Chapter 106 The Artificial Behemoth Project

Human beings need to occupy more land and resources to develop, and human development will inevitably lead to direct conflict with giant beasts.

If there were no giants of light and aliens in tokusatsu dramas, the world would probably look like this.

Robert, a flight lieutenant who drives away giant beasts, has his own family, a son in high school, and a gentle wife.

His mission was to fly fighter jets to patrol the area around the city-state, report any sightings of the behemoths in a timely manner, and provide timely air support and conduct air strikes against the behemoths when they invaded the city-state.

Although the wars were mostly won by humans, after all, no matter how huge the behemoths were, they were still carbon-based life forms. When faced with siege cannons, thermobaric bombs, and man-portable nuclear weapons, they could not defeat them even if they tried their best.

Carbon-based life has its limits.

However, human attacks always result in heavy losses for both sides, and the giant beasts would repeatedly breach the city walls, causing irreparable disasters within the city. Human weapons would also occasionally be needed to attack the giant beasts that invaded the city, causing even more losses.

The world went through this cycle for many years, and humans and giant beasts seemed to have become mortal enemies, fighting each other to the death for the sake of who would be the master of the world.

In such a world, humans hate giant beasts, and giant beasts hate humans. The victors will become the new top of the food chain in the next era, while the losers will be completely buried in the dust of history.

This is a war of races, which has nothing to do with good or evil, or justice.

But today, the flight mission was canceled, and Lieutenant Robert received a special assignment: he needed to sign the most extreme confidentiality agreement.

When he arrived at his destination, he finally learned the full name of the plan.

"The artificial behemoth project aims to control the behemoths using human thinking and morality, thereby defeating them."

This is the new team he will be joining...

……

"Jingle Bell!"

As the alarm clock rang, Xue Dinglu seemed to struggle out of drowning water. He was panting heavily, and his vast memories of the other world began to resurface.

"A world of giants and humans, the artificial giant beast project..." He kept repeating everything he had seen last night.

Then, he looked again at the over eighty-meter-long behemoth inside his body...

Xue Lude had already guessed that the monster, which resembled a combination of a lizard and a dinosaur and was covered with metallic scales, was none other than Lieutenant Robert, whom he had seen yesterday!
No wonder, this creature doesn't even exist in the records of the Great Sage.

“Lieutenant Robert,” he called out to the behemoth again.

However, the behemoth did not respond.

He was not in a good position to comment on this matter... In order to defeat the giant beasts, humans prepared to develop artificial giant beasts, vainly hoping to control the power of the giant beasts through their own efforts.

Can it be successful?

Xue Ludeng didn't know, but in his judgment, most of the giant beasts were near-mythical level monsters, and Lieutenant Robert's current strength in his giant beast form was already close to the near-5th level.

This doesn't even take into account the advantage brought by their enormous size and weight. In a normal battle, Zeus would be able to defeat these behemoths...

Well, Zeus might really be able to defeat the behemoths as easily as beating his grandson.

Even so, these giant beasts would be at least on par with the Hydra, Cerberus, Chimera, and Cyclops in Greek mythology.

Just like the Nashb insectoids last time, if their ability to distort and corrupt the present world were banned, they might not be able to defeat this giant beast that Lieutenant Robert was in disguise, relying solely on their physical strength.

At least in terms of power, the humans of that world did succeed; they successfully created a near-Tier 5 artificial behemoth.

However, Xue's right eyelid kept twitching, and he had a bad feeling that things were definitely not that simple.

Just like Robert, who is now quietly staying in the space of consciousness, like a large-sized figurine, it seems to have lost consciousness and thought, leaving only instinct.

"Lieutenant, say something! Just squatting there is pathetic. People will talk about you for the rest of their lives."

The behemoth remained unresponsive.

"Never mind, I still have to rush to my 8 a.m. class." Xue Dinglu started checking his schedule. Luckily, he didn't have a political theory class.

Last night, I stayed up late editing videos and researching how to make giant monster meat taste better, so I didn't have time to go to the school's flea market to hunt for some.

As he left his house, he saw that everything seemed normal at the entrance. He then looked again at the surveillance camera installed on the courtyard wall and the methods he used to deal with those people.

Everything is ready. If you dare to attack again, you will not return alive!

After saying that, he turned around, picked up his bicycle, and went to school.

Compared to the universities depicted in web dramas or urban novels, USTC doesn't seem to have many luxury cars, champagne, or other things that exude a bourgeois atmosphere.

What he saw most at school were couples dating, upperclassmen vying for library seats, and postgraduate entrance exam candidates studying under the streetlights on the playground after the library closed.

He has lived here for eighteen years and has never seen anything like the rich kids looking down on ordinary students.

By the way, most rich kids can't get into this school, and those who do are the ultimate test-takers, spending their time in the library or student council.

His grades actually gave him a chance to get into a university of Tsinghua University's caliber, but he just liked the atmosphere at USTC. There was no extravagance or frivolity, and no sense of competition or comparison. Even girls wearing makeup weren't many on campus.

