Chapter 4 But the Dragon City will fly
“Look at what I found?”
In the wide, cold and weird laboratory, more than a dozen Taotie's corpses were placed on different test benches. Zuo Xiaoyou, Wang Junshi and a large number of researchers were conducting different research on these corpses. Zuo Xiaoyou was performing brain dissection of Taotie. During this process, Zuo Xiaoyou found a very tiny square object from Taotie's brain.
When everyone heard this, they gathered over. When Junshi Wang saw this square object the size of a little fingernail, he asked: "What is this? Where did you find it?"
"In Taotie's mind." Zuo Xiaoyou stroked the thin square object, and his eyes were filled with a strange light.
If he admits it wrong, this is clearly a common electronic chip in modern times, and there are even very similar electronic circuits on it. Reminding the command and control of the beast soldiers by the beast king...
Zuo Xiaoyou fell into deep thought.
I thought these Taotie were monsters that the gods threw into the lower realm, but now they are monsters, but the essence of the monster is completely different from what he imagined.
Biological weapons?
No matter how you look at it, they are all biological weapons that exist in science fiction novels! Just like the artificial human in Dragon Ball, although they have flesh and blood, the power in their bodies comes from technology.
A word from Einstein suddenly emerged in Zuo Xiaoyou's mind. When science developed to his end, he realized that God had been waiting for it for thousands of years.
"It's really... terrible!" Zuo Xiaoyou covered his forehead, and there was cold sweat behind him.
"General Zuo, what's wrong?" Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou seemingly uncomfortable, Junshi Wang said with concern.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled reluctantly. He thought it was a world with a bit of mythology, but he didn't expect to enter a world of super high technology.
He didn't know if the end of science was God? But he knew that when science developed to a certain level, he could indeed have God-like abilities.
Is Taotie a life? It is definitely life, with flesh and blood, and wisdom. But they are different from ordinary life. The beginning of their life is technology, and this newly discovered smart chip is the best answer. Moreover, during this period, Mr. Wang discovered the magnets brought by the two Westerners.
Sixty years ago, the same magnet made Taotie lose his power of action. He used to be puzzled, but now it seems that the magnet should have interfered with the brain waves of the beast soldiers, thus causing them to fall into a state of "dormant".
Although these are all speculations and are not supported by a large amount of experimental data, many things can be derived with this smart chip. Taotie is an intelligent life created by the "God". However, this intelligent life is not advanced enough, there are only **s that kill and cannibalize people. And...
This kind of intelligent life requires energy to act, so what is energy? It is obviously human!
The beast king reproduces beast soldiers by eating people. The beast soldiers feed the beast king humans by capturing and feeding the beast king humans, allowing their energy to continue to move and reproduce. As for why Taotie takes 60 years to attack humans? I guess it is the program setting!
Humans will not become extinct, because once humans become extinct, Taotie will no longer have the need to exist. Such a powerful beast, humans could never be stopped by humans, but humans still survived. In this way, Taotie only needs to cause certain damage to humans and let humans know that there is a threat from Taotie in order to survive unitedly.
What does this feel like?
Zuo Xiaoyou thought of cattle and sheep raised by humans. Did humans raise cattle and sheep in order to make cattle and sheep survive? No, it was just providing food resources for humans.
If humans in this world are compared to cattle and sheep, then is gluttony a human?
“…”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head, probably not.
Taotie is more like a wolf on the grassland. In order to prevent the grass on the grassland from being eaten up by too many cattle and sheep, the wolves will prey on cattle and sheep, thereby reducing the number of cattle and sheep, so that the remaining cattle and sheep can have enough food to survive.
Is ecological balance?
If this is the case, it would be too scary.
"What is this thing?" When Zuo Xiaoyou was thinking about it carefully, Junjun Wang was studying the chip. Due to the insights of the times, Junjun Wang could not understand the function and principle of this little thing.
Zuo Xiaoyou came back to his senses and said tiredly: "Maybe it is the receiving device for the contact between the Beast King and the Beast Soldier!"
"Can you do?" Military Secretary Wang was stunned.
Zuo Xiaoyou brought the magnet, and the chip in Mr. Wang's hand was instantly sucked by the magnet.
"This!?" Mr. Wang and other researchers were shocked.
"Sixty years ago, Taotie suddenly stopped moving when it climbed the city. At that time, this magnet was there." Zuo Xiaoyou pulled the chip off the magnet and said, "We boldly guess whether it was the magnet that interfered with the receiver in Taotie's mind, so that it could not receive the command of the Beast King and thus remained still?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Wang Junshi came to his senses and ordered: "Dissess the other Taotie brains immediately."
