Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 666 Stasis

"Let me confirm first." Shangluo looked at her, "Can you log off? I mean, aren't you in the room? The machine eating does not mean you eat."

"I can go offline, but there is no need. I have entered the 'untouchable box' and am in crystal stasis to control this alchemist. When the deconstruction furnace in this machine eats, it means I eat. So I said I'm adapting to this life."

"Wait, so you won't enter the Nutshell World by self-destructing?"

"Why do you want to self-destruct? Even if your internal organs are broken, you can transplant someone else's, but after all, your own body is the best, right? Because your own body has no rejection reaction. The same is true for consciousness and containers. You can use your own body as a container Of course, it is best to stay still, so that if you want to come out later, you can also come out temporarily - but, every time you come out, your life will start counting down."

"Ah, I understand." Shangluo nodded, "So your plan is to stay at home and not go out, because the timer will start when you go out?"

"We retain the opportunity to occasionally go out for fun - as long as the body does not die. After all, it is very important that our nation still needs to reproduce, and we cannot give birth to new offspring in a stagnant state. Our children also need to grow , they cannot grow up in the refrigerator. Well, this is our method. It is so enviable to be immortal like a deity, but the second best option is to freeze yourself. "

"So, have you chosen a place?"

"This is the matter of the Bone Hidden Group." She looked at Phaethon.

"Yes, the whole set of related technologies is handled by the Bone Tibetan Group. In theory, I am responsible. But..." Phaethon touched his head, "Actually, I am only one of the people in charge. The history of the Bone Tibetan Group has never been bigger. It started before the Age of Sail, and the earliest mission of the group was to go to the New World to find the Golden Kingdom and the Fountain of Youth. Because according to the law of contamination of the three arcane laws, immortal qualities can be transferred from the immortal spring to people."

"What about the end?"

"In the end we discovered that it was actually the spring of one of the great rivers of Styx. In fact, after soaking it, it looked like Achilles. You know Achilles' heel, right? We now have a troop using similar technology. Similar to yours The Hydra troops I’ve seen.”

"They also have an 'Achilles' heel'? Then why not soak it all in?"

"I don't want to, but the principle is like this -" she explained, "the principle of immortality is: the person who falls into the Great River Styx is considered dead, but if you grab the heel, the place where the heel is is not dead. . People who have been soaked will be in a superposition of life and death. You cannot kill someone who has died once. You can only come back if your heels have not been soaked. If you soak them all, you will die."

“Wouldn’t that mean the heels will still age?”

"Yes, so the limitation is here. And after soaking, the whole person will turn black and white! It will only appear black and white everywhere. It is useless except that it cannot be killed, because the heels will still age, and It is easier to die if one's vitals are revealed. The cause of Achilles' death was that the last Achilles' heel belonging to a living person was hit, so he died on the spot."

"Then it's really useless."

"We have found similar methods nowhere in our long history, but none of them can lead to true immortality. But after taking into account all the discoveries and inventions, the current 'untouchable box' is a compromise. Although it is still You will die, but your life will be extended.”

"Approximately how long can it be extended?"

"Well" Phaethon shook his head, "It's hard to say. This actually depends on the quality of the 'stasis life' itself."

She pointed at Victoria: "In her current situation, it's hard to call her a high-quality life."

"Eh? I think it's not bad." Victoria replied.

"That's because you just entered." Phaethon looked at her, "This alchemist's costume will make people feel unbearably cold. It may have been modified now, but I couldn't stand it after wearing it for almost a day. Because there is no breathing, no heartbeat, and no real senses. If you don't want to go crazy, you have to come out every few days - the most ideal state is just to extend the life span to 200 years, and the next few years Ten years of life has no quality at all, because the aging body simply cannot withstand repeated stagnation and thawing.”

"Then why are you enabling it now?"

"Ah" Victoria covered her forehead, "You have now touched upon the topic we are going to negotiate this time. Because you have already mentioned it, I can talk about this part you mentioned - we think we can use this There is a way to wait. Because we have always believed that the Cathay Plan is the future and can allow all of us to ascend to the state of demigods. So we are willing to start this temporary plan to extend our lifespan and wait for the opportunity to come. Specific details We will discuss it at the meeting, as well as the exchange provided to Cathay. And..." She looked at Shangluo - but she was not talking to Shangluo, but to Apollonia: "And, Apollo Ronya's state is what we ultimately want to achieve. Because although this body is not suitable for us, for Apollonia, she can completely overcome this cold body. Above. So, you don’t have to worry about me playing for too long, I won’t be able to stand it anymore after playing for a while.”

[Ah, okay then. You can stay here for a while. 】

"Hey, hey, I haven't agreed yet, why did you agree?"

[Then I beg you to agree? 】

"Fine."

【It’s still the same. Oh, by the way, tell her for me that I have a request if she wants to stay. If you can't do that, go back alone. 】

At night, Shangluo put on his pajamas and sat on the bed.

Victoria's "head" rested on the bedside table like an alarm clock. It was Apollonia's request that only the head should live. Since it only has the head, it doesn’t matter where you put it.

"Wow! Is this your bedroom? It's so small! It feels so safe!"

"Thank you so much for complimenting me so much. By the way, what time is it now?"

The screen on the bedside changed to a clock, and Victoria's head stuck out from the corner of the screen to look: "It's past nine o'clock now."

"Then why don't you sleep? Can you sleep here?"

"Jet lag, jet lag. It's still afternoon for me, and I'm still energetic. What about you..."

"Good night." Shangluo turned off the lights and entered sleep mode in just one second.

"Tch." Victoria on the screen shook her head, "Why are you always avoiding me?"

[Because he has realized it. Victoria, is this really you? In other words, are you really awake? This is nothing like your normal self. ] Apollonia also appeared from one end of the screen.

"Ah, you discovered it, right?" Victoria shook her head, "I'm dreaming. I'm talking to you in a dream, so my emotions are completely exposed."

[Is this the latest technology? 】

"Well, using dreams as an intermediary layer is a way to adapt to this alchemical body. Because dreams do not have complete senses and will not receive images. Moreover, they will be forgotten after waking up, and the influence will not last. But , although forgetting itself is a defensive measure, I don’t want my memory to become a daily disposable type. What’s the difference between that and dying once a day? I don’t want to sleep yet, I want to experience it for a while.”

[You should say it directly, don't hide it, otherwise he will definitely not think you are sleepwalking. He doesn't want to talk more because you don't remember it. But if he knows your situation, he will definitely talk to you more. Well, just wait a moment and we will order takeout later. But I didn’t expect that one day you would also enter the screen. Now that you are in this state, how about we play games first? I recommend you to play this alloy egg head. Come on, let's get in touch. 】
