Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 141 Four Ascension Routes
Qin Xu walked out alone.

He put Sophia in a safe place. As for which place is safer, in fact, everywhere is quite safe now.

In the precognitive world, Qin Xu already knew that the Matthias consortium had liberated the slaves.

So now as long as Sophia doesn't seek her own death, no one will kill her or capture her.

Qin Xu did not tie her up again, but just found a phone and dialed Soda En's number. Fortunately, he had exchanged contact information with the other party before.

After the other party got through, Qin Xu told him about the situation, threw the phone to Sophia, and asked Sophia's father to do some ideological work for her.

Then Qin Xu took the laser sword and killed him directly.

As for why he rushed out, Qin Xu didn't know very well. He just felt that he should go out.

As soon as Qin Xu appeared in front of everyone, he suddenly became the focus of the audience.

The main reason was that everyone else was hiding in the bunker, and he was the only one standing arrogantly in the middle of the battlefield, which was really an anomaly.

Qin Xu shook off the laser sword, knocked away a few bullets aimed at him, then took out his pistol and fired at the war robot in the distance.

With a bang, sure enough, the opponent's war robot was intact.

The war robot's head was tilted by the incoming bullet, but it didn't matter. He twisted his head back.

Two heavy-duty Gatlings began to warm up in his hands. This super war machine was about to exert its terrifying battlefield dominance.

Speaking of which, this was Qin Xu's first time fighting a war robot that served entirely for war.

Even the robots at the Lost Sanctuary were not fully dedicated to war. At least they did not have two heavy machine guns fixed on their hands.

Like humans, they need to use their hands to pull the trigger to shoot.

The robot in front of me was completely dedicated to war and did not need so many fancy things. The purpose of its birth was to kill.

As the two Gatlings in the hands of the war robot immediately warmed up to a state ready for launch, when everyone thought that Qin Xu was about to make a big move.

Qin Xu stood in the middle of the battlefield holding a laser sword and paused for a second, then ran into the building again.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

It was the KGB who responded the fastest, Andrei said as quickly as possible.

"Everyone, follow me!"

The atmosphere changed so quickly that everyone froze for a moment.

But in such a tense situation at the moment, they could not allow them to think, and immediately rushed into the building.

Qin Xu, on the other hand, knew that as soon as he rushed out, both sides would enter a brief ceasefire.

Then the KGB would think of going into the building instead of sending them to death.

As for why Qin Xu didn't use his ultimate move?

What a bullshit ultimate move.

Hundreds of drones were taking off one after another on the opposite side, and two heavily armed helicopters were coming in the distance.

There are dozens of CIA agents on the land, plus dozens of heavily armed special operations personnel, and a war robot that has never been seen before.

This configuration takes the lead.

Qin Xu also heard something from someone Chen Xiaomeng muttered while working.

There are currently three known routes that can lead all mankind to ascend.

Integrated prosthetics, gene editing and mind canning.

Corresponding to prosthetic modified human, genetically modified human and mechanical synthetic human respectively.

Qin Xu himself knew what his situation was, so there was actually a hidden path to personal ascension - spiritual awakening.

This ascension route is different from the first three. As long as the technology is realized, citizens can be transformed in batches, turning everyone into new human beings, and taking all citizens with them to ascend together.Only a small number of people have psychic awakening, and it is currently unknown what the conditions for awakening are.

When dealing with people who have not ascended, such as the Cyborgs fighting against the Republic of Kullak or fighting other interstellar civilizations, they can crush them, and one person can kill the opponent's group.

And when everyone is an ascendant, the personal strength of the spiritually awakened person is slightly stronger than that of the prosthetic modified person, the genetically modified person and the mechanical synthesizer.

But the strength is limited.

During an ascension, spiritual awakening and prosthetic transformation each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The biggest shortcoming of Psychic Awakening, or in other words, the only reason why it is hoisted up and defeated by other Ascending in a comprehensive evaluation is that it cannot be mass-produced.

Qin Xu could indeed defeat a dozen ascendants of the same level by himself, but that was all.

You know, other ascended individuals can be mass-produced.

A person with psychic awakening can defeat dozens of people by himself, but what if we have hundreds or thousands of prosthetic transformed people here?
The advantage of mass production makes these three ascension routes far stronger than psychic energy.

Especially when the opponent is equipped with various heavy-duty war weapons, directly connected to the human brain, and able to control unmanned combat equipment such as drones, there is no way to defeat it.

Genetically modified people also have such disadvantages at this point.

The advantage of genetic ascension is that with advanced biotechnology, they can use a large number of cloning warehouses, causing the population of the entire civilization to grow extremely fast.

Of course, this only advantage is made up for by the Portman conglomerate's use of war robots on the battlefield at all costs.

There are further ascensions above these four physical ascension routes, which are expanded on the original basis, that is, the second stage of ascension.

For example, Qin Xu knew that he was only a psychic awakener now.

Later, if you rise to the second stage and become a psionic controller, you can also hang up the first-stage ascenders to fight.

As for now, besides running, there is no other choice but to run.

"The Republic of Quillak has completed integrated prosthetic technology. Why didn't anyone tell me such important news..."

Qin Xu felt a headache as he looked at the approaching prosthetic agents outside.

There was a serious error in intelligence. Originally, he thought he could hang up the opponent and beat him, but now he was about to be hanged up and beaten by the opponent.

And soon, the KGB agents closest to the door entered here and came to Qin Xu's side.

Or it can't be said that they took the initiative to find Qin Xu, but that Qin Xu stood in advance where the other party might go.

"Are they all here?"

Qin Xu asked casually.

Andrei and the other KGB agents were stunned for a moment.They randomly found a place to hide, but they happened to bump into Qin Xu here.

They just saw Qin Xu come in. There were so many rooms in here, but they didn't know where he entered.

"we are……"

Just as the other party wanted to introduce himself, Qin Xu waved his hand.

"unimportant."

Then Qin Xu continued: "In a while, the armed helicopters from the opposite side will directly attack this building and raze it to the ground, so we don't have much time."

"What do we need to do?"

The KGB has always given orders to others, but that doesn't matter. Director Andrei has never cared about such things.

"I installed my own people on the opposite side, so if you want to go out, just do as I say. Even if the order is outrageous, don't doubt it, just do it."

Qin Xu said without any doubt.

Everyone at the KGB was stunned for a moment. Is it true?

Why does it sound so unbelieving?
