After passing through a long corridor, Ben and the fat old man stood in front of an inconspicuous door. But this place is already 500 meters underground in Asgard. Although the corridor behind them is quiet and there are no people, but the monitors hidden in the blind corners and walls will record everyone who passes by all day long.
Asgard's central intellectual brain will allocate 10% of its energy to monitor this corridor, and anyone who appears in the corridor will be compared with the data in the intellectual brain's information database immediately. Once a person without authority appears, nearly a hundred alloy armor plates with a thickness of 30 centimeters will instantly drop down in the corridor. People who are judged to be "trespassing" will be separated by armor plates, and within 5 seconds, nearby security personnel will arrive at the scene. And among these guards, there are ten eighth-level ability users all year round. For ordinary cities, one eighth-level ability user is already an unimaginable big man. Only Asgard can keep these people in the dark base for many years, and there are as many as ten of them.
In addition to these ten eighth-level ability users, there are as many as a hundred other seventh- to fifth-level ability users, and the number of ordinary servants is as many as three thousand. Such a configuration, for this era, is already a terrifying force capable of leveling many towns. But the army arranged under Asgard is only to guard the super biochemical experiment base which is the same size as Asgard.
The location where Ben and the fat old man are now is the core area of the experimental base, and there are only three people in the entire Asgard who can come to this area.
One of them is naturally Ben, the highest authority in Asgard, and the other is the fat old man next to Ben, who is also the director of the experimental base, Dr. Raphael. The last person is the successor trained by Ben, who is also one of the five main gods, God of War Tire.
If the Twelve Lord Hall is the soul of Asgard, then the room behind the door in front of Ben's eyes is Asgard's brain. The room behind the door is not only an important computer room of the central intellectual brain, but also the private office of Professor Rafael. After the fat old man passed a series of rigorous identity verifications, this seemingly ordinary door was slowly opened.
It is first indented 10 centimeters, and then separated in the center. Only then did the doors on both sides shrink into the left and right walls. It was only then that I could see that the surface was just a wooden door, but the middle was an extremely hard alloy. And it is not an ordinary alloy, its density is about 20 times that of ordinary alloys, and its weight is even more than one hundred tons. If it is not controlled by the hydraulic machine hidden in the wall, if you want to separate them with human power alone, then it is impossible to do it unless you have a strength above the ninth level.
When the door was fully opened, what appeared in Ben's eyes was a circular space with an area of about 500 square meters. In this circular office, the walls are covered by countless light screens, which form the special walls of the office. There is an ordinary chair placed in the middle of the office. There is something connected to the ceiling on the back of the chair. This is the support of the chair. At that time, the seat was controlled to rise into the air.
This office has a height of hundreds of meters. When the doctor rises into the air, the lights on the ceiling and the ground will be turned off, making the doctor feel like he is in the universe. Behind the chair is a helmet connected with countless cables. Through the sensors in the helmet, the doctor can operate the central brain with his own thoughts to deduce or extract any information he needs.
When Ben walked into this office, he looked up and saw that the light screens on the wall corresponded to the different experimental areas of the base. Each experimental area is divided into nearly a hundred images to achieve the purpose of observation without dead ends. The research projects in each experimental area are different. Ben glanced over and saw that living corpses, zerg, giant beasts and even mutated plants also existed in it.
The significance of the existence of this super biochemical experimental base is to study all kinds of mutated creatures and even capable people. Under the auspices of Dr. Rafael, researchers will extract the genes of various experimental targets and combine them to create controllable biological weapons. There are tens of thousands of different life forms, and the number of them determines the patterns of gene combinations. But not all combinations can give birth to brand new life, which can be transformed into biological weapons, and some strange-shaped and ancient corpses are being removed all the time in the visible cultivation tanks.
They are the losers of genetic combinations, with a negligible chance of success in an almost infinite number of combinations. This seems almost incomprehensible. Asgard invested a lot of resources but only got these failed products. It seems that there is no need to continue such experiments. But Ben believes that when the factors of failure are eliminated one by one, success is not far away.
Facts proved that he was right. After the failed gene combination plans were rejected and archived one by one, the researchers who gradually grasped the law of combination types and quantities finally succeeded in creating two kinds of biological weapons in the spring of this year.
On the wall to the left of Ben, there are two large light screens, each showing a picture of a culture tank.
In the picture on the left, the cultivation tank is extremely huge, ten times the length and width of ordinary cultivation tanks, about two hundred meters cubic. In the culture tank was a piece of dark green base solution, and in this green base solution was an equally huge black shadow. This is a biological weapon named Iron Fortress, and it looks like an ancient mammoth. But it has biological armor on its head, back, chest and limbs. What's even more strange is that there are two protruding bony objects on the back of this biological weapon, which are the unformed biological rapid-fire cannons of the Iron Fortress.
