Chapter 496: Race against Life
The project of the artificial wind spirit star is very huge, and if you want to create a complete planet, let alone a year, it will not be possible to complete it without three years.
The Artificial Star City project has also encountered difficulties, and there is no big problem in building the Star City itself, as long as the existing space stations are slightly modified.
The key is to simulate the windy environment of the Wind Spirit Star, which is really difficult.
This is not something that can be solved by pressing a blower in the room, this kind of unnaturally formed wind is difficult to combine with K matter, and it will not be able to produce the wind attribute spiritual power that Linglong needs.
The engineering team cut their scalps and couldn't think of a solution, so they could only hope that some progress could be made on the artificial spirit stone.
Fortunately, Academician Hu and the others did not disappoint Mu Chen, and it only took two days to figure out the formation path of the spirit stone with the help of a group of physicists, and successfully made the first artificial spirit stone.
This fist-sized wind attribute spirit stone emitted a faint blue light, and although the spiritual power contained in it was not pure, it was stronger than nothing.
Mu Chen handed this spirit stone to Linglong with his own hands, wanting her to see if she could use it.
"Frankly speaking, there are a lot of impurities in this spirit stone, which is much worse than the sesame seed you handed over to me, and I don't know if I can absorb it." Mu Chen said a little embarrassedly, holding a semi-finished product for people to eat, I always feel very strange.
But Linglong was very excited, the moment she got her hands on the artificial spirit stone, she felt the familiar feeling emanating from the spirit stone.
"Mr. Mu Chen, you are too polite, I really didn't expect that you earthlings can really make spirit stones." Linglong said admiringly.
"Little girl, you taste it first, see if you can absorb the spiritual power in this spirit stone, can you absorb ......it," Academician Hu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said a little nervously.
I didn't close my eyes for two days and two nights, and a group of experts finally made this first-generation artificial spirit stone, and it was impossible to say that I didn't look forward to it.
Linglong smiled, put the spirit stone to her mouth, and sucked the spiritual power inside, a faint blue light flowed into her body, and the pale blue gradually became ruddy.
It's just that after absorbing a part, Linglong stopped.
"What? What's wrong? Academician Hu asked nervously.
Linglong frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "Spiritual power can be absorbed, but it tastes a little strange, as if it has been put for a long time......"
The feeling is that the taste is not good, and Academician Hu and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there anything else wrong?" ”
"Well, no......" Linglong whispered.
Mu Chen frowned and said: "Now is not the time for you to be thin-skinned, don't have any worries, if you have a problem, just raise it, only if you know the problem, Academician Hu and they can find a way to solve it." ”
"That's right, don't have any burden, we still know too little about K matter and spirit stones, your opinion is very important, don't worry about our face, just say if you have a problem." Academician Hu also said with a smile.
Linglong hesitated for a moment before blushing and said: "This artificial spirit stone has a lot of impurities, and when absorbed, it is like a lot of strange things mixed with spiritual power, although it can barely fill the stomach, but long-term absorption of this impure spiritual power has some side effects on the body of the elemental people......"
Academician Hu's faces became solemn, it seems that they were still happy too early, and the first generation of products still failed to meet the requirements.
"However, it is not a problem to absorb once or twice once in a while......" Linglong kindly relieved.
But no one takes her words seriously, scientists are often rigorous, how can they allow their results to be imperfect.
"I suggest adding a set of filtration devices, so that some of the impurities in the spirit stone can be discharged...... Academician Hu proposed.
Chief Engineer Wang frowned: "But in this way, the wind speed will inevitably decrease, and our previous experiments have proved that only when the wind speed reaches the strength of more than 9 levels, K matter will combine with the wind attribute to form a wind system spiritual power." ”
"Why don't you purify the air a few times first and use relatively pure air to generate wind, so you don't have to worry about wind speed." A physicist suggested.
"This method is good, let's try it now, Xiao Liu, you go and prepare the air purifier, and the others prepare for the experiment!" Academician Hu commanded.
Everyone immediately got busy, and they didn't even care about the Mu Chen who was guarding the side.
"Don't mind, these experts are in such a state when they work, they don't mean to ignore us." Mu Chen explained to Linglong with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm already very grateful to Academician Hu and them...... Linglong said softly, but her eyes kept looking at the busy group of people in front of her, vaguely expecting something.
"Since this spirit stone doesn't meet the requirements, don't keep holding it, didn't you say that eating too much is not good for your health?" Mu Chen saw that Linglong had been holding the half-absorbed spirit stone tightly, and couldn't help but say.
"I, can I keep it?" Linglong asked cautiously.
"What are you doing with a failure?" Mu Chen asked suspiciously.
Linglong looked a little cramped, lowered her head and said, "Sister, her spirit stone over there is almost running out, I want to leave this spirit stone to her, maybe she can hold on for a while longer......"
Mu Chen's heart was a little uncomfortable, as if a breath of turbid air was blocked in his chest, it turned out that Linglong had been worried about Xiao Lingxi, even if the spirit stone in her hand was not pure, and even harmful to her body, but she still cherished it as a life-saving straw.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation was very critical, Linglong would definitely not be willing to let her sister use this spirit stone full of impurities, but now
didn't care too much, and she wasn't allowed to pick and choose at all.
Mu Chen comforted softly: "Don't worry, I believe they will find a solution soon, Xiao Yu will be fine." ”
Linglong nodded vigorously, but said nothing.
It can be seen that the experts like Academician Hu have been very attentive, they have not slept for 48 hours, and since they arrived in Andromeda, they have not closed their eyes, and they are even discussing the content of the experiment during the meal, and they can no longer be asked to do better.
Several other Wind Spirit Clansmen beside him were also moved, and thanked Mu Chen repeatedly, but they didn't know what they could do other than that.
"You're welcome, since I said I would help you, I won't give up halfway......" Mu Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Mr. Mu Chen, you don't understand how important this is to us, if we don't get the replenishment of spiritual power, maybe our Wind Elemental Clan will perish......" A girl named Lingyu said gratefully.
"Didn't you say there's still a year left?" Mu Chen asked in surprise.
Linglong glanced at each other, and explained the reason in a whisper: "One year means that our strongest clansmen can only survive for another year, and every day now, many clansmen die due to serious injuries or excessive spiritual power consumption......"
"This means that in a year's time, there will only be one person left in your Wind Spirit Clan?" Mu Chen asked solemnly.
"I'm afraid that's the case, this is still saying that all the existing spirit stones can only be supplied to one person in a centralized manner......" Linglong said embarrassedly.
Well, it turned out that the situation was much worse than expected, but Mu Chen didn't want to say anything more, after all, Linglong didn't mean to hide it.
This is no longer a race against time, but a race against life, the day the experiment is successful, more wind spirit people will die, no wonder even if it is a spirit stone full of impurities, Linglong is unwilling to discard it.
Mu Chen sighed deeply, and silently prayed in his heart that Linglong and the others could survive this difficulty.
Three hours passed in a blink of an eye, and when Academician Hu walked over with a tired face, everyone was attracted by the spirit stone in his hand.
"Live up to the trust, this time it should be fine." Academician Hu solemnly handed over the spirit stone in his hand to Linglong and motioned for her to give it a try.
This spirit stone was obviously much purer than the previous one, and the blue light emitted was also clearer.
Linglong sucked softly, and tears couldn't stop flowing: "Yes, it's the taste of hometown......"
"It's finished?" Academician Hu asked expectantly.
"Hmm!" Linglong wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice: "There is no difference between it and the spiritual power on the Wind Spirit Star, and it is even much purer. ”
"Hahaha, great! The Wind Spirit people are saved! Mu Chen said excitedly.
