From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 139 The Middle Ages? chloroplast

"Why does that town look so medieval?" Soap's confusion came through the communication.

"The medieval style of an alien planet, at least there can't be a wolf like that on earth." Ghost corrected.

"."

Xiaoqiang, who was squatting behind a tree, habitually remained silent and looked at the town several kilometers away with the aid of the screen.

From a cursory observation of their location, they indeed have a strong medieval style as Soap said.

The scale is not large, it can accommodate about a thousand people at most, and there is a small castle located in the center.

Using the screen zoom function, residents working and farming outside the city can be clearly photographed. Their clothing is relatively simple, and their body contours and behaviors are no different from humans.

However, the clean town streets directly distinguish it from the medieval Europe. Moreover, the gravity and atmospheric environment data indicate that this is not another Earth.

At the same time, the soldiers responsible for town security and defense are equipped with brown leather armor and silver steel helmets, holding one and a half meter spears, and carrying short swords or hand axes on their waists.

At first glance, these soldiers seem to be using the most traditional cold weapons.

However, the spear blade of the war spear would flash with a light green luster from time to time, and the helmet and leather armor were covered with a looming invisible film.

In addition, there are also crossbowmen and fire gunners on the castle walls.

Magic and technology? ?
Under the helmet, Xiaoqiang showed a slightly surprised expression.

After all, the abnormal situation in the town, coupled with the green leaf wolf just now, is really beyond the scope of his understanding.

Soap and Ghost also noticed this phenomenon, and then they shared the footage they captured.

In order to prevent the other party from possessing magic-related remote reconnaissance equipment and increase the risk of exposure, Xiaoqiang and the other two chose to retreat to the space gate, and placed a large number of silent warning posts shaped like metal squares here.

at the same time.

In the main universe, in the command center of the ruins base, next to the central console;
"."

Sui Yang put his hands behind his back and frowned slightly.

The wired communication base station has been built, so he can see the real-time footage of the advance team members, the green leaf wolf captured by the ghost, and the medieval-style "human" town.

However, Sui Yang was unable to determine which game and film and television work that Universe 07 was related to before he traveled through time.

"Lord of the Rings"?
"game of Thrones"?
Or is it a new unknown world?

These are all possible.

His two sons, Dorn and Vulkan, also stood by the center console with great interest and saw various strange phenomena in Universe 07 through the holographic screen.

Perhaps for fear of disturbing him, the two young originals remained silent from beginning to end, but their expressions were a little "active".

Seeing that his son was relieved and did not need to teach him deliberately, Sui Yang did not say anything. He raised his hand to bring up the holographic keyboard and issued orders to multiple departments.

For example, the Engineering Department, after the advance team confirmed that there was no threat on the other side of the space gate, the Emergency Countermeasures Corps (AECS) was responsible for security matters and immediately started the construction of the frontline base.

The Logistics Department is also mobilizing corresponding supplies of living materials and ammunition, and various armed departments are also dispatching idle armed personnel to the ruins base to stand by.

Atlas perfectly carried out all the instructions issued by Sui Yang. At the same time, he also issued more detailed dispatch orders to the Investigation Department.

After all, everything in Universe 07 is unknown, so elite investigators are needed to obtain information and figure out who are the enemies, which allies can be made, and whether there are special resources there.
-
...

Main universe.

Eight hours after the seventh space gate opened, this side of the city of New Accra.

Even in the early morning hours, the streets were still busy with traffic and pedestrians.

As a city that never sleeps, this is a good time for travelers to experience the local customs and have fun.

However, there will be a large number of police officers on night duty patrolling the areas around hospitals and nursing homes to prevent uninformed tourists and drunk people from making loud noises. This is a relatively clean area.

Sometimes ambulances with flashing silent warning lights, or airships shuttled between the streets, transporting injured patients in urgent need of treatment.

As for the entrance of the city center hospital where Atlas belongs, there is an injured patient with a special identity who seems to have just been discharged from the hospital.

The injured patient was wearing a brown jacket and dark gray overalls, with a signature middle-parted hairstyle, and was holding a large black suitcase in his right hand.

As for his true identity, he is an elite investigator from the Atlas Investigation Department——

Leon S. Kennedy.

It stands to reason that after genetic enhancement, Leon, who has a physical fitness that far exceeds that of ordinary people, will almost never get sick, but he can't survive a serious traffic accident...

But he was not injured, let alone an injury.

In fact, Leon, like some of the elite investigators who were idle, received orders to go to Universe Zero 7.

However, when he was driving his private vehicle out of his suburban home and preparing to enter the downtown area of ​​Accra, he was hit by a truck.

The person is fine, the car is useless.

The cause was that the unmanned patrol aircraft discovered that the truck was speeding and running red lights, and was about to take coercive measures to control the scene. However, the truck driver had a chance to escape, and eventually Lyon was unfortunately involved in this traffic accident.

In fact, Accra's traffic accident rate ranks among the "lowest" in the world, and it is one of the safest cities in the main universe to travel to.

Even so, Lyon still encountered a low-probability event.

Moreover, his direct leader Ada Wang also issued clear instructions to go to the central hospital and undergo a full-body examination by relevant personnel, which caused his assembly progress to be seriously delayed.

"Ugh…"

Leon sighed involuntarily when he thought that his colleagues had arrived at the ruins base long ago and he had just been discharged from the hospital.

Leave the main entrance of the hospital.

Walk to the side of the street.

