Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

In the process of preparing for the reforms, the emperor planned to use the infected to weaken the conservatives and further intensify the conflict between the two sides to bring the oppression in the noble territories to its peak. While being held back by the constant guerrillas and infected resistance forces, he secretly eased the oppression of the infected in some royal territories.

The object of their study is Lungmen. The infected are still slaves and inhumans, only given a nominal identity, and then they are forced to be beasts of burden for the rest of their lives. Compared to the situation where they lose even their basic right to life among the nobles, this difference is enough to make any conscious infected person make a choice.

After that, it will take two more generations to gradually alleviate the oppression and provide a new path, allowing the infected to join the army. In the previous escalation of the conflict, they and the conservative nobles were already mortal enemies, and the new emperor who seemed to show some kind of "sympathy" for them would become the emperor they supported.

These slave soldiers not only have nothing and therefore fear nothing, but their infection also makes them extremely powerful on the battlefield, making them a good choice for both internal checks and balances against the nobles and external warfare.

To put it bluntly, this is what the Ottoman Empire and even earlier sultans on Earth did. This is how the slave cavalry Mamluks came to be. And from a historical perspective, before they too became corrupted by the environment, they were indeed very strong in combat, loyalty, and willpower.

Although he was initially furious because of the stinging pain of being slapped, after calming down and thinking it over carefully, the emperor even felt that it might not be a bad thing. The evaporation of an armored division of the Fourth Army meant that the military force under a certain duke had also evaporated.

Furthermore, in order to catch the murderer and seize the weapon from them, the other side has spent a lot of favors and resources on searching and blocking them. The best news is that they haven't managed to corner them yet, which has given the royalists a real opportunity to make trouble. The emperor has been having an extremely comfortable time in court these past two days.

No matter how much the military nobles touted the strength of Ursus's military and tried to persuade the emperor to launch a frontal assault on Sami in order to seize more military merits, status, and power, they would always be rejected by the royalists, with the same reasons:

"You were attacked by the rebels..."

"You lost an armored division to the rebels..."

"Your general was crippled by the rebels..."

"Can we not talk about being attacked by the rebels?"

"Yes, the rebels escaped from the encirclement, and there were only about a dozen of them..."

Moreover, this rebel army rebelled because of the Empire's oppression of the infected, and almost all of them were infected themselves. This gave the Emperor an opportunity to promote his own policies towards a portion of the infected.

In particular, the opportunity for "loosening the policy" for infected individuals who were military personnel was something that even the aristocracy couldn't voice any opposition to.

Amid this clash of politics and power, the troops on the blockade line began to withdraw one after another, no longer enforcing the strict blockade. Only a certain duke, who knew part of the inside story, firmly believed that the other side still had that kind of weapon, and continued to tirelessly send small teams to infiltrate in all directions and communicate with various forces in an attempt to find these people.

Moreover, he seemed unlikely to abandon this plan for quite some time. However, the power of the infected did make him realize that the emperor seemed prepared to use them to counterbalance the aristocratic faction.

Although the old emperor was already seen as a demon by the infected, he still had a crown prince. If the new emperor takes the throne and starts to promote the relaxation of restrictions, it's hard to say whether he can reverse his image.

"Looks like I'll have to plant a pawn among the infected too. Luckily, I happen to have a suitable one on hand..."

Several years ago, the Duke realized that the power of the infected should not be ignored and began to lay out his "grand plan". Now, it has been proven that his vision was correct.

This series of events gave others the impression that Ursus was like someone with goldfish syndrome, forgetting about such a huge loss in just three seconds, as if it never happened, continuing to oppress the infected, and continuing to provoke trouble with Sami, Rem, Victoria, and others in economic, political, and military matters.

This seems to conversely prove that this was indeed a terrorist attack that resulted in the explosion at the site. The danger lay with the site, not the terrorists, prompting countries to strengthen the supervision and protection of all ongoing or already explored sites.

As for whether the forces behind the scenes really just let it slide, it's hard to say. At least, one certain cat-head doesn't believe a single word of it.

"Nonsense!" Kal'tsit turned off the radio. If it were a normal ruin explosion or just a group of terrorists, she would have eaten the radio. Did she really think she had never seen what that thing was?

