Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

"What are you doing!" Ai Yue was horrified and subconsciously grabbed the table next to him, "Let go... Where do you get the strength from?"

Only then did he remember that the seemingly frail scholar in front of him was actually a fusion warrior.

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me to a laboratory!" Mobius said without even turning his head. "I want to verify the authenticity of your results!"

"Can you let me eat first? At least let me brush my teeth!"

"If your results are useful, I'll treat you to a year's worth of meals!"

Ai Yue was also very clear that ordinary people had no room to struggle in front of fusion warriors, so he gave up resisting.

The two of them quickly arrived at the First Research Institute. As soon as they entered, they saw a figure in a white coat busy at the laboratory table.

"Dr. Mobius, aren't you going back to rest?" Klein, who was still processing documents, looked up and saw Mobius holding a strange man and walking into the institute. "Oh, this is Mr. Ai Yue, right? Hello, my name is Klein, and I'm the doctor's assistant."

"You..." Ai Yue wanted to say hello to the human-like Klein, but Mobius had no intention of stopping and dragged him directly to the innermost room. So he could only wave his hand, leaving the other party in a disheveled state. "Okay."

"This is it." Mobius activated the instrument in the room, and the display screen soon lit up. "Enter your data. This machine will simulate the results of the fusion of the hypermutator and the human genome. Although the sample size is currently too small, the simulation results may not be reliable, but it is sufficient as a reference to test your results."

Ai Yue quickly input the information of the super-mutation factor he made into the machine, and Mebius was not polite at all, and directly simulated the results of a hundred consecutive fusion warrior operations... I mean, he simulated the results of a hundred consecutive fusion warrior operations.

If the success rate is really as high as the other party said... no, let alone 96%, even if it is only 9.6%, it is enough to instantly elevate Ai Yue's status within the Fire Moth to a height that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Even Mebius was secretly looking forward to it, hoping that among the one hundred simulation results, there would be at least ten successful fusions.

However, the results far exceeded her expectations.

The simulation results usually use green circles and red crosses to represent success and failure respectively. When Mebius conducted simulations in the past, there was usually a little green among the thousands of reds, but today it was completely different.

The green circle occupied the entire screen. Mebius looked over and over again, but could not find any failed simulation results.

"This..." She subconsciously tapped the monitor. "Is this thing broken? Did that guy just make another consumable to fool me?"

"Indeed, it feels like something went wrong," Ai Yue said seriously. "According to probability, there should have been at least a few failures. It seems the simulator isn't accurate enough."

Mebius looked at him, but this time he said nothing doubtful.

Facts speak louder than words. Since such a result is already in front of her, Mebius can only accept the reality.

But this makes things even more troublesome.

Thinking of this, Mebius took out his communicator and dialed a number.

"Mei, come to the first floor right now." Mobius' tone was very serious. "There is a very important matter that needs to be discussed. Don't tell anyone except your little follower."

A moment later, Dr. Mei also appeared in front of the simulator.

She looked at the results displayed on the screen, pondered for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Dr. Mebius, I didn't expect you to have studied the Garuda genome to this extent. It looks like it will be ready for use soon."

"It's not me." Mebius sighed and pointed to the side, "It's him."

Dr. Mei turned his head and saw Ai Yue flipping through Mebius's experimental notes. "Mr. Ai Yue?"

"Huh?" Ai Yue, who was taking this opportunity to frantically pump water into the system, looked up and saw Dr. Mei pointing at the display screen in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. "Oh, I did it."

Dr. Mei looked at Ai Yue, then at Mebius: "Mr. Ai Yue, did you do it alone?"

Mebius nodded.

"It only took one day?"

Mebius nodded.

"One hundred percent success rate?"

"He said it was 96% himself," Mebius said in a complicated tone, "and he also said that this simulator wasn't accurate enough."

"After all, Wei Erwei only spent three days making it, so it's reasonable that its performance is a bit lower." Dr. Mei nodded, then also showed a strange expression. "But, can such a thing really happen?"

Mebius didn't say anything, but handed over a piece of paper - that was the formula that Ai Yue had given her before, which could filter out redundant information based on patterns.

