Through the slender windows of the military dormitory, you can see the blue lustre of Neptune's ring across the sky. The massive planet's surface obscures most of the sky, where an atmosphere of hydrogen, helium and methane slowly hovers. He still remembered that his father had come to the Tenth Base to help the government design and build a new type of military spacecraft. When he returned home, he told him that there was a large sea of diamonds on that ocean-blue planet. He looked at the equally small blue light spot through the astronomical telescope, and imagined in his mind a huge ocean of radiant brilliance, made up of countless cone-shaped diamonds of different sizes, covering half of the planet.
When he grew up, he realized that the diamond sea was liquid, and it probably looked no different from an ordinary ocean. But he still had a fantastical fondness for the planet. It's just that I didn't expect that the first time I met it so close, it was in an inhuman identity.
The other non-humans hadn't slept yet. They gathered around Jarvan, guessing what the so-called experiment was. Obviously, the last sentence of Gray Mao scared a lot of people. The experiment that sent them to hell was simply scary words for scary sake.
"He said we just need to stay in that mini space station. Could it be to test the defense capabilities of the space station or something?"
"Then there's no need to use a living human, right? So many cheap bionic robots."
"Don't forget that we are not human at all in their eyes."
Jarvan suddenly made a sound, his eyes fixed on Ethan who was in a daze by the window, "Hey, that Omega over there who is the same as Beta, you were not an official in the government before? Do you know what experiment is going on here? "
Ethan sighed and looked back, "I'm from the Energy Bureau, and I don't have much contact with the military."
"Shit, we sent troops to suppress Tiangang's rebellion a while ago, wasn't it to dig more rare earth resources for your Energy Bureau?" Jia Wen sneered, tilted his head and asked him, "If you were a lackey, you were a lackey all your life. Are you still thinking about keeping your master a secret?"
The aggressive and contemptuous tone made Ethan's heart ignite with anger, and he thought that if he confessed at this moment, he would probably also embarrass Samuel. So he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and adjusted his glasses, "I have a guess. In ancient times, a country on earth once conducted a military experiment. Some people called it the Rainbow Project, and some people called it the Philadelphia Experiment. That was For the first time, human beings tried to create a temporary powerful magnetic field to bend the space, and another ship and people entered another time and space together. Of course, the experiment failed, many crew members disappeared mysteriously, and some merged with the ship. After that, it was quite Project Rainbow was shelved for a long time, and even officially denied that everything was a rumor. But with the advent of the interstellar age, perhaps the military has rekindled interest in it.”
No one answered him for a while, and the non-people looked at each other, wondering if they understood what he meant.
The reason why Ethan was so impressed by the legend about this experiment at the time was because the name of the Destroyer was the same as his family name, both Eldridge. This time, after hearing the "hell" mentioned by Gray Mao, I inexplicably think of the mother goddess squeezed out of the cracks in time and space on the red earth, the distant experiment, and the proposal for parallel universe exploration that was submitted by the Energy Bureau and fell to nothing.
"You mean... we're going to be teleported to another parallel dimension?" a pale Omega asked.
Ethan nodded approvingly, thinking that Omega has a higher IQ than Alpha, "It's just a guess. The population of the Earth Alliance has been increasing, but the per capita resource occupancy has been decreasing. Of course, it is best not to get it through war, so we have submitted an application for research on parallel universes, but it was rejected. Later, it was rumored that the rejection was only an obvious one. In fact, the army has secretly started to collect ancient Philadelphia experiments. Information. I don't know if this is the reason I was named this time."
"Hmph, isn't it because you provoked the second-in-command?" Jarvan's face turned blue and white, probably because he didn't expect Ethan to actually tell a lot of specious inside stories.
Ethan shrugged, "He has all the inhuman details, maybe he mentioned me above. It's not contradictory." After all, from the last time, everyone was selected for a mission It's all there for a reason. Even the actions of volunteers may be counted.
Another Beta asked, "Is this experiment dangerous?"
"It will never be more dangerous than the ancient rainbow plan." Ethan actually had no idea in his heart, but at this time, he had to be conclusive. Otherwise, more than two dozen panicked non-humans are locked up in a closed space station, and the panic could have devastating consequences.
Besides, his guess might not be right. He hoped he was wrong.
However, it turned out that his hunch was astonishing.
The mini space station is a spinning wheel-shaped building independent of the tenth space station, floating in the ocean of stars and slowly rotating. After they were sent to the mid-term, the spacecraft flew away. The entire space station was well-equipped, and there were as many service robots as there should be. The main computer, named "Lyme," was a very peaceful baritone, and as soon as he came in, he prepared a hearty meal for them.
Ethan, who was used to eating compressed bread, looked at the table full of roast goose, stew, thick soup, mashed potatoes, and even bottles of wine, and had an ominous premonition that he was eating his last meal. Other non-people cheered, whistling and took their seats on both sides of the long table. They have not entered the water and rice for a day and a night, gobbling them one by one, constantly stuffing things into their mouths. Probably because of the habit of eating in the forbidden city. If you don't eat well within the prescribed time, you will most likely be punished by the guards who are in a bad mood.
