Rothkar glanced at the surveillance screen. The data on it kept changing, and all the changes to Li Zheng's body caused by every movement were recorded.
He looked at it for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He clicked on the data bar and flipped it up and down to check it carefully.
"Professor, what's wrong?" Fengyue was curious. Rothkar must have discovered something to cause this.
Rothkar pointed to several pieces of data and said: "Muscle strength, bone density, blood flow rate, heart pressure, visceral pressure, cranial pressure... Each time the data collected has different levels of changes, although the amplitude is very large.
Small, but…”
He raised his head and glanced at Li Zheng: "But every change brought about is making his body change for the better!"
Rothkar's eyes were full of wonder: "What kind of race is this? What is special about them? Why are they so capable of adapting to the environment?"
"It's just the data of a single individual. Maybe it's a special case?" Fengyue said: "If we want to prove the specialness of this race, we need more data of the same type to support it. Maybe we can issue a whole-block mission to recruit this race into the outside world.
Residents of the city come to the institute to assist in research?"
"You're right." Rothkar glanced at him: "Aren't you afraid that they will break the record first? After all, you have been working hard for more than 20 years to break the record."
Fengyue said with a relieved smile: "Aren't records meant to be broken? Even if I create a new record, others will break it in the future. So what does it matter whether I can be the one to break the record now?
?”
Rothkar was quite surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. I always thought you were a paranoid guy, so you wanted to break the record left by your predecessors so much."
"Haha." Fengyue said with a simple and honest smile: "To put a pat on the back, the reason why I want to break the record is actually to make a contribution to the technological breakthrough in this area in the outer city. Now there are more than
I am a more suitable candidate, which shows that the breakthrough of this technology is just around the corner, and I am not happy yet."
"It's best if you think so." Rothkar pondered for a few seconds and said: "You have also been immersed in gravity research for more than 20 years, and some theoretical knowledge is no less than mine. I will apply with the above later.
You come to be my assistant. At least you can get the status of a professor's assistant. It's better than your ordinary researcher position, and your status and remuneration can also be improved a lot."
Fengyue's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Then I'll thank the professor first."
"This is the treatment you deserve. If there weren't too few people participating in this study, I would have promoted you." Rothkar said.
Li Zheng practiced for a while, but felt that the effect was very little, so he urged in the direction of the communicator: "Why haven't you increased the gravity coefficient yet?"
Rothkar smiled: "He is more addicted than you, so I can't wait any longer."
Turning on the communicator, he informed: "I will now lift you to 10.5 times gravity. You need to get used to it first. Let's do it step by step."
Li Zheng nodded immediately: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gravity coefficient in the gravity field increased again. After adapting to ten times the gravity, Li Zheng once again experienced the feeling of having a layer of shackles attached to his body.
"Hi~hoo..." He took a deep breath, slightly adjusted his body feeling, tried to stand up straight, and slowly adapted to the current gravity.
"Ten times gravity is a level and a breakthrough." Rothkar said: "Many races have participated in this experiment in the outer city, and most of them have stopped at ten times gravity and cannot continue to improve.
"I've studied their data, and most of them have some kind of genetic limitation.
"This restriction cannot be broken by genetic medicine. It is an innate shackle that cannot be broken artificially.
"It can be understood that God has limited their growth and prevented them from achieving the ultimate in this aspect.
"But for any race that can break through ten times the gravity coefficient, the subsequent improvement is often astonishing, and the span is very large.
"So far, the only one who stands out is your Luogui tribe, which has achieved close to fifty times gravity."
The equipment produced by the Gravity Research Institute can already achieve a hundredfold increase in gravity when turned on at maximum power. So far, no one can survive in such an increase environment.
Rothkar's eyes were filled with anticipation: "I don't know how far he can achieve it in the end."
Is it possible to survive in an environment with a hundred times increase in gravity like a dream?
Li Zheng took a few minutes to adapt and jumped around in the gravity field. Every time he landed, his steps became extremely heavy. He was far less comfortable than he was in an environment with ten times the gravity.
"After ten times, there seems to be a qualitative change." Li Zheng stopped moving and continued to adjust his senses, thinking in his mind: "It's just an increase of 0.5 times, and the gap becomes as outrageous as eight times to ten times.
"
He could feel that every part of his body was changing to adapt to the current environment, and even deep within every cell, there seemed to be some kind of change.
It's just that he can't describe what that change is, it's just a mysterious and mysterious perception.
After another five minutes, he tried the standing jump again.
This time, his steps were much lighter when he fell.
If it was a sandbag weighing more than 200 kilograms that fell from a height before, now it became a bucket of water weighing more than 20 kilograms that was dropped with force.
"It's still not enough." Li Zheng frowned.
This time he did not stand still, but moved around in the gravity field with one foot deep and one shallow.
Gradually, the steps became consistent, and each step became very even.
By the time he felt that he had fully adapted, another half hour had passed.
He jumped a few times and landed lightly. The ten times gravity did not seem to affect him at all.
"The physical improvement seems to be great, but the mental power is not able to increase one hundred thousandth of the total amount..." Li Zheng said to the communicator: "Add more!"
Two hours later.
"More!"
…
"More!"
…
"More!"
…
It was added five more times before and after, each time with an increase of 0.5 times, which was exactly the thirteen times that Rothkar said before!
Li Zheng could no longer maintain a standing posture at this time, and could only sit there, with muscles trembling all over his body, struggling to hold on.
"Thirteen times, it's reached the limit."
Li Zheng was sweating profusely: "For every 0.5 times the increase, the time required to adapt increases geometrically. If I want to adapt to the current environment, I need to withstand at least thirty hours of continuous oppression!"
He raised one hand, and it was extremely difficult for him to do such a simple action as raising his hand. Every finger seemed to be hung with a heavy weight, forcing him to put his arm down.
In addition, under the influence of such a high magnification of gravity, his skin and muscles inevitably showed signs of falling.
Especially the eyelids are completely drooped, covering the eyes and unable to open them.
The flesh on both sides of the cheeks hangs low, much like a certain breed of dog on earth that Li Zheng remembers - a pug.
"Okay, let's go here today." Fengyue was worried about Li Zheng's accident, so he couldn't help but suggest: "There are still many days ahead, and it's not too late to continue tomorrow."
Rothkar also had the same idea, but he only wanted to collect data. Whether he wanted to stop or not would depend on Li Zheng himself.
But Li Zheng was sitting there with no intention of pausing.
It wasn't until another half hour passed that Li Zheng's expression suddenly changed: "Stop!"
Rothkar hurriedly operated, reducing the force bit by bit to restore gravity.
This process lasted for more than twenty minutes before the gravity generator was finally completely shut down.
As the equipment was turned off, Li Zheng's fallen body parts slowly returned to their original state.
Li Zheng got up and moved around, and felt that his whole body was extremely relaxed.
He stood up and turned around to look, frowning: "Has my height... become shorter?"
He raised his arms and stretched.
The vertebrae joints made a series of crackling sounds.
Then he looked around again: "Well, the height is back again."
He hurriedly left the gravity field and went straight to the bathroom not far away.
If he hadn't wanted to go to the toilet, he could have held on for a while longer.
