"You said the research is divided into two parts, but what about the other part?" Chen Nuo asked.
"The other part is biotechnology research... conducted on the corpses of these alien creatures."
"What did you find?"
"Research on organs and biology has been hard to find anything of value...
These alien creatures are very ferocious and powerful, and their skeletal structures, life systems, etc. have all been classified.
But what is really valuable is research at the genetic level.
Our human level of technology in this area is still very shallow, such as gene sequencing.
Therefore, in this regard, studying the genes of alien organisms is very valuable to us and provides a lot of inspiration.
But it’s very difficult, very, very difficult…”
Chen Nuo sighed secretly.
After all, it was only 2001...
"Studying the genetic engineering of these alien creatures is a very valuable gold mine. It may involve production, military, medical, environment, medicine, life..." Chen Nuo sneered: "But I feel that you may not only be
For these, right?
Octopus Monster is not a pure business consortium, and your goal is not to simply make money."
"Yes, but these are not what we are discussing now." Nolan shook his head and continued: "We finally made some breakthroughs in genetic engineering last year.
But this breakthrough... has really shocked many people... or should I say... frightened!"
"Scared?" The follower beside the wizard shook his head and said, "What does that mean?"
This follower had always spoken very little and was taciturn, with a weak sense of presence. But when he spoke now, his voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Nolan, then at the wizard, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm talking too much."
"It doesn't matter, this is what I want to ask too." The wizard said calmly: "Nolan, please tell me quickly."
"The linear arrangement of chromosomes..."
"Wait, speak human language." The wizard immediately interrupted Nolan: "We are not experts in this field! Speak human language!"
Nolan smiled bitterly and said: "Well, to put it simply, the chromosome arrangement of these things breaks the linear rules.
They present some regressions, jumps, repetitions, divergences in a strict order of rules...
Then, these rules changed and turned into something even more terrifying...
If you use intuitive vision to edit...these changes that break the linear rules can be visually edited into something like this..."
As he spoke, Nolan raised his hand and scratched the air three times.
"What is this?" the captain asked with a frown.
"A triangle?" Chen Nuo asked.
"Yes, a triangle, an equilateral regular triangle, exactly the same. The rules are very strict." Nolan sighed.
Then, he added: "It's like a... brand."
"brand?"
"Yes, it's like the Creator who created these alien creatures has left a mark on them at the genetic level!
In other words, how were these alien creatures created?
Moreover, the opponent's creator was so powerful that he could manipulate the genetic level at will, leaving a mark on this creature.
Triangle, the strongest figure in geometry."
brand!
It's like the mark that ancient slave owners put on their slaves?
Chen Nuo began to think quickly.
Then, he suddenly spoke in a strange tone...
"Brand...?
Why do I think it's more like...a badge? A totem?
or……
trademark?"
Everyone understands why it is said to be "scared".
The genetic field is the most cutting-edge scientific research field, gathering a group of the smartest and most advanced brains among mankind.
However, mankind's current achievements in this field are still at a very preliminary stage.
Let's put it this way, if we use an analogy, it is similar to the primitive people who drilled wood to make fire.
It is conceivable that at the genetic level, a primitive man is still digging wood to make fire.
Suddenly I saw someone who could directly build a nuclear reactor with controllable fusion...
This difference can indeed directly break people's mentality!
"If anything, the results of biotechnology research are frightening and depressing.
So research in mechanical and physical engineering has also yielded an almost despairing discovery.
After reversely studying the exploding alien spacecraft, we came to an unacceptable conclusion:
This alien spacecraft has no power system at all!
Gentlemen, this discovery nearly drove an entire group of researchers to despair.
Just imagine, a car can only run with a power system!
A car without a power system is just an iron box.
And how did an alien spacecraft without a power system fly to our planet?"
Nolan said this, shook his head and said: "So, many previous speculations have been overturned.
In the end, everyone can only draw one conclusion.
The spaceship we found is not a 'ship'.
It might just be a rescue capsule, or..."
"Cargo cabin?" Chen Nuo suddenly interrupted and said quickly: "Maybe it's a real alien spacecraft. When it encounters an accident, the rescue capsule is released from the main hull, or it's the cargo cabin!
Don't forget, the genes of the alien creatures you obtained...that damn brand or trademark.
Maybe what you found was a cargo hold that fell off.
And these alien creatures inside are just goods that you accidentally discovered...with a 'trademark'?"
Nolan took a deep look at Chen Nuo: "Your speculation is generally in line with our final inference - in fact, it is really difficult to find other directions for speculation."
Chen Nuo frowned and said, "Then the problem arises.
If it's a cargo hold or rescue hatch.
Where is the main spaceship?”
"...We haven't found it so far."
·
Nolan explained this problem in his subsequent answer.
The alien spacecraft that was found, or the "rescue capsule" or "cargo compartment", was not large in size, only the size of a house.
There is no power system.
After speculation and reverse research, it was determined that there was a survival system.
