It wasn't because of how powerful this thing was, but because it solved one of his doubts.
The Devouring Beast has a brain, internal organs, and a neural network. If it hits these fatal parts, it will freeze to death.
If it weren't for the energy seeds that provide energy to repair the body, they would be no different from ordinary animals.
So the question is, since there are already so many weaknesses, why did the fatal part of the spirit breath seed evolve? It would be too luxurious to just store energy to restore the body, right? It obviously does more harm than good.
If this energy is stored in body cells, with the recovery power of the pole beasts that can bring the dead back to life, they can even achieve instant recovery like Wolverine. This method of recovering while fighting will, relatively speaking, reduce the combat ability.
More powerful.
The component of the Spiritual Breath Seed is completely unnecessary.
It wasn't until he took out the spiritual breath seeds of the metamorphosis-type pole-devouring beast, the Calyx Beast, and then compared it with the metamorphic type that Mu Chenxing solved this doubt.
The Spiritual Breath Seed is the real body of the Extreme Devouring Beast, and the other body structures are like its coat, or an exoskeleton mecha made of biological cells.
They will instinctively absorb the essence of life, promote the evolution of spiritual breath seeds, and then drive the transformation of the external body.
Perhaps there are some steps in the actual operation such as ecological cycles. For example, the pan-eating polar beast cannot evolve itself and needs the promotion of the Mana Flower;
Or a single entity cannot gather enough energy for evolution, and the group needs to work together to complete the evolution of some individuals first;
Or perhaps the pole-devouring beast cannot achieve sexual reproduction and can only spread scarlet pigment to infect other creatures to cultivate spine voodoos, which then complete the parasitism and give birth to new spiritual seeds and become new pole-devouring beasts.
The process may be a bit complicated, but in essence, the Mana ecology is a parasitic ecology, the spiritual energy seeds are the key, and the external body is just a tool to ensure evolution.
At first, underground vines appeared on the surface on a large scale, spreading countless spores to parasitize the surface ecology. Humans, animals, and plants were all their parasitic targets.
The products of the genetic technology of the old world gave these underground creatures a ladder to take off. The two sets of ecologies gradually merged. First, the Flower of Mana appeared, and then various pole-devouring beasts appeared. The original spores also evolved into the current spiritual beings.
Seeds.
It only took a few decades for Mana Ecology to occupy the entire earth.
The achievements of human genetic technology were perfectly absorbed by them, and they successfully opened a better evolutionary path. In addition to not giving birth to higher intelligence, Mana creatures are indeed physically more powerful than humans and evolve at an astonishing speed.
"Very interesting creature."
Mu Chenxing held a fist-sized spiritual breath seed and stood next to the calyx beast's corpse, which was nearly two stories high. His expression of joyful sigh made several other hunters think that this man was a bit perverted.
But he was really happy because he had found a new evolutionary route, one that could support a civilization.
The genetic fusion of the Eternals also has a good idea.
Isn't it worth being happy?
Although it is of no use to improve his own strength for the time being, at this stage, it is really not that easy to become significantly stronger, at least in low-level civilizations, the gains will not be too great.
"Another big guy is here." Mark just heard the crawling movement inside the building and gave a decisive warning because he knew that it was the second calyx beast.
"Here comes another new material, not bad." Mu Chenxing's words were very pretentious, but the other seven people didn't think there was anything wrong.
The lobby on the first floor of Nirvana Company covers several thousand square meters, and there are hundreds of pole-devouring beasts lurking there, but this man just raised his finger, and more than a hundred spiritual breath seeds were piled at his feet.
"I have an idea. I wonder if you can accept the biological cloak?" Mu Chenxing ignored the calyx beast approaching the hall, but turned to ask several other hunters, focusing on Elon.
"What is the biological coat?"
Mark's doubts are also everyone else's doubts.
Mu Chenxing knocked on his powered armor and replied: "This thing is constructed of biological cells."
In fact, implanting spiritual breath seeds into the body can exert more powerful power, but this method is prone to mental pollution, and humans are not able to accept the behavior of themselves or their kind transforming into monsters, even if they can transform back into humans again.
Body shape will also cause rejection.
Therefore, it is better to make it into armor type equipment.
"Fighting while wearing a Devouring Beast? It's so disgusting!" Erica felt goosebumps all over her body.
