Chapter 600

In the west of Zhongzhou, across the endless sea of radiation, through the "abyss gate" of the huge vortex between the two continents, you will reach another continent, Xizhou continent.

The area of Xizhou continent is only one third of that of Zhongzhou. At the time of the catastrophe, the Eurasian plate, one of the original six continental plates, split into two. One of them was carried away by disordered ocean currents and eventually went deep into the trench. The sinking of the plate had a great impact on the ocean current, and finally formed the door of the huge vortex abyss that had disappeared for decades. The only remaining plate survived and became today's western continent.

In the disaster of that year, Rome, the capital of Italy, fortunately did not suffer serious damage. So the lucky humans in the catastrophe gathered in this city. In the dark period of the collapse of order, the Catholic Church of the Vatican became the spiritual pillar in people's hearts. The church also spent all its savings to help the survivors through the dark period. Finally, while helping the survivors find their faith, the papal hall came into being.

This was the first ruling force in the western continent. At the beginning, the papal hall only existed as a management and dispatching organization. This is true at the beginning. Under the integrated dispatching of the Pope's office, resources have been used to the greatest extent. People built a more magnificent underground city under the former site of Rome. The city called new Rome has placed the hope of countless people.

In the center of the New Roman city stands an image of God that can be seen in any corner of the city. As the only true God of the Catholic Trinity, the merciful God cares for the new holy city with compassionate eyes. This statue is not only the symbol of new Rome, but also the seat of the papal hall. Just behind the square where the statue of God is located, there is a baroque church. This church is completely modeled on St. Peter's Cathedral. It is not only the headquarters of the papal hall, but also an irreplaceable Holy Land in the hearts of all people in New Rome.

In the twenty years after the catastrophe, it was the most glorious golden period of the New Roman city. The Pope's office is committed to the research and development of genetic engineering, trying to improve the physique of the survivors of the catastrophe and solve all the problems left after they were contaminated by radiation. With the emergence of water purification plants and genetic food, survival is not an urgent problem.

After that, the first army in the papal hall was established.

The order of the holy seal is composed of believers who are full of enthusiasm and have enough Center for the papal hall. They are trained to swear that they are willing to give their blood and heart to protect the peace and tranquility of new Rome! With the support of religious belief, this army has an indestructible belief. They destroyed several strongholds of mutant animals and living corpses near new Rome and made indelible contributions to the expansion of the territory of the papal hall.

Five years later, the first generation of power armor "Paladin I" came out. This is a heavy machine using hydraulic machines and titanium armor. It is undeniable that paladin armor has incomparable powerful firepower. Therefore, after being put into use, it has also become the trump card in the holy seal order.

If everything goes on as usual, the New Roman city will become a paradise like the garden of Eden. But just 15 years ago, general Sauron, the head of the order of the holy seal, launched a rebellion, removed Pope Paul V at that time, and pushed Paul VI, who was only 5 years old, into politics. But in fact, it was general Sauron who manipulated everything behind the scenes.

After Sauron took power, the papal hall began to deteriorate. In the second year of Paul VI's tenure, the Inquisition was established. All voices that dared to question Sauron would eventually disappear in the inquisition. These people were branded heretical and burned, so the New Roman city began to reproduce the dark period of the middle ages.

The dawn still came, and the darkness continued to spread. After Solon took power, he didn't care about the residents of new Rome. He was more concerned about how to meet his ambitions. All laboratories of genetic engineering were closed one after another, and all scientific and technological forces were invested in the research of power armor and other weapons of war. It has to be said that human belligerent nature has been brought into full play in the research in this field.

Soon, the second and third generations of Knight power armor were developed one after another. Unlike the bulky armor of the first generation, the second generation Griffin Knights pay more attention to speed and flexibility. They use lighter materials and are more resistant to pressure than the first generation armor, but their weight is only one third of that of the first generation. Griffin Knights even have the ability of short-range gliding, which makes their applications more flexible and strategic.

The three generations of round table knights are completely a kind of war puppet. They are ten meters high and are equipped with Vulcan cannons, guided missiles, electric Knight spears and alloy tower shields called barrem cannons. There are 13 round table knights, of which the special model code named King Arthur is Sauron's car, which is equipped with more powerful weapons and performance than other round table knights.

In the past five years, the fourth generation armored air angel is in the research and development stage. This is a kind of driverless power armor, which is remotely controlled by the driver through his brain. Air Angel power armor is mainly used for reconnaissance. When needed, they can also serve as the transport of micro nuclear bombs. But so far, the air angel has not been put into actual combat, and there is still a considerable distance from the assembly line production.

