Jerry's body temperature rose extremely quickly. Luo Nan felt that Jerry's body temperature had risen by at least four or five degrees in the span of a few breaths … … Luo Nan was proficient in the mental side of perception, so he was able to grasp this bit of precision.
The body temperature of a mammal hovered around 37 degrees. Exceeding this range would cause a clear change in the body's functions. Most of the proteins and enzymes within an organism's body would be deactivated when the temperature entered the range of 40 to 41 degrees. The body's various tissues and organs, especially the brain, would be severely damaged. This wasn't a good sign in any case.
"Jerry, Jerry?"
Luo Nan picked up the little fellow and examined it carefully. The little fellow was a bit unwilling. Its four limbs struggled and its head kept turning towards the direction of the virtual work area. It looked like it hadn't seen enough.
This was quite strange. Any mammal would wither at a temperature above 40 degrees. How could it be like this little fellow, still brimming with vigor? His strength was a bit greater than before!
Was this the reason for the distortion?
Luo Nan increased the strength in his hand. His palm and fingers slid across Jerry's plump body. There were also high-energy electromagnetic short waves that were transmitted densely. Luo Nan sensed the changes in Jerry's fur, muscles, bones, and even internal organs.
Yes, the little fellow's heart was beating very quickly. His muscles were twitching intensely, but they hadn't lost their activity. His control was still there. His blood flow was very smooth. His bodily functions weren't damaged. His body's thermoregulatory center and other cooling functions were still functioning normally … …
Jerry's body temperature continued to rise during the examination. It had long since surpassed the upper limit that a mammal could endure. Under these circumstances, Jerry's body inevitably underwent some changes. Luo Nan felt that the little fellow's soft fur had become much harder. It was even a bit prickly. Its body seemed to have slightly expanded.
Then, where was the pyrogen?
It was within the flesh and bones, yet it was outside of the usual functions?
This was a bit like an extraordinary power. If he were to use configuration theory to explain it … …
Luo Nan's mind suddenly went blank for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his thinking pattern and range naturally expanded. He added the element of configuration analysis. He looked at Jerry again. The feeling was completely different from a few seconds ago.
The little fellow had transformed from an individual that could be perceived normally into a complex living system. This system possessed a basic mechanism that could guarantee the growth and circulation of life. At the same time, various organizational components were embedded within the logic of a higher level configuration system … … At the very least, there was an intermittent connection.
A lot of information flashed through Luo Nan's mind in an instant, but it was very hard to make it clear. Right now, all that was left in his perception was Yu Jerry's body structure, including his flesh and blood, skin and hair, internal organs and bones … those seemingly right but not quite right details.
Just like his previous design in the saltwater lake in the Wilderness, there seemed to be no connection at all, but on a higher level, a magical structure was built.
Jerry's throat made a "gu gu" sound, and he was in a dumbfounded state.
The more Luo Nan looked at it, the clearer it became. Under normal circumstances, this sort of structure would not appear. However, under this extreme state of extreme heat, all sorts of minute changes piled up together to form a blurry yet vaguely conforming picture.
Why is it blurry? Why does it seem so?
Was it innate, or was it modified after birth?
Luo Nan's fingertips streaked down from the back of Jerry's head, following along the joints of Jerry's spine. Luo Nan's train of thought gradually became clear.
Perhaps … it was a problem of growth and development. After all, the cells of a living body changed at an extremely fast rate. Wasn't there a saying: Every person is a completely different person from their childhood self.
Skin, blood, muscles, and even every cell in the body will undergo a complete renewal at a different frequency. Practically not a single cell in an adult's body was left over from childhood.
Humans were like this, and muskrats were the same.
Because of this, Luo Nan paid more attention to the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. After all, they had the longest lifespans. They were practically unaffected by the changes in growth and development, and they were the most able to embody the main train of thought of this special structure.
As his thoughts converged, the distributed image of Jerry's nervous system was mapped into Luo Nan's mind. Luo Nan was limited by the precision of his senses and the level of his clairvoyance. This sort of scan was not completely accurate, but Luo Nan was able to grasp the familiar structure within just by looking at the distribution of fragments.
"He … …"
Luo Nan didn't know why he laughed out loud. In fact, right now he was a complete contradiction. His train of thought was clear, but his emotions were even more chaotic. His mental senses steadily deepened, but his hands on Jerry's body were trembling. His control over his strength had problems.
What did this sort of test result mean?
What did it mean!?
Jerry suddenly screeched loudly. Luo Nan had strangled him to the point of pain!
Luo Nan came back to his senses and hurriedly withdrew his strength. He fiercely blew a few mouthfuls of air at Jerry, who was about to be strangled to death. Then he placed the little fellow upright on the table.
