Chapter 16: Worm Worms
The investigation was limited to a few high-level people at the university, and the cessation of the investigation did not cause any waves at Yenching University. The registration of new students is carried out in an orderly manner, and every place on campus is full of energetic faces.
Qin Liang didn't know that his unintentional performance had caused a lot of turmoil among the top management of Yenching University. At this time, he was lying in his bedroom, looking at the furnishings around him, even after a few days, he still sighed a little. The treatment of special admissions is indeed speechless.
A separate bedroom is not just one room, but a complete suite, with a bedroom and a separate bathroom, as well as a kitchen, refrigerator, washing machine and other furniture. What's more, Qin Liang was speechless because he even had an independent laboratory of his own.
Although there are no top-notch experimental instruments in the laboratory, there are only some basic experimental tools and ordinary materials on display. But this is already more luxurious than the laboratory when he was in middle school, and this laboratory belongs to him alone, not dozens of people in a class huddled together and queued up to take turns to do experiments.
"Brother, I'll take you to my mentor's lab to have a look." When Qin Liang was in a daze, Qin Yan, who had a happy smile on her face and eyes like a crescent moon, walked in.
"Your mentor's research project is complete?" Qin Liang stood up and asked casually.
The formalities for admission were completed on the first day, and Qin Liang was included in the rune department. On the day he came, Qin Yan's mentor Qi Wanru was doing an experiment and didn't see anyone. The dormitory and the department arranged these things with Qin Yan's help.
"Not yet, how can it be so fast. However, once it succeeds, it will definitely be big news, and maybe Mr. Qi will be able to win the trophy of the Lifetime Contribution Award. ”
"Lifetime Contribution Award! What potion are you working on? Qin Liang was a little speechless.
The Lifetime Contribution Award is not something that can be won immediately, and there are only a few people who have won this award over the years, and these people are undoubtedly not people who have researched something that can make epoch-making significance. For example, Dr. Hassen, who proved that energy can not only be conserved, but also resonate, also won a lifetime contribution award.
The award is not limited to one country or region. Rather, this award will be awarded only if it is recognized by all countries on the planet, and everyone feels that this scientific research achievement is meaningful to mankind as a whole and can advance human civilization. With this award in hand, you can do nothing for the rest of your life, and just eating your old book is enough to eat for several generations.
"An elixir that can help high-level fighters break through and become master-level warriors."
The process of this research project and the data obtained from the experiment are strictly confidential, but the purpose of the experiment is not confidential, because many people in the entire pharmacist association are studying it. So Qin Yan didn't keep it a secret from Qin Liang.
"It's easy to break through in strength, but it's very difficult for the realm to keep up." Qin Liang said.
The breakthrough of strength is a qualitative change caused by quantitative changes, and artificially increasing the accumulation of quantity can indeed lead to qualitative changes in advance. But things in the realm, such as a warrior's understanding of combat and martial arts, this requires talent and continuous accumulation. This cannot be done overnight.
The reason why there is a gap in the strength of the warriors who have accumulated with the potions and the warriors who have grown step by step with their own talent and hard work is in this aspect. After all, the combat effectiveness of the muscular man who has been trained in the gym and the strong physique soldier who has been participating in actual combat is not on the same level at all.
However, from a high-level warrior to a master-level warrior, the breakthrough in physique alone is also very powerful. While certainly inferior to a true master fighter in terms of combat, it is enough to crush a high-level fighter. Therefore, there is still a high demand for pharmaceutical research in this area.
"The teacher said the same thing, so now she is specializing in potions that improve mental power, and this aspect is also the focus of our current research." Qin Yan replied.
"That's a good idea." Qin Liang nodded.
Simply allowing a senior warrior to break through to the level of a master warrior in terms of physique, although it is a major scientific research breakthrough, it is a bit reluctant to enjoy the contribution award of sentient beings. But if it is an improvement in mental power, this is indeed a great scientific breakthrough.
Psychic power is known to be related to the brain, or rather to the legendary soul. The improvement of mental strength has always been a big headache for all walks of life, because the body can be targeted exercise, and it can also be assisted by medicinal agents. But the breakthrough of spiritual power is still a blur, and no good way has been found so far.
Just as the muscles of the whole body are easy to exercise, but there is no accurate way to improve the development rate of the brain.
"It's not going to be just you and your advisor in this research project, is it?" When he came to the laboratory, looking at the emptiness around him, Qin Liang asked in some surprise.
