Shenzhou, it has been three days since the end of the Demon City Defense War.

Residents returned to the city one after another and resumed their normal life order. Outside the Great Steel Wall, there are still soldiers patrolling every day to clear up the remaining mutant creatures and Zerg.

The wounded were all treated, but unfortunately, the remains of the victims could not be found, because they died in the mouth of the Zerg, that is, there are no bones left!

People woke up from the joy of victory and began to accept the tragic war.

In the Xuanwu conference hall, the Xuanwu executives still had lingering fears when they recalled the situation that day.

"We lost nearly 10,000 heroic men in a battle to defend the Demon City!" Cui Weimin said with emotion, "It's too tragic!"

"This is also because we have the Great Wall of Steel and electromagnetic guns." He Hongwei said, "When Sakura and Goryeo defended against the Zerg, the death toll exceeded 100,000. And after they let the Zerg enter the interior, people were killed every day. The whole society is in panic and chaos."

"The construction of the Great Wall of Steel must be accelerated immediately until the country's coastline is defended!" Kong Qing said.

"Now our troubles have not decreased." Song Jinghong analyzed, "We extracted the Zerg biological materials obtained from the battlefield for analysis. These Zerg have great potential for evolution."

"We suspect that in the worm nest, there are more advanced zerg."

"Yes." Qin Peng nodded, "This wave of Zerg attacking us came from the Cherry Blossom Trench. The Zerg in the Mariana Trench have not yet moved."

"We judged that this time it was only the Zerg who were testing our strength, and at the same time, they were cultivating land troops. Soon, more Zerg will attack in an all-round way! At that time, it was not one or two locations or a few cities that were attacked. , but the whole country, the whole world!"

"According to the ocean area of ​​the world." He Xingzhou said, "The number of insect nests in the world is conservatively estimated to be more than 100!"

"One hundred!" Lu Mei was horrified when she heard this number, "One worm nest can attack three locations in batches, a hundred worm nests... that can really destroy the Blue Star!"

"Yes." He Xingzhou nodded, "So this is a race against time. It depends on the development speed of our technology and weapons, and the evolution and reproduction speed of the Zerg, which is faster!"

"So, I propose that we will carry out the second phase of the Xuanwu plan at the same time!"

The first phase of the Xuanwu Project is mainly about resource reserves across the country, construction of shelters, wireless power transmission networks, magnetic roads, hyperloops, satellite networks, and parts of the Great Wall of Steel.

Now that most of them have been implemented, and the steel Great Wall can be advanced smoothly, the second phase must start ahead of schedule.

"Now let's discuss the second phase of the Xuanwu plan!" The Xuanwu executives started a formal discussion.

"The most important thing!" Qin Peng said first, "We must consolidate the coastal defense line, including Yizhou!"

"Yes!" He Hongwei said, "This time, the Zerg only attacked the Demon City, and we were able to defend it. When attacking other places, there is also the Great Wall of Steel, but this place in Yizhou is the key place, and the Zerg must not be allowed to plunder!"

"In order to complete the construction of the steel Great Wall submarine tunnel, there must be enough fleets to protect it." He Xingzhou said, "In this battle, our fleet strength is far from enough to face the Zerg."

"So the development of ships, submersibles, and underwater weapons will be listed as the content of the second stage."

"We also need to expand our army. The defense along the entire Great Steel Wall requires a large number of soldiers!"

Xuanwu wrote down the contents of the meeting one by one, and when the proposed proposal was approved by everyone, it would be included in the schedule.

Cui Weimin said: "To form a global defense organization, although we are exchanging intelligence through the World United Organization, this is not enough. There must be a human civilization organization with stronger binding force and stronger execution!"

"And we have to take the lead!" he stressed. "Everywhere else is messing up, you can't count on them."

Everyone nodded.

"We also need to build a high-tech land and air army to prevent it from happening. Although we have temporarily blocked the invasion of the marine Zerg, those mutant Zerg will sooner or later invade the sky and land in various ways, and our other borders. , and also keep it!" Kong Qing said.

"Develop a new generation of fighter jets, and build armored corps and robot corps!" He Xingzhou said, "After this battle, the mechanical exoskeleton has a lot of room for improvement. If we can conquer safe nuclear battery technology, we have the opportunity to build more advanced armor and robots!"

The durability of the mechanical exoskeleton is not strong. No matter what the metal-air battery is, it cannot maintain long-term combat, and the power is not sufficient for the use of electric weapons.

