Chapter 42 Mass-Produced Biological Weapons for Combat

"What is this?" The monster in front of us made us all dumbfounded on the spot.

Yeyue looked at the monster in front of her and asked, "Did I get the wrong script? Didn't I agree that it was for disaster relief? Why did the monster appear?"

"Whatever it is, let's knock it down first." I said and started running forward. While I was still charging, I had already pulled out the sword from my waist with my right hand. Fortunately, I brought my sword in order to cut through some obstacles, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle it with only a pistol.

The robot dog sensed our approach and immediately connected to the psychic network, and then began to cooperate with us in a planned way to surround the monster, while I rushed forward without saying a word.

The shape of this thing is not particularly weird. In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing is just a big spider. The only problem is that it is really too big.

The size of the spider in front of us has almost caught up with our walking tank. It has eight long sickle-like legs under its huge body, plus a pair of huge mouthparts. This is a standard monster template!

Seeing me rushing up, Xiaochun from behind was quite relaxed and asked Ling beside him: "Do you think this thing is an abnormal mutation caused by radiation? After all, this place is a uranium mine, and it is very difficult for it to mutate." Is it normal?"

"There are so many uranium mines in the world, when have you ever seen a two-story-high spider?" After Ling finished speaking, he knocked on Xiaochun and said, "Don't be distracted, go over to support, the master will easily suffer alone."

"No need, just let me come." Yeyue said and rushed forward waving her swords like a gust of wind.

Yeyue is the only one among our group who likes to use double swords, and her fighting skills are also the best. As soon as I rushed in front of the spider monster, I was attacked by the spider monster. Although this thing was very large, its movements were not slow at all. When it saw me approaching, it immediately supported the front half of its body. Then he poked me with two sickle-like forelimbs.

Seeing the pierced blade, I quickly put my left forearm in front of me, and a blue barrier unfolded. The next second, the spider monster's blade pierced the blue protective barrier with a thud, sparking a burst of blue. There was an electric spark, and I myself was pushed back several steps by the huge force before I could stabilize my body. This shows how powerful this guy is.

When I resisted the spider monster, the robot dogs on both sides immediately swarmed up, stepping on the spider monster's long legs and jumped directly onto this guy's body. These are military versions of robot dogs. The teeth in the mouth are all high-frequency vibrating blades, and their cutting ability is on the same level as my sword. After jumping on it, the robot dog immediately began to bite the spider monster, instantly tearing a large number of holes on the guy's body.

The pained spider monster let out a sharp scream and backed away desperately, trying to hit the wall and get the robot dog off its back. However, the characteristic of the robot dog was its flexibility. After discovering the spider monster's intention, it jumped off directly. Then Yeyue swung her swords to kill, and only heard two crunching sounds, and half of the spider monster's legs were missing.

The spider monster with a broken leg screamed, turned around and stabbed Yeyue with its intact forelimb. But there was a gunshot behind us. Yeyue blew out one of this guy's eyeballs with one shot. The spider monster missed its target with a scream. Yeyue used two swords to kill the two most offensive weapons of the spider monster. The front legs were cut off.

The spider monster that has lost its four legs can still maintain its balance. I have to say it’s great to have more legs! But Yeyue is unreasonable and unforgiving. The whole body rolled through the spider monster's body like a whirlwind, cutting off the remaining long legs in three strokes, five by two, and in the blink of an eye, the spider monster became a spider ball with only its body left, although it still looked Very vicious. But there is no longer any threat at all. After all, it can no longer move except rolling on the ground.

I walked over to a pool of splattered spider monster blood. Then I squatted down, and the detection tool popped up on my wrist to briefly scan the blood sample. Soon I saw the analysis results.

"Holy shit!"

The test results were quite surprising. This thing is not a product of mutation, because the radiation value in its body is not as high as its surface. This means that the radiation on its body was all acquired after it first arrived here. In addition, the genes in this thing are very stable. This is not a characteristic of mutants, but the product of long-term evolution. In addition, let us know that the most abnormal feature of this thing is that its gene chain has a right-handed structure.

