Chapter 83
Once things start to take shape, solving them doesn't seem so difficult.
After all, Proton Star's technology is far behind. Even though Chang Lin cleared out a whole new production factory in the central city for Xu Zhiheng and equipped him with a group of experts who are already the pillars of Proton Star as helpers, it is still far behind the productivity of the empire.
But compared to this, the biggest problem is the lack of required materials.
They did some calculations and realized that even if they used all the available materials and produced day and night, they could only supply half of the city's gene-infected people at most. But according to Xu Zhiheng, this antagonist has special properties and needs to be used on the infected aliens on the day it is made. It will not deteriorate when exposed to air, but it will deteriorate over time. What's more, if his student Xi Yuan is excluded, Xu Zhiheng is the only one doing this kind of research in the entire empire. Therefore, even if Proton Star wants to ask the empire for help again, the other party will not be able to provide more support.
After all, the greatest support has been sent, which is a manifestation of the empire's attention to this autonomous small planet.
Xu Zhiheng's words began to be verified one by one. After the water supply was cut off, as long as the people who had come into contact with the water as domestic water before the interruption were excluded, the subsequent residents indeed showed no signs of infection.
It was as if the planet had finally come alive, and even the people could not contain their gratitude. They waited every day in places where the mechas might appear, just to express their gratitude.
Xu Zhiheng is responsible for rescuing the infected aliens, so the team must fundamentally solve the problem of preventing this gene from spreading.
The source of the genes could no longer be found, but the entire water circulation system outside the central city was completely cleaned up.
So the soldiers who were used to using mechas as combat weapons used these extremely advanced equipment for the first time to do other things, such as working as repairmen - rebuilding the entire Proton Star's water system.
m2742 used his lightsaber and high-intensity energy to cut off the water supply source that had been working for many years. Lu Anhe's Zeus had a high defense and was responsible for resisting the impact caused by violent demolition and other reasons. Due to the limitation of cosmic garbage, the remaining mechas were responsible for other follow-up work. They completely destroyed the original system, raised the source of the entire system, cleaned it in a reverse cycle, and introduced it into the deserted Chris Port. After all the construction was completed, they began to put new water sources into circulation again. After being inspected and confirmed by Xu Zhiheng, these cities that were once in danger of being abandoned finally ushered in new life.
This job is undoubtedly new to the pilots. Some even joked that they did not expect that they were selected into the Imperial Mecha Base because they graduated from a military academy and their mental strength and pheromones were many times better than those of ordinary people. They did not expect that they could experience a different professional feeling when they came out on a mission.
Of course, jokes aside, the soldiers took it very seriously - after all, doing this kind of thing is undoubtedly much easier than gritting their teeth and following orders to "slaughter".
But Xu Zhiheng still doesn't have enough materials.
On the third day, when the fleet rebuilt a new circulation system and returned to the central city, Xu Zhiheng was waiting there.
Xu Zhiheng still seemed to be very bothered about what happened that day.
In fact, he had mentioned the young man from Likoro City to He Yunting more than once these days, saying that since he had proven himself, it meant that the young man could still be saved, and he hoped to send a mecha to bring him back.
Unfortunately, He Yunting never agreed once.
He Yunting didn't even give a reason when he refused, and Xu Zhiheng finally gave up after trying several times.
He Yunting was too cautious and was unwilling to take the last survivor of the city on the mecha. Now that these few days have passed, how is the other party doing? What kind of mood will he be in when he sees the scene in front of him after recovering? Or, does he need psychological counseling? Of course, in that dead city, it is impossible to respond to such questions.
Xu Zhiheng sighed, and after realizing that this matter was impossible to explain, he calmed down and spoke to He Yunting again, telling him about the shortage of materials.
He Yunting had a cold expression, but he still answered Xu Zhiheng: "If Professor Xu has a solution, then the team can follow your instructions."
Xu Zhiheng thought for a moment and said, "If we continue to inject each person one by one, the workload will be too great, but the key point is that too few people can be saved."
He Yunting remained silent.
He paused and said, "Maybe we still need to borrow the mechas of the sergeants."
-
It has to be said that Xu Zhiheng is always at the forefront in his field. The experts at Proton Star have considered this idea, but ultimately gave up because it was too difficult to implement.
They considered whether they could dilute the antagonist and distribute it in doses to each city in need. After all, although there has been a turn for the better, those aliens that have not yet received treatment are still destroying the Proton Star. As long as the problem of the aliens is not finally solved, their reconstruction and recovery will be delayed again and again.
