Chapter 387
"What are you thanking me for?!" Luo Xu's face changed as he left the room. "You Su, I'm telling you, I won't open any backdoors this time. If you want to go to the front line, I'll tell all your mother's confidants about it. Then let's see if your dad stops you first, or the commander locks you up first. You want to be a hero, right? Don't think I don't know what you mean by that. Pick on the pollutant alone—"
You Su stopped and asked: "Are you done?"
Luo Xu became even angrier. He had to let this ignorant brat feel what an elder's fist felt like. However, just as he raised his fist, he suddenly heard a sound from the side corridor. The next second, he saw a group of people falling down from the corridor he was passing by, one on top of the other, and all fell in front of him and You Su with a bang.
The group of people who fell were all familiar faces. At a glance, they were all Dawn's mecha technicians, and among them was Alice from SLY.
There was a moment of silence in the corridor, and the people who had fallen to the ground got up one after another.
Lu Xi helped Lin Yao, who was lying on top of several people, up, "Brother Huo is watching Shen Lin in the ward and told us to come over to see the situation. If there's going to be a fight, we can help."
The others started talking at once.
"Brother, if you want to fight one-on-one, take me with you!"
"What do you mean by one-on-one duel??? If you want to fight Kronos, count me in."
"What happened? How did it progress to a one-on-one duel?!"
Luo Xu's forehead hurt even more: "..."
What the hell are these people doing here! ? It's just a fight. Why are you all joining in the fun when your wounds haven't healed yet? ?
"I just saw a military doctor running over." After Ji Qingfeng got up, he asked attentively, "What do you mean, do you want to tie him up?"
Zhao Lejie said: "Ji Qingfeng and I can carry it over."
"No need, I've finished asking questions." You Su said.
Luo Xu watched the farce in front of him in silence, and without hesitation called the border troops to escort all these dangerous elements who were about to cause trouble back to the medical room, to ensure that they would not cause any more trouble before boarding the warship to Koria.
The mecha technicians who were confined in the medical room could only look at each other in bewilderment at the medical robots. You Su returned to Ying Chenlin's medical room. Huo Yan was guarding beside him. The mental power value on the medical instrument was still fluctuating around 7,000. The paleness on the face of the person lying there was less, all because of the slight redness caused by the high fever.
He nodded to Huo Yan, who then looked at Qi Sicheng beside him: "Captain Qi."
Qi Sicheng looked at You Su and said, "I'll go outside and watch them."
After Qi Sicheng left, Huo Yan asked, "Is it related to Kronos?"
You Su nodded and said nothing more.
Huo Yan understood what he meant, "Sister Tang just called me to explain."
There were still sounds of medical equipment in the medical room. You Su could hardly hear Ying Chenlin's breathing, so he had to repeatedly confirm the data on the equipment before he could feel relieved. He was not foolish enough to act rashly like he did three years ago. If Kronos was easy to kill, he would not have left the border in such a mess three years ago.
You Su took Ying Chenlin's hand and felt his rising body temperature.
He had to go to Kolya. There were some unfinished topics in the command room, such as the key that Ying Chenlin had not unlocked in the old house on Mingguang Star, and the contents of Shi Xuejun's memory. He had to go to Kolya to confirm with Shi Qingning.
-
In the contaminated area of Koria, after hanging up the communication with the front line, Dr. Eric immediately took the first-hand medical records sent by the old military doctor to study. Shen Xingtang still remembered the brief conversation between You Su and Eric, and specifically instructed Huo Yan to make sure he kept an eye on You Su.
In a blink of an eye, she saw Shi Qingning returned to the research room not far away, and continued to analyze Shi Xuejun's memory with other researchers from the Dawn Galaxy.
The entire laboratory was extremely busy. Shen Xingtang was planning to move a few steps in the other direction when she saw a group of people coming in from outside the corridor, accompanying an old man. It was a familiar face to her.
"Mr. Qiu?" Shen Xingtang paused.
Mr. Qiu was also surprised: "Boss Shen——"
He nodded to Shen Xingtang and hurried to the programming table on crutches.
"Mr. Qiu is coming!"
In order to analyze Shi Xuejun's storage device, Shi Qingning firstly did something like mobilizing all the archival materials related to Shi Xuejun after arriving at the Koria contaminated area. After obtaining a large number of permission passwords that Shi Xuejun had used in the Koria Border Research Institute, he led a team of Qiu Lao's confidants to conduct a secondary analysis and continuously calculated the key that Shi Xuejun was most likely to use.
Fortunately, he successfully parsed some files and sent some information related to Kronos to the front line first, but the data in Shi Xuejun's storage was too huge, including some data placed in the programming desk of Ying Songshan, the former director of the Shuguang Border Research Institute on Mingguang Star. The amount of data involved in the comparison and textual research between the two people was very large.
Shi Xuejun seemed very alert. There were multiple codes in the file. Shi Qingning had to keep cracking them if he wanted to analyze it. This greatly increased the time, because some of the keys involved Shi Xuejun's experience in the contaminated area of Koria. To be on the safe side, he contacted Mr. Qiu and asked Mr. Qiu, who had the deepest research on Koria, to rush back from the front line.
"How's the analysis going?"
"Still analyzing."
"There are too many passwords in this memory."
Mr. Qiu knew his student's personality. Shi Xuejun was a careful person. The more careful he was, the more thorough and thorough he would be in doing everything. "What is the current level of analysis?"
"The research catalog report from 30 years ago, from some data clues it is basically certain that this document is related to the research project I know." Shi Qingning has done a lot in the past 30 years, including bringing down the culprit of the Third Research Institute of the Fifth Star Domain, so when he parsed out part of the content of the document, he knew how valuable this document was to the present.
Everything was similar to what he had guessed at the beginning. The project of the Border Research Institute 30 years ago was similar to the project that was unearthed after the collapse of the Third Research Institute in the Fifth Star Region a few years ago. Both were about extracting pollutant genes for biological experiments.
Looking at this situation, Shen Xingtang couldn't help but ask: "Why did you do this kind of project back then——"⑤
"Because of evolution." Shi Qingning knew the purpose of those crazy researchers. "What they wanted to do initially was to find the gene sequence that could stimulate human evolution from the more powerful pollutant genes."
Pollutants possess superpowers that humans do not have. What the Fifth Star Domain Border Research Institute wanted at the beginning was to analyze the superpower genes of pollutants and want people to also possess powerful superpower genes. This statement is indeed horrifying, but no matter how good the physical and mental strength of the existing Covenant are, they will always be limited by their lifespan and the growth limits brought by the human gene sequence.
But pollutants are different. The unsolved mysteries such as superpowers and longevity of pollutants are not found in human gene sequences.
"Giving people superpowers..." Shen Xingtang paused when he heard this. "This is too crazy."
"These projects must be supported by someone behind the scenes, but the current administrators and border officers of the Star Alliance are very determined. In the war between humans and pollutants, there is no way to gain a complete advantage. Evolution is only accelerating social instability and pushing the Star Alliance into an uncontrollable future."
Shi Qingning explained: "So in the court a few years ago, all those involved in this were dealt with by the Star Alliance. The Star Alliance took action to stop all such experiments and eradicated all the cancer related to the experiment."
After Mr. Qiu analyzed some of the information about the project from Master Xuejun's memory, combined with the actions of his students and Master Qingning, he roughly knew something. "That's why Songshan took Ying Chenlin away after solving the problem of the Koria defense system. The cancer in the institute had not been completely eradicated at that time. Once Xuejun was known or discovered by those people, it would not only pose a threat to the Shuguang Border, but Songshan might not be able to keep the memory left by Master Xuejun."
The best way is to not contact or communicate. No one knows whether there are still spies or people with ulterior motives in the Shuguang Research Institute.
"Commander Wei asked Major General Luo to escort the wounded here. You want to keep the child away from danger, right?" Old Qiu looked at Shi Qingning.
"The First Star Region is currently a safe place. There are Dawn Border Army troops stationed near Kolya." Shi Qingning looked at Ying Chenlin's inspection report on the other side. "Not only that, we found data that can track and observe Kronos from the analysis of some documents. Stationmaster Ying Songshan has not given up tracking Kronos over the years."
In that document, when Shi Qingning submitted the Kronos information to the front line, he also copied out the tracking system. The original designer of this system should be Shi Xuejun, and it was later improved by Ying Songshan. As long as it is connected to the big data background of the border, it can track the whereabouts of Kronos through the signal towers deployed by the Star Alliance in various places.
Shi Xuejun’s tracking system is not perfect, but the programming desk left in the small house on Mingguang Star stores a more perfect tracking system than the one in Shi Xuejun’s memory. Shi Qingning guessed that the storage device that Shi Xuejun left to Ying Chenlin or in Ying Lingfeng's inheritance was the master copy of all the data. In addition to leaving this master copy at the Dawn Border, she also gave another copy file to Ying Songshan. Later, Ying Songshan improved and designed the second-level tracking system.
"How did he get access to the border army's backstage?" Mr. Qiu paused.
Shi Qingning looked at the backstage of the Kolia Contaminated Area and said, "Mr. Qiu, isn't the system of the Kolia Contaminated Area connected to the border?"
Mr. Qiu suddenly realized that the restricted area system designed by Ying Songshan before leaving the border to protect the abandoned C-147 base station might have a background program that could connect to the border system and enter the signal system of the entire border through the Koria contaminated area.
That's why there are so many tracking data related to Kronos in Ying Songshan's programming desk.
Moreover, this system was designed based on the Border Army system. Now that it has been copied and sent to the front line, with the support of the corresponding version, the Border Army on the front line can integrate the information previously obtained in Slared and have a more accurate system than before, which can track Kronos at any time.
"My sister and Stationmaster Ying Songshan have made two preparations." Shi Qingning said, "One is what they are doing, and the other is in the inheritance left to the child Shen Lin, which is given to Lieutenant General Lin Yi, a good friend of Major General Ying Lingfeng, for safekeeping."
Shi Xuejun knew that once she died, Ying Songshan would also be in trouble.
If Shuguang Border knew that the problem came from her side, they should be able to find the inheritance information she left behind. This information had been left at Shuguang Border and was not taken away by Ying Songshan. It was not only for her child Ying Chenlin, but also the final master copy left by Shi Xuejun for future generations.
"Why keep it..." A researcher whispered, "Wouldn't it be easier to be discovered if we keep it?"
"Because she knew what Kronos was before us, or she knew the threat of Kronos." The threat of Kronos was far greater than the threat of those cancerous tumors doing illegal research. Qiu Lao understood his student. "She left a way out for the Star Alliance to deal with Kronos... If she hadn't been in trouble, if Songshan hadn't been in trouble
..."
If it weren't for the child Ying Chenlin, it might take more than ten years or even longer for the border army or Shi Qingning to realize this unattended information.
This memory must be completely analyzed. Perhaps they have never figured out how to solve the problem of Kronos. Shi Xuejun's information has already told future generations.
Shen Xingtang's eyes sank slightly. She was holding another document in her hand, which was just handed to her by Shi Qingning. It was a small file in the memory, which had nothing to do with Kronos or the border. No researcher was qualified to open it. It was an electronic letter that a mother left for her only child among the important documents.
Kronos's issue has not been resolved yet, and Eric is still trying to find a way to save Ying Chenlin. She can't waste time here and has to help Eric find medical records.
Shen Xingtang went to see Dr. Eric, and all the researchers in the laboratory did not dare to slack off.
After listening to the conversation between Shi Qingning and Mr. Qiu, everyone felt more urgent. They had to move faster and faster to find a way to solve this pollutant before causing greater sacrifices.
Special characters were being output continuously on the virtual screen in the spacious white area. Several researchers from the Dawn Border Army were still continuously exporting and analyzing the files in the memory. The file system they had been busy with for several hours suddenly popped up, and the successfully matched analysis information was also displayed at the same time.
Shi Qingning, who hadn't rested for two days, walked quickly to the programming table and asked, "Which key was successfully matched?"
The researcher said: "In the Kolia contaminated area, Researcher Shi Xuejun's authorization code for the research on contaminant weapons."
Just as he finished speaking, the system popped up the latest data that had been fully analyzed. The source of this data was 30 years ago, and the signature was the [Contaminant Genome] research team of the Fifth Star Region Border Research Institute.
[Special sample - XJSJ001 abnormal data detected time field monitoring report]
The researchers present were shocked. XJSJ001 was Kronos. This was a detailed report on Kronos detected by researchers 30 years ago, an original data report from 30 years ago!
Shi Qingning was very fast. While others were still analyzing the text, he had already turned to the end of the report - Researcher Shi Yu.
Shi Yu, his adoptive father.

Luo Xu accepted Wei Changyang's instructions and placed all the injured border troops and even the Covenant mecha divisions on the starship during the K-UYT orbital chaos, and headed to the Dawn Galaxy in the First Star Region through the safe navigation channel confirmed by Wei Changyang.
The two-day sailing time seems particularly long now. During the sailing, all the border troops on the warship dared not relax until the warship entered the territory of the First Star Region and was received by the border troops of the First Star Region.
The contaminated area of Koria is no longer the same as when the Dawn people came last time. The area that was severely damaged before has been fenced off, and the severely damaged contaminated area is not open to the public now, but an expansion has been formed at the location of the original administration's berthing platform. From the warship, one can see the expanded Koria Administration and the contaminated area guarded by heavy troops.
"It feels very different from before." Ji Qingfeng looked out the window, "It feels a lot bigger than before."
The medical team of the First Star Domain's General Army has arrived at the scene and is ready to receive the wounded on the front line. There are many areas along the way that can accept the wounded, but the Koria contaminated area has been designated as a key construction area by the Dawn Galaxy in the past year or so. A special jump channel has been built to the First Star Domain's General Army Hospital, which has stricter defenses and medical standards than the Third Star Domain or the Second Star Domain they passed through.
During the two-day voyage, this was the most suitable place to receive the wounded.
As soon as everyone arrived at the place, Eric was already waiting behind with several doctors. He took Ying Chenlin from the warship's doctor and quickly sent him to Kolya's intensive care unit.
During the two days of sailing, Ying Chenlin's condition was very stable and his high fever subsided. The only thing that remained unchanged was Ying Chenlin's mental power, which remained stable at around 7,000. During the trip, the military doctor gave him anti-pollution agents and sedatives every day, but they were unable to reduce his strange mental power.
Doctor Eric had already made preparations in the past two days. He specifically analyzed the medical records of the only two cases of contamination resonance in the Star Alliance and some of their reports, and obtained some clinical data. After they sent Ying Chenlin to the medical room, they immediately checked Ying Chenlin's body for infectious factors. They dismantled Ying Chenlin's robotic arm and took tissue from the relevant lesions for biopsy.
"The results of the current examination show that he does have an infection factor that resonates with Kronos in his body, and the activity of the factor is also very active because of the close resonance with Kronos."
A genetic disease expert explained: "But his physical condition is too strange. We found that there is more than one infectious factor in his body, and the other infectious factors are very active. Whenever Kronos's factor damages his body, another infectious factor will resist it."
In their original speculation, they believed that it was related to the fact that Ying Chenlin had removed the lesion in advance, but the activity of Kronos' infectious factors was too high. With Ying Chenlin's original double S physique, even if there would be no deterioration under the stimulation of Kronos, there should not be any benign growth. At most, it would slow down the stimulation and alleviate the deterioration.
"In addition to the physical impact, Kronos' influence is more of a mental impact." Another expert said, "But we found that Ying Chenlin's response to Kronos's increasingly powerful resonance was active. It seems that his mental power or consciousness resonated more deeply with Kronos than we expected."
Doctor Eric explained, "It's a benign infection. He had surgery last year when his mechanical arm broke and came into contact with a special contaminant registered by Koria. The ability of that contaminant is high-speed regeneration."
At this point, the surgical information related to xenospecies was also submitted to several experts.
"That's it! This infectious factor is completely benign to him. Whenever Kronos affects him, this factor dissipates Kronos' influence, or in other words, this factor becomes more active under Kronos' influence, and this stimulates Ying Chenlin."
When the experts saw this, they suddenly realized that the location of the alien infection happened to be near the lesion of Ying Chenlin's genetic disease. The offset of these two infectious factors, because the alien pollutant has the ability to regenerate at high speed and once possessed symbiotic characteristics, after the two were neutralized, Ying Chenlin's body quickly adapted to the two offsets, which resulted in the positive feedback of increased mental strength.
