"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, what do you think of the stellar technology that Asitaya is currently mastering?" Nasus asked suddenly.

Azir thought for a while and said, "There is no one on this planet who has a deeper grasp than him, and after such a long period of study, even my knowledge in this area is no longer comparable to his. ”

Nasus nodded and said, "That's why I hope Your Majesty can help him, his mother's family genes have given him an extremely intelligent mind, allowing him to master technology ahead of his time in a short period of time, just like his ancestor." ”

"If he really ...... Dead, maybe the project you've taken a long time to push up is about to stall again. ”

"He's the man we need in our time, and he can't die."

After Nasus finished speaking, he added, "Even if he dies, he should not be able to close his eyes until he has completed these things!" ”

It's really not like a father can speak.

Some are cold and unforgiving.

Azir looked at him, "Scholar, do you really think so?" ”

Asitaya did not shy away from his gaze and said:

"I'm an old man of the past, but if there's anything I can do for our world, it's at all costs...... Even if it's his own son. ”

Azir went to Asitaya after that, and he promised Nasus.

But neither his mansion, nor the Academy of Sciences, nor the government affairs department had any of him, and the answer Azir received when he asked his servants was unknown.

Asitaya hasn't been home for a long time.

So he went to Asitaya's specially built underground laboratory, where the artificial sun was located.

As soon as he got there, he saw Asitaya close the entrance to the laboratory, and he also had the golden scepter in his hand that had been used for the artificial sun experiment - this device was actually made of about ten by Asitaya, and they could be connected to each other, and the more energy they could bear, the more golden scepters they needed.

"Haven't you been home all these days?"

Azir noticed that his hair had turned a lot grayer, and even his face had markings that only older people would have.

His lifespan has apparently been reduced quite a bit.

"There is some important information that needs to be processed...... The experiment had reached a critical stage, and I couldn't get out of it for a second. ”

Asitaya said as he quickly walked away from the entrance to the lab, intending not to let Azir get any way there, he was afraid that Azir would notice something unusual in the lab.

Asitaya has been locking himself in it these days, and the high-intensity work is quickly draining his life, but he doesn't dare to let himself relax for a moment, the accident caused by that experiment has made the guilt hold his heart like a fist, and the emotion on the verge of collapse has also made his whole temperament take on a strange pathology.

But fortunately, Azir only thought that it was the effect of his genetic decay, and did not think in the direction he feared.

And when Azir saw his current state, he also knew that he couldn't take it off anymore.

Azir explained to Asitaya what he was coming from, and he was a little surprised, but he was also relieved.

This sudden treatment brought Asitaya back to his senses slightly: "Your Majesty, do you really believe in that legend, the one about my ancestors?" Maybe it's just that the family can't cure the genetic disease, so they come up with a comfort trick from deception. ”

Azir said confidently in his tone: "What if it's a trick? There are no doctors or scientists on our planet who can treat your ailments, but I can. ”

"Is Your Majesty really sure? I don't think it's necessary...... Please don't give me hope, I'm afraid it will be shattered at any moment. ”

Asitaya remembered his childhood when his mother was aging rapidly, and he ran out of the house in terror on that rainy night, running away from his mother's hand to hold him, and then lost her forever.

Now it's happening to me again.

Azir asked, "The stellar experiment has reached a critical point, do you think a body like yours can withstand it?" Do you want to give up? ”

"How could I possibly want to give up?! Your Majesty...... How could I possibly want to give up ......" His retort was a little weak, and in the end the words could only dissipate with a sigh, and there was no more sound.

"Let me try, I'm more accomplished in genetics than the scientists of the entire planet, and if it succeeds, not only you, but maybe your mother's entire family can be cured, including Credor."

This sentence caused Asitaya's body to be for a while, and then he couldn't control himself from kneeling down, and Azir didn't understand why he was crying so sadly, and it was a bit too much to say that he was grateful.

Eventually, however, Asitaya agreed, and he provided his genes to Azir, who began to research them non-stop after receiving them, but the results surprised him.

"I found that there are some inexplicable things in your genes, purely biologically speaking, this cannot be explained, they are forced into abnormal sequences by some force, and your family's knowledge and special abilities are derived from this arrangement, but this also greatly depletes the body's energy...... I'll see if I can fix it, but it will take time...... You have to be patient......"

Asitaya received a professional-sounding explanation, and the confusion in his mind was cleared up over the years, and he waited hopefully, and obediently recuperated in the hospital, during which Nasus came to visit him, and the father and son did not say much, but the relationship seemed to be better than before.

When Azir found Asitaya again, his expression was obviously not relaxed: "I already have some guesses in my mind, but I'm not sure, can you give me your cousin's genetic data?" Those that are not genetic databases, but those that are present in living organisms. ”

"Okay...... But please wait a while, she ...... There are some things that have to go back to the hometown for a while. ”

Every night, Asitaya couldn't sleep, his ears always echoed with the cry of pain, the long-forgotten depression was blocked in his heart again, and his paranoid personality made this feeling infinitely magnified, like a huge plastic film wrapped around his body, even in the cold desert night, it made him feel extremely hot.

After another time, there was still no progress on Azir's side, and he seemed to encounter some insurmountable obstacle, just as Asitaya himself had predicted, and the flame of hope that had been kindled in his heart was extinguished again.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and Asitaya sat by the window, the sand outside beating frantically against the glass, like the claws of a terrible ghost trying to seduce the soul.

He didn't dare turn on the light, even if Credo wasn't around, as if a little too much light would have made him hear her howl of pain, and Assita lit a candle that was half burned before midnight.

Looking at the candles that were getting shorter and shorter, Asitaya understood.

Such a candle flame can't last until dawn.

Until the day when the last space station component lifted off, Azir's side did not give Assitaya the result he wanted.

Looking at himself who no longer had any "life" in the mirror, Asitaya thought to himself, he couldn't just die, Credo hadn't returned to normal yet! No real stellar data has been collected! Those damn scientists can't even learn the most basic superficial knowledge of stellar technology!

He doesn't feel comfortable dying! He's got to do something!

Azir was concentrating on researching ways to cure Asitaya, and Nasus was entangled in government affairs, and no one knew at this time that the dual pressure of mind and body had caused Asitaya's spirit to gradually collapse.

The day before the station's components lifted off, he was discharged from the hospital alone, and in his capacity as a cabinet minister, he warned the paramedics not to let anyone know, and no one ever saw him since.

……

A huge, equally yellowish rocket stands on the launch platform.

The components of the last space station will be sent into space by it, and since Azir and Nasus have their own affairs, only Queen Vegina will be present at today's ceremony.

But this still does not hinder the enthusiasm of the people, who gather here every time, and there are crowds of people.

"Today, we are about to witness the launch of Shurima's 10th rocket, and it seems that everyone is very confident, because our first nine launch missions were very successful, and today will be no exception!"

Miss Reporter stood in front of the camera with a spring face and broadcast for everyone.

"And in order to commemorate the successful assembly of the space station, the Academy of Sciences has also installed a camera on the Ascendant 10, and when the image is transmitted, the public can watch the Ascender break out of the surface and enter space for the first time!"

Nine parts of the space station have already been successfully sent into the sky, and everyone takes it for granted that this time it will be successful.

Finally, with a loud roar, Ascendant Ten lifted off, and after the billowing dust and smoke, the fiery meteor shot straight into the sky.

In the image transmitted by the camera, the people saw for the first time the whole picture of Shurima, a magnificent and beautiful planet full of yellow sand, lonely drifting in the orbit of the universe, with a sense of quiet magnificence.

After the boosters of Ascension 10 were disengaged, the last space station component slowly approached the main body, and everyone held their breath and stared, although they were full of confidence, they still felt nervous at this time.

The components on the affected screen vibrated for a while, and the docking was successful!

