Extraordinary Mechanical City

Ren went to the "Kokushin Budokan" as usual, and then went to the library to read books for a while.

In the afternoon, it was time to arrive at the sewer laboratory.

In the past few days of studying, Ren has made rapid progress, and the old man Yirubek has become more and more serious about him.

It seems that he sincerely wants to accept a closed disciple.

"Well, you have mastered the knowledge I taught you yesterday. Today you can practice refining these intermediate materials."

"is teacher."

in the lab.

As usual, Ren completed Irubek's teaching tasks first, and then helped out.

Not to mention, although this laboratory is built in the old sewer, although it is a bit remote, it is really quiet. It is perfect for researchers who are obsessed with research and will not go out for ten days and a half months.

At a certain moment, the door opened with a "click".

Just by hearing the sound of footsteps, Ren knew that it was Carl, the little mechanic, who was coming again.

"Carl, you are here again."

"Well, come here to get the potion for grandpa. Wow, Brother Ren, what did you dissect?"

"[The cecum of the black-backed beast], I want to refine the oil to prepare the burn healing potion."

"Slippery, disgusting"

Carl stuck out his tongue in disgust.

Ren smiled, and calmly scraped off the fat from the lump of bloody intestines.

He probably learned something in the past two days. Carl's grandfather seems to have been paralyzed by poisoning, and needs advanced life medicine to maintain basic vital signs.

But the [Golden Liquid] used now cannot be stored for a long time, so he can only come to the laboratory to get the medicine frequently.

After Carl came in, he raised the newspaper in his hand and shouted to the old spider, "Grandpa Nieto, this is the latest newspaper."

There are also newspapers in this world, but they are not time-sensitive.

And not for public sale, this is a luxury that information merchants provide exclusively to various high-ranking figures.

It only takes ten and a half months to produce one set, and one set is three silver Gnars, which is not cheap.

Irubek was busy observing the experimental samples, he didn't look back, and responded, "Little Carl, did anything interesting happen in today's newspaper?"

"Yes, I have."

Carl looked at the newspaper and read a few headlines.

"Last month, the White Bear Chamber of Commerce of the Sid Empire discovered a new large-scale gold mine in the 'South of Ajax Province'."

"The Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar is going to hold a new steam equipment exhibition in three months, and invite all the lords to watch it."

"Five days ago, the 'Black Skull Phantom Thieves' attacked a warehouse under the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, and the two sides fought fiercely."

"."

Ren also listened attentively.

Recently, he read a lot of humanities and history books in the Central Library, and he is no longer as blind as before to the place names and forces written in the newspaper.

But when he heard the next piece of news, the scalpel in his hand suddenly stopped.

Carl: "Oh, and. The Emperor of the Omar Empire, Spurgen XV, issued a national announcement, announcing the title of Ymir Sprring [Queen Frost Moon], and the establishment of a principality."

The name "Ymir" was very familiar to Ren, because he knew a big guy who happened to be called by this name.

He had just read the surname "Spurgreen" from the history books. It was the surname of the royal family of the Omar Empire.

But when the two words were connected together, he was a little confused.

"No way, big brother Ymir is actually the eldest princess of the Omar Empire?"

There was shock on Ren's face, but he couldn't believe it.

How could a top noble under one person appear on the wasteland with serious injuries and still look so embarrassed?

But if it's not the same person, are there two Ymir among the high nobles of Omar?

Unfortunately, there are only some words in the newspaper and no photos.

However, thinking about it, he pursed his mouth again. Anyway, these characters probably won't meet again, and it doesn't matter who they are.

Not far away, when Irubek heard the news, the work in his hands paused for a rare moment, "Hey, that girl Ymir is actually crowned king? It seems that the reform movement has failed."

He only muttered one sentence, and the old man didn't say anything more.

Omar's political situation, apart from the one or two familiar names, did not interest him much.

Carl took the potion, and Ren saw that he was going to leave, and then he remembered what the barbarian girl had entrusted.

He asked, "Karl, wait a minute. I have a mechanical question I want to ask you."

Carl: "What?"

Ren: "Do you know the origin of the mechanical code 'S11-7-YY567#22'?"

"Hey, this sort of mechanical code is not common. Oh! I remembered, this should be a special code for the Omar military, and civilian use is prohibited."

Carl thought about it and said: "I remember my grandfather told me about this coding method. The first letter represents the level of mechanical products, C-level is special, B-level is dangerous, A-level is legendary, and S-level. It should be 'special grade forbidden object' The number of '11' should be exclusive to the department. If I remember correctly, the numbers of each department of the Omar military are 07-15, and 10 and 11 seem to be the codes of intelligence agencies like Blackwater Taiwan."

Sure enough, a professional mechanic can analyze too much useful information from a simple mechanical code.

Karl just took a look and deciphered the origin of this thing.

"The special mechanical code of the intelligence department of the Omar country?"

When Ren heard it, he also felt that it was reasonable.

When I entered the city before, those mysterious people who had obviously been trained in tracking, people from spy agencies like "Black Water Terrace", were normal.

Carl became interested and asked, "Brother Ren, where did you see this code? It should be a very interesting high-precision machine, and I want to see it too."

Ryan said truthfully: "I also heard about it from a friend. She said it was a code found on a sealed mechanical box."

"Mechanical box? Probably [Mechanical Locket]"

Carl pondered: "It should be something important or dangerous to store."

