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

After the "bringing everything" time travel, the memory that did not belong to her has been buried in a deserted corner, rarely noticed by herself. In her memory, Lamia is still the one with a bionic whale-shaped lower body. The structure, carrying the last wish of Atlantis at the Zero Point Energy Research Center, the one who doesn't know where to go, is the best upgrader for Luna's camp to deal with.

Unexpectedly, she would have such an experience later, which made Alpha, after receiving the memory of her own clone and the experience at the bottom of the sea, have some complicated emotions towards the special body she now incarnated.

"In order to keep her alive, her family sent her into the sea and sent her on a long voyage..."

"She is not smart enough, and her ancient body does not have powerful functions, but she is still working hard to live and find the direction of home."

Looking at Alpha's changing expression, Xu Yu suddenly realized Alpha's feeling. It was the expression that would appear when meeting a friend who had been forgotten for a long time again and listening to the other party talk about things that he had forgotten. .

She just listened quietly to Alpha telling intermittently what happened between her and Lamia. They were enemies and rivals, but he sympathized with her experience and admired those who shaped her and created a path for her to live. , the deeds of parents who cannot be parents.Finally, they met again in the deep sea, and sacrificed themselves to send her to her birth...

"I think Lamia is not stupid," Xu Yu touched Alpha's hair, which was still under the influence of the deflection. The long and delicate hair gave her a faint, strange feeling of touching the ocean tide, just like this beautiful hair. The owner of the hair is like a daughter blessed by the ocean, "Alfa, I think she is living very seriously and hard, isn't she?"

"..." Alpha raised her head again, her face with a melancholic temperament replaced with a confident smile like her usual, "Yes." She replied softly, continuing to enjoy Xu Yu's touch, until she reached the desk in the room. , the alarm bell rang to get up in the morning.

After getting out of bed, next to Alpha, the light that accompanied her when she used her high-dimensional biological abilities flickered for a moment. She seemed to be making final adjustments to the machine, and a strange-shaped weapon appeared in her hand. In his hand, he disappeared in a bubble of light and shadow a moment later.

"The adaptability of this machine to the ocean exceeds my expectations." Even without using the power to make any corrections and reinforcements, Lamia's new machine can easily withstand the earth's water pressure of four to 5000 meters, and It can swim at high speeds in the sea, and even maintain a high degree of concealment while swimming at high speeds.

Who is the darling of the sea now?At least Agor is not anymore!

……

While having breakfast, the trio of deep-sea hunters watched a fish tail flapping back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room. They were dumbfounded, their eyes were in disbelief, and the movements in their hands were astonishing.Gladia held a tuna sandwich in oil and didn't eat it for five minutes.Laurentina was carrying a finished apple and spinning around in the void. Skadi ate eight portions of xiaolongbao with a puzzled look on her face. Everyone was shocked in their own way.

Although Alpha can always give everyone some surprises, the three of them have never thought about this kind of thing turning into a somewhat melancholy fish.

"Good morning!" He was carrying the plates and delivering food to everyone as quickly as usual, but he was using a strange fish tail on the ground, moving forward in a way between a snake and an arch.

Alpha seems to have been greatly affected by the change of body. At least his speaking voice is much sweeter, and his greeting voice is also a little more lively.At the table where she usually sat in the restaurant, Xu Yu was drinking her sesame paste expressionlessly. Seeing Gladia looking at her with questioning eyes, Xu Yu shrugged helplessly, saying that she could do it. The rest has been done, and the rest is Alpha’s own choice.

I hope she is okay, I hope this machine will not fall apart in the sea, Gladia doesn't know why she thinks this way.

So, what kind of fish is Alpha?This was the thought of Laurentina who was having fun next to Gladia.

Are there any braised seal-flavored xiaolongbao?This is what is going on in Skadi's mind right now.

62. The arrow is on the string

"Routine report, the Life Star briefly stopped at the Ambrosio Monastery, replenished some of the agreed supplies for the monastery, and at the same time connected the outcast. Alpha also conducted relevant investigations on the Deep Sea Bishop Aulus, time Line traceback shows that Aulus has been completely destroyed by the microwave dismantling bomb, and the remaining hidden dangers are of low-level intensity. Currently, the Life Star has set off again, and its next stop is the Iberian coastal city, Saltwind City."

