Assassin [ABO]

The Academy of Sciences is located in the southern hemisphere of Rama, surrounded by golden deserts and blue man-made oceans. It is a remote location, but it is the heart of human wisdom.As the highest scientific research institution of the Interstellar Empire, it brings together the most cutting-edge science and technology in various fields, adopts closed management, and all research projects are imperial secrets, and all staff members have strict restrictions on access.Different from the retro style of other buildings on Rama Planet, the [-]-story silver main building that pierces the sky like a saber has a cold metallic color, symbolizing the brilliance of reason.

After the aircraft of Shen Xiuyun and Lorgar arrived at the gate of the base of the Academy of Sciences, Lorgar showed the pass, the aircraft passed through the security inspection laser scanning, and Lorgar and Shen Xiuyun passed the identity verification of the genetic comparison before they were finally able to enter.

"The security check here is even stricter than that of Klaipa Palace." Shen Xiuyun said.

"It's natural." Lorgar said, "The royal family lives only in the palace. Even if there is an accident, it's just a change of surname for the royal family. But it's different here. Any scientific research in it is related to the empire. Lifeline, at that time Rama Planet was surrounded by Zerg, and even Klaipa Palace was almost fallen, but here it was not affected at all."

After the aircraft entered the base, it changed to the Academy of Sciences' own means of transportation, and sent Shen Xiuyun and Lorgar to the scientific research building. The academy sent to greet them was Dr. Lauren, who was a close friend of the fourth prince Shasar. In other words, it can be regarded as an acquaintance.

Since Professor Feige of the Imperial Military Hospital was assassinated by Shen Xiuyun, Lauren took over Feige's position and became the chief doctor of the Department of Hematology.Because the key factor for the resurrection of the Zerg this time is human blood, the field of blood research has received more and more attention in recent years. As a top talent in the field of blood medicine, Lauren was naturally selected as a researcher in the Academy of Sciences.Born in Beta, but able to gain a foothold in the talented Academy of Sciences, Lauren's talent is naturally beyond doubt.But thinking about it the other way around, with his ability, if he were an Alpha, maybe his achievements are far more than that.

"General Shen Xiuyun, His Royal Highness Lorgar." Lauren still had the expression of being indifferent to anyone, nodded slightly to the two, and led them into the building.

Shen Xiuyun has a good impression of Lauren. If it hadn't been for the expressionless doctor who injected an anesthetic into his body to let him go on purpose, he probably wouldn't be able to save Bai Mo, and without Bai Mo, he wouldn't have made the first sum. Start-up capital, there will be no later Omega planet.

Dr. Lauren led them directly to the meeting room on the top floor of the building from the direct elevator. All the researchers had been waiting for them for a long time. After seeing them coming, everyone didn't talk nonsense. All the floor-to-ceiling windows were automatically adjusted to dark colors, and the light in the meeting room was dark. Come down, and at the same time the holographic projection lights up.Shen Xiuyun and Lorgar, as military representatives, sat in the VIP seats at the front.

This meeting is mainly to report and summarize the latest research results on Zerg to Lorgar and Shen Xiuyun, hoping to let them know more about the enemy and increase their chances of winning.Although the Academy of Sciences also sent people to the parliament to make a report before, that was only superficial, and only the senior commanders like Shen Xiuyun and Lorgar, who were about to lead the corps to the battlefield, were qualified to know the real core content.

"As for the reason for the rise of the Zerg this time, we have not found a definite answer until a recent experiment, which allows us to draw a conclusion that is closer to the truth." Lauren said, tapping on the holographic screen, and the screen immediately Two genetic maps were shown, "This is the genetic map of the first generation of Zerg 200 years ago, and next to it is the genetic map of the second generation of Zerg now. It can be seen that the gap between the two is very large. From their dominant In terms of characteristics, the second-generation Zerg is qualitatively different from the first-generation Zerg, the most obvious point is the subtle relationship between them and humans."

When Lauren said this, she paused slightly, and Shen Xiuyun felt that Lauren's gaze hidden behind the lens seemed to sweep towards Lorgar.

"The primary life forms of the Zerg were born from the contact of their gene fragments with the blood of Omega, which need not be repeated. And the arrangement and combination of this gene fragment overlaps with the genetic map of the first generation of Zerg and the second generation of Zerg. , so we can be sure that the second generation of Zerg evolved from the first generation of Zerg, and there is a continuous relationship between the two. Therefore, we once speculated that this gene fragment was left by the first generation of Zerg, After being sealed for 200 years, it was rediscovered by some kind of chance, which led to the rise of the Zerg. However, recently we found that this is not the case. Because, on this genetic fragment, we found human genes. More precisely, it is Omega human genes, moreover, are the same human genes."

After Dr. Lauren finished speaking, the conference room was silent without a single sound. Shen Xiuyun sat beside Lorgar. With his keen perception as an assassin, he could clearly sense that countless eyes were projecting towards them behind him. , or in other words, it was projected towards the Seventh Prince beside him.

