The expression on Valkyrie"s face immediately became wonderful. This woman, who was always cold towards everything, was extremely excited when she thought of Zero"s blood sample. His breathing quickened unnoticeably. Valkyrie nodded, "Yes father, after a period of a.n.a.lysis and research. We found that zero"s blood also contained the existence of a nucleus. "
On the day of the Cataclysm, those who had gone through the genetic upheaval would become Adepts. However, no one knew how the Discipline came about. It was like a gift from heaven, one that allowed people to fight against the terrifying world before them. However, in the case of the Heroic Spirit Hall or the Dark Council, this phenomenon had been thoroughly studied for many years. In the blood of Adepts, they discovered a new type of life substance in their cells.
The substance was not in the known range. It was like a generator, causing everyone who owned it to produce a superpower. Because this material is the key and core of superpower, scholars call it nuclear.
Zero was also an Adept, so when Ben heard the news he didn"t show much surprise.
But the next words that he said made the old man"s heart tremble.
"It"s also a core, but the code for a core found in the blood of zero is much longer than that for any other Adept. That means that zero has enormous and unknown potential, but more importantly, in this set of codes, we find that some of the code fits with the divine creation of the miracle. This proves from the other side that Zero is one of the survivors of the plan. " "He is a second generation new human with limitless possibilities!"
Ben"s breathing became slightly heavier.
New humans were a way of addressing Adepts. They were another way for humans to evolve, but the new humans also had their own limitations. For example, there were limitations to their abilities in terms of potential, or they might not be able to escape from the shackles of longevity. Despite the appearance of special abilities, a small number of humans had undergone changes. This allowed them to fight against the earth, which had become extremely dangerous.
But after so many years of research, people had come to the conclusion that Disciplines were not without cost. The nucleus of the blood was comparable to a superpower generator. But since it was a generator, it needed to consume energy. Naturally, the consumption of nuclear energy was not fuel, but life force. The greater the ability, the greater the consumption. If the core of a low-level ability user was a generator, then a high-level ability user like Valkyrie would be a nuclear power plant.
In this age where the average human life expectancy was only forty years, Adepts weren"t that much longer than normal humans. Of course, in order to deal with this problem, both the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Dark Council had research projects on how to extend their lives, and they had already achieved some results. However, even if the issue of longevity was overcome, the overuse of nuclear power would still lead to another terrifying consequence.
Gene collapse!
This was a result no one wanted to see, and the G.o.d found in the sacred scripture was the giant of light. The Hall of Heroic Spirits had discovered something similar to a nucleus, but its composition was much stricter than that of a nucleus. The mysterious code contained in that substance has not yet been fully deciphered. A small part of the code that can be deciphered includes near eternal life, as well as pure and recyclable life energy. From these two points of view, the giant of light created by the ancient civilization was a type of super life.
This was also the reason why the Heroic Spirit Palace would call this giant a G.o.d. The mysterious substance in the G.o.d"s body was known as the Core of Light, which signified the location of hope.
Everlasting life, vast, pure, recyclable energy. This was the ideal life form. If they had this kind of life form, the human world would not be limited to the planet they were standing on. The endless stars would be their home.
More importantly, if the nucleus of light could be fully deciphered and replicated, not only humans, but also Adepts would be able to break away from their current low-level life forms and truly touch the world of the G.o.ds. This feat was comparable to the creation of the world, something that even this old man, who was late at night, would feel extremely excited about.
After that, the Hall of Heroic Spirits devoted a great deal of resources and talents to the study of the sacred scriptures. Furthermore, from the code for breaking the core of light, they had also researched a potion to extend their lifespan. However, when the giant of light was discovered, the super life created by the ancient civilization also came to the end of life, thus, the sample obtained by the Hall of Heroic Spirits was incomplete.
However, it was not easy to find samples of other giants while searching for other sacred relics. As far as Ben knew, only the Dark Council had developed another miracle in the Southwest, but there were no giants in it.
As a result, the progress in deciphering the core of light was pitifully slow in the last ten years. So now that he heard that Zero"s blood contains a substance close to the core of light, how could he not be excited?
After all, his fires of life had already dimmed. If by the time he reached the end, he could decipher all the codes for the nucleus of light, then he would also have the hope of transforming into the second generation of new humans, and would possess an almost eternal life.
