There is no doubt about the sampling accuracy and computing power of the data terminal, at least in this universe, except for the mainframe of the crystal nucleus research station and the cluster computing unit of the drone swarm, Hao Ren has not been able to find information processing equipment comparable to the data terminal - so he completely trusts the judgment made by the other party: the time and space inside this closed ruin are indeed static for a time!"
You just said that the ancient magic empire did not master the technology of time?"
He immediately looked at Hemerda.
Mage, with a serious expression.Hemmer himself was a little surprised at the moment, although he himself made the hypothesis that "time stands still in the ruins", but this assumption still made him feel incredible after it was really confirmed: "This ......
It stands to reason that it is.Although the history of the Ancient Magic Empire has been mutilated and most of them have become legends, our Wizards Guild has always focused on collecting historical materials, and we have much more information about the Ancient Magic Empire in our hands than the general public knows......
It wasn't even mentioned in those sources. ”"Such an important technology could not have appeared out of thin air, and since there is no mention of it in all the historical sources, then I am afraid that the ancient magic emperors really did not have the ability to control time," Vivien said, "and if they can really control this power, they will not be so embarrassed when fighting against the eldest son......
At least not so completely destroyed. ”"So there must be another reason for time to stand still in this ruin......
Hao Ren said as he walked towards the rooms around the hall, "Let's quickly split up and check, since time here has just begun to flow, there must still be some traces left." ”He said with some regret at the same time: he came a step late, if he had known about the news of the ruins when the Holletta investigation team had just arrived at the ruins, he would have been there as soon as possible, and then he would have been able to see the state of the ruins at the moment of opening - but now it has been several days since the first gate opened, and many important clues may have dissipated in these few days.For example, the magic circles and alchemy vessels that Hemmer spoke of were still in operation when the ruins were opened: they were long since stopped.But even so, Hao Ren could still see signs of the time and space standing still in this place from the remaining traces.The hall is dusty, the floor and some furnishings are as clean as new, and if they have been idle here for 10,000 years, a thick layer of dust is still indispensable, even if they have not been weathered.He opened some of the rooms that were unlocked, and saw the well-preserved, unweathered, clean furnishings, as if the owner had just left and was ready to return.Only a few small pieces of messy furnishings and scraps of paper can give this place a little bit of a "wasteland" meaning.And he also saw Hemmer the Great.
The experimental equipment that the mage mentions, the equipment that has just stopped functioning, and still has residual temperature or magical reactions, is even more concerning.“…… Do you feel familiar?
”In a large laboratory in the southeast corner of the hall, Hao Ren pointed to something in the room and asked, "These jars and connectors......
There are also the same things as those two cultivation bins, which are too familiar. ”This is a rectangular laboratory, and it has a layout far beyond today's alchemy technology in Halletta, starting from the passage leading to the hall to the laboratory operation area, with strict safety checks, dust removal, static electricity removal, and air filtration measures in the middle, these things are already extremely advanced in terms of technology and concept, and the so-called "alchemy hut" on this planet today cannot be compared to it at all.On both sides of the glass passage in the dust removal area, Hao Ren even saw a detailed work procedure, which marked the rules that laboratory operators must follow in words and pictures, including changing clothes, removing metal belongings, and prohibiting sick entry.Next to the protocol was a thin crystal plate with green handwriting on it, with names and times written on them—perhaps the registration of personnel when the lab was last opened.After checking the data terminal, it was found that the crystal plate was a magical storage of handwriting, and the storage time was not more than half a month at a time: this once again strongly confirmed the fact that time had been suspended here.And the "familiar" thing that Hao Ren said is a bunch of complex equipment in the central area of the laboratory.Several canisters of metal and glass were placed vertically on the recessed floor in the center of the room, and about a third of the mysterious liquid could be seen inside the vessels, and some complex pipes and wiring connected the containers, and extended to various devices and magic circles not far away, and next to these equipment were several neat metal tables on the experimental tables, and those metal tables were floating magic arrays, which looked like some kind of monitoring equipment.Against the walls of the room, there are several metal cans that are completely enclosed, with nameplates on them that indicate the number and time of lockdown."
