Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 226
In the past two years, Stajira has focused on the research on the tolerance of Zerg cells. This project has produced three practical results from her hands, one of which was adopted by the military. It was handed over to the Equipment Research Department for further applicability research, and Stajira himself was awarded for it.

The affirmation from civilization made her full of energy. Recently, she spent almost all day and night in the laboratory, took a short rest when she was tired, and then devoted herself to research again.

It can be said that she works in the laboratory almost all day, except for her own essential problems that need to be solved.

Professor Nair's team is undoubtedly the top group here in Fowler Star, and Stagiela can join it as a Fowler member, which shows its excellence.

However, what she didn't know was that within a few hours after she stopped working, Sass quietly completed the replacement of microbes in several Zerg samples in the laboratory.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Four hours later, Stajila regained her spirits and went to work.

Her latest project is the study of the biological principles of Zerg mouthparts.

As the name suggests, after making progress on the Zerg armor, she decided to start research on the more important head.

The approval has already been passed. In this era of great discoveries about Zerg, there is absolutely no shortage of topics.

In this laboratory, Stajila is in charge of a project independently, and the results of all research groups will eventually be collected by Professor Nair and become the scientific research results of the military.

Of course, she wasn't the only person in this semi-independent research room, she also had two assistants, both of whom were from Velvet.

The Velvet people who were born with excellent conditions can't quite understand Stajira's efforts. Even if this project is very important, they will not be desperate.

And this teacher is a Fowler, although they didn't despise her as much as ordinary Fowlers, but they couldn't talk about respecting her. After all, it was Stajila who urgently needed to integrate into the Velvet, and Not them.

So during the four hours that Stagiela was resting, they were resting too, and when Stagiela got up to work, they were still resting.

This is not a problem, because this period of time is indeed a rest time, but by comparing the two, we can know how much effort Stajila has put in to grow to this point.

And all of this, Velvet people can get it as soon as they are born.

Sass is also observing this researcher, who is completely different from most of the intelligent creatures in the entire experimental base, watching her skillfully manipulate the instrument to transfer a bug to the dissecting table, kill it, and then harvest its organs. Then it moved to the other side, put it inside another large instrument, completed the sealing, and then began to wait.

This step is sampling, which should be done by the assistant, but now it is not working time, so she can only do it by herself.

Her starting point is component detection, which can be done directly by the Federation's advanced scientific research equipment, from elemental composition to organ modeling, all of which can be completed relatively quickly.

Of course, the instrument can only obtain data, which is only an auxiliary tool, and the final conclusion still needs to be analyzed by researchers. This is also the gap between Stajila and the two Velvet assistants.

That is the accumulation of knowledge and experience, coupled with the bonding of talent, which is not so easy to achieve.

Seth observed all this quietly, the dead bug didn't do anything, it was still the same as usual.

Its target is not this unique scientific researcher, because she almost never leaves the laboratory, and rarely even goes to open areas, which of course does not meet the requirements of SARS.

Zerg must be brought out by biological entities, and they will inevitably be discovered after being dispersed in the air on a large scale for a long time. Only active scientific researchers can complete this plan.

Therefore, it requires an active individual to take the Zerg microunit out into a truly free environment, and then quietly reproduce.

Stajila is not good, she is too quiet, but her assistant is very good. After long-term observation, Sass finally chose this place among many laboratories, and chose one of Stajila's assistants—Wil Werther Lyle.

There is also a very important reason for choosing assistants, because some basic operations are done by them, and only these basic operations can contact the Zerg, which is exactly the opportunity Sass is waiting for.

Soon, it came to its target.

Two Velvets opened the entrance and walked in, and greeted Stajira.

Stajila was very calm, she didn't put too much teacher airs, and she didn't flatter the Velvet people, she just did her own thing seriously, and at the same time told them what the other party needed to do, that's all.

After a little tidying up, one of the two began to sit in front of the stage, taking over the work that Stajira was doing, cultivating more Zerg units and obtaining more samples.

The other person took out the samples stored in the instrument before, and at the same time made statistics and sorted out the obtained information.

Sass has observed that during the experiment, these researchers are basically completely isolated from the Zerg, and only when they come into contact with the samples is Sass' chance!
Although most of the operations are done automatically, as researchers, they inevitably need to be in contact with samples. This is the most dangerous part of biological experiments, especially alien biological experiments, but it is also a necessary part of their work .

