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

After replacing three batches of materials of different natures, properties and categories, Ai Yue still couldn't find a material that could be used to advance the special scientific research project. You know, there are many rare and even precious materials. If materials of this level cannot meet the requirements, doesn't it mean that the entire project needs at least rare-level materials to advance?

But all the rare materials that Ai Yue knows about are related to the Herrscher. How many materials of this level are there in the world?

Anyway, let’s get started first.

Ai Yue sighed, then took out a light pink crystal and held it in his palm.

This is a special crystal found at the birthplace of the Eighth Herrscher. Like the "Honkai Thunder Crystal" obtained from Velvi before, it is a product that accompanies the Herrscher and has a trace of power related to the Herrscher's authority. Therefore, it is marked as "Honkai Energy Sample·Eighth Herrscher" in the system.

Things like this should have been used for research projects related to the Eighth Herrscher, but Ai Yue now wanted to know what exactly was in the special research project, so other things were put on hold for the time being.

However, holding the crystal, Ai Yue's face showed a complex expression of surprise and relief.

Now there is a good news and a bad news. The bad news is that this thing cannot promote the progress of special scientific research projects. The good news is that at least it can be confirmed that special scientific research projects do not have requirements on the grade of materials, but there are other restrictions.

Genetic transcription...so it requires genetically related materials? But I just tried using Aponya's hair, and it didn't work either?

Ai Yue shook his head, and not giving up, he took out various fusion warriors' hair and blood energy materials to test, but found that none of them worked.

Shit, forget about that for now, let’s finish the project of artificially synthesizing Honkai energy crystals as soon as possible.

Ai Yue finally sighed resignedly, closed the interface of the special scientific research project, reactivated the regular technology tree, and prepared to restart the temporarily suspended scientific research project.

However, he glanced at it unintentionally and was stunned.

In a familiar corner, the name of the familiar star has a little more unexpected description.

"Fusion Warrior Formula: Usable Value 100%."

No, this is what the specific material refers to?!

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, and then a subtle expression appeared on his face - on the one hand, he didn't need to worry about materials, which was a good thing, but on the other hand, the materials would be gone after being consumed by the system, so wouldn't the scientific research projects that have been developed also disappear after being consumed?

After confirming with Prometheus that all the current information on fusion warrior technology was backed up in her possession, Ai Yue confidently chose to use it to advance the progress of special scientific research projects.

However, the conversion progress of the special project was surprisingly slow. Ai Yue stared at the interface of the special scientific research project for five hours without moving. In order to free up his brain for the system to use, he even tried not to think about anything (of course, this kind of thing was actually useless). In the end, he simply went to sleep. As a result, after sleeping until the next day, he found that the overall progress had only advanced by one percent.

When can we use this efficiency?

The only good news is that consuming the usable value of the "Fusion Warrior Formula" will not affect its own existence, nor will it erase the memories in Ai Yue's mind. It can even be said that nothing has changed, as if it is just returning the usable value that did not exist in the first place.

It was not until a month later, when the project was finally ignited, that Ai Yue finally understood what was so special about the special scientific research project.

Unlike ordinary scientific research projects, the results of special scientific research projects cannot be mass-produced.

Although it is a technology on the surface, its realization cannot be achieved without the help of the system. Therefore, it cannot be passed on to others like ordinary scientific research projects after fully mastering the principles, just like ordinary knowledge.

But at the same time, because of the system's intervention, the results of special scientific research projects are also extremely outrageous.

The final product was made into a watch by Ai Yue and worn on his wrist.

"So, this is..." Ai Yue looked at the various patterns and silhouettes flashing on its "dial", and a subtle expression appeared on his face. "A low-end version of the super energy device?"

Chapter 26: The Birth of the Lake Fairy

"Digital transcription technology of genetic information".

To put it simply, it is a technology that converts genetic information into data.

It sounds simple, but it is not. This technology does not simply crack the content of genetic information and then input it into the computer, but converts the actual existence of genetic material itself into a pure information, which can be conveniently stored, transferred, etc.

It can be said that this technology completely breaks the inherent view that "matter is the basis of information", enabling genetic information to be stored like electronic data, greatly reducing the difficulty of long-term preservation of genetic information.

