Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Whether they are man-made or sub-individuals of some large organism, these small things really don't look like independent biological populations."

Ceria nodded, agreeing with Alpha's point of view.

"Are the other sand beasts still alive without this parasite..." Migru looked at the corpses of the other sand beasts in fear, but there were no living parasites crawling out of the other corpses.But upon closer inspection, she discovered that the parasites had been torn apart by bullets.

"I think we have to go to Changquan Town quickly. We can get something like this out in less than a month. I can't imagine what will happen if it takes longer."

"You're right. Let's take care of the wreckage here and then we'll leave."

……

At the same time, in the mines on the outskirts of Changquan Town, this was the place where the local lord first let miners mine the source stone. After a large number of infected people appeared, the former local lord ordered the mining to stop and closed the mining area.

It doesn’t look like it’s closed and unused. Alpha, Seria, and Koloff gathered around the drone control station, watching the high-definition images transmitted back by the drone from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. Several trucks and off-road vehicles parked at the entrance of the old mine, and some mercenaries wearing desert cloaks stood guard around the abandoned mine.

"Can those vehicles be enlarged?" Ceria felt that the attire of those vehicles and personnel were somewhat familiar.

"Okay, let me point the telephoto lens up." Petrova, who was twisting the joystick, pressed a few buttons on the display screen, and the high-performance photoelectric pod hung under the drone pointed its field of view at the target. With multi-channel optical imaging and Diesel's processing, a high-definition three-dimensional model of the scene was quickly established.

"The off-road vehicles and trucks owned by Volvot Kochinski, and those mercenaries carry equipment commonly used by several large security contractors in Colombia..." Ceria frowned, "I even have reason to doubt that these The people are Volvot Kochinski’s corporate army, disguised as local mercenaries in Sargon, covering a certain work group of the company conducting some covert operations here.”

"Currently, there are more than 30 people that can be observed. Thirty mercenaries carrying standard equipment are a very troublesome problem. This is a mercenary team with sufficient strength." Commenting from the perspective of ordinary soldiers, Koloff said came to this conclusion.

Qian"? Xun!,:;;Free';,:'Fei:, Xiao?Said??:;;skirt!:'2!5".:".5.:5,.,!!9?, :,5?'":?3..:0"?0 "Alfa, have they found something here that is worthy of investing huge resources, for example, the Magnetic Mountain Laboratory. "Seraya looked at the underground structures drawn by the deep scanner that was gradually being refreshed. A series of huge man-made structures were embedded in the mines, which were almost the same as the readings returned by the wreckage and debris of the facilities she had seen before.

"A mysterious laboratory suddenly appeared, and the scientist in charge of the laboratory. If it was these things, and you were the supervisor of Volvot Kochinski, what would you do?"

"A researcher of unknown origin brings his research results. I will definitely find an opportunity to test whether he really has real materials."

"You know Volvot Kochinski, and you have also seen those mutated sand beasts. With their habits, they will definitely not be satisfied with this, right?"

"You're right." Just recalling the reports she had seen, Ceria could already imagine that if they were given a little more time, this town would be turned into the hands of these people with no bottom line. A testing ground to test weapons.They can create infected organisms for experiments, and they can use infected people to conduct experiments. There is no review or hindrance for them at all.

"So we are going to stop them." Alpha sat back in the captain's seat and activated the Life Star's weapon system. "We are going to recover the heritage and related characters of Cishan Laboratory. If anyone blocks the way, then run over them. We have to move fast, so let the railguns and rapid-fire cannons negotiate for us."

12. Surprise or shock

"Seria, there is one thing I want to ask you for help with." When the base walker started again, Alpha found Seria who was preparing equipment.

"Please say."

Alpha took out a folder and handed it to Ceria, "This is some potentially useful personnel information that I extracted from my memory. In the process of contacting new time travellers, I would like to use your information." Professional experience, personnel and inquiry work are not my forte.”

"no problem."

After receiving a positive answer, Alpha briefly introduced her next action plan, "I plan to raid the mine first, and then go to the town to have a look. Our existence may have been exposed, and the other party will take countermeasures at any time, even Seeing that the situation is not going well, you will immediately run away, so you must strike first."

"From a rational point of view, it is best to eliminate the root causes of this operation." Ceria lowered her eyes, as if she was having a fierce ideological struggle, "But..."

"I'll take care of the dirty hands. These people won't be clean. I won't have any burden in handling it." Alpha patted his old friend on the shoulder, "You are not the same as those guys. You have principles and Bottom line, you have conscience and humanity and will not be blinded by profit, otherwise, you would not have brought Ifrit, Helmer and the others to Rhode Island."

