"Gene tax", the only tax under the rule of the Father of All Machines, and "gene welfare", one of the few obligations of the protector of civilization, are both fulfilled with the carrier of "baby". The gene bank defense force will randomly collect healthy babies from various settlements in the world, mark them and transport them uniformly, then compile the data and conduct research. This huge task is also shared by dozens of scientific research knights.

These scientific research knights all have one characteristic in common. Their predecessors were all research institutions, project teams, etc. of Superman Enterprises.

Among them, Soul of Light, Blessing of Blood and Furnace of Life are the three more prominent ones. It is said that the research institutions that were the predecessors of these three knights were all geniuses recruited by Wuzu himself. In the era when human beings are shifting from "Homo sapiens" to "Homo sapiens", these three research institutions have made great efforts.

The "Forge of Life" has been responsible for the research on the development of standardized procedures and cost reduction for genetic modification surgeries in the past.

"Blood Blessing" explores more possibilities of genetic modification surgery.

This rich history continues to the present.

However, the reputation of the "Blood Blessing" Knights has become quite terrifying now. The current research areas of this knights include "the development of genetic modification surgery", "tracing the human gene pool", and "organizing all technologies related to genetic modification surgery". This scientific research knights will even take the initiative to go deep into the asteroid belt area or the surface of Venus to hunt down knights as research materials.

For other scientific research knights, "martial arts cultivation" is just an unimportant bonus. But in "Blood Blessing", the level of martial arts is directly related to the success rate and survival rate of "field research", and it can be regarded as a semi-hard indicator - unless the academic level is so good that you can get ahead without doing field research at all.

Logically speaking, this kind of knights should be Wuzu's primary target. This group's research level and completeness of data on genetic modification surgery should be the best in the solar system. But there are two regrets. First of all, this group is really hard. Second, the fiefdom of their knights is not on earth. They only have a temporary station on Earth. They occasionally come to investigate the phenomenon of horizontal gene movement within the Earth Knights (in layman terms, it means understanding which genetic modification surgeries are common among the Knights and what gene fragments are used). They also need to go to other groups. Pending order.

The station of the Knights of the Living Forge is located on the edge of the ground portion of the space elevator. This is the most convenient place to transport babies. Babies in shallow hibernation will be put into basic containers and transported directly here. After the basic sampling is completed, the data will be uploaded, summarized, and then distributed according to certain standards. In this way, the genes will be artificially increased. Mobility in human groups.

"...and now, I still can't determine the reason why Yawgmoth did this." Nyagudi said, "I don't have the conditions to collect genetic samples on a large scale and analyze them, so I don't even know what he wants. To strengthen the genetic backdoor, we still want to remove the genetic backdoor.”

"It doesn't mean much. No matter what it is, it can't change the fact that he is essentially a bastard." Xiang Shan looked at the base, "Speaking of which, you must have been thinking about this knighthood for a long time."

This is an underground base, very close to the headquarters of the Knights of the Furnace.

With the transport power that the knights can control, it is not easy to build a permanent base. The existence of the global satellite monitoring system makes it difficult for the knights to transport supplies.

The underground base in front of Xiangshan is very complete. Although the inner wall is not strong and the internal space is relatively scattered, it is large enough and has complete material reserves. It is enough for several warriors who have crossed the first level of heaven and earth to prepare here.

There are even reserves of fusion fuel here, as well as lots of ammunition. Small missiles use chemical fuel that protrudes from a large tube.

"I have been thinking about it for about forty years," Niyaguti said. "When I realized that 'genetic modification surgery has become a shortcoming of knights,' I wanted to go to 'academic exchanges.' But the defense force in this place It's too strong. There are at least four recorded first-level warriors alone - none of these four warriors have entered the sequence of the gene bank's defense arm, but are the plural of scientific research knights. There are three gene bank protection arm. First-level heaven warriors are permanently stationed here. At the same time, every time a hibernating baby is sent over, there will be at least two senior military attachés to escort him. Therefore, there are nine first-level heaven warriors here most of the time. The permanent force is about 10,000 people. And it is only eight kilometers away from the space elevator. If we call the space elevator to escort the air force, it will only take a few minutes."

"Um."

"You are really calm." Niyagudi sighed, "You are going to investigate next, so you won't be nervous with this weapon?"

Both Xiangshan and Niyaguti replaced their first-level prosthetic bodies and reactivated ordinary prosthetics equipped with nuclear batteries.

This prosthetic body really reflects the designer's skill. It really packs the highest possible configuration into the smallest volume.

