Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

If this is really the prototype of the Holy Mark, then Ai Yue only needs to figure out the reason for its birth and catalyze it, so that he can once again improve the combat effectiveness of the fusion warriors and may even promote the evolution of mankind.

The stigmata are actually different from fusion warriors. They do not necessarily need the genes of Honkai beasts to drive them. If they can be used properly, they can even allow humans to gain powerful strength without affecting the purity of their own genes.

If the Stigma Project and the Divine Sound Project can be implemented simultaneously, it will definitely be an earth-shaking revolution for the overall strength of human civilization.

Moreover, Ai Yue had a vague feeling that the secret hidden in this unknown ingredient was more than that.

"Dr. Ai Yue."

At this moment, Prometheus suddenly said, "I think you need to come and see this."

"what happened?"

Ai Yue raised his head and said, "Aren't you in charge of the physical examinations of the fusion warriors? Is there something wrong over there?"

"If something good is short for something bad, then yes."

Prometheus responded with the humor unique to artificial intelligence, "Trace amounts of the Stigma Factor were detected in the blood of the 24 fusion warriors led by Miss Sakura."

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It seems that there is no need to worry about the reason for the birth of the Deep Scar Factor anymore."

Chapter 55: How can someone who cannot die be afraid of death?

The biggest difference between the team led by Sakura and other teams is that they do not have their own fixed base and jurisdiction like other teams, but are an emergency mobile combat force.

The so-called "emergency mobility" naturally means being on standby at all times to deal with various emergencies. In other words, wherever the Honkai disaster occurs exceeds the upper limit of the local response capacity, Sakura and the others will go there to help.

It was precisely because of this that Ying and his companions did not have their own base. Instead, they had a mobile aerial fortress that not only used the most advanced Honkai energy engine but also was equipped with four "Herrser of Domination Cores. Each core's related power was related to the Herrser of Wind power that could create ideal fluids."

On weekdays, this aerial fortress would rely on anti-gravity devices to maintain its lift, and then move with the movement of the atmosphere. Once an emergency occurs, it can use the power of the Ruler of Domination core to burst out at speeds exceeding 5,000 kilometers per hour, thereby quickly traveling to any place on the earth.

Of course, this is just a stopgap measure. The real emergency mobility will have to wait until Ai Yue's portals are spread all over the world. At that time, no matter where the disaster occurs, troops can be mobilized through the portals, and it will be possible to truly achieve support from all sides when one side is in trouble, and the whole world will be an emergency mobile combat force.

The most important thing about the emergency mobile combat force is that it must be capable enough to fight. After the first generation of fusion warriors have been basically dismantled and assigned to different regions, it becomes particularly important to train a team of fusion warriors that can take on this responsibility.

This is also the reason why Sakura takes the team members to travel around the world. Without high-intensity training, they cannot grow quickly.

Although Sakura's team members are the elite among the second batch of fusion warriors and were already battle-hardened soldiers before undergoing surgery, the fighting style of fusion warriors is different from that of ordinary soldiers after all. In addition, Sakura also has to pass on her skills and experience, so high-intensity combat is naturally unavoidable.

The difference between them and the ordinary second-generation fusion warriors probably lies here. Even though the second-generation fusion warriors are also receiving training from Hen, that level of training is obviously much easier than Ying's standard of directly sending people to the battlefield.

So that's why they have the stigma factor in their bodies - is it the trials between life and death that stimulate the human body's potential and give birth to this strange substance?

There seems to be nothing wrong with this inference, and the cases of Mebius and Apolonia can also prove this from the opposite situation.

After all, one of them is a scientist who stays in the laboratory all day, and the other is a psychic who works in psychological counseling. Their only battlefield experience is basically clearing out miscellaneous soldiers, and it is almost difficult to say that they have experienced the test between life and death.

"Hint: There are loopholes in your speculation."

Prometheus expressed his opinion on Ai Yue's speculation, "If this theory is true, then Dr. Mebius's stigma factor content should far exceed Mr. Kevin's. After all, others are just wandering between life and death, while she dies every six hours on average."

"You overlooked a premise. That is the potential that humans unleash when facing the threat of death. That is the key to the birth of the Stigma Factor."

Ai Yue obviously had his own speculations. "In Mobius's state, it's probably difficult for him to have any fear of death. Without the desire to live, there's naturally no soil for the birth of the Stigma Factor."

"So the 'mental' variable is involved again?"

