Chapter 378 Hibernation and Protracted War(1/2)
[Mr. Lu, seeing as how sad you are, I have two pieces of good news for you.]
"What?"
[This soul gem has the function of improving concentration. Anything you do in it will become inexplicably focused. 】
[If you are really busy, you can come here to study the glyphs. 】
"It's normal... Without any sense of concentration, who wants to stay here all the time? But I have to wait for the outside matters to be taken care of before I can stay with you."
[The second good news. Staying in the soul gem and suppressing this ghost, the speed of divine attribute improvement seems to be faster than normal. 】
"Hmm...how to say?"
[I discovered that part of the spiritual energy of [Ghost], after complex conversion, will become a kind of spiritual nourishment. This may be a special kind of feedback. The spiritual energy is not much, but it is very special, and it is also what the stranger is willing to do.
Probably one of the reasons for staying here.]
"You mean, the entire flying saucer was built just for this function of improving 'divine attributes'?"
[Perhaps this is the case, there must be some benefits to suppressing a [ghost]. Unfortunately, my divine attributes are about to reach the upper limit. In addition, I have immortal equipment, so the value of this function is limited. 】
"Is it equivalent to immortal equipment?"
[That’s not as good as the immortal level, because it can’t increase the upper limit. It just allows you to reach the upper limit as quickly as possible.]
Lu Yuan nodded. If a flying saucer can reach the value of immortal equipment, then "quantum civilization" is too terrifying, equivalent to being able to produce immortals in batches!
But if the upper limit cannot be increased, then the value is actually acceptable...it is just a resource to speed up practice.
[I'm wondering if we can use the Green Paradise to take over the function of this soul gem? At that time, let 10,000 staff take over the suppression work in the Green Paradise. 】
[This part of the spiritual energy fed back is given to these workers through the poppy tree, slowly improving their divine attributes. 】
[Of course, if you are greedy and the Demon God wants it, I can give you some. Let you quickly reach 30 points.]
"I was greedy for the Demon God, but I am not so greedy now. After fighting this battle, I realized that one person's power is really too limited. Even those weak monsters can actually kill me."
"The ants will kill the elephant to death."
Lu Yuan leaned on the wall and sighed: "But this is indeed good news for you two. When the Greenland Paradise takes over, you will be able to escape, right?"
[That’s right! My soul may be full at that time, I know you are looking forward to it...]
"Then I'm really looking forward to it...I hope humanity will have improved by then."
Lu Yuan shook his head, unable to even make a joke, turned around and left the spacecraft.
…
Now the locations of human activities have shrunk to three locations: sinkholes, flying saucers, and nuclear power plants.
The development of civilization has completely stopped. Under the thick fog, only a little sunlight penetrates, and even the food production is almost zero.
The staff has been maintained at 3,000 people.
Fortunately, humans seemed to have the foresight to store a lot of food in the sinkhole, enough to feed three thousand people for hundreds of years.
However, Lu Yuan still felt that there were still too many people, and there was no need to idle here. On the contrary, there was a risk of distortion.
Fighting against this ghost fog is likely to be a protracted battle.
So after the search for loot was completed, he asked the soldiers to rest according to batches.
Each person is on duty for one year, goes into the sinkhole to rest for a while, and then resumes duty.
In the southeast corner of Sky City, in the History Museum, there is a small monument to commemorate the soldiers and Zerg warriors who died in the war.
Due to the bad weather, there were not many people in the museum, only the small mirage came here occasionally.
Its big and smart eyes looked at the history of the Origin Fire Civilization.
Read the history of mankind again...
Life, once passed away, will never come back.
However, in the long river of history, they will be remembered forever. As long as mankind does not perish, they will not be forgotten.
This is another form of eternal life.
The little mirage seems to have grown up a lot.
…
So time passed year by year...
In the first year and in the sixth month, the poppy tree recovered again.
The green paradise began to operate normally.
Lu Yuan seriously suspected that this guy... was cheating!
How could such an ancient ancient legend who had survived the disaster of the era die so easily?
It took one year to recover? Is it true?
Good guy, the soul of a great spiritualist contains countless spiritual energy, and it is directly corrupted by it!
