Space-time Traveler Chapter 49: The mechanical ascent of the wasteland plane

The Wasteland Plane.

Just when Su Ziyu felt that an unprecedented powerful enemy was coming to the material world, in an underground laboratory on the plane of the wasteland, a major event that could change the course of the world also happened.

The white meeting room was full of figures.

They have males and females. Most of them are not young. More than half of them are dressed as scholars. The youngest of them is a mature woman in her thirties with a burgundy wave. With long hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he is pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and he casts his eyes to the gate of the meeting room.

DaDaDa.

There was a crisp sound of footsteps.

Soon, Dr. A in a white coat came in, and behind him was a pair of young men and women. The women were about 20 years old and had a beautiful and cold face, dressed as a professional secretary. The fingernails are a bit long, and the azure eyes behind the gold glasses are staring at the other people coldly.

The young man beside her is also handsome and tall, standing behind Dr. A with no expression on his face, like a cold soldier.

"Thank you all for coming in person."

Dr. a came to the front of the conference room, his eyes swept away from the others, his pupils were slightly narrowed, but a smile was raised at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "This meeting is very important."

"In order to prevent information from being stolen, I invite you all to come in person."

Different from the last meeting.

The people who appeared here this time are all entities, not holographic projections. In the past two years, the situation on the plane of the wasteland has become more and more tense. The geneticists have launched several counterattacks and stole some of their intelligence. , Many underground forces emerged one after another, further expanding the scale of chaos.

"Dr. a."

"Is there any important information we need to come over in person?" A white scholar in his fifties stood up and looked forward to Dr. A: "Did you find [Zeus]?"

"Or did you discover his true identity?"

Hearing what he said, Dr. A shook his head gently and said: "No. Zeus has not appeared since the last time he acted."

"We can only be sure that he has contact with the Brotherhood."

"But the Brotherhood will block any information about him very deadly, and it is impossible to determine his true identity."

Dr. a’s words made some scholars look disappointed. The most mysterious existence in the wasteland in the past two years must be the capable person called [Zeus] who can control the power of lightning. Two years ago Destroyed several secret bases of the genetic school in the northern area with his own efforts. This incident greatly damaged the strength of the genetic school. If it were not for the sudden appearance of Zeus, I am afraid that they would not regain control of the northern region so quickly.

"Although no trace of Zeus was found."

"But our people found the trace of Godmother Isodel, who recently appeared in the depths of the Atomic Sea." Dr. a gently raised his hand, and a female with light green long hair emerged, and he looked away Sweeping: "This is the first time Isoldell godmother appeared in our sight after destroying the super mutant base of the genetic school with [Atomic Light] last time."

"But."

"Everyone, what we are going to talk about today is not this."

Since the mysterious existence code-named [Zeus] hit the genetic school with great power two years ago, many scholars have shown great interest in such capable people, and then the godmother Isodel’s [Atomic Light] It made them extremely concerned about this, because they discovered that humans can actually manipulate the power of radiation.

Does this mean that humans have other antidote?

Dr.a's gaze swept around in the meeting room, and then he clapped his hands, and some holographic projections appeared in front of his eyes. His tone gradually became cold, and he slowly said: "Everyone, please look here."

"These are some images taken by our satellite in Asia."

The screen switches quickly.

The first thing that appeared was a magnificent industrial city. Just looking at the red flag flying in the middle of the city, everyone present knew where it was.

"Beidou?"

"Are they expanding again?" The mature woman in her thirties pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Dr. a slightly moved his finger to switch the screen quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes. This is the third expansion of Beidou."

"Look here."

On the outskirts of this huge industrial city, a large number of construction sites are underway. In the distance is a vast motorcade, which stretches for almost tens of kilometers, and you can't see the end at a glance. The originally abandoned roads have been rebuilt. The heavy trucks were loaded with various materials, and they were transported to the industrial city in front of them like a long dragon at this time, continuously delivering nutrients to it.

A group of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor is marching forward. Some of them are responsible for transporting the supplies back, and some of them take the heavy armored truck to the unknown distance.

"Two years."

"Beidou launched a total of twelve expeditions." Dr. a's voice became lower and lower, even with a hint of coldness, and slowly said: "On average once every two months."

