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

Chapter 567 Brain Expansion
While inspecting the battleship's engine area, Chen Fan stared blankly at the azure light spot in front of him that seemed harmless but was actually marked with at least three high-risk exclamation marks.

The moment it approached Chen Fan, the light spot seemed to be attracted by something and sank into his body in the blink of an eye.

The fleeting feeling of "fullness" and comfort made Chen Fan's almost frozen thoughts start working again.

"Apophis..."

He widened his eyes slightly, somewhat unable to believe what he heard.

"Didn't those scorpions... explode along with the central black hole of the anti-universe?"

Although the words are a bit rough, it is the truth.

At that time, the Apophis giant scorpions, which were surrounded by the human fleet, chose a fight to the death. With the help of the time crystals inside their bodies, they caused the collapse of the central black hole in a way unknown to humans, which not only triggered the devastating black light crisis, but also put themselves into an irretrievable situation.

In theory, this is exactly how things would develop.

but……

At this time, the situation obviously had some unexpected changes.

Apophis the Giant Scorpion has mysteriously appeared in other universe bubbles again! !

Are they survivors of the anti-cosmic singularity chaos, or are they the new "army" dispatched by the Apophis civilization?
If it's the former, then it's not a big deal, but if it's the latter...

Chen Fan wanted to continue asking for details of the war, but the changing environment outside the patrol ship interrupted his thoughts - while he was lost in thought, the turbulent wormhole passage had disappeared, replaced by a busy and vast starry sky.

A huge star gate, whose boundaries cannot be seen by the naked eye, stretches across the starry sky. Starships of various sizes and shapes emerge one after another from the depths of the star gate that emits soft light, and quickly disappear into the visible universe amid waves of space-time fluctuations of varying strengths.

The human union dominates the universe, and here we are.

Like other starships, the patrol warship suddenly disappeared among the starry sky as a gradually strong space-time fluctuation swept over.

……

Dazzling light emerged from every corner of the starry sky, illuminating the starry sky, which should have been dark and deep, with incomparable brightness.

Countless dense celestial bodies are moving in an orderly manner in this bright starry sky under the control of macro-gravity. In the center of these dense celestial bodies, a gyroscope-shaped giant structure with a scale of one hundred light years is running quietly.

Endless [strings] spread out from the base of this building, precisely controlling every rule of the starry sky.

This is the absolute core of the Human Union’s main universe, the Human Union Central Academy of Sciences.

Within the Academy of Sciences, Department of Biology.

Thanks to the Academy of Sciences' area that is comparable to that of dozens of star systems, the Biology Branch, as a key branch, is also extremely large in scale - even daily commuting within the branch often requires the use of a central jump platform developed based on individual jump technology.

An experimental building with a strange shape, like a scalpel, stands quietly in a corner of the biology branch. It can be easily seen from its floor area, which is ten times that of a conventional experimental building, that this experimental building has a very special status in the biology branch.

Not only that, the dozens of independent scientific research ships with slightly different shapes docked next to the experimental building have brought the majesty of this experimental building to the extreme - in the Human Union Academy of Sciences, only the top-level I academicians have the quota for independent scientific research ships.

That's exactly what happened.

This experimental building is a comprehensive laboratory specially set up for Level I academicians.

It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the high-end biology-related technologies of the Human Alliance come from this experimental building.

The first floor of the experimental building.

hum!
As a faint space-time fluctuation whizzed past, a dazzling and distorted light appeared on the central jump platform that had been silent for a long time.

As the fluctuations in time and space gradually subsided and the light gradually faded away, four distinctive figures, three people and one stone, emerged from it.

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

A sound like metal colliding footsteps rang out in the hall.

Before the light on the jump platform completely dissipated, the shortest figure hurriedly jumped out of the jump platform.

"Hey! Isa, wait a minute!"

Two or three streaks of light flashed across the surface of the blood-red crystal stone, which was several people tall. It then glided through the air and caught up with Isa. “We have to wait for Academician Wang to come pick us up.”

"But..." Isa's anxious voice came from under the black hood, "Chen Fan..."

"There are many gates in the experimental building. If you enter without sufficient authority, you may be punished." Hongshi shook his heavy crystal body helplessly, "You don't want to cause trouble for Mr. Chen Fan, do you?"

Hongshi did not speak, but just stood there silently, casting a blank yet somewhat curious look towards the extremely spacious hall.

