China South China Sea First Central Axis Headquarters A-level R&D area, underground level 173.
There are no rooms on this floor, and the gray texture looks like a sandwich between two huge steel plates. If you look closely, you can find many traces similar to moiré patterns on the ground, but when you squat down and look carefully,
The moiré pattern has disappeared again, and the ground is complete and smooth.
Experimental project b034 is launched here.
The marker is "gas", the characteristic is "fusion floral aroma", and the aroma threshold is unknown.
Special remarks: Do not inhale or contact directly.
Experimental subject zc9200003 has a lifespan of only fifteen days today, but it only took three days for him to reach sexual maturity from a genetic embryo. Now his overall physique is no different from that of a healthy normal person.
"No instructions are needed, just let him in." The researchers responsible for this project have no names. In fact, all their files have been wiped out if they can work in the A-level R&D area. They can't even call themselves humans.
, this is the category of bottom-line regulations and is not within the constraints of normal thinking logic.
The project team usually consists of twenty-one people, with one supervisor code-named α, ten auxiliary scientific researchers code-named γ, and the remaining ten R&D support personnel code-named "霊".
None of them have names.
Alpha is responsible for issuing orders, γ is responsible for executing them, and "Li" is responsible for handling emergency matters.
One of the two experimental bodies that was just picked up from the minus 99 floor this morning has been used in the morning, and now this one is entering the experimental site.
He didn't know what he was going to face, and he couldn't even fully understand his feelings.
The gas was invisible and colorless, but had a strange smell. zc9200003 soon felt its presence. He was slightly surprised, and then rubbed his nose, as if he wanted to determine what he had inhaled.
A gamma assistant held a crystal plate in his hand and recorded the entire process.
Including gas concentration, experimental subject zc9200003's body temperature, heart rate, brain waves and other data.
Numbers are an important tool for humans to disassemble and understand the world. At least the α research director in charge of this project firmly believes in this. He said calmly: "Stimulate him and let him walk towards the center."
γ Do it immediately.
Experimental subject zc9200003's body twitched obviously. He felt some discomfort, but could not find out the cause. As he continued to move forward, more strange floral fragrance was inhaled into his body.
zc9200003's heart rate begins to rise.
When he first entered the experimental site, his heart rate was only 75 beats per minute, but now it has reached 103 beats per minute, and it is still rising. α watched the changes in the experimental subject zc9200003 intently, and whispered to himself: "Be steady.
…Don’t make the same mistake again.”
Experimental subject zc9200003 does not realize that he is a guinea pig, nor does he know how he was born. But he has all human feelings, and his brain can also distinguish between pain and joy.
The inhalation of the gas increased his heart rate, which made him breathe harder and his body trembled slightly, but he did not feel any discomfort.
α watched the heart rate of experimental subject zc9200003 soar to 140 beats per minute and said to another assistant γ: "Release the target."
The assistant immediately executed, and soon three groups of movable columnar targets appeared in the center area of the field. The targets were composed of sensing and feedback components, sea surface and leather, similar to sandbags. Experimental subject zc9200003's obvious emotions fluctuated after seeing these things.
His heart rate further increased to 155 beats per minute and he appeared angry.
What α cares about is not whether the experimental subject zc9200003 will be angry, but what he sees when he is angry.
With the help of the super computing core, the brainwave collector tried to restore the image outlined by the brain nerves of the experimental subject zc9200003. However, it was still very abstract... like many colors were lumped together. α looked at the colorful image and said to himself
: "How long will you have to hide before you are willing to reveal your true colors?"
No one knows what he is talking about. As a project research assistant, γ also remembers the regulations and will never ask a question that should not be asked. The security personnel also have team leaders and division of labor, and they do not need α to issue orders to them alone.
When the captain with the red number found that the body of the experimental subject zc9200003 began to swell and crack, and something seemed to be coming out of the skin, the captain just looked back at the team members behind him. The team members understood and took out their weapons to clean it up.
Experimental subject zc9200003 was directly hatched from the synthetic DNA receptor embryos of a pair of healthy men and women. It was not a viviparous human being in the usual sense, nor was it even bred from a traditional fertilized egg. It was more like a platypus baby, belonging to
Mammalian oviparous body.
This breeding method allows the experimental subject zc9200003 to quickly grow into the individual required for the experiment. However, this experimental receptor is still not accepted by the world, so it can only be conducted secretly here.
α sighed deeply.
In the elevator, five security personnel were armed with live ammunition.
When the bulkhead opened, they filed out and began to close the net.
Ten minutes later, the experimental subject zc9200003 was killed, but this time the experimental subject accidentally killed two security personnel before dying. The captain had already expected the sacrifice of the security personnel, which was inevitable. Project b034,
Also known as the "Divine Garden" project, it is a cruel project that combines and observes the mysterious gas collected from the place of origin with experimental receptors that possess all human characteristics.
There is very little information known so far, most of which focus on aggressiveness and irreversible damage.
