Steel steam and flame

After resting for less than three or four hours, there was a faint light outside, and Cassia returned to the military school with a small section of the hexagonal prism cut off. I thought a lot last night, and I always knew that continuing the current situation would only make the situation worse, and it would not get any better with the buffer of time. I have worked hard for this before, but it didn’t seem to be enough. Looking at it more than a year now, Cassia feels that she still lacks a lot of things. Part of the reason was his birth, and some of the things he experienced did make him change a lot, but in essence, it seemed too solid.

With preliminary plans, Cassia originally planned to go directly to the military headquarters after leaving the military school, which might become his next long-term destination. Only recent circumstances have changed this idea.

"My personality is not suitable for a place with complicated relationships like that." Cassia thought after changing clothes in the dormitory and on the way to the biological experiment building. "It is probably more suitable for alone and more secretive activities. I am more inclined to mix. A category that you can no longer find among the crowd.”

The old professors were very happy to see Cassia coming over. During the conversation, Cassia was pushed into the laboratory. Amidst the sound of rubber rollers rolling on the ground, a set of collection trolleys specially prepared for him were also pulled in. laboratory.

"It feels like you have gone through a lot of changes." Professor Bruce's eyes looked particularly bright at this time, looking at Cassia's naked upper body as if appreciating a work of art, "But don't worry, we are always open to you here and provide free body for life. Inspection service. I know you have confidence in our technology and experience, and the analysis will definitely be in place." His face became much more serious, but what Cassia could see from above was only the excitement and satisfaction of meeting the prey he wanted. . The work of the military school is indeed a bit monotonous for this group of retired old professors.

The various sensor tools of the detection machine were attached to Cassia's body one after another, and blood drawing was also carried out at the same time. The syringe is much larger than last time. The extraction process was not smooth, and the old professors still did not expect the extent of Cassia's changes in a short period of time. Blood that is as viscous as liquid metal cannot be sucked out using ordinary blood drawing methods. The blood vessels that became tougher accordingly also made the old professors give up the idea of ​​drawing blood after pricking several needle points. And the slight corrosion on the needles also prompted them to prepare more advanced gloves and equipment.

"You are going to stay here for a few hours. I have notified the logistics department to temporarily order a few higher specification syringes. Now let's do the basic testing." Bruce said using a scalpel to cut open Cassia's skin. When a little drop of blood emerged, the wound was already tightly closed due to the instinctive compression of the muscles, and then a line of pale pink blood scab began to form.

"For some reasons, the self-healing ability has been greatly enhanced." Cassia explained, "I don't know if the change in blood viscosity is a good thing. I think there must be a range of standards applicable to the surgeon. In order to make these The blood flows and the burden on the heart increases a lot.”

"You have to wait until the test results come out before you can draw a conclusion. You know that your physique is different from other students. There are standards, but they are definitely not suitable for you." Professor Bruce recorded the time it took for the wound to fully heal. This is also valid data. one. After thinking for a while, Professor Bruce recalled in his mind whether the same situation had happened before. As the stage of surgery increases, the self-healing ability will become stronger accordingly. In his memory, Cassia's current self-healing effect should not be so powerful. It is roughly equivalent to that of a fourth-stage surgeon, and it is only after the ability has been specially strengthened that such a phenomenon can occur. Self-healing ability is mostly related to the activity of the body and the energy substances in the blood. One side plays a supporting role, and the other side is a general representation.

In previous research, Bruce remembered other situations that had occurred. One was developed through self-healing surgical projects, while the other was something he encountered while still at the Avalon Institution. That is another research direction in biological research, which can be almost separated from the study of dragon tissues. Until he left the Avalon Agency, it was still in the experimental stage and had not been actually used. Because it is too uncontrollable, the operator's extremely strong control ability cannot have much effective impact.

The observation of the testing machine ended after three hours. While waiting for the special syringe to arrive, Cassia found the opportunity to stay alone with Professor Bruce in the laboratory.

"The other people will not disclose all the data about you, so don't worry about this." Seeing Cassia's thoughts, Bruce said with a smile, "Of course, there is another situation. Maybe some The matter is too involved, are you afraid that a few of them will be implicated?"

"Maybe it's possible, I want to seek your answer for some things." Cassia showed a smile on her face, "A lot of things have happened in the past few months, and so have the changes in the body. Maybe they are all related to the same thing. .”

Cassia took out the cut hexagonal prism fragments: "It seems to be an energy substance, and the blood gradually becomes quite corrosive only after contact with it. At the stage of the operation, I can determine that it has been achieved The middle stage of the second stage also has a lot to do with it.”

"Energy substance?" Bruce put on his gloves, held the hexagonal prism in front of his eyes and looked at it, then turned on the light and observed carefully, "It seems to have been used, but the utilization rate is not very high." Cassia knew that Professor Bruce I saw the fine pits all over it.

Then a look of shock flashed across his face, and the confusion on his face became serious as Bruce's memory gradually recovered. Turning off the lamp, Bruce held the hexagonal prism in his hand and stared into Cassia's eyes. Bruce didn't speak immediately, as he was thinking about any possibility inside. Cassia waited quietly for the answer.

"I should know what it is, but I need some corresponding experiments to confirm it. But except for the Avalon Agency, no other agency in the empire has this kind of machine. As for secretly, is there something to prevent it among the four forces? , I have always kept my own opinions."

"I hope no third person knows about this except you and me. After all, as long as there is a slight possibility, there will be no other possibility except danger. You once had solid red mercury in your hand, In a defensive environment like a military school, some people will still break in. You have experienced it yourself, so it is not difficult to understand what I mean."

Cassia also answered formally: "I know, but I think, now that I have been in contact with this kind of thing, it may be safer for me to know its true identity."

"Your words indeed have no refutation, and even if I advise you to throw him away, you probably won't follow my words." Bruce saw clearly, and he could more or less understand Cassia's identity from the checked data and information. He guessed something from his attitude, "I did come into contact with this kind of thing when I was still in the Avalon Agency. But I didn't go into it deeply. I only knew a little bit about the surface. People who are qualified to come into contact with it must either have the corresponding extraordinary ability." Knowledge, or a very smart mind. You have to know that every scientist in the Avalon Agency is a genius in every aspect. Among those geniuses, I can only be considered very ordinary."

"It is indeed an energy substance. In the empire, as far as you know, among the energy sources, apart from coal, which has long been eliminated, there are various types of neutron tubes that are the most widely utilized. And the scientific name of 'red mercury' is that you It’s familiar. It is also a branch of research derived from dragon biology. The energy is larger, and more importantly, under certain conditions, red mercury, an energy substance, can be actively absorbed by the surgeon himself. This is also the case in The reason why the top research institutions in the three continents jointly developed solid red mercury, but then tacitly sealed the technology completely. I don’t know the supervision situation in other continents, but the Avalon Agency of the Empire has always maintained supervision on it. Tough attitude.”

"Actually, here, regardless of the cognition of ordinary people, even the surgeons, in the eyes of most people, the solid structure of red mercury is the pinnacle of energy materials. But just like the difference engine and the analytical engine, ordinary people's lifetime It is impossible for them to have access to the super analysis machine. Most of us have no access to this thing." Bruce spread his hands, "The empire was successfully established on the Houxiang Continent because the two countries on the Zuoxiang Continent and Youxiang Continent The biggest reason for the disputes among giant countries and its subsequent steady growth is still due to this thing."

"As for the changes in your body in the past few months, I think most of the reasons have been found. This branch of research has been ongoing in the Avalon Institution."
