The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

Chapter 17: Third Herrscher Core Research Approval

[The host exits the simulation scene. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward.]

[This time, the host has voluntarily withdrawn from the reward. The Valkyrie Spear Fighting Skills knowledge that was originally awarded has been downgraded to Valkyrie Combat Skills knowledge.]

[Based on the system's calculation of your consciousness carrying capacity, the next optimal simulation time will be 12 hours later.]

The cold voice of the system came from his mind, and Chen Ran subconsciously looked around him.

He was also synchronizing the memory of No. 666.

During the few days that Chen Ran was simulating, No. 666 was not idle.

Because the system endowed him with biological knowledge, No. 666 quickly and excellently completed Blanca's task.

Afterwards, Blanca assigned several small tasks, all of which were completed by No. 666. His knowledge of biology was actually not much worse than that of Mebius.

What is lacking is the research on collapse.

What surprised Chen Ran was that No. 666 didn't actively cling to MEI like he did to Kevin. On the contrary, apart from some necessary work interactions, he didn't say anything to MEI.

Could it be that it also has risk awareness management?

This artificial intelligence is amazing.

But he didn't care about that.

His position in the First Research Institute should be able to meet the requirements for launching the Theocracy Project.

The Fire Moth now has three Herrscher cores. Velvet is probably still busy escaping from prison and has not yet been commissioned to design the Key of God.

In other words, if he proposed the theocracy plan now and tried to convince Mebius, there would actually be a chance to start it.

And with Mebius's ability, the theocracy plan may not fail.

only……

Chen Ran suddenly realized a problem: With Mobius's urgent desire for the evolution of life, it is impossible that he had not thought of integrating humans into the core of the Herrscher.

Otherwise, there would be no so-called fusion warrior program.

After all, whether it is integrating humans into the Herrscher core or integrating humans into the Honkai beast genes, the essential means and principles are the same.

This actually means that Möbius most likely considered using this method to seize the authority of the Herrscher, but due to biological calculations and even human experiments that have been conducted, he determined that this was impossible.

Therefore, the Fire Moth had to resort to the second best method, using weapons as a medium to make the core into the Key of God.

So does this mean that according to the judgment of previous civilizations, theocracy plans are bound to fail?

Mei Raiden was able to succeed because she had natural stigmata on her body, and the stigmata technology was created by a previous civilization.

He decided to ask for advice.

At least, he needs a clear data.

Chen Ran made up his mind and went to find Blanca.

...

...

"Doctor, Chen Ran said he has something he wants to discuss with you."

Blanca did not stop Chen Ran from asking Mebius some questions.

She looked at the people in the research institute as if they were her juniors. The Fire Moth might not really need kindness, but Blanca was undoubtedly a kind person.

Mebius frowned slightly.

"If you have any questions, you can email me, Blanca. I remember I said that."

Blanca euphemistically expressed it: "The doctor checks his emails a little less frequently. Even when the higher-ups issue orders, they always send me a copy first."

Mebius didn't like reading emails.

In other words, she doesn't like anything that causes her trouble.

However, since Blanca brought people with her, she had to receive them reluctantly.

She sat sideways in the office chair, her hands clasped on her chest, her figure proud and charming.

"Tell me what's going on."

Obviously, she didn't take Chen Ran's discussion this time seriously. With her knowledge of biology, she was more than capable of handling one person.

Chen Ran sat upright and said, "Doctor, I'd like to ask if the First Research Institute has conducted any experiments involving the fusion of a human body with a Lawrence core. If so, have they all failed?"

Mebius's eyes narrowed slightly.

Blanca's expression changed: "Where did you hear that?"

"It's not asking, it's guessing."

Chen Ran paused and said, "I've heard a bit about the doctor's reputation at the First Research Institute lately. He's very interested in evolving life, and the Herrscher, with his human form, is undoubtedly the most highly evolved species yet discovered."

"Given the doctor's personality, it's impossible that he hasn't conducted related experiments. The most basic one is to extract the Herrscher genes and integrate them into human clone embryos to grow a hybrid. The fastest way is to fuse the Herrscher core with a human."

Chen Ran seemed to have accidentally revealed the creation process of Kiana.

But it doesn’t matter, there will be no Kiana in this era.

His words made Blanca subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, but Mebius's frown deepened.

She finally began to look at the young man in front of her seriously.

Black hair, yellow race, from China, a refugee, a few years younger than Blanca, but quite handsome... These were all her judgments based on her own eyes.

From a normal person's perspective, age is the standard for judging a person's knowledge reserves.

But this is a rule that applies to mortals, not the realm of genius.

She began to take it seriously: "What do you want to say?"

“I want relevant data.”

“I wanted to try an experiment to figure this out,” he said.

Mebius's eyes narrowed slightly.

She did not ask Chen Ran about his motives, just as she herself did not like being asked about her motives.

"That experiment was a disgrace to me, so I have destroyed all the data. If you wish to conduct further experiments, I grant you permission to conduct research on the core of the Third Herrscher."

