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

In fact, a small beast tide formed by a thousand Honkai beasts is not something that fifty fusion warriors can deal with. After all, their individual strength is not too strong, and they are not equipped with hot weapons. Under normal circumstances, it is already very good to be able to eliminate three hundred Honkai beasts.

So when the soldiers heard that the enemy unit had a thousand Honkai beasts, they couldn't help but feel a little insecure.

"According to the training content, form a basic battle formation in groups of three and prepare to engage the enemy!"

As the team leader, Kosmo quickly gave the order, "Don't panic, just try your best to exert your full strength!"

On the other side, Ai Yue was still communicating with Su: "How do you feel now?"

"It's as strange as having fifty extra arms."

Su said in a strange tone, "I can feel that they each have their own consciousness, but it seems that if I want, I can also forcibly control them..."

"After all, your mental power is still too strong. Be more restrained and don't interfere with their thoughts. Just make sure your abilities can function normally."

Ai Yue nodded. "Besides, using the word 'arm' to describe it is actually incorrect. Theoretically, you have fifty extra brains."

"This sounds much scarier than having fifty more arms..."

While the two scholars were still discussing, the fusion warriors under Kosmo's command had already collided head-on with the tide of Honkai beasts. However, what no one expected was that the Honkai beasts that were supposed to attack them, for some reason, turned their attacks on their compatriots around them, and then started killing each other.

What's worse, although its front limbs were clearly raised high in preparation for trampling, it suddenly restrained its strength for some reason, which caused the center of gravity of its body to shift, causing it to fall to the ground, looking extremely funny.

When the soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but show strange expressions, but they soon realized that this was help from the person in the coffin, so they no longer hesitated and took the initiative to attack.

Under such circumstances, the battle that should have been an advantage for the Honkai beasts soon became a battlefield where the Fusion Warriors ruthlessly harvested them. Busy fighting themselves or their own kind, the Honkai beasts were unable to launch an effective offensive and easily lost their lives.

Of course, although the advantage was huge, the fusion warriors were not unscathed because the chaotic situation caused by the Honkai beasts caused some people to be caught up in the chaos during the attack and were directly knocked out.

Although the physical injuries were minor, considering that such an incident would definitely be laughed at by his comrades, it could also be seen as a severe psychological blow.

However, after this little episode, the fusion warriors became more cautious. After all, no one wanted to be the next victim.

But even if they slowed down, the thousand Honkai beasts were still wiped out in a very short time. Although most of them were killed by the fusion warriors, a small number of Honkai beasts died at the hands of their own compatriots.

"Report, the battle is over."

Kosmo quickly regrouped the warriors and reported the results to Ai Yue, "Except for one person who was slightly injured, the remaining forty-nine were unharmed."

"Good."

Ai Yue nodded, then looked at the coffin beside him... and Su inside. "Su, what do you think?"

“The feeling is that it’s a bit strange.”

Su's tone was filled with subtle emotions. "Theoretically, my ability shouldn't have such a strong effect on Honkai beasts. Dr. Ai Yue, have you added any new technology?"

The reason why there is no one other than Desdobia, a fusion warrior of the spiritual perception type, fighting on the front lines is precisely because their abilities do not have a significant effect on Honkai beasts.

If the ability of an ordinary fusion warrior causes 1 damage to both humans and Honkai beasts, then a fusion warrior with mental perception can cause 2 or even 3 damage to humans, but conversely can only cause 0.3 damage to Honkai beasts.

Because the spirits of Honkai beasts are fundamentally different from those of humans, they do not possess the same thinking and spirit as humans, so interference on the spiritual level is extremely minor for them.

Even a psychic of Aponia's level, when facing Honkai beasts, basically uses the lightning generated by the powerful psychic power interfering with reality to directly destroy their bodies, rather than controlling them through "commands".

It's not like Su hasn't experimented with Honkai Beasts before, but when facing Honkai Beasts, his ability can basically only eliminate his own traces, thus achieving an effect similar to "invisibility" in the Honkai Beasts' perception system. Not to mention making Honkai Beasts attack each other, he can't even expel them.

He originally thought that by extending his ability to other people, it would be almost equivalent to group invisibility, but he didn't expect it to directly cause chaos in the Honkai beast group. Such a result was obviously not normal.

The only explanation is that Ai Yue also used other technologies.

"Very sharp."

Ai Yue smiled, but his expression turned serious again. "Unfortunately, it's not really a new technology. It's just a way of utilizing the power of the Eighth Herrscher."

The spiritual realm is an area where Ai Yue finds it difficult to make a breakthrough even with the help of the system, not to mention that there is an essential difference between the spirits of Honkai beasts and humans, and the experience and technology therein are simply not common. Therefore, for a long time, Ai Yue's research on Honkai beasts has not made much progress.

All of his current achievements in the spiritual field basically come from the consciousness power of the Eighth Herrscher, and the reason why Su's ability can have such an obvious effect on the Honkai Beast is also due to the power of the Herrscher.

