Chapter 64 ·LV-426
Planet No. 426 is the starting point of all stories. If "Prometheus", which will be released many years later and is called a prequel but is actually a sequel, is really regarded as a prequel story, then there will be a possibility that there is a human civilization hidden on this planet. The first ultra-intelligent synthetic human in . and the prototype alien created by it.
Well, indeed. Because in the setting of Prometheus. There is an alien race called the ‘Engineers’. By using a substance called 'black water', one's own DNA is broken down and then reconstructed. Thus created human beings on earth. During an alien exploration in 21XX, Black Water was discovered by the expedition team and put into a human body by the synthetic man David. The second decomposition and reconstruction of DNA created a primitive alien life.
It was the prototype of the alien, born by contaminating the genes of human embryos. Looks like a tentacle monster. After that, this tentacle monster went through many iterations, parasitizing and invading 'engineers' who were frozen and awakened from ancient times, as well as many ordinary humans who were deceived by the prototype synthetics, and may even have fused with the prototype. Synthetic David obtained ancient technology from under the Temple of the Engineer. Eventually, the alien became the alien.
The stage where the synthetic David created the alien may be Planet 426. And this planet is also the home planet of 'Engineer'. In the sequel to Prometheus. In "Alien: Covenant". David finally boarded the ship named Covenant with the finalized Facehugger and left this remote and desolate planet. However, that is obviously not the end. After that, there may be a follow-up.
Jiang Yu didn't see the follow-up - he only saw the contract. Then I don’t know if it is a eunuch or not open later. After all, theoretically speaking, the power of the Lord God can ignore all era gaps and find all works that exist in the past or future. But in fact, whether this is really the case depends on whether the captain has the authority to do so. Because he had tried secretly, and also asked the Lord God to provide the complete set of Resident Evil movies. He can get a copy of the final chapter, while Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and others can only exchange it for the third volume.
Some kind of limitation, but not inexplicable.
Assuming that there is no follow-up to "Alien: Covenant", the most likely possibility is that the Covenant crashed and crashed. David and the Facehugger disappeared into the vast universe together. On this basis, the aliens on Planet 426 are indeed the only aliens left in the universe. So, everyone's guess may be partially correct.
Chu Xuan guessed part of it right, the Lord God needed the reincarnation to get everything back on track. Therefore, annihilating all the aliens, even if it is not the main plot, is also a very important side plot in the follow-up.
Zhan Lan guessed partly right. All the aliens in the universe are really only on the ship Nosmo and the undeveloped colonial star No. 426.
Jiang Yu guessed part of it right. The Lord God would not let reincarnators do things they couldn't do. Of course, this is actually a copied answer. But in other words, it is something that reincarnators cannot currently do, but can theoretically do. The main god will provide an optional boost, or advantage.
Because the alien is the creation of the synthetic man David, and the laboratory's research products are destined to have few backups. The alien eggs hidden in the engineer mothership on Planet 426 may be all of this creation. And that planet is desolate and abandoned. The aliens can't find a parasitic target, so naturally there will be no formed individuals.
Jiang Yu understands this very well, so he is not actually angry with Zhang Jie.
However, there were still doubts in his heart.
First, Zhang Jie...do you know the plot of the 'prequel' to Prometheus, which was only released in 2012? When he asked the newcomers to obtain information about the side plot, did he only hold the emotion of "at most, they can only visit Planet 426"?
And secondly, the so-called alien eggs and facehuggers...are they considered aliens?
……………………
"The automatic navigation system has been deployed and the path has been set. We will arrive at Planet 426 in about half an hour."
In the main control room, Chu Xuan completed the operation of the Nosmo with Xia's assistance - the difficulty was not as great as expected, because the Nosmo was originally a cargo barge with only seven passengers. Although the two of them started to bump into each other, they had the authority of Wieland Company and the path chip of the synthetic human. So in the end, the goal was successfully achieved.
The middle-aged man with the briefcase was still unconscious and had lost too much blood. Even with treatment and hemostatic spray, he would not be able to wake up quickly. The reincarnators do have emergency blood replenishment methods in their hands, but considering what he has done, it doesn't make much sense to use them on him.
He was already half dead.
The white-collar man was so panicked before he was smashed to death by the cabinet. It was most likely that he heard the score announcement from the Lord God when he accidentally killed his companion. Because the Lord God is a place where one's actions do not matter his heart, and a middle-aged man has the lives of two companions in his hands. Even if he managed to survive until the end of the mission, he would still have to deduct two thousand from his body. And considering that he put newcomers into danger without permission, the seniors are unlikely to show mercy to him.
If you don't die this time, it will be difficult to survive.
Moreover, what would happen even if he was revived? Ask him to tell how he obtained the branch information? So that this already delicate atmosphere can become more awkward?
Zheng Zha didn't want to do that, and neither did Zhan Lan. Mou Gang is even more of a mess in decision-making. And Jiang Yu's mind was also very clear.
If it's not necessary, then don't do it. He nodded to Chu Xuan through the armor, and then expressed his preference.
"The next step may be a less difficult battle. It may even be a simpler spacecraft cleaning, which can basically be left to a few of our seniors. Everyone can relax, but it is not without accidents. The possibility. Although it is relatively small, but... we should avoid getting close to the plot area of Alien 2 as much as possible."