"And you."

Seeing Isa stop, Hongshi turned around again and shouted to the jump platform behind: "Gao Yuan, Queen Ophelia, you can get off the jump platform!"

Hearing the call of Redstone, Ophelia, accompanied by Gao Yuan, carefully walked down the jump platform that had long since returned to calm. Although she had been living in the main universe of the Human Union for some time, this kind of high-end technological creation that could be seen everywhere and far exceeded the Xinalo civilization still brought great shock to the queen.

drop.

A clear prompt sound rang out, and a human figure constructed by holographic projection gradually appeared in front of Hongshi.

"zero."

Hongshi hurriedly shook his crystal body and saluted respectfully to the figure in front of him.

"Wang Jing is already waiting for you, go quickly." Ling's expression was not relaxed, and he even looked a little serious. "The anti-universe patrol starship has arrived at the main universe gate and is currently rushing to the Academy of Sciences. It is estimated that it won't be long before Chen Fan wakes up."

As Zero finished his words, guiding arrows made up of holographic projections quickly appeared under everyone's feet and extended to the laboratory with closed doors in the distance.

……

Biological Laboratory No. 1.

The moment the access control was lifted and the door opened, everyone couldn't help but feel a palpitation when they saw Chen Fan lying peacefully in the top medical cabin with a pale face.

Five whole months!
During these five months, Chen Fan remained in a vegetative state - even worse than a vegetative state. A vegetative state at least still had some self-awareness, but Chen Fan, in a sense, was just a lump of meat that relied on biochemistry and electrical signals to maintain basic activities!
If it weren't for this top-notch medical cabin, it is conservatively estimated that Chen Fan would have become a pile of bones by now.

"... Wang, Academician Wang."

Looking at Wang Jing, who was wearing a white research robe and standing busy in front of the medical cabin, Isa called out cautiously.

"Ok?"

Wang Jing paused, then turned to look towards the laboratory door: "It's Isa..."

"Wait a little longer. The patrol warship is expected to arrive at the central star field in three minutes."

"Then Mr. Chen Fan..." Hongshi took over the conversation and asked Wang Jing.

"Don't worry, the boy is in very good condition now."

Wang Jing waved her hand and went back to adjusting the parameters of the biomedical cabin: "I've read the report. That guy almost absorbed 50% of the zero-point energy of the patrol warship along the way."

"I guess he must have starved to death in the anti-universe."

"The only thing to worry about is his physical body."

As she spoke, a hint of worry flashed across Wang Jing's eyes.

Isa's breathing stagnated, and the smile that had just appeared on her face disappeared instantly. Several slightly disordered and meaningless streams of light flashed across the surface of the red stone.

"From the comprehensive data of absorbing zero-point energy, Chen Fan's consciousness now seems to be much stronger than before."

"Although I don't know what his consciousness has been through, I am worried that... there will be some degree of compatibility issues between his current consciousness and his physical body."

"Compatibility issue?" Hongshi suddenly realized, "Are you referring to the situation I encountered during the consciousness conversion process?"

"About the same." Wang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a little more serious than yours. After all, you are only transforming within the same life level, while Chen Fan has crossed two life levels."

"But don't worry too much." Seeing that the faces of Isa and the others were getting anxious again, Wang Jing waved her hands repeatedly and nodded to several academicians in research uniforms in the distance, "Did you see that?"

“They are all Grade I academicians in biology.”

"In order to ensure the safety of this kid Chen Fan, the Academy of Sciences has used up all its resources."

Ding!
A prompt sound suddenly rang out in the laboratory, instantly interrupting everyone's thoughts.

"The patrol warship has arrived at the central star field."

There was a hint of solemnity in Zero's voice: "The information entropy fluctuations in the battleship's engine area have dropped sharply. Preliminary judgment is that Chen Fan has left the patrol starship."

Before he finished speaking, a series of bright red warning prompts representing abnormal fluctuations in information entropy popped up rapidly on the holographic interface in front of Wang Jing.

Almost at the same time, a human-shaped shadow with only a vague outline and emitting a soft white light appeared without warning right above the medical cabin in the center of the laboratory.

"I go!"

"What it is?!"

Although every academician had known about Chen Fan's existence from the information, this sudden scene still brought great shock to many academicians in the laboratory.

The quiet laboratory became chaotic.

of course.

Not only other academicians, but even Wang Jing, who was most familiar with Chen Fan, was shocked by the scene before them.

