There was no point in continuing to investigate the case.

For the rest of the day, the remaining three were busy with other things.

Ou Xiameng forced herself to calm down, took out the copied Mi clan symbol that contained a large amount of data, and the notebook and pen she had found in Liang Zhichu's room. She did not read Liang Zhichu's personal notes in front, but just wanted to use the blank paper at the back of the notebook, and tried to complete the last step of the smelting method by hand calculation, and organize the complex data into a method conclusion that could be easily described.

She didn't know if she could leave, but she thought that if she died, leaving something behind, her death would be more meaningful. Assuming that my colleagues in other research stations are facing the same situation as me and have lost the assistance of quantum data, then I am the only one who has the opportunity to complete the last step of calculation with pen and paper on the entire J919. If everyone dies and the metal plates with the Mi tribe symbols are all lost, then all the investment in this planet for so many years will be in vain. If we can find a way to calculate the final formula and store this small amount of information with a more reliable carrier, even if everyone dies, the project will not be considered a failure.

Samantha helped Nur Ahong to try to further improve the performance of the antique radio equipment.

After more than two days, people in various research stations seemed to be showing their magical powers. One of the research stations found a way to increase the strength of the radio signals sent to the outside world, and broadcast the situation here in a concise text.

Although Nur Ahong could not reply, he roughly knew some information.

The other party was the No. 9 Research Station in the Roncesin Mountains, which was about 300 kilometers away from the No. 117 Research Station in the Tara Basin. Two murders occurred last night and the night before. The victims were two scientific workers like Ou Xiameng.

Subsequently, the No. 9 Research Station in the Roncesin Mountains announced a method to enhance the radio signal. Soon, each research station announced its own situation to the outside world.

Nur Ahong was shocked. Abnormal deaths occurred in almost all research stations, and the identities of the deceased were different.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, all the professional pilots who can drive small fast armed ships in the research stations are still alive.

Nur Ahong informed Ou Xiameng of the information he had collected.

In the evening, the three of them got together again and tried to analyze something from this phenomenon.

Samantha said, "This is most likely an attack by the Compound Eyes on us through infiltration. In any case, we should evacuate."

Ou Xiameng shook his head, "It's unlikely. Three years ago before I set out for J919, I read the latest battle report. It would be difficult for the Compound Eyes to infiltrate to the location of J919 within three years."

Nur Ahong: "But it is indeed possible, isn't it? And what is more likely is that the Compound Eyes have mastered unknown means to remotely control our warriors."

"This is ridiculous. Now human technological level has surpassed that of the Compound Eyes, and the quantum resonance that could control our thoughts in the past no longer works. Moreover, our warriors have all received will-strengthening training, and Siceta has not shown any signs of being controlled." Ou Xiameng shook his head.

Nur Ahong: "You mean, there really is a fourth person who committed all the murders? And it's not the driver? But if it's not the Compound Eyes, what force could it be? How could it launch attacks on all scientific research stations on the planet at the same time, and only kill one person every day?"

This question stumped Ou Xiameng.

She thought for a moment before saying, "The best option at the moment is to evacuate as soon as possible. Request special military personnel to take over the scene."

Nur Ahong: "But our driver is the direct suspect. We can't take off without him. In addition, I think we have the responsibility and need to conduct a deeper investigation. We are the parties involved and can see more information. We have the responsibility to find out more truth. Even if we have to hand it over to military personnel, we can wait for the people in other scientific research stations to evacuate first, and they will also send intelligence to the outside world."

The three fell silent again.

...

No one would have thought that two hours later, Nur Ahong suddenly rushed out of his dormitory, first with a miserable roar, then blood gushed out of his mouth, and then curled up on the ground.

He seemed to want to say something before he died, but in the end he didn't say a word. He shivered a few times and then fell silent.

There were only two survivors and a suspect left in Research Station 117.

Ou Xiameng and Samantha, who rushed out after hearing the screams, looked at each other in fear and confusion.

The biggest suspect, Siceta, was still imprisoned, but a third person died.

