#635 - Chapter 635: Use My Spear to Attack My Shield
"It doesn't... it doesn't matter. As long as he can get better, nothing else matters," Niu Xingwang replied, his voice filled with sorrow.
Such is the heart of a parent; as long as their child is well, nothing else matters.
"Alright. Get ready, I'll let you know when we're leaving," Dongfang Chen replied.
Actually, gene therapy for Niu Mingxuan could also be done at the underground base in Bartow.
It's just that the gene repair technology is a bit sensitive.
Firstly, the technology itself is anti-human and anti-biological. Uninformed people might use this as an excuse to gather and cause trouble.
Although Dongfang Chen isn't afraid of anyone causing trouble, there's no need to create problems for himself.
Secondly, the era-defining nature of this technology. Theoretically, once gene technology is completely cracked, any disease can be cured.
In other words, humanity can be considered to have entered an era of immortality.
The diseases and aging of the human body are essentially gene problems.
Therefore, the process of gene repair can allow a person to forever maintain their physical peak.
Imagine if a person knew they could return to 18 years old, and as long as they have regular repairs, they could stay 18 forever. What would they do?
They would spare no expense to obtain this gene repair opportunity.
So, once the news gets out, who knows how many people will make a fuss about it, openly and secretly.
Thirdly, there's the risk of alerting the enemy.
If the remaining members of Sirius learn that humans have mastered gene repair technology, they will definitely increase their efforts to sabotage, and may even resort to various extreme measures.
Now is not the time to expose it.
Therefore, considering all factors, it's safest to bring Niu Mingxuan to a closed base for treatment.
Niu Xingwang personally escorted the warship to the Lop Nur base, reluctantly watching the sealed treatment pod containing Niu Mingxuan leave the warship.
"Son! Get well soon!" Niu Xingwang wiped his tears with his sleeve and turned to leave.
He hadn't told his wife, Liu Cuiqin, about this yet, thinking he'd wait until after the treatment was completely successful.
It's better for one person to worry than for two people to be anxious at the same time.
This was just a small interlude.
February 22, 2057 AD.
Unusual activity was detected at a shielded base in China.
"Commander, Gu Qingyi has just issued an order to gather warships from various bases in the central Inner Mongolia province, preparing to launch an attack on the main Bartow base tomorrow morning."
"Quite the appetite. Planning to use my spear against my shield?" Dongfang Chen smiled contemptuously.
"Issue instructions to all bases, requiring each warship to have a dedicated micro-queen bee monitoring the warship's condition at all times. Their only task is to immediately eliminate any silicon-based lifeforms they detect."
"Yes, Commander."
Now that the base's communication has been restored, the queen bees in each base can be controlled.
And since the warships are still in the base, the queen bees have the opportunity to implant micro-queen bees onto the warships.
Their mission is set to activate upon implantation.
In other words, regardless of whether the warship's signal is shielded, the implanted micro-queen bees can immediately eliminate any silicon-based microorganisms they detect.
This is equivalent to setting up a firewall in the warship in advance. Any silicon-based lifeform attempting to interfere with the communication equipment will be immediately eliminated.
As long as the silicon-based lifeforms are eliminated, the warship's communication will not be shielded.
In this way, these warships will not be out of control.
As long as the warships are still under control, no matter how Gu Qingyi tries to put on a show, she won't be able to pull it off.
In other words, Dongfang Chen will only let her perform if he wants her to. If he doesn't want her to, she won't be able to perform even if she wants to.
After all, these warships are his property, and it would be a shame to damage them.
So, Dongfang Chen's idea is, let them run around if they want to. As long as they can't break through the base, they won't have any way to succeed.
Of course, things have to be done discreetly. He doesn't want to prematurely reveal the fact that he can monitor the base.
The next morning, around 6 a.m., the various bases began to move.
Gu Qingyi's request wasn't high; each base only needed to send one warship.
Even so, nearly 300 bases could gather nearly 300 warships.
This formation was quite explosive.
There were people on the warships specifically responsible for jamming signals.
Everyone thought that Dongfang Chen wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
So Dongfang Chen also pretended to be completely unaware, in order to cooperate with their performance.
Around 9 a.m., the warships finished gathering.
Gu Qingyi didn't come in person.
The Huaguo government currently has no control, and the high-level members of the council are hiding in the Kyoto base, completely unaware.
At ten o'clock, the warships began to depart, heading north to attack the Ulan Neutral Zone.
They proceeded smoothly all the way, arriving over Bartow two hours later.
"Commander, Gu Qingyi is requesting a call," Xiaolin reported.
"Connect it!"
"Dongfang Chen, didn't expect this, did you? The weapon you built with your own hands will ultimately deliver a fatal blow to yourself," Gu Qingyi said sarcastically.