Just when the non-people's mouths were full of food, a gray-haired expressionless face appeared on the wall, "The door is now closed, and it will naturally reopen after the experiment is over. Every half hour, someone will confirm the situation in the space station with you. You can use the equipment in the space station as you like, but no vandalism is allowed. Let me see whoever is deliberately destroying property, just wait to be electrocuted into a vegetative state. Besides, I don't care whether you are fighting or mating, and you are not allowed to die. Otherwise, whoever stabbed the basket, I will make him sadder than death. Do you understand!"
Before the things in the non-people's mouths had time to swallow, they had to promise Ulu Ulu. Grayfur sneered contemptuously, with a little excitement in his eyes. He likes to see these animal-like inhumans being used as experiments, especially when the other party can't figure out what's going on. At such times, these animals often make unexpected and wonderful actions.
He especially wanted to see how the serious face of the man named Ethan was twisted a little in fear.
He turned off the communicator and leaned back comfortably in his chair. On the big screen in front of him, twenty inhumans were still gobbling up like pigs. That Ethan didn't eat, but looked around, looking in the direction of the camera for a while.
Those inhuman green eyes made him feel some kind of strange impulse in his heart, a tyrannical impulse.
What a pair of odious eyes.
A few soldiers who participated in the experiment chatted with him and asked about what the non-humans usually do in the forbidden city. Is it true that they kill each other and drink blood every day, as rumored outside, that Beta is treated as a slave, and Omegas are considered prostitutes. Obviously these rumors are ridiculously wrong, but Grayfur has no intention of correcting them, just pointing at Jarvan, who is apparently sitting at the head of the long table, and said, "This man has also been a soldier before, and he also participated in the Tiangang expedition. After returning home from the army, he found him Omega's father had been undetected for a long time due to a heart attack, and his Omega husband had gotten together with his former best friend in the army and secretly transferred his father's inheritance to his own. Under the name of the concubine, he squandered it. He lost control of his emotions in anger, took out the dagger he used in the army before, and stabbed it through the Omega." Gray Mao said, pointing to his eyes, "Then he His concubine was castrated and his throat was slit. He was bloodied when he was caught, still dismembering his Omega."
The two soldiers were stunned and amazed. At this moment, the correspondent on the other side received a call request from the red earth, and the request object was Vasilev.
Gray hair strangely connected to the video, only to see Priest Eve, who had visited the forbidden city a few days ago, appear on the big screen.
"Corporal Vasilev," the priest asked with a frown and a serious expression, straight to the point, "Did you take Ethan Eldridge away?"
Gray Mao's fist clenched secretly, but he didn't expect that the green-eyed boy actually had friendship with the Eves. He replied nonchalantly, "Yes. This is the decision of the upper echelons."
There was a moment of anger and irritability in the priest's eyes, but before he could see it clearly, the connection was cut off. Looking at the empty screen, Vasilev's anger grew stronger, he snorted, and asked impatiently, "Why hasn't it started yet?"
"One more minute." With the operators in their places, the mastermind began the final countdown.
Inside the spinning wheel space station, the non-people were unaware that the experiment was about to begin. Just suddenly feel something passing through the body.
The inexplicable feeling is like an electric current, and it seems like a water wave. Everyone stopped eating, drinking and joking, and the air was eerily silent for a while.
Ethan also froze, smelling a slight change in the air, adding a sour smell to the cold. The faint vibration of the air, with a low tinnitus so familiar that his blood froze, was shoved from all directions.
The space station looked the same as before, nothing had changed, but he just knew that something wasn't quite right.
Is the light shaking a little bluer throughout the space station? Or was the ubiquitous cold a little deeper? Or... it seems like there are some ghosts on the corners of the walls? Is it dazzling
Ethan took off his glasses, wiped them with his sleeves, and put them on again, but the ghost image still existed, giving people a feeling of dizziness. He looked back at the other non-human beings, who were also clutching the table with their hands, blinking forcefully as if dizzy.
The tinnitus became more and more distinct, and the floor trembled like ripples. The strangest thing was that his body also trembled along with him, making him dizzy. He hurriedly closed his eyes and supported the wall beside him with his hands. The dizziness disappeared, but the tinnitus still persisted, and even intensified.
Then all of a sudden, there was no more sound, no more tinnitus, and it all fell silent.
Ethan opened his eyes and found that the other 19 companions were still there, but the food on the table just now was completely gone.
Not even a single bone, not a drop of soup was left. Like those foods never existed.
The non-people sat at the table dumbfounded, their hands still holding knives and forks, but the cutlery was gone.
"What's this... how?" an inhuman asked. Of course, no one could answer his question.
Ethan reached out and pointed to the top of his head. There is a transparent nano steel plate, through the skylight, you can see the dreamlike blue light of Neptune, but now, everyone opened their mouths unconsciously, showing expressions of shock and panic.
The place that was supposed to be Neptune was pitch black and nothing.
The author has something to say:
Some students are speculating on whether B will change to O. However, according to my current settings, I have no intention of making Ethan a transgender. He should always be B until the end.
