The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 1990: Wanting to Have a Soul

Records of biological 'soul' generation experiments.

Test substance: Psychotropic type 11a.

This kind of interferon can effectively affect the nervous system of many animals, causing them to enter a state of 'confusion'. The brain nerves of animals that are completely confused will come into contact with the interferon, and these animals will have different reactions depending on the degree of adaptation...

…I’m sorry to point out that we are not the most adaptable animals, the most adaptable animals are birds.

...We started testing type 11b, but the effect was not obvious, it was still about the same. It could make multiple brain areas of birds become abnormally active, and even proliferate new brain cells, but for us it only had... a very regrettable effect.

...Type 11 has completely eliminated the distractions in the mental element and focuses on the brain... The effect is very good.

…I won’t record it anymore, a large-scale experiment is about to begin.

………

"What is this, Veronica-san?"

Lin and Bilu are now in a control room of the "Void Playground".

This control room also looks like a small tumbler from the outside, and is floating at a higher position.

There were no entry signs on it and some small buildings that looked like security booths, but of course, Lin came in anyway.

Then in a pavilion... I found a video device and saw some relevant records inside.

What was written here was not very detailed and was discontinuous, but Lin could roughly tell from it...it was indeed talking about an experiment.

Ordinary Ershi people probably wouldn't understand it, but because Lin is already very familiar with dream creatures, she can see... they are making 'souls'.

To be precise, it was the kind that Lin had seen before... a symbiotic species between dream and real creatures.

Lin has seen quite a few symbiotic species. Their main characteristics are that they are symbiotic between dream creatures and real creatures, and many real creatures rely on the thinking of dream creatures to move.

This type of creature seems to have a "soul", including the Ershi people. Lin discovered that most individual creatures have souls. This idea usually comes from their unwillingness to believe that everything will disappear after death.

But in the void... there are indeed quite a few similar creatures.

The research team seems to be trying to create similar symbiotic creatures. Here they call dream energy...

'Spiritual Element', I feel like this name isn't very good, and they've divided 'Spiritual Element' into many... models.

The distinction is mainly based on the subtle differences within.

From here we can see their research process. Lin believes that they are dream creatures obtained from the last attack on the academy...

A kind of dream energy is extracted or transformed, and then this energy is applied to the Ersh creatures.

As for how it works and the process of extraction and conversion, there is no record here. According to this record, they seem to have erased the "consciousness" of the original dream creatures and turned it into pure dream energy.

It's like removing the heads of cellular organisms and turning them into meat corpses.

Then, the research team adjusted the dream energy produced in this way... and used it to experiment on animals.

During the experiment, the research team tested many animals, including the Ershi people.

The purpose of their experiment should be to make the Ersh creatures... have souls.

But the real purpose is to improve the intelligence of living things and use the energy of dreams to enhance thinking ability...

Among the animals tested by the research team, they found that dream energy has different effects on different animals. Although they are all neural influences, they are very different.

So there are some... regrettable expressions in the record.

Because, it seems that the effect of this dream energy on the nerves of the Ershi people is just to make them... put entertainment and enjoyment first.

So, when they see an amusement park... just like Bilu, they only think about going there to play and forget what they are doing.

This mainly amplifies the brain's idea of ​​'entertainment'.

At the same time, this energy will also have some negative effects on some creatures, such as making them fearful, wanting to commit suicide, etc.

Lin thought of the energy of fear.

The most effective source of dream energy... or the one that is closest to the effect the research team expected, is birds.

Perhaps because edible birds are easy to obtain, the research team mainly tested three types of birds: chickens, ducks, and geese. The dream energy made the intelligence of these birds...extremely improved.

Lin felt that this dream energy was the same as the dreams and real symbiotic species she had seen before. This energy could be said to provide an... additional thinking area.

Although there is no consciousness of the dream creatures in it, it still has a similar effect...

Of course, this is just the expected result of the research team. At present, it seems that what the research team expected is somewhat different from the actual situation.

Energy boosts bird intelligence not by adding a new thinking area to the bird like a soul, but by affecting the bird's...brain cells.

It can trigger the proliferation of brain cells and make the brain much more active. After all, the intelligence of birds still comes from the brain, unlike dream symbiotic species that can use dream energy to think.

This may shorten the birds' lifespans...but it's apparently effective.

For this purpose, the research team planned the previous attack... but from here it seems that the plan was not very successful.

Because this dream energy did not have the expected effect, it instead made a group of birds... become more intelligent.

Next, this amusement park should be the next plan.

It doesn't mention what they plan to do in the amusement park, only some previous experiments.

Since they had done so many tests before, Na Lin felt that they used this amusement park to attract the academy to capture them, not wanting to use the troops for experiments.

I want to do some other experiments...

Maybe the research team wants to use these birds...

"Veronica-san! Those birds are setting off bombs!"

Following Bilu's call, Lin looked outside the pavilion.

Just as Bilu said, the chickens, ducks and geese all flew to the small tumblers and buried the bombs they were carrying on them.

The wings of these birds have degenerated due to being raised by the Ershi people, and they cannot fly in normal gravity... but here, it is very easy for them to fly.

Is this the research team's plan?

Use these birds... to blow up the entire amusement park? Or...

Lin felt that the bombs were not very powerful, and if they were all the same type as before, they would not be able to blow up the place.

However, doing so might trigger something... The explosion of the bomb brings more than just an explosive effect, there are also some special ingredients in it.
