Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Observe indoors.

Wearing the same black shirt and knee-length skirt, the red queen and white queen stood patiently in front of the hatch of the observation room.

And Rebecca and Alexia, who seemed to be always dressed in white coats, stood beside Sui Bian in formal attire.

At this moment, on the large holographic screen in front of them, Constantine continued to sweep away the aliens with his bare hands, and the upper left corner of the screen displayed "2126 / 04 / 14 / NRC10:22 (NRC, New Raccoon City New Raccoon City time) "The words.

In this way, Rebecca born in 1980 and Alexia born in 1971 should be "old ladies" aged 146 and 155, but instead of being "old and decrepit", they are still in their early twenties look like.

After all, Umbrella's nanotechnology has long been proficient. In addition, four years ago, Umbrella obtained the biotechnology mastered by the manager from the memory storage body named Merck's Sad and Silent Grand Plan, which greatly increased the lifespan of human beings. Ascension, up to now, there are very few cases of natural death.

With the blessings of various technologies, as well as the delaying potion of the Blood Manhua, Rebecca's appearance and figure are almost the same as when she was recruited to Umbrella by Sui Bian just now, except that she is more mature.

As for Alexia, who has been perfectly integrated with the T Veronica virus, her body is not in the category of ordinary people at all. In theory, she can obtain "longevity" without any technology or medicine.

And finally Constantine.

The real identity of this "Astarte" is the commander-in-chief of the guards of Sui Bian, and the total number of guards in command has reached 6,000.

Although Constantine is one of the strongest fighters outside the original body, his height and physique should not be the same. "Chemical surgery.

An Astartes goes through three stages before reaching adulthood.

In the first stage, Umbrella selects the best adaptors among the hundreds of millions of 14 to 16-year-olds, and then these adaptors will be implanted into the G glands of each legion .

In the second stage, the fitters will undergo the most rigorous and cruel training, and at the same time need to receive the most comprehensive cultural education, and receive regular injections of super serum to "strengthen their bodies."

The third stage is a 14-day period of 25 transformation surgeries to completely transform the adaptor into a real Astarte, and after that, it is the familiar recruit trial link.

On the other hand, Constantine's "Guard" is based on the adult Astartes, and four additional procedures are added, namely "nano glands", "tendon coils", "tungsten steel bones" and " Black carapace".

"Nano glands" are cultivated based on the manager's nanotechnology and Umbrella's biotechnology, just like "factory" glandular tissue.

When the guarded Astartes eat normally, or in an emergency, swallow all kinds of "coarse grains", especially metals, the gland will automatically produce nano-robots, and store the surplus robots Into the gland, it greatly improves the "excretion" ability, self-healing ability and defense ability of Astartes.

That's why when the alien's strong acid blood splashed on Constantine's body, it only caused the skin to be reddish.

"Tendon Coil", a metal coil named "Ares" by Alexia is implanted in the tendon of the guarded Astartes, enabling it to contract with incredible strength , to amplify the power to a level beyond the reach of ordinary space fighters.

"Tungsten steel bone", as the name suggests, is a layer of tungsten steel that wraps the bone. In this way, words such as bone fracture, bone fracture, and bone fragmentation will basically not be used on the guarded Astartes.

And the "black carapace", when cultivated in the culture tank, looks like a black plastic film, and when it "matures", it will be cut into several pieces and directly implanted under the skin of the guarded Astartes' torso .

Within a few hours after the implantation is completed, the black carapace tissue will grow rapidly and "spread" the nerve bundles, and after two months of "maturity", it can be connected to the exclusive power armor, or "biological exoskeleton". ", to achieve the true sense of "humanity and unity".

The "slots" in Constantine's skin are the external access points for the black carapace.

However, the operation risk of tungsten steel bone is extremely high, and the nano gland will produce extremely strong rejection reaction, so it needs to be "tailor-made" and the procedure is complicated.

Therefore, the operation cost of guarding is also extremely high, and Rebecca and Alexia are required to personally take care of each guard undergoing surgery. However, if all 6,000 guards complete guarding, then they will It is an existence between the Primarch and the Astartes.

