Chapter 294 High Temperature Resistance
You should know that the temperature of magma is as high as 1400℃, which is only slightly lower than the melting point of steel. Even metal like copper will be melted immediately when immersed in the magma.
As for the flesh and blood of ordinary people, it will melt and carbonize at 900℃. The crematorium in the funeral home is maintained at 800-900℃ to burn the hardest bones of the human body.
However, Chen Jue's body defense was greatly improved because he had improved his [Red Dust Golden Body Technique] to perfection. In addition, he had practiced [Suzaku Guiding Technique] and the subtle influence of martial arts energy, and he had endured the distorted energy in Suzaku's body, which made his body extremely heat-resistant.
You know, the temperature changes of the martial arts energy and the energy emitted by the Vermillion Bird are higher than that of magma!
It was precisely because of the combination of so many factors that he dared to immerse his hands directly into the bubbling orange-red magma.
Of course, Chen Jue's seemingly absurd and suicidal behavior made John and several experimenters standing nearby all dumbfounded!
Compared to the fact that Chen would never come down without wearing protective clothing, the action of reaching his hand into the magma to soak it was completely beyond the imagination of ordinary humans like John.
At this moment, everyone present, except Chen Jue, felt that their brains were not enough, and that the worldview they had established for so long was about to collapse!
"OMG! Oh my god!"
"Is he going to commit suicide?"
"I can't bear to watch it anymore! His hand is going to be lost!" Several experimenters with weak willpower screamed, and the timid ones simply closed their eyes.
John was trembling all over and stood there not knowing what to do.
After just a few seconds, they miraculously discovered that Chen Jue's arm that was stretched into the magma was not ignited as they had imagined. Instead, there were very faint wisps of black and gray smoke rising from his wrist that was immersed in the magma and eventually melted into the magma.
You know, if an ordinary person puts his arm into the magma, the high temperature of the magma will ignite the skin and fat at the first moment, and then the fire will spread.
But Chen Jue looked like nothing happened!
Moreover, while soaking his hands in the magma, there was no pain on his face at all. Instead, he showed a faint smile.
It felt like he was not soaking in 1400℃ magma, but enjoying the comfort of a hot spring bath!
As for the black and gray smoke, they were the nuclear radiation substances metabolized out of Chen Jue's body. After being catalyzed by the magma, he accelerated the guidance of the martial arts energy in his body through this arm to detoxify.
"God! I feel like I'm having a heart attack! I want to go up and catch my breath!"
"Is he Superman? He stuck his hand into the lava and nothing happened to him!"
“It’s incredible!”
"If only I had a cell phone with me, I could take this picture and post it online and it would definitely go viral !" Several experimenters were staring at the scene in amazement. One of them, who was so curious, even picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and threw it into the magma pool.
After seeing the piece of gravel floating on the surface of the magma and finally being completely melted by the high temperature of the magma, he was sure that he was not mistaken. What he saw in front of him was indeed real magma, not a fake picture made by computer CG.
As for Chen Jue, less than half a minute after he put his hand into the magma, Chen Jue felt that the efficiency of detoxification relying on only one arm was still too low. Compared with the continuous nuclear radiation in the body, it would take at least ten days to detoxify relying on only one arm.
"It's too efficient and a waste of time!" Considering that he was pressed for time and had to return to the flower-growing family to find the experts arranged by the base to solve his doubts, Chen Jue simply pulled out his arm and shook off the lava on his arm.
The splashing magma fell on the rocks, making a hissing sound, which scared John and several experimenters so much that they couldn't help but step back for fear of being splashed by the magma droplets.
If that thing fell on ordinary people like them, it would definitely burn a hole in them!
But Chen Jue looked like nothing had happened. His right arm, which had just been soaked in the lava, was just a little red, not much different from an ordinary person soaking his feet in hot water.
Of course, soaking in magma is not without cost. For example, all the hair on Chen Jue's arms has been burned off, making it look incredibly clean, as if he had undergone laser hair removal.
"John, I'm going to go down and soak for a while. I hope you take care of yourself and don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious." Chen Jue glanced at the middle-aged foreigner who had been stunned for a long time and gave him a threatening look to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape. Then Chen Jue took off his sportswear and jumped into the lava pool with a splash wearing only a pair of shorts.
His crazy behavior made John, who was standing beside him and trembling, feel like his brain was boiling.
In front of a human being like Chen Jue who is comparable to a superman, John would not dare to escape even if he had a hundred iron courages!
