A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 359 - 279 Directed Radiation_1
Chapter 359 -279 Directed Radiation_1
With the death of the queen, the entire Beast Race army had collapsed. A vast number of them had been ruthlessly slaughtered by the Tribunal, whether they begged for mercy or chose to resist. In the face of the Star Realm Army, there was only one outcome — death and destruction.
Then, Duanmu Huai planted another Earth Core Bomb underground, obliterating the entire beast race’s nest. The spreading magma flooded all the surrounding caves, turning these burrows into scorching, hell-like environments.
The majority of the beast race’s forces were utterly demolished, but Duanmu Huai’s concern wasn’t focused on this. Compared to the beast race, he was more concerned about the plague and parasitic lifeforms.
Fortunately, through the information uploaded by Mia, Rebecca and Sherry had finally figured out the evolutionary law of these parasites, and understood why they had appeared in the form of a plague!
At the very beginning, these parasites indeed showed no reaction. However, according to the conclusion drawn by Rebecca and Sherry from the data, these parasites possessed a unique characteristic. The higher the level of infection and the larger the numbers, the more active they become. This was the reason why these parasitic lifeforms spread in the form of a plague. It wasn’t because of genetic mutations or modifications, but because of—- a massive infection of the beast race deep underground.
That’s right. According to the data, the beast race had been suffering from Luminescent infection all the while they lived underground. Many of the beast race had been infected and transformed into the Luminescent Tribe. Coupled with the fact that the beast race wasn’t a mechanized civilization like humans, but a biological civilization that manipulated underground life, it led to their soldiers and even the underground creatures they controlled further enhancing the spread of the Luminescent infection, subsequently becoming members of the Luminescent Tribe. As the number of these infected Luminescent creatures increased, the Yimu Parasitic Lifeform began to become more active, progressively transforming into a form more suitable for spreading infection.
...
The mysterious plague originated from this.
Furthermore, because of the high adaptability of these parasitic lifeforms, it meant that any biological products similar to vaccines could not function effectively against them. They could rapidly change and adapt to any biological agent developed against them, thus generating immunity.
However, luckily, not everything was hopeless…
“Directed radiation?”
Duanmu Huai squinted, looking at the report in front of him. Rebecca nodded her head.
“Yes, it’s a plan proposed by Dr. Adam. He had locked onto the core of the Yimu Parasitic Lifeform and is trying to create a radiation emitter that only targets this material. With this system, a specific radiation wave can cover the entire planet, destroying the core cells of Yimu, causing it to self-decompose.”
“Hmm…this thing is interesting…”
Duanmu Huai stroked his chin, staring at the report in front of him. Honestly, he was very interested in this directional radiation system.
The reason was simple–it could potentially be useful against the God of Plague!
Amongst the Chaos Evil Gods, the God of Plague’s methods were the most disgusting. No matter where these filthy Plague Apostles went, they were always spreading contagious diseases. Often, the entire planet would be infected and then purified by the Tribunal using Whirlwind Torpedos.
However, if they had this directed radiation device, it might be used against these diseases?
Although it was designed for the Yimu Parasitic Lifeform, having achieved it once, it could be done the second time. Perhaps, after arriving on other infected planets, they could radiate specialized radiation shockwaves to destroy those bacteria-viruses by adjusting data and frequency ranges?
Hmm… this feasibility report had to be archived. It might come in handy in the future.
Due to this report, he might consider leaving the old man’s body intact.
“So, leave the rest to you all and complete it as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
After ending the communication, Duanmu Huai let out a sigh, then turned his gaze to the azure sky from the window. However, as he was contemplating what to do next, a sudden commotion came from outside.
“Let go of me! Let me in! You damn bastards!!”
Hearing the ruckus outside, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brow. He then exited the room and headed into the courtyard, where he saw several fully armed COG soldiers being encircled by the Star Realm Army. Nevertheless, the man leading them, adorning a headscarf, was still angrily yelling at the Star Realm Army.
“What happened?”
Duanmu Huai walked over and asked. Upon hearing his question, the Night Guard leading the team saluted promptly.
“Your Honor, the Judge, these people broke into the camp and asked us to release a prisoner…”
“A prisoner?”
“Yes, Adam Felix!!”
Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, the man with the headscarf burst out yelling.
“That’s my father! Why did you arrest him!!”
The one currently making a ruckus here wasn’t just anyone, it was Marcus Felix, the captain of the elite team of COG. After the end of the Beast Race War, an anxious Marcus tried to contact his father, only to be informed by the Wei’an Government Alliance that his father’s research facility had been raided by the Star Realm Army of the Tribunal. Not only had they seized all instrument data, but they had directly apprehended Marcus’s father!