In front of the terminal in the captain's room, Alpha put a final stop to the action record during this period. With this short trip, she has completely adapted to Lamia's new body, and even likes to use the flotation device to float in the air. She has the unique feeling of swimming, but considering her own movement habits, she still uses her legs for daily activities.

She has also figured out the performance parameters of this machine. Without the bonus of any high-dimensional creatures and not fighting at home in the ocean, the overall combat performance of this machine is close to that of Lucia Alpha's Crimson Prisoner. If fighting at home in the sea, it would be difficult for Lei Mao himself to take advantage.

After Alpha used it skillfully, she ignored loss and did not rely on Pamish to provide strength. She had a more proficient mastery of various combat techniques and sufficient fighting confidence. With the addition of comprehensive factors, she used it deeply. The combined strength of the Utai machines is at least twice as high as Lamia's own.Even if she doesn't use more violent high-dimensional radiation amplification, she still has full confidence to make some earth-shattering movements.

However, her confidence was well hidden this time. She told everyone else that she was still adapting to the machine and could only assist in the battle.

Although this assistance from the side refers to chasing Gladia for ten nautical miles in an underwater simulated battle, everyone who only saw the surface agreed that Alpha was indeed not as strong as before before adapting to this machine.

Lamia's machine performance was impressive, which pleased Alpha, but in other ways it caused some minor annoyances.For example, recently the ghost shark kept coming over to pester her, wanting to ask her to swim in the sea or dance with her, but Xu Yu was very dissatisfied with this.

……

In the infirmary of the Star of Life, Alpha took out a bottle of pills from the drug synthesis table, printed out the label, affixed it, and handed it to Gladia, "This is the latest heirloom cell activity inhibitory drug, my biggest The toxic and side effects are minimized, but the cost is that the effect is reduced by half, and the absorption rate is slower than the injection, after all, it is an oral drug."

Gladia put away the medicine bottle and nodded. When her body had the characteristics of Haidong, she used a dose of prototype inhibitor. The result was that she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit for a week. Fortunately, those vague symptoms appeared. The scales really faded away, and the mysterious song that would vaguely appear in the depths of the mind when he was close to the sea disappeared. The drug itself had its effect.

"Take one tablet once a day for a week. If symptoms occur, just take it. In case of emergency, take four tablets for the first time."

"Okay..." Gladia nodded and carefully placed the small medicine bottle between her peaks. "Where are the two of them?"

"The situation of the two of them is much more complicated than yours. The influence from the deep sea is directly projected on Skadi's body, and the damage from the Origin Stone in the ghost shark's body has not been completely eliminated even now. However, close to the sea, Her symptoms will definitely get better after your hometown.”

"Um……"

"If you think it is necessary..." Alpha took out an artificial spine with three sections in length and was packaged in ultra-clean equipment. "Perform partial transformation of the tantalum 193 copolymer structure for both of them, so that I can do it for them." Blocking the influence from the deep sea, that kind of thing, the forced link offensive on the spiritual level, is a joke to me."

"..." Gladia looked at the artificial cyber spine. Artificial prosthetic organs are not an unachievable technology for Agor, but the technology behind this thing is far beyond Agor's ability. Inaccessible, humans in that world have learned how to partially control human consciousness and create carriers to replace fragile biological brains. This technology represents the in-depth study of human body science, as well as the miraculous achievements in materials science and engineering. Agor's technology is beyond the reach of Agor.

But is it really appropriate to use this imported technology to counter the influence of Poseidon?As Agor's technical executive, her arrogance and rigor forced her to repeatedly review this simple and crude but effective method.

……

The Siesta International Airport, which was expanded from the Siesta Airport, is a dual-use military and civilian airport. At the other end of the terminal runway, in a heavy-duty hangar reinforced with planetary engine materials, four newly manufactured, pioneer-type The transport aircraft is undergoing final loading preparations.