If that thing were really blown up by terrorists, would Ursus still exist in this world?

Besides, it wasn't a bomb, so why would they want it to explode so spectacularly? There must be someone on the other side who knows the "Ark" exceptionally well, and they might even be one of the "Eternal Ones" who survived on the "Ark".

"The starry sky of Terra, those twinkling lights aren't stars, and this sky isn't just filled with stars—"

Kal'tsit tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked out the window at the night sky where fine snow was falling. Her gaze seemed to pierce through the thick clouds and see the countless bright and shining stars.

"Phew, finally home. For the first time, I feel this shabby workshop is actually quite nice."

Xia Lin jumped out of the vehicle and told the guards to start unloading the miscellaneous items into the farm's warehouse. "Get some sleep first, we'll start work tomorrow..."

"I hope to begin treatment as soon as possible..."

Would you dare to perform surgery on a doctor who is overworked?

"Okay, we also need to find a place to rest..."

“There’s a cluster of infected people over there, you can go and rest for a while…” White Rabbit came out wearing clothes and carrying a flashlight. Xia Lin then realized that he should have installed a lighting system around the farm, but that wasn’t urgent. He quickly took some things out of the warehouse.

The most important item was a large box of construction drones. Unfortunately, for Xia Lin, they were still disposable, or rather, they were meant to be disposable. Without the construction nanomaterials, these items, which cost only a dozen yuan each, were purely consumables on the construction site.

After use, they simply throw it into the recycling center and that's it. In some poorly managed space sites, they even just throw it away nearby, turning it into floating garbage or causing it to fall into the atmosphere and burn up.

Apart from super-large construction sites that have drone CNC towers for production and maintenance, other places use them as disposable devices.

Chapter 42 Cyborg Warrior Bozocasti (Part 1)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Exhausted, Xia Lin didn't notice the wound on the white rabbit's shoulder. He thought the rabbit-eared girl had been staying obediently on the farm for the past two months. Before going to sleep, he inquired about the crops. The first batch of vegetables had been harvested, and the second round of breeding was being carried out in the greenhouse.

In addition, the farmland cleared by the infected people was completely frozen, covered with a thick layer of snow.

So Yelena suggested that they plant the radishes and carrots harvested from the first round of vegetables before the snow fell, as these two crops are relatively more cold-resistant.

Furthermore, the production sequence in the workshop has been completed and has automatically stopped, awaiting Xia Lin's arrangement of new work plans and tasks.

Is rice greenhouse cultivation still a breeding and planting model?

"Yes, another batch will be harvested in about half a month..."

"I see. If we harvest another batch, we can start preparing the paddy fields in the summer and plant rice as our staple food outside." Since Xia Lin wasn't there, Yelena didn't dare let anyone into the large greenhouse to set up planting supports and planting troughs.

Therefore, the large greenhouse still only contained the things Xia Lin had planted before she left: tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and so on. Some of these vegetables were frozen, and others were turned into various by-products by an automatic vegetable processing machine.

For example, tomato juice, tomato sauce, chili sauce, dried radish, sauerkraut, kimchi, etc., have made the kitchen cabinets a little more abundant.

"Well done. Once I revive that big guy and install all this new equipment, we can dig a cellar to store more vegetables. As for the greenhouse, we'll cultivate wheat seeds during the winter so we can plant them in the plots the infected are responsible for next year." Xia Lin rubbed the white rabbit's head.

"By the way, Xia Lin, a new batch of infected people is arriving before winter. The settlement is hesitant to accept them directly and wanted to ask for your opinion..."

"Screen them, keep those who are willing to work, and prevent the others from stealing or damaging crops."

The farm needs a lot of manpower, and most of the machinery on the Hercules needs to be dismantled. The main problem is that the complex mechanical structure is difficult to maintain and is not usable. However, before dismantling it, we can assemble the chassis of the agricultural machine first.

Those fuel rods that meet engine specifications are placed in the spare fuel tank, while those that do not meet specifications are stored in the raw material warehouse. The helium-3 and deuterium in the fuel rods are still useful. Combined with the palladium obtained earlier, the raw materials for the cold nuclear battery are now almost half complete.

