Chapter 766: The Iron Man Project
"Well, it started with an accident a year ago."
The white-clothed entourage explained, "At that time, in order to collect a rare metal close to the mantle, a special mining team under the Beidou Group was conducting extreme depth drilling and mining tests in the depths of a trench in the Pacific Ocean.
"Unfortunately, due to the leakage of underground aura, the concentration limit was exceeded, and an explosion occurred.
"The violent explosion that destroyed the relay station, the gushing of magma from the bottom of the sea and the backflow of seawater, flattening the relay station like a thin-skinned can, such a devastating catastrophe that theoretically could not have survivors.
Seven days later, however, when rescuers arrived at the trench in mini-submarines, they miraculously found three survivors who survived because they were covered in ...... Metal. β
"Waitβ"
Sha Lao said, "What does it mean to 'cover your body with metal'?" β
"In some incredible way, their bodies are fused with minerals containing rare metals, like another layer of gold, silver, copper and iron on the surface of their skin, and the life magnetic field has become extremely powerful."
The white-clothed entourage said, "Among the three survivors, there is a mining engineer, a mechanic, and an expert in materials science, none of whom have received combat training, especially the materials science expert, and they are powerless scholars, however, in the case of extreme insanity, their attack forcibly tore apart the three unmanned deep-sea probes - you know, in order to resist the pressure of the deep sea, the shell of this detector is made of the most advanced nanoalloy materials, and even the cannon is close to bombardment, may not be able to penetrate it. β
Sha Lao nodded and said, "It's a little interesting, go on." β
The white-clothed entourage said: "The Beidou Group is very interested in the injuries and mutations of these three employees, you must know that in today's revival of aura, life science has become the first discipline of human civilization, and the industries of life science, cultivation, superpowers, immortal cultivation and magic are all promising sunrise industries, if the Beidou Group can really make a difference in this regard, its market value, scale and stock price will definitely be able to make explosive breakthroughs."
"Therefore, the Beidou Group invested a lot of money and found the alliance No. 1 Medical University, the leading alliance in the field of life sciences, to cooperate with the three survivors and explore the mystery of their fusion with metal."
Sha Lao thought for a moment and said, "Is it really possible for flesh and blood to merge with metal?" β
"Theoretically, it's possible."
The white-clothed entourage said, "The human body itself contains a large number of trace elements of the metal system, even if the iron elements in the body of ordinary people are all extracted, the amount is considerable, of course, in the case of metal composition far exceeding the 'trace amount', how to maintain the strong function of organs and muscles, and exert excellent combat effectiveness while not harming the normal operation of the human body, this is what the Beidou Group and the Alliance First Medical University want to figure out."
"It is said that their research has made a breakthrough, as if the key to metal fusion is related to the fact that three cyborgs were seriously injured."
Sha Lao said: "What do you say? β
"The essence of the so-called cultivation or exercise is actually to tear the muscle fibers again and again through overload exercise, and then through the over-repair of high-energy nutrients, the muscle fibers become more expanded and strong."
The white-clothed attendant said, "So, if the muscle fibers and even the body cells are severely torn, and the whole person is about to be shattered at the moment of death, what will happen if it is not a high-energy nutrient embedded in the tear, but some rare metal element that contains powerful spiritual energy?"
"This was the case in the explosion of the mining base deep under the sea, the flesh and blood of the three survivors were first bombarded by the shock wave, then burned by the magma that surged up, and finally torn and squeezed by the seawater, not to mention the muscle fibers, and even every cell was nearly ruptured.
"At the last moment, a liquid rare metal containing abundant spiritual energy invaded their bodies in an incredible way, along the wound.
"Under normal circumstances, the human body has a strong rejection reaction to the invasion of excess metals.
But at that time, the three survivors were in the midst of a state of dying, and their bodies were surging with an extremely strong desire to survive, desperately searching for all the high-energy substances that could repair their bodies, even the metal substances that the body could not absorb, in order to find a glimmer of life.
"That's how the principle is, of course, this is the roughest explanation, in fact, it also requires the cooperation of many conditions, such as the strong magnetic field mutation in the mining base, the special physique of the three survivors, their affinity for metal elements, and rare metals turned into a liquid state under the action of high temperature and high pressure, and a large amount of spiritual energy was injected, resulting in dense and invisible 'spiritual bubbles' inside the liquid metal...... In short, the right time, place and people are indispensable.
"At that time, there were hundreds of workers in the entire mining site, and in the end, there were only three survivors, which shows how difficult it is to reproduce this phenomenon."
Sha Lao nodded slightly, keenly grasping the key point: "I heard you just now that the human body must be severely torn before it is possible to absorb this rare metal containing high-energy aura, so, is the body of our Xu Jun child seriously torn?" β
"This, theoretically speaking, was blasted by the 'blood of the devil', and the limbs, the eight veins of the strange meridians, and the cell tissues were of course all torn to the point that they could not be torn anymore."
The white-clothed entourage said with some embarrassment, "However, this Xu Jun has been recuperating for more than a year, and the original tears have turned into old wounds, if you really want to join the 'Iron Man Project' jointly between the Beidou Group and the First Medical University of the Alliance, I am afraid you need to ...... Another superdose and concentration of 'demonic blood' to reproduce the whole process of muscle tearing and cell shattering is an extremely painful and dangerous thing, and I personally do not recommend him to do it. β
"Hmm......"
Sha Lao knocked on the table noncommittally and threw out another question, "Are the three survivors who participated in the 'Iron Man Project' now recovered, and how are they doing, I mean, strong?" β
"Strong, absolutely strong!"
The white-clothed entourage said without hesitation, "The materials science expert among the three survivors has successfully completed all the treatments and tests, and returned to work - the Beidou Group has just hit the mine to a depth of 60 kilometers in the extreme depth drilling experiment, and this materials scientist, only carrying the simplest protective equipment, has been active for 72 hours at 60 kilometers underground, and has carried out various precise and complex operations, which is an out-and-out 'iron man'!" β
"Deep underground, high temperature and high pressure, even coal can be squeezed into diamonds, and even steel can be melted into iron juice.
Sha Lao muttered to himself, browsed a few similar projects at random, looked up and smiled at Chu Ge, "You have heard them all, projects similar to 'repair injuries and surpass the peak', all major institutions in the alliance are unfolding, but all of them are extremely dangerous, the adventure of nine deaths and life, it takes great willpower and great luck to succeed, are you sure that your little brother Xu Jun really wants to give up his current peaceful and safe life and launch an indomitable challenge to his own destiny?" β
Chu Ge pondered for a moment, it was a matter of Xu Jun's fate, it was not up to him to decide, Chu Ge said cautiously: "Can I ask Xu Jun his own opinion?" β
"Of course."
Sha Lao said, "Later, I will ask Xiao Zhang to print out a copy of all the projects suitable for Xu Jun to show you, and you can also give Xu Jun a general introduction, but remember, these projects are top secret, you must destroy them immediately after reading them, you can't bring them out of the extraordinary association, after telling Xu Jun, he must not disclose it to a third party, this is discipline, so I don't need to say more, right?" β
"Understood!"
Xu Jun's matter was solved for the most part, and Chu Ge felt a big stone in his heart fall to the ground, hurriedly straightened his waist, and said happily.
"Alright, I've helped you, now it's your turn to solve my problem, little one?" Sha Lao said with a smile.