Today, Prometheus no longer needs emojis to express her current mood. Instead, her avatar's face expresses a vivid expression. "This touches upon my blind spot in knowledge. With all due respect, I'll take my leave."

"Who isn't? Like I figured it out."

Ai Yue also sighed, "I have a hunch that if we can fully understand the mystery of human consciousness, we will be able to..."

"Dr. Ai Yue, I must remind you that this is not the first time you have brought up this topic."

Prometheus said mercilessly, "Given your achievements in other fields, I don't think you should have remained so unimproved even in the spiritual realm for so long. Shouldn't you reflect on whether you've been putting in enough effort?"

"Rose, you're becoming less and less considerate."

Ai Yue pretended to be sad and said, "As my assistant, shouldn't you comfort me at this time? At least you should change the subject!"

"Based on my simulation of Dr. Ai Yue's personality, I can tell you that you wouldn't be affected by such words. Your current expression is a complete fake."

Prometheus's tone was as calm as usual, but in this situation it seemed particularly cold. "Furthermore, as this machine is your assistant, it is naturally necessary for me to urge you to work hard on your research and save the world as soon as possible."

"That's easy to say..."

Ai Yue shook his head, glanced at Padufils who had curled up in the corner and fallen asleep, then sighed softly, "But it's not that simple."

The key problem that makes it difficult for Ai Yue to make achievements in the spiritual field is that the technology tree in this field is almost independent of the existing technology system. If he wants to use conventional methods to light up related technologies, he must spend a lot of time and materials to build the system from scratch, which is obviously unrealistic given the difficulties faced by mankind today.

After all, his system is only single-threaded and can only handle one project at a time. If all his energy is concentrated on spiritual projects, the technological development of human civilization as a whole will basically be stagnant.

So he could only choose another way, which was to find materials with "rare" level spiritual properties. Through the characteristics of rare level materials, he could directly skip all prerequisites and start any project related to the spiritual realm.

But the problem now is that materials of this level are simply not available.

The only material Ai Yue had ever handled that met this requirement was the "spiritual sample of the Eighth Herrscher" that he had captured in his dream. However, that sample was identified by the system as material related to the "Eighth Herrscher," and the items that could be activated were all related to the Eighth Herrscher's powers.

Moreover, in order to accurately locate the Eighth Herrscher like finding a needle in a haystack, Ai Yue had used it directly. Although the technology obtained could be said to be related to consciousness, it was obviously not applicable to the research of the Stigma Factor now.

After all, the properties currently displayed by the Stigma Factor not only include mental power, but also genetic information and Honkai energy...

When Ai Yue thought of this, he was suddenly stunned.

So, is there a possibility that he can try to artificially synthesize the stigma factor?

Chapter 56: No, you two haven’t even reached the tug-of-war stage.

"Dr. Ai Yue, are you looking for us?"

Following the inquiry, two figures appeared together in the Light Star Experimental Base. They were Kosmo and Desdobia, who had been specially arranged by Ai Yue to be stationed in Australia.

Although they nominally led a team each, since their bases were basically built together and the two teams had been training for battlefield cooperation, they spent more time together every day than before.

"Oh, come here."

Ai Yue, who was busy standing in front of the laboratory table, turned his head to take a look and pointed to the equipment beside him: "Go over there to draw blood and do a physical examination."

"Oh."

Kosmo had no doubts about Ai Yue's words, so he walked directly to the equipment and showed his wrist.

After a year of getting along, Kosmo's trust in Ai Yue has reached a level close to Kevin's. In addition, the other party also gave him an armored driver, so although Kosmo did not show it on the surface, he actually regarded Ai Yue as a friend.

Not only him, but also Desdobia was the same. Although she did not treat Ai Yue as a friend for some strange reason like Kosmo did, she would not question the requests he made.

"Speaking of which, are we the only two getting the physical?"

After drawing blood, Kosmo asked, "And isn't just drawing blood a bit too simple? Isn't there anything else we need to do?"

"The other projects are next door. Just go over there after you finish having your blood drawn."

Ai Yue didn't look back. "As for the other people in your base, there is no need for a physical examination at the moment."

"I see,"

Kosmo nodded, "Shall we go over there first?"

"Just go one by one. We can only examine one person at a time anyway."

Only then did Ai Yue put down what he was doing, turned around, and waited until Kosmo left the room before abruptly asking, "Hasn't it been taken yet?"

"what?"

Desdobia subconsciously made a puzzled sound, and then realized what Ai Yue was asking. She blushed and said, "What, what do you mean by taking it down..."

