Seeing that Olivia was interested in her creation, the doctor suddenly became emotional: "My work enables human beings to get rid of congenital defects and avoid tedious and uncreative labor. The promised future, the future of all mankind, this is a prototype..."

Olivia felt her face twitch vaguely: "I sincerely wish you can make progress in your work, but let me say, this prototype..."

"The body is just a tool, and the tool must be the most effective. Ordinary people are always afraid of change. They are kidnapped by the emotions created by the chemical reactions in their brains, and cherish their own flesh and blood." Ensig said disdainfully, but He still noticed Olivia's face, and quickly changed his words.

"Of course, there are indeed many mysteries of the human body that are worthy of my research. These involve philosophical issues, and we can discuss them later... Then, General, please allow me to introduce to you the time I was ordered by the leader. research results."

Chapter 43 The Origin of the Orcs

"You can show me the technology a little later, Ensig, the order given to me by the leader is to listen to information about the orcs." Olivia said, but she knew that most of the Brotherhood's technology was still in preparation Among them, the full effect cannot be exerted.The leader replaced some scientific research centers with MCV to solve the urgent need, but research institutes that can completely process technical information are still essential.However, the technology center requires a lot of resources, which the Brotherhood cannot currently afford.

As for GDI, the technology of the Scrin people is still in an encrypted state, the more critical the technology is, the higher the degree of encryption is, and the writing of the Scrin people still needs to be deciphered.Although the watcher can use the computing power of the quantum matrix, it will not be able to crack it in a short time.In other words, even if the technology is unsealed, the production line will have to be reworked to operate.Of course Olivia knows the importance of technology, but as an officer, what she needs is something that can make an immediate difference.

"Of course, General, as you wish." The doctor turned and walked towards the data table in the laboratory. He dragged a long cable, and the six mechanical arms were elongated, each controlling an operating platform.The projector on the ceiling opened a holographic light curtain in front of Olivia-the Brotherhood's holographic imaging technology is quite mature.

On the light curtain, a series of jumping numbers flickered back and forth, and Olivia couldn't help but take a closer look: "Is this the genetic code of an orc?"

"Yes, General...Although we haven't fully interpreted it yet, every individual of the orcs has mutations and contradictions to varying degrees, which creates a lot of trouble in categorizing." Ensig said, Another two genetic charts were called up.

"Is this the genetic sequence of Earthlings and indigenous people?"

"Yes, General. We have deciphered 700 terabytes of content, and compared the orc DNA with our and native human genes... General, first of all about what you care most about, the natives It is a question of whether it is the same as that of our earthlings, please see the comparison chart."

The two charts were drawn separately, and real-time calculations began in the holographic image, marking the contrast effect with color.Olivia watched carefully. Ensig was right. It was the kindness of the leader that the leader was willing to treat the aborigines as equals, but Olivia cared more about whether they could be called human beings at all.The icons scrolled rapidly, and Ensger explained seriously beside him.

"According to the comparison, the Sira natives have integrated a variety of familiar human genes, including Latin, Celtic, Germanic and Mongolian races, as well as a small amount of Negro genes, showing a mixed state and There are differences in hair color and skin color in the offspring. It is interesting that their neural units and physical abilities are generally more developed than those on Earth, which may be caused by the environment. Although I can’t understand what is going on with the evolution of Sira’s species, there is no doubt , they are genetically human, not fundamentally different from us."

Olivia nodded, accepted the result and added: "The leader once had a guess that the natives of Sira were not the natives of the planet, but immigrants who appeared in an unconventional way. Contacting the Brotherhood can help Coming here from the earth, is it possible that this is a junction of time and space?"

"Space-time?" Ensig denied. "It's unreasonable to assume in terms of space-time, General. We know very little about the realm of zero, but there is an argument worth exploring, namely, whether we are still in the universe we used to be, the dimension we used to be." Among them? Although the space telescope has not been launched yet, and I am not an astronomer, the astrology of this world cannot find matching data in our database...I urgently hope that we can conduct space research as soon as possible..."

"Let's put down the space research first, which is also part of the external development plan." Olivia waved his hand, signaling him to stop unreasonable associations, "Continue, it is a good result to confirm that the natives are also human beings, and what about the orcs, they What is it? It grows out of the soil?"

