There is no need to doubt the sampling accuracy and computing power of the data terminal. At least in this universe, apart from the large mainframe of the Crystal Core Research Station and the cluster computing unit of the drone swarm, Hao Ren has found no one that can compare with the data terminal.
Comparable information processing equipment, so he completely believed the other party's judgment: the time and space inside this closed ruins did once stand still!
"You just said that the ancient magic empire did not master the technology of time?" He immediately looked at Master Haimo with a serious expression.??
Haimer himself was a little surprised at the moment. Although he had made the assumption that "time stood still in the ruins", it still made him feel incredible after this assumption was confirmed: "This... stands to reason. Ancient magic
Although the history of the empire is incomplete and has mostly become legends, our Magician Association has always focused on collecting historical materials. We have much more information about the ancient magic empire than ordinary people know. Judging from the historical materials currently available, they
There is really no research on time...it’s not even mentioned in those materials.”
"Such an important technology cannot appear out of thin air. Since there is no mention of it in all historical materials, then I am afraid that the ancient magic emperors really did not have the ability to control time," Vivian said, "And if they really could
By controlling this kind of power, you won't be so embarrassed when fighting against the eldest son...at least it won't be so completely destroyed."
"So there must be another reason why time has stopped in this ruins..." Hao Ren said as he walked towards the rooms around the hall, "Let's quickly check separately. Since time here has just started to flow, there must be some traces.
Leave."
As he spoke, he also felt a little regretful: he came a step too late. If he had known the news when the Horleta investigation team just arrived at the ruins, he would have rushed there as soon as possible, and then he would have been able to
I saw the state of the ruins at the moment they were opened. However, several days have passed since the first gate was opened. Many important clues may have disappeared in these few days.
For example, the magic circles and alchemy containers that Haimer mentioned were still running when the ruins were opened: they have long been shut down at this moment.
But even so, Hao Ren could still see from the remaining traces signs that time and space had once stood still here.
Everywhere in the hall was spotless, the floor and some furnishings were as clean as new. And if they had really been idle here for ten thousand years, then even if they had not been weathered, a thick layer of dust would still be indispensable. He added
Open some rooms that are not locked, and see the well-preserved, unseasoned, bright and clean furniture and furnishings in the room. They are as clean as if the owner has just left and is ready to return at any time.
Only some messy small furnishings and pieces of paper can make this place look a little bit like an "abandoned place".
Moreover, he also saw the experimental equipment mentioned by Master Haimo, which had just stopped operating and still had residual temperature or magical reactions. These equipment were even more concerning.
"...Does it look familiar to you?" In a large laboratory located in the southeast corner of the hall, Hao Ren pointed to the things in the room and asked, "These jars and connectors...and the two culture chambers are the same
This thing looks so familiar."
This is a rectangular laboratory, and has a layout that far exceeds the alchemy technology of Holleta today. Starting from the passage leading to the hall and continuing to the laboratory operation area, there are strict safety inspections, dust removal, static electricity removal, and air filtration.
Measures, these things are already extremely advanced in terms of technology and concept, and the so-called "alchemy cabin" on this planet today is simply incomparable. On both sides of the glass passage in the dust removal area, Hao Ren even
I also saw a detailed work procedure, which marked with words and pictures the rules that laboratory operators must abide by, including details such as changing clothes, removing metal belongings, prohibiting entry when sick, etc. In this work procedure
There is also a thin crystal plate next to it, with green writing floating on the thin plate, writing some names and times, which may be the personnel registration when this laboratory was last opened.
After checking the data terminal, it was found that this thin crystal plate uses magic to store writings, and the maximum storage time at each time is no more than half a month: This once again strongly confirms the fact that time here has been suspended.
The "familiar" thing Hao Ren said was a pile of complex equipment in the central area of the laboratory.
Several jars made of metal and glass are placed vertically on the sunken ground in the center of the room. About one-third of the mysterious liquid can be seen in the containers. Some complex pipes and lines connect those containers and extend to various places.
On the various equipment and magic arrays in the distance, there are several neat metal tables placed on the experimental table next to these equipments. There are magic arrays floating on those metal tables, which look like some kind of monitoring equipment.
There are several completely enclosed metal cans against the wall of the room. There are nameplates hanging on the metal cans with numbers and lockdown times written on them.
"I thought of the 'Origin Sacred Artifact'," Vivian frowned, "These things are very similar to the Origin Sacred Artifact."
