Chapter 391: The Exiled
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Great Wall of the Galaxy was the most spectacular interstellar space project in this Exile Galaxy. It started from the Wound Galaxy and ended at the Storm Origin Galaxy. It spanned the entire barred spiral galaxy and was nearly 70,000 light-years long, covering more than two billion galaxies.
Every galaxy that was part of the Great Wall of the Galaxy had a complicated space fortress structure. It was filled with all kinds of weapons, ready to destroy all enemies at any time.
In the spaceports of these space fortresses, there were mobile fleets that were constantly in combat readiness. As long as any of the space fortresses were in danger, these fleets would rush over from all directions to provide support. They would never slack off or give up.
In the eyes of those who were protected by the Great Wall of the Galaxy, this was a lifeline. Without the huge defense line formed by these fortresses, their current lives would not exist.
The media reported that this interstellar space project was called the Hell Defense Line because the battles here had always been the most intense “Hell” that made all the participants narrowly escape death.
Those who could return alive from this place were definitely worthy of being called heroes and respected by everyone.
Today was a festival worthy of solemn commemoration for the entire Exiled civilization because a new batch of soldiers and officers would be sent to the Hell Defense Line.
How many people would use the starry sky as a tomb and how many would return as heroes?
No one knew the outcome. They could only hope that the people they valued would not be buried in the starry sky.
“…I’m very happy because there are 20% more warriors who are determined to go to that place than last time.”
“Even without compulsory requirements, everyone took on their responsibilities spontaneously and chose to stand on the battlefield that left their home…”
“It’s obvious that we’re still moving forward. Even though we’re branded as sinners, we can still maintain our firm beliefs…”
Such a motivational speech was transmitted in all directions from every segment of this assembly point ring world. However, in fact, no sound could be heard in the circular world. Only certain parts of the circular world were vibrating weakly with a certain law.
The sound waves formed by these vibrations basically had no effect on the air. They could hardly be felt even if they were transmitted through solids.
However, these soldiers had serious expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they could hear these voices.
To be precise, it was a certain gene that made their bodies grow a kind of fur that could capture the slightest tremble.
Their developed neural tissues could easily treat this vibration law as a language they were familiar with and achieve the effect of hearing it.
They didn’t have to worry about their overly sensitive senses making them hear all kinds of noise at all times because they had an additional second brain in their bodies. This second brain was only one-third the size of their first brain, but it was especially used to process useless information.
Its information-processing ability was hundreds of thousands of times greater than that of the first brain, and it could perform about a million simple calculations per second.
Although this number was not comparable to computers, and even the computing speed of some native civilizations was much faster than this number, it was already a miracle for a lifeform’s brain.
Before the consciousness command was issued, this second brain could roughly distinguish what was trash and what might be useful information. Then, it would block out the useless parts and leave the remaining parts to the first brain to decide.
The information transmission efficiency of their nerve cells was equally powerful. In addition to creating their astonishing reaction speed, it also strengthened the information-processing ability of their brains.
Each of them was actually equivalent to a walking old-fashioned computer with all kinds of advanced external equipment because each of them had experienced the most extreme and perfect genetic modification in the past. After being modified until this generation, they could already be considered perfect lifeforms in a certain sense.
For example, they could freely control the secretion of hormones in the body, so that they could control their emotions. They could cry, laugh, be fearless, or ignore everything.
However, because most of them did not like the feeling of controlling their emotions, they usually did not actively control the secretion of emotional hormones.
Although there were times when their subconscious would help them make decisions and affect their emotions, most of the time, they still acted not much different from normal life.
Similarly, all viruses, bacteria, or other foreign invaders could not infect them at all.
Their bodies were like a highly refined precision machine. Any excessive part of this machine would be instantly identified and cause a powerful counterattack.
The eradication of all diseases in their bodies was their most basic physical fitness. The efficient utilization of chemical energy and the distribution of tissue structure provided support for this perfect body.
Such a powerful body naturally had an extremely high metabolism speed. Their second brain alone was a huge energy consumption device, let alone other organs.
The main ingredients of their food now were various radioactive substances. Although their bodies could not undergo fission reactions, they could absorb a large amount of energy through special methods to supply their consumption.
In a certain era in the past, they isolated and studied the mitochondria and lifeform reactors of certain space lifeforms and found a way to form a miniature lifeform reactor in their bodies.
They no longer had any organs that belonged to the gut in their bodies. As their lifeform reactor, the stomach took on the functions of digestion and absorption at the same time to save space in their bodies.
A unique mitochondrion that was widely distributed in the body also had the corresponding energy release efficiency. It was enough to transfer the energy absorbed by the lifeform reactor to other body tissues in a more effective way. In addition to the above, there was also a kind of dormant super stem cells in their bodies. These cells could be quickly activated and divided in times of crisis, allowing their bodies to grow tissues that could adapt to danger as much as possible.
Even if 90% of their body tissues were missing, these super stem cells could allow them to grow back.
However, with such terrifying biotechnology strength and the ability to complete the Great Wall of the Galaxy, which also required extremely high-tech cosmic engineering, they were still constantly mobilizing troops to fight at the front line.
How terrifying was the enemy they were facing?
At this moment, the motivational speech had already reached the end.
“…This year is the 3.5 millionth year of the interstellar space war against the despicable Hunter. It’s been so long that we almost forgot why we’re fighting…” “But we still have to remember that we are the Exiled! We fight to repay our sins!”
The speech ended here. One spaceship after another carried these soldiers to the border wall known as the Hell Defense Line..
