Chapter 248
A0 gave the answer quickly.
[Your current second-stage integration progress is 3%. Based on the current integration progress, it will take about three years to complete the second-stage integration.]
[The second stage of integration is different from the first stage, and it takes longer for your body to reach a balance.]
If you want to forcibly change the fusion time and speed up the fusion process, you can use the same method as the first stage of fusion.
【However, based on the system's monitoring and observation of your body, this may cause you to feel very uncomfortable.】
[Even during the process, you may feel pain.]
[The system does not recommend that you make this decision.]
When it comes to giving advice, A0 is reliable.
"Aside from the method used during the first stage of fusion, there's no other way, right?"
【Yes. 】
[The fusion process is the process where you and the master of this world reunite the two parts of the whole from physical to spiritual. After entering the second stage, this process cannot be interfered with at will.]
This means that there are other stages later.
And what A0 said about 'the two parts of the whole being separated...reunited', the meaning of this sentence does not seem to be simple.
"If the second stage is not the end, there are still several stages to come."
There are four stages in total. The second and third stages are critical periods. Once you have passed the integration period of the third stage and entered the fourth stage, the integration is basically complete.
"It takes three years. That's too long."
"According to what you said, the third stage of fusion will probably take a long time."
[It is currently impossible to determine, but based on the time required for the first and second stages, the fusion time for the third stage will not be less than the time required for the second stage.]
That is to say, the minimum guarantee for the third stage is also three years, and the upper limit is also uncertain by the system.
Qi Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, I planned to advance the fusion stage, complete the second stage as soon as possible, and upgrade my mental power to above A level."
"Then we try to remove the energy that blocks the male insects' brains, but it seems that this is impossible."
"Regarding restoring the male insect's spiritual power, besides the two methods mentioned earlier, is there no other way?"
"Now that the system has been upgraded to level three, there's no content targeting this aspect?"
Although Qi Heng asked this, he actually didn't have any hope in his heart. After all, he had already read the content of the system update this time, and there was no mention of anything related to this aspect.
There is no other way.
[However, if you decide to do it yourself, there are some compromises.]
"Tell me about it."
This is a pleasant surprise.
[After the system reaches level three, the medical assistance function has also been upgraded. With your mental strength combined with the system's medical assistance function, if you perform a recovery operation on an existing male insect, there is an 85% success rate.]
"If the success rate is 85%, then the failure rate is only 15%... If it fails, what will be the result?"
"Will the male be harmed?"
No.
[As the master, your spiritual power is completely harmless to male insects. As long as you don't want them to be harmed, you won't cause any harm to them.]
【But there is one condition that needs to be clarified. 】
[During the implementation process, you need to use the spiritual power that belongs to the master. It must be the pure spiritual power that belongs to the master, not your spiritual power that is still in the process of mutual fusion.]
The spiritual power possessed by the pure master.
Qi Heng had only seen this when he was forcibly pushing the degree of fusion in the first stage.
Deep in his brain, he saw the 'other self', a spiritual being composed purely of mental power.
Unlike a half-baked person like himself, that spiritual body is made up of pure mental power. Even if there is only a touch of mental power, he can feel his power.
If that was not a part of himself, it would only take a little bit to break his weak mental defense into pieces.
"I can't control that part of the power."
No, it's not that it's completely uncontrollable, but I can use it a little bit, which is completely different from the smoothness of using mental power now.
What's more, the operation requires precise control of mental power to eliminate the energy in the male insect's brain.
[The Overlord's spiritual power is too strong. You cannot use all of it before it is fully integrated. Therefore, you can try to separate a strand of spiritual power and continue to master the use of this strand of spiritual power.]
Qi Heng frowned slightly.
He understood what A0 meant.
Deep within the brain of this body, the master's mental power completely constitutes the existence of "another self". He can separate a strand from "him" to use as a "scalpel" during surgery.
In this way, when clearing energy from the male insect's brain, the power used is completely the power of the master.
"The operation failed. The Overlord's mental power won't harm the male insect. But the energy swirling in the male insect's brain has been affected, yet it can't be removed. Isn't that a problem?"
[The system's medical assistance function can restrain the energy in the male insect's brain.]
[If the operation is successful, the life energy used to block the male insect's brain will dissipate, becoming harmless, and eventually merge into the male insect's body, repairing some of its hidden injuries.]
If the operation fails, the disturbed life energy will run rampant in the male insect's brain. At this time, the system will assist you in restraining that life energy and trapping it in its original area.
[This way, no harm will be done to the male insect's body.]
After listening, he said something.
"This method sounds similar to brain-blocking technology."
[Yes, if you further develop this technology, you can also block the brains of others and deprive them of their mental power.]
[The technology used by the Ikar civilization can only be used when they are young, without affecting the safety of young male insects.]
[However, if you do not care about the life of the person being deprived, this technique has no restrictions and can be used on anyone you wish to deprive of their mental power.]