Dr. Mei had such a profound understanding of the Fusion Warrior Plan that after a simple analysis, he realized that this formula was absolutely correct. In fact, the value of a certain idea embodied in it was even higher than the formula itself. If some of the data in the formula could be modified according to this idea, it would not be impossible to use information from other areas to filter.

Therefore, her expression became strange.

The Fusion Warrior Plan can be regarded as a theoretical system that Mei and Mebius have worked hard on and summarized after spending countless energy and time. Although this system is still very simple now, and it can even be said to be a miracle that can only be created by gambling with life and luck, no matter what, it is the crystallization of their hard work.

However, there was a person who was able to perfect this crude and simple system to an incredible level within a day. If Dr. Mei had not seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely think it was some kind of illusion.

But now everything has happened.

Dr. Mei suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Aponya when he visited her last night.

After possessing the power of the psychic fusion warrior, the Fire Moth can be said to have completely lost the means to restrain Aponia. The opponent only needs a few words to directly disintegrate the entire Fire Moth. Even if it wants to use weapons of mass destruction, Aponia is fully capable of surviving it.

If Aponia had been hostile to the Fire Moths, then perhaps humanity wouldn't have needed to be destroyed by the Herrscher.

Dr. Mei went to visit Aponia, on the one hand to conduct a systematic study of her abilities, and on the other hand to test Aponia's attitude to see if he could convince her to fight against the collapse together.

However, after a brief conversation, Dr. Mei discovered that Aponya himself did not care much about anything in the outside world. Instead, he bound his own will to Ai Yue. For almost every question asked, Aponya would choose to answer from Ai Yue's perspective.

Just when Dr. Mei thought that Aponya's reaction was due to some emotion, Aponya's answer was beyond her expectations.

Aponya said, "I trust Mr. Ai Yue unconditionally because he is my savior. He once saved me from sin and will surely save the world from catastrophe in the future."

Dr. Mei also knew something about what happened in Dusk Street. He knew that Ai Yue had used the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device to save the sanatorium from the hidden danger of a Honkai outbreak. Therefore, he regarded Aponia's words as some kind of religious misunderstanding.

However, when she saw what was happening today, she realized that perhaps it was not a misunderstanding at all.

The Honkai Energy Adsorption Device and the Fusion Warrior Plan, the fields involved in these two projects can be said to be completely different. Even if the other party has previous experience and knowledge, it is difficult to apply it to the Fusion Warrior Plan.

However, it only took the other party one day to complete the work of editing the Garuda gene into a super-mutant factor.

This is no longer something that can be explained by human wisdom... Is it possible that there really is a God in the world?

As a scholar, Dr. Mei rarely cares about things in these areas.

But everything that happened today made her start thinking about this problem.

"Don't be in a daze, Mei." Mebius' voice woke Dr. Mei from her thoughts. She looked up and saw Mebius frowning. "What do you think about Ai Yue's matter?"

Mei came to her senses and quickly understood what Mebius meant.

"This matter of Mr. Ai Yue must also be kept secret. We must not let those people above us know about it, especially the 'opposition'."

Saving humanity is not an easy thing, because when you extend a hand, some people will not only not appreciate it, but will try to drag you into the abyss to make room for them.

The "opposition" within the Fire Moth is such a group of people. Among them, some people are really worried that the "fusion warriors" will become uncontrollable monsters and cause greater harm to human society, but more people are afraid that this uncontrollable power will affect their own status and interests.

For their own rights, these people are even willing to sell their lives to the Herrscher.

If these people knew about the terrifying talent that Ai Yue possessed, they would never allow such a person to continue living.

These hidden dangers must be resolved as soon as possible.

Chapter 23: Some people are better off dead than alive

If you ask Dr. Mei what the biggest crisis hanging over humanity is, she will say it is Honkai and Herrscher.

But if you ask her what is the most urgent crisis that humanity needs to solve right now, the answer will be completely different.

In Dr. Mei's eyes, the most urgent issue that needs to be resolved at present is the internal contradictions of mankind.

Although under the huge external pressure of Honkai and the Herrscher, humans reluctantly banded together and formed the Fire Moth, an organization that took charge of the overall situation and fought against Honkai, due to various reasons, the internal structure of the Fire Moth was not a solid block.

