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

Aponya said with a smile, and glanced at Ai Yue again, "As for rest, let's wait until next time. After all, there are people who are working harder than me this time."

why do you look at me?

Ai Yue, who was drinking soda, was shocked and felt as if something bad was going to happen.

"That's true. In that case, let's not open this bottle of wine for now."

Eden also glanced at Ai Yue, then nodded thoughtfully and put the wine away. "Why don't we leave now and go find Ai Li first?"

Aponya showed an approving look: "Very good."

So the two of them left here talking to themselves, leaving Ai Yue still a little confused.

"I don't know what they are doing here."

Ai Yue put down the cup and said, "Never mind, Hua, I'll give you a detailed examination first."

Although this version of the "Shenyin Project" proposed by Ai Yue still uses the original name, its content is completely different from the original plot.

In the original plot, Shenyin used the characteristics of "commandments" to affect people, thereby exerting psychological suggestion on humans like a "thought stamp". Under the influence of this psychological suggestion, people's spirit will be affected first, and then the mental interference will spread to the body, causing the body to gradually adapt to the changes of Honkai energy.

As expected, if such mental interference can affect humans for a long time, perhaps new humans who can fully control Honkai energy will be born in the future.

However, the old version of the Shenyin Project had a fatal problem. In order to prevent people from being eroded by contact with Honkai energy, the "Thought Stamp" would also be set up with hostility and hatred towards Honkai. Although such a mechanism is a kind of insurance, overly strong mental interference is obviously a hidden danger in itself.

Being constrained by this kind of ideological imprint for a long time will make human beings become more and more distorted and eventually turn them into cold and rigid machines.

Therefore, Ai Yue added his own scientific research results to the original Shenyin Plan, and finally proposed a new version of the Shenyin Plan.

This plan not only interferes with the human spirit, but also interferes with Honkai energy itself.

Chapter 23 This is not hurt, it is love.

Ai Yue has never given up his research on Honkai energy.

Ever since he split the Honkai energy and obtained the "fragment of will" from an unknown person, Ai Yue has been trying to analyze the specific composition of this thing and try to trace its origin.

However, all attempts so far have ended in failure. Even the system, having used the same material once, does not provide any more valuable information.

Of course, this fragment of will of unknown origin can allow the "special research project" that activates the system to reveal some information. You must know that after that, Ai Yue never activated this system again.

The "digital transcription technology of genetic information" obtained from the special research project has now been successfully applied in one of the "virtual Honkai beast technology" that exceeds everyone's imagination. The most outrageous thing about this technology is that its theoretical basis itself is not a product of this world at all. It is something that only Ai Yue can create with the help of the system.

It is precisely because of this that the "Virtual Honkai Beast Technology" has been delayed in being made public as a means of defending against Honkai disasters. After all, its production is limited. Now that Ai Yue needs the system to research new projects 24 hours a day, he only has ten sets of equipment.

However, with the power of the Ruler of Domination, this problem may have a solution - although the power of the Ruler of Domination is not enough to solve the production problem, Ai Yue can use the "pseudo-rule network" to transmit spiritual power over long distances with almost no loss, making it possible to materialize virtual Honkai beasts over long distances.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that the theoretical basis of virtual Honkai beasts does not exist in this world. Does this mean that this is a common feature of all "special research projects"?

If this is true, then is the "fragment of will" from the unknown person also something that does not belong to this world?

Unfortunately, even if this information could be confirmed, it would not help Ai Yue make a breakthrough in the existing problem. After a long period of fruitless research, Ai Yue finally made a bold attempt.

During the long analysis, the only valuable information Ai Yue obtained was that this fragment of will would react to human mental activities, but perhaps his mental activities were not intense enough, so the feedback he received was extremely slight. If the accuracy of the equipment had not been updated for the third time, it would have been difficult to capture even this slight fluctuation.

So Ai Yue handed the fragment of will, which was less than one-tenth the size of a grain of rice, to Aponya, hoping that the most powerful psychic among humans could use his own means to obtain valuable information from it.

However, although Ai Yue knew the risks involved before making this decision and had made very thorough precautions, the scene that happened at that time is still fresh in his memory.

"Aponya, I'm going to ask you one last time."

Ai Yue held the container that sealed the fragment of will in his hand, his expression very serious. "This is just a request, not an order. If you don't want to try, you can refuse."

"Ai Yue, you came to me for help, yet you still said something like this. You really look very contradictory right now."

The nun, who had a considerable understanding of human nature, smiled gently and took the container from Ai Yue without hesitation. "If you weren't desperate, I believe you would never come to me, right?"

"I admit I'm a little anxious now. If the Herrscher Core and potion hadn't worked, I definitely wouldn't have come to you."

