Chapter 263 Star Sand? Nebula?
"Nebula potion?"
As Chen Fan finished speaking, Gao Yuan subconsciously held his breath: "Brother Fan, why, why did you mention this?"
To be honest, if Chen Fan hadn't mentioned it, Gao Yuan would have completely forgotten it in the deepest part of his memory.
This happened too long ago.
The most important thing is that Nebula is a potion used by those extreme radicals in the Mechanicus, and these extreme radicals have long become an inconspicuous dust in history.
Not to mention that the Varela civilization has moved to a new planet, the extreme cold storm that swept the entire planet alone is enough to kill those extremists in the Mechanicus.
Thinking of this, Isa's pretty face also showed some confusion and bewilderment: "Nebula... Although the names are a bit similar, there should be no connection between these two things, right?"
But Chen Fan obviously didn't think so.
Under the blank gazes of the two, Chen Fan continued to stare at the mysterious fine sand floating slowly in the dark blue liquid in front of him: "The madman of the Mechanic Cult died after mentioning the nebula."
"Out of curiosity, I later asked Commander Meng of the Varela Resistance."
"The resistance and those madmen of the Mechanic Cult have been fighting for a long time, so Commander Meng knows a lot about the Nebula Potion."
As he spoke, Chen Fan reached out and picked up the crystal cup in front of him again, and brought the gorgeous but dangerous liquid to his eyes: "According to Commander Meng, the reason why the Nebula Potion is called Nebula is that the user will see a nebula-like illusion when using it."
"Just now, Olaya seemed to have seen such an illusion."
The expressions on Gao Yuan and Isa's faces froze.
"This... maybe it's a coincidence?" Isa said timidly, "Varela and the Bray Galaxy are quite far apart."
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows without comment.
"Coincidence?"
"I hope I'm just overthinking."
As he spoke, he glanced around.
Several blue-skinned giant salamanders had already woken up from their hallucinations. They looked at the star sand in front of Chen Fan and the other two, with extremely obvious desire and greed in their eyes.
Of course, there was also some confusion hidden in the desire and greed.
They had never seen a scene like this before, where they did not drink the star sand in front of them.
Even several big-headed giant salamanders who served as waiters cast doubtful eyes at Chen Fan and the other two.
"Drink this cup of star sand first, so as not to be suspected."
Chen Fan, who was afraid of attracting the attention of others, nodded to the two assistants, and then raised the crystal cup to the jaw of the mask. He drank it all
in one gulp.
The empty crystal cup was put back on the stone table, making a crisp collision sound.
The dark blue liquid quickly passed through a crack in the jaw of the mask, and flowed very smoothly along a thin pipe into the cavity inside the mechanical exoskeleton armor that was specially used to store liquid samples.
After a short wait of a few seconds, Chen Fan slowly lay down, looking at the ceiling made of steel with a "dizzy" look.
Gao Yuan and Yisha naturally followed suit and "drank" the star sand in front of them, then fell sideways on the extremely wide chair.
Seeing this scene, the giant salamanders in the distance sighed helplessly, and then retracted their eager gazes.
...
'One, try to analyze the star sand. '
Without any hesitation, almost at the same time as "falling down", Chen Fan gave an order to One: 'Scan Olaya's physical condition to see if the star sand has any effect on his body. '
[Received. ]
An electronic synthesized voice sounded, and a small part of the star sand stored in the cavity was taken out.
Considering that the investigators are performing an investigation mission, the mechanical exoskeletons of the Bureau's investigators are usually equipped with relatively complete detection functions.
Although the accuracy is insufficient and the detection ability cannot catch up with professional equipment, it can still analyze a lot of information that is invisible to the naked eye when combined with the basic scanning function.
[No high-radioactive substances were detected. ]
After waiting for a while, the electronic synthesized voice sounded again in Chen Fan's mind, and brought him a not-so-good news.
The star sand itself does not have radiation.
In other words, it was not a gene mutation caused by radiation.
The holographic mask began to reveal some symbols and data that Chen Fan could not understand at a very fast speed. This was Yi trying to analyze the specific composition of the star sand.
"Is it harmful to the human body?"
Chen Fan asked in his heart as he glanced at Olaya who was lying not far away through the mask.
[From the composition alone, there is no major toxic effect. ]
[But this machine does not know the working principle of the star sand. ]
Yi gave an answer: [Further analysis requires the use of professional equipment. This machine recommends that you send it to the biological laboratory of the Administration for detailed analysis. ]
Chen Fan nodded: "How is Olaya's physical condition? '
[There is no abnormality at present. ]
[But the brain activity has increased to 270% of the normal level and is still rising slowly. ]
Chen Fan suddenly realized that this should be the refreshing effect that Olaya said.
