At the same time, somewhere in the north of Great Britain, in front of Vivian's research institute.
Prime Minister Merlin crossed the fake lake formed by the three-dimensional holographic image and walked for a certain distance at the "bottom of the lake". As soon as he reached the gate of Vivian's research institute at the "bottom of the lake", a golem came out to greet him.
.
"Merlin?" The head of the golem emitted a floating holographic image screen like a camera, and Vivian's face was reflected on the screen.
There was a hint of surprise on her face: "You were de-petrified earlier than expected."
"Yes, I have my own plan." Merlin did not explain much about his plan to set traps to capture prisoners of war today, but simply said indifferently: "I had other things to be busy with, so I didn't plan to come here to find him.
You confirm the situation. But His Majesty King Arthur said that there is a petrified Knight of Great Britain here who needs rescue urgently, so I stopped by to check on the situation."
"Oh, of course." Vivian then understood the purpose of Merlin coming to her research institute: "Come in. The physique of this experimental subject is very special. I believe you will be very interested in it."
"No, no, no," Merlin waved his hand and said with an uninterested look on his face: "I have other things to do, so I won't stay here for long. I will leave the potion to remove petrification, if you find a way.
If so, just inject a dose into the stone statue."
"Hmm." Vivian was still expecting Merlin to explain something more, but she didn't expect that Merlin's words would stop here, so she couldn't help but asked impatiently: "What then?"
"Then? Then let nature take its course." The mage shrugged irresponsibly: "The potency of this medicine is not something everyone can bear. The chance of successfully removing petrification is only about 25%.
No, it may be lower. From His Majesty King Arthur's description, it seems that the patient has been petrified for most of the day. No matter how advanced your equipment is to preserve the body to prevent further petrification, at the human level, this is already more than the body can withstand.
The limit has been reached. The chance of successfully removing petrification has dropped to about one thousandth."
Merlin was silent for a while, rolled his eyes, and continued: "But the patient's situation is indeed special. He suffered from the venom of the succubus and the toxicity of the dragon's blood at the same time. And he was also born with amazing anti-magic abilities, so...
Even Vivian, your teleportation spell can't work on him. He has already turned into stone and lost his self-awareness. It is impossible for a stone statue to continue to have such a powerful absolute field. All of this is true
It’s incredible. Could it be the interaction between dragon blood and succubus toxin?”
"Okay, I understand. Goodbye." Vivian on the screen blinked. She knew that if she continued to let Merlin mutter, things would only get worse, so she controlled the golem to take the antidote bottle from the mage's hand.
Then the golem turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Prime Minister Merlin suddenly felt something was wrong, and added: "I know you are very interested in the patient's physique, Vivian. But His Majesty King Arthur specifically told the knight of Great Britain,
Regardless of whether they are old or young, high or low, everyone is the most important property of the country. Their bodies ------ whether they are alive or dead --- need to be respected. Therefore, I want to see everyone alive tomorrow, and I want to see them dead tomorrow.
Seeing the whole corpse, I hope you will not use his body to do any messy living experiments."
The golem turned its head, and the holographic image screen emitted from the golem's head also turned around, reflecting Vivian's slightly frowning face, as if her trick had been seen through, and she was unhappy in her heart: "I understand.
, No need to go into too much detail. Lianyin and I have a lot of work to do tonight, and it is impossible to have time to conduct in vivo experiments on that child. You can send someone to pick him up tomorrow. If he can be saved,
He will be saved; if he cannot be saved, I will definitely send his intact body back."
"Very good." Merlin nodded, turned and left.
"What a perfect guy." Vivian snorted. But I don't know whether this complaint is directed at Merlin or King Arthur?
In the research institute, Vivian had just finished talking to Merlin and immediately went back to her formal work, working with Lianyin to repair the badly damaged [Explorer].
.However, her emergency repairs are basically not done by herself. To be more precise, she is using dozens of strands of hair to control a huge control panel, directing the small maintenance golems from the control panel to perform repairs on the entire ship.
The outer shell of the spacecraft is being repaired in an orderly manner. Of course, she sometimes controls a few strands of hair, curls the welding gun and other tools, and then makes minor repairs to some delicate parts of the spacecraft.
"Master Merlin is such a person." Lianyin said with a wry smile. The auxiliary work she did here was slightly different from Vivian's. She was mainly responsible for the distribution of materials, so she used magic to levitate a large number of steel plates.
