Technological Hegemony

After learning that the test results of the Crow alloy had been freshly released, Luo Jia came to the Materials Research Institute, the third synthetic metal laboratory, very excitedly.

As one of the largest departments of the company, there are hundreds of laboratories under the Materials Research Institute. Right now, this one is dedicated to high-risk experiments, such as studying the pressure-resistant shell of fusion nuclear bombs, the expansion chamber of the jump engine, etc. .

Luo Jia walked into it, and saw that the place was already full of large pieces of Crowe alloy, each piece of Crore alloy was exactly one cubic meter in size, and was in a square shape, and Shen Lang led a group of researchers, who were busy busy.

Originally, according to the habit of men in science and engineering, they would throw test materials everywhere. However, the times have changed. The robot assistants are like a group of clean-loving Virgos. They take care of everything in an orderly manner. There is even a faint scent of air freshener floating in the air.

"What was the result?" Luo Jia asked curiously.

"Teacher, we have found the original element!" Shen Lang raised his head, he was so calm, he was rarely so excited, his eyes sparkled and said: "This one, this one, and this one, all of these!"

"It's amazing, these Kro alloy nuggets seem to be alive, breathing rhythmically!"

Metal breathes?

Luo Jia was taken aback suddenly, and his expression became serious.

Shen Lang explained: "After testing, we found a total of seventy-six pieces of Crow alloy that are suspected of hiding the original elements. Next, if the teacher approves, we will immediately dissect these suspicious alloys."

Luo Jia nodded slightly while listening to Shen Lang's report.

The starship of the Ice Fang Civilization carried a special instrument, the Eagle Eye detector, which was specially used to find the original elements. The analysis and search work was done on the Eagle Eye machine.

"Teacher, look, this is the phenomenon of elemental life observed by the eagle-eye detector. Through the observation of the eagle-eye, a part of the Crow alloy shows the characteristics of elemental movement."

Shen Lang said while playing the video to Luo Jia. Under the Hawkeye system, there seemed to be some kind of undercurrent surging inside the boxy metal block.

"Why is this..." Luo Jia frowned and said to herself.

Shen Lang said: "According to Hassan, the leader of the Ice Fang Civilization Team, the Eagle Eye system can peek into the essence of matter, but unfortunately no one knows the exact principle, because the Eagle Eye is an existence beyond science, the power of the origin of life."

"Origin of life? Spores!?" Luo Jia couldn't help blurting out after listening.

According to the ancient records of plant civilization,

All human beings originate from a kind of spore that pervades the universe. For countless epochs, the spores have been floating in the dark and vast universe. Whichever planet they float to, they will bring life and civilization to that planet.

So in the universe, there is a very interesting phenomenon. Although the distance is far away, the species on each planet are not much different. Humans have two eyes and one mouth. At most, there are differences in details such as height and skin color.

"Is the teacher talking about spore civilization?" Shen Lang scratched his head and said, "I heard that spore civilization is good at bacterial weapons and creates various diseases and viruses. If I were to choose the existence that I least want to go to war, spore civilization would definitely be among them. "

Luo Jia didn't say anything. Shen Lang obviously misunderstood. Although they are both called spores, spore civilization and spores of biological origin are not the same thing. The former is a star-level civilization and is good at microbial technology, while the latter contains The secret of the origin of all life.

"The mystery will be revealed one day, don't worry about it, just try to cut the Kro alloy containing the first element." Luo Jia looked at Shen Lang and said, "About this project, what does Hassan say?"

Shen Lang shook his head, "We conducted several rounds of interrogation on the four captives of the Bingya Civilization. We can basically confirm that they were only ordered to find the original element, but they didn't know more secrets."

"On whose order?" asked Rodya again.

"The Pope of Ice Fang Civilization, code-named Saint of Ice." Shen Lang was quite speechless: "I didn't expect such a developed Ice Fang civilization to still believe in God, but it has been an era and a half. That Saint of Ice, He should have died by now."

Luo Jia said with emotion: "Regardless of the earth or the stars, there are still a lot of people who believe in gods. We who don't believe in gods and only believe in the existence of ancestors and collective power are the real outliers."

The hardness of the Crowe alloy is not high, similar to ordinary steel, but for the sake of caution, Shen Lang did not use a laser cutter, but used a physical cutting method to cut the Crore alloy block bit by bit on a large milling machine.

With the sharp metal cutting sound from the super-strength knife head, Luo Jia suddenly found the figure of No. 7, a mouse who had suffered severe psychological trauma, and had been following Luo Jia from a distance, keeping a close distance.

But today was different, he approached Luo Jia on his own initiative, lying on the corner of the wall less than half a meter away from Luo Jia, staring at the Xingchen Heavy Industry 173X automatic milling machine in the distance with burning eyes.

Huh?

Luo Jia exclaimed in his heart, he felt that No. 7's behavior today was a bit abnormal, so he said to Shen Lang and others beside him: "We will see the outcome soon, let's keep a little distance, just in case."

Shen Lang and the others nodded, followed Luo Jiayou and retreated about two meters.

