When silver crystals gradually appeared on the surface of the dimensional beast's body, the speed at which the crystals spread became very fast in a short period of time. It almost covered the entire body of the dimensional beast in a very short period of time. The crystals on the dimensional beast's body would also be completely covered by the silver crystals and then devoured. In the end, the dimensional beast was completely covered by the crystals. Sharp, large crystals would emerge from the dimensional beast's body as though they had pierced through the dimensional beast's flesh and grew from the inside. However, as time passed, the entire dimensional beast turned into crystals and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
As for the infection, it was just as Dilandal had said. The infection rate was very high, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The virus's devouring ability against dimensional beasts was also quite terrifying. The virus that had already grown in a dimensional beast's body did not need to grow a second time. It would wander in space and capture a dimensional beast at the same time. It would then devour the dimensional beast's flesh and enter its body. In less than three hours, all the trapped dimensional beasts had turned into crystals.
On the surface, this virus was definitely first-class in dealing with dimensional beasts. As long as it could be spread into the dimensional beast's space, it might not take long for all the dimensional beasts to turn into the same crystal irreversible. Just like the increase in the power of gn particles after the same frequency, the virus also became faster and faster when dealing with dimensional beasts. It could completely eliminate the threat posed by dimensional beasts without any effort.
However, Xiao Ran did not dare to throw the virus into the dimensional beast's space. Dilandal did not dare to do so, Uzzes did not dare to do so. Everyone involved in the creation of this virus did not dare to do so.
Since it was a virus, it could not escape the iron law of easy mutation. As long as there was a slight change in the process of infection, it would cause the virus to mutate. Moreover, it was a virus with such a powerful devouring and multiplying ability. The natural mutation of a virus was slow, but this mutation process could be accelerated by the stimulation of external factors. This stimulation naturally referred to dimensional beasts. If the virus devoured the DNA strands that originally belonged to humans during the process of devouring dimensional beasts, it would not only be a disaster for dimensional beasts, but also for humans.
Fortunately, this was a special product created to deal with dimensional beasts. It was a fusion of many things. To humans, it was just a special cell. After modulation, it would not have any effect on anything other than dimensional beasts. It was only a virus that appeared to deal with dimensional beasts. However, no one could guarantee what this thing would become if it continued to grow and multiply without limit. Before completely confirming the reliability of this thing and before it could be controlled, it was absolutely impossible to use it on a large scale. Even now, the experiment was only carried out after suppressing the dimensional beasts to a certain number. In this experiment, Dilandal and the others had obtained a lot of first-hand information.
After the sample collection was completed, the Burning Legion directly launched a small Devourer warhead at the dimensional beasts that had turned into crystals, annihilating everything. They also cautiously left the fleet behind. Only when several warships, including the Burning Legion, left did the battle come to an end. A battle to test dimensional guidance and dimensional seal, as well as the effects of the virus, came to an end.
Now, although the effects of dimensional seal had been confirmed, the Burning Legion's focus was still on Earth. However, with the collection of battle data, the Burning Legion's focus would definitely begin to shift to Jupiter. All the battles would be limited to Jupiter to avoid causing more damage to Earth.
In fact, in the previous battles with the dimensional beasts on Earth, who knew how many mountains had been flattened, how many plains and grasslands had been destroyed. The continuous mountain range had been completely severed, and the earth had been torn apart. It had also caused a certain impact on Earth's climate and ecology. It would take a long time for Earth to recover naturally, and some things could no longer be recovered. Although the Burning Legion had a certain amount of ecological restoration technology, they did not have the time to take care of these problems. Earth simply could not withstand a battle between the Burning Legion and all the dimensional beasts.
The return of the Burning Legion did not directly jump to Earth because the entire space around Earth had been completely sealed. Xiao Ran and the others could only jump to places outside the sealed area, or even places far away from the moon's orbit. Fortunately, the Homestead Fortress had already left Earth before the seal was completed. At the very least, it would not take too long for them to converge with the Homestead Fortress. However, if they wanted to enter Earth, they had to use the normal method.
As soon as they returned to the fortress, Dilandal, Law, and the others began to get busy again. The work of analyzing the various data obtained from the battle had to be carried out immediately. They had to find out the problems and improve them. Once they were busy, they could not care about anything else. Even if Xiao Ran wanted to make the next arrangements, he had to wait for the final results from both sides to be summarized.
However, this was the case for the army, but it was completely different on Earth. Reynold first announced the good news of the space lockdown in the name of the new ruler of Luxembourg, and that dimensional beasts would no longer appear on Earth. Then, Kane announced the same news in the name of unification, immediately causing a huge wave of cheers on Earth. The entire Earth had been suppressed by the threat of dimensional beasts for too long. Now that they had received this good news, it could be said that everyone was happy, and they had gained a lot of support.
A few days later, Law and Dilandal came together to find Xiao Ran and began to report to Xiao Ran what they had gained in the past few days.
Law: "After the analysis of the data obtained last time, as well as the analysis of the operation of the dimensional seal equipment, we can now confirm that the equipment we created is completely effective, and the dimensional beasts cannot break through. We can only guide them to appear in the Jupiter Universe. I'm happy to inform you that there will no longer be any dimensional channels on Earth. If you insist on breaking through by force, it is more likely that you will wander into other worlds, or be torn to pieces by dimensional turbulence."
