Chapter 613: Defects
Since they are technical researchers, the most likely place where these biochemical mushroom people work is a laboratory, a research institute or something, and Jiang Yan feels that he may be able to find some valuable demonic energy clan technical achievements there.
The tunnel-like roads in the body of the Demon Mother Tree are like spiral conduits around the axis of the main trunk of the giant tree, and the Biochemical Mushroom People live directly in small single rooms of less than ten square meters of flesh and blood walls of the mother tree on both sides of the road. Jiang Yan probed a little and found that these single rooms were empty, and there were no furniture such as tables, chairs, beds, etc., that human dwellings had.
When the biochemical mushroom man was resting inside, he stood directly in the center of the single room and pricked his roots into the floor, so that his roots were linked to the flesh and blood of the mother tree, and then fell asleep standing like an ordinary tree.
In addition to the small single room where the biochemical mushroom people take root and rest, there are also some large rooms of hundreds of square meters, which usually contain some science fiction magic instruments similar to computer consoles, as well as some tall cylindrical glass petri dishes filled with biotic agents.
Jiang Yan manipulated the phantom little jellyfish to split into some small clones again and flew into the rooms that were supposed to be laboratories, and approached the transparent petri dish glass cover, and could see some creatures floating inside, some of them were just a mass of flesh with no specific face, some were like polymers tangled together with countless tentacles, and some were strange trees that would swing rattan like an octopus.
Even Jiang Yan saw humanoid creatures in it that were very similar to human appearance, they were all locked in petri dishes without exception, the more energetic ones would slap the surrounding glass cover to make a gurgling sound, and the less energetic ones would float quietly in the culture liquid like a dead corpse at all, only the flesh and blood tissue that occasionally wriggled showed that they had not yet lost their vitality.
A cyborg man walks up to the petri dish of a lifeless-looking tentacle monster and raises his hand and knocks on the glass cover.
After knocking several times, seeing that the tentacle monster inside did not react at all, the biochemical mushroom man scratched his umbrella cover with his dry fingers, and said to himself, "Dead?" or fake your death?"
“......”
After thinking for a few seconds, it walked to the bench next to it and removed a test tube containing fuchsia liquid, then returned to the petri dish, placed the test tube in a groove on the operating table below the petri dish, and gently tapped a small button in front of the groove.
With a click, the test tube sank directly, and then there was a slight pumping sound. I saw that the mechanism at the top of the glass cover of the petri dish opened a small hole, and then a cloud of purple-red liquid was injected into the original light yellow culture medium, and slowly infected the entire glass cover.
Just a few seconds after the purple-red liquid enveloped the tentacle monster, the tentacle monster that originally looked like it was dead suddenly trembled, and then began to dance wildly, and the tentacles kept beating the glass cover, making a loud banging sound.
"Doesn't that seem shrewd?" said the cyborg man grinned, his gaze falling to the petri dish's mechanical display, his eyes inquiringly observing the various data displayed above.
......After struggling for half a minute, the tentacle monster inside the petri dish let out a sharp and piercing hiss, and then began to twitch unconsciously, and at the same time, the body of the countless tentacles tangled together began to bulge unnaturally.
Smack...... After a bang, the tentacle monster in the petri dish exploded, scattering into countless slimy fragments, staining the culture fluid inside.
Seeing this, the biochemical mushroom man tapped the console twice, and saw a circle of light waves slowly rising from the bottom of the petri dish, and after scanning the glass cover of the entire petri dish up and down twice, the light waves disappeared, and a red signal light on the operating table flashed one after another.
Another biochemical mushroom man walked over next to him, and when he saw the situation in the petri dish, he shook the umbrella cover in disappointment: "Still can't do it...... This is the 129th test subject to fail this month, right?"
"Maybe it's time to fundamentally redesign the formula of the 'Loyalty Factor Transformation Potion'? The current version of the drug is too violent, at most it can only be used as a poison, and after injecting it into the creature, the loyalty factor will kill the target before it has time to infect the target's genes. ”
"The great master is about to wake up, according to the order of the director, we only have less than three years of research and development left, and now it is too late to redesign a new potion formula......
"Speaking of which, is the idea of this potion really feasible?" the cyborg man later looked at him with doubt.
"Whether it is feasible or not, we must obey the orders of the Director. The biochemical mushroom man at the beginning said helplessly, and then a determined look appeared in his eyes: "Everything is for the great master!"
"That's right. Hearing the words of his companion, the biochemical mushroom man who was originally questioning seemed to have been touched by a switch, and his spirit was also lifted, and his tone firmly echoed: "Everything is for the great master!"
Flying in the sky above the laboratory, silently feeling the thoughts of firm allegiance to the so-called 'great master' in the emotions of these biochemical mushroom people, Jiang Yan clearly realized how overbearing the effect of the so-called "loyalty gene" program on their bodies was.
Their current spirit gave Jiang Yan the feeling that it was almost similar to those fanatical believers who worshiped gods in the church, maybe the so-called 'great master' was just an order, even if it was to ask them to sacrifice their lives, they would not hesitate.
As for the 'Loyalty Factor Transformation Elixir' in their mouths, Jiang Yan could roughly guess what it was, most of the time...... It is supposed to be a potion that extracts the "loyalty gene" from the human body of a biochemical like them and injects it into the bodies of other normal creatures to infect each other, so that the target submits to their master.
It seems that the submachine code with Jiang Yan's own ability seems to have the same purpose. If they succeed in developing those potions, they can be used to enslave other races.
But fortunately, it seems that the research of these biochemical mushroom people on the potion is not going well.
After leaving the phantom little jellyfish in a hidden corner of this laboratory, and letting Zhi Brain take over the control and keep a surveillance, Jiang Yan shifted his attention.
