Before dawn, Mo Yunshu was awakened by his ears, and the other four members of the core team were also awakened. All of them were asked to rush to Natalie's office quickly, and when they were at the door of Natalie's office When they got together, Mo Yunshu saw that everyone in front of him looked exactly like him—a look of confusion, after all, today is the day of departure of the Sun Chaser, and everyone's job should be to help their team get on the Sun Chaser as soon as possible to make a contribution to take off. Prepare, and now such a sudden call always makes people feel a little uneasy.

Although everyone was present, the door of Natalie's office was locked tightly. Mo Yunshu looked at the huge alloy door without any switches. Although she knew it was a door, she couldn't even see the crack , not to mention the system to open the door.And Mo Yunshu had originally thought of knocking on the door, but instead of looking at the door that even missiles couldn't penetrate, Mo Yunshu put away this idea.

"Ear, open the door." Camilla kicked the little guy under her feet.

There was a beep of dissatisfaction in his ears, and he consciously ran behind Mo Yunshu and hid, but he answered Camilla's question honestly: "I can't open this door today, I have to open it from the inside."

"Then help me contact Natalie." Mo Yunshu patted his head with round ears.

The yellow light in the ear was helpless: "The signal is blocked in the room today, and I can't get in touch."

Just when everyone was feeling unbelievable and a little helpless, the alloy door quietly opened a small gap that only one person could enter. Li Meng stuck out her head from inside, and there were two deep scars on her face. With dark circles under her eyes, it was only then that Camilla remembered that Li Meng hadn't returned to her dormitory for two days.

"Come in." Li Meng said, and made a cross gesture to the ear: "The ear is not good, you have to be outside."

"Okay, okay," the ear said with a lost tone, turning around on the ground: "Poor ear can only guard the gate."

Mo Yunshu touched its round head again, and followed the others into the door. The door was instantly closed, just as silently as when it opened.

After entering the door, all he could see was a strong white light, which was shining on a black wall. Outside the strong light, there was darkness all around. Mo Yunshu couldn't see anything, the size of the room, or the size of the room. When it comes to the setting of the room, I can’t even see who else is in the room. In this case, everyone is quiet, no one makes a sound, and even breathing becomes extremely careful. In the end, everyone’s eyes Locked in that bright light, while the body is still immersed in the darkness.

Immediately after the black wall under the strong light was pulled away, Mo Yunshu realized that it was just a piece of black cloth, and the scene that appeared in Mo Yunshu's eyes after leaving the black cloth really shocked her. In those days of combat, it can be said that she has seen all kinds of Zerg, from scout species as small as ants to space species that can compete with a shield-class ship, but this creature in front of her is something she has never seen before. Zerg, no human, no, Mo Yunshu was struggling, what kind of creature is that!

"WTF! What the hell kind of monster is this?" Even Camilla on the side exclaimed.

Under the strong light is a huge and strong glass, and a strange creature is covered in the glass. It can be said that this creature has gone beyond human understanding of existing species. Both humans and Zerg belong to carbon-based creatures, and humans belong to Chordates, primates, and Zerg are classified as arthropods in the eyes of humans. According to common sense, these two creatures have embarked on two different development routes in the early stages of evolution, but the creature in front of them, It really surprised everyone. It was only the size of a tiger and looked like a mutated ant. Its pincers were surprisingly large and its limbs were covered with rough hair. Mo Yunshu did not deduce that its body should be a Zerg The most common melee ant beast, however, is such an opponent that fighters are most familiar with. Its back is covered with human eyes!

Mo Yunshu looked at the other people. Except for Singer who couldn't help but vomited, the others still maintained their proper composure.

Camilla took a few steps forward, but Li Meng didn't hold her back. It seemed that the glass was safe enough, but when Camilla approached the glass cover, the hideous monster began to become restless.

"Be careful!" Mo Yunshu and Inoue shouted at the same time, and it was at this time that the ant beast spit out an orange liquid, and Camilla instinctively dodged aside, the liquid hit the glass, There is still a trace of blue smoke, if there is a smell through the glass, it must be a disgusting smell.

Camilla took a breath, the monster's attack just now was too frightening, but at least it seemed that the glass was safe enough, so she walked forward again, looked up at the strong light, and then at the monster in front of her , said: "The eyes it handed over are fake eyes, right?"

"It should be." Ming He followed up, and he also looked at the strong light on the top: "It can be fully turned on under such a light. If there is light perception, I am afraid it is fully closed now."

"It is indeed without perception. Its perspective only exists in its two compound eyes." Natalie came out from the darkness. She was wearing a white study uniform with red hair behind her head. It turned out that she was also in the glass cover. not far away.

"What on earth is this?" Inoue asked. Mo Yunshu rarely saw the color of fear on his face. This person who can fight against the Zerg with human power now has less confidence in his words.

"I don't know." Natalie said, "Let's look at it." After speaking, the glass cover became see-through, and the internal structure of the monster was displayed.

At this moment, Minghe was very excited and walked forward until he leaned against the edge of the glass.

"Minghe, what do you see?" Camilla asked.

