Chapter 33: The Nature of the Dragon Vein
The truth about the dragon vein?
Zhao Chen has been thinking since he came to this world... What exactly is the power of the dragon vein?
Judging from the spells that Yi Zheng casts, as well as the abilities displayed by foreign alchemists, no matter how you look at it, they are all close to magic and superpowers.
Yi Zheng, this guy can attract a fire or thunder with a spell.
The complete stealth technology, which cannot be achieved by technology at this stage, can be easily achieved by relying on the power of the dragon vein.
Yi Zheng explained a lot of knowledge related to the origin of the dragon vein to Zhao Chen and Hua Guo, but these knowledge involved metaphysical things such as the three souls and six spirits of people, reincarnation, and heaven and earth luck.
What the researchers of the National Research Institute want is the essence, the essence of the dragon vein that can be analyzed in a scientific form.
Now the surface layer of this essence is under this biological microscope.
"Fine... Womb? Zhao Chen saw clearly the wriggling 'cells' under the lens of the biological microscope.
They come together like biological cells, then they are scattered and dismantled from each other, and then they come together again and repeat the process.
"The basic unit of dragon vein power is similar to the structure of biological cells, but it is more complicated, team Zhao, can you control those dragon vein particles under the microscope?"
Academician Yan named these small 'dragon vein powers' observed under the biological microscope as dragon vein particles.
"Yes."
Zhao Chen was able to consciously control the flow of these dragon vein particles, causing them to reunite and move slowly in the direction outside the petri dish.
"What about trying to make them solidify? Ice crystals are generated, and these dragon vein particles are extracted from the rhizome of a type of Great Xia alchemists called 'frost flowers'. ”
Zhao Chen tried to further order these round dragon vein particles to lower the temperature around them.
The excellent affinity of the dragon veins made Zhao Chen more comfortable controlling them after observing these particles.
These dragon vein particles, which were still round before, instantly appeared a large number of sharp synapses on the surface!
The temperature on the petri dish plummeted, and in an instant, a large amount of frost and mist condensed on the lid of the dish, and it was impossible to observe further.
"This is the principle of ice condensation and snowfall?" Zhao Chen looked up at Academician Yan and asked.
"It can only be said that it is one of them, the monks of the original Great Xia relied on charms and spells to drive these dragon vein particles, but we still can't explain why the dragon vein particles react to human spirits or human spirits with 'spirit veins'."
Academician Yan tapped his forehead as he spoke.
"Spiritual veins?" Zhao Chen heard a new word again.
"The name of the alchemists for the organ that stores dragon vein particles in the body cannot be said to be an organ, and the alchemists can indeed store dragon vein particles in the body, which is like cultivation? Accumulating aura in the body or something? ”
Academician Yan usually reads some novels that young people love to read, especially when he comes to this world where you can throw a spell to create thunder and lightning, he loves it even more.
But it is his duty to analyze everything that is not normal in front of him, and finally to be able to explain it in scientific language.
"The current direction of research is why dragon vein particles respond to people, or people with the talent of alchemists, right?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Yes, there is one of the most likely guessing directions at this stage."
Academician Yan led Zhao Chen out of another laboratory, which was more heavily guarded, and the glass in the laboratory was made of composite glass with excellent ballistic properties.
"Has Team Zhao ever heard of the term hive consciousness?" Academician Yan said a concept that is not unusual.
"I have heard that individual consciousness is closely connected with collective consciousness, and even that there is only one consciousness in the whole collective."
"That's probably what happened to the dragon vein." Academician Yan stopped and pointed to the ground under his feet and said.
"Every alchemist is actually a part of the dragon vein... The higher the affinity with the dragon vein, the more skilled the alchemist is in using the dragon vein, the closer he will be connected with the dragon vein, and he can quickly and naturally mobilize more dragon vein resources for his own use. Academician Yan said.
"This also explains why the source of the power of the dragon vein is... The emotions and thoughts of the people? Zhao Chen was still skeptical when he heard Yi Zheng say this before.
How is it possible for the power of thoughts and emotions to converge to ignite fire and attract thunder?
But the dragon vein system of this world seems to be this kind of system that can turn thoughts into power.
"It's just one of the sources, according to our current observations, dragon veins will also eat 'rot'."
The excitement in Academician Yan's voice when he said this could not be concealed.
Because this is a new ecosystem based on the dragon vein system, and it is very valuable for research!
"The fact that the incarnation of the dragon vein, the earth spirit, can absorb the energy from the corpse of that black dragon is a proof of this, of course, it is not excluded that they can also absorb the energy from the movement of the earth's crust, which requires a lot of research and observation, and there is no way to draw conclusions now."
Academician Yan's excited description was quickly interrupted by the sound of hitting the glass, and Zhao Chen directly protected the academician behind him, staring at the bulletproof glass blocked by the steel gate in the distance.
"Don't worry, Team Zhao... There is also a negative or bad side to the dragon vein system, which is where we want to remind Team Zhao and all the soldiers who are out on a mission. ”
At the signal of Academician Yan, the iron-cast floodgates were opened, and Zhao Chen also saw clearly the creatures imprisoned behind the bulletproof glass.
It was a 'creature' made of scarlet silt, very similar to the Great Xia ghosts that Zhao Chen had seen under the Skinning Gang's stronghold.
It's just that it is difficult for the resentful soul of Great Xia to solidify its own entity, but this creature not only solidifies the entity, but also has a hard skeleton under the entity, but the muscle parts are constantly festering, and after the festering, they are constantly reborn.
"What is this?" Zhao Chen stared at the 'creature' that kept hitting the glass wall.
After staring at it for a long time, Zhao Chen felt that some negative thoughts appeared in his mind, which made him difficult to control, and the most intuitive feeling was killing intent and anger.
"This was discovered from Ainlan's concession in Great Xia... Artificial creatures? ”
Academician Yan is really reluctant to say some taboos in this biology.
"It is composed of the negative consciousness of many people of Great Xia before death, it is very aggressive and destructive, those monks who came to assist us in our research, it is difficult for them to get along with this 'creature' for too long, Team Zhao, are you okay?"
Academician Yan noticed that cold sweat began to overflow on Zhao Chen's forehead.
"It can interfere with my emotions, but I can hold on."
Zhao Chen wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
Academician Yan saw that the purpose of Zhao Chen's reaction test had been achieved, so he hurriedly asked the researchers to lower the iron gate.
"I'm worried about whether this 'creature' could be born in the natural environment, it should be said that it is normal for it to appear naturally, and once there is a large-scale war, the plague will cause the emotions of the people in the area to go to extremes."
"Ground... Spirit. ”
Zhao Chen took a deep breath and explained why such a large-scale monster still did not appear in the Dragon Vein World after so many years of war.
"The spirits may suppress these things."
Zhao Chen had already stopped wiping the sweat from his forehead, because a small hand came out of nowhere to help Zhao Chen wipe the sweat.
It was the two earth spirit girls who had eaten and drunk enough.
Zhao Chen was suddenly stunned for a moment when he thought of this, and his eyes looked at Nanaqi, who was still vigilant.
Because he now has an idea...
So what if the spirits of an area die or leave, and then there is a mass killing and extinction?
The situation in the Americas may be even worse than Zhao Chen imagined.
