40,000 Years of Cultivation

shell!

Li Yao was in a cold sweat, recalling what Professor Mo Xuan had said to him in the "spiritual world".

"In the future human civilization, the soul is the only one, and the so-called body, whether it is a flesh and blood body that mainly cultivates psychic energy, a demon body that takes the route of genetic enhancement, or a battle puppet made of steel and iron. It's all okay—they are all'shells', things that can be replaced and discarded at will!"

"Don't you think that things like ‘vegetables’ are the best candidates for pure nature?"

Long Yangjun stared at the far corner-although the "vegetable" who just jumped out of the medical cabin escaped from them, he did not run away, but hid in the far corner, shivering while shaking. Poke out half of his head to spy on them, alive a beast that acts on instinct.

"A clear-headed human has three souls and seven souls. Even ordinary people who have no power to bind the chickens have a deep entanglement between the soul and the brain, and they can't easily win the house."

Long Yangjun said, "Even a monk with a pill formation or even a Nascent Infant grade, who wants to seize a healthy ordinary person, will have to spend a lot of time, have a very high failure rate, and even be swallowed by the other party-this is The mystery and danger of Divine Soul.

"But if it is a frail and sick person, or even a strong stimulation, a person with insufficiency of three souls and seven souls, the difficulty of seizing the house will be greatly reduced. This is the reason to seize an idiot.

"If you are a vegetable, you don't have one soul, seven souls, ten souls, and your brain is simply empty. It is a better target than an idiot.

"Through the screening of astronomical medical expenses, the patients who are eligible to stay here were high-ranking monks before they were unconscious, and their blood vessels are extremely powerful. Some people have long developed a'second brain' or golden core at the end of their tail vertebrae. Needless to say, the degree of physical tyranny.

"Moreover, these vegetatives have been sent here for treatment for some years. Professor Mo Xuan and Lei Yuqin can completely concoct their brains in secret and make them into a'container' more suitable for being seized, or press Professor Mo Xuan. In the words of-battle shell!

"and so--"

Long Yangjun looked around, "In the upper ward, all the patients did not move, because they are management-type and research-type cultivators, and their bodies are not very strong, and they are not suitable for being made into a'battle shell', but The combat cultivators who originally lived here have all their bodies gone. We saw those'lifeless' gardeners outside, it should be them."

"Yes."

Li Yao quickly knocked on several crystal brains that were not destroyed, and murmured, "They are the craziest warriors, and many of them are battle heroes in the Celestial Ring War, otherwise they would not break through again and again. To the limit, cultivate oneself to the point where it becomes a madness, the brain collapses and becomes a vegetative person.

"Although they have fallen into a coma, they have been receiving special treatments here for so many years. Through bioelectrical stimulation and the infusion of psychic nutrient solutions, their body functions are still maintained at a fairly strong level. It is indeed the best'battle shell'!

"However, there is a problem. The so-called'seizure of homes' is a one-to-one relationship, that is, a new spirit will occupy their bodies. Judging from the strength that these people have just shown, their spirits are also very powerful. Even if it is a ghost repair, they are all super ghost repairs above the level-Professor Lei Yuqin and Mo Xuan, it is possible to secretly recruit so many ghost repair masters, but it does not arouse the suspicion of the relevant departments?"

"I don't know that."

Long Yangjun frowned, "Compared with this question, I think another question is more urgent. Preliminary estimates are that there are tens of thousands of vegetative people who receive long-term treatment at the Deep Blue Chao Nao Hospital, and among them, there are at least combat-type cultivators. Two or three thousand, most of them are now gone, and we have just touched and killed at most dozens.

"Then, two or three thousand minus dozens, where did the remaining two thousand'battle shells' go?"

Li Yao and Long Yangjun glanced at each other, and they were both deeply pierced by their eyes condensed into ice cones.

Long Yangjun gave a wry smile and continued: "It seems that your teacher is not a polished commander. In the words of our ancient sage world, he is very likely to have a team of two or three thousand high-level combat cultivators in his hands. 'Long Ghost Army'."

Li Yao bit his lip deeply, without saying a word, came to the remains of the master crystal brain that they had just swept into a hornet's nest, carefully distinguished the sparking crystal wires and optical cables, and even clenched them with both hands. After breaking the broken crystal cable, Divine Mind rushed along the crystal cable, extending to the depths of the earth.

"There are still things underground, and there are super crystal brains that are more powerful and consume more psychic energy. I can perceive strong psychic energy fluctuations!"

Li Yao ran away, "Come with me. This is the ward. It is usually open to the patient's family. It is temporarily transformed into this way. The real secrets of Lei Yuqin and Professor Mo Xuan must be hidden deeper!"

