The sudden "zombie tide" attacking the city was just a temporary episode.
Now that he knew that his teacher Ilubek was in the territory, Ren, as a disciple, naturally wanted to visit the teacher first.
The wreckage of the airship was once a complete mechanical city with all internal organs and a specialized medical laboratory on board the airship.
Renn asked the general direction of the medical laboratory and looked for it.
Then, in a large, brightly lit room, I saw an old man who looked like Einstein.
... ...
When Ren found the laboratory, the old man was crawling around among a pile of black technology instruments whose purpose he didn't seem to understand.
Compared with the previous laboratory in Glory City, the instruments here are larger and the structure is more complex. It looks like technology is crushing the times. It's like the difference between Tust's mecha and ordinary mecha. Probably due to the crash of the airship, many instruments have impact marks, but they have been repaired to the best of their ability.
He walked straight in and shouted: "Teacher!"
Hearing this, Irubek turned his head to look, his eyes could not hide the joy, and responded with a smile: "Ren, you are here."
Ren looked at it and saw that the old man was still missing his arms and legs. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Teacher, those guys from Blackwater Tower didn't make things difficult for you when they took you away, right?"
"No, I'm fine. Those guys don't dare to do anything to me..."
Irubek said disapprovingly, and then said with eyes full of relief: "I heard Tust said that you put a lot of effort into saving this old bone of mine."
After a pause, he said with some envy: "That bad old man also boasted that you went hunting together, encountered a tide of beasts, and was captured into the forest... Compared to me, you have really experienced a... What a disaster.”
The old man's experience can indeed be discussed in a few sentences. He was arrested, locked up, rescued, stayed in the laboratory, and then came here.
And when Ren thinks back on his experience during this period, it is indeed thrilling.
The master and apprentice chatted for a few words, and then they got back to the experiment.
But when it came to hunting, Renn thought of something again and said, "By the way, teacher, I brought you a lot of biological specimens. These were all collected by me in the Forest of Ashes."
As he spoke, he took out hundreds of bottles and jars from his storage ring, filled with various new animal and plant specimens collected during this period. There is even a long tentacle, which is the mouthpart of the previous "Moro Corpse King Flower".
"Eh... so many?!"
When it comes to research, Ilubek becomes a completely different person.
When he saw these animal and plant specimens that he had never seen before, he immediately seemed to have seen a treasure, his eyes gleaming, "Haha... You are so thoughtful. I just need a large number of biological specimens to observe their genetic patterns. , to study the impact of this black mist on living things..."
"Teacher, speaking of this black mist... I know a little bit about it."
Speaking of "black mist", Ren also talked about some recent observations, "Teacher, that black mist is called 'abyss demonic energy' among the Coleman tribe. It is essentially beneficial to the growth of organisms, but The energy is too violent for ordinary people... Now I have learned not to use gas masks like them, and I can obviously feel that the growth rate of my genetic power and physical fitness has increased several times... "
After a pause, he continued: "And the [black tide] that caused the resurrection of those corpses this time seems to be related to the concentration of the black gas."
"Well, the conclusions you drew from your observations are almost consistent with my conjectures. But I need some more rigorous data to confirm those conjectures... "
Irubek has obviously already done research, but science is rigorous and requires not only observation of phenomena, but also experimental data to support it.
He said: "I have dissected many 'living corpse' samples during this period, and I found that this [black tide] is a bit like undead magic. But the black air is not a pure magic factor, but It is some kind of existence that is higher than the level of laws we currently know. Even if the demonic energy does not really come from 'hell', it is probably some unknown things at a higher level... "
Ren listened thoughtfully, and it was not the first day he had known the old man's rigorous attitude towards scientific research.
Speaking of this, Irubek said quietly: "There is no shortage of materials for the effect of black energy on corpses. But there are not enough experimental samples of living bodies. Moreover, it is best to have long-term observable objects. In addition to Warcraft, most Good thing someone..."
"..."
As soon as Renn saw the old man's expression, he knew what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, Ilubek looked at Renn again, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Coleman people?"
Ren said quietly: "Teacher, you don't want to do research on Kalman warriors, do you?"
Moreover, don't think about it, the old man probably tried it and was defeated.
Not to mention the Coleman tribe who were still engaged in slash-and-burn farming, even Ren was frightened when he first walked into Irubek's laboratory and looked at the biological specimens soaked in bottles and jars. Once you hear that you need to cooperate with the experiment, it’s strange that people will agree to it.
