Chapter 34 The vague text of the pregnancy record came to an abrupt end...
Inside Bai Ze's bedroom, there was a strong aroma of medicine, and various supplements were brought in like a stream.
Ronan was very concerned about Bai Ze's pregnancy. He would come over almost every time he finished his government affairs these past two days to check on Bai Ze's condition in person. He even asked about the daily routine checkup by the medical bug in detail, and even personally applied soothing essential oils on Bai Ze.
The waiters saw this and couldn't help but sigh that His Majesty really dotes on the Queen. He actually does all these things personally and really cares about the Queen.
They are indeed a model royal couple.
"How do you feel today? Is it still well?" Ronan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Bai Ze's hand, his fingertips gently stroking his still flat belly, his eyes full of undisguised expectation.
Bai Ze leaned on the soft pillow, his face looked a little rosier than before, and the lingering sadness between his brows made him inexplicably more charming.
A white rose hit by the rain, even though it was so weak, still did not leave the branch.
Bai Ze smiled, his eyes softening.
"He's very well behaved, Lord. I'm fine. You don't have to come here every day. I'm busy with government affairs..."
"Nothing is more important than you and the child." Ronan interrupted him, his tone gentle but with an unquestionable dominance.
"Aze, this is the child we've been waiting for, the future heir to the empire. Both you and he must be absolutely safe."
Ronan said seriously and kissed Bai Ze on the forehead.
"I've already ordered that the affairs of the Southern Legion be handled by Auf for the time being. You should focus on your pregnancy and stop worrying about trivial matters."
Bai Ze's smile was a little forced, and his fingertips hidden in the quilt curled up.
"By the way," Ronan said casually.
"Vian Clement has already entered the research institute. I heard he's doing well, so much so that even Murphy has given him Class B clearance."
"I was planning on having him follow Lynn, but Murphy got there first."
"Yitulan has been quite calm lately and hasn't made any moves. How about asking him to persuade Wei'an to focus more on his research and mind his own business? After all, he still needs to take care of the affairs of the Northern Territory Legion."
Bai Ze's heart trembled and he looked at Ronan. The other's face still had a gentle expression, as if it was just a casual remark.
"Mr. Wei'an is a rare talent. It would be beneficial for him to participate in the Dawn Project." Bai Ze said carefully.
"Ituran cares about his lord very much. He won't want to interfere with what Wei'an wants to do."
Ronan smiled and stood up.
“I really care too much.”
"Okay, let's not talk about them. Your health is the most important thing right now. Get some rest. I'll come back in the evening."
Yitulan returned to the Northern Territory because of military affairs in the Northern Territory.
Wei'an began a regular routine of going back and forth between school and the academy. The Imperial Military Academy's courses became increasingly easy for Wei'an, and Professor Aaron also gave Wei'an more free time.
Wei An devoted himself to the Dawn project and spent all his time in the laboratory when he was not in class.
Murphy is a person who is rigorous to the point of being harsh in his research.
After being scolded by Murphy for the sixth time, Wei An finally understood why Murphy and Professor Aaron had such a good relationship. They were like twins, with exactly the same temperament.
However, under his guidance, Wei'an's ability to control his mental power has also improved a lot.
As research deepens, more and more experimental data proves that ∞ matter does exhibit very obvious life characteristics.
Not only can it "breathe" and absorb energy, but it can even show emotional reactions such as "fear" and "anger" when it is subjected to mental stimulation that makes it feel threatened.
"Look here," Murphy pointed to the new bright spot on the screen.
Wei An spoke uncertainly.
"Does it rely on devouring the host's spiritual energy to grow stronger and eventually replace the host?"
"Not entirely parasitic," Murphy shook his head and called up another set of data.
"It's more like a transformation. It doesn't directly consume the host's mental energy, but rather leaves its mark on the host's mental energy, slowly influencing it and assimilating it, turning it aggressive and chaotic. This is what we now define as insectification."
"The male insect's mental power can temporarily soothe the restlessness caused by this brand, but it cannot eradicate it."
Wei An was a little puzzled.
"Then how did the male Zerg before the new era do it when the ∞ matter first arrived? Why did they eliminate most of the spread of ∞ matter among the Zerg?"
Murphy shook his head, somewhat helpless.
"During that catastrophe, the casualties were immense. Many records are incomplete and chaotic, leading to a significant disruption in civilization after the advent of the new era. The prevailing view now is that the male insects of that time had even greater spiritual power, capable of purifying matter."
Wei An lowered his head thoughtfully.
At night, when I returned home and just entered the yard, Meng Er came up to me very considerately.
"Master, you look exhausted. Meng Er has prepared some hot water for you!"
"Master, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Wei An touched Meng Er's head.
"No need, you've worked hard too, go recharge."
Meng Er obediently squatted back in the corner and began to recharge himself.
Wei An didn't take a bath and went straight to the study.
He just remembered that Dean Lin En had given him a temporary authority card.
Wei An sat at the desk, his fingertips stroking the temporary card that had a slightly cool touch and represented a higher level of authority.
Wei An was a little curious, but Dean Lin En's special care made him feel uncomfortable. His mood cooled down a little and he became more cautious.
Activate the optical computer and plug the permission card into the interface. A light blue light flashes, and the encrypted database is more complex than the data previously accessible to those with B-level permissions.
