Chapter 29 Kittens
When Mebius entered the university institute in Morninglight City, there was still a glimmer of evening sunset in the sky, and at first Mebius actually had some expectations for the city's institute, although she believed that the vast majority, or at least 99.99%, of the researchers in the world could not match themselves in their most specialized fields.
But even if there is no breakthrough in the research of these researchers, as long as it can bring her the possibility of some experiments that she has not imagined, a breakthrough direction that she has not imagined before, then Mebius is not in vain, in fact, Mebius has often accepted invitations or visits from some research institutions before, although most of the research institutions can not bring her any benefits, but at least the experimental data they have studied can also tell Mebius some possible future directions, Or to test ideas she had conceived but hadn't actually experimented with.
However, Mebius soon felt a real disappointment, and soon after she entered the research institute, she saw what the researchers were studying, a Honkai energy generator, a normal isolation chamber, some animals that had been altered by Honkai energy radiation, and then they were studying the reasons for the changes in these animals, and what the animals could do after the changes, and so on and so forth.
Mebius even saw a lot of animals that had undergone strange distortions, these animals were not called Honkai beasts, but they gradually did not look like they were native species on the earth, and those researchers were even complacent, thinking that they seemed to have come into contact with God's realm, and could catalyze the distortion of animals through the energy of Honkai, because the energy of Honkai is too much better than radiation, and radiation can also mutate creatures, but that mutation is uncontrollable. Honkai, on the other hand, can manipulate this mutation.
The biggest takeaway for these researchers is the paper that leads biological mutation under certain circumstances, and they even hope that this paper will be appreciated by Mebius, so that the Mandate of Heaven headquarters will continue to invest in them again.
After all, although they have submitted this paper before, it seems that it has not attracted much attention.
These people naturally don't know that even if they submit papers like theirs, they will not fall into the hands of Mebius, because even if they are Mebius's assistants, Klein can distinguish between good and bad papers, and papers like this will be brushed down by Klein as early as possible, because Mebius has a heavy daily task, and he has no time to study the sea of papers in the Mandate of Heaven, and only the papers selected by Berklein that seem to have some value in her opinion will be seen by Mebius.
However, the actions of these researchers were not without gain, at least they gave Mebius a clear idea of what kind of mediocrity these people really were.
On the last day, as Mebius was about to leave the seminar, her cold face showed no mercy, and she asked, "Do you really know about Honkai?" ”
Hearing this, the scholars looked at each other, isn't Honkai a special energy source? Coming from the imaginary space, it is an energy that has not been discovered by human beings so far.
But they don't need to fully understand how energy is born when they use this energy, just like people used to use the sun, and they never knew how the sun fused, how it turned that energy into light radiation, how it crossed the distance between the earth and the sun, how it passed through the atmosphere and fell on their faces? But they will at least use the warmth of the sun to bask in the sun during the day, whether it is drying quilts or clothes, it does not affect their use.
In the eyes of these scholars, Honkai is just a good-to-use, usable energy.
Mebius didn't hear the scholars' response, of course she didn't actually care, she just continued: "If you really understand Honkai, you will know that Honkai is not a toy in your laboratory, it is a real living disaster, it is not a controllable energy source, if you continue like this, continue your experiments, sooner or later it will completely swallow you up." ”
Mebius gave such a warning, and the scholars looked at each other, but they didn't expect this to be the result, but they nodded yes on the surface, but no one really took Mebius's warning to heart.
Although many people admire Mebius's fame and the results of her research, in their hearts, Mebius and them are not people on the same track after all, in their eyes, Mebius may be studying basic science, and they are the real research and application, studying how to apply Honkai to life.
Although Mebius arrived, she was only a passer-by, and her warning was nothing more than alarmism, and their only disappointment was that Mebius did not give some advice on their research results, and they probably would not be allowed to receive research support from the Mandate Headquarters in the future.
But they won't give up, the research is still going on, the research will continue.
When Mebius saw Moffett again, he did not hesitate to show his anger, "If there is a study like this next time, don't look for me again, these people don't understand what Honkai is at all, didn't you tell them the information inside the Mandate of Heaven?" ”
Moffett couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Of course I've shown them your work, but with all due respect, many of them think your paper is nothing more than alarmism, just a conjecture that hasn't been proven yet." ”
"I'm not kidding, if their research continues, you'll just wait for the city to be completely destroyed!" Mebius said, her words more like a prophecy than a warning, predicting that one day the city would be destroyed by the catastrophe caused by the collapse.
Moffett was noncommittal, he just said, "Dr. Mebius, I've found the best guide for Twilight Street, now do you want to meet her?" ”
"Bring her to my conference hall, and I'm going to enter Dusk Street as soon as we communicate, I've wasted three days, and I don't want the variables to get bigger." Mebius said, turning around and leaving with Klein.
Moffett also instructed the people next to him to bring the 'kitten' they had found from Dusk Street to the conference hall.