The person in charge of the b034 project is not looking forward to the aggressiveness of this gas. He hopes that it is controllable and can be used to transform the Ultramarines. However, the current progress is slow. From the establishment of the project to today, the experimental receptor has been used
More than a hundred bodies were lost, and more than thirty security personnel died, but the result was still the same as before.
α felt the pressure. Several improved anti-antibody cells he had mastered failed to successfully control b034. This was a great insult to a scientific madman who devoted himself to researching extremely dangerous projects.
With the last bottle of cell injection collected and modified from the previous experimental recipients remaining, α knew that he could not apply for more experimental recipients. So he took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt, and then said to a
A γ auxiliary staff said: "My things are all in the shoe cabinet in my original residence. If I die unfortunately, I ask you to help me take them out and give them to my wife and children, and tell them that I am sorry for them."
The γ auxiliary staff nodded expressionlessly, and then she stepped forward and took off the shirt for α. The other auxiliary staff had already begun to prepare for the next experiment. The captain of the security staff said coldly: "Go and inform the higher ups to add new information."
security personnel.”
"yes."
…
Taking off the pair of glasses he had worn for ten years, α, whose legs were trembling, slowly walked into the clean experimental site that had been cleaned. Those gases are invisible and colorless, and in the past year, α has been interacting with them
Along with it, I look forward to seeing it exist in concrete form. However, at this moment, it is still lingering in the center of the site.
The floor has been cleaned and there is not a trace of unnecessary smell in the air.
The built-in purification device ensures that gas will not leak.
Taking off the respirator, the barefoot α took a deep breath and walked forward slowly. The middle of the venue was the brightest place, and it looked like the spotlight in a musical. α became the protagonist at this moment,
He felt that his body was being transformed by the reagent he developed, which was a kind of pain like being bitten by an insect. He was already old, and it was not easy for him to walk to the middle of the field without the help of other sedative drugs.
"The indescribable, the nameless, the great, the god who makes us feel humbled and ashamed of ourselves, I am just a mortal who longs for liberation." As a pure materialist, α said at this moment
Some words similar to religious beliefs.
The captain of the security personnel frowned slightly, and his inner activities were somewhat contradictory. On the one hand, he knew that after entering the underground level below minus 30, he would not be allowed to leave again. No matter he came into contact with any experimental project, he was destined to end in death, but the captain was still unavoidable.
A feeling of sadness arises spontaneously as if the rabbit has died and the fox has died.
α has only said two words to him this year.
One sentence is what α said when he fainted from exhaustion and was carried to the emergency room by the captain when he woke up. "Thank you."
Another line has Alpha staring at him and asking: "Do you want us to become stronger?"
It is a regulation that violates human nature. The captain never intends to really accept it and turn himself into a hard-hearted machine. However, his every move is monitored, so he cannot answer α's question directly.
But at this moment, looking at α limping towards the middle area of the experimental site, the captain said in his heart: "I don't want to..."
…
The first central axis B-level R&D area is on the underground level 201.
The room on this floor looks like a huge beehive. In each hive, there are two to three people testing weapons. The weapon testing sequence could have been completed by machines, but here, according to the requirements of Xingyi Military Industry,
All weapons must be tested directly by professional military personnel in simulated venues.
Test project wa2094 looks like an oversized beer glass.
The caliber is meaningless for wa2094, because its bullets are electric and powered by three sets of negative pressure super batteries. There are 107 testers, and each person needs to complete 200 effective test data that day.
The project tester No. 97 had completed the 102nd test, but he made a mistake when disassembling the negative pressure battery, causing the battery to burst and catch fire. The poor guy was electrocuted to death on the spot, and his body was burned.
of coke.
No. 98, who was next door, witnessed the whole process with her own eyes. She was just a child who had just grown up. Girl No. 98 silently looked at the negative pressure battery waiting to be used in the corner. She terminated her testing session and applied to contact the project leader.
Meet,
An hour later, the person in charge came, a middle-aged man with gray hair.
He is the leader of the wa2094 project and the sole designer of this powerful energy weapon.
"Any suggestions?" The person in charge's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for a long time. He lit up a cigarette and then remembered that the girl sitting across from him was a girl, so he asked again: "Do you mind?"
No. 98 didn't say anything. She politely picked up the person in charge's cigarette case on the table and took out a cigarette. The person in charge lit it for her skillfully.
The two smokers were puffing away in the room. After a while, No. 98 said: "The pressure test of the weapon is unnecessary. 'Ball Lightning' does not need to consider sustained firepower. You should increase its power."
, try to kill with one hit as much as possible.”
After hearing this, the person in charge paused slightly and said, "Do you know what we are going to deal with?"
No. 98 thought for a while and replied: "Let me guess...it's either from heaven or on earth."
The person in charge laughed and nodded: "It's from the sky. The next batch of explorers need these weapons to deal with those things. They think persistence is more important than power. Is this explanation perfect enough?"
