Arknights? Colonization Ark!

"I have only heard some of your deeds from Bodracasti. You are a legend in this land."

Zhang Miao’s compliment did not make Kal’tsit happy. After she watched the whole process of the experiment, she knew that no country on Terra could face this person alone.

Even without considering the unknown spaceship, just based on the blue origin stone, as long as it can be mass-produced, he will be invincible.

If he was more ruthless, he would arrange for people to carry this source stone into the mobile cities of those countries.

Then shout "Allahu Akbar"

The scene was so beautiful that Kal'tsit couldn't even imagine it.

"I hope you can understand that this fragile land can no longer withstand a war that is too intense. Many people in this world have already exhausted all their strength just to survive."

The man in front of him was different from most people he had met before. He was definitely not someone who could be fooled by a few words.

Zhang Miao took a sip of tea. The Kal'tsit in front of him was a little different from what he had imagined. It seemed that she was not from the previous civilization.

"I have no interest in destroying the world. You should be happy about this. If you are a little less lucky, some guys might pack you up into triplicate and squeeze out every last bit of your usefulness."

Zhang Miao had also heard a little about those guys' style. In order to maximize their benefits, they would do anything.

The motto of this group of dangerous elements is: Ethics and morality are just clay in our hands and can be manipulated at will.

But Kal'tsit was extremely horrified when she heard this. What does it mean to package it into three portions?

But the other party didn't seem to be joking. It turned out that the universe had become so dangerous. Compared with what Zhang Miao just said, the relationship between the Terrans could be described as harmonious and friendly.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, especially for your willingness to lend a helping hand to the infected. We will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts."

Kal'tsit has some idea of ​​the level of an interstellar civilization.

To put it bluntly, if someone fired a shot at Taila when passing by, they would have no place to seek justice.

In this lonely universe, weakness is really the original sin, especially for the natives like Terra who hold a mountain of gold, they are just like a three-year-old child holding gold in a busy city.

"Don't be too quick to thank me. I'm afraid I'll have to kill some pretty quick."

Let's end this charade.

Chapter 6: How terrible! It affects my appetite

Kal'tsit also knew what the other party meant by this. She knew very well what Ursus' policy was towards the infected.

No matter what Zhang Miao's purpose was in building a city here, Ursus would never allow a city full of infected people to continue to expand here.

It is only a matter of time before the conflict between the two sides breaks out, and Ursus may not even know who his real opponent is until his death.

The original garrison commander of Xueyuan, Rennan Kampf, finally got the opportunity to climb up after spending a year and a half, thanks to the corruption information he found last time and a large amount of money to bribe people.

During this period, he was also very sensible and always turned a blind eye to the losses of those infected in the mine. Even if he encountered robbers on the road, he would just abandon the robbers and drive away.

Let the big guys deal with their own issues, and small characters like me should just pretend that I didn't notice anything.

Anyway, people have to forget so many things in their lifetime, why not forget this thing as well?

Thanks to him, during this year and a half, Zhang Miao almost completely plundered all the villages and gathering places of all sizes in the snowfield. He also robbed the mines every few days and even played the role of a bandit many times along the way. Finally, he robbed the population required for the first phase of the project, 470,000 people.

It turns out that when it comes to population, it’s faster to steal it from others than to have children of your own.

But this new guy is obviously very ignorant. He has only been here for less than a week, but he is already planning to ambush the troops attacking the mine. He is even threatening to kill all the infected people who dare to escape and resist.

very scary!

If such a person were allowed to live, he would probably eat two less bowls of rice at night.

......

Kolchak was a royalist

Even after the great rebellion, when the military nobles were driven out of the Castle of the Holy Sepulchre due to their failed struggle, he still had an almost fanatical loyalty to the emperor.

Because their family motto is to fight for the glory of Emperor Ursus, and the education he received since childhood is also to be blindly loyal to the emperor.

But this goes against the thinking of other nobles who have just lost some of their power.

The military nobles' patience with the emperor was gradually wearing out due to the increasingly intense internal circulation. The loyal Kolchak was incompatible with them and was excluded everywhere.

It happened that Rennenkampf was promoted this time, leaving a vacancy for the snowfield garrison. After these nobles discussed it, they simply threw Kolchak over. Out of sight, out of mind, they let him serve the emperor in the snow.

"These damned infected people did not cherish the opportunity granted by His Majesty the Emperor to keep their lives and continue to work for the Empire. They even dared to resist and escape, betraying His Majesty's kindness. It turns out that all infected people are born inferiors. The glory of the Empire will bless every citizen of Ursus. It is precisely because of their disloyalty to the Empire that the Originium has the opportunity to take advantage of them."