The reason why there was no battery life in this operation was entirely because they were near the Great Steel Wall, with wireless power network coverage everywhere, and they could be recharged at any time.

In other places, there is no such convenience, so more advanced nuclear batteries must be available.

"In terms of biological research, continue to advance." Song Jinghong said, there is no doubt about this.

"In terms of logistical support," Lu Mei said, "I propose to put the whole country into a state of full preparation, and civilian factories will immediately transform their production lines to produce military equipment, ships, aircraft, mechanical exoskeletons, robots, and more."

"Agreed, our consumption in this battle is not small."

After several days of discussion, the major tasks of the second stage were finally determined.

"First, continue to advance the research on Zerg genes and improve the "Zerg Biological Dictionary"."

"Second, large-scale conscription, the Great Wall of Steel will be completed in two years."

"Third, build a high-tech corps, including a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet, a new generation of air corps, ground armored corps, and robot corps."

"Fourth, build a submarine tunnel from Rongcheng to Yizhou, and bring the waters near Yizhou into management."

"Fifth, form a joint defense organization for all mankind and collect information about the Zerg from all over the world."

...

These are the five major categories, and there are other subcategories, with a total of several thousand.

They still divided their labor. Qin Peng said: "Comrade He Xingzhou, this time to defend the Demon City, your technology and ideas have saved us from the invasion of the Zerg."

"So we have already submitted an application to make you an official Xuanwu executive, and the approval should come soon."

He Xingzhou did not refuse. At this juncture, being hypocritical will only waste time.

He said, "Thank you, everyone, I hope we can continue to implement the Xuanwu plan smoothly!"

"You have this ability!" Everyone now attaches great importance to He Xingzhou's opinion. They deeply know that without He Xingzhou, maybe at this time, the Zerg has already ravaged the inland!

"There is one more thing." Cui Weimin said, "In five days, we will hold a memorial ceremony for the heroic martyrs. If there is no urgent matter, everyone should attend."

"Okay!" Everyone agreed that even if they were short on time, they would take time out to mourn the heroes who died in the battle to defend the city.

...

He Xingzhou had too many things to do. After the war, he first had a phone call with his family, and then communicated with various departments.

A lot of Zerg biological materials were obtained in this war, and some advanced Zerg were also captured alive, such as those red beetles, green beetles and black beetles. They all caught the samples that were still alive and sent them to the research institute for research.

On He Xingzhou's personal science and technology research list, there are a lot of things lying on the list, and it is impossible to make a row.

"The next step is to study nuclear energy technology." He Xingzhou counted, whether it is nuclear battery armor, robots, or nuclear-powered submarines, aircraft carriers, all need to make breakthroughs in nuclear technology.

He opened the technology tree of the quantum optical brain and found the corresponding technology.

"Basic nuclear fission energy technology requires 1 million units of energy to unlock."

"The nuclear radiation isolation layer technology requires 500,000 units of energy to unlock."

"Nuclear power storage technology requires 1 million units of energy to unlock."

"Nuclear battery technology, unlocking requires 800,000 units of energy."

"Nuclear fission-powered thruster technology requires 3 million units of energy to unlock."

...

The unit energy required by nuclear technology is higher than the previous one, and only nuclear fission technology can be unlocked at present. Controllable nuclear fusion requires at least tens of millions of energy to unlock, because there are too many technologies involved, and it is still impossible to unlock. made directly.

He Xingzhou first introduced the existing nuclear fission knowledge and technology, saving more than one million units of energy.

Then unlock the nuclear radiation barrier, nuclear power storage and nuclear battery technology, he intends to create a nuclear battery first.

Nuclear batteries can be used on a large scale in construction machinery and military equipment, which can greatly improve the speed of construction and armament intensity in a short period of time.

He Xingzhou contacted Yang Bo and asked him to start recruiting people to form a nuclear battery research team.

...

Sentinel Research Institute, Underground Biochemical Research Institute.

A new piece of news has troubled the research team.

"After the successful defense of the Magic City, many soldiers and logisticians became insane." Wu Rui reported the situation on stage.

"The specific performance is that there are auditory hallucinations and hallucinations. Some people even think that they are Zerg!"

"Severe cases will go mad. There have been more than 100 cases in the past few days, and there is even a tendency to spread, which has seriously affected the stability of society and the health of soldiers. Medical scientists believe that this may be a post-war trauma. Stress Syndrome."

