Chapter 557 Fault Biotechnology
Passing down the stairs, here is an independent underground factory, not huge, but complete with internal organs.
The roar of the steam engine echoed in the ears, and some workers were shoveling coal into the blast furnace, and the dense fog raised by the burning ash was piped out of the building.There are steel frames passing through the ceiling, and the sound of clanging can be heard endlessly.
"Miss Hessing."
An old man walked over from one side.He was wearing a gray striped shirt and a pair of dark gray overalls.A thick apron covered most of his body, and the outer pockets were stuffed with tools.But the most eye-catching thing is the monocular glasses on his face like a watchmaker, the edges are snapped together by various precision gears, and the firelight of the factory is reflected on the lenses.
"Mr. Garman, this is a new member."
The play hard to get just now didn't work, which made the temperature on Quinn's face even colder.The old man glanced at Turing, using his fine spectacles.Then he pulled off his work gloves and reached out to Turing:
"Hello. You must be the newcomer brought back by Miss Haixin..."
"I didn't bring this back, he just ran into our team by chance."
"Hey... Anyway, nice to meet you, Mr. Gray Fox. I'm Norton Garman." Norton glanced at Quinn with meaningful eyes.
"It's an honor to meet you, too." Turing responded politely, frowning inadvertently.
After entering this underground factory, he felt that the strange elements in the air became more intense. He could feel his pores tightening, and a subtle rejection reaction appeared on his body surface.
Like some kind of... radioactive element.
"Mr. Gray Fox?" Norton Garman noticed Turing's distraction.
"I don't feel well."
Quinn and Norton looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly:
"If you feel uncomfortable... then this is a normal reaction. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or even illness. In this world, if you want to have power, you must pay a price. This is the price of being a witcher."
Norton led the two into the factory, walked through two tall furnaces, and introduced the backside of the factory to Turing:
"I think you must be wondering why there is a factory here. In fact, this is the place where weapons and equipment are made for the League. At the same time, it is also responsible for heating some steam engines that are not suitable for being seen by the vampires. But more importantly What's behind this factory..."
A group of people came to the heavy room door at the innermost end of the factory. With the rolling of the thick chain of the steam engine, a dark room was lit by a dark yellow steam lamp:
"Welcome to the Hunter Workshop."
[You discovered new knowledge. 】
What came into view was a large room of more than [-] square meters, which was decorated with various steam engine equipment.And the most eye-catching thing is a huge cylindrical machine.
Its surface is covered with complex silver lines, full of mottled years.The width of those industrial boards moves and undulates slightly with the operation, and through the gaps on the surface, the group of gears rolling inside can be seen.And a steam blacksmith's table was placed in front of it, and some silver semi-finished weapons were placed on it.
"Is this also a steam engine?"
"To be precise, this is Magic Technology, the great product of the Creator." Norton smiled, and brought Turing to the giant industrial machine, "Mother silver exists here. All our runes And the weapons come from her, the common 'mother' of all Eastern Chapters. Now, put your hands in it."
Norton pulled down a lever, the whole machine clanged and deformed, and opened the shell in an extremely unstable state in Turing's view, revealing a hole.Under the gushing steam, a strip-shaped groove was slowly drilled inside, just enough to put an arm in.
Turing frowned suddenly.
He doubted whether this steam-driven nine-flow technology would cut his hand directly inside, because the groove was full of sharp gears.
"The mother silver will implant rune silver for you, and the rune silver will be integrated into your body, and then turned into your own rune." As if seeing Turing's hesitation, Quinn took a step forward and took off his own Gloves, showing Turing the logo on the back of his hand——
It was a black logo with cascading circles, like a religious tattoo on the back of a white hand.
"What is your rune?" Turing was curious.
"The barrier flickers."
The next moment, Quinn's blue eyes lit up.She swung her arm, and she disappeared before Turing's eyes.It was the end of the room when it reappeared.
Turing people are stupid.
What is the principle?