After all, this school basically only admits science and engineering majors, and other humanities-oriented majors are mostly geography, geology, humanities research, and philosophy research.

There won't be any abstract scenario like a Go champion being guaranteed a place in university to study Go.

Meanwhile, USTC is not far from his home. He played on the playground there many times when he was in elementary school. Xue's Law can be said to know the geography of USTC better than many professors and teachers. If a rich second-generation drives a luxury car to the school to cause trouble, he probably won't even get past the old man at the gate. He'll only behave when the security guard hits him with ten sticks in a second.

"Hey, Xiao Xue, you're applying for day school?" The security guard, Grandpa Xu, started chatting with Xue Luding.

When Xue Dinglu came here to visit ten years ago, Grandpa Xu was a security guard at USTC. It is said that he used to be in the army, but was injured and retired, and was assigned to work as a security guard at USTC.

He knew quite a few security guards here, most of whom were retired from the military, armed police, and fire departments.

"Yeah, I used to come here every day when I was a kid, and I still come here every day now that I'm in college." Xue Dinglu joked, seemingly possessing an innate, passive charm that made him approachable to old men, as he handed a handful of sunflower seeds to the old man.

"Hey, you're welcome!"

"I'm leaving now, going to work at 8 a.m.," Xue Dinglu waved goodbye to Grandpa Xu, who was eating sunflower seeds.

Right behind Xue Dinglu, a luxury car was stopped.

"Which school are you from? We haven't registered this car here." Grandpa Xu's fierce eyes were fixed on the luxury car, as if triggering a passive reaction from his youth.

"Old man, don't block the way. I'm Ah Xin, a big internet celebrity with 50 followers. We're here to interview that new big director from your school and help you get more attention."

"I don't care who you are! What was your college entrance exam score? Anyone below 650 is not allowed to enter!" Grandpa Xu was not going to be lenient at all, and pulled out a walkie-talkie and a rubber baton.

"Brothers, there's some troublemaking around the East Gate. Which school are they from? Probably some young punks who haven't even graduated from kindergarten."

As Xue Dinglu walked away, he turned around and saw the luxury car leaving like a stray dog.

Grandpa really is your grandpa.

Old men may not be good at reasoning, but when they pull out their ten-strike sticks ready for physical punishment, you'll be able to reason with them in a peaceful manner.

At least for now, Xue Law doesn't have to worry about being surrounded by a large number of clueless reporters, paparazzi, and internet celebrities.

If it weren't for that inherently evil little devil, he probably could have lived a completely normal college student life, and secretly become a great director...

A naturally wicked little box-opening imp!
……

The first part of "The Legend of the Heavenly Kings" has only just begun to gain traction in the country.

Actually, right now, people in China know this thing is popular, but they haven't really seen it in its entirety.

However, today, with a sudden surge in memes featuring the fairy Annie transformed into an insect, the shock and contrast of this extreme beauty suddenly turning into a disgusting monster is something that people from any culture cannot escape. Perhaps this trend will go viral in a way that Xue's Law can never understand.

Just as he arrived at the classroom and opened his English (I) textbook, he suddenly discovered that the spell he had set up at his front door was reacting.

It was a white van that suddenly stopped near their home, and the procedure clearly preserved their faces and body shapes.

I turned on my phone and found that the surveillance camera had no signal.

Ha, quite cautious, huh? Electromagnetic shielding? Or some other method?
However, no matter how cautious they were, they could not interfere with the techniques of Xue Dinglu's subordinates.

He confirmed again that he didn't recognize any of the people inside. They took something out and splashed it on his doorstep, wrote the words "Pay back the money" on it, and then left.

"Found you!" Xue Dinglu revealed a smile as if he were a master planner.

He is not a demon. As it is his hometown, he will certainly abide by the law and will not kill anyone.

But you can insult me!
Xue Dinglu began to call for help. He went aboard the Tianting and said to the crew, "Does anyone want to come and see what's happening 3000 years from now? It seems like only one person can come..."

In reality, we can only refer to the behavior patterns of the undead, and have a fellow inmate possess the birdman and control him.

The moment the words were spoken, the Greek underworld erupted in commotion.

Say no more, it's Greek custom, a duel!

After English class, Xue Dinglu saw the phantom of Hercules.

Xue Law: "..."

Hercules remained silent, only relentlessly beating everyone.

Next time something like this happens, you don't need to ask everyone...

In the real world, Xue's Law attempted to manipulate the energy around him so that Hercules could appear in a manner similar to a "ghost".

It's actually more like a "stand-in" setup.

"Is this the world 3000 years from now?" A voice came from the air behind Xue Dinglu.

“Yes,” Xue Dinglu echoed Hercules’s words.

He called for backup because it was inconvenient for him to take action himself, so he called for a helper.

However, if Hercules has any wishes, he might be able to help fulfill them.

But Hercules remained silent for a long time. After an unknown period of time, he finally spoke: "How will posterity judge me in this era? How will they judge my story?"

Xue Law: "..."