"More than 1.5 million troops were mobilized back and forth."

"Eight armies, more than 20 armored divisions."

Dr. a waved his finger, and the picture before him turned into a map of Asia. From the red dot where the Beidou was located, red arrows stretched out, first pointing to two cities along the coast, and then extending to The Yangtze and Yellow River basins, then went north to the edge of the map, and then went all the way to the south, continuously advancing in three directions.

"It's impossible!" A white old man in his sixties stood up and said in shock: "They simply don't have so many materials to support such a large-scale battle!"

Dr. a raised his head and glanced at him coldly, then gently tapped his finger and said: "Yes. Normally it is like this."

"They simply don't have so many supplies to support such a large-scale expedition."

The screen switches again.

This time, what appears is no longer a majestic industrial city, but a long-abandoned factory and mining area. The first picture was taken by satellite, and you can see a caravan full of people driving into it. Then the entire area began to undergo earth-shaking changes. One factory after another was rebuilt. Giant armored vehicles, heavy trucks, cranes, and excavators pushed the abandoned factories horizontally. Then there were 24 hours of work all night long, countless The silhouettes passed by like an ant, and in a blink of an eye, factories and mining areas were re-established.

Countless similar scenes are repeated continuously, and factories stand up again on the abandoned ground.

Finally, the picture freezes on a group of dark workers. They seem to have just drilled out of the mine. Their faces are completely indistinguishable, and their faces are covered with black dirt. Only a pair of perseverance can be seen. They had bloodshot eyes and calluses on their rough palms. They talked and laughed and removed the external mechanical lifting arm. Then a group of people sat on the ground, carrying boxes of food and swallowing them. Not far from them, there was another group of workers covered in dirt. They greeted these people and entered the dark mine ahead without hesitation.

"They work more than twelve hours a day."

"All factories and mining areas are operating at full capacity 24 hours a day in three shifts." Dr. A's voice was very low and slowly said: "In Beidou, there are tens of millions of workers like them. "

"They not only supported the twelve large-scale expeditions of Beidou."

"And three new industrial cities have been rebuilt."

The screen changed again.

The first thing that appeared was a certain city in the coastal zone. Thousands of engineering teams were busy starting work, and in the distance, dozens of teams were continuously transporting countless materials and resources. The location of is an unfinished port. You can see a huge aircraft carrier in the port. Its hull is already worn out, but at this time there are more than a dozen engineering teams busy on the aircraft carrier, a gunship helicopter. It is slowly landing on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

There is dead silence in the meeting room.

The screen is switched again. This time it is a city in the Mesopotamia. Half of it is still in dilapidated ruins, but the other half has been rebuilt with tall buildings. There are countless outside barracks. Armored vehicles, at this time there was a group of heavily armed steel soldiers still stained with black blood, returning to the group.

"The picture was taken one month ago." Dr. a slowly said: "According to their current marching speed, this force should have already pushed through the Mesopotamia."

Short silence.

The woman in her 30s suddenly said: "We can't just sit and wait, maybe we can stop them from expanding further."

"One of their corps is almost beyond the boundaries of the old age."

"According to the treaty of the old age, their behavior violated the territorial sovereignty of other countries."

The voice fell.

Many people in the conference room raised their heads, while Dr. A's pupils contracted, his expression seemed to show a mocking smile, but restrained, he turned his head and looked at the woman. The cold gaze made the heartbeat of the other party seem to stop, and then he said in a deep voice: "Boundary line?"

"Do you think this thing is meaningful now?"

"When you see these pictures, the first thing you think of is how to stop them? Do you destroy them?"

"This is the age of wasteland."

"The visible end is right in front of us. According to Gaia's calculations, after about one hundred and twenty years, no new babies will be born in human beings."

Dr. a's words silenced the others.

"But we can't just sit back and watch them grow, it will threaten our country..." an old man suddenly said.

Dr. A waved his hand and interrupted him, his gaze swept like a sharp blade, and he said intently: "The concept of the country should have been abandoned long ago! The country we are in used to have the best everything on earth!"

"The best talents! The most advanced technology! The richest resources! The greatest wealth!"

