Chapter 1511 The Flesh Becomes a Channel
The blue-green liquid is a highly concentrated active agent, which, in addition to the active ingredients, also contains nanorobots and human genes.
The active ingredient is what keeps the flesh of the Burning Beast from decaying.
The invisible nanorobots continuously decompose the physical energy of the Burning Beast and precisely deliver it to various pipelines.
"What about human genes?" Antonio counted on his fingers. "I can understand preservation and energy extraction, but why would this stuff need human genes?"
"Human genes play a harmonizing and stabilizing role," the person in charge explained. "Although orc genes are powerful, they are also very prone to agitation. On the contrary, human genes are more stable and suitable as a soft medium, allowing active agents and nanobots to interact more smoothly with the bodies of the Burning Beasts."
"So it's not just a simple preservative solution at all," Lin Fan asked in a deep voice, "but a highly concentrated active mixture of biological and mechanical agents?"
“Yes!” The person in charge nodded. “It is a semi-biological, semi-mechanical composite solution that incorporates both biological activity and technological logic.”
"So, the portion of the dark water that the Burning Beast dissolved should contain Burning Beast genes, activators, human genes, and nanobots at the same time?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.
“…That’s correct,” the person in charge replied. “So…could it be that nanobots are at work?”
"How so?" Antonio pressed.
"The working logic of nanorobots can be simply summarized in two parts: decomposing the energy of the Burning Beast and transporting the decomposed energy to a designated location."
The person in charge retrieved the report from the terminal and projected it into the air, but unfortunately, no one could understand it.
“What does this have to do with turning a person into this state?” Antonio waved his hands repeatedly. “Just tell us directly, don’t show us this stuff, it makes us dizzy.”
"How should I put it?" The person in charge hesitated for a moment, then said, "The working mechanism of nanorobots is a bit like formatting... formatting, you know?"
Everyone nodded.
"Normally, after it comes into contact with the body of the Burning Beast, it will forcibly format the energy in the contact area into an energy cluster that it can carry itself, and then send it to a designated channel. Do you understand?"
"This kind of program design is actually a bit like a virus, forcing it to run in its mode."
“You said that Bonnie was an ordinary orc without energy. After the nanobots entered her body, they frantically formatted her physical form, turning it into a portable state, and then pulled it to various channels... That’s why she was stretched like this.”
He looked up at the surging black membrane in mid-air and added.
"Of course, this is just my speculation. There are still some things that cannot be completely confirmed."
"Isn't this reasonable? What else is uncertain?" Antonio asked.
The person in charge shook his head: "Nanobots have also conducted similar live experiments, but on other test subjects, at most they extract energy and never cause such a complete morphological change."
"Your experimental subjects are all orcs with beast souls, right?" Lin Fan asked.
"Yes, whether orcs or humans, we select high-energy individuals..."
"Ahem!" Valerius coughed lightly. "So the variable is that Bonnie doesn't have a beast soul."
“Living things have their own natural defense systems,” Qian Sui said. “People with beast souls or special abilities can automatically resist and block the invasion when foreign objects invade.”
"Nanobots are designed to extract energy, so it is naturally difficult for them to fundamentally change a body that is already heavily guarded."
“But Bonnie is different,” Lin Fan continued. “She doesn’t have any special energy; the only thing that can be called energy is her body.”
"So after the black water entered, the nanobots activated virus mode. Finding no defenses or barriers, they frantically formatted her body and converted it into energy."
"She should have died on the spot, but because of the strong genes of the Burning Beast that were fused into her body, she was forcibly kept alive."
"It is precisely because she has nothing. In terms of individual characteristics, she is a blank pure body that has not been locked down by the 'special defense system'."
Lin Fan sighed softly: "Her 'incompetence' has become her only advantage in becoming a converter."
Everyone fell silent.
To enhance their beast soul genes, Crystal City went so far as to travel to outer space and abduct high-level superhumans for experiments. How could they possibly waste precious materials on useless Gray Stone Beastmen or even Yellow Earth People?
But ironically, the problem that had plagued them for centuries was unexpectedly solved by a lowly gray stone person they had never even given a second glance...
Their existence, which they had never paid any attention to, solved a century-old problem and became the key to resolving the Annimo crisis and ensuring the future of the planet.
How ironic...
"Hahahaha..." Antonio burst out laughing. "You guys are really... really..."
Lin Fan slapped him on the back, silencing his unspoken sarcasm.
“But that only explains why Bonnie became like this, not why she can become an energy conversion device,” she continued to press.
She didn't like the girl. But seeing her become this inhuman, ghost-like state, locked in the pipes, unable even to express herself freely, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The person in charge ran to a large piece of equipment and frantically operated it, then stared at the screen and nodded repeatedly.
"I see! I see!"
"What do you mean, 'what'? Tell me!" Antonio leaned closer, looking at the messy lines filling the screen, and could only watch helplessly.
"Look here!" The person in charge pointed to the screen with a smile, "After the nanobots analyzed her body, they had nowhere to go, so they built a skeleton similar to an circuit inside her body. That is the nanoscale, superconducting liquid biomechanical interface..."
"Wait, wait!" Antonio interrupted hastily. "Explain it simply!"
"Look here!" The person in charge opened a video recording. "This is a record of the energy conversion process. You can clearly see that when the energy entered, Bonnie's body burned like lava."
"Does she still feel pain now?" Antonio suddenly asked.
"Yes," Qian Sui said calmly. "Otherwise, do you think she was dancing because she was moving so much?"
"Hiss..." Antonio looked at the large black and red area on the screen and inexplicably felt pain all over his body.
"Look!" The person in charge was overjoyed. "Pain may stimulate the release of active ingredients in her body. Look here. The more intense the pain, the more ingredients are released, and the higher the energy conversion efficiency!"
“No wonder! No wonder we couldn’t succeed with machine conversion before. So this is the kind of fluctuation frequency we need?” He frantically took notes, his head down. “Indeed, machines have no soul. Only this kind of living organism modified by the virus can find that fragile balance between biology and mechanics…”
He was completely absorbed in his research and had long forgotten that there were people around him.
"This is too tragic." Antonio looked up at the trembling black membrane above with some pity. "It's like using themselves as fuel, burning cold energy into energy that orcs can use."
Bonnie is not a good person, but at most she's a selfish little girl.
Why should they sacrifice their own survival to be trapped here forever, constantly supplying energy to the planet Annie?
Lin Fan felt the same way, but what could he do now that things had come to this?
She patted Antonio, who was staring blankly at Bonnie.
"On the bright side, at least her dream of becoming stronger after coming to Crystal City has been realized in this way—the lights of all Anniemo will shine because of her."
“Indeed,” Antonio said, bowing his head and forcing a smile. “So, she’s practically the supreme being among the orcs. And she even lives in the temple of the Beast God…”
He forced a smile, but his face eventually fell as he looked at Lin Fan: "But why do I still feel so uncomfortable?"
Lin Fan put his arm around his shoulder and let out a long sigh.
Bonnie will be trapped in this crystal coffin forever.
As a living cable, it connects technology and beast souls.
Until the day it is burned dry.