This is a semi-finished steel fortress. When it is finally completed, the steel fortress will have both defensive and offensive qualities. The biological armor on it will cover the whole body, its hardness is three times that of alloy armor, and its defense power is equivalent to a fifth-level defense enhancement, which makes the steel fortress very difficult to kill. The two biological rapid-fire cannons on the back of the steel fortress can blast out the biological energy in the biological weapon in the form of cannonballs, which makes the steel fortress capable of attacking and defending, and it is an offensive biological weapon.
It's just that according to Professor Rafael's design, the defense strength of the steel fortress should be equal to the ability of the seventh level, and it doesn't have a rapid-fire cannon on it, but a biological beam cannon. The beam cannon will have both penetrating and sputtering effects, and the attack interval is 3 seconds, of which 2 seconds cool down and 1 second recharge. And these data are all conclusions drawn after rigorous derivation.
But in the real gene combination, there is no reason why the original rigorous data also deviated. Not only has the defense level dropped, but the biological light-velocity cannon equipped has also become a rapid-fire cannon, which can be said to be an incomplete version of the steel fortress.
As for the biological weapon in the other light screen, it was a wolf-shaped creature called a sentinel. The sentinel is similar in size to a Fenry wolf, with hair like a black waterfall. It's floating in a base that's also green, but just a little bit fluorescent from the root of each hair to the tip. From a distance, the Sentinel looked like a burning black flame.
The sentinel's eyes were closed tightly, but a vertical pupil appeared in the center of his forehead. The vertical pupils are composed of countless concentric circles. If you look carefully, you will find that these concentric circles are all numbers. This eye will record everything the sentinel sees, and it will naturally emit a special wave energy. After the wave energy is received and decrypted, it will restore the picture seen by the sentinel.
The advantage of the sentinel is speed and recording, and its attack method is to convert biological energy into black flames, which are sprayed from the wolf's kiss to attack the enemy. The black flame also has a high temperature of 500 degrees, and it is viscous. Once it is contaminated by black fire, it is difficult to completely extinguish it. But compared to the fortified steel fortress, the sentinel's attack is relatively weak, and it is not good at defense, it is easy to be killed.
This is also an incomplete version of a biological weapon. According to Professor Rafael's design, the Sentinel should be an erect human type similar to a werewolf, so as to adapt to more and more complex terrain environments. The full version of Sentinel can eject light claws condensed by high heat energy, which can cut through ordinary alloy armor. Moreover, the Sentinels in werewolf form have an efficient food digestion system, and can extract energy from almost any substance to provide what they need for their activities.
This form of Sentinel can go deep into the enemy's territory for a long time, and it is difficult to be found. Unlike the incomplete version of the sentinel, it needs to eat a lot of food to maintain the energy required for activities, so that the enemy can easily find its existence.
But in any case, Steel Fortress and Sentinel are finally Asgard's epoch-making works. With them, Asgard is the second city with biological weapons after Asmo in the extreme north of Iceland, although the definitions of biological weapons are different between the two.
Just another period of time for data collection, error correction. It could have been foreseen that a complete version of biological weapons would appear soon, or two incomplete versions of biological weapons would be mass-produced. The intelligence of a biological weapon is as high as that of a seven-year-old child, able to recognize simple commands. In terms of ability, it can't match high-level ability users, and even the middle-level ability users are far inferior. Their potential has been determined at the beginning of creation, and the size of the potential depends on the original gene and the degree of fusion of the gene combination.
For example, the defense and strength of the Steel Fortress are equivalent to a fifth level ability, and after it comes out, it can no longer increase its level. Until the end of its life, the Steel Fortress can only maintain a fifth level ability. It will not advance, nor will it go backwards, this is the particularity of biological weapons. Perhaps Asgard can create higher level biological weapons, but it cannot create life that can evolve independently. After all, that is the realm of the gods.
"Look here, old friend."
Professor Raphael's voice interrupted Ben's conception, and he looked at Raphael with a smile when he came back to his senses. The fat old man put on the sensor helmet, and after a series of instructions in his mind, the light screen in front of the two spread around the wall as if pushed aside by an invisible hand, revealing a large screen nearly ten meters wide in the center .
The screen was pitch black at first, and then there were countless data rising from the bottom up. Their speed was so fast that it was difficult for even Ben to capture them. And below these data streams, there is a golden progress bar. At this time, the rapidly scrolling data on the screen sometimes suddenly freezes, and then some data is extracted and floated into the progress bar below.
Every time a piece of data floats in, the progress bar is pushed forward with difficulty. However, information is constantly being extracted from the data stream, so although it is slow, the progress bar advances at a speed visible to the naked eye. This movement lasted for about ten minutes, and there was no more information floating in the data stream, and the movement of the progress bar also stopped.