The next day, Xia Lin got up early to assemble the medical equipment, not only because he needed to treat Patriot, but also to conduct a more detailed physical examination of White Rabbit and to carry out research and prevention of Oripathy. After all, the equipment in the ship's infirmary was more professional than the farm clinic he had.

First, there's the automated medical pod, which is more advanced than the one Xia Lin's company purchased. The assembly wasn't simple, so he spent the whole morning looking at the instructions before finally managing to assemble it.

The Patriot was moved into this more fully equipped medical pod, and then a liquid therapy chamber was installed, allowing patients to undergo stem cell transplantation and organ regeneration cloning in an environment similar to placental fluid.

In addition, there is the debugging of medical nanomechanics, the installation of micromechanical operating tables, and most importantly, the need to categorize and store the drugs looted from all the first aid kits, medicine cabinets, and storage cabinets in the warehouse.

Many of these are precious medicines that cannot be manufactured or produced locally, and some are medical supplies for emergency use, which could be an extra life in a critical situation.

"Cell regeneration agents, growth regulators, biomimetic organ gels, and artificial organ kits—the supplies are quite comprehensive." Xia Lin checked the equipment and supplies at hand. "Now it seems the chances of saving the patient have increased by at least 20 percent."

First, we need to perform external surgery on the Patriots; organ surgery can only be done by stuffing them into a liquid treatment chamber.

Otherwise, without the stimulation of the special permeable regenerative substances inside, he would have died when those crystallized organs were removed.

Patriot's body surface crystals saved his life. The heat-absorbing properties of Originium allowed him to withstand a considerable amount of thermal damage, although the rapid growth of Originium itself caused significant physical trauma to Patriot.

More advanced and numerous automated surgical arms swiftly cut away Patriot's charred flesh, separating the crystal fragments one by one. He quickly transformed into a tattered doll, his flesh rotting and his heart beating weakly, relying entirely on the almost constant injection of "cell vitamins" to maintain his life.

This liquid drug produced by the Zerg contains a variety of enzymes and hormones that promote cell division and regeneration, as well as a variety of nutrients suitable for cellular life activities. When mixed with Covenant artificial blood, it is a common method to maintain the vital signs of seriously injured soldiers.

After the complex body surface incision was completed, Patriot was almost completely covered in nectar, looking as if he was about to be sent to some alien nest for modification.

After transferring him to the life support pod, Xia Lin injected 200 units of cell regeneration stimulant into the life support fluid, and then began the organ transplant surgery.

He's not planning on any complicated cutting or lens removal treatments. To put it bluntly, he has all the necessary equipment, including imported cell regeneration agents and growth regulators, so he'll skip the fancy stuff and just replace whatever's wrong with it.

This imported insectoid liquid can ensure that even if only the patient's head remains, they can survive well inside this jar.

Moreover, Patriot had more than just his brain left; highly osmotic substances quickly entered his bloodstream and body, sustaining the life activities of his remaining cells.

Even if any organ in his body were removed or discarded at this point, it would have no effect on his other somatic cells and brain. This expensive consumable, costing over 800 star coins per liter, could replace the function of any of his organs and temporarily keep him alive.

Theoretically speaking, using cell regeneration stimulants and growth regulators to induce pluripotent stem cells in some of Patriot's somatic cells and stimulate organ self-regeneration is a treatment recommended by Star Alliance Medical.

The reason for recommending this treatment is not because it reduces organ rejection. Well, the data does show a lower rejection rate, but that has little impact on the patient. Nor is it because the treatment is faster or has fewer side effects. Rather, it's because this treatment allows for faster patient rehabilitation, as the patient doesn't need to readjust to a new organ and limb.

The most crucial reason is that this way, a large amount of imported high-potency vitamin fluid can be burned, which costs more than 800 yuan per liter.

The patient was unwilling to adapt to a new organ, was attached to the old one, and had money, so this method was naturally recommended to him, and it also saved the doctor some trouble.

Soaking there is like pickling vegetables; after a few months, you'll be a hero again, no matter how much you had left besides your head before you went in.

However, Xia Lin didn't have that kind of time to spare. He chose the most direct method, taking advantage of the fact that Patriot hadn't burned too many of these imported gadgets yet.

Replace everything that can be replaced. As for rehabilitation, that's none of my business. Doctors in this world are that simple. If they can save and cure, that's enough. What more could you ask for?

