Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 325 The Birth of EVA

"So what happened?" Zero picked up the bone china cup with both hands and took a sip.

"We were in the deep ocean and heard the signal of a heartbeat."

"The Greenland Sea is home to large creatures such as beluga whales and tiger sharks, and it's not surprising that there is a heartbeat."

"Yes, at first we didn't think there was anything unusual about it. We salvaged some ancient bronze fragments at the coordinates designated by the 'Prince' according to the original plan, engraved with ancient and complicated characters, and the secrets of the academy. The 'Ice Sea Copper Pillar Table' in the collection is exactly the same."

"Ice sea remnants?"

"No, the Ice Sea Fragment is a document recorded by humans, which contains human records and imaginations about dragons, and the Ice Sea Copper Pillar Table was built by dragons. The ancient objects that have been handed down from the Dragon Era to the present once stood in the cities built by dragons. Dragons are accustomed to using pillars to record history. In the center of the city is a giant pillar that stands up to the sky. part of it, presumably less than one-third of its original length."

"We pretended to be an ancient text research institution. When we arrived in the Greenland Sea, the 'Prince' generously shared with us the news he had received and the latest fragments that were salvaged. We have been trying to find the possible existence of the Ice Sea Copper Pillar Table , but that strong heartbeat signal has attracted our attention, because its location has not changed in several months, and every day we use sonar exploration, it will appear on the radar on time."

"That might be a sleeping turtle."

"That hypothesis was put forward, but it was disproved because if it was a giant sea turtle of unknown species, in a dormant state, its heartbeat shouldn't be that strong, and it couldn't be a whale or a shark, a large aquatic animal. It needs to hunt around to maintain the most basic energy of life."

Fingel turned his head, "You are very smart, combined with the fact that the academy sealed this incident as an SS-level secret, you should be able to guess what it is."

"That's a dragon embryo that is hatching." After thinking for a moment, Zero said: "The seabed is its burial place. It has gone through death and cocooning and then re-formed into an embryo. It is undergoing a long incubation .”

"Exactly." Fingel clapped his hands, "Mixed races have never lacked smart people, so someone soon put forward this hypothesis, hiding at the bottom of the sea, at least one pure-blooded dragon with blood within three generations , This is an irresistible temptation for the academy, because for so many years, the only dragon embryo captured by the secret party alive is a weak dragon with a lineage beyond three generations, and its lineage is already very weak, weak It can be shown to every freshman who enters Kassel College without fear of any danger it will create."

"'Sleeping Red Dragon Prince'?" When Zero was enrolled, Professor Toyama Masashi showed her the glass jar soaked in antiseptic liquid.

This is already a reserved item of Kassel. Freshmen who are not born in mixed-race families will have the opportunity to have close contact with the red dragon embryo. The academy uses this to convince the freshmen that dragons really exist.

It has a unique name in the forum, "The Sleeping Red Dragon Prince", because someone used this as a template to serialize romance stories in the forum. In the story, it is set that the prince is actually a cursed prince who needs to be kissed by true love. In order to wake up and regain the prince, this story is full of patchwork traces, combining many famous fairy tales such as the Frog Prince, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, etc., tells the story of a girl named Cassandina The forbidden love between the freshman Kassel girl and the Red Dragon Prince.

Zero has been updated to the latest chapter, and I also rewarded the author with $10 to remind me to update. Although the story is very bloody, it is not bad for spending time.

"You also know the 'Sleeping Red Dragon Prince'?" Fingel became interested in this.

"Do you read romance novels?"

"No, I don't read it, but I am the author of 'The Sleeping Red Dragon Prince'." Fingel patted his chest.

Zero was silent for a short while, then took out his phone and deleted the book from his bookshelf.

"The finale is coming soon, don't you want to know whether Cassantina will choose to elope with the Red Dragon Prince, or accept the confession of the Flame Dragon Slayer!"

"I don't want to." Zero permanently added the author "The Balrog Poet" to his blacklist.

