Steel steam and flame

"The power is too huge, and compared to the huge destructiveness of uranium gold bombs, the continuous harm it causes is a more troublesome problem. It will contaminate things within a huge range with deadly substances, and low-level surgeries cannot Very easy to resist. The Dead Land is the final state of the area covered by the Great God’s Declaration. Apart from relying on time to slowly erode this harm, there seems to be no effective way to eliminate it.” Professor Bruce said, “Of course, it is only personal. Regarding protection issues, Avalon has developed it later. But users still need certain standards."

"I think the changes in my body are caused by the lethal substances after the explosion." Cassia knew that the lethal substances were "germs" and could indeed contaminate all substances. It is possible to eliminate it within a small area, but if the area involved is too large, it can only be classified as a dead area and no man's land.

"That should be the case. Another direction in Avalon's biological research that is different from that of dragons is that it is based on these deadly substances. Although most of them bring us death and other hazards, it's just that surgery has changed this phenomenon. A stronger physique, something that was considered a fantasy during the Kingdom of Manor, is being realized step by step in the research of the Avalon Agency. The lethal substance has almost the same effect as surgery, and can stimulate human evolution, that is, accelerate natural selection. Speed, and again for individuals, does not require an entire species to accumulate."

"But no one doubted the stability and controllability of the operation. Not only did the empire finally choose the operation, but the other two continents also made the same choice. The instability eventually eliminated Avalon's research on lethal substances. It was more than a hundred years ago that it was put back on the agenda.”

"Following the incident after the establishment of the empire, all information about uranium and gold gradually disappeared from people's sight under artificial blockade. In addition, it took such a long time. If Avalon hadn't restarted research, maybe I wouldn't have I know some information about it." Bruce sighed longly, "Now that I talk about it, I am only shocked. The structure of a country cannot be supported by a single person. It is always a complete machine, relying on many structures and parts to make it operate effectively in the long term. We are the replaceable parts, which can be divided into unlimited replacement and limited replacement to a certain extent."

"The difference between important and unimportant." Cassia said, "And the uranium-gold bomb, analysis machine, and dragon surgery are the three most critical structures."

"That's it." Bruce said with a smile. He took the bag and packed the small hexagonal prisms, crumpled them into a ball, and put them in his pocket. "But there are mistakes."

"Wrong? Are there other core components of the empire?"

"There should be some. Not counting now, they only appeared twice. But the results are roughly the same. They are the ones that changed Avalon. As a huge machine, there should be one or two main operators. That's right. Finiteness can be replaced, and even if you don’t own it, this machine can still run, but you will always feel that something is missing.”

"Two knight kings in history?" Cassia reacted.

"Yes, too many things have changed. The most important thing is that the Avalon organization has been changed. I don't know if it is lucky or not." Professor Bruce showed a thoughtful look, "With your identity, you probably know about the empire's third order. It’s about the first and second generation knight kings.”

Seeing Cassia nodding, Bruce continued: "Avalon has always regarded itself as the scabbard of the King of Knights, playing the role of protection and support. It has been since the early days of the empire. It was in the process of experimenting and being experimented. The strong relationship established. The situation at that time was similar to ours now. You probably couldn't understand the mood of scientists and researchers, just like ordinary people couldn't talk about surgery together."

"The empire has always said that the first generation of Knight King Grote died in the war. In fact, the situation is generally the same, but the last shot was fired by the empire itself. The bullet was a uranium-gold bullet. So far, except for the first Apart from the second category of creatures that can pose a threat to the King of Knights, the only thing that can pose a threat is uranium gold bullets. That’s why it’s dramatic. As the scabbard and protector of the King of Knights, he ultimately killed the person he was protecting because of the weapons he made. Then This mood will definitely not be pleasant. After almost breaking up, Avalon later recovered the stray uranium gold bombs by various means and added password restrictions. It should be the upgraded detonation device. As I said, the uranium gold bombs are just It’s just a raw material, and many steps are needed to release the huge energy in it.”