"That Kampf is also a fellow who neglected his duties. He actually let the infected people grow in power in the snowfield while he hid in the barracks like a coward. I really don't know how lucky he was to have the leverage over the new nobles. But it's okay. This time I was allowed to come and set things right. I have already repaid His Majesty's grace."

"These lowly people who obtained their titles with money and Your Majesty's grace don't appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but dare to embezzle state property. If I find out, I will definitely throw all of them into the boiler and make them repent! Let everyone watch carefully, and this is the fate of those who dare to disobey Your Majesty."

Kolchak's adjutant stood beside him, listening silently to his superior's incessant chattering for the entire morning.

These words contained Kolchak's resentment, enough to overflow from the tent, so that the guards on duty outside could feel his dissatisfaction and complaints.

To be honest, these guards felt that the past days were pretty good. They didn't have to fight to the death with guerrillas or integration movements. They just trained and rested in the base every day, which was awesome.

But it was obvious that the new garrison commander did not understand the ins and outs of the snowfield, and Kampf did not specifically remind him. He had heard of his cruel style of doing things, and even if he advised him with good intentions, it would be ignored. It would be better to let this guy suffer a loss here and learn a lesson for him.

No matter how much the bosses fight with each other, it won't cost them their lives.

Soon, as he was complaining, a soldier with snowflakes all over his clothes walked into the tent and handed Kolchak a military letter.

Kolchak tore open the envelope, took out the letter, glanced at it casually, and then smashed it on the table viciously. The sudden loud noise scared the sleepy adjutant.

"These damn infected people actually broke their promise at a time like this. They are really a bunch of lazy pigs!"

Kolchak looked through all the records of the past year and a half, and planned on the map the guerrillas' entire activity routes and ranges on the snowfields, from which he found out their attack patterns.

According to estimates, the guerrillas would definitely attack the mine in three days or a week. However, after he notified them, there was no movement for seven days. Not only the mine, but the entire snowfield seemed to be quiet. No news about the guerrillas was heard.

According to past experience, among the dozen or so routes for escorting infected persons throughout the snowfield, the escort teams were intercepted by these guerrillas eight out of ten times.

Why did it suddenly become quiet?

Kolchak stared at the guy who delivered the letter with an angry and suspicious look. The soldiers who were stared at felt cold all over, as if they were being stared at by some malicious beast.

"It must be because you guys neglected your training, slacked off, didn't hide well, and leaked the news, so you were discovered by those pigs!"

After saying that, he would pull out the whip from his waist and teach these lazy guys a lesson.

The adjutant on the side quickly stopped him.

Are you kidding? He has only been in the military camp for a few days and hasn't even established his prestige. If he suddenly abuses the soldiers at this time, it will inevitably cause criticism.

"Sir, it's not that they neglected their duties. Rather, the infected people heard about your arrival from somewhere, so they were frightened and hid in the mountains and dared not come out."

Kolchak was very satisfied with the adjutant's explanation and lowered his whip.

"That's right. These rats that are used to the sewers must have heard that your majesty's glory will shine on this frozen land, so they are hiding in the dark corners."

"Gather the soldiers. I want to make sure these stinking bugs know that the Empire's territory cannot be trampled on by these filthy bastards. We must use their blood to cleanse every inch of land they step on."

Chapter 7: Kal'tsit, are Terrans considered human beings?

"War is not a wise choice, there may be better options"

At this time, the internal conflicts in Ursus were acute, and the slightest disturbance could lead to a full-scale counterattack.

Even if Zhang Miao was confident enough to win in the end, he would only get a piece of uninhabitable rotten land.

The defeat or even destruction of Ursus will most likely lead to the collapse of the entire northern front. By then, not to mention Ursus, I'm afraid the entire Terra will be shrouded in the shadow of destruction.

"You may have persuaded the wrong person, Kal'tsit. It was not me who chose to declare war on Ursus, but the times that chose to abandon Ursus. It was on a path that was destined to perish, and I just gave it a gentle push from behind, accelerating the process."

Kal'tsit understood that Ursus was now facing internal and external troubles, having lost many foreign wars, and workers' strikes and student demonstrations were no longer new things.

Even when she passed by the mobile city for supplies, she could clearly feel that the tension between the new and old nobles was getting stronger and stronger. If they did not start the next foreign war, this behemoth might explode in the internal friction.

