Under the dim light, Luo Nan gazed at the dark red flesh beneath the white gauze. Aside from his line of sight, there were also penetrating interference waves. He connected the external neuron to the virtual brain system's analytical capabilities to perform a comprehensive examination and analysis of the target he had obtained in the afternoon.
For those who were completely ignorant, this was just a uterine fibroid that had just been removed from a patient's body.
For Quantum Corporation and Chief Li Wei behind the scenes, this was a collection and storage system that had already collected a large amount of special components of Mutants.
For Luo Nan, who controlled the external neuron and the virtual brain system, it was a technological crystallization from an unknown civilization. Its official name was the Knight Level Basic Implanted Biochemical Furnace. Behind it was an enormous system as vast as the seas.
This was knowledge that could be researched for a lifetime. But before he could research it, he needed to cut off the little tail left behind by Li Wei. The Conditional Format Lock and the possible remote positioning settings had to be completely wiped clean. This was the only way to avoid drawing Li Wei's attention back to Xia City.
Luo Nan formally opened up the virtual work area, ready to take notes at any time. He adjusted the position of the white gauze to make sure that it wouldn't cause any interference. These small actions carried a bit of a ceremonial nature because what he was about to do was more or less a gamble. Luo Nan didn't know if the idea he had been mulling over for over four months could be considered foolproof.
The airships hovering high in the sky were no laughing matter if something went wrong. Not to mention that Spring City had an Extraordinary and seven or eight B-rank powerhouses. Even if they weren't all enemies, they were just for show. It would be enough to make him suffer.
And it was precisely this situation that caused Luo Nan's heart to churn with excitement like lava. His rationality was still doing its best to display its effect. The excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters he secreted were like race cars on a crowded road. They fought to outdo each other, yet they formed a kind of dynamic equilibrium that wasn't chaotic in the slightest.
Luo Nan was able to enjoy the pleasure brought by his hormones within this dynamic equilibrium, but he didn't fall into a dull and tasteless state of pure inhibition early on. It was an excellent state.
He no longer hesitated. Lightning flashed in his brain, and his soul energy and the external neuron interfered with each other. Not only did they form interference waves, but they also made the wondrous creation that existed between the mind and the material extend out from the center of his brows. It turned into a living nerve that seemed to be a real thing, and it pierced straight through the dark red flesh tissue on the white gauze.
Before the external neuron truly made contact, the flesh on the other side was already twitching under the interference wave that arrived in advance. Under the already uneven, dried blood clots and twisted blood vessels, there were even short tentacles extending out. They waved in the air for a while before their length increased.
The extended external neuron accurately docked with one of the tentacles.
From Luo Nan's point of view, this was quite a disgusting scene. However, in terms of actual effects, the external neuron that made physical contact with the target would undoubtedly increase the force it exerted on the flesh and blood tissues by ten or even a hundred times.
In the virtual brain's interface, the progress of the biochemical reactor's analysis practically climbed to 100% in an instant.
During this time, familiar system information such as, "The culture room has been filled with XXX all-rounded stem cells. XXX type culture medium has been set." There were also warning windows that popped up one after another that said, "The equipment is at 9% integrity. It no longer possesses the ability to self-destruct. There is a risk of biochemical contamination." They all looked very familiar … It was practically carved out of the same mold as the self-destructing reactor.
In fact, Luo Nan really did suspect that these two reactor wreckage were used as' collectors'. They were the result of some sort of 'fission proliferation'.
This was just a guess for now. It wasn't a difficulty that he needed to overcome. The true problem lay in the fact that the external neuron had completely docked with the flesh and blood tissues. This clearly violated the Conditional Format Lock that Li Wei had set up. Therefore, the system information that continuously refreshed also popped up one after another: "self-destruct," "contamination," "reboot," and other words that made one's eyelids twitch.
However, the external neuron, which had already achieved a physical docking, displayed a powerful interference power right now. It invaded this mass of flesh and blood tissues in reverse. The relatively simple neuron structure split into large amounts of roots in the shortest amount of time. The roots warped and even directly replaced the original blood vessels and nerves within the flesh and blood tissues. This allowed Luo Nan to realize direct control to the greatest degree.
Perhaps the collection and storage system that Li Wei had designed wouldn't be so easily breached, but the problem was that it was currently in an offline hibernation state. Luo Nan had been accumulating power for this, so he easily achieved the desired effect.
Luo Nan also knew that this was very likely only a temporary advantage. He had yet to carry out fundamental changes to this mass of flesh and blood from the bottom up. Therefore, Luo Nan didn't delay at all. After the external neuron obtained absolute dominance, a process that had been rehearsed countless times on the 'program' level was launched.
A mass of dazzling brilliance shone. It constantly changed shape and contour of electricity. The external neuron acted as a pathway, and it instantly injected into the flesh and blood tissues … In other words, it was the remains of the biochemical reactor.
This was the Jintong Soul Light Seed.
Luo Nan already knew from the virtual brain system's response that a certain natural connection existed between the Jintong Soul Light Seed and the biochemical reactor. Once they truly intersected, an astonishing reaction would certainly occur.
