The Origin Sacred Artifact roared for a short period of time after being filled with energy. Various sensing devices immediately took this opportunity to record various phenomena and internal changes during its operation. However, the entire test process lasted less than three minutes.
, due to the lack of the most critical control core, this ancient equipment can only run to the stage of system self-check and then becomes unsustainable.
"I suddenly sympathized with Bethamos," Vivian showed a weird smile, "Even if we didn't mess with him, he was destined to fail - but he seemed quite confident at the time. Where did that guy find the information?
Gave him so much confidence?"
"Anyway, Hesiana is still under investigation. News will come sooner or later," Hao Ren curled his lips, "But I guess there won't be any important information in the end. This thing is with the Olympus family."
After keeping it for so many years, didn’t Zeus find out its secrets... By the way, Hesperus happens to be here, do you know anything about the origin of the sacred artifact?"
Hao Ren then remembered that Hesperus was a survivor of the Olympus family, and asked the other party expectantly, but Hesperus just shook his head apologetically: "I am not a scholar, and I am not a member of the family.
In fact, the position in the middle is not too high...I can't get into things that look like top secrets at first sight."
However, after she finished speaking, she still recalled it carefully and remembered something useful: "If I have to say it... I remember that when I met Athena several times in the last days, she would always murmur some strange things uneasily.
Weird things, saying 'everything was a mistake', 'you brought it upon yourself', etc., and strange things often happened on Mount Olympus during that time... people often disappeared. They would come back a few days later,
The guy who came back seemed like a different person. He was irritable and irritable, and he didn't communicate with anyone. I suspect that Athena used living people for experiments when she was studying the origin artifact."
"You bring it upon yourself... You bring it on yourself..." Hao Ren thought about these words. "Did the Olympus family discover the secret of the origin of the sacred weapon and realize that they were created by others? But what does this have to do with bringing it upon themselves?"
"Perhaps this sentence is for the maker of the Origin Sacred Artifact!" Vivian gave a light high-five, "Don't forget that there is another major disaster in the Dream Plane. Could this disaster be related to the Origin Sacred Artifact?
?”
Hao Ren felt that this was very possible. It seemed that there was a little light in the fog, but the light was fleeting. The whole thing was still shrouded in the sea of clouds, mountains and fog, which made people confused. He instinctively felt that he and Weiwei
There was a fundamental misunderstanding in An's guess about the origin of the sacred weapon, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue. Finally, he shook his head: "It's better not to guess randomly. If you guess wrong, you will get more and more wrong.
.”
The data terminal agreed with Hao Ren's cautious attitude. It controlled a set of mechanical tentacles to reset some components on the Origin Artifact. At the same time, it used a holographic projection to display the operation of the ship-based factory: "This machine has ordered the ship-based factory to produce
Some substances are synthesized based on the material components detected in the 'feeding port'. Then this machine will copy several sets of the Origin Sacred Artifact and try to let it process those synthesized substances... although it will definitely not produce the expected results.
It’s a finished product, but we should be able to figure out how much this equipment is missing, and we can have a direction for future research.”
Hao Ren nodded and looked up at the top of the Origin Sacred Artifact. The alloy shield there had been taken off, revealing a football-sized gap underneath, which was where the missing components of the ancient device originally were. He lowered the entire platform.
So that my line of sight was level with the gap, I then stretched out my hand and touched in the gap. I felt many regular bumps and convex points - they should be something like slots.
If only this missing core could be found.
He put the Origin Artifact aside for the time being and went to the test bench nearby to check the progress of several other analysis tasks. The test bench closest to him was testing the demon hunter's blood samples and body tissue samples, while the other test bench
There are some very familiar things on it: a small hand crossbow with exquisite workmanship, a huge and complex enchanted crossbow, a card with the Leita rune written on it, and an arrow with shining silver light. These things are all in the Athens Sanctuary.
