Base 03 had a total of six floors, with the structure of a pyramid. The first floor was the smallest, and the sixth floor was the largest. The total area of the base was more than 500,000 square meters, which was equivalent to the space of two 100-story buildings.
The interior design of the base was designed with the use of star armors in mind, so the interior was unusually spacious. Of course, this design also made it easy to use all kinds of large machines.
Lu Ming was currently at the Beyond One Experimental Ground on the fifth floor. All the secret biochemical experiments were conducted here. There were more than five thousand lifeforms stored on the fifth floor as experimental subjects.
All the biochemical data accumulated over the past few decades were stored separately on the fifth level of the independent photon computer. It was also equipped with two secondary optical computers to store data separately.
In order to protect the safety of the data, the second level of the base and below could not be connected to the Star Web. A physical severing was carried out.
In order to prevent accidents from happening in the biochemical experiments, the fifth floor's security was the strongest. However, this kind of security was aimed at the testing site and was mainly aimed at the inside.
The real defense against external enemies was placed in the second and third layers. Gao Zhengyang's current location was the third level.
Lu Ming could only rejoice. Due to his usual cautious habit, newly captured people would be placed on the third floor to undergo the relevant inspection and interrogation. After squeezing out all of its value, they would decide whether or not to transfer it to the fifth floor based on the specific situation.
Fortunately, he usually liked to use clones, so he was able to avoid the disaster.
Lu Ming had a lot of clones, and his favorite thing to do was to ride them to their deaths. For example, using clones to play with women. A man's energy was limited, and he could only experience physical pleasure for a few seconds.
No matter how strong a man was, he couldn't enjoy himself more than a few times a day. Since Lu Ming had a clone body, there were many ways to play with it. He could even use illegal drugs and play with women at the same time.
There were also many exciting options. For example, he could communicate with all kinds of alien life forms, human-headed beasts, beast-headed beasts, or some kind of giant octopus monster. As long as there was an opening, Lu Ming dared to try.
For this, Lu Ming lost count of how many clones had died. Of course, some ways of dying were meaningful. For example, Lu Ming had discovered that when the Hydralisks were in orgasm, they would spit out barbs. It was a very pleasurable feeling.
The mental resonator had a sensory threshold set. When pain or other sensations reached a level that caused mental damage, it would cut off the mental resonance. Lu Ming had suffered too many injuries, so his endurance in this aspect had greatly increased.
Therefore, even when Gao Zhengyang broke his limbs, he could still hold on. After getting used to using clones, one would lack respect for life. This also made Lu Ming extremely neurotic.
Since the clone body was no longer working, he could just change to another one. The base's cloning technology was very mature. If needed, a large number of clones could be created in a few days.
However, the rapidly maturing clone had no intelligence. Its intelligence level was equivalent to that of a three-month-old child. If he used the A.I. Chip to implant knowledge, it would cause many uncontrollable changes.
The body could be cloned, but not the soul. It was generally believed that clones did not have souls, so clones could not cultivate mental strength or sense Astral Power.
Although the clone body could not produce spiritual power, it would develop intelligence. As its intelligence continued to increase, the clone body would completely lose control. Humans had learned many painful lessons in this regard.
Human cloning could not promote human evolution, but it would create countless problems. It was for this reason that the Alliance strictly prohibited human cloning.
The base's mature cloning technology was also because the base's research direction was biochemical star armor.
The Biochemical Star Armor was to turn the star armor into a living being. A few hundred years after the birth of star armors, someone proposed the concept of biochemical star armors.
After the theory of the Biochemical Star Armor was put forward, scholars quickly followed up and engaged in research in this area.
Star armors required a power furnace, consumed Astral Power, precision processing, and all kinds of energy materials. The cost of creating a star armor was not cheap. It also required a complete logistics maintenance system to maintain the star armor's condition.
Moreover, the requirements for a Star Master were too high. To control a star armor, one first had to have talent in mental strength and go through systematic training. Only Bronze Star Masters could control star armors.
In theory, a biochemical star armor was equivalent to a tamed star beast that could be controlled by anyone. It was a semi-living creature that could directly absorb Astral Power and repair itself after being injured. It could reduce a lot of logistics.
Both the Alliance and the Qin Empire felt that this was the direction for the development of star armors, so they invested a lot of money and manpower.