Those who oppose the fusion warrior plan are just one aspect of this internal strife. The real internal struggle is far more complicated than this.

The funding sources of the Fire Moth are very complex. There are grants from major countries, investments from multinational corporations, as well as compensation from internal patents or missions. It is precisely because of these different sources of funds that the top management of the Fire Moth is divided into various factions. Although their struggles are silent, they will not be softened for the sake of each other's interests.

To contain each other, they spent vast sums of money on spying on rival factions. To contain each other, countless weapons were pointed at their own people even in the most critical moments. To contain each other, elite warriors who should have been fighting bravely on the front lines against the Honkai were instead drafted into private assassination units...

If Dr. Mei could still tolerate these things, then those actions that, for their own benefit, stopped and sealed projects that could even benefit mankind, would touch her bottom line.

In order to fight against Honkai, Dr. Mei can mediate between these factions and try his best to gain more support, but if even "fighting Honkai" itself has to be used as a bargaining chip by those people, then what is the meaning of the existence of the Fire Moth?

"Mr. Ai Yue." Dr. Mei seemed to have made up her mind. She pulled a chair over and sat down, clearly having a lot to say. "What's next is very important. I hope to have your understanding and support."

"So serious?" Seeing Dr. Mei's expression, Ai Yue also put down the experimental materials in his hand and pulled over a chair. "Okay, I'm listening."

"Finally made up your mind, Mei?" Mebius apparently realized something and smiled. "That's right. Those who stand in our way should have been dealt with long ago."

"First of all," Dr. Mei said to Ai Yue instead of responding to Mebius, "the patent application for the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device has been temporarily frozen."

Before this, Dr. Mei had said that he would help Ai Yue apply for a patent for the "Honkai Energy Adsorption Device" so that if the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device could be put into mass production in the future, Ai Yue would also be able to receive patent fees.

Considering that the quality of the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device itself is enough to stand out among similar products, there is naturally no need to worry about sales, so this patent fee will obviously not be a small amount.

However, now he died before achieving his goal. If I say that there is no one behind this, I am afraid even Padofilis will not believe it.

"I see. I understand." Ai Yue nodded, then asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

"I'm afraid nothing you do will make much sense," Dr. Mei shook his head, looking a little puzzled. "But you don't seem angry at all?"

"I'm new here and I'm already stealing someone else's job. I'm lucky I didn't get beaten up," Ai Yue shrugged. "Dr. Mei, don't think I'm so ignorant of the ways of the world. Just tell me what's going on."

It was obvious that Ai Yue had realized what Dr. Mei wanted to say.

"Then I'll be frank." Dr. Mei nodded. "Perhaps you don't fully understand what you did yesterday, but it's undoubtedly a remarkable achievement. Putting aside Garuda's super-mutation factor, this formula alone will further improve the Fusion Warrior Project. However, all of this cannot be published for the time being, and only a few of us know about it."

"I understand." Ai Yue nodded. "I guess if this gets out, I won't get a promotion or a raise, right?"

"Yes, it will actually lead to fatal disaster." Dr. Mei briefly explained the situation with the opposition. "So until this matter is resolved, I hope you can keep a low profile and not draw too much attention."

"Don't even think about leaving him out of this, Mei." Mebius interrupted, "Ai Yue, do you want to join us and teach these scheming guys a lesson?"

"We're not absolutely sure about this kind of thing, so how can we drag Mr. Ai Yue into it?" Dr. Mei shook his head and looked at Ai Yue seriously. "Mr. Ai Yue, you're very talented, probably better than Mebius and me. If our plan fails, then I hope you can take on the responsibility of defeating Honkai after us."

Dr. Mei's tone was firm, yet revealed a calmness. It was obvious that she had made up her mind and was well aware of the possible consequences of this matter.

"I think what Dr. Mebius said is quite right. If I wait until you fail before doing anything, won't it be too late?" Ai Yue shook his head slightly. "Besides, now that things have come to this, it's impossible to stay out of this. Why don't you tell me about your plan, Dr. Mebius?"

