In the low-temperature cabin made of pre-effect glass, the temperature inside the cabin read by Norma is dropping rapidly. Researchers wearing white lab coats outside the cabin carefully control the non-metallic robotic arm so that the brass tank is only suspended on the quartz glass in the center of the cabin.
Inside the cover.
"Dragon King Norton was captured successfully."
Outside the cryogenic chamber, someone among the researchers whispered, as if a thousand-year curse had been broken, and as if fireworks were lit for the first time in the dark, starless night sky. Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and brilliance, and they turned to look
to the person speaking.
The one who spoke was naturally Angers. Even if he was wearing a lab coat, this old guy was so unique. There were always recognizable representative items on his body. For example, at this historic moment, he was holding the right hand in his hand.
A bottle of champagne.
He opened the package and unscrewed the wire on the cork. Due to environmental factors, he could not bring a metal champagne knife in, so he picked up a champagne glass and placed it on the smooth curved neck of the champagne bottle, sliding along the curve.
With a crisp "pop" sound, the cork bounced off and fell into the arms of a researcher.
"For hundreds of years, research on dragon genes, alchemy techniques and spirit spirits has allowed us to learn more about the civilization, habits and history of dragons. But so far, we have not been able to obtain a 'perfect' specimen. Dragon
Living bodies and complete skeletons are too difficult to obtain, and the only living bodies captured are undeveloped cubs, so the research value is limited."
Angers poured the yellow liquid on the champagne tower that had been built long ago, and each champagne glass began to be filled. The researchers went to take down their own wine glasses in high spirits. The principal lacked enthusiasm but was meaningful.
He toasted with extraordinary congratulations, "Today is a historic day. Let us witness the miracle in the history of science. We will dissect the Dragon King!"
There was thunderous applause, and everyone seemed to be cheering, but the bulky lab coats could not allow them to make such big movements, so they could only express their enthusiasm and excitement with ever-increasing applause.
The dissection of Dragon King is definitely a far greater sensation in the hybrid world than when Humphreys released the footage of an alien anatomy in 1995, which caused a sensation all over the world. If what they are going to do tonight is exposed, it will definitely cause a sensation.
The level will reach a higher level, and the dragon world that still exists in the shadow will become restless.
"Is the thing in the brass tank a living thing?" A researcher raised his hand.
"It's not certain, but there is a high probability that the brass jar was cast around AD 33, nearly two thousand years ago. If the 'egg' in the brass jar is alive, it means that it has been sleeping for two thousand years.
Its owner was once Gongsun Shu who became emperor in Jianyuan, Sichuan, a true emperor."
"Do we have an example to prove the conjecture that the emperor of ancient China was the dragon king?" the researcher exclaimed. If this is true, then the direction of excavation of mixed-race dragon tombs will undergo earth-shaking changes in the next hundred years. In the future, a large number of dragons will
All archaeologists will join the national archaeological agency to conduct in-depth exploration of some emperors' tombs that have not yet been excavated or have been excavated. Even the tombs of monarchs in six other foreign continents will also be led to excavate one by one.
What awaits the world is an archaeological feast!
Angers stared at the copper pot suspended in the superconducting magnetic field and said, "The owner of the copper pot is indeed Gongsun Shu, but we personally believe that its real owner is Gongsun Shu's minister Li Xiong. This man persuaded Gongsun Shu to proclaim himself emperor, and
He showed Gongsun Shu the miracle of "Dragon Leaving the Palace". As for why the brass jar once belonged to Gongsun Shu, at least all the alchemical materials needed to make the brass jar were through the violence of Gongsun Shu, who was powerful in the interior of Sichuan at that time.
We took it, scraped it three feet from the ground, and handed it over to Gongsun Shu to make the brass jar in front of us."
"Would Gongsun Shu risk his reputation as a tyrant for the sake of a minister?" Someone questioned.
"As long as this minister makes him believe that this brass jar is prepared for him." Ange said lightly, "What really made Gongsun Shu want to become emperor was never the miracle of 'the dragon leaving the palace', but
Li Xiong promised Gongsun Shu another miracle, a miracle that no one could refuse in ancient times. This miracle is called 'eternal life'."
