Chapter 378 Hibernation and Protracted War

[Mr. Lu, since you are so sad, I will tell you two good news. ]

"What?"

[This soul gem has the function of improving concentration. Doing anything in it will make you inexplicably focused. ]

[If you are really bored, you can come here to study the carvings. ]

"It's normal... Without a sense of concentration, who would want to stay here all the time? But I have to wait until the things outside are dealt with before I can stay with you."

[The second good news. Staying in the soul gem and suppressing this ghost, the speed of the divine attribute seems to be faster than normal. ]

"Well... how do you say it?"

[I found that part of the idealistic energy of the [ghost] will become a kind of spiritual nourishment after complex conversion. This may be a special kind of feedback. The idealistic energy is not much, but it is very special. It is also one of the reasons why the alien is willing to stay here. ]

"You mean, the entire flying saucer is built for this function of improving the 'divine attribute'?"

[Maybe so, suppressing a [ghost] must have some benefits. Unfortunately, my god attribute is about to reach the upper limit, and I have immortal equipment, so the value of this function is limited. 】

"Is it equivalent to immortal equipment?"

[That is not as good as immortal level, because it cannot increase the upper limit. It just allows you to reach the upper limit as soon as possible. 】

Lu Yuan nodded. If a flying saucer can reach the value of immortal equipment, then "quantum civilization" is too terrifying, equivalent to being able to mass-produce immortals!

But if the upper limit cannot be increased, then the value is actually acceptable... It is just a resource to speed up cultivation.

[I am thinking, can I use Green Paradise to take over the function of this soul gem? At that time, let 10,000 staff members take over the suppression work in Green Paradise. 】

[This part of the spiritual energy fed back will be sent to these workers through the poppy tree to slowly improve their god attributes. 】

[Of course, if you, the greedy demon god, want it, you can also give you some. Let you quickly reach 30 points of god. 】

"I was the Greedy Demon God, but now I am not so greedy. After this battle, I realized that the power of one person is really too limited. Even those weak monsters can kill me."

"Ants can kill elephants."

Lu Yuan leaned against the wall and sighed: "But you two are really good news. When the Green Paradise takes over, you can get away, right?"

[That's right! My soul may be full by then. I know you are looking forward to it...]

"Then I really look forward to it... I hope that humans will get better by then."

Lu Yuan shook his head, and even couldn't make a joke, and turned to leave the spaceship.

...

Now the activities of humans have shrunk to three places: the sinkhole, the flying saucer, and the nuclear power plant.

The development of civilization has completely stopped. Under the thick fog, only a little sunlight penetrates in, and even the production of food is almost zero.

The staff is maintained at 3,000 people.

Fortunately, humans seem to have foresight and have stored a lot of food in the sinkhole, enough for 3,000 people to eat for hundreds of years.

However, Lu Yuan still felt that there were too many people, and there was no need to stay idle here, which would increase the risk of distortion.

Fighting against this ghost fog is likely to be a protracted war.

So after the looting work was completed, he let the soldiers rest in batches.

Each person was on duty for one year, went into the tiankeng to rest for a while, and then continued on duty.

In the southeast corner of the Sky City, in the History Museum, there was a small monument to commemorate the soldiers and Zerg warriors who died in the war.

Because of the bad weather, there were not many people in the museum, only the little mirage dragon came here occasionally.

Its smart big eyes looked at the history of the source fire civilization.

And read the history of mankind...

Once life is gone, it will never come back.

However, in the long river of history, they are remembered forever. As long as humans do not perish, they will not be forgotten.

This is another form of immortality.

The little mirage dragon seemed to have grown up a lot.

...

So time passed year by year...

In the first year, in the sixth month, the poppy tree recovered again.

Green Paradise began to operate normally.

Lu Yuan seriously suspected that this guy... was cheating!

How could such an ancient ancient who had survived the disaster of the era die so easily?

He recovered in a year? Is this true?

Good guy, the soul of a great spiritualist, which contains countless idealistic energy, was directly embezzled by it!

But now, Miss Conch has no time to discipline it, so it can only be cheated by it...

The rapid recovery of the poppy tree has also brought real benefits. Humans can remotely control robots through the "Green Paradise" and start some engineering projects with low risks.

In short, it's not a loss!

...

In the third year, a research team of more than 100 people led by Professor Sha Mo developed a large exhaust fan!

This large exhaust fan can filter out the power from the [ghost] in the air.

This part of the power is sealed in a container made of "resin", which can clear the "ghost fog". A legendary material "eternal gold" is used, so only one can be made.

It is estimated that the time for clearing is about 30 years. Well, it is a bit long, but the current technological strength of mankind can only be so.

…

In the fifth year, the "ant chip" was deciphered by a biological expert, and the more than 20,000 people who were implanted with the chip can already wake up.

This stem cell repair technology is developed based on the biotechnology of Nanyu civilization.

The specific principle is very complicated. The simple summary is: first upload the soul and memory of the person to the Green Paradise, then use surgery to treat the "ant chip", and use stem cell repair technology to repair neurons.

Then re-implant the soul and memory, and the patient can wake up again.

…

Now everything is ready, only the ghost fog is left to be cleared, and... Lu Tiantian's research on deformed patients.

It is related to the survival of 180,000 people!

However, this is difficult. The deformed power of the [ghost] not only penetrates the flesh, but also acts on the soul. The surgical plan of the "ant chip" cannot purify the soul and is not feasible.

Even though the power of the [ghost] is very weak, it is too strong for the souls of ordinary people...

To be more precise, once infected by this power, healthy cells will quickly turn into something like cancer cells, and even be thousands of times stronger than cancer cells!

If you don't use the power of the fire to resist at the beginning, then the latter will be unstoppable, and you will be completely distorted and lose your mind in a few days or even hours, and even your soul will be polluted.