Both sides had been working for hundreds of years and had created many models of biochemical star armors. However, none of them could be used in actual combat. On the contrary, because of the genetic modification technology of the biochemical star armor, all kinds of problems arose.
There were also two times when the biochemical star armor went out of control, causing the entire star sector to become a dead zone. The tragic lesson made the Alliance and the Qin Empire stop their research on biochemical star armor one after another.
Of course, biochemical star armor was different from human cloning. Biochemical star armor represented greater power and endless potential.
The Alliance and the Qin Empire stopped their research because they had paid a high price but gained little. Such a huge consumption was unbearable for a country.
The biochemical star armor project was classified as top secret in the Alliance. All the technical information was sealed.
The Alliance Government did not give up on biochemical star armor, so of course they would not prohibit it. However, the Alliance Government would not allow other organizations or individuals to research it privately.
In the past thousand years, the Alliance Government had restarted the biochemical star armor project several times. However, the gains were not great each time. The Alliance Government also kept reducing their investment. Now, biochemical star armor had become an unorthodox system.
As the local Star Master Families grew, the Alliance's control dropped to a low point. The major Star Master Families were unwilling to be left out, so some families began to research biochemical star armor.
Compared to human cloning, biochemical star armor was not prohibited by the Alliance law, but it was billions of times more dangerous than human cloning.
The Alliance could tolerate sneaky human cloning, but they could not tolerate organizations researching biochemical star armor privately. The nature of the two was completely different.
Simply put, human cloning was like making guns privately. It was dangerous, but the harm was limited. Biochemical star armor was equivalent to making nuclear bombs privately. It could pose a huge threat to the entire country and the entire human race.
Although the Lu family was very powerful, they could not dominate the Orion Star Zone. In the Alliance, they could barely be considered a second-rate Star Master Family. They were far from the first-rate families, and they could not compare to the top families.
Biochemical star armor was not something the Lu family could touch. However, the Lu family's fleet found the wreckage of a flying ship during an exploration in outer space.
The wreckage of the flying ship stored a large amount of biochemical star armor technology. The biochemical star armor technology was quite complete, but there were still a few technical difficulties that had not been overcome.
This stimulated the Lu family's ambition. They gathered some researchers and built Base 03 according to the information.
The Lu family also invested hundreds of billions of star coins in this project. It could be said that more than half of the family's income was thrown into this project. After working for decades, they did not overcome a single technical difficulty.
They only created a biochemical core according to the technical information.
Of course, the base had done so many experiments and made some improvements to the biochemical core. However, they were still far from overcoming the difficulties.
The biochemical star armor was simply a black hole that burned money. It was difficult to get a return no matter how much they invested. Such a large project was not something the Lu family could handle.
The leaders of the Lu family also realized this problem, and they gradually reduced their investment in the project. However, with such a large base there, it would be inexcusable if it did not operate.
Therefore, the base was still operating. The related experiments were still being carried out. However, the investment was greatly reduced, and even the leader was changed to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, had great ambitions and wanted to do great things. He had been going crazy for the past few years. Without suitable test subjects, he went around kidnapping Star Masters. Without money, he sold all kinds of contraband, including star armor.
Unfortunately, the biochemical star armor did not have any obvious progress. Only Lu Ming had an inexplicable confidence in the biochemical core, feeling that this thing would change the world.
Because of this, Lu Ming was very concerned about the biochemical core. He would rather stay here and watch the biochemical core than be the first to move.
Of course, Lu Ming also felt that he could easily eliminate Gao Zhengyang, so there was no need to move.
Through the surveillance cameras everywhere, Lu Ming could see the second and third floor Star Masters rapidly approaching Gao Zhengyang's position. As long as the surveillance cameras were there, Gao Zhengyang had nowhere to run.
On the surveillance screen, the Flying Scale Star Armor suddenly made a disdainful gesture with its thumb.
Gao Zhengyang said disdainfully, "You want to see a real fight, huh? Did you buy a ticket? Are you a member? Did you recharge? "
Lu Ming felt that Gao Zhengyang was really crazy, even more abnormal than him. He still had the heart to talk nonsense at this time. He was just about to scold him when the large screen suddenly went black, and he couldn't see anything.
Lu Ming was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He used the photon computer to adjust the screen, but no matter how he adjusted it, it was still pitch black. He couldn't see or hear anything.
Without the surveillance cameras all over the place, Lu Ming completely lost control of the scene. More importantly, the other Star Masters also lost Gao Zhengyang's position.