All the researchers were slightly awe-struck, and Ange nodded and said, "No emperor wants to live forever. Thirty years of prosperity in the world are fleeting. What's more, the proposal of Emperor Li Xiong, whose hand was covering most of the fireworks in the world, made Gongsun Shu unable to refuse. Then,
It was the ultimate that even one emperor throughout the ages had not reached in historical records, so Gongsun Shu was persuaded to proclaim himself the emperor of Shu, the country was named Chengjia, and the reign was named Longxing."
"But it was 'Li Xiong' who survived in the end, not 'Gongsun Shu'. This brass jar was not built for the emperor's immortality from the beginning." The researcher who originally asked the question whispered, "It can 'cocoon'
Only pure-blooded dragons can be transformed, and this brass jar has determined its own owner from the beginning."
"Is the brass can safe? Our world-leading technology cannot scan through its outer shell to obtain the conditions inside." Someone raised their hands.
"Safe, as long as he is kept in a low temperature and a metal-free and heat-free space, he will always be safe." Angers nodded, "The brass tank itself is not a 'copper' metal, but something that cannot be analyzed by human alchemy.
The alchemy materials and the "cocoon" material that sealed the Dragon King cannot have the conditions to awaken him, otherwise it would be like trying to sleep forever on a pile of adrenaline."
"How to break open the brass can for observation and dissection? Without the use of metal and high-temperature lasers, it would be difficult for us to operate on this big thing."
"We obtained an alchemical liquid called 'grey tin solution' from an ancient Egyptian tomb. Its original function was roughly used to open the key to the golden coffin of the Pharaoh, and the true identity of that Pharaoh was also a noble descendant.
The golden coffin was his cocoon, and the 'grey tin solution' was the key he left to the descendants of the dynasty to wake him up. But unfortunately, he was overconfident in the dynasty he ruled, and was the first to find the key.
The people of 'Cocoon' defeated us who were his remaining tomb robbers locally, so it was natural for him to be destroyed," Angers said.
"The 'grey tin solution' to this type of alchemical material is like strong sulfuric acid to human skin. It can destroy the alchemical matrix on it. At that time, the 'seal' effect will be broken. Once there are any elements around that are suitable for the creatures in the tank,
, it will recover in a short period of time." Angers paused, "But we don't have to worry about this happening because we have now found a way to replicate the alchemical matrix on the brass jar."
The 'cocooning' of the Dragon King has always been a secret among secrets. It is precisely because of the 'cocooning' that the immortality of dragons has become a dogma for hybrids to slay dragons. Every surviving pure-blood dragon will be remembered in history.
There are spans of hundreds or even thousands of years, but this does not mean that they have actually walked such a long distance in history. The time span of thousands of years is actually quite watery. One spans an entire thousand years.
The next generation of history, he really left his footprints on the earth, and the history that can be studied is only more than a hundred years, and for the remaining nine-tenths of the time, he was asleep, and the way of sleeping was also 'cocooning'.
"Through the guidance of Professor Emeritus Flamel, our eternal master friend in alchemy, he has seen all the dragon's 'cocoons' that have ever been found at the Kassel Academy, in the form of images, in the form of photographs,
Or in terms of field investigation, he has seen the most cocoons among mixed species, and it is even more remarkable that he can see these cocoons and survive." Angers smiled and praised the inside of the bell tower.
friends, which made all researchers who originally had stereotypes about being a lazy and lazy vice-principal stand in awe.
But if Ange said the second half of the sentence, "After seeing 'Cocoon', he immediately ran away and never participated in the dragon-slaying battlefield." Probably the respect that these researchers had originally raised would collapse again, and the vice-principal knew it.
I guess they will argue with reason. Can the alchemist's withdrawal from the front line be called a deserter? That allows scientific talents to enjoy the right to withdraw from the front line! This has been the case throughout the ages!
"Our dear vice-principal pointed out that all dragon's 'cocoons' are made by superb alchemy. The alchemical materials produced from the 'cocoon' itself involve the 'Treasure of Andvari' and 'Icarus'.
'Wax', 'Ironir of Arienil', 'Inverted Crescent', etc. are also extremely rare materials for dragons."
A researcher who is knowledgeable in alchemy subjects immediately pointed out, "Most of the materials are related to 'fire'!"