The four members of the Rainbow Team are gathering here. All of them have changed into tactical armor based on the Sky Garden Tactical Power Armor, which is specially modified for the marine environment. Weapons that look full of military virtue are fixed on their backs and waists.

In front of them, several action team members also wearing power armor were waiting for the next order.

"Recruits," Brother Machine Gun stood in front of the mission briefing table that was specially raised for power armor users, and said earnestly to these volunteer soldiers recruited from Rhode Island, "I know that you are all qualified in your respective fields. You have admirable expertise, but I ask you to keep in mind what you learned in previous training. The equipment you carry and the weapons you use are at least two generations more advanced than the standard series now being promoted in various departments. Before you actually use them in a battle, Don’t think you have mastered them until you survive the harsh war, do you understand?”

"I understand!" the newcomers replied in unison.

"Very well, I am not a person who likes to preach. For the next neural connection training, I will personally check your training results. Keep in mind the knowledge you have learned before. Trust the weapons in your hands, but be careful with them."

With that said, Brother Machine Gun picked up a weapon made by Alpha from the table. When he held it, Brother Machine Gun even felt the abundant martial virtue surging in his blood.

"'Quasar' refusion variable jet projector, the core temperature of the reaction chamber is 700 million Kelvin, the diffusion mode is adjustable, and under the condition of precision constraints, the core jet will be concentrated on an area of ​​150 square centimeters at a distance of [-] meters, without any Material can withstand this jet."

"Even Poseidon?"

"Even Poseidon."

This weapon bears the brand name of Norman Defense, a subsidiary of Norman Industries. It is said that Alpha successfully installed a miniature version of the planetary engine reactor in the reaction core of the heavy artillery part of the composite armor. No one knows how she did it. Did it, but she just did it.This weapon will only be authorized internally to the Maritime Response Team and be used in non-underwater operations. The extremely powerful and extremely high-energy fusion jet can vaporize any high-level Maritime node and can easily clean up a large area of ​​the Maritime Sea.

"I thought your name was Thorn, right boy."

The dark-skinned young man tapped the brim of his helmet, "Yes, sir, that's my code name."

"I'm impressed by your swordsmanship, but this time you're using a completely different weapon. Are you sure?"

“I’ve memorized the entire operating manual and practiced it.”

"Very good, you will be the first to simulate the drill. We still have a lot of time before receiving the next order."

63. Low profile action

The Life Star stopped some distance away from Saltwind City and began to deploy weapons and equipment on the spot, building a simple base with fire cover function.Automatic weapons platforms using multiple rocket launchers and large-caliber long-range mortars were quickly manufactured at the Walker production facility at the base of the business and installed in appropriate places.

All ammunition is filled with a fluidized thermite combustion agent prepared using a special adhesive. Compared with micro-nuclear fusion weapons, the cost is low enough, but the flame temperature is enough to directly burn away any spreading traces.

Alpha's experiments showed that the so-called inability to burn the traces with fire and the inability to burn the sea heirs is entirely because the various common incendiary agents and exothermic spells that can be used as weapons on the continent of Terra have a continuous burning temperature of only [-] to [-] ℃. degrees Celsius, and the burning time is not long enough. The firepower is either difficult to concentrate or the time is too short.

This means that these combat methods are of limited use in humid and watery coastal areas, if they are to be used to burn the fungus carpet that is hollow inside and contains a large amount of water.

However, this kind of special combustion agent, which uses thermite effect as the main source of heat release and is sufficiently viscous, can burn in water and create a stable high temperature exceeding [-] degrees Celsius, which can quickly carbonize and burn the traces.For groups of sea heirs that wash ashore, their continuous area damage can also play a good delaying role.According to the data measured by the drone, they only needed three rounds of bombardment to briefly block the entire Saltwind City beachfront with deadly flames that could kill Hai Hei.

In addition, there are also high-explosive anti-personnel ammunition used to kill low-level sea creatures. These traditional weapons are suitable for clearing a wider range of low-level units such as Terrorfish that lack protection at a faster speed.

