Chapter 1131: Chapter 30: Giant Beast (10)

"Lead the way."

Li Ang nodded calmly, following the other person into the particularly spacious elevator.

As an important part of the Pacific Rim Defense Work, the "Broken Dome" fortress was designed with the goal of "being able to withstand a full-scale attack from deep-sea giant beasts." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The ground section has over forty floors,

with an internal hangar on the first floor and an extended underground space,

not only able to accommodate 70-80 meter-level heavy mechas, providing living and working space for 50,000 PPDC personnel, but also able to house millions of Port City citizens during emergency evacuations.

These elevator shafts embedded deeply in reinforced concrete are each the size of a shipping container,

capable of transporting goods, personnel, vehicles, and even helicopters during peacetime,

making the elevators seem uncrowded even with a group of people inside.

The floor numbers on the elevator’s LCD screen steadily increased,

Li Ang closed his eyes in contemplation, holding a deep-sea creature’s brain organ which continuously shrank until it was the size of a walnut.

This organ, similar to a pineal body, is quite... magical,

Its overall structure resembles the brain of advanced mammals, with a surface full of grooves, a gray matter cortex, and a medullary layer housing nerve fibers and nucleus clusters.

However, its specific structure is more complex, with regions in the brain containing neural structures that Li Ang had never seen before.

The critical point lies in the fact that the cells forming this organ’s basic organic compounds are not conventional proteins made from polypeptide chains formed by amino acids through "dehydration condensation."

Instead, amide molecules replace the amino acids, forming polypeptides.

"Amino life?"

Li Ang blinked, speaking in a calm tone.

The Japanese woman named Mori Masako gave Li Ang a peculiar look, flipping her hair and carefully concealing the faintly glowing golden light on her body,

nodded cautiously, "Are you referring to the deep-sea giant beasts?

According to our Monster Science Department’s dissection results, their brains indeed have the characteristics of amino lifeforms from science fiction and scientists’ imaginations,

but their bodies are entirely carbon-based, like Earth’s lifeforms."

"I see." freёwebnovel.com

Li Ang nodded and said nothing more, casually storing the pineal organ in his virtual backpack.

Out of cautious self-protection, the PPDC has sent middle and high-level personnel to greet Li Ang, all equipped with pineal organs in their tactical suits to release an A.T. Force Field, preventing Li Ang from potentially using psychic control abilities.

From Li Ang’s position,

he could clearly sense the varying degrees of psychic abilities from these individuals, as well as their mixed emotions of reverence and fear.

Among them, the Japanese woman named Mori Masako had the highest psychic level,

and in terms of energy response, she almost reached the level of a second-level psychic but had no psychic skills and an unstable psychic foundation.

From the information collected earlier, Mori Masako hails from the Kyoto region of Japan Islands. She experienced a deep-sea giant beast attack in Tokyo with her parents when she was a child,

losing her parents in the process, and at the critical moment when she was only nine years old,

she was rescued from the giant beast’s claws by the then Tango Wolf Mech (originally from Tokyo, Japan Islands) pilot, the future General Stake.

Subsequently, Mori Masako joined the Hunter Academy to study mechanical engineering and later became one of the PPDC Mech Technology Department supervisors and a reserve mecha pilot.

This story is not a secret within the PPDC, and Mori Masako’s age makes her seem a bit young for the role of the Mech Technology Department supervisor,

and her private relationship with Stake has been subject to gossip behind the scenes by some curious individuals.

However, General Stake is personally upright and has no bad habits, and Mori Masako has indeed achieved outstanding results in mecha design, construction, and maintenance, so in recent years no one has questioned it.

Li Ang casually browsed through the life details of some people inside the elevator in his mind,

finding that the ordinary people in this scripted world do not possess particularly distinguished psychic talents,

yet those obviously psychic organs known as pineal bodies could embody psychic power.

Li Ang frowned in thought, ’An alien civilization capable of mass-producing psychic organs...’

Ding.

The elevator reached the command hall located on the fortieth floor, and the two heavy blast doors slid open to each side. Li Ang saw the tense expressions on the PPDC senior staff inside the command hall, along with two familiar faces.

"It’s you two."

Li Ang looked at Black Trojan and Dawn with a smile. Black Trojan was an old acquaintance, and he had met Dawn twice after the Door Battle, so they were not strangers. "Just you two? Anyone else here?"

"It should just be the two of us."

Black Trojan replied with an awkward smile, concisely stating, "Our initial location was near the ’Broken Dome’ fortress,

and due to the long-standing monster wars, Port City is basically covered with facial recognition system surveillance cameras,

I just checked and didn’t find any familiar faces besides us—"

"Mm."

Li Ang nodded indifferently, turning to the solemn-looking General Stake, "Hello, it’s finally a pleasure to meet you, General."

"Hello, Mr. Li."

General Stake pondered his words for a moment, intending to ask his visitor’s purpose in a friendly manner,

but Li Ang waved his hand and said, "Let’s cut to the chase.

General Stake, everyone in this command hall, and all Pacific Rim representatives listening through communication devices,

you only need to remember one thing—

We are here to help eliminate the deep-sea giant beasts.

I need PPDC to provide all the deep-sea giant beast samples and data collected over the years.

I require these to develop corresponding biological weapons to adapt to the deep-sea giant beasts’ evolution.

Furthermore, PPDC will need to supply me with the blueprint for heavy mecha construction,

the metallurgical data for materials used in mechas,

and the engineering diagrams for the mecha production line.

To show sincerity,

I will temporarily halt the expansion of the ’Pale World’ on land."

He casually clapped his hands,

and the surveillance images on the command hall screens, of the endless white lichens covering most of Port City’s surface,

suddenly stopped their almost uncontrolled expansion,

only a few lichen conglomerates that had reached the third stage, resembling original plankton, continued to emit spores towards the sky and sea.

"Once we kill the deep-sea giant beasts, we will leave this place.

All the ’Pale World’ lichens will self-destruct without causing any harm to the planet’s ecological environment."

Li Ang looked calmly at the war clock on the command hall wall, recording the time since the last deep-sea giant beast attack, and said, "I believe this is a very fair trade.

If you don’t mind, let us begin preparations now.

They are already here."
