Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Doesn't that mean much to you now?

“How do I know if there's any point if you don't say so? ”

Without arguing with the Ark, General Reinhardt said calmly.

“In the ship's sampling depot, three pills were stored, and the observer asked me to bring them here, along with the ship, to the chosen one. ”

Ark: “Show me. ”

“Go through the buffer room and follow the hallway all the way forward, and when it's time to stop, I'll tell you. ”

Under General Reinhardt's guidance, the ark came to the door of the sample bank. It was just as he was about to find a handle or something like that on this alloy door, and that door opened itself.

Sorry to smile, the ark said embarrassingly.

“I didn't think there was electricity here...”

“ …… ”

No response was received from the communication channel. After a dry cough, the ark left these little things at the end of the branch and circled the room with a torch, locking a silver-white metal cabinet in the corner of the room and walking towards it.

This should be it...

With this in mind, the ark reached up and pressed.

With a hint of cold, the original silver-white metallic shell faded and became as clear as glass.

Looking at the change in front of me, the face of the ark came to a surprise.

“This is…”

“A biphasic material, which is not the point. See the three pills in the freezer, each in three colors, red, green, purple, and you can take one of them with you. ”

The three tubes of different colors were detailed, and the ship continued to ask, "Are they useful? ”

“Red is called ‘Awakening', and it strengthens the coupling efficiency of protons and electrons on your somatic mitochondrial lining at the genetic level, as well as the level of activity of coupling proteins, as reflected in metabolism and physical strengthening, making your body healthier and stronger. ”

“Green, known as the ‘venerable', can genetically modify your DNA terminal grains to give you almost endless life. ”

“As for purple… it has no name, but according to the observers, it should correspond to psychic energy. ”

The ark stunned slightly and frowned.

“… Psychic? ”

Seems to see through his thoughts, General Reinhardt smiled slightly and continued.

“I know what you're thinking, but I'm afraid it's a little different from the kind of superpowers you understand. Specifically, it was troublesome to explain, and it was only after I arrived at the center of the galaxy that I realized that in addition to materialists like us, there was a group of evil civilizations in the universe that communicated ‘cosmic consciousness' through individual consciousness and made deals with void. ”

The evil way is okay...

It's just different routes. It's not so demeaning, is it?

Ark: “That means that even if you inject purple medicine, you won't gain the ability to move instantly or smash a planet in one punch? ”

“Looks like you're still awake,” Reinhardt smiled lightly, "even spiritual energy can't be born without transforming you from a low-dimensional organism into a high-dimensional organism, or from an ant to a giant. It means the most, it just lets you talk to the demons in the void... stop talking nonsense and hurry up. ”

Staring at the three pills in front of him, the ark was caught in a tangle.

“Humans work too? ”

“Theoretically, mammals can. ”

“Yes, so we're relatives. ”

“Tsk.”

Huh?

Did this guy just snap?

Forget it, don't hear me.

“Can only use one? ”

“If you don't want to provoke rejection, it's best to keep that greedy idea in check. ”

Red, for the time being, excludes that the Ark has little interest in becoming Superman, and that humans are able to develop to this day not by muscles, but by brains. As for the green and purple colors, he was quite tangled up for a while.

Spiritual energy…

Life…

The front means that he will open the door to a new world, and the back means that he will have endless time to do the research he is passionate about.

And even if we do not talk about it, it is believed that few can reject the temptation of eternal life.

Finally, a decision was made and the ark took a deep breath and asked the last question in its mind.

“By the way, do you have any side effects? ”

“Side effects will be a little bit, probably reducing your fertility. ”

When I heard that, I was about to make a choice, and I almost didn't get choked.

“Cough--! What the hell? This thing... has an impact on that thing?! ”

“Probably a little different from what you think, have you ever heard of reproductive segregation? ”

The ship nodded nervously.

“Heard, what's wrong? ”

“The modification of the genetic code is a very profound discipline, and even we do not fully master it. ”

Suddenly, General Reinhardt continued.

“Technically, using either bottle of red or green, you and your kind are two varieties that are genetically similar but not identical. The chances of hybridizing and reproducing offspring between different varieties, or winning prizes, are naturally lower than the average reproduction behavior. If you want to save time, you can use science to get it in place one step at a time, which is something I would recommend and do more scientifically. ”

Step in place…

Does manual X mean?

Seeing through a hint of hesitation in the face of the ark, Reinhardt's voice carried a hint of drama.

