Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1708 Super Evolution

The reactor core is surrounded by a robust protective shield, which is usually made of high-strength alloy materials that can withstand high temperatures, high pressures and intense radiation to prevent nuclear fuel leakage and radiation leakage.

But Connors didn't care about this seemingly indestructible protective shield.

Its thick, powerful forelimbs are taut and full of explosive power.

It pounded the protective shield with its forelimbs, each strike accompanied by a huge impact, making the shield emit a dull and deep sound.

Under Connors' continued attack, the protective shield began to develop tiny cracks.

These cracks started as tiny fissures, but over time, with Connors' repeated, violent blows, they gradually widened.

Under the influence of high temperature and stress, the metal material at the edge of the crack begins to deform and break.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the protective shield was completely shattered, and fragments scattered everywhere, creating huge waves in the coolant.

Inside the reactor chamber of the nuclear power plant, the blue Cherenkov radiation shimmered with a dreamlike glow underwater.

Connors' massive body slowly approached the core of the reactor. Its scaly chest rose and fell with its breath, creating visible whirlpools in the surrounding water with each exhale and exhale.

The reactor core shield is as fragile as paper under its sharp claws.

With a piercing, metallic cracking sound, a three-meter-diameter pressure vessel was ripped open.

The neatly arranged nuclear fuel rods are exposed to the coolant, and the zirconium alloy cladding turns a dark red color due to decay heat.

The neutron stream released by uranium-235 streaks of light across the liquid.

Connors's vertical pupils suddenly contracted; what it sensed was not the deadly radiation, but an energy feast that made its blood boil.

It opened its gaping maw, its sharp fangs piercing into the fuel assembly.

In an instant, the water temperature in the entire reactor chamber soared to the critical point.

The zirconium alloy cladding on the surface of the fuel rods begins to oxidize at high temperatures, releasing a large amount of hydrogen gas.

However, Connors' oral cavity secretes a special mucus. This dark green biogel can not only neutralize radiation, but also convert the neutron flux produced by nuclear fission into bioenergy that can be absorbed.

"Snap—"

With a sickening metallic creaking sound, the fuel rod casing began to twist.

The fluorescent mucus secreted by Connors' oral cavity was incredibly corrosive, dissolving the zirconium alloy at a visible rate, exposing the sintered uranium dioxide core inside.

The moment these ceramic bodies containing enriched uranium-235 come into contact with air, spiderweb-like cracks immediately appear on their surface, and the accumulated decay energy bursts out like a flood.

"boom--"

With a muffled bang, the first set of fuel rods shattered in its mouth.

Enriched uranium particles react violently with its salivary enzymes, creating a miniature chain reaction within its oral cavity.

At that moment, the neutron flux detected reached the critical accident level.

Incredibly, this radiation, which would have instantly vaporized any carbon-based life form, was completely absorbed by a special organ in Connors' throat.

Connors's special organs in his throat immediately activated, regulating the reaction rate like a biological control rod.

Its luminous organ on its neck flickered on and off, flashing with a dangerous rhythm like breathing.

Energy surged into its veins like a flood bursting its banks. Connors's scales began to turn translucent.

Through the gradually crystallizing skin, a torrent of blue-white energy can be clearly seen surging through the network of blood vessels.

As these ionized "blood" flow through a specially modified circulatory system, the 200 MeV energy released by uranium-235 fission is gradually degraded and converted into controllable bioelectricity through organic tissues similar to a biological "moderater".

The monitoring equipment showed that Connors' radiation dose had reached an astonishing 10 Gy – a dose that could kill thousands of ordinary people instantly.

But special proteins within its body are replicating rapidly; these helical molecules act like nanoscale energy pumps, delivering radioactive isotopes throughout its body.

Its skeleton is the first to change.

The originally grayish-white bone tissue began to emit an eerie blue light. Under the influence of radiation, the microstructure reorganized, and carbon atoms were replaced by uranium atoms, forming a super-dense bone tissue that had never appeared in nature before.

X-rays show that its bone density is 800 times that of ordinary steel, yet it retains the toughness of a biological skeleton.

The transformation of muscle fibers is spectacular.

Each muscle bundle swells up as if being charged, with luminescent high-energy compounds filling the spaces between the myofibrils.

When Connors tried to grip his front paws, the tips of his paws traced ionized paths in the air.

As energy is ingested, the thorny structures on Connors' back begin to undergo a phase transition.

After the original grayish stratum corneum peels off, a new boron carbide composite material, similar to a control rod, is revealed underneath.

These natural organs, capable of autonomously regulating their reactivity, demonstrate that its body has evolved a complete nuclear reaction regulation system.

When it arches its back, the bioelectric field generated between its thorns can even briefly confine the high-temperature plasma.

The most astonishing changes occur in its circulatory system.

The originally dark red blood gradually turned into a fluorescent blue-green color as the hemoglobin in the blood cells was replaced by a new metalloprotein.

Spectroscopic analysis shows that this protein can form a stable complex with plutonium-239, converting the deadly radioactive material into an energy source for life activities.

The most startling changes occur in its digestive system.

Connors' stomach lining is covered with layers of enriched uranium crystals, which spontaneously form "biological centrifuges" that can separate and purify the ingested natural uranium isotopes.

Its liver has evolved into a perfect radioactive waste treatment plant, capable of converting the fission products strontium-90 and cesium-137 into harmless stable isotopes.

The coolant inside the reactor began to boil violently.

Numerous hydrogen bubbles formed around Connors, which were then instantly ionized by the high temperature on its surface.

Surveillance cameras captured chilling images: what appeared to be countless fireflies dancing beneath the beast's skin was actually a manifestation of energy flowing through the lymphatic network.

Each of its scales has become a miniature reactor, autonomously regulating the absorption and release of energy.

As energy absorption reached its peak, Connors' genome began to undergo dramatic reorganization.

Ancient viral genes that had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years were activated. These gene fragments, originating from the Cambrian period, acted like precise molecular scissors, trimming the imperfect DNA sequences.

Its mitochondria are undergoing quantum-level transitions, and some organelles even exhibit superconductor-like properties—zero-resistance energy transfer increases its metabolic efficiency by thousands of times.
