Chapter 391 What... Fifty-six years? !

Ma Dafeng lay on the hospital bed, his eyes weakly open, looking at the empty ceiling. Perhaps because he had just woken up from hibernation, his mind was a mess and occasionally he felt the urge to cough from his lungs.

On the bedside table is a life monitoring device that displays heart rate, blood pressure and other human data, and there is a bottle of saline solution hanging on the hand.

As a user with "sealing" abilities, he has been infected by distorted power ever since he sealed the soul of the "Great Spiritualist". His skin has become like an octopus, and even his limbs have turned into octopus tentacles, with suction cups and tumors growing on them.

He had already lost all memory of what happened afterwards. At that time, he just relied on his last breath to endure the pain that was so horrific as to be like hell.

He only remembered that there was a war going on among human beings and he escaped from a flying saucer...

It was not until today that it saw the light of day again.

"Am I dead, or am I alive?"

Ma Dafeng gradually came back to his senses and looked at his palms, which had unexpectedly become somewhat delicate and smooth.

The distortion...disappeared? How many years have passed?

Seeing the time on the wall, he was a little confused. What kind of Pangu joke was this? How come fifty-six years had passed? Was he traveling through time?

Some gurgling sounds came out of Ma Dafeng's throat, but he was too weak to say anything.

"Hey, buddy, are you awake? Congratulations, you've been awarded the second-class merit. You're a hero."

"Don't be surprised. It's indeed been fifty-six years. It's really... shocking, haha. I had the same expression when I woke up just now."

Next to him was a soldier who had woken up earlier. His two legs had been cut off and he looked like a human pig. He was bragging and talking nonsense with a cheerful look on his face.

"I... cough, cough, cough!" Ma Dafeng started coughing violently.

"Old Ma, your situation is not the worst. As long as you transplant the Zerg organs, you can dispel the distortion force."

"The whole process can be completed through a minimally invasive surgery, and you won't even feel anything."

"But some of our comrades have mutated too severely and their brains have been infected. Scientists have no choice but to inject some Zerg genes into them."

"This is also helpless. It is better to live a miserable life than to die..."

Ma Dafeng covered his mouth, looking confused. What are you talking about?

However, as the perception ability gradually recovered, it was really great to be alive! ! Not only Ma Dafeng, but all the soldiers in the ward felt like they had survived a disaster after thinking about it.

Fifty years! It took scientists fifty years to rescue them from the hands of the "ghost". This can only be described as "noble grace"!

There were footsteps in the corridor.

Ma Dafeng and others were the last group of patients to wake up from coma. The expert group still carefully examined everyone's physical condition.

A female assistant nearby asked several common cognitive questions, such as "202-11=", "What is your name", "What color is this", "The name of your relatives", etc.

Ma Dafeng responded very well, which made everyone feel relieved. A small number of survivors will have cognitive errors, memory loss and other problems, the proportion is about 0.5%.

"No, no need to thank me. I said I would save you. This is just fulfilling my promise. So no need to thank me." Professor Lu Tiantian said this while inspecting the ward.

"Major Ma, do you have that special feeling?"

Ma Dafeng hesitated for a while, and tried to squeeze out a few words: "My hands and feet...are a little numb, and I feel very strong for some reason...but now I feel very weak. In short, it's very strange. My eyesight has also improved, as if I can see dust."

Many professors and doctors looked at each other and said, "There is one more enhanced person. This is a positive enhancement."

One of the female doctors said excitedly: "Record it in the file, and I will be responsible for the follow-up investigation later."

Among the soldiers who used the "Zerg organ transplant" repair program, about one-tenth experienced inexplicable physical evolution.

The Zerg organs are too complicated, and many of their mechanisms have not been completely deciphered. Even if the organ has been removed through surgery and does not involve genetic changes, it still releases a lot of idealistic substances, various hormones, etc. during the few days it is in the body, which enhances the human body.

This evolution includes muscle enhancement, increased nerve reaction speed, enhanced digestive ability, cardiovascular enhancement, enhanced coagulation function, improved vision, etc.

Because most of the evolutions were positive, the "Zerg organ transplant and repair" program was not terminated.

As for those who were injected with Zerg genes for repair, 90% showed a small amount of evolution. There were about 865 soldiers in this group.

This incident naturally attracted the attention of many scientists. If there are really no side effects, then it is a blessing in disguise, and the next generation of strengthening plan will be officially put on the agenda.

It's called the Human Enhancement Plan! "Rest well and wait for the day when you can fully recover."

After Professor Lu Tiantian and others finished exploring the ward, they left the hospital in a happy mood. The last batch of more than 3,000 patients will get better within a month.

In 7 years, 180,000 patients have all recovered!

Humanity has defeated the [Deformed Ghost]! What a miracle this is! It is a blessing in disguise, opening up an era for living things!

After 50 years of crazy investment, it was really crazy investment. Humans have absorbed the biotechnology of Nanyu civilization, and can even use a small part of the power of [ghosts]. They have also trained so many well-known professors. This is definitely the best era for biological evolution! "Squeak!" The sound of brakes rang out from the street.

"Major, what's the hurry?"

"Award ceremony! The commander-in-chief invites you to come over! He is waiting impatiently!"

"Oops, I actually forgot!" Lu Tiantian's pupils dilated and he slapped his head.

Major Lu Ying drove an electric van, loaded the professors into the car, and drove away at lightning speed.

In the previous battle, Lu Ying's soul was damaged because he had two incompatible abilities. He was originally thought to be beyond redemption...

But today’s human medical technology is incomparable to that of the past.

In the process of fighting against the [Deformed Ghost], the professors invented a soul repair potion and forcibly rescued Lu Ying. Everyone's worries were in vain...

