Chapter 67: The Darling of the World
Sun Zhan and Yu Jia glanced at each other, and there was relaxation in their eyes. He smiled, "I didn't trust you completely until now. ”
"Why?"
"Absorb the energy of the Life Stone, and you are truly our kind, and the dark will never contain you."
"But I've already drawn the power of the Life Stone." Huang Quan raised his eyebrows slightly, Sun Zhan's statement was so consistent with the original Great Elder of the Settlement.
"Except for Yu Jia, no one here can see the nature of the energy in other people's bodies, and I naturally have to see such a major event with my own eyes. In fact, even if you don't bring it up, I will ask you to carry the Life Stone before you act. As long as you come into contact with the Life Stone, you will be assimilated by its power, and even if you are a cannibal, you will be purified into a human. ”
"What?"
Huangquan was another accident. When Flying Arrow said that humans would become ogres, he was puzzled, the two species were completely different in terms of structure and physiology, and finally thought that it was a biological anomaly in this world.
Now he actually hears that the process is still reversible?
Sun Zhan said: "I was also surprised when I first heard about it, but it is true. According to the records, two hundred years ago, the shelter conducted a series of experiments, and found that under different doses of life stone energy, ogres will have different changes, basically disintegrating their bodies and tissues. But when the Life Stone energy crosses a certain tipping point, the ogre organization will disintegrate and reorganize, and eventually, they will become humans. ”
"Is it just appearance, or is it a biological person?"
"It's a real person, even the genes are the same."
"What about probability?"
"About thirty percent."
The conversion rate of 30% is enough to tell the story. Although the majority of failures are caused, it may be caused by other factors, such as excessive damage during the disintegration process, to the point of irreparable damage, and so on.
Huang Quan pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the conclusions of these experiments?" ”
"We human beings are the children of life and the darlings of the world."
Huang Quan opened his mouth, but finally did not speak. This conclusion sounds like there is some truth, cannibals and humans are completely different species, but as soon as they are transformed by the power of the Life Stone, they are actually transformed into humans.
Speaking of which, human beings are indeed very much like children of life.
In this world, the Stone of Life is everything to human beings, and its status is simply more important than that of a void god. Therefore, it seems that it is not wrong for human beings to call themselves the darlings of the world.
But looking at the current state of the sanctuary and the little place it occupies in the overwhelming green sea, this kind of darling of the world is really a little funny.
No matter what Huang Quan thought in his heart, he didn't feel the need to bother with this tongue, so he just asked, "What happened after the experiment?" Are there more experiments, can high-level cannibals be transformed, are transformed humans stable, and can they integrate into our society? ”
Sun Zhan said: "The results of this experiment were too shocking, and in order to prevent panic, the first batch of transformed ogres at that time were secretly executed. Later, as the power of the Life Stone declined, there was no extra energy left to experiment. At that time, there were still tens of thousands of people in the shelter, and unlike now, the population was in crisis. ”
At this point, Huang Quan knew almost everything he wanted to know.
Sun Zhan said to Yu Jia: "Take him to the underground Creation Hall and open up the power of the Life Stone." ”
"Where's the amount?"
Sun Shixue thought for a moment and said, "There is no upper limit." ”
Although Yu Jia had been mentally prepared, he was still very surprised, looked at Sun Zhan, and then looked at Huang Quan, but in the end he didn't say anything. Huang Quan smiled and said, "It is worthy of being an archon, a smart decision." ”
Sun Zhan said: "If you don't give you the Life Stone, you'll probably have to rob it yourself, right?" ”
Huang Quan pointed out the window and said, "Look at what the shelter looks like now, the last bit of energy of the Life Stone shouldn't be so wasted. At the very least, there's a chance I'll be able to get you out of this damn place. ”
Hearing the last sentence, Sun Zhan's eyebrows raised slightly.
"I can't move, so I won't accompany you downstairs." Sun Zhan smiled, then pushed the wheelchair to the bookshelf, took off a book and opened it, and read quietly.
Huang Quan glanced at the cover, and the beautiful italicized words on it were "Shelley's Poems". He didn't react to this anymore, the settlements in the rainforest were already passed down by word of mouth, and there were no pictures and texts left, and the consul actually had a collection of poems here.