He took out his civilian mobile phone and called a taxi, rushed to the company's branch building in the center of Accra, and got on the suspended train below.

After a long period of twists and turns, Leon finally arrived at the ruins base. First, the weapons and equipment placed in the special suitcases were handed over to the logistics department for management, and then they came to the lively staff dormitory area, where they also met Mike Monadi, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Hey! Why are you here just now?" Mike quickly stepped forward and gave Leon a bear hug.

"Oh... stop talking, my car is ruined." Leon shook his head helplessly.

"The car was totaled?" Mike was stunned. "Director Wang said you were in some trouble. Could it be that you were in a car accident?"

"So be it." Leon began to talk about what happened that day.

During this period, the two of them walked through an underground passage with supermarkets, bars, and restaurants on both sides, passed through a living area that looked like a commercial street, and came to the dormitory building specially provided for armed employees.

In the hall at this moment;

"Hahaha!" There was a loud laugh.

After hearing what happened to Leon, Mike couldn't help laughing, then patted Leon on the shoulder and said:

"I knew this kid's luck was a little weird! Come on, don't always look like a sad face. A broken car doesn't mean a broken person. Pack your luggage quickly and I'll treat you to a few drinks later. How about exorcising evil spirits?"

"Thanks Mike." Leon's mood gradually improved.

He is an optimist by nature, and with his colleagues in the company's insurance department helping him handle the follow-up matters, he has nothing to worry about. At most, the insurance price will rise next year, which is not a problem at all for his current salary.

After putting his luggage into the temporary single dormitory, Leon followed Mike back to the living area and found a bar opened by the company to drink and chat.

The two have participated in many reconnaissance missions and secret investigations together, and have a very good personal relationship. The difference is that Mike is already married and has children, while Leon is still single.

As for the reason why they can still drink and chat, it is because the frontline base is still under construction, so they still need to stay at the ruins base for a while.

After all the facilities in the frontline base are in normal operation, they will move to Universe Zero-7 along with the large forces.

In the early morning and late at night, it was not only Lyon and others who did not rest or sleep. Sui Yang, the owner of Atlas, also remained awake.

Of course, Sui Yang only needed to take a nap for a few minutes, which was equivalent to a few hours of sleep for ordinary people.

but;

"Huh...ha..."

However, Dorn and Vulkan were lying on the carpet and fell into a deep sleep, so that the sound of their breathing directly drowned out the "ticking" of the old clock.

Perhaps because they are growing, the primitives in a comfortable environment maintain the daily routine of ordinary teenagers, and fall into a deep sleep once they fall asleep.

"... "

Seeing this scene, Sui Yang couldn't help but shook his head, got up and left the office chair, packed away the toys and game consoles, and took out two spare blankets from the closet to cover the two of them, hoping to make their sons sleep more comfortably.

Dorn and Vulgan originally thought of waiting for him to finish his work here, but this idea seemed a bit "naive".

Although Sui Yang is not busy all the time, and occasionally takes a vacation for himself, or takes his sons to visit the mall, watch a movie or something, but now he is facing the stage of exploring a new universe, so naturally there is not much free time.

Sitting back on the office chair, Sui Yang saw one of the holographic screens flashing an email reminder.

Enlarge the screen for reading and find the latest report from the Department of Biology:
「上传时间：主宇宙2000/03/28/00:44。

Anomaly: Unknown wolf-like creature.

description:

Technicians from the Department of Biology arrived at Universe 07 six hours ago and conducted preliminary testing and analysis of the creature.

The scan results showed that the biological structure of the creature was the same as that of the known canine family, but the green leaf-like hair had plant characteristics.

The blood test results showed that the organism contained organelles similar to chloroplasts, as well as a series of cellular components and molecules such as chloroplast pigments, photosynthetic membranes, and synthetic enzymes.

This means that the organism can obtain the energy it needs through photosynthesis, as well as synthesize organic matter to sustain its growth, development, and metabolism.

Some plankton on Earth acquire chloroplasts by eating plants and then store them in their own cells for photosynthesis, a phenomenon known as Klipper's phenomenon.

But this phenomenon has no chance of occurring in mammals.

Therefore, preliminary detection and analysis by the Biology Department determined that the abnormal creature is an unconventional special species that violates the common sense of the main universe.

After a series of IQ tests, it was also learned that the creature has high-level psychological cognition, self-awareness and strong learning ability.

After the Engineering Department completes the frontline base, the Biology Department will continue to conduct more in-depth research while ensuring the life safety of the creature.

After reading the report.

Sui Yang zoomed the screen back to its original state and leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

The combination of plants and animals,

Violates the common sense of the main universe,

Advanced psychological cognition, etc., all indicate that the green leaf wolf captured by the advance team seems to be a unique product of some kind of magical world.

But now, he is still unable to determine whether the "magic" of Universe 07 is related to psychic energy.

If it doesn't exist, it's just the own magic system on the other side of the door.

If it exists, there will be many possibilities.

You must know that in "Warhammer 40k", there is also a planet world similar to "Sword and Magic".

However, Sui Yang believes that the possibility of the seventh space gate connecting to the "Warhammer" universe is very slim. At most, it is an Earth-like planet in a parallel universe that has its own system of magic and is then used in the subspace. of spiritual beings are concerned about.

But soon, he stopped worrying about the world on the other side of the door.

Without investigators secretly infiltrating and investigating, all speculations and entanglements are asking for trouble, so Sui Yang refocused on scheduling matters and tried his best to make all preparations.
