Chapter 116: The Pit!
Link has been watching.
From the moment of arrival at the rear camp.
He's observing people, observing their demeanor, observing the way they think, the way they do things.
Observe what high-end items you have heard of and have never seen, and what unknown items you have never seen or heard of.
Since the beginning of the mission, Link has been watching Shandora's decisions and commands.
He discovers that Shandora has a mysterious self-confidence.
Thinking that the miniature legion she leads, with only 12 people, the highest senior second-level wizards, and four first-level wizards "dragging their feet", they can level this Zerg world with a ceiling of level 3 transcendent life.
The hierarchy of civilization in the heavens and worlds is divided into four levels:
A low-level civilized world, with a maximum of level 3 transcendent lifeforms;
Medium civilization world, with a maximum of level 6 transcendent lifeforms;
A high-civilization world that can accommodate up to level 9 transcendent lifeforms;
A super civilized world with no upper limit.
And in the division criteria of the wizarding world, there are subtle differences.
That is, in the medium civilization world, the difference between the fairy world that can accommodate a maximum of level 5 transcendent life and the tree spirit world that can accommodate a level 5 sage with a ceiling.
The fifth-level sage of the wizarding world, who is also the fifth-level transcendent life of the heavens and all worlds, why is it so special?
Because of the level 5 transcendent life, only two life essence jumps have been made.
The fifth-level sage, in addition to the two life essence jumps, also understood the rules and resonated with the will of the world.
The difference between "Tao" and "Art" is the difference.
But in the low-level civilized world, there is not much difference between a level 1~3 transcendent life and a level 1 to 3 wizard.
Shandora is only a senior second-level wizard, no matter how strong the background is, no matter how strong the financial resources are, and no matter how sufficient the witch weapon reserves are, if you want to take 11 people to level a level 3 Zerg world, this surface strength is not enough.
No matter how the Zerg declined, the ancestors were once wide.
In the low-level civilized world, the Zerg of this world can be called a hegemon.
It still has a certain strength, and it is not a weak race that can be handled at will.
The Zerg just relied on the number of piles, how could they pile up this miniature wizard army.
So, Link decides that Sandora must have something else to rely on.
It's normal to think about it.
The great-granddaughters of the two great sages, who went out on adventures and experiences, how could they not be followed by one or several protectors behind them?
Perhaps, all the movements of the miniature legion are being watched remotely by the bigwigs who care about Sandora.
Whatever the possibility, Link is confident that there will be no real danger to the trip.
At most, it is necessary to do a good job of personal protection and cope with the emergency tests that may arise.
"Recuperate."
In the midst of the "Psychic Link", Shandora ordered.
No matter how strong the wizard's physical strength and willpower are, he can't withstand a high-speed gallop that lasts too long.
The combination of work and rest, proper rest, and physical recovery can help to reach the destination quickly.
After several marches, researches, and transfers, the miniature corps has cultivated a certain tacit understanding.
Seven children of the big family of the college headquarters consciously took on the task of vigilance.
The two research teams of Link and Tiffany took the initiative to use the time off to work overtime to analyze the data of the previous two experiments.
These data are derived from the first two survey sites.
The mission has three original objectives and three additional objectives.
The High Council, which issued the mandate, has established two sites that must be surveyed on the spot.
There must be a certain relationship between the three original objectives and the two survey sites.
The answers to the three original goals of investigating the ecological structure, abnormal changes, and abnormal causes are in the data in the hands of Link and Tiffany.
If there is a shortcoming, search elsewhere to supplement it.
Link pulled out his brain and began to write a report.
The main content is to discuss that the ecological structure of the Zerg has not changed significantly through the detection and inspection results of various samples such as soil, water, air, and humus, which is consistent with the results of routine monitoring by the institutions under the Supreme Council in the past;
After that, starting from various details and arguments, he discussed his hypothesis that one or several exogenous sources would have an impact on the Zerg and promote individual evolution.
Finally, based on the results of anatomical findings, physiological examinations, and the detection of dead insect eggs, it is inferred that the imaginary unknown external source is some kind of "light radiation".
Yes, Link has preliminarily figured out the truth about the cause of the Zerg's anomalous changes and mutations.
Not even the "multi-threaded thinking" state is turned on.
As early as the first time he set foot in this level 3 Zerg world, Flandor and the "small world" sent a hint to Link at the same time.
The hint of "small world" is a hazy throbbing.