Thinking about the extreme differentiation between the top and bottom of the cannibal society, Huang Quan felt that he could be at ease if he encountered anything in this hellish world in the future.
Yu Jia left this weird and secluded courtyard with Huang Quan, came to the central barracks, greeted the guards, and walked into the gate with Huang Quan.
The gaze of the two guards looking at Huang Quan was no longer the indifference and numbness at the beginning, in addition to fear and hatred, there was more vague worship. They all saw with their own eyes how Huang Quan stunned the heavenly fire with a crushing force. Worshipping the strong is also a tradition in the military.
Entering the gate, I passed through three guarded checkpoints before entering the underground and coming to a gate. There is an instrument on the side of the door, which is covered with clear glass with a faint blue light.
Huang Quan felt that this instrument was a little familiar, and then he saw Yu Jia come to the instrument, put his eyes on it, and in a moment the light of the kung fu instrument turned green, and the door slowly opened.
It's iris recognition! Once again, Huang Quan was amazed by the Sanctuary's technology.
The human technology in this world is very chaotic, and the big industry can't talk about it at all, but he can get the iris recognition, which really makes Huang Quan feel logically confused along with his brain.
He feels this way whenever he collects a little bit of the basics of the world and tries to organize it.
Huang Quan admires the human scientists in this world very much, just like a child who has not yet grown up, extremely smart, but has no plan, and the development of science and technology is completely east and west, and he can come as he wants.
The amazing thing is that without even a lot of front-end technology, you can create something behind it out of thin air. Thinking of the formulas of the different processes in the Furnace of Everything, which actually took effect in the form of prayers, Huang Quan felt a toothache.
There were also two machine-gun emplacements behind the gate, which were manned by four fighters. The Stone of Life is the heart and foundation of the shelter.
After entering the gate, there is a magnificent hall, twenty meters high, and in the center stands the trunk of a giant tree with a diameter of nearly ten meters, and various instruments are attached to the tree, and many fist-sized pipes are interspersed in the roots and tendrils of the tree, and the light in it flows, transmitting the energy of the Life Stone to all directions.
And the roots also faintly overflow with light, which also carries the energy of the Life Stone.
In Huangquan's perception, the trunk of the entire giant tree was emitting a strong light, and it was like a small sun hidden inside, constantly exuding holy radiance.
Yu Jia came to the console, entered a long list of passwords on it, and then pointed her pupils at the window on the console.
When the iris verification passed, countless instruments began to start and operate, and the energy of the Life Stone in all directions was reduced, and the Dao Light Flow gathered into a metal barrel in the center.
The light grew thicker and thicker, and finally converged in one place, followed by a soft snap, and the bottom of the instrument opened, sliding out a gem the size of a fingernail.
This is the Stone of Life, which was originally made in this way in the shelter.
"Let's see, is there enough energy in this Life Stone? How many more blocks do you need? ”
Huang Quan took the Stone of Life.
Although it is small in size, the energy contained in it is rich and pure, and the total amount is not too much to lose to the life stone in the settlement. There are three small pieces of such a life stone that can be about the same as the arm-sized life stone in the settlement.
"When the settlement was separated, was it the same with the Life Stones that were taken away?"
"That kind of life stone has a lower energy density because it needs more stability and growth, but it's about the same."
Huang Quan held the Stone of Life in his palm, closed his eyes and did not move, and after a moment he opened his eyes, and when he opened his palm again, the Stone of Life had disappeared.
Yu Jia couldn't hide her shock: "You have already absorbed it?" ”
"Yes." Huang Quan nodded.
"How can it be so fast?" Yu Jia couldn't help but say.
Seeing Huang Quan's puzzled eyes, her heart trembled somehow, and she hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid it will take us at least a month to absorb such a stone of life. In fact, there are not many people who can absorb that much energy. In the entire shelter, there are only Archons, Tianhuo, me and Luan Jie. ”
Huang Quan nodded, "I see, I may have a slightly different physique." Well, I'll have a few more. ”