Increased brain activity does bring this strange feeling of refreshment to intelligent creatures.
"Increased by 2.7 times?" Chen Fan's face was full of surprise. "Will there be any problems?"
[There must be side effects.]
Yi denied: [Under normal circumstances, such a significant increase in brain activity comes at the cost of neuron lifespan.]
[The nanorobots did detect the phenomenon of mass death of neuronal cells.]
'... That's it?' After waiting for a while, seeing that Yi did not continue to speak, Chen Fan questioned with great surprise, 'This thing only has such a few side effects?'
'What about gene mutation?'
[Sorry, according to the current monitoring results, there is no direct connection between Xingsha and biological gene mutation.]
Chen Fan's face was completely ugly.
This is bad.
After the radiation detector, another clue was broken - so far, according to the various analysis results given by Yi, Xingsha is actually a drink that can temporarily stimulate the potential of the thinking organ.
In addition to being addictive and "brain-burning", it does not have many toxic side effects.
In fact, addiction is also normal.
After experiencing the extremely clear brain, almost no intelligent creature can accept that they have become "stupid" again.
'Could it be...'
Although there is no clue about the genetic mutation problem at present, a new idea slowly emerged in Chen Fan's mind: 'The Ramsey Empire invaded the Bray galaxy just to obtain star sand? '
If you think about it carefully, this thing can indeed be called a strategic material.
If there is enough star sand, some scientific researchers can "explode" at the cost of their lives.
Although the sequelae will be more serious, the technological level of civilization may have a qualitative leap and breakthrough!
No wonder advanced civilizations have to strictly control this kind of drink!
Just as Chen Fan was about to get up, a piercing alarm sounded in his mind!
[Something went wrong! ]
[The gene sequence of Oraya has undergone abnormal changes! ! ]
...
At the same time.
Swamp Abyss Civilization, Council Chamber.
Several blue-skinned big-headed salamanders walked solemnly from the ship landing pad not far away, and then swayed up the steps and entered the magnificent council chamber.
After a short wait, a fierce discussion broke the majesty and tranquility of the council chamber.
As if there was some dispute, the blue-skinned giant salamanders' skins were shining bright blue, and they started arguing fiercely in the hall of the council.
"Damn it! I don't agree!"
One of the giant salamanders roared hoarsely, "How many of our people have we sent out since the war started?"
"If this continues, before the Ramsey Empire officially invades, our Swamp Abyss civilization will probably be self-extinct!"
A tall giant salamander stared expressionlessly at the Swamp Abyss councillor who was roaring in the council hall, "The parliament has voted, you can continue to object, but this will not affect the final execution of this order."
Beside this tall giant salamander, a dozen slightly smaller big-headed giant salamanders also stared at the councillors in front of them with an unusually calm attitude.
"Baroka, calm down."
"The Swamp Civilization needs Star Sand, and it also needs the armed support of the Mining Alliance."
"This is the price we have to pay."
"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down?" The congressman named Baroka became more and more agitated, "Treason, this is an act of treason!!"
As he said, he shook his festering flippers and rushed to a giant salamander with a cold expression: "Nabi, you clearly disagreed with this proposal before!"
"Why did you suddenly change your position? Did they threaten you?!"
Under Baroka's gaze, the congressman named Nabi gently raised his dry and thin arm, and expressionlessly pushed away Baroka's arm that was grabbing him: "I didn't think it through before."
"For the development of the Swamp Civilization, certain sacrifices are necessary."
Baroka looked at Nabi in front of him with horror: "Nabi..."
"You, you have changed..."
The horror look gradually turned into deep disappointment.
Nabi's expression fluctuated a bit, but he quickly returned to calm: "I have always been like this."
"The Swamp Abyss Civilization will surely rise, and for this, I am willing to become a sinner of the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
After the voice fell, Nabi slowly turned around and walked towards the inside of the council chamber.
The tall giant salamander looked at Baroka meaningfully, and after throwing down a sentence,
he also turned around and walked towards the inside of the council chamber: "Senator Baroka, sooner or later you will understand us." Baroka looked at his colleagues in a daze as they returned to the council chamber. Feeling the extremely cold and indifferent gaze, he shuddered violently.
Changed, everything changed!
Since the invasion of the Ramsey Empire, his colleagues have gradually changed!
Thinking of the plan executor mentioned in the discussion just now, Baroka blinked gently, and the translucent hard eye mask covered his black eyeballs, covering up the cruel color in his eyes.
For the future of the Swamp Abyss Civilization, he must do something! ! !
