Chapter 23 Recruitment from the Academy of Sciences
After a month of intense construction, a modern military base capable of accommodating 500,000 people stands on the vast Anokhi grassland. Special cement filled with reinforcing agent is covered with metal defensive armor to build a tall wall around the base. An all-metal fire point is deployed every thirty meters on the wall. The metal gates under the wall are connected to the criss-crossing tunnels outside the base. These tunnels The outward spread connects the scattered bunkers and fire points outside the base, and extends to a place 1,000 meters away from the wall. The interior of the base is divided into several areas according to the different functions of the warships, including training grounds, living areas, medical areas, etc. Soldiers wearing uniforms coming and going make the base look like a small fully functional city.
The general headquarters of the task force expects to stay on the Annoki planet for at least April to June. Without modern weapons and equipment, and lack of effective means of communication, the task force is like a beast that has lost its eyes, ears and sharp claws. No longer able to launch a large-scale ground war. After withdrawing the lone deep-seated 1st Division, the task force suspended all large-scale military operations. It was changed to small-scale mecha special operations. The combat tasks are mainly to cover the geological survey of the Academy of Sciences, protect the Academy of Sciences' biological research team to collect Anokhi biological samples, protect the large ecological park being built behind the base to provide fresh food for the base, etc., in fact At this time, almost all military operations were conducted around the Academy of Sciences.
Yi Lexiang has been locked up in the special ward at the Academy of Sciences research base for more than two months. Apart from joking and joking with the military police guarding him every day, he just expected Meng Yanqian to bring something exciting to him, and his life was very carefree.
"Damn it, Xiang, come with me." Meng Yanqian, who comes to see Yi Lexiang at this time every day, brought him a special surprise today. She looked at several military police who tried to block her, "What are you doing? This is A special warrant issued by Academician Chen Yanyi asked Axiang to go to the laboratory."
After carefully checking the documents in Meng Yanqian¡¯s hand, several military police officers were a little reluctant to leave. Where could they find such an easy job?
"Okay, Axiang, we can finally go out for a walk." Amidst the ridicule of the military police, Yi Lexiang walked out of the ward where he had been confined for two months.
As Meng Yanqian turned left and right in the uniform white passages of the scientific research base, he was confused. These white passages were almost identical, and it was unclear how Meng Yanqian could tell them apart. Soon the two came to a white metal door. Meng Yanqian put her hand on the palm print detection panel. A blue light scanned up and down, and then scanned the pupils. When they walked into the door, Yi Lexiang unexpectedly discovered this. It's just an elevator. What kind of place is this? The defense is so tight.
Watching Meng Yanqian fiddle with the panel next to the door, the elevator started to start. At this time, Yi Lexiang suddenly realized that the magnetic storm had destroyed all electronic equipment? He pointed at the panel that kept flashing at Meng Yanqian in confusion, "This place is driven by bioenergy, and the task force is the only one that can still use this laboratory." Looking at Yi Lexiang's confused look, Meng Yanqian sighed. He explained with a slight smile that it took about five or six minutes for the elevator to stop. When you step out of the elevator, you will see a huge space enclosed by transparent Plexiglas. People in white sterile suits are constantly walking around and they don't know what they are doing. Meng Yanqian took Yi Lexiang into a white sterilized room. After a simple disinfection, the two of them put on white sterile clothes, passed through a transparent glass door and entered the huge laboratory.
"There are now seventeen experimental groups here." Meng Yanqian saw Yi Lexiang looking around and explained funnyly, "Instructor Chen, the biology group led by him is here."
The huge space is divided into more than a dozen small rooms, which are probably laboratories for researching different projects. Along the way, scientific researchers wearing white sterile suits stopped to say hello to Meng Yanqian. It was obvious that they were here. People doted on her very much. After walking through several rooms in succession, Meng Yanqian stopped in a laboratory in the northeast corner. "When you meet the instructor later, don't talk nonsense. Instructor Chen usually doesn't like to talk much. Just do whatever he asks you to do." Meng Yanqian warned Yi Lexiang worriedly before entering the room.
When I walked into the laboratory, I saw Academician Chen Yanyi talking to the people around him with a serious face. This serious middle-aged man looked very haggard, with messy gray hair and bloodshot eyes. Seeing Meng Yanqian and Yi Lexiang walking in, she pointed to the seat next to her, telling them to wait a moment. After a while, he came over with an old man with some gray hair.
"Are you the boy who is not afraid of the blood of protozoa?" After looking up and down, the old man asked unceremoniously.
"Yes" Yi Lexiang couldn't help but rolled his eyes. How could such an old man appear? Like Academician Chen Yanyi, his gray hair, which seems to have not been cleaned for many days, is piled messily on his head. He is a bit short and has a pair of small eyes under his broad forehead.??, coupled with the huge nose, reminded Yi Lexiang of an animal on earth - a lion.
