Chapter 34: The first step in research
Lu Shujie nodded: "Yes." Your organs, your muscles, your bones, your blood vessels, your meridians, even every single one of your cells. Ordinary people have the five elements, not to mention the Yuan and the Sleeping Bloodline. Even if you are not born with a primordial person, every cell in your body has its own attributes. This is why after the awakening of all the elemental bloodlines, their bodies will not have the slightest rejection of the matching attribute of the elemental power. Your body is full of wood attributes, so the earth element power enters your body and amplifies things that consume wood attributes, amplifying and eventually rioting. Then the rioting Earth Yuan Force broke through the barrier and entered your Yuan Sea, and was slowly transformed into your own Wood Yuan Power in the Yuan Sea.
"It's all just my own speculation, and we made it 10 years ago. However, an accident occurred at the beginning of the experiment, which led to the emergency suspension of subsequent experiments, and our conjecture could not be proven. But now, judging from what happened before and after the awakening of your bloodline, it can prove that our original conjecture was correct to a certain extent. However, what exactly happened in your body at that time, and whether your bloodline awakening was related to the earth element power that invaded your body, still needs to be carefully studied by us to come to a definite conclusion. After all, conjectures are always just utopian dreams until they are verified. β
"Accidents? It's what Brother Xiao Ming mentioned to me before, the meridians of the tested person are damaged and become invalids, right? How did your experiments work at the time? Lu Fang asked curiously.
Lu Shujie's expression became solemn, ignored him, turned around and continued to walk forward. Lu Fang and Zhu Xinming had no choice but to follow quickly.
After taking a few steps, Lu Shujie said without looking back: "Xiao Ming, you tell him." β
"Yes." Zhu Xinming responded, "We named the experiment 'Breaking the Wall Project' that year, and the testers who participated in the experiment were seven people from each of the five element attributes, a total of thirty-five people. Because the two attributes of light and darkness are relatively special, they are not included in the experimental plan for the time being. In order to clarify the bloodline attributes of all the experimenters, we selected bloodline sleepers whose parents were both of the same attributes, or only one of them was a meta and the other was an ordinary person. Because both parents are meta-nators or bloodline sleepers with different attributes, then the bloodline attributes of the children may be either of the parents.
"In the first stage of the experiment, we were based on the principle of high adaptability, and we input the same Yuan Force as their bloodline attribute to the experimenter. Several of the experimenters fed them the Yuan Force of their father or mother as a Yuan Being, which was more adaptable. As a result of the first round of experiments, none of them were able to awaken their bloodlines, and four of them suffered minor injuries to their meridians and organs. After the four recovered, we started a second round of experiments. The first phase of the experiment lasted for seven rounds, but no one was able to awaken the bloodline, and with each round, the number of injured people slowly increased. As a result, the first phase of the experiment failed.
"In the second stage of the experiment, according to the principle of attribute reciprocity, we respectively input the Yuan Force that is co-existent with their bloodline attributes to the experimenters. That is to say, the elemental power of earth is fed into the metallic bloodline sleeper, water is fed into wood, gold is fed into water, wood is fed into fire, and fire is fed into earth. The second phase of the experiment was also carried out seven rounds, and none of them were successful. Worse than in the first stage, the probability of injury was greatly increased, and the injuries were more severe and took longer to recover. The second phase of the experiment also failed.
"Originally, we planned to terminate the experiment at this stage, but at that time, several experimenters reported that they felt something strange in Yuanhai in the fourth round, and this abnormality became more and more obvious in the next few rounds. So we decided to start the third phase of the experiment. β
"In the third stage of the experiment, we deduced another symbiotic relationship based on the mutual restraint of the five elements for the input of the yuan force. They are the input of wood to the metallic nature, the input of earth to the woodβas in your caseβfire to water, gold to fire, and water to earth. But not long after the first round of experiments began, more than half of the subjects felt unwell and ached, and several even fell unconscious on the spot. We immediately halted the experiment and sent them to medical attention. As a result, most people's meridians and internal organs have been irreversibly damaged to a certain extent, and those who are in a coma have serious damage to their meridians and internal organs, and all of them have fallen into hidden diseases, and the most serious ones are even half paralyzed. β
Hearing this, Lu Fang's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy. Although he knew that most of the experimenters had signed a life and death contract in order to realize their dream of becoming a meta-person, such a tragic consequence still made him sigh.
Zhu Xinming continued: "After that, the 'wall-breaking plan' was stopped by the central government, all experimental data files were sealed, and the 35 testers were also required to keep it secret forever after receiving different degrees of compensation from the state. Fortunately, no one died, so our scientific team was able to stay, but we were asked to turn to drug discovery. β
Lu Shujie, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "Fortunately, today the central government finally agreed to restart the 'wall-breaking plan', and the experimental data files of that year have also been unsealed. β
"yes. Back then, we didn't have time to study the problems of the third phase of the experiment, and now we can get back the experimental files of that year, which can save us a lot of time. Zhu Xinming responded and said.
