Chapter 1541 The War that Continues to This Day

brain death.

A word that Hao Ren was familiar with - this terrible situation is usually seen in humans who have suffered various fatal organic injuries. The brain loses its function, but sometimes the autonomic nerves can survive for a while, and some limbs will remain. The ability of conditioned reflexes, but simple conditioned reflexes cannot maintain the operation of a complex life system, so brain-dead humans need a lot of hoses, wires and air pumps to survive - in short, it is a very miserable state.

But he didn't know that his eldest son would also become brain dead.

And it's clear that the brain-dead eldest son of the planet doesn't need a bunch of hoses, wires, and air pumps plugged into it.

His tentacles are still alive and happy, and he can even happily kill the aerial bombers and robot ladies who drop bombs on his head.

"Are you sure?" Hao Ren asked again in a cautious manner, but Nolan showed strong dissatisfaction with being questioned: "Boss, you have to believe in my current deduction and calculation capabilities - I can use a computer to I use a ship-based host computer to deduce the evolution of stars to think about the problem, and I also have a super huge database. My judgment is based on massive data and real-time updated test results, and of course it is not a random guess."

Then she added: "Of course I'm not very sure...after all, we haven't seen with our own eyes what the condition of the eldest son's brain core is now."

You can't confirm and still talk so much nonsense! Show configuration?

Hao Ren rubbed his brows, feeling that this ship girl had become less and less troublesome recently, and then thought carefully about what it meant to have a brain-dead eldest son.

The eldest son's vitality is so powerful that ordinary people can't imagine. His body can resist almost all damage caused by planetary system-level civilization, and even if he is slightly injured, he can heal as before in a very short period of time. And these are just the basics. , his vitality is further reflected in the fact that this powerful divine creature has no clear weaknesses: it is a giant living body composed of a large number of indescribable biological tissues and countless tentacles, veins, and cavities. All organs (if those functional tissue groups can be called organs) have multiple backups, and no organ is non-renewable. A mature eldest son has at least several brain nuclei and an even larger number of secondary thinking units in his body. Each brain nucleus can independently undertake the task of storing memories and thinking. Even if a part of the brain nuclei is lost, it will only make the brain less capable. It's just that his ability to control his body has temporarily declined - it won't take long for the brain nuclei to grow back from those secondary ganglia.

And even if all his brain nuclei are destroyed, it will actually be of no avail: the eldest son will only lose the ability to think and act for a short time, but soon the disaster emergency program in his body will be activated, and this process of saving himself will cause damage to some ganglia. With stimulation, these ganglia will assume the function of thinking and mutate a number of brain nuclei in a short period of time... This process will of course cause some losses, such as memory impairment, but brain death? That is impossible.

As long as a few tissue cells survive and a little time to breathe and regain blood, the eldest son can recover in a 100% healthy state.

This was the first-hand information he heard from the honest and honest eldest son when he communicated with Zhuomu. Hao Ren believed it quite a bit - because he felt that it would be difficult for Zhuomu's mind to make such a "bragging". Something is coming...

"Indeed, judging from the information we currently have about the eldest son, 'brain death' is unlikely, but there are always exceptions to everything, and the eldest son's body is not invincible." Nolan's holographic image jumped to the bar, Sitting on the edge of Hao Ren's cup, "Yugudrahil's brain nucleus differentiated into two consciousnesses due to infection. The competition between the two consciousnesses caused Yugudrahil's body to show signs of rigidity and decline; ultra-high dose Neurotoxins and a powerful lullaby program can put Horleta's eldest son into a deep sleep, reducing neural activity to almost a stop; a direct command from the goddess of creation can simply and neatly take over the eldest son's thinking function. If there is a problem with this part of the function, It will show a state similar to brain death. Many factors can affect the activities of the eldest son, and we must make bold assumptions."

"It's okay to make bold assumptions, but what I'm thinking of is another thing," Hao Ren glanced at Nolan, "Even if brain death is true - why is the eldest son of this planet like this?"

Nolan blinked, seemingly unresponsive.

"You have seen the attack echelons sent by the survivor resistance forces to the surface of the planet. With their technical strength, they can only deal with the tentacles of the eldest son, but it is a bit fanciful to blow up a mature eldest son to the point where he cannot take care of himself. Damn it."

At this time, Vivian next to her woke up and showed a thoughtful look: "In other words... you think the eldest son was made insane by something else, and then the survivor resistance forces in space just happened to Only by picking up a loophole can we have a back-and-forth fight with the eldest son like today?"

