Chapter 322 The Explosion Caused
Xiao Fei, the culprit of the explosion, also came to the Pacific Rim Universe.
This was beyond Fu Qinghai's expectations.
No, it wasn't just unexpected... it was a great surprise!
Because Fu Qinghai remembered that Xiao Fei said that he was studying Titan manufacturing technology on Mars and with the Mechanicus.
"You... you're also in Pacific Rim, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Fu Qinghai said happily, but after he was happy, he realized what was going on - how did Xiao Fei appear in the Forgotten Cemetery?
So Fu Qinghai asked cautiously:
"By the way, what is your camp?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qinghai received a prompt:
[Human camp reincarnation]
[This reincarnation used the flip hand]
Xiao Fei was very decisive and directly threw out a reincarnation prop.
Fu Qinghai was finally relieved:
"Very good, I am also in the human camp."
Xiao Fei smiled and said:
"I believe you, Khan. You look so aggressive, and it's obvious that you are here to cause trouble for the monster believers."
"Well, what do you mean?"
"My portable auspicious instrument captured the peak of the energy signal - a small plasma aircraft. The plasma engines of the PPDC are all large engines like those in the core of the mecha hunter. There are no miniaturized ones. I guessed that it must be a reincarnation. When I came over to take a look, it was indeed you."
The two chatted as they walked out of the ruins.
…
Through this conversation, Fu Qinghai learned:
After Xiao Fei arrived in the Pacific Rim Universe, he had been hiding his identity. Fu Qinghai could understand that, because his image... how to put it, was not very accepted in many reincarnation worlds.
The Space Marines at least look like humans, except that they are a bit larger. Only when you cut open their bodies can you see the main differences. As for the Tech-Priests, if you lift up their red robes, you can see what's inside...
Xiao Fei usually does not stay in San Francisco. He stays in Alaska for a long time. As mentioned earlier, PPDC's Broken Dome Base in Anchorage, Alaska was bought by a private buyer - that "private buyer" is Xiao Fei.
"I used hacking techniques to break into the databases of Citibank and American Express Bank, generated a large amount of funds out of thin air in one of my virtual accounts, and then laundered the funds by transferring them several times in the securities and futures markets..."
Xiao Fei briefly introduced his methods.
"In short, as long as the scale of funds does not exceed a certain level and attracts the attention of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, it is not too difficult for a technical priest to make some money."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
Indeed, in the Warhammer 40K universe, the targets of the electronic information warfare between the Human Empire and the Mechanicus are all "electronic demons" and "chaos garbage codes", which are weird things with some metaphysical and magical attributes. The level of electronic information technology in the Pacific Rim universe - except for synaesthesia and Pons bridge devices, there is really nothing worth mentioning.
The Broken Dome Base in Anchorage, Alaska is a place that provides take-off and landing facilities for Mech Hunters. Because it is close to the sea and is always facing the threat of monsters, the land price is very low. In addition, PPDC is eager to dispose of non-performing assets to recover funds, so the selling price to the outside world is not particularly expensive.
"So why did you come to San Francisco?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Because of the Forgotten Cemetery."
Xiao Fei said:
"Because the anti-monster wall plan requires all coastal cities to move 500 kilometers inland, the coastal areas of many countries have become uninhabited areas, but the real estate of the rich cannot be moved with them. As a result, the beach villas and urban infrastructure in this area have become the best places for vagrants, monster believers and homeless people to gather."
"Including the reincarnations."
Xiao Fei continued:
"In the words of the game, the Forgotten Cemetery is a landmark building, just like the Daily Bugle, Stark Building and Fisk Building in the main Marvel Universe. Players who have no idea how to get involved in the plot will come here to try their luck."
At the beginning, Xiao Fei was hiding in an abandoned seaside mansion. He was not willing to show his image to others, so he sent several robot servants that he had assimilated with him to go out to gather information and handle affairs. There seemed to be some inexplicable gathering effect among the reincarnations. In the process of the robot servants disguising themselves to gather information, Xiao Fei gradually merged with the human camp players in the Bay Area.
"In other words, the reincarnations in the human camp have now gathered together?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"That's right." Xiao Fei nodded and said, "They are generally not very strong, but I, a motor oil guy, became the strongest one, so they nominated me to be the leader. Oh, it's so annoying. I don't want to be a crappy leader. I just want to do research quietly. As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot... Oh, I'm not talking about you, Khan."
As Xiao Fei was talking, he suddenly realized that Fu Qinghai was also a gang leader and the head of an Astartes chapter.
Fu Qinghai didn't mind. Everyone has their own personality. Some people are good at socializing and like to stand in front of the stage, while some people are afraid of socializing and like to hide behind the scenes. People with personalities like Xiao Fei may be more popular in terms of the audience of online literature.
"What did you assimilate?"
Fu Qinghai changed the subject and asked.
"My cybernetic body, a gear-powered axe, and five servitors, gone."
Xiao Fei answered honestly.
"What are you going to do about the big plot events? Just stay here until the end of the reincarnation world?"
Fu Qinghai asked again.
"How is that possible?" Xiao Fei replied, "If I just wanted to survive until the end, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to make money and launder money, and I wouldn't have found an agent to buy the Anchorage Shattered Dome Base."
"Anchorage Shattered Dome Base..."
Fu Qinghai pondered for a while:
"I've been to the mecha equipment area there, and there are only some parts and accessories left, no mecha hunters."