Of course, this was just Ai Yue's conclusion after a brief understanding of the technology. Ultimately, the idea that "matter is the basis of information" is merely humanity's current interpretation of the laws of nature, and it doesn't equate to the truth of the universe. Therefore, overturning it might not be so outrageous.

Of course, if the special scientific research project is only of this level, then Ai Yue would not be able to make a machine similar to the super energy instrument. The most critical point is that it may have absorbed too many scientific research projects related to Honkai energy. Therefore, the genetic information after being digitized and transcribed can be combined with Honkai energy, thus producing a phenomenon of "energy mimicry".

When this energy mimicry is combined with humans, it can enable them to exert certain abilities carried by genetic information.

Therefore, although it cannot transform Ai Yue into another species from a biological level like a real super power device, it can still allow Ai Yue to release abilities that only other people possess.

For example, as long as Ai Yue activates the genetic information from Kevin, he can temporarily use the other party's ability to control ice and snow. If he activates the genetic information from the second Herrscher or the eighth Herrscher, he can also briefly control the other party's power - of course, it is only a degraded version.

That's why Ai Yue called it a low-end version of the super-powered instrument. After all, strictly speaking, the genetic information atlas and the ability to transform into creatures of other races are the super-powered instrument's main functions, and unleashing the abilities of various creatures is just a bonus.

Of course, as long as Ai Yue can fully master this technology one day, then it would not be difficult to make a real super energy device.

The current problem is that this premise is already somewhat difficult. After all, he doesn't even understand the basic principles of this technology.

Fortunately, although I don’t understand it, it can still be used.

Ai Yue played with the dial on his wrist with a satisfied smile on his face.

Since it is a low-end super energy device, why not just call it a low-energy device?

Of course, Ai Yue did not use this somewhat stupid name in the end. After all, although this was just a low-end version of the super energy device, it was the first special equipment he owned in this world. Unlike the previous consumables such as the limited gloves, it still had to be treated seriously.

So Ai Yue finally decided to call it the Super Energy Device - after all, no one in the world could sue him for copyright infringement.

Of course, although it is a low-end version, the super power device in Ai Yue's hand has actually been improved. First of all, the operation of manually selecting the transformation object has been cancelled, and it is directly replaced by reading mental instructions and releasing it automatically. In this way, various problems caused by weird operations in the original work can be avoided.

Secondly, the super energy device in Ai Yue's hand can directly replace the energy core without the need for recharging. Moreover, since the artificial synthesis of Honkai energy crystals has been successfully developed, it can be said that there is basically no need to worry about energy problems.

However, due to the huge consumption of energy mimicry, one core can only support Ai Yue with the power of the fusion warrior for no more than 30 minutes. If the genetic information of the Herrscher is to be used, then this time will be even shorter.

Of course, a short duration is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it is also a kind of protection for Ai Yue - using this ability for a long time will put a heavy burden on him.

The human body is still too fragile, so we should hurry up and come up with the Ultimate Fusion Warrior formula.

Ai Yue actually had high expectations for the fusion warrior program. For today's humans, mass production of fusion warriors was the most convenient and most successful way to fight the collapse. However, because the previous success rate was too low, he did not want to send the warriors who could have been saved to the operating table so hastily.

After this period of iteration, the fusion warrior formula has now matured. As long as the prescribed steps are followed, even if the operation is handed over to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, the success rate will not be lower than 90%. If combined with the "Honkai Beast Gene Compatibility Screening Method" to exclude those candidates with too low compatibility in advance, the success rate of the operation can basically be stabilized at 100%.

Of course, Ai Yue’s expectation for the Fusion Warrior Formula is not just “maturity”. He hopes to continuously optimize and upgrade it through the system, and then integrate it with other similar scientific research projects to obtain more perfect results.

Deep down in Ai Yue's heart, he hopes that the "Ultimate Fusion Warrior Formula" can eventually become something like a "controllable X gene."

Of course, this was just his wishful thinking. After all, truly mastering the X gene was about as difficult as rubbing a plasma spark tower with one's hands. In comparison, the plasma spark tower was even simpler.

Speaking of which, shouldn’t we find someone to test the power of this super energy device?

Ai Yue was thinking in his mind, but suddenly he heard the voice of Prometheus: "Dr. Ai Yue, there is a call from Dr. Mebius."

