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

Even with the efforts of Alicia, the efforts of the entire previous civilization, and even the efforts of Kiana and others in the current civilization, they were ultimately unable to truly achieve the purpose of the Cocoon of the End. They only temporarily suppressed the arrival of the Honkai disaster through a tricky means. Even though Kiana has become a "god", she cannot be compared with the civilization that created the Cocoon of the End.

Ai Yue thought about it for a long time, and finally deleted this passage.

He now knew much more than before, but even so, his confusion also increased. To answer this question, the existing information alone was not enough.

So just focus on what’s in front of you.

"The emergence of Herrscher is closely related to the growth of human civilization."

Ai Yue typed this paragraph on the screen and then began to think about it.

Although it is difficult to determine what information is hidden behind the Cocoon of the End, one thing is certain: the reason why the Herrscher was born from humans is inextricably linked to humans themselves.

Whether it is to show humans the possibility of evolution, or to bestow upon them powers beyond the grasp of human technology, or because imaginary singularities can only exist in humans, the power from the Cocoon of the End can only be bestowed upon humans... all the key points lie in humans themselves.

Even Alicia, who is theoretically a congenital herder and a pure-blooded alien life form, is physiologically the same as ordinary humans.

Is it possible that there is some power hidden in the human body that has not yet been discovered?

Ai Yue couldn't help but close his eyes and call out the system interface.

Under the control of his consciousness, the system displayed a technology tree like a brilliant galaxy. Although most of it was still in a very dim state, at the tail of the galaxy, there was already a piece of light connected into one.

That is the result of Ai Yue's hard work over the past year. Now all the technologies from mankind have been mastered by him. Using these theories and technologies, he can continuously unlock new technologies in the system, and finally make those light spots connected into one.

However, even so, human technology only occupies a small part of this galaxy. If Ai Yue wants to try to unlock the Plasma Spark Tower in this way, even if he has a plug-in, he will probably have to wait for five hundred years.

However, due to the existence of the Herrscher, Ai Yue found a shortcut.

If you zoom in on a part of the technology tree, you can see a glowing vein winding its way upwards. All the stars around it are dim and appear very lonely.

This is unimaginable in the conventional scientific field, because on the surface the scientific field is subdivided into countless unique disciplines, but they are actually connected. A research breakthrough in any discipline may drive the development of other fields. Conversely, if a discipline wants to achieve a breakthrough alone without relying on the assistance of other fields, it is almost impossible.

But now such a thing has been realized in Ai Yue's system - because this vein was lit up by studying the Herrscher Core.

Without relying on any other external objects, as long as he has the Herrscher Core, Ai Yue can light up the related technology points and thus complete the extraordinary feat of independent research and development.

It was also because of this that he realized how important the Herrscher Core was to the development of human civilization.

As long as the Herrscher Core exists, humans can ignore the countless pre-technologies that require a lot of time to research, and thus master the core technology in one step.

Once there is progress in the research of core technologies, we can work backwards from the results to improve the previous technologies and theories. Using this method to conduct scientific research is many times faster.

It was with this method that Ai Yue was able to complete the completion of the human technology tree in just one year. Otherwise, if he relied solely on the system, it would probably take some time.

With the fall of the Ruler of Domination, the power of the Ruler in the hands of mankind has reached ten types, including construction analysis, imaginary space, electromagnetic field, ideal fluid... ten completely different physical laws, and the Ruler Core that can control them. The value of such things is simply unimaginable to humans today.

It's no wonder that there's this weird saying within the Fire Moths that "the Great Collapse is a reward for humanity." After all, using some human casualties in exchange for a Herrscher core that has a huge driving force for technological development doesn't seem to be a losing business.

Of course, this statement basically disappeared after the emergence of the Seventh Ruler. After all, even a fool can see that the price is gradually increasing. In the end, it may have to be paid at the cost of the entire human civilization. But if civilization has become extinct, how can technology survive?

But no matter what, at least the appearance of the Herrscher Core did provide Ai Yue with an unparalleled shortcut. With their help, Ai Yue even felt that he was about to gather all the prerequisites for lighting up the "Plasma Spark Tower".

Of course, the most crucial thing has not been found yet.

The prompt sound coming from the corner brought Ai Yue back to his senses. He turned his head and found that the analysis of the components of Kevin's blood sample had already produced results.

Ai Yue took out the results and the container containing the blood, and found that after such a long time since the blood left Kevin's body, its state had not changed at all, as if it had just been drawn out of Kevin's body.

This alone is enough to prove that Kevin is now gradually changing towards a non-human direction.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the composition of the blood is more complicated than Ai Yue imagined.