"No, to be precise, it has to do with 'fire resistance'." Angers said lightly, "The alchemy materials needed to make a 'cocoon' similar to a brass jar are extremely fire-resistant."
"It's extremely high temperature in the brass tank?" The researcher was stunned for a moment. If Angers or the vice-principal's speculation was correct, wouldn't it mean that they believed that the dragon's 'cocoon' was always hot?
Hell? After all, the materials are made of refractory materials. Most alchemy swords are mixed with these materials to prevent them from deforming due to the vibration and heat generated by the clash of gold and iron in fierce battles.
"Have you ever read the 'Jade Record'?" Ange looked at the brass jar and asked in a low voice, "The top is the bottom, and the bottom is the top. This is the opportunity to achieve Taiyi. 'The same as the bottom' is always 'Jade Jade'"
Record', as well as the core theory of alchemy, this principle will naturally be perfectly confirmed in the ultimate alchemy, the dragon's 'cocoon'."
【Ascending from the earth to heaven, and descending from heaven, it acquires the power above and below.
The bottom is like the top, the top is like the bottom, and in this way the miracle of the One is accomplished.
All things are originally One, and are created from One through differentiation.
In this way, you can gain the glory of the world and stay away from darkness and ignorance.
The sun is the father and the moon is the mother, conceived by the wind and nurtured by the earth.
Divide earth from fire, extract essence from roughness, and proceed with caution.
The source of all perfection in the world is here; its power is most perfect on earth.
This is the power of all strength, breaking down the strong and tough.
This is how the world is created, and miracles can be achieved by this.】
"It's cold-resistant. The temperature inside the 'cocoon' is extremely cold, not extremely hot!" The researcher seemed to have figured out something and shuddered. He looked at the brass tank in the cryogenic chamber and was in disbelief.
The ground whispered, "Biological freezing technology that existed thousands of years ago?!"
"If you understand Jade Record, you have understood half of alchemy." Angers said calmly, "The other half must be made up for by practice. Modern cryonics technology has indeed deciphered 'immortality' to a certain extent."
But we have only solved half of the problem so far, that is, theoretical knowledge, and practice is forced to stop at the damage of freezing to the human brain and the death of various life molecules at low temperatures without oxygen."
"But the Dragon Clan took another step thousands of years before us, that is, they implemented this technology and allowed their tribe to live as long as the earth and the sky." Angers said, "They control the soul.
'The secret, or the secret of 'consciousness', the brain can be frozen to death, but not in 'consciousness', so the dragon technology of 'cocoon' can be perfectly implemented, allowing this ethnic group to gain true immortality!"
"'Consciousness Uploading Technology'?" A researcher who is proficient in artificial intelligence and human brain research had a very exciting expression. "Consciousness uploading plus biological freezing technology is immortality? Then why don't they just upload their consciousness to a system composed of 0,1
on the computer?"
Angers paused slightly and looked at the researcher who asked the question, "The invention of the computer was completed in modern times. At least ten years ago, the Internet was not widely popularized. It may still be a bit difficult for those nobles to want dragons to create the Internet thousands of years ago.
The learned exist."
The researcher was stunned by this statement for a moment, and then realized that he had asked a stupid question.
Angers shook his head and said, "Not only the 'soul' and 'freezing' technology, we even suspect that the dragons also control the biological refining technology, which is to cultivate an independent carrier based on its own cells, but without its own consciousness.
, and then freeze this carrier in the 'cocoon', and when one day the time is right, when his 'consciousness' is transferred into the carrier, it is the so-called 'resurrection'."
"The alchemical matrix reverses the basic nature of matter. The ultimate high temperature resistance is the ultimate low temperature resistance. The space inside the brass tank was determined by Professor Flamel as 'absolute zero', which is the lowest temperature of thermodynamics, -273.15℃
, at this temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules of the object disappears, but the potential energy still exists, the internal energy takes a minimum value, the material has no particle vibration at all, and there is no so-called 'disappearance' without loss." Angers said.
"Munich physicist Ulrich once mentioned that we can read a series of temperature numbers from the temperature curve, but these numbers only represent the probability that the particles it contains are in a certain energy state, so theoretically
If this position is "flipped", the temperature curve will be reversed from positive to negative, from top to bottom, and the limit will be lower than absolute zero."
