Chapter 330: Guarding, Fourteen Years and Collectibles
Observation room.
The Red Queen and the White Queen, wearing the same black shirt and knee-length skirt, stood in front of the hatch of the observation room and waited patiently.
Rebecca and Alexia, who always seemed to be dressed in white coats, were standing next to Sui Bian, who was wearing formal clothes.
At this moment, the large holographic screen in front of them showed Constantine who continued to sweep away the aliens with his bare hands, and in the upper left corner of the screen, "2126/04/14/NRC10:22 (NRC, New Raccoon City time)" was displayed.
” words.
By this calculation, Rebecca, who was born in 1980, and Alexia, who was born in 1971, should be "old ladies" between 146 and 155 years old. However, instead of being "old and lustful", they are still in their early twenties.
appearance.
After all, Umbrella's nanotechnology has long been proficient. In addition, four years ago, Umbrella obtained the biotechnology mastered by the administrator from the memory storage device named Merck?
The magnitude has increased, and now, there are very few cases of natural death.
With the blessing of various technologies and the delaying potion of Blood Manhua, Rebecca's appearance and figure are almost the same as when she was just recruited to Umbrella by Sui Bian, but more mature.
As for Alexia, who has been perfectly integrated with the T-Veronica virus, her body is not in the category of ordinary people at all. In theory, she can obtain "immortality" without the help of any technology or medicine.
Finally there is Constantine.
The true identity of this "Astarte" was the commander-in-chief of the Guards of Sui Bian, who commanded a total of six thousand Guards.
Although Constantine is one of the most powerful warriors outside the original body, his height and physique should not be the same. In fact, this is because Constantine accepted the "Knight Guards" who personally held swords from Rebecca and Alexia.
"Chemical surgery.
An Astartes will go through three stages before reaching adulthood.
The first stage is for Umbrella to select the best adapters among hundreds of millions of people between the ages of 14 and 16. Then, these adapters will be implanted into the G glands of each legion.
.
In the second stage, the adaptors will undergo the most rigorous and cruel training, and they will also need to receive the most comprehensive cultural education and be regularly injected with super serum to "strengthen their bodies."
The third stage is a fourteen-day period of 25 transformation surgeries, allowing the adaptor to completely transform into a real Astartes. After that, there is the familiar training phase for new recruits.
However, Constantine's transformation into a "guard" was based on the adult Astartes, and four more procedures were added, namely "nano glands", "tendon coils", "tungsten steel skeleton" and "
Black Carapace".
"Nano glands" are glandular tissues that are cultivated like a "factory" based on the administrator's nanotechnology and Umbrella's biotechnology.
When an Astartes who has completed the Guarding process eats normally, or in an emergency, swallows various "coarse grains", especially metals, the gland will automatically produce nanorobots and store excess robots.
Into the gland, it greatly improves the "excretion" power, self-healing power and defense power of Astartes.
This is why when the abnormally acidic blood splashed onto Constantine's body, it only caused a reddish color on the skin.
"Tendon Coil" is a metal coil named "Ares" by Alexia implanted in the tendon of the Guardian Astartes, allowing it to contract with incredible force.
, amplifying the power to a level beyond the reach of ordinary space warriors.
"Tungsten Steel Skeleton", as the name suggests, is a layer of tungsten steel wrapped around the bones. In this way, terms such as bone cracks, fractures, and bone fragments will basically not be used on the body of the Guards Astartes.
As for the "black carapace", when it is cultivated in the culture tank, it looks like a black plastic film. When it "matures", it will be cut into several pieces and directly implanted under the skin of the torso of the Guardian Astartes.
.
Within a few hours after the implantation is completed, the black carapace tissue will grow rapidly and "spread" the nerve bundles. After another two months of "maturity period", the exclusive powered armor or "biological exoskeleton" can be connected.
”, achieving the true sense of “unity between human and armor”.
The "slots" on Constantine's skin are the external access points to the black carapace.
However, the surgical risks of tungsten steel skeleton are extremely high, and the nano-gland will produce an extremely strong rejection reaction, so it needs to be "tailor-made" and the procedure is complicated.