Space transfer?Quantum mechanics?Or teleport?
"This is impossible……"
"Rune runes endow us with great power. In front of Mother Silver, everything is possible." Norton seemed very satisfied with Turing's shocking gesture.
"You didn't understand what I meant." Turing glanced at Norton, not bothering to explain.
In this era when civilization is hundreds of years behind the real world, they don't understand how terrible space movement is.
The more you know, the more you understand how difficult it is to realize the superpowers in those supernatural stories.Can people travel through space with just one rune?This is a level that countless quantum mechanics experts can't even reach in their lifetime.
"What are its disadvantages? What is consumed? How far is the maximum transmission distance? Have you studied the formula ratio of distance and time consumption? Will there be material disorder?"
Norton, who asked a few words, was stunned for a while, and then looked at Turing with a strange look:
"You...you are actually a heretic?"
Turing: "?"
"He's a surgeon." Quinn walked back, and Turing's words seemed to have moved her. The unhappiness on her face had disappeared, and there was a subtle curiosity in her eyes.
"I can only transmit to what I can see, there can be no barriers in between, so I can't penetrate walls or glass. The maximum distance is two hundred feet. As for the formula ratio... I don't understand it. But the longer the distance The farther you go, the greater the consumption of physical energy. If I move the maximum distance, I can only do it three times in a row, and I will completely collapse."
Having said that, Quinn paused:
"And matter... disorder... disorder, sorry, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence at all."
Turing was lost in thought.
These people have never been baptized by modern science, so they attribute all this to metaphysics and superstition.However, Quinn's "flickering barrier" made him very curious about the "rune technology" of the demon hunter.
"If you describe this...matter disorder in detail, maybe I can answer your question. In return...I'll tell you about my other two abilities." A blush appeared on Quinn's face, she seemed very bad at asking others.
"You still have two abilities?" Turing frowned.
"If you tell me what a 'substance disorder' is, I'll answer your question."
"Cough cough!"
Norton interrupted yet another question-and-answer session between the two:
"Sorry, both. I assume we're here today to welcome a new member?"
Turing shrugged: "Of course."
Quinn didn't speak any more, and her expression returned to calm.
"Then, please, Mr. Gray Fox. It doesn't matter whether you are a scholar who studies 'Heretics' or a surgeon. I believe that after seeing Miss Quinn's rune rune, you should have enough longing for it. There is no one who does not yearn for such power. Of course... this process may be a little painful."
Although there were too many questions about runes, Turing didn't talk too much nonsense, and he knew the answer after experiencing it himself.
It's just that the air that constantly stimulated him made him very vigilant, and as the phantom limb in his body spread to the entire inside of his left arm, he put his hand on it.
"Stay closer, she needs to bring your arm inside."
Turing did so, staying close to the mother silver.
click!
A row of calipers popped up on the side of the groove, and Turing's arm was firmly locked. Numerous gears were locked on the side. As the steam machine roared, his arm was stuck inward by the groove.
The next moment, a surge of purple light lit up inside the machine, illuminating the gear set in the gap.Accompanied by intense pain and tinnitus, Turing felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.But a strong hand held him up:
"Hold on." Quinn's voice sounded a little nervous.
However, Turing ignored the people next to him, because he felt a strong sense of touch attacking his arm, and the phantom limb continued to send high-risk alarms. The increasingly violent pain made him suddenly aware of these irritating elements what exactly is it--
Radioactive material!
He was very aware of the consequences of exposure to strong radioactive substances, and immediately wanted to pull his arm out, but the pain disappeared in an instant, and the roar of the entire machine returned to calm.
It has ended.
He pulled his arm out suddenly, those fragile joints couldn't resist his force at all, and a bunch of small gears and calipers collapsed immediately, and Norton next to him jumped up with a roar, checking the integrity of the mother silver machine for fear that he might break the machine.
Quinn was also a little dazed. She knew that Turing's power was different from ordinary people, but she didn't expect that he could directly destroy the machine.
