Chapter 126 Human

"Not bad. This time the feature is surprisingly mild. Compared to the magnetic burst feature, it's a bit more natural."

Violence is the joy of collision, gentleness is the comfort of tightness.

As his mind turned, he stretched out his left index finger and placed it opposite to his right index finger.

Then, the electric arc bounced slightly and quickly bounced towards the index finger of the left hand like a rubber band.

Then, the arc splits into two and the cycle repeats.

This time, direct current turned into alternating current that was transmitted across the air.

The crackling sound in the air gradually became fainter, and then became quiet and silent.

"This characteristic can be called micro-electricity. If used to stimulate the body's qi, blood, and muscle bursts, it will be more profound, gentler, and more harmless."

“And, if used properly, it may be able to strengthen the neural response.”

Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.

The improvement in the reaction speed of an evolver generally depends on three dimensions.

The first is the cognitive speed, the second is the speed of nerve signal transmission, and the third is the speed of physical movement.

Among them, Li Yi's predictive ability is fully utilized, which is a reflection of his fast cognitive speed.

He has excellent skills and can exert force better. On the basis of the same physique, his shooting speed will also be faster than his opponents.

If the same person stands in front of him, he can quickly predict the opponent's next moves at the beginning with his rich experience and perfect skills.

Therefore, even when facing someone who is stronger than him, as long as the speed does not exceed the limit of his observation, he can predict everything from head to toe, and then quickly strike back and beat the person.

This is a victory of the superposition of cognitive speed and action speed.

The transmission speed of nerve signals is limited by the thickness of the nerves and the transmission speed of the internal electrical signals.

This depends on the level of evolution, and cannot be improved through skills for the time being.

Generally speaking, major qualitative changes will only occur before and after each major level.

But now, with the gentle and easy-to-control characteristics of microelectricity, the transmission speed of this divine signal may not be limited to the current speed.

As long as the transmission speed of electrical signals within nerves can be enhanced by using micro-electrical properties, the reaction speed will naturally become faster.

"However, I still need to find a few mice to experiment on how to increase the speed of my nerve signal transmission."

Apart from training, he would often think about and experiment with various small techniques related to these minor divine characteristics, or absorb the activated related memories in his dreams.

As long as it is confirmed to be feasible, it can be put into actual combat quickly.

The reason why he can now stand on equal footing with those upper-level mecha masters as a newly-entered mid-level evolver is, in addition to the high foundation brought by the second limit-breaking, naturally relies on the various experiences and skills accumulated over time.

…

That afternoon, the three ships held another impromptu meeting.

This is an exploration mobilization meeting.

Those present were basically the various on-site staff officers, exploration team captains, mobile team captains, etc.

At this moment, Lin Huiyi, who was previously in charge of the General Logistics Office, began to speak: "I won't say any more nonsense. According to the latest news from the headquarters, the special mecha team will arrive here in about two standard days."

"Before that, we still need to conduct a thorough sweep of the first five levels."

"We don't need to clear the next few levels completely. But for the densely populated areas in levels 2 and 3, I hope everyone can work together and have the best soldiers from each team go out again to clear the areas from the outside one by one, collect and transplant those giant trees and vines one by one."

"Dig deep underground to find out all the dormant and hidden divine creatures and capture them completely."

"Although those giant trees are very tall, given the size of our three starships, it will be no problem for us to occupy all the key plants on the first three floors."

"These are all resources. If you don't take them away, someone else will take them away next time!"

"We took it away, and the ones who will benefit from it in the future are you! Your relatives and friends! Your future generations!"

After the mobilization speech, many people who were close to giving up were given a boost and their fighting spirit was rekindled.

After all, anyone would be tired after doing this for more than ten days.

However, some people in the audience raised questions.

Zhou Changling raised his hand and asked, "So, how do we solve the regional ban on speaking?"

Lin Huiyi said:

"It's very simple. Push forward! Start from the outside and push forward those dense trees. As long as we can break the oppressive environment, the ban will be lifted!"

"Of course, during the push, we must strictly abide by the three basic principles."

"First, don't talk during the whole process! Commands must be given by hand gestures!"

"Second, every time you push a small circle on the outside, you need to rotate other groups to come up! To avoid being continuously affected by the environment!"

“Third, no matter whether the push-up has any results or not, you must stop the activity every 20 minutes and rest for at least 10 minutes!”

"This strategy has basically been effective in the past when developing areas with banned words!"

“The only problem is that the workload is huge and the efficiency is low!”

"But it doesn't matter, because these giant trees themselves are special resources. It would be better if we collect them!"