They only left a notice for the Wei’an Government Alliance afterwards, stating that Adam Felix was suspected of betraying humanity and colluding with the enemy, and would be executed as a heretic.
After learning this news, Marcus couldn’t restrain himself, so he and his team members stormed the Tribunal’s camp, trying to find his father.
“Why?”
Upon hearing Marcus’s question, Duanmu Huai stared at him, his eyes icy.
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
“Because he is an enemy of humanity!”
“You… you’re spouting nonsense, how could my dad be an enemy of humanity!”
“We have enough evidence to prove that your father had been in contact with the Beast Race Queen long before now. Not only did he know about the Luminescent Tribe, but he also learned from the Beast Race Queen about their impending invasion of the earth’s surface. However, he never told anyone about any of this! This ultimately led to the outbreak on the day of the incident, and the ensuing Beast Race War that lasted for more than a decade. ”
Saying this, Duanmu Huai stared at Marcus, giving a cold snort.
“It can be said that all the people who died in the Beast Race War over the past fifteen years are your father’s responsibility!”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, not only was Marcus dumbfounded, even his teammates were staring wide-eyed.
“Wait, you mean to say that his father had long known about the threat of the Beast Race but didn’t tell anyone?”
“Exactly, I can’t understand his thinking either, but it doesn’t matter now. He betrayed humans, conspired with aliens, his sins are unforgivable, he must be executed.”
To be honest, Duanmu Huai also thought that the old man was simply a fool, who knew that the Beast Race was breeding and growing under the earth’s surface, but he chose to remain silent. If he had chosen to inform the Wei’an Government Alliance and they chose to cover up their dark history, then all the blame could be shifted onto COG.
However… the reality is, COG only thought those alien creatures who had mutated in past human experiments had long died somewhere in the earth’s core, so they didn’t pay any attention. The only person who knew about the Beast Race’s breeding and growth under the earth’s surface didn’t say anything, which ultimately led to humans being completely caught off guard when the Beast Race attacked. Even the Wei’an Government Alliance had no idea where these beasts came from.
Given these circumstances, the only person who can bear this responsibility is Adam Felix.
“We have years of communication records and intelligence exchanges between him and the Queen. Evidence shows that not only did Adam Felix know about the Beast Race’s growth and development under the earth, but he also frequently maintained contact with the Beast Race Queen. Even after the Day of the Incident, he did not stop…”
As he reached this point, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. According to the old man himself, he still held hope that he could persuade the Beast Race Queen to stop the invasion of humans and continue living underground. He assured her that he could find a solution to the Beast Race infection problem -— it was laughable. Did he think he was the savior? Whatever he says goes? Humanity was steadily retreating in the face of the Beast Race, was it possible now for the Beast Race to back down?
Both sides had been in bloody conflict for more than a decade, with casualties amounting to billions. This was a race war, it would not cease unless one side was completely annihilated!
Foolish, naive, weak idiot.
This was Duanmu Huai’s only evaluation of Adam Felix. He actually believed that with his solitary word, he could persuade the Beast Race not to wage external wars? Did he think his face was so big, it demanded everyone’s respect?
“At present, the Tribunal is manufacturing a device for the purification of the Plague and Yimu material. After solving this nuisance, we will immediately execute him.”
Saying this, Duanmu Huai glanced at Marcus.
“Take him to see the prisoner and allow a meeting. This is the final decision.”
After saying these words, Duanmu Huai turned and left, leaving Marcus behind with his head drooping, silent. Even the others, at this moment, had complicated expressions on their faces. After all, if what Duanmu Huai said was true, then Marcus’s father was indeed a true traitor to the people.
Recalling how Marcus had been looking for his father before, this news was… too hard for him to bear.
With the Tribunal’s technology, constructing a directional radiation device was not a big issue. In this period, Duanmu Huai was not idle, he initiated a full broadcast, announcing two items of news to all humans on this planet.
The first item was the origin of the Beast Race War, the background of the Beast Race, and Adam Felix’s heretical and treasonous behaviors.
Of course this aroused the indignation of many people, COG was also heavily criticised, as was Adam Felix. These two were presumably the main culprits. One created the Beast Race, the other knew the truth but withheld it. The latter’s crime was, of course, much bigger.
In response, the Tribunal naturally announced that they would execute him, appeasing the public’s anger.
The second item of news was about the radiation device that the Tribunal is currently building to purify the Yimu substance. They required all humans infected with the plague to travel to the Tribunal for treatment and aid within one month. Otherwise, when the directional radiation device is activated, all living creatures with the Yimu substance in their bodies will be completely killed!
Among them… naturally included humans too!