Ensig laughed. He controlled the laboratory's operating table to arrange the specimens of a giant worm, a slave and an orc separately, and pulled out a DNA illustration of the aborigines.

"A dark secret, a crazy hypothesis has been uncovered by me, how interesting, I would love to meet this colleague if I can... Hehe..." He smiled, but noticed the look in Olivia's eyes He became sharper, and immediately changed his words to make a painful reprimand.

"Such depraved research! I feel very contemptuous of this. Scientific research should be aimed at progress and should serve a higher ideal. But these degenerates...General, the genes of orcs have a lot of artificial modification Traces, although there are many mutations of varying degrees, the conclusion is clear."

"Based on hard labor, these lizard-like species may be the original appearance of the native orcs. Some people have added 20.00% of the rock worm genes and 40.00% of the human genes... Therefore, the orcs are a brand new species that has been reconciled There is no doubt that they were manufactured by some people with ulterior motives, as weapons, or other? More information is needed to prove this.”

"It seems that the leader's conjecture is correct." Olivia fell into deep thought, and Ensig beside him was also operating the equipment. Once the orc blood was sampled, it was placed in a centrifuge, and the blood was separated in a short while. Produce a variety of samples.A probe sticks into a vial, drawing out a viscous liquid that glows fluorescent.

Olivia put all the causes and effects together, like a huge jigsaw puzzle, the key corners of which have been filled in, and only one cause and a little detail are missing.So she asked Ensger more questions, including the crucial one—how orcs reproduce.

"Orcs don't have the natural ability to reproduce, General." Ensig's news was very explosive, "Orcs can be simply compared to mules, whose chromosomes are self-contradictory and unable to reproduce, but the higher their level, the more stable their genes, but even so, Their birth also requires a mother with stable genes, and the chromosomes also determine that the orcs are only male."

"General, the female orc you faced underground...that's not an orc, it's a transformed human female. Although I doubt that orcs can master such cutting-edge technology, in fact, the genetic difference between female orcs and humans is only 17.00% , these individuals will always be in pain due to rejection, and their adrenaline is excessively secreted... Such a transformation is irreversible, and killing them is an act of mercy..."

All the clues matched - Olivia remained completely calm after listening to Ensig's explanation, and it was still the same as the leader's speculation, but now there was definite evidence.So she signaled Ernst to stop the endless technical analysis and turn to a more pragmatic aspect——

"It's only a matter of time before these blasphemous aliens and the creators behind them will be completely sanctioned," she said. "Have your research found a more effective way to deal with them?"

"It's no different, orcs are just stronger life forms, and ordinary weapons are effective. If you want me to look at it from a military perspective...what? Genetic targets? It's not that easy, general, orcs Most of the genes of humans overlap, and the gene virus that is effective for orcs will also be effective for humans, and to develop a targeted virus from the beginning, at this time...you may not be very interested, hehe..."

Olivia asked several questions one after another, but couldn't get the answer she wanted, and couldn't help feeling disappointed.She had no choice but to give up and retreat: "Give me a copy of the complete file, and I will compile a file for my soldiers."

"It has been transmitted to you, General. I believe this will greatly boost the fighting spirit of your soldiers." Ensig saluted Olivia, and then changed the topic.

"General, since you are not interested in other studies, the leader also asked me to give you this gift on his behalf, a gift you once asked for..."

------

Two hundred kilometers away from the base is already close to the sea.The continent of Thira has a vast coastline. After the war began, there were never a few refugees drifting on the sea. Unfortunately, except for the southeast coast, there was no island that could be used to give them a foothold.

On the dark sea, a destroyer is anchored.Perhaps in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy, there were no lights on the ship, and it was pitch black and looked no different from a ghost ship.

In one of the cabins, a group of soldiers were sleeping with Jia, snoring one after another, but was interrupted by a rough door opening.

"Winston, Harold! And Cole, wake me up, we have a mission!"

Chapter 44 The Long Night

I don't know what happened to Olivia.

Li De intends to return to the base to take a look at the situation, but he also needs to concentrate here, and he can only hope that she and En Sige will not have too much conflict... After all, there is always a sense of shame in making that decision. The feeling in the head is unreliable no matter how you look at it.

So he finally issued an order to Olivia about the security government's reconnaissance team, and then collected his energy to deal with the current situation.The nocturnal bat had already been forced back by himself, and the ground of this dilapidated factory building was covered with black corpses.Except for the homeless people who suffered from the impact of infrasound waves, fortunately there was only one injured person, and the result was satisfactory.

