"Azara, come and try to fit with me."

In the real world, the troll opened his eyes and uttered the first words in a long span.

And if there is anyone who has a little extra annoyance in the jubilation born of research breakthroughs here, Answer is naturally his partner.

So when Nesta's bell-like words finally reached the ears of the Lady of Light in the Light, her face immediately turned a little strange......

With the deeper purple rhyme on her face, Aishara looked up and looked at her husband, who was more than 100 meters tall, and immediately felt troubled and bored, and responded with some annoyance,

"What nonsense are you talking about .... Here, with your body? Do you want me to die for everyone to see? ”

"Forehead ....."

Hearing this, Nestadan was aware of the misunderstanding.....

The long wait for successive studies seems to have given Essara a something else to look forward to, which has led to the emergence of this subtle bias at this moment;

And the elders in the field, such as thick teeth and sharp teeth, showed all kinds of smiling expressions......

In a flash of thought, Azhara herself quickly reacted, and she rolled a look at Nesta without much explanation, and walked up directly;

Then she straightened up and pressed her hands to Nesta's knees, which sat cross-legged like a hill, and even though the difference in size between the two sides made the scene a little comical, the two were completely integrated without distraction.

In just a few moments, the giant elf, whose body shape had not changed much, took shape again, and opened its eyes, which still did not know who dominated the thinking, and then murmured,

"That's ...... so"

~~~~~~~

This was just a small meeting that was held during the research break, and most of the dozen or so elves who participated in the meeting, either in real bodies or projections, were old faces that existed in the past;

Therefore, with their familiarity with both, they immediately heard the source of the speaker's consciousness in their voices, and understood that this was Nesta's thinking......

So, even when one of the thick teeth asked,

"What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

"I discussed with her just now, whoever is on the inside first will immediately return to the present world and squeeze the consciousness from the outside into it;"

At this time, Nesta Urn responded angrily,

"But Aishara hasn't done that until now....."

"So?"

"So, I shouldn't be able to enter the inside by merging anymore."

Hearing this, the elves present immediately became in an uproar.....

You must know that since the inner perspective was discovered by Nesta and Azhara in an accident, it has always been a great help to the Republic in magic research and world cognition;

But now, for the first time, there is no way to enter, which makes them have to have some additional worries.....

If this is the price of evolution, the vast majority of researchers would rather stay at the current level for the rest of their lives than seek the advancement of life in exchange for reducing their scientific research capabilities.

However, this uproar only lasted for a moment, as they soon thought of another possibility.....

"Perhaps, it's a matter of mental volume?"

"That's what I thought too....."

Sharp fangs made the guess first, and Nesta said she had the same idea.

At this point, unlike the tedious separation process of the past, Nesta easily squeezed out a stream of cells belonging to the partner from the body, and easily cut off the continuation of the union without breaking itself down.

Then, the stream of cells quickly coalesced into the form of Azhara, and after taking shape, it leaned against Nestan's massive face, and sat firmly on his shoulder.

Although it can't be compared to Nesta's efficiency during the previous period, after so many years, Eshara's body size has reached nearly 25 meters, forming a body ratio of about 1:5 with her partner;

So at this moment, in terms of body size alone, the relationship between them is not so much like a couple, but more like a father and daughter......

Of course, these details are not the focus of attention at the moment, so Nesta continued without much care,

"It should be the difference in the volume of thought, I occupy the absolute dominance of the body after merging, so I can't be randomly squeezed into it like in the past."

"So, as long as there are individuals of the same level, they can return to their original situation?"

At the shoulder, Azhara stroked the large crystal on his forehead and whispered softly.

"Well, that's right."

"But even if we start a new phase of meditation now, we need to ...... Based on the efficiency of the previous performance, it should take about a few decades to really catch up with you, right? ”

With some uncertainty, the fangs who were really here and sat with Erlang's legs crossed said,

"This step of the integration process is indeed a bit too complicated...... Leave that aside, but what should you do in the meantime? ”

Nesta only smiled lightly when she heard this, and said after nodding the magic crystal on her forehead with her index finger,

"I had a vague guess before, so I specifically kept this part of the volcanic salamander's genes that is responsible for forming the magic crystal."

As he spoke, the forehead of the magic crystal swelled like a wave, and then a fleshy whisker quickly formed to separate the crystal like a tentacle, and extended to send the purple crystal to Nesta's hand.

And after receiving it in his hand, he gently tossed the crystal, and asked with a somewhat nostalgic side head,

"Remember the time when you operated on me in the West Bank?"

Aishara nodded, indicating that the fear that came from the heart at the beginning is still unforgettable, and thoughtfully confirmed,

"I remember, the kind you described at the time.... The 'reality' seen through the magic crystal seems to be somewhat similar to the inner perspective? ”

"That's right, I feel like they should actually be the same thing, the disturbance inside the magic crystal spells, after all, is the object of our magic ability."

As he spoke, the round crystals that had been tossed fell to his palm, and then dense tentacles rose from between his skin;

When the tentacles touch the downward side of the crystal, the latter begins to soften, and the former transforms into the nervous system, completely merging into it in a short time.

Later, when Nesta made some adjustments to the signal translation process in her body and gently closed her eyes.......

In the next moment, the complex field chord structure reappeared, and this time it was projected directly into the meditation space.

First of all, he controls the diffusion and contraction of his spiritual power, and the perspective of the field strings in the meditation space also expands or retracts.

Then, when he turned to control the subtle layers of mental power, the field-string projection began to change between complexity and simplicity.

In the end, he gathered his mental power in front of him and concentrated it in the corner of the experimental cabin filled with life gas, and a clear molecular structure appeared in the perception, while the rest of the interference simply disappeared.

Nesta didn't know if the Monsters would be able to do this, but it didn't really matter what the facts were, because at this point in the current situation, it already had a considerable advantage over the inner perspective when combined;

Aside from the rest of the conveniences, the fact that your consciousness is still in your body is the biggest good news at the moment......

Because this means that the powerful mental power possessed by the body at this moment has not been abandoned by perception, and he can maintain analysis synchronously when he is 'observing', instead of having to 'remember' before returning to reality for another analysis, as in the past.

In comparison, the types of spell abilities that are naturally possessed in the magic crystal can only be regarded as secondary gains......

Immediately, he informed the researchers on the scene of the good news, and the elves who also understood the meaning of this also showed obvious excitement.

"So, the first thing we need to do now is to integrate this 'new elf gene' into the race?"

Fangs rubbed his hands together like flies with an expectant expression, and then grinned.

"That's how it should be, but isn't the amount of work a little too much?"

The concerns expressed in the speech are not unfounded, and it is indeed a huge undertaking today......