"Well, let's not discuss this topic for now." Fingel said helplessly: "But the reason why the 'Red Dragon Prince' has such a high reputation among students is because the college can only take out this only one As for the dragon embryo, it is conceivable that a dragon embryo of the third generation, maybe even the second generation, or the first generation, will be so attractive to the academy."

"So you dived?"

"The safest way is of course to use underwater unmanned robots or remote-controlled submarines. It is said that during the hatching process, ancient dragons will expand a certain field to protect themselves, and those who step into the field will have fatal hallucinations. If it is really For the embryo of an ancient dragon, reckless diving will be a very dangerous behavior."

"There is a problem with the robot, you have to send a commissioner to dive?" Zero thought that if things go as planned, the Greenland incident will not become a secret. There must be some kind of major change that led to tragic results. .

"You guessed it, we sent underwater robots, but whenever the robots approached that piece of seabed, they lost control. We recovered the underwater robots and found that their circuits burned out inexplicably. This is why the things on the seabed are An embryo of a dragon adds to the evidence, because biologically hallucinations come down to stimulation of the cortex, which is most easily stimulated by electrical currents."

"There are six people in the dive team, including me." Fingel lifted the hair on his forehead, revealing a hideous scar that had never been shown to outsiders. The wound extended from his hairline. , can see the old wounds hidden in his thick iron-gray hair, "I was the only one who came back alive out of the six people, the professor who participated in the rescue, one who was disabled for life, one who stayed in hell at the bottom of the sea forever, and one with a disposition big change."

"Minister Schneider of the Executive Department, he always wears a gas mask, not because he looks so scary or deliberately pretends to be mysterious. His respiratory tract was completely shattered in this incident, and half of his face was necrotic. That mask In fact, it is a special oxygen mask. He has to replace the plastic trachea every three years. Professor Heidi, she is one of the few people in the college who has won the tenured professorship at the age of 32. As a woman, she really It's brilliant, but she's at the bottom of the sea forever, and as for Mance, he's on the Moniach, waiting for revenge."

Fingel put down his bangs, "After that day, the academy launched the EVA personality system project and the Norma artificial intelligence programming project, and let go of militarized management."

"What did you meet at the bottom of the water?"

"A door, and the shadow of a dragon hidden in the deep seabed." Fingel said slowly, "The place where we dived was a 300-meter-deep seabed. When we arrived at the bottom of the sea, it was supposed to be pitch black, and spotlights were useless in this kind of place. It was cloudy everywhere, and the visibility was less than 15 meters. But each of us saw that door, that door. The glowing door floating in the sea seems to lead to heaven."

"You are hallucinating."

"No, that's not an illusion." Fingel shook his head, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but it's definitely not an illusion, the door is real, but among the people present, I'm the only one who wasn't bewitched by the door. "

"We originally dived in the diving bell, but everyone else left the diving bell as the first protective barrier and swam towards the door. The sound of their rapid breathing came from the communication channel, and my heart was also shocked." The desire to enter that door, as if the most precious treasure in the world was hidden there, but I restrained myself, and before I could warn them not to enter the door, the door opened."

"Is something coming out of the door?" Zero asked.

"A shadow that is too close to be seen." Fingel took a deep breath, "When it appeared, everyone was awake, and the hybrids who joined this dive were all 'A' ranks, and their bloodlines allowed us to perceive the deadly Dangerous, each of us equipped with an underwater rifle, the comm channel was filled with jumbled gunshots and shouts from Schneider on the ice."

"That guy is definitely a dragon. It looks like it is flying in the sky under the water. We are just the prey it teased. In just 1 minute, my earphones lost their sound. In the beam of light from the spotlight, floating Blood mist, I saw them being hijacked by the dragon shadow and entered the door with my own eyes, the only thing I could do was to get out of the diving bell and hold EVA's hand tightly."

"But as soon as I got out of the diving bell, I took a blow to the head. Before that, I opened the bronze throne, so the blow didn't kill me, but I still felt a splitting headache. I know we The chances of survival are low, but at least I want to get her back to the surface, the only way is to put her in my diving bell, the people on the ice have received the signal, and the empty diving bells of the rest are The hook cable tightened and connected by the mechanical roulette pulled up, and I was the only one who maintained communication with the ice.”