"You're back...God, you're fine."

Li De stepped on the support frame of the factory building, dexterously climbed onto the beams, and finally landed lightly.Dom was the first to meet him. He wiped his nosebleed and looked him up and down. He was surprised to find that Reed was unscathed except for a little scrape on his breastplate and coat.

"Of course, I won't do anything I'm not sure about." He exchanged a few words with Dom, and looked at the other homeless people, who were busy helping the injured person. Occasionally, people who passed by bowed their heads to Li De. In respect, say a word of thanks.

"Without the light source you gave us, we wouldn't even have a chance to reach the mine." Dom said, the signal stick in his hand was still shining brightly.Jin Mingyang came with other members of Team D and expressed his thanks to Li De. He didn't ask about Li De's adventures like Dom, but asked him how he got rid of these nocturnal bats at the right time.

"These things are very dangerous at night, and we have no better way to deal with them... Sir, if you are willing to share this secret, I would like to thank you on behalf of the security government. This will save countless lives."

Jin Mingyang said seriously, Li De glanced at him with great interest, as if he was thinking about something——

"Second Lieutenant, you are a good soldier, and you are right. This can indeed save countless lives." Li De said, "Although I can speak to you on behalf of our Brotherhood, I am curious whether you can represent your government."

Li De immediately threw a blockbuster, which was no less powerful than another stun grenade, and it exploded among several soldiers.Apart from the calm and composed Dom, Frank and Carmin took a step back, and Jin Mingyang also showed his original expression. He was a little nervous: "Brotherhood? Mr. Li De, you are indeed a member of an organization, and now you are finally willing to reveal your identity?"

"I didn't hide it, second lieutenant." Li De and the second lieutenant looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were also retracted, and the whole person became... awe-inspiring.The consciousness projector diffused slightly, invisibly creating an unspeakable pressure in the hearts of the surrounding soldiers.

They have never experienced this kind of pressure when facing their superiors. Although Li De in front of him is as tall as them, he somehow feels like a giant that they need to look up to.Jin Mingyang felt sweat dripping from his forehead, and his body was extremely cold.

But fortunately, it was only for a short moment, and Li De turned off the projector.He said slowly: "I know your government's attitude towards this kind of thing, Lieutenant, I... In other words, the Brotherhood doesn't want to conflict with you, at least not right now."

"Military regulations regardless of mission, Lieutenant...we're collaborating," Frank whispered, and Dom stopped him.

He said indifferently: "As long as we can deal with the orcs, what does these things matter? After the incident, didn't we join forces with UIR?"

"So, Lieutenant, you didn't let that little robot record this time, did you?" Li De glanced lightly at the open space behind them. Wei'an's stealth technology and Brotherhood are not the same thing, they are using the backward light quantum invisibility Technology is still the most basic, and it is difficult to cover even a square meter. Although it can deceive the vision, electromagnetic radiation cannot cover it.

Jin Mingyang and the others were a little embarrassed, but Li De didn't seem to care about it. At this moment, a pleasantly surprised voice broke the deadlock—"Li De, you're still alive!"

Undoubtedly it was Anna, the girl was concerned about whether she was injured as soon as she came up.With red eyes, she kept apologizing to Li De, they had to close the door, and the latter comforted him for a while, expressing that they were actually doing the right thing.

Li De began to doubt whether this had something to do with his use of the consciousness projector. This little girl who was a homeless person probably had a wrong judgment on herself because of the suspension bridge effect, right?Sorry then, I won't be with you for long.

This crisis is now over for the time being.Soldiers' questioning went unanswered, and people didn't want to be in the lobby.They simply cleaned up in the room inside the mine and prepared to rest. They were exhausted after a day of escaping their lives.During this period, Li De also communicated with Brown about the route, and asked some more information about the fearless man, but the old man didn't know.

After this incident, the homeless people's attitude towards themselves has changed a lot, and their first goal has finally been achieved.The rest of the security guards... Li De felt that besides Dom, he had no interest in anything else.

"Li De, don't you take a break?" Anna was obviously in a much better mood. She came out of the room to signal, and Li De shook his head.

