Chapter 235: Metal Life
This piece of special alloy sent with Zhenjin looks similar to gold, but the density seems to be much higher, and the weight is estimated to be more than twice that of gold in terms of the size of a fist.
"You can't detect anything?" Rorschach asked, a little curiously.
"It's not that nothing, except that the alloy is particularly soft, almost non-conductive and unaffected by magnetism, and the deeper atomic structure is not detectable. There seems to be a special energy on this metal that can interfere with various detection equipment. Belcher explained.
Rorschach pinched the piece of alloy and made a fingerprint on it without much force, and it was very soft. And, in general, very few metals are completely non-conductive, especially metals in this steady state.
And this metal actually contains its own special energy, which can affect the detection instrument, which makes Rorschach even more curious.
"Then I'll try to test it with the power of the fire source." Rorschach said.
This was originally an old and serious idea, after all, even the blood of mutants and the spells of Kama Taj, and even the energy of the dark plane could be analyzed with the energy of the fire source. Rorschach believes the metal should be no exception.
Even if you can't parse it, you can get some useful information.
However, when Rorschach injected the Tinder Energy into it, he heard a cue that shocked him.
[A special metal lifeform has been detected, and a large amount of fire source energy is required to hatch this metal life...... Warning, the Tinder source energy is being plundered! 】
Rorschach only felt that his body had been hollowed out, and the fire source energy that had reached 180,000 was absorbed into this metal lump like flowing water, so fast that Rorschach didn't even have a chance to react.
Blood gushed out like he didn't want money, and Rorschach felt like the bones of his arm were almost completely shattered. This is the instantaneous output of too much energy for the body to bear.
But since acquiring the technology of force field stabilizers, this has rarely happened to Rorschach. At the moment, this metal bump was so terrifying that Rorschach sucked up most of the fire source energy without even having a chance to react.
Belcher reacted quickly, and as soon as he saw Rorschach injured, he didn't hesitate to fire a palm cannon at the metal bump. The cannon saved Rorschach's life, knocking the lump of metal out so that Rorschach would not be drained all at once.
Hurriedly injected himself with two healing potions, and Rorschach barely recovered. The agent still has negative emotional side effects, but there is no better alternative right now.
But Rorschach is not afraid, anyway, it is not difficult for him to eliminate a negative personality.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Rorschach wanted Belcher to melt down the lump of metal as soon as possible, or destroy it in someone else's way. This thing is so evil that it makes Rorschach's fire source energy uncontrollable.
But soon, Rorschach found out that this thing could not be destroyed, because he found that his fire source system did not know what was going on, and actually regarded this metal life as the last intelligent sequence.
In other words, Rorschach originally had a spare place in the intelligence sequence, but it was taken up by this metal bump.
"Belcher, if I kill this thing, can't I get the spot back?" Rorschach asked very concernedly.
Belcher said cautiously, "This ...... I can't confirm it either. The intelligent sequence is where our soul resides, and it is also the emotion that is stripped from your subconscious. Personally, I suggest that you observe it first, and you can't take any chances. ”
"That said, you're not sure if killing this guy will restore my spot?" Rorschach said.
"It can't be said that recovery, the number of intelligent sequences is limited by the upper limit of the energy of the spark source. Killing an intelligent sequence will definitely be able to create an extra control place. However, Commander, the subconscious you have been stripped of may not recover, and it is even likely to cause irreversible damage to your soul. Belcher explained.
Well, there's no way to fix this thing.
Rorschach took another look at the metal bump that Belcher had picked up and placed on the test bench. I don't know if it's a hallucination, but he always feels that this piece of metal lump seems to have grown bigger.
"Huaxia doesn't know where this thing came from, but it is said that it was obtained by accident, so I guess there is any hidden secret?" Rorschach said with a frown.
"Your Excellency, I suggest that you hatch this metal life, after all, this thing has already swallowed the intelligent sequence, and in fact, it has already completed the transformation into your loyal subordinate of the commander, just like us. Therefore, if you don't want to waste this place, it is better to hatch it. Belcher suggested.
"This thing almost killed me, do you think he'll listen to me?" Rorschach said a little disbelievingly.
"If this metal life is in an embryonic state, then the absorption of energy is probably instinctive, not necessarily subjective malice. Commander, you might as well try again with the Force Field Stabilizer. ”
Belcher's words made Rorschach a little moved, and now that the intelligence sequence was occupied, it was very painful for Rorschach. If you can not waste it, it is better not to waste it.
Following Belcher's advice, Rorschach slipped the force field stabilizer onto his hand and stroked the metal bump.
The energy of the Tinder Source poured out again, but with the help of the Force Field Stabilizer, it was not as surging as it was at the beginning. At the same time, Rorschach also had the feeling that he had when he activated the Mother and Gustav.
This is also a new life, also under the control of Rorschach, and can also be adjusted in the process of incubation. The only difference is that Rorschach seems to be able to terminate the process at any time, and this metal life is strong enough to remain intact without interrupting the Tinder source energy.
"Come, see how big your appetite is." Rorschach tried to output his Tinder energy. After a while, all the 180,000 spark source energy was injected into it, but this piece of metal lump didn't seem to be satisfied.
Now Rorschach's Tinder Energy recovers 180 points per second, and even if the Stance Stabilizer causes a certain amount of loss, the Tinder Energy injected into it is definitely more than 100 points per second. Even so, a full five hours later, the lump of metal still greedily sucked Rorschach's power.
"If it goes on like this, it's going to be gone." Rorschach said in surprise.
The fist is a big piece of metal, and it has absorbed so much fire source energy, you must know that the mother emperor the size of a whole warehouse has only absorbed more than 700,000 fire source energy. The watch-sized violet is not even a thousand energies.
The activation of the intelligence sequence, in addition to the impact of the body type on the energy consumption of the fire source, the ability also affects the energy consumption to a certain extent. And such a small piece of metal lump consumes such a huge amount of energy, which shows that the ability of this metal life is extremely strong.
Rorschach had the feeling that he had picked up a treasure, and consuming a smart sequence didn't seem to be a loss.
But after persisting for ten hours with such an idea, more than four million spark source energy was injected into it, and this metal life had not even hatched, Rorschach was a little vigilant.
Four million Tinder source energy, what a terrifying number? And this piece of metal lump doesn't seem to have changed.
It can't be said that there has been no change at all, at least from the original irregular appearance to a rounded form similar to an egg. In addition, it has become extremely hard from its original soft state, and it has truly gained the strength that metal should have.
No matter how powerful this thing was, Rorschach couldn't hold it anymore and could only suspend the energy output of the tinder source.
It's just that as soon as he stopped the energy output, Rorschach sensed an urgent emotion coming from this metal egg: "I'm hungry!" ”
