What? Ultraman is lifelong?

"By the way, how are the test machines and Lightning Man?" Masaki Keigo sealed off the underground ruins, and teleported directly to the ground with Castor. "The cause of that mutation, is it darkness?"

"Although darkness catalyzed the mutation of the Lightning Man, the main reason for the mutation is human beings' interference with the ionosphere."

Castor shook his head and looked at the sky in the distance, which was the direction where the test machine fell.

Although Castor was the first to see the Lightning Man, Dr. Mizuno is the one who has studied the Lightning Man the most in the world.

Dr. Mizuno never intended to betray humanity from beginning to end. All he wanted to do was to drive the glowing plane and take the Lightning Man to the universe to find a new home.

He is actually an animal protectionist in a broad sense. Of course, unlike those crazy animal protectionists, Dr. Mizuno is an animal protectionist based on science.

What he wants to protect is not the cute cats and dogs, but the ecological environment of the entire earth.

Of course, the circle of this ecological environment also includes the legendary Lightning Man.

Due to human destruction, habitat loss and other factors, the proportion of endangered species on earth is increasing at an alarming rate.

Before industrial society, one species of bird became extinct every 300 years, and one species of mammal became extinct every 8000 years. However, since industrial society, the rate of species extinction on earth has exceeded the natural extinction rate by 1000 times.

1/8 of the world's plants, 1/4 of the mammals, 1/9 of the birds, 1/5 of the reptiles, 1/4 of the amphibians, and 1/3 of the fish are all on the verge of extinction. Therefore, it is urgent to protect animals, and the whole world is calling for the protection of animals. The core content of animal protection is the prohibition of cruelty or mutilation of any animal, and the prohibition of hunting and preying on wild animals.

All natural species and their communities are adapted to the local environmental conditions. As long as the conditions remain unchanged, they can survive for a long time. Even if they spread or shrink, the process is slow and gradual.

The intensification of human activities has broken this eternal balance, leading to the extinction of species, of which natural disasters are also part of the reason.

Mizuno will not stop people from eating meat, nor will he stop human livestock farming and slaughter. As a scientist, he knows that this is what people without brains would do. Human beings have developed to this day and are fighting step by step out of the jungle. This is definitely not the case. In order to live equally with animals.

He just hopes that humans can find a way to develop in balance with nature.

In this era of rapid development of human society, everything has a price. No matter how noble the doctrine is, it is full of interests. A pure protectionist like him who has not colluded with any interests has become a loser in this society. As an alien, the animal protection agencies do not recognize him, and ordinary people cannot understand him.

Fortunately, his student Horii successfully built a translator that could talk to animals, and he also participated in and promoted the establishment of TPC.

With the establishment of TPC, mankind began to stop the struggle that lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Peace seemed like the sun might rise at any time. New trends of thought began to emerge, and human society began to reflect on the past development methods. , facing those disasters from nature, human society began to consider a better attitude towards life.

Everything seems to be moving towards a good place. Dr. Mizuno feels that there is no need to look for those lightning people. As long as the time is right, there will be a day when human society and lightning people can live in harmony.

But just when he gave up research on lightning people and began to turn to other research directions, Daguda came back with the latest records about lightning people.

No one could notice anything wrong with the videos and pictures that Dagu brought back to record, except him.

In the dark clouds photographed by Dagu, a huge shadow always surrounded Dr. Mizuno's heart. This shadow pressed him, pressed him, and finally allowed him to fly the plane into the sky.

Dagu looked at the experimental machine that had begun to recover before him. Human beings are really too fragile. The experimental machine fell to pieces and fell apart, but it only took a few days to recover. However, Dr. Mizuno couldn't even wake up. Can't do it.

After that meeting, the matter of Dr. Mizuno seemed to be forgotten. Everything was set in order. No one chose to counterattack. Everything in the past was buried in the past like a wrong idea at the wrong time.

But Dagu didn't think so. Every time he closed his eyes, the scene of his last meeting with Dr. Mizuno in the hangar was in his mind, and he couldn't sleep.

Dagu felt that he had a problem, but both Masaki Keigo and Castor seemed to have disappeared and could not be contacted.

Finally, Dagu came to the hangar, and he wanted to know what the mutation Dr. Mizuno said was.

Dagu walked past the test machine and began to walk deeper. There was another plane parked there. It was the plane used by Dr. Mizuno when he was studying the Lightning Man project a few years ago. However, because it was specially designed for Designed to operate in the ionosphere, it has been grounded because no suitable project can be found.

Dr. Mizuno did not give up the plane. On the contrary, he told Dagu more than once in the hangar that he would let the plane take off again in the future.

Dagu knew that Dr. Mizuno had spent half his life working on this plane. He hoped to find something different from what he brought back.

But what surprised Dagu was that there seemed to be someone already on the plane.

"Dago, are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

Dagu looked at the screen of Horii's handheld computer connected to the plane. Numbers were constantly scrolling on it. He asked, "What is this? An electronic code?"

"This is a secret that the teacher left in the plane and didn't want to be revealed." Horii shook his head, "I just noticed it. I originally thought that the teacher might not have discovered the Lightning Man, but now I think about how this is possible. What? If this kind of creature does not exist, forget it. If it exists, how could the teacher not discover it if he is in the ionosphere every day? "

"You mean Dr. Mizuno deliberately concealed the existence of the Lightning Man?"

No, it's not a deliberate concealment, Dagu thought. After all, Dr. Mizuno has actually been telling the outside world about the Lightning Man, as if he had known about the existence of this thing for a long time, but was unwilling to admit it directly.

"He kept everything that could be used as evidence, such as those pictures and videos, and only released some marginal things as evidence." Horii looked at the screen that was constantly analyzing, "He probably wanted to Let humans get used to the Lightning Man first, and then wait until human society finds a way to balance with nature, and then tell the truth bit by bit."

"No, the password the teacher used is too high-end." Horii shook his head.

Dagu frowned, thought for a long time, and then said, "Actually, can we trust the other members of the victory team?"

"It's possible." Horii was a little unsure, "But, will they support us?"

"Definitely!" Dagu nodded, "That's why I joined the victory team."
