Puppeteer [Interstellar]

Lyall's years of reading books are not in vain.

Antimatter, in popular understanding, is a negatively charged proton.Antimatter bombs are made by combining protons and negative protons.

As early as thousands of years ago, that is, when human beings were still on the earth, some scientists put forward hypotheses and made relevant experimental progress. They said that this kind of material is really very powerful when it is made into a weapon. How is it specific? Niubi method, I can't tell for a while, but it can be imagined as a kind of "dynamite", a kind of explosive that can blow up the planet.

When this thing explodes, it can produce an effect called "annihilation". At the same time, it releases a huge amount of unimaginable energy, devouring everything around the explosion range, turning it into ashes...not even ashes are left.

This kind of bomb only needs about 25 kilograms, and [-] kilograms can basically blow up almost half of the earth. At that time, the earth will be like a moon that has been half-gnawed by a tengu, leaving only half a sphere floating in the universe.

This kind of antimatter bomb only existed in the hypothesis of scientists at that time, because antimatter was a kind of matter that was almost impossible to manufacture and preserve according to the technological level at that time, so the scientists at that time were only doing some basic tests and hypotheses.

But now it has been thousands of years, and today's human beings are no longer what they used to be.

Today's human beings have gradually improved their scientific and technological levels. In the process of exploring the universe, people have gradually discovered more things and more discoveries. Many things that they could not do before have now been achieved one by one.

Therefore, today's human beings have not only successfully produced antimatter, but also used antimatter as a kind of fuel. All kinds of spaceships and mechs need a lot of energy and fuel to navigate in the universe, and the fuel required for long-term spaceflight is even greater. It is a huge demand.

Without fuel, interstellar travel cannot be carried out, and more things cannot be explored and discovered, and the energy generated when antimatter explodes and annihilates just meets this demand, so in the mainstream of modern society, everyone basically regards this kind of Substances are used as fuel.

But it's not bad as a weapon. The Alliance Army used this kind of thing to blow up those bugs back then.It’s just that the cost of making antimatter bombs is very high. After a long time of tossing, the amount of antimatter that can be produced is only a few grams. Spending such a lot of energy on things that don’t pay off, this plan was naturally rejected by the Alliance Army.

However, just like some lawbreakers are desperate to smuggle guns, just like the previous pirates who had the courage to rob the research institute for money, there are always a few people in this world who, for personal gain or purpose, can smuggle this A planetary bomb is loaded on its own spaceship.

Pfister in front of Lyle is such an obvious example, this guy is like the kind of terrorist with a bomb strapped all over his body, he is so arrogant and arrogant to threaten you with his life, but you have nothing to do with him Method.

Therefore, Lyle could only sigh to Pfister: "You are really a lunatic."

"It's not crazy." Pfister smiled, and he showed Lyle: "You saw it before, the mutant that was just killed by your puppet, oh, that's really a bad defect, I want to make it To produce something more perfect, even more perfect than the puppets around you, for this I need a lot of human body materials, a lot of goods, the alliance does not allow me to do this, so I can only do it myself."

Pfister still smiled: "But being discovered by the alliance is also a very bad situation, so in order to have a chance to escape unscathed in the worst case, I chose to load this planetary bomb on my ship. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Lyle didn't answer, just looked at him in silence, Pfister didn't mind Lyle's silence, he continued leisurely: "Now, I think we should have a chance to communicate in private, of course I'm not interested now I communicated with you, young man, why don't you help me, an old man, and help us exterminate those bugs outside?"

"I want to see my companion first." Lyle didn't want to give in. "It's okay to ask me to help, but you have to hand over all my companions."

Lyle tries to get the best for himself under the most extreme conditions.

After hearing what Pfister said, he vaguely guessed that Pfister must have done some extremely terrifying human experiments on Earth, and the one he saw before, the poor one killed by Scar The variant of the genus even made Lyle have a related association.

Lyle thought of the missing reconnaissance team, thought of the group of Zerg that landed on the earth inexplicably, and then thought of the scene of Pfister and his group transporting "cargo" in the worm nest before, and Lyle could guess that those lost The contacted scouts, including A Xiao, might be in their hands.

Because of this thought, Lyle felt that he had to dig out all his companions from Pfister.

But Pfister on the opposite side obviously became impatient, and said: "I said before, as long as you help me wipe out those Zergs outside... No, you don't even need to completely wipe them out, just delay the time so that we have enough It's time to repair the spaceship, and I can even drive you and your companions to a safe place in the spaceship. I will honor the 'benefits' I mentioned earlier, so why don't you worry about it? Do you think I'll break my promise?"

"It's not a matter of keeping one's promise." Lyle continued to negotiate with Pfister, pretending to be calm, "I think there are more than one companions on your spaceship, as long as you promise to let them all go, I will Do as you say."

"Oh... I see." Pfister seemed to understand something, "Are there any people you know among the group of refugees I caught?"