"You didn't think anyone noticed?"

Ai Yue looked at the other party's reaction and couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression. "This is an opportunity created specifically for you. You didn't do anything, did you?"

"Huh? Everyone knows?"

Desdobia was stunned for a moment, then she slowly squatted down and covered her face with her hands, "How, how could this be!"

Ai Yue looked at Desdobia and didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the original plot, because Desdobia died in the disaster caused by the Eighth Herrscher, she did not occupy many scenes. Ai Yue's previous impression of her was only that she "gives gifts to other fusion warriors." Apart from that, it is difficult to say what other characteristics she has.

Even whether there was any affection between Desdobia and Kosmo was not revealed in the original plot.

But due to Ai Yue's intervention, the original plot has undergone tremendous changes, and Desdobia was able to survive, so from this perspective, Ai Yue is actually her savior - although no one except Ai Yue would know this.

It was precisely because of this that Ai Yue was able to confirm that the girl in front of him did indeed harbor feelings for Kosmo that went beyond comradeship, but whether Kosmo himself had this intention was really hard to say.

After all, his current mental state is not much different from that of a 14-year-old kid with a second-year syndrome. It is still unknown whether he can develop such consciousness.

Therefore, if Daisy Dobia cannot take the initiative, the problems of these two people may be more troublesome than those of Kevin and May.

"It seems you haven't made up your mind yet."

Thinking of this, Ai Yue couldn't help but shook his head, "I was too talkative, let's just pretend nothing happened just now."

"No, Dr. Ai Yue, I don't want to wait any longer."

Desdobia had already managed her emotions and stood up again. "But that guy Amo is really... Anyway, do you have any solutions?"

Obviously, Desdobia has been very troubled by this matter. After all, Kosmo is slow to say the best, and has no awareness of this at all to say the worst. The only difference between him and the Chuunibyou is that he really has extraordinary powers and a set of armor systems that can be transformed. Apart from that, they are exactly the same.

Sometimes Desdobia would have self-doubt late at night, wondering why she liked this kind of guy, but once she saw Kosmo enthusiastically sharing his things with her during the day, she would be uncontrollably drawn into his emotions.

"It's very simple."

Ai Yue reached into his pocket as if he had been prepared, took out a tube of pink medicine and handed it to her, "Find a night when you are alone, find a way to mix this stuff with water and let him drink it, and then directly-"

He did not finish his words, but made a gesture that had to be blurred to explain the "fait accompli" plan on his own behalf.

"This, this, this kind of thing won't work!"

Desdobia blushed and snatched the tube of medicine from Ai Yue's hand, but shook her head, "Dr. Ai Yue, you misunderstood me... I'm not sure what Ah Mo thinks now!"

What troubled Desdobia the most was actually this matter - if this feeling was just her one-sided wishful thinking, then she would rather bury it deep in her heart and never show it.

This was probably her last bit of reserve.

"I see."

Ai Yue also realized at this time that he had ignored the girl's delicate thoughts, and then nodded, "Then let me ask for you?"

"May I?"

Desdobia was delighted at first, but then she realized, "You wouldn't ask as directly as this plan, would you?"

The girl thought about the violent plan provided by Ai Yue, and her tone became suspicious.

"What are you talking about? Do I look like an idiot?"

Ai Yue waved his hand, revealing the demeanor of a master, "Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is arranged clearly for that guy."

Desdobia was still hesitating, but Kosmo had already returned: "Desdobia, it's your turn."

"I see!"

Desdobia responded, then bowed slightly to Ai Yue and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, she turned around and passed by Kosmo.

"What's wrong with Daisy? You look like you're worried."

Kosmo looked at his slightly abnormal partner with some confusion, "Dr. Ai Yue, what did she ask of you?"

"Nothing, just some data needs to be kept confidential."

Ai Yue lied without changing her expression, "After all, she's a girl, you know."

"Oh, weight or something like that, right?"

Kosmo nodded in agreement, "I don't understand why Daisy cares so much about this. She's not fat."

"You still don't know enough about women."

Ai Yue couldn't help but shook his head. "Loving beauty is a woman's nature. No matter what kind of woman she is, even if she is extraordinary, she can't avoid this."

Who could have imagined that even a woman like Aponya would be so obsessed with her weight?

"I see,"

Kosmo nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ai Yue, "Dr. Ai Yue, do you know a lot about women?"

"well enough,"