At this moment, the research team is fighting such an enemy.

Lu Tiantian's face was bitter. He knew deeply that conventional methods could not save it at all. The difficulty was equivalent to accurately extracting DNA from every contaminated cell in the human body! It was impossible to achieve.

However, it had to be done even if it didn't work out. That was 180,000 people... nearly half of the population of the Sky City!

Everyone made a lot of attempts, and Lu Yuan's Tree of Life also made some attempts, including infusing life energy, feeding soul infant fruit, etc.

However, these methods are only useful before the deformation occurs, just like human resistance. Eating some nourishing food before getting sick is indeed very useful; but after the deformation occurs, the more life energy is infused, the faster the deformation speed will be.

So when conventional methods are useless, unconventional methods can only be chosen.

Use [ghost] to deal with [ghost]!

This seems to be the only way.

"Professor, I strongly oppose you to use another [blood ghost] for experiments! First of all, it is a super idealistic life form that we don't understand at all. Once it is released, even if there is only a trace, the risk is still too great! If there is another ghost fog, we really can't afford it!"

"Although there are currently 180,000 people in a deformed state, there are still 220,000 people who are healthy. We must prioritize the safety of healthy people before we can talk about other things!"

The person arguing here is a young professor named Lu Linshu in the "high-risk laboratory".

He is a "whisperer" who can directly hear some correct answers during the research process. He is a very good researcher.

Professor Lu Linshu has been studying this drop of blood of the [blood ghost] for a long time and deeply knows the risks involved. (This drop of blood is sealed in the resin, and Lu Yuan used it when fighting against the [Monster].)

There is also a division of combat power between [Ghosts] and [Ghosts].

Obviously, the strength of [Blood Ghost] is significantly higher than that of [Distortion].

Because in some previous simple experiments, [Blood Ghost] actually suppressed [Distortion], which gave the experiment a glimmer of hope.

Lu Tiantian, who was originally quite elegant, blushed and shouted: "But do we have any other way? Five years, five whole years..."

"You are also studying biology. Knowing the current situation, are you going to watch them become distorted creatures? Although they are in hibernation and still in the tiankeng... but the metabolism is still continuing, and time is still limited!"

"You also saw that the rules of [ghosts] and [ghosts] may affect each other. This is our last chance..."

Lu Linshu was also unwilling to be outdone, gritting his teeth: "Yes, this may indeed be an opportunity, but it may also be a disaster! Don't forget that [Blood·Ghost] is in the spaceship of the Dalai Empire, and [Deformed·Ghost] is in the flying saucer of the quantum civilization. They will definitely react."

"Once the bodies of these two things escape, how long can we resist? Can you bear the responsibility?"

"Once you escape, you will be a sinner of civilization!"

His words were quite horrifying, and even the doctors around him changed their faces slightly.

Just this layer of "ghost fog" has killed half of the population. If there is any more mistakes, won't the whole army be wiped out?

How can they bear such responsibility?

Lu Tiantian's face turned purple. He also admitted that the other party's words were very correct, but he really wanted to save the people. That was his promise.

He clenched his fists tightly, and because he was too strong, his fingernails dug into his palms purple.

Suddenly, Lu Tiantian made up his mind and said loudly: "Then how about this, I can stay away from the Sky City and do experiments in the territory of Nanyu Civilization!!"

"Anyway, it's already vacated, it's an uninhabited area."

"And I will put the laboratory in an intercontinental missile silo."

"Once an unknown error occurs, you will use intercontinental missiles to launch me as far away as possible, and even place hydrogen bombs in the intercontinental missiles!"

After he said these words, his heart calmed down.

A warm current flowed from his chest, just as he recorded in his diary when he was a child: [I want to protect this world! I like human civilization! 】

Now is the time to guard.

The base camp of Nanyu Civilization still retains many heavy weapons, which have now been taken over by the human military.

The range of those intercontinental missiles can reach tens of thousands of kilometers, and the power of high-power bombs is comparable to nuclear bombs. It has to be said that if the disaster is not too great, this wave of military trophies is actually quite impressive.

Lu Tiantian's determination shocked everyone in the laboratory.

Lu Linshu also opened his mouth, but said nothing for a long time.

"Then, please engineers, set up a laboratory in the missile and monitor me at all times. If there is a problem, launch me out and detonate me with a hydrogen bomb. I will bear all the consequences myself."

Lu Tiantian bowed slightly and walked out of the laboratory.

When he looked at the layer of ghost fog, his face was like the cold wind in Siberia.

Only when he looked at his companions sleeping in the sinkhole, his eyes softened, as warm as the spring breeze...

"I will definitely win."

…

"Whisperer" Lu Linshu was silent for a long time, called Lu Yuan, and reported the contents of his research.

"He...has made up his mind, and I can't persuade him."

"...Is it really possible to succeed using that drop of ghost blood?" Lu Yuan's voice came from the phone.

"It's possible...but how could it be so easy?"

[Vampire]'s ability is naturally aimed at blood.

But then again, what exactly is blood?

According to materialistic science, blood refers to the opaque liquid in the human body's circulatory system, which has the functions of transportation, regulating body temperature, defense, regulating the body's osmotic pressure and acid-base balance.

However, according to spiritualism, the definition of "blood" is more complicated. Blood is often associated with "qi". People's energetic, clear mind, sensitive feelings, and quick thinking are all related to "qi".

"So, [Vampire] affects not only liquids in the physical sense, but also some spiritual things, including... the soul."

"From this perspective, it does have an anti-distortion effect."

"But how to make good use of it is a difficult point."

"It's like the poison of a poisonous snake. It can kill people, but it also has the effects of stopping bleeding, analgesia, and anticoagulation..."