Irubek: "Yes! The Coleman tribe has long inhaled black gas, and their tribe is the best living research sample. I originally wanted the Coleman tribe to cooperate with me in research and make long-term data observations. But people don't I'm familiar with it, but there's a language barrier, and people don't like to talk to me as an old person... Later, I asked Tust, and he said you were familiar with it."
Renn couldn't laugh or cry, "I'll help you communicate tomorrow. It may not work. Because there are still many gaps in the thinking of the two civilizations... "
"Um."
Speaking of this, Ilubek added: "Oh, and also. It would be better if we could have in-depth exchanges with the witch doctors of the Coleman tribe. I also want to see those magical herbal medicines..."
After hearing this, Renn responded immediately: "Oh, then this should be no problem. Their witch doctor is also interested in modern medical treatment. If I tell the Great Witch Festival, it should be no problem..."
Coleman's witch doctor and Irubek's modern medical system are probably the two most important branches of the future medical system in the territory.
He is also looking forward to what kind of sparks the medical skills of the two civilizations can collide with.
... ...
The master and apprentice chatted, not much reminiscing about old times, but mostly talking about medical topics.
Asked whether Ren's study progress had fallen behind, the old man boasted.
Then, naturally, we talked about the "baby" in the room.
Ilubek pointed at the instruments in the room and was very excited. "Ren, I heard that girl Ymir said that you provided the clues to the wreckage of the airship. Gee, you kid really gave it to me. What a great surprise!”
Because of his excitement, the old man's old cheeks were rosy, and he added: "Didn't I tell you before that many of my experiments are limited by equipment and cannot meet the research requirements at the ultra-micro level... The instruments on this airship Although I have only temporarily figured out the functions of some of the instruments, I am sure that they are much more advanced than the current equipment produced by the Royal Academy of Sciences in Omar! With these instruments, many of my theoretical topics can enter the experimental stage. ..."
"As long as it's useful."
Renn looked at the instruments in the laboratory and was full of expectations.
He had carefully read Irubek's research reports. He knew very well that if he really wanted to move from the theoretical stage to the experimental stage, in the medical field, his teacher would probably create many major discoveries that would shock this era.
Seeing the old man's excitement, he was a little worried and said, "Teacher, you should also pay attention to your health. I heard from Grandpa Tust that you haven't left the laboratory for a month."
"A month? No, no, no..."
Ilubek shook his head, his eyes full of enthusiasm and said: "I am an old man and I plan to die in this laboratory for the rest of my life! A laboratory with such advanced equipment is too important to me. I am now I just hate that time is so tight and there are so many experiments that need to be done... "
"..."
Renn smiled bitterly, knowing that this would be the result.
But he is still in the stage of "applying what he has learned" to medicine, and has not yet touched upon the true theoretical level of research.
In this regard, there is not much he can do to help Irubek. Biological science requires a lot of time and energy to conduct experiments, which is different from his extraordinary line for his future.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. He didn't want to spend all day in the laboratory.
... ...
At this time, Irubek suddenly said: "That's right. I heard that girl from Ymir say, what kind of free city do you plan to build in this territory? But I seem to have heard about those from the Coleman tribe and Omar. People don’t get along harmoniously..."
"Yes, teacher."
Renn nodded and said: "There will definitely be some problems at the beginning of the territory's construction. But I believe that these will be solved soon."
He couldn't go into details because he didn't understand anything about territory management.
At this time, Ilubek said something philosophical again, saying: "I don't know much about political things. But haste makes waste. Just like medicine, ideas that are too advanced are easy to Misunderstood, distorted, and demonized by the world... Although this is a new city, it will take some time for people to completely abandon their old ideas and adapt to a new system. Especially this territory is composed of people from two different civilizations. ..."
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Renn nodded. This was something he had thought about deeply, and he already had some preliminary ideas, but the process would be complicated.
At this time, Ilubek looked at Renn again and said with a smile: "Well... Regarding the integration of civilizations, I think this is just a small problem that can be easily solved."
"Oh? Teacher, have you thought of a solution?"
When Ren heard this, he looked up at the old man with expectation.
Then, I heard Ilubek say: "Actually, I have made suggestions to that girl Ymir before, let you be the city lord, and then she will marry you. All conflicts have been resolved."
"..."
When Ren heard this suggestion, he was full of expectations for a moment, but the next second, his eyelids twitched.