Because Chen Jue only needed to scoop up a little bit of magma and pour it up, which would be enough to send an ordinary person like John to heaven.
"Houli Kite! What on earth is his body made of?"
"Steel? Metal? Diamond?"
"With this kind of physical fitness, you can't be considered a human, right?"
"Is he an alien creature?"
"No wonder Eugene was offering a reward for his information like crazy before... Even the new humans who have been injected with drugs can't achieve such physical fitness... Once scientists around the world know about such a perverted existence as him, they will definitely go crazy and want to dissect his body!" John's mind was full of thoughts. The sudden impact of the scene and the collapsed worldview were interfering with his sanity.
After getting into the magma pool, Chen Jue felt relaxed all over. He swam back and forth in the magma pool first, allowing his skin to fully contact the magma. All the pores in his body seemed to open.
The polluted martial arts energy in the body began to become abnormally active under the catalysis of magma, just like the steam in a pressure cooker, running around in Chen Jue's body.
Chen Jue concentrated his mind and energy, using his powerful mental will to control the martial arts energy to pass through the capillaries, directly reach the surface of the skin, and begin to purify the part of the body surface that was in contact with the magma.
As the purification operation progressed, Chen Jue discovered through [inner vision] that the cells in his body that were originally out of control and deformed were gradually returning to normal and becoming stable.
However, this stability only remained at the stage of stem cell transformation. He found that the deformed cells could no longer completely recover to their previous cell state.
"Is the evolutionary process irreversible?" Chen Determined thought to himself.
Fortunately, after a large amount of nuclear radioactive substances were removed from his body, Chen Jue felt a lot more relaxed, and his originally tired and tense heart gradually relaxed.
"Other people who come to Jiaobenji come to soak in the hot springs for health, but I come here to soak directly in the magma. No one else can do that!" Chen Jue was filled with emotion. He took a deep breath and immersed himself in the boiling magma.
…
The entire purification process lasted for a full 20 minutes. When Chen Jue felt that he was almost finished, he swam from the magma pool to the shore. He walked up to the shore step by step and slowly wiped off the magma on his body. All the hair on his body, including his hair, was burned clean.
His whole body was bald, just like a plucked poached chicken in the vegetable market.
As for the attribute panel in Chen Jue's mind, it also changed when he purified the remaining nuclear radiation in his body:
Name: Chen Jue
Lifespan: 500
Strength: 11.06
Agility: 8.02
Physical fitness: 12.62
Brain area: 3.63
Free Attributes: 1.06
New status: [Radiation Resistance] [High Temperature Adaptation]
After taking a look at the restored properties, Chen Jue smiled faintly and thought: "The radiation distortion has finally been controlled, and the life span has been restored! This trip is worth it!"
As the [Radiation Distortion] status after the lifespan column disappeared, all the attributes that originally showed red arrows pointing downward returned to their previous state, and some of them even saw a slight increase.
"There's a new status?" Chen's mind moved, and he took a look at the newly added status:
【Radiation Resistance】: After being exposed to high concentrations of radiation for a long time, your body develops resistance and high tolerance to radiation.
Status level: Level 9
Status Effect: Under the influence of this status, the body's organs, tissues, cells, DNA, and genes are significantly more resistant to interference, destruction, penetration, and other external influences such as nuclear radiation, electromagnetic radiation, and thermal radiation, and can even have a partial immune effect.
[Adaptation to high temperature]: After being in a high temperature environment for a long time, your body develops a certain tolerance to high temperatures.
Status level: Level 8
Status Effect: Under the influence of this status, the body's heat resistance is greatly increased.
Status linkage: [Only Heng is supreme]
Seeing this newly added status effect, Chen Jue was delighted: "Is this a blessing in disguise?"
After deciding to step into the starry sky, the first thing Chen Jue had to face was all kinds of radiation from outer space. With this [Radiation Resistance], he could better adapt to starry sky travel and the special environment of his second home.
As for the other one, [High Temperature Resistance], Chen Jue guessed that it was due to his soaking in the magma pool. It was an unexpected surprise.
…
After looking at the changing attribute panel, Chen Jue shook off the magma liquid on his body. When all the magma on his body was dried, he found that there was a chill under his trouser pocket. After being soaked in the magma pool, the underwear had been burned to ashes.
Chen Jue, who was hanging in the middle, felt his face turn red, and he quickly put on the sportswear that was casually thrown on the ground.
Seeing that John and the experimenters were still standing there stupidly, Chen Jue walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Come back to your senses!"
