Uncle Tai was urgently summoned to Fortress 82.
When he arrived above Fortress 82, the battle had not completely ceased. Clearance units were mopping up small groups of Blade Beasts inside the fortress, and urgently repairing the fortress's breaches.
As he looked out the window of the transport plane, he could see endless, war-torn sandy land.
The craters were the artillery shells' kiss to the earth, and also humanity's powerful counterattack against the Blade Beast civilization.
The Blade Beast corpses piled up like mountains were either being loaded into containers or burned on the spot.
A King-level Blade Beast corpse, like a mountain of flesh, lay across the sandy ground, with several General-level Blade Beast corpses scattered around it. A large number of vehicles were cutting and processing this giant Blade Beast on the periphery.
Huh?
A certain area below was covered with smoke bombs, the thick smoke blocking Uncle Tai's view.
Was there a secret location to avoid satellite detection?
Uncle Tai's gaze was then drawn to the aerospace carrier slowly sailing into the distance, his eyes filled with admiration.
The aerospace carrier represents humanity's highest current technological level and industrial integration capability. It can only be produced by space fortresses. In the past few decades, it was once hailed as the ultimate weapon for human civilization to counterattack the Blade Beasts.
It's just that the cost is too high, and the energy efficiency is too low.
The transport plane began to descend vertically. Uncle Tai quickly realized that he was being sent into the smoky area.
He looked at the empty cabin, not knowing who to ask, and became increasingly puzzled.
"Why did they have to call me over?"
"Is it because my academic ability has reached the level where I can be equipped with a special plane? That's not right. Although those papers on psionic weapons are all prepared, I haven't dared to publish them, and even if I did, I would only be the third author."
"What's going on?"
A few minutes later, Uncle Tai got the answer to this question.
Wang Zheng had called him over.
Because he was one of the few engineers Wang Zheng could trust, a top 3 expert in the field of psionic weapons, and also a participant in many previous research projects.
Uncle Tai looked at Wang Jixuan's weary face, and a sense of honor surged up.
Then let's do it!
No matter how difficult the subject, no matter how new the field, old Tai here simply has two words:
Must conquer!
Inside the hastily built camp tent, Uncle Tai threw his carry-on travel bag aside and asked earnestly, in a low and serious voice:
"Teacher Wang, what is the subject you want me to participate in this time?"
"It's very simple."
Wang Jixuan pointed to the other direction of the tent:
"A brand new psionic utilization system that uses human souls to control Blade Beast bodies."
"Holy crap… What?"
Uncle Tai was a little dazed, his eyes becoming glazed.
He followed the direction Wang Jixuan pointed, walked to the other end of the camp tent, and lifted the tent's curtain. He could see the two General-level Blade Beasts covered by huge tarpaulins not far ahead.
The bodies of the two General-level Blade Beasts were entwined with a dozen beams of light, and two azure dragon phantoms surrounded them.
These two huge General-level Blade Beasts are both mature bodies with considerable combat power, namely the [Battering Ram] and the [Thorn Flower] types.
The former is a General-level combat force that Blade Beasts evolved to break through human fortresses. They are bulky and huge, and humans don't find them too difficult to deal with. Usually, they blow up their legs first.
The [Thorn Flower]'s shape is slender, a bit like a 'headless human body', and its body structure is completely different from humans.
Compared to other General-level Blade Beasts, the Thorn Flower's body is smaller, its height when standing upright does not exceed twenty meters. It has a strong ability to quickly break through defenses, and usually has a slender tail.
Both General-level Blade Beasts were alive, but seriously injured, and controlled by that strange beam of light.
Uncle Tai didn't know that this was the Binding Dragon Formation created by Taoist Wang, but Uncle Tai could almost be sure that this thing must be related to Teacher Wang.
Just then, Uncle Tai suddenly heard a somewhat familiar shout.
This voice even sounded in his heart!