Luo Nan hadn't been in a hurry to advance this process. Instead, he had spent four months of time to make all the preparations he could. He had borrowed the enormous database of the virtual brain system to read through all the relevant information and blueprints. He had buried his head in the complex and deep system. Though he could only skim the surface, the time had come. Now was the time to perform practical verification.
On the virtual brain's visual interface, the Jintong Soul Light Seed, located at the end of the Wraith Sign system, had already fallen off. It brought along its corresponding database and merged into the biochemical reactor's small planet.
After merging, the analysis progress of the two was reset to zero at the same time. Then it started all over again. The speed was very fast, breaking through 20% in the blink of an eye. The system information refreshed at this time, and it began to break free from those boring repetitions:
"Equipment integrity at 9% … …"
"XXX full-functional stem cells are undergoing uncontrolled differentiation. The base material has been damaged."
"A new tinder has been detected … … Inspecting the internal layout of the furnace. No corresponding layout method has been found."
"Searching for the preset layout structure of the system … … The electromagnetic department's common layout method. Coincidence rate 97%. Adjustable."
Then a warning pop-up window popped out: "Do you want to inject a new tinder? Warning. Once injected, it will automatically adjust according to the common layout method. The base material formula needs to be adjusted accordingly. "
Luo Nan didn't even blink. He simply chose yes.
The flesh and blood tissue on the white gauze clearly swelled up at this moment. And on the virtual brain's interface, the reactor had already completely absorbed the database of the Jintong Soul Light Seed. The corresponding interface had changed somewhat.
From Luo Nan's perspective, the internal structure diagram that appeared right now was very much like a round drum furnace body. It even had a bit of the fanciful style of the legendary Old Lord's pill refining furnace … … It was just that the complex dynamic distribution of the system of point masses inside was much more difficult than starting a fire to refine pills.
The point masses endlessly changed their positions under the effects of internal and external forces. The point masses also changed the forces acting on each other. They formed the configuration module that Luo Nan had been researching all this time for nearly half a year. The accumulation of energy grew thicker and thicker.
This was the so-called "General Layout Method of the Department of Electromagnetism", the legendary "Tinder".
Luo Nan already had a general understanding of the related concepts after several months of study. He didn't stubbornly dig into the definition. Instead, he drew a few strokes on the virtual work area, forming a vague human silhouette.
"In that unknown civilization, people can construct a kind of framework that surpasses ordinary life forms. It is the fundamental configuration that runs through the structure of the human body and soul. The user manual calls it a 'furnace'. Its function is to produce an unending stream of higher level life materials … … Some sort of extraordinary gene, Golden Cell. And on this basis, the mortal body is replaced, life is reformed, and life is realized all the way to transcend the level of life."
This was the My Heart Like a Furnace.
Luo Nan drew a circle on the chest and abdomen of the vague human silhouette, representing the fundamental configuration of the furnace. Then he drew a small circle to the side, representing some sort of cheat code.
The furnace was supposed to be the core construction of one's body and soul. It didn't rely on external objects for its own needs. But in the end, that unknown civilization was able to realize the simulation of this special configuration, to the point of mass production.
This was the flesh and blood tissue before Luo Nan's eyes. It was the remains of a biochemical reactor.
Compared to its own furnace, the original intention of the biochemical reactor was to act as an auxiliary and insurance for a second heart. It stored the host's Golden Cell and used external energy to rapidly carry out cell differentiation and tissue repair when the host suffered heavy damage, giving the host a second life.
However, it was just like many inventions. The original intention and development of the product would always deviate more or less. What was originally an auxiliary might become a dominant one ….
But whether it was an auxiliary or a dominant one, the biochemical reactor's functions weren't born out of thin air.
The Jintong Soul Light Seed filled it with the core logic of its construction. Luo Nan had already gathered the raw materials needed for the basic base material formula before he took action. Now it was just a problem of energy injection.
It needed energy, especially since the furnace body had suffered damage as high as 91%. The remaining portion had even suffered contamination and modifications. In order to restore it to its complete form, it needed to use the base material to divide and multiply according to the blueprint.
This set of processes required an enormous amount of energy. In the beginning, Luo Nan used the continuous transformation of the body and soul coupling interference power to charge the biochemical reactor.
But this was a transformation of mass and energy!
The interference on the mental plane made it different from the pure laws of physics. Luo Nan had a thick accumulation on the mental plane. He could also use the storm turbulence of the abyss region. He could even use the prepared base material raw material to generate a reaction, reducing a large portion of energy consumption. But after this wave, he had a guilty conscience, as if a large hole had been opened at the bottom of the pond. He didn't know how much longer he could last.
Luckily, Luo Nan had made preparations early on. He chose a temporary place to stay, an energy center that provided the city's CBD area. Just when he felt that his strength was lacking, the external neuron split off a side branch and pierced into the energy transmission system. The external neuron skillfully acted as an electric mouse, carrying out another wave of transformation. The efficiency of the electrical energy conversion was quite low. Fortunately, there was an endless stream of energy ….
