Chapter 1271 - Harvest
Chen Fei, who was guarding Chapala City, had not been able to obtain any valuable information from the intelligence dealer Kraken. Instead of waiting idly, he simply borrowed a passage from the "Boundary Pearl" life space and passed through a "Star Gate" under the "Tree of Life" to directly reach the exclusive royal residence of Delan City, the capital of the Slan Dynasty, on the continent of the Sky Star Continent.
This royal courtyard has now become an exclusive unit for studying the souls of intelligent races.
As long as the accurate positioning coordinate data is obtained, configuring the "boundary gate" of Longinus is indeed of no use to Chen Fei. The "boundary gate" must be matched in pairs, while the "star gate" does not. Although the energy consumption is extremely high, he obviously does not lack energy reserves.
When Chen Fei walked out of the secret room in the royal residence where the coordinates of the star gate were located, he happened to see the building where the soul research team was carrying out corpses, one after another.
The expressions of the dead were different. Some were very peaceful, as if they were asleep. Some had faces full of fear, as if they died with their eyes open. Some had faces full of confusion, as if they had become confused ghosts. Some had no expression on their faces, as if they had not suffered any pain and had just passed away.
A large truck was parked in the courtyard, and the corpses that had been moved out were thrown directly onto it, stacked up on top of each other. The number was no less than ten, and the races of the corpses included but were not limited to humans.
When a person dies, all his orifices open, just like a special morgue. The air is filled with a lingering faint stench. It is obvious that this situation has been going on for some time.
Chen Fei frowned slightly, wondering how many lives these researchers had taken during the time he was away.
Under the highly centralized feudal imperial dynasty, no one cared about the slightest protest or opposition.
At worst, we can secretly induce conflicts, draw out all the opposing forces, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop. There will be a war every few decades to eliminate hidden dangers and deep-rooted problems, bring forth new ideas, and repeat this over and over again, under the euphemism of calling it "rotational war"!
Whether it is the federation or the dynasty, politics is always dirty.
"Good morning, everyone!"
There are a few new faces in the soul research team. With the help of artificial intelligence AI "Adam" connected to the team's database, Chen Fei can still call out their names and know their ability level and related information.
The first person to respond to the greeting was a celestial sorcerer, who was best at soul-related spells and was also one of the leaders of the team.
The entire soul research team is now divided into three directions, all moving forward in parallel. With the help of constantly improving alchemical instruments and the unlimited computing power support of the "planetary-level computing nodes" provided by Chen Fei, as well as an unlimited supply of death row prisoners, there are new gains every day, which makes the originally imperfect soul research continue to advance by leaps and bounds, and finally produces qualitative changes through the accumulation of quantitative changes.
The team members greeted Chen Fei one after another, especially the new members, who took the initiative to introduce themselves. Although this did not prevent Chen Fei from knowing them in advance, it was a matter of attitude.
The entire Soul Research Institute was established because of Chen Fei. He provided the life-extending agents containing soul substances, as well as related equipment and a large amount of computing power support. Therefore, any research result has the indispensable credit of Chen Fei. If it were not for him, the Slan royal family would not have concentrated manpower and material resources to support this project. This is already the best resource and support that can be found. Such conditions and sponsors cannot be found anywhere else.
"I heard there was some major progress, so I came to take a look when I had some free time."
Chen Fei stated his purpose straight away.
"We have discovered an active substance that has a very good affinity with soul energy."
The celestial sorcerer who greeted Chen Fei first took out a cylindrical glass jar from the shelf against the wall, which contained a brain biological specimen.
The brain tissue suspended in the transparent and viscous preservative solution did not come from a human, but from the brain of a demon. Two deep main grooves divided the brain tissue into three even lobes. This sample came from a male demon who was more than 200 years old. He had dual elemental affinity talents for fire and darkness. He was a second-level warrior before his death. He died from a recurrence of an old injury and his body was donated. It was not the tissue and organs left behind by a death row prisoner.
The experiments in soul research are indeed somewhat inhumane, so the brain tissue of death row prisoners is often unable to be preserved intact. A considerable number of skulls have completely turned into a pink paste mixed with blood and spinal fluid, and are not worth removing.
"This is the brain of Mr. Jiongsa, a warrior of the demon clan. We can see two cerebral grooves, while humans only have one. This is just a difference in race. The giant demon beast Xuanyuhuangxing has at least hundreds of cerebral grooves and even multiple sub-brains. Now we can accurately detect the existence of soul energy. After all, it is relatively easier to have the answer first and then work backwards to solve the problem." The Heavenly Warlock pointed to the alchemical tools and scientific instruments of various sizes in the room. The magic alchemy based on elemental energy and the technology based on industrial processing are called "magic movement". Blue Star's Dragoon Magic Movement Industry is named after this, which directly indicates the company's technical expertise, and it is the only one of its kind in the entire Blue Star.
Seeing that Chen Fei nodded to show that he understood what he said, the warlock continued.
"Soul energy is mainly concentrated in the pineal gland, which is also the core of mental power. So we speculate that mental power is the manifestation of the soul. The stronger the soul, the stronger the mental power. After hundreds of samples have been verified, this speculation has been proven to be true, which means that the mental power fluctuation intensity index can be used to measure the amount of soul energy." The Heavenly Warlock gestured to the demon brain in the transparent cylindrical tank and said, "And our dominant hand and specialty will also determine the distribution area of a small part of soul energy. I just said that most of the soul energy is concentrated in the pineal gland, but not all of it. There is still a small amount of soul energy in other parts of the brain tissue, the left brain or right brain of the human race, and most of the demons are concentrated in the midbrain."
At this moment, the Heavenly Warlock's finger was pointing at the piece of brain tissue sandwiched between the two main grooves.
"Thank you very much, I understand."
Chen Fei knew that it took a lot of thought for the other party to explain those very complicated technical terms in a way that a layman could understand. Otherwise, he would be confused and speechless at this moment.
If we don't use simple language and let a group of complete novices listen to things about shooting, building and repairing airplanes, they will definitely not be able to tell the difference between BBA and ABB. They will most likely think that the person flying the airplane will only shout "pay the bill" when he is about to die, otherwise he will just get it for free.
"Now that we have found the direction and proved that soul energy does exist, the next step will be much smoother. The alchemists are divided into two groups. One group extracts soul energy affinity from brain tissue, and the other group artificially synthesizes similar affinity. Both paths have been successful."
The Heavenly Warlock had a conical bottle filled with a transparent liquid in his hand. He shook it in front of Chen Fei and said boastfully, "Why don't we combine the two into one to double the effect?"
Chen Fei stared at the container shaking gently in front of him and said, "Well, wouldn't this kind of thing become inactive if placed in a regular storage magic tool?"
"what?"
