"Something's wrong..."
Jinfeng City, in a laboratory that looks like a makeshift one.
Wen Xiuyuan looked at the analysis report in his hand and adjusted his reading glasses.
His brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of confusion.
The other researchers were just like him, staring intently at the contents of the report.
"teacher."
Luo Lin raised his head and looked at Wen Xiuyuan, whose hair had already turned gray. "I've been wondering lately, could it be that the light the strange beasts fear isn't what we imagine it to be?"
Recently, Wen Xiuyuan, Luo Lin and all the researchers have been working almost non-stop on the project.
Luo Xiu had previously approached Luo Lin, hoping that he could speed up his research as much as possible.
Although Luo Lin's reaction was very cold, he knew it very well in his heart.
They are trying their best.
Everyone in this lab is working very hard.
Wen Xiuyuan's care for Ning Fan is no less than anyone else's.
He also knew how much help it would be to Ning Fan once the project came to a conclusion.
Originally, Wen Xiuyuan had been studying the relationship and restraint between spirit servants and sunlight.
To be honest, Wen Xiuyuan didn't know where to start with this new research direction.
After all, I'm old.
Neither his energy nor his imagination is as strong as when he was young.
Thinking has become solidified and trapped in one's own "experience".
He tried to recruit some low-soul-level people in the lower city to come to the upper city to cooperate with his experiment.
But the speed at which the spirit servant dissipated was too fast.
In the end, he could only obtain data that looked somewhat useful but was of no practical use.
What Luo Lin wrote down in his notebook were actually these experimental results.
Fortunately, compared to Wen Xiuyuan, Luo Lin is younger.
Moreover, Wen Xiuyuan once admitted that Luo Lin's ability in this area surpassed his.
The belt was an idea proposed by Luo Lin, and it was eventually proved that his idea was indeed feasible.
This time, Luo Lin once again proposed a direction.
Start with the strange beasts.
According to the information they had obtained before, the alien beasts had strong evolutionary abilities.
The reason why the people in the upper city are afraid of the strange beasts is that they are worried that after the lower city no longer exists, the strange beasts will evolve to adapt to the upper city.
That is to say, as long as there is enough time, the strange beast will inevitably evolve into a state where it is not afraid of the sun.
Of course, the current high-level monsters have been dealt with. Even if the monsters can really adapt to the "light", they cannot pose too much threat to the upper city.
What Luo Lin meant was that since the strange beasts were also "cultivated" by the people of Shangcheng, could their evolutionary abilities be used on spirit servants?
This idea seems a bit far-fetched for an old man like Wen Xiuyuan who has basically lost his imagination.
But since there is no other direction now, and it was Luo Lin who proposed this idea, Wen Xiuyuan also felt that it was always okay to give it a try.
That’s how the project got started.
Although many of the strange beasts in the lower city have been cleared out, lower-level strange beasts can still be seen everywhere.
The Yin Dog came to the upper city.
This is also a historic moment.
Everyone is curious about what changes will happen when the strange beasts come to the upper city.
All the researchers gathered at the [Prison Gate], waiting for the first batch of Yin dogs to be transported up.
Originally, most people thought that as soon as the strange beasts reached the upper city, they would be "killed" by the sunlight.
It might even dissipate.
Unexpectedly, the Yin dog that had just arrived in the upper city did not die immediately although it struggled frantically in the cage.
The sun did burn their skin until it ulcerated, but that was only an injury.
Life is still there.
And then, during the process of transporting the Yin dogs to the laboratory, more than half of them died.
Some of the tenacious Yin dogs even persisted for a whole day and night before finally dying.
This made researchers including Wen Xiuyuan and Luo Lin happy.
After all, the damage caused by "light" to the strange beasts was much smaller than they imagined.
At this point, this research direction has become the highest-level project in this laboratory.
Wen Xiuyuan followed Luo Lin's idea and considered whether there was a way to block the stimulation of sunlight on the strange beasts.
After all, there is moonlight at night.
If we can completely avoid these lights, will the strange beasts be able to survive longer?
However, this theory was overturned.
The experimenters tried various materials to isolate the beast from light, but the final result was...
No impact at all.
The vitality of Yin dogs varies, but the longest-lived one cannot exceed twenty-four hours.
Such a result obviously made the experimenters a little frustrated.
Light is inevitable.
If this problem cannot be solved, the spirit servant will not be able to live in the sun.
Then the high-level combat forces in the lower city will never be able to come up.
After finally finding a new direction, I found that this road is still blocked. This feeling really makes people feel powerless.
But at this moment, Luo Lin said that the strange beasts might not be afraid of light...
Wen Xiuyuan looked up at him, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"I have read Mr. He's notes many times."
Even when facing Wen Xiuyuan, Luo Lin's face remained completely expressionless: "The theory behind the [Beast Taming Lock] is to utilize the superior and inferior relationships between alien beasts to form a simulated command method to control them."
"And the most core and basic element of this command method is... smell."
"Whether it's a Yin dog or a red tiger, their thinking patterns are very simple. The simplest and most direct way is to distinguish between the same species and different species by smell."
"It is precisely this point that the [Beast Taming Lock] utilizes to achieve the prerequisite for the 'coexistence' of humans and alien beasts."
Wen Xiuyuan naturally knew this information.
He had also read He Ziqing's notes countless times.
But he didn't quite understand what this had to do with the current situation.
"I'm just extending this theory to speculate. Could it be that the existence of 'light' isn't the reason why the alien beasts can't survive?"
Luo Lin adjusted his glasses and said, "Or to put it another way, light isn't the main factor that causes the alien beasts to die?"
Wen Xiuyuan's expression changed instantly.
He was just trapped in his own "cognitive world".
This doesn't mean that his reactions are so slow that he can't think.
When Luo Lin said this, he immediately realized a problem.
There is sunshine in the upper city, but not in the lower city.
This is something they have been considering all along.
But what if we turn the question around?
What is there that the lower city has but the upper city doesn’t?
Could this be the reason why the strange beasts cannot survive?
"You mean..."
Wen Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment: "Poisonous miasma?"
