Arknights? Colonization Ark!

"This planet is alive. It has its own consciousness, and it is the purest single-element planet because all other matter has been assimilated by it!"

Hearing this, a noun suddenly appeared in Zhang Miao's mind, a legendary name.

"Ore Solaris! The Originium is Ore Solaris! No wonder they can recover on their own! The planet is reborn around us!"

This horrifying thought made Zhang Miao's scalp tingle. Everything made sense, self-recovery, growth, assimilation, combined energy, and even the possible existence of a spiritual world...

There's stuff in fucking space, there's stuff in the ocean, there's stuff in the Arctic, there's even stuff in the air we breathe. What the hell is Terra, this epic shithole.

Or are all of you crazy scientists' beds this messy?

The doctor nodded and confirmed Zhang Miao's statement.

"Yes, it is the Sea of ​​Solaris. The records after that are very vague. It only mentions that after the planet woke up, it attacked the research ship. Later, the planet was destroyed by the reinforcement fleet. The only part that remained was brought back here for research. I know all this from Priss, so I know more than others."

After saying so much, Zhang Miao roughly understood the origin of Originium, but there is no discussion about Originium now?

"What does this have to do with those monsters?"

The doctor seemed to remember the beautiful figure who often walked with him.

"Presesse said that those monsters don't observe the world with their naked eyes, but locate life by sensing other things. The Originium emits a certain undetectable force field that can shield this perception to a certain extent. That's why the researchers here were able to escape and were not assimilated into monsters immediately. But it was only a matter of time, so they took the initiative to leave. It wasn't until our communication ship took the initiative to approach the small fleet that we were finally exposed."

"So, we freed the Originium and distributed it in the stratosphere of this planet. Then, everyone evacuated to the ground and hibernated in batches in temporary hibernation chambers to minimize their vital signs."

"A small number of personnel continue to conduct research and try to find a way to break through the Originium or those monsters."

"But we didn't know what Originium was at the time. If we used it carelessly, we might repeat the same mistake. So Presace was responsible for researching Originium, and I was responsible for leading people to study how to fight against Originium, as well as our joint project, the Originium Life Plan."

"And Vecton will lead the remaining fleet to delay time in space and act as the final bait."

Chapter 83: Failure is part of scientific research

The term Originium Life Plan reminded Zhang Miao of what the Emperor had told him, that the Terrans were a joint project between the Doctor and Precious.

"So, at that time you knew that this situation would happen."

The Doctor nodded, but then shook his head.

"It turns out that the world does not revolve according to one's will, and things are still out of control."

"I can feel that Precious is hiding something from me, and it's very important. Conversely, I'm actually hiding something from her."

"We both majored in different subjects. Due to the targeted training we received after birth, we know very little about things outside of our respective fields. Most of our calculations were assisted by intelligent hosts or outsourced to others. I majored in biology and she majored in physics, so we didn't ask about each other's research directions.

Even if I knew she was hiding something from me, I couldn’t find any clues from her calculations.”

What he said made Zhang Miao frown. At this time, isn’t it too much to still do these things?

No matter from which angle you look at it, now that we have found a breakthrough, we should work together to overcome the difficulties, right?

But Zhang Miao also felt that at such a critical moment, they should all have their own considerations, so he should wait for the doctor to finish speaking before asking.

"We transported a large amount of equipment and supplies from the space research hub to the planet, and at that time

The planet itself has many secret scientific research stations. We quickly formed several project teams and started our own research work around the world. I remember that there were at least four groups at that time. I don’t understand the work of the other two groups, but I have more contact with Precious’s project. ”

"My project team's initial plan was to use the Zerg genes stored in the hub to create a controllable biological population that can control the environment, so as to ensure that the Originium will not engulf the entire world."

"At that time, I felt that even if we used the Originium, it would be meaningless, because the Originium planet was destroyed by the human fleet not long ago. We can't just live here in disgrace for the rest of our lives, so..."

When he said this, the doctor's eyes began to wander, as if he had done something wrong.

"Ahem... Ahem... In addition to the three original modules of survival, reproduction, and evolution, I added a module called migration to the genes of biological populations. It actually represents exploration and struggle, as well as the final parasitic infection function."

