Chapter 43: The Soul Tree Holy Land
After successfully winning the favor of the Na'vi through the one-ball road-path project, Dr. Grace was finally allowed to visit the Na'vi Soul Tree Sanctuary.
Not only that, but the Na'vi even agreed to perform a soul transfer ritual for them, so that Jolu and Dr. Grace could see this magical ability for themselves.
This is really a rare opportunity, and Qiao Lu certainly doesn't want to miss it.
Volunteering for the ceremony was one of Dr. Grace's disabled soldiers named Jack Sully.
That's right, he is the original protagonist in the movie "Avatar".
In this world, he has no chance to become the savior of the Na'vi, but he still falls in love with the Na'vi girl Nitri as an avatar.
So he sincerely hoped that he would be able to give up his mutilated body and become a true Na'vi and live on Pandora forever.
Such technology is something that the Avatar Project can't provide, so Dr. Grace brought him here.
Only the Na'vi Soul Transfer Ritual was able to fulfill his wish.
So Jory, Dr. Grace, and Jack went to the sacred place of the Na'vi, the Tree of Souls.
It is a large tree with countless drooping roots and a beautiful purple glow, and it looks like a jellyfish on land.
Each root is an exposed nerve interface, so the tree can supply thousands of Na'vi people at the same time to connect their nerves and listen to their prayers and calls.
At the same time, this tree is also the nerve center of the planet Eva, with this as the center to control everything on the planet Pandora.
So from any point of view, this is a magical holy place, and it would be a waste not to collect some samples and go back for research.
Dr. Grace immediately collected a small sample of the Soul Tree, a move that was unpopular with the Na'vi, but it didn't stop her due to Joru's affection.
Dr. Grace, of course, knew that this was not in keeping with the Na'vi traditions, so after collecting a small sample, he immediately stopped offending.
At the moment when the sample was obtained, Qiao Lu also got a hint from the system:
"Obtain Soul Tree Fragments to unlock the special research item [Soul Transfer], and reduce the cost of civilization points for the accelerated research item [Awakening Earth] by 10%."
Sure enough, the [Soul Transfer] research project was unlocked from here.
And due to a deeper understanding of the planetary will Eva, the acceleration cost of [Awakening Earth] has also been reduced by 10%.
Don't look at this 10% seems to be very little, for the cost of the 100,000 civilization points based on [Awakening Earth], it is a direct saving of 10,000 civilization points!
Qiao Lu only has 4920 civilization points until now.
Let's not think about such a distant project for the time being, and focus on the soul transfer technology that may be realized on the wandering earth in front of us.
As the Soul Transfer Ritual was about to begin, Jack walked under the root of the Soul Tree and lay down with his Avatar body.
The thin tendrils of the Soul Tree quickly wrapped around his body, covering his entire body, and on the other side, his avatar body was in the same state.
Under the leadership of the Elder Moya, hundreds of Na'vi sat together under the Soul Tree, connected to the Soul Tree with their neural interfaces, and began to pray to Eva.
"O Holy Mother, listen to our prayers, we ask you to take this soul and let him return to us so that his life may be renewed······"
The tendrils of the Soul Tree covering Jack's body were constantly flashing like human nerves, and Jack, who was originally sleepless, could even fall into a deep sleep in such a noisy environment.
Dr. Grace on the side used the instrument to continuously collect the current data generated on the soul tree, and these data are naturally the key to cracking the soul transfer technology.
After a flurry of prayers, Jack's original body gradually stopped breathing, and his other body, a Na'vi, opened his eyes suddenly.
The soul transfer has been successful!
Jack sat up in surprise, looked at his dead body next to him, and then looked at his current Ne'vi body, and couldn't help but cheer excitedly!
"I made it! I'm born again! ”
This is truly a rebirth in the true sense of the word, and from now on Jack will cease to exist as a human, and he will live forever as a Na'vi on Pandora.
"Congratulations, Jack."
Dr. Grace stepped forward to congratulate her, saying that if it weren't for a volunteer like him, she wouldn't have been able to see this amazing technology.
On the other side, Qiao Lu also received a system prompt: "Get the detailed data of the Soul Transfer Ritual and reduce the cost of civilization points for the accelerated research project [Soul Transfer] by 30%." ”
Qiao Lu simply took a look at the detailed introduction of this research project:
Special Research Project: Soul Transfer
Project Brief Introduction:
The Soul Tree, the sacred site of the Na'vi people, has the ability to transfer one's soul from one body to another, and if we can gather this information, we may be able to transfer souls from body to body.
We could even transfer the soul to a machine, or conversely, let the AI acquire a human body.
This is simply the power of God, and if we can master this technology, it will have an unimaginable impact on our society.
Pre-Technology: Spiritual Transfer
R&D Requirements: Soul Tree Sample, to witness a Soul Transfer Ritual
Accelerated Research: Requires Civilization 14000 (20000)
Note: This technology leads to the synthetic evolution route or the control gene route, and the wandering earth gains 10 mechanical technology tendencies and 10 mutant scientific tendencies, which have a chance to trigger the Eternal Fever Revolution.
It's a very dangerous technology, after all, it's a technology that can achieve immortality, so it's strange if it doesn't cause a huge controversy.
It's just that the soul transfer also needs a pre-technological spirit transfer, so there is no way to accelerate the research for the time being.
Fortunately, Dr. Grace, who has mastered the core technology of the Avatar Project, has already joined the Wandering Earth's side, so the spirit transfer technology, even if Qiao Lu does not use the civilization point to accelerate, the scientists of the Wandering Earth will soon be able to master it.
Then it is only a matter of time before the preconditions for this [Soul Transfer] project are met.
At this point, the special technology items that can be obtained from the Na'vi people have been obtained by Qiao Law, and the [Neural Interface] and [Soul Transfer] are really incredible abilities.
Next, after mining 10,000 tons of superconducting ore on Pandora, the wandering earth can set off for the next world!
