The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 321: What the hell is this

Views:

As an official ship of the prosecutor, the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace has all the details tailored for the special profession of the prosecutor—to put it bluntly, it is what you want, what you can do, and what you can do. There are all kinds of things, which perfectly fit every captain's daily life of running around and doing chores. This ship has a container hold that is not too big but enough to store small items of goods, a self-defense artillery that is not too strong but enough to kill any mortal, and a shipboard factory that is not complete but can basically produce all kinds of essentials. Of course, there is also a set of cabins for scientific research. Thanks to the advanced space expansion technology, there is no shortage of space in this spaceship, which looks only a few hundred meters long. The scientific research cabin, as one of the important sections, is also quite spacious. The pile of junk that Hao Ren collected Throwing it here doesn't take up much space at all.

It is said to study the origin of the sacred artifact, but Hao Ren knows his own level. He is not at all with experts and scholars, and in most cases the examiner will not be a professional scientist, so this kind of scientific research cabin basically They can complete various projects by themselves. Its analysis host and servo machinery will complete all the tasks assigned. The only thing the captain has to do is to tell the analysis host what he wants to know, and to look at it after each project is completed. What did the pile of equipment analyze, just these two things. With the help of these devices, Hao Ren, who is a layman in all walks of life, can brag to others, "I'm working on a key project".

It's a pity that he can only flirt with a vampire with an abnormal brain. Except for Vivienne who has this patience, no one in the family has much interest in the Hallows of Origin, and Lily would rather devote her energy to deciphering it. Spicy recipe.

Vivian. Hesperis, Hao Ren, and Doudou, who was carried in Hao Ren's arms, arrived at the scientific research cabin of Giant Turtle Rock Platform through the newly installed teleportation device in the basement. Among them, Hesperis is no stranger to the "space teleportation array", but she has never seen something like an alien laboratory that challenges the three views. After the holographic projection and the weird buzzing space, she was stunned for a long time like sleepwalking, and then grabbed Vivienne's arm and asked nervously: "...what is the man called the landlord next to you doing? I Why do you feel more and more scary the more you look at it?"

"What's so scary?" Vivian had seen the high-tech equipment on the spaceship several times. So it was just a little curious at this time, she knew that the things here might surprise people, but she didn't think there was anything scary about this bright and tidy place.

Hesperis looked at the wide test benches and the slightly twisting mechanical tentacles above the test benches: "I kind of regret watching movies made by humans... I always feel that the main reason you tricked me from Athens The purpose is to soak me in formalin... "

Vivienne shook off her old friend's hand dumbfounded: "I found one thing, after you fill up your brain, you really talk more nonsense than before."

Hesperis was just surprised by the furnishing of the Juguiyantai scientific research cabin, God knows how surprised she would be if she knew that this strange laboratory was not on the earth at all. However, her attitude towards this place should be limited to surprise: most of the older aliens are very slow to the concept of "high technology", and there is a subtle misunderstanding that they don't understand. He doesn't bother to understand the technologies that humans have developed in recent years, and of course he can't distinguish these things, so Hesperis probably only thinks that this is an extremely advanced human laboratory in front of him. As for aliens and outer space? The... is beyond her worldview.

The scientific research cabin is a long oval room. In addition to a small general-purpose test bench along the wall, there are three large analysis units distributed equidistantly along the central axis of the room. This analysis unit is a complete set of equipment with complete functions that can handle most of the dismantling and analysis work. It includes a gravity-free suspension platform, three sets of precision cutting devices, and several energy output/inputs including source energy converters. Terminals, a large number of sensors, and a large number of tentacles hanging above the unit. certainly. The scientific name of those tentacles is "Universal Adaptive Working Arm", but Hao Ren thinks it is more appropriate to describe them as tentacles.

Popular, easy to understand, vivid, vivid - and very graphic.

Those fragmentary research samples were placed on a small test bench nearby for routine testing, while the Hallows of Origin were placed on the analysis unit closest to the door. This strange device composed of a series of cylinders and ellipsoids has been After dismantling it, it remained silent. It seemed that it lost power after leaving the temple. However, the analysis host has found the energy input end of the device, and now the analysis unit is injecting energy into the "Origin Hallow" for the third time. And watch it gradually kick in.

Hao Ren walked around the "Hallowed Artifact of Origin". Seeing that a part of its shell has been removed, including a large cylinder at its core, the complex structure inside the "Hallows" is exposed, and he can clearly see those suspicious pipes and containers.

