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

Chapter 339 Sinking
Looking at the blue liquid gradually filling the transparent tube and extending towards his mouth, Chen Fan's face completely froze.

At the same time, the voices of two assistants were heard in the mental network.

"Brother Fan, did you see that?!"

Gao Yuan's voice was filled with uneasiness: "The Ramsey Empire seems to want us to drink this star sand. What should we do now?"

Before Chen Fan could speak, Isa's voice rang out: "Are we still going to use the old method to deal with these star sands?"

What is the old way?
It's very simple, just like when we were on the Swamp Star, just store the star sand in the liquid sample storage space inside the exoskeleton armor.

Although the synchronization cabin of the Ramsey Empire has corresponding monitoring functions, with the help of nanorobots, they can still transfer all the star sand that enters the mouth without anyone noticing.

only……

If this is done, the investigation of the Ramsey Empire will basically come to an end - from experience, if you observe from the perspective of an outsider, you will inevitably fail to discover some subtle but crucial information.

Thinking that the Ramsey Empire was most likely the 42nd civilization that triggered the intelligent machine crisis of the Varila civilization and caused the destruction of the Roca civilization, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little unwilling.

A mysterious intuition told him that if he missed this opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Ramsey Empire, subsequent investigations and handling would inevitably become difficult.

Even...the investigation work of radio civilization will be affected to a certain extent!

It's like a watermelon vine hidden in dense bushes. Once the vine in your hand breaks, it will not be so easy to find the watermelon growing on the vine!

While he was lost in thought, a reminder from the synchronization cabin sounded quietly, and the azure star sand had already filled 50% of the space in the hose.

"First, is the star sand itself toxic?"

Chen Fan's eyes were somewhat dangerous: "I mean, if I drink this star sand, will there be any problems?"

【The testing of Xingsha has been basically completed.】

[As Academician Wang Jing said, the main component of star sand is the activation factor produced inside the brain of intelligent creatures. Theoretically, this component is only beneficial to creatures.]

[But everything has two sides. Activating factors can increase brain activity and also cause a certain degree of addiction.]

[In addition, during use, due to the existence of broadcast civilization, the increase in brain activity will inevitably lead to cell deformation and gene mutation. ]

Yi was silent for a moment, and then added: [After comprehensive analysis, this machine believes that the risk is controllable. ]

[The addiction problem is easy to solve. As for cell distortion and gene mutation...with the existence of medical nanorobots and medical cabins, the risk of small-scale mutation is not high.]

"understood."

Chen Fan nodded, having already made a decision in his heart.

'Don't move these star sands.' He took a deep breath, stared at the star sands slowly flowing in the hose and about to flow out of the hose, and gave instructions to the two assistants in the mental network, 'Drink it and see what the Ramsey Empire wants to do.'

As soon as the order was given, a drop of concentrated, almost bluish-purple star sand liquid flowed from the top of the transparent hose.

Chen Fan did not hesitate at all. Following the urging of the prompt in the synchronization cabin, he endured the psychological discomfort in his heart about the star sand raw material, opened his mouth and drank the drop of slightly sweet liquid.

Almost at the same time, a slight tremor came from the synchronization cabin below.

While the star sand had not yet taken effect, Chen Fan passed through the translucent hatch and cast a prying glance outside.

At this time, with the help of the metal ring conveyor belt, the synchronization cabin has completely separated from the platform at the bottom of the tower and rose to a height of tens of meters above the platform.

A row of suspended metal columns are neatly arranged inside the tower.

"Click."

The sound of the buckle disengaging came from outside the synchronization cabin.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the synchronization cabin he was in quietly detached from the metal ring conveyor belt.

However, the heavy synchronization cabin did not fall towards the circular platform below. On the contrary, like those giant suspended pillars, the synchronization cabin seemed to be pulled by some unknown force and rose up into the sky.

The synchronization cabin slowly rose up, and the distance to those giant pillars was getting closer and closer.

This time, Chen Fan could clearly see the details on the giant pillars.

The densely packed synchronization cabins are like insect eggs, neatly arranged on the giant pillars. Countless branch cables and hoses extend from the inside and surface of these giant pillars and are neatly inserted in each synchronization cabin, looking like the "umbilical cord" that delivers nutrients to the "insect eggs".

Under Chen Fan's shocked eyes, the synchronization cabin he was in continued to float up, and giant pillars that were similar to each other kept appearing in front of him.

In the darkness, the blue and red light reflected on these mechanical structures, creating a strange feeling - they were clearly mechanical structures, but for some reason, Chen Fan had the illusion that he was in a giant nest built by some creature.

A slight feeling of dizziness rose from deep within my brain.

Chen Fan knew that the star sand he had just drunk was beginning to take effect.

The journey of the synchronization cabin finally came to an end - after passing three consecutive giant pillars, the synchronization cabin finally arrived at the "fourth floor" of the tower.

