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

If he is not strong enough, he will always have weaknesses. Although he can avoid most risks, for his fragile body, he will not be able to bear it even if there is less than one in ten thousand chance that it will really happen to him.

What's more, the human body, which is now slightly weak, is becoming increasingly difficult to fight against... ahem, it is becoming increasingly difficult. In order to avoid a tragic future, Ai Yue finally arranged a fusion warrior surgery for himself.

Of course, since he wants to become a fusion warrior, he naturally has to choose the strongest Honkai beast. The Judgment-level Honkai beast is indeed powerful, but for Ai Yue, Brahma's characteristics are what he likes most.

That's why he chose himself to be the first experimental subject before Kevin.

"Well, when will I have the surgery?"

To change the subject, Kevin quickly said, "I need to get used to my new teammates during this period, so if I want to have surgery, I have to schedule it in advance."

"Not in a hurry,"

Ai Yue waved his hand, then changed the subject, "When do you and Dr. Mei plan to have children?"

"what?"

Kevin didn't expect Ai Yue to turn around and grab it. He was stunned and said, "No, this is also related to the Brahma plan?"

"Of course it does. You don't think that after participating in the Brahma Project, you can still be like a normal person, right?"

Ai Yue looked at Kevin with a subtle look. "Although this is just a simulation, if the Brahma Project is completed, your genes will undergo drastic changes, leading to reproductive isolation from ordinary people. You should understand what this means, right?"

"I understand, so you don't have to explain..."

Kevin quickly waved his hands, fearing that Ai Yue would give him a physiology lesson. "Well, Mei's body isn't suitable right now... so we don't have any plans..."

"How can that be done!"

Ai Yue's voice suddenly rose an octave, "Give birth! You must give birth! And just one isn't enough!"

What a joke, if you two don't want children, then where will the Kaslana family come from?

"Why are you still excited..."

Ai Yue's reaction left Kevin completely baffled. He showed a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what the other person was thinking. "You know Mei's body well. It's not like she can just give birth whenever she wants."

Due to the physical injuries caused by long-term work, coupled with close contact with various dangerous objects, Dr. Mei's current physical condition is very worrying, which is something Kevin had mentioned before.

Although there has been some improvement over this period of time, the damage is almost irreversible. Moreover, Fire Moth cannot be separated from Dr. Mei's management now, so it is almost impossible for the two to have a child through conventional means.

Dr. Mei's physical injuries were so severe that he couldn't even undergo the fusion warrior surgery, because even today's fusion warrior surgery requires the participant to have a strong physique. In a case like Dr. Mei's, even if he received the super-mutation factor, he could not bear the risk of activation.

"What kind of difficulty do I think it is? That's it?"

Ai Yue waved his hand and said, "Just drive, I'll figure it out."

Ai Yue had said before that he would help solve Dr. Mei's physical problem, but the cause of her injuries was very complicated. Not only was there damage caused by Honkai energy radiation, damage caused by long hours of desk work, but there was even unknown distortion caused by contact with the quantum sea. It was simply not something that Ai Yue could solve before.

You know, the Fire Moth not only has experts in the field of genetics, but also the strongest medical team in the entire world, and the Herrscher Core of the Sixth Herrscher that can repair cell damage. However, with the combined effect of these things, they still failed to prevent Dr. Mei's death. It can be seen that her physical condition is definitely not ordinary bad.

But now it’s different. Ai Yue, who has become a master in the field of biochemical transformation, can solve Dr. Mei’s problem in minutes.

"Do you really have a way?"

Hearing Ai Yue's words, Kevin stood up suddenly and stared at Ai Yue, "Are you sure you are not lying to me?"

It's not that he didn't seek help from others, but whether it was the biology expert Mebius or his good friend Su, they were powerless to do anything. They could only try to find ways to alleviate the condition, but they could not stop Dr. Me's health from continuing to deteriorate.

This is when the "Blank Key" plan has not been activated. If the Blank Key had been activated according to the original plot, Dr. Mei's life would probably have quickly declined.

To be honest, being stared at by humanity's strongest warrior at such a close distance is really a stressful thing. Although Ai Yue himself did not feel much, the Brahma gene in his body was frantically warning, reminding him what a powerful creature he was facing.

"Young man, don't get excited."

Ai Yue waved his hand, motioning him to sit down. "Although it may take some time to recuperate, it's definitely not an unsolvable problem."