"So, can you be sure who this person is?" Lorgar asked, his expression and tone were very calm, so calm that even Shen Xiuyun, who knew the inside story, couldn't help admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

Lauren said: "Now we have a total of 39 super-light brain computers operating at the same time in our laboratory, just to find this person."

"All the genetic fragments of the Zerg have a human genome coded on them, what does that mean?"

"It means that the mother body of the Zerg is very likely to be a human, an Omega."

"It's incredible." Lorgar sighed softly.

Lauren still looked at Lorgar without any change in expression, and said with a serious look: "Your Highness, the Academy of Sciences has a small request for you this time."

"what?"

"After the meeting, could you please cooperate with us for another blood test?"

Lorgar raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Why?" Then he seemed to understand something suddenly, and couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you suspecting that my mother has something to do with the Zerg again? It's because of your 'speculation' The mother body of the Zerg is Omega? So you also doubt me?"

"His Royal Highness Lorgar, I believe you also understand that this battle is very important to us humans, and we must try our best to avoid any possible accidents."

"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate." Lorgar smiled.

Lauren bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, and then, as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the suddenly subtle and awkward atmosphere in the conference room, he continued: "The Zerg is a mind-sharing species. From the perspective of the first generation of Zerg, the mother body It has an influence on the consciousness and thinking of the Zerg, and can manipulate the actions of any Zerg. But this effect is not so obvious in the second generation of Zerg. At least we can be sure that some of the evolved superhuman intelligence The high-level life forms of the Zerg will no longer be controlled by the mother, at least they will not be completely controlled. They already have independent consciousness and can control certain low-level life forms. Before General Shen Xiuyun came back, Fan Si De has always been our The most advanced life form of cognition."

"What we know?" Shen Xiuyun asked this time, "That means there are other advanced life forms, right?"

Lauren has never had any ups and downs on his face, and at this time there is also a trace of uncertainty, "According to our information, it is true that we have not found any life forms higher than Vansted, but according to the image analysis transmitted by the detection satellite, the Zerg is now The signs of their activities show that their organization and discipline are getting higher and higher. Such a high-scale organization is absolutely impossible without the manipulation of advanced life forms. What disturbs us is that these advanced life forms They have never been seen, they seem to know how to hide themselves, and since our army left the wormhole, they have never launched any action."

"In other words, they are likely to wait for an opportunity, deliberately hide their strength, and want to catch us off guard?"

"Yes, so this battle may be extremely dangerous, General Shen Xiuyun."

Shen Xiuyun's eyes darkened a little, and a name suddenly flashed in his mind.Turning to look at Lorgar, he also frowned slightly.

"In addition to the above two points, the last item of our meeting report today was briefly mentioned in the parliament before, that the mother body of the Zerg is in a period of weakening, and what was not explained in the parliament is that we found that the mother body of the Zerg is not the only one. That is to say, they are looking for a second-generation mother body to replace the current mother body that is about to decline, and according to the research on the current mother body, we have reason to suspect that this second-generation mother body is likely to be a human being, and an Omega at that. "

Hearing this, Shen Xiuyun's body froze imperceptibly.

Only he knows that all the inferences of the Academy of Sciences today are exactly the same as what Van Stern told him in the wormhole at that time.

So who is the second-generation mother of the Zerg, the answer seems to be beyond doubt.

"Well, today's report is the above content. I hope it will be helpful to His Royal Highness Seventh Prince and General Shen Xiuyun. If the army has any technical needs, we are willing to provide assistance with all our strength. There are still two weeks to prepare. I hope our army will You can be prepared." Lauren finished the report, turned off the holographic projection, the glass windows became transparent again, and the conference room lit up.

At this time, a few armed people had already walked to Lorgar's side. Shen Xiuyun realized at this moment that the scientific research meeting report might be just an excuse, and the real purpose of the Academy of Sciences was to get Lorgar to cooperate with the experiment.But judging from Lorgar's expression, he didn't seem surprised by this, and stood up calmly, ready to go with those people.

"Xiuyun, I have to ask you to wait for me a little longer." Luo Jia whispered to Shen Xiuyun when he got up.

Wearing a special isolation suit and wearing a laser gun, the Alpha researcher took a look at Lorgar, and said, "General Shen Xiuyun, if you don't mind, please cooperate with us to do a blood test experiment."

The meekness Lorgar had always maintained disappeared instantly when he heard these words, and a cold and dangerous aura suddenly erupted from his whole body.

"What did you say? Say it again."

The researcher who spoke seemed to be taken aback by Lorgar's aura, and his voice lacked confidence, "We, we want General Shen Xiuyun to cooperate with a blood experiment."

Lorgar took a step forward slowly, and the researcher backed away in fright. Several researchers next to him had already taken action, covering their hands with laser guns, and it seemed that they would all rush forward to subdue Lorgar in the next second.At this moment, Shen Xiuyun stood up, took a step forward with cold eyes, stood in front of Lorja, and said, "Okay, I am willing to cooperate with you."