There are components belonging to humans, components belonging to "Pavanti", components belonging to "Garuda", and even a very small part of the components cannot be analyzed. I don't know if it is a new thing that emerged from the mixture of these three, or something else.

Ai Yue then put another tube of blood into the analyzer - this was the blood drawn after the Brahma gene was injected into Kevin's body, used to compare the changes in Kevin's physical condition before and after the operation.

The analysis results of the second blood sample were much purer. The part belonging to Pavani and Garuda had been completely assimilated by Brahma's genes. Although they could still be distinguished through more detailed analysis, they were basically indistinguishable from each other, proving that Ai Yue's theory was indeed correct.

By implanting Brahma's genes, the conflicts and rejection reactions caused by the Chimera Project can be reduced or even eliminated.

What surprised Ai Yue was that he originally thought that the human part of Kevin's genes would be more or less affected by the Brahma genes. Although it would be impossible to completely assimilate, there would at least be some traces. However, he did not expect that the two would appear clearly separated in Kevin's blood, as if Kevin's human genes were enough to resist the assimilation of the Brahma genes.

In addition, the unknown components that originally appeared in the first blood sample analysis still appeared in the second results, and even the proportion increased.

Ai Yue simply opened the container and put a finger in.

The system is unresponsive.

Tsk, it’s not that easy after all.

Ai Yue shook his head slightly, then simply poured the blood into the equipment beside him, ready to separate it directly.

As he used the system for a longer time, Ai Yue also gained a better understanding of the details. For example, the system needs to consume different types of materials. He originally thought that as long as the composition of the material was changed to a certain extent, it could be displayed in the system as another material for continued use. However, he later discovered that if the change in composition was not obvious enough, the system would not respond.

Take Kevin's blood sample for example. Because Ai Yue had used it before, even the Brahma version of Kevin's blood would be judged as consumed material by the system. However, as more and more Honkai Beast genes are injected into Kevin's body, one day it will exceed the threshold of the system's judgment and become usable material again.

Or you can directly purify it and maybe extract the part that can be used by the system.

But now that it doesn't work, he needs to handle it manually.

Fortunately, after a year of study and systematic knowledge infusion, Ai Yue was no longer the layman who could only use the system to conduct research at the beginning. He soon succeeded in separating the components in the blood and preserved them separately.

Of course, this is just blood separation. If you want to filter out the genetic information you need, especially the part with unknown composition, more sophisticated processing is required.

After working hard for half a day, the hard-working Master Ai decided to ask Prometheus for help.

After all, this kind of thing is more accurately operated by artificial intelligence.

"Is this the unknown ingredient?"

Two hours later, Ai Yue held the test tube and observed it under the light.

The little bit of light blue liquid at the bottom of the test tube, less than the size of the little fingernail, is all the unknown components obtained from 200cc of blood.

"This component was partially lost during the separation process, about 5 percent."

Prometheus reminded, "Based on the summary of the process just now, it can be seen that this substance is very easy to lose. Please store it properly."

"Don't save it yet, just go to the next step."

Ai Yue put it into another device and said, "Analyze its properties and you'll probably know what's going on."

This so-called "scanner" was made by Ai Yue himself. It basically uses all the detection methods and can conduct a comprehensive inspection of the nature of things. In this way, even if you are not sure what it is, you can perform reverse analysis through the data obtained.

He had just put the test tube in and was planning to come back to see the results later when he heard Prometheus remind him: "Dr. Ai Yue, don't leave yet."

"what happened?"

Ai Yue subconsciously turned around and then widened his eyes.

On the display screen, which was larger than the scanner itself, many different detection items were arranged in categories. However, the item that had already responded was something Ai Yue had never expected.

Mental fluctuation data detection.

Looking at the constantly jumping waveform in this column, Ai Yue first doubted his eyes, and then showed a stunned expression.

What the hell did I pull out?

32

Chapter 32: No, we are just going to ignore the scientific research project?

Mental fluctuations are changes in human consciousness caused by emotions or thoughts. This invisible fluctuation is usually imperceptible. Only by observing brain waves through instruments can we observe it to a certain extent.

Of course, this is the normal situation. In fact, most fusion warriors with mental perception can perceive the mental fluctuations of others. The only difference is the degree of accuracy.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that mental fluctuations will usually only appear in observations of the brain of a living being. Even in this world where there are messy things like collapse, this basic law will basically not be violated.

There is a component in Kevin's blood that is capable of thinking. The thought of this possibility makes Ai Yue feel uncomfortable all over.

For a warrior like you, I can understand extracting muscle tissue from blood, but how can you extract brain tissue?