"That's great."

Kevin tried to calm himself down, sat back down, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Ai Yue."

"Little things,"

Ai Yue leaned back in his chair and asked, "So when are you planning to have a baby?"

"...Can't we just skip this topic?"

"So how many children do you plan to have?"

"...I'll discuss the plan of having a child with Mei when I get back, and I'll try to give you a definite answer as soon as possible."

"That's pretty much it."

Ai Yue nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the super mutation factor on the low table and said, "Let's go. I'll give you Brahma's super mutation factor first."

"Hey, is this the start?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say we have to wait until..."

"The Brahma project is a long-term process and cannot be achieved overnight,"

Ai Yue stood up and walked outside. "With this thing, at least your body temperature problem can be completely solved. It's not a big deal to always use the 'Garuda' gene to simulate normal body temperature."

Besides, if I don't take this opportunity to get more samples from you, how can I carry out follow-up research?

Chapter 30: The technology armor is just lame.

Just as Ai Yue promised, since he, as an ordinary human being, could succeed, there was no reason for Kevin to fail.

So quickly, he climbed down from the operating table by himself.

"Don't you feel anything special?"

Kevin waved his arms curiously, "But the strength has indeed increased..."

A hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes. He felt the power surging in his body and seemed to want to test it immediately.

"If you want to test, go outside. Australia is such a big country, you can do whatever you want."

Ai Yue was packing up his tools nearby. Seeing this, he quickly stopped him, "Don't blow a hole here."

"understood,"

Kevin then nodded honestly, "Speaking of which, how exactly does the effect of Brahma manifest itself on the human body?"

"Brahma himself has no special abilities, but he can amplify the power you already possess."

Ai Yue explained, "For example, as an ordinary person, I don't have any special abilities. After fusing with Brahma's genes, it simply strengthens my physical fitness."

"So what was that exoskeleton you showed earlier?"

Kevin said doubtfully, then realized, "Oh, it's the same technology that Dr. Mebius used before, called Super Transformation Armament?"

When he talked about this, there was a glimmer of longing in his eyes.

Although the armor provided by Ai Yue before was of great help in the battle, it was obviously far from the level of super-mutation weapons. Kevin still remembered the performance of Mebius in the previous battle. The effect of super-mutation weapons can be imagined to allow a scholar to have such powerful combat power.

What's more, compared to external objects like armor systems, Kevin still prefers this kind of power that comes from within. Not only will he have a sense of security that everything is under control, but he can also improve his strength through self-training. It is really perfect.

To be honest, when Ai Yue first sent him a message, he thought it was finally his turn. Unfortunately, Ai Yue had no intention of talking about this matter, so he didn't dare to mention it.

"Super-mutation weapons currently require different solutions for different fusion warriors, which is quite troublesome, so the coverage rate will be very low."

Ai Yue explained, "Besides, you only had Pavanti's genes in your body before. Even if I did it to you, it wouldn't have much effect. It would be better to wait until the Brahma Project is completed and solve it together."

"I see,"

Kevin nodded, then asked impatiently, "So when can the Brahma Project be completed? I'm ready to cooperate at any time!"

"That's a nice thought, but this thing also requires gradual adaptation and observation. Besides, I can't focus all my energy on this one project."

Ai Yue could only sigh, "Besides, until you two get your business done, there won't be any next steps for now."

Kevin then remembered the premise of the Brahma plan and couldn't help scratching his head with an awkward smile.

"The three Honkai Beast genes in your body still need a process of mutual adaptation and assimilation, which will last approximately 48 hours."

Ai Yue took out a bracelet-like object from the side and handed it to Kevin. "During this period, don't take it off. It will record your physical data and then feedback to me, so that I can make subsequent adjustments and designs."

After saying this, he added, "Also, if you experience any mental reactions, record them and don't ignore them casually."

Bracelets can only collect data, but the mental impact cannot be observed simply through data.

"understood."

After Kevin took it, he asked again, "Will that affect my combat effectiveness?"

He originally thought that this was a pure strengthening, but after hearing what Ai Yue said, he felt that there would be instability.

"That shouldn't be the case. As this process progresses, your strength will only grow stronger. It won't fluctuate or even become ineffective."

Ai Yue thought for a moment and said, "However, we still need to familiarize ourselves with the changes in power in advance. If we really have to go on a mission, we must not hurt our own people."