Ai Yue sighed, "But deep down, I don't want you to take any risks... I'm sorry for throwing the choice to you in such a despicable way."

Ai Yue was extremely conflicted at the moment. Based on his own moral standards, he would never allow himself to let others do such a risky experiment. However, if there was a breakthrough in the research on the fragments of will, it might even be possible to reverse the current disadvantageous situation of mankind facing collapse from the root. How could Ai Yue give up such a possibility?

He felt a bit like a bitch.

"Why do you need to apologize, Ai Yue?"

Aponia shook her head. "For so long, I've only been able to watch you toil away for this world, unable to offer any substantial help. For me, this feeling is the most painful. Now, I finally have the opportunity to help you. No matter what it takes, I won't refuse."

"That's why I feel so despicable."

Ai Yue sighed, and finally made up his mind. He reached out to take the container from Aponya's hand, "Forget it, I still can't take risks with you. At worst, the research will be postponed, but this matter shouldn't affect it..."

Between the future of all mankind and the safety of Aponia, Ai Yue chose the latter this time.

"No, I want to do it."

Aponya took a step back and said with equal determination, "Because you are in pain now."

"Ai Yue, we are not pets that need to be held in your hands and cared for. We are partners who walk side by side with you. Although it is difficult for us to help you, the more so, the more I cannot give up this opportunity."

As she spoke, she opened the container. As the internal mechanism turned, an object as small as a grain of sand was pushed up steadily and exposed to Aponya's sight.

Ai Yue was horrified: "Wait..."

The next second, the container in Aponya's hand fell quietly, and at the same time, an unknown mental shock hit Ai Yue's mind. Severe pain and indescribable confusion invaded his mind, directly interrupting his next words.

He later learned that at that moment, all the Honkai beasts within a hundred kilometers of the Light Star Experimental Base died silently in an instant. Even the lifeless drones and various electronic equipment inside the experimental base had a five-second blank time for unknown reasons, and more than 50,000 drones suffered varying degrees of damage.

But at that time, Ai Yue only knew that something was wrong with Aponiya in front of him.

Her eyes suddenly opened wide, so violently that the corners of her eyes were torn, and blood mixed with tears flowed down. The expression on her face was ferocious and distorted, looking extremely terrifying.

"Apponia!"

Ai Yue recovered from the indescribable shock and immediately rushed over to stab a potion into the other person's neck, "How do you feel! Wake up!"

Rashly activating the fragments of will will lead to unimaginable consequences. The biggest problem is the safety of Aponiya who comes into contact with it. Therefore, Ai Yue specially prepared equipment that can protect the brain and potions to boost spirits. As a result, Aponiya brought the equipment, but before the potion could be used, Aponiya had already opened the container.

"So... painful... so tormented..."

It was unknown whether the potion had taken effect, or whether Aponya's mental strength was strong enough, but after Ai Yue approached, her sluggish pupils finally regained some luster, reflecting Ai Yue's figure, "Okay..."

The expression on her face changed at this moment. The original hideousness and distortion disappeared, replaced by a thick and sticky emotion.

The next second, Aponya suddenly exerted force and pushed Ai Yue to the ground.

"Apponia?"

Chapter 24: So he’s waiting for me here.

By the time Aponya returned to normal, about five hours had passed.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened, so..."

Aponia took out a brand new white coat from the side and put it on, covering the already tattered nun's uniform and her body. She looked at Ai Yue with an apologetic expression, "That thing is indeed too dangerous."

"Stop it."

Ai Yue rolled his eyes. After making sure Aponya was safe and sound, he returned to his usual state. "You've been awake at least three hours ago. Don't think I can't see it."

Faced with Ai Yue's testimony, Aponya was speechless and could only lower his head silently, "I repent."

"Never mind. Ultimately, I have bigger problems."

Ai Yue struggled to get up from the ground and didn't say anything more. "Let's get down to business. What do you feel about that fragment?"

"Very complex and intense emotions."

Aponia savored the memory, trying to organize her words. "How can I describe it? It's like being overly disappointed and regretful about myself, and that's when all the hope and love in my heart, mixed with other emotions, poured into it..."

At the end of the conversation, she couldn't help but look at Ai Yue with curiosity: "Where did you get something like this?"

Before this, Ai Yue did not tell her the origin of this fragment of will, but only said that such a special substance was discovered during the research process.

"Don't ask about these things."

Ai Yue rubbed his brows with a headache. "In short, from your description, it sounds like some twisted parent... But we weren't your children, were we?"

"It seems that this description is not impossible,"

Aponya thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head. "But I always feel that this isn't an emotion that can be easily described from a human perspective or with human emotions."