"Old Tai… I died so miserably… Wuwuwu…"
Uncle Tai's hair stood on end, his face turned pale, his teeth chattering constantly, his neck like a mechanical bearing that had forgotten to be oiled, creaking as he turned around.
He saw the huge crystal core on the table, and the Red Serpent's soul standing with its hands on its hips in the crystal core, its traces revealed by the Manifestation Charm.
"Big sister, don't scare Uncle Tai."
Wang Jixuan frowned and smiled wryly:
"Uncle Tai, there are a few things I need you to do here."
"In order to reduce the risk of exposure, we must seize the time to do some simple experiments first. I have found some souls of recently sacrificed warriors here."
"You will assist me. Later, we will try whether the warriors can enter the crystal cores of ordinary Blade Beasts, and then do crystal core transplant tests."
"All of this has been agreed to by the souls of the warriors."
"Okay!"
Uncle Tai nodded vigorously, quickly entered a working state, took off his coat and threw it aside, carefully pondering the experimental steps.
Inside and outside the tent, things were buzzing with activity.
… …
About half an hour later.
When Fu Jian received the highest-level encrypted letter from Dongfang Zhenghong, he couldn't recover for a few minutes.
This Devil Commander, who had fought Blade Beasts for many years, what hadn't he seen?
He really hadn't seen this kind of thing.
Hearing the news about the Red Serpent, Fu Jian was completely stunned.
After Fu Jian returned from near Fortress 82, he had many associations.
He had thought that Wang Zheng, that kid, would use a storm of psionic weapons and crystal core weapons to project the technology of the Spiritualist civilization to humans, helping humans enter a new era of full-scale counterattack;
He had also thought about how to arrange for Wang Zheng to save his life if his side couldn't protect Wang Zheng under pressure.
For example, let Wang Zheng secretly go to the Spiritual Energy Capital. Fu Jian has many partners there. Although the Naturalist faction is suppressed, their power should not be underestimated. He can also play a trick of hiding in plain sight.
Fu Jian had even thought…
As long as Wang Zheng can continue to be friendly to humans and continue to promote the development of psionic technology, then Fu Jian will leave a place for Wang Zheng in the 'Heir Team'.
But Fu Jian never expected it.
Following psionic weapons and crystal core weapons, Wang Zheng actually took action again, and it was still a somewhat unpopular niche track.
[Feasibility Study on Using Humanoid Mecha Souls to Control Blade Beast Bodies and Create Biological Mechas].
Seeing this thing, Fu Jian's mechanical heart almost skipped a beat.
What does this mean?
Human souls, controlling Blade Beasts?
Fu Jian didn't understand and was greatly shocked!
However, there are still sporadic battles on various fronts, and Fu Jian cannot pay too much attention to this matter.
Fu Jian just replied to Dongfang Zhenghong, asking the latter to allocate all resources to fully cooperate with Wang Zheng, and apply for more resources at any time if they are not enough.
The Seventh Theater where Wang Zheng is located, at the cost of only two severely damaged sub-terror mechas and the deaths of more than seven thousand nine hundred soldiers, solved the Seventh King-level Blade Beast…
No matter how you look at it, this is a great victory.
The exhilarating effect produced by this victory has radiated to all parts of the war zone.
In addition, the neighbors who were originally hesitant whether to truly support the D5 war zone with great efforts, such as the D3 war zone and the D6 war zone, have all actively dispatched more firepower support.
The ruling faction members of the Spiritual Energy Capital, who are secretly watching this war, are naturally greatly disappointed.
The problem Fu Jian is currently thinking about is how to take advantage of this opportunity to kill another King-level Blade Beast. If this can be done, the D5 war zone will usher in the easiest situation in thirty years.
As long as the pressure on the front line is reduced, Fu Jian can free up his hands to specifically clean up the ruling faction of the Spiritual Energy Capital.
Fu Jian's mechanical fingers gently tapped the armrest of the chair.
Because of Wang Zheng's appearance, he is no longer impatient at all.
'If those six stupid old things knew that I could live another ten years, would they go crazy?'
'Hehehe.'