And Turing looked gloomy looking at the weird lines on the back of his hand.
It was a swirling coat of arms, like a jet-black tattoo.Although it is a vortex, it does not have a smooth shape. It generally looks like a straight polygon, making the whole figure very sharp.
But what he cares more about is the inside of this arm.
The intense radioactive substance highly deformed the tissues in his arm, and a tumor proliferated on the spot and spread between the bones and muscles!
The price of being a witcher is being a cancer patient?
Turing didn't understand, but the sudden health problem caused his mood index to plummet, and his face was already black.
Some radioactive material even went directly into the inside of the left arm.
If it wasn't for distributing a large number of phantom limbs in the body to the left arm, and timely checking for all possible abnormalities, these substances would even flow directly to the whole body.
"What the hell is this..."
Turing uttered a rare swear word, and immediately wanted to let the phantom limb remove the tumor, but a white palm with scars grabbed his wrist suddenly:
"What kind of rune is this?" Quinn asked suspiciously.
"What rune!? The mother silver was almost destroyed by this kid!" Norton wanted to cry without tears, pointing at the mother silver, "Stinky boy, why are you so strong? I was born under her guidance for decades. You killed tens of thousands of demon hunters, but you are the first one to directly destroy her!"
Only then did Turing's attention return to his eyes, and a large number of logical frames were scrambled in front of him. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and did not remove the huge tumor on the spot.
When it was judged that it was cancer, Turing subconsciously wanted to kill it. After all, the fear of cancer has ruled mankind for centuries.
But the thing about tumors is... not really a problem for Turing.
He needs to take a closer look at what the composition of this thing is.According to his current physical condition, there are really not many radioactive substances that can really cause him to get cancer. After all, activity fluctuations are also a radioactive reaction unique to Yaoshen Technology in a sense.
"I can fix it."
"Of course I know it can be fixed! But this is one of the mothers of all of us witchers! You broke her just like that!" Norton blew his beard and stared, then he was taken aback, "Are you here to fix it? You're not a doctor Is it?"
"I also have a little understanding of mechanical principles. What I damaged was only the parts responsible for fixing the subject, and it has almost no direct relationship with the core component mother silver, so I don't think it is difficult. But for breaking her , I apologize."
Hearing Turing's apology, and the bunch of "mechanical words" that sounded very different in his ears, Norton exhaled twice angrily, and his face looked a little better:
"Whether you understand it or not, you are not allowed to touch her again! Look at the back of your hand first... Hey, what kind of rune is this?"
Norton's attention was quickly attracted by the back of Turing's hand, and he grabbed the back of his white hand and looked around.
"Based on my many years of experience, this is definitely a new type of rune... Dude, you can go down in the history books. I'll find a pen to draw it..."
"Shouldn't we look at the ability of this rune first?" Quinn reminded coldly, and Norton immediately patted his head:
"I almost forgot the most important thing... The new hunter has brought me too many surprises. Of course, it may also be frightening."
He glanced at the mother silver scattered with gears, and looked at Turing again:
"So Mr. Gray Fox, do you feel anything now? Greater strength? Faster movement speed? The illusion of controlling others? Or is it the sensitivity to weapons?"
The strength didn't increase, but the tumor got bigger and bigger.
Turing grumbled and grasped it, but didn't feel any change.
However, the origin of this rune is a bit strange. Judging from the superficial medical knowledge of Screenshot Ling, this is not a "rune" at all, but an external appearance, or a symptom.The cancer has spread directly to the back of the hand, and of course it may have started from this figure.But what kind of symptoms can draw such regular graphics?
At least not ordinary cancer, he was already curious.
He immediately opened the technology tree.Sure enough, a brand new gray icon appeared at the bottom:
【Unknown aberrant lesion body】
After further investigation through phantom limbs, Turing made an astonishing discovery——
This thing is gradually connecting with the phantom limb, and there is a certain pulling phenomenon on the phantom limb, which does not involve any technology on the phantom limb, but directly involves the phantom limb itself...
