Chapter 70: The Abilities of the Tail-Standing Rat
When You Huan regained consciousness, he found himself curled up in a warm environment with a rope-like object wrapped around his body - the umbilical cord.
This made him feel a little relieved.
It seems that he did not become the "pregnant" Rat in the movie who was pregnant and knocked over two mechas.
Instead, it became its cub.
In the movie, the Rattus rattus was killed by the mecha "Dangerous Wanderer" before it could give birth to its cubs.
Although the cub successfully came into the world, its umbilical cord was entangled around its neck and it was not adapted to the air of Blue Star, so it died not long after.
Just when he was sure that he had avoided the embarrassing situation of becoming a pregnant woman, he suddenly became dazed.
In an instant, he seemed no longer to be alone, but to have become a "group".
Many hazy thoughts are connected to him!
The monsters in "Pacific Rim" are created by an alien called "Pioneer". They have hive consciousness and are connected to each other!
He immediately gathered all his thoughts and began to imagine himself as an innocent, confused, unborn cub.
In the ocean of consciousness, the other monsters did not realize that something was wrong with him.
A constantly changing picture was suddenly shared with You Huan.
He "saw" the brightly lit cities of human beings, and the nearly 100-meter-tall "Hunter Mech" (Jaeger) used to fight monsters standing quietly in the factory.
He "heard" the bustling noise coming from the human world.
All kinds of information flowed through his mind, giving a messy picture of the manufacturing principles and weapons and equipment of some hunter mechas.
After flowing through once, these information paused for a moment and then played again from the beginning in this collective consciousness network.
It was like the news that was always playing on loop in the community's public hall.
You Huan, who has seen the movie, knows that this information about the human world comes from a human named "Newton".
Newton is a PhD in biology.
After studying the monsters that suddenly invaded the Blue Planet, he imitated the docking technology between humans and mechas and established a consciousness link with the brain of a monster.
As a result, he saw a lot of information about the monsters, and even "saw" the reason why monsters (Kaiju) appeared in this world.
But the connection of consciousness is two-way. He learned the information of the monsters, and the monsters also got some information about the human world from his brain!
Some monsters that appear in the movie, including the tail rat, are monsters specially made to target mechas based on the mecha information obtained from Newton.
Putting aside the information about the human world, You Huan carefully tried to break away from the collective consciousness.
After some attempts, he found that it was currently impossible to completely break away from the collective consciousness network.
But the monster with two brains has strong control over its own thoughts.
Coupled with human beings' high intelligence and subjective initiative.
He "separated" consciousness and divided thinking into a part that was connected to the collective consciousness and a part that was detached from the collective consciousness.
Now, he can think about various things freely without fear of being discovered, while "peeking" into the collective consciousness.
Normal monsters, whose minds are edited by their creators, would never have the idea of "blocking collective consciousness".
But of course his consciousness was unfettered and could do this.
He looked at the collective consciousness for a while and found that the thinking of these monsters was really simple.
In the absence of fighting, these monsters linked in consciousness are extremely quiet.
The thoughts that are occasionally conveyed are either "sleepy" or thinking about how to deal with human mechas.
As for the creator of the monster, the alien creature "Pioneer", he is not in this monster network.
The collective consciousness was bored, so he turned his attention to himself.
He looked at the space card, which was filled with pieces of meat except for the space for the "artifact", and fell into deep thought.
The monsters in the Pacific Rim world don't seem to be carbon-based creatures.
And he was an unborn fetus.
So can he digest these carbon-based chunks of meat?
If you think about it more carefully, although it is not a carbon-based creature, the way the monster gives birth to offspring is very similar to that of carbon-based mammals, and it even has an umbilical cord...
Tsk, this is the logic of the movie. It can't be said to be too bad, but it can't be said to be rigorous either.
He took out a tiny piece of meat from the space card, which was from a wolf beast, and put it into the still tender mouth.
Mmm...digestible!
It seems that the digestive organs of this body are fully developed and can digest carbon-based organisms.
So he took out more pieces of meat and started his "ripening" plan.