The two raced against time, swiftly turning, and walked all the way down.

On the road, I passed several large wards. All the medical cabins in them were empty, but there was no sign of violence breaking open.

It seems that when these "battle shells" were "awakened", they were in an orderly and highly controlled state, and then they were transferred to an unknown place.

The two did not encounter too strong resistance along the way, and even a few secret passages and a few hidden doors were found effortlessly. The door of a secret lifting platform opened directly, as if someone had just used it on the ground. It was full of scattered papers, broken jade slips and broken crystal brains, a mess.

Such a chaotic and embarrassing scene made the two of them both happy and worried. The happy thing is that they will soon be able to go straight to the nest, and the worry is that Professor Mo Xuan may have left here-with two or three thousand terrible "spirit ghost army" ".

This is why the defense is so weak here.

"Whizzing!"

The two followed the vertical passage of the lifting platform and reached the core area of ​​the Deep Blue Chao Nao Hospital.

Within the passage, there are naturally a large number of defensive talisman formations, but under the joint resistance of the two Nascent Soul Peak cultivators, none of them are worth mentioning.

At the bottom of the passage, what appeared in front of the two of them was a superalloy gate reinforced by hundreds of strong steel bars. The surface was also engraved with an intricate array of defensive symbols. Arcs lingered on it, crackling and bursting with lethal blue. Mang - but it only took Li Yao five more minutes.

Five minutes later, the broken and twisted steel bars were scattered on the ground, all the defensive talisman formations were dim, and the gate was abruptly pulled into a shocking gap by the two Yuan Ying bosses.

Behind the gate is a laboratory soaked in blue light.

There was no one in the laboratory, but there were several psychic prostheses that had lost their souls scattered on the ground, like metal skeletons deprived of mana.

There are also some psychic prostheses that sit directly in front of the crystal brain and the console. Their heads are connected to the large crystal brain through crystal wires. The light curtain in front of them is still flashing with spots and ripples, but the metal heads are all tilted to one side. Obviously, the spirit hidden in the psychic prosthetic body was either completely annihilated or escaped in some way.

Li Yao has never seen such a weird laboratory. Even wearing a thick crystal armor and mustard combat suit, he still feels a puff of cold air invading his flesh, bones, and internal organs like invisible tentacles, and he feels it. The gloomy meaning from the heart.

Surrounded by many psychic prostheses, the main area of ​​the laboratory is a pair of transparent glass panels suspended in mid-air, and each glass panel is engraved with something similar to a giant walnut.

They walked very hastily, and the patterns inside the glass plates were still squirming, changing, and shining.

Li Yao watched for a long time before he understood what these "huge walnuts" were.

It's... a cross-sectional view of the human brain.

Inside each transparent glass plate, a cross-sectional view of the active area of ​​the human brain is displayed. The superimposition of hundreds of transparent glass plates is like cutting a human brain into hundreds or thousands of pieces. Tens of thousands of films, only a few hundred representative ones were intercepted for research.

"This is a brain laboratory."

Li Yao took a deep breath, walked to the crystal brain that the opponent had no time to close, and quickly searched, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "This is not a real brain slice, but after the experimenter used a special mysterious light to scan the brain layer by layer. For modeling, the scan level is at least molecular..."

"Old Mo Li, come and see this!"

Long Yangjun shouted.

When Li Yao looked in the past, he saw that in several transparent cubes, there were more than a hundred pairs of psychic-powered mechanical arms, which were trembling rapidly. Their tips were thinner than a hair, from a very thin hollow needle. Some flexible materials of unknown material were sprayed out in the middle, crisscrossing, gathering sand into towers, and gradually outlined into a ravine, crisscross, walnut kernel shape thing.

That is the brain.

A brain that is three times larger than a normal human brain.

The "brains" in a few transparent cubes have just begun to be outlined, and the cerebrovascular and cranial nerves have just constructed an extremely precise framework.

But there are also a few "brains" in the transparent cubes that are almost complete, showing a delicate luster, giving people a "lively" feeling.

"This, this is some kind of magic weapon for 3D printing."

Li Yao quickly knocked on the crystal brain light curtain next to him, and took out a copy of the printed log, saying, "It has extremely high precision, and it can easily reach molecular levels, and even more subtle areas."

"and so--"

Long Yangjun was silent for a moment, and then glanced at the cross-sectional view of the brain hanging high in the air, "Are they copying the human brain here?"

"No, it's crazier than that."

Li Yao flipped through the printed logs. The experimental parameters above made his pupils constrict. "They are studying here... how to merge the superior areas of the brains of the strong to create a better-than-human The top power in China, a more powerful'virtual brain'!"
