Xiling Empire

() "How long does it take for the ancestors to completely dissipate?" I asked this key question, seeing that the resurrection process was about to begin.

"I'm not sure," Tavel replied calmly. "Since no soul reaction has been detected, the ancestor's soul is in an unmeasurable state even if it is still there-there is no way for the subordinate to make any inferences about an undetectable . But if, in the best case, the ancestor's soul is at an unpredictable tipping point, we have a maximum of 24 hours. "

Twenty-four hours ... Try all the possible methods of resurrection within this short day. If it is not successful, then even after the resurrection of the ancestor's body will be meaningless: this is really an urgent matter Thing.

Sandora and Tavel have told me all the problems they have encountered and may have encountered in the resurrection plan. I think they are ready to start, and ca n’t help but ask, “What, what can I help? busy?"

I think Sandola must have called me in such a hurry. As a result, Sandola thought: "No-I just want you to come and watch. Regardless of the success of the first trial, this is all A scene of history xìng, you have to be a witness ... "

I:"……"

"Of course there is one more point, if you are by the side, I will be at ease."

I just sighed.

Of course, it is impossible to take out the remains of all ancestors in the first test, and only one of them is used for resurrection, so even if it fails, we will have the opportunity to try next time. Of course, if possible, everyone hopes to succeed the first time. After all, after knowing the various troubles that the resurrection process may encounter, I think if the first attempt fails, there is not much chance to find another feasible solution no matter how many times afterwards. .

"The equipment team is ready, and each team inspects the project section they are responsible for in sequence." Tavel quickly ran on the crystal panel next to the test bench, while giving instructions to her peripheral assistants, while her A large group of quality projections also started to turn on a lot of equipment in the laboratory that I could not find useful. "We are short on time, and I require every step to be seamless."

Sandora dragged me back a few steps: Now this is an area for experts, and laymen cannot interfere with layman's work.

In this position, I can also see the situation of the entire laboratory. I can see that a large number of nearby recording and analysis equipment are online, and the complicated holographic screen is shimmering. Appearing over those devices one by one, showing the status of the equipment used for resurrection and the monitoring of the ancestor's remains. Above the platform where the remains of the ancestors were parked, there were also images suspended in mid-air, which were body scans of the ancestor's remains, as well as organizational activity and monitoring of the soul: the latter is now a straight line without fluctuations.

Tavel's calm, near-mechanical voice was the only vocal voice in the busy laboratory: "The material reorganization equipment is online. The disaster response team is on standby, and the body is ready to rebuild ... lab mainframe, how about the energy system?"

"The host reports ... the energy system has been tested, twelve sets of backup energy are available, and all redundant systems have been successfully switched. The laboratory can ensure that the core equipment is provided with energy or switched to the backup system under any circumstances."

I felt that Sandora squeezed her hand, and then heard her softly whispering in the jīng God connection: "The normal resurrection process is to locate the soul of the target first. Then, when the reconstruction begins, if necessary, even It can be discarded and replaced with something new, but this time, we can only follow the opposite process: first resurrect. Then whether this body has a soul, we can only listen to heaven ... "

I also squeezed Sandora's hand to reassure her: "I don't understand these things, but I think they will succeed."

At this point, Tavel had completed all the preparatory work, and she finally checked the work of the test platform. Then ordered the ring lamp above the room ... well, the scientific name is "Information Evolution Restart Device". This device will break the stagnant state of the hometown by restarting all the information in the range-we don't know yet how this stagnant state comes, but Tavel already knows how it is gone, which is enough.

When the device started, I didn't feel anything. I just heard a very low humming sound in the laboratory. Maybe a little? As if the time I was experiencing some kind of section or lost a second? Anyway, it was only a momentary thing, and then the resurrection process started. Everyone in the laboratory seemed to start from a still picture, and it was running quickly.

A vertical light curtain rises from below the test platform, slowly sweeping the ancestor's remains from head to toe, and then scanning in the opposite direction. The monitoring image above the platform shows muscle damage. The body of the ancestor's remains was intact and did not have fatal injuries. What caused him to die was the ultra-low temperature and the large amount of radiation caused by the failure of the dormant cabin. Therefore, most of the cells of the remains had "internal injuries". Those cells are different from any kind of living things on the earth. They look a bit like crystals. The genetic material inside them is a bright line running through the crystals. This is the case for normal cells, which are killed by ultra-low temperature and massive radiation. The cells show signs of rupture or deterioration. Eighty percent of the body's cells died at the same time, causing the ancestor to die instantly, while the remains were kept alive.