After all, in her past experience, consciousness bodies, like information flows, are simply impossible to observe with the naked eye.

"...Chen Fan?"

Wang Jing calmed himself down and carefully greeted the human-shaped light ball that suddenly appeared.

【it's me. 】

A line of text appeared on the holographic interface: [Academician Wang, can I return to my body now? ]

"you……"

Looking at the information entropy fluctuation index that had already exploded, Wang Jing's original confidence suddenly wavered a little.

She interrupted Chen Fan's attempt to "sink" and said, "Wait! Wait a minute!"

"The strength of your consciousness right now... is simply too high."

“I’m worried there might be some compatibility issues!”

"Give me a little time, I'll do one last test and adjustment!"

Seeing Chen Fan nod, Wang Jing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly turned her attention back to the holographic interface full of bright red warning prompts.

the other side.

With the appearance of Chen Fan, Ophelia, who was cautiously hiding behind Isa and Gao Yuan, with a white light also emanating from her body, seemed to have received some kind of signal at this moment, and began to flash unconsciously along the frequency of Chen Fan's consciousness.

only……

In the chaos, no one present noticed this subtle phenomenon.

In other words, even if this phenomenon was seen, no one cared about its existence - everyone present knew that the Xinalo people used light as a means of communication, and this kind of flicker was very common in the Xinalo civilization.

……

Time passes bit by bit.

After Chen Fan's consciousness hung in the air acting as a light bulb for nearly three hours, Wang Jing finally breathed a long sigh of relief and raised her head from the many holographic interfaces in front of her.

"Everything is ready, Chen Fan, you can start!"

Hearing Wang Jing's cry, Chen Fan's heart moved, and he went towards the body lying inside the medical cabin without hesitation.

Swish!
Almost at the first moment it entered my body, an unprecedented feeling of narrowness and crampedness suddenly surged into my heart.

Previously, Chen Fan had a similar feeling when he returned to his body, but...

This is the most intense one!
at the same time.

"Consciousness fluctuations detected in the target!"

"Consciousness fluctuations are increasing, and the current intensity has reached 1 carbon-based standard value!"

Listening to the broadcast coming from the side, Wang Jing stood in front of the medical cabin with her hands folded on her chest and an uneasy look on her face.

Although she had backtested the entire regression process several times, no one could be completely sure when it came to the third type of life form and the mysterious consciousness!
"…The current consciousness strength has reached 1000 carbon-based standard values!!"

“Academician Wang!” An academician raised his head suddenly and warned Wang Jing, “It has reached the critical value!”

Wang Jing took a deep breath and pressed a few buttons on the holographic interface as planned: "Start brain expansion!"

"Inject Nebula Extract!"

hum...

The moment the order was given, the originally quiet medical cabin suddenly emitted a slight buzzing sound.

Several syringes popped out quickly and pierced Chen Fan's brain with extreme precision under Zero's control. All the translucent liquid inside the syringes was also injected into it.

Looking at such a horrifying scene, Isa, who was "watching the battle" from a distance, couldn't help but frown.

"Nebula extract." Wang Jing explained to Isa and the other three while observing the parameters in the holographic interface, "After a large number of biological experiments, we found that it can not only induce high-dimensional resonance, but also quickly expand the brain area of ​​organisms."

"As for the side effects... you know that polluted information flow can cause almost irreversible cell canceration and death, but after the breakthrough in information barrier technology, we can almost completely avoid this side effect."

As Wang Jing spoke, the holographic interface that was originally flashing red warning lights gradually stabilized. At the same time, the value symbolizing the strength of the consciousness body also began a new round of surge.

Ten thousand.

One hundred thousand.

million!

Even Wang Jing couldn't help but feel a little shocked when she saw this series of astonishing numbers: "Oh my god..."

“Is this really still the body of a carbon-based creature?”

No one responded to her mumbling. At this moment, everyone present focused their attention on the medical cabin!

"drop."

The sound of a buzzer sounded quietly, and then the humming sound dissipated. The rising strength of the consciousness body finally stabilized at a terrifying number.

"Did you make it?"

Hongshi asked cautiously.

The words haven't even fallen yet!

Behind the transparent observation window of the medical cabin, Chen Fan's previously closed eyes first showed an extremely weak tremor, and then, under the gaze of everyone, these somewhat confused eyes slowly and firmly opened!
