In the Affiliated Hospital of St. Ursula Medical University in the southern part of the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, there is a low-rise ward that is a little special compared to other places, called the terminal disease ward.
Originally, this place was a place that even employees from medical universities rarely entered, but a purple-haired girl wearing a white coat that looked like a doctor was a frequent visitor here.
As the funder who provided this building, since Rainbow Group built it last summer, she has come to meet with someone at least once a week, not only to share each other's research progress, but also to learn about the latest developments here.
Somewhat different from the doctors known to the public, most of the people working here are researchers. Including Professor Joachim Jonta, who serves as the classroom director, none of them are locals of Crossbell. They are not tempted by the high salary.
Instead, they were attracted here by advanced (ancient) medical technology. Some of them came from the Empire, some from the Republic, some from Orred, and some from Liber.
The cause of the matter was that in October 1202 of the Qiyao Calendar, Ling entrusted the data on ophthalmic technology in the floating city to Arios. Although he made some disguises at the time, he did not hide it from the investigation of interested people.
Before the situation could be further exposed, Ling simply threw out all the records on life sciences and human medicine in the floating city as bait to attract the top doctors on the mainland to take the bait.
Diseases that are considered terminal diseases in modern times are not necessarily the case in floating cities. Although many people have been cured in terms of results, Ling's original intention was not to save lives with good intentions. She just found a way to use herself
Just the resources on hand.
………………
"Ah, I'm sorry. I just noticed that it was already this time. I didn't even notice you coming over." The young professor with light blue hair pushed up his glasses, took out this week's sample list from the drawer and handed it to Ling.
.
"Are you in a daze? It's quite rare for Dr. Qiongta." Ling took the file and quickly browsed it.
"I just remembered what happened when I was studying at Remifilia. Dr. Astrey, I didn't expect that your 'plan' would go so smoothly."
"It's all thanks to you and everyone else. There is one more case in the report than last time, so the number of newly awakened people is thirty-five." Pulling out the photo alone, it was a pretty cute-looking blond girl, about ten years old.
About five years old, of course, the kind that has a lot more information than Ling, "Toga...from the Republic of Kalvard?"
"Strictly speaking, she is a descendant of Oriental people. She seems to have an Oriental square name. Unfortunately, she did not awaken a fighting personality."
"There are no useless abilities. I also don't have a fighting personality."
"That's right. Then let's look forward to that child's future as our companion. Haha."
It was seven years ago that Ling was misunderstood by Joasim as a cadre of the d∴g sect's Sun Fortress stronghold. For Joasim Jonta, a cadre of the Altair stronghold, the Sun Fortress stronghold, the sect's headquarters, is
It is geographically very close, but the actual distance is far away. Although he is the person who manages the records of various experiments, in fact, it was not until the destruction of the d∴g Order that branch priests like him were eligible to enter the headquarters activities.
.
In the current situation, one big difference from the plot of "Zero No Kiseki" is that Joachim, who is chatting in front of Rei, has never seen Zero Miko. Although he knows the existence of such a symbol, he
He had not met him in any way. Qiya was sleeping quietly in Rozenbelk's workshop, and Ling had no intention of revealing this matter to him.
The development of supernatural powers by the d∴g Order is not the original purpose of the Order's experiment, but an intermediate process to achieve witnessing of the truth.
In the words of Joachim, all experiments are to improve the completion of true knowledge. The strong ideas and potential abilities displayed by human beings in their extreme state explode. Those data are of great significance to improving the completion of true knowledge.
The cult abducted children for experiments on the continent of Samlia simply because of the accuracy of the sample data. Experimental subjects who have not yet reached puberty are young and pure, so they are easier to measure in all aspects.
"Isn't this too inefficient? Moreover, the previous joint siege by various forces also proved that this approach is too dangerous. Since then, the strength of the religious group has been very weak, and there are very few surviving comrades. So I have been looking for
A more hidden and more universal experimental method."
Joachim said this to Ling many years ago, but it was not until the second half of last year that something happened that led to the formal cooperation between the two of them.
Ling has neither good nor bad feelings about the development of human potential.
She herself was kidnapped and gained strength as a result. After being rescued, she entered the association's family. The logic of cause and effect of right and wrong has long been unclear. She can now look at what happened to her in paradise just like she looks at other people's things.
everything of.
She did not act according to her own preferences. Instead, when the fantasy puppet show was broadcast in the central square, she asked the staff to send a questionnaire to the audience. She asked the citizens watching if they had the opportunity to become a person who could breathe fire or discharge electricity.
Are capable people willing or unwilling?
The answer is almost a unanimous "I do."
If you can gain power without suffering...only a few people are wary of it. Well, not none, but only a very small minority of less than 5% of the people surveyed.