~~~~~~~

Since Nesta started the pre-research on the breakthrough of the life level (the most time-consuming), and went through the tedious implementation process (the second time-consuming), and then took over and conquered the genetic engineering (the shortest time-consuming), and first completed the attempt on himself (the second time-consuming), the calendar has been flipped to the rune calendar year 473 in a flash;

The official start of the research was actually in the year 223 of the rune calendar......

In other words, 250 years have passed since then, and all the things that have happened in this period have long since made the Republic completely different from what it used to be.

For example, the number of elves has increased by as much as 4.8 billion in this period, and together with the nearly 2 billion accumulated before, the total population size is 67 or 800 million;

This kind of data even shocked Nesta when he first woke up, which was not much different from the total population of the earth before he crossed over.

With such a huge population size, how can we carry out a holistic genetic modification project now?

You must know that in addition to the elves who have already been born and need to be modified, the greater number of dormant reproductive cells left in the 'warehouse' are also waiting for the genetic level to be rewritten.

So it seemed like a big problem, and it made Nesta groan and start thinking about how to do it......

After a few moments, the muscles of his sitting leg were surging, and then a mass of flesh separated from the main body, forming a small Nesta 3 centimeters wide, 7 centimeters long, and 2.5 centimeters thick.

After taking shape, the little Nesta seemed to close his eyes and feel something, and in a few breaths he opened his eyes and made a simple gesture in the air, followed by a fireball several meters in size that appeared out of thin air and disappeared for no reason;

So the miniature Nesta spoke,

"500 grams, this is the lowest mass of the split matter I can achieve after combining my thinking and casting ability......."

At the same time, on the other side of the shoulder, where Azhara was not sitting, more massive muscles were surging into fluid, and then one after another miniature Nesta gradually took shape in the 'pool' of the collarbone.

They tossed and fluttered in it as if they were swimming, then climbed up to the shore, ran from the front and back of their necks to the other side, and climbed all over her body under the shining gaze of Aishara.

A 'giggling' laugh came out of her mouth, and Azhara gently grabbed a miniature nest that was picking at her navel, put it in her hand, and played with the little finch with her fingertips, and then said as if asking and adding,

"So, the current weight of 230,000 tons, a total of 460 million thread clones with spell-casting ability?"

"Well, that's right~"

As soon as she finished answering, the 'humiliating' little thing in her hand melted into liquid, dripping from between her fingers onto Azhara's legs, down the beautiful curve, from the tips of her unfit toes to the trolls' chest and abdomen, and once again into Nesta's body.

After another moment, Nesta, who had already been verified, retrieved all of the thread clones and followed with a conclusion......

"In this way, instead of carrying out a one-time comprehensive rectification, we will continue to follow the old path of organ implantation...... Isn't there a cell sample of each citizen in the warehouse, just use some of them as materials to cultivate genetically integrated organs, and then let the little ones assimilate and integrate themselves; ”

"And there are two things we need to confirm first....."