"In fact, I have always remembered the results of the third phase of the experiment, and I have been thinking about what caused such a tragic experimental result every day for the past ten years, and where is the way out for follow-up research?" Lu Shujie pointed to Lu Fang and said, "And just now, when I learned the details of your becoming a meta, I figured out most of it at once." β
"What is it?" Zhu Xinming and Lu Fang asked curiously in unison.
Lu Shujie also didn't sell it, and explained bluntly: "It is the characteristics of different attribute Yuan forces and the inclusiveness between them. The characteristic of the elemental force of gold is sharpness, the characteristic of the elemental force of wood is vitality, the characteristic of the elemental force of water is changeable, the characteristic of the elemental force of fire is bursting, and the characteristic of the elemental force of earth is thickness. It can be seen that the characteristics of gold and fire are more intense, and the tolerance of other attributes is low; The characteristics of wood and earth are softer and more tolerant of other attributes; Due to the changeable characteristics of water, it is rigid when it is rigid and soft when it is soft.
"Let's talk about what happened to those who tested it 10 years ago. Those who were seriously injured or even comatose and paralyzed were all water attribute and fire attribute testers, and the yuan forces they were input into were fire attribute and metallic nature respectively. Fire and water are incompatible, and both gold and fire are intense. Most of the slightly lighter injuries are metallic and earth-based experimenters, and the input forces are wood and fire respectively, and the characteristics are both intense on one side and soft on the other. The wood attribute testers who were injected into the Earth Yuan Force were basically not injured, or only suffered minor injuries, because both of them were soft and inclusive. Hi! It's so simple, why haven't I noticed it all along? Lu Shujie stomped his foot with self-reproach.
Zhu Xinming said excitedly: "Doctor, does this mean that our next research work will revolve around the two properties of wood and earth?" β
"Well, that's the general direction. However, the premise is still that one, we have to be 100% sure that Lu Fang's bloodline awakening is related to the earth element power that invaded his body. β
As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived in front of the laboratory.
Walking into the laboratory, Lu Fang found that there was no one inside, and asked, "Well, this research team won't be just the two of you, right?" β
Lu Shujie said: "How is it possible? It's just that the others are on vacation for the time being, and I haven't had time to call them back yet. β
Lu Fang looked at the various instruments placed on the other side of the laboratory separated by thick glass, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are those instruments for?" β
When Zhu Xinming was about to answer them one by one, Lu Shujie preemptively said: "There is no need to introduce them to you one by one now, and when you need to cooperate with these in the future, I will naturally tell you." β
Lu Fang glanced at him a little boredly and asked, "Then what am I going to do now?" β
Lu Shujie instructed Zhu Xinming: "Xiao Ming, draw blood." β
Zhu Xinming quickly picked up a set of blood-drawing tools from the table, came to Lu Fang's side, and motioned for him to stretch out his right arm. Zhu Xinming tied the pulse pressure belt to the road and put it on his upper arm, and pierced the elbow fossa that had been wiped by iodine with a needle, and the blood flowed down the transparent transfusion tube into the test tube stuffed with a rubber stopper. When the blood in the test tube was almost three-quarters full, Zhu Xinming pulled out the needle. At the same time, at the pinhole of the finger, the light blue Yuan Force light flashed, and the pinhole disappeared in an instant.
"Alright." Zhu Xinming spoke, then pulled out the needle, threw it into the waste bin with the blood vessels, and labeled the test tube wall and inserted it into the test tube rack on the table.
Lu Fang shook his arm and asked, "What are you going to do next?" β
Lu Shujie said lightly: "You can go." β
"Huh? What? Lu Fang wondered if he had misheard.
"I said, it's none of your business here, you can go." Lu Shujie repeated without emotion.
"Didn't you say you wanted to do research? Why did you call me all the way to get blood? You're a cheat! Lu Fang exclaimed unpleasantly.
Lu Shujie glanced at him and said, "The purpose of our blood draw is to test whether there are any distinctive characteristics in your genes, and to see if there is any abnormality in the part of the chromosomes related to the Yuan after the awakening of the sleeping bloodline. Only by understanding this can we move on to the next step of research. So to say that the layman is trouble. β
Lu Fang was speechless by him.
Lu Shujie sucked out the blood in the test tube with a rubber tip dropper, dropped a few drops on the slide, and then put it under the microscope to observe. Without turning his head, he continued to say to Lu Fang: "Besides, you have just become a Yuan Being, and you still need to learn the use of Yuan Force. After you have learned enough things in school, you will be able to cooperate with our instruments for sampling research. Science is very rigorous, and you can't be sloppy. When we feel you can help us, we will naturally contact you again. β
This statement was more convincing to Lu Fang, so he said goodbye to Lu Shujie and Zhu Xinming and left the institute.