Based on the landing attitude and position of the alien iron box when found, through speculation and judgment. If there is an alien main spacecraft, then release this iron box...
It's in the atmosphere!
In other words, the main spacecraft entered the atmosphere.
Based on the location of the iron box, it can be determined that if the main spacecraft releases it...
The main spacecraft must have encountered some kind of accident or emergency.
And in the atmosphere, if it falls or crashes...
After research, Octopus's team determined that the fall point must not be too far away.
Finally, the area with the highest possibility was delineated, which is...
Red circle!
However……
"There is nothing here."
Nolan shook his head and said: "Satellite exploration, artificial exploration, we built a base here and spent a lot of money and manpower here.
Believe me, we used all available technical means, including searching for people with abilities.
But all is not right.
Remote sensing and surveying have been carried out under the ice and permafrost.
All results are: zero!
We even began to suspect that the alien spacecraft that dropped this iron box might not have crashed or landed at all, or might have left long ago."
Speaking of this, Nolan said lightly: "If it hadn't been for the insistence of a certain senior executive within the company, this base project would have been canceled long ago."
After saying this, Nolan said slowly: "Gentlemen, this is all I know.
There are more things that I cannot know based on my level within the company.
Now I've shown my trump card.
This operation, part of the mission, is also to rescue the specimens of alien creatures left here, and if possible, transport them out so that research can continue."
The wizard stared at Nolan and said, "Okay, I can believe you didn't lie.
Those, now let’s talk about how we can survive! We have more important problems to solve now.”
Chen Nuo nodded and looked around the basement.
"There are no traces of ultra-low temperature freezing on the wall... In other words, when the base was attacked by ultra-low temperature, it was not affected!
The temperature here is..."
With that said, Chen Nuo glanced at the meter on his wrist: "5 degrees?"
"Yes." Nolan said slowly: "There is an independent system here that is separate from the base's main control system to ensure that when the base encounters a crisis, the specimens stored here will still not be damaged.
There is also a survival system here, which stores solid oxygen. The survival system can continuously release oxygen... It is completely isolated from the outside world in terms of air."
"A 'Doomsday Fortress'?" the captain asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes, except for the lack of food and drinking water, it can basically be regarded as a doomsday fortress that can operate independently." Nolan said slowly: "The barrier has appeared, so according to our previous calculations, the distance to the next window
There are still 27 hours left before it appears.
If you don't eat or drink for 27 hours, you won't die, right?"
"What if the window period has not arrived after 27 hours?" Chen Nuo shook his head and said: "If that kind of strange monster can appear here, then there is obviously something we don't know about.
With the emergence of the barrier and the early end of the window period, it is obvious that something is trying to kill us.
So we are not sure whether the next window period will arrive as scheduled after 27 hours."
"Then we can only use the final plan I mentioned." Nolan's eyes showed a firm look: "Blow up this barrier!"
"Wait a minute... maybe, we can dig a tunnel out?"
The wizard's follower spoke slowly: "Is this barrier made of a bowl or a ball? We can try... maybe it just blocks the ground..."
"It's spherical." The wizard immediately shook his head, looked at the follower, and sighed softly: "Ruke, I already sensed this when I used my mental power to attack the barrier.
The barrier that blocks my mental power not only exists on the surface, but also exists underground."
Chen Nuo's heart moved.
The relationship between the wizard and his follower is a bit strange.
This follower has always been taciturn, but when he occasionally speaks, he becomes very...
No experience?
He looks like a newbie.
The wizard came out to perform such an important task, and he actually brought a rookie with him?
"Okay, let's decide?
What now? Go up and bring everyone down?" Chen Nuo glanced at the captain: "Captain, what do you mean?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought." The captain nodded and pondered deliberately: "This is the only way now."
"Then, the last question... This is the company's top secret. The two controllers. If the company pursues the investigation afterwards, it may be difficult for the company to take any extreme measures against the controllers.
But the people above...there are also four ability users, as I said, once they come in here..."
"It's good to be alive! We don't have time to worry about this kind of problem now." The captain immediately shook his head and said: "Nolan, let's go up and bring people down."
In fact, Chen Nuo and Nolan...including the wizard and his follower Ban Luke all understood Nolan's subtext!
The four people followed Nolan down and came here, adding what Nolan said before...
Nolan’s subtext is actually not difficult to understand:
Don't worry about the people above! Just let them stay above, and the five people coming down will wait here!
The explosion-proof doors outside and the tunnel of the elevator can be closed.
Once it is closed, just let the people above fend for themselves.
This is also the reason why Nolan insisted on bringing only two controllers down at the beginning.
The wizard glanced at the captain and Chen Nuo, and suddenly smiled.
"You are kind."
He then nodded: "I have no objection, just bring them all down. As for the future... let's survive first."
"But..." Luke suddenly spoke.
This wizard's follower looks to be about thirty years old, and he has a beard on his face. However, his words always sound timid and shy.