Therefore, the cost of the operation to become a guard is also very high, and Rebecca and Alexia need to be personally responsible for each guard who undergoes the surgery. However, if all 6,000 guards are completed, then they will
It is an existence between the Primarch and the Astartes.
Although facing the original body is still the result of being defeated, facing the Astartes can easily defeat one against ten or one against a hundred. Of course, with Sui Bian here, the Guards will never be able to fight against the Astartes.
Enmity, but at this moment Astartes is most suitable for "unit of measurement".
The time required to complete the four operations depends on the person. For example, Constantine took a full forty-two days, and after completing the operation, Constantine also ushered in "secondary growth", making it difficult to observe from the appearance alone.
, you can distinguish him from ordinary Astartes.
Return to the present.
"That's good." After listening to the report of the two top researchers, Sui Bian nodded and ordered: "The rest of the children (guards) will be left to you two."
"Don't worry." Alexia agreed happily.
"Yeah." Rebecca agreed softly.
"Constantine will stay here to assist you. Let's go first." After Sui Bian finished speaking, he turned and left the observation room, followed closely by the two secretaries.
When the automatic door opened and closed, there were only two researchers left in the observation room.
Rebecca turned her head and stared at the closed automatic door, while Alexia just glanced at her friend and colleague beside her, and then operated the holographic panel to stop "transporting" aliens into the training ground and turned on the broadcast
, said to Constantine:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, kid, come out after getting rid of the last few cuties in front of you."
"Okay doctor," Constantine responded.
On the holographic screen, the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards quickly "teared apart" the last few aliens as Alexia said, and then hurried to the exit gate of the trial ground.
Seeing this, Alexia disappeared from the holographic screen, turned around, and found that Rebecca was still a little dazed. She couldn't help but shook her head and smiled, and raised her hand to pat the back of Rebecca's neck and said:
"Hey, don't just stand there, it's time to work."
"Ah? Well, okay, let's go."
After regaining her composure, Rebecca nodded and left the observation room with Alexia, walking through the corridors with white, reflective floor tiles and typical Umbrella style.
"Alas." Rebecca suddenly asked: "Tell me, when will the cause of "For Humanity" be considered complete?"
Alexia glanced at Rebecca with her peripheral vision. After thinking for a moment, she shrugged her shoulders, raised her hands to tidy up her high ponytail, and replied seemingly casually: "Until the universe collapses, or
When it comes to heat death, that’s about it.”
"Is it the end of the world?" Rebecca looked much lonely.
"Why..." Seeing her friend's expression, Alexia suddenly became interested. As if she had read through Rebecca's thoughts, she smiled and teased: ""You woman, you look shy on the surface, but you are actually sultry.
Ah, hahaha... It's okay, don't worry, it won't be the end of the world. I think it will be almost the moment when humans become the masters of the galaxy.
Okay, let’s focus on the children’s surgeries first, and don’t worry about whether they are available or not.”
"Indeed." Rebecca forced a smile. As for Alexia's teasing, she had long been accustomed to it. Besides...
Alexia is right.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the maintenance hall outside the trial site, and Constantine, who also came here, was raising his arms, accepting the technicians who took off the clothes and protective gear that had been corroded by strong acid, and also accepted the technicians.
inspection.
at the same time.
Located "above", on the "surface" about two hundred meters away from the trial site, is Umbrella's new headquarters building, as well as a giant city no less large than Raccoon City, or any colonial metropolitan area.
In addition, directly "above" the city is an artificial star providing illumination, and the scenes of lakes, oceans, forests and other towns on the other side of the artificial star make it clear that this is where Robert, Leon and other primitives came from the green.
The inside of the shield world that they had snatched from the orcs and given to their father.
The city where Umbrella's headquarters building is located is the "New Raccoon City" with 160 million people living in it. It is also the core of Umbrella, UEG and UNSC.
As for this shield world numbered "003" by the administrator, it has been named "Shield of Terra" by Sui Bian. Counting New Raccoon City, there are a total of twenty-six "inside and outside" of the Shield of Terra.
Billions of people live there.