"Thank you, Alpha."

……

Deep in the mines of Changquan Town, the original rugged mines have long since disappeared. The huge underground structure, steel bars and concrete of Cishan Laboratory have replaced the original mines with only poor source rocks.Here, a Colombian wearing a robe to cover his clothes and wearing glasses, a richly dressed Rebaba noble with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a man with no visible racial characteristics, wearing a white coat and gray hair, are talking. Arguing about something.

"I don't care what you want to study, you have to understand that I kept you alive, and you promised to create a 'cruel and powerful' army to let me kill my stubborn father. But Look at what ridiculous things you are bringing out now. Some of them ran out of control and ran into the wilderness, while the rest couldn't even alert the lord's guards." Noble Rebaba pointed out the clothes in front of him very bitterly. White coat.

"How can I make you understand that the development of scientific research results requires time and resources? It only took you two weeks to find the sponsors. Do you think the investment can be transformed into results with just a slap in the face? And these sponsors you found?" The man in the white coat snorted coldly and glanced disdainfully at the guy next to him who claimed to be "Technical Director of Volvot Kochinski."

The Colombian man with glasses was a little angry, but he didn't seem to want to continue arguing. The noble was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was also engaged in scientific research. He understood the indignation of Dr. Levi for this lunatic Party A. .

As for saying that he looked down on himself, he was just a technical specialist responsible for inspecting investment projects. This guy's research results were indeed convincing, but he was still skeptical about whether it was worth the additional investment.

There are quite a few differences between Levi's theory and the accepted classical theory. What he has done so far does not go beyond the scope of current knowledge. The glasses guy is not sure whether he is a shrewd liar.There are some very strange things here, but Brother Eyes is skeptical about whether they can be reproduced or whether they have the value to be reproduced.

At this moment, a mercenary stumbled in from outside the passage. He was still injured and his face was covered with dust. "Under attack!"

The three stopped arguing, and Levi could hear vibrations and rumbling sounds coming through the mountains and buildings.

"Who is the attacker? Lord's Guard?" Noble Rebaba looked a little ugly.

"No, no, it exploded suddenly. I don't know where the attack came from!"

At this time, several muffled sounds were heard from the explosion-proof door of the laboratory located at the deepest part of the facility, like the sound of being hit directly by a large-caliber firearm. The firearm was basically impossible for the heavy-duty steel explosion-proof door more than half a meter thick. It's just that it's just not there, and it's impossible for the other side to use a tank gun to blast the door directly in the narrow passage. Even if you use something like thermite to boil the door, it will take a long time. Levi is very confident about this.

Then his confidence was shattered on the spot by a long knife that penetrated the blast door and cut an oval channel in the door like cutting through steel like butter.

As a former Soviet scientist who experienced the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Levi was also exposed to some Western cultural works after that turbulent period. This scene directly reminded him of the classic scene in "Star Wars".

Boom!The blast-proof door that was cut fell inwards and fell heavily to the ground, splashing a piece of dust from the smashed cement. A woman with white hair and cool clothes walked in carrying a terrifying long knife. He turned the sword around and put the long sword back into its sheath.Behind her, several warriors wearing exoskeleton heavy armor filed in and controlled every corner of the laboratory with their guns.

Levi saw the exaggerated bullet holes in the remains of the gate, as well as the standard firearms that looked a bit unexpectedly thick.The equipment on these people is completely different from the so-called "advanced technology" equipment displayed by Volvot Kochinski. It looks time-tested and mature. There are no fancy so-called "spells" and they are all pure efforts.

"You are the ones..."

boom!Alpha raised her hand without even looking and fired with a single shot. The heavy combat pistol of the composite armor directly blew up half of the noble Reba's body. She was too lazy to waste time with such a guy.

"Go check the reactor and biological petri dishes over there, scan and record them, and pay attention to your thermoluminescence meter. If the reading exceeds the warning value, evacuate immediately." The white-haired woman put away her gun and gave the order to the soldiers behind her. , then several soldiers and a mechanical car bypassed the remaining three people who were still in a daze.

……

You can talk about technology with a mad scientist, you can talk about job-hopping with a hard-working worker, Alpha has the ability to talk nonsense to others, to some extent.But compared to the kind of guy who takes the initiative to be a comprador and sells everything he owns just to kill his relatives and seize the noble title, Alpha can't even say death.Even for an ordinary feudal aristocrat, she could squeeze out a few polite words, but for such a comprador, it would be a waste of bullets to fire.

"You are Levi Klitschko."

