Chapter 567 Brain Expansion
While inspecting the battleship engine area, Chen Fan stared blankly at the blue light spot in front of him that seemed harmless but was actually marked with at least three high-risk exclamation marks.
The moment it approached Chen Fan, the light spot seemed to be attracted by something and sank into his body in the blink of an eye.
The fleeting feeling of "fullness" and comfort made Chen Fan's almost frozen thoughts work again.
"Apophis..."
He widened his eyes slightly, somewhat unable to believe the information he heard.
"Didn't those scorpions... explode with the central black hole of the anti-universe?"
Although the words were a bit rough, it was the fact.
At the beginning, the Apophis giant scorpions, which were surrounded by the human coalition fleet, chose a fight to the death. They used the time crystals in their bodies to cause the collapse of the central black hole in a way unknown to the human alliance, which not only triggered the devastating black light crisis, but also put themselves in an irreparable situation.
In theory, the development of things is indeed like this.
But...
the situation at this time obviously has some unexpected variables.
Apophis giant scorpions unexpectedly appeared in other cosmic bubbles again!!
Are they survivors of the anti-universe singularity disorder, or are they the new "army" sent by the Apophis civilization?
If it is the former, it is not a big deal, but if it is the latter...
Chen Fan wanted to continue to ask for details of the war, but the changing environment outside the patrol warship interrupted his thoughts - while he was thinking in a daze, the turbulent wormhole channel had disappeared, replaced by a busy and vast starry sky.
A huge star gate whose boundaries cannot be seen by the naked eye stretches across the starry sky. Starships of various sizes and shapes emerge from the depths of the star gate emitting soft light, and quickly disappear into the visible universe in waves of space-time fluctuations of varying strengths.
The main universe of the human alliance has arrived.
Like other starships, accompanied by a gradually strong space-time fluctuation sweeping over, the patrol warship also abruptly disappeared in the starry sky.
…
Dazzling light emerged from every corner of the starry sky, illuminating the dark and deep starry sky.
Countless dense celestial bodies were operating in an orderly manner in this bright starry sky under the control of macroscopic gravity, and in the center of these dense celestial bodies, a gyro-shaped giant structure with a scale of one hundred light years was running quietly.
Endless [strings] spread out from the base of this building, accurately controlling every rule of this starry sky.
This is the absolute core of the Human Union Main Universe, the Human Union Central Academy of Sciences.
Inside the Academy of Sciences, the Biology Branch.
Thanks to the Academy of Sciences, which covers an area comparable to dozens of star systems, the Biology Branch, as a key branch, is also extremely large in scale - even daily commuting within the branch often requires the use of a central jump platform developed based on single-soldier jump technology.
A strangely shaped experimental building, like a scalpel, stands quietly in a corner of the Biology Branch. From its area ten times that of a conventional experimental building, it can be easily seen that this experimental building has a very special status in the Biology Branch.
Not only that, the dozens of independent research ships with slightly different shapes docked next to the experimental building have made this experimental building look even more impressive. In the Human Union Academy of Sciences, only the top-level I academicians have the quota for independent research ships.
This is indeed the case.
This experimental building is a comprehensive laboratory set up specifically for the I-level academicians.
It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the high-end technologies related to biology in the entire Human Union have come out of this experimental building.
The first floor of the experimental building.
Buzz!
Accompanied by a faint space-time fluctuation whizzing past, a dazzling and distorted light lit up on the central jump platform that had been silent for a long time.
As the space-time fluctuation gradually subsided and the light gradually faded, three people and one stone, four distinctive figures emerged from it.
"Tap! Tat! Tat!"
A sound of footsteps resembling metal collisions rang out in the hall.
Before the light on the jump platform completely dissipated, the shortest figure hurriedly jumped out of the jump platform.
"Hey! Isa, wait a minute!"
Two or three streams of light flashed on the surface of the blood-red crystal that was several people tall, and then it glided in the air and caught up with Isa: "We have to wait for Academician Wang to pick us up."
"But..." Isa's anxious voice came from under the black hood, "Chen Fan, he..."
"There are many access control doors in the experimental building. If you break in without sufficient authority, you will most likely be punished." Redstone shook his heavy crystal body helplessly, "You don't want to cause trouble for Lord Chen Fan, do you?"
Redstone did not speak, but just stood there silently, and cast a blank look with a bit of curiosity at the extremely spacious hall.
