Chapter 609 Set Sail!
Just like the shuttle-shaped starship gradually showing its proper outline on the plain land, the heavy black metal shell is full of calm texture.
Every day, countless convoys go in and out of this completely closed plain area. The alliance cities that have finally come to such a unified situation today from the chaotic times have almost all abandoned the nature of human infighting.
The entire construction process has not been harassed or hit by any large-scale attacks from beginning to end.
Everyone is waiting for the day when it really takes off!
Almost a year after the starship plan was launched, the doctor who is responsible for the body transformation technology of all human beings found Bai E again.
The progress of the starship construction is visible to everyone. Before the actual departure is expected in the near future, the doctor conducted a final physical examination on all personnel participating in this first interstellar voyage in accordance with his duties.
Only those individuals who are within the normal threshold range from physical to mental can obtain the final qualification to board the ship.
In fact, this kind of inspection is not just the most recent one. In the past year, the doctor has paid attention to the physical condition of each batch of transformers in batches countless times.
The situation that the doctor came to report now is the follow-up observation and discovery of the physical characteristics of all the soldiers who have undergone surgical transformation.
After all, once Bai'e leads people to the interstellar, whether there will be a possibility of meeting in the future... or the timing of the next meeting may not be certain.
Before Bai'e really leaves, he feels that he needs to let Bai'e know all his cognition completely-
Technology is constantly improving, and the various shortcomings shown by those soldiers who have undergone surgical transformation in the early stage are also gradually being discovered and improved.
For example, almost all people who have undergone surgical transformation will almost completely lose their fertility.
Reproduction and continuation of the race is a natural requirement for many humans after coming to this world.
If you don't reproduce and I don't reproduce, humans will sooner or later fall into the only ending of extinction.
This is also the core reason why humans are destined to be unable to perform transformation surgery on all humans. Putting aside the high cost of creating a storm warrior, letting humans completely lose their ability to reproduce in pursuit of combat capabilities is a development that no human wants to see.
Under this premise, the few individuals who still retain the necessary conditions for reproduction during the transformation are something that is worth paying attention to.
There are only a dozen or so such individuals, regardless of whether they are natives or players.
And the players are a bit special, Kuang Xin, Gong Yan, Dai Lian, Gu Lan, Xu Ruoguang, just five of them.
Bai'e also knows quite a few of the natives: Stone, Rose, Zero, Murphy, Ares.
In addition to the other two natives that Bai'e had never seen before, there are a total of twelve special cases, and Bai'e knows ten of them.
I don't know why such a small Blackwater City has so many talented people.
These twelve special cases are regarded as treasures by the doctor.
After all, most of the current transformation technology is derived from the basic technology that the doctor has researched himself, so some of the problems he faced at the beginning have never been overcome -
For example, the body of the transformed warrior is actually not very stable, and only by obtaining the body's stable repair fluid regularly can the body be kept stable.
Each person who has undergone surgery has a certain probability of generating a seed called "Golden Seed" in his body. That seed is the result of the coordination between the modified organ and the original gene of the person who has undergone the surgery. When the person who has received the "seed" implanted receives the same surgery that the person who provided the "seed" had undergone, there will be no rejection reaction and no longer be restricted by the stable repair fluid.
The output rate of Golden Seed is pitifully low, and it is not much different from the probability of ordinary people who are suitable for physical transformation.
There may be only one person who is suitable for all surgeries among ten thousand ordinary people, and there may be only one individual who produces Golden Seed among ten thousand transformers.
Coincidentally, these twelve special cases not only have the ability to reproduce, but also all generate their own "Golden Seed".
However, due to limited time so far, the doctor has only collected the first Golden Seed produced by these individuals, and also found signs that the second Golden Seed is condensing, but it is not known whether it is a resource that can be continuously generated, or whether there is an upper limit to how many it can generate before it stops?
So far, the doctor has only had time to implant the golden seeds generated by these twelve individuals into the bodies of the next batch of transformers, and has not yet observed whether the next batch of transformers can also inherit their characteristics and have the ability to reproduce and continue to produce golden seeds.
If possible... then using these initial twelve special cases, it may be possible to create a truly fully mature, stable and sustainable Storm Warriors.
The reason why the doctor came to Bai'e before he set off was to want him to pay more attention to those special individuals.
Except for the god of war Ares, all other special cases are full of interest in Bai'e's trip.
They all want to join this great voyage, and even Ares himself, if it were not for the idea of protecting the original home of mankind, he would definitely follow Bai'e's footsteps.
"I understand, doctor." After listening to the doctor's narration, Bai E nodded in agreement, "I will focus on observing them in the future... After we leave, the development of the Storm Troops on the planet will be entirely left to you, doctor. "
The doctor smiled heartily, "Of course!"
It is his greatest wish in this life to create a group of mortal angels for mankind that can conquer all directions!
Shortly after the doctor left, Helen, the chief designer of the entire starship project, also came over.
The passage of time and the responsibilities shouldered by her have given this beautiful and charming woman a bit more of a tough and vicissitudes of life.
Her eyes were full of fatigue from the long-term effort, but when she saw Bai E, she couldn't help but burst out with a bright smile, "Bai E, it's time to set sail."
In order to fulfill her promise to Bai E, she has been completely devoted to the starship for almost a year.
Continuous review and testing, every detail is required to be perfect.
Just for this light announcement today.
When he heard that this day had finally arrived, Bai E was also startled. He looked at the other party and smiled gently, "These two years... I have worked hard for you."
