The car finally stopped in front of a building with a metal outer wall, which is nearly ten stories high and six sided. At the top of the building is a statue of an unknown flower, and below it is a line of "the abundance of the tower", which means the tower of abundance.
"This is our command building, Mr. Franklin. Come in, please As he jumped out of the car, wulson made a gesture of invitation like a gentleman.
Frank got out of the car, followed wulson, olan and Jesse into the tower of abundance. As soon as you enter the lobby on the first floor of the building, you can see the busy scene of Fu. There are staff running back and forth in the lobby. They even see wulson, and they have no time to say hello. Just a curious glance at Franklin, they went on their own.
"Don't mind, we're always busy," wulson said with a smile. No way. After all, our opponent is a huge empire. Anyway, our time is always tight. So we have a saying that only when you die will you have time to rest. "
"Very philosophical." Franklin nodded.
"Thank you for your approval." "I'm sorry, our elevator doesn't take into account people of your height. So, we can only take the freight elevator up. "
"It doesn't matter." Franklin didn't mind. Wulson then took him out of the direction of the freight elevator, but the width of the freight elevator is enough, but the height still can't let Franklin stand, so the giant can only sit on the ground with his knees crossed. When he got to the 10th floor, he accidentally bumped into the top of the freight elevator when he stood up, which made the freight elevator shake and made the elevator operator pale.
Franklin awkwardly got out of the elevator. As he turned to apologize to the elevator operator, a woman screamed, "be careful, big man!" He turned around, but it turned out that he almost knocked down a woman pushing a pickup truck. Looking at the dry smile on Franklin's face, even the deep eyes of wulson had a smile.
"Welcome to my battle hall." Walking through a long corridor, you can see the whole rugged steel city of ISTA from the ground glass window. After the busy control room, listen to the staff inside with extremely fast speed and dazzling action to send a command to each terminal of the city. The tower of abundance is like ISTA's brain. As the command center, it is extremely busy every day, so that the whole ISTA can operate smoothly. This high efficiency enables ISTA to confront the papal chamber, and it is moving towards the strength of a country, both in industry and military.
Wulson took Franklin to the battle hall on the tower of abundance. The battle hall is called "Horizon", which shows wulson's ambition. In the horizon hall, however, it seems much quieter and colder than other places. When the two automatic doors behind you close, all the sound and light outside will be cut off. In the horizon hall, the light is relatively dim. In the center of the spacious hall, there is a holographic projection model of the continent. Centered on this model, there are three floors inside and outside, and the highest and lowest workbench. On the workbench, there are people in white uniforms quietly operating the brain in front of them. They don't turn around because of the appearance of several people in wulson. Everyone is attentively operating the brain, so countless data are generated every second.
The continental model in the hall kept making subtle adjustments, and Franklin couldn't see anything after a long time. Finally, wulson said with a faint smile: "we are simulating some data. When the results come out, it will be the time for us to declare war on the papal hall."
Franklin had a dark shock in his heart, knowing that the continental model and the staff were carrying out a general attack simulation, so as to deduce the best data. When this work is done, it's when ISTA blows the general attack horn.
Wulson takes Franklin to a private office. He is the only one left in the room. Olan and Jesse don't come in, but go to their own business. Standing in front of the French window of his office and looking out at ISTA, he said, "Mr. Franklin, you must be wondering why we pay so much attention to you. As I said before, there's no limit to your value, and soron should know that. In order to fight for you, we even planned an operation before the beginning of the general attack. Unfortunately, although that operation destroyed a research base in Solon, it missed you. It's not until now, a few months later, that we meet again. "
Franklin remembered that when he woke up at Motta base, he did know that the base had been attacked. It's just that he didn't know at the time that the rebels were attacking the base, and they came for themselves. Wulson continued: "in fact, our fight with the papal chamber has lasted for nearly a decade. ISTA has the scale and strength it has now. I don't know how many lives of our ancestors have been sacrificed, and I am just expanding its scale and strength on this basis. I don't think even soron will know that, in fact, since three years ago, we have the ability to monitor the movement of the papal chamber! "
"Of course, our intelligence system is not perfect enough to monitor the details of the papal chamber, but we can't deduce what kind of operations they are carrying out through the parameters of their personnel, materials and military mobilization. Just three years ago, we suddenly found out that the papal hall secretly used a lot of materials and troops, and a group of biochemical experts were secretly taken out of new Rome. This intelligence attracted our attention. After nearly half a year of tracking and reconnaissance, we found that the Pope's office had found a spaceship in an underground place in the western continent. "Hearing this, Franklin blurted out, "ark, they found the ark."