Frando shouted repeatedly: "Master, master, the light here is so strange." 'Small World' has a contradictory feeling of wanting to eat but not daring to eat. β
Link gets the cue and begins to seriously perceive what Flando's call a "strange" light.
After perceiving it, Link discovered that there was an extremely subtle special "radiation" in the light.
The radiation was so weak that it had been isolated from the suit, so the others were unaware.
Since then, Link has been carefully sensing the effects of this radiation in action.
It wasn't until he had dissected the four Zerg corpses and examined the dead eggs next to the incubation pond that Link was able to determine the effect of the radiation:
Induce the Zerg to undergo genetic mutations and evolve towards higher-level life forms.
Like the biochemical transformation of goblins and the gestation of Christina, this process involving the evolution of life forms requires a large amount of life force to be replenished.
Once the body's vitality is insufficient, it will produce distortion or death.
The Zerg has a strong ability to resist distortion, after all, it is a race that can rely on the flesh to carry out short-distance interstellar voyages at its peak.
There are so many rays in the universe that the Zerg dare to expose them directly, without fear of aberration.
This shows how strong the Zerg's ability to resist distortion is.
The super anti-distortion ability has pitted the Zerg this time.
As a result, after receiving the mutagenesis of "light radiation", they will continue to carry the aberration and continue to evolve until their vitality is exhausted and they die completely.
These are all reasonable inferences made by Link based on known answers.
Link also figured out the reason why the "small world" was throbbing ignorantly, and he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.
The previous stage of the "small world" was the "seed", and the "seed" was the transformation of the world origin of a broken world.
And the origin of that world was once parasitized by a god possessed by an insect for more than 1,600 years.
Later, under the rules of a certain high-level wizard, the World Origin of the Broken World devoured everything that could be devoured, including the insect gods, to make up for the consumption and evolved into "seeds".
The action of force is reciprocal.
Some of the nature of the insect gods has naturally been inherited by the former "seed" and the current "small world".
Wanting to eat this light with special radiation is precisely the bad root nature of the insect gods.
The reason why I don't dare to eat it is because of the ignorance but correct concept of development that prevents it.
After thinking this out, Link wrote the report with peace of mind, and asked Flando, as a "spirit", to help the "small world" eliminate the bad roots of the insect gods.
And check if there are any other hidden dangers.
Sandora noticed Link's movement in the corner and walked over, and the "Psychic Link" voice was transmitted into the secret and asked, "Is there any result?" β
"I'm about to report and apply to you."
Link stopped using his mental power and brain chain to output his thoughts and thoughts, and replied to Sandora's question, "I have a preliminary inference, and there is relevant evidence to support this inference, but the strength is insufficient. If I could, I would like to dissect a few living Zerg and compare them. β
"Tell me about the preliminary inference."
Instead of directly agreeing to Link's request, Sandora focused on his inferences.
Link explained a series of inferences based on "light radiation" to Sandora in concise language.
"I see."
After listening to Link's story, Sandora was thoughtful.
After thinking about it, she took out a hand-held detection witch weapon directly from the space storage witch weapon.
Comprehensive and detailed detection of light.
The underground pits dug by the Zerg are famous among the heavens and all worlds.
Their tunnels are able to receive light from the stars in a special way, so that the craters are fully illuminated and can sense changes in time.
In this way, the Zerg live underground, and there is also a day and night alternation, with a normal schedule.
A few ticks.
The hand-held detector completes the detection of light in the pit.
"There is indeed very subtle radiation, and it has been documented that it has been used extensively by the Zerg in the past to promote the evolution of the Zerg individual."
Shandora said after reading the test results.
As she spoke, she frowned slightly, and muttered to herself in confusion: "Why didn't the routine monitoring of the Supreme Council find such an obvious phenomenon?" β
There's a reason why Shandora hasn't thought about testing on the surface since she landed on this planet.
An agency under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council conducts detailed long-distance monitoring of the various Zerg worlds every year.
It was found that there was an abnormality in the level 3 Zerg world on this side, and when the field investigation task was issued, the monitoring records of the past three years were attached.
The monitoring log concludes that everything is normal on the surface, including the light.
The only thing that went wrong was the underground potholes.
So as soon as Sandora came, she led the team straight to the underground pit.
"Is it because the distance is too far, so the monitoring is not sensitive enough?"
Shandora subconsciously ruled out a guess and took the initiative to excuse the High Council.
Not......
Not to mention that she was just the great-granddaughter of the two Great Sages, even the two Great Sages themselves, and they didn't dare to directly question the Supreme Council.
Even if it is a subordinate body of the High Council.