'This time, Wang Zheng was marked too suddenly. I didn't expect that this kind of vertical pupil can not only mark cities and fortresses, but also mark individuals. We must find a way to avoid this kind of thing.'
'The Brain-Eating Worm has been discovered, and the Blade Beasts are starting to get anxious? That's quite interesting.'
The old commander kept thinking, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
In the six battlefields, the Blade Beasts have fully retreated, and the human camp is taking this opportunity to frantically attack, desperately weakening the power of the Blade Beast group.
Now the only hidden worry in the D5 war zone is whether a part of the main Blade Beast group will awaken.
Fu Jian was silent, thinking, and time passed by every minute and every second. He quickly processed the information gathered from various places, arranging pursuits and deployments.
"Commander!"
A guard hurried over and saluted Fu Jian:
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"Encrypted report! From Commander Dongfang!"
"Okay," Fu Jian pinched the button-shaped storage chip, his fingers pressed against it, searching, security checking, extracting information, his body leaning back.
Wang Zheng's actions were very fast.
But the experimental results were not as expected.
They used several methods, such as first inserting the warrior's soul into the Blade Beast's body in advance, killing the Blade Beast's own soul as quickly as possible, trying to let the warrior's soul enter the crystal core, or directly processing the crystal core inside the Blade Beast's body.
They constantly adjusted the variables, but the results were all failures.
Human souls cannot exist in the Blade Beast crystal core, and psionic energy will directly tear apart human souls.
Dongfang Zhenghong wrote in the report:
[Wang Zheng suggested that similar experiments should no longer be carried out. The heroic souls of the fallen warriors should be at peace, and our experiments are essentially somewhat inhumane.
In addition, Wang Zheng raised a suspicion that the souls of psionicists might be able to conduct similar experiments. The souls of psionicists have already undergone psionic baptism during the infusion ceremony, and may be able to directly enter the Blade Beast crystal core.
Here, the real experiment has already begun with intense preparations. Please approve it."
Fu Jian approved it without hesitation.
Red Snake's soul is trapped within the crystal core of a King-level Blade Beast. If this crystal core can be successfully transplanted into the body of a General-level Blade Beast, truly controlling a General-level Blade Beast…
The political value behind it is immeasurable!
Fu Jian examined the D5 battlefield from all angles for a few minutes and, finding that there was no possibility of a large-scale war breaking out for the time being, he delegated full command authority to the front-line headquarters.
By the way, he sent a text communication invitation to Dongfang Zhenghong, and the two of them created a private channel.
Dongfang Zhenghong began to describe the progress of the experiment over there in a text broadcast format.
…
"Wang Zheng has asked everyone to step back, and I'm allowed to stay here. He's starting to move."
"He's manipulating the King-level crystal core to modify Target Number One (Battering Ram)."
"He directly cut open the back of its neck with a greatsword. He seems to be hesitating."
"He's doing it! He's directly cutting open the exoskeleton of the General-level Blade Beast with a crystal core weapon. It's not deep enough. That Blade Beast is starting to struggle, but a strange beam of light is binding it. Wang Zheng calls this light an array of the Spirit Cultivation civilization."
"Black smoke is appearing on Wang Zheng's hands. A lot of black smoke is gathering."
"The soul of the General-level Blade Beast has been smoked out by the black smoke! There's lightning, lightning is striking, and the soul is being dealt with!"
"The crystal core has been inserted! I can vaguely see the shadow of Red Snake. She's being dragged out of the crystal core by Wang Zheng, and she's starting to fuse with the body of this General-level Blade Beast? I don't quite understand."
A full few minutes passed.
"General-level Blade Beast Number One exploded!"
"The body of the General-level Blade Beast suddenly exploded, and Wang Zheng was injured… not seriously."
"Wang Zheng protected Red Snake's soul and put her soul back into the King-level crystal core."
"Fortunately, he had the X-Armor, and Wang Zheng was only blown away by the explosion."