"Alien 2?" Zheng Zha frowned, then suddenly realized. "You mean... pre-requisite side missions? Like when we were underground at Umbrella's research center?"
Chu Xuan did not interrupt some information from senior people, but just turned his ear slightly. The other newcomers were also listening intently.
"Well, there is that possibility." Jiang Yu replied: "Although we are now in the world of Alien 1, and the colonial area of Alien 2 will not be built for at least several decades. But the follow-up between the plots may not be connected. .In order to prevent the Lord God from spawning a bunch of big monsters for us, we’d better be careful.”
"Ah... that's true." Zheng Zha's lips twitched. The giant tyrant in Umbrella's underground left a deep enough impression on him. If the same thing happened again, it wouldn't be easy.
"As far as I know, in the plot of Alien 2, the alien spacecraft that crashed on the surface of the planet did not appear. But the plot of Alien 2 is indeed the result of the company's research on aliens and loss of control." Chu Xuan said This is the time to interject. "If there is a connection between Alien 1 and 2, then apart from Ripley, that spaceship must be a key node. Wieland Company must have relied on it to launch research on Alien. But as long as we don't use it If it is completely destroyed, the second plot fifty-seven years later should not change." - The implication is that if the ship is not destroyed, additional branches will not be triggered.
"Besides, I just discovered something interesting." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses.
"What is it? Stop showing off, Chu Xuan." Zheng Zha's curiosity was aroused, and he subconsciously turned his head.
"We came here in a small aircraft. The size of that aircraft is not much different from the specifications of Ripley's escape spacecraft. Ripley's escape spacecraft cannot jump, and neither can our nature. In addition, the Lord God has given us Theoretically speaking, there should be a company ship near this transport barge waiting for us to send a message, or even report and report on our work."
He looked away from the light screen in front of him and looked at everyone.
"But I just successfully opened the radar interface and found that it didn't exist."
"...Zhan Lan?" Jiang Yu subconsciously glanced at the spiritual power users in the team.
Tens of seconds later.
"...That's true." Zhan Lan opened his eyes and exhaled softly. "I used fuzzy scans to cover hundreds of kilometers of the surrounding space... indeed there is none. There is no company's spacecraft nearby. And the aircraft when we came... its structure is indeed relatively simple."
"As expected." Chu Xuan nodded. "Things that exist logically should not disappear without logic. Since the theoretically existing company ship is not here, then it may be in another area."
"Planet 426." Jiang Yu said in a low voice. "Since the synthetics have contacted the company, they may have also sent intelligence. And when we were dealing with the aliens, the ships of Wieland Company went to explore the planets with alien spacecrafts in the intelligence... After all, they were just aliens. A living body, even if it occupies the entire ship, is nothing more than a group of rats in a cage. Compared with the value of an alien spacecraft... it is simply the same as nothing."
"Yes, but without competitors and with the warning of the fall of the Nosmo, Wieland Company will definitely be more cautious in its exploration of alien planets than expected -" Chu Xuan made an agreement. gesture. "They will not fall to the ground easily, so don't worry, we are unlikely to need to compete with the company's exploration personnel for the right to dispose of the alien eggs. On the contrary, we are likely to become a suicide squad and go to the ground. Because we have close contact with these The alien creature has not been cleaned yet. It is really suitable for exploring unknown areas."
"Tsk, giant corporations in the world. Capitalists are pissed off." Jiang Yu snorted.
"But it's a good thing for us." Chu Xuan nodded, not denying Jiang Yu's evaluation of the company: "Our exploration will receive support. Although it is unlikely that there will be friendly forces, but if the negotiations are done properly, then we may still be able to Get lots of extra supplies.”
The person negotiating could only be Chu Xuan. This man is slowly but inevitably gaining more and more say from the seniors in his own way.
It cannot be stopped and there is no reason to stop it. Because before the mutation happened, it was just an insignificant thing, a small thing for newcomers to try to show themselves.
But Jiang Yu lowered her eyes.
Before a battle, there must be supplies - a slang among gamers emerged in his mind.
At the same time, the first question in his heart also emerged. And expansion - he knows the evaluation rules in the reincarnation world, and the sequence number of the movie suffix also represents the difficulty of the world. In the original Infinity, the aliens that appeared in the Alien Four Worlds were even able to use body fluids to create mental shields. The combat effectiveness and mobility are even more different.
So... going to the Engineer Spaceship, there is actually not much possibility of triggering the front branch of Alien 2. After all, the gap between time and place is too huge, and it is really difficult to connect with each other.
However, if the setting of Prometheus is used in this universe. So, head to the Engineer ship. Basically, it will be able to trigger side tasks related to Prometheus. And if we go by the order, Prometheus... is Alien 5!
He wasn't sure. He didn't know whether Zhang Jie knew the plot of Prometheus. Being foresight may not always be a benefit, just like he didn't want to go to the underground machine room of the original hive even to death. Only after calming down and recalling all the information about Prometheus would he feel scruples.
He couldn't help but miss the Predator. At least those space hunters knew the etiquette of dueling.
So, in the end, he could only breathe out silently.
"We... need to be careful." He emphasized it again.