"yes!"
Not long after, the same chip was found in the minds of other Taotie. In this way, Zuo Xiaoyou's conjecture was greatly confirmed and everyone was very excited. This is a huge improvement in human understanding of Taotie!
"Urgent Military Order! Emergency Military Order! The Palace Commander urgently passed the Left General of Xiong Army! Emergency Military Advisor Wang!"
The sudden military order interrupted everyone's joy. Zuo Xiaoyou and Wang Junshi looked at each other and saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. For some reason, they all had an ominous premonition.
Zuo Xiaoyou and Wang Junshi immediately took off their white coats and quickly walked towards the city heading under the command of the messenger. Seeing that the direction was heading at the city head, the two of them felt even more uneasy.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the top of the city, a large number of Shadowless Imperial Guards had a sad and solemn face, and the other four generals gathered here, as if they were surrounding someone. But there was probably only one who could be surrounded by the generals of the four generals!
"Dians Supervisor!" Zuo Xiaoyou and Wang Junshi hurried forward. Finally, they saw Shao Dianshen, who were covered in blood, lying on a stretcher, dying.
Zuo Xiaoyou saw several blood holes on his body, and his appearance was exactly the same as Taotie's sharp teeth.
"Xiaoyou, you are here..." Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou, a smile appeared on Shao Dianshuai's face, but it was very reluctant and very pale.
"Dians Supervisor..." Zuo Xiaoyou's voice trembled, unable to believe everything in front of him.
Lin Mei had tears in her eyes and hugged Zuo Xiaoyou tightly behind her back: "When the Palace Commander was patrolling the Great Wall, he encountered Taotie's sneak attack..."
Shao Dianshuai's breathing became weaker and said, "They have made progress again and they all know how to attack the vital points." After a few breaths, Shao Dianshuai took out the Shadowless Imperial Guard from his waist to mobilize the gold medal, and said to Zuo Xiaoyou: "General Zuo... I will leave it to you."
"Dians coach..." Zuo Xiaoyou's tiger eyes were filled with tears, and his body trembled even harder.
Shao Dianshui handed him the gold medal, his voice was low and hoarse: "All the generals obey the orders... From today on, General Zuo... is your Dianshui." After saying that, his turbid eyes stared at the other generals of the three armies.
The generals of the Tiger Army, the Eagle Army, the Lu Army, and Lin Mei all knelt on one knee: "All the soldiers of the Imperial Army are willing to accept the leadership of General Zuo, defend their country! Vow to destroy Taotie!"
"Please rest assured to the Palace Commander!"
All the soldiers knelt on the ground: "Please rest assured by the Palace Commander!"
Shao Dianshuai took his last breath and passed away with a smile.
...
Taotie could attack the city at any time, and the Shadowless Imperial Guard did not rest, so he held a funeral for Shao Dianshuai overnight.
The entire army tied leucorrhea on the head, and there were also leucorrhea on the long spear. ignited countless bright lanterns. Accompanied by the tragic drum sound, the entire army sang Qin opera: "The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty was in the Han Dynasty, and the people of thousands of miles of Long March had not returned, but the flying general in Longcheng was there, and the Hu horses were not allowed to cross Yinshan!"
...
Shao Dianshuai's coffin was transported back to Bianliang. If Zuo Xiaoyou wants to become the Dianshuai, he must obtain the permission of the Emperor of Bianliang. This is a necessary process. Even if he is in a hurry, he must leave the procedure that should be taken.
From the Great Wall to Bianliang, it will take two days to ride alone and whip the horse. Shao Dianshuai's coffin is on the carriage. In order to prevent bumps, the speed is definitely not fast. In addition, Bianliang sent people to announce the imperial edict, which will take at least ten days. During this period, Zuo Xiaoyou has already started to drive the power of the Dianshuai, checked the deployment of the entire army, and also asked Mr. Wang and the scientific research team to speed up the research on Taotie.
In addition, the hot air balloon has been successfully studied. Zuo Xiaoyou specially took the hot air balloon out of the Great Wall and went to the direction where Taotie retreated to conduct a high altitude reconnaissance. But what puzzled him was that the hot air balloon flew out more than a hundred kilometers, but he did not see half of Taotie, and he didn't know where these Taotie were hiding?
After several days of reconnaissance, Zuo Xiaoyou stepped up the entire army to patrol the Great Wall with full of doubts, and he would not relax at all.
