Chapter 972: The Problem of the Qiankun Ring
Five days later, three hundred kilometers west of the city of chaos was above the sea.
A demon warship disguised as a gray whale surfaced silently, spewing a huge column of water into the gray sky.
In the demon battleship, Li Yao gathered to observe the situation of the trouble-free city through the biochemical eyes hidden in the water column.
Three hundred kilometers away, it was naturally impossible to see the details clearly, and could only sense the chaotic magnetic field and the blazing demon flames in the sky above the Chaos City.
The city had just experienced a major battle, and it was still cloudy at the moment, surrounded by the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance.
In the sea area ahead, there are the elite of the Sea Clan in the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance, and the demon warship of the Chaos Blade does not dare to get closer, so they can only send Li Yao here.
Next, it's up to him alone.
Li Yao refused to be accompanied by others.
On the one hand, the three tactical teams of the Tianhuo Organization have not yet been formed, and they must race against time to cultivate in order to cope with the more important tasks in the future.
Besides, infiltrating a chaotic city occupied by a large army and besieged and bringing a person out is not a task that the more people you have, the better.
With Li Yao's current strength, unless he is a comrade-in-arms of the Fire Ant King level, taking someone else there is just a mess for him.
If even he can't complete a task, then it will be in vain to bring another hundred and eighty people with him!
"President."
Yu Chiba stood behind Li Yao and said respectfully, "The overall structure of the Chaos Free City, including the hundreds of secret passages mixed in the sewers when we built the city, are all stored in your crystal brain, with these secret passages, you can appear in any place in the Chaos City silently, of course, the premise is to pass through the submarine defense line guarded by the Sea Clan first. ”
"Understood."
Li Yao nodded, "You guys are waiting for me here, keep an eye on the movements of the Chaos Free City at any time, if everything goes well, I can bring Jin Xinyue out in half a day, if something goes wrong." Then you will go to the three follow-up points and join me in one day, three days, and seven days, and if you don't find my presence at these three points. Then don't wait, go back to the Secret Shadow Domain, Jin Xinyue and I will figure it out by ourselves. ”
"Huh!"
Li Yao's right index finger and middle finger gently pressed against the center of his eyebrows, and extracted the Xuan Bone Battle Armor from the Qiankun Ring.
The newborn Xuan Bone Battle Armor was like a viscous black liquid that enveloped his whole body, instantly solidifying. Blooming into a hideous form like fangs, the seemingly withered muscle bundles and carapace continued to expand, spewing out a strong demonic aura, and even around the Xuan Bone Battle Armor, it condensed into black spirals, making everyone on the demon battleship couldn't help but tremble in their calves.
Such a posture, if it is seen by a cultivator who knows nothing, it will definitely be like a great enemy, thinking that it is the arrival of a peerless demon lord!
"It's still too exaggerated, this time it's really a mistake!"
Li Yao frowned secretly.
In the transformation of the Xuan Bone Battle Armor. Adding a large number of biochemical materials, making it develop in the direction of the perfect combination of crystal armor and biochemical war beasts, although this idea greatly improved the performance of the Xuan Bone Battle Armor, it brought a problem that Li Yao had never thought about before.
That is, the Xuan Bone Battle Armor, which is covered with a large amount of active cell material on the surface, cannot be stored with the Qiankun Ring!
Generally speaking, the Qiankun Ring cannot be used to preserve living things.
This is because the operating principle of most Qiankun rings is to compress the molecular structure of three-dimensional objects into a "four-dimensional crystal" with a higher "density" through the principle of hyperfolding. When it needs to be extracted, it is then decompressed in reverse to re-unfold the "four-dimensional crystal" in three-dimensional space.
For example, a newspaper is too big to spread out. It's hard to carry, so crumple it up and squeeze it hard, so it can easily fit into a very small space.
This is the principle of compression from a "two-dimensional plane" to a "three-dimensional crystallization".
When you want to read it again, you can unzip the "paper ball" and lay it out. Revert to a two-dimensional planar state.
As you can imagine, when a newspaper is crumpled up and re-unfolded, its surface must be full of creases, and at the microscopic level, which is not visible to the naked eye, a large number of fibers must have broken.
The storage of the Qiankun ring is the same, in the process of compression and decompression, it will cause a certain degree of subtle damage to the substance.
An inanimate dead object can ignore this subtle injury and maintain its original nature and function, just like a crumpled newspaper that can read and carry information normally.
However, cells that are extremely active, especially brain cells that are used for thinking, can hardly resist such damage.
Whether it is the human race or the demon race, there are countless powers, and they have studied the subject of using the Qiankun Ring to store living things.
However, the best result of their research for tens of thousands of years is only through the protection of a special rune array, so that some cells can maintain a minimum of activity in the Qiankun Ring.
Li Yao once used a special fresh-keeping talisman array to store a large amount of food in the Qiankun Ring, and within a few years, he could ensure the freshness of the food and the spiritual energy contained in it, which was the application of this technology in real life.
There is still a long way to go from "food" to real life.
In particular, the most subtle and fragile brain cells in living organisms may be severely damaged once they are "folded" and "unfolded", even if there is no change in appearance.