Simply put, it is to use the power of consciousness to "enlighten" the Honkai beasts, and by temporarily giving them human-like mental powers, to influence their bodies beyond their own consciousness.

From the current perspective, the effect can be said to be very obvious, but the cost is also extremely high.

"Okay, the technical test is over, let's return to the normal process."

Ai Yue glanced at the test data in his hand, then pressed the button on the coffin and took out the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher. "Kosmo, have the warriors disperse deep into the Honkai Beast herd. I need to test the maximum coverage of the Pseudo-Domination Network."

12

Chapter 12 Ai Yue, you love me so much...Oh, I've used this before.

I won’t go into details about the testing process, but in short, the results are very good.

Even if he was more than ten kilometers away from Su himself, his mental power and special abilities could still take effect on the fusion warrior, making him "invisible" in the perception of the Honkai beast, so that he could safely pass through the extremely dangerous beast tide area.

However, Su's ability is not omnipotent. According to Ai Yue's speculation, his ability cannot work in front of Honkai beasts above the emperor level. Therefore, it can only be used to bully Honkai beasts created by ordinary Honkai disasters. Once he encounters a large Honkai disaster that can create a Herrscher, he will be restricted.

Of course, considering that there are not many Emperor-level Honkai beasts, and the Judgment-level and the Law-Ending-level that cannot be specifically defined are even rarer, there is still a lot of room for this technology to be used.

What's more, this is just the effect brought about by Su's ability. If it is replaced by other fusion warriors with spiritual perception, there may be more special uses.

"It's just that the practical value of this technology doesn't seem to be very high."

Kosmo said doubtfully, "If it's just for fighting ordinary Honkai beasts, then there's obviously no need for the warriors to conduct infiltration operations. Besides, a team of fifty fusion warriors might be effective in a regular disaster, but it would be very ineffective if the disaster scales up."

Although Kosmo is not very old, he has fought many tough battles with Hen and Kevin. He has rich combat experience and is naturally aware of the limitations of this technology.

First of all, stealth and infiltration cannot play a big role in the current direct combat against Honkai beasts. Secondly, the scale of fifty people is too small. Even if this number is doubled, it is just a drop in the bucket when facing the sea of Honkai beasts. Finally, there are very few spiritual perception fusion warriors who can control the "pseudo-dominance network". Su himself is a doctor and has his own work. He can't be on standby at the front line for a long time.

In other words, this technology is unlikely to have much effect in the current increasingly severe war situation. In comparison, Kosmo prefers the "atomic disintegration missile" technology submitted by Ai Yue before the Ninth Great Collapse.

It can trigger an atomic fission reaction on all matter within a radius of 500 meters, and the diameter of the effective killing range is even more than 3 kilometers. Such a terrifying weapon is obviously what is urgently needed to fight against the collapse.

"You're right. The fact is that this technology does have many limitations."

Ai Yue didn't refute Kosmo's opinion, but nodded. "So today we're just testing it—but you're wrong about one thing. The range of influence of this thing isn't just fifty people."

"I feel it too,"

Su sighed in the coffin, "No wonder Dr. Ai Yue just said that it's not fifty arms, but fifty brains... The pseudo-dominance network can allow other people in the network to act like signal transmitters, spreading my abilities to further places, right?"

Kosmo was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"That means, it's not fifty people, but fifty teams."

Ai Yue explained, "Just think of those fifty people as fifty wireless routers. Su's ability isn't just to protect them, but to cover an area centered around them. This way, anyone within that range, even if they're not in the 'pseudo-dominated network,' can enjoy the same abilities."

This is the true meaning of "fifty brains" - in the "pseudo-dominant network", the minds of other people are also given the same properties as Su, so it is equivalent to Su using their mental power to release his own abilities. Although it cannot be directly said that Su's mental power has increased fifty times (after all, the mental power of ordinary fusion warriors is limited), there is no doubt that Su's own abilities have been greatly enhanced.

"If there are fifty teams,"

Kosmo thought for a moment and said, "Then at least it can be useful in some special circumstances."

"Don't worry too much, this technology won't be implemented so quickly."

Ai Yue patted his shoulder and said, "At least the first place it will be used won't be on the front line of the battlefield."

Ai Yue was of course aware that this technology would hardly play any significant role on the front battlefield, so his initial goal was actually mainly focused on post-disaster rescue.

During the great collapse disaster in Atla City this time, many people actually still had a chance to be rescued after the first round of disaster, but the vast sea of collapsed beasts, even if it did not kill them, blocked all ways to rescue them, so that they could only wait to die silently.

With this technology, combined with Su's "invisibility" ability to travel through the sea of collapsed beasts, if a similar situation occurs again, the Fire Moth can organize multiple rescue teams to rescue as many people as possible.

Of course, Ai Yue doesn't plan to make these things public for the time being. After all, there is only one Su, and this method cannot be promoted on a large scale before an alternative solution is found.

After finishing the test, Kosmo quickly left with his team - their base had not been built yet, so they could not stay in Australia and had to leave early.