The task of cutting the Crow alloy block was naturally completed by robots. Four medium-sized general-purpose robots, Star Spirits, and four metallurgical robots, Star Founders, were standing next to the machine tool, constantly scanning with electronic eyes.

suddenly~

With a crisp sound, the square clo alloy block broke from the middle, and then a golden light rose into the air. The retinal glasses worn by Luo Jia immediately tracked it and found that it was a golden water drop.

"Liquid metal! The original element in the legend turned out to be a kind of liquid metal!?" Luo Jia couldn't help but blurt out, things happened too fast, he could only judge based on the current situation.

Cloro alloy should be some kind of substance that can imprison the original elements. Once the confinement is broken, the original elements sealed in it will break the cage and return to the world.

bang bang bang~

Before there was any reaction, the drop of golden liquid metal burst out like an unloaded bullet, breaking through the remaining seventy-five pieces of Crow alloy continuously at a speed that could catch light.

Every piece of Crow alloy is a cage of the original elements. Now that the cages are all broken, in the third synthetic metal laboratory, seventy-six drops of golden liquid rose into the sky in an instant, shining with dazzling light.

"Teacher be careful!"

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late. After all the initial elements gathered, they exerted their strength together and rushed towards the crowd, as if they wanted to kill the humans on the scene.

Regardless of his own safety, Shen Lang exerted strength on his legs, jumped forward, and blocked Luo Jia's front with his body. He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, as if he had already realized that he must die.

The military strategizing ability reminded Shen Lang that the priority of protecting the teacher was higher than protecting himself. After all, for the Earth Fleet, the commander can be changed, but Luo Jia only has one, so he made his own choice instinctively.

This scene greatly shocked Luo Jia. After all, in essence, he is an ordinary science and engineering nerd. It was a coincidence that he inherited the golden dome. At this moment, his life is hanging by a thread. It is a normal human reaction to have weak legs.

Seeing the initial element rushing in, about to hit Luo Jia and Shen Lang, everyone in this laboratory was on the verge of death, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Ka Ka Ka ~

Accompanied by wonderful mechanical noises, the silver gleaming figures suddenly leaped high, forming an insurmountable steel Great Wall with their bodies equipped with tri-titanium alloy decks!

It's the mechanical army!

One, two, three, four!

In an instant, the Mechanical Legion was born! Make every effort to turn the tide!

The eight robots in the laboratory acted as the first line of defense, while more robots rushed all the way from outside the laboratory. They smashed the tempered glass curtain wall with their fists, smashed open the airtight doors at the front and rear of the laboratory with their bodies, and then desperately guarded the laboratory. The human beings around him have no hesitation and no fear.

Everyone was so shocked that they suddenly remembered Luo Jia's words, "We human beings are too weak. In the future, we must rely on three magic weapons to travel through the stars. They are ruthless enough, loyal enough, and have many friends. From now on, the mechanical army is what we can trust. friend."

Now it seems that the mechanical legion is not a friend of human beings, they are brothers of human beings who are loyal to each other!

When danger occurs, they rush forward frantically and use their bodies to form the first line of defense to protect human beings!

"Hold on, they're getting weaker!" Luo Jia shouted to cheer everyone up.

Through the retinal projection glasses, Luo Jia saw that the energy index of the liquid metal was decreasing, which may be the reason for breaking away from the closed environment surrounded by Cloro alloy, or it may be the consumption of life itself. The energy dropped significantly, and even the light became dim.

"Hold on! They're about to be overwhelmed!" Luo Jia yelled loudly. The constant weakening of the opponent's energy index gave Luo Jia more confidence.

It's a pity that Luo Jia didn't have time to be happy, and at this time the mutation happened again!

Seventy-six drops of liquid metal suddenly gathered together to form a larger body, and the speed and energy index were also enhanced dozens of times in an instant.

Shua~

The initial element, like a golden ping pong ball, pulled out an arc in the air, breaking through the defense line of the mechanical army at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, its speed has already exceeded the physical limit of the 600 kilowatt ultrasonic motor, so even the loyal mechanical army can't do anything about it.

If a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will clog his teeth. He never expected that when the elements crossed the defense line of the mechanical army, Luo Jia was the first to face.

nostrils, mouth, ears, eyes...

The initial element was like a golden water polo, and when it was slapped on Luo Jia's face, it hurt his face, which reminded him of the time when he skipped class to go to an Internet cafe, was caught by Comrade Luo Ning, and was brutally beaten. According to Comrade Luo Ning's later memories, He actually hurt more than Luo Jia, Luo Jia hurt on the face, Comrade Luo Ning hurt in the heart.

"Is it over?"

"It's a pity, after all, I still can't let my mother hug her grandson..."

The scorching liquid poured into Luo Jia's body crazily, and penetrated into his nose and throat. Luo Jia felt that he was going to die. Although the golden dome had quietly transformed his physique, it might not be able to resist the attack of the original element.

suddenly~

Luo Jia, who was in despair, felt a tingling pain from his palm, so he glanced quietly out of the corner of his eye, and then his lungs were about to explode.

okay.

No. 7, who had followed him for so long, took advantage of the fire to rob. When the first element wanted to occupy Luo Jia's body, this guy bit his left hand so hard that he bled.

"You damn rat! You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!" Luo Jia thought with grief and indignation before she fell into a coma.

Puff~
