Skeleton Elf
Chapter 18 Did You Sleep Well?
"Brother Hao, an EMP god has emerged, holy crap, have you seen it? So awesome, totally crushing the Martian dogs! Can you imagine it? Using a Battle Tiger to smash a Sirius V6, that guy was so tilted he went AFK! I heard that Ace's Flame Wolf team fired Stein. Haha, the most satisfying thing of the year!" Zuo Xiaotang said excitedly, and used Tianxun to display a picture, which was the Battle Tiger's pose.
"Isn't there a kind of domineering air of being unrivaled in the world? Too cool, like he just charged out from a million soldiers."
Li Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're adding too much drama. It's just a battle."
"Brother Hao, you're just jealous. This is the most satisfying victory recently, and it was against a Martian warrior with some weight. The Tianxun EMP section is already the fifth hottest search. I dare say, this pilot is a veteran who's been through many battles. Every gesture is full of contempt for the opponent. This feeling is so good! I said that our Earth is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Hmph, we'll definitely win back this year!" Ma Long could represent the views of a considerable number of people. Although they had lost, could Earth's foundation be underestimated? A three-peat? Dream on.
Wu Zang was still relatively calm. "Guys, do you want to come to my house this weekend? My grandfather invited you."
"Sounds good. Can I bring my girlfriend? I heard that your Wu family owns the oldest mansion in Tianjing. It's a good opportunity to broaden my horizons." Ma Long was very interested.
"Sure."
As far as Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang were concerned, as long as there was food, it was fine.
"Ma Long, what's the core of the last two points..." Zuo Xiaotang asked.
Ma Long got hyped. He's teachable! In the dormitory, only Ma Long was left, endlessly imparting his experience, from theory to cases, guiding the others... Why does it always feel like bragging? But I have to say, the other three were listening with great interest.
In this regard, Ma Long was also a god.
The next morning, many people didn't eat breakfast, to avoid throwing up later during the cosmic biology class.
Li Hao, Ma Long, and a few others arrived early. As they were talking, Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong also came. These two were recently popular figures, and their newly formed team had attracted much attention. Zhou Naiyi, with her ponytail, and Ye Tong, with her neat short hair, immediately attracted everyone's attention. The two had been inseparable recently, obviously sharing common goals and topics.
Seeing Li Hao, Ye Tong's eyes lit up, and she directly pulled Zhou Naiyi over. Ma Long was sensible and immediately gave up a seat, kicking Zuo Xiaotang in the process.
"Second Brother, did you sleep well?" Ye Tong said, leaning over.
Li Hao caught a faint fragrance and couldn't help but touch his nose. The surrounding people glanced sideways.
What? Sleep? Sleep what?
"Don't cause trouble." Li Hao couldn't figure out what this little chubby girl was thinking. Did she just like teasing people?
Ye Tong and Zhou Naiyi smiled lightly and let him go. Such a beautiful scene still made the surrounding boys unable to help but pay attention. The overall male-to-female ratio at Tianjing Mecha Academy was 6:4, with more boys. Excellent girls were in a state of being besieged as soon as they entered freshman year. Even if they weren't enlightened in the same year, there were still seniors, right?
Zhou Naiyi had received flowers several times a week throughout her freshman year, and it took several months to stop this situation, making the suitors give up. In Ma Long's words, most girls were afraid of being "pestered," but Zhou Naiyi, who had clear goals, was an exception.
Now there was another Ye Tong. Ye Tong's methods were much fiercer than Zhou Naiyi's. It wasn't impossible to date her, but winning against her was the first step. More than a dozen people were already lying in the infirmary, and the suitors finally calmed down a bit.
After all, she was Tong-shen (God Tong); her fighting power wasn't just for show.
As Professor Nijinsky entered, the noisy classroom quieted down.
According to the "Butcher's" habit, this was a large lecture that included freshmen, and there was a high probability that there would be a dissection practice.
Nijinsky, a professor of cosmic biology, was nicknamed the Butcher by students because he liked to dissect various creatures in class.
The course mainly focused on the fusion of genetic technology and the human body, including natural selection and dominant traits on different planets in the solar system. Now, of course, it included silicon-based lower giant insect life from Kepler-22b. It could be said that this was the most popular research in various colleges in the solar system, truly meaning extraterrestrial life, and the students were very enthusiastic.
Not only that, as a top military academy in Earth, Tianjing Mecha Academy had samples.
Seeing the three-hundred-person lecture hall packed to the brim, Nijinsky was quite satisfied, and his extremely iconic mustache perked up.
"Students, especially freshmen, today I will open the door to a new world for you, with surprises."
Get ready. There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Of course, many were unconvinced. Why?
Those who could enter Tianjing Mecha Academy's military direction had quite good psychological qualities.
Nijinsky opened Tianxun, playing precious data about Kepler-22b. "Isn't it beautiful? Kepler planets are God's gift to mankind, with more beautiful natural environments, abundant water resources, mineral resources, and unparalleled habitability than Earth. The atmospheric structure is almost the same as the original Earth, and the gravity is only a little more than twice ours. The difficulty of transformation is extremely low, especially since it contains important elements that currently restrict our Earth's advance into the galaxy."