At the same time that the papal hall made every effort to develop war weapons, rebels gradually appeared in New Rome out of disgust with Sauron's high-pressure policy. However, the rebels could not be compared with the papal hall in terms of number or weapons, but they were very popular, so they were funded by the residents of new Rome and some senior officials dissatisfied with Sauron in the papal hall.

Although the papal hall has conducted several large-scale military operations on it, the anti rebels are dead like a hundred feet. Whenever Thrawn thought he had got rid of this great trouble, but soon they would wander around the edge of the line of sight of the papal hall, which upset Thrawn.

The new era is an era of ability, but the Pope's office does not know whether it pays too much attention to the research and development of science and technology, but ignores the development of ability. In short, there are not many of their abilities in the army of the papal hall. In mainland China, the fourth order capable people are just middle and senior soldiers of giants such as the hall of the spirit or the dark Council. But in the order of the holy seal in the papal hall, those with level 4 ability can already hold the position of captain. And higher-level points can even be competent for the important task of sub head. As for Solon, he is only a ninth rank, and the only ninth rank in the whole new Roman city, and has his own exclusive field.

The papal hall is not very capable, but it has made up for this deficiency by means of science and technology. On the contrary, among the rebels who do not have much scientific and technological support, the proportion of capable people is higher than that of the knights in the papal hall. For this reason, the rebels have been able to survive until now.

Perhaps noting this deficiency, the Pope's office has also begun research on gene biochemistry. Not long ago, the rebels got a definite message from the top of the papal hall. Sauron is conducting a top secret study in several secret bases on the western continent, and the object of the study seems to be some kind of life in the last era. The creature is said to have genes that are close to humans but much more powerful. Sauron's goal is to crack the genetic code of this life and make his soldiers have this super gene.

Once Sauron succeeds, he not only has a strong armored force, but also has the strength of assembly line production capacity. It will be the end of the rebels. Therefore, after receiving the news, the rebels quickly organized an operation to destroy the study and deal a substantive blow to Solon.

Just east of new Rome, on the corner of western continent, there is a small town. In this small town called Mota, most of its residents make a living by fishing. Of course, they can't go to the deep sea like fishermen in the old times. In fact, Mota fishermen can only fish in the relatively calm bay nearby. The mutant fish they caught were not used for food, but sold to merchants or biological research institutions in New Rome. The former is sold to the rich as ornamental decorations, while the latter is used to study the ecological changes in the radiation sea area.

Fishermen, boats, fishing nets, strange creatures in the sea, these are the impression of the town to outsiders. But few people know that there is a secret base underground in the town. The significance of the base is to carry out a top secret life research plan. The code name of the plan is "beast", which is also the nickname of the experimental body.

Three years ago, the Space Angel unmanned aerial vehicle a accidentally found the wreckage of a spaceship lying deep underground. I don't know what happened before. The remnant horror found by the air angel was seriously damaged, and even seemed to be just some large parts. The conclusion of the spacecraft was deduced from some images put together by the intelligent brain "Gabriel" after the Pope's Hall collected all the remnant horror.

In that experiment, the wreckage obtained by the papal hall did not play much role, but the hull armor was of great research value, so it was studied as the material model of the fifth generation concept armor. In addition to these remnants, the empty angel also found more than 20 oval metal objects. After these things were brought back, the papal hall confirmed that it was a device similar to a hibernation chamber.

They forcibly demolished one of the hibernation warehouses, so they got the "beast". Beast is its or his code name, and it is also the code name of the whole genetic engineering. The Pope's office has found extremely powerful cells in the beast's body. If we can decipher the genetic code in these cells, the Pope's office can officially put the envisaged "angel Legion" plan on the agenda.

For a long time, a human weapon with no emotion and strong combat effectiveness proposed by Sauron is another research topic of the papal hall after the power armor. It is presided over by Dr. Jane lockchev, who has considerable authority in biochemistry and genetics, but the implementation of the "angel corps" plan is not easy. Emotionally, it's easy to deal with. Before that, there was an operation to remove the pain nerves for the injured soldiers. Later, in order to facilitate the battle, almost every soldier of the holy seal order had undergone the implantation of pain masking elements, making them fearless warriors.

As long as this nerve shielding element is improved, it can completely mask the feelings of soldiers and turn them into emotionless killing machines. However, according to Solon's assumption, the soldiers of the angel Legion have an average of at least five to six levels of ability. This is a difficult problem. We should know that there are not many capable people in the papal hall. If the capable people are forcibly recruited to form an angel legion, there are only a thousand people. Moreover, the use of emotional masking will turn the capable into loyal and obedient killing weapons, but it will also erase their potential to continue to evolve, which is a little more than worth the loss.