"Wang Zheng says he already knows what's going on. I'll try my best to convey it to you, but I don't understand many of the technical terms."
"Red Snake's self-destruction is equivalent to completing the preparatory steps for the spiritual energy infusion ceremony. She exploded the flesh and blood inside the King-level Blade Beast, and she herself was nourished by the Blade Beast's power, which is accepting the spiritual energy baptism. At this time, Red Snake is already equivalent to being transformed into a powerful psychic esper, but only the soul. Her soul would have been directly devoured by the Blade Beast's soul, but Wang Zheng intervened in time to destroy the King-level Blade Beast's soul, and the crystal core automatically identified Red Snake's soul as the Blade Beast's soul."
"That's about it.
I've done a simple extraction:
① The soul of a spiritual energy user is almost equivalent to a Blade Beast.
② The crystal core of the Blade Beast has been specially set up. Wang Zheng suspects that it is related to the Spirit Cultivator civilization, and the Spirit Cultivator civilization should be related to the City of Spiritual Energy.
③ It is now possible to continue the operation, and there is a 60% chance of allowing Red Snake, the King-level crystal core whose power was weakened by the explosion just now, and the Thorn Flower General-level Blade Beast to complete the fusion.
④ Wang Zheng said that he suffered a great loss, and a King-level crystal core is gone just like that. He wants a few General-level crystal cores as compensation."
…
Fu Jian rubbed his temples with his large hand.
At such an important moment!
Wang Zheng is bargaining with him!
"Agree to all his conditions, but give me installment payments!"
"Yes."
After that, Fu Jian began to wait with some anxiety.
Battle reports from various places were successively sent in. According to a rough estimate, more than 400,000 Blade Beasts were killed in this great battle. In the D5 war zone, twelve local positions were broken through. 19,000 soldiers died, and the deaths of civilians were mainly due to the casualties after the No. 82 Fortress was breached. Ammunition reserves suffered huge losses.
One King-level Blade Beast was annihilated;
One Sub-King-level Winged Dragon;
One ordinary Sub-King-level Blade Beast;
Thirty-two General-level Blade Beasts were annihilated, and two were captured.
Four hundred and twenty-six Sub-General-level Blade Beasts were annihilated.
It was indeed a great victory, a great victory initiated by the Blade Beasts, defended by humans, with the Blade Beasts attacking at all costs, but the Blade Beasts' attack plan was declared a failure.
The question now is…
'How to protect Wang Zheng? To prevent him from being targeted again?'
Ding ding!
The communicator vibrated gently, and Dongfang Zhenghong sent a clear photo.
Under the cover of a blue tarpaulin, that 'headless' giant with a long tail is now slowly kneeling up. Wang Ji Xuan, wearing X-Armor, is suspended above the giant's head, and his raised left hand slowly points forward. The terrifying mouthparts on the 'headless' giant's neck are constantly shrinking and closing, and a white membrane appears on them. Outside the membrane, black light spots emerge to form a vague face.
It's fused!
It's really fused!
The second and third photos popped up at the same time.
The 'headless' giant stood up, supporting the tarpaulin, and the exoskeleton of its body faintly revealed a seven-colored light.
The 'headless' giant was wrapped in seven-colored light, and under the urging of the King-level crystal core, it actually began to pupate and evolve, and there was hope of being promoted to the Sub-King level.
"Actually…"
Fu Jian raised his hand and held the armor on his mouth, to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
This little guy Wang Zheng really knows how to give him surprises. He really made it, a half-human mecha, fusing the body of a General-level Blade Beast and the crystal core of a King-level Blade Beast… It's a pity that this kind of thing cannot be replicated.
It's not that it can't be replicated. Spiritual energy users can be used as materials.
A cold light flashed in Fu Jian's eyes.
"Commander-in-Chief, it's a success! However, Wang Zheng asked me a question, and I don't know how to answer it."
"What question?"
"How are we going to explain to the Deep Sea that his beloved wife is now an eighteen-meter-tall quasi-Sub-King-level Blade Beast?"
