Chapter 52 How was the Parasite Radar trained?
GOC Japan Branch Underground Base
The ground is paved with industrial explosion-proof floor tiles with automatic charging function, which produce a steady echo when you step on them.
The dozing doorman was no longer seen in the corridor; instead, special agents, fully armed and armed with TaC rifles, patrolled the area.
And occasionally, logistics pipeline robots used to transport goods glide overhead.
And in the very core of the manager's office.
Pei Qi sat behind the desk made of obsidian and end candles, holding a cup of espresso fresh from the [Cooking Mod] coffee machine with the "Urgency II" buff, and listened quietly to the report from the man in front of him.
Standing opposite him was still Arima Kishou, wearing a gray-white trench coat and carrying an IXA briefcase.
But the intense killing over the past two weeks seems to have left no trace of fatigue on this "White Death".
On the contrary, after Pei Qi treated him with the Golden Apple and the Regeneration Potion, Arima's face, which was originally pale due to premature aging of a half-human, now had a healthy rosy glow.
Even the glaucoma eye, which originally had blurred vision, became increasingly sharp.
"Supervisor, this is a summary report of this week's operations."
Arima Kishou did not open the folder in his hand; the data was already etched into his mind.
His voice was steady and precise, like a supercomputer reading a log.
"As of 06:00 this morning, under your tactical deployment, the GOC Special Operations Team has completed a full scan and cleanup of the core area of the Tokyo metropolitan area, including Setagaya, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Minato Ward."
Arima pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing across the lenses:
"Thanks to the newly deployed 'Wide Area Brainwave Spectrum Scanner,' the parasites' proud disguise is rendered useless in our sight."
"The results are as follows:"
"Confirmed kill count: 452 parasites".
"Live specimens captured (mainly for scientific research and energy extraction): 28."
"Medium-sized strongholds destroyed: 4".
"Our casualties: 0 deaths, 3 minor injuries, all due to training accidents caused by improper operation."
Arima paused, then continued:
"Currently, the parasite density in Tokyo has dropped to below 0.01%. Most of the surviving individuals have fled to remote mountainous areas such as Chiba and Saitama."
It can be said that, on a physical level, we have completed the "absolute purification" of Tokyo.
Pei Qi gently blew away the foam on the coffee and nodded in satisfaction.
"What about the government? Have they caused any trouble because the commotion was too big?"
"No, supervisor."
Arima's lips curled into a very rare, faint, mocking smile.
"On the contrary, those politicians are more...compliant than we imagine."
"As per your instructions, we selectively leaked some of the top-secret videos about the parasites' 'cannibalism' and 'infiltration of high-level officials' to the Cabinet Intelligence Office."
"The Japanese government is now in a state of panic. They are so terrified that they can't even sleep after watching their familiar colleagues suddenly being dragged out and blown to pieces, their corpses turned into monsters."
"Just yesterday, the Vice Minister of Defense personally made an encrypted call, pleading with the GOC to expand the scanning scope, and promising that all operational expenses would be fully reimbursed by the Japanese treasury, and that they would personally give the green light for all operations."
"very good."
Pei Qi put down his coffee cup, the porcelain cup clinking against the obsidian tabletop with a crisp sound.
"Fear is the best foundation for establishing order. Since they are willing to give us money and power, we're happy to make things easy for them too."
At this moment, in the automated R&D workshop on the third basement floor.
The place was brightly lit, and hundreds of robotic arms were methodically assembling palm-sized black instruments, driven by the [Mechanical Power] conveyor belt.
That is the wide-area brainwave spectrum scanner that Arima Kishou praised highly and that the entire Japanese government regarded as a savior.
Who would have thought that just half a month ago, this thing was just a "conceptual model" that Pei Qi used to fool Izumi Shinichi?
As a man with a "MC tech tree," Pei Qi deeply understands one principle:
"As long as I don't talk about science, science can't bind me."
After collecting enough live parasite samples, Pei Qi directly brought out the Hidden Senses from the Minecraft 1.19 update.
This thing can detect vibrations, and after being calibrated with amethyst fragments, it can accurately capture the unique biological wave frequencies of parasitic beast cells.
The initial prototype was a piece of dark blue lurking moss that was still wriggling, with a few redstone torches stuck in it.
Imagine if a GOC agent walked down the street carrying this sticky, wriggling moss that looks even more monstrous than the parasite. Before they could even scan for the parasite, the agent would probably be arrested by passersby.
Therefore, Pei Qi carried out a brilliant "modified packaging".
He ordered the logistics department to purchase a batch of stockpiled plastic casings for "military handheld terminals" from Sony, and also acquired a bunch of scrapped "Geiger counters".
Pei Qi first disassembled and hollowed out the PDA's internal circuitry, leaving only the outer casing and display screen. However, the display screen was actually useless and was replaced with a redstone lamp.
Next comes inserting the core, which involves stuffing the compressed miniature stealth sensor into the plastic shell.
3. Finally, connect the signal by connecting the sensor and the LED indicator on the housing with redstone dust.
To make it look more high-tech, Pei Qi went so far as to stuff in a musical note box, set to a high-frequency "beep beep" sound.
In this way, a black handheld device with a precise, rugged appearance and full of modern industrial aesthetics was born.
But the real miracle happened the moment he put the "stitched-together" back on the system workbench.
Pei Qi was initially worried that these crudely made products, with "plastic shells on the outside and magical moss on the inside," would not be recognized by the MC system and would have to be assembled by hand, which would be too inefficient.
However, when he placed the finished product in the output slot of the 3x3 composition bar.
[Item Name: GOC Standard Bio-Rad]
[Crafting Recipe: Plastic Shell x1 + Hide Detector x1 + Redstone Dust x2 + Amethyst Shard x1]
Although the system cannot understand the "plastic shell", it determines that the "shell" is a "container", just like putting water into a glass bottle to make a water bottle.
As long as the logic is sound, everything can be synthesized!
At this moment, productivity was completely unleashed.
Now that we have the recipe, we don't need any manpower.
Pei Qi directly activated the "Automatic Cyclic Assembly Machine" in the [Thermal Expansion] menu.
Simply pour boxes of plastic shells bought from Sony into the input funnel, and then pour in the hidden blocks and redstone mined from the Minecraft world.
The machines roared and blue lights flashed.
In less than a second, a brand-new, well-made "bio-radar" that looked like it was full of cutting-edge technology was ejected from the conveyor belt.
This is the myth of mass production on industrial assembly lines.
Its cost is outrageously low; the outer shell is made from wholesale industrial waste, and the core is mud dug from another world.
However, on the Japanese government's procurement list, Pei Qi marked the unit price of this instrument at a sky-high price of 500 million yen, and it was still in short supply.
"Exorbitant profits...this is the real arms business."
Looking at the endless stream of machines coming off the conveyor belt, Pei Qi was filled with emotion.
No chip lithography machine is needed, and top-notch engineers are not required.
As long as there is a workbench and a recipe, the entire global industrial system must give way to the rules of Minecraft.
Simple. Brutal. Efficient.
"Is this what they call... 'using magic to defeat biology, then packaging magic with industry'?"