"No species is more suitable to be a war machine than these space insect swarms. As long as there are enough resources, they can hatch endlessly and rush to the battlefield. Even if we can't defeat those monsters head-on, we can buy enough time to evacuate and find a new star region to develop."

"And according to what Presese said, humans in the past might have mutated simultaneously under some high-dimensional resonance. In order to prevent this from happening to my insect swarm, we created a collective will ourselves. We don't know if this will be able to prevent mutations. After all, you know, no one can say for sure without testing it. We decided to name it

"A large group."

Hearing this, Zhang Miao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the doctor with an extremely weird look.

"That thing...could it be Haisi?"

Zhang Miao's words seemed to have irritated the doctor, and he covered his mouth and started coughing.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem...you...you know?"

"Nonsense, how could I not know that?"

Zhang Miao looked at the doctor unhappily, "You two really are of the same lineage. Just now you and your father's generation all mutated for unknown reasons, and now something goes wrong with your own experiment."

The doctor had no choice. He really didn't expect such an accident to happen. He said awkwardly

"This brings us to the collaborative project between Priss and I, the Originium Life Plan."

"There were actually living creatures on the planet at that time. According to the archives, these creatures were deliberately guided to evolve by our predecessors in order to study psychic energy and the social forms of psychic creatures. In fact, even this planet is man-made. The scientific research base was chosen here because the environment here is close to the dimensional membrane."

"Dimensional membrane?" Zhang Miao had heard of this term, but only heard of it.

"Yes, the first thing Precious targeted was these psychic creatures that were still in feudal society. We cooperated with her to conduct a large number of live experiments, just to find a way to combine Originium with the creatures without causing them to be assimilated quickly."

"We designed Originium organs, Originium pituitary glands, and Originium skin attachments, but all failed. In the end, I don't know what Preseth did to turn Originium into something similar to carbon atoms. Then we successfully induced Originium to replace some of the carbon atoms in the genes of organisms. By directly attaching to the genes, we can achieve the effect of stable inheritance. In just a short period of time, an indigenous psychic creature will be infected by Originium. In our hands, Originium has become a genetic weapon against such creatures."

Zhang Miao slowly uttered a name

"Tikaz."

The doctor nodded.

"Yes, it's Tikaz."

"But this situation is not stable enough. Our actions were too radical at the time, causing these psychic creatures to have a strong adaptability to Originium, but it was too much. Because of this adaptability, the concentration of Originium in these psychic creatures easily exceeded the standard and then deteriorated in a very short period of time."

"This is not the result we wanted, so we continued the experiment. It is difficult to go from 0 to 1, but it is easy to go from 1 to 10. Since we don't know the source of the mutation, we chose to use animal genes to combine with the genes of these psychic creatures to create new life."

"The planet is the experimental field. These lives need those Tikaz to compete for survival territory on this planet, so we were very bold in our first batch of experimental samples. On the one hand, we strengthened their gene carriers and gave them excellent physical fitness. On the other hand, we gave these different types of experimental samples the characteristics of mythical creatures in the history of the earth to distinguish them, such as Pegasus, griffins, dragons, dragons... But their reproductive capacity is very low. After all, there can only be one leader of a lion group."

This group of people... Zhang Miao felt a bit of a headache. He had heard that programmers liked to add private tasks to their programs, but he didn't expect that this was hereditary. Even billions of light years away, he couldn't get rid of this bad habit.

"So the subsequent products are much more general. Although they still have strong physical qualities, they are much worse than the former. Moreover, they are not too demanding in terms of genetic inheritance. Their reproductive ability is much stronger than the former. Their characteristics are basically inherited from one of their parents, such as the current Filin, Agor, Fengti, and Carters."

Zhang Miao listened for a long time and finally asked his own question

"Are they humanoid?"

The doctor shook his head.

"No, we didn't set them to be human when they were born, but pure beasts. After all, the Tikaz creatures they were competing with were also strange in shape. Wouldn't it be abrupt to suddenly have more people?"

Chapter 83: The Weak Doctor

So what happened during this period that caused all the Originium life forms on the entire planet to transform into human form?

There is only one answer.

Precious.

The doctor's tone was complicated, and it seemed that he had a special relationship with the man named Priss.