"What...what's going on?" Samantha's lips trembled with fear, "Should...should we let Siceta out?"

Ou Xiameng shook his head, "Wait, let me think about it, let me think about it again..." As

the two were talking, three minutes passed and Nur Ahong's body on the ground turned blue-black.

Ou Xiameng was secretly shocked.

This is a symptom of poisoning.

The biggest suspect has become the seemingly harmless Samantha.

But Ou Xiameng did not reveal it, but quietly moved to the entrance to the cell.

"Samantha, wait here for a while. I'd better go and release Siceta first."

With the death of Nur Ahong, Ou Xiameng, as a senior researcher, automatically became the supreme leader.

The authority to release the suspect Siceta naturally lies with Ou Xiameng.

Samantha nodded numbly and did not raise any questions.

Half an hour later, Siceta, who possessed certain professional skills, completed the autopsy of Nur Ahong's body, and the cause of death was determined to be food poisoning.

When Siceta announced the result, Samantha was so frightened that she fell to the ground, shaking her head and arguing with tears, "No... It wasn't me. I didn't poison the team leader. Besides, our meals were all cooked in the same pot. Why didn't we get poisoned, but he was the only one? This doesn't make sense! Besides, you guys have been talking about motives, but I'm the one with the least motive! Don't look at me like that!"

Ou Xiameng looked at Siceta first, then at Samantha who had fallen to the ground, and then at Nur Ahong's body on the medical bed. His mind was in a mess.

Things were at a complete stalemate.

Nothing can be done but watching people die one after another.

And there is no doubt that if nothing is done, more people will die.

No one knows who the next victim will be.

...

Ou Xiameng spent half an hour collecting the messages broadcast by other teams.

Some teams have already driven small armed ships into the air to escape, and some teams are also preparing.

More than half of the research stations have had three deaths, and a few research stations have only one or two deaths left.

"We can't delay any longer, we must evacuate immediately, otherwise we will all die here."

Siceta said firmly.

"Okay, Sicetta, go get ready."

"OK. I'll adjust the ship to manual mode and ignite the engine manually, which will take about four hours. During these four hours, both of you should be careful about your own safety."

Sicetta said, and went straight to the ship dock.

Ou Xiameng took out the ion beam gun, alloy rope, Nur Ahong's bowls, chopsticks, plates, knives and forks, and other suspected weapons, and placed them on the workbench in the lobby.

Before leaving, she tried to reorganize and analyze the case again and make a final attempt.

In her mind, countless data, past experimental records, research reports on the mechanical ecosystem on J919, various death details of the deceased, and the current situation of survivors from other research stations were repeatedly churning.

Finally, her eyes fell on Liang Zhichu's notebook.

At this time, the notebook was open, and on it was her own handwritten draft of calculation data.

"I'll do one last calculation." Ou Xiameng said to herself. She had more or less a hunch in her heart.

She grabbed the notebook again and picked up the pen.

At the same time, she said, "Samantha, help me get the mechanical logic thinking enhancement drug."

Ou Xiameng decided to give it a final try.

She was unwilling to escape in disgrace. It was for research and for those who died in unclear circumstances.

Samantha heard this and wondered, "Dr. Ou, what are you going to do? That drug will cause your brain to undergo irreversible mechanization..."

"Please bring me the drug, thank you."

Ou Xiameng interrupted Samantha and urged again.

...

Three hours later, Ou Xiameng put down the pen in her hand.

The last page of the notebook in front of her was already filled.

She breathed a sigh of relief. She

had already understood in her heart.

Ou Xiameng picked up the ion beam gun and walked towards the dock.

Ou Xiameng: "Ciceta, I have turned on the function of your combat suit. You take this gun, go to the gate of the base, face the sky, and fire at the frequency I told you."

Ciceta: "What are you going to do?"

"Send some information to the people outside. In addition, we must be the last team to leave."

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter, just follow my orders, thank you. You are a soldier, and now I am your superior. You should follow my orders unconditionally."

"Do you want to solve the case and avenge others?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't."