I thought of the Origin Hallows," Vivien frowned, "these things are similar to the style of the Origin Hallows." ”"It's not just the style, it's the structure," Hao Ren nodded, "The Origin Hallows is more like a miniaturized version of these things......
Or the final version.The Origin Hallows has been able to complete the 'assembly' of the witcher, so it should be the finished product, and the equipment here is too large, bulky, and the energy consumption is obviously too high, it should be some kind of testing machine. ”Listening to Hao Ren's words, Haimo looked a little dazed: "What is the Origin Hallows?"
”"You don't know?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised, but then remembered that although he had already communicated with Ofhra and other locals, he did not deliberately publicize it later, and Haimer, who was not at the center of the incident at the time, naturally knew nothing about it, so he briefly explained, "It was a device made by the ancient magic empire when it was studying the origin of life, and it was used to artificially synthesize a 'perfect creature', and the 'ancient species' in the world today is the product of this plan."
Of course, that's all in the past, and the ancient species are now part of Halletta's natural system, and have nothing to do with the ancient magic empire. ”Hemmer had already led people to inspect this area of the ruins before, so he knew a little about the laboratories here, but because he didn't know the information about the Origin Hallows, he was very confused about what he had found, and now that he knew about the Origin Hallows, he naturally smoothed his mind and mentioned the situation of several other laboratories.In addition to this large laboratory, there are four other laboratories with similar equipment – large culture vessels, biological piping, and radiation equipment.The labs are all structured in much the same way, with several different groups of operations for the same large project.Although he couldn't enter the depths of the ruins yet, Hao Ren had already vaguely guessed what kind of place this was.The birthplace of the witcher.The first testing ground for the creation of "perfect life" in the ancient magic empire turned out to be in this place!"
I didn't expect it......
That's how we found it......"
Vivien felt that everything was unbelievably dramatic, "If that's right, it's probably this place where the biology experts of the Ancient Magic Empire made the witchers."
No wonder......
This is the junction of several magical empires, a natural buffer and fusion zone, and it is only fitting that they want to have some sneaky joint projects!
”Hao Ren didn't say anything, just lowered his head to check the information at hand.These were recovered from a nearby laboratory bench - most of the materials had been destroyed or taken away, but some of the less important paper notes remained, and the "10,000 years old" materials were almost entirely new due to the fact that time had stood still.The note in front of me should have been recorded by some experimenter, and it did not contain any key data information, such as the parameters for creating a "perfect life" and the specific operator arrangement, but even the casual note was enough to attract interest."
On the XX day of the XX month, the test subject in container No. 3 was inactivated, a regrettable failure, and he died without being able to find out the reason, maybe we shouldn't inject him with too much source blood......"
On the XX day of XX month, the test subject in container No. 2 was still alive, but there was a serious mutation, and those twisted and proliferated limbs almost filled the entire container, and the brain of the test subject was obviously unable to control these powerful limbs, so we had to terminate it.Forcibly fusing mortal cells with the 'naïve cells' in the source blood was so difficult that we had to choose another solution."
On the XX of the XX month, there was an explosion in the fourth laboratory, and a container was blown up, but fortunately it did not affect anything else.It is said that the cause of the explosion was the sudden awakening of the subject in the container and a violent reaction, presumably sensing danger, or simply being unable to control her own energy.In any case, this is a reminder to everyone: we are creating an unprecedented and powerful creature, they are almost born with the same power as ordinary humans tempered for a lifetime, and even when they are in the jar, they are more lethal than heavily armed warriors and mages......
"XX month, XX day, the unexpected good news, we have detected highly active ones in the wreckage of the fourth laboratory after the explosion."
Divine cells', these cells are still alive and retain the power of powerful oracles, and perhaps due to the impact of the explosion, they have become highly compatible with mortal cells and can coexist peacefully with the latter!
This may be the breakthrough we've been looking for - the original oracle was so vague that we took many detours, but Goddess willing, we've finally understood your will, and these precious cells will be the key to the whole project, and I can't wait to see how they turn out to be implanted into new test subjects!
”The note came to an abrupt end here, and there were no torn or defaced pages in the back, so it should be all that.However, even so, the contents of the notes were enough to make Hao Ren stunned.
