Chapter 596

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

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

Fortunately, Rome, the capital of Italy, was not seriously damaged in the disaster of that year. So the lucky people who survived the cataclysm gathered in this city. In that dark period of order collapse, the Catholic Church of the Vatican became the spiritual pillar in people's hearts. The church also took out all its savings to help the survivors through the dark ages. 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 scheduling institution. This is true of Chaochu. Under the unified control of the papal chamber, resources are used to the greatest extent. People built a more magnificent underground city under the old site of Rome. This city named new Rome reposes the hope of countless people.

In the center of the New Roman city stands an image of God, which can be seen in any corner of the city. As the only true God of the Catholic Trinity, the merciful God is looking after the new holy city with merciful eyes. The statue is not only the symbol of new Rome, but also the location of papal hall. Just behind the square where the statue is located is a baroque church. This church is completely modeled after 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 the people of new Rome.

Twenty years after the cataclysm was the most glorious golden age of new Rome. Papal office is committed to the research and development of genetic engineering, trying to improve the physical fitness of the survivors of the cataclysm and solve all the problems left behind by radiation pollution. With the emergence of water purification plants and genetic food, survival is no longer an urgent problem.

After that, the first army in the papal chamber was set up.

The order of the signet is made up of dedicated believers who are sufficiently central to the papal chamber. They have been trained and vowed 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 changelings and living corpses near new Rome and made indelible contributions to the expansion of the papal hall.

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

If everything goes as usual, new Rome will become a paradise like Eden. But just 15 years ago, general Solon, the head of the order of the signet, launched a mutiny, removing Pope Paul V at that time and pushing Paul VI, who was only five years old, into politics. But in fact, it was general soron who was behind the scenes.

After Solon took power, the papal hall began to deteriorate. Paul VI's second year in office, the establishment of the inquisition, who dare to question Solon's voice will eventually disappear in the inquisition. These people were beaten in the name of heresy and burned, so the New Roman city began to reproduce the dark period of the middle ages.

The dawn is still at an end, and the darkness continues to spread. After Solon took power, he didn't care whether the residents of new Rome were well or not. He was more concerned about how to satisfy his ambition. All the laboratories of genetic engineering were shut down one after another, and all the scientific and technological forces were put into the research of power armor and other war weapons. It has to be said that the belligerent nature of human beings has been fully developed in this field.

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

The round table knights of the three generations are all war puppets. They are ten meters high and equipped with Vulcan guns, guided missiles, electric Knight spears and alloy tower shields. There are 13 round table knights, of which the special model named King Arthur is the car of Sauron, and its weapon power and performance are more powerful than other round table knights.

In the past five years, the fourth generation of armored air angels are in the research and development stage. This is a kind of unmanned power armor, which is remotely controlled by the driver through intelligent brain. Air Angel power armor is mainly used for reconnaissance, and can also be used to transport miniature nuclear bombs when needed. But so far, the air angel has not been put into actual combat, and it is estimated that there is still a considerable distance from the production line.At the same time, because of the disgust of Solon's high handed policy, the rebel forces gradually appeared in the New Roman city. However, the rebel forces can not be compared with the papal hall in terms of number and weapons, but they are very popular, so they are supported by the residents of new Rome city and some senior officials in the papal Hall who are dissatisfied with Sauron.

Despite several large-scale military operations by the papal chamber, the anti rebel forces are as dead as a hundred legged insects. Every time Solon thought that he had got rid of the trouble, but soon they would linger on the edge of the papal hall, which made Solon very upset.

The new era is an era of capability, 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 capability. In short, there are not many capable people in the papal hall army. On the mainland of China, the fourth-order powers are only the soldiers of the middle and senior ranks of giants such as the hall of souls or the dark Council. But in the order of the seal in the papal hall, the fourth level can already serve as captain. And the higher-level point can even be competent for such an important task. As for Solon himself, he was only a nine step master, and he was the only nine step master in the whole new Roman city, and he had his own domain.

There are not many people in the papal hall, but they make up for this deficiency by means of science and technology. On the contrary, among the rebel forces that have little technological support, the proportion of capable people is higher than that of the knights in the papal hall. For this reason, the rebel forces have been able to survive until now.

Perhaps aware of this deficiency, the papal chamber has also begun research on gene and biochemistry. Not long ago, the rebels received a definite message from the top of the papal hall. Solon is carrying out a top secret research in several secret bases on the western continent, and the object of research seems to be some kind of life in the last era. The organism is said to have genes that are close to but much more powerful than humans. Solon's goal is to decipher the genetic code of this organism and make his soldiers possess this super gene.

Once Solon is successful, he not only has a strong armored force, but also has the strength of an assembly line producer. When that happens, it's the end of the rebellion. Therefore, after receiving the news, the rebel forces quickly organized an operation to destroy the study, thus causing a substantial blow to soron.

Just east of the city of new Rome, on the edge of the continent lies a small town. This is a small town called Mota. Most of its residents live by fishing. Of course, they can't go to the deep sea like the old fishermen. In fact, the fishermen in Mota can only fish in the relatively calm bay nearby. And the 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 ornaments, while the latter is used to study the ecological changes in the radiation 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 lies in a top secret life research project. The code name of the project is "beast", which is also the nickname of the experimental body.