Xu Zhiheng's research on genetics and life sciences completely exceeded the level that Proton Star experts could have imagined, and he proposed another innovative way to solve this problem.
The antagonist is re-molecularized and turned into an aerosol using a special device. First, the aliens that partially infected the city are gathered together as much as possible, and then the aerosol is charged into the molecular charging system of the mecha, and released in mid-air instead of injection.
Certain molecular weights of special aerosols can penetrate through the skin of these alien species, achieving the effect in another way.
This not only solves the problem of insufficient materials, but also avoids the tedious method and risk of injecting all the foreign particles one by one.
As long as it is a beneficial move, even if He Yunting has many dissatisfactions with Xu Zhiheng, he will cooperate like he did in the first experiment. Therefore, the formation mecha has a new working direction after switching to become a repairman.
The people of Proton Star had only seen a glimpse of mechas of this level on the Internet or satellite TV, but they never expected to see one up close and personal under such circumstances.
Even if many residents are not infected, they will wait for the mechas to drop aerosols and then lean against the window, excitedly wanting to get a glimpse of the faces of these big guys. Some young children who are inexperienced and don't know the seriousness of the incident and are interested in mechas are so excited that when the mechas appear, they point to the sky with great interest and say with longing, "This is the most advanced mecha in the interstellar space."
After the opening of communications, some media and spontaneous non-governmental organizations could not help but record this moment. Even though Proton Star was still quite far away from the Empire and interplanetary communications were rare, there were always reports praising the Empire's support that spread out, turning it into a good story.
-
The empire's best scholars used incredible methods to develop an antagonist that could inhibit this gene. The aliens no longer hurt people and began to get better, and the imperial admirals cooperated all the way. The two sides worked closely together and jointly solved the major problem of the proton star - when the information reached the empire, this was basically all the information.
Due to the time difference and Lin Han's recent increased workload, it was always late when Qi Jiamu sent him home. He Yunting was mostly on a mission at that time, so the two hadn't been in contact for several days.
Today, a group of students from the Imperial Army Datong major came to the institute for internship. As usual, Lin Han will help them familiarize themselves with the basic procedures and then give them a class to summarize.
Since the students only arrived in the afternoon, Lin Han arranged all the important work in the morning. In order not to delay the work, Qi Jiamu even sent him in an hour early.
Lin Han went with him to visit his brother again these two days. Compared with his previous stiffness, he seemed to have recovered a lot.
Qi Jiaze's glands still needed continuous support. He could now recognize who was looking for him. Although he still couldn't make a sound, when he saw Qi Jiamu, he would open his mouth hard and try to call out the other person's name with difficulty.
Thinking of this, Lin Han recalled the news of the past few days. It seemed that everything was good, except for himself, who still had a trace of uneasiness in his heart for unknown reasons.
As he thought about this, he calculated the time and got up to go to the lounge to get nutritional supplements.
His daily routine has been much more regular recently than before he met He Yunting, except that sometimes he couldn't help but work overtime. In most cases, Qi Jiamu would drive the aircraft to the entrance of the institute to pick him up on time.
Colleagues have become accustomed to this aircraft in the past few days. Many of them speculated that Lin Han must have found a powerful boss this time, who must be rich or noble. After all, land in the core area is extremely valuable, and if you want to have a private aircraft, you must have your own parking spot, and those who have parking spots for aircraft are almost all upper-class people.
There is a large terrace in the lounge, and Lin Han took some nutritional supplements and sat down beside it.
He unscrewed the package of the nutrient and subconsciously wanted to frown when he smelled the smell he hated, but in the end he drank it mouthful by mouthful with a blank expression.
Just as he was about to throw away the discarded packaging, two colleagues came in to get coffee. They met Lin Han and greeted him with a smile.
One of the colleagues happened to see the scene before He Yunting left. At that time, He Yunting had no time to go back, so he could only drive the mecha directly to the gate of the research institute to find Lin Han.
It just so happened that this colleague was also a gossiper. He was not in the same department with Lin Han, so he could never get any news. He was curious, and he had seen the aircraft coming to pick up Lin Han in the past few days. Perhaps it was the gossipy mood that made him finally bolder and called out to Lin Han.
Lin Han has recently started wearing gloves again, so when his colleague grabbed him, he just pushed him away slightly but didn't shake him off in the end.
The other party first expressed some concern for Lin Han, such as asking him to work less overtime, and also advised him that there were students coming for an internship this afternoon, so it was a good opportunity for him to relax a little and not be so tense.