The crowd erupted in cheers again, and the Queen Mother Vichyna led her ministers to stand up and applaud, and the media broadcast the image to the world, and Nasus, who was busy with his leisure, laughed from ear to ear on the chaise longue, and the chaise longue made a foul creaking sound.

The confidence of the people of Shurima is at an all-time high! They are confident in the future of the space age.

But what happened next was something that no one expected.

The first to be discovered was the Academy of Sciences, which monitored the status of the space station throughout the process, and they found that after the docking of the space station was completed, it did not stop working in accordance with the pre-regulations.

The components sent up by Ascendant 10 suddenly accelerated, pushing the entire space station out of orbit!

Then the entire space station was activated, accelerating in the same direction—

The direction of the sun!

The project leader was horrified and angry and asked what was the wrong operation of the brain?

But everyone looked confused.

Someone reminded: "We do not have the authority to launch the entire space station." ”

Yes, in the early days of the station, this privilege was only available to a few of the most powerful people in Shurima.

The deorbiting of the space station was played in its entirety on the big screen, and at first the people of Shurima didn't think anything was wrong, because they didn't know where the alleged orbit was, but they immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Because the space space around the space station on the screen suddenly fluctuated, and then, the whole picture was filled with dazzling red light.

Everyone's faces changed.

The staff of the Academy of Sciences, who was the first to react, cut off the camera, but it was still a step too late, and those people outside had already seen the sun!

Yes, that's the core of this galaxy!

It's the sun of Shurima!

These researchers were even more surprised that the space station had been equipped with a space folding device at some point.

They looked at the sun on the interior screen and were stunned, such a magnificent sight, it was a real star.

Outside of the frame, where they couldn't see, a platform suddenly rose from the Ascension Ten space station component, and ten golden scepters rose from the platform, shining like stars and as small as stars at such a distance from the stars.

……

In the dimly lit underground laboratory, Asitaya's eyes were red as he manipulated the space station, and the blazing sunlight shining through the screen on his pale and sickly face made him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

No, it's the Grim Reaper.

And where the sun doesn't shine, there is a cage, which is a cabin, and the monsters in it are crazy to hit the wall, but even if her current physical strength is far beyond ordinary people, she still can't break through the iron wall.

Credot couldn't stop her brother.

Earlier, the two of them had found one of the largest reptile crocodiles in the desert, but the experiment was still a failure, and Asitaya hung her head as if she had lost her confidence.

Credo comforted him and went to end the experiment, but she didn't expect that there was still residual energy on the golden scepter, and the moment she touched the scepter, all the reptile genetic data stored on it was poured into Credo's body.

She became a half-human, half-crocodile monster.

Asitaya blames himself for being hit again and again, locking himself in his lab to find a way to reverse the program, but all fails.

Anger, shame, pain...... Emotions caused him to have splitting headaches, lose his mind, and even make him forget to turn to Azir, the owner of the planet's most advanced genetic technology.

Even later, when he gradually came to his senses, he didn't dare to speak to Azirti.

Then he fell into madness again, and the word "Ascendant" kept flashing in Asitaya's mind, and he manipulated Ascendant Ten, installing the Spatial Leap Device and the Golden Scepter.

He's going to collect true stellar energy for Shurima, and he's going to do it while he's still alive! I want to save my sister!

And now, it all began.

Asitaya stared at the screen with a hideous face, he pressed the switch hard, and the platform where the golden scepter was placed in the universe slowly rotated.

……

When Azir broke down the door, all he saw was a mess, Assitaya slumped by the wall, already old.

Beside it, a half-human, half-crocodile creature was dying.

Azil trembled and stretched out his finger to him, forcibly suppressing his anger: "You...... What have they done? ”

"I ...... I...... I failed......"

Asitaya's voice was lowered, and he had no face to face Azir, so he could only bow his head and cry silently.

The gravel soldiers escorted Asitaya and carried Credo away.

Azir walked out of the laboratory and was illuminated by the sun's rays, and by this time, it was no longer golden sunlight.

That's ominous red.

The top brass made a final judgment on the matter.

Eventually, they decided to execute the sinner.