A few days later, the envoy of Bianliang arrived as scheduled. A young civil servant who looked arrogant and announced the appointment of Zuo Xiaoyou ascended the throne with an imperial edict. He also brought historical materials about Taotie collected in the palace to help the Shadowless Imperial Guard deal with Taotie.
Fortunately, this civil servant is very self-aware and knows that he is not a war material. He only inspects the preparations of the Wuying Imperial Guard inside and outside the Great Wall every day. He found that the Wuying Imperial Guard was well prepared and had a high morale. He couldn't help but nod, and was very satisfied with the ability of Shao Dianshu and Zuo Xiaoyou to govern the army. Only such soldiers can protect our long-term stability in the Song Dynasty.
Although this civil servant is arrogant, he is a sensible person.
...
At the end of the Great Wall, the left and right hand held the battlements with both hands, looking out to the north, with fatigue in his eyes.
He was very tired during these days. Only after sitting in this seat did he know how much pressure Shao Dianshuai had been under before. The sense of responsibility of the whole army's life to one person made him feel a little breathless.
No wonder I always heard the words "one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies." The soldiers in this army are fighting with their lives. Meeting a good commander can greatly improve the survival rate on the battlefield, but once they encounter stupid generals, the soldiers will only be killed or injured in vain.
A light footstep sound came, and Zuo Xiaoyou knew who it was without looking back. He was too familiar with the footstep sound.
"I knew you were here." Lin Mei's voice came from behind: "From childhood, whenever you have troubles, you will come here."
Zuo Xiaoyou turned around and looked at her. Although Lin Mei, wearing military uniform, was as beautiful as ever, she had become much thinner and had the same fatigue as him in her eyes. I guess she had worked very hard these days.
"Why are you here?" Zuo Xiaoyou raised his hand and swept away the dust stained from her hair.
"The morale of the soldiers of the entire army has not declined. Everyone is mentally prepared to defend the Great Wall to the death. You can rest assured." Lin Mei said softly: "So... don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her for a moment, exhaled a long sigh and said, "The lives of all the soldiers in the army and the safety of the people of the Song Dynasty are all on us, so how can we take it down? If you don't talk about me, you have lost a lot these days, I'm afraid you will have to work harder than me."
Lin Mei shook her head: "Compared to what you have undertaken, my hard work is nothing."
The two looked at each other and looked at each other speechlessly.
After a long time, Zuo Xiaoyou turned his head and looked at the sunset in the sky, and whispered: "I'm afraid it's going to fog."
"I'll arrange for the soldiers to inspect."
Looking at Lin Mei's back as she was leaving, Zuo Xiaoyou slowly withdrew her gaze. This is the love on the battlefield. There is not so much romance. Just occasional conversations can comfort each other's hearts.
His eyes turned to outside the city wall again, Zuo Xiaoyou thought.
It has been more than ten days, and Taotie will always send small groups of troops to attack the city every now and then. These small groups are only a thousand Taotie, and they can't even climb the city wall. Every time they attack for a while, they will leave a large number of corpses and escape. I don't know what the Taotie Beast King is thinking? Is it just to let Taotie Beast soldiers die and consume the army's military?
I can’t figure it out, but Zuo Xiaoyou couldn’t even think of the Taotie Beast King’s plan. He could only let the army increase the inspection efforts and not give Taotie an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The number of the Shadowless Imperial Guards is more than 100,000, and three shifts of inspections will not make the soldiers tired, but the tense spirit will invisibly increase the consumption of soldiers. Fortunately, many years ago, Zuo Xiaoyou suggested that Shao Dianshuai set up a literary and artistic corps in the army to gather those soldiers who can sing and dance. During the war, they sing, dance, or tell some jokes and perform some sketches to relax the soldiers in the army. The effect is very good.
Among his army, a young sissy young man was selected into the Art Corps. He sang and danced in his spare time, attracting a large number of fans of the Crane Army. Even some male soldiers with special tendencies were very fond of him and frequently showed goodwill, hoping to be a pair of friends with him, which scared the young man to death.
Thinking of this, Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but smile and felt a little relieved. This relaxation made his mind much more active: "The Great Wall is so strong and there are shadowless imperial guards. It is almost impossible for Taotie to break through, unless he digs a tunnel..."
The left and right eyes are wide open, and the muscles are tight all over the body.
Digging the tunnel!? Can Taotie do it? Thinking of Taotie's huge claws, Zuo Xiaoyou hurriedly turned around and returned to the military camp and issued an order: "The whole army is on guard! Hunting General Wu of the Xiong Army! Hunting General Chen of the Eagle Army! Hunting General Deng of the Lu Army! Hunting General Lin of the He Army! "
Chapter completed!
