At the same time, on the Red Sea in Africa, in the forest of stone pillars, inside the British battleship ------ the attacking Palamedes.
"Hmm." King Arthur looked at the highly transparent gel with a hint of sky blue in a transparent petri dish with interest. That thing looked very cold and full of water, but it would not change over time.
It dries out over time. It has been placed in the petri dish for at least three hours, and it still maintains the moisture it should look like, and its volume has not even decreased by half.
Obviously, this thing contains no water, or has low water content, or is firmly locked in some very stable molecular structure, and the water is not easy to evaporate. In any case, this gel-like substance is very mysterious, and far away
Beyond the scope of common sense.
Therefore, just looking at it could not solve the problem. The King of Knights tried to use other methods to directly contact the gel to see what it could do. He stretched out a hand and lightly touched the gel with his fingers.
I didn't feel anything at first. The gel looked cold, but it was not as cold as I thought when I touched it. It was just soft and kept at normal temperature.
But a few seconds later, King Arthur felt a numbness in his fingers, an extremely strange dull feeling that continued to spread along with the numbness in his fingertips, as if all the power in his body had been sucked away by it. The King of Knights felt again.
If this continues, the entire finger will fall into a state of paralysis, so he instantly withdraws his finger, away from that wonderful and dangerous light sky blue gel.
"Even if nothing is done..." he hummed in a low voice: "This thing can still make people's bodies numb. Is it a powerful anesthetic?"
"No." Prime Minister Merlin, who had been watching every move of the King of Knights since just now, explained: "Drugs do not regenerate so quickly through skin contact, and your Majesty has the blood of a succubus in your body.
You have a strong resistance to poisons, so ordinary anesthetics should not be able to do anything to you. The anesthetic ingredient of this [stasis gel] is actually not pharmacological, but physical------again
In other words, it is photonic."
"ha?"
"It contains a special kind of [inert photon], which will immediately spread into the living body when it comes into contact with the living body, and take effect in tissue cells such as muscles and internal organs, neutralizing the activity of ordinary photons, and greatly inhibiting the biological activity.
The quantum jump speed of every molecule in the body---in short, it unconditionally slows down the metabolism in the organism, almost to a standstill."
"That's why we say it's physical or even photonic anesthesia..." King Arthur replied in a vague way: "By the way, is there a way to mass-produce this kind of thing?"
"Why does Your Majesty want to produce this gel in large quantities?" Merlin expressed confusion, "If it is to save the dying knights on the battlefield, we have a medical team bound to an instant transmission system, advanced medical technology and world-leading
The medical team does not necessarily need the help of this [stasis gel] to save the dying people from the front line, right?"
"Of course, it has other uses." The King of Knights replied ambiguously.
"For example?" Merlin asked worriedly.
The King of Knights thought for a moment before replying: "For example, to make up for the missing link in the [Gate of Eternal Calamity] plan. Have we not already successfully broken through the bottleneck, allowing the [Gate of Eternal Calamity] to pass through [The End of Time] smoothly?"
, marching from the old universe to the new universe? However, the problem of the aging of the crew has never been solved. In this way, even if you escape from the old universe that is about to be destroyed and reach the new universe, the long wait will cause the crew to age and die, right?
"
"We should have mentioned allowing the crew to thrive in the [Vault]..." Merlin muttered.
"Well, about that, I never thought that was a good idea." The Knight King retorted: "How many generations will it take to complete [evacuation]? Let the limited people in the refuge live in darkness and empty space for generations.
Do you want to live in a void universe and live a boring life? No. That would be too bad. Not to mention the problem of various genetic diseases caused by inbreeding among people in the shelter after many generations.
The long wait will make the plan sour. Those people who have been waiting in the dark void for generations will probably go crazy first. [The Gate of Eternal Calamity] is supposed to be a place that carries hope and continues the hope of this world that is about to be destroyed.
If the plan changes from hope to despair, everything will lose its meaning."
"So Your Majesty, you plan to use [Stasis Gel] to put the crew of [Gate of Eternal Calamity] into eternal sleep until the new universe is formed again and everyone reaches the other side of hope?" Merlin blinked: "That's a good idea.
.But when everyone falls asleep, who can manage the [Gate of Eternal Calamity] and keep everything on track and continue to operate?"
"It is not necessary for everyone to fall asleep. Every once in a while, let a group of people wake up, take over the work of the previous group of people, and continuously monitor whether the system is operating normally in a shift system. In addition to human monitoring,
, do we still have an artificial intelligence system? Isn’t the copying of Eve’s personality also in progress?”
