Chapter 260 The Failed Radiation Detector
"How could this happen..."
Chen Fan muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
This phenomenon clearly violates the law summarized by the Human Union Academy of Sciences - you know, the phenomenon of gene stabilization is applicable to the entire Human Union universe!
[Either there is a problem with the objective law discovered by the Human Union Academy of Sciences.]
[Or, there is a problem with this Swamp Abyss civilization itself.]
An electronic synthesized voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [This machine is more inclined to the latter.]
[It may be the stimulation of the external environment, or it may be that there are natural defects in the genes of this species.]
Chen Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and he began to recall the words of the big-headed baby fish just now.
'War?'
Chen Fan's eyes moved: 'He seemed to mention the impact of war just now?'
'Is it some kind of weapon that attacks genes?'
[This machine did not detect any excessive doses of radiation.] Yi denied Chen Fan's conjecture, [Although the atmosphere of this planet is somewhat toxic to humans, for these Swamp Abyss people, this planet should be a fairly perfect habitable planet. 】
Perhaps it saw a new tourist, the blue-skinned giant salamander that was standing beside Chen Fan shook its body and staggered away.
【There is another thing. 】
A holographic image quickly popped up on the transparent visor in front of Chen Fan.
【The machine has just activated the biological scanning function equipped with the exoskeleton armor. 】
【Although the power is not large and the scanning results are not accurate, the machine still found an interesting phenomenon. 】
The giant salamanders surrounding him have all dispersed, and Chen Fan's expression has also relaxed.
He loosened his muscles and bones, slowly followed behind the big-headed giant salamanders and asked casually: "What phenomenon?"
【These giant salamanders are probably not young. 】
Chen Fan's footsteps suddenly paused, and the expression of regret and pain on the face of the giant salamander just now quickly emerged in his mind.
"Poor child..."
The hoarse voice was faintly heard in his ears.
It seems that there are really some traces left by the years?
【Due to the lack of physiological data of the Swamp Abyss Civilization, this machine can only make a rough summary and analysis of all the scanned data. 】
Yi's voice continued to sound:
【According to the standards of humans in Varela...】
【These giant salamanders are at least 60-70 years old. 】
"Perhaps..." Chen Fan proposed a conjecture, "The life cycle of these swamp people is relatively long?"
【You don't understand what this machine means. 】
Yi once again denied Chen Fan's conjecture: 【In order to avoid the influence of the life cycle of different species, this machine detects the aging and degeneration of bones, muscles and tendons. 】
【No matter how long the life cycle is, the aging degree of the body increases in the same proportion. 】
【For example, the same degree of aging and degeneration will appear in humans in Varela at the age of 60, while humans in the human-union civilization may not appear until they are over 5,000 years old. 】
Chen Fan understood.
But he also had a deeper confusion in his heart.
Logically speaking, the age distribution of civilized individuals is very uniform, and it is impossible for such a situation where all the individuals are old!
Could it be that...
the genetic mutation has affected the normal reproduction ability of this civilization?
"Beep."
A crisp prompt sound rang in the ear, and a holographic interface that had been reduced for a long time quickly enlarged.
In the picture, Olaya has walked out of the palace-like building.
At this moment, he is standing next to his dilapidated starship, anxiously using his dry and slender fingers to fiddle with the circular electronic device in his hand.
At the same time, a familiar hoarse voice sounded in Chen Fan's ears: "Eh... why can't I receive the signal?"
"It's over, it's over..."
"That adult won't be in trouble..."
"Then wouldn't I become a sinner of civilization?"
Listening to Olaya's murmurs, Chen Fan laughed dumbly.
It seems that Olaya's troubles are over.
It just so happens that he does have a lot of questions to ask this blue-skinned giant salamander.
Thinking of this, he thought, and a fluorescent green light lit up in his empty palm, and a circular electronic device materialized.
"Got it!"
In the broadcast from the nanorobot, Olaya's voice revealed a bit of surprise, and he sighed with relief: "Finally, I found this ancestor..."
...
"Sir Chen Fan!"
The clattering footsteps sounded on the wet stone slabs, and Olaya shook his body and hurriedly ran towards Chen Fan.
After catching up with Chen Fan, Olaya asked Chen Fan with a nervous look: "Why are you here?"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and cast a questioning look at Olaya: "Is there any problem here?"
"Problem..." Olaya pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing some sharp teeth in his mouth, "It's not a big problem..."
"It's just that this is a scenic spot of the Swamp Abyss Civilization, and there are many tourists from other civilizations, and..."
Olaya was a little embarrassed to say: "A friend of mine told me that the customs here are more open, and my people...didn't bother you?"
Haha, a friend?
Is this friend you are talking about yourself?
Looking at Olaya's embarrassed face, Chen Fan once again saw the blue-skinned giant salamander shyly saying that special services would cost extra.
Damn!
He went straight into the love street, didn't he?
But then again, at his age, he is still doing this kind of thing... Is it really okay?
Chen Fan shook his head vigorously, throwing the image of [soft worm x blue-skinned giant salamander] out of his mind.
"Hey!"
Facing Olaya's gaze, Chen Fan shook his head very naturally: "No, I said I was a genetically mutated Swampman, and no one came to bother me at all."
"That's good." Olaya subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he realized the problem, "Huh? Why did you say that you were..."
The moment his eyes met Chen Fan's, Olaya silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "No, it's okay..."
Chen Fan first glared at Olaya who hung his head, then turned his head and glared at Isa who was having a lot of fun in the mental network, and Gao Yuan who was trying his best to keep a straight face.
"Let's get back to the topic."
Chen Fan sighed weakly and asked Olaya: "Your civilization... the phenomenon of genetic mutation is very serious?"
Olaya nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, isn't this normal?"
"Normal?!"
Chen Fan's face condensed: "Why do you say that?"
"Radiation from war, radiation in the universe... these will cause genetic mutations."
Olaya turned his head and cast a confused look at Chen Fan: "These... aren't common sense? Isn't the Varela civilization like this?"
Isha on the side restrained her smile and said something that shocked Olaya: "But there is no radiation on your planet at all."
"No radiation?!"
Olaya shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible! There is radiation everywhere here!"
"The attack of the Ramsey Empire has filled the entire Bray galaxy with strong radiation. This is common sense that everyone knows."
Chen Fan did not speak, but silently called up a holographic interface: "I just tested the environment of the Swamp Abyss Star and did not find any radiation that is harmful to carbon-based life."
Looking at the series of words "test standards met" in the holographic projection, Olaya was stunned.
"But, but our detector..."
He operated the communication tool in a hurry, and the corresponding interface appeared on the screen in the center of the ring.
[Radiation exceeds the standard. ]
The completely different test data appeared in front of Chen Fan.
"This..." Olaya glanced at Chen Fan cautiously, "What's going on?"
Chen Fan's face was a little ugly.
Out of the investigator's intuition, he felt that he seemed to have touched a layer of fog covering the entire Bray galaxy!
"There is a problem with your detection instrument!"
Looking at the comparison results given by Yi, Chen Fan shouted in a deep voice: "Change to a detection instrument with higher accuracy!"
...
Inside the old starship.
Olaya looked at the radiation detector that was sounding the alarm with a strange expression.
"This is the radiation detector of the Bray Alliance. Although the style is relatively old, its accuracy is still far higher than the radiation detection instrument of the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
Chen Fan checked the readings of the radiation detection instrument again with a gloomy face, and then took a deep breath: "No, this is also a problem!"
In terms of accuracy, what radiation detector can catch up with the product of the Human Alliance?
If there is a problem with the detector of the smart terminal, will the exoskeleton armor and the [Varilla] fail at the same time?
Therefore, there must be a problem with these low-end detection instruments in front of us! !
"But..." Olaya operated on the starship's main console with a nervous look, "The Central Meteorological Station of the Swamp Abyss Civilization also broadcast an excessive radiation warning..."
"..."
Chen Fan did not speak, but stepped forward and pressed his right hand on the data transmission port of the starship's main console.
"One, check the radiation detection device of this starship immediately!"
As soon as the voice fell, a white light and a slender arc appeared at the same time, hitting the main console of this starship.
Olaya moved his lips, wanting to say something but stopping.
This is the support starship of the Bray Alliance. To put it bluntly, this thing is enough to buy the lives of his whole family!
If this is broken...
The Council will have to peel off his skin!
He wanted to stop it, but thinking of the strength Chen Fan had shown before, he still silently stepped back half a step and gave the space to Chen Fan.
"The test results are out."
An electronic synthesized voice came from the smart terminal in Chen Fan's right hand: "There is no problem with the hardware."
"Look, I said..." Olaya breathed a sigh of relief and spoke subconsciously.
"Shut up." Chen Fan frowned and stopped Olaya from speaking.
"But the software has been tampered with." Yi's voice sounded again, "You can think of it as a very cleverly designed virus program."
"Its almost no destructive effect, and its concealment is also quite high."
"Its only function is to interfere with the output data of the radiation detection device."
