Volume 2 Test Site No. 1 Chapter 46: Human Family
The huge size of the Qingfeng was suspended in the air, blocking the sunlight in the sky, making the place where the elf tree was on the ground look as if night had fallen even during the day.
At the same time, a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates combined into a series of digging equipment, digging downwards along the edge of the huge elf tree.
The large number of elves surrounding the area saw their own elven trees being dug up by the roots, but they all had smiles on their faces as they watched the huge machine digging downwards.
Those who don’t know might think that these elves are crazy.
In the past, if any facility was built next to the elf tree, the elders would argue till their brains were exhausted. But now, even though it’s such a big thing, they seem to be indifferent.
Lin Xu ignored them and returned to the Qingfeng to hide away. Otherwise, if he was on the ground, he would definitely be surrounded by the elves again.
It was not until the autonomous mechanical aggregate finally dug out the location of the laboratory and began to dismantle the ten thousand year old laboratory alloy shell that Lin Xu followed the excavated deep pit and entered the underground.
It was still a familiar process. The outer shell of the laboratory was dismantled, and a confrontation was established between the autonomous machinery inside. Then Lin Xu arrived and resolved the confrontation.
Lin Xu brought Miss Qiu into the laboratory, and Qiming took over the control of the laboratory and the database.
Soon, Qiming searched the database for information and successfully obtained the information left in the bioengineering laboratory.
"How is it? Does it work?" Lin Xu was a little nervous when he asked this question. After all, how could he not be excited if he could increase his lifespan to three thousand years or even longer.
If he could really live for three thousand years, plus the time of hibernation, it would be enough for Lin Xu to extend his life to nearly one hundred thousand years later. That would be a huge improvement, and Lin Xu would be more confident in finding the people on Earth.
"We have found the technical data on how to upgrade existing human genetic technology. After the upgrade, human be increased to 5,000 years." Qiming replied.
"Five thousand years? Okay, okay." Lin Xu nodded with satisfaction. It was two thousand years more than three thousand years. How could he not be satisfied?
After calming down, Lin Xu noticed another problem.
"The database only contains technical information for upgrading existing genetic technology, right?"
"Yes, it is not the complete set of genetic technology information. If an alien civilization obtains this upgrade information, it will not be able to digest and absorb it without human's pre-genetic technology." Qiming explained.
"I understand." Lin Xu nodded and said nothing more.
"Master, I found the control program of the elf tree." Qiming said again.
"Oh, what did you find?" Lin Xu asked immediately.
The Elf Tree was originally left to the elves before humans set sail ten thousand years ago.
It can be seen that in the eyes of humans ten thousand years ago, elegant creatures like elves were also very likable to humans, so they deliberately left something for them, just like parents who favor their favorite child.
But who can blame the elves for being so beautiful?
It seems that humans still can't get rid of the habit of being obsessed with looks. Lin Xu sighed when he thought of this.
"After searching the operation log of the Elf Tree through the control program, we found the reason why the Elf Tree is getting weaker and weaker. The Elf Tree has not been replenished with nanorobots, or so-called magic power, for too long. The elves don't seem to have the concept of replenishing magic power for the Elf Tree."
Afterwards, Qiming explained to Lin Xu in detail what had happened.
To put it simply, the so-called newborn elves accept the blessing of the elf tree, which means that the elf tree infuses nanorobots into the newborn elves.
These nanorobots will optimize the elves' bodies according to the established procedures set by the Elf Tree, and will try their best to maintain the elves' bodies in the future so that the elves can live to the theoretical limit of their lifespan, which is one thousand years.
When the nanorobots in the elves' bodies operate according to the established program of the Elf Tree, the elves will also be able to sense the presence of nanorobots more easily due to their naturally optimized and sensitive nerves in constant contact with the nanorobots.
That is to sense the existence of magic.
And this is the most difficult step for other races when learning magic, sensing the existence of magic.
The elves can make the leap naturally, no wonder every elf is a magician.
Even though the elves have a sparse population, they can still firmly occupy the Elf Forest and have a place on the continent.
As for why nanorobots, which are only the size of molecules, can be sensed.
Of course, this is because the second-generation nanorobots are a combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology, and have the special ability to connect with living organisms.
It is as if Lin Xu can connect with the second-generation nanorobots through visual nerves, auditory nerves, various sensory nerves, and brain neurons, thus creating the feeling that the nanorobots have become an extension of his own consciousness and sense of touch.
Although other artificial creatures do not have the same authority as Lin Xu, they can still come into contact with nanorobots through meditation and other methods of concentration.
Even if you can't make the nanorobots an extension of your consciousness, you should try your best to sense their existence.
In other words, it is still possible to sense magic power .
In the long process of infusing the elves with nanorobots, the stored nanorobots in the Elf Tree became increasingly scarce and could not be replenished, so naturally the blessing became sometimes effective and sometimes not.
But the elves don't seem to have the concept that the elven trees also need to replenish magic power, and have never used magic crystals to replenish the magic power infused into the elves' bodies, that is, nanorobots, for the elven trees.
Even when they were trying to find a way to cure the withering Elf Tree, they were holding various magical ceremonies and using precious high-level magic props to bless the Elf Tree.
In fact, the elf tree just lacks the most basic magic power.
But none of the elves could have imagined this.
Over the thousands of years that passed, the probability of the Elf Tree's blessing failing became greater and greater, and the elves had no choice but to retreat to the Elf Forest, never to regain their former glory.
However, no elf has ever thought of using the most common magic crystal to heal the elven tree, which is their lifeline.
After reaching the final conclusion, Lin Xu was a little speechless.
"If I tell them this conclusion, will the elves go crazy? The elf tree is not sick at all, it just has no mana." Lin Xu said with a smile.
But no one answered him.
In the end, Lin Xu did not tell the elves the truth.
Instead, he only told Eve that he had healed the elf tree.
Just don’t use the magic power of the elf tree when you bless it in the future. Instead, use the magic power of the magic crystal instead. This will reduce the pressure on the elf tree and it will not get sick in the future.
After expressing his gratitude profusely to the elves, Lin Xu also obtained an interesting piece of information from the historical records of this long-lived race of elves.
The elves have a long lifespan, so their historical records are relatively complete.
According to their records, when humans set sail from the Holy Demon Continent, they were not the only ones who left.
There are also some elites from various races who left with humans, including elves, orcs, dwarves, humans, etc.
These racial elites who followed humans away were called humans' followers.
They are the bravest and most outstanding members of each race. They are powerful and can easily master powerful magic.
They are extremely loyal to humans and are the most favored relatives of humans.
Listening to these descriptions, Lin Xu suddenly thought that since they were followers, then the control authority over the nanorobots must be higher than that of ordinary creations.
Maybe this is why they can easily master powerful magic.
