With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 320 Enemy Attack
In the rest area of ​​the Numabuchi production factory, there is a wooden hut built against the Hemu wood.

The holographic interface gradually dimmed and eventually turned into darkness.

"..."

The cabin was completely silent and fell into silence.

A light of not very powerful came from above, passing through the pale yellow air and illuminating the interior of the cabin with a somewhat dim light.

The shadows of the three people and two fish swayed slightly on the ground, making the already heavy atmosphere even more solemn.

"……vomit!"

Finally, Amber was the first to break the silence in the cabin!
He retched a few times with an ugly look on his face, and the skin color of his body quickly turned into a bleak gray-blue.

"Star, star sand..."

Amber's lips trembled slightly. He was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, "The raw material of star sand is actually..."

"……brain?!"

Compared with Chen Fan and the other two, Amber's reaction was undoubtedly the biggest - he used to drink star sand as a drink!
Thinking that the star sand she drank might contain brain extracts of her compatriots, Amber began to dry heave and her body twitched violently and uncontrollably.

【Cannibalism is unacceptable to most civilizations.】

Yi's voice sounded in the hut, explaining to Chen Fan the reason for Amber's violent reaction: [This is based on self-protection and racial continuation, an instinct imprinted in the biological genes. ]

"most?"

On the side, Isa keenly noticed the blind spot and asked with a pale face.

[Of course, the universe is so vast that there are always exceptions.] Yi's voice was very calm, [Even within the Human Union, some civilized creatures do not have such taboos.]

Isa's little face behind the mask grew paler.

Especially when he thought of the scene of those minelayers picking brains just now, even Gao Yuan, who was always a bit nervous, showed an unbearable and distorted expression on his face.

Among all the people present, except for the slow-thinking Nicas, only Chen Fan could remain calm - the scene inside the TE913 research vessel at that time was much more serious than this.

Compared with the deformed and swollen rotten flesh, these brains covered with tiny tumors can even be described as "handsome".

and many more.

It should not be called sarcoma. These mutant products seem to have special names in the Bray civilization.

Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly recalled the conversation he had just heard: "...abnormal synapse?"

【Based on comprehensive judgment, it can be basically determined that "abnormal synapses" specifically refer to the abnormal proliferation phenomenon of the biological cerebral cortex. 】

Yi quickly gave a positive answer.

"Listen to the words of the Bray people..."

Chen Fan nodded, his eyes full of contemplation: "The active ingredient of Star Sand is extracted from the brain."

"And the number of distorted synapses on the brain surface is related to the content of active ingredients..."

"Combined with the situation of those mind-synchronized control consoles..."

Chen Fan suddenly realized that the many details after entering [Turbine] were finally connected into a closed loop in his mind.

But the closure is not perfect—it still requires some strong evidence.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan raised his head and looked straight at Amber and Nicas in front of him: "There is something that requires your cooperation."

"Wha, what?"

Looking at Chen Fan's straight eyes, Amber, who had just recovered from nausea, felt her heart skip a beat.

A bad premonition quickly came to his mind.

"It's not a big deal."

Chen Fan pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile: "In order to verify a little conjecture, I need to check the brains of both of you."

Amber: “?!!”

Beside him, Nicas nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."

Amber turned her head sharply, looking at Nicas with horror as he stood up and put his head close to Chen Fan:

"No, buddy?!"

……

A few minutes later.

Looking at the silver-white nanomachines continuously emerging from Chen Fan's right hand, Amber breathed a sigh of relief, and the frightened expression on her face gradually eased.

"So that's it..."

He raised his hand and wiped the light blue beads of sweat that seeped out of his forehead.

Chen Fan glanced at the sweaty Amber and asked in surprise, "What else?"

"Could it be that I'm going to perform a craniotomy on you?"

Amber scratched her head with a wry smile and said nothing.

Under Yi's control, the silver-white nanomachines quickly crawled along Amber and Nikas' bodies to the top of their heads, and then quickly penetrated into their cranial cavities.

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Fan asked:

"Yi, what are the results of the examination?"

[Nicas's abnormal proliferation of the cerebral cortex is much more serious.]

The moment the electronic synthesized sound sounded, the corresponding detection screen quickly appeared on the holographic panel in front of him.

Looking at the terrifying distorted synapses in front of him, the look of enlightenment on Chen Fan's face became more and more intense.

Sure enough, it was no different from what he expected.