"One, in addition to these genes that I have in my current chimeras, what else are we needed?"

"Second, how to set the expression time of these genes, and distinguish those that should be born with awakening and those that need to be opened in an orderly manner in the process of growth;"

"In addition, at what point should these genomes that need to be gradually opened up in their growth awaken?"

"And once I've decided on these things, the rest of the things aren't really that hard for me........"

"Is there an estimate?" Rough Tooth asked with concern, after all, this is not a small amount.

"Well, with these 460 million thread clones operating at the same time, I am sure that I can complete the transformation of all nearly 6.8 billion integrated gene organs in 20 days, and then cultivate them for about two or three months to take shape and transplant, and the rest should be easy to do, right?"

"Well, indeed..... The rest is just an organ transplant, and the little ones can do it on their own, and if they can't do it, they can still ask for help. ”

After hearing Nesta's conclusion, the old faces present sighed at the sheer number of doppelgangers and nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, since the main body is not in the home planet, Freya, who participated in the conference in a projection body, asked alone,

"Isn't it possible to create a modified chamber specifically for genetic engineering by endowing the mimic body with corresponding functions?"

"Not for the time being, the microscopic processing ability of the mimic body will be at least 1 order of magnitude lower than my own, so there is no way to cheat in this way at this stage."

After answering her doubts, Nesta said again as if remembering something,

"But you reminded me that our inscription industrial machine can be upgraded again, and so can the brain..... Smaller size and stronger functions should make the overall industrial level of the republic grow earth-shattering. ”

"Also, the various types of quasars are also ....... I remember there were more than 300,000 of them, but where are they now? ”

The tips of her fingers wrapped around her partner's beard-like purple hair, and Azara, who was still sitting on his shoulder, answered the question immediately......

