Chapter 139 The Middle Ages? Chloroplasts
"Why does that town look like it has a strong medieval style?" Soap's confusion came over the communication.
"The medieval style of an alien planet, at least there can't be wolves like the ones just now on Earth." Ghost corrected.
"."
Xiao Qiang, who was squatting behind a tree, habitually remained silent and looked at the town scene several kilometers away with the help of the screen.
From their position, a rough observation showed that it was indeed as Soap said, with a strong medieval style.
The scale was not large, accommodating at most about a thousand people, and there was a small castle in the center.
Using the screen indentation function, residents working and farming outside the city could be clearly photographed. Their clothes were relatively simple, and their body contours and behaviors were no different from those of humans.
However, the clean town streets directly divided the obvious boundary from the medieval Europe on Earth, not to mention that the data on gravity and atmospheric environment all pointed out that this was not another Earth.
At the same time, the soldiers responsible for town security and defense were equipped with brown leather armor, silver steel helmets, holding a one-and-a-half-meter spear, and carrying a short sword or hand axe on their waists.
At first glance, these soldiers seemed to be using the most traditional cold weapons.
However, the spear blades of the war spears would occasionally flash a light green luster, and the helmets and leather armor were covered with a faint invisible film.
In addition, there were also crossbowmen and musketeers on the castle walls.
Magic and technology? ?
Xiaoqiang under the helmet showed a little surprise.
After all, the abnormal situation of the town, coupled with the green leaf wolf just now, really exceeded his understanding.
Soap and Ghost also noticed this phenomenon, and then they shared the pictures they took.
In order to avoid the other party having magic-related long-range reconnaissance equipment and increase the risk of exposure, Xiaoqiang and the other two chose to withdraw to the space gate and set up a large number of silent sentries shaped like metal blocks here.
At the same time.
In the main universe, in the command center of the ruins base, next to the central console;
"."
Sui Yang put his hands behind his back and frowned slightly.
The wired communication base station has been built, so he can see the real-time images of the advance team members, the green leaf wolf captured by the ghost, and the medieval-style "human" town.
However, Sui Yang could not determine which game and film and television work the 07 universe was related to before he crossed over.
"The Lord of the Rings"?
"Game of Thrones"?
Or, a brand new unknown world?
All of these are possible.
And his two sons, Dorn and Vulkan, also stood beside the center console with interest, watching various strange phenomena in the 07 universe through the holographic screen.
Perhaps because they were afraid of disturbing him, the two young Primarchs remained silent from beginning to end, but their expressions were a little "active".
Seeing that his son was worry-free and did not need to be taught deliberately, Sui Yang did not say anything, and raised his hand to call up the holographic keyboard and issued orders to multiple departments.
For example, the engineering department, after the advance team confirmed that there was no threat on the other side of the space gate, the emergency response team (AECS) was responsible for security matters and immediately started the construction of the front-line base.
The logistics department is also mobilizing the corresponding supplies of living materials and ammunition, and various armed departments are also dispatching idle armed personnel to the ruins base to stand by.
Atlas perfectly implemented the instructions issued by Sui Yang, and at the same time, he also issued more detailed dispatch orders to the investigation department.
After all, everything in the 07 universe is unknown, so elite investigators are needed to obtain intelligence, figure out who are the enemies, who are the allies that can be made, and whether there are special resources there.
——
…
Main universe.
Eight hours after the seventh space gate opened, on this side of the New Accra city.
Even in the early morning, there is still a constant flow of traffic and pedestrians on the streets.
As a city that never sleeps, it is a good time for tourists to experience local customs and entertainment.
However, around the hospital and the nursing home, there will be a large number of night shift police officers patrolling to prevent uninformed passengers and drunk people from making loud noises here, which is a relatively quiet area.
Sometimes ambulances with flashing silent warning lights or airships shuttled between the streets, transporting the injured who needed urgent treatment.
As for the entrance of the city center hospital of Atlas, there was a patient with a special identity who seemed to have just been discharged from the hospital.
The patient wore a brown jacket and dark gray overalls, had a signature middle-parted hairstyle, and pulled a large black suitcase in his right hand.
As for his true identity, he was the elite investigator of the Atlas Investigation Department-
Leon S. Kennedy.
In theory, after genetic enhancement, Leon, who had a physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, would hardly get sick, but he could not handle serious traffic accidents...
But he was not injured, let alone an injured person.
In fact, Leon, like some elite investigators who were in a state of idleness, received a dispatch order to go to the 07 universe.
However, when he drove his private car away from his residence in the suburbs and was about to enter the downtown area of Accra, he was hit by a truck.
The man was fine, but the car was scrapped.
The cause was that the unmanned patrol aircraft discovered that the truck was speeding and running red lights, and was about to take coercive measures to control the scene. However, the truck driver had a chance to escape, and eventually Lyon was unfortunately involved in this traffic accident.
In fact, Accra's traffic accident rate ranks among the "lowest" in the world, and it is one of the safest cities in the main universe to travel to.
Even so, Lyon still encountered a low-probability event.
Moreover, his direct leader Ada Wang also issued clear instructions to go to the central hospital and undergo a full-body examination by relevant personnel, which caused his assembly progress to be seriously delayed.
"well…"
Leon sighed involuntarily when he thought that his colleagues had arrived at the ruins base long ago and he had just been discharged from the hospital.
Leave the main entrance of the hospital.
Walk to the side of the street.
He took out his civilian mobile phone and called a taxi, rushed to the company's branch building in the center of Accra, and got on the suspended train below.
