Chapter 133: A single spark can start a prairie fire
Su Jinnian was slightly startled, but did not look back, "It doesn't matter whether it's a human or a demon."
Li Xiang said, "There is an old saying that people who are not of my race will have different hearts."
Su Jinnian was silent for a moment and said, "These volunteers all have family and friends."
Li Xiang was silent.
A sage once said that human beings are the sum of all social relationships.
According to this argument, whether you have a human body or not is not that important.
A researcher came in and placed a glass jar containing a brain on the test bench.
Su Jinnian controlled the micro-robot arm to connect the neural chip the size of a fingernail to the brain.
"The brain's microelectric pulses will be transmitted to the computer's processing center through the microwave transmitter on the chip, and converted into electronic synthesized sounds."
After Su Jinnian explained to Li Xiang, he took off the controller of the robotic arm, looked at the brain in the tank, and asked: "Zhao Kang, how do you feel?"
The brain is motionless.
But the speaker next to him rang: "I'm still a little sleepy, but it's okay. Professor Su, what's the date today?"
Su Jinnian gave a date.
The cold electronic synthesized sound sounded again, "Well, in three days, it will be Tingting's birthday."
The researcher next to him looked at Su Jinnian, and after the latter nodded, he said, "Mr. Zhao, there is something I think it is necessary to tell you."
Zhao Kangdao: "Please speak."
The researcher said: "Our atavism test is one year ahead of schedule. As long as you are over seventeen years old, you can participate. Your daughter has also signed up."
The electronically synthesized voice became louder, "Didn't she get admitted to Kyoto University?"
The researcher said, "She has a recommended quota. As long as she is willing, she can go through the admission procedures now."
"It's just that she wants to become an atavist and join the army, and your wife agrees."
After a long silence, the electronic synthesizer sounded again, "Oh, that girl is very stubborn. No one can stop her from doing anything she wants to do. Where is my wife? How is she doing now?"
The researcher said: "She opened a small shop in Yong'an Town and sold fast food."
The electronic synthesizer sounded, "The food she cooks is always delicious. Is the business good?"
The researcher nodded, "The last time I went there, there was no room, so we had to eat outside the store. Your wife was too busy and was planning to hire a part-time worker."
The electronically synthesized voice said: "Oh, I have been paralyzed for five years. She is the only one who supports this family. I owe them both a lot."
The researcher didn't know how to answer the call.
He thought of the mother and daughter who had suffered so much but were extremely strong, and his eyes became moist.
After a long silence, the electronic synthesized voice sounded again, "Professor Su, is it my turn?"
Su Jinnian said, "Have you thought about it? Before you, 87 volunteers have failed. Once they are brain-dead, not even the Great Luo Immortal can save them."
The electronically synthesized voice said: "During the years when I was paralyzed in bed, I thought about suicide every day."
"But you know, a loser like me can't even commit suicide. I can't hold a knife with my hands, and I don't have the strength to move my mouth. I can't even bite my tongue."
"I eat, drink, and defecate in bed, and torture my wife and daughter every day. You can't understand the pain."
"It was you who gave me, this loser, a chance to choose."
"Instead of dying on the bed like mud, isn't it a better choice to die here?"
The laboratory fell into silence.
Although the electronically synthesized sound contained no emotion at all, Li Xiang still felt the despair that this volunteer named Zhao Kang had experienced.
Su Jinnian spoke again, "But we don't want you to die here, we want you to survive in another identity."
After a moment of silence, the electronic synthesizer sounded again, "In this case, I will try to survive."
"Thank you for giving me, this waste, some value in my existence."
Su Jinnian was silent for a moment and said, "I wish you good luck."
The researcher took away the glass jar, went up the elevator, and came to the water tank containing the Demon King.
The demon king in the water tank has a leopard-like body and five tails. He is a "ferocious beast" recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The researcher carefully placed the glass jar into the Demon King's head and tilted it slightly. Zhao Kang's brain was floating in the Demon King's skull.
