" have no ability to protect their hosts and subsequently die.
"it's here."
Lieutenant Meng Xin knew that Ronan didn't have time to read the paper carefully, so he specifically found the most critical one, pointed out a paragraph of the paper to him, and explained orally, "The normal team used 'double parasitism' to
The Hell Tyrant's root marrow essence was transferred to successfully parasitize ordinary red ants. That is, it first parasitized into the root marrow essence of the Hell Tyrant, and then introduced the growing hyphae into the red ants..."
"Tyrant of Hell?" Ronan interrupted Lieutenant Meng Xin's words. At this time, he did not need to hide, his eyelids were twitching, "This is... cough, I mean, this is equivalent to pulling the bones of a great king.
Marrow-sucking? Isn’t this too expensive?”
"The laboratory methods will definitely be more luxurious, and adjustments will be made later. The paper mentioned at the beginning of this year that newer technology can also achieve 'double parasitism' through the radiation magnetization of the root marrow of the Hell Tyrant.
This is also the main method of producing materials at present - we are lucky and have all the key pre-materials, but the red ants are temporarily cultivated from the portable gene bank."
"No wonder it was served so quickly."
After many rounds of experiments, Meng Xin and Ronan became more and more familiar with each other. While explaining, he also said casually, "Speaking of which, the key to completing this series of experiments is that the Hell Tyrant was twenty years ago.
Shifan, Junior Brother Liang Lu, and of course your father’s battle results at the avant-garde 4 relay station.”
"Ah, is that so?" Ronan looked surprised.
But this emotional expression is not just due to fate twenty years ago, but also a coincidence that may last longer.
He looked at the "zombie ants" crawling slowly on the operating table and said softly, "So, these little things have the characteristics of the tyrants of hell in their bodies?"
"Yes, this also gives them an extra layer of cover in the Earth's core environment."
"But it also has to go down into a high-temperature environment...Have you considered its scope of application?"
Suddenly, Colonel Hong Shuang's voice pierced his ears. He still rode the floating commander's chair and silently entered the operation room; his attitude was also always cold and stern.
The time has come to finalize the plan.
Ronan didn't really listen to Lieutenant Meng Xin's explanation. Most of his brain was thinking about one thing.
Meow, it looks more and more like it!
Although there are quite a few differences in appearance, they are both ants, both resistant to heat and high temperatures, and can also be linked to the ability to corrode time and space... including a high degree of compatibility with the Tyrant of Hell.
When these elements are combined together, don't they become living Vulcan Ants?
