Chapter 1201 The 2nd Experiment
Chapter 1201 - The Second Experiment
The second death row inmate was sent to the mansion, just like the previous one, on a voluntary basis. Even so, the death row inmates had to compete for this spot.
If you can survive the experiment, your death sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment and you will be sent to a mine or quarry to happily dig minerals or smash stones for the rest of your life. Food and lodging will be provided, medical care will be free, and there will be armed guards (guards) to guarantee your safety. As long as you do not escape, dying of old age without any illness is an unattainable good end for a villain with a lot of blood on his hands.
There is no such thing as amnesty or release. If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price, or even a greater price to make up for it.
This time, the mental quality of the death row prisoner was stronger than the previous one. At least he did not tremble when being stared at by the female underage gold dragon. He sat cross-legged quietly in the corner, waiting for his final fate.
Compared with the last alchemical experiment, the combination of alchemical tools this time has become much more complicated. It looks more like a cylindrical cabin with many arc-shaped alchemical tools of varying lengths inlaid on the outside of the top. The internal diameter is about two meters and the height is three meters. Even intelligent races taller than humans, such as orcs and demons, can be accommodated.
Before the death row inmates took the stage, the alchemists threw in several animals as experimental subjects. None of them could be considered intelligent creatures, so they could only detect "spiritual essence" but could not confirm their "soul". In the end, they all foamed at the mouth and fell into a coma. They did not bleed from all seven orifices like the previous death row inmate and died in a horrible way. At least they survived. Whether they could wake up or not... that was not important. What was important was whether they should be roasted or stewed.
Although the alchemists who have entered the working state do not regard human life as human life, they are not butchers who kill people without hesitation. The royal family will not approve the sending of 108 living people at once to gamble their luck and try whether immediate death sentence can be commuted to life imprisonment. Moreover, there are not many death row prisoners who are suitable to serve as experimental subjects. Most of them are lunatics who have lost their minds. If they go crazy and destroy the alchemical tools, they will not only fail to help, but also cause trouble. Therefore, strangulation or beheading are more justifying their evil deeds.
"Start recording, Delan City time, 10:11 a.m. Who is that? Number 2, right? Are you ready? Do you want to go to the bathroom first?"
The alchemist's assistant who was in charge of recording was writing on the tablet computer and turned to look at the death row prisoner waiting in the corner.
"No, are we going to start?"
The death row prisoner moved his cracked lips, hoping that he could die gracefully and not cause trouble to these distinguished adults. He basically had not eaten or drunk anything in the past 24 hours, and his intestines had been emptied. At this moment, he did not even have the slightest urge to urinate.
"Stand inside, stay quiet, and don't move."
The assistant pointed to an alchemical tool that had been used several times. This was a prototype and did not take into account the streamlined design. Its large size meant that more spell runes and lines could be engraved on it.
"it is good!"
After not eating or drinking for 24 hours, the death row prisoner stood up shakily. His body felt weak and even his voice became feeble.
Cautiously, he entered the alchemical artifact's cylindrical cabin. Looking out from the inside, it looked more like a cage, except that the cage holes were larger and he could enter sideways.
"The countdown begins. Three, two, one!"
The one who presided over the activation of the alchemical instrument was still the heavenly alchemist, as it was natural for him to do so due to his rich experience.
A project team has a Heavenly Rank leader, which is already a very powerful team consisting of more than 40 alchemists and warlocks divided into three groups. There is a Heavenly Rank alchemist and a Heavenly Rank warlock, and most of them are of low status. Beings like high-level Human Rank are only qualified to help.
Originally, the order was given by the Sri Lankan royal family. Now, because the project is very interesting, many professionals have volunteered to join in, and the atmosphere has become quite lively. It is okay for an outsider like Chen Fei to say a few words occasionally, but if he says too much, he will easily be despised.
The arc-shaped alchemical tools assembled on the top automatically decomposed and circled around the cabin-shaped structure. The patterns on the surface of each alchemical tool emitted a faint glow, and the elemental energy in the atmosphere suddenly became imperceptible.
Only by suppressing the elemental energy can one more easily detect the existence of "spiritual essence".
"Hmm!" The death row prisoner standing inside suddenly let out a muffled groan, the expression on his face became slightly distorted, and his body twitched from time to time, but he still persisted.
If you hold on, you will live; if you can't, you will die. This was agreed upon from the beginning; it is the principle of surviving from death.
"Hold on! Don't die!"
The alchemists who were taking notes outside encouraged the death row warrior.
No one has ever tried the feeling, but one can guess from the other person's reaction that it is probably an experience worse than death.
"Ok!"
The death row prisoner's eyes suddenly widened and his teeth chattered.
"The concentration of 'spiritual essence' has increased. It's the frontal lobe. It's the frontal lobe!"