If it is true as they guessed, then Ying Chenlin's body is in a coma, which is actually the body's self-protection adaptation period.
Once the child has survived the impact of these two factors and is able to fully adapt, not only will his physical condition improve, but his forcibly raised mental strength will also stabilize at a value of 7,000, or even higher.
"But this situation won't last too long." Doctor Eric said, "I know his mental power's peak value. The current stimulation is still within his body's adaptation range. It has reached 7,000 and he has already fallen into a coma. If the impact of the two factors on him is too great, his body will eventually not be able to bear it."
Ying Chenlin was at his peak at the age of 18. The upper limit of his mental strength was around 7100, which means that the range of his physical endurance can be estimated to be around 7200. Beyond 7200, no matter how positive the effect is, it is unknown to them and Ying Chenlin.
"This is not something we can do." Seeing this, another expert sighed and said, "If the source of infection is not eliminated, resonance will not be something we can control."
"Eric, this is already a miracle."
"This young man is so lucky."
"Then we can only stabilize his condition now and hope that he can wake up soon."
There were some extra things that Dr. Eric didn't tell all of the experts.
After all, Ying Chenlin had only come into contact with Kronos once, and positive feedback like this had appeared long ago. As Ying Chenlin's attending physician, Dr. Eric has watched this young man get better step by step. Even without the foreign infectious factor, Ying Chenlin is getting better, but the speed is a little slow...
The alien species did accelerate Ying Chenlin's recovery. Dr. Eric felt that this was one of the reasons. His intuition from many years of medical practice told him that the depth of Ying Chenlin's resonance with Kronos must be beyond their current expectations. There was no trace to investigate this, and no one knew the reason. The only explanation could only be the infectious factor in his body.
Eric nodded: "He is indeed very lucky."
All the coincidences seemed like a gift from God. He hoped that this was the only factor and did not want more people to pay attention to this young man who had gone through so many hardships.
After several hours of examination, Ying Chenlin was sent to a special ward temporarily set up by Kolya, and his fever had completely subsided. After listening to Dr. Eric's explanation, Shuguang and others finally relaxed their tense hearts.
Shen Xingtang was present, and the Shuguang people were refused when they wanted to squeeze in next to Ying Chenlin. When she heard the doctor say that they needed to rest, she unceremoniously drove all the mecha pilots whose injuries had not yet healed to her medical cabin to lie down. They were not allowed to leave the medical cabin until their injuries were healed.
When Ji Feng and other personnel from other bases called to ask about safety,
Returning to Koria was like returning to the hometown of the Dawn people. Even when meeting the director of the Koria Administration, the Dawn people were able to make a few jokes, but jokes aside, the others did not completely let their guard down. Especially when they saw the border troops moving back and forth every day, they knew that the situation outside was more serious than they had imagined.
You Su was also seriously injured, and the others were unable to hold him down. In the end, Shen Xingtang and Luo Xu took action at the same time and forced him to lie in the medical cabin for a long time. But it was only half a day. When he was awake, You Su spent more time in Ying Chenlin's ward, always observing the latter's condition.
For several days, Ying Chenlin showed no signs of waking up, but the number of border troops entering and leaving Koria was increasing.
When You Su entered Ying Chenlin's ward, the latter was still sleeping. He placed the key to the mecha full of energy next to Ying Chenlin's bed. When the mecha Yuan was placed next to him, it flashed at You Sulin in a friendly manner, as if to express gratitude.
Theo has been talking less these days, "When will he wake up?"
"I don't know." You Su looked at it quietly for a while, and left Theo beside Ying Chenlin's bed as well. "Call me directly if you have any questions."
Theo gladly accepted the task and expanded the scope of his empathy with You Su.
You Su glanced at the test data and turned to leave only after confirming that there was no problem.
Just as he went out, the room became dim with only the dimly lit medical equipment left. The key of Mecha Abyss lit up briefly, and the boy lying in the quiet medical cabin moved. A layer of mist floated in his special mask, and his eyes, which had been closed for a long time, opened slightly.
The author has something to say:
Ahhhh so much information to uncover! I write so slowly QAQ…
Looking at the list of foreshadowings I had made that had not yet been revealed, I fell into painful thought.
See you tomorrow!