The human gene chain is a left-handed double helix structure, and all living things on the earth basically have the same left-handed structure, but the DNA of this thing is right-handed, which means that 80% of them are not native to the earth.

"I thought it was a mutant, but I didn't expect it to be an alien monster!" Xiaochun said, patting the monster that was still struggling there.

The eight guides behind did not react until this moment. One of them asked: "What is going on? Do you think this thing is an alien monster?"

Xiaochun turned around and said, "Yes. DNA analysis shows that the genes of this thing do not belong to the earth, and it should be an alien creature."

"There are no meteorites here, how could there be..." The guide got stuck midway through the question because he suddenly came to his senses. Alien ruins were excavated before the collapse below, and if this thing is an alien creature... "Could it be from the ruins?" He just finished speaking and shook his head: "Impossible! The spacecraft has been there for so many years. It can be understood that the material has good performance, but how can living organisms survive in this environment without food and oxygen? And for so many years!"

"You have to ask yourself."

As we were talking here, Yeyue suddenly came over carrying a spider leg. I was about to ask her what she was doing with the spider leg, but unexpectedly she just handed it over. I looked at it in confusion, and found that there were words behind the inner joints of the spider's legs. And the most unacceptable thing was that the words were engraved on a piece of metal. As for the metal piece, it was directly carved using some kind of process. Embedded in the hard shell on the spider's legs, it's like a house number embedded in the wall.

"Nah, this thing is actually a mass-produced model!" Looking at the creator's words on it, I finally understood the purpose of this thing.

The metal plate said that what was written was actually very simple. The translation was: "Type 74 Combat Wolf Spider, produced by Shandam Arsenal in Era 11729, Batch 8918, Area 4, Production Line 773. Number XXXXX."

Obviously, this thing is a biological weapon, and it is a mass-produced model, because the production batch has reached more than 8,000 and almost 9,000. What is even more frightening is that this is the 773rd production line, which means that there are at least There are 772 production lines. If you calculate it this way. The output of this thing is quite scary.

After thinking for a while, I opened the psychic network and tried to contact the headquarters. I found that the signal interference was very strong, but it became clear immediately after switching to the dark matter communication mode. Sure enough, dark matter communication is much more reliable than electromagnetic waves, and at least it is not affected by radiation.

Soon I connected to the signal of the pilgrim leader, and then sent the picture of the thing in front of me.

"Help me take a look at this thing. Do you recognize it?"

The Pilgrim leader responded immediately. "The creator's combat wolf spider, a cannon fodder unit. The advantage is that it is cheap. With biochemical spores, it can be directly airborne in orbit. Throw a few million of them before the war begins. When the war begins, it can reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness by at least 30%. It is very easy to use. . But how did you come across this thing? Ordinarily it shouldn’t be found here!”

"We have found a dozen of you pilgrims on Earth with a total population of less than 100 million. Do you think it's strange to find one or two of this kind of thing that can easily be released in the millions?"

"No, no, no. That's not what it means." The pilgrim leader said: "The situation is different from what you think. We are stuck in the cracks of space, and our lifespan is very long. Generally speaking, we are not that It's easy to die. But this kind of combat wolf spider is a one-time consumable and a very mature biological weapon. They have no reproductive ability. And there are restrictions in the gene. After being produced and put on the battlefield for a period of time, they will die. Gene collapse will occur. To maintain their existence, they must be constantly supplemented with special proteins. They cannot synthesize this protein themselves. However, the mortality rate of the first batch in battle is generally very high, and the remaining ones can be eaten. The corpses of companions are dropped to replenish this protein, so there is basically no need to worry about the impact of insufficient protein during battle. However, the crash time of Atlantis back then was already very long, and even if they ate each other, they would not be able to survive until now, and if No one is going to give these guys special protein supplements without fighting. So it definitely shouldn't live this long."

