Transform into Ruan Mei and start from the battlefield of national destiny

For Kevin, a transfer student, Changkong City is just "the city where high school is located", but for Mei, Changkong City is her hometown.

Nuclear bomb, the ultimate weapon of mankind, how could Mei, as a scholar, not know how powerful it is.

Before Mei's eyes, the city of Changkong seemed to have turned into a white land. The towering buildings collapsed into one-story ruins, and the tree-lined streets turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Then, Mei thought about her research and why she joined the Fire Moth. She took a deep breath and looked at Kevin: "Where are the survivors in the coffee shop? How are they doing?"

Kevin took a deep breath and told Mei the news he had received from Hen: "The evacuation was very hasty. They didn't have time to leave."

The hand holding Kevin's collar loosened weakly, and Mei let out a sigh that was almost a whisper: "Is that so..."

She turned around and looked at her laboratory. She had worked so hard and overtime just to save her compatriots, but now, all of this was meaningless.

"Mei..." Kevin felt distressed when he saw his girlfriend with her eyes downcast in his arms, but he was not a fickle person. After calling out her name from his throat, Kevin didn't know how to comfort her.

After all, what she lost was the hometown where she was born and raised.

The only thing Kevin could do was to hold the person in his arms tightly.

Drop drop drop-

Suddenly, the sound of the communicator broke the quiet atmosphere in the corridor, and Kevin subconsciously reached for his waist.

"Hen's call?" Kevin looked at the name displayed on the communicator in surprise, not knowing whether he should hang up now or...

Adolescent boys and girls always have beautiful visions of love and always value love more than anything else.

"Answer it." Mei said softly.

Kevin nodded and answered the call: "This is Kevin."

"Kevin, have you seen Mei?" Hen's voice came from the other end of the communicator, and his tone seemed a little complicated.

"Yes, she is right next to me." Kevin looked at Mei in his arms and replied.

"I see..." Hen took a puff of his cigarette, "I have some good news for you, it's a little comfort."

"The nuclear bomb destroyed the entire city, but everyone in that coffee shop survived," said Hen.

"How is that possible!"*2

"Yeah, how ##is it possible? That's ##more than a dozen nuclear bombs. The whole city ##was flattened!" Hen's uneasy voice came from the communicator. The harsh sound even made Kevin subconsciously hold the communicator farther away. Hen, who was always calm, also swore at this time.

Some time ago.

"It has been detected that the concentration of collapse in Changkong City has dropped significantly and has returned to normal levels!" An on-site inspector said loudly while looking at the data from the instrument in his hand.

Not long ago, more than ten nuclear bombs were launched, causing a devastating blow to Changkong City. The rising flames even made the inland country across the sea think that another sun had appeared in the sky.

The tremors even caused a series of chain reactions in the already unstable earth's crust, and the entire country experienced a small earthquake.

At present, there is almost no sign of civilization in Changkong City. Instead, it looks like the surface of the moon.

The soil crystallized under high temperature and high pressure, and no signs of life were visible. The skyscrapers that originally served as the surface of Changkong City had disappeared. Only the stone pestle that was taller than the surrounding area showed that there was originally a building here.

As for the Honkai Beast, it was naturally wiped out.

This was also a coincidence. The Third Herrscher was cautious and chose to hide in Qianyu Academy and observe the situation secretly when facing the nuclear bomb attack. So when the nuclear bomb came in front of her, she was unable to react.

The consequence of being hit by a nuclear bomb in the face is destruction for a Third Herrscher who has not yet fully developed. His body is directly annihilated, leaving only a gem lying quietly under the hard soil.

The Herrschers and Honkai Beasts were all defeated, so the cleanup team naturally had to deal with the aftermath of Changkong City.

A small team was walking on a barren land with instruments.

"Report, a weak Honkai energy reaction was detected, but no signs of life were found at the target location. It is suspected to be related to the Herrscher." A team member walking in the front suddenly stopped, fiddled with the instrument in his hand for a while, and then continued.

"Everyone be on alert and move towards the target location immediately!" The captain in charge of this team raised his hand and gave the order.

So the team quickened their pace and quickly explored towards the target point.

After going around a slightly higher earth slope, everyone saw a black dot in the distance.

The black spot was very conspicuous in the desolate surroundings.

"What is that?" asked a team member.