"Not only the style, but also the structure is similar," Hao Ren nodded. "The Holy Artifact of Origin is more like a miniaturized version of these things...or the final version. The Holy Artifact of Origin has been able to complete the 'assembly' of the Demon Hunter.
, so that should be the finished product, and the equipment here is too large, bulky, and the energy consumption is obviously too high, so it should be some kind of testing machine."
Haimo looked a little confused when he heard Hao Ren's words: "What is the Origin Sacred Artifact?"
"You don't know?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, but then he remembered that although he had already communicated this part of the information with Ofra and other locals, he did not publicize it to the outside world. Heimer, who was not at the center of the incident at the time,
Naturally, he knew nothing about this, so he gave a brief explanation, "It was a device created by the ancient Magic Empire when it was studying the origin of life. It was used to artificially synthesize a 'perfect creature'. The 'ancient species' in the world today"
It is the product of this plan. Of course, that is all in the past. The ancient species now have become part of the natural system of Horleta and have nothing to do with the ancient magic empire."
Haimer had already led people to conduct inspections in this area of the ruins before, so he had some knowledge of the laboratory here. However, because he did not know the information about the origin of the sacred artifact, he was confused about what he found, and now
Knowing the origin of the sacred artifact, he naturally straightened out his thoughts and mentioned the situation in several other laboratories.
In addition to this large laboratory, there are four other laboratories with similar equipment, large culture vessels, biological pipelines, and radiation devices. The structures of these laboratories are all similar, and they should be several of the same large-scale project.
Different operating groups.
Although he was still unable to enter the depths of the ruins, Hao Ren had already vaguely guessed what kind of place this place was.
The birthplace of the witcher.
The original testing ground for the ancient magic empire to create "perfect life" was actually right here!
"I didn't expect...we found it just like this..." Vivian felt that everything was so dramatic that it was unbelievable, "If this is correct, this is where the biological experts from the ancient Magic Empire should have found it..."
Created by demon hunters. No wonder... this is the junction of several magic empires, a natural buffer and fusion zone. If they want to have some sneaky joint projects, this place is perfect!"
Hao Ren didn't say anything, just lowered his head and checked the information at hand. These things were found from a nearby experimental bench. Most of the information here had been destroyed or taken away, but there were still some unimportant paper notes retained.
Since time has stood still, these data from "ten thousand years ago" are almost brand new.
The note in front of me should be a random record by an experimenter. It does not contain any critical data information such as the parameters for creating a "perfect life" and the specific arrangements for operators, but even a casual note is enough to attract interest.
"On the day of the month, the experimental subject in container No. 3 was inactivated. It was a regrettable failure. No reason could be found out, and he just died. Maybe we shouldn't inject too much source blood into him...
"On the day of the month, the experimental subject in container No. 2 is still alive, but it has undergone serious mutations. Those twisted and proliferated limbs almost fill the entire container, and the experimental subject's brain is obviously unable to control these powerful limbs. We have to carry out treatment on it.
It was terminated. It was really difficult to forcibly fuse the mortal cells with the 'initial cells' in the original blood, so we had to choose another plan.
"On the day of March, there was an explosion in the Fourth Laboratory. A container blew up. Fortunately, it did not affect other things. It is said that the cause of the explosion was that the experimental subjects in the container suddenly woke up and had a violent reaction. She probably felt the danger, or maybe
It’s just that they simply can’t control their own energy. Anyway, this is a reminder to everyone: what we are creating is an unprecedented and powerful creature. Almost as soon as they are born, they have the same power as ordinary humans to temper their lives, even if they are in a jar.
They are even more lethal than fully armed warriors and mages...
"Monday, unexpected good news, we detected highly active 'divine cells' in the wreckage of the Fourth Laboratory after the explosion. These cells are still alive and retain powerful oracle power, and perhaps
It was caused by the impact of the explosion. They have become highly compatible with mortal cells and can coexist peacefully with them! This may be the breakthrough point we have been seeking. The original oracle was so vague that we walked a lot
It’s been a detour, but Goddess bless us, we have finally understood your will, these precious cells will become the key to the entire project, and I can’t wait to see the results of them being implanted into new experimental subjects!”
The note ends abruptly here, and there are no torn or stained pages at the back, so that should be all.
However, even so, the contents of the notes were enough to make Hao Ren stunned. (To be continued.) 8