Then looking at the figure of Mebius leaving, Moffett's mind shifted to the research of the researchers, this is just a temptation, in fact, in the city of Morninglight, there are many more heinous experiments, not just wild animals or specially cultivated creatures, although the experiments on these animals and creatures alone are enough to be called inhumane.
Scholars ignore the fact that the experimental animals often struggle to survive and experience unimaginable pain before they die, and only care whether the results of the experiments can lead to the desired breakthrough.
It's also worth mentioning that humans are actually one of those specific creatures, after all, no matter what the results of the research on Honkai are, they will eventually have an effect on the humans themselves.
Mebius made her way to the conference room specially arranged for her, and leaned back on the leather couch, where Klein sorted out all the materials he might need in the future.
At this time, I don't know why, the inexplicable Mebius suddenly broke the sound of Klein constantly flipping through the paper, and Mebius said flatly: "Klein, what do you think of these scholars? ”
Klein thought for a while and then responded: "Dr. Mebius, I think the scholars in this city are not rigorous in their experiments, they are not fully prepared for the study of Honkai and started the experiment arbitrarily, the Honkai energy emitter is made of ordinary Honkai energy reactors, and the isolation device is only a simple layer, if an accident occurs, the Honkai Beast is born from those experiments, which may cause great casualties." ”
Mebius nodded when she heard this, but she continued: "Actually, it is very simple, that is, these people lack the most basic reverence for life itself, and they themselves seem to be so dismissive of the supreme proposition of life! ”
Mebius immediately pointed out the problems of these researchers themselves, whether it is indifference to the energy source of Honkai, or indifference to those experimental instruments, or those experimental animals, in fact, the most fundamental reason is that these researchers lack the most basic reverence for life itself.
Maybe those researchers also have their reasons, such as lack of funds, and too many experiments to be carried out to take care of every experiment, in short, there are all kinds of reasons, and they are not like Mebius.
In the laboratory of the Mandate of Heaven headquarters, Mebius and Celestial Destiny must use the best experimental equipment, which often makes the laboratory she presided over often run a financial deficit, and even Mebius and Klein eat cheap instant noodles every day to survive, after all, instant noodles are cheap and do not take much time to make, and a bowl of hot instant noodle soup can replenish the electrolytes that Mebius has lacked after a long period of mental and physical work, so that she can quickly return to work after a period of rest.
And Mebius's reputation in the Mandate of Heaven headquarters does not seem to be much different from these, the ordinary researchers in the city, and within the Mandate of Heaven, there are even many rumors that Mebius will conduct experiments on the Valkyrie at will, thinking that she is a monster and a scientist with no humanity.
But in fact, there is a world of difference between the two sides, every experiment of Mebius, every piece of data, is carefully checked many times before she opens, and even before the experiment she will try on herself, and only after making sure that it is correct will she use it on others.
In other words, most of the experiments conducted by Mebius have been carried out on herself herself, which is also the reason why Mebius, as a scientist who does not exercise often, can have a physique and strength comparable to that of an A-level or even S-class Valkyrie, the only thing that limits her is her not outstanding combat experience.
And the main reason why Mebius has such a bad reputation may be related to her usual style, or is it the result of a certain bishop's covert manipulation?
But the truth is no longer known.
What Mebius did, in fact, Klein also knew very clearly, after all, after Blanca's departure, Klein was the most important person in Mebius's research institute, except for Mebius, and Mebius's experiments were able to continue, thanks to Klein's assistance.
If there's anyone in the world who knows Mebius best, it's probably Klein.
She knew Mebius even better than Bishop Otto and more about Blanca.
Klein continued to organize the information on her own, she didn't say much, but used her actions to show that she still believed in Mebius, or that she never doubted anything, Klein had long known that Mebius was far more fearful of life than anyone else in this world.
Mebius didn't know why she suddenly wanted to say this, or that she suddenly wanted to explain it to Klein, and she suddenly didn't know what to say halfway through.
Because just as Klein trusted her, she actually trusted and relied on Klein.
In a world dominated by cold scientific reason, understanding and support like this between them is particularly precious.
"Look." Mebius suddenly stood up and stared out the window, and she said, "These mediocre scholars are only concerned with building their imaginary theoretical kingdom in ivory towers, but they ignore the real pain of life.
Honkai is not just a scientific problem, it is a living, bloody reality that lies before our eyes. ”
After a moment of silence, Klein suddenly flipped through the suitcase next to him, and then walked up to Mebius, holding two boxes of instant noodles in her hands, and said, "Doctor, it's time to eat." ”
Mebius was also immediately attracted back by this practical problem, "I want the share of pickled peppers." ”
Klein's eyes sharpened suddenly, and fortunately, there were two pickled pepper flavors in the box.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room, and several guards pushed open the door of the laboratory after receiving a response, holding a little girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.
The girl stared at the two people in the room with a frightened expression, and when she saw the white lab coats they were wearing, she thought of all kinds of strange rumors that often circulated in the twilight streets, and suddenly her teeth began to chatter, like a kitten that had been grabbed and tied hand and foot, and could intimidate the enemy by hauling.