John shivered all over after being slapped like that. He woke up from his shocked state and forced a false smile towards Chen Jue: "Mr. Chen Jue, your body is really amazing! It can actually withstand the high temperature of magma! This is really... really a miracle of mankind!"
"Stop flattering me and take me to see the clinical trial data you have collected." Chen Jue felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard the other party's flattery and he quickly stopped.
He knew that this white guy had definitely used all his life's flattery skills to survive. But Chen Jue didn't buy it and urged him to go up to the laboratory above the magma pool.
…
Back in the laboratory, John invited Chen Jue to a small office that belonged to him. The furnishings in the office were simple, with only a computer and some scattered paper documents.
"Mr. Chen Jue, do you still remember the first time I invited you and Miss Linglong to meet in my laboratory in Hangzhou?"
"We discussed HeLa cells, meteorites, and the secret of immortality."
"Although this office is not as big as the one in Hangzhou, the information collected inside can definitely be called confidential if it is kept outside!" John wanted to take advantage of the scene of their last meeting to get closer to Chen Jue, but he didn't expect to get a round of cold eyes.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
"I don't have the patience to reminisce with you here."
"Pull out the information about that new human plan, as well as the clinical trial data." Chen Jue said coldly with an expressionless face.
After being cheated by this white ghost once, Chen Jue had long lost his patience with him. If he didn't see that he was still somewhat useful, Chen Jue would have wanted to kill him with one palm when he saw this guy in the castle before.
Seeing that Chen Jue was unmoved, John remembered how he walked out of the lava, and felt that Chen Jue now was no different from the devil from hell in Western legends.
Isn't it that wherever the devils from the West go, the air is filled with the smell of magma and sulfur?
John couldn't help but shiver again when he thought of this. He hurriedly tapped on the keyboard and looked up the information related to that medicine on the computer.
"Mr. Chen Jue, all the information is here! I hope you can let me go after reading it... I am just a small director of Hongmu Group and never get involved in Eugene's family's tricks... I have never had any grudges against you..." John wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped aside, and kept muttering his desire to survive.
The reason why he was sweating was because of the body heat radiating from Chen Jue. The temperature in the entire office rose slightly.
This is just like when an ordinary person takes a hot shower, the body will continue to dissipate heat. However, Chen Jue did not take a hot shower, but a lava bath, so the residual heat radiating from his body was a bit unusual.
"Shut up!" Chen Jue gave the other person a cold look, then took the mouse and looked at the information on the computer.
"New Human Project... Type X1 Medicine... Clinical Trial Data Analysis Report..." As he flipped through the documents page by page, Chen Jue's brows began to frown slightly.
According to the information on the computer, the United States started similar human enhancement experiments long after the moon landing in the last century.
In addition to this so-called new human plan, the Pentagon has previously established several super soldier projects in order to achieve military victory in the Cold War of the last century.
However, these projects were all shelved due to their slow progress until the Hongmu Group came to them with their research on life-saving minerals, and they began to restart these projects.
As for why the laboratory was set up in Jiaobenji, in addition to being able to cooperate with Jiaobenji's gangs to conduct human experiments in secret, the person in charge of designing the project also took a fancy to Jiaobenji's medical technology.
But when Chen Jue turned to the clinical trial data, a surge of anger rushed into his mind.
Because this clinical trial data not only includes data on the X1 type drug, but also contains a large amount of data on human experiments by the chicken.
The sources of these human experiment data are extremely old, and many of them took place during the Second World War in the last century. I will not go into details about the subjects of the experiments.
"Do you have a USB drive?"
"Give me a copy of this information." Although Chen Jue was a true saint in the world, he almost couldn't suppress his anger after reading these inhumane human experiment data.
"Yes! I have a USB drive!" John responded hurriedly from the side and found a USB drive to copy the data into it.
After Chen Jue received the USB drive, he didn't say anything else, but left the office expressionlessly, leaving John alone in a mess.
"He didn't kill me!"
"Thank goodness! God bless you!" John felt somewhat fortunate. When he thought of President Kawada who had his neck cut by Chen Jue, he felt that he had escaped from the devil. All his strength seemed to be drained away, and he collapsed on the office chair.
Looking at the data displayed on the computer screen, the illustrations of human experiments, and the old photos inside, John, who originally thought he had escaped, suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because in the next second, John felt the entire office shake slightly, followed by a shrill alarm echoing in the underground laboratory.
Mount Fuji, which had been calm for over three hundred years, suddenly began to move without any warning!