But Kal'tsit still wanted to resolve this war, or at least control it within the smallest scope. Terra was now just a broken sampan sailing in the sea. The boat was already packed with people, and there were countless monsters in the water. Not to mention that there was a hole in the sampan, and any bigger movement could result in the destruction of the boat and the death of people.

"You may not understand what I mean. It has been less than two years since you woke up from the spaceship. Your understanding of this land is still superficial. Under the stable surface of this world is..."

Just as Kal'tsit wanted to change Zhang Miao's mind by revealing some of Terra's secrets, at least she could be cautious and delay for a while so that she could go back to the doctor to discuss countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Miao reached out and interrupted her words.

"Kelsey, I have a question for you."

problem?

That's right, he already knew that he was an immortal, so he must want to get some useful history or information from her.

"Please ask me, I will tell you everything I know."

Zhang Miao was originally sipping tea from the cup calmly, and after getting Kal'tsit's answer, he put the cup back on the table. The crisp sound made by the bottom of the cup hitting the table suddenly made Kal'tsit feel something was wrong.

"You say, are the Terrans considered human beings?"

A simple question sounded like thunder in Kelsey's heart.

What does he mean?

"That depends on your definition of 'human'."

Kal'tsit was hoping that what the other party was talking about was just the definition of human rights between aliens and indigenous peoples.

But Zhang Miao's next words shattered her last fantasy, making her feel cold and as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

"Bears, rabbits, cats, dragons, cannibals... I have to say that your former civilization was really good at playing tricks."

Zhang Miao named a bunch of animals or mythical creatures like calling out the names of dishes, but every time he said one, Kal'tsit's headache got worse.

Finally, Kal'tsit had to almost plead with Zhang Miao to stop.

"Please do not disclose these matters to others, Mr. Zhang. If they knew the truth, they might not be able to bear the shock and make irrational decisions."

There are hundreds of thousands of people in Zhang Miao's city now. These hundreds of thousands of people represent countless genetic samples, which are enough for him to uncover all the secrets hidden in the bodies of the Terrans.

Animal-eared girl? Genetic modification?

Laugh to death.

Judging from their internal and external structure alone, they are indeed almost exactly the same as humans.

But the real problem lies elsewhere.

Their genetic map contains something that normal organisms do not have - Originium atoms.

This thing replaced a small amount of carbon atoms in their genetic structure. Zhang Miao didn't think there was anything wrong at first. After all, Originium atoms are indeed highly similar to carbon atoms in chemical properties. It should be normal for them to be inserted into genes during transcription. Moreover, perhaps the genes involved in these Originium atoms are the basis for the Terrans to unleash the Originium technique.

But when he suddenly had an idea to replace all the Originium atoms in Yelena's genetic structure with carbon atoms, and then let Lexington simulate from scratch based on this, problems arose.

Yelena, who was supposed to be a cute bunny-eared girl, turned into a human-sized rabbit...at least she looked like a rabbit.

This scene was so horrifying that even Zhang Miao himself was shocked.

Then, not giving up, he tried the genes of Tallulah, Petrova, Bozhukas... over and over again.

The end result is that what keeps them in human form is not the information contained in their own genes, but the power of Originium atoms.

Zhang Miao did not tell anyone about this horrible discovery.

The Terrans may not be able to accept this reality, the reality that they are not actually human.

It’s Originium again, and this Originium again.

This ghost thing seemed to be everywhere in Terra. Whenever he wanted to study it in depth, it would suddenly jump out, as if mocking Zhang Miao.

Didn’t expect it, it’s me again!

NMD, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to blow up the Originium with one punch!

But the result of his research for so long was the blue origin stone crystal.

Through special treatment, the properties of the Originium are changed so that it can stop absorbing energy while maintaining a high-voltage field inside and still absorb radioactive high-energy particles from the outside. Then a certain amount of plutonium 239 and deuterium are implanted in the center of the Originium.

The radioactivity of plutonium metal is blue, which also makes the Originium appear blue.

At the moment of releasing the high-pressure field of the Originium, the deuterium elements under high pressure will undergo a fusion reaction and the ejected neutrons will hit the plutonium 239, thus causing a chain reaction.

With just a little processing, a simplified version of the handheld Originium core grenade was created.

But it's useless.

Nuclear bombs are of no use to him. Even if they can generate electricity, their power is too low. What he really wants is to unlock the secret of the source stone.

This is the secret that has troubled him for almost two years.

When Kal'tsit came, Zhang Miao's intuition told her that Kal'tsit must know something, and he was eager to know the answer from this woman.