A green light shot out from a pillar with many empty spaces on its surface, and shone accurately on the synchronization cabin where Chen Fan was.

The synchronization cabin's slow upward movement suddenly stopped, and under the influence of the blue traction beam, it quickly adjusted its posture and flew towards the pillar.

"Click."

A familiar snapping sound was heard, and the synchronization cabin was firmly "inserted" into the empty space of the pillar.

next second.

The cables and hoses around it, like tentacles, reached out to the synchronization cabin with their claws and fangs. They seemed to have their own consciousness and were precisely connected to every external interface at the bottom of the synchronization cabin and around it.

"The signal amplification function is about to start..."

A hoarse broadcast voice sounded in the synchronization cabin, and Chen Fan's consciousness quickly sank under the influence of the star sand.

……sunny.

Waves of heat blew in from the asphalt road, and a peculiar, pungent smell emitted by the asphalt road blew in my face along with a weak breeze.

The buzzing sound of cicadas coming from the big tree next to me further aggravated the feeling of heat brought by the weather.

Standing under the shade of a tree and sweating profusely, Chen Fan glanced at the big tree next to him.

This is an ancient tree, an ancient tree that has survived for hundreds of years. It has been quietly stationed on this land since Chen Fan was born.

"Detective Fan, what case have you received today?"

A teasing shout came from the street-side bookstore behind the ancient tree, attracting Chen Fan's attention.

She was a young woman in her prime.

There were a few fine beads of sweat on the woman's cold and thin face. Her black hair was slightly pulled up and tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head.

The cool short skirt and short sleeves add a strong youthful feel to it.

Who is this?

As I recall, wasn’t the owner of the bookstore a middle-aged woman?

Could it be the boss's daughter? But how did she know me?

and also……

Why did he always feel that the woman in front of him was inexplicably familiar?

Chen Fan's confused eyes quickly swept across the pair of dazzlingly white and well-proportioned long legs, then he pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a weak smile to the woman who looked somewhat familiar.

"Just looking for a restless kitten..."

Chen Fan's words aroused the woman's curiosity: "Cat?"

"Another cat got lost around here?"

"Again?" Chen Fan frowned slightly, but soon his brows relaxed. "There are many people who keep pets in this residential area. It's normal for a few to get lost."

"Besides..."

Chen Fan shrugged and walked towards the bookstore where the woman was. "If it weren't for these kittens who yearn for freedom, my life would be difficult."

A silver bell-like laughter came from the woman's mouth.

When he arrived at the door of the bookstore, a refreshing cool breeze whistled in from the slightly open glass door, instantly dispelling the heavy heat on Chen Fan's body.

"Would you like to come in and cool down for a while?" The woman held the door handle with her right hand, bent down slightly, and invited Chen Fan with a smile on her face.

Looking at the arc revealed from the collar of the short-sleeved shirt with very little fabric, Chen Fan's already hot face became even redder.

He subconsciously looked away and waved his hands hesitantly: "No, no need..."

Perhaps realizing something from Chen Fan's reaction, the woman calmly raised her left hand and gently covered her collar which was slightly open due to gravity.

But the blush that slowly appeared on both sides of her cheeks betrayed her uneasy mood.

"what?"

Chen Fan subconsciously shifted his gaze and suddenly noticed the scene in the bookstore——

A petite girl was sitting upright on a chair, carefully turning the pages of a book.

The girl had long silver hair that reached her shoulders, and her pretty face revealed an inexplicable solemnity, as if the book in front of her was recording some extraordinary event.

"Silver hair?"

Chen Fan murmured subconsciously: "This hair color is really... eye-catching!"

Having said that, the sense of familiarity in Chen Fan's heart became stronger and stronger.

This silver-haired girl... I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?

The young woman in front of him rolled her eyes slightly: "What are you talking about? This is a customer of the bookstore, be careful..."

Suddenly, Chen Fan seemed to see something and took a step forward.

Seeing Chen Fan suddenly approaching her, the young woman took a half step back. Her face, which had just regained its calm, turned red again: "You, you..."

She avoided looking at Chen Fan in front of her and stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"found it!"

Chen Fan was delighted and pointed at the black cat lying next to the silver-haired girl: "That's it!!"

"Huh?!" The young woman looked at Chen Fan in a daze, then turned her head to look at the black cat next to the silver-haired girl, and was confused for a moment.

This cat...

When did you come into the bookstore?

"Look, there is a silver-white pattern on the back of this black cat. It looks like a glove..."

Listening to Chen Fan's narration, the young woman turned her head again to look at the black cat lying quietly on the ground, and murmured in surprise: "It's true..."

As the young woman moved, the ends of her high ponytail gently fluttered on Chen Fan's cheek, bringing a faint, familiar fragrance.
