From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 55 Cerberus Tyrant
  It didn't take long.

There were no gunshots and shouts on the streets, only the heavy "thump, thump" footsteps of the giant as he walked.

And by deliberately exposing his whereabouts, he first attracted the attention of D and other personnel, and then used the alley to break into the store and launch a surprise attack. Judging from the operation, the giant should have a considerable degree of wisdom and self-awareness.

now.

About sixty meters away from the street, in a house on the sixth floor of an apartment;
  "They are indeed a bunch of idiots. How could Atlas be so kind as to give them ammunition for his gun? Instead of trying to hide quickly, they wander around on the street. This is not looking for death."

At the beginning, the bald D and other personnel had a panoramic view of the giant killing more than a dozen people in an instant, and while complaining in a low voice, he was glad that he had made the right choice.

But the good times didn't last long. He saw that the giant started to search for the corpse, and fumbled for a grenade. He skillfully squeezed the ring and safety, aimed at his position, and made a throwing motion.

call out!
  The grenade thrown by brute force made a sound of breaking through the air, and was thrown into the house where he was accurately.

Seeing this, Baldhead was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and cursed without changing his expression: "This son of a bitch... ha!"

"Boom!"

The next second, the explosion caused by the defensive grenade and the ejected fragments immediately "engulfed" the bald head.

Leave the room that is riddled with holes.

Return to the ceiling of the facility and look down.

At the south and north ends of the simulated town, there was a giant on each side performing a sweep, eliminating all D-class personnel and mutated Doberman dogs.

at the same time.

There is a slightly recessed area at the upper end of the wall on the north side of the facility, and a single-sided protective window is installed.

If we gradually approach the protective window...

near…

Until you pass through, you can hear it;

"The monitors of 001 and 002 are working stably. It can be confirmed that we have realized the function of sharing vision with the driver."

"001 and 002 have solved 90% of D and other materials and conventional biological weapons, and are expected to complete this simulated security battle within sixty seconds."

"The neural links between the two pilots and their respective tyrants are stable, and the synchronization rate remains between 98% and 100% without any drastic fluctuations."

Atlas workers are briefing their supervisors and bosses on the details of the trial.

Behind the protective window is an observation room with multiple control consoles and numerous holographic screens. The staff are sitting at their respective posts, paying close attention to the data of the two giants and the simulated town.

And there are not only staff in the observation room, but also several researchers wearing medical white robes and holding their own tablet computers, who are seizing the time to record and analyze.

In addition, Alexia Ashford, the research director of the Department of Biology and Engineering, saw that the experiments were going as smoothly as expected, so she walked slowly to the protective window, with a little pride and pride in her eyes, and smiled. road:

"How about the Veronica virus? Boss." "Very good." After hearing this, Sui Yang, who visually observed the whole process of the experiment, affirmed Alexia's research results:

"Being able to extract the Veronica virus through the Flower of God proves that you are indeed a genius rarely seen in a century. Atlas is even more fortunate to have your assistance."

The Veronica virus developed by Alexia is not the virus in "Resident Evil: Codename Veronica".

Since quasi-investigator Leon S. Kennedy and the Third Company of the ARS recovered samples of the Flower of God, Alexia and her team have spent most of their time and energy on refining and studying the Flower of God. The RNA virus contained in the flower.

It may be that Alexia has a "special attack" on virology, and she used organisms such as ants to successfully develop a mutant strain - Veronica.

Later, after Sui Yang's prompting, another variant was extracted using leeches, the Tyrant Virus, or T-Virus for short.

As for the basic RNA virus contained in the Flower of God, it is called "The Progenitor Virus" by Alexia and her team.

T virus and Veronica virus have similar characteristics. If ordinary people are infected by these two viruses, they will excessively accelerate the metabolism in the body, causing the body to become itchy and hungry, leading to the shedding of muscle and skin tissue, and ultimately The cerebral cortex becomes necrotic and becomes a walking zombie.

If a newly deceased corpse is infected with these two viruses, there will also be a phenomenon of "resurrection from the dead", such as personnel such as D who were attacked by a mutated Doberman.

Theoretically, if a person infected with these two viruses is an adapter, then there is a certain chance of becoming a "super human", with qualitative changes in speed, strength, reaction and other aspects.

But after a simple calculation and the result that only one perfect adaptor could appear for every four million people, Alexia continued to use the suggestions provided by Sui Yang to focus on biological biological weapons (BOW). on research and development.

Although the T virus and Veronica virus have similar characteristics and can cause rapid differentiation of human cells, Veronica virus is more "mild"...

Even this "moderateness" is not within the range that humans can bear.

On the other hand, the T virus is relatively "friendly" to infectious bodies in the embryonic stage.

So based on these characteristics, combined with the biotechnology obtained from RDA, Alexia's team first cultivated T-virus-infected embryos, and then transferred them to a culture chamber to accelerate the development of the embryos.

However, during the development period, the temperature of the culture chamber will gradually drop to minus 14°C. At this time, the Veronica virus will be injected to slowly and safely transform the infected body.

In order to ensure the development of the infectious body, the culture chamber will provide excess nutritional calories and improve the original preservation film liquid of RDA.

After continuous experiments, Alexia’s team successfully cultivated the first stable BOW on November 1994, 11——

Cerberus.

The official name should be "Organic Biological Rapid Detection Unit", but Alexia and the others prefer the title "Cerber Hound".

Subsequently, based on the programming brain experience gained from the Reinvented Warrior project, the research team did not take long to successfully equip Cerberus with the function of identifying friend or foe, which can independently or jointly perform tasks such as reconnaissance, vigilance, and search.

Through the experience gained from the Cerberus project and RDA's consciousness transfer technology, Alexia's team tried to develop a controllable combat body similar to "Avatar".

On November 1994, 11, the Department of Bioengineering officially launched the "Bio-Organic Combat Exoskeleton" project.

However, in the later stages of the project, Alexia and her team preferred to call the final product of the project "Tyrants", namely the two giants who performed simulated vigilante warfare.
