The so-called "holy coffin" is actually not a coffin, but a black box with a side length of one meter and a height of less than half a meter. The box is made of unknown material, and the surface is engraved with dark red ancient runes. Several straight notches divide the upper part of the box into several large and small polygons, making it look as if it is made up of many parts .
It was smaller than Hao Ren expected.
The room where the holy coffin is stored is located in the center of the cave. Hundreds of knights and monks guard the stone house, and the stone house itself is shaped by the most powerful earth magician, which can guarantee that even the tentacles of the eldest son can resist all attacks. two. The four corners of the stone house are equipped with powerful instruments, which transmit the magical energy of the monastery on the surface to the surroundings of the holy coffin. At the same time, thick scripture blankets are hung on the four walls of the stone house. These settings not only protect In addition to its effect, it can also amplify a certain bioelectrical signal released from the holy coffin: perhaps after the original tissue in the box dies, the facilities in the stone house can delay the suppression signal for one to two days.
There couldn't be too many people in the stone house, so only Hao Ren, Vivienne, Ophra and Archbishop Auburn walked in. Hao Ren looked at the black box curiously, and put his hand on its surface, feeling warm and moist, not like cold rock or metal. Of course it is also possible that some kind of "creature" in the box is heating the device. He patted his pocket and called out the data terminal: "Can you feel anything?"
"There are very complex signals released in the container, including electromagnetic waves of three frequencies and some other types of clutter," the data terminal circled above the "holy coffin", "it is a signal transmitter, and it is constantly releasing Signal to silence the big guy next to us."
Archbishop Auburn looked curiously at the small blue bricks floating in mid-air, but considering the incredible strength and technology of the foreigners, he did not comment on this "alchemy device" that seemed to have human nature. Ophra hurriedly asked, "Can this signal be replicated?"
"Then at least you have to actually get in touch with it, get some tissue samples or something," the data terminal flickered, "It's easy to simulate the electromagnetic waves released by the holy coffin with technological equipment, but this kind of thing involving occultism... this machine thinks It should be carefully checked."
Hao Ren looked at Archbishop Auburn: "Can you open this?"
The runes on the forehead of the Archbishop of Auburn flashed sequentially. This is a sign of intense thinking, but before setting off, the Pope had personally confessed that he was required to cooperate with the "research activities" of the Gentiles. So after some thought, he still nodded: "Yes. But please be careful, it is irreplaceable."
As he said that, the archbishop put his hand on the top of the coffin and recited an ancient scripture in a low voice. With the sound of chanting, the runes and lines on the surface of the coffin gradually brightened, and then the lid of the container moved along those straight lines. The lines are split into several parts. Slowly float up and fly away.
In the container it was a big blob... hard to describe.
It was a dark red mass of strange things that looked like biological tissue, mixed with a touch of plant-like green. This weird mass of tissue looks like several animal embryos connected end to end, with a dim light flickering slowly in its depths. There is still about a third of the thick red liquid in the container, the texture is quite close to "source blood", and the weird biological tissue is soaked in it.
However, although these liquids and biological tissues look weird, they are not disgusting at all. They exude a strangely reassuring atmosphere, and even have a certain holy atmosphere: this is the substance of the origin of life, even Matter older than the firstborn.
"This is 'the ancestor of life'..." Ofra said softly. As if afraid of waking up the mass, "This is the first time I've seen it."
"I was lucky enough to see it once, a hundred and fifty years ago." The Archbishop of Auburn frowned. "At that time it was more active than it is now."
"It's dying." The data terminal quickly came to a conclusion, "This is an organ that has been cut...or an organ that fell off spontaneously during some normal evolutionary process. In any case, it is incomplete, the main body Parts have disappeared, and this part of the organ is gradually failing."
Vivian frowned: "What was it supposed to do?"
