Villeta followed Xiao Ran's gaze to the center of the warehouse. Apart from the GN particles, there was a device that was the most eye-catching. Through the transparent glass, she saw a person sleeping inside. She couldn't help but step forward and frown slightly.
"Ingram? What is this? "
Villeta turned around to look at Xiao Ran, as if to ask why Ingram was inside the pod.
"It's just a precautionary measure. After all, he's under control. If he's awake, both of us will be worried." Xiao Ran walked to the front of the pod and looked at the unconscious Ingram. "Similarly, this is a healing pod. If you're from the Galactic Empire, you should have seen something similar."
Villeta nodded and asked, "So, what's the result?"
Xiao Ran looked at several researchers who were busy in the warehouse. All of them were experts in the field of physical research. He waved at one of them and waited for him to come over before asking, "What's the result of the examination?"
After hearing Xiao Ran's question, one of the researchers shook his head and said, "Currently, we don't have a way to effectively detect mental problems. After our research, we considered using Homo Evolutis equipment to analyze mental fluctuations, but other than combat data, we don't have any valid data to prove that he's under control."
"That's from a mental point of view, but from a technical point of view, it's different." The researcher handed a tablet to Xiao Ran. A holographic image of Ingram's head popped up on the screen. "Through this image, we can clearly see the condition of his brain. The green part is the normal part, the red part is the abnormal part, and the rest is the part that's affected."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at the projection that was more than 90% green. Then, he looked at the red area that was spread all over his brain. He asked, "Then, there really is a problem?"
"That's right. The red color is the part of the brain where there is abnormal activity. Even when the individual is asleep, the abnormality remains the same. From this point, we can confirm that the individual is indeed under the control of some factor, affecting his thinking and memory." Then, the researcher waved his hand twice on the image, and the image turned into a strange object with eight tentacles.
Xiao Ran frowned slightly. Looking at the spider-like thing that gave people a bad feeling, he asked, "What is this?"
"It's something that resides inside the individual's brain. It's a special machine that's only nano-sized or smaller. After our research, we found that it's because of this thing that the individual's memory, emotions, and mental state are affected. Even though we've discovered this thing, because it's a nano-sized machine that's inside the brain, there's no way to deal with it..."
"Even the enhanced healing pod can't do that?" Xiao Ran looked at the expert. The Enhanced Healing Pod that the expert mentioned was something that he had brought back from Prometheus. It had the ability to heal and strengthen genes. Needless to say, it could heal even broken limbs and blind eyes. As for gene strengthening, it was a function that could be strengthened through the use of blood serum.
The products of Prometheus were definitely the best of the best. Just the healing properties alone were already very high level existences.
"No." However, after hearing Xiao Ran's question, the expert shook his head. "There's no problem with the individual's biological characteristics at all. There's no damage to the brain either. We can't use normal treatment methods to eliminate the problem. We can only use other methods. Just the healing pod alone won't work. Plus, the location of these nano-machines is related to the brain, so we don't dare to act rashly."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and asked, "Then is there a way to interrupt the function of these nano-machines?"
The expert shook his head. "So far, we have found that the way these nano-machines receive signals is completely beyond our understanding. With the density of GN particles, we can only say that the individual's existence is hidden, but there's no way to interrupt the function of these nano-machines. It's like there's a line that we can't touch that directly connects to these nano-machines. It affects both the nano-machines and the individual."
Xiao Ran muttered, "The law of causality."
"What?" The expert didn't understand Xiao Ran's words. Even Villetta, who was listening to the conversation, looked at Xiao Ran with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing." Xiao Ran shook his head. "So you're saying that if we don't get rid of these nano-machines, there's no way to get rid of these nano-machines?"
"That's the current situation." The expert nodded and said, "But we can't rule out the possibility that the individual can get rid of the nano-machine's control by his own will. Of course, that would require a very strong mental power, but we don't have enough research on mental power, so there's no way to do that."
"Understood, I will arrange to increase the research on mental power in the future." Xiao Ran returned the tablet to the expert, then looked at Villetta and said, "Do you want to talk to him? I can wake him up, but I can't guarantee that he won't have any other problems after he wakes up."
Villetta looked at Ingram, who was still in the healing pod. She raised her hand and gently touched the glass cover of the healing pod. She shook her head without any change in her expression, "No need. Let him stay in this state. He won't have to do anything against his will. I believe that he will wake up on his own one day."
Villetta turned to Xiao Ran and said, "I have some information to tell you."
"It's about Meteorite 3, Cyptakin, right?" Xiao Ran told Villetta what she wanted to tell him. Villetta was still in a state of shock, so he continued, "I already know about that thing, and I've already told my people to prepare for it. As long as it's within the range of GN particles, nothing can escape my detection. But I still don't know what Cyptakin is. What is it as a last resort?"