When Lin Han first learned that he had the ability to read minds, he accidentally read the thoughts of many of his colleagues. In fact, no one had any bad intentions, and because Lin Han was an omega, they would subconsciously take care of him, even though this care sometimes carried with it a sense of superiority from being satisfied with one's own second gender.
Seeing that Lin Han did not show obvious disgust, the colleague felt relieved and could not help asking further: "By the way, you don't wait for public aircraft anymore recently. We see that you have a private aircraft for pick-up."
Lin Han had expected someone to ask this question, so he answered frankly, "Yes."
The colleague's eyes lit up: "That's good. It's a good thing for an omega to have someone to protect him."
He changed the subject and continued tentatively, "And the hospital actually takes care of omegas. Are you...something wrong?"
My colleague was polite enough to add, "Of course, if it offends me or I don't want to say it, just ignore me."
Lin Han didn't really dislike this kind of harmless gossip. Moreover, he didn't deliberately hide his relationship with He Yunting. It was just that He Yunting was too cautious and feared that their relationship would be exposed and would cause any harm to Lin Han, so he obediently agreed.
So when he heard such a question, he just said noncommittally: "I guess so."
Seeing that Lin Han did not deny it, the other party quickly said several words of congratulations: "After all, it is not easy for an omega to find a home, and we sincerely wish you all the best."
Lin Han nodded distantly: "Thank you."
He stopped talking and didn't want to talk any more, and was about to push open the door of the lounge and walk out.
"etc!"
The colleague stopped him with the thought, "Since I've already asked, I might as well gossip a little more."
Lin Han always looked restrained and polite at the research institute, and he was most interested in mechas. They never thought that Lin Han would really find an alpha one day - but the alpha that an omega like Lin Han would like might not necessarily be someone like them.
My colleague asked, half enviously, "What kind of person is he?"
Maybe he is an industry tycoon or heir to a chaebol.
When Lin Han heard the other party ask this, he stopped.
The colleague was a little nervous, not knowing what answer Lin Han would give.
Could it be possible that his alpha might be related to royal bloodline…?
While the other party was still making wild guesses, Lin Han stood at the door with a calm expression. He thought seriously for a moment, then looked down at the nutritional supplement package he had thrown away. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and his voice had a hint of laughter.
"He is... a very ordinary person."
-
Gossip spread quietly in the hospital because of Lin Han's answer. Some people said that Lin Han's expression at the time did not seem like he was lying, and maybe the other party was not a big shot, but just a businessman who made some money.
But some people are skeptical and think that it is probably a mysterious person whose name they have never even heard of.
But Lin Han didn't care about these. In the afternoon, he welcomed a new group of trainees from the Imperial Army as arranged.
These students are the best in the Imperial Army's major, so they were selected to intern at the research institute. They are all young and have the vitality unique to this age. Lin Han was very free and unassuming when teaching, and it was easy to get along with him.
After visiting the institute, he habitually gave the students some rest time, while he continued to sit at the laboratory table to do research. If students had any questions, they could come up and ask at any time.
Some children would also take this opportunity to chat. Halfway through the time, Lin Han heard what they were talking about.
In the past, he would definitely not care, but when he heard a certain name, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
It is an event related to proton stars.
Some people mentioned Xu Zhiheng, and naturally some people also mentioned He Yunting.
The students were all young and energetic, so when talking about this topic they would happily express their thoughts. In addition, Lin Han was approachable, so their voices became louder and louder.
"I heard that the Admiral and his men will be back soon."
"Yes, there has been news in the past few days. Didn't you see it? It seems that Proton Star is now particularly grateful to the Empire and even said that it would build a statue for this special mission."
"Yes, Professor Xu from our school has developed an antagonist. I've been to his lecture before." A female student interrupted.
"I've heard that Professor Xu seems to be quite impressive, but I've never been to his lectures." Another omega student held his face with his hands, his eyes sparkling with longing, "But when I watch the news, I still like the Admiral more."
"He's so impressive! If anyone could date him..." The student even laughed at his own imagination. "Forget it, forget it. I'll just talk."
"Who wants to date an admiral?" One of the students suddenly lowered his voice, "You might die without knowing how."
He looked arrogant and domineering, and at first glance he was a resident of the inner-city area who grew up in a wealthy family.
"My father is in charge of connecting to Proton Star Communications." The boy boasted in his tone, as if he was asked not to say it, but he still couldn't hide the secret and said angrily, "I've heard it all... The Admiral is obviously an indiscriminate killer."