This small artillery position composed of automatic turrets will serve as a back-up, using firepower to deny the Haihe who launches an offensive from the ocean.As for the city itself, Alpha remembered that in the plot, most of the residents here had eaten the blood and flesh of the heirs, which meant that almost every one of the people here were carriers, infected, and potential carriers of heir cells. of heirs.

Drones carrying enough microwave dismantling bombs to completely plow the place are hovering at high altitude. Once the situation gets out of control, they are an important line of defense to protect the humans on the ground behind them.

"I have prepared an armed team that has received professional training and is equipped with enough weapons and equipment to suppress any threat. Once we have a need for war, they can arrive anywhere in Iberia within a few hours."

On the deck of the Life Star, which served as the temporary operations headquarters, Alpha introduced the suppressive force he had prepared to the Iberian collaborators of the Salt Wind City operation, Grand Inquisitor Dario, and his apprentice Elini. Firepower.Of course, she did not mention microwave dismantling bombs here, but only mentioned that drones carrying bombs were on high-altitude alert.

"The Inquisition Army has no shortage of conventional firepower..." As a Grand Inquisitor who has been fighting with Haiji for a lifetime, Daario is holding on to these weapons that look very advanced, but it is hard to say how effective they will be at that time. Skeptical attitude, as he said, Iberia's Judgment Army, as a military force that faces Haihe all the year round, does not lack heavy firepower, even though the firepower of Alpha, a fully automatic artillery position, may be comparable to a Judgment Army legion.

"But in order to keep it secret, you didn't mobilize a large number of troops here, right? If necessary, we will need the firepower of these weapons to relieve us."

Alpha looked across Saltwind City, which was composed of old shipyards and the keels of unfinished golden fleet ships, and looked at the haze in the distance, the sponge that was churning the waves in a low and depressed manner. After a moment, she closed her eyes. , feel the sound of this sea.

Then she heard pieces of noisy chatter. Those voices were restless but dormant. Unlike what she imagined, those heirs were not hungry. Alpha could not feel the urge to eat from them. On the contrary, he could I feel a sense of mission to nurture my compatriots.

Those monsters in the sea are not even hostile to the residents of Salt Wind City. They are just waiting for them to voluntarily integrate into their own group and become a member of the "big group".

Boom——!On the distant sea, a thunder exploded, and the low heavy clouds were filled with electric charges generated by friction. From a distance, continuous lightning illuminated the dark sea surface in the distance again and again.

"Salt Wind Bishop Quintus is a clergyman of the local church. He dug a huge cavity under the church to accommodate his experimental equipment and various products. It was here that the ghost shark was persecuted. "Alfa placed a remote sensing scan of the underground structure on the table.

The Grand Inquisitor glanced at this strange woman who looked very much like an Argor, and his eyes were filled with distrust of her. However, his boss, Saint Carmen, repeatedly told him before leaving that he must trust a man named Alpha. The strange woman in front of him, who knew more secrets about the Deep Sea Cultists than the Tribunal, was Alpha.

"With this kind of information, let's just go in and kill the bishop. As long as we attack suddenly, he won't even have time to destroy the evidence in the basement. We can slowly investigate the information we want."

"Simple and straightforward, but who can guarantee that Quintus has been staying underground in the church, so we need an action to hook him. If we catch him, we have caught the mastermind and the main source of the threat. The rest of the work will be much easier." The doctor objected to the Grand Inquisitor's point of view.

But Alpha, who just listened to the trend, waved his hand and said that everyone should listen to what he said first, "Hai Hei can form a very efficient neural network through bioelectric signals and biochemical signals, and this means that we adopt "It is almost certain that there is a problem of leaking information and alerting the enemy."

"What do you mean?" Ceria looked at Alpha, she had roughly guessed her simple plan.

"We need to pretend that we discovered the problem by accident, and then go and solve it. We can't let him think that we got the information long ago and went straight to him. So what the doctor said makes sense. We need to cooperate with each other to put on a show. Drama.”

Saltwind City is the base of Quintus, but it is not the most active seaside city of Haihe. Only a small sub-group gathers here, so dealing with it in a low-key manner has become an option that needs to be considered.

