Chapter 514: "Ancestor of Life"


The so-called "holy coffin" is not actually a coffin, but a black box with a side length of one meter and a height of less than half a meter.The box was made of unknown material, and its surface was engraved with dark red ancient runes, and several straight notches split the top half of the box into several large and small polygons, making it appear as if it was made up of many parts.It was smaller than Hao Ren expected.The chamber where the coffin is stored is located in the middle of the cavern, guarded by hundreds of knights and monks, and the stone house itself is molded by the most powerful earth magicians, ensuring that even the tentacles of the eldest son can withstand one or two.The four corners of the stone house are equipped with powerful magic weapons that transmit the magical energy of the monastery on the surface to the surrounding coffin, and the four walls of the stone house are also hung with thick scripture blankets, which in addition to serving as a protective effect, can also amplify a certain bioelectric signal released from the holy coffin: perhaps after the death of the original tissue in the box, the facilities in the stone house can delay the suppression signal for a day or two.There weren't many people in the stone house, so only Haoren, Vivien, Oprah, and Archbishop Auburn walked in.Hao Ren looked at the black box curiously, and placed his hand on its surface, feeling warm in his hand, not like cold rock or metal.Of course, it is also possible that some kind of "creature" in the box heated the device.He patted his pocket and called out the data terminal: "Can you feel anything?"

”"There are very complex signals emitted from the container, including three frequencies of electromagnetic waves and some other types of clutter," the data terminal circled above the "holy coffin", "It's a signal transmitter, it's constantly releasing signals to quiet the big guy next to us." ”Archbishop Auburn looked curiously at the small blue slabs floating in the air, but given the incredible strength and technology of the aliens, he did not say anything about this "alchemical device" that seemed to have a human nature.Ophra hurriedly asked, "Can you replicate this signal?"

”"Then at least we have to actually touch it and get some tissue samples or something," the data terminal flickered, "It's easy to simulate the electromagnetic waves emitted by the Holy Coffin with a technological device, but this kind of occult thing......

This machine feels that it should be checked carefully. ”Hao Ren looked at Archbishop Auburn: "Can you open this?"

”The runes on Archbishop Auburn's head flickered, which was a sign of intense thinking, but before leaving, the Pope had already asked him to cooperate with the "research activities" of the foreigners, so after some thought, he still nodded: "Yes."

But be careful, it's irreplaceable. ”As he spoke, the archbishop put his hand on the top of the coffin and whispered an ancient scripture, with which the runes and lines on the surface of the coffin gradually brightened, and then the lid of the container cracked into several parts along the straight lines, slowly rising and scattering in all directions.In the container is a large mass of ......

Something hard to describe.It was a strange dark red, biologically organistic mass with a hint of plant-like green.The strange mass of tissue as a whole looked like several animal embryos connected from end to end, with a faint light flickering slowly in its depths.There was also about a third of the thick red liquid in the container, the texture was quite close to "source blood", and the strange biological tissue was soaked in it.Yet, despite the strange appearance of these liquids and biological tissues, they do not give people a sense of disgust, and they exude an uncanny reassuring atmosphere, even a certain holy air: this is the substance from which life originated, even something older than the firstborn."

This is the Ancestor of Life......"

Opra whispered, as if afraid of waking up the mass, "this is the first time I've seen it." ”"I had the privilege of seeing it once, a hundred and fifty years ago," Archbishop Auburn frowned, "when it was a little more active than it is now. ”"It's dying," the data terminal quickly concluded, "it's an organ that has been cut out......

Or an organ that sheds itself in some normal evolutionary process.In short, in any case, it is incomplete, the main part has disappeared, and this part of the organ is gradually failing. ”Vivien frowned, "What was it supposed to do?"

”The data terminal scanned the structure of the "Progenitor of Life" in more detail: "It may be the ganglia of the original seed, the part used to give orders and receive commands, and the machine found that it has a powerful ability to send and receive information, like a powerful relay antenna."

At the same time, it also has a certain ability to think and judge......

But this part of the functionality is already necrotic.The original seed is really amazing, its organs can survive for so long after it is separated from the main body......"

Hao Ren instantly grasped a key word: "Accept the order?!"

What orders are accepted?

”"The machine doesn't know, the machine just scans.It has an antenna-like structure, and it can communicate faster than light by sight," the data terminal fell back to Hao Ren's shoulder, "Maybe it's taking orders from the goddess of creation."

You said that the original seed was released by the goddess to observe the starry sky, so this thing must have a communication function, and after flying to the destination, fax a photo to your creator and send two videos or something......

"Hao Ren's eyes were immediately on the mass of biological tissue, and he couldn't move away.He thought it was just a simple suppressor, but he didn't expect it to be the ganglion of the original seed, let alone an antenna!

But it's normal to think about it, if the illusion he saw was true, then the purpose of the Goddess of Creation was to observe the starry sky, so these primordial seeds must have the ability to communicate - the antenna of the seed was sealed in the holy coffin!

But now is definitely not the time to take this thing back to study, Hao Ren shook his head and calmed down: "Let's see if we can copy this thing first, or figure out the mechanism of its suppression of the eldest son." ”"If you want to do it, you have to do the whole set, don't just copy the signals, we need to make a clone, and that requires a little bit of tissue sample."

The data terminal floated forward as he spoke, and Archbishop Auburn immediately subconsciously blocked in front of the holy coffin when he saw this situation, his face full of nervousness: "You can't destroy the ......"

"Just extracting a few cells won't kill it," the data terminal bypassed Auburn, "The vitality of this thing is more tenacious than you think, even if it is now in its last years, it is healthier than you." ”As he spoke, the data terminal had floated to the sky above the group, but then it stopped there and didn't move, Hao Ren looked at it for a few seconds before he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Questions?

”The data terminal flew back suddenly: "Mother's chicken, I forgot that I don't have a hand!"

This machine is a PDA, which door probe is there!

”Hao Ren: ......In the end, it was the almighty autonomous machine in Hao Ren's space that collected the samples of the "Life Ancestor" and sealed them in a special container that could keep the biological tissue alive.The container is standard for censors to collect carbon-based biological specimens from a strange world or to serve overnight dishes — well, there's no second function in the instructions, but Hao Ren developed the use of it himself and says it works.Archbishop Auburn was already surprised by the strange things that Hao Ren had pulled out."

The equipment on the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform should be able to replicate this thing, but it won't solve the fundamental problem," Hao Ren crossed his waist and looked at the huge tentacles on the side of the cave, "I still have to find a way to kill this thing."

It's clean and thorough, and it's ......

"And it's better not to make too much of a difference," Ophra pointed to the feet of the group, "This is the ground on the west side of Sunset Volcan, and the nearest lava pillar here is only a few hundred meters away.Each Magic Emperor has a different way of suppressing the eldest son, the Dragonspine Mountains use mountains to form cages, and those stone giants, and this is the use of magma.There are huge lava columns around several of the eldest son's key organs, and deep beneath our feet is the world's largest lava lake, and an elemental flame in the crater of the Sunset Mountains suppresses these underground fires to prevent them from accidentally erupting or awakening the firstborn, but if you ...... like last time" "Orbital bombardment will destroy the magma system, cause the continental shelf to collapse, at least half of Holletta will have a mass extinction, and if the rock vapor enters the atmospheric circulation, more than a third of life on the entire planet will be extinct," "She's right, the machine's radar shows that the area is completely covered in intricate lava flows, and those magma columns and lava rivers wrap the eldest son like a net, apparently man-made." ”Hao Ren opened his mouth: "......

Then I'll have to use my brain. ”(To be continued.) )