I don’t know if it’s because the “marriage” trick works so well that everyone can think of it.
Or it's because no matter where in the world, the elders like to lead the younger generation.
He suddenly asked with a strange expression: "Teacher, have you already told His Highness Ymir?"
Ilubek: "Yes. About half a month ago, before you came, I discovered this problem and then made a proposal to her. But the girl said she would seriously consider it, but she hasn't agreed yet..."
"..."
Ren felt his head hurt.
But after doing all this, he is still his teacher, what can he say
Ilubek didn't notice Ren's embarrassment at all, and said: "Don't worry, I will convince that girl Ymir. My Ilubek disciple is handsome and worthy of being a princess."
After a pause, he continued: "And from my personal point of view, I also hope to have a stable experimental environment. Therefore, I also hope that this territory can be established as soon as possible, and I hope you can be the city lord. I will give it back to that The girl said, if my disciple becomes the city lord, I plan to give this territory a big gift."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ren's expression completely froze.
This old man was playing the same tricks as Canossa, and he was using coercion and inducement
With a stiff face, he asked weakly: "Are you... planning to give colorful... gifts?"
"yes!"
With a confident look on his face, Irubek said: "I think if you want to build this city, you may need a more powerful extraordinary system. Therefore, I plan to combine my 'gene editing warriors' and The two research projects of 'Ultra-Purity Potion' are on the agenda! With this great gift, that girl Ymir will definitely not refuse..."
"Are you sure about these two projects?!"
When Ren heard this, he stopped thinking about the "bride price" issue.
Instead, he was stunned by the two names the old man said!
Because he had carefully read Irubek's research report. The "Gene Editing Warrior" project was targeting Bazel's werewolf bloodline!
The old man has long suspected that ordinary extraordinary beings can be genetically edited to become "hidden beast-like humans" with an extra gene chain like werewolves, thus greatly increasing their combat power!
"Yes."
At this time, Ilubek pointed to a running instrument in the laboratory and said: "The theoretical basis of this project before was actually very mature, but it lacked the necessary experimental environment and instruments... But now everything is different. It’s missing!”
After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, I originally planned to use the genes of other primate monsters to complete this experiment. But now I have found a better choice! The more complex the gene sequence, the more It can strip out suitable animal transformation genes for humans. And those earth dragons in this basin are the best choice... So I also call this plan [Dragon Blood Gene Warrior]!"
Not all Warcraft genes can be edited into human bloodline genes, only those that are suitable can.
And this involves another conjecture: high-level gods do not have reproductive isolation.
This also means that the closer to the bloodline of ancient gods, the more suitable it is for transforming genetic warriors.
And the black dragon deep in the Alcoron Mountains has almost no reproductive isolation.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, among the genetic sequences of its descendants, those dragon creatures have the highest probability of being able to extract gene chains suitable for humans!
"this... "
Ren was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He knew only too well how powerful the "biochemical warriors" in his previous life were. Now in this extraordinary world, is your teacher planning to do this
Damn, I get excited just thinking about it.
It is conceivable that if a body like the Coleman clan, which is already strong and like a monster, has the ability to transform into a beast like Bazel, how much stronger would it be
Moreover, the old man's other project [Ultra-purity Specialized Potion] is also a micro-level technological innovation.
As we all know, ordinary potions have impurities no matter how they are purified. Even for gold potions, the impurity rate exceeds 20%. Because the source of impurities is at the microscopic level, coming from the material itself.
For example, 20% of the impurities in a "strength" potion may be completely unused "intelligence".
The old man's idea is to strip away the 20% impurities as much as possible to achieve a 100% increase in strength.
But if those "useless" impurities can be stripped directly from the microscopic level of the material, it is possible to obtain genetic potions with extremely low impurity rates.
The low impurity rate means that after being absorbed by the transcendent, less talent will be wasted and the growth value of the specialization attribute will be higher!
This is a "strategic level" topic that may allow all extraordinary people to raise their combat power to a big level!
... ...
These two studies by Irubek were once only at the theoretical stage. Now that we have the instruments, we have entered the experimental stage. It really has to reach the stage of use... The results of these two studies, no matter which one, will definitely make the entire scientific community tremble!
If this technology were sold to any empire in Omar or Sid, their emperor would definitely trade it for a bunch of princesses, even a queen!
This is why the old man feels that Ymir will definitely agree. The benefits are really too great...