Perhaps it was the effect of the drug, or perhaps it was because she had experienced too much in just a few days and had been living in inexplicable fear, which made Ou Xiameng change rapidly. At this time, she seemed to have a drastic change in her personality. She seemed to be extremely indifferent and very strong.

Sicetta's expression froze, and he stopped talking. He turned the power of the ion beam gun to the maximum and pointed the gun at the sky.

Although the ion beam gun is a portable individual weapon, with the current level of human technology, if the power is turned to the maximum, the killing power is still considerable. The ion beam can break through the thin atmosphere on J919 and go straight into space.

From a distance in space, you can see that the surface of the planet is like a searchlight, flickering and spitting out beams of light in a certain rhythm.

As the distance increases, the beam gradually expands until it reaches a distance of nearly 80 million kilometers, then it completely dissipates.

The beam moves faster than other ships that are forced to use manual mode to launch.

Before the other scientific expedition teams left the atmosphere, Ou Xiameng sent out the information he wanted to convey, and it was collected by the small frigate patrolling outside.

After doing this, Ou Qinglan, Siceta, and Samantha entered the cockpit of the small fast armed ship, but did not rush to ignite, just let the power engine warm up.

As for the bodies of Matsuda Masahito, Liang Zhichu, and Nur Ahong, they had already been put into the warehouse.

...

Another eight hours passed.

On the huge J919 star, huge mining machines were quietly parked under the mountains, on the plains, and on the deep seabed...

These giant machines that were originally tireless have become completely dead things.

On the suspended load rails in the sky, which were like a tangled fishing net, the load-carrying cranes that used to flow endlessly were parked in twos and threes.

The rails shook violently from time to time. This was the mechanical giant bird native to the J919 swooping down.

In the past, once a mechanical giant bird approached the rails, it would be quickly swooped down by human unmanned weapons.

The giant bird even had biological instincts, knowing that it had to go around the rails.

But now without the sweeping of the unmanned weapons, the giant bird could vent its years of accumulated anger and gnaw at the metal on it.

From time to time, the anti-gravity device in the suspension rail was completely destroyed, and a large piece of metal warehouse structure fell from the sky to the ground like the collapse of Mount Buzhou.

In just a few days, the prosperous J919 planet has quickly become desolate and dilapidated.

Everything that humans have worked hard to build on J919 for decades is falling apart at a very fast speed, like a noisy party that is about to end.

But this is also the carnival of the original mechanical life on this planet.

"It's time to set off."

Ou Xiameng ordered Sicetta who was sitting in the driver's seat.

Sicetta nodded and began to twist the various valves and physical buttons in front of him at a very fast speed.

At this time, the originally clean and refreshing driver's seat operating platform is no longer the same as before. All kinds of lines of varying thickness are mixed together.

The copper core was exposed, and sparks flew out from time to time as Sicetta pressed the switch.

The other end of the line was connected to a variety of physical button panels of different sizes, colors, colors, colors, and shapes, arranged in a messy manner, which could drive seven or eight people with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death at a glance. It was full of Soviet heavy industry style.

These were all "masterpieces" completed by Sicetta in a few hours.

Anyway, the only goal was to succeed in taking off. As long as they entered outer space, they could be rescued immediately. As long as it was usable and barely reliable, it would be fine. Sicetta did not pursue any aesthetics. Even the buttons were mostly removed from his own personal collection and a large number of ancient figurines.

Accompanied by the rumbling vibration, the armed ship slowly took off.

Samantha sighed, "Finally we can leave this damn place. Finally... it's over."

Sicetta didn't say anything, but was concentrating on the various indicator lights in front of him.

At this time, the spacecrafts of other research stations had already taken off one after another, and some spacecrafts had even flown out of the atmosphere of J919 and entered outer space. His

intuition told him that Ou Xiameng must have a deep meaning for arranging his spacecraft to leave last.

He didn't know what would happen next, but his heart was still full of a sense of crisis.

Sicetta took a deep breath and turned his gaze to a joystick on his right side.