"I see,"

Kevin stood up impatiently and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Don't worry, now that you're here, help me clean up."

Ai Yue took a tablet and showed Kevin the surrounding surveillance footage. "There are more and more Honkai Beasts around here recently. Go help clean them up."

After Kevin left, Ai Yue stood up and took out the blood he had just collected from the storage cabinet beside him.

There were a total of ten containers, all filled to the brim - this meant that Kevin's physical fitness was truly incredible, otherwise anyone else, even Kosmo, would easily be weakened by Ai Yue.

Of course, it was precisely because of Kevin that Ai Yue drew such a large amount of blood. After all, he was of great research value, and this might not be enough.

Unfortunately, I joined the Fire Moths a little too late and did not collect samples of Kevin when he was still a pure human. The materials I got now were all contaminated by the genes of the Honkai Beast. It would be a bit troublesome to re-purify Kevin's own genes from them.

I don’t know how much blood will be left after it is purified.

Ai Yue put away the containers, left the operating room, and walked towards the small room where Kevin saw him when he came.

Although this place is very large, most of the space is reserved for Quinn and her bee colony. Ai Yue does not need much space. After all, his most critical "equipment" does not take up much space.

Pushing open the door and looking at the laboratory that had become tidy again, Ai Yue nodded with satisfaction.

Although Quinn likes to go against the grain, she is actually quite obedient. It's just that she always feels that she has deviated from the growth direction that Ai Yue originally designed for her.

She was obviously designed according to the image of a lady from a noble family, but now I feel like she is really about to become a queen.

If I had known this, I should have named her something like "Nadeko".

While Ai Yue was thinking about all sorts of things, he put the container in his hand into the analyzer in the corner, intending to see how complex the composition of Kevin's blood was.

He then woke up the dormant computer, closed the preliminary plan for the "Brahma Project", and reopened a blank document.

Kevin is indeed the protagonist of the Brahma Project, but Ai Yue collected his blood not for the Brahma Project.

Amid the humming sound of the equipment, Ai Yue pondered over it and finally typed out a line of words.

"What is the purpose of the Herrscher's existence?"

31

Chapter 31 What's flowing in your veins?

Why do Herrschers exist?

This question is actually very strange, but Ai Yue is not the first person to raise this question.

Because before this, some people realized that if the outbreak of the Great Collapse is regarded as a disaster, or an attack on human civilization by some higher-dimensional existence, then the Herrscher is actually not a necessary thing.

If we must have a unit that can release power, then the Honkai beast is actually a good choice. Since the first major Honkai outbreak, every Herrscher's companion Honkai beast has possessed abilities similar to the Herrscher. In other words, the Honkai beast itself is a species structure that seems to be born for destruction. It can be said that placing the Herrscher core on them may play a greater role.

It is precisely because of this strange sense of disharmony that this issue has led to many different explanations within the Fire Moth. Some people believe that choosing humans as Herrschers is to spread fear, that is, the people around you will one day become enemies of humans, creating an atmosphere of panic in society. Others say that Honkai beasts do not have the ability to carry the Herrscher core, and only humans can do it... To this day, no one has been able to come up with an answer that satisfies everyone.

The reason why Ai Yue suddenly started to think about this problem was because it did give Ai Yue an inspiration.

As a time traveler, Ai Yue possesses a lot of information beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Therefore, he also knows that the source of the collapse comes from an existence called "Cocoon of the End", and the Cocoon of the End comes from an extremely advanced civilization. The purpose of their creation of the Cocoon of the End is probably to bring down trials on other civilizations, so as to allow other civilizations to reach their own level.

Knowing this information, the answer to "Why does Herrscher exist" seems to be imminent.

The Cocoon of the End is intended to show humans the possibility of evolution in this way. If humans are truly capable of solving the mystery of the Herrscher, they may evolve into a new race that controls power.

After Ai Yue typed out these words, he frowned again.

It sounds reasonable, but I always feel like some details are overlooked.

Ai Yue knew very well that if the plot developed according to normal circumstances, the Cocoon of the End would not be able to bring about evolution at all. Even if this was really its purpose, then from the perspective of the original plot development, it was more like a struggle in despair, just like when humans chose the Fusion Warrior Plan. They knew it would not succeed, but there was no other way to go, so they could only bite the bullet and keep going, hoping that a miracle would happen.

A miracle belonging to mankind has indeed been born, but can a miracle belonging to the Cocoon of the End really be born?