It really comes to whatever you want.

Ai Yue put down the super energy device and then answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

"You haven't forgotten, have you? Today is the day the Fusion Warrior Project is restarted?" Mobius' voice on the other end of the phone was filled with deep silence. Ai Yue could even imagine the other party rolling his eyes. "Besides, with this reaction, you probably didn't read the report I sent you yesterday, right?"

Ai Yue rubbed his sore eyes. In order not to miss the moment of the special scientific research project's completion, he hadn't slept for 24 hours. Naturally, he didn't care about anything else. "What report? I remember I gave you full authority to handle the project, didn't I?"

"It's mainly a matter of selecting the participants... Never mind, nothing can be changed at this time." Mobius sighed, "Come over quickly. Everyone will feel more at ease with you here."

Who are the participants?

Ai Yue hung up the phone, then found the message Mebius had sent yesterday. After opening it, a familiar figure appeared on the photo on the first page.

"Su?"

The white-haired warrior looked at his friend with some concern. "Are you really not going to reconsider this? You don't have a reason to become a fusion warrior, do you?"

Kevin really didn't understand why Su would take the initiative to ask to participate in the Fusion Warrior Program. You know, even he knew that the relationship between the Fifth Academy of Sciences and the First Research Institute was tense. How could Spasi agree to Su doing such a reckless thing?

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, Kevin." Looking at his friend's worried expression, Su, who was lying on the nursing bed, smiled easily. "Besides, becoming a fusion warrior doesn't mean I can't be a doctor, right?"

"Can……"

"There's no longer a Fifth Science Department, Kevin." Seeing Kevin was about to say something, Su took the initiative to speak, "You should have heard the details, right? My teacher has already gone to Mu Continent to take charge of the containment and treatment projects related to Honkai Disease."

"I know, but that has nothing to do with this matter, right?" Kevin scratched his head, revealing a rare bewildered expression.

Ever since Ai Yue solved his body temperature problem, his "personality" which had become faint due to a series of experiences has gradually become clearer.

"Of course it's related, because the problem of Honkai disease has been solved, but the source of Honkai disease has not been solved." Su continued, "If you want to truly eliminate Honkai disease, you must defeat Honkai, and to defeat Honkai, you must have more fusion warriors, right?"

Kevin was silent, then finally nodded.

"It's certainly difficult for doctors to accept fusing the genes of Honkai Beasts, but if this is the only way to eradicate the disease, then doctors must stay ahead of their patients," Su said calmly. "I heard from Dr. Mebius that the success rate of the second-generation Fusion Warrior surgery is very high. Mahali and I have a very good compatibility, so there won't be any danger."

Mahali is the emperor-level Honkai beast that accompanies the Eighth Herrscher. It resembles a giant peacock, hence the code name.

After the appearance of the Eighth Herrscher, the Fire Moth realized the importance of psychic-perception fusion warriors, so this operation was mainly aimed at this aspect, hoping to once again create a powerful psychic-perception fusion warrior with gentle and controllable abilities.

"Su, are you ready?"

Just as the two of them fell silent, Dr. Mei came out of the operating room. She had already put on her full set of equipment and was obviously going to participate in this operation. "If you are ready, Kevin, you can push him in."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Kevin." Su took the initiative to speak.

Kevin still didn't say anything, just nodded, and pushed Su's nursing bed towards the operating room.

At this moment, the nearby gate suddenly opened, and Ai Yue walked in while fixing her messy hair. "I think the headquarters' transport vehicle should be upgraded. Isn't it a bit too slow?"

"Dr. Ai Yue!" Kevin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ai Yue. "You're finally here."

Compared to Mobius, Kevin still trusts Ai Yue more. This man is always one step ahead of others no matter what he does and has created countless miracles. As long as he is present, he will give people a sense of security.

"Looks like we finally made it." To save time, Ai Yue used Desdobia's energy mimicry and flew over with the help of telekinesis, so he arrived just in time. "Su, do you really need surgery?"

"As a doctor, this is my responsibility." Su's tone remained firm. "Thank you for your help, Dr. Ai Yue."

"Okay, I won't persuade you anymore." Ai Yue shook his head. He knew Su's character well, so he just patted Kevin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there's no risk of failure in the operation. Also, don't leave after it's over. I have something to talk to you about."