Ai Yue knew very well that he was able to join the Fire Moth thanks to Dr. Mei's recommendation. After entering, he received care from Dr. Mei and Dr. Mebius. In the eyes of others, he had undoubtedly been labeled as a member of Dr. Mei's camp. If someone really wanted to attack Dr. Mei, he would not be able to escape.

Instead of expecting others to show mercy and let you go, it is better to take the initiative in your own hands.

Besides, how could Ai Yue miss such an opportunity to get closer to Dr. Mei and others?

"Well, if you insist," Dr. Mei sighed, but didn't insist. "First of all, have you heard of 'Poison Pupa'?"

Ai Yue shook his head honestly - although he knew it, he naturally couldn't show it at this time.

"The Poison Chrysalis is an assassination unit controlled by the Fire Moth's top brass," Dr. Mei explained. "This unit is usually used by the top brass to deal with those... uh, opponents with whom they disagree."

"That Sakura came out of the poisonous chrysalis." Mebius explained, "Mei knew her because of an assassination."

"In short, if we want to resolve the problem of internal friction, we must expand our voice," Dr. Mei continued. "And the best way to expand our voice is to possess sufficiently powerful military force."

"I plan to destroy the poisonous pupa and rebuild a secret force."

Chapter 24 I miss you, Yuri

Only when you have a big fist can you have the final say, and Ai Yue also agrees with this truth.

So he naturally supported Dr. Mei's plan - but that was not enough.

"Excuse me, but simply expanding your voice isn't enough," Ai Yue said. "Relying solely on a secret force to suppress internal conflicts within the organization is only a temporary solution. Unless those people are willing to put aside their past conflicts, you'll only attract hatred back to yourself."

"There may not be fierce conflicts between them anymore, but these people definitely don't mind pointing their fingers at you and disgusting you at various moments."

Malice will not disappear because of violence, it will only be hidden temporarily and then erupt more violently.

"You're right, but there's nothing better to do right now." Dr. Mei sighed, clearly aware of the shortcomings of this plan. "If I can free them up to focus their energy and financial resources on more important areas, then I'll be fine with being targeted. I'm not afraid anyway."

Dr. Mei smiled when he said this, obviously thinking of Kevin.

"Just kill them all, what a bunch of annoying guys." Mobius said impatiently, "Kill a group of them and they will behave themselves."

"Unless you're sure you can kill them all before anyone has a chance to react, it will only trigger a larger civil war." Dr. Mei looked at Mebius with a look that said, "How could you be so naive?" "The vast majority of the world's wealth and military power are currently in the hands of that group. Unless we have a well-thought-out plan and can kill them all in one fell swoop, we can only resort to intimidation."

It can be seen that Dr. Mei has considered this option.

"Oh, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should I do?" Mobius glanced at Ai Yue and suddenly remembered something. "Oh, that girl who performed the fusion warrior surgery before... Aponia? Isn't her ability mind control? Find an opportunity to gather those high-ranking officials and let Aponia control them all, right?"

"There's a difference between Aponya's 'Commandments' and true mind control. Furthermore, her abilities are still in the observation and testing stages, and may not truly reach the level of mind control." Dr. Mei sighed. "And do you think the higher-ups don't know about Aponya's intelligence? They might have received the detailed report even before you did."

The top management of the Fire Moth is not a bunch of fools who are just sitting there doing nothing. How can there be any fools who can hold a position in the top management of the Fire Moth?

Underestimating the enemy will only lead to your own doom. Counting on the enemy's negligence to complete your plan will not end well.

"I also don't recommend you use Aponia's abilities for this kind of thing." Ai Yue shook his head. Compared to the two scholars, he understood Aponia better. "When she does things, the results usually run counter to her own goals. Perhaps you just want the Fire Moth leaders to unite to fight the Honkai, but if you use Aponia's abilities, it's very likely to create a group of warmongers who will push civilization to extremes."

Ai Yue, who knew the original plot direction, was very clear about the consequences of Aponia's ability. Some people might think that Aponia's powerful ability was a gift from God, but in Ai Yue's view, this ability, coupled with Aponia's compassionate character, was precisely the embodiment of the so-called malice of God.

Judging from most of the consequences of the "commandments", it is more of a curse than a gift.
