228 – defense system
A secret facility of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea located in Yasan, outside Seoul.
Since the power of the military has been strengthened, there have been many secret cases that have doubled here..
Even at this moment, secret elements that could never be disclosed to the outside world were under strict protection within the impenetrable boundary.
and..
An underground laboratory where the most important of these secrets are asleep.
There… even at this moment, an important classified experiment was being carried out.
“Kreurreung… ”
A wild Abyss captured from outside.
With a small bomb installed in its heart in case of emergency, it was showing fierce hostility without knowing that those around it were already holding its leash.
But..
At this moment, the thing that catches the eyes of the Abyss’ sparkling red eyes the most.
It was… a small black orb placed in front of its eyes.
A sphere the size of the palm of your hand, and nothing special about it.
Staring at it, the black abyss showed its sharp teeth and maintained its momentum to run at it.
and after a while
While watching the Abyss, the researcher who was controlling the situation spoke in a calm voice.
“Let’s proceed.”
“yes.”
A researcher who follows the instructions and presses the button.
OK..
“Kyaaagh!!!”
-Chunk!-
The next moment, Abyss rushes towards the black sphere with terrifying momentum.
In the meantime, it was blocked by a solid barricade, but nevertheless, the guy was reacting violently to the momentary and unknown change of situation, as if he had faced the enemy of his life.
and..
Watching this,
As a ‘guest’ invited here today, I couldn’t hide my surprise.
“What the hell is this… what is that black sphere?”
“That is the result of the body that Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun left behind the other day.”
“I handed it over? what is that…”
A story I don’t know exactly…
No, to be more specific, a researcher who tells a story he doesn’t want to pretend to know.
Regarding this, Lieutenant General Jeong Gong-heo, who was standing next to me, spoke in a calm voice.
“The other day, I worked on the Hamheung front line. Do you remember? About the humanoid Abyss that gave them control or fierce hostility.”
“Ah.. yes, I remember.. It happened.”
Although Talos, who is the person involved, is not present here, Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo tells a story that inevitably makes me feel quite stabbed.
However, I don’t know if he knows the details of this or not, but he continued his explanation without saying anything more about this.
“As a result of examining the sample obtained at the time, the research team was able to find out a few things. From the principle of abnormal regenerative ability to the way of manipulating the surrounding Abyss, etc.. Although most of them turned out to be impossible to actually implement with the current technology of the Republic of Korea… At least one thing, with our current technology. I have found one tool that I can fully exploit.”
“I don’t think that means…”
I express a little surprising emotion through the meaning contained in it.
Regarding this, Lieutenant General Jeong Gong-heo slowly nodded his head and expressed his affirmation.
“Yes, that is the one you are looking at right now.”
Abyss is going wild with the momentum to break the iron bars at any moment.
It felt quite different from a simple frenzy, and I was automatically able to think of a scene while watching it.
In the past, the scene where she used the Abyss to destroy Talos and the Abyss she led.
“Generally, Abyss do not attack each other. However, for some reason, the other Abyss who faced the army led by the humanoid Abyss either assimilated into the group or showed fierce hostility against the same Abyss.”
“That’s right… Also, those who are in a frenzy couldn’t be assimilated no matter what they did.”
“Yes, it is. Therefore, the military has been conducting research to understand the principle and use it. After examining a sample of the problem, I was able to figure out what the answer was.”
“What is it?”
Regarding my question, Lieutenant General Jeong Gong-heo glanced at the researcher standing next to him.
The researcher next to him nodded and continued his explanation.
“Yes, as a result of disassembling and analyzing the sample in the meantime, we were able to find out that a weak electronic signal was generated from his body. A signal that shows a wave with a feeling quite different from the frequency that mankind has been using so far. So, based on this point, we came up with a theory that maybe it was through this frequency that he could control other Abyss, and we did some experiments accordingly.”
“Hmm.. That means that the Abyss were controlled by the special pattern of electronic signals it emitted.. Does that mean?”
“Yes, it is. Unfortunately, however, we failed to implement an electronic signal capable of controlling the Abyss with our abilities. If I had been able to get a little more body, I would have been able to try a little more research. Unfortunately, the dragon head sample itself that was handed over to us was not very generous..”
“Ummm..”
Feeling stabbed once again by the researcher’s words, I affirmed his words as quietly as possible for now, and the researcher continued talking while watching my attitude.
“However, even though I couldn’t find an electronic signal that could control it, as you can see, I was able to generate a signal that triggers their aggression. To be precise, it is presumed to be some kind of defense.”
“A defense?”
“Yes, it is. Although it is not an exact hypothesis, it is believed that the humanoid Abyss, or the unknown entity controlling the Abyss, probably used this electronic signal to issue commands, and to have a contingency plan in case this was known to someone else. To be fiercely hostile to the one who gave the order.”
“ah..”
through those words. I now have a better understanding of what this situation is.
In general, as a way for companies and countries to protect the information in their data, they are not satisfied with simply putting up barriers.
In order to catch the perpetrators of the attack, or at least to prevent subsequent attacks, they would use the tactic of backtracking the perpetrators of the hacking attempts or incapacitating them by sending counter-attacks.
And, the current Abyss’ means of transmitting commands seemed to be operating in a similar way, so it could be said that the Abyss that was rampaging right in front of their eyes was running wild to attack the enemy who tried to ‘hack’ them.
“I don’t know who it is… but the guy who’s controlling this Abyss seems to know how to use his brain quite a bit.”
“In order to prepare for an emergency, you can see that we have put in place a safety device. And, perhaps, in the case of the humanoid Abyss from before, I knew the frequency to give commands, but for some reason, it is presumed that some Abyss rather sent hostility because it entered unstable.”
“In addition, in a frenzy state, unstable signals are transmitted in a distorted form, further strengthening aggression.. You can see it that way.”
“Yes, we are seeing it that way as well.”
As I listened to the overall situation, I nodded slowly,
Then, looking at me like that, Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo asked in a serious voice.
“How is it? At this rate, if done well, I think the operation that Adjutant Lee Jin-hyeon had conceived in advance will be able to succeed.”
“… exactly. It looks like there is a possibility. Of course, you will have to conduct the experiment I asked you to do before that.”
“Of course, permission has already been given for that part.”
Appropriate means and weapons.
And the conditions have been prepared.
In this regard, I was able to get the idea that maybe this time I could really put an end to everything.
“All right. If not, let’s get started right away.”