"Is it hard?" Helen's eyes were filled with rare heat. "You are about to leave. Can I make my first and last request to you?"
"What?"
"Your...seed."
Helen never forgot her Primarch's plans.
Especially after the doctor's transformation surgery became more and more mature.
She had also heard about the twelve special cases.
However... can these special cases from ordinary people compare to Bai E's quality?
Bai E himself has never undergone any surgical modification, and no one has done a detailed examination of his body to see if he is suitable for those surgeries.
As an absolutely powerful human being who has reached the top without relying on modification at all, no one will ask him to use those surgical methods to strengthen himself.
But will the warriors built with his body genes as the core become a truly extraordinary and invincible army for mankind?
Facing Helen's request, Bai E, who had never thought about this, his face froze, "Seeds? I can give you whatever you want, but I don't know what seeds you want?"
Helen's cheeks were red and her eyelids were slightly sunken. "The method is relatively primitive..."
Bai E never expected that this female academician, who was bright and cool on the outside, would already have such a plan in her mind from the first time she saw him?
…
The time for the departure of the first interstellar exploration team to explore the universe has been determined.
On the day of departure, almost all core personnel from all cities around the world came to the scene to witness with their own eyes this first human attempt at space exploration.
This is a day that is destined to go down in the annals of human history. No human being in this era is willing to miss this scene.
And those players and aborigines who were not qualified to travel but came here because of the reputation even surrounded the outside of the entire plain three times inside and three times outside.
In the past two years, Bai'e and countless human armies have swept back and forth almost all threats on the land.
Except for the deep sea and the underground that are difficult to explore, it can be said that there is no crisis on the ground that can threaten mankind.
Humanity has once again returned to its position as the overlord of the planet.
The gradually restored transportation capacity has also made countless ordinary people willing to come to the scene to witness another major milestone of their humanity.
Waiting for the starship to take off, the plain was full of buzzing activity.
"I really envy them..."
"I don’t know when the next interstellar voyage will be? I must sign up then!"
"Is it useful for you to sign up? I heard that people are basically looking for characters like 'sons of devil' and 'fanatics'. Without those kind of characters' incredible learning ability, you also want to join the interstellar navigation team? There is something , I was born without it, just not there.”
"But I also heard that ordinary people entered it? One of the students brought by the teacher of my cousin's second aunt's neighbor joined the first batch of interstellar navigation teams."
"Those are the more important crew members, and the selection requirements are more stringent than those of the 'fanatics'. There are billions of people in the world, but there are only a few dozen crew members in this first batch of flights? You, don't think about it."
"If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"
"Ah?"
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh that I may not even be able to search for the next starship, let alone sign up for selection."
"What did brother say?"
"As far as I know, the construction of this starship alone required almost all of our global efforts. Without the push of a legendary figure like Lord Bai'e City, it feels like it would be an impossible feat. Think about it again. Next time, it’s unlikely…”
"Unless they find something outside that humans can't refuse, or it's dangerous..."
Under everyone's attention, the dark starship finally made some movement.
With the help of the anti-gravity module, the huge starship slowly and steadily rose from the ground to the sky.
The shadow that covered the sky and the sun covered an extremely vast land on the earth.
Helen, Ares and others in the tower watched the starship gradually rise. Before losing the network signal, they finally sent their final blessings to the starship -
"I wish you good luck in martial arts."
The starship gradually rose into the sky until everything on the earth became a distant black spot.
With a slight vibration, the starship flew through the atmosphere and landed smoothly in the dark space.
The hot solar wind swept cruelly from a distance, and the coating on the surface of the starship isolated all the harmful effects.
As one of the few players in the starship crew, Zhou Wenjie frowned and paid attention to all the self-check indicators of the starship and the physical condition of the people inside the starship.
Being cautious by nature, he would pay great attention to any sudden change in the value.
This was the most important human action he participated in!
Interstellar navigation, that is a great feat that even the real world has not been able to do!
Not to mention that many professional knowledge involved in this game are worth learning from in his opinion.
So much so that at this moment he did not feel that he was playing a game at all, but really regarded himself as a crew leader responsible for the life safety of all members of the ship and was performing his job seriously.
The deep space of the universe was silent.
The black shuttle-shaped starship was like a ghost, traveling far away to the unknown distance.
The direction the starship was flying to was a galaxy that was judged to have a high probability of artificial changes after long-term cosmic observations.
Although the objective distance from the original star they set out from was at least 200 light years, the actual arrival time would not consume everyone's lives at the speed of the starship's curvature navigation.
The ship was full of modified people who had undergone surgical transformation, and their long lives were at least better than those biochemical warriors who had defended the root server ruins for more than 400 years.
Everyone was full of confidence in this interstellar voyage!
Until the starship sailed a distance away from the original planet, many people said that they heard some strange noises coming from inside the cabin.
"Crack~"
"Crack~"
It seemed that countless tearing noises occurred at the same time, which made people feel uneasy.
The crew responded immediately, but from the self-check system, they could not see the real fatal threat.
"It may be that some high-energy particle flow penetrated the surface coating and caused some damage to some structures, but our starship material is made of highly active and self-repairing elemental alloys, so this damage is nothing."
After checking all the indicators of the starship in detail, the chief of the crew has absolute confidence in this starship built with the efforts of all mankind, "Let everyone rest assured, everything is within the controllable range."
Among the crew members, only Wenjie, who does not belong to this world, feels uneasy. (End of this chapter)