The little fellow looked at him stupidly. Luo Nan managed to control his emotions with great difficulty. He stooped down until his face was practically touching Jerry's. "Be good, Jerry. Uncle will help you … … help you sort out a bit."
"Gu?"
"Yes. You're the one helping me. Help me!" Luo Nan subconsciously used an imperative sentence. The little fellow might not be able to understand, but he was infected by the atmosphere and became abnormally obedient and quiet.
Luo Nan took another deep breath and gripped Jerry's body once more. At the same time, his God Gear and Body Gear coupled and interfered. The material plane and the mental plane blended together, forming a slight fluctuation that permeated into Jerry's flesh and blood.
Correspondingly, the disjointed and disjointed configuration elements appeared in front of him one after another.
Since Luo Nan had already probed down to the level of the nervous system, he was able to roughly understand the train of thought of the original remodeler. Luo Nan's half year of high-intensity configuration theory and practical study provided him with a large number of feasible plans.
Luo Nan's hand gently caressed Jerry's body, and the little fellow's throat let out a gurgling sound. He had a rather comfortable appearance. He was completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes that were happening to his own body on a certain level.
Luo Nan's hand was still shaking at this time. He was unable to control it no matter what, and it was the same on the mental plane. He had no choice but to slow down as much as possible. But the more he did this, the more his overly active mind advanced. He had already predicted the final result halfway through the combing process. Every subsequent change was just a practical verification.
Jerry was muddled, and Luo Nan stared intently into its eyes.
The little fellow's eyesight was terrible, but it was very comfortable right now. Its eyes were squinted into slits. But as the combing and remodeling process progressed, a layer of marvelous radiance clearly converged between the pupils of Luo Nan's squinted eyes.
This was the luster of life energy, and it represented a string of deeply hidden information.
The blurry configuration picture became clear and definite under Luo Nan's adjustments. Luo Nan held Jerry in his arms once again without hesitation. He adjusted the direction, letting Jerry look directly at the virtual work area that had always interested him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds … …
Luo Nan's heart beat more than thirty times in these three seconds. The little fellow seemed to feel his urgent mood, and it let out a light cry. Its dazed eyes clearly emitted a tangible radiance that struck the virtual work area in front of it.
A marvelous structure expanded from here on out.
The external neuron hidden deep within Luo Nan's brain spontaneously emitted a brilliant electric flame. Luo Nan's heart contracted and expanded, and his mind unconsciously became a field of blankness.
By the time he came back to his senses, the projected area had already returned to the initial interface of the flexible e-ink screen for some unknown reason. Luo Nan's attention was projected, and the drawing software that had always existed within opened up once more, presenting a blank page.
It was as if an invisible hand had painted concise lines on the surface a second later, gradually presenting a brand new interface.
Luo Nan was familiar with this sort of situation. The initial design drafts were always like this. Of course, many people were used to using ready-made materials to stitch together. Hand painting was very old-fashioned … … Huh?
Luo Nan's eyes unconsciously widened as the interface gradually took shape. This interface felt very familiar, yet it was also very strange.
He was familiar with the form of the interface. It had an extremely simple and even crude style. There were only two options juxtaposed together. Many UI interfaces were like this. Luo Nan had come into contact with one recently. It was the credit evaluation system of the vagrant exchange … …
It was practically the same!
However, the words were different.
The words used on the hand-drawn interface were the structure and grammar of hieroglyphics, but they were specious. Normal people certainly wouldn't be able to understand them, even if they had been influenced by the East Asian culture for many years.
Luo Nan was able to get a general idea because he had been dealing with it recently … … These were the words of the virtual brain system. They came from an unknown civilization.
Actually, Luo Nan had never learned these words, but the mysterious "I" character structure that became the core of the Formatting Theory system was like a translation device. It directly mapped the general meaning into his mind.
For example, the current interface presented a sequence of options. The first one meant "Click on me if you understand it". The next one meant "It's okay if you don't understand it".
… …
This was no doubt a tease, but Luo Nan couldn't laugh.
He stared blankly for quite a while. Finally, he reached out and pressed on the first option. The interface, which felt more like a simple design blueprint, actually had an interactive function. The interface immediately changed, switching to a blank page and writing anew.
The series of strokes were quite fluent. The fellow who drew the interface should have already grasped this type of language quite well.
This string of words belonged to an unknown civilization. It was like the subject of a slide. It was arranged in a relatively large font, occupying the entire interface. If Luo Nan's understanding and translation were correct, then the meaning of the words was:
"General education level test simulation system."
There was also a line of smaller font below:
