Chapter 143 Occupy the Planet
In the laboratory of the United Government, scientists are dissecting the pioneers, analyzing the pioneers' body structure, and understanding the life evolution of the pioneer race for billions of years.
They found that the pioneers had not transformed themselves.
They found obvious traces of gene editing in the pioneers' genes.
The pioneers not only transformed themselves, but also drastically. They added biological tissues that can filter air to themselves, and created multiple organs in their bodies to degrade toxins.
"The pioneers are really interesting."
A scientist pulled out a piece of intestine from the stomach of the dissected pioneer. As he pulled the intestines, he said: "They would rather add a few organs to degrade toxins than change their lifestyle."
According to the original work of "Pacific Rim", the pioneers' lifestyle is to exhaust the pond and catch fish.
They ruined their home planet, causing the entire civilization to fall into the brink of danger. In order to continue their civilization, they began to explore the starry sky and look for other habitable planets.
After finding them, they will carry out interstellar colonization.
But after the colonization is successful, they do not reflect on why their home planet has become so bad, and they are lucky to develop on this planet for a long time.
Instead, they maintained their original lifestyle and continued to destroy the environment of the new planet, making it uninhabitable in a very short time, and then they moved to another planet.
Over and over again.
For hundreds of millions of years, the pioneer civilization did not learn any lessons.
Perhaps for them, interstellar colonization was too easy, and they had never encountered any equal opponents, which led them to think that they were the overlords of the universe.
They felt that they would always have new planets to use, so they did not need to change themselves.
If they were really the overlords of the universe, this idea would certainly be correct, but unfortunately they were not. The reason why they could always go smoothly was entirely because of good luck.
Just like the Earth in the "Three-Body" universe.
There are so many disasters in the universe that can prevent the budding of civilization, and there are so many "gun hunters" wandering in the starry sky, but the Earth has never encountered them once, and has smoothly entered the nuclear civilization era.
Unlike the Three-Body civilization, because it is in an unlucky place with three stars, it does not even know how many times its civilization has been restarted.
Even after entering the interstellar age with trepidation, they are always worried about the future of their civilization, trying every possible way to escape from their home planet and find a beautiful new home for themselves.
In this respect, the pioneer civilization is very similar to the Earth in the "Three-Body" universe.
The difference is that they are luckier than the Earth, and have developed in the universe for hundreds of millions of years without encountering hunters or farmers.
But it is also a kind of misfortune.
Due to the success of the past hundreds of millions of years, they have regarded success as a kind of natural law, and think that they should be successful as a matter of course.
This has planted the root of their destruction - arrogance.
The Star of Noha is the price of arrogance.
The pioneer who is lying on the operating table and being dissected is also a price. Because the medical equipment of the United Government is too advanced, he is even alive and his brain is still very clear, but he can't speak or shout.
Although the United Government gave him anesthesia, he watched his internal organs being taken out, and he knew that the person who took out his internal organs had no intention of putting his internal organs back.
Who understands this feeling? Family members!
"The dissection is almost done. There is nothing in the stomach of this pioneer." The scientist whispered, "They are all pioneers, but their body structures may be completely different. It's really interesting."
The pioneer civilization has a tradition of self-transformation.
For them, adding or removing organs is easier than double eyelid surgery for Earthlings. Since each pioneer has different aesthetics and understandings, the internal structures of the pioneers are different.
The lowest-level pioneers are generally the same, except for the number of differences, and the types are basically the same.
But the pioneers who reach the level of cardinals are very different. According to Zhizi's investigation, creating unique biological organs is a necessary condition for promotion to cardinals, so each cardinal-level pioneer has his own unique organs.
This has caused great difficulties for the research of the United Government.
But again, materials limit the progress of science.
The materials that the pioneers at the cardinal level can access are basically the same. Based on these materials, the imagination born has a limit no matter how wild it is.
In hundreds of millions of years of practical verification, the pioneers have understood what kind of organs they need, and they will not install extra organs for themselves, which basically determines the general type of their organs.
What the United Government needs to do now is to learn the Cardinal's ideas from the strange but consistent organs in the Cardinal's body, and gain experience for human prosthetics and organ implants.
Although the United Government has mastered superb medical skills, it has not yet entered the field of regeneration of severed limbs.
In addition, if we want to further extend human life, enhance human physique, and improve human tolerance to various extreme environments, genetic body modification is essential.
The Pioneer civilization can bring a lot of inspiration to the scientists of the United Government in this regard.
"Take this one down and cremate it."
