Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 301 The real disaster

In the face of this sandworm attack with heavy thunder and little rain, the high-level officials of the Shenzhou colony were all at a loss.

Although he should be happy if he wins the battle, he always feels that it is too relaxed. Those bait bombs are really not very esoteric things. I didn't expect the other party to be easily hooked.

Should it be said that the local creatures are all mindless beasts...

Apparently so.

Afterwards, Zhong Mingzhao asked someone to report the attack to Lu Feng, and the Shenzhou Colony returned to its usual calm.

"Chief, do you want to recover the corpses of those sandworms?"

"There is a risk at night, wait until tomorrow morning to send someone to recover..."

The dark night of Tianjixing will last for 24 hours. In the long night, invisible crises are surging in the darkness.

……

Gates of Hell, Manager's Office.

It is still daytime at Lu Feng's side, so he is working.

After receiving Zhong Mingzhao's attack report, he quickly compared some information on the World Channel, and found that there were indeed some not-so-serious animal hordes yesterday.

Especially in the rain forest area, where the beast swarm has become a common phenomenon, there is nothing special about it.

It's the land of ashes,

It may be because the marines went out for training too frequently recently, so that the few beasts on the road disappeared, and even Zhang Yinong came to protest the extermination of the army.

The person in charge of the logistics department also came over and euphemistically expressed the problem of the Marine Corps' recent excessive consumption.

Silently, Lu Feng called Jiang Shan who was in charge of the training, asked her to change the training subjects, and promised that the virtual reality system built by March [-] has entered the final testing stage and can be put into use immediately.

Although the mature [Fire Trial] still needs some polishing, the simple actual combat simulation is enough for these animals to vent their experience.

When there is no war in the future, the soldiers will be trained in the virtual reality, so that all parties can worry about it, and save money and money.

After another half a day, the Colonial Defense Department was still quiet, but the Life Sciences Department submitted a report.

"Huh? The water pollution exceeds the standard..."

Lu Feng was a little surprised.

The water shortage on Ashes Continent is no longer a day or two, and rainfall alone is not enough, so most of the water used by the Gate of Hell comes from seawater purification stations outside the mainland.

There is a huge seawater purification facility built on the edge of the Ashes Continent. Together with the tidal power station, the facility will continuously transport clean water back to the colony for storage through long pipelines.

In this report, a large number of microscopic parasites appeared in the water source filtered through the normal process, and the picture of the sample under the microscope is almost terrifying.

Where did these parasites come from, a marine disaster?

Lu Feng frowned.

Now that these problematic water sources have been stopped, the colony temporarily uses the reserves in the cistern.

"Yang Ying, what do you think of this report?"

Lu Feng didn't understand biology, so he called Yang Ying and Lao Popsicle. He didn't forget that Lao Popsicle was also a biology expert.

"very dangerous!

These parasites are very difficult to entangle, and it is difficult to remove them by conventional filtration methods. Even if they are boiled and drunk, they still cannot be completely killed.

After parasitization, these little creatures killed their hosts in just 2 hours, which is rare for their kind.

I'm already working on it, but the composition of this creature is extremely complex, as if it was born to prevent outside prying eyes, so the progress is slow..."

"What about you?"

Lu Feng shifted his gaze to the old popsicle, unexpectedly, the old popsicle said surprisingly: "I know them!"

"What, you know! What is it?"

Yang Ying was very pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked.

The old Popsicle's ugly face was showing a bit of bitterness at the moment, "It...was cultivated by my clan."

"what?"

The two were shocked.

The old popsicle flipped through the information in his hand, his expression became more and more certain, "It's not wrong, this is a variant of [Type IV protophagia], a biological weapon of the Prothean civilization."

As soon as they heard the word "biological weapon", the faces of the two of them became ugly. Yang Ying couldn't wait to ask, but Lu Feng stopped her and motioned for the old Popsicle to speak by herself.

"Biological technology is the field my family is best at besides psionic technology.

Compared with the psionic technology that is fostered by seedlings, biotechnology is developed by our family bit by bit, with a proud technological accumulation.

After encountering the Zerg,

Our clan was beaten to pieces, and we were impressed by the overwhelming number of insect swarms.

So we wondered if we could develop a biological weapon that is specially used to restrain those endless bugs so that our family can continue.

Thus, the [Protozoa Project] was born.

The gene sequence of the Zerg is extremely powerful, and if they want to defeat them biologically, they must have stronger and more targeted genes.

The research has been continued to Tianji star, and the rich species of Tianji star has given us great help, making the research almost complete.

But... time is still not on our side, just like the watcher base that sank in the seabed, the protozoa project was not completed in the end, and it was still a semi-finished product that was close to success. "

So, it seems that the Protheans have studied a large number of deadly things in order to survive.

"The protozoa project, the object of cultivation is a vicious parasite that can kill the host.

In our vision, it can quickly infect a swarm, and then multiply in the host body at an extremely fast rate without being eliminated by the immune system.

After multiplying to a certain scale, it will force the host to explode and die like a pustule, and spread out the second generation of protophagia. "

Hearing the description of the old Popsicle, Lu Feng and the two couldn't help shivering.

They finally understood why even the old Popsicle had to use the adjective "vicious".

Protophagia is the natural enemy of all living things, and the Protheans almost lost their minds under the threat of extermination. This is Pandora's Box!

"Don't look at me that way, we just want to survive, not crazy!"

The old Popsicle threw the information on the table in dissatisfaction.

"The second generation of protophagia is a tiny insect form, similar to the mosquitoes in your hometown.

The second generation of protophagia is very aggressive. They will find ways to break through the surface defenses of creatures, then drill in, reproduce and lay eggs, and give birth to the third generation of protophagia.

The third generation is the end of the protophagia, the second generation has a lifespan limit, and the third generation will die with the host after killing the host, and finally become the fertilizer of the earth.

In this way, the disaster of protophagia will not spread, which is a perfect solution. "

Seeing the old Popsicle talking eloquently, Lu Feng did not relax at all. He stared at the old Popsicle seriously, and asked each word.

"So, where did the first generation of protophagia come from?
Also, you just said that it is a variant of [Protophagia Type IV], right?
Where did it change? "