"Suspected to have been attacked by an unknown virus, the system is about to be repaired and restarted, estimated to be out of trouble in ten minutes. During this time, 90% of the system's functions will be interrupted, please wait patiently … "
The photon computer detected that the system was under attack, and alerted Lu Ming and other related personnel with authority.
"Motherfucker!"
Lu Ming angrily slammed the table and cursed, "Lu Xiqi, get your ass over here!"
Lu Xiqi was next door, he heard Lu Ming's angry shouts, and walked in helplessly. "Director."
"What's wrong with you? Even the photon computer system was hacked, what the hell are you doing! "
Lu Xiqi was the chief scientist of the base, and also the director of the research group, in charge of all technical projects. Since the system was in trouble, of course Lu Ming would scold Lu Xiqi.
Lu Xiqi, wearing a white coat, looked ordinary on the outside, but his calm demeanor made him seem more shrewd.
Facing the raging Lu Ming, Lu Xiqi said calmly, "The other party even brought a virus to attack the photon computer, it's obvious that they've been planning this for a long time. Director, the situation this time isn't good. I suggest we evacuate first, and prepare to destroy the experimental site. "
"How can we do that, do you know how much money was invested in the experimental site?"
Lu Ming refused without hesitation, "The Alliance doesn't dare to touch our Lu family, and Li Guorui is also a coward. Don't be afraid. A small group of people wanting to go against our Lu family, that's courting death! "
"No matter what, the other party will definitely come prepared, we still need to be prepared."
Lu Xiqi felt that things weren't so simple, but without enough information, it was hard to make an accurate judgment. Moreover, Lu Ming was right. The Lu family wasn't to be trifled with, even if Li Guorui wanted to make a move, he wouldn't be able to do it without making a sound.
"Stay here, don't run around."
Lu Ming thought for a moment, "I've activated a clone, go up and take a look."
The clone couldn't produce mental power, but it could be adjusted in many ways. For example, some of the body's organs could be enlarged. The bones and muscles could all be adjusted to their optimal state.
Compared to a normal person, Lu Ming's clone was close to superhuman in terms of strength and reflexes. With his clone's physical strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fight one against twenty.
After activating the clone, Lu Ming quickly went up the elevator to the third floor.
As soon as he came out of the elevator, Lu Ming heard the deafening sounds of battle. He ran towards the source of the sound and saw a few star armors attacking the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor.
The main reason was that the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor looked cool, and its silver scales were dazzling. According to the visual habits of humans, they would definitely be attracted by the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor.
As for the other four star armors, Lu Ming knew that they were the star masters of the base, but he didn't know any of them. He only knew a few veteran Silver Star Masters in the base. The other Junior Star Masters were not even worth his attention.
Lu Ming came at the right time, when the star armors had just met and started fighting.
Two of the four star armors of the base were silver star armors, the Holy Knight and the Flying Tiger. The other two were bronze star armors, the Battle Tiger and the Longbow.
From the looks of it, the star armors of the base were four against one, and they had a huge advantage.
Moreover, the star masters of the base were more experienced, and their positions were more reasonable. The Longbow stood at the back, the Holy Knight stood at the front, and the Flying Tiger and Battle Tiger flanked them from both sides.
However, the space was too small, and the four star armors of the base couldn't get into position. For example, the Longbow Star Armor at the back had his vision blocked by the star armor in front. There was almost no angle for him to shoot arrows.
The Longbow Star Armor could only barely float in the air, with its head against the glass ceiling of the passage. It took advantage of its height to look for opportunities to shoot arrows.
The Flying Tiger Star Armor and the War Tiger Star Armor on the two sides could not directly participate in the attack either. Because the passage was very narrow, the Holy Knight's huge cross-shaped sword almost took up all the space.
Even if the two star masters squeezed in, they would only reduce the space for the Holy Knight to fight. Not only would they not be of help, but they would also drag the Holy Knight down.
This Holy Knight was also from the army, and he had a lot of battle experience. He didn't hold back when he attacked, and he didn't have any thoughts of capturing anyone alive.
Although the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor was called a runway model, it was still a silver star armor. Moreover, it only had a weak defense. The power of the opponent's double sword was also very strong.
Fortunately, this star armor didn't have the ability to attack. Against a star armor like the Holy Knight, which had a balance of offense and defense, the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor was really a runway model.