Among the trophies obtained from the game, some were stolen from previous encounters with demon hunters.
Half of the rune cards were left by Nangong Sanba - the fruits of two weeks of work by that half-hearted demon hunter. Doudou had to eat them for a long time. Before he finished eating, Hao Ren took a few of the cards by the way.
I came here for analysis, just to compare the difference between a half-baked witcher and a genuine witcher.
Doudou let out a loud cheer as soon as she saw her "meal" on the table. She finally mistakenly thought that Hao Ren had brought her here to go to a restaurant, and jumped onto the test table with a bang on the spot to start the meal.
As a result, he bumped into a transparent protective cover - several rune cards were undergoing composition analysis, and they were covered with things.
The two sensing probes that were scanning the rune cards were startled by the sudden impact. At the same time, they raised their "heads" to look in the direction of Doudou, and then the two miniature tentacles bent down as if shrugging.
, lowered his head and continued to scan the card.
Doudou saw her food being invaded by other fish (she felt those probes were another kind of fish) and became furious. She grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve and shouted: "Dad! Doudou's rice! It's been stolen!"
Hao Ren immediately felt a little teary-eyed: The hard work he has spent on teaching his daughter how to speak in the past half month has been in vain. Look, this child can call her right at the critical moment!
He took out the small pieces of wood he had prepared early from his pocket and stuffed them into Doudou's arms to comfort his daughter. Then he looked at the analysis report: "...most of the props of the Witcher have undergone complex enchanting processing. At the same time,
They are tempered with herbs and minerals, and what these tempering raw materials have in common is... they all use their own blood?"
"Yes, blood components have been found on all the equipment," the data terminal replied, "the pigments of the rune cards, the background color of the magic patterns on the bows and crossbows, the potions used to temporarily enhance their physical fitness, and even their clothes -
Those fabrics were mixed with a small amount of silk thread soaked in blood. By comparing it with the blood samples collected, it was confirmed that the blood used in making these equipment was the demon hunter's own, and theoretically it was dedicated to each of them.
"
Hao Ren immediately felt that the equipment on this table gave him an indescribable strange feeling, and his eyes finally fell on the rune cards left by Nangong Sanba. A chill ran through his body, and he quickly picked them up.
Doudou: "You can't eat these cards anymore!"
Doudou's answer was to slap his hand with her tail, and the little guy pretended not to hear.
"Don't worry, Nangong Sanba's card didn't use blood, it was just ordinary herbal juice," the data terminal reassured Hao Ren. "It may be that there is something wrong with his bloodline, and the magic power in the blood is not enough, or it may be that he
I didn’t have time to learn this.”
Vivian picked up a crossbow arrow from the table next to her and said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's nothing. Many magics need to be guided by blood. If you are allergic to this, what should I do if I still use blood magic all day long?"
Hao Ren thought about it and stopped pursuing the issue. He was just curious: "So the power of demon hunters comes from their blood?"
"It's not just that it comes from blood. The structure of their blood is very weird, and it even makes people wonder how the complex components inside can live together peacefully," the data terminal said, "and this machine also discovered a wonderful phenomenon.
…Maybe it can explain a little bit the decline of the witchers in recent years.”
Upon hearing this, Vivian and Hesperus immediately pricked up their ears.
"The genetics of witchers are becoming unbalanced. This machine has found some weird 'lesions' in the bodies of young witchers, but not in the bodies of old witchers. These lesions are not fatal and do not even affect health.
, but it will lead to a decrease in the magic power contained in their blood and a decrease in fertility. If correct... this is a genetic disease, and it may have spread to their entire family. As for the cause of the genetic disease... maybe it is the inability of aliens to adapt.
Just as the new environment continued to decline, they also began to be rejected by the environment, but they weakened thousands of years later than the aliens."
The data terminal paused and added the last sentence: "In addition, no signs of treatment have been found - it is very likely that they have not discovered these obscure diseases." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