"Well, you come with me." It wasn't easy for Lexiang to say anything. The old man turned around and said, "Xiao Chen, I'll take him there first. If you don't make progress, you might as well change your mind. Don't be so rigid. Scientists sometimes have to learn to be flexible. "
"Okay, mentor." Academician Chen Yanyi, who had always been stoic and unsmiling, had an expression of embarrassment on his face for the first time when he heard the old man's words.
"Damn, this old man is actually Chen Mutou's mentor?" Yi Lexiang was shocked listening to the conversation between the two.
The old man didn¡¯t care about Yi Lexiang behind him and pushed the door open and walked out. Oh my god, Yi Lexiang had no choice but to accept his fate and follow the old man obediently in the face of such an awesome person. Before going out, she saw Meng Yanqian cutely waving her pink hands at her, slightly pouting her mouth, her bright eyes a little dim, and she was a little reluctant to leave without knowing Yi Lexiang's arrangement.
After passing through several laboratories, he came to the door of a room that was obviously much larger than the others. Along the way, Yi Lexiang was surprised to find that the old man had a different identity in this huge laboratory. The scientific researchers who were constantly walking in the passage saw The old men consciously stood on both sides and let this awesome old man go first. Yi Lexiang couldn't help but mutter to himself, what could such a cool person do to him? I am just a soldier, what experiment can I use myself in?
Pushing the door and walking into the room, there were only a few busy figures in sterile clothes. The tables and floors in the laboratory were filled with various mechanical parts, making it look like a messy warehouse. The old man dug out a somewhat worn-out helmet from the messy parts pile. The helmet had no shell, and the exposed wires, tubes, and integrated chips were simply fixed on it. "Put it on."
"What is this?" Yi Lexiang looked at the helmet that the old man handed him, and his face turned pale. He heard that the Academy of Sciences has a brain wave device that can read people's memories. Could it be this one?
"Why are you asking so many questions? Put it on quickly." The old man was a little impatient.
In desperation, Yi Lexiang took the helmet and decided to die. Maybe his mutated mental power was immune to this thing. Gritting his teeth, Yi Lexiang put the somewhat tattered helmet on his head.
??Looking at the old man pulling out a small screen from nowhere, he kept adjusting the buttons on it, and kept muttering "Not bad, the mental strength is basically up to standard, a little bit worse."
"Okay, take it off." The old man put down the screen in his hand and rummaged through the messy parts with his head down. A crumpled report appeared in his hand, with a piece of lubricant forming on the cover. stains.
"I have read a detailed report about your defense battle at the base of the First Division. You killed more than sixty stoneclaw beasts with your bare hands. And according to the Academy of Science's research on stoneclaw beasts, it shows that it is almost impossible for a normal human to kill them with bare hands." Kill this kind of creature." Hearing what the old man said, Yi Lexiang's heart sank. He was finally classified as a non-human being. What would be waiting for him? Being dragged onto the operating table for dissection, or sectioning? Yi Lexiang suddenly had the urge to knock down the old man in front of him and run away, but when he thought about the series of security checks when he came in, how could he escape?
The old man looked at Yi Lexiang inexplicably, his face turned red and white, his expression turned ferocious and frustrated, "Boy, are you listening to me?" The old man's angry roar awakened Yi Lexiang's thoughts, and he moved his eyes up and down. He glanced at the old man. It seemed that this old man was an important figure. Can't he be kidnapped? No, there is a military base with 500,000 people stationed outside. Where can I escape? Even if I escape, won't I be able to associate with wild beasts in the future?
"Snapped"
"Ouch." The old man who was really angry picked up the parts on the table and threw them at Yi Lexiang. Yi Lexiang, who was still thinking wildly, was hit hard. "Boy, my time is precious, I don't have time to accompany you." You are thinking nonsense here." After thinking carefully, Yi Lexiang had no way to escape and had to wait quietly for the old man's verdict.
"The main reason why human soldiers cannot compete with the stoneclaw beasts is the corrosiveness of the special blue blood of Anokhi creatures." A sense of happiness from hell to heaven after a disaster impacted Yi Lexiang's somewhat fragile mind. Little mind, it turned out that he didn't realize his secret. This old man was breathing heavily when he spoke. The sudden change in mood caused Yi Lexiang to cough non-stop. The old man looked at this funny boy with anger, and his eyes were filled with anger. , his thick nostrils snorted, reminding Yi Lexiang of the fire-breathing dragon in ancient Western legends. Yi Lexiang slightly shrunk his neck, pretending to have a low eyebrow.
"Leave aside the issue of blood, a well-trained soldier can still kill a stone-clawed beast with bare hands. However, your record is still shocking, and your physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers." The old man saidHe glanced at Yi Lexiang with some submissiveness, "Xiao Chen has tested your blood and cell tissue these days. Except that the cell vitality is very active, he has not found anything abnormal. This makes us very confused. Of course. That's a concern of their biology group and I'm not interested in that."