"Take the next one in."
A scientist speculated: "It is estimated that after dissecting a few hundred cardinals, we can almost understand the internal structure of this level of pioneers."
The scientist's voice was calm, but there was a hint of terrifying madness.
To him, pioneers with the same level of intelligence as humans seemed to be guinea pigs in a laboratory. He could dissect hundreds of them with just opening their mouths, and they were hundreds of cardinal-level pioneers with a certain status.
Other scientists not only did not refute, but also showed expressions of approval.
If this scene were spread to the cells where the pioneers were detained by the coalition government, I am afraid that all the pioneers would be suspicious of Xinsheng and wonder what kind of devil they had provoked.
"Don't put it so bluntly." Another scientist emphasized, "They are called sacrificing themselves for medicine, which is very noble. We must respect them!"
The Coalition Government has captured so many Harbingers on the Star of Noha that they are being imprisoned on the spot.
It's just too much.
This is because the pioneer civilization adopted a strict pyramid system.
The top layer is the bishop-level pioneers of the Senate, the middle layer is the bishop-level pioneers who have not joined the Senate, the bottom layer is the cardinal-level pioneers, and the lower layer is the ordinary messenger-level pioneers-it can only be regarded as the foundation at best.
There are so many lower-level pioneers who serve as the foundation. In areas with dense pioneer populations, they can be said to be everywhere.
The coalition government initially caught him, but then simply ignored him.
As soon as the tearing insect army arrived, those who didn't run away immediately restarted.
It feels a little cruel, but Earth's civilization has never been a bloodthirsty civilization. The reason for this is because the pioneer civilization is a civilization that focuses on interstellar warfare, and almost all members of the clan are soldiers.
Every pioneer who can breathe has received brainwashing education since childhood. When he grew up, he directly joined the army and worked in various departments in the military field.
This is especially true on a military planet like Noha Star.
The pioneers that the coalition government sees are either small pioneers who have not yet had time to join the army, large pioneers who have joined the army, or old pioneers who have retired from the army.
There is nothing that has nothing to do with the military.
The contradiction between Pioneer Civilization and Earth Civilization cannot be bridged, and the coalition government is too lazy to implement a tolerant policy on Noha, a shabby planet that will soon become the main battlefield between Earth Civilization and Pioneer Civilization.
Therefore, the order issued by the coalition government to MOSS is to strangle the enemy's effective forces as much as possible and ensure the continuation of earth's civilization.
MOSS completely understands.
Under its control, no pioneer can escape the attack range of the Ripper Bug alive.
Unless it's a Cardinal-level pioneer.
MOSS will spare their lives.
But their next fate is to be sent to Antarctica for dissection. In a sense, it may be worse than being torn apart by tearing insects on the spot.
As time went by, the flag of the coalition government gradually filled the entire Noha star.
The pioneers can only survive in hiding corners, just like the former owners of this planet.
But their situation is far worse than that of the planet's former owners, because the Rippers search their gathering place pervasively. Once discovered, what awaits them is a flood of Rippers from all directions.
There was no possibility of escape.
Meanwhile, the Senate held its monthly meetings.
The high-ranking elders finally decided to discuss the issue of the attack on Noha's Star, but they suddenly discovered that Noha's Star had lost contact.
The veteran on duty hurriedly pulled out the message from Nuohai Star.
"We can't hold on anymore! Please help!"
"."
"The enemy has a strange weapon that can turn at an acute angle at eight percent the speed of light. It's a technology we can't understand!"
"."
"Great veteran on duty, please convene a regular meeting in advance!"
"."
"Help! Help!"
"."
"Reporting to the Senate, this may be our last report. We have tried all possible means, but none of them can curb the enemy's expansion on the star of Noha. Now there is a torrent of metal everywhere. We can't even escape to space." There is no chance, we failed to save this planet.”
As the message recording played, the faces of the elders became worse and worse, and the elder on duty was even more trembling.
"Ansula, as the elder on duty, why are you reporting such important news now?"
Other elders questioned the elder on duty.
According to the procedure, when the senators on duty receive such important news, they should immediately hold a meeting to discuss it. If the Senate sends reinforcements early, the Star of Noha will not fall into the hands of the enemy.
The elder on duty, known as Ansula, had a pale face. He wanted to quibble, but he didn't get the chance.
"Deprive Ansula of his status as a senator!"
"Send him back to retire!"
"Now we will discuss this enemy who has occupied the Star of Noha, decide our great strategy, and make them regret their foolish actions!"