64. Hold destruction at your fingertips

Using a cabin-type consciousness connection device, which does not look like something that can be made by modern people, to conduct deep-diving training of consciousness. Thorns has always longed for this mysterious technology that only exists in the legends of those veteran operators. In the end, What experience will it bring to you?

However, after volunteering to sign up for the action team that was announced as the "Special Biological Contamination Disaster Prevention and Control Team", there were so many novel things that made him feel overwhelmed. Even with his super receptive and learning abilities, he was a little overwhelmed. Degree.

After joining this team, he immediately felt that this team, which was theoretically affiliated with Rhode Island, was different from all the teams he had seen and experienced before.The strong man who always wears a heavy protective helmet, although he always speaks with some Ursus accent, but his conversation, his various behaviors and habits are very similar to that of the empire lingering in the north of the continent. , completely different in temperament.And he would never hide his disdain for the system of the Ursus Empire.

Thorny knew that among his Rhode Island colleagues who joined the team with him, there were many guys who had military experience, but they all agreed that this instructor Taqiangka was very different from the officers he had seen. The same goes for his companions.

There must be something different... At the last moment before the door of the consciousness link cabin closed, Thorny raised his head and looked at the row of large characters hanging on the wall of the opposite hangar, "Serve the People". At first, he did not He paid attention to that line of words, but as he joined the team for longer and longer, he may have a different understanding of these words.

It is said that the person who built the structure for this team was the mysterious Alpha. Her institutional construction surprised Thorns no less than her magical and sci-fi weapons and equipment surprised Thorns.

"They are all things that cannot appear in the current land of Iberia. I don't know if this is a kind of sadness." Thorny smiled to himself before the bright and soft white light overwhelmed his conscious consciousness.

But somewhere in the dark, a voice seemed to answer him. "Iberia, there is still time..." The voice was so distant and ethereal, but every word was clearly projected in his mind.

When his consciousness became clear again, Thorny realized that he was standing in an empty maintenance warehouse, and he was already wearing power armor. Before that, he had practiced using this equipment, with more than five hundred hour.

"Start self-examination." Thorns knew the power of this armor and the potential dangers of incorrect use.As a technical worker who has been studying hazardous chemicals for many years, his precautions against this potential danger are based on subconscious habits.As Mr. Tajanka said, there is no need to rush, there is still time for you to complete the process.Under normal circumstances, power armor's self-inspection and power-on preparation are indispensable, and there are strict regulations on the steps that can be skipped in an emergency.

"System, start." An electronically synthesized female voice came from the helmet, and then he felt a weak current flowing throughout his body. The nerve signal interaction array attached to the spine and the skin on the back of the head began to work, cooperating with the implant. The small implant in the body starts the link between the power armor and the user.

After a moment, Thorns could feel that the power armor had become a part of his body, those powerful electronic muscles, the outer armor of ultra-high-strength carbonized ceramics, the multi-layer protective sealing of flexible nanomaterials, and hundreds of thousands of buried transmissions. sense connector.All the information of the armor is efficiently aggregated into the onboard computer, processed into feelings that can be intuitively sensed by the human brain, and fed back to the user's nervous system.

"Connection completed——!" Hearing this sound, just like the previous training, Thorns jumped in place a few times to confirm whether the movement system and the corresponding data feedback system were working normally.Wearing this set of armor that weighs [-] kilograms, he can still step lightly and jump lightly, and can even control the force of landing without making too much noise. Thorns is sure that everything is running well.

"The motion system is normal, please confirm."

"confirm."

"Let's move on to the next item..." In the originally empty visor, the low-light projection HUD interface began to appear. As the inspection progressed step by step, the signs showing the functions of each part gradually lit up, and then were Move to the most suitable position.The HUD interface of the individual soldier smart face armor terminal. Every time I see this thing, Thorns feels incredible. How much research has the developer of this set of armor done to be able to organize the complicated content in such a simple and beautiful way? In this small space that can be covered by the field of vision.

"..." The last self-inspection is completed. The launcher rack on the shoulder of the armor is folded and stored back. The beam pistol in the outer thigh armor as a last resort is confirmed to be in normal condition. The weapons that come standard with these armors All in ready-to-use condition, now.