If he had waited for the moment of his birth in the movie plot, he would have had to crawl out of his dead mother's body and out of a human city.
Let's not talk about the issue that we are already halfway through Pacific Rim 1.
Being born inside a human city is too dangerous for a monster cub.
As small pieces of meat were thrown into his mouth, they were quickly digested, and a prompt came on the panel:
[Evolution Point +1]
[Evolution Point +1]
But You Huan did not see the information panel of the monster card.
Could it be that he had not yet fully developed?
He continued to eat, stopping when he was full and then continuing to eat after a while.
[Evolution Point +1]
[...]
This went on for who knows how long.
He got 5 evolution points, and even without upgrading, the nutritious food accelerated his growth.
The monster card's information finally appeared on the panel.
[Race: Tailed Rat (Monster Weapon)]
[Stage: Childhood]
[Talents: Acid, Toxic Radiation, Flight Airbags, Claws and Tail, Neural Detection, Electrical Perception, Dual Brains, Consciousness Link (Talents are not fully developed)]
[Skills: None]
[Level: Lv.1 (0/10)]
[Evolution Points: 5]
[Strength Points: 0]
This panel... You Huan was stunned.
What about skills? Where is my huge skill module?
Why is there only one tragic word "nothing"?
He carefully read the panel again, focusing on the talent panel that looked unlike a normal creature, and came to the conclusion:
Although the Tail-Standing Rat has many powerful abilities, such as being able to spit strong acid, having two brains, and having a collective consciousness...
But these abilities are all within the normal range for the monster weapons made by the pioneers, and there is nothing extraordinary about them.
For example, the tail-standing rat can spray strong acid, just like some poisonous snakes can spray venom. It is just a biological talent of this race.
Although it has no skills, the talents of the Tail-Standing Rat are all powerful.
The acid talent comes from the monster's body fluids. The monster's body fluids in this world are all highly corrosive.
Moreover, there is a poison sac in the throat of the tail rat, which can actively spray out large amounts of blue acid.
In the movie, the pregnant rat used this trick to destroy a mecha.
Toxic radiation is an ability that every monster possesses.
They will continuously release highly toxic and harmful radiation, polluting the planet's environment.
Of course, the "highly toxic" and "harmful" here are relative to native creatures such as humans.
These things are quite comfortable for monsters and pioneers.
Flying airbags are a capability that was not shown in the movie.
You Huan initially judged that this ability was created by the world in order to allow the tail-standing rat to actually fly.
In the two "Pacific Rim" movies, the Tailed Rat is the only monster that can fly, and its flying ability is extremely amazing.
It can even carry a huge and heavy mecha out of the atmosphere!
The following "claw tail" and "neural detection" correspond to the characteristics of the tail and tongue respectively.
Electroreception is also an ability that was not shown in the movie, and he didn't even feel that he had this ability.
Maybe it hasn't developed to the point of showing yet?
Dual brains are also standard for every monster. One brain is responsible for controlling body behavior, and the other is responsible for perceiving, thinking and analyzing the outside world.
Needless to say, the consciousness link is collective consciousness.
Because he was not born yet, You Huan could hardly feel the existence of the geniuses.
So he finished reading the panel and continued eating.
[Evolution Point +1]
[...]
Until he collected 10 evolution points and upgraded.
As his body grows, the warm space that wraps him begins to tremble!
PS1: Because there are only so many monsters in the movie, and the upper limit is only level 5, but according to the settings behind the scenes, there are higher levels of monsters, so this article will create some upgraded new monsters based on the prototypes of the monsters that have appeared.
PS2: The movie doesn't show much about the abilities of the Tail-Standing Rat, just acid + flight + big tail. There's no mention of the specific uses of its horns and tongue, so some of the abilities of the Tail-Standing Rat are made up by me.
PS3: The weight data in the official setting of Pacific Rim seems a bit unscientific, so it will not be used here. As for the weight, please use your imagination to come up with a reasonable weight.
PS4: The setting of the alien civilization "Pioneer" comes partly from the Pacific Rim setting and partly from other similar works. Generally speaking, some of it was written by me, because there will be a lot of pioneer plots involved later.
