Chapter 16: Is Xiaobai Sick?
followed the silver beard and long arm into the wooden house, and saw Xiaobai lying on the bed, dying, sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Jiang Feng stretched out his hand and pressed it on his forehead, quickly retracting his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
It's hot!
"Zhi Brain, scan his physical condition."
【Scanning......】
[Dense stardust energy response detected in brain region]
[The specific cause is unknown]
Looking at the silver beard and the long arm, Jiang Feng commanded.
"Get the trailer and take him to my residence."
"Yes."
The two Samon hurriedly ran out, while Jiang Feng turned around and returned to the shelter halfway up the mountain. Almost as soon as he reached the door, two Samons, one behind the other, carrying the trailer board, had already run up from the bottom of the hill with a snort.
Brought Xiaobai into the experimental area and put it in the culture tank, then Jiang Feng reached out and clicked on the touchpad, injected the culture liquid into the culture tank, and activated the whole body scanning system.
【Brain domain scan successful】
Pale blue particles of light converge in the air, and above the silvery-white disk, they form a three-dimensional holographic image of the small white brain domain. Jiang Feng noticed that at the back of the small white pituitary gland, a white crystal the size of a peanut was formed.
Slender blood vessels and tiny neurons encased the crystal, which had become one with his brain. Obviously, it was impossible to remove this thing from his head through brain surgery.
"Brain, scan that crystal." Jiang Feng said silently in his heart.
【Received】
After a concise response, a pale blue light shot out from the outer wall of the culture tank, focusing on the back of Xiaobai's head. The intelligent brain connected to the equipment in the experimental area was no longer limited to the perception of the implanter itself, and with the powerful information collection ability of the biological scanner, the composition of the white crystal was quickly analyzed.
[Confirm that the source of the stardust energy reaction is the target crystal]
[The results of the crystal composition scan are as follows......]
A long list of molecular formulas, presented in the center of the holographic screen. Through the comparison of similarity, Jiang Feng found that the composition and structure of this white crystal were similar to the crystals he took out of the back of the crocodile's head, reaching an astonishing ninety percent!
With such a small piece of white crystal, the stardust index has reached 2, which is equivalent to 2 tons of gold.
With a slight movement in his heart, Jiang Feng immediately started the 3D printer, input the energy and materials necessary for the synthesis of organic matter, and printed an identical white crystal according to the molecular formula and spatial arrangement structure of this white crystal.
"Brain, detect the stardust content of this biocrystal."
【Testing......】
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
It didn't take long for the test results to appear on Jiang Feng's retina.
[Stardust content is too low to observe]
……
Port Sevit, a colony on the western border of the kingdom, far from the continent of Aditya.
More than a hundred years ago, the colonists of the kingdom of Rick, following in the footsteps of Captain Agris, set foot on this land, expanding the kingdom's borders to the west for a hundred nautical miles.
Under the leadership of Captain Agris, the colonists built stone houses, reclaimed wasteland to grow cotton, built a huge harbor, and built walls to defend against wild beasts. And after the death of Captain Agris, the successor governor lived up to expectations.
Today, what was once a deserted coastline has grown into a town of 3,000 people. Timber and cotton filled the colony's storehouses, and precious crocodile skins and other animal skins hung on wooden shelves in front of the harbor......
The only fly in the ointment is that due to a small accident on the side of the Rick Kingdom in recent years, it is rare to see ships visiting here in the past two years.
In order to solve this problem, the current colonial governor, Frege Vicky, even had to turn a blind eye to the smuggling merchant ships. Because now they were the only ones who could satisfy the colony's demand for goods such as grain and iron tools.
On the higher ground in the southern part of the colony, on a granite stone wall, sits the tallest watchtower in the entire colony.
Relations between the colonists and half-elves have been tense since they clashed over territory a hundred years ago. The reason why this watchtower was built so high was to monitor the movements of the half-elves.
At this moment, on the watchtower, a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic costume is standing, holding a gold-rimmed monocular, motionless in the direction of the southern tip of the island.
Standing next to him was the sheriff of the colony, with a half-curved cuirass and an elongated bayonet sword that symbolized status under his unshaven chin. At this moment, his finger was pointing straight to the northern end of the island.
"At the southern end of the island, behind the Half Moon Valley, there is smoke rising." With his half-inch beard shaking up and down, Sheriff Coney reported his discovery to Baron Frege, the colonial governor beside him.
"Damn half-elves?" The telescope on the hooked nose didn't move half a minute, and Baron Frege asked in a nonchalant tone.
"You know, those pointy ears never make a fire to cook." Connie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's the shipwrecked sailor, maybe someone else." ”
As if aware of this, Frege's eyebrows, which had been careless, furrowed slightly.
Putting away the binoculars, his gaze still did not leave the valley at the edge of the forest, and he whispered to himself.
"Could it be someone from the Duchy of Wilton?"
The Duchy of Wilton, bordering the kingdom of Rick to the south. Although they are far from the Duchy of Rick in terms of land size and manpower and material resources, the wealth they have accumulated through maritime trade is enough to exert influence that all kingdoms on the continent of Aditya are afraid of.
Like his old neighbors, the Duchy of Wilton, which was also a seafaring power, naturally saw the kingdom of Rick as a rival in its own struggle for sea power. Businessmen from both countries don't like each other, and trade disputes often lead to misfires.
The Duchy of Wilton has always coveted the Rick Kingdom's colony on Crocodile Island, but the port has never been open to the merchants of the Duchy Wilton, even in the most difficult of times. Hearing that the Duchy of Wilton was expanding its fleet recently, Baron Frege had reason to suspect that the Duchy of Wilton might take advantage of the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Rick to reach out to the beautiful and rich Isle of Crocodile.
Hearing that it might be someone from the Duchy of Wilton, Connie's expression between his eyebrows was much more solemn.
Faced with the doge, who was lost in thought, he cautiously offered his own proposal.
"I suggest sending someone over and having a look...... If it's the people of the Duchy of Wilton, we can strike before they gain a foothold on this island. ”
"But those pointy ears won't agree to us walking through their forest." Baron Frege said.
"We can send a sailing ship and an expedition by water," Coney proposed again, "and if it's a shipwrecked sailor or merchant, we'll bring them back to the colony." If it's a Duchy Wilton ship parked there, we'll take a chance to burn it! ”