"All in all, I think I've solved part of the mystery, although it has also led to more questions."

Ai Yue sighed, "Besides this, what other feelings do you have?"

If the fragment of will contained such emotions, it would be consistent with the information Ai Yue obtained from the original plot. However, the part about "disappointment and regret for oneself" was a completely new information, and it was unknown what it was referring to.

"besides……"

Aponya frowned at first, then closed her eyes, "It seems... there is also this."

After she opened her eyes, she casually waved her hand, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the quiet room, blowing all kinds of messy debris everywhere.

"Pause!"

Ai Yue took off the cloth that was stuck to his face, and after seeing the situation clearly, he quickly threw it to Aponya, "You have to keep this thing for yourself... What happened just now?"

"How should I put it? After feeling that emotion, I seem to be able to sense the Honkai energy in the environment more clearly."

Aponia said slowly, "If I had to describe it in a certain way, it's as if the Houkai's 'malice' towards me has decreased once again."

Aponia has always described Honkai energy as "something malicious towards humans", but after becoming a fusion warrior, Honkai energy began to become harmless to her. Now she feels the decline of malice again, and from the performance, it can almost be described as "friendly".

Is it because that emotion spreads within the Honkai energy, causing a "resonance" between Aponya, who understands that emotion, and the Honkai energy?

You know, although the wind just now was not too strong, if you want to use Honkai energy to achieve a similar effect, in addition to the fusion warriors who have mastered the relevant abilities, you must rely on the power of the Fourth Herrscher's related powers.

Aponia obviously does not fit the first situation mentioned above. So can it be understood that her influence on Honkai energy is moving towards the direction of the Herrscher?

Emotions... Can you do such a thing just by feeling the emotions contained in them?

Ai Yue couldn't help but think of the original plot again. Although the Herrschers born in the current civilization were different from the Herrschers of the previous civilization from the very beginning, the reason why they were able to break free from the shackles of the cocoon of the end and decide how to use their power with their own will was more or less due to emotional factors.

Maybe, this is really some kind of answer?

"Ai Yue?"

Aponya's call brought Ai Yue back to her senses. A hint of hesitation appeared on her calm face, and she finally asked in a low voice, "Have I been of any help?"

"Of course, it's a great help, Aponya."

Ai Yue's thoughts returned to the present matter, and he quickly found a research direction. "Besides, there may be other things that require your help later."

"That's good."

Aponya realized that Ai Yue was not trying to comfort her, but was genuinely affirming her help, so she smiled as well, "I'm always here when you need me."

"Well, before that,"

Ai Yue stretched out his hand and forced a smile, "Help me first, I feel like my leg is going to break."

"……sorry."

Then, the new version of the "Divine Sound Project" was born.

By using Aponia itself as a "filter" for the fragments of will, the emotions contained therein are shared with others in a way similar to empathy. Combined with the effect of "discipline", people with less mental strength can also withstand this strong impact. On the one hand, it can change the human body's adaptability to Honkai energy, and on the other hand, it can also change the "affinity" of Honkai energy to this person.

In this way, even without applying extreme ideological imprints, it is possible to achieve the same thing as the original Shenyin Plan. Even from the current perspective, the effect of the new Shenyin Plan is far beyond the old version.

At least Hua is already able to manipulate Honkai energy to a certain extent before becoming a fusion warrior. Considering that his opponent's Honkai energy resistance may even be higher than Kevin's, I am afraid that even if he does not become a fusion warrior, he may be able to reach the same level after a long period of training and adaptation.

Of course, this height is not compared with Kevin, but with the average level of fusion warriors.

The most important thing is that judging from the effects of the short film shot by Alicia, the influence of the new version of the Shenyin Project can be spread through multimedia. In this way, after collecting enough data, perhaps Ai Yue can really create a technique like a martial arts secret book, which can be used to utilize the Honkai energy as long as it is learned.

"Are the results out?"

Hua, who had already finished the physical examination, looked at Ai Yue who was in deep thought and couldn't help but ask, "Um, Dr. Ai Yue, if it's possible, I would like to go to the Fire Moth to help."

Although the Cocoon of the End has temporarily entered a low period after two major events in a row, with the truth of the Honkai being revealed, the Fire Moth is now seriously short of manpower. Although Hua can stay by Ai Yue's side with peace of mind, as a warrior, she naturally wants to contribute as much as possible.

"Go ahead and be careful about your own safety."

Ai Yue didn't stop him, but nodded, "It's a good opportunity to collect more data and see how effective the Shenyin Project is."

Hua nodded excitedly and agreed, then couldn't wait to leave.

Ai Yue couldn't help but yawn. After realizing that he had been busy for almost two days, he decided to take a nap.