"This is one of the possibilities. Anyway, the fact that the eldest son of this planet is in such a half-dead state cannot be explained by the survivors in space dropping a few bombs every now and then."

"And what's more," Nangong Sanba also came over at this time, "We all know the eldest son's recovery ability. As long as there is a little bit of scum, it won't take long for him to be resurrected with full health, so even if there is really something powerful, After cutting off all the brain nuclei of the eldest son of this planet, he should have recovered after so many years - after all, no one played 'lullaby' on this planet before we came here, and its activities were uninhibited. .”

"So there must be something that prevents the eldest son's brain core from recovering its function." Vivian pinched her chin. This action was usually Hao Ren's favorite, but now it has become her habit. "We can probably only go to the center of the earth. Only by taking a look can you understand what's going on..."

Nangong Wuyue covered her face and slowly tied her tail up: "I think this is worse than God..."

Hao Ren rolled his eyes at her: "I didn't say I would go now."

Nangong Wuyue's tail has almost wrapped itself up: "I don't want to go at any time..."

This coward.

However, based on the current situation of his group, Hao Ren really did not intend to go to the center of the earth to perform a brain examination on his eldest son. If this was not done well, it would really be a suicide. He doesn't even understand the "resistance forces" in the sky who just throw bombs on the ground when they have nothing to do. If he starts the second mission line distractedly, he always feels that he will die in a very rhythmic way.

As Lily likes to say: Eat rice one bite at a time, ribs one bite at a time, noodles one bite at a time, fragrant chicken... Anyway, it's wrong to aim too high.

Hao Ren decided to establish contact with those people in the sky first, or at least find some useful information from the other party's information network before considering dealing with the eldest son deep underground.

Nolan turned the set of antennas he had just repaired to the sky, always monitoring the communication signals that occasionally escaped from the giant space station and the moon. Most of the signals were encrypted, but this encryption was very important to the shipboard host. As if it were nothing.

But short-term monitoring doesn't yield many clues.

From the signals collected by the antenna, Nolan compiled a large number of action reports and material transfer lists, about half of which were related to operations on the planet's surface, and the rest were mostly related to industrial production - the departure of fighter planes and Recycling, battle damage and supplementary applications for bombing missions on the surface, production conditions of factories, mining progress of lunar bases, and some accident issues that need to be dealt with, daily reports like this account for 80% of the total amount of information. In addition, of course, some less official contact signals were also collected, which should be personal communications within the resistance, but the amount of this part of the information was pitifully small.

The signal strength and transmission priority of personal communications are definitely the lowest. They are covered and overwhelmed by the massive signals from giant space stations and lunar bases. Nolan’s antenna is not working very well, so it is almost impossible to capture anything. Piece it together into complete information.

However, Hao Ren still came to two preliminary conclusions from these communications:

First, there is a very busy survivor society on giant space stations and lunar surface bases - although they were driven out of their own planet, they still developed a powerful force in space and natural satellites, perhaps not as powerful as the Firstborn So powerful, but the situation of these rebels is definitely not desperate.

Second, the actions of the survivor resistance forces are highly logical and there is no obvious tendency for crazy violence or blind destruction. They should be accessible.

In the evening of the next day, Nolan once again observed a formation of bombers from the rebels appearing in the sky.

It was a larger bombing formation than last time - twelve fighter planes flew from the southeast and struck the tentacles at the edge of the forest more violently. Just like last time, the bombing process was efficient, precise and fearless. , and the battle damage ratio this time looks much better. Probably because the damage caused by the last bombing had not yet healed, the Tentacles of the Eldest Son were unable to cope with the counterattack. Only half of the twelve fighters were damaged, and the remaining six withdrew from the battlefield with scars.

Compared with the two-thirds loss rate last time, this time the results were indeed ideal.

The tentacle at the edge of the forest suffered a second attack before it could fully recover. It was finally severely damaged. Nolan detected that the physiological activity of the tentacle continued to decline after the bombing, and a large number of underground neural structures were also disconnected. The connection to it: this tentacle has been destroyed.

But new tentacles will soon grow out, growing out from the roots of the destroyed tentacles. Using those blasted remains as nutrients, it will grow extremely quickly.

"This is a war that has lost its meaning," Vivian couldn't help but sigh as she watched the six surviving fighter planes disappear from the monitor screen. "The eldest son of this planet is brain dead and lives in the sky. Those people will neither be threatened by the eldest son, nor can they really eliminate the latter. They are just filling in life and resources in waves... just like crabs charging against the endless ocean over and over again. .Is it really that important to take back the mother planet?"

In response, Hao Ren could only shake his head: "Maybe it's important to them."