"I don't know, it should be something?" Another team member replied with nonsense.

The captain picked up the telescope and aimed it at the black spot. After seeing it clearly, he was shocked: "It's a house in ##!"

"What!" Everyone was stunned.

"I even saw living people inside!" The captain's hands were shaking as he held the telescope, because the scene before him was so challenging to his worldview.

"Captain, you must be seeing things! That's the heart-breaking point!"

The entire Changkong City was flattened, and now they say there's a house near the hypocenter, and there are people inside? What a joke!

"Could it be the Herrscher?" A team member expressed his opinion. The only possibility now is that the monster called the Herrscher found a house and hid there.

Everyone was talking about it, and the captain did not dare to risk his own life, so he immediately reported the situation to his superiors, and the task was soon handed over to the combat team.

So, Hen returned here and looked at the coffee shop in front of him. It was intact, even the paint on the sign was not peeling off. He felt absurd and unbelievable.

"Let someone organize the evacuation, and then report the situation here truthfully." Hen waved to his deputy, and then he found a place not far away and sat down.

He really didn't have the face to see these people because they had all been abandoned and were supposed to become a string of numbers under nuclear weapons.

They did not wait for rescue, but destruction from their own people.

He took a deep puff of cigarette and coughed violently a few times because he hadn't smoked for a long time. Then he took out the communicator and called Kevin.

If those people knew about this coffee shop that still stands, they would go crazy.

This thought suddenly flashed through Hen's mind.

Chapter 55 Surgery

"Has the last person been rescued?"

"Yes, he has been brought out, but he has fainted. According to the doctor, he was frightened."

"It's a shock again. This is the first time someone has fainted from shock."

"I can't help it. I was an observer at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, and I was exposed to the explosion up close. Now it seems I was actually quite lucky."

"Who says it's not true? He was exposed to the instantaneous temperature of the sun up close, and he survived. Even if he brags about it later, it'll be something to talk about."

"Headquarters will definitely conduct a replica experiment in the future. Do you plan to apply to be a close-up observer?"

"Ah? Me? Never mind, I was just saying that. I value my life very much, but I don't dare to gamble."

"I didn't realize you valued your life. Who in our team is like you, always on the front line of the collapse?"

"...That being said, when I'm old, if this coffee shop still exists, I'll definitely come and see it for myself."

"It's definitely there. Even a nuclear bomb can't reach it. How could it collapse in just a few decades? You should worry about whether they will still conduct nuclear bomb experiments here when you are old."

"That's right... Is it my imagination? Why does this room seem to become... a little unreal?"

"Ah...wait, I saw it too. The sign turned into a blue phantom. What happened?"

"The whole house is ghosted. Wait, it's gone?!"

despair--

A crisp sound.

The playback of the video material stopped at this moment.

On the big screen, the house turned into a blue shadow, then turned into light spots and particles and disappeared into the air.

"How on earth was this done?" a scholar in the conference room expressed such emotion.

Because the scene in the video is too unreal. If it simply turned into an illusion and disappeared, it could be considered a prank or a trick achieved using projection technology. But if two more prerequisites are added - the ability to avoid the perception of the Honkai Beast and the ability to withstand the high temperature and impact of a nuclear bomb explosion, then its existence is definitely not just an illusion.

Shock and confusion were the emotions stirring in the hearts of everyone present.

As scientists who were able to be recruited by the Fire Moth, they were definitely the top in their respective fields, guides admired by countless people, and had their own dignity. However, at this moment, facing this scene that obviously should not have existed but happened in the century, they did not even have a single thought.

"Yes, everyone, this is the topic that the parliament hopes you will jointly research in the future. As long as we can find a way to replicate it, there will be fewer casualties in the fight against Honkai." The host of the meeting looked at the experts and scholars present and stated the parliament's requirements.

In fact, it's not just the parliament, there are also many bigwigs who have heard about this. After all, once such technology is realized, it means that they will have an absolutely safe shelter that can resist all external malice.

"Okay, the next arrangements have been sent to everyone's email. Let's adjourn the meeting now." The host knocked on the table and announced the end of the meeting.

The door of the conference room opened and participants came out in twos and threes, some in deep thought, some communicating, all about the extremely sci-fi technology in the video.