"Dr. Ai Yue,"

After coming out of the coffin, Su suddenly said to Ai Yue hesitantly, "You shouldn't... push yourself too hard."

As a doctor, Su's ideas coincided with Ai Yue's. His first reaction was to use this technology for post-disaster rescue, so he naturally guessed Ai Yue's ideas.

But this made Su feel a little uneasy about Ai Yue's plan.

"What do you mean?"

Ai Yue didn't understand Su's thoughts for a moment, and couldn't help but look at him with doubt.

"You can't save everyone,"

Su finally decided to speak out, "Putting everyone's lives on your shoulders, no one can bear such pressure."

This is what Su thinks of Ai Yue.

Although the losses suffered by humans in the last two major collapse disasters have been reduced to a level that was unimaginable in previous years, Su could see that Ai Yue was still very dissatisfied with this.

Whether it was his own decision to assassinate the Eighth Herrscher on his own, or his plan to lure all the remaining Herrschers of Domination to Australia for a subsequent annihilation, it could be seen that Ai Yue was doing his utmost to prevent anyone from dying, even at the risk of a huge loss.

But in this case, Ai Yue would be responsible for everyone's life. How could a human being bear such a responsibility?

13

Chapter 13: Watch carefully, this is how the power of the fusion warrior is used.

Su is a doctor. Before joining the Fire Moths, he would try his best to save every patient he saw. He would be happy for their recovery and blame himself for their death. This self-restraint has not changed even after joining the Fire Moths.

But even so, he is very clear that some things are simply beyond the control of humans. Even the lives that he can touch cannot be completely saved. How can he prevent every tragedy that happens far away in every corner of the world?

In Su's opinion, Ai Yue is already a very powerful person. Even if we look back at the entire human history, there is probably no human being whose ability can be compared with his. The contribution he has made in less than a year since joining the Fire Moth has even surpassed the value created by the entire Fire Moth for mankind.

But even so, Ai Yue couldn't save everyone.

"You should focus your energy on more important areas,"

Su advised, "Don't think too much. You're already under a lot of pressure. If you continue like this, you'll collapse soon!"

Ai Yue looked at him and suddenly laughed: "I really didn't think you were trying to persuade me with these words."

"I hate myself for having such thoughts. There is no distinction between noble and humble human lives. Every life should be saved."

Su sighed, his expression darkening. "But you... Dr. Ai Yue, you've really done a great job. You shouldn't be so obsessed with things like this. If you only care about the lives of a few, you might miss out on saving many more."

At this moment, Su found it difficult to figure out what he was thinking. From a doctor's perspective, he must agree with Ai Yue's behavior. Although the number of people who can benefit from this technology is insignificant compared to the entire human race, they should not be abandoned.

But a person's energy is limited. If Ai Yue could devote more of this talent to projects to combat the collapse, perhaps more people could be saved.

Thinking of this, Su even felt a little sad, because he now clearly realized that although he said that he did not want Ai Yue to be crushed by responsibilities, the thoughts in his mind had undoubtedly regarded Ai Yue as a savior.

Perhaps, knowing how important Ai Yue was to humanity, he didn't want him to be under such immense pressure. But besides offering a few indifferent words, what else could he do?

He couldn't even share the pressure with the other party.

"You should stop thinking too much."

Ai Yue came over and patted Su on the shoulder. "Don't worry, it's just the lives of all mankind. I won't be crushed by such a responsibility."

I didn't deny that I had such a heavy responsibility.

Su looked at the smile on Ai Yue's face, and finally shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, Dr. Mobius's evaluation of you is not wrong."

Wanting to save everyone and taking it for granted... How can there be such arrogant people in the world?

"I guess it's not a good thing?"

Ai Yue shook his head, then revealed a subtle expression. "Speaking of Mobius... Su, I wonder if there's a project that might interest you?"

The young doctor blinked, and read something amiss from Ai Yue's expression: "No, I'm not interested. I have something to do at the Fifth Research Institute, so I'll leave first..."

"Oh, look at you, you're anxious again."

Ai Yue put his arm around Su's shoulders, a meaningful expression on his face. "You just said so much righteously, and now I need you for something, and you're still rejecting me? This is your chance to help me share the pressure!"

"Your rhetoric is becoming more and more like Dr. Mobius's."

Su looked at the expression on the other person's face, as if he saw the shadow of another person in it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, let's talk about the project first."

"That's right!"

Ai Yue then let go of his hand and snapped his fingers, "Please watch the VCR."

Prometheus was very sensible and put a video on the screen.

It was a video recorded from the perspective of a monitor in a certain laboratory. From this angle, Su could clearly see a woman with long green hair lying on the operating table in the center of the laboratory, and Ai Yue was standing next to her.

There was only one operating table in the huge laboratory, and to be honest, it looked a little too empty.

"Is that Dr. Mobius?"

Su looked at Ai Yue with some surprise, "How rare, Dr. Mebius lying on someone else's operating table..."

According to past experience, the positions of Mebius and Ai Yue are usually swapped.

"After all, she's the only one who can do this project."
