1769 Broken Finger
A momentter, the energy conversion magic array was set up, and Fang Heng stood up again.
“It should be fine. Let’s give it a try.”
Fang Heng nodded at Charlene.
Charlene’s expression also became serious.
“Alright.”
The two of them immediately went forward together.
“Buzz…”
Fang Heng activated the energy conversion alchemy magic array.
A steady stream of energy was converted from the magic array, and the supply was activated.
The lights in the research hall on the second floor gradually lit up, and the experimental equipment in front of them was activated.
The experiment cabin behind the tempered ss door also emitted a faint yellow light.
“Ka…”
A slight noise came from the experiment cabin. The mechanism on the stone box was unlocked.
Charlene stood beside Fang Heng and ced her hands in front of her, forming a hand seal.
The lid that was originally tightly covering the stone box slowly rose into the air under the control of Charlene’s psychic power.
Fang Heng could clearly see a small finger inside the stone box!
Remains!
Fang Heng and Charlene turned to look at each other, and they saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.
“Okay, let’s begin.”
Fang Heng pressed the start button on the mechanical device.
“Pfft!!!”
White gas immediately spewed out of thepletely sealed experiment cabin.
The gas filled the entire sealed experiment cabin.
The severed finger was also exposed to the gas.
“The situation doesn’t seem right.”
The gas was maintained for a while. Charlene kept flipping through theboratory notes in her hand, looking up from time to time topare the state of the remains. Finally, she shook her head and signaled Fang Heng to press the stop button of the instrument.
Fang Heng stopped the gas and turned to look at Charlene.
He had long found it strange.
Why wasn’t there any movement after spraying the gas for a long time?
The analysis data on the other instrument had been disying nil fluctuations.
It was obviously abnormal.
He was sure that the problem was not with the instrument.
“Is there a problem with the operation steps?”
Charlene shook her head.
The experiment steps were very simple and no problems could ur.
In theory, they only needed to release special gases.
This gas could quickly awaken the virus residing in the severed finger.
Why was there no movement at all?
Either the gas had lost its effect because it had been too long, or…
She looked up and observed the broken finger in the stone box through the tempered ss. She said, “Fang Heng, based on my judgment, there is no problem with the operation steps and the mechanical operation. I’m afraid the problem lies with the severed finger.”
“Too much time has passed. The virus on the broken finger might have entered a dormant state. It’s even possible for it to diepletely.”
“I understand. The virus has entered a dormant state, so the machine is unable to identify the active virus in the corpse.”
Fang Heng looked at therge experimental machine at the side, thought for a moment, and then suggested, “Speaking of which, both of us have the H virus in our bodies. Why don’t I lie down and try?”
“It’s useless.”
Charlene shook her head and said, “The various adjustments of the instrument are all aimed at the virus of the corpse. If we go in, the data will definitely be wrong.”
Fang Heng scratched his head, feeling a little lost.
“There is another way.”
“What?”
“Thepound that caused the virus to react. The corpse virus in the sarcophagus also fell into a dormant state due to the passage of time. We used thepound to awaken the virus.”
Charlene nodded and continued, “There should still be some left on the members of the ck Castle.”
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up and he replied, “Understood. I’ll go offline and ask.”
…
Three hourster, Fang Heng returned to the game with thepound fragments he had obtained from ck Castle.
The two of them restarted the experiment.
Through the ss screen in front of her, Charlene used her psychic power to control thepound fragment to float in the air, slowly approaching the severed finger in the stone box until the entirepound touched the corpse.
Still no effect.
The severed finger was motionless and ity quietly in the stone box.
Fang Heng frowned and asked, “Still not working?”
“Not enough.”
Charlene nced at the slight numerical fluctuations on the mechanical instrument and revealed a regretful expression.
“There was a slight fluctuation of data on the device just now. I think it’s because this portion of the corpse is too small, and the number of viruses in it is rtively small. In addition, too much time has passed, and the viruses have fallen into deep hibernation and cannot be fully activated.”
“You mean we need morepounds?”
“Yes, at least double.”
Charlene said as she sighed in her heart.
“I’m afraid I can’t do it.”
The difficulty of the game was obvious.
It took a long time for ck Castle to find Tong Jia’s project team in the real world to study thepound.
It was impossible to find other ways.
Of course, if they were given more time, they might be able to find other ways to obtain it.
But now, there was not enough time.
The Federation would arrive soon.
What a pity.
However, Charlene felt that it wasn’t a loss.
At least after this experience, she got to know Fang Heng.
Charlene’s gaze returned to its usual coldness and said, “Fang Heng, give up. We’ve already tried our best. Before we leave, can you dismantle the machinery here and bring it out of the game? We can think of another way after we leave this ce.”
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
Good idea!
He might as well move the entire device back to the real world!
However, he still needed to go back and forth between reality and the game.
It was a very physically exhausting job.
Other than that, the machinery would definitely be damaged during the process of dismantling and reassembling.
Most importantly, the disassembled machinery was still alright. It could be transported back and forth through the warp backpack. But the corpse was very likely a special item that could not be ced in the backpack.
“That’s possible, but I still want to try onest time.”
“Hmm?”
Charlene looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
There were other methods?
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the instrument. He asked, “What if I have a way to get more simtors?”
“You can?”
“Yes, from the Federation.”
Fang Heng happened to have heard Tan Guangbin mention that the Federation had stored a portion of stimntpounds.
He quickly ryed what Tan Guangbin had said to Charlene.
“No, Fang Heng, the risk is too great.”
Charlene shook her head and rejected Fang Heng’s idea, “The Federation has strict risk control over items. Even if it’s only a C-level item, they will definitely investigate it.”
“It wasn’t stolen, and the Federation probably doesn’t know the specific function of the simtor either. So, I’ll think of a way to find a recement.”
Charlene frowned. She felt that Fang Heng had underestimated the Federation.
Sneaking into the Federation’s research institute to steal experimental materials? How could it be so easy?
“I don’t rmend you to do that.”
Fang Heng calcted in his heart and nodded, “I know the risks.”
“If you insist on doing it, you must be careful. It’s best to contact the ck Castle and ask them to assist you.”
“Indeed.”
Fang Heng nodded.
Asking for help from the ck Castle would naturally help him share some of the pressure.
However, it would also easily expose his ability to enter and exit the game.
He had to choose carefully and as soon as possible.
The Federation had already begun to repair the spatial copse.
It would be best if he couldplete it tonight!