The emergence of the beast gave hope to the stranded plan. Researchers found a series of data in the cells extracted from the beast. His metabolism is more than 20 times that of ordinary humans, his cell activity is 12 times that of normal humans, and his basic strength and body strength have reached the level of sixth order strengthening. But most importantly, his cells have the function of transforming other organisms.

In one experiment, researchers injected cells extracted from him into a mouse. The mouse immediately mutated, its body expanded rapidly, its teeth and claws were about four or five times sharper than normal, and its strength was also improved a lot. But soon, the mouse had a genetic collapse and died.

Since then, the research team headed by Jane has devoted itself to how to completely transplant the cells in the beast into ordinary soldiers, so as to transform them into strong soldiers. However, the collapse of beast cells due to mutual exclusion after transforming organisms has not been solved. Therefore, this research has been delayed for three years, during which an appalling number of soldiers and civilians died secretly in the experiment.

In order to cover up the death toll and avoid panic after exposure. The papal hall decided to transfer the wild animals, and the subjects were mainly refugees in the wilderness. The research base under Mota town was secretly built a year ago for the continued research of wild animals and was only recently put into use.

Central laboratory, which is heavily encrypted and protected by Paladin mecha. Two staff members are doing routine data recording on a culture tank. One of them took out an information recording chip from the instrument under the culture tank and inserted it into the slot of his flat brain. The brain immediately automatically read the data and updated the relevant information database. After all this, the man put the chip back to automatically store all the data in the culture tank.

"I'm gone, please here." waved the tablet brain in my hand, and people before said so.

The remaining one showed a helpless expression and said, "I really hope to go back to new Rome. We have been here for nearly seven months and are not allowed to go out even outside the base. Staying here is driving me crazy."

"As long as the big man behind you can solve his problems, we won't be far from going home."

"Is it that easy? If this problem is so easy to solve, we don't have to go all the way to this town."

"Stop complaining and work hard."

Then there was the sound of the automatic door opening. When it closed again, there was only one researcher on duty in the laboratory. It was late at night. He sighed and sat in front of the computer. Looking at the data on the screen almost unchanged from three years ago, the researchers felt a burst of fatigue.

Maybe you won't get anything in the end? He thought so, then put his legs on the workbench and slept with his eyes closed. Why don't you sleep? There's no entertainment at the base.

But he didn't know that after he slept, the data on the screen began to change slightly but continuously.

In the culture tank, there is a huge figure in the green medium. This is a giant, at least three meters tall and strong, which is comparable to a paladin mecha. He has a human body and looks like a bigger man on earth. In fact, he as like as two peas in human body, from body structure to visceral tissue.

Except for some cell differences.

For example, the cells that are much stronger than ordinary human beings, and the crystals of the anterior three lobes of the forehead, which do not know what role they play. Now, there are three lights in the incubator. From the original calm to rising bubbles, and then to the final boiling state. As the data on the computer screen on the workbench soared and reached a critical point, all the lights in the laboratory flashed.

Then there are two more red lights in the culture tank, and then two scarlet energy flames are sprayed on the culture tank. The culture tank could not hold for one second, and then it burst into pieces, gushing a large amount of green medium from the damaged gap. In this torrent pouring like a waterfall, a pair of huge fists stretched out, and a few fists expanded the gap of the culture tank. Then the tall figure jumped to the ground and stood upright.

Awakened by the alarm of the computer and the sudden rupture of the incubator, the researcher hurriedly fell to the ground and saw him when he looked up again. The researchers saw the perfect body under the flashing light. This body is full of rigidity and wildness, as if it has endless power. Because it is too tall, his face and the light source behind him form a backlight. But on the unclear face, there was a trilobal light on the eyebrows. When looking at it like this, it makes the giant codenamed beast so distracted.

At this time, an alarm was heard. The automatic door of the laboratory opened, and two Paladin mecha rushed in, but they were greeted by two hot death rays. The researchers on the ground clearly saw that the two blood red energy beams spewed out from the beast's eyes, and the red flame spewed out more than ten meters away. With the swing of the beast's head, it easily crossed the two Paladin mecha. When two scorched black traces of Mars appeared on the chest of the mecha, in the roar, the mecha exploded into two fireballs. A strong shock wave swept the whole laboratory, lifted the researchers up and hit the computer screen behind. When the unlucky man fell to the ground, he was stunned.
