Putting on the old clothes, it felt familiar yet strange. There were medals hanging on the chest, representing the honors he had received.
After changing clothes, Dr. Hammer first looked in the mirror for a while and wiped away the wrinkles from his clothes. Then he came to the main console, looked at the yellowed photo, and said to himself.
"Simon Dahl, star domain 36, laser weapons expert, star date 3069, the experiment failed and the explosion occurred. The forced rescue experiment was successful, and he died in the explosion."
"Quentin Allen, Sixth Attack Fleet, stationed ship's voyage positioning consultant, stardate 3072, sacrificed on the battlefield in the defense of Galaxy No. 77."
"Fuad Brent, Voyager Fleet No. 1, the person in charge of the 'New Home' project, in stardate 3075, the Voyager fleet ran out of supplies, and the entire fleet had no hope of returning home, so he committed suicide.
"..."
"Zhongyang Sun, director of the Edge Star Scientific Research Bureau and the person in charge of the Fire No. 2 Project. In stardate 3094, the experimental base was discovered by the Ser Protoss. They used spar energy to attack the opponent's fleet and perished together."
Dr. Hammer faced the photo with the straightest posture and read out the name of each person on it, as well as...their identity and the time they sacrificed.
For a long time, Dr. Hammer clearly remembered everyone's information until he finally read out his name.
"Hammer...Hammer Da Vinci, the executor of the Edge Spark Project and the person in charge of Project No. 1."
"Compatriots, your sacrifices have not been in vain. The Fire Plan is completed."
After speaking, Dr. Hammer looked to his left, where there was a notebook.
This is the diary of the emergency manager of Scientific Research Station No. 6 that was left on the operating table before the clone left.
However, before the diary, the clone wrote something.
It's a plan, a plan for what these clones are going to do.
They are going to the Protoss base, to grab a spaceship, and to leave this planet.
What a bunch of stupid guys. Before Sun died, he had already destroyed the Protoss's voyage ship.
Those protoss had no hope of repairing it, and even dismantled the hull to build a base.
Now, all they have left is a few small ships.
At most, they can leave this planet, but they have no ability to travel far.
What's the use of grabbing it? Are you wandering in space relying on that inconspicuous power?
Although most of today's spacecraft have life support systems, they do not have ocean-going capabilities...
Even if he survives, he has no place to stay.
We can only wait a few decades, or even longer, to drift to a planet.
When Dr. Hammer read the plan for the first time, he was filled with anger.
In his opinion, such a plan would only sacrifice the successful fire gene in vain.
But after the plan, the clone left a message that told him to calm down.
"The Edge Star has been targeted by the Protoss Council and will definitely be silenced. There is no chance of success in clinging to the Lone Star. The Fire is destined to set sail and mankind will survive forever."
Is it doomed?
"Humanity will survive forever, even if it costs everything..." Looking at these words, Dr. Hammer suddenly remembered the oath his compatriots had sworn before, and remained silent for a long time.
a long time......
"Doctor, we have traced the whereabouts of the positioning chip."
"us……"
Suddenly, a mechanical guard walked in outside the door. After seeing Dr. Hammer's appearance clearly, he was obviously stunned.
In his memory, he had never seen Dr. Hammer wearing such clothes before, so he almost didn't recognize him.
Doctor today...
After hearing what the mechanical guard said, Dr. Hammer turned to look at him.
"You didn't finish what you said, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the familiar and serious voice, the mechanical guard came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke:
"We found the chip, but they had thrown it away. The place where it fell happened to be where the Cyr Protoss landed. We killed those guys, but also lost their trace."
"It's a pity, such bad luck." The tone of the mechanical guard was not very good.
"Really?" Dr. Hammer's tone was a little strange. He suddenly said something meaningless, "Sure enough... thank you for your hard work."
"Not miserable."
"It's a pity that we didn't catch them. Doctor, what should we do next? We must catch them back, and that crystal stone, which is the key to the experiment!"
Everyone here regards experimentation as their mission, which is deeply rooted in their souls.