Guanshan Yue Road:

"I also have a question. If the giant tree itself is the thing that maintains the balance of the ruins, if we remove it rashly now, will there be any major changes?"

This question made Lin Huiyi think for a while.

She thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a problem that needs to be considered. However, since the map of the sixth level has been verified and confirmed, it means that the scale of the ruins has indeed exceeded everyone's imagination. It is a well-deserved discovery of the century."

"In that case, the changes in the first three floors will probably have little impact."

"But this is a matter of great importance, so we really can't be careless."

"How about this, we start with the second level, slow down the pace, and advance gradually. We will then have a few geological experts aboard the ship monitor the changes in real time."

"Let's see what we can achieve in the remaining one or two days."

Guan Shanyue nodded and said, "I have no objection to this."

Finally, after arrangements, the second level's push team was to be led by the first and second level exploration teams, and another mobile team from the Sun Chaser.

The three teams selected strong players and re-formed a 15-man team as the main push group.

The exploration teams for the third and fourth levels also selected strong men as rotation groups, also consisting of 15-man teams.

In addition, the on-site staff officers of the first four levels were reassigned to the two teams to assist the captains, exercise their own maneuverability, discover problems, and deal with them at any time.

As for the first level, the densely populated areas are just guarding mechas, which have already been completed before and are not included in this discussion.

…

Although it is only a task for two teams, others also need to be on standby at all times to prevent any accidents.

Everyone in Li Yi's team gathered together at this moment, waiting for news.

Because it is necessary to turn on the divine mecha at any time and enter the rotation and support team in time.

Therefore, everyone just used the divine core to radiate the body and drank nutritional supplements without exercising, so as to avoid excessive consumption and being unable to exert their combat power when entering the ruins.

Based on this, everyone could only chat.

Cai Xiaodong said: "Speaking of which, I recently communicated with the people from the other two ships, and I heard some explosive gossip."

Sun Duxiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Boy, hurry up and share!"

Cai Xiaodong said with a smile: "I heard that the exploration team of the second level found what is suspected to be the wreckage of a virtual reality mother machine under a giant tree during their previous sweep!"

"Virtual mother machine?"

Sun Duxiu was slightly stunned: "Isn't this an invention of our human race? How did it appear in these ruins? Could it be that the last time we explored the virtual ruins, we used this mother machine?"

Cai Xiaodong shook his head and said, "No, this mother machine seems to be one of the first three test machines manufactured."

Many people frowned immediately.

As we all know, virtual reality is a brand new invention created by humans independently and does not rely on ancient divine technology.

It was invented more than 120 years ago, and its prototype was a combination of a quantum computer and a brain simulator.

Yao Shiwan pondered and said, "Weren't the first three test machines stolen from the Earth Museum fifty years ago?"

"Bingo!"

Cai Xiaodong snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, this is the point! So, you can imagine how outrageous it is to find the wreckage of the third test aircraft here."

Li Yi asked curiously, "I'm more curious about which part of the test aircraft this wreckage belongs to."

In order to track down and understand the person Wu Huanling, he also learned a little about the virtual mother machine and had an entry-level understanding.

Although it is very superficial, it is basically a system.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Cai Xiaodong pondered, "I heard that the wreckage seemed to be called a brain projector. I don't know what its specific function is and whether it can still be used. It is said that the reason why it is judged to be the original mother machine is that the serial number engraved on the projector corresponds to the third test machine."

Li Yi said: "Brain projector? This thing can convert the visual information collected in the human brain into electrical signals. I didn't expect it to be this."

Tan Haoran asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this thing?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's not special. This thing is usually located in a relatively internal position in the conventional structure of the virtual mother machine."

Sun Duxiu thought thoughtfully: "In other words, these virtual test machines may be scattered around here?"

"It is also possible that it was demolished and only this was brought here, but the possibility should be lower."

Li Yi said: "But since this thing is here, it means that this relic is not our first discovery. Someone else discovered this place, but for some reason, he did not explore it in depth."

Everyone talked for a few words, but due to the lack of relevant information, they gradually changed the subject.

Zuo Ying asked, "By the way, Brother Yi, have you found anything about the gourd man's body? Have the experts come up with anything?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Not yet, but according to the feedback from over there, the corpse of the gourd man is most likely not the gourd man, but a human who died a little over a hundred years ago."

"Of course, this time has excluded the interference of material changes here, and is calculated according to the real timeline."

"If we follow the material change rate of the fifth level, this time would have to be extended to more than 100,000 years ago."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Zuo Ying didn't find it strange. The last time she examined the corpse herself, she had concluded that it was too similar to humans.