In the Demon Mother Tree, there are many laboratories similar to this biological medicine, and you can see the leaf doors leading to this kind of laboratory everywhere next to the road, Jiang Yan sent a small Phantom Hidden Jellyfish to these laboratories as a monitor, so that not only can collect information, but when necessary in the future, Jiang Yan can also use them as coordinates, using the teleportation ability of the "Dimensional Stomach" or digital teleportation to directly send troops into the body of the Demon Mother Tree to attack.
Not only are there many biological-related engineering laboratories, Jiang Yan also found some research laboratories related to mechanical puppets, of course, because it is a research laboratory established inside the Demon Mother Tree, the research conducted here is only the conceptual stage of the design of the magic weapon, and the place to really test the function of the finished product is in some outdoor experimental fields specially planned in the suburbs of the city outside.
There are also some studies that are not too dangerous, such as experiments to improve the refining method of active metals.
Jiang Yan was quite strange at first: why did these biochemical mushroom people deliberately stay in the body of the demonized mother tree to conduct research work, and even set up many research laboratories in the body of the mother tree?
However, after seeing a scene, he quickly dispelled his doubts.
Many biochemical mushroom people who are busy in the experiment often maintain ultra-high-intensity mental calculation work, at this time, they will directly root their roots on the floor of the laboratory, the floor is actually formed by the flesh and blood of the demon mother tree, after the biochemical mushroom people take root, Jiang Yan scanned through the ability to have a very rich and vigorous wisp of life energy transmitted from the depths of the wall of flesh and blood to the feet of these biochemical mushroom people, and then through their roots under the floor to be absorbed by them.
The energy burden required by the Biochemical Mushroom Man's abnormally developed brain, which was originally in a state of high-speed active operation, was directly alleviated by the life energy provided by the Demon Mother Tree.
There is no information about these biochemical mushroom people in the relevant records of various forces about the magic civilization of that year, and there is not even a single word, because it was not this semi-vegetative cyborg who was responsible for the technical research work within the magic civilization back then, but the personnel of the demon energy clan itself.
Therefore, these biochemical mushroom people are actually the product of bioengineering technology redeveloped by some of the remaining demon energy tribes after the end of the war.
After the war was won or lost, all the forces of all parties gave the defeated Demon Energy Clan a strategy of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, and under the joint pursuit of the world's top forces, they were lucky to survive the Demon Energy Clan, even if it continues to this day, the number will definitely not be too much.
The number of clansmen is too scarce, and the work required to support the civilization recovery of the clan may be very difficult, so the small number of clansmen who survived the Demon Energy Clan back then deliberately developed this cyborg technology.
However, now it seems that their cyborg technology has some flaws for some reason. The main disadvantage of "artificial development", which is that the potential is fixed due to excessive genetic adjustment, is one of the main points, and the other point is the thinking load caused by the work efficiency of cyborgs who are too focused on the development of the brain domain.
If they weren't able to devote themselves to high-intensity mental research work as they are now, without the Nutrient Support of the Demon Mother Tree at any time, they might die of rapid brain failure directly due to excessive mental load during work!
After confirming the defects of these cyborgs, Jiang Yan's original interest in this cyborg's manufacturing technology suddenly diminished by half. When it comes to mental calculations, the technical researchers under his command will not have any mental overload at all because of the assistance of the data-based intelligent brain, and the calculation ability will not be lost to these biochemical mushroom people at all.
Therefore, Jiang Yan actually does not need to pursue this defective product at all.
Originally, Jiang Yan was still a little interested in the program called "Plant Link" of this biochemical mushroom man. Because it seems that this program is a special skill to be able to communicate with plants. And this ability to communicate with plants may help Jiang Yan figure out how to link the data ability to the "spirit" of the plant.
But after actually copying this program and transferring it to the Niddleles side for Zhi Brain to test, Jiang Yan found that he was thinking too much.
The ability of the "plant link" of the biochemical mushroom people is a limited racial ability that can only be fully withstood by their own semi-vegetative special modified physique, and the compatibility between normal creatures and this skill program is very poor, even if it is a universal slime elf like Xiaobai.
If you forcibly install this "Plant Link" program on normal creatures, not only will you not be able to give full play to its effects, but you will even have the risk of alienating and mutating your own constitution and becoming a 'real vegetative person'.
And the effect of the skill program "Plant Link" is not to communicate with the 'soul' of the plant, but to forcibly erode one's mind to the plant, so as to manipulate the plant like a marionette. This kind of function is not the same thing as what Jiang Yan expected!
"Sure enough, is it more realistic to get the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan's clan treasure "Heart of Nature"?' Jiang Yan, who confirmed that the biochemical mushroom man was of little value to him and was looking forward to it in vain, wandered around this thought in his heart.
That being said, Jiang Yan still sent Zhi Brain to use the clone of the Phantom Slime Mimic to search for the manufacturing technology of this biochemical mushroom man.
The stones of other mountains can attack jade, although it is worthless on the whole, but the other party's production concept of cyborg may be able to have any unexpected heuristic help for the artificial human gene cloning technology in Jiang Yan's hand. With such an idea, Jiang Yan asked Zhi Brain to collect relevant information.
While the miscellaneous things were flying, the mimic phantom jellyfish controlled by Jiang Yan continued to fly along the spiral-shaped passage, and the various research rooms along the way, as well as the biochemical mushroom people who were busy with themselves, all began to make him a little tired of his vision.
Until a certain moment, he suddenly stopped in a leaf door.
The reason why it stopped here was because Jiang Yan continued to release a small amount of data detection waves to scan intelligence, and found a powerful lifeform behind this leaf door that was obviously different from other biochemical mushroom people.
Jiang Yan's mood perked up: 'Oh? Could it be that I finally met the real high-level core personnel?'
......