Although facing the Primarch is still the result of being defeated in seconds, but facing the Astartes, they can easily fight against ten or a hundred enemies. Of course, with Sui Bian around, there is absolutely no possibility that the guards will fight against the Astartes. It's just that the Astartes are most suitable for "units of measurement" at this moment.

The time required to complete the four operations depends on the individual. For example, it took Constantine a full forty-two days, and after the operation, Constantine also ushered in a "secondary development", which made it difficult to observe from the outside , you can distinguish him from ordinary Astartes.

Return to the present.

"That's good." After listening to the reports of the two top researchers, Sui Bian nodded, and ordered: "The rest of the children (Jinwei) will be left to you two to take care of."

"Don't worry." Alexia readily agreed.

"Hmm." Rebecca echoed softly.

"Konstantin will stay here to assist you, let's go first." After Sui Bian finished speaking, he turned and left the observation room, followed by the two secretaries.

After the automatic door opened and closed, there were only two researchers left in the observation room.

Rebecca turned her head and stared at the closed automatic door, while Alexia just glanced at her friend and colleague beside her, and then operated the holographic panel to stop continuing to "transport" the alien into the test field, and turned on the radio , said to Constantine:

"Okay kid, come out after you get rid of the last few cuties in front of you."

"Good doctor," Constantine responded.

On the holographic screen, the commander-in-chief of the guard quickly "teared" the last few aliens according to what Alexia said, and then hurried to the exit gate of the proving ground.

Seeing this, Alexia dissipated the holographic screen, turned around, and found that Rebecca was still a little dazed, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling, and raised her hand to pat the back of Rebecca's neck, saying:

"Hey, don't just stand there, it's time to work."

"Huh? Well, okay, let's go."

Rebecca, who had regained her composure, nodded, and left the observation room with Alexia, walking through the typical Umbrella-style corridor with white, reflective floor tiles.

"Oh." Rebecca asked suddenly: "You said, when will the cause of "for mankind" be considered complete?"

?

Alexia glanced at Rebecca from the corner of her eye. She shrugged her shoulders after a little thought, raised her hands and picked up her high ponytail, and replied seemingly casually: "When the universe collapses, or When it’s heat death, it’s almost the same.”

"Is it the end of the world?" Rebecca looked much more lonely.

"Why..." Seeing his friend's expression, Alexia suddenly became interested, as if seeing through Rebecca's thoughts, he joked with a smile: """You woman, you look shy on the surface, but you are actually coquettish Ah, hahaha... It's okay, don't worry, the end of the world should not be needed, I think, the moment when human beings become the masters of the galaxy is almost there.

Alright, let's focus on the children's surgery first, and don't worry about what's there or what's not. "

"Indeed." Rebecca forced a smile. As for Alexia's teasing, she has long been used to it, besides...

Alexia was right.

Not long after, the two of them came to the maintenance hall outside the test field, and Constantine, who also came here, was raising his arms, accepting the technicians to take off the clothes and protective gear corroded by strong acid, and also accepting the technicians check.

at the same time.

Located "above", about 200 meters away from the "surface" of the proving ground, is located Umbrella's new headquarters building, as well as a giant city no less in size than Raccoon City, or any colonial metropolitan area.

In addition, directly "above" this city is an artificial star that provides illumination, and the sights of lakes, oceans, forests, and other towns on the other side of the artificial star show that this is Robert, Leon and other Primarchs from Green The inside of the shield world that was robbed from the skin orcs and given to their father.

The city where Umbrella's headquarters building is located is the "New Raccoon City" with 160 million people, and it is also the core of Umbrella, UEG, and UNSC.

As for the shield world, which is numbered "003" by the manager, it has been named "Shield of Terra" by Sui Bian. million people live.

Among the 2.6 billion people, there are Umbrella's employees and their family members, as well as UEG officials responsible for managing people's livelihood, as well as UNSC generals and soldiers stationed here.