The Hallows of Origin is an intricately constructed magical creation. Its lower part has a large number of delicate metal plates engraved with mysterious symbols and crystalline structures. Those delicate metal plates have a regular shape and precise and uniform "printing lines" just like the circuit boards in electrical appliances. Obviously the result of industrialized production. The reason for judging that the Hallow of Origin is a magical creation is because preliminary analysis shows that the operation of these metal plates is a typical magic circle rather than a circuit diagram in a technological product. The difference between the two is obvious: most of the lines on the circuit board are only Used to conduct energy, their functions are completed by various components connected to these circuits, and the texture of the magic circle is the body of the functional components, which are depicted by using "writing materials" of different materials Specific textures, so that the circuit itself has the function of components, and even produces more complex effects. This is the essential difference between the two.

This kind of thing from a technology system that is completely different from the earth's technology opened Hao Ren's eyes. He only saw the rough application of magic and alchemy products in the dream plane, but this... clearly belongs to the "high level" of the magic civilization. technology".

The crystalline structures that are also engraved with runes are similar to the metal plates. They should be more critical energy carriers, or have relatively high power during operation, so they are made of different materials.

Between these delicate structures, you can see a large number of winding pipes running through them, these pipes are intricately intertwined, and most of them are connected in one place after several aggregations: the center of the origin of the sacred vessel, where There is a cylindrical container as tall as a person.

"I tried to activate it a few times before, but because of the lack of core components, I can only let it run for a short time each time, and I can't see what those pipes are for," the data terminal has been connected to the analysis host , now it is speaking in place of the analysis host, "but basically ruled out the possibility of purification devices, water or other liquid synthesis devices, climate modification devices, etc., the most likely thing now is: the origin of the Hallows is a cultivation tank, a A culture device that combines synthesis, customization, shaping, and growth functions."

The data terminal said, and lightly touched the cylindrical container exposed after removing the back cover of the Origin Hallows: "And according to the size of this thing... it is probably used to cultivate some kind of humanoid creature .”

Vivienne took a light breath: "This sounds a bit evil."

"It's just a guess, it's just a guess," the data terminal controlled the tentacles above the analysis unit, and removed several other shields from the edge of the Hallows of Origin, "but the probability of this guess is as high as 90%—this one' The Hallows' has been used, here is its 'feeding port', and some residual substances were found here and in the core container, although it has been severely denatured... But it is certain that it is a residue of high-complexity organic matter."

The analysis unit connected the general-purpose energy interface to certain crystallization protrusions inside the Hallows of Origin, and directly injected suitable energy into it. The Hallows of Origins immediately issued a low humming sound. The crystal devices light up one by one, and at the same time, something like an operation panel lights up on the front, but only strange symbols that are repeated are refreshed on it.

"The analysis host tried to crack the operating system, hoping to find the running records of the Hallows of Origin, but these records should be stored on the missing components of this device—the Hallows of Origin only has a set of mechanical language The interactive interface, and because of the lack of key instruction sets, this interactive interface is completely useless, all the options are useless," the data terminal said regretfully, "but even these ineffective options have revealed some truths, they have Words such as 'growth acceleration, emergency inactivation, programming of innate memory, injection of thinking', etc., are completely in line with the conjecture that 'the sacred artifact of origin is a humanoid biosynthesis machine'."

Hao Ren felt an inexplicable chill in his body: "Synthetic humanoid... Who did it synthesize?"

The data terminal shook its body: "Who knows, the most important thing is gone, so we can't be sure what it will combine in what way, and what kind of finished product it will produce in the end—we seem to have only got one Empty test tubes can only be judged based on the model of the test tubes that they are used for chemical experiments, but the most critical formula has not been obtained."

"Actually, I have an idea..." Hesperis whispered suddenly, "I heard from Vivienne that you snatched this thing from Bethemos, right?" The Hallow of Origin 'This name was also given by him—the word origin itself has a profound meaning."

A lot of thoughts in Hao Ren's head were overwhelming uncontrollably. He suddenly felt that a lot of things he had grasped before seemed to be shaken. Come!

Bethemos, the old shadow fiend who has mastered a lot of forbidden knowledge, named this ancient device for synthesizing humanoid creatures "Origin"...

Could it be that the aliens on the earth are not traversers thousands of years ago at all, but... synthesized in large quantities by this kind of device? ! (to be continued~^~)