Among the 2.6 billion people, there are Umbrella employees and their families, as well as UEG officials responsible for managing people's livelihood, as well as UNSC generals and soldiers stationed here.
The most important part of all defensive forces is actually the more than 6,000 guards who stayed on the Shield of Terra together with Sui Bian. With them here, and with the defense/offensive weapons of the shield world, there is no need to worry about anything.
Known or unknown alien forces.
But in the next few months, or even within a year, the guards will have to undergo specialized surgeries one after another and will be unable to concentrate on defense work. Therefore, the strength of the guards around Sui Bian will drop to the lowest point in history.
Leon serves as the Governor of the Temple Sector far away, and the guards need to "rest at ease." However, even if there is no one around, it seems to have no impact on Sui Bian. It is not so much the guards who protect his safety.
It is better to say that he protects the safety of these children.
After all, Sui Bian can destroy a planet with just a move of his fingers. Of course, Sui Bian can control the amplitude of force very well, otherwise various accidents would have happened long ago...
It’s all kinds of accidents, including trivial matters in life.
At this moment, a Stealth-class battleship that lifted its optical camouflage effect and spread its wings entered the inner earth through the arctic gate and headed straight for Umbrella's exclusive star port in New Raccoon City.
As for the headquarters building.
Sui Bian and his two secretaries had just entered the top-floor office. He handed the coat that he had taken off to Queen Bai and walked towards the desk. At the same time, he unbuttoned his sleeves and prepared to roll them up.
"Chairman." The Red Queen reported to him: "Primarch Russ has destroyed the main fleet of the Predator civilization. Currently, the Space Wolves Legion is conducting the final "cleaning" work to ensure that all brain beasts are eliminated."
Listening to the Red Queen's report, Sui Bian sat behind his desk and called up relevant video materials to watch.
The screen showed the Space Wolves' home world with a diameter of two hundred and seventy kilometers, artillery of different calibers, and various facilities. Using the beam matrix "inherited" from the administrator's civilization, with absolute firepower,
Almost in the blink of an eye, it destroyed the large, disgusting and bloated predator fleet in the starry universe.
The high-energy beam twists, bends, sweeps across, or slashes vertically, cutting and burning all "living" battleships in its path.
More than a hundred years ago, humans only had three Goshawk-class ships, and they dared to go head-to-head with the reconnaissance fleet of the predator civilization and kill the brain beasts to win. Now there are countless human warships, not to mention that the predator army is "unfortunate"
Encountered the Space Wolves' home world.
A moment of silence.
"There may be unknown wandering fleets outside the territory. Tell Russ not to let him relax his vigilance."
"yes."
After Sui Bian reminded Hong, he continued to focus on the desktop screen, browsing recent files and whether there were any documents that needed to be signed.
The Green Skin Empire happened fourteen years ago. Today, the human territory remains unchanged. However, due to the large population base, the total population has reached 690.2 billion. In less than a year, the total population will exceed 7,000.
100 million, but compared with the territory of human beings, this number is still considered "sparse".
In terms of military strength, the home worlds prepared for each primarch were completed one after another in 2124. As for the home world originally prepared for him, it was scrapped and Ferrus, who was responsible for the construction, had dismantled it.
In the past fourteen years, Umbrella has also been learning halo technology through memory storage. It is believed that in less than four or fifty years, humans will have the power to "control" the survival of a race at will.
"Shua~."
Hearing the sudden opening and closing of the automatic door, Sui Bian just raised his head and saw Artemis, wearing a white dress, waist-length hair, and an olive branch tiara, walking towards the desk, and she also
He supported the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, showed the most perfect posture, and asked with a playful smile:
"Boss, are you asking me to return to the solar system to discuss something important?"
"..." Sui Bian first looked away, stood up and walked towards the automatic door, and then responded: "Follow me."
"Okay." Artemis followed Sui Bian.
After leaving the office, she and Sui Bian walked through the corridor paved with noise-reducing carpets and came to a "collection room" at the end.
As the lights turned on one by one, a dazzling array of "collections" appeared in front of Artemis' eyes, including those representing the sky, thunder and lightning, and also representing her father Zeus——
