There was no doubt about the sampling accuracy and computing power of the MDT. At least in this universe, apart from the large mainframe of CARS and the cluster computing units of the UAV swarm, Hao Ren could not find any other information processing equipment that could match the MDT. So he completely believed in the MDT's judgment: time and space in the enclosed ruins were indeed static.
"You just said that the Ancient Magic Empire did not master the technology of time?" Hao Ren immediately looked at Master Hymer, looking serious.
Hymer himself was a little surprised at the moment. Although he had made the assumption that time was static in the ruins, it was still incredible when the assumption was confirmed. "That's right. The history of the Ancient Magic Empire is incomplete, and most of it has become a legend, but the Sorcerer's Association has always paid attention to collecting historical materials. We have much more information about the Ancient Magic Empire than most people know. Based on the historical materials we have so far, they really did not study time. There is no mention of it in those materials. "
"Such an important technology could not have appeared out of thin air. Since there is no mention of it in all the historical materials, I am afraid that the ancient mage emperors really did not have the ability to control time," Vivian said. "And if they really could control this power, they would not have been so embarrassed when they fought against the First Born. At least, they would not have been completely destroyed."
"So there must be another reason for time to be static in the ruins," Hao Ren said as he walked to the rooms around the hall. "Let's split up and check. Since time has just started to flow here, there must be some traces left behind."
Hao Ren felt a little sorry that he was a little late. If the Holletta investigation team had known the news when they first arrived at the ruins, he would have come as soon as possible and seen the state of the ruins at the moment of opening. But now it had been several days since the first door opened, and many important clues might have dissipated in these few days.
For example, the magic circles and alchemy containers that were still running when the ruins were opened. They had long been shut down.
But even so, Hao Ren could still see from the traces that time and space had been static here.
There was not a speck of dust in the hall. The floor and some of the furnishings were as clean as new. If they had really been left here for ten thousand years, then even if they had not been eroded by the wind, a thick layer of dust would still be unavoidable. He opened some of the rooms that were not locked, and saw the well-preserved, clean, and unweathered furnishings. They were as clean as if the owner had just left and was ready to return at any time.
Only some messy furnishings and pieces of paper could make this place look like an abandoned place.
He also saw the experimental equipment mentioned by Master Hymer, which had just stopped working and still had residual temperature or magic reaction. These equipment were even more noteworthy.
"… Don't you think it looks familiar?" In a large laboratory located in the southeast corner of the hall, Hao Ren pointed to the things in the room and asked, "These cans and connectors … and the two incubator things, they look so familiar."
This was a rectangular laboratory with alchemy layout far beyond Holletta's current alchemy technology. From the passage leading to the hall to the operating area of the laboratory, there were strict safety checks, dust removal, electrostatic removal, and air filtration measures. These things were extremely advanced both technically and ideologically. The so-called 'alchemy huts' on this planet today were nothing compared to them. On both sides of the glass passage in the dust-removal area, Hao Ren even saw a detailed work manual, which marked the rules that laboratory operators must abide by in words and pictures, including changing clothes, removing metal belongings, and prohibiting sick people from entering. Beside the work manual was a thin crystal board. Green words floated on the thin board. Some names and time were written on it. Perhaps it was the staff registration of the last time this laboratory was used.
After checking, the MDT found that this crystal plate was used to store the writing with magic, and each storage time was no more than half a month. This once again strongly confirmed the fact that time had been suspended here.
The 'familiar' thing that Hao Ren said was a pile of complex equipment in the center of the laboratory.
Several jars made of metal and glass were placed vertically on the sunken ground in the center of the room. About one-third of the mysterious liquid could be seen in the containers. Some complex pipes and wires connected the containers and extended to various equipment and magic circles not far away. On the experiment table next to these equipment, there were also a few neat metal tables with magic circles floating on them. It looked like some kind of monitoring equipment. Against the wall of the room, there were also several completely sealed metal cans with nameplates with serial numbers and sealing time on them.
"I think of the Sacred Relic of Origins," Vivian frowned. "These things are very similar to the Sacred Relic of Origins."
