01415 Between Life and Death (Part 1)(1/2)
When it comes to corpses, especially those of traitors, or corpses that have been left unclaimed and died on the battlefield, the Yaxing Republic has always had an unwritten rule, which is to "reuse" them.
Perhaps it is because Turaya has played an important role in reproduction and continuation in human society. In today's human society, no one stands up for the dead. At least... no one will stand up for those who are like garbage and have no one to bury them.
The corpse makes a sound.
It took nearly twenty years to build the solar system, and more than a thousand battles, large and small, were fought. The human society, which once had a population of more than 15 billion, experienced twenty years of interstellar wars, and three consecutive people survived.
Less than one percent. However, after the Yaxing Republic completed its great cause of unification, it replenished its population again in just thirty years.
What does this rely on? Is it a policy to encourage childbirth? Is it enough young people?
It's not...it's Turaya.
It was "Turaya" who was once despised by the world and even labeled as filthy.
One of the four old gods.
To this group of soldiers who had been holding on deep underground for who knows how many years, Liu Yibi's body was just garbage that could be "used".
No one would give him a proper burial, let alone notify his non-existent family and friends to come and pay their respects.
After the bodies were collected, they were taken to the recovery facility.
It was a pool with yellow soup. The edge of the pool was full of fishy stench. From time to time, some pale white things would flow out of the pool water. It was unknown whether they were broken corpses. Such a pool is generally not seen by the world.
Because this is probably the last layer of fig leaf. If you look further down, you will see complete depravity.
But this group of guards, who had long taken life and death lightly, was so used to it. They threw the box containing Liu Yibi's body directly into the pool, and then several mechanical arms connected to mysterious tanks penetrated into the water.
When the corpse enters the pool, it will soon be decomposed into various basic materials by the substance code-named Scip-059 in the pool water. Then, after layers of sifting out the impurities, it will finally be purified into the culture medium of new life.
Generally speaking, underneath such a "yellow soup" is the hatchery.
But obviously, these guards are not that professional yet. They are only responsible for purification and not for the subsequent cultivation of new life.
The purification process took less than ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, two bottles of clear and transparent culture medium solution were taken away by the guards guarding the place and put into boxes.
The jar is not big, and can only hold 500m/l at most, but the culture medium stock solution inside is very expensive... Generally speaking, privately owning the "Turaya" analysis tank is already a felony. If
Purifying corpses of unknown origin and smuggling the corresponding culture medium stock solution is even more serious. According to the existing criminal law of the Yaxing Republic, the person directly responsible can be sentenced to 20 years in prison, life imprisonment, or even death.
of.
But the dark transactions in the depths of Mars are completely outside the law. Although the criminal law is clearly written, for Tai Chi City, it is obviously not enough to deter them.
After finishing all this, the guards closed the analysis pool and sealed off the area.
The boiling pool of "yellow soup" also calmed down, and the mechanical arms slowly retracted, as if nothing had happened.
But it's midnight Earth time.
When the guard on duty handed over the work and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a series of gentle knocking sounds coming from the closed area behind him.
"Huh? Did you hear anything?"
Another guard with thick eyebrows and big eyes shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"
"Tsk... maybe I heard it wrong." He noticed the unusual pointy chin and shook his head secretly, stood up and prepared to leave.
But just before walking through the door, there was another "dong" sound.
This time the sound was loud enough that both guards heard it.
The two of them immediately looked at each other and immediately picked up their weapons and headed for the blockade area.
The analysis pool is built at the bottom of an extremely hidden natural valley. Although the narrow passage is convenient for constructing a blocking device, walking in it when no one is around is really depressing.
Even though the two guards were no longer newcomers, they were still cautious on the way down, for fear of something going wrong.
This is not because they are too timid. In fact, there are no longer just one or two weird rumors about the "Turaya" analytical pool.
Ever since the Asia-Star Republic has acquiesced to the military's secret use of this forbidden technology to increase the military's combat effectiveness outside of the law, appalling tragedies have occurred in the hidden "Turaya" factories on all major planets.
The most impressive thing is the extinction event that occurred seven years ago under the Astonton No. 7 experimental site on the moon.
At that time, the Yasdenton No. 7 Experimental Site, which was used as a simulated actual combat range for conventional interstellar combat weapons, was just an ordinary military training base in the eyes of the world. But when the survivor broke into the public view like a madman, the world knew that what was going on was
There is actually a huge "Turaya" factory hidden under this experimental site, and since its completion, this factory has supplied tens of thousands of high-quality soldiers to the army every year.
At that time, the factory had 750 employees of various types, including an elite guard team of 210 Type 2 super soldiers.