"That's right."
Xiao Fei said:
"I took away all the scrapped mecha hunters."
"You made a Titan?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Too few materials, too poor processing conditions, it's useless for me to build a Titan, a small Titan can't beat a monster, so I plan to build a seismic cannon and a volcanic cannon. Alas, I have everything I want in the Forge World, but in the Shattered Dome, I'm just like a green-skinned technician boy, I have to dig out things from the scraps to make guns and cannons, it's really pathetic."
Xiao Fei complained as he spoke.
Fu Qinghai understood:
"So, you want to use the volcanic cannons and earthquake cannons on the fixed turrets to kill as many monsters as possible and earn assimilation points. As for the ending of the major events in the plot line, don't worry about it."
"Yes." Xiao Fei admitted.
This is also the choice of most reincarnations.
It is often difficult to achieve the final victory in the major events of the plot line, but it is still possible to achieve victory at a certain stage - killing a few monsters, saving a character in the plot, and pushing the plot towards the ending you expect.
"I'm not satisfied with this, I want to win."
Fu Qinghai said firmly.
You get assimilation points only if you win.
Assimilation points represent everything in the world of reincarnation.
"So what are you going to do, Khan?"
Xiao Fei was not surprised by Fu Qinghai's decision. A person without ambition and desire could not become the commander of a regiment. The technical priest immediately put on an appearance of obeying orders, cooperating with all his strength and following the Khan's lead.
"Volcano cannons and earthquake cannons are Titan weapons. They shouldn't be deployed on fixed turrets, right?"
Fu Qinghai looked at the oil man and said meaningfully.
Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes:
"You want to build a Titan? But a mere Anchorage Shattered Dome can only maintain Titans, not build Titans."
Fu Qinghai smiled mysteriously:
"I have my own way."
After that, he called the two women separately:
"Hello, Zofia, is Marshal Pantecost out of danger? Ask him to come to the Anchorage Shattered Dome Base. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Hey, Jiang Yixia, where is Shao Liwen now? Tell her to come to the Broken Dome Base in Anchorage, Alaska. I have something to discuss with her."
…
In this reincarnation world, the pioneer camp is indeed more likely to achieve final victory than the human camp.
Fu Qinghai came to the conclusion after careful analysis.
The reincarnations in the pioneer camp can kill key plot characters on Earth at will, disrupting the development of the normal plot line, but what about the reincarnations in the human camp? Can they run to the wormhole and kill the pioneers?
They can only take the beating and cannot fight back, which makes them very passive.
After all, players like Fu Qinghai, Jiang Yixia and Zofia who have sneaked into the official plot organization by chance are only a minority, and most people are still on the periphery.
"Have you figured out the damage to the Shattered Dome Base in Xiangjiang?"
Fu Qinghai is talking to Zofia.
"Marshal Pantecost and General Quan were injured, Raleigh Beckett, Mori Mako, and Cai Tiantong were seriously injured, two doctors died, a large number of technicians died, and the loss of pilots and trainees was also great... The key is that the mecha equipment area was severely damaged, and several mecha hunters could not fight normally."
Not many people died under the knife of Black Snake Naden.
Most people died in the chain explosions that followed.
Therefore, the key is not Naden, but...
"Have you checked the explosion site to find out what the explosive is?"
"No chemical residues of explosives were detected in the mecha equipment area. There was no TNT, RDX, or Oktokin, and there was no radiation residue."
It is neither a chemical explosive nor a tactical nuclear bomb.
What on earth is that?
"But, very strangely, remnants of monster blood were detected at the explosion site."
"Monster poison blue? Leaked by the K-Science Department? No, the K-Science Laboratory is far away from the mecha equipment area."
Fu Qinghai blurted out, but quickly rejected this possibility, and then he fell silent.
"So, that's the problem, right, Aoyama?"
Zofia asked on the other end of the phone.
"I think... yes."
Fu Qinghai said slowly.
Fu Qinghai didn't know why the explosion was related to monster blood, but he knew that Hannibal Zhou, the famous black market businessman who controlled the global monster organ and tissue trade, had disappeared long ago.
What is the connection between these?
Monster blood is highly toxic, corrosive and polluting. It evaporates at high temperatures, condenses at low temperatures, and melts in contact with water. It requires special storage conditions. Even the monster blood used in the K-Science Department's research institute is purchased from black market merchants.
No matter what the monster blood does, controlling Hannibal Zhou is equivalent to controlling the reserves of monster blood...
Hannibal Cho was the breakthrough.
Fu Qinghai made this clear.
But now he has no time to investigate.
Qing Ming popped a piece of news into the eyepiece's field of view.
"Hello, dear audience friends, I am your old friend, ZNN special reporter Kelly Keliski. Based on the signals from coastal sonar buoys, we have determined that a new monster has arrived through the wormhole!"
In the picture, the sky is gray and it is raining heavily. The reporter is wearing a black raincoat, holding an umbrella in one hand and a microphone in the other. The rain is dripping down the raincoat in streams.
"I am currently at the coast of Tianjin, China. I can see that it is crowded with people waiting to be evacuated. We can't see the monster for the time being. It is said that it is destroying the anti-monster wall in Bohai Bay. According to relevant sources, it is a level 3 monster, codenamed 'Ghost Car'..."
"Look who's here, the 'Eureka Raider'! It survived the Shatterdome explosion not long ago? Thank God, we still have these Mech Hunters..."
