Chapter 320 Enemy Attack
In the rest area of the Swamp Abyss production plant, in one of the wooden huts built against the Hemu.
The holographic interface gradually dimmed and eventually turned into darkness.
"..."
The hut was silent and completely silent.
A light with low power came from above, passing through the pale yellow air, reflecting a bit of dimness inside the hut.
The shadows of the three people and two fish swayed slightly on the ground, making the already heavy atmosphere even more solemn.
"... Ugh!"
Finally, Amber was the first to break the silence in the hut!
He retched a few times with an ugly face, and the skin color on his body quickly turned into a bleak gray-blue.
"Star, star sand..."
Amber's lips trembled slightly. He was so shocked that he couldn't even say a complete sentence, "The raw material of star sand is..."
"... Brain?!"
Compared with Chen Fan and the other two, Amber's reaction was undoubtedly the biggest-he used to drink star sand as a drink!
Thinking that the star sand he drank might contain brain extracts of his compatriots, Amber began to retch continuously, and his body twitched violently uncontrollably.
[Cannibalism is unacceptable to most civilizations.]
Yi's voice sounded in the cabin, explaining to Chen Fan the reason for Amber's violent reaction: [This is based on self-protection and racial continuity, an instinct imprinted in the biological genes.]
"Most?"
On the side, Isa keenly noticed the blind spot and asked with a pale face.
[Of course, the universe is so big that there are always exceptions.] Yi's voice was very calm, [Even in the territory of the Human Union, some civilized creatures do not have this taboo.]
Isa's face behind the mask became paler.
Especially when thinking of the scene of the minelayers picking brains just now, even Gao Yuan, who was always nervous, showed an unbearable distorted expression on his face.
Among the people present, except for Nicas, who was slow in thinking, only Chen Fan could remain calm - the scene in the TE913 research ship at that time was much more serious than this.
Compared with those deformed and swollen rotten meat, these brains covered with small tumors can even be called "handsome".
Wait.
It shouldn't be called sarcoma. These mutant products seem to have a special name in the Bray civilization.
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly recalled the conversation he had just heard: "...abnormal synapse?"
[Comprehensively judging, it can be basically determined that 'abnormal synapse' refers specifically to the abnormal proliferation phenomenon of the cerebral cortex of organisms. ]
One quickly gave a positive answer.
"Listening to the words of the Bray people..."
Chen Fan nodded, his eyes showing contemplation: "The active ingredients of the star sand are extracted from the brain."
"And the number of abnormal synapses on the surface of the brain has a certain correlation with the content of the active ingredients..."
"Combined with the situation of those thought synchronization control consoles..."
Chen Fan suddenly realized that the many details after entering the [Turbine] finally formed a closed loop in his mind.
But this closed loop is not perfect-it still needs some strong evidence.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan raised his head and looked straight at Amber and Nicas in front of him: "There is something that requires your cooperation." "
What, what?"
Looking at Chen Fan's straight eyes, Amber, who had just recovered from nausea, felt a thump in his heart.
A bad premonition quickly came to his mind.
"It's not a big deal."
Chen Fan pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a faint smile: "In order to verify a little conjecture, I need to check the brains of both of you."
Amber: "?!!"
Beside him, Nicas nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."
Amber turned his head suddenly, looking at Nicas who stood up and put his head in front of Chen Fan with a horrified face:
"No, buddy?!"
...
A few minutes later.
Looking at the silver-white nanomachines constantly pouring out of Chen Fan's right hand, Amber breathed a sigh of relief, and the horrified expression on his face gradually eased.
"So that's it..."
He raised his hand and wiped the light blue sweat beads oozing from his forehead.
Chen Fan glanced at the sweaty Amber and asked in surprise: "What else?"
"Is it a craniotomy for you?"
Amber smiled awkwardly and scratched his head without saying anything.
Under Yi's control, the silver-white nanomachines quickly climbed along the bodies of Amber and Nicas to the top of their heads, and then quickly penetrated into their cranial cavities.
After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Fan asked:
"Yi, what are the results of the examination?"
[The abnormal proliferation of Nicas's cerebral cortex is much more serious. ]
The moment the electronic synthesis sound sounded, the corresponding detection screen quickly appeared on the holographic panel in front of him.
Looking at the distorted synapses in front of him, Chen Fan's face became more and more enlightened.
Sure enough, it was no different from what he expected.
The function of the mind synchronization control console is to cultivate these distorted synapses.