This is the reason why biochemical war beasts cannot be stored through the Qiankun Ring, after all, the core of biochemical war beasts is the biochemical brain, even if the biochemical brain does not have autonomous consciousness, but after all, it must always maintain strong activity in order to cope with astronomical information calculations.
Fortunately, the Xuan Bone Battle Armor is not a biochemical war beast, and its core is still a powerful crystal brain.
In order to stuff the brand-new Xuan Bone Battle Armor into the Qiankun Ring, experts such as Li Yao and the Fire Ant King racked their brains and came up with all kinds of whimsical methods, all of which ended in failure.
In the end, it was the Fire Ant King who came up with a solution.
Although the Qiankun Ring cannot store living things, it has no problem storing corpses.
From ancient times to the present, countless cultivators have thrown demon bones, demon pills and other materials into the Qiankun ring after hunting and killing spirit beasts and demon beasts, and what spirit grass, spirit wood and the like have been excavated, they have also thrown them into the Qiankun ring casually, and I have never heard of the difference in performance when they are extracted again.
This shows that the storage of the Qiankun ring does not damage the integrity of the cells.
A lot of crystal armor is directly refined with a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures, even if the Xuan Bone Battle Armor is after the Battle of the Bone Dragon Star. A large amount of materials were used that had been stripped from the Bone Dragon Demon's body.
In addition to the hard bones, it also included a flexible substance that was extremely malleable, and at that time, it could also be freely used with the Qiankun ring.
Therefore. Li Yao and the Fire Ant King's judgment was that if brain cells were not involved, as long as the cell activity was maintained at a very low level, it would be possible to avoid harm in the "folding" and "unfolding" of the Qiankun Ring.
Fire Ant King has long had research on this. He also developed a cytostatic around this speculation, which, after injection, will greatly reduce the activity of cells, and be in a state of 'hibernation' or 'suspended animation'.
In this way, the Fire Ant King wants to make the biochemical war beast can be stored by the Qiankun Ring, which greatly improves portability and flexibility.
However, this "hibernation agent" will cause great damage to brain cells, and the biochemical brain can no longer be "thawed" once it "hibernates". No matter how much he experimented, he couldn't improve it, so he had to give up.
The Xuan Bone Battle Armor does not use biochemical brains, so there is no problem with this, and after the injection of "hibernation agent", the strengthened cells on the surface enter a state of "hibernation", and the cell activity is reduced to the limit, and it can withstand the damage in "folding" and "unfolding".
After it is extracted from the Qiankun ring, it is injected with an activating agent to make the mitochondria in the hibernating cells burn wildly. Rejuvenated!
In this way, the storage problem of the new Xuan Bone Battle Armor has been barely solved!
Although it takes a second or two for both "hibernation" and "activation", it is a little sluggish on the rapidly changing battlefield, but after careful analysis. Li Yao still thinks that it is acceptable to exchange a few seconds for a significant increase in performance.
After all, this is a new technology and a new magic weapon that has just been born, and it is inevitable that all kinds of problems will be encountered, but the details can be solved through the improvement of technology, Li Yao has the sensitivity of a refiner. Very optimistic about the future of this new magic weapon.
The only thing that made him more dissatisfied was that when he used the activation potion to instantly awaken the biochemical cells attached to the Xuan Bone Battle Armor, it would stimulate the mitochondria in the cells to burn, releasing a steady stream of demonic energy, and even condensed into wisps of black cyclones visible to the naked eye around him, which was really eye-catching!
"Originally, I raised my strength to the limit, and Jin Dan would lead to singing."
"Now, every time you summon the crystal armor to come out, you have to stir up an overwhelming demonic aura first!"
"On one side is the music of the yin wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves, and on the other hand, the demonic energy of the volcanic eruption is agitated, which is completely the posture of the 'big devil' appearing in the dazzling phantom, which is too flamboyant and exaggerated, and it does not fit my low-key character at all!"
In just half a month, being able to make such a significant improvement in the Xuan Bone Battle Armor was beyond Li Yao's estimate, and for this small defect, he could only temporarily endure it, control the Xuan Bone Battle Armor, and dive into the depths of the sea.
500 meters, 1,000 meters, 3,000 meters...... The surroundings turned into a dark world where you couldn't see your fingers.
In front of Li Yao's eyes, a series of changes in performance parameters jumped out of the crystal brain light curtain, and the active cells on the surface of the Xuan Bone Battle Armor directly transmitted external pressure to the depths of his brain through biochemical nerves.
Two different ways to deal with it, and at the same time tell him about the effects of sea pressure.
He is not only like a high-precision diving magic weapon, but also like a fish living in the deep sea, analyzing and processing information faster than in the past, more than 30% faster than in the past, and can even sense the impact of every weak ocean current, as well as the dangerous hunter lurking in the dark depths! ――
This chapter was specially written because I saw a reader ask whether the "Xuan Bone Battle Armor" is a living or dead thing after it has been transformed, and whether it can be stored by the Qiankun Ring.
It may not have much to do with the main plot, but it is indeed a very important technical issue, and if it is not explained, it will contradict the previous statement, and the whole theoretical edifice will collapse.
So, I hope you don't dislike this chapter for procrastinating, Lao Niu also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and if he finds this problem but doesn't solve it, he can't convince himself if he ignores the past words in a self-deceptive way.
There is a fourth watch today, roar! (To be continued.) )