Some of the information spanned a very long period of time, and some even included scanned images of paper documents. These materials were interspersed with some ancient Zerg language, so Wei An could only translate and read the information while checking it.
Wei An took a deep breath, tried to concentrate, and immersed himself in it with all his heart.
He skipped over the reports on inhibitor optimization, soothing methods, etc. in recent decades and jumped directly to the beginning of the new era to check the relevant records of that time.
Wei An even found some scattered records from before the new era.
There are only a few words on the fragmented image.
"Preliminary confirmation indicates that 'it' possesses a basic collective consciousness... and that unknown connections exist between individual entities... The key to purification may lie in severing it..."
"Warning: Direct contact with core consciousness is extremely risky... Project 'Spark' initiated..."
The unclear text in the record suddenly stopped, and the content after that disappeared.
Collective consciousness?
Unknown connection?
Fire Project?
The cold wind rushed in and blew open the window. Wei An shivered and stood up to close the window.
My mind is in a mess,
Thunder roared, and the sound of dripping rain was the autumn rain.
At this moment, his optical brain received a message.
It's Kane.
"Weian! We've made a breakthrough in Xuanyu's stability! We've found a new composite material that can withstand higher-intensity energy shocks and mental loads! When are you free? We want to conduct our first actual mental force guidance test."
Wei'an's spirits lifted.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
The next afternoon, at the Imperial Military Academy.
When Wei An entered the lab, Kane was taking a 360-degree photo of Xuan Yu, his golden hair seemingly moving with his every movement. Ford was there too, standing silently nearby, checking the final mecha data.
Seeing Wei'an's figure,
Kane almost pounced on him.
"Vian! You're finally here!"
"We've adjusted the mecha's energy core, using a newly discovered mixture of starry night sand and gold. It's increased its stability by thirty percent! Now all we need is your mental strength."
Wei An looked at the giant mechanical bird in front of him with smooth lines and a cold black light, and could feel the powerful energy contained in it.
It's definitely a little different from last time.
"What do I need to do?" Wei An asked directly.
"You will enter the cockpit in a moment, and I will guide you to connect the psychotronic helmet." Kane opened the hatch on Xuan Yu's chest.
"You don't need to perform precise manipulations. Simply extend your mental power and touch the energy markers I've set up. We need to test the mecha's agility and practical application."
Wei An nodded and got into the cockpit.
The interior was tighter than he'd imagined, but the layout was reasonable. The psychic helmet fit snugly on his head, a cool sensation reaching his lips. He closed his eyes and released threads of psychic power.
There was some stagnation at first, but Wei An soon adjusted the frequency and his mental power was smoothly transmitted to every part of the mecha.
Looking at the first energy mark set by Kane, his mental power controlled the mecha to touch it -
Buzz!
Xuan Yu's body shook slightly, and the energy bar around the mecha lit up instantly.
The predetermined mark in the distance was successfully hit.
"Success! Success on the first try!" Kane was a little excited.
"Response time 0.03 seconds! Far exceeded expectations!"
"Vian you're amazing."
Wei An maintained his state and continued to control his mental power to find the next mark.
The process went more smoothly than expected, and his mental power seemed to be extremely compatible with this guidance mode.
When the test was over, Wei An still felt unsatisfied.
He jumped lightly from the cockpit, his forehead slightly moist, but his eyes were shining, obviously he was having a lot of fun.
Driving the mecha personally and linking the mecha's movements with mental power is like extending your own body, and you can do things that your own body cannot do. This sense of power and control is fascinating.
"How does it feel?" Kane couldn't wait to move forward and almost tripped over the parts on the ground. Fortunately, Ford was quick-witted and supported him directly.
Kane didn't care about himself and continued to ask Wei An how he felt.
"Do you feel any stagnation? Is the mental strain too great?"
"Very smooth," Wei An recalled the feeling just now, his fingertips moved unconsciously, as if he could still feel the smoothness of moving it as if it were as easy as moving his own arm.
"It was easier than I thought. Kane, you're a genius."
Kane's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile, revealing his little fangs, and he raised his chin proudly: "That's right! Although Alba and I drew the blueprint together, the inspiration is mine."
After saying that, he patted Pa Wei'an's shoulder.
"But it's also thanks to your high level of mental strength. If it were another male insect, he might not even be able to complete the most basic guidance." He looked at Xuan Yu with some regret.
Wei An understood what Kane meant and comforted him.
"Don't worry. You've already developed a mecha that can be operated by male insects. Are you still worried that you won't be able to optimize it to a more universal model in the future?"
Kane squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly. Yes, he is a genius.
so easy!
Kane climbed onto the mecha and checked the temperature rise inside it. Ford, who had been silent all the time, walked forward and stood next to the mecha to make sure there was a place to catch Kane.
He also handed Wei An a clean towel.
"Sir Wei'an, you can take a break after the initial connection with the mecha to avoid mental fatigue."
Wei An took the towel and wiped his sweat. Although his mental strength was still in excellent condition, he still appreciated Ford's kindness and nodded to Ford.
"Thank you. I understand."
After that, he looked at Kane and said, "Call me anytime for the next test. I'm looking forward to it."
Kane poked his head out.
"I've recorded all the data. There's nothing wrong with the mecha internally. The next step is to optimize the mental power transmission path to reduce unnecessary losses..."
"Weian, how about we try a more difficult maneuver next time?"
Wei An curled his lips and smiled.
"Of course."