It's a huge laboratory with all kinds of equipment, and on the other side are rows of bookshelves, on which are placed many bottles and cans divided into several categories. The essence blood of the demon beast on one of the shelves turned out to be the essence blood of a fifth-level demon beast, which made Qin Liang stunned for a moment.
The fifth-level demon beast is equivalent to the master-level combat power of a human warrior, and the spiritual intelligence has been opened, so it is not so easy to kill it. Under normal circumstances, two master-level warriors can join forces to kill a fifth-level demon beast, and they must be equipped with mecha or other auxiliary combat power.
"How is it possible that there are only two people in such a large research project, and we have been working overtime for several months. Recently, the research has entered a bottleneck, and the teacher said that we should all take a break from the holidays and change our brains to see if we can think of any new ideas to break through the bottleneck in front of us.
If it weren't for the holidays, I wouldn't have brought you to the lab. The research room is not open to the public, and some research materials are confidential. Even the school's high-level access requires cumbersome procedures. Qin Yan explained.
"I see." Qin Liang nodded.
As soon as he entered, he wondered why there was no one in the laboratory, and all kinds of experimental equipment were cleaned as if they had never been used. It turned out that the research had been stopped during the holidays, and these test equipment were naturally cleaned up and placed in their original places. At this time, there are people with bad intentions recently, and I really can't see anything just by looking at the laboratory in front of me.
"You wait here for me, I'll go in and call the mentor, it's not open to the public." Qin Yan pointed to the door at the end of the laboratory and said.
"It's okay, you go in first, I'll take a look everywhere here." Qin Liang nodded.
"Well, then you can take a look, but don't touch the things here, some things are very dangerous."
"I know, I'm also a junior rune master, and I know a little bit about potions and things, so I won't touch them stupidly." Qin Liang smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed Qin Yan's head.
"Don't touch my head again, my originally smart head is constantly rubbed stupidly by you like this."
Qin Yan glared at Qin Liang, but with a smile on her face. Reaching out to straighten out his kneaded messy hair, he walked towards the laboratory inside.
Qin Liang came to the side of the shelf where various materials were placed and looked at it with more interest.
The various materials on the shelves are not low-grade, and a few of them are even very rare materials in the eyes of Qin Liang, the Undead Emperor. This made Qin Liang sigh at the depth of Yenching University's background and sufficient funding for research. A mentor's reserve of laboratory materials is so luxurious, let alone other larger research projects.
Qin Liang stopped and looked at the various materials in the shelf, and suddenly Qin Liang stopped in front of a shelf, looking at the contents of a glass bottle in front of him, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
"There is such a thing in this world, so the green silkworm also exists." Qin Liang reached out and picked up the sealed vial in front of him, and couldn't help but show an excited look on his face.
The small bottle that Qin Liang picked up was not big, the thickness of the egg was a finger high, and it contained something similar to the molting of a cicada from a larva to a retreating cicada. However, this thing does not have as many feet as cicadas, but it is more like a silkworm cocoon, but it is not as thick as a silkworm cocoon, only a thin layer is very crisp.
This thing is called a green worm shell, and it is indeed a shell shed by a creature, but this thing is not a cicada, but a green silkworm in Qin Liang's mouth.
The real name of the green silkworm is the Worm Soul Insect, which looks similar to the mulberry silkworm, but it is covered in green, so it is called the green silkworm by the necromancer.
The green silkworm is a rare insect that grows by eating the brain marrow of living things. However, what it eats is not the real brain marrow of the creature, but the brain marrow in the brain case gradually dried up after the creature died and buried in the ground for many years, and finally some soul filaments remained.
The brain is a magical organization that is considered by all living beings to be the place where the soul resides. Therefore, when the creature dies, the soul dissipates, and the brain, which used to be the place where the soul once lived, has more or less some soul power, and these things are the food of the soul worm.
Worms like to crawl into the brains of dead creatures that have become skeletons, and eat the residue that has dried up in the skull and leave only the remnants attached to the inside of the creature skull like a piece of tissue paper, and obtain the legendary residual soul power from it as food.
Therefore, it is very difficult to catch the worm soul worm because their body is very small, and the largest is only about three centimeters. And stay underground all year round in the bones of the pile, crawling from one skull to another skull to eat and sleep.
And even in dormancy, the soul worm is very vigilant, and will flee at the slightest movement. Whether humans have clairvoyance or not, they can't see whether there are worm soul insects in some skulls underground, and they can't dig into the ground to catch them silently.
Therefore, the shell of the worm soul worm that continues to shed as it grows may be found in the skull by chance, and the live worm soul worm is difficult to catch even for the undead master.