Sass was not in a hurry to start, what had to be done had already been done, and when that special worm was brought onto the dissecting table, the plan would naturally start.

Before that, it needs to closely observe whether the other party is different from the past today.This is the most critical step, and it needs to be cautious. Once this action is detected by the other party again, it is almost certain that all experiments will be stopped in the next moment, and all Zerg experiment samples will be destroyed. Raise the realm of the Velvet people to the highest level, and return to that completely isolated state.

And the Zerg no longer have the conditions to accomplish this.

Lyle is a typical Velvetian scientific research worker, he is smart, rigorous, and optimistic. In this laboratory with only three people, he is considered the most active one.

Some couldn't bear the dull atmosphere in the laboratory, so he started to find topics. In this small space, what could interest all three of them was undoubtedly the results they had obtained before.

"Teacher, our previous achievements have been adopted by the military, and we may soon be able to see real applications. At that time, can you apply to Professor Nair to have the finished materials tested by us?" Lyle said. , Saying it is casual, but this is also what he hopes.

"That's right. After all, it was our theoretical results that were initially obtained. Presumably Professor Nair will agree to it?" Another assistant, Zenoni, took over, saying that it would be beneficial for each of them to win this project.

Stajira seemed to think about it for a while. He could naturally understand the language of the Velvets, but due to the different vocal organs, she couldn't do many pronunciations, so she could only communicate with the help of a real-time translation device.

"Okay, I don't think there will be too many problems." She agreed while continuing the work at hand.

Although Lyle was talking, the things in his hands did not delay. He put on the protective clothing, added another layer of protection to himself, and then cleared the creatures, and then entered a confined space, and started to act. own operation.

Sass was indifferent, it was exactly the same as usual, it waited quietly.

Zero is also paying attention here. According to the plan, the possibility of SARS success is quite high. As long as he avoids the fate of being directly killed and really comes into contact with biological entities, then the probability of multiple subsequent biological tests is not to be feared. .

Stajila's experiment is obviously not enough for one sample, and Lyle, as an assistant, is actually very busy.

Sass paid close attention to a worm that was sealed and isolated. If there were no accidents, it should be the next experimental sample.

And it is the only thing Sass changed among the many bugs that were forced to be hatched by the Velvets, and it is also the most critical part of Sass' escape plan.

Lyle sat on the edge of the operating table and controlled the instrument to automatically send the worm to the dissecting table.

At this point in the matter, both Zero and Sass are very calm, watching the bug that was killed by one blow lose its life characteristics in the struggle, and watching the other party complete dismemberment, picking up, processing and so on.

The microscopic bug species hidden in its body, like all bugs before, spread all over all objects that come into contact with it.

Soon, the first round of purification came, the useless tissues were dissolved, and then the entire dissecting table was completely cleaned up.

Under the targeted killing of the Velvets, a large number of micro Zerg units died, even if they were floating in the air, they couldn't be spared. They were another small means used to confuse the Velvets.

Lyle is already familiar with the road, and there is no difference from usual. After a comprehensive clean-up, he made a simple observation to confirm that the previous clean-up had the desired effect, and then entered here wearing protective clothing.

To Lyle, this was just the most common experiment among the tens of thousands of experiments done by the entire Velvet civilization on Zerg units, without any special features.

But for Sass, the previous tens of thousands of experiments, and an unknown number of Zerg units died during the dissection, were all to pave the way for this success!
....................................

Velvet Civilization, the Ninth Colonial Galaxy, four years ago, the energy ore veins were produced again, and they were taken in by the ore vein spaceships that had been waiting there for a long time.

Since the emergence of the Zerg, it has gone through a period of searching and cleaning, and finally production and research were quickly resumed.

In order to increase the output of this "mineral vein", the Velvet people have done a lot of work, although the results have been minimal, but they have obtained a lot of characteristics related to the mineral vein. Until now, under strict monitoring, they can even use various The change of the item parameter is more accurate to predict the time when the "channel" is opened.

As for the Zerg, after being "cleaned" once, they have disappeared in this darkness. A large number of micro units, drifting around in the newly established colonial galaxy of the Federation, have long since disappeared. It is impossible to accurately capture them in such an environment.

In the dark universe, the stars shine brightly, generously spreading their own light and heat to the entire galaxy.