"I didn't have time to think, I hugged her and protected her in my arms. She was wearing a diving suit. Compared with my height of 300 meters, she was a petite little girl, but she hadn't closed the hatch of the diving bell yet. Another blow to the head, I nearly lost consciousness, a big hole in the wetsuit, [-] meters of sea pressure and open wounds made me breathless, but I finally put her in Diving bell."

"Then why are you not her who is alive in the end." Zero asked.

Fingel drank the bitter coffee in his cup, "This is one of the things I regret most in my life. We use the latest German diving bell, which is completely closed. Compared with the old-fashioned diving bell, it is more like It is a submarine without a power system. During the initial commissioning, the academy added a combination lock to the diving bell. Each of us set a password to open the hatch. Only by entering the correct password three times can the hatch be opened. This is for To prevent us from falling into hallucinations and misoperation, and all my passwords are her birthday."

Fingel fumbled out the cigar box from the inner bag of the school uniform, which was the most authentic Cuban cigar. He stood up, left his seat, took out the cigar cutter, and skillfully cut a cigar.

There was a golden flame on the old zipper lighter, and he leaned against the sidewalk window, smoking in silence.

It was the first time Zero saw Fingel smoking a cigarette. At this moment, she even mistook Fingel for Caesar, because from the side view, Fingel looked too much like a nobleman who had received aristocratic education.

"You used all the money you earned writing 'Red Dragon Prince' to buy cigarettes?" Ling also stood up and leaned against the railing opposite Finger.

"In addition to cigarettes, there is also alcohol, and I have to go to have some supper every night." Fingal stubbed out the cigar in the iron ashtray on the trash can

The train rushes out of the red pine forest, and there are winding mountains in the distance. There is plain white snow on the top of the mountains, and the melted snow water converges into a clear river. From top to bottom, wild camellias bloom under the sunlight, and the beauty is amazing. .

"EVA, is that EVA from the academy?"

"Have you heard of the personality transplant OS?"

"It is a scientific fantasy to transplant personal personality into a computer so that it can think. Could it be that this technology is used in the manipulation of EVA?"

"EVA is probably the first one. This is the technology I developed together with Mance. After Norma's programming ended, I continued to develop EVA for some reasons. Don't look at me now. I was in the mathematics department back then. But No.1, programming technology is actually very dependent on the talent of mathematics, the famous milestone personnel in the history of computer, almost all have remarkable achievements in the field of mathematics."

"So, is EVA's personality transplanted?"

"It can also be said to be her brain itself." Fingel said lightly, "At least it makes me feel that she is still by my side in another way."

"Do you love her?" Zero brushed a strand of pale golden hair hanging by his ear.

"Of course I love you." Fingel lit another cigar and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

At 21:42 U.S. time, the Gulf of Alaska is one of the nine famous bays in the world. It is located at the southern tip of Alaska, between the Alaska Peninsula and the Alexander Islands. Anchorage, the coastal port, has an oil management center. The United States has announced , in wartime the Gulf of Alaska was the first of the sea lane throats that had to be controlled.

The Port of Kodiak is located in an archipelago in the Gulf of Alaska in southern Alaska, USA. It is a non-main port among inland ports. A huge tugboat is parked at the port, and a crane keeps lifting wooden boxes without markings to the deck.

Fingel saluted and waved towards the boat, while Mance stood with his hands behind his back with a serious face.

"Why did the academy let him come? Grade F, he's just here to cause trouble." Selma complained. No one in the academy knew that Fingel was a famous waste.

"Do you really think this guy is a piece of shit? Wrong, Fingel von Frings, he was an 'A' student at the Academy, had participated in many missions, and was the most experienced specialist among the students. Later There is only one reason why he no longer performs missions. He was seriously injured in a certain mission, and even affected his sanity. What you see now is not his true state...Although it is true that he was messy before...but not like this " Mance turned around: "If he can return to the state of the year, the only person in the academy who can compare to him is Lu Mingfei."
