Kaleyan's eyelids twitched twice when he walked into the test site. He looked around suspiciously. The white light reflected bright light on the metal wall. The air echoed the footsteps of several of them. It was quiet, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Is it because there are ghosts in my heart
Kaleyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a self-deprecating arc.
"Cut off the wires in order, move the entire training cabin away, and be careful not to let the test body come into contact with the air." Kaleyan ordered his subordinates, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the expressions on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere was even a little stagnant, so he asked: "-What's wrong?"
"This—this really looks like a marshal," the adjutant stammered, "It feels too—too—"
Although they knew intellectually that it was a test body, a body without soul or thinking, but when facing its face exactly like the Marshal's, everyone couldn't help being a little terrified and timid, as if it would open those familiar eyes at any time. eyes to see them the same.
Kaleyan also experienced this feeling before, but after seeing it for a long time, he gradually got used to it, and he chuckled softly: "All the test subjects after genetic modification looked like this, but it's a pity that they all failed in soul refraction. In the end, only It can be destroyed. Only this one was sealed before it could be used as a soul refraction base, so it survived to this day... This is also considered rare, and those experimental products in the Dark Star Hall can’t even survive genetic modification.”
Kaleyan paused, and said leisurely: "Are you scared? You haven't seen the failed products destroyed in batches back then. Several rows of training cabins were pushed into the acid solution together, and the researchers were almost scared out of their minds..."
No one noticed that just a few steps away, Gavin's whole body was clinging to the gap between the bottom of the training cabin and the ground, and his fingers holding the bottom of the cabin trembled slightly.
But what he said next surprised him even more. I just heard the deputy ask in a low voice: "According to the news from Egret, it is said that the test subject on Red Saturn has successfully accepted the soul refraction? Even the people in the Dark Star Hall have confirmed that it is really Celia. Marshal?"
There was a palpitating silence.
After a while, Kaleyan's casual voice came: "It's hard to say, Consetlin is as untrustworthy as Dark Star Hall... Besides, if the soul refraction is successful, memory and other things have been set in advance, and suddenly another What does amnesia mean?"
Several people cut off the wires carefully, and pushed the training cabin together, and the heavy rollers made a muffled sound on the ground. Gavin gripped the bilge tightly, and saw the feet of several exiled soldiers walking around on the ground.
"If the one on Red Saturn isn't real either," someone asked as they walked, "then what is it that he can run and jump now?"
Gavin's heart tightened.
"I don't know either." Kaleyan said lightly: "If it wasn't for the preset memory not being input at all, I almost thought that the soul refraction technology had succeeded—but it's really hard to say what it is now, an artificial human? Clones?"
After a while, he sneered again: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not? The people in the parliament want nothing more than a puppet. Maybe they will panic when the real Celia comes, and the fake one might even take advantage of it." What do you mean by helping people?"
They turned on the backup energy, transported the training cabin to the ground, and prepared to send it out of the base gate. However, before the group could stand still, they heard a loud "Boom!" from outside, and then the ground shook, and someone in the communication device shouted: "The Imperial Army is coming! Lieutenant General! The Imperial Army is coming!"
Everyone pulled out their guns at the same time, and Kaleyan made a decisive decision: "Protect the training cabin! Leave the luggage alone! Run!"
Gavin was almost thrown out by the violent turbulence, and barely stabilized himself by holding on to the bottom of the cabin. The training cabin was almost pushed forward by everyone, rushed over the bricks and stones that fell like rain, and rushed out of the gate of the base in an instant!
Fortunately, no one cared about the two missing personal guards at this time. A group of soldiers rushed out of the fighter jets to respond urgently, and hurriedly moved the training cabin to the gangway.
"Run, run!" "Don't stand!" "Covering Lieutenant General!" "Surface-to-air missiles are ready to launch!"
Gavin's fingers grabbing the bottom of the bilge almost bled. In his panic, he could only hear the surrounding noises, and the entire fighter jet was shaking. There were splashes of sand and shrapnel everywhere, and people kept getting shot and fell down, but more people immediately made up, covering Kaleyan and his party and the training cabin while fighting and retreating, and finally completely retreated into the fighter jet.
The hatch closed immediately, and the black bat-shaped fighter quickly rose against the torrential beam of light, flying towards the mothership of the Shining Legion in the low sky.
Gavin could hardly hold on anymore, his knees against the bulkhead trembled uncontrollably, and he almost fell.
However, just a second before he fell, the training cabin fell to the ground, and his back finally touched the solid ground again after hanging in the air for more than ten minutes.
"It's right here," Kaleyan's voice sounded a little tense: "Go down first."
The footsteps gradually went away, and then the door closed, and the room fell into silence. Gavin looked out from the gap, and the surrounding feet were wearing uniform soft shoes and white pants...they were researchers.
There were two other people standing in front of the training cabin, Kaleyan and his adjutant.
"It's too risky Lieutenant General Kaleyan, the GTX0012 test body has only received gene catalysis, and has not been refracted by the soul at all! It is just a skin without soul and consciousness, in case of any malfunction..."
"Save it and tell the people in the parliament, honorable academician." Kaleyan said lazily, "You and I are just pawns who take orders from others."
The academician obviously choked for a moment, and muttered something reluctantly for a while. Immediately afterwards, Gavin heard a bang from above his head—the hatch was opened, and the overflowing culture fluid flowed down the bulkhead in an instant.
Gavin moved in, frowning in the shadows.
What are these people trying to do
Kaleyan stared at the young man in the culture solution, took a deep breath after a long while, and then slowly let it out, as if with this movement, he vomited out all the anxiety and boredom in his heart.