"I am." Levi put away his arrogance. This woman and her men showed such professionalism and iron-blooded determination that Levi had not seen for a long time.And looking at the equipment on them, they must be backed by an organization with strong technological capabilities. Those things aroused his great interest.

"Take a trip with us."

Levi raised his hands obediently and allowed the soldier with a tail gaiter behind the protective suit to put handcuffs on him.

"What..." The glasses guy couldn't help but say something. Then he remembered what happened to the noble Rebaba and quickly closed his mouth.

Alpha glanced at him, "You didn't continue to resist. I don't need to kill you. You should be lucky that your current project has not yet used those infected people locked up outside. Otherwise, I will doubt whether you are 'innocent'." manner."

"I, I understand..." He glanced at the noble Rebaba lying in a puddle on the ground and knew what she meant, "I'm just a part-time worker... I don't know anything."

"Carl McTalley, Volvo Kochinsky Energy Technology Engineer..." Ceria recognized this competitor member she had investigated before. He was quite accomplished in Originium technology and was a somewhat real guy. Having been involved in some companies' gray affairs, Alpha used this information to scare him, "I can also know nothing. The choice is yours, Mr. McTally."

13. Are you going to test scientists on this?

Levi was taken out of the underground laboratory that brought him to this world by the group of soldiers wearing power armor. The mine was filled with charred sand baked by high temperatures, huge craters, and all kinds of The remains of equipment.

The mercenaries of the noble Reboba and the mercenaries brought by Karl were missing. Levi only saw a few corpses that had not had time to restrain themselves. The craters were quite exaggerated. At first glance, he even thought that a heavy bomb had been hit here. bombing.The other mercenaries are probably dead.

Levi has been in this world for a long time, and he has a basic understanding of the indigenous people here's understanding of military and science and technology. These guys are still in the cold weapon age and advocate personal bravery.Without the corresponding ideas and technology, even if one is born with divine power, it is impossible for flesh and blood to compete with steel and gunpowder.

Levi also had some basic concepts about the Volvot Kochinsky. Judging from the technical routes they showed, the relatively advanced forces in this world are still relatively primitive in terms of military technology.So who are these people?Levi was curious passionately, not caring at all about the handcuffs on his hands and the dark muzzles in front and behind him.

Passing through the devastated mine field, a tall six-wheeled vehicle appeared in front of him. It was different from the mobile city land those guys promoted. It was simple and capable, and full of high-precision manufacturing technology. Only, the traces of wind and sand erosion on the exterior coating show that it has experienced the test of a long journey.

This tall vehicle was by no means a good one. Levi saw the front and rear parts of the car on his side. Each had a cannon installed on the base. Above the barrel and body was a cylindrical shape similar to a Phalanx. Radar protective cover, and on the roof of the car, a turret is pointing towards the mine.The painting on the side of the car body, except for the decorative wide and narrow white ribbons, also has a six-column shading winged snake staff mark and a three-digit hull number, proving that it is a standard mass-produced vehicle.

Levi was unable to see any other features, so he was taken into the open hangar behind the vehicle by the soldiers. There was a four-wheeled armored vehicle parked on a fixed track on one side, and hanging racks on the bulkheads on both sides. There are four light fixed-wing drones with relatively simple structures, and some containers of unknown purpose are also stacked. It really feels like a familiar sight from my hometown...

Levi was taken to an isolated and closed cabin. There was a huge glass on one side of the wall, which seemed to be opaque. It was probably the standard observation window in the interrogation room.

The soldiers left him here and left. After a while, a young woman with a popsicle in her mouth, fiery red hair, and horns on her head walked in. She looked very casual in both her words, deeds, and clothes.

"Hello, I'm Shirte. I'm not the person responsible for questioning. I'm just here to watch so that you don't do anything to harm yourself."

"Ahem, Shirter..." Levi speculated on the name that reminded him of some Nordic mythology. The other party did not follow his common sense and arranged for a non-professional to watch him before the interrogation. , "I am Levi, Levi Klitschko, Miss Shirter, could you please let me know why you found me, a down-and-out researcher living on the border?"

Shirter licked the popsicle, picked up the file folder in his hand and looked at it twice, "You are not a down-and-out researcher living on the border. You and your laboratory are from another world. Alpha and the others know this very well. "

Alpha does not sound like a normal name, even in the local language. Levi speculated that this should be a code name, "May I ask about the Alpha you are talking about..."

Shirter glanced at the information on the file folder again, "If you want to ask who Alpha is, the answer is a time traveler like you who crossed the border of the world and came here. If you want to ask whether Alpha comes from the same place as you, In a world, the answer is no, that’s it.” She held a popsicle in her mouth and waved her hand.