The data terminal scanned the structure of the "ancestor of life" in more detail: "It may be the first kind of ganglion, which is used to issue orders and receive orders. This machine has found that it has a powerful ability to send and receive information, just like a power A powerful relay antenna. At the same time, it also has a certain ability to think and judge... But this part of the function has been necrotic. The first seed is really amazing, its organs can survive for such a long time after being separated from the main body... "
Hao Ren instantly grasped a key word: "Accept the order?! What order do you accept?"
"This machine doesn't know. This machine only scans. It has a structure similar to an antenna, and it can communicate faster than the speed of light." The data terminal fell back on Hao Ren's shoulder, "Maybe it is to accept the order of the goddess of creation. You said that the first seed was released by the goddess to observe the starry sky, so this thing must have a communication function. After flying to the destination, it will fax a photo to its creator and send two videos or something... "
Hao Ren's eyes were immediately fixed on the mass of biological tissue and couldn't move away. He originally thought that this thing was just a simple suppressor, but he didn't expect that it might be the ganglion of the first seed, let alone an antenna!
But it's normal to think about it. If the illusion he saw is true, then the purpose of the goddess of creation is to observe the starry sky, so these first seeds must have communication capabilities-the antennas of the seeds are sealed in the holy coffin!
But now is definitely not the time to take this thing back to study, Hao Ren shook his head and calmed down: "Let's see if we can replicate this thing, or figure out how it inhibits the eldest son."
"If you want to do it, make the whole set, don't just copy these signals, we need to make a clone, and this requires a little tissue sample." The data terminal floated forward while talking, and the Archbishop of Auburn immediately subconsciously saw this situation Standing in front of the holy coffin, his face was full of nervousness: "It cannot be destroyed..."
"Just taking a few cells won't kill it," the data terminal bypassed Auburn, "this thing's vitality is stronger than you think, even if it's dying now, it's healthier than you."
During the conversation, the data terminal had already floated over the group of organizations, but then it stopped there without any movement. Hao Ren watched for a few seconds before he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The data terminal flew back suddenly: "Damn chicken, this machine forgot that I don't have hands! This machine is a PDA, what kind of probe does it have!"
Hao Ren: "..."
In the end, the omnipotent self-discipline machine in Hao Ren's portable space was responsible for collecting the samples of the "ancestor of life" and sealing them in a special container that can maintain the activity of biological tissues. This kind of container is the standard equipment for examiners, and it is used to collect carbon-based biological samples from strange worlds or store overnight vegetables—well, there is no second function in the manual, but Hao Ren developed this usage himself and said it is quite effective.
The Archbishop of Auburn was no stranger to the strange things that Hao Ren took out.
"The equipment on the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace should be able to reproduce this thing, but this can't solve the fundamental problem." Hao Ren looked at the huge tentacles on the side of the cave with his hands on his hips, "We still have to find a way to kill this thing." OK. Clean and thorough, and…”
"And it's best not to make too much noise." Ofra pointed at the feet of the crowd. "This is underground on the west side of Sunset Volcano. The nearest magma column is only a few hundred meters away. Every magic emperor suppresses the eldest son. The methods are different. The Longji Mountains use mountains to form a cage, and those stone giants, and here use magma. There are huge magma columns around several key organs of the eldest son, and there may be this deep under our feet. The largest lava lake in the world, a cloud of elemental flames in the crater of the Sunset Mountains suppresses these underground evil fires to prevent them from accidentally erupting or waking up the firstborn, but if you are like last time... "
"Orbital bombardment will destroy the magma system, causing the continental shelf to collapse. At least half of Holleta will undergo a mass extinction, and if the rock vapor enters the atmospheric circulation, more than one-third of life on the entire planet will be wiped out," the data terminal took over. , "She was right. The radar of this aircraft showed that this area was completely covered by intricate lava flows. Those magma columns and magma rivers wrapped the eldest son like a net, obviously man-made."
Hao Ren opened his mouth: "...then I have to use my brain." (To be continued~^~)