In a moment's time, she projected a spherical phantus in front of Nesta, which painted a magnificent and beautiful picture with relationships that did not quite correspond to the real scale.......

~~~~~~~~

In the center, there is a sphere that seems to be glowing and heating, and the inner side of the sphere of light is a solitary orbit.

Four spheres, one large, two small, and one super-small, are manifested between the orbits, which are entangled with each other and orbit around the central luminous body.

At this point, looking outward, from a relatively distant distance, seven spheres much larger than the three sisters and one son appeared in turn;

And the one in the foremost orbit is even larger, and in terms of volume alone, it is even larger than all the spheres except the central photosphere combined.

In this way, there are already eight tracks that have already appeared......

Further outward, after passing through an area that is obviously somewhat abnormal, and passing through the hundreds of 'bases of so-and-so' distributed in between, you will arrive at an 'outer ring belt' composed of millions of dots and a relatively large span;

In addition to the millions of dots in this 'outer ring belt', there are also tens of thousands of creations labeled 'Digger So-and-So', 'Tractor So-and-So', 'Melt So-and-So', and 'Collector So-and-so'.

Further outward, there are the boundaries of the extremely sparse and unevenly dense dust, which are marked by 'discrete zones', 'wind boundaries', 'magnetic boundaries', 'gravitational boundaries', 'outer realms', and so on, and the boundaries represented by several of them will overlap each other;

And in these realms, more than 200,000 marked creatures can be seen......

And the words prefixed with its numbers are more in the style of 'shielder', 'patrol', 'protector', 'scientific researcher', 'sampler', etc., which seems to have a great functional difference from those creations in the outer ring belt.

At this point, it is quite obvious that the projection ball summoned by Aishara is the general map of the parent galaxy.....

But it is also clear that much of what is shown in it is different from what Nesta is familiar with;

First, the three rock-based stars in the inner enclosure have changed dramatically, among which the Purgatory Star and the Death Star have completely departed from their original orbits, and not only share the same orbit with the parent star at this moment, but even these three are still orbiting around their center, and the 'big moon' that is obviously not far away is constantly orbiting;

Second, the inner asteroid ring has been completely emptied, and there are almost no stars, some of which have become the raw materials for the construction of quasars, and the other part of the material has been sent to the inner perimeter for storage;

Third, the outer giants have lost almost all their natural satellites and have been stripped of their beautiful rings, leaving only one Si San, which is under the protection of the 'state maintenance fortress', rotating around the four-orbited star alone;

Fourth, a rock-ice planet seems to have been lost in the outermost orbit of the parent star system, replaced by hundreds of quasar bases with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers.

Fifth, the outer ring belt has become much more sparse than in the past, and it will one day be completely emptied like the inner ring belt, and the whereabouts of the materials in it are basically the same as those of the latter, which is nothing more than serving as building materials or stockpiling in advance;

Sixth, there are more than 300,000 quasar creatures in different realms, which are very different in size and function, and they seem to be performing many different tasks.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Gazetting to various places in the chart, Aishara explained softly in her partner's ear,

"Most of the quasars operate in the wind-magnetic and gravitational domains 1 to 2 light-years away, while most of the rest are concentrated in the outer ring to mine or collect scattered stars, or to act as logistics bases in the belts and important intermediate points.....

"Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are estimated to not be able to come back in a short period of time, and if you want to renovate, you can only project it for the time being......."

"Hmm.... I used to focus on genetic engineering, so I didn't pay much attention to it; ”

Nodding in understanding, Nesta asked again with some curiosity and anticipation,

"So, it turns out that there is really no distance limit for believing in the Dao?"

"Yes, at least for the current maximum distance reached...."

Aishara first expressed her affirmation, and then gave a slightly more detailed explanation,

"As long as the traction is successfully carried out and stabilized, the virtual realm can remain linked, the projection can be sent through without obstacles, and there is no stagnation in time perception...... It's like everything is really going on in perfect sync. ”

After receiving this accurate information from her partner, Nesta immediately had an infinite number of associations in her mind, which quickly converged into a .....

In fact, there was a vague idea that came to his mind at the time of the breakthrough, but because of his sense of responsibility and public interest to the Republic, he didn't think about trying to make an attempt in the home star system;

But now, now that he had understood the specific results of the Void Realm Verification, this thought in his heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed anymore......

So, Nesta asked again,

"Can we do it on a star-system level voyage, and what is the fastest speed we can achieve now?"

Aishara frowned slightly, and she already had some not-so-good conjectures in her mind, but she still answered the question very seriously.....

"When moving away from the parent star, we can speed up to 0.35 to 0.55 times the speed of light under the influence of the light sail field, but in the vast majority of cases this can only be considered a one-way street;"

For the time being, she suppressed the vague uneasiness in her heart, and continued to respond,

"Although there are some high-power laser return stations in the wind tape and gravitational cloud belt, you know, it's too vast there, so it's hard for them to make much of a difference."

"Eshara is right, often in order to reach the laser projection range of the return station and adjust the angle of the light, we need to walk even farther than the destination;"

Fangs was curious about what Nesta was trying to do, so at this moment he followed Azhara's words and explained,

"But after accurately calculating the channel, they can actually be used, at least when our outer spacecraft go to the border, most of them use the reverse laser of the return station to complete the deceleration.......

"Fangs!"

The second half of the words made Aishara yat him with some annoyance, and then turned around, frowned and stared at her partner's eyes and said word by word,

"What are you thinking about again? I said that the technology is not yet perfect, and you can't take it for granted. ”

"Don't be like this, didn't I have time to say anything?" Poking her fingertips at her face, which was dark purple with anger, Nesta explained with a smile.

Azhara stretched out her hand to push it away, but she was a little more angry because she couldn't push it at all, and she whispered angrily,

"Get out of the way!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get up, I'll get up."

Although he really laughed and took his fingers away, Nesta then grabbed his partner's waist with his backhand, locked his 'small and delicate' body in his arms, and whispered in a hot voice,

"Don't think about it, I'm not going to do anything too much, it's just a little bit of a Mohu idea that I want to confirm."

"Really... Really? ”

The evolution path of the elves is by no means ruthless, but there is still some taste of self-liberation in it, so Azhara, who is equivalent to more than 300 years of long-term existence, is a little sensitive at this moment, and even her voice is a little crisper under the blowing of the hot wind......

"Of course it's true, let's talk about the specifics, I can find out myself anyway, right?"

"Hmph~"

first glanced at him with good-looking eyes, and then swept over the participating elders below with his slightly watery gaze;

Then, as she thought, 'Why don't they get out of here?' Aishsara, she grunted and explained,

"Until now, all the ships we have sent to the outermost realm have been controlled by brains and projections, and there is not a single entity spirit fellow existence inside."

"Why?"

"What else could it be for?"

Twisting slightly, she found a comfortable position to sit down, and then she said again after stabbing a sentence,

"During the previous verification, several spacecraft missed the laser speed bump due to deviations in the course, and finally completely broke out of the gravitational boundary with 0.45 times the speed of light..... The engine couldn't slow down at this speed, so we let it fly on. ”

"Hmm.... I learned about ....."

Almost instantly, Nesta caught another meaning in this, and continued to ask with great interest,

"So, these ships are actually still under control, right? Now they have become real pioneers of interstellar exploration, right? ”

While asking, he linked his mind to the virtual realm, and immediately captured the information he needed.

"Haha, December 39, 441, March 31, 463, 467 in the rune calendar...... A total of 7 500-kilometer-class exploration ships were 'lost', let me take a look......"

"Wow! Boy..... It's all in the next galaxy, and it's four different ones! ”