"In fact, not only the form, but even the Originium technique was not included in our initial plan. All our knowledge of Originium comes from the research report of the Presise project team."

"This situation is not limited to me and Precious. Ever since we were attacked, we have started to have internal disagreements. Some think we should flee, some think we should fight to the death, some think we should surrender, and some even think we should merge with the Originium."

"This disagreement has continued among our project teams. Everyone has their own ideas and each thinks they are right."

Under the dual extreme pressures of the environment and spirit, the scattered group was tightly united together, but after the Originium gave them a chance to breathe, problems arose when the overly tense spirits relaxed.

Zhang Miao deeply agreed with this situation. Not to mention the people far away, the Sarkaz outside were fighting each other because of their different ideas, not to mention these people who were managed by smart hosts since birth.

The doctor now feels very sad about the situation at that time, but he does not think that anyone is wrong. Everyone is just trying to keep civilization going in their own way.

but……

Zhang Miao suddenly thought...how credible are the words the doctor said?

As the doctor said, even though they had lived together for more than 20 years, they still hid things from each other.

Then will you tell everything to this compatriot you just met?

A commander who is cold-blooded and ruthless in the eyes of the Sarkaz.

What he said may be true, but the incomplete truth can turn the facts in another direction.

The truest lie is always the truth.

His project is Haisi, so is Haisi really just a weapon to fight against Originium and demons as he said?

That strange piece of meat that could react in stasis fluid left a deep impression on him.

Was he really completely unaware of Precious's actions?

How deep have they gone in their research on evil?

Did the researchers who evacuated leave no information behind?

Judging from Theresa's description, this doctor is very smart.

Who knows whether those tears just now were true feelings or just a pretense?

Zhang Miao put himself in the shoes of the researchers who survived at the time and thought about what they would do.

Billions of humans in the starry sky have all turned into monsters, and they are trapped on a small planet and dare not even go out.

When humans are pushed to their limits, they can do anything crazy.

The fact that they were able to stay rational and continue their research is proof of their strong willpower.

Zhang Miao stood up, picked up the blue kettle on the table, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to the doctor, interrupting his recollections.

"Doctor, you said your project team is responsible for studying Haisi, so there should be more than one person, right? Where are the others? How did you survive until now?"

After hearing what Zhang Miao said, the doctor suddenly paused, then shook his head, took the hot water, thanked him and continued.

"I don't know either. After the second phase of the Originium Life Plan was completed, Precious arranged a meeting place with me. I wanted to take the opportunity to ask her what Originium was, and then..."

"Then she knocked me out. When I woke up, she had already put me in a hibernation chamber. She held my hand and said a lot of things... I had never seen her with that kind of expression before. Then she passed out because of the hypnotic gas released by the hibernation chamber. When I woke up again, it was already eight years ago."

"I also heard about the Haisi riot from Kal'tsit. I don't even know who released them."

Brother, I was knocked unconscious by a woman, is this true?

The doctor felt a little embarrassed when he saw the contempt in Zhang Miao's expression.

After waking up, I found that each Terran was more capable than the other. Even a 15 or 16-year-old girl could carry dozens of kilograms of rice up five floors without taking a breath.

He was even knocked unconscious by a woman from the same tribe, which was really embarrassing.

The doctor could only drink hot water to hide his embarrassment.

"I am not good at fighting."

Zhang Miao looked at the doctor's arms and legs.

nodded

"I can tell."

This guy was lucky not to be kidnapped by a wild cat that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and used as XNL.

"That girl called Precious, do you know where she is now? Is she still alive like you? What about the other dormant people? There should have been quite a few of you at that time, right?"

After asking this question, Zhang Miao watched as the cup in the doctor's hand was raised higher and higher, almost covering his face.

"I...I didn't know where I was transported to after being knocked unconscious by Prissus. When I woke up, I found that my medical cabin had been moved to the mobile city by the Ursus people as a power source. Except for the medical cabin, all other facilities were basically dismantled by them. Ten thousand years of geological changes made it impossible for me to find the original collective hibernation location."

Zhang Miao believed this.

Come to think of it, with natural disasters and mobile cities, even a mountain would have been flattened over the years.

Human industrial activities are destroying the natural environment even faster than the movement of the earth's crust.
