Bio-armor

Where there is joy, there is sorrow.

Compared to Alvin, who "got something for nothing" and received two spaceships for no reason, Viggo was in a terrible mood.

Although on his way back to "Paradise Star", he had a vague idea that something big might have happened on his home planet.

But, to his utter surprise, the situation was far worse than he had imagined!

The surviving engineers on Paradise Star seem to have suffered a devastating blow to their technology, regressing directly to an agrarian civilization.

No, describing them as an agrarian Paradise Star seems a bit too optimistic.

To put it bluntly, aside from their long lifespans, the remaining inhabitants of Paradise Star are now almost back to the "tribal era"!

"What exactly happened?"

Vicks couldn't believe her eyes and repeatedly checked the World Master's report.

He's only been dormant for two thousand years, how did the once technologically advanced Paradise Star fall to such a state?

But soon, after reviewing the mothership's logbook and gradually learning the details, Viggo, upon learning the truth, felt utterly exhausted, his pupils dilated several times over, and he slumped into the cockpit.

Alvin glanced at Viggo, who looked utterly dejected.

In human terms, perhaps the greatest sorrow is a broken heart?

The film doesn't describe in detail the specific reasons for the decline of the engineer class, so he doesn't know what happened.

However, judging from subtle clues, the engineers are very likely to have split into two factions.

One school of thought advocates creation mythology, which posits that at the beginning of the film, the protagonist intentionally drinks the Black Goo, jumps into Earth's mountain streams and rivers, and uses his own DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online) to combine with the Black Goo, thereby creating life.

The other faction, advocating destruction, consists of Viggo "Space Jockey," who are on their way to Earth to release the Black Goo. However, the Black Goo leaks en route, forcing them to hibernate at LV-233.

The culprit behind the decline of technology on Paradise Star is most likely the "Destructionists".

"My dear friend, if you don't mind, could you tell me what happened?" Alvin's tone was gentle, and he took the initiative to express his sincerity. "If your home planet is facing any difficulties, I am willing to provide you with the necessary assistance within my power."

"I'm sorry, I probably can't keep my promise."

Viggo's face was bitter, his fists clenched in pain, and his expression even looked somewhat ferocious. "After I entered hibernation, Elder Sartos, the leader of the Destruction Faction, decided to lead a portion of his people to explore beyond the Milky Way, hoping to find a solution to the problem of reproduction."

"And then, those who weren't willing to go were abandoned?" Alvin had already roughly guessed what was to come.

"That's right, Sartos abandoned the vast majority of his people and led a fleet of elites to beyond the Milky Way."

Viggo closed his eyes in anguish, his hoarse, low voice filled with resentment. "For this expedition, Sartos took away all of Paradise Star's elite, leaving only the most ordinary citizens. Paradise Star is now completely devastated, including all the warships, information storage rooms, and everything else."

When he said this, Viggo was extremely depressed.

When extreme sorrow meets extreme anger, the result is not hysteria, but silence.

Like Viggo, he was plunged into an abyss, remaining completely silent.

Looking at Viggo, whose mentality had completely collapsed, Alvin frowned. This couldn't go on.

Viggo was his handpicked chief biologist, and this important piece was indispensable in the envisioned Bioroid Xenomorph Legion of the future.

I understand how you feel, but you have to pull yourself together.

Alvin could only resort to the same manipulative tactics he used in his past life to comfort the dejected Viggo: "Even if you want to give up, think about your people on Paradise Star. How can you bear to abandon them?"

Viggo blinked, somewhat bewildered. "What you said seems to make some sense."

So you need to cheer up and work even harder!

Alvin adopted a serious expression and said, "You should lead the remaining people of your people to restore the glory of the Engineers, and show the traitors, Satoru and his ilk, who truly inherits the will of 'Deacon.' So, you bear a heavy burden, Viggo."

A passionate speech immediately rekindled Viggo's hope.

"You're right, my friend!"

Viggo gripped Alvin's hand excitedly, his eyes gleaming. "I must prove to Satorth who the true descendants of 'Deacon' are! They are nothing but a bunch of cowards who abandoned their people! I must lead my people and restore the glory of the Engineers!"

"Great, very energetic!"

Alvin didn't forget to encourage him. "Remember, you are the one who carries the blood of 'Deacon,' the hero who saved your people."

A few words were enough to energize Viggo, making him feel incredibly excited.

He had even begun to imagine himself leading his people to restore the glory of the Engineers and be etched in history!

What an honor!

"As a friend, I am willing to provide you with the necessary support to the best of my ability."

Alvin pressed his advantage, his face beaming with a sense of duty, but his words betrayed Weyland without reservation. "If needed, contact Weyland in my name."

"Thank you so much, friend!"

Viggo was so moved he almost cried, and he held Alvin's hand tightly.

"Of course, aren't we friends?"

Alvin deliberately emphasized the word "friends," smiling warmly and enthusiastically, "Since we're friends, of course we should help each other, shouldn't we?"

Looking at such a generous "friend," Viggo felt a deep sense of shame for his past wariness.

Suddenly, when he saw the somewhat damaged armor on Alvin's body, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately made a few adjustments to the controls in the cockpit.

A massive holographic image unfolds, a map of the surface of Paradise Star.

However, there was one location that Viggo specifically highlighted: a massive, temple-like building with an engineer's touch.

However, due to its age, the entire temple was almost completely covered by vines, and it would have been difficult to discover if it weren't for the holographic image of the World Master.

"Found it, the First Temple!"

Viggo was so excited he was incoherent, even shedding tears. "As expected, Sargus didn't take it!"

After saying that, he explained to Alvin what the so-called "First Temple" was.

This is a temple that engineers cultivated and built specifically during the pinnacle of their civilization, for the purpose of storing information.

"Oh? Does that mean it contains all of the engineers' technology?" Alvin's eyes lit up as he suddenly had a bold idea.

However, Viggo shattered his illusions, shaking his head and saying, "There were originally thousands of similar temples. This temple stores information about Bio-armor. With this data and equipment, I can customize a Bio-armor for you."

The Bio-armor of the Engineers is different from the concept of mechanical armor.

The Bio-armor acts like a second skin, perfectly fitting the wearer and providing comprehensive enhancements.

While it may not be as flashy as mechanical armor in terms of expandability, it far surpasses mechanical armor in terms of safety, comfort, and versatility.

"Okay, then I really need to thank you, Viggo."

Adhering to the principle of welcoming all who come, Alvin smiled and generously accepted Viggo's offer.

It's almost the end of the month, so I'd like to ask for some monthly votes.