But one night, ever since the first scientific researcher mysteriously disappeared near the analysis pool, tragedies have continued one after another.
The person in charge of the factory quickly reported the situation to his superiors, who also approved the emergency shutdown of the factory. After the situation is found out, work and production can be resumed depending on the situation.
However... before the top management-level special investigators arrived on the moon, after just one night, the factory became
A dead place.
The person who survived by chance was a porter of the culture medium stock solution at the factory. He survived that day entirely because of his own shitty luck and did not stay in the factory when the nightmare happened.
But even so, when he returned to the factory and found that everyone was missing, he still went crazy.
Since then, this mysterious factory has been completely closed, and no one knows where the more than 700 workers have gone.
In addition, the official has never actually made public the investigation report, and ordered all factories involved in the core technology of "Turaya" to suspend production for a period of time, so now there are only many rumors circulating about the truth about that night.
One of them that sounds more believable is this.
"Turaya", which regards life as a child's play, is actually an urgent chaotic replacement. It not only violates the actual science, but also taints ethics, so sooner or later it will be punished by the world.
This "truth" sounds ridiculous. Judging from other small accidents, maybe...human beings have indeed paid the price for what they have done.
The guard with thick eyebrows and big eyes has heard these rumors so much that his ears have become calloused, but this does not mean that he can really stay calm at critical moments.
The pointy chin is similar. These two people are usually very lazy, so they are placed on duty in such a boring place.
But compared to the pointy chin, I never thought that I would be in trouble one day.
At this time, the two of them were walking side by side in the passage. They seemed to be calm, but in fact they had quietly raised their guns.
Walking a few meters further down you can see the pool of "yellow soup".
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly remembered that when he was bored, he peed in the pool while no one was around. Thinking about it now, he felt really regretful.
He thought to himself: 'Damn, I just peed, can't I really get into trouble?'
The man with the pointed chin didn't know what the thick-browed man was thinking, but he was also thinking about the bad things he had done.
Before he came to Tai Chi City to make a living, Pointy Chin was an unskilled private doctor. Although he was not good at his profession, he still had some skills, especially when it came to performing full-body cosmetic treatments for girls who had no money to upgrade their bodies.
, he is the best at it, and he even took advantage of many girls with this skill.
But later, this quack doctor with a pointed chin accidentally treated someone to death and became a fugitive after his boat capsized in the sewer. If someone hadn't introduced him, he would have fled to the edge of the solar system by now.
After arriving in Tai Chi City, Pointy Chin was still very steady at first, and even occasionally adjusted the gadgets in his body for his gang of friends. But when he learned that the master of Tai Chi City secretly built a Tula deep in Mars
After visiting Ya Basic Raw Materials Processing Factory, his mind became active.
Not only did he find a way to get into the guard job here, but he also often secretly went to the pond at night to do his little research when no one was around.
Pointy Chin's research is not a big deal, he just wants to make a fortune from this pool.
But since the last time he secretly threw the frozen corpse he bought privately into the pool but failed to successfully produce the culture medium, Pointy Chin felt like a thorn in his heart. He had to sit and lie down all day.
Restless.
Now that something like this happened again, Pointed Chin could not help but think of the secret information about "Turaya" that he had secretly checked before, and it was mentioned in it.
The technology used in the biological substrate analysis pool is not just the end of biological sample analysis in human scientific understanding. It can even be said that this pool of "yellow soup" is not a "soup" at all, but some kind of "living thing", something from
The Call of Heretics in the Mysterious Star Realm.
The pointed chin was not very interested in the second half of this paragraph, but the "living creature" thing was always in his mind.
Now, the two of them came to the edge of the pool.
All the lights were lit, and the silhouettes of the practitioners illuminated by the light in the analysis area were no longer visible.
The thick-browed man coughed, looked around, and then smiled: "Well, it seems like it's nothing."
Pointed Chin was also looking around, but only briefly glanced at it. His focus was still on the pool.
"Yellow soup and yellow soup", of course, must be sufficiently yellow and turbid.
But at this moment, the things in the pool were clearly showing signs of becoming clear.
Spotting the clues, the pointed chin stepped forward.
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes immediately followed him.
The two stood side by side by the pool, frowning with their pointed chins: "Look, is the water in this pool getting clearer?"
The thick-browed man looked carefully and opened his eyes, then nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's getting clearer! Oh, is there something wrong? Let's report it quickly."
As he spoke, the guard with thick eyebrows and big eyes was about to take out his communicator to contact others, but was stopped by his pointed chin.
"Wait, what do you want to do?"
He said blankly with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "Why not, inform the captain?!"
But the pointed chin shook his head: "Don't worry, I don't think the matter is that serious yet."
To be continued...