No. 98 was stunned for a moment, and she frowned slightly: "But why is it a negative pressure battery? I remember that the previous energy weapons used high-speed reactors based on sub-morphic fusion cores. What? The technology has regressed instead?"
After finishing one cigarette, the person in charge lit another one: "I'm not in a position to answer you technical questions. This is written in the regulations, so... if you don't find anything else, you'd better go back and complete the test as soon as possible.
Otherwise you won’t even be able to have dinner.”
No. 98 sneered. How could she be in the mood to eat now? It's not like she hadn't seen the tragedy next door.
"I refuse to continue the stress test. This weapon is simply unstable, especially the negative pressure battery. This thing is an antique from decades ago. I really don't understand why you choose to retrogress in technology."
The person in charge glanced at No. 98. He hesitated and explained: "Have you ever thought that the technology we think is excellent may not necessarily be the most effective?"
"What do you mean?" No. 98 didn't understand. The words themselves sounded contradictory.
The person in charge said: "I will submit your suggestions tomorrow morning, but before the feedback comes back, please continue to complete the test."
After saying that, the person in charge threw a cigarette to No. 98, opened the door and left.
No. 98 was left standing there stunned.
Yes... It's always like this in a place like this. When No. 98 was recruited, the information he got was that various secret research and development were being carried out deep underground, and the core purpose was to help all mankind get out of the current predicament. But now it looks like
Come……
Things like ball lightning generators have been built but still have not been able to break through the barrier between Mercury and the dark zone. Is there really hope for mankind?
Throwing away the cigarette butt, No. 98 threw the cigarette on the table into the trash can. She didn't want to accidentally make a mistake and kill herself while smoking for a while.
Stress testing continues.
…
The first central axis Z-level isolation zone is on the underground minus 301 floor.
The space here is much smaller than the one above, and everything is built for isolation. The isolated objects are all locked in a sealed sphere, and these spheres are soaked in blue poisonous liquid.
The supervisor was in a hurry. He knew that a disaster was coming, but he did not dare to say a word.
With his fists clenched and his fingers embedded in his flesh, the supervisor, who was as fat as a ball, came to the 301st floor and saw only an isolation ball that had exploded a large hole in the three-meter-thick titanium steel wall.
The dangerous object 0211 that was isolated has long since disappeared.
"Have you found it?" the person in charge asked.
The subordinate shook his head nervously: "No... no..."
"Then what are you doing here? Go find it! Go quickly!" The supervisor broke into a cold sweat and roared hysterically.
The men were all startled, but no one dared to move.
The supervisor saw this and asked in confusion: "Why are you standing still? Do you still need me to invite you?"
The subordinate pointed to the passage in the distance and said: "You... look over there..."
The supervisor followed the gestures of his men and looked over... He suddenly felt like his scalp was exploding... because the corridor had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood... hundreds of mutilated guard corpses were scattered in all directions.
"I can't hide it anymore... report it to my superiors." The supervisor finally regained his senses.
The subordinate said nervously: "But if this happens..."
"Shut up! Do as I say! Otherwise, everyone will die! Do you hear me!"
The men understood.
…
Tester No. 98, who had picked up her weapon again, was about to continue the stress test when suddenly the room she was in went dark, the light turned from white to red, and the alarm sounded.
All the testers were stunned, and then saw the projection of an officer appearing in the center of the test area and saying: "All testers immediately go to the confluence area to gather and prepare to participate in the battle."
"What!?" No. 98 was stunned. She never expected that she would be required to engage in a front-line battle at the deepest point of the first central axis?
"Repeat it again! All testers immediately go to the confluence area to gather and prepare to participate in the battle!" The officer said again.
The others had already started to take action, but No. 98 was hesitant. She looked at the negative pressure battery in the corner. There were seven more sets, and it would take at least a few hours to use up all of these things.
a couple of hours……
No. 98's eyes suddenly condensed and he made up his mind.
…
"It can't invade above the 270th floor so quickly. Don't worry, I will pull it out." The Master Chief vowed. He commanded the personnel to enter the underground negative 291 floor, which had been reduced to a dead place, and looked at the people on the ground.
Donating blood and corpse fragments, the sergeant chief said with a stern face: "Don't disperse, all personnel act in unity."
"yes!"
…
When the alarm sounded, α had just stood in the center of the experimental site. He glanced back in confusion, and then his expression suddenly changed, and he felt as if his body was entangled with something.
His breathing also became difficult.
The crystal plate in the hand of assistant researcher γ revealed that Alpha's heart rate had exceeded 160 beats per minute, which was tantamount to suicide for his physical condition.
But Alpha could no longer control his trembling. He smelled a strange floral fragrance, and then a vision appeared in front of his eyes. He seemed to see his body growing, and some green flowers and plants were emerging from his mouth and nose.
The support team leader has already begun arranging personnel to organize auxiliary researchers to evacuate the experimental site, but he cannot leave.
Alpha's experiment has begun. If an accident occurs, as the security captain, he must do a good job of guarding. This is not only an order, but also a soldier's bounden duty.