Minghe pointed at the ant beast in the perspective state, and pointed his fingers tremblingly at its abdomen: "This is the stomach... here is the bladder... and this, this." Minghe said one by one: "These internal organs are all The structure of human beings is exactly the same as yours!"

"What the hell is going on, doctor!" Inoue became agitated, and he said to Minghe again: "Don't be kidding, we..." Inoue hesitated for a moment, but then he continued: "We used to Killed one of this monster and ate it, it's not supposed to look like this."

Mo Yunshu also looked at Natalie, she knew that this should be the secret that Natalie mentioned to her on the beach before, but Natalie said before that it was just a video, but now it appeared in front of her, but A real living creature.

"Natalie, I remember you telling me that this is a video, and I think you need to explain it." Mo Yunshu became the calmest one in the group instead.

Natalie ordered to turn off the strong light, and the glass cover became blurred. In the end, it was impossible to see the monster inside. Slowly, the white light of the laboratory appeared. At this time, Mo Yunshu saw the laboratory and did not see it. It's not as big as they imagined, only a few hundred square meters, but the surroundings of the laboratory are full of strange non-human and non-beast things, just like the black beasts they first saw.

"Is this another experiment you made!" Camilla looked a little excited after seeing the situation in the laboratory.

"Don't get me wrong, the monster under the glass has nothing to do with the doctor." Li Meng said weakly, she finally didn't want anyone to misunderstand Natalie, whom she admired.

Natalie waved her hand and signaled Li Meng not to explain, while she walked up to the five of them. Natalie is a "seeder" but also a scholar. Regarding her own research, she hopes to clarify the truth with her own words.

"You know that I am in the field of robotics and biotechnology, and my 'Sower' project is biological robots." She glanced at Camilla, and then said: "Maybe there are many people who want to be biological robots, And why does this technology make me a 'seeder'."

"Yes." Camilla said with a sneer. Her teacher, a senior botanist, also participated in the Sower Project, but was eliminated. The Sower Committee finally selected Natalie as the The favorite student of the botanist, she really wanted to know what Natalie was doing.

Natalie nodded and continued: "Not to mention the hundreds of years of fighting against the Zerg, how many people have died in the expeditionary army?"

"Close to 400 million." Mo Yunshu said, his eyes dimmed.

"I've been thinking, why do we need flesh and blood to deal with the Zerg? Robots can already replace us in dangerous places, such as miners and firefighters, but why can't they go to war instead of us?"

"Because the robot is not flexible." Inoue replied, he knew how terrible the mobility of the Zerg was: "Sending it to the front line will only waste resources."

"Inoue is right. We all know that robots are so inflexible that they can only die." Natalie affirmed.

"So you want to make a bio-like robot?" Mo Yunshu asked, and she looked at Thursday again. She had a human-like arm, with bones and flesh on it, but the veins became lines, and she also had a bear-like jaw. , the same also has wires outside.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this idea that I became the 'Sower'. I was selected to use this project to change the military model of mankind, so that I can deal with more dangerous alien species in the future." Natalie read Looking at Camilla, she hopes that this explanation can resolve the misunderstanding between the two.

"Then this?" Mo Yunshu pointed to the glass cover.

"This should really be just a video, but it was finally transported from another place five days ago, and we were studying it yesterday." Natalie said: "Let you wait for this month, except for training, It's more about waiting for it."

"If you didn't invent it, then where did it come from? H16?" Ming He remained curious about the glass cover that could no longer be seen inside.

"Yes, it's H16." Natalie replied: "I have encountered bottlenecks in previous experiments. You should remember the black beast. It has strong combat effectiveness, but it is difficult to manage. This is because the DNA of different species is difficult to integrate. , causing the system to be unable to handle the contradiction between such biological characteristics, so I have been unable to create a qualified orc soldier." Natalie also pointed to the glass cover: "Until one day, my team sent its video to me."

"The source of the video comes from a bounty hunter. They were originally hired by a rich businessman to catch a bug for him to play with, but the spaceship malfunctioned and forced to land on H16, and they discovered this by mistake." Natalie continued. : "I'm also amazed at how the Zerg has human organs, and the DNA fusion is so perfect, and why they have human DNA, why are there creatures on H16, and how is its ecosystem Its composition, its geological structure, and its characteristics all require our field exploration before we can draw conclusions."

"You tell us now, aren't we afraid that we will back out because of fear?" Singer, relieved from his fear, finally spoke.

"Not afraid," Natalie smiled confidently, and asked Singer: "Are you not interested in the geographical structure of H16?" Then she asked others: "Camila, you don't want to know what the ecosystem there is?" How about it, don’t want to discover a new species and be recorded in the annals of history? Dr. Minghe, can the organs of this monster be cultivated and transplanted into humans, so that medicine can better help humans?”

The three scientists did not answer, but fell into a kind of silence. Natalie was right. These are what they expected. Because of this, they are willing to join Natalie's team. Only by having the resources of the developers' can they become the best in their field.

But Natalie didn't ask Inoue and Mo Yunshu. She knew that their purpose must be for something else. What scholars want is reputation, but what soldiers want is glory.

The author has something to say:
