Chapter 158 Black Ghost
Su Xia does not agree with this experiment.
Through Dr. Aigar's notes, he did see the infinite possibilities of life, but he also saw the suffering of those experimental subjects and the various crises hidden behind it.
After writing the answer, Su Xia entered the independent small room next door as usual and took out the red crystal.
Using the crystal, the familiar scene appeared again.
In the laboratory, countless researchers were walking back and forth, and the sounds of wailing and screaming in pain gradually became clearer.
Subject No. 28 in the culture tank has not yet awakened .
It seemed that it was going to keep pretending until Mercer left.
With Mercer's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to think of the possibility that the experimental subject was pretending to be asleep, but perhaps he was too confident, or perhaps he was reluctant, so he hesitated to take action on Experiment No. 28.
This experimental subject is even more perfect than No. 27. Once awakened, he will possess psychic powers exceeding level 4.7, which is enough to verify the feasibility of this evolutionary path.
Yu Tuo was on the other side of the screen and did not communicate with Moser.
He was in a separate lab room.
There are no flesh and blood biological experimental subjects in this room, only a cold mechanical clone.
This clone was lying on the experimental table, with more than ten data transmission lines connected to its body, and the experimental instruments next to it clearly displayed various data.
“Crack—”
Yu Tuo took out the metal protective plate from the clone's abdomen, revealing its internal structure.
He then controlled the robotic arm to remove the special screws from the key parts of the clone, and then took off the parts one by one. His movements were smooth, as if he had done it thousands of times.
Su Xia stood beside him and watched for a while, realizing that he was planning to manually upgrade this clone.
On the computer nearby, the upgrade results of this clone are being simulated.
Before the upgrade, it was just an ordinary humanoid structure.
After upgrading, it can transform between human form and cheetah form. The two forms have different focuses, and the alloy properties used in key parts are also different.
"Transformers?"
Somehow, Su Xia suddenly thought of that movie.
Today's mechanical race is already capable of achieving similar effects.
In this experimental area alone, Su Xia saw several different mechanical creatures, some of which could transform between multiple forms.
This ability is quite practical and can be used in the wild on complex terrain or in collapsed buildings.
After looking at it for a while, Su Xia couldn't get any important information, so he took off the red crystal.
This thing cannot be used for too long every day, so save it if possible.
He checked the time and it was almost seven in the morning.
"It's time to go."
Today I have to go to the Coral City Office Building to take up my post and experience what it feels like to be an official.
Su Xia changed his face to that of a handsome young man in his twenties and left the underground area.
Change to one elevator after another, all the way up.
"bite--"
The second to last elevator door opened.
To Su Xia's surprise, there was a woman standing in front of the elevator.
The woman had wheat-colored skin, a tall figure, and long legs. She was even half a head taller than Su Xia.
This was the first time Su Xia met other people underground. This elevator was only available to a very small number of people, and ordinary members could only accept tasks on the underground floor.
He raised his head slightly and met the woman's eyes.
The two sides' eyes looked away instantly after they met.
Su Xia walked out of the elevator, and the woman walked into the elevator, and the two passed each other.
The elevator door slowly closed.
…
The woman went down all the way, and her route was exactly the same as Su Xia's.
After changing elevators six times, we finally arrived at the deepest safe house.
She walked into the living room, casually lay down on the sofa, put her legs on the coffee table, closed her eyes, and sensed carefully.
"The same aura..."
In the air of the living room, she caught the same scent as Su Xia, who had just passed by her.
She opened her eyes and waved her hand, and the information flew into her hands.
As expected, many questions at the end of the document were answered.
The handwriting is the same as the answer in the previous document, so it can be confirmed that it was written by the same person.
“So young.”
She recalled Su Xia's appearance just now, and she was clearly only in her twenties.
In her imagination, the person who could answer these questions should be an evil, old, crazy scientist who often conducted experiments on Zerg and Terran.
But Su Xia was so young that she began to doubt her own judgment.
Her eyes stayed on the neatly written words. She read down line by line and soon finished reading Su Xia's answer.
These answers clearly require years of experimentation and knowledge accumulation to arrive at.
"Why does this young human know all this knowledge?"
…
Su Xia had already left the tavern and went to a breakfast shop as usual, using the smell of fireworks to wash away the dust on his body.
He bought two big meat buns and a cup of soy milk and ate them while walking.
After eating, I just returned to the pharmacy.
Although it was not yet half past seven, the two brothers were already sitting by the window, concentrating on making medicine.
Hong Bafu has reached the critical stage of becoming a fourth-level alchemist. He almost succeeded last night. Today he is determined to succeed. His fat face is full of concentration. He seems to have entered a state of selflessness and he didn't even notice Su Xia coming back.
He didn't notice it until the potion bottle in Su Xia's hand exploded with a bang, splashing the potion onto his workbench.
"Brother Su, why did you come back just now?"
Hong Bafu's eyes lit up, and he approached Su Xia and asked mysteriously, "Did you spend the night at a girl's house last night?"
Su Xia shook her head: "No, brother, you think too much."
Hong Bafu was shocked and asked in disbelief: "Did she spend the night with a man?"
Su Xia: “…”
He found that Lan Bafu was also looking at him expectantly, as if he wanted to hear some explosive news from him.
It’s a pity that dad is refining medicine on the second floor. If dad was on the first floor, the two brothers would definitely be much more restrained.
Su Xia thought of a random excuse to put them off, and then said, "Hurry up and make the medicine. The teacher doesn't give you much time."
"Hey, I'm almost there."
Hong Bafu shook the potion bottle in his hand, appearing very confident: "Now it depends on who of you two breaks through first, especially you, brother Su. You have more and more things to do now. What if you can't break through next week..."
Su Xia smiled and said, "Maybe today?"
"Brother Su, have you come to an epiphany again?"
"No."
"Then let's be steady and try to get it out next week."
Lan Bafu also said: "Brother Su, proceed step by step, don't go astray, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions."
Both of them took good care of Su Xia. They hoped that Su Xia could grow up quickly, but they were also worried that Su Xia would go astray.
Under normal circumstances, Su Xia is indeed still a little short of the mark.
Even if one directly entrusts the body to the bracelet and lets this body refine medicine day and night, it will probably take several days to refine a third-level potion.
But Su Xia just happened to get that book of experience, and he had so much experience that it was about to overflow.
The bottle explosion just now was a bold attempt of his.
"Time is running out, let's stop chatting and continue refining the medicine!"
Hong Bafu glanced at the morning light outside the window and took the initiative to end the topic.
At this critical moment, he was countless times more serious than usual.
The pharmacy fell silent once again, save for the occasional sound of exploding bottles.
"Bang!"
The bottle in Su Xia's hand exploded again, and the slag was scattered all over the ground.
But the feeling grew stronger.
When he just became an apprentice pharmacist, Hong Bafu told him that refining medicine is all about finding a feeling, and as long as you find the feeling, you can refine it smoothly.
Last time he found the right feeling and refined a second-level potion.
After that, he has been practicing the refining of second-level potions.
This time...
With the help of countless experiences, Su Xia's movements became more and more smooth. The glassware in his hands seemed to have life and actively cooperated with him.
Su Xia threw the previous method of reading by rote behind him.
Not only was he trying to refine a third-tier potion, he was even trying to optimize some steps in the potion's formula.
Optimizing the formula is something only a master alchemist would dare to do.
But he just started trying.
When Su Xia was refining, those experiences sparkled with the light of wisdom, as if countless sages were standing beside him, giving him guidance and telling him what to do.
Every failure will open the door to success for him.
So success is getting closer...
Before I knew it, two hours had passed.
Su Xia didn't even feel the passage of time.
It seemed as if Yu Hong Bafu was chatting with Lan Bafu the moment before, and the next moment there was a pile of discarded materials in front of him.
It only took a blink of an eye.
When he came to his senses, he had a pitch-black potion in his hand.
At this moment, Hong Bafu on the side suddenly jumped up, and the whole floor shook after he fell down. His face flushed red, and he shouted excitedly: "I did it! I did it! Haha..."
Lan Bafu looked up in shock and looked at Hong Bafu in disbelief.
Although he had expected this, he didn't expect this guy to be able to make a breakthrough so quickly today.
In Hong Bafu's hand, there was a fourth-order healing potion of pure color. With the bonus of his own talent, it could be regarded as a miracle medicine outside.
The fourth-level pharmacists are among the top few in the entire Coral City.
“Crack…”
The door to the second floor opened.
Dad walked out of the room, slowly went downstairs, and looked at Hong Bafu with a little more relief in his eyes.
When Gu An started out, he was already a fourth-rank pharmacist.
Now, finally another disciple has reached this stage.
Hong Bafu tightly grasped the potion, his fat body trembling with excitement, and said to his father: "Teacher, I succeeded!"
"Yes, well done."
A smile appeared on Dad's lips.
He seldom praises anyone, so saying this shows that he is truly happy now.
He walked towards the three people and was about to take the healing potion from Hong Bafu, but he inadvertently saw the black potion in Su Xia's hand.
"Hmm? Black Phantom?"
