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

Chapter 263 Star sand? nebula?
"Nebula Potion?"

When Chen Fan finished speaking, Gao Yuan subconsciously held his breath: "Brother Fan, why, why did you mention this?"

To be honest, if Chen Fan hadn't brought it up on his own initiative, Gao Yuan would have completely forgotten it in the deepest part of his memory.

It's been too long.

The most important thing is that Nebula is a medicine that can only be used by those extreme radicals in the Mechanicum, and these extreme radicals have long since become an inconspicuous speck of dust in history.

Not to mention that the Varela civilization had moved to a new planet, the extremely cold storm that swept across the entire planet was enough to kill the extremists of the Mechanicus Cult.

Thinking of this, Isa's pretty face also showed some confusion and confusion: "Nebula... Although the names are a bit similar, there shouldn't be any connection between the two things, right?"

But Chen Fan obviously didn't think so.

Under the blank gazes of the two people, Chen Fan continued to stare at the mysterious fine sand floating slowly in the dark blue liquid in front of him: "The madman from the Mechanical Cult died after mentioning Nebula."

"Out of curiosity, I later asked Commander Meng of Varela's resistance."

"The rebels have been fighting the lunatics of the Mechanical Cult for a long time, so Commander Meng is quite familiar with the Nebula Potion."

With that said, Chen Fan reached out again to pick up the crystal cup in front of him, and brought the gorgeous but dangerous liquid to his eyes: "According to Commander Meng, the reason why Nebula Potion is called Nebula is because the user will see it when using it. To a nebula-like vision.”

"Just now, Olaya seemed to have seen such an illusion."

The expressions on Gao Yuan and Isha's faces were frozen.

"This...maybe it's a coincidence?" Isa said in a timid voice, "There is a long distance between Varela and the Bray System."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

"Coincidence?"

"I hope this is just me overthinking."

As he spoke, he glanced around.

Several blue-skinned salamanders have woken up from their hallucinations. They looked at the star sand in front of Chen Fan and the others, with extremely obvious desire and greed in their eyes.

Of course, there is also a bit of confusion hidden in the desire and greed.

There was Xingsha in front of him but he didn't drink. This was a scene they had never seen before.

Even the big-headed giant salamanders serving as waiters cast doubtful glances at Chen Fan and the others.

"Drink this cup of star sand first, so as not to be suspected."

Afraid of attracting the attention of others, Chen Fan nodded to the two assistants, then raised the crystal cup to the chin of the visor.

Drink it all in one gulp.

The empty crystal cup was placed back on the slate table with a crisp crashing sound.

The dark blue liquid quickly passed through a crack in the lower jaw of the visor and flowed extremely smoothly along a slender pipe into the cavity inside the mechanical exoskeleton armor that was specially used to store liquid samples.

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Fan slowly lay down and looked at the ceiling made of steel with "blurred" eyes.

Gao Yuan and Isha naturally "drank" the Xingsha in front of them in the same way, and then fell crookedly on the extremely wide chairs.

Seeing this scene, the giant salamanders in the distance sighed helplessly, and then withdrew their longing gazes.

……

'First, try to analyze Xingsha. '

Without any hesitation, Chen Fan gave Yi an order almost at the same time he "collapsed": "Scan Olaya's body to see if the star sand has affected his body." '

【receive. 】

An electronic synthesized sound sounded, and a small portion of the star sand stored in the cavity was taken out.

Considering that investigators perform investigative tasks, the mechanical exoskeletons of Bureau investigators are usually equipped with relatively complete detection functions.

Although the accuracy is insufficient and the detection capabilities cannot keep up with professional equipment, with basic scanning functions, a large amount of intelligence invisible to the naked eye can still be analyzed.

[No highly radioactive material detected. 】

After waiting for a moment, the electronic synthesized sound sounded in Chen Fan's mind again, and brought him some not-so-good news.

Star sand itself has no radiation.

In other words, it is not a genetic mutation caused by radiation.

The holographic mask began to reveal some symbols and data that Chen Fan could not understand at an extremely fast speed. This was an attempt to analyze the specific composition of the star sand.

'Is it harmful to humans? '

Chen Fan glanced at Olaya who was lying not far away through his visor and asked in his heart.

[Judging from the ingredients alone, it does not have any major toxic effects. 】

[But I don’t know how Star Sand works. 】

One gave the answer: [Further analysis requires the use of professional equipment. We recommend that you send it to the biological laboratory of the Administration for detailed analysis. 】

Chen Fan nodded: "How is Olaya's physical condition?" '

[There is nothing unusual at the moment. 】

[But brain activity has increased to 270% of normal levels and is still rising slowly. 】

Chen Fan suddenly realized that this should be the refreshing effect Olaya mentioned.