"You can't draw such a simple conclusion." Pan Yan panted under the stage, "It has something to do with the Zerg, there must be other reasons. Maybe the brain is stimulated by some kind of biological waves."

"We have also tested this aspect, but we know too little about the human brain and nerves to find useful clues."

Human understanding of the brain and nervous system is actually very shallow. Unlike physical trauma, mental trauma is difficult to detect or locate specific diseases and treatments.

They discussed it for a while, but it was still difficult to come to a close conclusion.

Pan Yan took a few breaths of oxygen before saying, "In any case, we must find out the reason. If the Zerg has this means of affecting the human brain, we will be hit hard in the next war!"

"Let's go to each of them to study, and the meeting will be dismissed."

The crowd dispersed, Pan Yan beckoned to Jiang Chan.

This is the first time she has spoken to Jiang Chan since she transferred Jiang Chan to the bio-wave research group last time.

"Teacher!" Jiang Chan hurried over.

Pan Yan was lying in a wheelchair, and said, "Take me to see the No. 9 experimental body."

"Yeah." Jiang Chan pushed her to the area where the No. 9 experimental body was located.

Subject 9 was kept alone in a breeding room, where it slept most of the time.

Pan Yan held the oxygen mask, took a few more breaths of oxygen, and said in a low voice, "I'll go in alone, you wait outside."

"Well." Jiang Chan waited quietly outside.

Pan Yan's wheelchair is a specially made intelligent device that can be unmanned.

After she entered the research area, Jiang Chan waited patiently. These days, she has been studying the biological brain wave information that Pan Yan has marked out to her, and has already achieved some results.

But until now, she has not had a chance to test her ideas.

"Is the hallucinations after the war also related to brain waves?" Jiang Chan leaned against the railing, dragging her chin with one hand, thinking silently.

A few minutes later, she was woken up by the siren.

"Warning, Academician Pan Yan is in a coma, please rescue immediately." It was the intelligent system of the scientific research institute, the sentinel, who called the police.

"Teacher!" Jiang Chan hurriedly entered the research area, and she saw that Pan Yan was unconscious in a wheelchair.

Opposite her, a white dolphin was looking at her innocently.

"I will find out!" Jiang Chan whispered.

At this time, everyone has come.

"How is the teacher?"

"Hurry up and help!" They sent Pan Yan to the emergency room.

He Xingzhou was about to return to the Sentinel Research Institute when he learned that Pan Yan was in a coma.

Pan Yan was resting when he came to the ward of the institute. She described it as withered, completely skinny, with sunken eyes, like a candle that was about to burn out.

He Xingzhou exited the ward. Seeing Jiang Chan standing outside with red eyes, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Academician Pan?"

Jiang Chan choked and said, "Teacher, she's dying. The doctor said it might not last for an hour."

"What!" He Xingzhou was shocked and asked, "How could this happen?"

"I...I have a little guess." Jiang Chan whispered, she was about to say, the nurse knew: "Academician Pan is awake."

"We'll talk later." He Xingzhou patted her shoulder and comforted.

He entered the ward. At this time, although Pan Yan was awake, he still had no energy. Even opening his eyes seemed to need all his strength.

"Mom!" Pan Yan's son Lu Fang had arrived, and Pan Yan glanced at him with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Help...help me up." She whispered.

The nurse quickly helped her up carefully, and she panted, "I'm running out of time."

Everyone listened quietly, and no one dared to disturb the rhythm of her speech.

"Sentry, pass my information to Jiang Chan." Pan Yan called, and the holographic screen lit up in front of her.

The sentinel's voice reminded: "The permission has been obtained, and the information transmission has been completed."

Hearing this sentence, Pan Yan showed a hint of relief.

Her son wanted to say a few words to her, but Pan Yan looked at Jiang Chan and said, "I'll leave it to you."

"I know! Teacher!" Jiang Chan couldn't help crying.

She looked at He Xingzhou again, smiled and said, "Xuanwu... plan, we have to continue... continue."

"I'm... satisfied, you're right. It's also what I have in my heart... Be kind, although... even though I have died nine times... I still haven't... I have no regrets."

When she uttered the last word, her whole figure seemed to have lost her strength, her eyes were slack, her eyes were not sure, and her body completely lost her strength.

On the electrocardiogram monitor next to her, her electrocardiogram became a straight line with no twists and turns!