“Do you want more? If you're worried, you can choose to give it to someone else. ”

“… this kind of thing, I'll do it myself. ”

This is a timeless opportunity.

In contrast, reproduction is simply irrelevant.

At most…

Spend more time making people later.

Taking a deep breath, he made a determined ark and reached out and selected the button on the freezer.

The ink green tube dropped gently into the sample slot as the sound rang.

At the same time, there was a slight smile in the communication channel.

“Indeed, you will choose 'the honored’. ”

Ark: “What's so strange about it? ”

“No, if I were you, I'd probably do the same. The strength of the flesh is but a burden, and in the face of eternal time, the mystery is even more invincible. Though you are surprisingly behind, I had no idea that morality was similar to our surprise, perhaps that's why the observer sent me. ”

The Ark did not say anything about General Reinhardt's manoeuvre. In fact, when he made his choice, he actually hesitated for a second to take the purple medicine.

However, since choices had been made, there was no need to say more about them.

“What happens to the two remaining pills? ”

“No matter, you can choose to take it with you or leave it here, but I suggest you destroy it. Genetic modification is a very sophisticated art, not all genes are perfectly compatible, especially genes that are artificially modified, and wrong fusion can lead to severe genetic contamination. ”

“If you intend to give another person another drug to create a progeny that is compatible with both genes, I suggest you get rid of it. Until the two incompatible genes stabilize, you will not only destroy them, but you will also plant a time bomb hidden in your chromosome in your civilization. ”

Is that an exaggeration?

The Ark admitted that he did have that in mind.

But listening to General Reinhardt doesn't seem like a joke, he put it aside for the time being.

He cast his gaze at the tube in his hand and looked at the ominous ink-green mucus shaking in the transparent container, and the ark opened its mouth and asked.

“How do I use it? ”

“Just drink it. ”

Remove the plastic hose attached to the water bag and insert the tube into the test tube port.

Thinking of the reagent, which had been in the freezer for billions of years, even knowing that it had remained essentially intact under the protection of the frozen environment and four-dimensional space debris, it took him a long time to overcome the discomfort and take a deep breath.

The cold and delicate touch followed the esophagus downward, but immediately after that intense burning sensation ran up the respiratory tract from the eyes of the voice, choking so hard that the ark coughed.

Fortunately, this intense discomfort did not last too long. Soon the burning sensation turned into a warm stream, spreading along his chest, washing every cell on and off his body.

And almost at the same time, there was a faint laugh in the communication channel.

“Congratulations, the chosen one, you are now the sole bearer of the ‘venerable' gene. If you can't survive, I suggest you find a way to save some seeds for those who come here later. If I'm right, you probably don't have much oxygen. ”

Ark: “Is there an oxygen cylinder on the ship? ”

“Do you think there's something like that,” with a little mockery in the voice, "and when it took off from the planet of the Coke Empire, it didn't take any creatures, so why would I have to prepare an oxygen cylinder on it? ”

The Ark remembers.

What was sent to the center of the galaxy was just a memory.

General Reinhardt, whom he saw in his void memories, had long died under the siege of the Imperial Army.

“Well... that's really huge. ”

Looking at the desperate ark, Reinhardt slowly continued.

“Can I give you some time? Save the seeds and use the sample cabinet next to you. ”

“No, I'll be back alive. ”

After leaving the sample bank, the ship was almost overturned into the sky.

Despite his rude behaviour, General Reinhardt complied with his covenant with the observer civilization to brief the Ark on the role of each room and facility.

Finally, in a room next to the cockpit, the ark that found what it was looking for stopped.

The dust, which did not exist in Shanna, was gently dusted, and when he looked at the rectangle in front of him, which was clear and shaped like a freezer, he finally had a smile on his face like a relief.

He saw this on the fragments of the four-dimensional space.

It was in a vast cave, where Professor Vernal and Schultz stood with them. Through the debris of four-dimensional space, he even received electromagnetic wave signals from the cave and heard Professor Vernal's speculation about the cubes that had weathered into rocks.

If his guess is correct, this dormant compartment in front of him now is the source of Mars civilization's cryo-dormant technology, as well as the prototype of the dormant compartment displayed in that cave!

“General Reinhardt. ”

“… what is it? ”

“Let's make a bet. ”

“Bet on what. ”

Retrieving his hand from the housing of the dormant compartment, the ark took a deep breath and said slowly.

“Bet I can get out of here alive. ”