"Is that the ark? It seems to be a spaceship with interstellar theme
Franklin did not speak, but clenched his fist. At the end of the era of Atlantis, the war with proscius had entered a later stage. The all-round intervention of the space animals has a great impact on the environment in the earth's atmosphere, and the direct intervention of the planet will agradis has triggered a devastating disaster. The city of the sky no longer exists. The battle has spread from the sky to the surface. The only remaining spaceship carries the last hope of all Atlantis, so Franklin named it the ark.
However, just as the ark was about to leave the earth with the only hope of this era, leaving the planet that was about to die at any time, an accident happened
"Sorry, it seems to remind you of something unpleasant." With an apologetic voice, wulson brought Franklin back to reality.
The fallen man looked at him and said, "let's go back to the ark. At that time, the papal hall found it and drew a conclusion from the clues on it. This spaceship is not from outer space, but a product of the earth. That is to say, in the last era, there was a civilization far more advanced than it is now, including Mr. Franklin's twenty-seven people in neihe, all of whom had crossed two eras of life. But what's more surprising to us is that the biochemical experts in the papal chamber have found something extraordinary in you. "
"Adaptive cell!"
"Adaptive cells?" Franklin gave a wry smile: "so it's called that now."
"I don't know what you call it, Mr. Franklin?" he asked
"The blood of disaster." Franklin said lightly: "but I don't want to mention its origin. It was a very painful experience..."
Wulson nodded and said, "well, let's call it adaptive cell. This is the name given by the papal chamber laboratory. Why is it called? Dr. Jane, the chief biochemical expert of the papal chamber, found in your blood that Mr. Franklin's cells can survive in any biological environment and transform it, so that organisms can develop and change, or call it evolution! "
"However, this is just Dr. Jane's research materials published inside the papal chamber. Our intelligence experts were lucky to intercept a secret conversation between him and Solon, only to learn that adaptive cells are not so simple. It can not only stimulate the evolution and mutation of organisms, but also enable organisms to survive in any environment! If we make adaptive evolution to the current environment, we may be able to survive even in outer space, but we can't calculate the evolutionary limit of this kind of cells in terms of the limit that the papal Hall's current brain pivot array can calculate. In other words, as long as there is time, cell carriers can continue to evolve indefinitely until the end of life. And this is the greatest value of adaptive cells! "
Franklin nodded, but said in his heart, it is also the root of all disasters!
After a long breath, wulson calmed down and said, "after hearing the news, we knew we had to take Mr. Franklin over. Because as long as you are in their hands, the papal chamber will one day produce a biochemical army that can fight in any environment. We can't let that day come. "
"So now I'm invited to ISTA to make me an experimental subject?" Asked Franklin, if so, he would have no chance of cooperating with the rebels.
Wulson shook his head and said, "we'd love to have Mr. Franklin's blood sample, but we're not going to put you on the test bed like the papal hall. Here, as the leader of ISTA, I would like to invite Mr. Franklin to join us in overthrowing Sauron's tyranny
Looking at the rebel leader in front of him, Franklin shook his head: "sorry, I'm not interested in joining any team. However, we can say that we are consistent in some goals. So maybe you can listen to my terms of cooperation. "
Wulson was a little surprised, but he nodded and said, "please go ahead."
While Franklin and wulson were talking about the terms of cooperation, near pier 3, the iron scale was shaking slightly with the waves. On the bow deck, Deborah looked out at ISTA at night, and the city of steel lit up countless lights. Whether it's the flashing red lights on the buildings inside the base, or the bright light on the construction site, these lights illuminate ISTA, as if the night in the city of steel will never come.
"It's beautiful..." said Deborah.
Behind him, came the sound of gentle footsteps. Deborah didn't reply: "Biga, are you ready?"
"Ready, captain."
"Then, get to work!"Behind Deborah stood no less than 100 pirates, led by vice captain Biga, all wearing tight protective clothing. The protective clothing is black, with a light bulb sized energy node on the back of hand, shoulder socket, knee and chest. They are connected by dark yellow energy pipes, which can provide the wearer with various basic abilities. Wearing this protective suit can not only work in the strong radiation environment at sea, but also let an ordinary person experience the taste of a person with second or third level ability.
However, this kind of protective clothing is not easily available to the outside world, even for a large pirate group like iron scale. At present, they only exist in the laboratory of papal hall, which is a kind of non mass production cutting-edge equipment. But now, there are nearly 100 pirates wearing it.