Three years ago, air Angel drone a accidentally found the wreckage of a spaceship lying deep underground. I don't know what happened before. The Space Angel found that the remnant was badly damaged. It even seemed that it was just some large parts. The conclusion of the spaceship was based on some images put together by Gabriel after the papal hall collected all the remnant.

In that experiment, the remains obtained by the papal hall did not have much effect, but the hull armor was of great research value, so it was used as the material model of the fifth generation conceptual armor. In addition to these horrors, the sky angel also found more than twenty elliptical metal objects. When they were returned, the papal chamber confirmed that it was a device similar to a hibernation barn.

They forcibly demolished one of the hibernation silos and got the beast. The beast is its code name, or his code name, as well as the code name of the whole genetic engineering. Papal hall has found extremely strong cells in the body of wild animals. If it can decipher the gene code in these cells, then papal hall can formally put the "angel Legion" plan on the agenda.

For a long time, a kind of human weapon with no emotion and strong combat effectiveness proposed by Solon is another research topic of papal hall after the power mecha. Led by Dr. Jane lockchev, who has considerable authority in biochemistry and genetics, it is not easy to implement this "angel corps" project. In terms of emotion, it's easy to deal with. Before that, there had been operations to remove pain nerves for wounded soldiers. Later, in order to facilitate the fight, almost every fighter of the signet order has received the implantation of pain masking elements, making them fearless warriors.

As long as this kind of nerve shielding element is improved, soldiers' emotions can be completely covered, and they can be turned into emotionless killing machines. However, according to Solon's vision, the soldiers of the angel Legion have at least five to six levels of ability on average. 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 army, it will be only a thousand people. Moreover, the use of emotional masking can turn the capable into loyal and obedient killing weapons, but at the same time, it will erase their potential to continue to evolve, which is more or less not worth the loss.The appearance of the beast gave hope to the stranded project. Researchers found a series of data in the cells extracted from the beast. His metabolism is more than 20 times of that of ordinary people, his cell activity is 12 times of that of normal people, and his basic strength and body strength have reached the level of sixth order strengthening. But most importantly, his cells have the ability to transform other organisms.

In one experiment, researchers injected cells from him into a mouse. This mouse immediately had a mutation. Its body size expanded rapidly. Its teeth and claws were about four or five times sharper than those of its normal counterparts, and its strength improved a lot. But soon, the mouse had a genetic breakdown and died.

Since then, the research team led by Jane has been working on how to completely transplant the cells in the beast into the ordinary soldiers, so as to transform them into strong soldiers. However, the collapse of the cells of wild animals due to mutual exclusion after the transformation of organisms has not been solved. Therefore, this research has been delayed for three years, during which the number of soldiers and civilians who secretly died in the experiment has reached an alarming number.

In order to cover up the death toll, so as not to bring panic after the exposure. The papal chamber decided to move the animals, and the subjects were mainly refugees in the wilderness. The research base in Mota town was secretly built a year ago for the purpose of further research on wild animals, and it was only recently put into use.

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

"I'm gone. I'm here for you." I waved the tablet brain in my hand, as people before said.

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 we are not allowed to go out even outside the base. It's driving me crazy to stay here. "

"As long as the problem of the big man behind you can be solved, we are not far away from going home."

"Is it that easy? If this problem is so easy to solve, we won'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, and 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 tired.

Maybe nothing in the end? He thought so, and then put his legs on the workbench, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Why don't you sleep? There's no entertainment in the base.

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

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

Except for some cellular differences.

For example, the cells that are far stronger than ordinary human beings, and the trifoliate crystals in the front of the forehead, which have no function. Now, there are three lights in the incubator. The culture medium changed from calm to bubbling, and then to boiling. As the data on the computer screen on the workbench soared and was about to reach a critical point, all the lights in the laboratory flashed.

With two more red lights in the incubator, two scarlet flames of energy burst on the incubator. The culture tank could not last even one second, then it burst into pieces, and a large amount of green medium poured out from the damaged gap. In this waterfall like torrent, a pair of huge fists stretched out, and a few fists enlarged the gap of the cultivation tank. Then the tall figure jumped to the ground and stood upright.

Awakened by the computer alarm and the sudden rupture of the incubator, the researcher fell to the ground in a hurry and looked up to see him. In the constant flicker of light, the researchers saw the perfect body. This body is full of rigidity and wildness, as if it has endless power. Because it is too tall, the light source of his face and back forms backlight. But on the unclear face, on the brow, there was a trilobal light. When he looked at it like this, he let the giant named beast have one or two distractions.

At this time, the alarm was heard. The automatic door of the laboratory opened, two Paladins rushed in, but they were met by two scorching death rays. Researchers on the ground clearly saw that the two blood red energy beams spewed out from the beast's eyes, and the red flame stream spewed out more than ten meters away. With the swing of the beast's head, it easily crossed the two Paladins. After two scorched marks of Mars appeared on the chest of the mecha, the mecha exploded into two fireballs in the roar. The strong shock wave swept the whole laboratory, lifted the researchers up, and then hit the computer screen behind them. When the hapless man fell to the ground, he had been knocked unconscious.