This progress bar is divided into seven stages, representing seven levels of gene locks. Currently, the progress bar stops at a fairly close distance from the secondary gene lock. It was so close that it seemed to jump over at any moment, but in fact it stopped. Letting the picture on the light screen jump slightly due to electronic imaging, it feels like the progress bar is still moving. But he couldn't fool Ben's eyes. He stared at it for a full minute, and at the same time compared the images he saw on a frame per second basis. The progress bar didn't even have a gap of 1 millimeter.
"What's going on?" Ben asked.
"Since he came to Asgard from zero, his gene lock progress bar has not advanced. It was not until yesterday, when I came back here after finishing a project research, that his progress bar did not know when it started to advance. " Raphael said excitedly: "You know, although I can advance the progress bar by filling in some data, so as to predict the trend of the gene from God, the direction of ability development, etc. But this process is lengthy , It is very cumbersome and easy to code. Even with the assistance of the central brain, the progress bar has not advanced by 1% in the past two months. But tomorrow, I found that it has advanced by a full 10%! A full ten A percentage point, old friend, which also makes Zero's current progress only 4% away from the second-level gene lock."
Ben smiled and said nothing, he knew Raphael well. The advancement of the progress bar is indeed exciting, but what Rafael is excited about definitely doesn't stop there.
Sure enough, Rafael used the sensor helmet to continue to give instructions to the brain. As a result, the central light screen shrank, and several ordinary light screens moved over. Some of these light screens are digital formulas that the Institute cannot understand, some are complex gene sequence charts that are different from human beings, and some are three-dimensional models of biological weapons that I have never seen before.
"these are?"
"Revelation!" Raphael took off the sensor helmet and said excitedly: "I have differentiated countless information from the part that I got analyzed from the progress bar of zero. Old friend, it is probably hard for you to imagine that the period of ten percent The data contained in the bar almost includes genes, life, and some knowledge that I can't understand. It is no exaggeration to say that what it presents is another world!"
"The progress bar of zero is the key to open a new world for us!" Raphael pointed to the light screen of the progress bar that has shrunk and said, "A small part of the analyzed data can be immediately applied to our current research. In the project. For example, the gene completion of biological weapons, and gene combinations that we have never thought of, etc. And more, we need to continue to study before we can draw conclusions."
"That's enough." Ben patted Rafael on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "You're right, old friend. Zero is a brand new creation, a successful combination of man and god. I can almost foresee, The end point of his evolution is the new human being in our theory, or the ultimate life form conceived by the Atlantis civilization but not realized. Whether we can get to that point depends on you, do you have the ability? Lost to the strength of Professor Halson!"
When he heard the name Halson, the excitement on the fat old man's face gradually subsided. He thought for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If it's theoretical knowledge, I don't think I will lose to the teacher, or even surpass him. But the teacher said that we are doing the most scientific and rigorous work, but at the same time we need children." I don’t think I’ll lose to the teacher in other things, but I’m short of imagination, old friend. This damn world has squeezed out all my fantasies about it, so I can only focus on the present, not imagine future!"
The seriousness in Professor Raphael's tone stopped the smile on Ben's face. But after a while, the smile unfolded, and Ben said loudly: "If the road is full of thorns, I am willing to go with you!"
These are the words of mutual encouragement among their former friends, and now it is said from Ben's mouth, which is particularly emotional. Rafael forced a smile and said: "You still remember, think about it now. Although the days were hard back then, we lived to the fullest. Now at least we don't have to worry about starving to death, but you and Oglock have fallen out. Seriously Yes, I can't tell which life I like better, the past or the present."
"Meaningless thinking will only distract us, old friend." Ben sighed softly: "The Oglok is no longer what he was back then. The Oglok who advocated democracy and freedom is dead, and now only the darkness lives. The speaker of the parliament is dark and terrifying. You also know that what Ologek wants is not a free country, but a feudal dynasty respected by him. If he is allowed to achieve, then the mainland will not have half a democracy for a long time It’s fair to say. Look at those people outside, old friend. Although they are not easy in Asgard, at least they have dignity. If they are ruled by Oglok, what is the difference between them and cattle and sheep?”
"I understand." Rafael smiled wryly: "If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have broken up with you back then. And in order to avoid countless lives dying like thirty years ago, I have only I will desperately study the knowledge of biological weapons, hoping to use them to replace living fighters. You know, my strengths are not in biological and biochemical aspects."
After a pause, Rafael sighed: "Now I really admire Professor Willost, who was as famous as the teacher back then. I could make a difference in biological weapons only by relying on the teacher's notes. But he, at that time, made a breakthrough out of thin air. Conceive the terrifying biological weapon of the pioneer. If the day of the cataclysm hadn't come, maybe Professor Willost's pioneer would have appeared."
"Yes, if we find the experimental data of the Pioneers, then we can avoid detours in our research on biological weapons." Missed.