This project, with Ling providing funds and space, and Joachim as the general commander, is called the "Human Bloodline Mapping Project." The subjects of the experiment are no longer limited to children, but hundreds of thousands of people throughout Crossbell.
Developing superpowers sounds troublesome, but in fact, no one notices that all this is going on subtly.
Neither the medicine is injected directly into the blood vessels, nor the poles inserted into the ears to directly shock the brain.
All Ling did was send Gilbert to use various advertising methods to promote his products.
In the cheap snacks that are almost sold in various department stores now, food additives that have been improved for more than 40 times and have been improved to reduce the cost are used. Because they are cheap enough and can fill the stomach, "Potato ○" has become popular in recent years.
, "○ strips", "○ sticks" and other snack products have become a part of Kezhou people's life.
Crossbell's Food Safety Administration and Food and Drug Administration were basically established because she bribed the imperial congressmen to make proposals, and they were all her people from beginning to end.
As for whether he will be targeted by the church?
If people with abilities could become so common that they were discovered by the church, this would be a dream come true.
After all, the development of superpowers is a very troublesome matter. Compared with the past experiments in various strongholds, the dose of true wisdom that relies on snacks is only very small. If the development of superpowers during the stronghold period is one of the best, then relying on
The probability of acquiring superpowers by ingesting food is probably extremely rare. The fact that double-digit superpowers can appear in just six months is at best a proof that this method is correct. It may take another half a year, or even several years.
Only then will more superpowers appear.
In addition, there is another question about the type of abilities.
Although fire breathing and electrical discharge were used as examples when taking the questionnaire, most people's potential abilities are not so obvious. People with physical enhancement system may simply find that their physical strength has improved and their strength has increased.
Well, those with causality system may find that their premonitions are very accurate and everything goes as they wish. Those with recovery system are energetic every day and have high spatial cognition ability and may feel that they are very accurate in reversing the car into the warehouse. They themselves are not aware of it at all.
to the changes that have happened to oneself.
The reason why we were able to discover that thirty-five superpowers appeared one after another was due to the fact that Joasim had a superpower who could discover superpowers. That was not the result of this round of ability development, but the result of this round of ability development.
One of the experimental results left behind by the d∴g Order's Sigorn Forest stronghold deep in the Principality of Remifilia. When Joachim performed a heart transplant on the little Chloe girl, he also acted as
The assistant participated in it. His vision is different from ordinary people, and he can see the aura wrapped around people. According to Mr. Uku, ordinary people are surrounded by white aura, and warriors with fighting spirit are wrapped in red aura, which is refined.
The mage who possesses magic power is surrounded by blue aura, and the body of the psychic is wrapped in green aura.
By the way, in his eyes, Ling's aura is white, while Joachim's aura is green.
The reliability of this method of identifying supernatural powers by relying on supernatural powers is questionable, but until there is no better detection method, we will stick to this for the time being. Uku developed a set of test strips that can determine the level of supernatural powers by just touching them. Toilet Paper Beating Factory
Production has already started over there. The credibility is also doubtful. Since Joachim trusts him, let's just let him go.
If all 530,000 Kezhou people can become able users, then it is not impossible to resist the Erebonian Empire? This thought is really sweet.
Most of those who have awakened abilities are not talented in combat. Although they are no longer ordinary people, there are only a very small number of people who can win against a guided pistol with their ability. Winning a pistol does not necessarily mean that they can win a guided machine, and winning a machine gun does not necessarily mean that they can win.
He won a guided battle vehicle, let alone a guided airship and a train gun.
In fact, if you spend a lot of time developing capabilities just to create "combat power that can resist pistols," wouldn't it be simpler to just buy a guided gun?
Wouldn't it be too stupid to take the risk of being discovered by the Qiyao Church just to compete with the cheap weapons that can be bought for tens of thousands of millas in weapons stores and supermarkets? Therefore, Joasim's purpose is not to create aliens.
Ability. The important thing is to find out the principles and mechanisms of why there are superpowers. In this way, you can get closer to the truth.
Providing various conveniences for Joachim was not Ling's plan to mass-produce superpowers, but stemmed from an agreement between her and Maria Bell.
"Doctor Jonta is still valuable."
So she planned to give Joachim a chance to prove it.
As for the wishes of the 530,000 citizens living in Crossbell City?
If the ability cannot be awakened, nothing will happen.
What if you are lucky or unlucky enough to awaken your ability?
If someone wrote "unwilling" in the questionnaire, even if they awakened their ability, they would probably hide it from others.
And if it is someone who writes "yes", they will undoubtedly have a completely different future.
After all, there is little hope for the large-scale emergence of superpowers in the short term. So this is just an academic research topic of Mr. Joachim Jonta. The emergence of new superpowers has great consequences for Ling's life and for Cross.
In fact, it has no impact on the lives of the Bell people.