This is the edge of the galaxy, far away from the orbit of the outermost planets, it is dark here, even the stars that rule here, it is just a brighter star from here, and it loses what is observed inside the galaxy. magnificent and extraordinary.

Coldness and darkness are the main themes here. The conditions of hundreds of degrees below zero and no light make this place a dead silence. Only some small celestial bodies that have wandered here since ancient times are floating here quietly, like a A ghost hiding in the dark.

However, under such conditions, at this very moment, life begins to germinate here!

After decades of drifting, finally a Zerg unit was extremely lucky to "hit" an asteroid here, and began to complete its mission according to Sass' original setting.

The energy from the stars is almost nonexistent here, and its activity here proceeds very slowly and with difficulty, especially in the earliest stages.

But after all, it has come into contact with the cosmic entity. At the microcosmic level, it begins to devour the nearby matter, and slowly provides energy for itself with the most primitive chemical reaction.

Molecules are broken down, new matter is formed around it, all this is not visible, but everything is happening.

Although the progress is extremely slow, it is indeed completing its mission bit by bit, splitting, gathering, and growing... The power of the Zerg life is vividly reflected at this moment.

Over time, if there is enough light, you will see an insignificant dot on the surface of the asteroid. It is a settlement formed by the expansion of Zerg satellite units, and its size is not even one Square millimeters, but this is absolutely meaningful, because it represents that the Zerg has already been reflected here on a macro scale!
At the same time, Zero was paying attention to this Velvet research assistant named Lyle, to be precise, he was paying attention to the tiny, invisible bugs attached to it.

Sass had already made sufficient preparations before. Through the experimental characteristics of the Velvet people for so long, it is clear when and what they will do. The only thing to worry about is accidents, but accidents are not such a coincidence. happened on this very day.

Among the batch of microscopic insect species that escaped the cleaning, some of them succeeded in quietly completing their attachment after Lyle entered the accessible space.

Of course, at the beginning, it just stayed on the surface of his protective clothing.The Velvets did a pretty good job at this point, the Zerg had no room to break through, but it was enough.

As long as you leave this confined space, the plan is more than half successful!

Sure enough, the Velvets relaxed their vigilance against the Zerg under long-term monitoring. As usual, Lyle completed his work and passed the biological detection gate set up for the Zerg micro-units. He entered the laboratory without any psychological burden, and even continued with the previous topic.

"Perhaps we can draw some improved conclusions in the final testing experiment, and tell those bureaucrats in the equipment research department who usually have their eyes above the top that it is not them who can apply the latest technology to warships." credit!"

"Come on, when it comes to high-end research, they may indeed be inferior to us, but when it comes to equipment, these colleagues from the military are definitely professional. Over the years, I have never heard of any flaws in their testing experiments !
After all, if we make mistakes, as long as we don’t leak secrets, it’s nothing more than resignation. At most, we will be monitored or restricted for a period of time, but they have to use their lives to be responsible for the results! "Zenoni said to Lyle while processing the data obtained just now.

"........."

"I'm just saying, after all, if it's really entrusted to us to do it, isn't it our job to find out the mistakes and omissions?" After finishing part of his work again, seeing that the working hours are coming to an end, Lyle feels good.

The work of an assistant is simple and unpretentious, but being able to join this team, even if it is just an assistant, is quite impressive qualifications.

Perhaps in the near future, he may also be able to assign an independent project to the lower-level team.

...............

While they were chatting, some micro-units of Zerg got rid of the surface of the protective clothing and entered the air. They were lifeless, hundreds of times and thousands of times smaller than the tiniest dust, completely invisible to the naked eye.

When they really came into contact with Lyle, the whole plan was [-]% complete!
The only thing left is the final step of getting out of the laboratory, where there are two final checks to prevent the leakage of laboratory organisms.

But Sass was also prepared for this.The surviving Zerg microunits began to self-death en masse, minimizing the possibility of exposure.

Only a very small part is left, and through the material exchange between Lyle and the outside world, it is skillfully integrated with him. The number of them that are harmless to humans and animals is very small, and they are not aggressive, and they only exist on the outermost surface. It did not cause a violent reaction from the opponent's immune system.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Lyle greeted Stagiela, finished his work, and left the laboratory with Zenoni.

At the same time, there were also some insignificant little lives that left. With Lyle's movement, they entered the free air at some point, and no one knew.

　Not in good condition...... Difficult