"If your Majesty insists on saying this..."
"So, to be honest, can [stasis gel] be replicated in large quantities? Now that we have these samples, we should be able to use the same formula to make products of the same quality, right?"
"I was afraid you would ask this, Your Majesty..." Merlin glanced sideways at King Arthur, "That is a product that is accurate to the photon level. With our technology in Great Britain, we can't even manufacture a fixed structure independently."
Even photons can't do it. Of course, they can't mass-produce this wonderful gel like the [Academy] did. They should have some kind of artifact from the ancient gods and humans, so they can mass-produce this kind of gel.
capabilities. We can't replicate their success until we get the same equipment again."
"Can't mass produce? Wait, that is to say..." The King of Knights also looked at Merlin sideways: "You have a way to produce it in small quantities?"
"Um, yes, I can. Just a small amount." Merlin shrugged and said, "And I'm afraid I'm the only one in the world who can do it. Using [Alchemy]... or [
[Light Refining Technique], I am probably the only one in the world who can create specific photons with the same structure accurately to the level of photons. If I can create that kind of photon, I have a way to pour the photon into a similar gel to make it work.
Almost the same effect."
"But the yield is small," King Arthur added.
"The output is very small. Maybe even if I strain my nerves and use [Light Refining Technique] to make similar products, it will probably take an hour to make the same amount of [Statistical Gel] in the glass container in front of your Majesty."
." Merlin said: "It is very laborious to accurately refine photons of a certain special structure. What's more, we currently do not have appropriate experimental equipment, which will probably further increase the difficulty for me to create [stasis gel].
."
"Yeah. It's impossible for you to mass-produce [Stasis Gel] by yourself, I understand." The Knight King nodded: "But mass-produce [Gel] and create a large amount of [Gate of Eternal Calamity]
I won’t give up the idea of a [stasis capsule] used by the crew so easily. In other words, there is only one solution left------"
Merlin frowned, his gray brows wrinkled on his young and middle-aged face, with a mysterious sense of disobedience: "Your Majesty, do you want to...attack the academy?"
"If they really have the kind of artifact that makes [stasis gel], of course I would be interested in getting that artifact." The King of Knights touched his chin and said, "It's useless for them to hold that kind of thing.
, no matter how much stasis gel is made, it will only be used to do evil. In contrast, wouldn't it be better if I use that kind of thing to do more meaningful things?"
"But we have an agreement before, not to mess with [the Academy] for the time being." Merlin's brows furrowed deeper, "That is a dangerous opponent. God knows how many of their people have penetrated into every corner of every country in the world."
How deep is it? Hell, even [Ivory Tower] has people from the academy working as internal agents, and they are all-pervasive. Now that Great Britain's national power is not at its peak, it is not a wise thing to start openly opposing the people in the academy at this time.
"
"Who said that Great Britain would openly oppose the academy?" The King of Knights smiled evilly.
"Then what does Your Majesty want to do?"
"We won't openly confront the academy, but we can use third-party forces." King Arthur sneered: "Don't Bedivere and his group have a lot of problems with the academy? If you want to confront the academy, let them handle it.
That's fine. And Great Britain just needs to give appropriate help from the secret and add fuel to the fire."
"Your Majesty, you are playing with fire..."
"When it comes to playing with fire, the academy is playing a bigger game." The King of Knights said disapprovingly, "From what the academy is doing so far, it seems that the game they are playing is a big one. If we don't think of ways to suppress and weaken this game now,
Dangerous organizations, if you want to stay on the same page with them, it will be too late when they really grow stronger. The artificial humans in the academy are all mass-produced. You are confident that the knights of the Knights of Great Britain can suppress the numbers that outnumber them.
, an army of androids that are physically stronger than them, and the only difference is combat experience?"
"Indeed." Prime Minister Merlin blinked: "Although we are not trying to get rid of this organization, we are trying to find ways to weaken their strength from the side. This might as well be an optional method."
"No matter what, we will have to fight the academy one day." The King of Knights closed the lid of the petri dish and put away the sample containing the stasis gel. "Before that fateful day comes, plan well and connect us."
We can unite our forces and find a way to drag down our enemy's retreat, and then, in an unknown place, steadily move toward victory."
"Understood, Your Majesty." Merlin replied calmly: "I will make arrangements."
However, they didn't know what kind of unreachable opponent they were facing. (To be continued)