After a long period of twists and turns, Leon finally arrived at the ruins base.
First, the weapons and equipment placed in the special suitcases were handed over to the logistics department for management, and then they came to the life-like staff dormitory area, where they also met Mike Monadi, who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Hey! Why are you here just now?" Mike quickly stepped forward and gave Leon a bear hug.
"Oh... stop talking, my car is ruined." Leon shook his head helplessly.
"The car was totaled?" Mike was stunned. "Director Wang said you were in some trouble. Could it be that you were in a car accident?"
"So be it." Leon began to talk about what happened that day.
During this period, the two of them walked through an underground passage with supermarkets, bars, and restaurants on both sides, passed through a living area that resembled a commercial street, and came to the dormitory building specially provided for armed employees.
In the hall at this moment;
"Hahaha!" There was a loud laugh.
After hearing what happened to Leon, Mike couldn't help laughing, then patted Leon on the shoulder and said:
"I knew this guy's luck was a little weird! Okay, don't always look like a sad person. A broken car doesn't mean a broken person. Pack your luggage quickly. I'll treat you to a few drinks later. How about exorcising evil spirits?"
"Thanks Mike." Leon's mood gradually improved.
He is an optimist by nature, and with his colleagues in the company's insurance department helping him handle the follow-up matters, he has nothing to worry about. At most, the insurance price will rise next year, which is not a problem at all for his current salary.
After putting his luggage into the temporary single dormitory, Leon followed Mike back to the living area and found a bar opened by the company to drink and chat.
The two have participated in many reconnaissance missions and secret investigations together, and have a very good personal relationship. The difference is that Mike is already married and has children, while Leon is still single.
As for the reason why they can still drink and chat, it is because the frontline base is still under construction, so they still need to stay at the ruins base for a while.
After all the facilities in the frontline base are in normal operation, they will move to Universe Zero-7 along with the large forces.
In the early morning and late at night, it was not only Lyon and others who did not rest or sleep. Sui Yang, the owner of Atlas, also remained awake.
Of course, Sui Yang only needed to take a nap for a few minutes, which was equivalent to a few hours of sleep for ordinary people.
but;
"Huh...ha..."
However, Dorn and Vulkan were lying on the carpet and fell into a deep sleep, so that the sound of their breathing directly drowned out the "ticking" of the old-fashioned clock.
Perhaps because they are growing, the primitives in a comfortable environment maintain the daily routine of ordinary teenagers, and fall into a deep sleep once they fall asleep.
“…”
Seeing this scene, Sui Yang couldn't help but shook his head, got up and left the office chair, packed away the toys and game consoles, and took out two spare blankets from the closet to cover the two of them, hoping to make their sons sleep more comfortably.
Dorn and Vulgan originally thought of waiting here for him to complete his work, but this idea seemed a bit "naive".
Although Sui Yang is not busy all the time, and occasionally takes a vacation for himself, or takes his sons to visit the mall, watch a movie or something, but now he is facing the stage of exploring a new universe, so naturally there is not much free time.
Sitting back on the office chair, Sui Yang saw one of the holographic screens flashing an email reminder.
Enlarge the screen for reading and find the latest report from the Department of Biology:
"Upload time: Main universe 2000/03/28/00:44.
Anomaly: Unknown wolf-like creature.
describe:
Technicians from the Department of Biology arrived at Universe 07 six hours ago and conducted preliminary testing and analysis of the creature.
The scan results showed that the biological structure of the creature was no different from the known canine family, but the green leaf-like hair had plant characteristics.
The results of the blood test showed that the organism contained organelles similar to chloroplasts, as well as a series of cellular components and molecules such as chloroplast pigments, photosynthetic membranes, and synthetic enzymes.
This means that the organism can obtain the energy it needs through photosynthesis, as well as synthesize organic matter to sustain its growth, development, and metabolism.
Some plankton on Earth acquire chloroplasts by eating plants and then store them in their own cells for photosynthesis, a phenomenon known as Klipper's phenomenon.
But this phenomenon has no chance of occurring in mammals.
Therefore, the preliminary detection and analysis of the Biological Department determined that the abnormal creature is a special species that is unconventional and violates the common sense of the main universe.
After a series of IQ tests, it was also learned that the creature has a high level of psychological cognition, self-awareness and strong learning ability.
After the Engineering Department completes the front-line base, the Biological Department will continue to carry out more in-depth research on the premise of ensuring the life safety of the creature.

After reading the report.
Sui Yang zoomed the screen back to its original state and leaned back in thought.
The combination of plants and animals,
violation of the common sense of the main universe,
high psychological cognition, etc., all indicate that the green leaf wolf captured by the advance team seems to be a unique product of some kind of magic world.
But now he can't be sure whether the "magic" of the 07 universe is related to psychic power.
If it doesn't exist, it's the magic system on the other side of the door.
If it exists, there will be many possibilities.
You should know that in "Warhammer 40k", there is also a planet world similar to "Sword and Magic".
However, Sui Yang thought that the possibility of the seventh space gate connecting to the Warhammer universe was very small. At most, it was on a certain earth-like planet in a parallel universe. Because of the existence of its own magic system, it was then noticed by the spiritual creatures in the subspace.
But soon, he stopped worrying about the world on the other side of the gate.
Without investigators secretly infiltrating and investigating, all speculation and entanglement were self-inflicted troubles, so Sui Yang refocused his energy on scheduling matters and tried his best to make all preparations.