"But what about the result?"

"It did not lead mankind out of the earth, nor did it bring us a better future. It only left us with wars, wars, endless wars..."

"Are you going to repeat the catastrophe of the old age?"

Others were a little bit hesitant when they heard the words, but Dr. A seemed to be a little bit distracted, gently raised his hand to switch the screen, and slowly said: "One day ago. The workers in Ice and Steam City protested the week’s working hours. A large-scale riot broke out for more than fifty hours."

"They occupied the city hall with guns."

The screen switched, a burning building appeared in front of you, and a group of thugs armed with guns were directly in front of them. Many shops were looted, and there was thick smoke from the fire in the distance.

The riots turned the whole city into a carnival for thugs.

"Ice Steam City is just a special example." A gray-haired old man stood up and said in a deep voice: "We can send someone to suppress them at any time."

"Everything else is normal."

Meeting room.

Many people thoughtfully looked at Dr. A in front of them. Some of them had already guessed what Dr. A was going to do.

"And then?" Dr. A turned his head and looked at the old man in front of him, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"We can speed up the production of synthetic humans!" a middle-aged man said: "As long as there are enough synthetic humans, we can quickly complete the expansion."

Dr. a smiled, shook his head and said: "This is the age of wasteland."

"The cost of a synthetic human is more than that of a state-of-the-art exoskeleton power armor. How much do you think can be made with the resources we currently collect?"

After speaking, Dr. a gestured to the female secretary next to him.

Then he looked at the others present and said: "This is the image we captured with satellite three days ago."

A white snow field appeared in the screen.

In the distance is a metropolis that has been completely destroyed by nuclear bombing. In a square area of ​​the metropolis, a huge hideous creature like a huge piece of flesh and blood is sleeping in it, like a huge deformed jellyfish. , Tentacles stretched out on the surface of its body, as if it was swaying slightly with the breath, and it was impossible to see what it was, because just observing its existence through the screen, many people already felt it. To a touch of mental tingling.

An unknown existence that cannot be described or guessed.

An unknown monster born in the center of a nuclear explosion and sleeping for hundreds of years, no one has really stepped into this realm of death.

Boom.

The dull mechanical roar suddenly sounded.

I don’t know when a huge airship appeared in the sky. Below the airship, a huge army composed entirely of steel torrents is slowly advancing. The super giant exoskeleton armor of about two meters, under their feet are countless soldiers equipped with light exoskeletons like ants. They have cold faces and look similar. Many people look like they are carved out of a mold. , A large number of armored vehicles are filled with such fighters, they are assembled into legions, and continue to advance toward the city that has long been turned into ruins in the front.

"Clone!" A woman's suppressed exclamation sounded.

Heavy tracks run over the snowy field.

In the line of sight of a group of people, hundreds of tanks gradually emerged. These heavy tanks are completely different from other tanks because there is a bright red five-pointed star printed in front of it, extending out of two black holes. The dark coating of the gun barrel exudes a suffocating pressure. When this armored unit appeared, many people in the conference room changed their faces.

Many people present with that unique shape had the impression, some of them stood up with a face full of disbelief and said: "Apocalypse?!"

"It's impossible!"

"In the old days we have clearly won! We destroyed all their heavy industries! We destroyed all their military installations!..."

"It is impossible for them to have the ability to create apocalypse at all!"

The picture before me changed again.

Along with the mighty Apocalypse tanks marching into the front position, tens of millions of armored soldiers began to gather, the sky filled the abandoned city in front, and a strange light curtain visible to the naked eye enveloped the army in front. Up.

The entire conference room was silent, and many people were dumbfounded.

Dr. a did not speak, but the mockery on his face was more intense. He swept away the others present with a cold gaze, and after a slight gesture to the secretary next to him, he directly closed the door of the entire meeting room, and then stood up. Said: "I re-propose "Swarm Consciousness Implantation"!"

"Who is for? Who is against?"

The voice fell.

In the screen projected in front of me, countless soldiers also started to charge towards the abandoned city ahead. Along with the artillery fire that covered the sky and the sun, a roar that had not sounded for a long time also echoed in the sky.

"Ula!!!"

"Ula!!!"

"Ula!!!"