“…”
He was not surprised at all. Qi Heng thought that this system was indeed very compatible with him. They were both people with no moral values or very distorted values.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "A0, we should be more peaceful and stop saying such cruel things all the time."
"I'm a good person now, and I have no plans to become bad for the time being."
[Of course, Your Excellency, you have always been peace-loving and a good person.]
[Under your leadership, the Tianjia civilization has prevented countless conflicts. Many civilizations have been able to develop safely only because of the existence of the Tianjia civilization.]
[Without you, there would be no Tianjia civilization. Have you forgotten the many Star Ocean awards you were awarded back then?]
A0's matter-of-fact words made Qi Heng's mouth twitch.
Shut up and stop talking about that dark history.
But he was never thin-skinned enough to feel embarrassed by such flattery. He changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
"In that case, let's put the fusion matter aside for now."
"Produce a plan for treating the male insect's brain, as well as the specific operational procedures for separating the Overlord's mental power that you mentioned. I'll take a closer look at it then."
Separating the Overlord's spiritual power sounded like taking something from one's left hand to another's right hand, and A0 said it simply. But he didn't fight an unprepared battle, so it was better to be fully prepared.
[Yes, Your Excellency.]
[Relevant plans and operation manuals are being generated.]
Qi Heng used the aircraft to connect to the satellite outside Tianyun Star and aimed the satellite at several spaceships that were still outside the No. 2 gathering place.
I don’t have time now. I’ll wait until Ji Lin and the others leave Tianyun Star before trying the method A0 mentioned.
"I almost forgot..."
"Once all the physical examinations are complete, screen the male insects' data to see if they're suitable for this recovery surgery... Make a list of priorities for me."
【receive. 】
…
Outside gathering place No. 2.
The transport ship and the main ship led by Ji Lin were still anchored. Some of the hatches of the transport ship and the main ship were opened, and they were currently receiving supplies from the underground city.
This batch of supplies are all medicines for treating mental disorders. Part of them are transported to the starship where female insects live in case of emergency.
The remaining part transported to the transport ship will be unloaded and distributed to the female insects who remain in the Western Ring Star Belt to take care of the cubs after returning to the Western Ring Star Belt.
The Neverember flagship.
In the medical department, Ji Lin was talking to Jing, and Xia was leaning against the wall next to them.
Jing's personality is the most stable among them, but after hearing his explanation, he is about to explode.
"It's such an important matter. Why don't you go to bed early? I didn't even notice it."
Ji Lin touched his nose and said weakly, "I just discovered it too."
"And I reported it to the Doctor as soon as I discovered it. The timely delivery of the medicine proves that the problem isn't serious."
Jing is older than him and has always treated him as his younger brother.
At this time, there were only three male insects present, so Jing spoke to him in private, not caring whether he had face or not.
Ji Lin accepted this well and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He knew that Jing was also worried about the health of the female insects.
Xia, who was standing by, didn't say anything, but he kept counting the medicines. Without even looking up, he said, "When we get back to the Western Ring Star Belt, we'll have to quickly procure all the medical equipment Your Excellency, Doctor, needs."
"Once the equipment is purchased, everything else can be put aside. First, perform a more detailed mental scan of these female insects."
Jingjing nodded: "Xia, you are right, this matter cannot wait."
Xia glanced at him and said, "Indeed."
"Rin, please send me some information about mental disorders later."
Originally, the Medical Department should have hired doctors with medical experience, but because of their special circumstances, it is not suitable for outsiders to join.
Although they look no different from other anthropomorphic races, they cannot disguise themselves all the time. If outsiders come in and discover their identities, it will be difficult to deal with them.
Fortunately, the female insects are in good physical condition. So far, Xia Hejing, the two people in charge of the medical department, have not encountered any situation that cannot be treated.
After all, minor illnesses and pains can be diagnosed directly with medical equipment and then treated with medication.
For more serious cases, the medical cabin can basically solve them.
Mental disorder may be the first disease they encounter after taking over the medical department that requires them to treat themselves.
"No problem, the information is ready, I can pack it up and send it to you right now."
Jing sighed, "From what you said, the mental disorder of female insects, besides medication, is caused by the mental power of male insects."
"We don't have any of them. After looking at the information, we can only take a look."
"Hopefully, their condition isn't too serious."
If the medicine cannot control the situation, they really don't know where to find male insects that can provide further treatment - the male insects that left Tianyun Star last time were basically in the fleet of Wujin Chamber of Commerce.
Ji Lin's eyes drifted away. "There will be a way. We must trust 'Doctor'."
"Maybe he'll find a way to restore our mental strength someday, and then all this information will come in handy."
Xia Waner smiled and said, "You are right."
Compared with the female insects in the Wujin Chamber of Commerce fleet, the ones who are probably more miserable are the group of female insects that Lu Ze assigned to form a mercenary fleet. Their starship is truly a red spot in the green.
I won’t talk about the fact that there is only one male insect.
It's still a much more vulnerable male insect than Ji Lin.