"Not only the style, but also the structure." Hao Ren nodded. "The Sacred Relic of Origins is more like a miniaturized version of these things … or the final version. The Sacred Relic of Origins has already completed the 'assembly' of the demon hunters, so it should be the finished product. The equipment here is too large, bulky, and consumes too much energy. It should be some kind of experimental machine. "
Hymer listened to what Hao Ren said and looked a little confused. "What is the Sacred Relic of Origins?"
"You don't know?" Hao Ren was a little surprised. But then he remembered that he had talked to Ophra and other local people about this part of the information, but he did not deliberately publicize it. Hymer, who was not at the center of the incident, naturally knew nothing about it. So he briefly explained, "It is a device created by the Ancient Magic Empire when they studied the origin of life. It was used to artificially synthesize a 'perfect creature.' The Ancients in the world today are the product of this project. Of course, that's all in the past. Now, the Ancients have become part of the natural system of Holletta and have nothing to do with the Ancient Magic Empire. "
Hymer had already conducted a search in this area of the ruins, so he had some understanding of the laboratories here. But because he did not know anything about the Sacred Relic of Origins, he was confused about what he found. Now that he knew about the Sacred Relic of Origins, he naturally sorted out his thoughts and mentioned the situation of the other laboratories.
In addition to this large laboratory, there were four other laboratories with similar equipment — large culture containers, biological tubes, and radiation devices. The structure of these laboratories was similar, and they should be several operation groups of the same large-scale project.
Although he could not go deep into the ruins, Hao Ren had a vague idea of what this place was.
The birthplace of the demon hunters.
The original experimental site of the Ancient Magic Empire to create the perfect life was actually here!
"I didn't expect that we would find it like this." Vivian felt it was too dramatic to believe. "If I'm not mistaken, the biological experts of the Ancient Magic Empire should have created the demon hunters in this place. No wonder … This is the border of several magic empires, a natural buffer zone and fusion zone. If they wanted to have a secret joint project, this is the perfect place! "
Hao Ren did not say anything. He just bowed his head and checked the information in his hand. These things were found on a nearby laboratory bench. Most of the information here had been destroyed or taken away, but there were still some unimportant notes left behind. Since time had stopped, the information from "ten thousand years ago" was almost brand new.
The notes in front of Hao Ren should have been taken casually by an experimenter. There was no key data in them, such as the parameters of the creation of the perfect life and the specific operator arrangement. But even the notes were enough to arouse Hao Ren's interest.
"On XX Month XX Day, the experimental body in the third container lost its vitality. It was a regrettable failure. We couldn't find the cause, and it died just like that. Maybe we shouldn't have injected too much lifeblood into it …
"XX month XX day, the Experimental in container 2 is still alive, but it has undergone a serious mutation. Those twisted and proliferated limbs nearly filled the entire container, and the Experimental's brain is clearly unable to control these powerful limbs, so we had no choice but to terminate it. It was indeed difficult to forcibly fuse mortal cells with the 'primordial cells' in the lifeblood, so we had to choose another plan.
"XX Month XX Day, there was an explosion in the fourth laboratory. A container was destroyed. Fortunately, it didn't affect anything else. It was said that the cause of the explosion was because the Experimental in the container had suddenly awakened and reacted violently. She had probably sensed danger, or perhaps she was simply unable to control her own energy. In any case, this is a reminder to everyone: we are creating an unprecedentedly powerful creature. They are almost born with the power of an ordinary human being for a lifetime. Even when they are in a jar, they are more lethal than fully armed warriors and mages …
"XX Month XX Day, unexpected good news. We have detected highly active 'divine cells' in the wreckage after the explosion in the fourth laboratory. These cells are still alive and retain the powerful power of the oracle. Perhaps due to the impact of the explosion, they have a high degree of compatibility with mortal cells and can coexist peacefully with the latter! This may be the breakthrough point we have been looking for. The original oracle was too vague, so we took a lot of detours, but with the blessing of the goddess, we have finally understood your will. These precious cells will become the key to the whole project, and I can't wait to see the results of them being implanted into the new experimental body! "
The notes came to an abrupt end here. There were no torn or stained pages, so it should be all.
But even so, the contents of the notes were enough to stun Hao Ren.