As for why Zero would possess such a substance close to the core of light, it would be related to a plan. The plan of the man-made G.o.ds only existed in between these words. It was incomplete and incomplete. He only had a general idea of what was going on, but he had no idea about the core content of the plan as well as the process of his experiments. All he knew was that this plan was related to the miracle and had begun before the Cataclysm.
As for Zero, after a period of a.n.a.lysis and sampling, it had proven that he was one of the experimental subjects of that plan.
"Father!"
His daughter"s voice brought Ben out of his reverie, and he looked at Valkyrie. The old man knew what she was going to say. Ben laughed and said, "Don"t worry, Carrion is not an idiot. Although the Cossacks" military base was dangerous, Callio would not a.s.sign a mission that required certain death. Moreover, if Zero is a second generation h.o.m.o Evolutis, this little bit of difficulty would not be difficult for him … "
"However, just in case. "My dear daughter, go to the Cossack himself. If Zero"s life is in danger, immediately stop the examination and bring him back safely."
"Zero is more important to the Hall of Heroic Spirits than anything else. The codes of the inner cores could not be compared with the level of the Nuclei of Light. If he could first decipher the code from zero, then use it as a reference for the core of light to decipher, then his progress would be much faster. So, even if Ben hadn"t given the order, Valkyrie would have secretly gone to the Cossacks to protect Zero.
In the eyes of the War G.o.ddess, Zero should not have joined any new regiment. He only needed to stay in the laboratory and obediently cooperate with her. In that case, Zero could get everything he wanted without having to join the military system.
Ben smiled and shook his head as he watched Valkyrie go. He knew very well what Valkyrie was thinking. This little girl that he had rescued from the abandoned supermarket had a very high intelligence. Valkyrie always sees right through the essence of things and uses the most direct and effective way to solve anything. But because of this, Valkyrie lacked a sense of human nature.
In the case of zeros, which were intended for the military system at the time, Valkyrie objected vehemently. According to her, she could have Zero obediently stay in the laboratory to coordinate with the research on the Nucleus of Light. But Ben knew that if he did, not only would Zero not cooperate, it would also actively try to escape from Asgard.
So the best way to keep Zero in Asgartree was to let him join the military system. After all, Ben knew that there were only a handful of friends he knew in the new barracks. To make Zero stay, a tough att.i.tude was not advisable. On the contrary, he would only stay if he allowed this human to be tied down. Friends.h.i.+p was one of them, and besides, affection.
After graduating from the new camp, Ben had decided to allocate the funds he needed to revive Leah and use Asgard"s resources to help him accomplish this. With Zero"s character, he would definitely try his best to decipher the light core.
This was human nature, the wisdom of an old man"s life.
"We"re here!"
It was unknown who"s loud roar woke Zero from his slumber. Like an activated electronic circuit, as he opened his eyes, countless commands were immediately transmitted from his brain to every part of his body. Cells began to become active to provide zero-surge power.
Zero can clearly sense the power, or biological energy, that is surging from all parts of the body. This was the first time Zero had felt the life energy in his body. It was like a warm current flowing through his veins.
With a violent vibration, the transport stopped. Zero jumped out of the car, breathing not Asgard"s artificial chemical oxygen but the wild air. He inhaled the air current with a slight burning sensation. This was because the air contained a certain amount of radiation. In the past, it didn"t seem any different. However, after getting used to the fresh artificial oxygen from Asgard, the air in the wilderness became like a bottle of lousy beer, causing one to be unable to swallow it.
After staying in Asgard for so long, even the fiercest person would turn into a greenhouse flower. Zero couldn"t help but mock himself in his heart.
They were now about a hundred miles west of the Julian mountain range. If they continued west, they would reach the tundra that had been frozen for a long time. Other than the aliens that Ben had previously listed, there was no other life that could survive in such an environment with a temperature of -50 degrees Celsius. Even here, the temperature was only -15 degrees Celsius.
However, the night G.o.d"s temperature control system was able to maintain the human body"s normal temperature. Therefore, Zero did not feel that cold.
From here, he could see the contours of some buildings in the distance. However, because of the low temperature, the moisture in the air condensed into ice crystals, and the wind was strong, it was impossible to see the scene in the distance clearly from a layer of icy fog.
A dilapidated but clearly artificially constructed road stretched out from the right side of the convoy towards the direction of the buildings. Callio jumped out of the car, and the chief instructor shouted to the new recruits, "Listen, follow this road and you"ll see the Cossack military base. I"ll send you guys here, now, charge at me! "