The function of the mind synchronization console is to cultivate these aberrant synapses. No, to be more precise, it is to cultivate the brains of these organisms, and these aberrant synapses are just some kind of external appearance.

Those brains reached new processing areas.

Just as Chen Fan was deep in thought, Yi opened his mouth and gave a reminder - although the body of the Swamp Man was shattered, there were still a considerable number of nanomachines left inside his brain, which could naturally become a holographic camera with full camouflage performance.

Brain processing areas.

That should be the core production area of ​​[Turbine]!
As soon as Chen Fan had a thought, the holographic interface, which had been dim before, lit up again.

……

The changes in the holographic interface quickly attracted the attention of everyone else.

In the picture, the drone has transported several large baskets full of brains to a more spacious and bright area.

The scale is quite huge - according to simple measurements of nanomachines, the size of this area is even comparable to that of a honeycomb production plant!

This is the core area of ​​[Turbine].

Xingsha production factory!

Unknown giant tank equipment are connected to each other through pipes, forming an intricate steel forest inside the factory.

Under the traction of the drone, the brain filled with nanomachines was thrown into a huge tower-like device.

The holographic interface dimmed again, and Chen Fan could only judge the production process of Xingsha based on the information provided by Yi.

Crush.

Under the detection of nanomachines, the biological brain was subjected to strong cutting and stirring as soon as it entered the tower-shaped device.

A fragile brain naturally cannot withstand a blow of this magnitude.

In just a few seconds, the brains turned into a paste-like mess.

Then, they flow through pipes into the corresponding centrifugal equipment for multiple separation and purification.

Chen Fan looked at the prompt information displayed on the holographic interface in shock. At this moment, he finally understood the content of the conversation between the two minelayers.

"Surrounded by brains all day long", he never thought that this sentence was actually a realistic description! !

Compared with the "picking" work, the environment of the Xingsha Manufacturing Factory does indeed challenge the worldview of intelligent creatures more.

at last.

After nearly an hour of pretreatment, a lightly turbid liquid slowly flowed out from a pipe and into a cylindrical translucent storage tank.

As for those nanomachines, they were naturally dispersed in all the purified liquids, waiting for the next changes.

……

Da da da……

The sound of footsteps came from far away.

Then, several minelayers also wearing protective clothing appeared in the picture.

Under the "gaze" of Chen Fan and others, one of the minelayers casually glanced at the purified liquid in the storage tank.

"what?"

The minelayer uttered a sigh, "The concentration of this batch of purified liquid seems to be quite good."

Hearing the shout, the other two minelayers came over to the storage tank and took a closer look.

"It's really good. These purified liquids look a bit turbid. They are almost as good as the brain extracts from level 4 civilizations."

On the other side, Chen Fan, who was sitting in front of the holographic interface, felt some cold sweat on his forehead.

These purified liquids contain nanomachines!
How can this horse not be muddy? !
"Level four? No, no, no, it has at least reached the level of level five civilization!" Another Brayman took over the conversation.

"It's weird..."

"How is it possible for these low-level civilization creatures to produce such a high concentration of extract?" The minelayer's eyes were full of confusion. "Logically speaking, they can't withstand the high-intensity stimulation of the mind synchronization control panel..."

"Who knows?" The companion beside him shrugged, "Maybe these lower-level creatures are gifted and have been receiving stimulation for a longer period of time?"

"The brain is mysterious. It's normal that we can't understand it."

Hearing this, the Bray man, who was full of doubts, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, I have to go check it out."

"If there is a problem in the purification process, this batch of purified liquid may affect the quality of the next batch of star sand!"

"Hey... go ahead." Another Brayman waved his hand unhappily, "You... you just find things to do all day long."

"The Xingsha production line has so many self-inspection links, how could there be a problem..."

Listening to the conversation between these minelayers, Chen Fan felt his heart rise into his chest.

Let’s not talk about anything else.

There is no way that nanomachines can escape the detection of a level seven civilization, even if these nanomachines are manufactured by the Human Alliance!

At this moment, in the small room of the production factory, Chen Fan was even ready to issue an emergency evacuation order to Yi:

"One, immediately..."

Before he finished speaking, a rapid, high-pitched alarm sounded from the holographic interface, resembling a cry! !

The piercing alarm interrupted the minelayer's action of taking samples for testing: "What... happened?"

"..."

After waiting for a few seconds, as a warning message popped up on the screen on the console, the three minelayers became visibly panicked.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Damn it, the Ramsey Empire's fleet is coming again!!"
