Chapter 50 Operation Siren, Live Samples
Chapter 50 Operation Siren, Live Samples
The Pacific Ocean is currently very busy, with the naval fleets of the United States and the United Kingdom constantly patrolling the entire area. In space, there are also numerous probe satellites continuously scanning this region.
The US is genuinely conducting the scan, while the University of Tokyo is just going through the motions.
After obtaining the coordinates of the lizardmen's base from Fang Heng, Dongda University had a plan to deal with the situation.
Unknown enemies are the most troublesome. After learning the location of the base, Dongda immediately prepared to launch an attack to eliminate these lizardmen.
However, the decision was quickly rejected because the base was located closer to the US, and the Lizardmen's main attack position was also on the US side, so the attack intensity on the East University side was not high.
At a deeper level, it's a matter of strategy.
With this lizardman present, the University of Tokyo can take the opportunity to integrate domestic resources, and many top-secret projects can be accelerated without worrying about international repercussions.
Moreover, due to the University of Tokyo's formidable strength, it has now become a new safe haven for global capital.
Therefore, the global alert during this period did not cause significant fluctuations in the economy within the University of Tokyo; in fact, it even showed an upward trend.
With these advantages, Dong naturally wasn't in a hurry.
Most importantly, the various devices obtained from the lizardmen led to small-scale technological innovations at Tokyo University.
Many technological breakthroughs have been achieved, and in the eyes of the University of Tokyo, these lizardmen are a treasure trove.
Fang Heng had also seen this. Through Ethan, he knew the actual level of the lizardmen, so he didn't say anything about what Dongda did.
Although it appears that the lizardmen are capable of reaching Earth through interstellar travel, their actual level of intelligence is not very high.
Through his research on these lizardmen, Fang Heng also discovered that their potential was very limited, and their current state was basically their limit.
This is due to the genetic limitations of the lizardmen; their brain capacity is not high. They are good as warriors, but they cannot master more advanced weapons.
Therefore, these lizardmen are at most slightly better than the Americans in terms of combat power; they cannot operate any more advanced weapons and equipment.
If the civilization behind the lizardmen uses unmanned mechanical legions, Ethan is no pushover and can instantly take control of these mechanical legions, so there's no need to worry about them slipping out of his control.
Fang Heng and Dongda both need time right now, so he pretended not to see Dongda's actions.
Meanwhile, in Africa, Fang Heng also strengthened monitoring of his South African region, as well as the surrounding east coast and southern waters, to prevent a repeat of the previous incident.
Although the appearance of these lizardmen is like delivering food to our side, their frequent attacks also greatly hinder our development.
Meanwhile, after a long voyage, the Siren finally arrived near the Lizardman base.
Under the control of the Mother Nest, the siren did not get too close to the lizardmen's underwater base, but instead circled around it, quickly figuring out the approximate area of the lizardmen's base.
Overall, the current Lizardman underwater base is much larger in area and has added several domes with additional functions.
Through observation, Fang Heng was able to basically determine the basic functions of these domes.
First, there are the domes for cultivating lizardmen. There are basically seven of them. After several days of observation, it can be confirmed that these domes can cultivate one thousand lizardmen every day. With seven domes, that's seven thousand people per day.
This also explains why there were so many reptilians attacking the eastern coast previously.
Besides this, there's also the energy dome.
This civilization should be a bio-like civilization, with biotechnology as its mainstream technology, supplemented by some mechanical and energy technologies.
Because inside this dome, Fang Heng saw the technology he wanted: the bio-reaction core.
This is a biological energy core that can be used as the energy core of a biological warship.
From the current perspective, this is a basic version and has great research value.
If you continue forward, you'll reach the equipment factory, where you can see production lines constantly manufacturing equipment.
The seabed is rich in resources, not only biological resources but also mineral resources, which is why this base has been able to develop so quickly.
After circling the base, we gained an understanding of its defenses.
Outside the base, there are some fleshy structures resembling artillery emplacements. Through the siren's own sensory organs, it can be determined that they contain energy similar to plasma swarms, and may use plasma swarms to attack, just like plasma worms.
Moreover, there were lizardman patrols around from time to time.
Because of the siren's appearance and behavior, these lizardmen mistook them for ordinary squid.
The marine life around the base is mainly driven away using the base's own repellent devices.