But now, Miss Conch has no time to discipline it, so she can only be deceived by it...
The rapid recovery of poppy trees has also brought tangible benefits. Humans can remotely control robots through the "Green Paradise" and start some engineering projects with low risk.
All in all, not a loss!
…
In the third year, a research team of more than 100 people led by Professor Desert developed a large exhaust fan!
This large exhaust fan can filter out the power of [Ghost] in the air.
By sealing this part of the power in a container made of "resin", the "ghost mist" can be emptied. A legendary material "eternal fine gold" is used in it, so only one can be made.
It is estimated that the eradication time will be about thirty years, okay, it is a bit long, but the current technological strength of human beings can only do this.
…
In the fifth year, the "ant chip" was deciphered by a biological expert, and more than 20,000 people who had been implanted with the chip were able to wake up.
This stem cell repair technology was developed based on the biotechnology of Nanyu Civilization.
The specific principle is very complicated, but a simple summary is: First, the human soul and memory are uploaded to the green paradise, and then the "ant chip" is surgically processed, and stem cell repair technology is used to repair the neurons.
Then the soul and memory are re-implanted, and the patient can wake up again.
…
Now that everything is ready, only the cleanup of Gui Wu and... Lu Tiantian's research on deformed patients are left.
It is related to the survival of 180,000 people!
However, this is difficult. The distorted power of [ghosts] not only penetrates into the body, but also acts on the soul. The "ant chip" surgical plan cannot purify the soul and is not feasible.
Even if the power of [ghost] is very thin, it is too powerful for the souls of ordinary people...
To put it more accurately, as long as they are infected by this force, healthy cells will quickly turn into something like cancer cells, even thousands of times more powerful than cancer cells!
If you don't use the power of fire to resist it at the beginning, it will be overwhelming later on. In a few days or even a few hours, you will be completely distorted, lose your mind, and even your soul will be polluted.
At this moment, the research team is fighting such an enemy.
Lu Tiantian's face turned bitter. He knew deeply that it was impossible to save him through conventional methods. It was as difficult as accurately removing DNA from every contaminated cell in the human body! It was simply impossible to achieve.
However, if you can't achieve results, you still have to do it. That's 180,000 people... nearly half of the population of Sky City!
Everyone has made many attempts, and Lu Yuan has also made some attempts on the Tree of Life, including instilling life energy, feeding Soul Infant Fruit, etc.
However, these methods are only useful before the distortion occurs. Just like human resistance, it is indeed useful to take some nourishing food before getting sick; but after the distortion occurs, the more vitality is instilled, the faster the distortion will occur.
Therefore, when conventional methods are of no use, unconventional methods can only be chosen.
Use [Ghost] to deal with [Ghost]!
This seems to be the only way.
"Professor, I strongly object to you using another [vampire] to conduct experiments! First of all, that is a super spiritual life form that we don't understand at all. Once it is released, even if it is just a trace, the risk is still too great! If it happens again,
We really can't afford a ghost fog!"
"Although there are currently 180,000 people in a state of abnormality, there are still 220,000 people who are healthy. We must give priority to ensuring the safety of healthy people before we can talk about anything else!"
The person quarreling here is a young professor named Lu Linshu in the "high-risk laboratory".
He is a "whisperer" and can directly hear some correct answers during the research process. He is a very good researcher.
Professor Lu Linshu has been studying this drop of blood from [Vampires] for a long time, and is fully aware of the risks involved. (This drop of blood is sealed in resin, and Lu Yuan used it during the war with [Monsters].)
There is also a division of combat power between [Ghost] and [Ghost].
Obviously, the strength of [Vampire] is significantly higher than [Distortion].
Because in some previous simple experiments, [Vampire] actually suppressed [Distortion], which gave the experiment a glimmer of hope.
Lu Tiantian, who was originally quite elegant, turned red in the face and said loudly: "But do we have any other options? It's been five years, five years..."
"You are also studying biology. Knowing the current situation, are you watching them turn into aberrant creatures? Although they are in hibernation and are still in the sinkhole... their metabolism is still continuing, and time is still limited!"
To be continued...