Unless the two Great Sages had definite evidence in their hands and strong support behind them, and their actions would not offend the five Sages of the Supreme Council, they would dare to question the institutions under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council.
It is an inquiry, not a question, a question, or an accountability.
Shaking her head, not thinking about these things that were beyond her ability, Shandora stretched out her hand to Link, "Report it to me." β
"Wait a minute."
Link's mental power reconnected to the Brain, and it took a minute to output the last paragraph before handing the Brain to Sandora.
Looking at the report's clear inferences, detailed data, and meticulous logic from beginning to end, Sandora was very satisfied.
This time conscription Link. Grande, not a single place was wasted.
Even if it is possible that it will not be able to be recruited in the end, the academy headquarters will have to consider the wishes of the Paro sage.
That's okay too.
There will be a long time to come, and there will be a chance to use it again.
After all, Link. No matter how fast and good Grande grew, he was still a part of the Rivosus Academy.
It's all about doing things for her family!
"Give you an hour, is that enough?"
Sandora gives the brain back to Link and asks at the same time.
"Okay, but I need help from Tiffany."
Link replied.
When Tiffany took the initiative to find him, the two had a tacit understanding.
At least for the duration of this mission, the distinction between pure-bloods and new-bloods, and the slightest contradictions, must be put aside.
They can not form alliances, but they must take care of each other and work together to fight for their position and voice in the mini-legions.
Tiffany's idea is similar to that of Lanny.
Link's response was no different.
So now, Link has offered to help Tiffany and Co., and is really doing Tiffany a favor.
"Clever approach."
Shandora looked at Link with a smirk and said meaningfully, "It was a mistake for Sage Paro not to absorb you into his 'New Blood Society' in the first place. β
After saying that, regardless of what Link had in mind, Sandora turned around and left: "I agree, hurry up." β
What could Link have in mind?
I never thought that my motives could be hidden from Sandora, and I have always played cards.
"Let's get started."
Calmly responding to Tiffany and Fried's slightly complicated gazes, Link took the lead in getting to work.
He took out the dissecting table and dissecting tools from the "small world", and then took over the four Zerg from a child of a big family in the academy headquarters.
A brutal, bloody living study unfolded so calmly.
Under the silent witchcraft, the wails of the zerg could not be heard at all.
The other side.
Shandora walked up to the grim and thin young man who had retorted to the round-faced youth, and ordered, "Be vigilant, we'll stay for another hour." β
"Hmm."
The thin young man, who was the one in command of the battle group, nodded his head and asked, "What did you find?" β
Shandora did not hide: "The three original objectives of this mission are about to be completed. β
"So fast?"
The thin young man let out an exclamation, a little incredulous.
"It's that fast!"
Sandora's categorical affirmation completely dispelled the emaciated youth's suspicions.
Then, Shandora looked directly into the thin young man's eyes and said seriously, "Think about it, if it's you, be Link. How long does it take for Grande to figure out the work? β
The thin young man pondered for a moment, then said in a complicated tone, "I may need at least three days, I really don't know how he did it so quickly." β
Unless it is lucky, otherwise, normal biochemical research has always been in a few, a dozen or even dozens of different directions, first do a round of screening, and then do a detailed and in-depth investigation.
How can there be so many big bulls, as soon as they come up, they can accurately find the research direction, and then carry out targeted experiments.
"Do you still think I'm naΓ―ve?"
Shandora asked solemnly.
The thin young man pursed his lips a few times, but did not reply.
Sandora has always wanted to prove to her friends her peers that the local wizards are getting better and better than the wizards in her own department.
Especially in the past 50 years, the development of the local area has become more and more dynamic than that of the main department.
The skinny young man didn't believe it at first, but after reading some of the data that Sandora had cited, he was skeptical, and only then agreed to join the miniature army and participate in this mission.
As the great-granddaughter of the two great sages, there are more than 7 children of the big family that grew up with her?
More than 70 people.
It's just that Sandora only chooses 7 friends in the end that she thinks will make it easier to unify her thoughts.
Now, it's Link. Grande is an example of a great time for friends to shake up education.
Sandora sent a "heart link" and pulled 7 friends into the group chat mode.
"The traces of the Zerg army have been discovered, and they are surrounding us from four directions."
It's a pity that as soon as the link was established, the little partner in charge of reconnaissance reported a bad news.
The Zerg, who don't have long eyes, want to pick this time to disturb Sandora's Yaxing.
It's really the toilet that hits the lantern and looks for death.
Thank you for your tip, thank you!