Even the head is wrapped in a liquid shaped helmet. Compared with the bulky shape of the former helmet, the new helmet is as simple as a bubble wrapping the wearer's head. In addition to providing oxygen, the helmet window also has various visual modes, motion capture and other new functions. Now, it is providing night vision for these pirates, so the dark dock is no different from the day in their eyes.
At Deborah's command, the pirates quietly dived into the sea like ghosts, and then swam in the direction of the dock. As they scramble to the smooth outer wall of the dock, their palms and knees automatically generate strong suction, allowing them to swim up like geckos.
There were soldiers of ISTA on duty on the dock, but they didn't even respond, so they cut their throats to the pirates who came up behind them. A hundred Pirates of the iron scale spread like a black tide and soon took control of pier 3. When Deborah saw Biga's signal from the dock, the captain of the iron scale went to the rudder of the deck. Under the rudder, Deborah opened a dark box, and a joystick was exposed inside.
"It's time to act, my Lord!" Deborah laughed and pressed his hand down on the lever. All of a sudden, the iron scale was shocked. The sound of hydraulic machinery working from under the deck of the ship is separated with a crack in the middle, which separates the deck at the front end of the ship and slowly opens to the left and right. Under the cabin of the deck, a platform began to rise, on which a tall metal body squatted.
So in the dark, the sound of turbine engine work sounded, and at the same time, there was a ball of light on the chest of the steel body, which gradually brightened up. The main engine starts to work, sending energy to all parts of the body. Some energy devices on the peripheral of the mecha light up and make it completely show in the dark. It stood up, round table Knight's special model King Arthur was hidden in the cabin of the iron scale. If anyone saw this scene now, he would be surprised.
King Arthur, the fourth generation new mecha in papal hall. He is 10 meters tall and weighs 32 tons. Compared with other round table knights, King Arthur's body curve is smooth. The main colors of the mecha are silver and red. The humanoid body is equipped with a fin like air balancer. In addition to making up for the balance problem caused by Arthur's light weight, it also has the functions of battery storage and flame thruster. The former can make King Arthur's endurance more excellent, while the latter can make the mecha move in at the speed of sound when necessary.
As Solon's car, King Arthur's firepower is beyond doubt. The opening of the front chest panel of the mecha is the "Kaleidoscope" guided missile strike system. The right arm armor can eject a high frequency cutting knife, and the left arm is a plasma cannon, which can find charged particles, causing huge impact on the target and secondary burning effect.
It can be said that King Arthur is a mecha born for war. With the amazing reaction of Solon, a person with high-level ability, it is a life harvester.
In the cockpit, Solon made a sign to Deborah, then looked at ISTA in the dark and said, "wulson, I'm as strict as you, or I'm greedy for Franklin's adaptive cells, otherwise how could I have such a chance to enter your ISTA. You who have committed one of the seven deadly sins, let me take the place of the God above you today to bring down the pure flame for you, the evil city
Sauron jerked the manipulator, and King Arthur stood up and ran on the platform. Two steps have come to the bow, and then a strong jump, pressure iron scale continued to sink to the sea level. When the waterline almost reached the bow, the huge ship suddenly rose. And King Arthur has jumped nearly ten meters of the sea and landed heavily on the dock.
Then a row of sprockets rose from the bottom of the mecha's feet. With the sprockets turning, King Arthur glided to the road as fast as he could on the ice. The mecha tends to lean forward to maintain a balanced position. Its left and right legs alternate constantly, allowing the mecha to fly freely and quickly on the road. Arthur was speeding away from the nuclear power plant at the southern end of the island when a truck came out of the plant on the road.
The driver of the car saw a huge darkness suddenly swept out from the other end of the road, and immediately exclaimed, "what's this?"Before he could react, King Arthur had bowed down, and a high frequency knife had popped out of his right arm. At the moment of encounter with the truck, the mecha suddenly bounces up and spins, and the high frequency knife cuts across the truck like butter. When the mecha landed and continued to move forward, the truck exploded into a fireball and rose slowly on the road.
The sound of the explosion alarmed the guards of the nuclear power plant, but before they could report to the tower of abundance, King Arthur had appeared in the spotlight of the outpost. The cold mecha raises its left hand, which immediately deforms, and the parts recombine to form a barrel.
In the cockpit, Solon locked the generator set of the nuclear power plant, and said with a cruel smile: "bloom, the most gorgeous fireworks!" Then press the launch button, so the plasma cannon of the mecha lights up continuously, and the lightning flashes in the dark. A beam of charged particles blasted from the muzzle of the gun instantly fell on the generator set of the nuclear power plant, followed by continuous explosions and flames, which opened the prelude to the night of the collapse of ISTA!