Niyaguti waved her arms and switched several postures. Xiangshan, on the other hand, jumped slightly with his feet and shook his hands to get used to this new body.

Nia Guti glanced at Xiang Shan: "It seems that you are still used to this kind of... changing your body."

"Strictly speaking, 'this me' spends far more time using conventional prosthetics than using first-level prosthetics."

"Once many warriors get used to powerful prosthetic bodies, they are no longer willing to use weak prosthetic bodies. Going from a powerful prosthetic body to a weak prosthetic body will bring them a huge sense of loss, accompanied by a huge uneasiness. It seems that Without such powerful power, life safety cannot be guaranteed." Niyaguti shook one hand and gestured randomly, "You have adapted very well."

"Maybe it's because I still retain some memories of being a Homo sapiens. I know what it feels like to be a Homo sapiens." Xiang Shan spread his hands, then put on a sand-like camouflage net and left from an exit.

The first thing that comes into view is a piece of yellow sand. After the billowing dust passed, Xiangshan saw the huge building in the distance.

That is the space elevator.

The foundation of the space elevator is a huge ring-shaped structure with a diameter of five kilometers. Several giant buildings with an altitude of over 10,000 meters are located around this giant structure. Inside every building here, there are giant cataclysmic reactors supplying energy. Countless cables hung from the sky. These cables are made of single-crystal carbon fiber and are far heavier than steel. Huge cars like old residential buildings moved up and down on the elevator - but at this distance, they were just like dewdrops on plant roots.

This structure is too huge. Even though it was miles away, it still felt unreal. The black, jungle-like cables look like "texture errors" in the real world from a distance.

The black cables seemed to merge into one stream in the sky, then quickly became thinner and gradually lost in the blue sky.

Outside this huge ring are massive garrisons and numerous containers.

Those containers are dispatched quickly, some are sent to the elevator, and some are sent to various places. This scene even gave Xiangshan the illusion of a prosperous commercial port in the early 21st century.

Its throughput is more terrifying than any seaport in the old days.

Xiang Shan marveled: "If David saw it...if David three hundred years ago saw it, he might cry."

"It's true. It was the address you chose more than three hundred years ago." Niyaguti looked to the other side, "I really hope you left some backdoor."

"Don't say I don't remember. Even if I remember, that old dog Hartman will probably replace the entire intelligent system." Xiang Shan took a few more glances: "This number of troops is far more than a city. It can chew it. ?Can you hold it?"

"It would actually be good if Hartman blew up the elevator himself. Then the Patron's control over the earth would be greatly reduced, and the knights could come out to cause trouble openly. But they had eaten it on Venus more than a hundred years ago A similar loss.”

"Do we have a backup plan for blowing up this elevator?"

"Yes, there is." Niyaguti said in a complicated tone, "But at this stage, I don't think it should be bombed. The knight must maintain a great cause, the great cause of liberating all mankind. In this case, the idea of ​​'partial peace' will shake this The meaning of a flag."

"Tsk, tsk, what a reasonable judgment. Your own judgment? Or who said it?"

Niya Gudi looked at Xiang Shan, her demeanor was a bit strange.

So, Xiangshan understood: "Okay, which one is me?"

"The Sixth Martial God..." Niyagudi seemed to be choked, "How come you can ask such a weird question like 'who am I' so calmly?"

"When you know that you have been resurrected at least ten times, and you have been a hero every time, you should get used to it." Xiang Shan added, "Although there are a small number of scum, don't use individual cases to represent the group."

Finally, Xiang Shan said again: "So you did chivalry with the Sixth Martial God?"

"It's a thing of the past." Niaguti pointed to the other side: "That is our goal this time."

Is that one...or two buildings? The two buildings are intertwined in a double helix structure. Even at the technological level of this era, this structure still tests material science. Xiangshan could even see the giant steel cables extending from the ground to the corridor.

This kind of reinforcement method, which I don't know whether it is primitive or not, really opened Xiang Shan's eyes.

"Wouldn't this reinforcement add extra weight? How on earth is this building supported?"

"Uh... It is said that there is a design that fills hydrogen bladders in specific areas to share the weight."

Xiang Shan stroked his chin: "Then, the last question."

"What?"

"I actually have no memory of this." Xiang Shan fell into deep thought, "Tsk, tsk, did the memory deleted by the Holy Lord include this knighthood?"

"It's over, it must be all Six Dragon Sect."

Xiang Shan paused: "No, I should say..."

"Okay, it's full of Six Dragon Cults!"