"And you too."
Seeing Isa stop, Hongshi turned around again and shouted to the jump platform behind him: "Gao Yuan, Queen Ophelia, you can get off the jump platform!"
Hearing Hongshi's call, Ophelia, accompanied by Gao Yuan, carefully walked down the jump platform that had long since returned to peace. Although she had been living in the main universe of the Human Union for some time, this kind of high-end technological creation that can be seen everywhere and far exceeds the civilization of Xinaluo still brought great shock to the queen.
Beep.
A crisp prompt sound rang out, and a figure constructed by holographic projection gradually appeared in front of Hongshi.
"Zero."
Hongshi hurriedly shook his crystal body and saluted respectfully to the figure in front of him.
"Wang Jing is already waiting for you, go quickly." Zero's expression was not relaxed, and even looked a little serious. "The anti-universe patrol starship has arrived at the main universe star gate and is currently rushing to the Academy of Sciences. It is estimated that it will not be long before Chen Fan, the kid, will wake up."
As Ling's voice fell, guiding arrows made of holographic projections quickly appeared under everyone's feet and extended to the closed laboratory in the distance.
...
Biological Laboratory No. 1.
The moment the access control was lifted and the door opened, everyone couldn't help but feel a palpitation when they saw Chen Fan lying peacefully in the top medical cabin with a pale face.
Five whole months!
During these five months, Chen Fan remained in a vegetative state - even worse than a vegetative state, a vegetative state still has a little self-awareness, and Chen Fan, in a sense, is just a piece of meat that relies on biochemistry and electrical signals to maintain basic activities!
If there were no top medical cabin, it is conservatively estimated that Chen Fan would have become a skeleton now.
"... Wang, Academician Wang."
Looking at Wang Jing, who was wearing a white research robe and standing busy in front of the medical cabin, Isa called out carefully.
"Hmm?"
Wang Jing paused, then turned to look in the direction of the laboratory door: "It's Isa..."
"Wait a little longer, the patrol warship is expected to arrive at the central star field in three minutes."
"Then Mr. Chen Fan..." Hongshi took over the conversation and asked Wang Jing.
"Don't worry, the boy is in good condition now."
Wang Jing waved his hand and buried his head in adjusting the parameters of the biomedical cabin again: "I've read the report, the boy almost absorbed 50% of the zero-point energy of the patrol warship along the way."
"I guess he must have starved to death in the anti-universe."
"The only thing to worry about is his physical body."
As he said, a hint of worry flashed in Wang Jing's eyes.
Isa's breathing stagnated, and the smile that had just appeared disappeared instantly, and a few slightly disordered and meaningless streams of light flashed across Hongshi's body.
"From the comprehensive data of absorbing zero-point energy, Chen Fan's consciousness seems to be much stronger than before."
"Although I don't know what his consciousness has experienced, I am worried that... there will be some degree of compatibility issues between his consciousness and his physical body."
"Compatibility issues?" Hongshi suddenly realized, "Are you referring to the situation I encountered during the consciousness conversion process?"
"More or less."
Wang Jing thought for a moment: "It may be slightly more serious than yours. After all, you are only converting at the same life level, while Chen Fan has crossed two life levels."
"But don't worry too much." Seeing that the expressions on Isha's faces became anxious again, Wang Jing waved her hands repeatedly, and at the same time, she nodded to several academicians in research uniforms in the distance, "Did you see it?"
"They are all biological level I academicians."
"In order to ensure the safety of this kid Chen Fan, the Academy of Sciences has used all its capital."
Ding!
The prompt sound suddenly sounded in the laboratory, instantly interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"The patrol warship has arrived at the central star field."
Zero's voice was a little solemn: "The information entropy fluctuation in the battleship engine area has dropped sharply. Preliminary judgment shows that Chen Fan has left the patrol starship."
Before the voice fell, a series of bright red warning prompts representing abnormal information entropy fluctuations quickly popped up in the holographic interface in front of Wang Jing.
Almost at the same time, a humanoid shadow with only a vague outline and a soft white light all over its body appeared without warning directly above the medical cabin in the center of the laboratory.
"Oh my god!"
"What is that?!"
Although every academician had learned about Chen Fan's existence in the materials, this sudden scene still brought great shock to many academicians in the laboratory.
The quiet laboratory also became chaotic.
Of course.
