Chapter 915 The dismantled time machine
Another war with monsters is over. The continuous ruins cast long shadows under the setting sun, desolate and lonely, and gunpowder smoke wanders over the city like a ghost. Reluctant to dissipate; the flames burned in the ruins, beating through the gaps like will-o'-the-wisps.
Tents were set up one after another, and TPC staff members were busy walking or running. Various vehicles were shuttled back and forth, the majority of which were engineering vehicles, used for excavating masonry and transporting rubble. It’s both rescue and cleanup.
Dagu stood outside the tent of the temporary headquarters, looking at the continuous pile of ruins not far away. There were many people and cars busy there, and many people were buried. He couldn't help but sigh. He whispered, "I don't know when this will end."
I was speaking from my heart, but I didn't expect that Lina's voice came from next to me: "Yes, without the monster, this The world would be a lot better.”
Dagu turned his head and saw Lina walking over and standing beside him, looking at the shadowy ruins in the distance. Three hours ago, there were still rows of tall buildings and clean roads carrying countless people. Human life and work.
"A world without monsters and a universe without invaders is really very desirable." Dagu looked at Lina's profile and said, but what he thought in his heart was: 'If there are no monsters, They are no longer a winning team, so they don't have these concerns to hold them back. '
Lina felt Dagu's gaze, turned around, and looked at Dagu, causing Dagu to turn back hurriedly, her eyes wandering around the horizon, looking at the sunset, and her peripheral vision. Seeing Lina still staring at him, he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the tent door a few steps behind him was opened, and then Horii poked his head out and shouted: "Hurry up." Come here quickly, it’s time to have a meeting.”
“Let’s go,” Dagu quickly replied. Lina also looked away and turned towards the tent. Dagu followed her and walked in. Zong Fangzheng. Sitting in front of a computer with a serious look on his face, the screen showed Hui Jian who had returned to the command room. The two were talking about the equipment losses of the victory team this time, so as to form a report and submit it as soon as possible.
A few seconds after Dagu and Lina came in, Xincheng also hurried in with bandages on his hands and a band-aid on his face. The victory team gathered, and the captain and vice-captain also reached a preliminary agreement, and then Jian Hui signaled Ye Rui that it was time to start.
Ye Rui, who was sitting in front of the central computer again, nodded, quickly tapped the keyboard a few times, and transmitted two images to the large screen and the screen of the temporary headquarters. One was the attack on the South American branch seven months ago. incident, and the other is a video of what happened in Area D a few hours ago.
Different times, different places, different monsters, but the same plot: a monster is destroying, suddenly a monster comes and beats it, and then the two monsters start fighting each other, and then the The monster was defeated, but what exploded was not flesh and blood, but earth and stone.
“It’s the same.” Horii opened his mouth in surprise. He still had a clear memory of the monster that appeared many times. It not only involved the mysterious and unscientific Andean ground paintings and Nazca Lines, the giant bird turned into earth and stone after death.
Tests and tests revealed that they were very ordinary earth and rocks, so ordinary that people immediately thought of fragments of giant stone statues that also did not have any extraterrestrial elements.
But the fragments of the giant stone statue have now found a way to activate the glow. The scientific research department is stepping up research to make the stone move. However, there have been no new discoveries about the fragments of the giant bird, but unexpectedly, Just when everyone was about to forget about him, a new 'earth and stone' monster appeared.
Zongfang frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "Then it is conceivable that someone has obtained the power of a monster."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked! My first reaction was that it was incredible, but then I thought about it and it made sense.
Since someone can gain the power of Ultraman, why can’t someone gain the power of a monster?
This is Hongguoguo’s discrimination. People who love monsters will criticize her and kill her online.
The more people think about Munakata's idea, the more likely it becomes. Otherwise, why would these two 'earth and stone monsters' coincidentally appear when the city was destroyed, and instead of destroying the city, they would fight against the evil forces that destroyed the city? struggle.
"But that strange bird attacked us and Diga." Dagu raised a new question. If the 'earth and stone monsters' were friendly forces and controlled by intelligent humans, how could they defeat the winning team and Diga? What are you doing?
"This is what I can't figure out. The behavior of this kind of monster is very contradictory, so we need to find out as soon as possible whether it is real. After all, it is a monster." Hui Jian said worriedly , if someone really gained the power to control monsters, then this person would be too dangerous, especially if he behaves quite unfriendly.
Think about it, what if such a person really exists, what if one day he gets mad and releases a monster in a busy area, such as a crowded station, commercial street, etc., what will happen? The losses and casualties were absolutely extremely heavy, much more than in the relatively less prosperous D area.
“Yes.”
Hui Jian hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Daku, Lina, you go find Chiba tomorrow, tell him that the time machine is going to be dismantled, and ask him if he wants to take a look."
"Time Machine? That ultra-ancient prophecy machine?" Zongfang was quite surprised when he heard the news and hurriedly Asked: "Why should it be dismantled?"
Before waiting for Megumi's answer, Horii, who has always had a close relationship with the Ministry of Science, said: "Because the analysis of this holographic projection device has long been stalled. It took a lot of energy and a lot of time, but the last important part of that image If I want information, I have only analyzed words like light and bright in the past few months, but there has been no progress since then."
Oko turned to look at Horii and asked, "That's why it needs to be dismantled. Drop it?"
This time it was Hui Jian who answered, nodded and said: "The Ministry of Science agrees. Because the value of the time machine is not only the image and other information stored in it, but also the advanced technology contained in it, which can only be seen and analyzed by opening the shell. Therefore, at the high-level meeting, the Ministry of Science Approval was obtained to dismantle the time machine.”
Zongfang nodded clearly and said to the team members: "Putting it there is just a holographic projection device with incomplete information. If you open it, you may be able to obtain advanced technology. This is why the Science Department dismantled it. "
"But... maybe." Dagu subconsciously wanted to stop it, but he couldn't give any reason, and he was stuck there.