No, to be more precise, it is to cultivate the brains of these organisms, and these distorted synapses are just some kind of external appearance.
[Those brains have arrived at the new processing area.]
Just as Chen Fan was thinking in his heart, Yi opened his mouth and gave a reminder-although the body of the Swamp Abyss Man was crushed, there were still a considerable number of nanomachines left in his brain, and naturally it could also become a holographic camera with full camouflage performance.
Brain processing area.
That should be the core production area of [Turbine]!
Chen Fan's thoughts moved, and the previously dim holographic interface lit up again.
...
The changes in the holographic interface quickly attracted the attention of others.
In the picture, the drone has transported several large baskets of brains to a more spacious and bright area.
Its scale is quite large-according to the simple measurement of nanomachines, the scale of this area has even caught up with the honeycomb production factory!
This is the core area of [Turbine].
Xingsha Production Factory!
One by one, unknown giant canned equipment is connected to each other through pipes, forming a complex steel forest inside the factory.
Under the traction of the drone, the brain full of nanomachines was put into a huge tower-shaped device.
The holographic interface also dimmed again, and Chen Fan could only judge the production process of Xingsha based on the information provided by Yi.
Crush.
Under the detection of nanomachines, the biological brains that had just entered the tower-shaped device suffered strong cutting and stirring.
The fragile brain naturally could not withstand such a degree of blow.
In just a few seconds, these brains turned into a paste-like thin brain pulp.
Then, they flowed into the corresponding centrifugal equipment along the pipes for multiple separation and purification.
Chen Fan looked at the prompt information presented in the holographic interface with shock. At this moment, he finally understood the content of the conversation between the two minelayers.
"All day with brain pulp", he never thought that this sentence was actually a realistic description! !
Compared with the "picking" work, the environment of the Xingsha manufacturing factory is indeed more challenging to the worldview of intelligent creatures.
Finally.
After nearly an hour of pretreatment, a light turbid liquid slowly flowed out of a pipe and entered a cylindrical translucent storage tank.
As for those nanomachines, they were naturally dispersed in all the purified liquids, waiting for the next changes.
...
Da, Da, Da...
footsteps came from a distance.
Then, several minelayers who were also wearing protective clothing appeared in the picture.
Under the "watch" of Chen Fan and others, one of the minelayers casually glanced at the purified liquid in the storage tank.
"Huh?"
The minelayer uttered a light exclamation: "The concentration of this batch of purified liquid seems to be good."
Hearing this shout, the other two minelayers also came to the storage tank and looked at it carefully.
"It's really good. These purified liquids look a bit turbid. They are almost catching up with the brain extracts of those level 4 civilizations."
On the other side, Chen Fan, who was sitting in front of the holographic interface, felt a few cold sweats on his forehead.
These purified liquids contain nanomachines!
How can this not be turbid? !
"Level 4? No, no, no, at least it has reached the level of level 5 civilization!" Another minelayer took over the conversation.
"Strange..."
"How could the brains of these low-level creatures extract such a high concentration of extract?" The eyes of the mine man were full of confusion. "Logically speaking, they can't withstand the high-intensity stimulation of the thought synchronization control panel..."
"Who knows?" The companion beside him shrugged, "Maybe this batch of low-level creatures are gifted and can receive stimulation for a longer cumulative time?"
"The brain... is mysterious to begin with, and it's normal not to understand it."
Hearing this, the mine man with a puzzled face hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, I have to check it out."
"If there is a problem in the purification process, this batch of purified liquid may affect the quality of the next batch of star sand!"
"Hey... go ahead." Another mine man waved his hand unhappily, "You kid... you only know how to find things to do all day long."
"The star sand production line has so many self-inspection links, how could there be a problem..."
Listening to the conversation of these mine men, Chen Fan felt his heart was lifted into the air.
Let's not talk about anything else.
Nanomachines simply cannot escape detection by a Level 7 civilization, even if they were made by the Human Alliance!
At this moment, in the small room of the production factory, Chen Fan was even ready to issue an emergency evacuation order to Yi:
"Yi, immediately..."
Before the words fell, a rapid and high-pitched alarm sounded from the holographic interface that resembled a cry! !
This piercing alarm sound directly interrupted the minelayer's sampling and testing action: "What... happened?"
"..."
After waiting for a few seconds, as the warning message popped up on the screen on the console, the faces of the three minelayers became visibly panicked.
"Enemy attack!"
"Damn it, the Ramsey Empire's fleet is coming again!!"