But in the main control room, Dr. Hammer shook his head and suddenly sat down quietly without saying a word.
Seeing this, the excited mechanical guard felt something was wrong. He stopped talking, but he didn't leave either.
In this way, one person sat quietly and the other stood quietly. After a while, Dr. Hammer spoke.
"Jill, how far do you think this group of people can go?"
"Doctor, what goes far?" When his name was called, Jill was confused and blurted out subconsciously.
Dr. Hammer shook his head.
"Help me retrieve a piece of data from previous life scans and make a simulation to calculate whether this group of people can undertake the human reproduction plan."
"yes."
Jill operated a few times on the console, and soon a report appeared on the screen.
"Doctor, there are both men and women in this group. Except for one male who is infertile, all others are above the standard, while the women's bodies are very healthy."
"They meet the basic requirements of the breeding program..."
Hearing this, Dr. Hammer couldn't help but knock on the metal table in front of him and murmured to himself.
"In other words, if these people can leave alive and go to a place where they are not discovered by the Ser Protoss, they can theoretically continue the race, right?"
"Yes, but this is just a hypothesis. Only theory can do it." Jill nodded, without any personal feelings, and reported meticulously.
"Yes, it can only be done theoretically..." Dr. Hammer let out a long sigh, and under the metallic sound quality, there was only a wry smile.
"But that's enough. It's so enviable. They have the basis for what is theoretically possible, but we don't even have this theory."
"Jill, for the Spark Project, we have been on the Edge Planet for so many years, and I even transformed you into what you are now. Do you resent me?"
"No!" Gil immediately stood up and replied decisively: "We have been prepared for a long time and are willing to sacrifice everything for the future of mankind!"
"We are ready to give everything, but after all, we still have many reservations." Dr. Hammer said in a serious tone, "Maybe we have not given enough."
Dr. Hammer glanced at the door: "Since we don't even have a theory for human reproduction, why not seize the last chance and leave hope to others."
"...Doctor, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Dr. Hammer did not explain, but continued to ask him: "Will you regret risking everything for a slim hope?"
At the door, Gil didn't know what the doctor planned to do, but his tone was extremely serious.
"Doctor, every guard in the base respects you and admires you, and they all want to be like you. No matter how much we pay, we all believe in you, be loyal to the Fire Project, dedicate everything to mankind, and never regret it!"
Dr. Hammer nodded. If it had not been at a critical moment and there was no extra choice, he would not put his hope on others like he does now.
"Thank you all for me."
"Now listen to my instructions, turn on all backup energy sources in the base, cut off the connections to all backup cabins, and also cut off the energy supply to those laboratories, leaving only the main control area and power area."
"By the way, bring out all the ammunition and weapons and assemble all the guards in the base."
"...Let us bet everything to increase the probability of that small hope."
"I believe that humanity will survive forever."
Trial countdown, 1 hour...
Protoss base, second underground floor.
A hidden gate slowly opened, and then a person came in.
Liu Ziyun.
He held a rifle in his hand, looked around cautiously, found nothing was going on, and waved behind him.
The next second, Tang Jiumin walked in behind him.
He did not hold a weapon in his hand, but held a tablet in his left hand and a box containing the Great Priest Crystal in his right hand.
"There is no danger nearby. This is the part where they dare not see people." After Tang Jiumin came in, he immediately spoke to Liu Ziyun.
The opponent's muzzle moved slightly downward.
Behind the two people, Li Changfu and others entered one after another.
Entering the Protoss base again, the defense is still sparse.
This is also fortunate. The underground laboratory of the Protoss base involves religious secrets and is not dared to be disclosed. This leads to the fact that there are few patrolling Ser Protoss in the entire underground part of the base.
Soon, the group of people moved along the route that Tang Jiumin had planned before arriving.
Logically speaking, the greatest threat should be those hidden turrets. They are hidden in corners and walls and will only appear when enemies are approaching.
But the existence of electronic boards makes them mere decorations.