Of course, they could not find the path to the answer no matter what. Even if this technology was just a random topic that Ruan Mei used to kill time, the research data about it had already been sucked into the body of the Devourer Luohou along with the experimental notes she wrote casually, like waste paper thrown into the trash can.

……

World Serpent, inside Mebius's laboratory.

A series of bubbles emerged from several petri dishes, disrupting the image reflected on the glass wall.

The owner of the laboratory, Mebius, was lying on the operating table at this moment, while another person in the laboratory, Ruan Mei, was standing in front of the operating table.

"Are you ready, Mebius?" Ruan Mei lowered her head and looked down at her adopted daughter.

Mebius nodded. "Yes, all preparations have been completed. All steps have been simulated and confirmed to be correct."

"Besides, it's you, my mother, who's performing the surgery on me. What else am I not prepared for?"

All the steps were calculated and designed by Möbius, and only the final surgical process was handed over to Ruan Mei. After all, no matter how powerful Möbius was, she couldn't perform surgery on herself now - maybe she could in the future, but not now.

The fusion warrior operation, fusing Mebius and Shesha, became a big step for Mebius towards her dream and also a big step for her to respond to her mother's expectations.

"Then let's get started. I will imitate your technique exactly, so now, take a nap." Ruan Mei stretched out her hand, and placed her slightly cool palm on Mebius' cheek. She fell asleep with a peaceful sleepiness.

A figure quietly appeared on the glass wall of the petri dish.

"The experimental body has been extracted, and it's very well-behaved." Ruan Mei said softly from inside the glass, her head down as she embroidered something.

"Yeah, I already feel it." Ruan Mei nodded.

"There are some flaws in Mobius's deduction. Are you sure you don't want to correct it?" she asked again through the glass.

Ruan Mei shook her head slightly.

"Are you sure? This flaw may make her future path much more difficult and may also affect the research of the subject." The person in the mirror asked.

"That's not necessary. I still remember a saying—for a genius, nothing is more precious than failure," Ruan Mei said, revealing a gentle smile. "Besides, humans overestimate logic. Clinging to rationality can make us slaves to our emotions—science is born out of fanaticism."

"My intuition tells me that letting go is a better choice. I look forward to the uncertain experimental results, which may be beyond my expectations," said Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei in the mirror did not ask any more questions, but her figure suddenly jumped to a place closer to Mebius - to a scalpel that was originally reflected on the laboratory ceiling.

Ruan Mei picked up the scalpel.

"It's time to start, her experiment, my experiment." Ruan Mei stretched out her hand on the scalpel, blood covered the blade and also drowned out her subsequent voice.

"My intuition tells me, Mebius, that you will become a true genius."

Chapter 56 Guide

This conversation took place a few months later.

"The solar system is a galaxy that is enclosed. Everything outside the system is isolated by a 'shell'. Whether it is ripples from the outside or waves from the inside, they are all confined to their own areas and cannot affect each other."

"The dual isolation, both physical and conceptual, even the speed of time is completely different."

"Yes, as you guessed before, the cocoon is what does all this. Think of it as an egg. The eggshell is the barrier. Inside the eggshell is the solar system, and outside the eggshell is the vast Milky Way."

"The cocoon you see is the egg yolk."

In the lonely and cold vacuum, Ruan Mei strolled on the desolate planet, and beside her, a ball of light floated quietly. Following Ruan Mei's movements, a mechanical sound without any emotion flowed out from the ball of light.

It's a vacuum, but it can't block out the sound.

"I have to say, this is the first time I've seen a world of this magnitude... You know everything that happened after that. I was captured by the Order Envoy you mentioned. Using all my strength, combined with my deductions from the cocoon, he further magnified this isolated world."

"Here, I think I should express my gratitude to you. If it weren't for you replenishing my energy, I would have triggered the self-destruction program during the long hibernation." The ball of light said here and floated in front of Ruan Mei.

"If the program is destroyed, will a life like yours also die?" Ruan Mei's eyes moved slightly.

"Typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions... Our existence is no different from these. It is just a natural phenomenon, not as mysterious as you think. At best, we are just at a higher position and possess some extraordinary abilities." The light ball continued to introduce to Ruan Mei.

"As for the destruction process, let me give you an example that's easier for you to understand. For example, the assessment deadline arrives, but the KPI hasn't been met, so you're fired from the company. As for this company, it's all the worlds that cause natural phenomena."