"She knows what you do, she even knows what you will do in the future, and what your end will be without our intervention. So my suggestion is that you'd better keep a calm mind."

"Okay." There were so many things that the other party was willing to tell him, and Levi suddenly didn't know what kind of attitude the other party had towards him.However, what Shirter said about knowing his "past and future" sounds a bit fantasy.

"Can I ask some questions?"

Shirter glanced at the information again, "You can ask, but the answer is limited to what I know. I am a warrior, so don't expect to learn too much from me."

"Uh, okay." Levi looked at the innocent-looking girl in front of him. She always gave him the illusion of being hidden.

Levi tentatively asked a few questions, some innocuous questions about the Origin Stone technology and the Star of Life. Even the lazy Shirter could feel that he didn't want to ask anything, he just wanted to pass the question. Conversation makes you think, maintains a generally peaceful impression, and kills time.

Levi had an awkward chat with Shirter for a while. Shirter saw that he was thirsty and took an unopened popsicle from his incubator backpack and gave it to him. Shirter memorized many things. I don't know, she didn't like to brag, so she simply didn't say anything. The two of them were about to talk about what to eat tonight, and Levi sighed.

"On the way to the car, I noticed that the equipment you use does not rely on the Origin Stone. What are they powered by?"

"Use electricity. I see in the report that your laboratory is also using that reactor to generate electricity."

"Eh?" Levi, who had seen more than a dozen Source Stone engines but never seen a generator, suddenly realized that his thinking seemed a bit rigid. "Can you tell me about the reactor you used..."

"I don't understand this. They are all very long professional words. But when Alpha described the reactor of the Life Star, he said that there is a sun burning in its core. It seems to be called something like a muon, a nucleus, something like fusion. reactor."

The awkward smile on Levi's face during the awkward conversation froze, and he even forgot that his glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose. "Muons catalyze nuclear fusion, what kind of cosmic joke are you kidding..." No wonder these people don't use a substance with strange properties like Source Stone at all. They can produce tiny amounts of substances that humans can only rely on the hadron collider. The half-life is only microseconds. Muons are used as fusion catalysts. The most important thing is that this set of equipment can be integrated into a vehicle dozens of meters long and output huge power. What is the difference between this and holding the supreme authority of physics?

Are you just using this to test a scientist?Levi secretly smiled bitterly. Just the word "nuclear fusion reactor" was enough to make him give up all his past achievements and follow it desperately with the mentality of the humblest apprentice!

14. Leniency for confession.jpg

Alpha and Seria spent a lot of effort to deal with the local lord's guard who came after hearing the explosion. On the one hand, the other party was impressed by the martial virtues of Alpha and his party, and on the other hand, they were basically able to accept what Alpha and his party gave them. According to the investigation results of the incident, perhaps the previous part is more important. In short, the local armed forces temporarily left the area.

The captain of the guard named Pigal was also the daughter of a local lord and the sister of the young nobleman Rebaba who died underground. After learning what her own brother had done and that he was planning to kill his father and seize power, After colluding with foreign mercenaries to secretly create infected organisms underground in his own territory, he became quite indignant and accepted the fact that he died in the melee.

Since Changquan Town stopped mining the source stone, it has become a remote area where Colombians have no oil or water to fish. Although she can't figure out how the structures in the mine popped up overnight, the Colombians are sure He would not come to him on his own initiative, and his younger brother, who has become more and more powerful and flattering to foreign cultures since he went to study abroad, could do such a thing, Pigal was not surprised.

With things developing like this, she didn't want to cause any complications, so even if she didn't trust these new outsiders, she agreed to allow Alpha and his team to take away the outsiders they were looking for from the town, and then leave on their own.

……

Back in the car, Alpha and Ceria packed up and prepared to meet the new time traveler.

"Hello, I'm Alpha." Holding the materials, Alpha just sat down at the table when she saw Levi's almost fanatical eyes.

"I will confess everything! Miss Alpha, I will confess everything!" Levi's eyes flashed with expectation, "Can you let me take a look at the reactor used in this car?"

Seeing this scene, both Alpha and Ceria who were behind the glass were almost stunned.

"Sterl, did you tell him?"

"I just told you what I know."

"Haha." Alpha nodded, "Of course I can grant your request. After the inquiry is over, I can take you to see it in person. They are all mature technologies. If you need to know the technical details, I I can also give you reference materials." Alpha has been looking forward to shocking Levi for a whole year.