"What is above is what is below, which conforms to the core of alchemy of Cuiyu Lu. It turns out that some scientific theories can be confirmed by metaphysics." Someone whispered.
"Modern science cannot simulate the conditions of absolute zero, so naturally it cannot develop a carrier that can maintain the absolute zero space. That is, the material of the brass tank itself is -273.15°C. It is a natural chasm, and our science cannot truly simulate it.
But alchemy can." Angers nodded and said, "If there is a force that can turn the concept of 'up is down' into reality and turn positive numbers into negative numbers, then the problem of absolute zero is just a problem for them.
The problem of 'discovery', as long as they 'discover' the existence of absolute zero, then they can easily implement it and improve it!"
"No wonder these alchemical materials have to be selected for extreme heat resistance. We have never created a space at absolute zero, so naturally we don't know what is needed as a carrier of space. But if we take the positive temperature and use alchemy to reverse its own 'property',
If heat resistance becomes cold resistance, then the carrier problem in absolute zero space will be easily solved." The researcher who first noticed the material problem of the brass can suddenly realized, and then became extremely excited and blushed on his face.
Angers saw their reactions in his eyes, nodded slowly and said, "The deciphering of the 'Cocooning' technology has been put on the agenda. Norton's 'Cocoon' is undoubtedly the most perfect pinnacle in alchemy. This is
It’s his own coffin, on which we may obtain richer conditions than previous records, so the work of accepting the Dragon King’s property actually started when we obtained the brass jar!”
"This is still the level where the brass jar has not been truly opened." The researchers' hearts almost jumped out of their throats. They had already touched the secret of dragon immortality without even truly opening the brass jar. Once they opened it, they would obtain the living body of the Dragon King.
What achievements will be achieved in the future? Just thinking about it for a moment is almost overwhelming.
"Are our security measures in place?" Some researchers who still maintained their rationality asked nervously, taking a deep breath. The closer they get to the end, the more worried they are that mistakes will be made before seeing the truth, and that they will inevitably suffer regrets before reaching perfection. This is
Numerous literary and realistic works have given people warnings.
"The college has activated the first-level alert state in the 'silent' mode. Good meat will definitely attract jackals. We can only ensure that we do our best. After all, jackals are ferocious beasts that are not afraid of death." Angers shook his head.
Said, "But don't worry too much. If the college is invaded during tonight's dissection, we will know it immediately. After all, don't forget, Kassel College is open 24 hours a day, all year round."
Intermittently there is a living radar monitoring everything."
The Night Watchman, the vice-principal’s words and precepts.
Many researchers were slightly relieved. Of course, they could not forget the 'domain' that enveloped the entire academy. Maintained by Professor Flamel's self-created alchemy matrix, that huge 'commandment' could be maintained almost all year round.
The ground is on alert, and any existence that enters the 'domain' will be informed by the Night Watch immediately.
Once the 'commandments' are revoked, the students' voices and spirits of the entire Kassel College will no longer be suppressed. Everyone will surely realize that the invasion has occurred, and a huge cohesion will break out. This is the fundamental guarantee for the security of the college.
"As far as I know, the 'commandments' are still being maintained stably." Angers raised his head and looked at the ceiling above his head. The Shikoti area of the ice cellar is not far from the bell tower. It is also shrouded by the spirit of words. According to
He made an agreement with the vice-principal that if any accident occurs, the voice spirit in this area will be revoked as soon as possible, thus alerting Angers College that an invasion has occurred. (Metal-free environment, pagers and communication equipment cannot be brought in)
"Then let's start now? Principal." The researcher glanced at the metal-free vintage Roman watch in his hand. The time has now reached twelve o'clock, which is the time when the anatomy experiment begins.
"It's a pity that we can't hear the bells from the bell tower, otherwise it would be more ceremonial." Angers said with a slight pity. It is not difficult to see that the old guy's arrogance has been engraved into his bones.
After a while, under the suppressed and excited gazes of the researchers, he calmed down his emotions slightly, looked at the metal-free dial with a calm face, which was already pointing to twelve o'clock, and the hour and minute hands overlapped, and said, "The time is now 2010, 8
At 0:00 on the 21st of the month, I announce that the anatomy experiment of the Lord of Bronze and Fire has officially begun!"