Not only other academicians, but even Wang Jing, who was most familiar with Chen Fan, was shocked by the scene in front of her.
After all, in her past experience, consciousness bodies, like information flows, are simply impossible to observe with the naked eye.
"...Chen Fan?"
Wang Jing calmed down and carefully greeted the suddenly appeared humanoid light group.
[It's me. ]
A line of text appeared on the holographic interface: [Academician Wang, can I return to my body now? ]
"You..."
Looking at the information entropy fluctuation index that had already exploded, Wang Jing's original confidence suddenly wavered a little.
She interrupted Chen Fan's attempt to "sink": "Wait! Wait a minute!"
"Your current consciousness strength... is too high."
"I'm worried that there will be some compatibility issues!"
"Give me some time, I'll do one last test and adjustment!"
Seeing Chen Fan nod, Wang Jing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly returned her attention to the holographic interface full of bright red warning prompts.
On the other side.
With the appearance of Chen Fan, Ophelia, who was carefully hiding behind Isa and Gao Yuan, and whose body was also filled with white light, seemed to have received some kind of signal at this moment, and began to flicker unconsciously following the frequency of Chen Fan's consciousness.
It's just...
In the chaos, no one on the scene noticed this subtle phenomenon.
Or in other words, even if they saw this phenomenon, no one cared about its existence-everyone on the scene knew that the Xinaluo people used light as a means of communication, and this kind of stroboscopic light was very common in the Xinaluo civilization.
...
Time passed by bit by bit.
After Chen Fan's consciousness hung in the air and acted as a light bulb for nearly three hours, Wang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head from the many holographic interfaces in front of her.
"Everything is ready, Chen Fan, you can start!"
At Wang Jing's call, Chen Fan's heart moved, and he drilled into the body lying inside the medical cabin without hesitation.
Swish!
Almost the first moment he drilled into the body, an unprecedented sense of narrowness and crampedness suddenly surged into his heart.
Previously, Chen Fan had similar feelings when he returned to his body, but...
this was the strongest one!
At the same time.
"The target has detected consciousness fluctuations!"
"Consciousness fluctuations are increasing, and the current intensity has reached 1 carbon-based standard value!"
Listening to the broadcast from the side, Wang Jing stood in front of the medical cabin with her hands folded and an uneasy look on her face.
Although she had conducted several backtests on the entire return process, no one could be completely sure when it came to the third type of life form and the mysterious consciousness body!
"…The current consciousness intensity has reached 1,000 carbon-based standard values!!"
"Academician Wang!" An academician raised his head suddenly and warned Wang Jing, "It has reached the critical value!"
Wang Jing took a deep breath and pressed a few buttons on the holographic interface as planned: "Start brain expansion!"
"Inject nebula extract!"
Buzz...
At the moment the order was issued, the originally quiet medical cabin suddenly made a slight humming sound.
Several needles popped out quickly and pierced Chen Fan's brain with extreme precision under Zero's control. The translucent liquid inside the syringe was also injected into it.
Looking at such a horrifying scene, Isa, who was "watching the battle" from a distance, couldn't help but frowned.
"Nebula extract." Wang Jing observed the parameters in the holographic interface while explaining to Isa and the other three, "After a large number of biological experiments, we found that it can not only induce the generation of high-dimensional resonance, but also rapidly expand the brain area of organisms."
"As for the side effects... As you know, polluted information flow can cause almost irreversible cell canceration and death, but after the breakthrough of information barrier technology, we can almost completely avoid this side effect."
As Wang Jing spoke, the holographic interface that was originally flashing a red warning light gradually stabilized. At the same time, the value symbolizing the strength of the consciousness body also began a new round of surge.
Ten thousand.
One hundred thousand.
One million!
Even Wang Jing couldn't help but feel a little shocked when she saw this series of amazing numbers: "Oh my god..."
"Is this really the body of a carbon-based creature?"
No one responded to her mumbling. At this moment, everyone present focused their attention on the medical cabin!
"Beep."
The sound of the buzzer sounded quietly, and the humming sound dissipated. The soaring strength of the consciousness body finally stabilized at a terrifying number.
"Did it succeed?"
Hongshi asked carefully.
Before the voice fell!
Behind the transparent observation window of the medical cabin, Chen Fan's previously closed eyes first showed an extremely weak tremor, and then, under the gaze of everyone, these somewhat dazed eyes slowly and firmly opened!
