Through the teleportation platform on the top of the planetary engine, Qiao Lu returned to the wandering earth in the blink of an eye, appearing in the Beijing No. 1 planetary engine, which is closest to the Central Academy of Sciences.

Although the war between humans and the pioneers is in full swing on the Earth in the Pacific Rim plane, it is still a stable and peaceful scene on the Wandering Earth.

The existence of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force is to avoid burning the flames of war on the Wandering Earth as much as possible, and it has to be said that it is the credit of countless soldiers of the Expeditionary Force who fought bravely.

Only by returning here can Qiao Lu rest assured, after all, this is their most reliable rear.

It's just that Qiao Lu doesn't have time to rest, he has more important things to do when he comes back, and there are more important actions waiting for him next.

Qiao Lu quickly rushed to the Central Academy of Sciences and went straight to the underground laboratory where the Mind Gem was kept.

The scholars of the wandering earth have been studying the Mind Gem for so long, and it is time to come up with some results.

After going through many checkpoints and layers of security checks, Qiao Lu finally came to the underground laboratory where the mind gem was studied.

The Infinity Stone, which glows with yellow light, is placed in the center of this laboratory, and is surrounded by countless scholars in the center to observe it carefully, and continue to conduct various experiments.

Among this group of scholars from the Central Academy of Sciences, Iron Man Tony and Hulk Banner are also impressively listed. It's just that compared to the scholars who wandered the earth, the curiosity of the two of them about the soul gem is obviously not so strong, and they are more just providing advice as people who have come over.

After all, they had used the Mind Gem to poke out a big basket like Ultron, and it would be nice not to cast a shadow on the Mind Gem, let alone study the use of the Mind Gem.

With the two of them as a lesson from the past, the Wandering Earth is naturally more conservative and cautious in the study of the Mind Gem, which is why the research of the Mind Gem takes so long.

Not long after Qiao Lu came to the underground laboratory, Zhang Bin, president of the Central Academy of Sciences, also hurried over and asked Qiao Lu:

"Director Qiao Lu, you rushed back in such a hurry, is there any emergency?"

Qiao Lu shook his head and said, "It's not an emergency, it's just that we are about to prepare to explore through the wormhole, and we want to consult a little more about something." ”

The biological weapons that the expeditionary force prepared to use for wormhole investigation were made from the Central Academy of Sciences, and Zhang Bin naturally knew something about it.

Zhang Bin asked worriedly, "Do you think we still have any negligence?" ”

"It's not negligence, I just want to be on the safe side." Qiao Lu replied.

"According to the information I have gathered, the pioneer civilization has a certain ability to brainwash and control others, although at present, if you want to use this ability to control humans, you also need a neural empathy device as a medium, but after all, now we are ready to use a desperate tyrant implanted with monster genes, once you enter the territory of the pioneer civilization, it is difficult to guarantee whether you will be affected by their hive will."

All the monsters created by the pioneer civilization are under the control of a hive will, and if this control is rooted in the monster's genes, it means that the wandering earth biological weapons implanted with the monster genes are also at risk of being controlled by the master of the pioneer civilization.

It's like putting a Trojan virus into a computer, and maybe there won't be any problems for a while, but once certain conditions are met, these biological weapons implanted with monster genes will suddenly be controlled by the mastermind of the pioneer civilization, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

"It's a possibility." Zhang Bin touched his chin and said, "The reason why the wormhole uses the monster's genes as a pass may also be the reason. ”

Qiao Lu nodded and said, "So I wonder if we have a way to counter this kind of hive mind control that is close to telepathy." Otherwise, our desperate tyrant will enter the wormhole and only send biological weapons to the pioneer civilization in vain. ”

"That's why you think of the Gem of the Mind."

Zhang Bin looked at the Mind Gem in the center of the laboratory on the side, this Infinity Stone did have the magical power to enter the minds of others, and it happened to be an artifact that could compete with the hive will of the pioneer civilization.

"Yes, have we mastered the use of the Mind Gem so far?" Qiao Lu asked straight to the point.

Zhang Bin sighed and replied, "I can say yes, but not completely. The Mind Gem, like the Space Gem, loses all of its stored energy every time it traverses the plane. If you want it to work again, you have to inject energy into it from the outside. ”

"According to our current research, if you use a planetary engine to power it, you can form a mental barrier, and the biological weapons controlled by mental transfer can only come out of it, and once you enter the barrier, the spiritual connection will be forcibly disconnected."

"If further superconducting ore is used for energy, the planetary engine will be strengthened into a telepathic tower, and people in the control room can not only sense creatures at great distances, but also exert mental interference on what they observe, including disturbing their thinking and even brainwashing and control. But the current research is too dangerous for us to put it into practice. ”

Qiao Lu asked curiously, "What kind of risk?" ”

Zhang Bin replied: "For the user's mental risk, opening the mental barrier will not cause much burden to the insiders, but once entering the control room of the telepathy tower, ordinary people will almost immediately have a mental breakdown, even the Transformers can't support it for a few seconds, so it is difficult to put it into practice." ”

Sure enough, telepathy is always a double-edged sword, especially after the Mind Gem can no longer provide infinite energy, and trying to use it will be even more challenging for the user.

It is still difficult for the Wandering Earth to fully exert the power of the Mind Gem.

"Wait a minute, ordinary people ······" Qiao Lu suddenly muttered thoughtfully.

As Zhang Bin said, of course, it is difficult for normal people to support the mental burden caused by the use of mind gems, but if they are people who have been strengthened in this area, will they be able to control this ability?

Naturally, what Joe had in mind was the special research project [Perfect T-Virus Modification] that he had just obtained from the Resident Evil Plane not long ago!

On the one hand, the perfect T-virus evolutionary has its own mental power that is different from that of ordinary people. On the other hand, the modification of the perfect T virus also means that the first-order gene lock is unlocked, which itself can greatly improve the information processing ability of the human brain.

Therefore, if it can be combined with the [Perfect T-Virus Transformation], the Soul Gem, which is a particularly difficult Infinity Stone, can also exert its true power!