He stepped forward and hugged the boy out of the solution with his own hands, grabbed the white coat that he had always carried around him and wrapped it around him, and dried his jet-black hair with a towel. Having not seen the sun for a long time made the boy's complexion pale, his facial features were naturally cold, and the light blue blood vessels could be clearly seen on his chin and neck.
Kaleyan stared at him for a few seconds, and looked away as if it was a little difficult to face.
"Go ahead," he whispered.
The academician came over, connected both ends of the electrodes to both sides of the test subject's temples, and put a helmet on him.
Immediately, someone walked back and forth to adjust the equipment, and there were soft voices of talking and checking data around. Immediately afterwards, there was a light buzzing sound, and the surrounding instruments were activated at the same time, and the current passed through the wires in an instant, shocking the whole body of the test subject!
"Ah... ah..." The boy fell to the ground, his whole body trembling violently for a few seconds, and the doctor shut off the electric switch with a "snap!"
Several people rushed up to take off the helmet, and the boy was still on the ground convulsing. Kaleyan stepped forward to lift him up, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you succeed?!"
Did you succeed? Gavin's thoughts turned: If this is the soul refraction experiment, it would be too simple, but if it is not, then what are these people trying to do
"The signal has been fully input, and the command has started to activate!" The academician stared at the computer closely, and saw rows of codes flashing quickly, and finally a line of green 100% appeared, and immediately turned back excitedly: "All commands are activated, and the mental threshold starts rise!"
The boy twitched and opened his eyes, his pupils were scattered and out of focus, and he could only make a sound of "ah-ah-". Kaleyan let go and took half a step back, watching the test subject nervously with everyone, until he got up awkwardly from the ground, his hands trembling violently, and subconsciously wrapped his body tightly with a white coat.
"Successful..." Kaleyan panted, and suddenly turned around and ordered: "Start the 'Blue Bird'! Quick!"
-What's the meaning? Gavin poked his head out from the shadows, staring at the boy in surprise. His whole body was wet and awkward, his eyes were dazed and his lips were slightly parted. He didn't look like a sane person, but rather a failed product bred in a genetic experiment.
They had entered instructions into his brain... what instructions
What do they want him to do
The researchers quickly took their positions, and the light in the test field changed. A few seconds later, the ground gave out a dull vibration, and then it split from the middle. It was only then that Gavin noticed that the space they were in was very large. This should be the core part of the exile army's main ship. The floor that gradually cracked was like an unimaginably huge animal mouth.
And as the animal's mouth was fully opened, a semi-complete mecha slowly protruded from the ground, reflecting a dazzling luster under the light—
Gavin's eyes widened in astonishment.
That's Phoenix!
That turned out to be a brand new and intact Mecha Phoenix!
The young man stared blankly at the mecha until it suddenly stopped, and the cockpit behind the breastplate slowly opened.
Kaleyan looked at the scene of people looking at each other, and suddenly a deep sense of absurdity rose from his heart.
What a ridiculous scene: Celia stood here hundreds of years ago and summoned the mecha phoenix, and the officers watched him enter the cockpit with admiration and fanaticism, just like watching the eternal spiritual symbol of the alliance; But now, in the same location and the same scene, the mecha is a fake imitation of the phoenix, and the person is just a shell that looks exactly like Celia.
How ridiculous, like a living joke.
"Okay," the academician murmured, "Now... let's get on the plane."
The boy moved and walked towards the open cockpit machinery. A series of physical values were immediately displayed on the surrounding screens. Blood pressure, respiration, and thought frequency all became curves that were constantly changing, and the most striking green Xu curve represented the mental threshold.
Both Kaleyan and the researchers stared back at the curve, and saw that it kept rising while swinging, and soon broke through 80%—and then went all the way higher, rushing straight to 90% in the eyes of everyone's expectations.
Behind them, Gavin looked at the boy's back, he was almost walking into the cockpit door.
Gavin's pupils constricted, and suddenly a bold idea took shape in his mind.
He quietly got out from the bottom of the cabin and ran a few steps close to the corner. Kaleyan seemed to have a slight sense, but Gavin had slipped behind him the moment he turned his head.
At that moment, the timing was perfectly grasped, Kaleyan glanced at the test subject, then turned to look at the mental threshold curve—
In the shadow behind him, Gavin breathed a sigh of relief, got up and rushed into the cockpit like an arrow!
In an instant, he passed the test subject, and his front and rear feet entered the mecha; then the hatch closed, and Gavin rushed into the corner and quickly hid.
And the test subject mechanically walked to the neural network, sat down, and faced the console.
What is it for? Driving a mech
Gavin narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next second, the whole body of the mecha shook, and all the steel plates of the mothership suddenly evacuated—
The mecha blue bird directly leaked out of the test field, like a helpless steel giant, suddenly fell into the cold air at high altitude!
"Test subject GTX0012 is ready!" Kaleyan's roar exploded in the communication device: "Aim at the target and activate the firepower system!"
The test body is surrounded by nerve belts, mechanically pushing the joystick.
The nearly 100 mental threshold is not a joke after all, the firepower output system immediately automatically aimed at the target—the battle airship of the Ninth Fleet of the Empire, which was approaching at full speed, and then fired a blatant shot!
Half a second later, a ball of sparks lit up on the screen, and several airships were instantly wiped out in the flames!
Gavin stood up, staring closely at the boy's blank face.
Now he finally understood what the exiled army wanted the test subject to do—they wanted to use its mental threshold to fight, and they wanted to push it out as a signboard in full view of the battlefield!
It will be Marshal Celia officially certified by the Alliance to be resurrected from the dead, and the entire galaxy will be shaken by it; and this is the real meaning of "pretend"!
