Chapter 30: Failure to ascend to immortality



"No!" Qian Lei was anxious and objected loudly, which was a bit inappropriate.

Wang Xuan was also stunned. There is actually such an experiment?

"In Nova, this type of technology has been accumulated to a certain extent. From the perspective of us researchers, all humans are actually no different from robots, except that we are more delicate. The human brain's thinking activities are just a set of complex programs that can be replicated in theory."

Qian Lei said in a deep voice: "The experimental project you mentioned should be suspended. We can't do this."

Then he asked, "Who is the volunteer?" He felt that ordinary people would never have this opportunity. This person wanted to use the female alchemist's body to revive and live forever for hundreds of years.

"It's Ms. Zheng, the founder of our Origin of Life Research Institute." Zhou Yu calmly informed that 60% of the funds for building this underground experimental field came from Ms. Zheng.

Qian Lei said: "Since we want to cooperate, we need to discuss the most reliable plan. Your experiment is too risky and should not be carried out at this stage."

"In fact, I personally do not agree with reviving another person's thoughts and memories in her. I prefer the latter option, which is to fully dissect the female alchemist and use the most advanced life instruments on Nova to record and decipher her body's genetic information. Essentially, we can fully analyze and compile the microscopic structure of this person who has broken the ceiling of human life..."

Wang Xuan was speechless after hearing this and mourned for the female alchemist. She had been dead for thousands of years but still could not rest in peace. She had her blood often drawn and now she was going to be dissected.

Qian Lei was shocked that this quiet woman was so crazy. He quickly said, "Don't act rashly. Some experiments must be shelved until our plan comes out. Since we want to cooperate, we naturally need to win together."

"This kind of bamboo contains supernatural power and is very active. After we extracted it, we found that the life factor it contains is no less than that of the female alchemist's body."

When talking about the thick bamboo that was made into a small boat, female researcher Zhou Yu became excited again.

After hearing this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask a researcher nearby, "Are there no bamboo slips or other discoveries in this underground cave? It's impossible that such a powerful female alchemist didn't leave behind other things, right?"

The researcher shook his head and said, "No, when we came in, this underground cave seemed to have experienced a huge explosion. Many places were charred black, and the bamboo slips were all turned to ashes."

After hearing the scene he described, whether it was Qingmu, the two masters of the Jiutu military, or Qian Lei, who was already very powerful, their expressions were extremely serious.

Qing Mu said in a deep voice: "From what you said, this is very similar to what was recorded in the bamboo slips left by other alchemists in the pre-Qin period."

"That's right." The expert from the Old Earth military nodded and said, "This is very much like the description of a failed metamorphosis with a huge explosion."

There has been constant debate in later generations about the concept of ascension. Some people believe that to take that path is to burn oneself with the help of supernatural power when one knows that one is going to die.

Some people also believe that metamorphosis is a manifestation of impending ascension to heaven, which pushes the level of life to the extreme and enables one to truly achieve immortality.

Unfortunately, over the long years, no one has been able to demonstrate success, and all the people involved in metamorphosis were confirmed dead when they were discovered.

Even the "archaeological team" sent by the new star's chaebol once dug up the human-shaped ashes of such a person in the old soil. His death was not very dignified.

The woman in front of him had been mentioned in other pre-Qin bamboo slips. She was considered to be the most powerful among the alchemists and aspired to become an immortal. Naturally, she had to take the path of immortality.

Sadly, it now seemed that she had also failed, which would explain why she died when her body still had a long lifespan.

From the perspective of scientific testing, no injuries were found and the cause of death is unknown.

But from the perspective of the old techniques, her spiritual will was shattered and completely destroyed at that time. It is impossible for such a person to come back to life.

Wang Xuan listened in fascination. Another failed case of ascending to heaven!
