The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 114 Evidence Collection
Apart from Warrant Officer Mays, who is still receiving emergency treatment, more than half of the fifteen students who escaped from the attacked squad were injured.

Three people who fled in panic through the forest were seriously injured in an accident and have been taken to the hospital for treatment. Six others sustained minor injuries but are still shaken and have been returned to the medical tent for observation after treatment. The two students who brought Mays back, Elshirman and Jiang Hui, suffered severe injuries; the former, with a moderate dislocated shoulder, has already been taken home by his family, while the latter is unconscious due to exhaustion and mental strain, making them arguably the worst-hit team of the entire operation.

Fortunately, no one has died so far, which is a stroke of good luck amidst this misfortune.

The school administration couldn't imagine the blame and pressure they would face if someone actually died during this training exercise. They themselves couldn't bear the thought of causing the death of someone who hadn't fully awakened.

Therefore, the school authorities and the officers with authority present mobilized almost all the soldiers stationed at the school to conduct a thorough search of the entire training ground and summoned all relevant personnel to verify testimonies in order to ascertain the truth.

Once everyone was properly settled and the tasks were assigned, they finally had time to gather together to discuss this tragic accident.

Yes, they defined it as a malicious accident.

If we're talking about humanity's development to this point, the first and foremost obstacle to their ultimate dominance of the galaxy is undoubtedly the interstellar beasts. Humanity still faces many enemies in interstellar life; some have been completely wiped out, turning into interstellar dust and no longer hindering their survival. Others observe them from afar, neither approaching nor letting their guard down, and will undoubtedly be the first to strike should humanity face a crisis.

Others remain active in human life, occasionally emerging in their own ways to deliver devastating blows. Star beasts belong to this category, like thorns embedded in the flesh of interstellar humans.

Since humanity broke through the cosmic domain of its mother planet and migrated to the Alpha Universe where it now resides, they have developed rapidly. In a short period of time, they have broken through the limitations of their previous species and created a glorious and prosperous civilization unique to humankind.

However, their lives were not without hardship. A certain number of star beasts still inhabited this universe; they were explorers of this cosmos, arriving even earlier than humans. They were called beasts because they resembled the animals of humanity's home planet, but their habits and fighting prowess were far more ferocious, and they possessed an extremely strong sense of territory. Some species would even actively attack humans, treating them as prey. Thus, for a long time, the newly arrived humans found themselves in a precarious struggle against these star beasts.

What people initially wanted was simply to find a home planet, where they could live and work in peace as they had in the past. But how could this turbulent interstellar environment allow them to settle down so easily?

Star beasts, accustomed to roaming between star systems or hunting on various planets, have begun to set their sights on humans.

A war broke out between humans and interstellar beasts, beginning a protracted struggle that lasted for several eras. Humans, being inherently intelligent beings, were constantly challenged and pressured to unleash their potential, evolving into the physiques they now possessed, perfectly suited for interstellar survival. They also developed numerous weapons and inventions that transcended eras and interstellar boundaries. Human civilization thus gradually reached its zenith.

In this war, the scattered star beasts gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Although their numbers and populations did not decrease much, they could no longer treat humans as creatures to be hunted at will as they had in the past.

There is no right or wrong in this battle... because perhaps from the perspective of the Star Beasts, humans are the invaders. But the two cannot coexist peacefully, so naturally, the only outcome can be one of prosperity and the other of decline.

Furthermore, the essence of the conflict between humans and star beasts lies in the struggle between the two races for resources and territory. Sometimes, even when humans wish to coexist peacefully with star beasts, the star beasts find it difficult to tolerate such a resource-intensive and intelligent race competing with them nearby, leading to uncontrollable proactive attacks. Humans, on the other hand, are inherently an ambitious race. They may have initially genuinely desired a peaceful life, but through daily evolution and progress, they have gradually acquired the power to dominate the lives of their entire race.

Having discovered the wonders and beauty of this vast universe, they naturally weren't content to remain confined to one or two small planets. Ultimately, they truly came to dominate this universe and became the overlords of this region.

Star Beasts have long been isolated outside their habitable star systems and are not allowed to freely enter human territory.

But right now... right under their noses, a group of star beasts have inexplicably broken in and attacked a group of students who are still in the early stages of awakening. Isn't this a serious incident?
Let alone within their small school, once daylight breaks and the news can no longer be suppressed, this matter will inevitably become the focus of attention on Planet 732. Therefore, they must find out the whole story as soon as possible and give an explanation to the public, the military, the school, and the students' parents.

Stark had been busy here all night, but he was still worried about Jiang Hui's situation, so he took a break halfway to go check on her. When he returned, he naturally still had to deal with that matter.

Upon his return, Major Hank immediately gestured for him to come forward and inquire about the situation.

Stark then relayed all the information he had obtained from Jiang Hui, who fell into a brief moment of contemplation upon hearing it.

They had already learned the details of the matter from Hillman. However, the child was quite young and his focus was somewhat scattered, so he didn't explain some things clearly. Jiang Hui, on the other hand, had a clearer understanding and provided a lot of additional information, confirming all the points that were unclear to them.

However, these are ultimately secondary data obtained from people's observations. What people want to see now is completely objective first-hand data.

What constitutes completely objective first-hand information? Naturally, it includes direct evidence, evidence collection traces, sounds, images, and so on.

"The people who went to investigate and collect evidence haven't arrived yet?" Major Hank tapped the conference table with his fingertips.

A young officer next to him whispered, "It should be almost over. The intelligence we just received says there's only one point left to collect data from." It was actually the site where Mays had the accident. That place was too important; they had it protected from the beginning and sent many experienced people to collect evidence.

However, because there are too many details to collect evidence, the investigation has not been fully completed yet.