Previously, he used the extra preparation time to restore the firing function of the machine gun on the bow of the armed ship.

Although he couldn't lock and fire automatically like before, Siceta had practiced manual locking before. Once he was in contact with the enemy, as long as he was given two chances to test the gun, he could at least achieve a hit rate of more than 90% within ten kilometers, not to mention a perfect shot.

When he was repairing the machine gun, Ou Xiameng, an academic talent, also gave him advice and helped him adjust the parameters of the energy module, connecting the main energy module of the machine gun and several spare modules at the same time, increasing the machine gun's firing endurance to five times the normal level.

Turning his head to look at the clouds flashing and retreating outside the window, Ou Xiameng shook his head, "It's not over yet, I won't be a deserter like this."

Samantha: "What do you mean?"

Ou Xiameng opened the box at his feet, took out a micro phase pistol from it, threw it to Samantha, and carried a larger ion beam gun, "I have given you weapon authorization as a temporary commander. Come with me to the bridge, we have to prepare for battle."

"Fight?" Samantha was puzzled.

Ou Xiameng nodded, "Yes, the Gaia consciousness on this planet will definitely do its best to drive us away."

Samantha: "Gaia consciousness?"

"Yes. We were all wrong. There is intelligent life on J919. Now, I have completed all the calculations related to it, and I know the nature of the special alloy that makes up the mechanical intelligent life on J919. That thing is indeed the same as the amino acids of life on Earth, but it is also the neurotransmitter of Gaia consciousness. The entire planet J919 is itself an intelligent life with independent thinking."

Samantha: "But we have dealt with planetary life before. Their thinking is very slow, and it takes hundreds of thousands of years for a thought to turn."

Ou Xiameng: "So this time mankind has encountered a special and cunning opponent. But I won't let it get its wish."

...

The weaponry was suspended at the junction of the atmosphere of J919. One more step up would represent the vast universe of freedom, and one step down would return to the planet's atmospheric stratosphere.

At this moment, the surface of the entire planet is undergoing drastic changes.

It is shaking.

Along with the shaking, powerful gravitational waves are tearing everything near the planet.

A creaking sound is heard inside the weapon ship due to the violent resonance.

Below, the sky is falling, the mountains are breaking, and the deep blue ocean is boiling.

Samantha, wearing a space combat suit and showing her beautiful figure, stands on the bridge. The ropes extending from the combat suit firmly fix her to the bridge guardrail.

Samantha looks down and finds that the ground of J919 is flickering between virtuality and reality.

"What's going on?" she asked in surprise.

Ou Xia Meng finally began to explain, "It is mobilizing a large amount of electrical energy that has been accumulated over billions of years since its birth, preparing to start a folding shuttle with an unknown destination and leave here."

Samantha: "Electricity? Where is it stored?"

"In every proton, neutron, electron, radiation, microwave... on the entire J919. It is a life that cannot be guessed with engineering common sense."

Samantha: "Does that include us?"

Ou Xiameng: "Yes, we are also part of it now. But as long as our spaceship flies up another 50 meters, we will not be included. It has been deliberately creating deaths and trying to drive us away."

Samantha: "Then why don't we hurry up? Why stop here?"

Ou Xiameng: "Because I don't want it to escape. No one can get away with killing so many humans. It must pay the price."

"But it is trying to break, and we can't stop it!"

"No, it can't take us with it. I am a descendant of the Ou family and a direct subordinate of the leader. A remote projection of the leader Chen Feng's will is implanted in my body. If I die here or am taken away by it, the leader will definitely find it. It is afraid of us, afraid of humans, and even more afraid of our leader."

In the sky not far away, there were already densely packed mechanical life forms of various types flying at a very fast speed.

The big ones were like islands, and the small ones were like sparrows. They piled up together, covering the sky and the sun, like huge waves in a tsunami.

This scene made Samantha, a non-combatant, feel terrified.

She shouted, "But the root of everything is that we tried to dismantle it! It was just defending itself! It was just resisting. It's the soldiers' job to punish it! Please, I really don't want to die here. We..."