The Holy Knight felt that he had a high chance of winning, so he took the initiative when attacking. His style was big and wide, and his cross-shaped sword slashed huge cracks on both sides of the wall.
The loud sound was actually created by the Holy Knight.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't in a hurry to finish off his opponent. He didn't know how many star masters there were in the base, so he had to control the rhythm. Rushing up and slashing at the enemy as soon as he saw them, that was something only bronze players would do.
As a top king, Gao Zhengyang wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
The modified Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor's performance was far better than the Holy Knight's, but there wasn't any difference in quality. He couldn't take a single slash from the Holy Knight.
Gao Zhengyang took seven steps back and dodged the opponent's seven slashes. The Holy Knight was also very experienced, so he didn't just attack wildly. Instead, he slowed down and prepared to use the star armor skills.
When the Holy Knight changed his rhythm, there would naturally be a gap. Gao Zhengyang already knew that the opponent was going to change his rhythm. Taking advantage of this gap, he advanced and stabbed.
The Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor had four star armor skills. Swift Lightning was a sword skill, and Flowing Light was a star armor speed skill.
Gao Zhengyang had used Flowing Light to take this step in his Star Armor. However, his activation speed was extremely fast, and he only maintained it for a short 0.1 second.
The sudden release and withdrawal allowed Gao Zhengyang to save as much spiritual energy as possible. But it was just a moment of acceleration, and it was enough. With the speed of his step forward, the star armor arrived in front of the Holy Knight.
The Holy Knight, who was just about to use the star armor skill, was shocked. He was originally going to use Charge, but he didn't have enough time to activate his shield, so he could only raise his shield to defend.
The Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor's left sword lightly blocked the round shield. When the sword and shield collided, the silver light on the sword blade shone, and Swift Lightning was activated. The slender and sharp sword blade turned into a twisted silver light and suddenly flashed.
The reason why it was a twisted silver light was because the sword blade didn't move in a straight line after stabbing and retracting. What appeared in the visual effect was a distorted silver light.
Although the Star Master who was controlling the Holy Knight noticed something was wrong, he couldn't react because of the gap in the rhythm change.
The sword blade with the star pattern gold coating was not something the Holy Knight's chest armor could block. Moreover, Gao Zhengyang also activated Swift Lightning Cut. With the help of the star power, it was even easier to break the armor.
After the sword blade pierced through the chest armor, it went through the Star Master's nose. Just the vibration of the sword blade completely destroyed the Star Master's head, killing him on the spot.
Within 0.3 seconds, the Holy Knight's Star Master was killed. The Flying Tiger Star Armor and the Battle Tiger Star Armor on the two wings finally realized that something was wrong. Both Star Masters wanted to help, so they activated their battle skills at the same time.
After Gao Zhengyang's sword succeeded, he maneuvered the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor to the Holy Knight's side. The two swords stabbed left and right, and two streaks of silver light penetrated the Battle Tiger Star Armor and the Flying Tiger Star Armor respectively.
In fact, the angle and speed of the two swords were different. But in the eyes of the Longbow Star Master, they both attacked at the same time.
The Longbow Star Master saw the blood mist spurting out from the back of the Battle Tiger Star Armor. That was the atomized state of blood under high pressure. The Star Master who was controlling the Longbow Star Armor hurriedly released the arrow.
After the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor stabbed with the two swords, it slightly tilted its body, and the arrow flew past its chest. The sword in the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor's left hand flew out at the same time and penetrated the Longbow Star Armor's chest.
The blade went straight into the handle, and the Longbow Star Armor was nailed to the wall.
In less than a second, the four Star Masters were all killed. Lu Ming, who was watching from dozens of meters away, didn't have time to react.
Lu Ming didn't have a Star Armor, and this body was a clone, so he didn't have spiritual power. He couldn't even see the huge changes that happened in such a short time, let alone analyze and understand the information.
In Lu Ming's eyes, it was just a few streaks of silver light and the Star Armor. Then, the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor appeared in front of him.
Lu Ming looked up at the Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor. The eight-meter-tall Star Armor made him feel great pressure. Gao Zhengyang's super strength made him feel even more uneasy.
Why would such a powerful Star Master come all the way to Base 03?
Lu Ming didn't care much about Gao Zhengyang at first, but now he was a little worried. The situation this time was really not simple!
"Who the hell are you?"
Lu Ming said loudly, "Whatever conditions you have, we can negotiate. Damn it …"