Tavel began to repair the damaged biological tissues. At the micro level, the molecule rebuilt the body one molecule at a time. She completely used the body's original materials to complete the repair process to prevent any foreign matter from causing this process. Unstable effects. At the same time, a circular light appeared above the platform, and I felt that some kind of energy field enveloped the ancestor's remains.

"That's what prevents the soul from escaping," Sandora explained. "Even though the ancestor's soul could not be detected, this device still works. If the ancestor's soul really does exist, this device can reach the target body. When the soul is 'running', it can be recoded and suppressed to the target. You know, to the body, the soul is something like executable code, and software cannot exist without hardware. The role of this aura is to camouflage To become a body so that the soul cannot escape its scope. "

"But it doesn't stop the soul from weakening, does it?" I asked curiously.

Sandora nodded with a regretful expression: "It's true, you can use a fence to stop the flocks from running out of the sheepfold. But you can't stop them from dying slowly in the fence ..."

Sandola would already use such a vivid metaphor.

There is a tense atmosphere in the laboratory. The restoration of the ancestor's remains is actually the least technical link. With Schilling Technology, the difficulty of repairing anything on the material level is almost negligible. The real difficulty is to make this The body "lived" again. Life is a wonderful thing. Scientists on earth have been arguing for many years on the topic of "What is life". From a purely "scientific" point of view, the so-called life is nothing more than a process of transforming organic matter. After being separated without emotion, life is ultimately attributed to physics and chemistry, and can be regarded as a bunch of ever-changing macromolecules-this concept is extended, and the scope of life is extended to inorganic substances and psionic creatures. It's just more complicated chemical or physical changes.

If only according to this standard. Then the series of physicochemical reactions that we let the ancestor's body restart can be counted as the latter "live", but Sandora did not want such a simple result.

To resurrect our ancestors, we do n’t just want that body to start a series of orderly material changes. It ’s not just to open its eyes under the stimulation of hormones and biological currents. That ’s the same with Frankenstein It's the same.

After the ancestor's remains were restored, the project moved on to the next step, and Tavel began to try to rejuvenate the body.

On various monitoring screens, I can see that body is working: he is breathing. Body fluids began to flow, and the internal organs that had just been repaired just a minute ago were beating vigorously. The body, which is different from humans and has a somewhat weird internal structure, was "vigorous" in my opinion. I even saw the fingers of the "remains" on the test bench a few meters away and twitched slightly.

However, he never opened his eyes, and did not respond to the various external stimuli imposed by Tavel, even to the direct stimuli on the **** of God, just like a blank machine. It was roaring, but dead.

"Which step went wrong?" Sandora whispered the first two steps. Tavel frowned: "The physical repair has been completed, but the ancestor's body refused to 'live'. I can't detect any vitality and no jīng divine fluctuations. This is the theory."

I looked at the ancestors in the crystal coffin. This body is breathing smoothly. Every cell of it is working, but it has no vitality. ...

Needless to say, it is now a group of tens of kilograms of silicon-sulfur compounds (the main part of the ancestor's body) undergoing an orderly chemical reaction, which is no different from the reactants in any chemical tank.

It's like a computer with no OS installed. The hard disk is buzzing, the processor is hot, the chassis is busy, but the screen is dark, and there is no cursor.

Sandora put her hand on the crystal coffin, her power spread carefully, I know that she was calling the ancestor's soul with the power of the spirit grabber. After a while, Sandora's expression changed slightly, it seemed to bring With a little joy, but more confused: "I can feel that something like a soul is slowly recovering, the ancestor's soul seems to be on this body, and it has been preserved along with the stasis, but this soul cannot 'Start', there must be something missing ... "

"Without vitality, the key element that activates, couples the soul, and separates the biological and chemical reactants in the tank, Ding Dong calls it a life force-although no one has actually touched that power except Ding Dong, "I feel like my head has been a bit brighter than ever. Of course, this has something to do with my usual day-to-day play and jingle." What do you think, Tavel? "

"No," Tavel shook his head in confusion. "Under normal circumstances, vitality will naturally occur after repairing ..." She was interrupted halfway by Sandora: "Now it is not a normal situation. The ancient materials of the ancestor's remains have been stagnated for trillions of years, and these materials may have produced changes we do not know. Ah Jun, is Ding Dong in your pocket? "

I reached out and touched my pocket, but I remembered that when I went out today, the little thing was busy watching TV, so I didn't bring her. At this time, she should play with or be played at home.