"You go to sleep, I'll do it in the lobby, I can watch a shift for you." He said, sitting on the ground against the wall, and put the peace envoy on his lap.Anna wanted to say something, but she still didn't make a sound. After standing for a while, she walked into the room.

It's a quiet night, and I don't know how many people can't sleep well, or spend it in nightmares.Of course Li De didn't need to rest. He sat on the ground with his eyes closed, his mind wandering across the quantum matrix in the wilderness and the base.At this time, Olivia was still talking to Ensig in the lab... Well, there was no conflict between them.

He began to pay attention to the construction of the base again. No matter how the watchman judged, in line with the principle of not turning Sira into the second Tiberium world, he still asked the host to restrict the spread of the mining area. At least, let the Tiberium Beria does not grow faster than the Brotherhood mines.

When he was immersed in the sea of ​​[-] trillion data, the body sent a warning that someone was approaching.

Li De opened his eyes and turned his head to look. In this dark night, it was Dom who appeared.

He greeted Li De first: "I'm here to guard the first shift... Anyway, I can't let you stay overnight, can I?"

Li De smiled, and stretched out his hand to signal Dom to sit next to him.He was not polite, this big soldier was half a head taller than Li De when he sat down, he looked around the room carefully, and lowered his voice: "Li De, I came out by myself, it has nothing to do with the captain...they don't want to go Court martial, do you understand?"

PS: I went out on Sunday to do some business 0.0, the update is late, there will be another chapter later, I will not stop updating today.

Chapter 45 The only wish

Li De took a closer look at Dom, and it seemed that this simple and honest soldier was not lying.But it doesn't matter, Li De doesn't mind such small details.

Who doesn't have a little secret?

"Please forgive me, our regulations are very strict. Even now, even if the supply of ammunition is insufficient, it is illegal to use orc weapons. The higher-ups want us to do something impossible." Dom complained first. Is your own government trying to use this to get closer to you?

"But you still made it impossible." Li De said seriously, without a single lie, "No matter what I think of your government, I always admire you soldiers who stick to their posts. Without your heroic fighting, Then there would be no hope for mankind."

As he said that, Li De took out a stun grenade from his backpack and handed it to Dom: "I won't explain the effect of this thing? It's not that I don't want to tell your colleagues. trouble."

"Take it, it's best to use it on this trip, don't take it back."

Dom looked around and exclaimed, "It's completely different from the one we used. It's such an advanced thing." He didn't thank him either, and after accepting the grenade, he continued to pursue the previous question.

"Li De, you said you didn't want to hide anything, but you still didn't say anything after all. Why?" The tough guy cut to the chase, "I think your fraternity... seems to have a lot of energy, why have I never I heard about you, neither Vian nor UIR, have you been dormant underground during the pendulum war?"

"UIR? You can really think, Dom." Li De smiled, and at the same time he was thinking about how to answer him, "Dom, remember what I said? If there is such a place, safe and full, you Will you go?"

Dom froze for a moment, thought for a while and then smiled wryly: "I couldn't believe it before, but now... I can't let go of my responsibilities. No matter what our government is, there are still tens of thousands of people in Jacinto, I'm a soldier, I can't run away."

"Well said, Dom, I'm sure I read you right." Li De admired Dom's words, "But what if our Brotherhood can also protect those 10 people?"

"..." Dom looked at Li De, but found that Li De didn't seem to be joking, "If you are so capable, then you must be aliens... Damn it, you won't really Is it an alien?!"

Yo, my friend, you guessed it right, that's right, I'm from Earth—of course Li De couldn't say that, he smiled exaggeratedly: "Hahaha...not that amazing, Dom, but it's a pity, I really can’t tell you the origin of the organization. But I can tell you the truth, I’m not joking, our energy is beyond your imagination... Hey, don’t be so excited!”

Li De finally held down the excited Dom, and this buddy kept asking: "Where are you from? Are you also dealing with orcs? Why haven't you seen you make a move after so many years... Wait, what happened yesterday It's you, where is your army? In the sky?"

"Also, are you human?"

A series of questions were thrown out, and Li De was a little overwhelmed. "I understand your excitement, Dom. Also, we're human, and I promise we're not here to deal with you. Calm down, okay? Although it's a bit far from the room, you're likely to let them hear it."

Li De pointed to the closed room more than ten meters away, and Dom calmed down.He took a breath, and there were countless questions running in his mind, and the key to answering all these was right in front of him, and he had to restrain himself with great willpower.