Ou Xiameng shook her head, raised her hand and fired, accurately hitting a giant bird with a wingspan of 15 meters that was swooping down, and said, "There is no absolute justice in the universe. Everything is just Relatively speaking. I don't just want to punish it. I'm a scientific researcher, I want all of it. According to my understanding of the military system, we need to hold on for another minute and don't let it chase us away, otherwise it won't be able to leave. I need your and Sicetta's help. If I rely on myself, it will be too easy for it to throw me into space. "

At this time, the machine guns of the attack ship also opened fire.

The machine guns with the maximum power fired hundreds of times per second, and in the blink of an eye, they wiped out a large number of mechanical flying beasts.

Sicetta's crazy roar rang out in the communicators of Ou Xiameng and Samantha.

As a battle-hardened battlefield elite, he has been suppressed for too long.

Now, he finally found a clear combat target.

He didn't have as many concerns as Nur Ahong, and he was even more lazy to consider and calculate too many things like Ou Xia Meng. He only knew one thing, see the enemy, and kill the enemy.

For a moment, the situation fell into a stalemate.

The mechanical birds controlled by Gaia's will rushed forward fearlessly. Some of them rushed directly to the ship, trying to catch Ou Xia Meng hiding behind the bridge armor, and some rushed to the bottom of the armed ship and pushed it upward.

Ou Xia Meng and Samantha fired their guns one after another.

There was no need to aim carefully, as long as they fired, they would definitely hit something.

The armed ship kept spinning, and the barrel of the machine gun had turned red and hot under the impact of the high-load super-energy reaction.

...

After an unknown amount of time, the intensity of the mechanical bird's attack suddenly slowed down, and it just stopped far away without getting close.

Samantha was already paralyzed on the bridge, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ou Xiameng was also not relieved, but there was a sense of relief on her face.

She looked up at the sky.

In the starry sky, a spinning hammer giant ship about 3,000 kilometers long was quietly parked there.

The star-dropping cannon on the top of the giant ship was emitting terrifying energy waves.

Behind the giant ship, a haze of mist was faintly visible.

It was a dome developed by humans after absorbing the technology of the dome that blocked the solar system tens of thousands of years ago. It had stronger performance and higher control.

Gaia's will on J919 had nowhere to escape.

It had missed the best opportunity to escape. It knew this very well. It gave up.

…

"Gaia's will has been controlling the movement of atoms on the planet. The gun that killed Matsuda Masahito was not a human, but the gun in my hand. The rope that strangled Liang Zhichu was just that rope. The fingerprints on the rope evolved by itself, in order to confuse our judgment. It was his own knife and fork that poisoned Nur Ahong. The metal on the knife and fork was changed in nature and given a highly toxic property."

"Although humans have become so powerful, we cannot deny that our bodies are still fragile. To us, the universe is still incredible and full of dangers. No matter how powerful the technology is, humans still have to be in awe."

Ou Xiameng said this seventy years later.

In the distance, the J919, which has regained its freedom, is slowly drifting away.

From now on, it can go wherever it wants.

Humans did not destroy J919. Ou Xiameng, who cracked all its mysteries, became its communicator and spent seventy years transforming all the wisdom accumulated in its billions of years of life into scientific knowledge that humans can understand.

Humans have obtained a new Gaia battleship.

Different from the unmanned battleships of the past, the Gaia battleship can transform the entire spaceship into a life form, with stronger energy conversion efficiency, better self-repair characteristics, better environmental adaptability, and human-like intelligence that is more coordinated with the galaxy-level master brain.

A hundred years later, the new Gaia battleship will appear in various places in the Virgo Supercluster with the leader Chen Feng, launching a fatal blow to the compound eye civilization that is still resisting.

[Finished, please collect the new book "Resurrection Empire"! This extra chapter is written relatively casually, and there is no elaborate concept. The main purpose is, ahem, to promote the new book. I feel like my blood is strong with the new book, and I feel better about myself. But I still need help from my brothers and sisters. 】