No, this waveform doesn't look right...

Ai Yue stared at the waveform graph and soon realized that it was a little... too regular.

"Please calm down, Dr. Ai Yue."

After Ai Yue had come to his senses, Prometheus reminded him, "The waveform shows a steady weakening trend, with no obvious fluctuations. It should just be mental energy radiation."

"Well, I can see that too. It's probably just mental energy, and it's gradually dissipating. It seems it must be in the blood to be maintained."

After Ai Yue regained his composure, he realized this, but then shook his head. "But the presence of spiritual power in the blood itself is not normal. You know, this has never happened in Aponia."

Mental power, as a derivative power of human consciousness, was not truly observed and understood by the world until the emergence of psychic-perceptive fusion warriors. People with natural psychic abilities like Aponia are even rarer. Even though the Fire Moth can now openly recruit from all over the world, no second case has been found yet.

Compared to "Kevin's blood contains his own consciousness", it is obviously easier to accept "Kevin's blood contains his mental power".

Of course, even the latter is actually very strange, because in theory only a fusion warrior with spiritual perception can release spiritual power and retain it in other things.

Moreover, it is not something that an ordinary psychic-perception fusion warrior can do, as such a large amount of mental power can remain after leaving the body for more than several hours. What's more, Kevin himself should not be aware of this at all. It can be said that it was caused unconsciously.

Ai Yue subconsciously thought that the fusion of Brahma and Kevin caused the change in his physique, but he immediately rejected this possibility because the unknown component still existed in the blood sample before the operation, but the amount was slightly different, so it should not have much to do with Brahma.

"Is that the reason for Kevin's special physique?"

Ai Yue thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "Prometheus, where is Alicia's blood sample?"

He suddenly realized that this was the first time that the blood samples of fusion warriors were analyzed through existing means. Basically, all the materials obtained before were fed to the system, and the system would not analyze the materials themselves.

In other words, if this situation is not an isolated case, then it is very likely that I have overlooked something crucial from the beginning.

"In the Special Material Management Area, do you need to call it now?"

Prometheus replied immediately.

"Call... just one copy."

Ai Yue picked up a blood sample and put it in his pocket before walking out the door. "Follow the experimental steps I just mentioned. Now keep this unknown component in the special area."

While he was thinking, the waveform representing the fluctuation of mental power on the analyzer's display had completely calmed down, which meant that the mental power from the unknown component in Kevin's blood had dissipated completely and no fluctuations could be detected.

However, when it comes to detecting mental power, he obviously has a more convenient way.

Formerly Huanghun Street, now Chaoyang University.

"Ai Yue?"

It was already night time, and Aponya was patrolling the dormitory corridor with a lamp to see if there were any bad kids who were still awake at this time.

At this moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked towards the end of the corridor with a sense of meaning. In that place, a familiar figure appeared at some point.

"You still want to do this kind of thing yourself?"

Ai Yue came over and said, "Why not let other teachers take turns on duty?"

"I'm used to it. When I was in church, I would walk through the church corridor like this at night to see if the children were sleeping well."

Although Aponiya was a little surprised by Ai Yue's appearance, she quickly regained her composure and looked at him with a smile, "Besides, there are some things that only I can do."

As she spoke, she gently knocked on the door of the room next to her. "Hans, don't hide under the covers and read comics with the light on. It will damage your eyes."

There was a clear sound of panic in the room, which eventually calmed down.

"look,"

Aponya looked at Ai Yue as if showing off, with a hint of pride on his face, "This is something only I can do."

Ai Yue also showed a bit of helplessness on his face: "You are the only one who would do this."

Using her powerful mental power, she can easily observe the situation of everyone in the entire dormitory building, and can also warn all the children who have not gone to bed at the same time through mental transmission. The reason why she patrols the corridor with a lamp is probably just a habit.

Or maybe, Aponya just wanted to do this?

"What's up?"

Aponiya naturally knew that Ai Yue would not come to her house at this time for no reason, so she planned to turn off the lantern and said, "Let's go back to my room and talk."

Compared to my own personal hobbies, Ai Yue's affairs are obviously more important.

"Not urgent."

Ai Yue held her hand, "You haven't finished your inspection yet, right? I'll accompany you."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to walk forward.

It seemed like it had been a long time since I had been alone with Aponya. If I had to talk about business at this time, it would be a bit unromantic.

Looking at Ai Yue's back as he walked in front, Aponiya was just slightly stunned, then followed him.

Outside the window, soft moonlight fell and shone on the two people.

Aponya subconsciously turned his head to take a look and couldn't help but smile gently.

The night view tonight is really nice.