Others are also a little averse to the cold, and they are indeed capable of eating extreme beasts.
"It can't be considered a mistake if you understand it this way." Mu Chenxing did not explain his thoughts in detail. He just gave an empty explanation. It is estimated that they would not understand.
He waved his hand: "Come on, let's find a place to test it, and you will understand."
As he waved, a spirit seed flew out from inside the building, and there was a sound of a giant falling to the ground. Mark knew that the second calyx beast was also dead.
Everyone followed Mu Chenxing as they walked into the building, passing through corridors one after another. The overall environment was very dark and messy. All kinds of books and objects were scattered on the floor, as well as collapsed construction debris and accumulated debris accumulated over decades.
Dust, as well as the remains of flesh and earth and human skeletons.
There is no shortage of what the apocalypse should be like here. The only thing that can make people less nervous is that there is no pursuit by the Devouring Beast.
Along the way, they passed by exhibition halls displaying various products.
It is a showcase of the achievements of genetic technology and medical technology.
Following Master Mu's explanation, they had a clearer understanding of the genes and medical technology of the old world.
Optimizing genes does not require only the public to have breeding rights like a lighthouse. Genetic coding technology can be used to eliminate dominant genes for hereditary diseases.
Strengthening telomeres can increase lifespan and maintain youth.
Strengthening mitochondria can improve physical fitness.
Increasing hemoglobin content can provide you with more energy.
Wait wait wait.
It's all science.
Science in the old world was so advanced!
Gained more knowledge.
Nirvana Company has strong technical capabilities and a wide range of products. They also discovered an artificial heart and a white mouse that has lived for nearly a hundred years.
The ear of this little thing has an experimental code from the old era. Master Mu said that this is an antique that survived from the old world and belongs to the research material of the genetic laboratory.
In the end, Erica forcibly appointed this little guinea pig as her pet.
"Pets? There are no pets in the lighthouse, only spare rations." Old Elon joked.
"Hmph, I won't eat it, I will raise it." Erica closed her visor angrily. Animals that are not poleeaters are really rare, so she is reluctant to eat them.
The matter of genetic enhancement has almost been explained. Mark has a deep understanding of his own genes. Mu Chenxing has also analyzed a lot of technology in this world. He believes that this is the way out for the spirit cage world, so he is willing to spend time to guide the local people.
people’s thinking.
As for the Nirvana Company's pure body organ containers that were exactly the same as Mark's when he was a child, they could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and there was no need to visit them. He destroyed the building where they were located from a distance.
It doesn't matter whether Mark is the original body or a clone. Let this secret be buried in the dust of history.
Mu Chenxing had no interest in pursuing the matter.
He led everyone to look around, and when he came to an empty hall, he stopped. He had finished watching the Nirvana Company's product exhibition, and it was time to make biological armor.
"Mr. Elon, are you willing to cooperate with my experiment? Don't worry, I only need to provide some somatic cells, and after the finished product is manufactured, I can test the performance of the weapon as a driver."
"no problem."
Elon happily agreed to Mu Chenxing's request. Anyway, he would be alive in a few days, so just give it a try. At worst, he would die now.
The basic material of the biological armor is a fusion of Calyx's cells, Elon's cells, and Mark's cells.
The fusion process has gone through billions of calculations by Qiyuan, as well as abundant bioenergy provided by Mu Chenxing, using Mark's genes as a bridge to link the genes of Elon and Calyxus, and fuse them into new embryonic stem cells.
This kind of totipotent stem cells are universal cells that can differentiate into any tissue and organ.
This process alone would have taken prenuclear civilizations decades to grapple with, but it only took him a few minutes.
The basic material was determined, and the design of the body incorporated Elon's physical data and combat habits, and adopted the old man's opinions and aesthetics, and was finally manufactured by Void Controller.
Watching parts appear out of thin air one by one, a two-meter-tall humanoid battle armor with blue-gray bone armor on the outside and thick muscle fibers and various biological structures on the inside was finally constructed.
All the hunters were stunned.
"Don't tell me this is science, I will think that the Lord of Light and Shadow is nothing!" Mo Cheng does not believe in God, but he feels that he may have the potential to become a believer.
Several others had similar thoughts.
They simply couldn't classify what they were seeing as science.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is no different from magic or miracles. Don't be surprised." Mu Chenxing explained casually.