, screws, and various maintenance tools, allocate them to their respective positions. Most of the steel plates are attached to the outer shell of the ship, waiting for other golems to come over to reinforce them.
In fact, it only took about four hours for them to bring the severely damaged spacecraft to this research institute. But because they cooperated very well, they have repaired most of the damaged spacecraft in these four hours. It is estimated that it will be repaired tomorrow morning.
The repair work on the ship's outer shell can be completely completed before.
Of course, the ship also has a power furnace, main control system, and a series of other more complex things waiting for them to deal with. These many problems are enough to keep them busy for a long time.
At the same time, the golem that answered the door also came back with Merlin's anti-petrification potion. The golem handed the potion into Vivian's hand, then turned around and went about what he should be busy with.
"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with this potion?" Lianyin couldn't help but look at the bottle of potion curiously: "Are you going to inject this into the child's body? But how to inject it?"
As far as she knew, the petrified young knight of Great Britain was already half dead, with a thick circle of petrification on the outside of his body. Only a few organs in his body were still barely surviving in a state of suspended animation. However, since the medicine was to be injected, it must be used
The needle penetrates the thick petrified layer and injects it into the patient's body. This will destroy the patient's petrified outer shell to some extent, and may even cause the petrified layer to crack. If the cracking is severe, the entire stone statue will collapse.
It is broken into pieces and can no longer be saved.
"Believe me, I have my own way." Vivian smiled mysteriously: "Palamedes has been petrified for so many years, and I have been trying to use various newly developed medicines, hoping to revive him. You
Do you know how I injected the medicine into a stone statue?"
"It's just because I don't know that I want to ask..." Lianyin muttered in a low voice.
"Let's take a rest." Vivian ordered, pressing the button on the control panel to change the surrounding maintenance golems to automatic control. In this way, the maintenance golems will be assigned to do some work.
A relatively simple shell repair operation without touching the parts that need delicate repairs.
Vivian and Lianyin also stopped. Under the leadership of Vivian, Lianyin followed the succubus out of the laboratory.
"The life support system is on the underground floor." Vivian explained briefly and walked down the stairs at the end of the corridor. Lianyin just followed without saying a word.
Du. The door of a room with strict security measures in the basement opened easily in front of Vivian. There was a huge glass container in the center of the metallic room. Inside the glass container, there was a light green translucent liquid.
The stone statue of Daniel, the young knight, is soaking in water.
"It always feels like I'm asleep..." Lianyin looked at the stone statue and said to himself. I don't know if it was because the life-sustaining liquid refracted light, or if it was Lianyin's own
She had an illusion, looking at the stone statue, she felt that the stone statue, which should have been solid, seemed to be breathing slightly.
"Theoretically, he is indeed [asleep]." Vivian checked the control panel on the side. The panel was covered with complex numbers and text, which should be displaying some biological monitoring data: "He is indeed still asleep."
Alive, at least not completely dead. There are really not many people in the world who can survive like this after drinking dragon blood."
Lianyin remained silent, watching Vivian operate the panel and remove about half of the life-sustaining liquid in the glass container.
As the liquid was drained away, Daniel's stone statue also revealed a head.
"What a little dwarf." Vivian couldn't help complaining: "I didn't expect that the Knights of Great Britain would also hire such a kid as a regular knight. How short of people do they have?"
Lianyin still remained silent. She always felt that speaking nonsense would offend those who shouldn't be offended.
"Lianyin, you just asked me how to inject the anti-petrification potion into a body surrounded by thick stones, right?" Vivian said with a smile: "The answer to this mystery will be solved soon, just watch.
."
She placed the newly obtained anti-petrification potion into a groove on the control panel. Immediately, a mechanical arm grabbed the potion bottle in the groove, and a syringe drained the liquid from the bottle.
"It has been seven years since Paramedes turned to stone and has not recovered." Vivian continued with a little sadness: "So I have been studying petrification for seven years. During this period
Within a short period of time, I discovered a little secret."
The extracted potion has been sent into another syringe through some kind of internal pipe. The syringe filled with petrochemical-removing drugs has been moved to the inside of the huge glass container, driven by a mechanical arm, and slowly
Move towards the stone statue of Daniel.
"The reason why the flesh becomes petrified is because the cells cannot bear the excessive amount of photons flowing through the flesh in a short period of time." Vivian began to explain in detail.