Chen Ran's guess was not wrong. Mobius had indeed conducted experiments on integrating the Herrscher core.

This experimental design wasn't difficult, and could even be described as very simple. Its payoff was also very high; as long as it succeeded, one would obtain a controlled Herrscher.

However, this experiment failed one after another.

Although Mebius did not provide any data support, Blanca explained to Chen Ran the reasons for the failure of these experiments.

"In that plan, the doctor first used prisoners who were not eligible for Honkai energy, and they undoubtedly died. Then he chose warriors who volunteered to be experimental subjects and had higher Honkai energy aptitude. However, the warriors with higher Honkai energy aptitude had a physical rejection reaction to the Herrscher core."

"Also, the Herrscher core's Houkai energy concentration was too high, so the experiment failed."

"The doctor continued to select the bodies, but even after exhaustive efforts, no experiment was successful, and even the measured data was meaningless," Blanca said. "Even those who managed to fuse the Herrscher core didn't exert the power they imagined, and they still died after two minutes."

"Although there hasn't been any criticism from top management regarding this experiment, many people have expressed opposition. This is why many people have left the First Research Institute."

It was obvious that Blanca wanted to persuade Chen Ran not to continue.

How could Chen Ran not continue?

Chapter 18: Chen Ran's Return to MEI

The theocracy plan will eventually succeed.

This is not self-consoling confidence, but reality.

But considering the differences between the previous civilization and the current civilization era, he quickly guessed the key to success: emotion.

Just as the core of the Sirin Plan is to defeat the manipulation of the Herrscher's consciousness by the bond of emotion, the core of the Theocracy Plan is also to defeat the Herrscher's consciousness by relying on emotional amplification.

In the plot, Wendy actually did it.

If it weren't for Bronya's betrayal caused by Cocolia, Wendy would actually be the next Raiden Mei.

In other words, the theocratic plan centered around Wendy was ultimately successful after two years. But Chen Ran wanted to accelerate the process.

He didn't want to sacrifice all of New Zealand, even if it was just a simulation.

To create a Herrscher, besides the Herrscher core, a high concentration of Honkai energy is essential. Creating Honkai energy without sacrificing the city is a technical challenge.

This is also a problem that Chen Ran must solve.

As for the integration and adaptation of the Herrscher core and the body, it was not something he needed to worry about.

The Herrscher of this era was not under the authority of Alicia. What he needed to do was to distinguish the Herrscher core from the Herrscher core in the simulation scenario.

Only by comparing the differences could he formulate a complete experiment.

After being allowed to observe the core of the Third Herrscher, Chen Ran claimed the protective suit that could isolate Honkai energy at Blanka's reminder.

However, he claimed two sets.

"Senior Blanca, I would like to choose an assistant, is that okay?"

...

...

Chen Ran is not a genius.

This can be seen from the fact that his college entrance examination results almost failed to get into a key university.

A so-called genius is someone who can easily reach areas that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

So, God was indeed unfair when he created humans. Some people may really be God's illegitimate children.

But because of the knowledge given by the system, Chen Ran can pretend to be a big shot for a while.

He wouldn't complete this experiment alone; it wouldn't be the most efficient way. The end would come in a few years, and wasting time on this wouldn't be worthwhile.

So, he went to seek external help.

What Fire Moth lacks the least is actually geniuses, and in his cognition, the most talented person is right beside him.

"MEI, I have obtained permission to observe and study the Third Herrscher Core. I think you should be interested in it as well."

He smiled and said, "The advice you gave me last time helped me a lot, and this can be regarded as my reward."

Mei's eyes raised slightly.

"Okay, I like this kind of reward."

Contrary to popular belief, MEI can actually choose not to join the Fire Moth.

Her father is the top physicist in Mu Continent. After being rescued by the Fire Moth, she could go to Mu Continent to complete higher academic research.

But the reason she stayed was because she wanted to open the door to the realm of collapse.

And now Chen Ran was able to obtain the observation permission of the Herrscher Core, which really made MEI have no intention of refusing at all.

Although she could guess that Chen Ran was so generous, he must have other reasons.

In the Fire Moth, there are researchers who are curious about the Herrscher Core. On the contrary, there are quite a few.

If Chen Ran were to hold an internal auction for the permission to observe the Herrscher Core, it could be sold for a maximum of one million US dollars.

If there were more, why not just bribe Mebius? Mebius wasn't someone who disliked money.

However, MEI also has some speculation about this.

If we find someone else, it will be hard to say who will have the initiative.

In order to open the door called "collapse" more deeply, why not listen to Chen Ran's orders for a while?

As expected, Chen Ran said, "I need you to help me complete the calculations for an experiment."

"what?"

"Observational experimental calculations of the Herrscher core integrated into the human body."

He did not hide anything and told the story of his so-called theocracy plan.

"With our current combat capabilities, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult to deal with the increasingly powerful Herrschers. Therefore, humanity needs its own more powerful beings. Whether it is a machine or a Herrscher, it will be fine."