The Heavenly Alchemist, who had released his mental power and was closely connected with those alchemical instruments, suddenly shouted in ecstasy.
The "spiritual essence" in the theoretical sense has been proven to have practical significance.
Cheers immediately broke out in the alchemy workshop.
“Write it down, take a break, and then move on to the next step.”
The Heavenly Alchemist needed time to calm down his excitement, so he chose to temporarily suspend the operation.
The alchemical instruments in motion slowly slowed down and returned to their positions. The death row prisoner standing in the center gasped for breath, his body stopped twitching, and he soon collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. It seemed that he had suffered a lot, but it was not over yet.
“It’s actually true that all things have spirits!”
Herseman Brown and Dang Weijun looked at each other. This statement not only exists on the Sky Star, but also on the Blue Star. In the biological definition of humans, they are classified into the Mammalia class, Eutheria subclass, Primates order.
Primates, the leaders of all spirits.
The feeling that the end of science is metaphysics is beginning to become stronger and stronger.
Chen Fei said calmly: "Well, the next step is to prove the existence of the 'soul'."
The frontal lobe is sometimes called the third eye or the celestial eye and is connected to the pineal gland through the Fibonacci sequence.
Make bold assumptions, verify carefully, and work backwards from the answers. In fact, there aren't too many surprises. If we can't prove the existence of "spiritual essence", then all the previous preparations and efforts will probably become disappointing and useless.
"What kind of state would a 'soul' be? I have no idea at all, and I'm really looking forward to the real answer."
Herseman Brown was sure that he had a soul, but he had no idea what it really looked like.
If all of the material cells and DNA base pairs, and the non-material "spiritual essence" and "soul" could be analyzed,
It should be almost no different from the giant "Qin" who spread the seeds of life in different dimensions of the world. Humans may even become the new "creator".
Chen Fei suddenly said: "Vortex! Just like the Milky Way!"
He raised his hand, and a star coin broke into countless tiny particles, forming a slowly rotating galaxy spiral shape above his palm.
"I think it should be a Tai Chi shape, like a quantum entanglement shape. I bet 10,000 star dollars."
Herseman Brown also has his own guesses.
"Regular tetrahedron, ten thousand stars!"
It was a rare opportunity for the Dang Wei army to join the war.
"Want to start gambling? I'll be the banker!"
The bored female underage gold dragon Iridium raised her head and wanted to join in. She was not short of money and had plenty of pocket money.
It is the main reason for the severe shortage of space in the alchemy workshop. The dragon body lying on the ground directly occupies one-third of the area.
The dragon's tail rolled over a small blackboard, clamped a talc pen and started writing on it.
Vortex, regular tetrahedron and Tai Chi, the names and investments of Chen Fei, Dang Weijun and Herseman Brown correspond below, the amount is 1, and the unit is ten thousand star yuan.
There was no need for any guidance or persuasion, as others automatically joined the betting ranks. Most people, like Chen Fei and the other two, bet 10,000 star dollars. There were also a few wealthy people who bet the most, even 300,000 star dollars.
All of them, alchemists and warlocks are people with rare abilities. Besides, they work for the Slan royal family, so their pockets are bulging. They have achieved personal financial freedom early on, and a little gambling is just for fun, so there is no harm in playing a little bit like this.
After a rest of about half an hour, the experiment continued.
During this period, the death row prisoner even received a magic potion that could enhance his mental strength. Not only could it refresh him so as not to affect the state of the subsequent experiment, it could also increase the intensity of his mental fluctuations and increase the detection sensitivity of the alchemical tool.
Just like before, the mental power combined with the alchemical tool clearly captured the faint tiny spots of light lingering on the forehead of the death row prisoner, and from time to time they would penetrate the skin and enter deep into the brain. They were not elemental energy, but something outside of it, existing everywhere. Not only did they float in the air, or move in and out of the surfaces of various objects like breathing, even the alchemical tool would absorb and release these tiny spots of light that had never been discovered before, and the number was countless.
The combined alchemical instrument can not only sense the existence of "spiritual essence" in a targeted manner, but also see through brain tissue and organs like an X-ray machine.
The "spiritual" light spots that entered the death row prisoner's brain were really structured along a spiral trajectory. After circling several times, they actually entered the pineal gland tissue. Every time a light spot entered, the entire pineal gland would light up slightly.
When the celestial alchemist focused his attention on the pineal gland of the death row prisoner, he could feel that this tiny tissue organ was vibrating and contracting according to a certain regular rhythm, and it was filled with an unknown number of "spiritual" light spots, but they did not dissipate again.
Just as the Heavenly Alchemist thought of this, the pineal gland, which was not very large in size, suddenly shrank drastically, and countless "spiritual" light spots were released like an explosion, even reaching a "dazzling" level.
Almost at the same time, the death row prisoner let out a long breath and collapsed in the alchemical instrument cabin.
It’s cold again?!