As for the hunting grounds, they were located elsewhere.
To ensure the base remains undetected, energy activity is minimized, and lighting is uncontrolled. Because it is located in the deep sea, even if all the lights were turned on, it would not be visible on the surface.
This also made it easier for the siren to observe from a distance, allowing Fang Heng to obtain a lot of information.
"Commander, based on the previous autopsies and the current data, we can conclude that these lizardmen are unable to move freely in water and still need the ability of their armor to survive in water. They are terrestrial creatures."
"Hmm, I guess the other side didn't expect that it would crash into the seabed. But that shouldn't be the case. If it were a real interstellar civilization, it should have both aquatic and terrestrial life forms to invade other civilizations."
"Commander, perhaps this situation is caused by the aquatic genetic data landing on land during the fall."
Based on the analysis of previous attacks, it can be preliminarily determined that such genetic data likely exists within the United States, which explains why these parasitic individuals have repeatedly attacked the US.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but the most important thing now is to obtain live data. I have been looking forward to the biological core of these lizardmen for a long time."
"Commander, the Brood has a detailed battle plan, which you will see shortly."
Hearing Ethan's words, Fang Heng nodded and watched patiently.
At this moment, after determining the pattern of the patrol teams around the base, the Siren also quietly arrived at a location, preparing to ambush a patrol team.
Time passed slowly, and as the new patrol team approached, Fang Heng couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Splash!"
As the water surged, several tentacles quickly emerged from beneath the seabed, trapping several patrolling lizardmen. The next moment, they were violently pulled down, and a gaping maw swallowed them whole.
"Attack! Attack!"
The lizardman leading the patrol squad disregarded the order not to fire indiscriminately and immediately raised his weapon and opened fire.
"call out!"
As a flash of light appeared, the large mouth also began to burn.
"roar!"
In pain, the siren extended several more tentacles and seized all the remaining lizardmen.
"Snap!"
As the tentacles tightened, the captured lizardmen were instantly killed.
Then the tentacles didn't stop there either; they swallowed the lizardman corpses and ran away.
The mother hive's orders were clear: capture a few live lizardmen and then leave.
Although attacked, the mission is complete, and the siren must leave.
A minute later, a new patrol arrived and, after assessing the situation, quickly pursued the siren.
"You just swallowed it like that?"
"Yes, Commander. Inside the Siren, there is a special space where some items can be stored."
These captured lizardmen are kept here.
"Are these lizardmen still conscious?"
"Commander, don't worry. The electric current will stun these lizardmen the moment they enter the chamber. We've tested the data, and there might be a slight error, but it won't have a significant impact."
"Okay, does the Siren need support?"
"It's all arranged. There's a hunter squad and a transport ship in the sky not far from the Siren, specifically for the rapid relocation of the Siren."
The initial purpose of sending the siren to the target location was to test data; now that the relevant data has been obtained, there's no need to waste time.
"Yes, very good, you've considered everything very thoroughly."
Upon hearing Ethan's arrangement, Fang Heng nodded in agreement; such an arrangement was indeed very reasonable.
Soon, as the siren arrived at its destination, it swiftly swam towards the surface of the sea. Its rapid movement propelled it into the air after breaking through the water, where it landed precisely in the net below the transporter.
The transporter dipped sharply, then regained its balance and quickly ascended. At the same time, the hatch above the net opened, taking the net inside.
Not long after the hunters and transporters left, a group of lizardmen surfaced from the water, searched the area, and, finding no target, reluctantly returned to the seabed.
"A brilliant operation, well done, Ethan."
"Thank you for your compliment."
"Is Jiang Feng's side ready?"
"Minister Jiang has been notified. Preparations over there are complete. Once the transporters arrive, the live animal will be received immediately to prevent any deaths."
"Okay, you guys handle the arrangements. Bio-network technology is very important, so tell Jiang Feng to get things moving quickly."
"Yes, Commander."
Time passed quickly, and as Jiang Feng waited anxiously, a transporter appeared in the sky and soon arrived at the airport.
As the siren was released, several tentacles were stuffed into its mouth, pulling out several unconscious lizardmen.
"Quickly, get life support equipment on! Don't let these guys die! Cut off their signal to prevent them from being remotely targeted and forced to self-destruct."
In a swift action by a group of people, the live lizardmen were quickly received and transported to the biological laboratory.