The most important part of all defensive forces is actually the more than 6,000 guards who stayed on the Shield of Terra together with Sui Bian. With them, and with the defensive/offensive weapons of the shield world, there is no need to worry about anything Alien forces, known or unknown.

But in the next few months, or even a year, the guards will have to undergo exclusive operations one after another, and will not be able to concentrate on defensive work. Therefore, the guard force around Sui Bian will drop to the lowest point in history.

Leon is far away as the governor of the temple star area, and the guards need to "relieve with peace of mind". However, even if there is no one around, it seems to have no effect on Sui Bian. It is not so much the guards who protect his safety, but It is better to say that he protects the safety of these children.

After all, Sui Bian can destroy a planet just by moving his fingers. Of course, Sui Bian is very good at controlling the range of power, otherwise there would be various accidents...

It is all kinds of accidents, including trivial aspects of life.

At this moment, a Stealth-class battleship that removed the optical camouflage effect and spread its wings entered the core world through the gate of the North Pole, and rushed straight to Umbrella's exclusive starport in New Raccoon City.

And this side of the headquarters building.

Sui Bian and the two secretaries had just walked into the office on the top floor. He handed the coat that he had taken off to Queen Bai, and walked towards the desk. At the same time, he unbuttoned his sleeves and was about to roll up the sleeves.

"Director." The Red Queen reported to him: "The Primarch Russ has destroyed the main fleet of the Marauder civilization. At present, the Space Wolves Legion is conducting the final "cleaning" work to ensure that all brain beasts are wiped out."

Listening to the Queen's report, Sui Bian sat behind the desk and called up relevant video materials to watch.

The screen displayed a diameter of 270 kilometers, with guns of different calibers all over the outside, and the home world of the Space Wolves with various facilities. Using the beam matrix "inherited" from the administrator's civilization, with absolute firepower, Almost in the blink of an eye, it destroyed the large, disgusting and bloated predator fleet in the starry space.

The high-energy light beam twists, bends, sweeps across, or splits vertically, cutting and burning all the "living" warships it touches.

More than a hundred years ago, humans only had three Goshawks, and they dared to fight against the scout fleet of the predator civilization, and killed the brain beasts to win. Now there are countless human warships, not to mention that the predator army is "unfortunate" Meet the home world of the Space Wolves.

There was a moment of silence.

"There may be unknown wandering fleets outside the territory, tell Russ, don't let him relax his vigilance."

"yes."

After Sui Bian reminded Honghou, he continued to focus on the desktop screen, browsing recent files and whether there were any documents that needed to be signed.

The Greenskin Empire was fourteen years ago. Today, the territory of mankind remains unchanged, but because of the large population base, the total population has reached 690.2 billion. In less than a year, the total population will exceed 7,000 100 million, but this number is still "sparse" compared with the human territory.

In terms of military power, the home worlds prepared for each Primarch were completed in 2124. As for the home world originally prepared for him, it was scrapped, and Ferrus, who was in charge of the construction, had already dismantled it.

In the past 14 years, Umbrella is also learning the halo technology through the memory storage body. It is believed that within 40 to 50 years, human beings will have the power to "dominate" the survival of a race at will.

"Shua~."

Hearing the sudden opening and closing of the automatic door, Sui Bian just raised his head, and saw Artemis in a white dress, with loose waist-length hair and an olive branch crown, walking to the desk. Supporting the table with both hands, leaned over slightly, showing the most perfect posture, and asked with a mocking smile:

"Boss, is there anything important to discuss about asking me to return to the solar system?"

"..." Sui Bian first looked away, got up and walked towards the automatic door, and then responded: "Follow me."

"Okay." Artemis followed behind Sui Bian.

After leaving the office, she and Sui Bian walked through the corridor covered with noise-reducing carpets, and came to a "collection room" at the end.

As the lights turned on one by one, a dazzling array of "collections" appeared in front of Artemis' eyes, including those representing the sky, thunder and lightning, and her father Zeus—

thunder.