Some data was not open to the outside world. The beautiful scenery, gorgeous colors, and magical flora and fauna greatly touched everyone. The classroom boiled. Developing Kepler, no matter what identity you entered with, meant unlimited prospects.
Nijinsky smiled, his mustache twitching a few times. "Beautiful, right? Let's look at the other side."
Immediately following were pictures of appalling scenes. Steel-forged bases were easily torn apart, and a large number of giant insects poured in. The surface of the giant insects, like the beauty of Kepler, shone with a silver halo under the Kepler "sun." The red color was all human blood.
At the same time, images from space were shown. "This is the ground. Those of you in the Starship Department, aren't you very happy that the Air Force has high benefits and low risks? Right? Come, this is the situation of the fleet in space."
In the images, blue light spheres passed through Kepler's thick atmosphere and shot into space. Once they entered a certain distance, the light spheres rushed towards the warships as if they were attracted, and the warships' energy shields could not provide enough protection. One warship after another turned into a sea of fire. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
One small lifeboat after another was launched into the sky, but most of them didn't even have time to enter the lifeboat before they died in space.
Nijinsky observed the students' expressions and knocked on the blackboard. "This is the real Kepler. It's not a resort area yet, so everyone perk up. Today we're going to talk about genes..."
It had to be said that the two completely opposite states made all the students calm down and start listening carefully to Nijinsky's lecture. Genetics was mainly about Event gene natural adjustment.
"The so-called golden gene is just a name. Those who can enter Tianjing Mecha Academy have some in their bodies, so you don't need to be complacent. In fact, the genetics community now believes that two perfect genes are about to appear, or have already appeared: the first is perfect adjustment, and the second is perfect reversion to antiquity. Anyone know about these?"
Nijinsky looked at the people who raised their hands. "Okay, Ye Tong, please tell us."
"Professor, the first type is the combination of excellent genes, which produces offspring who perfectly inherit the advantages. When it reaches a certain limit, perfect adjustment will occur. The second type is a wonderful phenomenon. The bodies of these people will reject adjusted genes. Because genes are selected for their survival of the fittest, even better natural genes will replace the adjusted genes. This is called reversion to antiquity, and when this state reaches a certain peak, perfect reversion to antiquity occurs."
Ye Tong attracted everyone's attention. Excellent girls were naturally highly regarded, of course, she was used to it.
"Very good. The two are not completely isolated, but alternately appear in the human body in a wonderful way. This is our human advantage and the gift of the universe..." Nijinsky motioned for Ye Tong to sit down.
Ye Tong leaned close to Li Hao's ear. "Second Brother, Xilian is the first case. The Molafees family has been committed to this, but I think the latter is stronger. The former is human selection, and the latter is God's selection."
Li Hao's ear was a little itchy. This girl was blowing into his ear...
"Class!"
A pile of jealous eyes surrounded them. These young people, full of vigor and enthusiasm, couldn't stand it. Why Li Hao?
"I'm in class," Ye Tong said with a playful provocation.
Li Hao always felt that Ye Tong was doing it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
Nijinsky continued to play the content on Tianxun. "First, let me introduce several types of giant insects. Some of you may face this situation in the future. We want to develop Kepler, and first we must ensure safety. Long-term gravity tolerance of more than twice the Earth's requires first-class mobile warriors and starship fleets, so most will be selected from the military and existing military academies. As a teacher, first I hope you can survive, or at least live a few more days."
"These are the five most common types: Razor Giant Insect, Corrosion Giant Insect, Lurker, Flame Bomb Giant Insect, and High-Energy Worm."
Razor Giant Insect, 5 tons to 20 tons, has sharp, mantis-like claws that can easily tear apart mechs.
Corrosion Giant Insect, about 50 tons, can spray deadly corrosive acid that can dissolve metal and has the ability to mimic.
Lurker, about 30 tons, has a pair of mandibles and six pairs of lower legs, specializes in burrowing, has the ability to mimic on its back, and can also eject barbed claws to drag all prey underground.
Flame Bomb Giant Insect, over 200 tons, can spray high-energy flames, and its shell is parasitized by bomb insects, which are ejected once an enemy approaches, with an explosive force equivalent to 1 ton of TNT.
High-Energy Worm, over 200 tons, is like a huge earthworm, moves slowly, can form biological nuclear fission inside, has two radar-like tentacles on top of its head, and can spew high-energy bullets from its mouth. Humans encountered attacks from high-energy worms when they first arrived at Kepler, and more than a dozen warships were destroyed.
"High-energy worms have interstellar strike capabilities, which means that their high-energy bullets can break through the atmosphere and directly strike space targets, and they have a certain ability to explore. As for how they locate, we don't know yet."
Next, the giant insect's organizational structure was analyzed, and their attack methods would be further explained in the future. In fact, even fools could see that these giant insects were just primitive in appearance, but in some ways they were not inferior to humans.
"You are lucky. A living one arrived a few days ago. Next, we will go to the laboratory for a visit."