To be frank, the medical technology, biological ability, and genetic technology of human beings are not inferior to those of level 3 or even level 4 civilizations! "Warmly Celebrate the 56th Anniversary of the Victory of the Nanyu War!" - A red banner hung above the road, fluttering in the wind.

Many patients who had just recovered leaned against the windows and stared at the banner in a daze. "Fifty-sixth anniversary? How come it's already fifty-six years?" Along the way, green grass and blooming flowers filled the air. The city in the sky has once again regained its former vitality.

Students appeared on campus again, and the sound of reading and laughter could be heard from afar.

Factories are also resuming production and the number of patients in hospitals is visibly decreasing.

All history is human history. Only by experiencing the decline can one know the value of prosperity; only by feeling the scene of population decline can one understand the significance of passing on the torch.

The honor ceremony was held in the central square near the poppy tree.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan stepped onto the podium on time.

His face was flushed as he said, "Friends, comrades, hello everyone. Today is the 54352nd day of the Ninth Era of Pangu Continent, and it is also the 56th anniversary since the end of the war between us and the Nanyu Civilization."

"Yes, you heard it right. It has indeed been 56 years... You may not have the impression that time has passed, but our heroes have made many efforts over the years..."

Lu Yuan prepared a lot for this speech and told many stories that happened in the process.

“It’s not easy for us to win this war.”

"In particular, we suffered a lot of casualties... They were brave and fearless, and the deeds of these soldiers will be remembered forever."

In the minds of many ordinary people, this is actually a bit surprising.

Time passes really fast. I hibernate today and wake up tomorrow, but I can no longer see my old comrades. I can't help but get wet in my eyes and feel sad in my heart.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

And there are more than a thousand more names on the Heroes Monument.

But this war is also the best education.

Especially for children, they truly know that the world is terrible and the only warm and reliable place is their hometown. Only by building their own civilization can they become strong and protect themselves. This kind of education cannot be bought with money.

Lu Yuan said affectionately: "The dead are gone, we must live well with them in mind. Their stories will be remembered forever in our textbooks."

He changed the subject: "Here, we need to commend some outstanding workers! They have contributed so much to the continuation of mankind."

“It may be difficult for you to imagine their hardships, but after seeing their faces, you will understand the difficulties and hardships behind this victory.”

"Let us invite Lu Tiantian, Lu Linsen... these 12 professors to the stage."

Twelve professors who were the main researchers took to the podium. When people saw their gray-haired faces and trembling steps, they couldn't help but fall silent in front of the TV and in the square.

The passing of life and time is truly shocking.

"Let us congratulate them and award them the medal of hero of humanity!"

"Hua La La (*warm applause)"

This is also something Lu Yuan has been considering for a long time.

A civilization with rewards and punishments is the right way.

"Human Hero" is currently the highest level title, and the title enjoys S-level benefits permanently.

In the past, the S-level judging criteria were extremely difficult. How can I describe the difficulty? It was equivalent to the first-class merit in the Great Dong Kingdom’s army. Those who could survive and get the first-class merit were all super awesome people.

These 12 people are definitely qualified.

In addition to these 12 professors, Second Lieutenant Lu Ying was also awarded the title of "Hero of Humanity".

His contribution was indeed very great. He risked his soul to find the underwater ruins. Otherwise, it would be unknown who would win or lose in this war! Lu Ying grinned foolishly, winked at his wife in the audience, looked smug, and made a gesture secretly.

Look, I am a human hero now. No matter how strong my wife is, can she still bully a "human hero"? !

Lu Yuan personally hung the medal on him, patted him on the shoulder, and privately advised: "Be nice to your wife, don't always bully her."

"She is the one who bullies me every day!" Brother Ying muttered in a low voice.

Little Mirage Dragon and Ms. Conch also stepped onto the podium with honor. Well, each dragon and each person naturally had important functions, and their achievements were definitely S-level.

However, Ms. Conch only showed up, hung a medal around her neck, and left in a hurry.

She had to seal that [Deformed Ghost], which was really a difficult thing for Lu Yuan.

The little mirage dragon shook its head and tail, feeling very happy. It subconsciously believed that it was a member of the human race, and it was natural for it to receive the medal.

Under the title of "Human Hero" are two other medals, "Human Warrior" and "Human Elite". There are quite a lot of people there, and it took Lu Yuan more than an hour to finish this grand award ceremony.

The applause gradually stopped, and he said directly without any formality: "Dear friends, please be quiet. We humans have experienced a war, and only then did we realize that we still have many shortcomings."

"An ancient alien, plus a controlled Nanyu civilization, almost wiped us out. This is the disparity between civilizations. You have to know that we are only a second-level civilization, and there are still many gaps that need to be filled."

"But I firmly believe that we can rekindle the spark of our ideals and rise to the third level civilization, the fourth level civilization, or even a more powerful civilization."

"Let us strive and fight for a better tomorrow!"

He sighed softly, "In addition, after we have cut off a coral island of the Nanyu civilization, we must set off again. We have been delayed here for too long. There is no future in indulging in comfort. We must consider the more distant future!"

"Let us take courage, continue on our journey and keep traveling."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the camera and then walked off the stage.

Yes, as most of the troops have woken up, we do have to consider continuing the journey.

The engineering team is cutting a coral island with an area of ​​10 square kilometers. After transplanting the Pandora crystal anti-gravity system, this island can be directly incorporated into the sky city.

Since the reproduction rate of marine life is much higher than that of terrestrial life, people plan to fill the foundation with 100 meters of sea water and cultivate marine life in large quantities with coral islands as the center.

Even if the Sky City leaves the ocean, this marine aquaculture base can still provide a large amount of production and cultivate more talents.

This award ceremony was obviously a success.

Laughter and flowers are given to the heroes and to the names on the tombstones.
