Monster clones from all over the world - Chapter 63 Von Neumann Machine
The steelmaking plant is filled with huge black pipes. These pipes are constantly squirming to transport the iron ore stored on one side to the steelmaking furnace. The molten iron produced in the steelmaking furnace is put into various molds.
All the machines in the steel factory are controlled by the protoplasm of the Shoggoth, and the entire factory can run normally even without a single person, because the Shoggoth itself is a factory.
“This is……”
The people in the investigation team opened their mouths and didn’t know how to describe it. The scene in front of them was like a factory in hell, and the weird scene shocked everyone’s heart.
The footage captured by the team was also transmitted to the temporary research base outside. People outside were speechless when they saw this footage.
“Should we move forward now, or should we just blow up this place?”
The team members were eager to try. They brought various weapons. It would be very simple to blow up the place with bombs.
“No.” The captain frowned. Although he wanted to destroy this place, he didn’t dare to act rashly without an order from outside. This was no small matter.
He paused and said, “We follow the orders from outside.”
Not long after, their communicator responded.
“The entire investigation team will return immediately and await further instructions.”
The order was given from outside. Although the whole team was a little reluctant, they still obeyed the order and slowly evacuated outside.
In the temporary research institute outside the steel plant, the general and a group of researchers were discussing the next countermeasures.
They knew what happened inside the steel plant from the footage transmitted by the investigation team.
…
On the other side, a researcher used a microscope to observe the remaining protoplasm of Suellen on the ground.
The protoplasm is constantly dividing under the microscope. As long as there are nutrients, it can continue dividing indefinitely without any restrictions.
This kind of thing does not exist in nature, and these protoplasms possess intelligence, and researchers quickly understood what this meant.
Cold sweat breaks out on his forehead. These protoplasms are the Transformers of the biological world, which can form the appearance of any living thing from the cellular level.
Combined with the images transmitted back by the investigation team, he quickly understood why Su Lun did this.
He immediately rushed to the command room, feeling more and more shocked as he thought about it.
Inside the headquarters, researchers said anxiously: “It is likely that a von Neumann machine occupied the steel plant!”
He was very shocked when he came to this conclusion. The von Neumann machine is something that only exists in science fiction works.
“What is a von Neumann machine? Tell me clearly.” the general asked.
They haven’t decided yet on how to deal with Su Lun. Su Lun has only occupied the factory. They are still discussing whether to destroy the factory or study it.
The researcher took a deep breath to calm down, and explained in detail: “The von Neumann machine is a machine that can replicate itself. It usually appears in science fiction works and is a machine used by alien beings to transform the planet.”
“The thing occupying the factory in front is a standard von Neumann machine, which can reproduce itself and produce, and also has the ability to transform the earth.”
Everyone in the command room was lost in thought. If there was really a von Neumann machine in front of them, it would be effortless to destroy the earth when the von Neumann machine grows up.
While they were thinking, good news came from the other side. Someone found Su Lun’s location along the underground cave that Su Lun drilled.
“We found the monster that was at the recycling bin!”
Someone quickly marked Su Lun’s location, and a huge red dot appeared below the steel plant.
The researcher’s conjecture about the von Neumann machine just now was also verified by other researchers. They unanimously determined that the monster occupying the steel plant was a machine that continuously replicated itself.
Not long after, two fighter jets flew over the steel plant. These fighter jets were equipped with the most advanced ground-penetrating bombs and could attack underground targets.
The steel mill whose ground was covered with germ carpet was not their target. Their target was Suellen underground.
Most of Sullun’s protoplasm is underground. They don’t know what the relationship between the culture blanket in the steel mill and Sullun underground is, so they only target Sullun. Instead, the steelmaking plant on the ground full of fungi is reserved for research purposes.
With two “click” sounds, the ground-penetrating bombs were launched from the aircraft. The targets of the two ground-penetrating bombs were Su Lun underground.
The speed of the ground-penetrating bomb is very fast, and there is nothing to intercept the missile. The ground-penetrating bomb quickly penetrates into the soil.
After the muffled sounds caused by the two explosions, people on the surface only felt some vibrations on the ground.
Everyone in the Xinguo command room held their breath, hoping that this attack would be successful.
According to the power of the ground-penetrating missile, it can indeed blow up Sullun to pieces, but Sullun is not an ordinary creature, but a Shoggoth.
“The steelworks… the steelworks are moving!”
Some people looked at the situation ahead in surprise. The entire steelmaking plant was squirming like a living thing. Both the buildings and the machines inside were moving.
The general couldn’t help but ask: “What’s going on?”
This was not what he expected. He expected that the monsters would be eliminated.
Su Lun took advantage of their discussion and the entire steelmaking plant became a part of him.
Moreover, his protoplasm is originally liquid. Even if he is hit by a missile, some of the protoplasm will only evaporate, and Su Lun can quickly replace it.
Su Lun thought in his mind: “Human weapons have no effect on me. Sure enough, the movies are all lies.”
In the movie, humans chase and fight monsters, but when monsters actually appear, human weapons are a bit inadequate.
The speed of missile bombing is not as fast as his splitting speed. Even if humans bombard all the missiles on him, he can still grow back.
Blood rebirth is very suitable for Shoggoth. As long as there is a drop of protoplasm, he can be resurrected.
Su Lun once again transformed into an earth-drilling machine and drilled out of the surface, combined with the steel plant, and transformed into an even larger creature.
Everyone near the steelmaking plant was dumbfounded by this scene, and the tens of thousands square meters of factory moved like living creatures.
Countless black protoplasms were moving within it. Except for those useless cement buildings, all the steel and machinery were dismantled by Su Lun and installed on himself.
Selun now revealed the Shoggoth’s true form, a hybrid of machine and protoplasm.
Like a weird monster from ancient times, dark tar-like liquid is constantly flowing on the body, and the machinery and metal are covered with pustules. The pustules should have been on the carbon-based creature, but they strangely appeared on the steel.
At the center of the monster is red molten iron. The molten iron flows through the monster’s body like blood. The red light of the molten iron shines through the black protoplasm, giving off a confusing brilliance.
There is a question in everyone’s mind, “Can humans really defeat this monster?”