"Call her. I'm really confused. This kind of project can definitely use her power." Sandora patted her head and said, in fact, it's not that she didn't think of it before, mainly because she was a rice bug at home. Too long, not many people remember small things ...

"Oh, that's ... wait a minute, Tavel, you try this first." I was about to lift my leg back, and suddenly remembered that I had something "strange" on me, so I hurried to feel it. Sandola looked at me puzzled until I found a flat metal box from my pocket. The metal box was the size of a cigarette case. After opening, it contained three-quarters of green powder. A touch of fluorescence. The texture seems to be between the real and the real, and it changes slightly with a charming luster.

"This is ..." Sandora carefully took the metal box, put a little green fluorescent powder on her mouth with her fingers, and tasted it-she must have tasted rare things, "There is a little Sweet, but unlike any substance I have seen, what is it? "

"Don't Ding-Dang fly around with small green particles occasionally," I pointed to the small box of powder. "This is where Ding Dong fell off. I called it Ding Dong scum ..."

Sandora was stupid for a long time. After a long time, she silently looked at the green powder, which was almost full of boxes, and looked up at me again: "Ajun. How often do you have to be free?"

I: "... At first I was curious, I wanted to see what was spilled on Dingdang's body. At first, those light powders would not disappear for a long time, but then I found out that the container made of starstone can hold them. Keep it for a long time. Just collect ... "

I can't say halfway through the explanation, because it can't solve the problem of how free I am-I'm free!

But there is another important reason I collect these light powders. That is, I accidentally found that these light particles falling from the jingle wings can soak up the cough ...

"Okay, at least now they are really useful," Sandora gave the box of green powder to Tavel with a strange expression. "Put this thing into a crystal container. According to the power of Ding Dong, they It should be able to automatically activate living beings in decay. "

I reminded me: "Save it, Ding Dong has limited production, and throwing her in a centrifuge won't make much in a day."

Tavel's expression is weird, Sandora's expression is weird, I think my expression should also be weird, but the resurrection process can continue. After all, we only have a maximum of 24 hours. If this attempt also fails, then we Hurry up and try to find other ways. But I don't know if it's intuition or something is working, I think there should be no problem this time.

Sandora just felt the weak response of the ancestor's soul, which has recovered to a level that can be perceived, which shows that the ancestor's "spirit" is immense, and Tavel has repaired the ancestor's body before that, "spirit" and " "Flesh" is there, both just lack enough vitality to "activate" it. I believe that there is no more vitality than what Ding Dang has on them. These powders can definitely work. Anyway, if I do n’t use it, I will catch Ding Dang. The small things have been long enough to be rice bugs. .

There was a little invisible green fluorescence in the crystal coffin. Tavel blows a trace of life dust into the container. She uses a small amount, and she is very careful-not entirely because of following my advice. "Use sparingly" is mainly concerned that too strong a life force will destroy the ancestors' babies. The power of jingle is not a good thing for mortal people. If you touch it directly without diluting it, it is enough for a mortal person to burn to ash if you drop something on the small thing.

Tavel tried to keep the dosage as low as possible for the mortal body, and then we anxiously waited for the result.

The little green powder began to dissipate slowly after leaving the special star gold locket. The green light in the crystal coffin dimmed at a rate visible to the naked eye ~ www.readwn.com ~ The dust is not a physical substance, but a jingle The energy that escapes from the body is a product of a mixture of "super concept". I have calculated that if they are not stored in a starstone container, it will take about thirty minutes to evaporate to nothing after leaving Dingdang ’s body— -The powder dissipates significantly faster in the crystal coffin.

This shows that they are acting on the remains of their ancestors, thus accelerating their own consumption.

"Responded!" Sandora was the first to notice the situation. She has been paying attention to the "starting process" of the ancestors' spirits, and now she feels that the body is gradually changing from a pile of silent chemicals. Into a real life, "the ancestor's soul is awakening, and I can feel that it is gradually shaping from a fuzzy state ..."

I also feel that the body in front of me has changed. Although I don't have the ability to perceive Sandora, but ... just like when you look at a chemical tank and look at a person, the tens of kilograms of material When the pile of inanimate reactants becomes a living individual, you will also feel subtle changes-

This should be the "life force" that Ding Dong often says, I think so.

The body in the crystal coffin twitched, then opened his eyes.