Ren: "Is there a way to open this mechanical box?"

"Yes, but you must use a special key!"

Carl said with certainty: "My grandfather told me before that he designed that kind of [mechanical secret box]. S-level coding means a highly encrypted mechanical program. If it is a mechanical secret box of that level, it must be special. Made of alloy, it has at least two means of sealing, mechanical and magical. Unless there is an 'exclusive key' that matches the secret box, the designer can't open it, let alone external force."

"oh."

Ren raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.

A professional mechanic like Carl has come to such a conclusion, let alone a layman like him who wants to find other better methods.

The so-called "exclusive key" is probably still in the hands of those mysterious people. I'm afraid the barbarian girl's commission will only disappoint her.

After Carl left, there were only two teachers and apprentices left in the laboratory.

After Ren finished his homework for today, he realized that Irubek was studying a strange mass of meat.

During these few days of getting along, he gradually became familiar with the old man's temper. It looks old-fashioned, but it is not particularly difficult to get along with. At least the old man is strict in teaching him, but it can be seen that he cares about teaching himself.

He walked over and asked curiously: "Teacher, what kind of meat is this? I see that you have put this meat in the culture solution for several days. What are you observing?"

"This is the human tissue that was cut from Bazel before."

Irubek responded: "This is a topic I have been studying for the past few years - the 'feasibility of human beings implanting genetic chains of heterogeneous organisms'. And werewolves are subhumans who have an extra animal gene chain than normal humans. species is the best research object.”

"."

When Ren heard this, he looked at the lump of meat with strange eyes.

It seems that Bazel didn't pay any money for the treatment, but there seemed to be a lot of other costs as well.

However, the theoretical knowledge of biological sciences is already very cutting-edge, and its difficulty and depth far exceed that of ordinary clinical medicine. He still doesn't understand it at his current level.

It is even said that not many people in the medical field can understand it.

But today, Irubek seemed interested in talking more, so he asked, "Ren, do you know what the essence of extraordinary is?"

Ren thought of the records in the classics and replied: "Break through the genetic chain and discover the potential of the human body?"

"It's okay for ordinary people to answer this way, but as a medical student, you should be more rigorous."

Irubek glanced at him, and said: "Humans are born with twenty-four 'dominant gene chains'. The essence of awakening the extraordinary is actually to activate the 'recessive gene chains' hidden in the human gene sequence. Every Breaking through the first level, there will be one more 'dominant gene chain', and the ability will skyrocket by one level. And the 'werewolves' are born with one more dominant gene than ordinary humans, twenty-five!"

Ren vaguely understood, and asked: "Teacher, you mean that your research results will eventually allow ordinary humans to be like werewolves, and to have an extra dominant gene chain without awakening the extraordinary?"

Then, he looked at the eight spider arms behind Irubek, and added: "Also, solve the problem of genetic isolation between heterogeneous organisms?"

"Yes! But more than that."

When Irubek talked about scientific research, there was always a kind of fanaticism for scientific truth in his eyes, and he said: "Even if the research on this subject is successful, we will be able to understand what level of organisms 'Gods' are!"

"God?"

Renn didn't expect that the topic span would be so wide, and it would go from biological science to theology all at once.

"Yes."

Irubek said: "Judging from the records left in ancient literature, the supreme gods have no genetic isolation at all. They can mate with various species and reproduce brand new species. In the mythological period, there were many The powerful existence of half-human and half-beast, such as centaur and Gorgon (Medusa). And those are demigod creatures born from the ** of more powerful gods and beast monsters. They inherit the genes of gods in their bodies, and their strength It is not as good as the previous generation of gods who gave birth to them."

When Ren heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he was not sure what he understood.

At this time, Irubek said again: "So, I speculate that genetics will cause the loss of gene chains, which is also the reason why our modern human bodies are getting weaker and weaker than those in ancient times. My project is to prove this Guessing to find the scientific way for humans to advance to the gods!"

Ren: "Science becomes a god???"

This old man's research path.

I don't know how serious it is!

At this moment, Ryan discovered that in this world with a crooked technological tree, biological science seems to be heading in some strange directions.

"God, maybe it's not as far away as imagined."

Irubek smiled deeply, and his turbid eyes shone brightly.

"The ability to reproduce offspring also shows that gods are also a kind of living beings. They are just higher than what we know. In fact, there are differences in the ranks of gods, and the essence is still in the genetic chain. The higher the gods, the higher the genetic chain. It will be more perfect. This is also in line with the essence of 'modern potion science' breaking through the gene chain and becoming stronger!"

After a pause, he looked at Ren, and said: "Science is advancing. In the past, human beings did not understand. Many things attributed to theology are actually cognitive ignorance. Now we can understand the nature of all things through science. This is the greatest charm of science - knowing the truth!"

"ah"

Ren was stunned when he heard it. He felt that his head had received some strange knowledge again, and he had a little indigestion.

He suddenly felt that the old man seemed to have some deep meaning in what he said today.

If not.

"I've told you so much, but I just want to tell you what is the essence of potion science and what is the direction of future research and development."

After Irubek finished speaking, he said again: "It's a waste of your talent to only learn medicine and potions. So, starting today, I plan to teach you the 'modern potions' that can truly see the truth!"

When the old man spoke, his tone was serious.

Ren felt that the old man seemed serious.