"In the future, the main battlefield can only be the Jupiter Universe, but there is no way to continue to guide the dimensional beasts to appear in the Jupiter Universe. After all, we have to consider whether the dimensional channels will be too dense, leading to space turbulence and dimensional chaos. At that time, if Jupiter is also involved, the danger of Earth will probably increase. But to address this problem, we can make some other arrangements in the Jupiter Universe."
"But next, we will continue to increase the strength of the dimensional seal on Earth to ensure that this matter is foolproof. These two things can be done at the same time."
"As long as there are no problems." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Then the Earth's fleet can start moving. I plan to leave the Fourth Fleet on Earth, and move the other fleets, including the Homeworld Fortress, to the Jupiter Universe."
Law nodded. "Okay."
Dilandal also said, "As for the dimensional beast virus, we still can't release it on a large scale. The growth rate of the virus is too high. The faster it grows, the higher the chance of mutation. I can't guarantee you what the consequences will be if this virus is released on a large scale, but at least one thing is foreseeable, and that is that this cell can weaken the dimensional beasts again and cause a great hindrance to them in battle. I think it is feasible to release it on a large scale."
"Since we can't be sure what the consequences will be, we have to consider the worst case scenario." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Cells, genes, and viruses are different from machines. If we don't handle it well, it might cause a huge disaster. This kind of disaster won't only affect one planet. Once it spreads, the entire universe will suffer. We can ignore this universe, but what if other worlds are left out? First, we have to find a way to completely restrain it. I don't know about this, but you can also add restrictions from the root. Limit the lifespan of this cell, the number of times it divides, and its absolute weakness."
"We don't need to use this thing to completely exterminate the dimensional beasts. As long as it can weaken them, it will be a good thing. In addition to the power of the singers, the dimensional beasts will definitely be weakened to a great extent. We can give up on some of the effects, but we have to ensure safety."
Dilandar nodded in agreement. The DG cells and Zephyr Crystal could now be fully controlled and used. Besides, the virus produced was also very safe. Even if humans came into direct contact with it, there wouldn't be any problems. However, the rate of proliferation was too fast. Therefore, the safety of the virus had to be completely controlled before it could be used as a trump card. Otherwise, once it mutated, it would become a trump card to be used against them.
"Okay." Dilandar laughed and said, "Let's do as you said. The Gene Department will work harder. The main problem is actually the dimensional beasts themselves. What we should be worried about is that the human DNA in the dimensional beasts' bodies is not completely transformed but is devoured, causing the virus to mutate. I will also try to limit the rate of proliferation."
After saying that, Dilandar looked at Law, "I guess we will need some help from your side. You can try to use nanotechnology to achieve the control effect, or simply use the DG cells and the Zifield crystal to create nanomachines that target the dimensional beasts."
Law's eyes suddenly twitched. He looked at Dilandar with a dumbfounded expression, then looked at Xiao Ran, who seemed to think that it could be done. His face was blank.
Xiao Ran felt that Dilandar's words were very feasible. In the beginning, they only targeted the dimensional beasts because of the virus that was difficult to control. It could be developed into a combination of technology and genes to create nanomachines to target the dimensional beasts. After all, it was a problem of dispersion, and nanomachines were of course easier to control.
Without waiting for Law to speak, Xiao Ran said to Law, "Dilandar is right. We can develop in this direction. Didn't the Winged Dragon God have the Moonlight Butterfly system? However, the Moonlight Butterfly targets man-made objects. It can devour and destroy inorganic objects and then transform them into organic matter. It shouldn't be too difficult to reverse the research and create a system that can target the dimensional beasts. Call Ingram, Uzzes, Bai Hechou, and all of them over and make arrangements."
Law looked at Xiao Ran and Dilandar, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You guys are really going to tire me to death."
Dilandar said seriously, "With your physique, it's probably very difficult to tire you to death."
Xiao Ran tilted his head and curled the corners of his mouth, then said to Law, "Let's do it this way. In addition, some people from the technical department will be assigned to continue the research on the dimensional beasts. Also, send people from the gene department to assist. The mass-produced semi-biological weapons are also very important to us."
"Understood, understood." Law raised his hand in surrender and said helplessly, "I'll arrange it as soon as I get back."
"Okay." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It just so happens that I was thinking about a problem some time ago. It's been a long time since the establishment of the legion, but for the entire legion, we have only sorted out the entire legion once a long time ago. But now the legion has become bigger and bigger, and all kinds of new things are emerging endlessly. Everyone's strength is also increasing. I want to sort out the legion again after this mission is over. In terms of technology, personnel, military arrangement, territory, etc., whether it's warships or airframes, we need to come up with a charter."
"Especially the warships. Although the power of our existing warships is not bad, there will be problems if we face a single S-class breakthrough. The enemies we encounter will also become stronger and stronger. There may also be more and more dimensional beasts. I hope to be able to create a new type of flagship with greater firepower, stronger defense, more cargo capacity, faster speed, and even bigger. One ship can take on many macross classes, and one ship can destroy a planet with one shot."
"In terms of weapons, we should also develop some new weapons with special effects. Miniature missiles, med bombs, Devourer warheads, and even the reaction bombs now used as conventional weapons. The macross cannon is mysterious, and its power has increased by dozens or even hundreds of times. We now have so many worlds to support us. It's time to go up."
"Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will really encounter a powerful enemy that can freely cross dimensions one day. An enemy that can destroy the universe as easily as crushing an ant. I'm afraid we won't have any ability to resist now."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment and said, "For example, the Demon God Caesar with the power of the seven Demon Gods, the Geta Emperor with the ultimate evolution of Geta … and even Prometheus himself. It's time to prepare now."