Then he took out a calyx beast's spiritual breath seed, thoroughly scanned the thought fluctuations of this thing, used consciousness rewriting technology to erase the extremely weak consciousness contained in it, and established the relationship between Elon's thought fluctuations and the spiritual breath seed.
Link.
This is the energy core of the biological armor, which allows the armor to absorb the life essence and continue to evolve. It can also feed the life essence back to the driver, which can not only restore injuries, but also promote genetic evolution.
In fact, the thought fluctuations in the Spiritual Breath Seed are not very powerful. Humans can control the biological armor without this step. They just need to choose people with strong will.
The main operation method of this armor is three-dimensional brain-computer integration technology, and the auxiliary operation is bioelectrical conduction.
Establishing a mental link with the Spiritual Breath Seed is not a necessary condition.
Mu Chenxing first used Elon's cells to build his body, and now he has erased the consciousness of the spirit seeds and completed the thought link. He just wanted to make the operation more sensitive and smooth during the experiment.
Making exclusive equipment for Elon is just incidental.
Place the spirit breath seeds between the chest and abdomen of the biological armor, and the carapace and muscle tissue will automatically split and be sucked into the body. The energy center is in place, the "V"-shaped visual system on the head emits light, and the body is activated at the moment
, Old Elon exclaimed.
"Huh? Why do I feel like I have an extra body? No, I can't control it. I can just feel its position."
"In order to prevent accidents, the nerve center of the biological armor is incomplete and has no brain. It cannot make any actions without being connected to the driver."
Mu Chenxing went around to the back of the armor and pressed the third and seventh joints of the spine. The entire biological armor quickly deflated like a deflated rubber ball.
The outer armor began to deform, and finally assembled into a bone storage box that was seventy centimeters high, forty centimeters wide, and forty centimeters thick.
"Mr. Elon, let's try dressing up." The biological armor is not like a three-dimensional one, where you need to lift the shoulders and neck and then jump into the cockpit, but a deformed dress.
Elon weighed the weight, frowned and muttered: "It's too light, only less than thirty kilograms. For such a big man, the weight is so light, is the protection enough?"
"You will understand after you put it on." Mu Chenxing did not explain the principles of energy recharge, cell regeneration, etc. If it were not for the protection of the spiritual energy seeds in it, these amounts would not be needed.
The scientific principles cannot be explained clearly to a veteran. Once he tries the performance, he will know the benefits.
Elon stood next to the storage box and yelled: "Get dressed!"
The corners of Mu Chenxing's mouth twitched a little. He is seventy years old, how can he be so middle-aged?
There is no need to shout at all, just complete the scan and confirm your identity.
With Old Elon's roar, the bone box opened up in the air, and the life essence released by the spiritual breath seeds was like a thick fog, completely surrounding the driver. There was a sound of muscle squirming and armor collision.
Just two or three seconds later, the two-meter-tall biological armor appeared again.
Covered with all bone armor, filled with thick muscle tissue, with the spiritual breath seeds of the transformed pole-eating beast as the core, the body's strength exceeds five tons, immune to light weapons, damage reduction from heavy weapons, electromagnetic guns and below cannot be fatal, and the energy is sufficient.
, the body can be repaired without any restrictions.
There are four ion jets on the back, which can achieve maneuverable flight. There are jet afterburners behind the elbows to enhance attack power. The arm guards and leg guards have discharge devices to improve medium and short-range strike capabilities.
It is completely in line with Elon's fighting habits.
ASH's brain-computer integration technology, Nirvana's cell regeneration technology, and the Calyx Beast's own biological abilities have created this evolvable biological armor.
Bromine fog, infrasound waves and mental interference were abandoned. The former requires cannibalism, and the latter two cannot cooperate with human troops. However, it retains the function of long-range energy transmission and can establish energy links with other biological mechas.
"I feel a lot stronger." Elon made a fighting stance, then punched, kicked, stepped, and dived. His momentum was fierce and his movements were smooth. He laughed and praised: "It's very agile, not heavy.
Three-dimensional motion delay."
"I'll try jumping and balancing again." He liked this mecha even more.
He squatted down slightly and jumped up. For some reason, the ion jet behind his back suddenly started to activate, and the blue-gray machine jumped up to a height of more than eight meters with a "whoosh", and stuck one end on the roof of the shed.
His limbs swayed softly for a few times, looking like a hanged man.