"To be honest, before I begin, I should ask the family's opinion first. By the way, you can be considered his family member, right?"

“Please go ahead…” Ivan was a little nervous because the equipment in front of him looked incredibly sophisticated once it started operating.

Especially after soaking in the solution with added cell regeneration stimulating drugs, the broken and festering wounds on my body began to grow granulation tissue, and they were clearly healing slowly.

"I have two options. One is to induce cloning of an organ using his own cells. Don't worry, the entire process will be done in imported vitamin fluid and human placental extract, just like being reborn in his mother's womb. It's as safe as that. Apart from the fact that he might be weak and lack immunity like a newborn when he comes out, and needs some time to adapt, there will be no side effects or sequelae. The rehabilitation time will be about a month..."

"What about the second one?" The first option already sounded fantastical. What does it mean to be reborn in his mother's womb? It sounded like it could even cure Oripathy.

"However, there is a problem. The equipment here obviously cannot deal with your kind of Originium problem. It is theoretically feasible, but it is hard to say whether the cloned organs will actually work. After all, living organisms may also lead to cancer or exacerbation of Originium syndrome."

The main problem is that they don't have mitochondria in their bodies. The functions of mitochondria, such as aerobic respiration and ATP production, are performed by other organelles. Xia Lin isn't sure whether those organelles are something they naturally have or something like mitochondria that is parasitic.

The main point is that the organelle uses Originium as a catalyst for aerobic respiration and ATP production, as well as a higher-energy substance to maintain the body's super strength and physique. There's also the so-called Originium Arts, which means that...

Troublesome incompatibility with other organs and somatic cells can lead to a significant decline in physical condition or long-term overload of organs.

"The second option is even simpler. I have a whole set of artificial organs here. First, we'll use nanosurgical techniques to destroy all his immune lymph nodes, completely dismantling his immune system. Then, we'll implant this immune maintenance organ to create an artificial immune system. After that, we'll replace all the organs that can be replaced with artificial ones..."

"The advantage is that artificial organs are much stronger than natural ones, and they are designed with multiple times the redundancy and compensation, just like the brain. Even if there is a problem, they are not only easy to repair, but also easy to replace..."

However, there are still shortcomings. The Covenant's artificial immune system may not be able to perfectly identify the host's microbiome, and there is no Covenant network here to update the immune database in real time.

"The downside is that it's easy to develop some strange illnesses, which can destroy other organs as well. But that's okay, I have the whole kit here, which can replace everything except the brain."

Which one is faster?

"The second one..."

“Then the second one.” Ivan believed that his father was not so easily defeated by illness. He had endured such a terminal illness as Oripathy for so long. He had also witnessed the surgery before. A normal person with that level of disease would have died long ago, but his father was not only alive but could also fight.

In comparison, it would be even more agonizing to make him return to the fragility of an infant, especially since the Shield Guards have suffered heavy losses and desperately need their leader to wake up as soon as possible to lead them to find a new path and decide what to do next.

"Alright! The second set will do." It's not only fast, but it also requires less skill. However, the patient might have a lot of work to do afterwards. Xia Lin has checked, and these artificial organ sets aren't high-end products, so the patient will probably have even more to do afterwards.

The next "surgery" was less like surgery and more like slaughtering. The skin and flesh were cut open, the bones were sawed off, the bone fragments were removed, and the internal organs were removed one by one, leaving an empty abdominal cavity.

Next, artificial organs were refilled one by one. The right arm was severely shaved and fractured, and the entire arm was removed from the flesh. It was replaced with a mesh-like skeleton made of high-strength biocarbon material, and enough artificial bone marrow was injected into it to enable normal hematopoietic and immune functions.

Two-thirds of his spine was replaced, and the spinal nerve connection was fully automatic. Even while unconscious, Patriot appeared to be in great pain, which was to be expected. Every sense was tested, from the lowest to the highest, to ensure that the brain could correctly recognize these signals and information, thus controlling those artificial devices just like controlling normal organs.

The heart and blood circulation system were replaced, and the torn and damaged tendons and muscle tissue were peeled off and replaced with artificial electronic muscle groups. In order to avoid the many troubles of connecting with biological bodies, Xia Lin even cut off and discarded a lot of normal body tissues involved.