But without a DNA test, she couldn't be sure.

Cai Xiaodong asked quickly, "In other words, the gourd man is still alive? The corpse is actually just a scapegoat? Then what about the record in the second hand?"

Li Yi has also been slowly translating the 12 pages of translucent high-information compressed paper these days, but because the experimental content and professional terminology are relatively complicated and there is a lack of corresponding reference materials, the translation progress is slow and no results have been achieved so far.

However, he did review the contents of the second note after his skills were advanced to the mastery level, and the basic meaning was basically the same.

Li Yi said:

"The content of the second translated note is fine. I guess the Gourd Man should have successfully escaped the trap set by the ruins in the end."

"And that human, as Cai Xiaodong said, might just be a scapegoat, or he might have been killed by other test subjects left behind by the Gourd Man."

"After all, the second note only mentioned that the gourd man was in a bad mental state, but never mentioned chest pain."

Cai Xiaodong laughed when he heard this and said, "Since Li Yi said so, it means my guess is very accurate."

Zheng Xueyuan thought for a moment and asked:

"Is it possible that the gourd man is actually a human? As for him always saying that he is an immortal, maybe it is just a fantasy literature? It is actually a creation of his boredom?"

The pharmacist shook his head and said:

"It's unlikely. Many of the situations recorded by the Gourd Man vaguely match certain historical changes of our human race. Moreover, the complex gourd writing is a self-contained system and is also recorded on the planet Setan. It can't be a fantasy."

"But the possibility exists that the Gourd Man is a human being, or the ancestor of humans."

"But it's possible that it has nothing to do with anything. It's just that humans happened to be there. Who knows."

Li Yi said: "There are too many possibilities. We can only wait for the Biological Research Center to see if there are any different discoveries for us. But if it is really a human, it is unlikely that no one has found it after more than ten days. Therefore, the corpse line can only be broken there."

"Unless this DNA can be matched to the gene bank of all mankind and the corresponding human genetic history records can be found, it would be of some reference value."

Tan Haoran was shocked and said:

"It's really fucking complicated. It seems that there are quite a few secrets hidden in the Tianshu ruins. I hope they can push through it smoothly without any accidents."

I don’t know if Tan Haoran was a jinx, but 10 minutes later, an accident happened.

…

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! An extremely violent earthquake, as if the heaven and earth were about to collapse.

Amid the rumbling sound, countless ornaments in Cabin 18 began to fly everywhere.

The shock was so great that it actually knocked over many divine mechas stationed in the side warehouse.

Because they were all in a state of being ready to start at any time and were not locked with anchors, after this super-strong earthquake, all the divine mechas on standby collapsed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Loud noises of divine mechas falling to the ground could be heard from cabin 18.

The mecha pilots felt something was wrong and rushed into the cockpit to start their divine mechas.

After a while, the earthquake finally ended.

During the subsequent inventory, it was discovered that there were actually logistics personnel passing by who were directly crushed by the divine mecha, leaving nothing behind.

The scene was in chaos.

News came that the earthquake was indeed related to the push mission.

When the two teams pushed forward to one of the towering trees in the middle, the second level began to shake, and large chunks of special alloys from the dome kept falling, hitting one divine mecha after another.

Fortunately, the interior of the divine mecha is strong enough, and the pilots are all mid-level evolvers with strong strength.

Therefore, although the push team was a little embarrassed, they were still safe as a whole.

On the contrary, the logistics team members more than a hundred kilometers away were even more unlucky, and several of them were killed by their own divine mechas.

There were also many seriously injured.

If you keep the anchor locked to the mecha normally, it won't matter how it shakes.

It happened that the earthquake occurred at a time when all the mecha divisions were on standby, which eventually led to such a ridiculous result.

Lin Huiyi, who pushed for this matter, also had an extremely ugly expression on her face. She kept issuing orders, appeasing the logistics team while adjusting the deployment of the standby mecha division.

"All mecha divisions, quickly restore order! Once the restoration is complete, except for the squad responsible for alert, all other mecha divisions will exit their mechas and lock them in the side warehouse to prevent a second earthquake!"

"Push team, transport the giant trees that have been collected back, and stand by for the rest of the time!"

At this point, the push plan was aborted.

If there is no way to solve the problem of violent earthquakes caused by pushing the giant tree flat, it is naturally not advisable to continue pushing it flat at the moment.

Li Yi therefore gained more personal time and continued to train hard.

In the blink of an eye, on the third day after this incident, a long rectangular starship, nearly half the size of cabin 18, landed nearby.

Obviously, the people sent by the headquarters have finally arrived.