"Refugees?" Lyle was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say anything, and simply said, "Yes, there are some of my companions."

Pfister frowned: "That's not good, I'm sorry, if you really have companions among those refugees, I can't guarantee that they are still intact."

Lyle felt a little heavy: "What do you mean by that?"

"For me, they are the experimental materials." Nafister looked indifferent, spread his hands as if helpless, and smiled mockingly at Lyle, "So I have done some interesting experiments on them, Of course, one or two may be accidentally killed, and they may all become like... yes, like the mutant that your puppet killed, I really hope you don't mind."

When Lyle was restless, after hearing what the other party said, he became angry in vain, but Lyle didn't show it. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, tearing off the tentacles of anger crawling out from the depths of his heart. , swallowed back into the stomach.

He should calm down and negotiate with the other party calmly.

"Now I have an urge to order my puppet to kill you, what do you think?" Lyle suppressed the restlessness, and a natural smile appeared on his stiff face, "Thinking about it, this idea It's really tempting, Scar's speed is very fast, he will rush to you in the blink of an eye and make your head move, so that you don't even have time to think about the next step, just lying on the ground, becoming the same as the one just now Mutants are the same...yes, just like the 'defect' in your mouth!"

"Oh! It's scary!" Pfister acted terrified. He raised his hands and subdued him. Although he pretended to be decent, he seemed to be a little afraid of Lyle. He said, "Don't be too impulsive, young man, I Life and death is the fuse to start the anti-matter bomb, the moment you kill me, we will be turned into dust in 'annihilation', this kind of ending. I believe you absolutely don't want to see it, right?"

"That's not necessarily true." Lyle said, "I can also let Ska beat you to death. In this case, it will be easy to control you."

"It's terrible." Pfister said so, but his disgusting smile was still on his face, "I beg you not to do this, I'm a very fragile person, and I can't stand it."

"Stop your disgusting laugh!" Lyle couldn't bear it anymore, he was still young after all, and he couldn't hold back and continued to chat with Pfister here, "I don't have time to talk to you, take me to Find my companion, or we will die here together!"

And Lyle was nervous, very, very nervous, even though he didn't show it a little bit on the surface.

In the few words he negotiated with Pfister, Lyle seemed to be very calm and calm from the beginning to the end, but in fact, his back was already soaked in his own cold sweat. Yes, Lyle is indeed very young, inexperienced and basically has little experience in negotiating with people. He can argue with Pfister here for a long time, and what he learned is what his father learned.

Genetics, it's a scary thing.

Lyle didn't believe it before, he didn't want to become a person like Rain, and he swore that he would never become a person like Rain.

But can the truth really do what he wants?

Pfister finally relented because of Lyall's utter refusal to budge.

There were Zerg hissing and howling behind Lyle, the Zerg had rushed in, and there was a fierce gunshot from the spaceship, and all the armed personnel who could deal with it passed, but they were still beaten by the Zerg. Seeing that the situation was imminent, Ster finally agreed, saying that he was willing to take Lyle to find his partner, and also agreed to find a way to save those refugees who had been experimented on.

So Lyle took Scar and left with Pfister and his group.

On the other side, Arnold, who was still guarding alone in the warehouse, was also in an extremely bad situation.

The scouting team member that Arnold saw lying in the box screaming and bleeding was already dead.

Yes, he just died. After twisting and struggling for a while, he stopped moving, bleeding from his seven orifices and remained motionless.And the howling Zerg larva that grew on his chest and abdomen stopped howling, and it seemed to be struggling to crawl out of the scout team member's body.

But it didn't have much strength, so it opened its mouth wide and started nibbling on the poor scout's corpse.

Arnold couldn't open the metal box outside, and almost watched his companion struggle for a long time inside, and finally died miserably, even the corpse was greedily eaten by the damn Zerg.

Arno had no choice but to kick the metal box a few times, the shaking of the box made the Zerg larva inside start screaming again, and this time, its screaming seemed to attract something.

Probably because the outside of the spaceship was already surrounded by Zerg, the humans inside the spaceship could only resist with difficulty, but their resistance was vulnerable to the powerful swarm of bugs, and soon more bugs slipped in, and among them One just happened to run near the warehouse where Arnold was.

Although Arnold's puppet, Siri, sealed all the entrances and exits of the warehouse, and used various traps and bombs to fill the passages, which made it impossible for outsiders to enter, but this is only for human beings. For monsters, the so-called bomb traps are just vulnerable toys.

So a Zerg came into Arnold's warehouse.

It may have heard the howling of Zerg larvae, so it came in.And when it just popped up near the doorway, Arnold already realized that something was wrong.

Realizing that something was wrong, A Nuo quickly found a hiding place. The puppeteer without a puppet by his side is quite fragile, no better than ordinary people. Before Siri came back, A Nuo could only hide as much as possible to protect himself.