A senior physician from the Department of Neurosurgery at Kyoto University School of Medicine controlled the robotic arm to connect Zhao Kang's cranial nerves with those of the Demon King.
This process lasted for more than an hour.
After connecting the last nerve, the doctor took a long breath, nodded to Su Jinnian, and then slumped on the chair as if he had collapsed.
Su Jinnian had a solemn expression: "Each group, report the situation."
"The heartbeat is normal."
"Organs are functioning normally."
"Muscle reflexes are normal."
…
"The security team is ready."
Su Jinnian looked at the huge body of the ferocious demon and slowly said: "The 153rd test of the "Spark" project has begun."
"Initial voltage, 10 volts."
There is a technician who turns the voltage dial and presses the red button.
"The initial voltage of 10 volts has been injected."
There was a weak electric light that lit up at the edge of the water tank, and the current passed through the entire tank of nutrient solution to the monster.
The demon king's body showed no reaction.
Su Jinnian ordered: "Increase the voltage to 30 volts."
The technician increases the voltage.
The demon king's body still didn't respond.
But the researcher next to him reported, "Professor Su, nerve impulses have been detected, but they are very weak."
Su Jinnian was silent for a moment and said, "Add another 20 volts."
The technician was stunned and said, "Professor Su, this exceeds the safe voltage."
Su Jinnian said, "The one opposite us is a demon king. Increase the pressure."
The technician gritted his teeth and increased the voltage.
"Nerve impulse detected."
"There is a muscle reflex in the left hind leg."
"Keep the pressure on!"
60 volts... 80 volts... 130 volts...
The body of the ferocious monster kept trembling.
When the voltage increases to 1500 volts.
The beast opened its eyes suddenly.
Su Jinnian's pupils shrank suddenly.
Some researchers exclaimed, "It's done! We succeeded!"
However, the next moment, the ferocious monster stretched out its body and hit the water tank.
The water tank made of fiberglass was directly damaged.
The nutrient solution flows out gurglingly.
The ferocious monster landed on the ground, got down on all fours, and pounced directly on Su Jinnian in front of him.
Its huge body knocked over the test bench and various instruments, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Su Jinnian.
Su Jinnian gritted his teeth.
The ferocious demon's fangs were clearly reflected on the lenses of her glasses.
"Qiankun Network, go!"
A third-level atavist from the security team offered up a magic weapon.
A giant net instantly covered the ferocious demon.
"receive!"
Qiankun Network shrinks.
However, the next moment, a tail of the ferocious monster stretched out from the net, wrapped around the returnee, and threw him out hard.
The atavist knocked over a row of instruments and his body sank into the wall.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
More than a dozen members of the security team threw special spears at the beast, and the powerful tranquilizer inside was immediately injected.
However, the ferocious monster screamed, its body expanded, and the spear flew backwards.
The third-level atavist's voice was a little panicked, "Professor Su, the experimental subject is out of control, make a decision!"
Sun Yuanpei, who had been silent until now, sighed.
Su Jinnian tightened his grip on the switch in his hand, his eyes full of reluctance.
Dozens of micro bombs have already been implanted in the body of the beast.
Just when she was about to flip the switch.
Li Xiang stepped forward slowly and stood in front of the ferocious demon.
The beast opened its bloody mouth and roared.
Dozens of yin energy emitted from Li Xiang's body and turned into chains, binding the beast.
Li Xiang stretched out his hand, put his middle finger and index finger together, and pressed them on the beast's head.
The rich demonic energy in the ferocious demon's body was sucked out, forming a rotating cyclone at Li Xiang's fingertips.
"He was just corrupted by the evil spirit and temporarily lost his mind."
Li Xiang looked at the cyclone in his hand, "The power of the monster beast not only comes from its physical body, but also comes from the monster energy contained in its body."
He turned around, looked at Su Jinnian, and said, "I hope you won't make such low-level mistakes again in the future."