"Then what's going on now?"

"I don't know." After finishing speaking, the pilgrim leader said as if he had remembered something: "By the way. I remember that this thing also has an electronic center. You can try to connect it forcibly, maybe you can find the reason."

"This thing uses the same electronic center as ours?"

"It's not as advanced as you, it's just an ordinary control unit that makes these guys' behavior look a little more rational. This kind of thing is designed for combat. Without a controller, it will immediately turn into a killing maniac. If it is in the earth's ecosystem, If you lose one, all the large and medium-sized animals in a large area can be killed within a month.”

"Do I deserve to be called a biological weapon?" I said as I climbed onto the back of the thing. Sure enough, there is a very small metal disc on the back of the head of this thing. As long as you reach out and touch it, it will automatically open, and then reveal a connector that looks a bit like a fire pipe. But I don’t have that kind of connector, only a universal connector. Well, fortunately, it can also be connected.

The pilgrim leader is right. The control center of this thing is super simple. There is no need to crack it. Just input the military code and the connection will be successful automatically. But it’s right to think about it, just like no one would install a lock on a rifle and leave a keyhole. This thing is a consumable, and the retainer is super short. It’s crazy to bother to encrypt it. Besides, the enemy will not penetrate the electronic control center of this thing. So what if they successfully invade and control it? People throw away millions of them. Does it make sense for you to control one? It would be easier to just shoot it down than to expend so much effort. So, it’s not that encryption is impossible, but that it’s not necessary.

After successfully intruding, I was indeed connected to the control center of this thing. Apart from a function menu that was as simple as the game console selection interface, there were only some record files and the like.

This thing has very few memory units, but this is relative to the creator's technology. Although the memory unit of this thing is very shabby compared to other computing units, it is still super huge. At least if all the network resources on the earth are concentrated now, this memory can hold at least half of it. You can imagine how large this storage capacity is.

From here I quickly found the information I needed.

This spider monster has indeed been produced for a long time. The reason why it is still alive today is because someone...or should I say, something has lifted its restrictions.

Fighting wolf spiders do not have a special protein synthesis mechanism and require external supplements to survive. However, this fighting wolf spider has undergone secondary genetic modulation, and its defect has been repaired, and a regenerative gene has been added, which means that as long as it does not die, , no matter how big the damage is, it will grow back slowly. In a sense, this is considered immortal.

The reason why this kind of monster is adjusted is...self-rescue.

There were many spacecrafts that crashed into the earth along with Atlantis, our fourth zone. It is not surprising that some of them were equipped with general-purpose biological weapons for combat. After the crash, one of the spaceships found itself stuck. In the ground, he released a combat wolf spider in an attempt to dig himself out. This is the fighting wolf spider responsible for digging holes. Unfortunately, the earth's crust here is very unstable. It has been sinking for a long time, so the spacecraft has never been dug out. However, the sinking has stabilized in the past few hundred years, so the wolf The spider finally began to expand the space around the spacecraft little by little. But...unfortunately, we had just dug a little space, but unexpectedly there was another earthquake and a landslide, so the spacecraft was buried again. As a result, the tarantula was still blocked outside the spacecraft. Now it is even I can't even go back.

"That's it." After reading this information, of course I shared it with Ling and the others. After everyone read it, they briefly talked to the guides. They were also very surprised.

It’s not that this tarantula can’t go back, it’s just that it can’t go back in a short time. It is very good at digging holes. It's a pity that it was trapped here after the landslide. It had just dug a little tunnel, and before returning to the battleship, it accidentally dug into this mine tunnel. As a result, we happened to run into those robot dogs.

The robot dog's recognition program quickly determines that the tarantula is a threatening unit, and a battle breaks out, which is the cause of the battle we saw earlier. (To be continued ~^~)
