Chapter 159
"Don’t worry . With the creator’s particle in place, it’s impossible for these signals to get through . "
On the way to the war room, Zhang Heng told Yao Yuan . But Yao Yuan retorted with an argument that made his body go cold .
"About that, I’ve been thinking . The creator’s particle has its limitation too .
"First of all, even though the creator’s particle is said to be able to block all electrical signals, and it has indeed proven to do so by all our experiments, Zhang Heng, it couldn’t block one particular kind of signal . "
Zhang Heng lurched in his step as he asked, "And what is that?"
"Electrical signals that come from the human body, like brain waves!"
Yao Yuan didn’t stop to wait for Zhang Heng . "This is the creator’s particle’s biggest weakness . Of course, we have to be thankful that this technology has such a weakness, or we would've all been dead from body shutdown when we came near the junkyard . However, this limitation has landed us in our current conundrum .
"When we were first attacked, I didn’t think so much of it, but after you told me about the alien’s origin, I came away with a nagging thought . How does this alien command so many monsters? If it’s like what you said, the alien exists as a form of central consciousness, then how could it manage the battlefield from so far away, bypassing the field of the creator’s particle?"
The more Yao Yuan thought about it, the more his face sunk . After some time, he continued, "Therefore, I came up with a hypothesis . If this alien on Moon 2 is mentally linked to each of the monsters, it is highly probable that this linkage is via something like a brain wave . Just like how our body motion is determined by a thought, the actions of these monsters are also controlled by the main body’s thoughts . Of course, for us, our brain and body are interconnected, but for the alien, its brain and units are completely separated . This may sound improbable, but it is definitely not impossible . "
Zhang Heng’s expression also dimmed when he thought about what Yao Yuan said . "In other words, the alien on Moon 2 already knows about what’s happening here?" Zhang Heng asked carefully .
"I believe so… But we better test it out first . "
Then they found themselves at the war room . Inside were seated all the Black Star Troopers, authorities from the 3 bodies, Guang Zhen, and the battalion commanders who had just returned from the surface .
Yao Yuan quickly got everyone updated on the bio lab’s development . Then he revealed his hypothesis to the room . He said, "Therefore, I suspect things are going to get harsh . The 7 battalions aboveground, you must keep the surface entrance protected . I’ll provide all the weapons and support you’ll need to make this happen," Yao Yuan ordered .
The battalion commanders stood up in unison, "Sir, yes, Sir!"
Yao Yuan then turned to the Black Star Troopers and scanned the members . "Xiao Niao, Qiu Qiu, Dan Dan, and Ying, I want the four of you to get into a Space Combat Jet Prototype 003 immediately to conduct a thorough scouting around this planet . After making sure the planet is safe, I need you to move into space . The distance covered I’ll leave it to your discretion, but stay away from Moon 2’s orbital range, because I fear there are anti-air measures . The scouting will last for 3 hours, and I’ll see you back at the Hope after the 3 hours .
"Ying will be the leader and Xiao Niao will be the sub-leader and temporary strategist . Now, it’s…" Yao Yuan looked at his watch . "3:27 PM . I want a detailed scouting report at 6:35 pm . Dismissed . "
Ying saluted and left the room without a word . An excited Xiao Niao, Qiu Qiu, and Dan Dan moved to follow .
Yao Yuan then turned to Guang Zhen . "Ol’ Wong, I’ll leave the surface defense to you . If I’m not mistaken, we’ll be facing a grand assault soon . It’s hard to tell how many there will be, but should it come to a dire situation, I need you to secure the area until the Hope manages to lift into the air . "
Guang Zhen saluted, but he added, "Reporting, Sir . The defense unit might be assaulted by monster air force, and if those flying monsters are shielded, we will suffer a great loss . "
Yao Yuan responded immediately, "If they send an air force or a giant monsters appear in the sky, I’ll personally lead the troopers to intercept them!"
Guang Zhen continued, "Reporting, Sir . If there’re shielded long-ranged artillery monsters, the defense unit too will be cornered . Therefore I request 1 unit of Black Star Troopers to assist the defense unit as back up!"