He felt something in his heart, and the "rune" on the back of his hand suddenly emitted a small amount of purple light. Turing's whole body was shocked, and he shuttled back and forth in the silver room like the wind and returned to the original place, feeling the incomparably abundant physical strength all over his body. , suddenly shocked.
This thing is...
"Just ordinary body enhancement?"
Disappointment visible to the naked eye appeared in Norton's eyes, and he shook his head slightly.
Turing smiled and didn't say much.
"This is a new rune, it can't be that simple. Do you have any other feelings?" Quinn was not satisfied with Norton's arbitrariness, and asked Turing with a frown, but his expression had returned to indifference. shook his head:
"I think that's pretty good. I should have proven my normal human status."
"How can this work? Body strengthening is the ability that every hunter will have after possessing runes. It is impossible to only have such an ability, and it will not be able to support combat at all..."
"I can kill vampires without runes."
Thinking of the scene where Turing tore the vampire with his hands, Quinn fell silent.
"Okay, physical enhancement... To be honest, I'm a little disappointed, but what should be recorded is still to be recorded..."
"New rune runes like this one should not draw conclusions arbitrarily. The situation when those new runes first appeared in "Witcher Notes" has been recorded. Maybe the gray fox doesn't know how to use them. They can only use them in battle. Embody really embodies," Quinn said.
Facing Quinn's insistence, Norton could only shrug his shoulders: "Then let's observe for a while... But I'm curious, what kind of 'hunting tools' you can get."
"Even the weapons are given to us by mother silver?" Turing frowned.
"No, that comes from the rune silver in you. It will tell you what is best for you."
Norton smiled mysteriously, and took Turing to another machine.
"Put your hand in, whatever you touch, you take out."
It is a steam machine similar to mother silver, but it is obvious from the appearance that this thing is made of imitation mother silver.According to Norton's mysterious instructions, Turing stretched his hand in, only to feel that something was wrapped in it for a moment, and the cancer cell lesion on the back of the hand became extremely hot.
When he pulled his hand out, a pair of arm gloves made of rune silver had already armed the entire left forearm.
Complicated decorations are all over the top, and some hooks extend outward.The fingertips are sharp, and the back of the hand is perfectly fitted and hollowed out to reveal the focus runes.
He could feel the metal digging deep into the skin and muscle, connecting with the tumor inside, forming another neural contact.After Turing triggered it, the tumor began to proliferate in a large area, and the claw glove was completely detached from the arm. The cancer cell polymer connected to it grew to a high degree, and suddenly lengthened amidst the sound of silver metal rubbing, and grabbed the end of the room. the walls.
"Oh... that's interesting. Looks like you can easily jump over walls or knock off some guys hanging from the ceiling, maybe your runes also have some kind of good mobility function... or physical strength Scalability?"
Quinn nodded at the side, as if thinking that this is what the new rune should look like.
But Turing was thinking about another problem.
How did this magical technology endowed with "hunting gear" get this thing into his hands?
Norton seemed to see through his thoughts, and said mysteriously:
"In fact, most of the hunting gear we build are metal parts, or the hunter's hunting gear is damaged, we will remake the hunting gear. But the things inside the machine... are inheritance."
Turing scratched his left hand and said nothing more.
Obviously, this is a complicated biotechnology, and these people obviously have some kind of technical gap with the machinery they have, or even a gap in understanding.
There will be a chance to learn about it later, but now he wants to study the changes in his arm more by himself.
Because what this thing gave him was not "body strengthening" at all, but "anti-entropy" from phantom limbs.
What he did just now was to impose a layer of anti-entropy state on himself through the weird tumor.This is completely different from using phantom limbs.Directly manipulating the "anti-entropy value" is not a controllable state for the current phantom limb, but through this... rune, or tumor, he can clearly feel the change of "entropy value" on his body, and Change them easily.
This is simply a major breakthrough, a new researchable route...