On the contrary, there were several small turrets in the open, which posed a complete threat to everyone.
However, with Liu Ziyun's rich experience, everyone was able to avoid it without any danger based on the rotation speed of the turret.
Finally, they came to a staircase. Going up to the underground level of the Protoss base, and walking a little further forward, was the tunnel to the hangar.
Tang Jiumin took out the tablet and pointed to a location on it.
"Liu Bodhisattva, look here, this is an engineering warehouse at the Protoss base."
"They didn't build this base by digging. You saw those tunnels. They probably needed explosives. I guess they are still there."
"I'll leave it to you. I don't know the difference between these explosives and the ones we used before we were alive, but you have to use them, arrange them according to the plan, and be ready to respond at any time."
Liu Ziyun nodded heavily and thought for a moment: "Leave this matter to me and Li Changfu, is that okay?"
"Okay." Li Changfu was a reliable person. Tang Jiumin nodded without any objection and looked at the other three people.
Or rather, two people.
Two people with twinkling eyes.
Chen Min and Cheng Zhi.
"Boss Chen." Tang Jiumin's eyes swept across the two of them, and finally landed on Chen Min, half-smiling.
These three words made Chen Min's heart tremble. He quickly smiled and was about to speak, but Tang Jiumin got there first.
"I think Boss Chen has nothing else on his mind right now. You can take the rest of the people and rush directly to the spaceship from the second underground floor."
He was not sent to any other dangerous place. When Chen Min heard this unexpected order, he looked up at Tang Jiumin in surprise, only to meet the latter's playful gaze.
"No problem." Chen Min couldn't help but avoid the other party's gaze: "Then I will take it..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Jiumin again.
"Boss Chen, remember clearly, the spaceship cannot leave directly."
"Identity verification is one thing. There are many turrets in this Protoss base. If we drive out directly, I am afraid that the spacecraft will be blown to pieces before we are even 500 meters away from the ground."
Several times in a row, he was preempted or interrupted by the other party. Someone else would have been a little dissatisfied, but Chen Min nodded calmly.
"Captain Tang, don't worry. I know what's going on, so I won't bother you to say more."
"I won't make the same mistake."
"Okay, I feel more at ease with your words." Tang Jiumin shrugged: "After all, Boss Chen's guarantee is very reliable, then you can take someone there."
The warning has been given, it is up to the other party whether to listen or not.
Then, Tang Jiumin looked at Liu Ziyun again.
"After you finish setting up the explosives here, I should have already started to launch the plan here. You have to stay alert by then, because I don't know if the senior leaders of the Gods have a back-up plan. After all, we just broke in here before."
"Li Changfu, there is only one thing you can't do wrong. Hold the detonator in your hand. I will let you press the detonator after getting the ID card."
"Understood, I will make no mistakes." Li Changfu agreed repeatedly.
"Everyone, please remember, if anyone does something wrong, we will die."
Tang Jiumin didn't wait too long, arranged everything, picked up a box, walked to the upstairs gate, and prepared to go to the holy church.
"Wait a minute." Liu Ziyun's voice came from behind, "How confident are you about this operation, especially your part?"
"If it doesn't work out, just give it back to me."
"Confirmed?" Tang Jiumin's body paused slightly.
"I have arranged everything I can think of in advance. The only risk is in the church. Only by doing this can I control the risks."
"You just need to complete your part of the mission."
"If everything goes well, everyone will be alive."
When Tang Jiumin said this, he paused for a moment: "So Officer Liu, do what you should do and don't cause any more trouble."
Under the gaze of others, Tang Jiumin said the last sentence and entered the gate without looking back.
To go to the underground level, you need to pass through two gates, which are very soundproof. This is why he just handed over the task with confidence.
But after passing through this gate, the danger begins.
Tang Jiumin, who had his back turned to everyone, quickly entered the state of mind and was highly tense.
Because of the deliberate concealment of the top leaders of the Ser Protoss, no protoss warriors were stationed on the second underground floor.
But starting on the ground floor, things start to feel a little different.
