The artificial sun didn't last long, it faded in less than a minute.

This still could not stop the shouts of the people, but Asitaya was very calm, and he said to Azir: "We have developed this technology with the information provided by His Majesty on nuclear energy technology, but it is not perfect, and it will take a long time. ”

He motioned to Azir for the burned-out cables and silver-gray arc beneath him, some of which had been melted by the temperature.

Azir recognizes his talent: "You've done a very good job, and if you had changed to someone else, you might not even have touched such a threshold." ”

"With all due respect, I don't think so...... Your Majesty, I think it's better to do these things as soon as possible! ”

Azir noticed the bloodshot on Asitaya's eyeballs and the growing dark circles under his eyes, and he wanted to get him to pay attention to his body, but Asitaya eagerly led Azir out of a closed laboratory.

Asitaya flipped on the switch next to it, and the sealed barrier removed the occlusion inside, and a violent light erupted.

"This is the energy that was just collected, and now it's all stored here," Asitaya said. ”

Before Azir could reply, he had his men push out a container in another nearby cabin, with two or three green lizards swimming around.

These small lizards are often seen in the desert, and they are abundant, surprisingly fecund, and relatively inexpensive to raise, so many researchers in Shurima use them for experiments.

Just as Azir was wondering, Asitaya asked his men to turn on a switch, and the compartment containing the energy gradually dimmed, while there was a strange movement in the cabin on the other side.

The lizards were tiny, but their screams rang through a barrier three walls thick, and then the container containing the lizards burst under Azir's incredulous gaze.

Their bodies were growing larger, and Azir could see the muscles and bones of their bodies squirming as they grew larger, and the pain caused the poor subjects to howl in pain.

Then, they were even larger, reaching several times taller than humans, and now they were closer to humanoids.

……

Azir's mind went back to the present, and he remembered very clearly that he and Asitaya had a disagreement.

Asitaya believes that he has created a technique to imitate the Ascendant through the data of the solar disk, and he can use this technology to help Azir even more vigorously.

But Azir saw very well that although it was a direct injection of nuclear energy into the lizard's body that gave them the power to cross races, it was actually a more crude genetic modification technology, and it was far from being an ascendant.

It cannot act directly on the human body!

Asitaya, who was vetoed by Azir, did not say anything, he obeyed Azr's decision.

Azir tweaked his forehead, his gaze wandering over the ceiling of the library, he sensed something was wrong, it was Assitaya's body, his condition was more than haggard.

His graying hair and thinning body were not the kind of Shurima in the prime of life.

Could it be that it is due to long hours of fatigue and radiation from the research of nuclear energy technology?

Azir thought about it for a moment and put this conjecture behind him, after all, he was in the same environment as the researchers, and if he was exposed to radiation, then the researchers should be equally immune.

Then he remembered what Vishina had told him about his mother, Taya.

Tonight's Shurima is not very clear, the sky is sparse, but the moon is not obscured in any way.

The slightly cold moonlight shone through the window, draped like a veil over Azir, who was drifting into a slumber, and the book in his hand fell to the floor with a slight thud.

This time should have gone to sleep, but there are still people who refuse to sleep.

In the underground lab, Asitaya slumped in a chair with armrests, his body leaning back in the chair, his head tilted to the side, his hands lying limply on the armrests, hanging straight to the ground.

There were no lights in the dimly lit room, but there was a faint light coming from the cabin in front of Asitaya.

The light kept hitting Asitaya's face, making his already skinny face even more ghostly, and Asitaya's half-open eyes were locked on the image that came out of the cabin in front of him.

"Please, my body, at least until I work out the right energy pathway...... Don't get into trouble! ”

He was dressed roughly, and saw a few shadows in the cabin grow from small to large, growing claws and fangs, and the reptilian body gradually moved closer to human form.

Experiments never stopped, and this kind of thing that defies the laws of nature happens all the time.

But each time the result was the same as the one he showed Azir that day, the lizards aged instantly after changing their shape, until they became a dry skeleton.

Shurima's technology is in the era of explosion, and while the solar energy project has made direct breakthroughs, the Ascendant project on Azr's side has also made breakthroughs one after another.

At the same time, Azir directly integrates space technology and military technology, and his capabilities in all aspects are not in the same order of magnitude as before.

Even now, even the private sector has begun to study new era projects on their own.

But even in the era of great changes in the whole world, Asitaya's body has a problem, and every day is getting worse and worse, and he is more and more afraid that he will not see the moment when Shurima is brilliant.

As a result, he became more and more anxious, and began to be stubborn enough to forcibly push forward the progress of the Ascendant project, although Azir never gave him the project.

"Failed again...... What went wrong? ”

Seeing that the experiment failed again, Asitaya slapped his thigh hard, and then forced his hands on the armrest to stand up, but he had not rested well for a long time, and now he was extremely weak, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Fortunately, at this time, someone quickly supported him from behind, so that Asitaya avoided the fate of falling down with the chair.

"How are you? Why don't you come home so late? ”

Asitaya looked at the visitor with some surprise, and through the faint light he could see the woman's face—his longtime assistant, Credor.

She was the one who assisted Asitaya in his demonstration to Azir.

"If you continue like this, you can't sleep in bed in the morning or night, is it so difficult to let you rest?"

Credo did not bow down to the Cabinet Minister in the eyes of others, but instead looked reproachful.

Asitaya sighed: "The experiment was unsuccessful, and I was not in the mood to rest. ”

"Then if you don't rest, the experiment will be successful?"

Credo rolled her eyes, "Cousin, stop being stubborn, isn't Your Majesty as good as you in this regard?" ”

"I didn't say that Your Majesty is inferior to me, I'm just ......"

Asitaya was speechless, turned his gaze to the cabin again, thought for a moment and said, "It's normal for lizards to be too small to withstand those energies, we can find a big one next time." ”

"Or a reptile?" Credo asked.

"Reptiles." Asitaya nodded.
