I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 26: Broken Arm
Mercury turned her head and stared at Xia Lian's profile. After a while, she said, "The madam said that you are a very introverted child, but now it seems that this is not the case."

"People always change." Xia Lian said.

"Have you studied systematic military strategy in the past?" Quicksilver asked.

"If there is no accident, I should go to the military school in Helios this year." Xia Lian said.

"That is to say, without systematically learning tactical command and having no experience in commanding fleets, you thought of going round and round to raid Bahram?"

A flash of brilliance flashed in Mercury's eyes.

"It's not that I am completely inexperienced. I have played some space strategy games before." Xia Lian said casually.

"What game?" Quicksilver asked.

"It's a game from a long time ago, it's called Qunxing."

Quicksilver searched her database and found no data about the game, she continued to ask.

"Is this the game that taught you this detour tactics?"

"No, it taught me to burn glass without burden."

Mercury obviously didn't understand this term, she tilted her head and looked at Xia Lian with some doubts.

"what is that?"

"A space art form," Xia Lian explained.

"So this game teaches art?" Quicksilver asked.

"more or less."

After a pause, he smiled.

"Battle commander has a large proportion of talent, no matter how solid the theory is, it's another level in actual combat.

How can a game be able to teach. "

Mercury nodded, and the interested person did not continue to ask.

Xia Lian found a chair and sat down, slowly closing his eyes.

The thrilling chase yesterday had consumed a lot of Xia Lian's energy, and he hadn't slept much last night.

Now that he is in a fairly safe place, the fatigue is almost surging. Although he can adjust the fatigue through AS, it is always harmful to the body.

So take a break first, after all, living longer is the capital.

"I'll rest for a while, and if anything happens, please let me know."

"Yes."

After some time, he was awakened by Wang Zhen's voice.

He slowly opened his eyes, Wang Zhen just stood in front of him, bent down and looked at him.

"Your Highness, we may have found what you asked us to find."

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows.

"Follow me, Lord Mercury has been waiting there in advance."

Wang Zhen and Xia Lian walked down the main control room and walked towards the corridor on the left side of the workshop. After about tens of meters of twists and turns, they entered a special room.

The lighting seems to have been damaged due to disrepair, with only some faint green emergency lights providing a little light.

There are some nutrition cabins all around. Looking inside through the glass, there are embryos soaked in nutrient solution. There are animal and human embryos. Their eyes are closed and they seem to have been sleeping for a long time. Some nutrition cabins The glass was shattered, and there were shards of glass on the ground.

There was a faint smell of potion and formalin in the air, and the cold wind from nowhere caressed his skin like a ghost, making people feel hairy.

These embryos are already dead, even if there is a nutrient solution, there is no energy to supply these embryos to maintain life for more than 1000 years.

Xia Lian Wang Zhen continued to walk towards the cultivation room, and soon, a light different from the green light around appeared in front of him.

It was a soft, blazing-white light like warm sunlight. At the end of the light, he saw a cylindrical glass container. Inside the container was a transparent, water-like liquid.

In this liquid, there is a broken arm emitting white light floating, and the blood flowing out of the cross-section does not melt with the water, but instead forms blood beads around the cross-section.

The fingers of the broken arm are slender, with well-defined knuckles, smooth skin, and even see veins and feel the blood flow on them.

It is alive.

This thought popped into Xia Lian's mind, and his hairs stood up subconsciously.

If they are the only visitors to this base for more than 1000 years, then the severed arm has been here for at least 1000 years.

Even the embryos soaked in the nutrient solution are full of folds and full of life, but the years have never left any traces on this broken arm
The three members of the exoskeleton team stood beside the glass pillar and stared at the broken arm absently. They didn't speak for a long time. They didn't react until Xia Lian came to the front, and said to Xia Lian in unison.

"Your Highness."

Xia Lian didn't respond, he was also watching the broken arm.

After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at the mercury who was sorting out the information on the control panel under the glass column.

At this moment, she is browsing the data in this base, and countless data streams are projected on her iris.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and said.

"There are very few records about this broken arm in this base. The above only says that it was brought by Joan of Arc, and she called this broken arm "God"."

"God?" Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Is it some kind of advanced alien life?"

"I don't know." Mercury shook his head.

Xia Lian has no words. As a person who has really seen the gods, this title is clear enough for him.

Joan of Arc is the same rationale as he, and she can also go back in time to witness the age of the gods, and in the same way, it is reasonable for her to obtain something from the age of the gods.

"According to the information in this base, the ancestors of the Eternal Night Star humans with the fifth "overhead" element were transformed with the blood of this severed hand."

"How to transform?" Xia Lian asked.

"Injecting blood into a blood vessel, this blood seems to have some kind of infectivity like a virus, which can assimilate human beings into a life similar to Him.

But the success rate was not high. They injected blood into a thousand cell samples, only two were successful, while the rest of the samples were all genetically collapsed.

Joan of Arc named the embryos from the two successful cell samples "Adam" and "Eve".

The humans of Eternal Night Star after that were all copied and cultivated based on these two successful gene samples, and they have experienced generation after generation of reproduction. The genetic map of humans on this planet has already carried this special gene . "

Xia Lian nodded silently, and he quietly stared at the severed hand.

[It seems that the origin of this power is more interesting than I thought, are you right, Alaya.]

After a moment of silence, the voice appeared in his mind again.

[This is a basic force that constitutes the universe. You can understand it as a basic particle. It is cloud, wind, mountains, rivers, everything, and human beings are also made up of it. It is everywhere but cannot be seen. .

Billions of years ago, the earth was not a suitable planet for survival, with violent geological activities, volcanic eruptions all over, lava flowing everywhere, and life material had not yet formed.

As a result, the gods appeared. They are the agents of the fifth element. The meaning of their existence is to exercise this power to reorganize the rules of the world.

The earth you know is the world after they sort out the rules. 】

[Gods can be born on every planet? 】 Xia Lian asked.

[No, but a special condition is required. 】

[This special condition also gave birth to you, right? 】

Alaya didn't say anything, but in a sense it was a tacit consent.

And Xia Lian continued to ask, "Is this hand alive? Or, if I inject this kind of blood, will it be controlled by the owner of this hand? 】

[The gods are dead. 】

The voice replied, [The divine factor keeps this hand alive, but it has lost consciousness. His blood will make your body have more divine factor, which is a key and a passage.

In the Age of Gods, there are many humans who call themselves "magicians" to sign contracts with the gods, so that there is a divine factor in their bodies. In this way, they borrow the power of the gods, which is to use the fifth in your mouth. elements.

It is relatively safe to pass the contract, and inject blood directly, because without the guidance of the gods, this transformation process will be more violent, and it is generally impossible to succeed. 】

[The probability of [-] in [-]. 】 Xia Lian said.

[Actually, it is even lower. Stealing divine power in person is a kind of blasphemy, and blasphemy will eventually pay the price. 】

Xia Lian stared at the glass column quietly, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

[It’s a coincidence, I never believe in God. 】