Increased brain activity will indeed bring this strange feeling of pleasure to intelligent creatures. "Improved by 2.7 times?" Chen Fan's face showed surprise, "Isn't there any problem?"

[There are definitely side effects. 】

Yi denied: [Normally, such a large increase in brain activity comes at the expense of the lifespan of neurons. 】

[Nanorobots have indeed detected the death of neuronal cells in large quantities. 】

'……Gone? After waiting for a moment and seeing Yi not continuing to speak, Chen Fan asked in great surprise, "Does this thing only have such side effects?" '

'What about genetic mutations? '

[Sorry, according to the current monitoring results, there is no direct connection between Xingsha and genetic mutations of organisms. 】

Chen Fan's face was completely ugly.

This is bad.

After the radiation detector, another clue broke - so far, according to various analysis results given by Yi, Xingsha is actually a drink that can temporarily stimulate the potential of the thinking organ.

In addition to being addictive and "brain-burning", it does not have many toxic side effects.

Even addiction is normal.

After experiencing an extremely clear brain, few intelligent creatures can accept themselves becoming "stupid" again.

'Could it be...'

Although there is currently no clue about the genetic mutation problem, a new idea slowly emerged in Chen Fan's mind: 'Is the Ramsey Empire invading the Bray Galaxy to obtain star sand? '

If you think about it carefully, this thing can indeed be called a strategic material.

If there are enough star sand tubes, some scientific researchers can "explode seeds" at the cost of their lives.

Although the sequelae will be more serious, there may be a qualitative leap and breakthrough in the technological level of civilization!
No wonder higher civilizations have to strictly control this drink!

Just when Chen Fan was about to get up, a piercing alarm sounded in his mind!

【there is a problem! 】

[There are abnormal changes in Olaya’s genetic sequence! ! 】

……

at the same time.

Marsh Abyss Civilization, Forum.

Several blue-skinned giant-headed salamanders walked solemnly from the landing pad not far away, then swayed up the steps and entered the magnificent forum.

After a short wait, a burst of heated discussion broke the majesty and tranquility of the chamber.

It seemed that some dispute had occurred. The skin of these blue-skinned giant fishes showed a bright blue color, and they started arguing in the hall of the meeting hall.

"Damn it! I don't agree!!"

One of the giant salamanders let out a hoarse roar: "Since the beginning of the war, how many people have we sent away?"

"If this continues, before the Ramsey Empire officially invades, our Swamp Abyss civilization may become extinct!"

A tall giant salamander looked expressionlessly at the member of the Council of Marshes who was roaring in the chamber: "The vote has been passed by the parliament. You can continue to object, but this will not affect the final execution of this order."

Next to this tall salamander, a dozen smaller giant-headed salamanders also stared at the congressman in front of them with an unusually calm attitude.

"Baroka, calm down."

"The Swamp Abyss Civilization needs Star Sand, and it also needs the armed support of the Mining Alliance."

"This is the price we have to pay."

"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down?" The congressman named Baroka became more and more agitated, "Treason, this is treason!!"

As he spoke, he swung his frayed flippers and rushed to a cold-looking salamander: "Nabi, you clearly disagreed with this proposal before!"

"Why did you suddenly change your stance? Did they threaten you?!"

Under Baroka's gaze, the congressman named Nabi gently raised his withered and thin arm, and expressionlessly brushed away Baroka's grip on his arm: "I didn't think carefully before."

"For the development of the Marsh Abyss civilization, certain sacrifices are necessary."

Baroka looked at Nabi in front of him with horrifying eyes: "Nabi..."

"You, you have changed..."

The horrified look gradually turned into heavy disappointment.

Nabi's expression fluctuated a bit, but quickly returned to calm: "I've always been like this."

"The Marsh Abyss Civilization will surely rise. For this reason, I am willing to become a sinner of the Marsh Abyss Civilization."

After the words fell, Nabi slowly turned around and walked towards the interior of the council chamber.

The tall giant salamander glanced at Baroka meaningfully, and after saying a few words, he turned and walked toward the inside of the chamber: "Congressman Baroka, sooner or later you will understand us."

Baroka watched in despair as his colleagues returned to the chamber. Feeling the extremely cold and dull eyes, he shuddered suddenly.

Changed, everything changed!

Since the invasion of the Ramsey Empire, these colleagues of his have begun to gradually change!
Thinking of the plan executor mentioned in the discussion just now, Baroka blinked slightly, and the translucent hard eye mask covered his black eyes, hiding the ruthless color in his eyes.

For the future of the Marsh Abyss civilization, he must do something! ! !