This is indeed the case. The safety of the second-generation fusion warrior formula is undoubtedly high. There was not even the slightest rejection reaction during the entire operation. None of the three doctors took any action, and the Kleinhe Cangxuan sisters alone completed the entire operation process.

"How boring! Is this the end?"

After confirming that everything was complete, Mebius even grumbled, "Even removing the appendix is more difficult than this, right?"

"All in all, it's a good thing that everything went smoothly." Dr. Mei breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards the preparation room. "I'll go out and share this good news with Kevin. I'll trouble you with the follow-up observation."

"I never thought I could participate in such an advanced surgery..." Danzhu looked down at her hands, her face full of disbelief, "Sister, we are so amazing!"

"Danzhu, the two of us are just responsible for passing things and wiping sweat." Cang Xuan was speechless. "The one who really does the work is Senior Sister Klein."

"That's right, Senior Sister Klein is the most powerful!"

"I just did some preparatory work ahead of time." Klein remained as calm as ever, his face expressionless except for the large dark circles under his eyes. "Also, thanks to Dr. Mebius, this surgery is basically a piece of cake."

"Humph, there won't even be any surgery in the future." Mobius turned his head and looked at Ai Yue beside him. "It won't be long before we just need injections, right?"

"That depends on the progress of your research." Ai Yue shrugged. "To be on the safe side, it's better to have a period of observation."

"You really are not willing to take any risks at all." Mobius sighed, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, you have the final say now."

As she spoke, her eyes focused on Ai Yue's left wrist again: "By the way, when did you start wearing a watch?"

Mebius knew that Ai Yue would never wear useless ornaments, so he looked at the super energy device with a hint of curiosity: "What is this?"

"You'll know soon." Ai Yue showed a mysterious smile and did not answer Mebius' question.

Since a combat test is to be conducted, the more experimental subjects the better. If other fusion fighters did not have tasks, Ai Yue would even think about fighting them all to see how good they are.

Speaking of which, since Su has completed the fusion warrior surgery, his genetic information should also be transcribed into it, right?

Just when Ai Yue's thoughts were wandering, Su suddenly let out a hoarse cry and then opened his eyes.

Because the anesthetic was still in effect, he couldn't control his body and could only force himself to open his mouth and say, "Okay, did it work?"

"Are you awake?" Ai Yue approached with a malicious smile, "Congratulations, the operation was successful, you are a girl now!"

Su: ?

Chapter 27: Stop, Stop Fighting

Seeing the panic expression on Su's usually calm face, Ai Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Of course, sex change is a lie. Even if Ai Yue really has enough ability to light up a weird technology tree like the "TS virus", he can't use his precious scientific research time on such useless technology.

Not to mention that the technological requirements of this thing are actually higher than the fusion warrior formula. If Ai Yue really wants to tinker with this kind of thing, he must at least fully master Dai Shocker's cyborg surgery.

After all, the effect of the "TS virus" is perfect gender conversion, which is not at the same level as ordinary sex reassignment surgery.

Of course, these are all off-topic. Seeing Ai Yue's smug look, Su realized that he had just been fooled and immediately felt relieved.

"You have a much worse taste than me." Mobius walked over and frowned at Su. "But to be honest, seeing that guy's student walk out of my laboratory in one piece, I always feel uncomfortable. How about we take advantage of the anesthetic effect and start to deal with it?"

Because this operation was the first practical application of the second-generation fusion warrior formula, the future conservatively estimated the operation process at the beginning and still used anesthesia for two hours for Su.

Unexpectedly, it was completed in just one hour. So although the operation is over, Su is still under anesthesia. The fact that he was able to regain consciousness now is due to the power of the psychic perception fusion warrior.

"You two, please stop making fun of me." Su Ku, knowing that they were just talking nonsense, gave a helpless smile. "By the way, is there any way to quickly dissipate the anesthesia?"

"That depends on you." Ai Yue raised an eyebrow. "From the results, you've become a psychic-sensing fusion warrior, just as planned. Anesthesia, after all, is just a drug that acts on the nervous system, blocking the conduction of peripheral nerves. By using your powerful mental power to guide it, you should be able to enter the paralysis state earlier."