"Since we are all dealing with orcs, it will be much easier." Dom hesitated for a long time, "Li De, I can see that you are here to carry out the mission, right? It's the same as us, but you are not an ordinary soldier. In your government, what class of officials are you? But you look much younger than me."

"Don't judge your age by your appearance, Dom." Li De was a human being, except for the ordinary people before time travel, he has also lived in the CNC world for nearly 30 years, age is meaningless to him.But Dom directly took this sentence as a default, he took out a photo from his bag, and handed it to Li De.

It was Dom. When he was very young, his face was not so weathered.Next to him is a very beautiful woman, and they smile at the camera together, looking warm and beautiful.

The photo has been severely aged, faded and old, and it looks old, but it has been cherished... The face of this tough guy who would not frown in the face of swords and fires was full of sadness. He whispered: "This is My wife, Maria, was photographed 15 years ago, when the pendulum wars were coming to an end...”

"Your wife is very beautiful." Li De returned the photo to Dom, and he pretended not to know, "What's wrong with her?"

"She disappeared, ten years ago..." He slowly told Li De everything, and Dom's voice was low and slightly choked, "The orcs appeared, and I sent her to Jacinto. On the refugee bus, but our children, my two children are at my grandfather's house, and I can't make it in time..."

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have given up my vacation, I should have picked them up sooner. My wife was devastated, she disappeared ten years ago, and she wanted to find her son... I've been looking, never Give up, but I am one step late every time, the last news I know is that she followed a team of homeless people to nowhere."

At this time, Dom grabbed Li De's hand: "Li De, if what you said is true, then I beg you, I...I can't repay you, but I am willing to give everything, just ask your brotherhood to help My favor, help me find her, this is my only wish."

When Dom said these words, what Li De saw was no longer the strong soldier, but a sad husband.Emotionally, Li De wanted to agree to him right away, but he had to wait.

Li De sighed, and Dom's face was also stagnant. At this moment, Li De said: "I don't ask you to give everything, Dom. But I must tell you, you Vian can't rub the sand in your eyes, we will help you." For this favor, you will definitely pay the corresponding price in the future, so you have to think about it carefully."

"I don't care what you do, as long as you can really find Maria, even if I'm hanged... Ugh!"

Li De suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed Dom's temple, a tiny probe stretched out between his thumbs, pierced into Dom's skin, and injected a micron-scale chip into the subcortex.Dom felt a sting, and Reed took his hand away.

"What did you do?" He touched his temple and felt a foreign object there, which didn't hurt or itch.

"A subcutaneous transceiver driven by bioelectricity, it won't hurt you." He motioned Dom to hold his temple, and immediately Reed's voice rang directly in his brain through bioelectricity.

"Mr. Dom, the contract is now in effect. I don't need to say anything about today's conversation, you should know the seriousness. Just now you may have violated dozens of military regulations of the security, enough to hang you. Don't try Reveal our information, the strength of the Brotherhood is beyond your imagination."

"Oh, by the way, don't worry about it being seized by your government. This transceiver can only receive messages passively, but I can know your location through it. Of course, we will help you find your wife, too. One day I'll pass the message on to you, and you'll know what to do then."

Chapter 46 The Two Sides of the Departure

After Dom left, Li De stood guard in the hall all night.

Someone came out every hour for a shift change, and after what happened to Dom he wasn't interested in talking to anyone anymore.Li De closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and turned his mind to deal with the affairs of the base.Most of the people didn't bother him, except for a dazed look, and Kamin ran over and chirped and asked himself how to use the Peacemaker sword, and if he could borrow it for fun.

"You'd better figure out how to prevent the gun from jamming, recruit!"

"My family has been in the army for generations, my brother..." Kamin protested, and Li De immediately turned him back.

"Then why did your gun jam?!"

"How do you know it...."

After teaching him a lesson, Li De personally demonstrated how to maintain the cavalry rifle.The magazine of this gun is very large, but the bolt is easy to get stuck when shooting at high speed, and it needs to be reset manually. The reason is that the quality of the rifle parts is too rough and rushed.But excluding this point, in general, the cavalry rifle is still a well-designed weapon. The world’s more than 70 years of battles have not been fought in vain. Many designs have reference significance for the light weapons of the Brotherhood.
