Chapter 1005 The Adventures of Picosipa
At this time, dozens of days had passed since the last repulsion of the Six Dragons.
During these dozens of days, the Picosi faction had also experienced many things.
They had also encountered the enemy more than once. However, this time, they were not pursued by the Six Dragons, but a small group of Protectors who came to investigate.
This ship was still a standard ship of the Scientific Research Knights, and the Scientific Research Knights and the Gene Bank Defense Forces belonged to two different systems and were not under each other's command. Therefore, several times, they relied on the appearance of the submarine to avoid the enemy in time.
However, not every time they were so lucky.
The attack of the Six Dragons team left irreparable injuries on the outer shell of the submarine. As long as you look closely, you can see that the submarine stolen by the former apprentices of the Picosi faction has been attacked.
At this time, it is inevitable to check.
Then it will also trigger a battle.
Fortunately, in the several battles that occurred, no powerful warriors from the Protectors appeared.
In most cases, the level of the enemy is not as good as the prisoner they captured.
However, every time they were discovered, the Pixie faction had to adjust their sailing route to bypass the possible blockade of the protectors ahead.
After circling several times, the Pixie faction’s headquarters is now sailing southward.
Yin Zhewei apologized for this. In fact, the Pixie faction didn’t have any plans, but just thought, “Let’s just go against his production line for the time being.” They just wanted to run away and sleep. Their only goal was to “join the Jianghu heroes.”
Whether they went to Africa or other places, it was the same for them.
And they went to Africa at the beginning, purely because…
They only planned to go to the “forbidden zone” to investigate what they wanted to investigate, and then they went all the way in this direction to Africa, purely “on the way.”
But Yin Zhewei still remembered that Yuki was going to Africa to find someone.
Yuki had no objection to this.
Although he also wanted to go to Africa to meet up with others. He also wanted to know whether the little girl Panike was safe.
However, he didn’t want to take a huge risk to try to cross the blockade—with a boat full of people.
Therefore, the target of this group of people was changed to "Antarctica".
Similar to the Arctic, there are also some knight forces under the Antarctic ice cap.
However, the number of Antarctic knights is not as good as that of Arctic knights. There is an entire continent under the Antarctic ice cap. And under the Arctic ice cap, there is an entire ocean. For modern sects based on submarines, the Arctic is a better hiding place.
However, there are still a large number of protectors in the Antarctic continent.
Antarctica has the largest iron ore storage area in the world. The iron ore located in the Antarctic continent is rich in iron and has a high iron grade. In the old times, it was called "Antarctic Iron Mountain". In addition, there are a large number of coal resources underground in Antarctica - in this era, it can be developed into cheap aviation fuel to provide kinetic energy for missiles and other objects.
The former was basically mined a hundred years ago. As for the latter, the protectors look down on it, but they will not give it to the knights for nothing, and there are also supervision.
In the past, Antarctic resources were not mined, firstly because political factors were too complicated, and secondly because the Antarctic environment and climate were too harsh, which was not friendly to most machines. Thirdly, it was to protect the fragile ecology here - although most politicians did not really care about the ecology, destroying a fragile ecological environment would still give them an inexplicable debuff.
In this era of advanced technology, the first two restrictions no longer exist. One of the few things that the Father of All Machines cares about is the third one, "environmental protection".
The polar temperature is too low, which is too harsh for metal-based organisms, so it has become one of the few areas that retain fragile ecosystems.
Although large animals are still completely wiped out, there are still many native algae and plankton left.
Protecting the environment, mining minerals, and "preventing knights from stealing mines" are the main responsibilities of Antarctic protectors.
Antarctica is not like the Arctic, where chivalry prevails.
However, as long as you are willing to look carefully, you can always find some Antarctic sects under the ice sheet.
This is also the reason why the Pixie sect went all the way south.
They plan to officially enter the world of martial arts there.
Many former apprentices were quite satisfied with this. Some people have already regarded this scientific research ship stolen from the group as their home and base. And this scientific research ship also has certain scientific research conditions, and they can make better contributions here. Therefore, many former apprentices do not want to give up their own ship.
Keeping this ship and joining the circle of knights is also ideal for them.
Songsong Guatape even considered persuading Yin Zhewei to go directly to the Arctic.
But Zhao Zhengxin blocked her back with one sentence: "Do you want to cross the Bering Strait?"