"It's like a thimble for a firearm, and the password restriction is the safety bolt."

"Probably, that's all I know." Bruce looked at the time and said, "In short, too many things have happened in the empire since its growth. But the death of the two generations of knight kings is always important no matter when. The turning point. Regardless of ordinary people and surgeons, I think the reason why humans are humans and can call other species animals is inseparable from many reasons. The empire is not a group of animals, and powerful individuals appear in it. It is lucky and happy for animal groups, which can provide protection for a long time and expand the group. But in the empire supported by humans, there is no way to talk about luck and happiness. After all, our emotions are too rich and our brains are functioning It’s fast, so I think too much. It will only be seen as danger and things that disrupt the balance. Even the slightest threat is not allowed."

"Since you can't make a breakthrough and move forward, then try to keep the status quo from being destroyed, no matter which method. As long as it is not destroyed by your own hands. As for breakthrough growth, that is a matter for the future. But at that time I They are all dead, so they have nothing to do with me." Cassia said, her tone rising and falling, making Bruce laugh.

"From one perspective, it's very vivid." Bruce replied, "But the people at the top of the pyramid also played a big role in the empire being able to reach this point. Their contribution must be part of it. From very early on, right and wrong have never been the same. There is no way to judge. Everyone is surrounding this machine, some are running it, some are responsible for maintenance..., I think there must be an optimal solution among them."

"But many times the optimal solution is not chosen. Hundreds of years later, the second generation of Knight Kings appeared. The empire, which had lost the power to use uranium gold bombs, still found another way to eliminate the threat. In the form of agreements and employment, the empire The left prime minister got in touch with the giant countries on the right prime minister's continent. You probably know that in those two countries, the highest power of the knight king class has been continuous without interruption. This is how the second generation of knight kings were jointly killed , I can’t talk about the dramatic scene anymore, I don’t know how to describe it, I always feel that something is wrong, and it has always been like this when I think about it. It was also from that time that the Avalon Agency moved out of the empire and went to a lovely place. A moving island.”

Cassia was silent. The ending of two generations of knight kings reminded him of Noel. At some point before the war, Cassia seemed to foresee that the same scene would happen again. The course of history seems to have never changed. It has always been running at a constant speed on a smooth circle like a steel wheel. He knew that he urgently needed a more stable environment to grow up. Bruce sighed several times before relaxing his mood.

"It's meaningless to talk about this now." His eyes became serious and formal, and Bruce looked at Cassia, "I don't believe that you have the technology to turn uranium gold into uranium gold bullets, but it is possible for the Quartet. What you have in your hands I don’t want to know how many there are, but please agree to my request and never give this thing to anyone else except you. The empire is too huge. Once it collapses from the inside, no one can imagine what will happen at that time. You can I think my thinking is wrong, but from a different perspective, what you just said can be universal, in part.”

Patting his pockets, Bruce looked nervous. "I'll return it to you soon." He nodded solemnly.

"I will comply with your request." Cassia promised and changed the subject. "Besides this matter and the physical examination, Professor Bruce, I have another request that I need you to keep secret."

Casting a confused look, Bruce waited for further words.

"I want to perform heart transfer surgery." Cassia said, pointing to the right side of her chest, "Please also change the corresponding blood vessel positions."

"Technically, our group of professors have no problem at all. Prepare the equipment and use your own self-healing ability to complete it in a short time without being noticed." Bruce replied, "But I want to , the enemies you are facing now will not be polite to a corpse. Moreover, their mood should be the same as ours, looking forward to dissecting you bit by bit on the operating table."

After a second or two, Professor Bruce realized that he had missed something and corrected himself: "Of course, we won't do anything unnecessary to you when we perform the heart transfer surgery on you, so don't worry about that. I still have credibility guaranteed.”

"Then what are you doing for?" Bruce asked continuously, "The position of the heart and blood vessels has been verified by time, and the changes will definitely have an impact on the body in the short term."

"In order to prevent more people from being implicated, I want to create a false impression and create an alibi for some people. For the rest, I should be able to help after death."