Entering the Arctic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean, it is inevitable to pass through the Bering Strait, the area closest to Asia and America.
In order to block the communication between the knights of the Old World and the New World, there are quite a lot of elite soldiers and generals in the Bering Strait.
Even Xiangshan, who stepped out of a world, did not choose to kill directly through this pass.
So everyone had to give up this tempting idea.
Yin Zhewei also began to try some "sect construction work" - carrying out several collective behaviors including the "Chivalrous History Seminar".
In addition, these days, the apprentices are also trying to treat the captured warrior.
Most of the warriors who first invaded the submarine died in the minefield, but there were also several warriors who were not killed by mines, but were killed by some kind of prosthetic-based mechanism after losing their ability to move.
After certain conditions are met, their smart devices attached to the brain will send a beam of electrical signals to the brain. Subsequently, the brain cells that receive this electrical signal will open ion channels, absorb a large amount of calcium ions, and then trigger a natural apoptosis process.
This test report scared many apprentices.
Although their status in the scientific research knights is very low, most of them are apprentices of the knights directly under the Galapagos Temple. The knights they belong to have an extraordinary status and are in the field of biology, so it is inevitable that they will touch on some...secrets that are difficult to access outside.
They know that in theory there is indeed a means, a special signal, that can be used to trigger the natural apoptosis of human nerve cells, which is irreversible once it starts. This is the "original sin" of the benchmark people, and it is proof that the benchmark people were enslaved by the Leviathan tyrant in the early days.
And these apprentices only knew the possibility of this method from theoretical monographs.
Zhao Zhengxin once asked a higher-level knight. And the knight told him that only three people in history knew the specific signal.
- One is the tyrant of Leviathan, and the other two titles cannot be mentioned casually, but it is not difficult to guess.
"Two", "cannot be mentioned casually", "but everyone knows", and "hostile to the tyrant".
It is clear who this refers to.
After that, on the throne, the kings shared this supreme power and power, but still could not get a glimpse of the whole picture. This divided power was made into a "supervisor".
But the mechanism to kill those intruders is obviously not the "supervisor".
The triggering of the "supervisor" is more complicated. The supervisor will only be triggered when the protector soldier implanted with the "supervisor" has the idea of "attacking the commander". The "supervisor" will never interact with any external system to prevent it from being directly triggered by the internal master.
And these individuals attacked by the minefield would never have the idea of "attacking the superior".
The two people who fell outside the door were also like this. At the last moment, they were still fighting side by side with the attackers and watching their superiors being knocked down. It was impossible for them to have the idea of "attacking the superior" under such circumstances.
In other words, this is not a "supervisor", but something else.
A mechanism that uses "authority known only to Wu Zu and the Father of All Machines" to execute these people.
Suddenly, everyone had a feeling of "conspiracy looming over the sky". Regardless of whether the black hands behind these people are ambitious people who have obtained the memory of Wu Zu, or secret forces secretly cultivated by His Majesty the Father of All Machines, they all represent that they are involved in a particularly terrifying conspiracy.
Yuki was relatively calm about this matter. He knew these things. At the same time, he also knew that many of the "authority" held by Xiangshan had become invalid. The gene therapy and screening measures of the Father of All Machines gave priority to removing the gene backdoors known to Xiangshan.
At the same time, he also knew another thing very clearly.
"Backdoors" can be artificially created.
Before Xiangshan and Yawgmoth, such backdoors did not exist. Such things are the absolute kingship forged by the sinners of the old era.
Naturally, scholars of the new era can also use more powerful scientific power to create new "authority" - all they need is a set of gene therapy.
He comforted many former apprentices and told them his analysis.
And the curiosity of the former apprentices was focused on the last survivor.
Speaking of Rancheng C, the reason why this flag owner was able to survive was because of Youki.
Youki destroyed some parts of his head prosthesis during the battle with him. This was entirely due to luck. And this failure, coupled with the water inflow of this neck, made the system in Rancheng C's body unable to convey the apoptosis command to all the brain areas of this warrior in time.
However, the apoptosis command triggered by calcium ions will form a chain reaction.
Rancheng C still suffered a lot of brain damage.
These days, these scientific knight apprentices are also trying to find a way to treat him.
They still have some advanced technologies. At the same time, this research ship also has the conditions to produce many medicines.
After such a long period of recuperation, Ran Cheng C has also regained consciousness.
