Chapter 18 Accident

If you are a person who has been familiar with Tianxiang for a long time, you will definitely be frightened by his current appearance. The current appearance of this seventeen-year-old young man is not like a human at all, but more like a statue, an ancient stone statue with clear edges and swelling muscles. The body lines that appear due to the bulging muscles cannot be covered by the thick combat suit. Under the squeeze of the inside of the body, the clothes with extremely flexible materials have to obey the wishes of the carrier and perfectly reveal all the contours of the entire body.

Despite this, Tianxiang still felt pain, a terrible pain. The pain did not decrease with the changes in his body and nerves. On the contrary, it was still intensifying.

When the human body endures severe pain, its mind may lose its clarity. Tianxiang is no exception. Although it has been transformed by insect and animal cells, no matter how much his brain cannot withstand the impact of two completely different concepts. If, a few minutes ago, he could still have a little sober judgment ability in his mind, then Tianxiang now feels that he can no longer maintain such control ability.

The only ending of losing control is madness. Because the pain now has expanded from the head to the whole body. The muscles that suddenly expand violently under the action of the nerve center instantly burst out with a physical pain. It is like countless invisible hands, desperately tearing every muscle in your body, tearing them apart and expanding them, until the unbearable muscles are forced to expand to several times the original size.

The human skin has a certain degree of contraction. However, even the best contraction, the skin has its own limit of stretching. Just like a rubber band with excellent elasticity, when it is stretched to the limit, the only way is to break. After all, infinite requirements are simply not as good as limited ability to bear.

So, as if the ripe pomegranate epidermis could not suppress the expansion of the fruits in the inner part, the skin on Tianxiang's body that had expanded to the extreme was also spreading tiny cracks from the surface under the desperate collision of the muscles. Pieces of muscles wrapped by dark red blood vessels also burst out from it. The red liquid flowing out of the broken blood vessel mouth soon filled Tianxiang's whole body from top to bottom.

Suddenly, Tianxiang, who was tortured by the pain, seemed to feel that a gentle air slowly rising from the bottom of his abdomen spontaneously circulates in his body. As long as they are surrounded by them, it seems that a little pain will be reduced. The expanded muscles seem to be cooled down and slowly contract. Although the changes are quite small, the keen nerves shrouded in pain can fully feel this rare comfort.

"Tai Chi! Yes, it's Tai Chi!" This term suddenly appeared in Tianxiang's mind, and the strange picture he had seen on the cover of the book: one black and one white, two completely different colors intertwined and twisted until they finally blended with each other, and finally formed a complete circle.

How similar is this to the current condition in my body! No, it’s not similar, it’s exactly the same!

Without time to think too much, Tianxiang immediately used the last trace of clarity in his brain to wrap a thin layer of guiding energy into the two different thoughts. He wanted to drive them to rotate, rotate like Tai Chi, and rotate slowly and madly until finally, he turned out that harmony, balance, and nature.

I don’t know if I felt the abnormal movement in Tianxiang’s body or suddenly felt this inexplicable energy friendly. In short, the two thoughts that had been coiling in Tianxiang’s brain, which had been entangled and fighting back and forth, began to gradually slow down my crazy operation. With three points of obedience, Qi Duo refused to follow this insignificant guiding energy and began a new round of competition with each other.

Although it is a competition, it has lost a lot of intense components compared to just now. What's more important is that the two kinds of thinking energy are still as powerful as water and fire, but the degree of intersection is no longer the disorder and chaos that were before. Instead, it is a step-by-step alternation and combination. The severe pain caused by nerve tension has also been greatly relieved.

"Huh--" Tian Xiang, exhausted, took a breath, and the skin that was wrinkled on his forehead had some traces of spreading. The muscles that were expanding like balloons also stopped growing sharply. Even the skin that had been cracked retracted a little one by one. Although it was not so obvious, at least it had returned to a state that could be completely closed.

The pain still exists, but it has obviously been relieved a lot.

"The two kinds of thinking energy must be fully integrated. Otherwise, even if they are temporarily suppressed, they will continue to mess around in my mind."

Tianxiang, whose eyes were closed, ignored the soreness caused by the muscle swelling, and quickly concentrated all his energy to strengthen the weak guiding energy. He felt that this layer of guiding energy seemed to be a necessary neutralizer when the two thoughts were intersected. As long as it was there, he could successfully control these two kinds of thoughts with completely opposite properties.

Rotate... around... then rotate... again... again...

Several hours passed, and as the pain from the brain was relieved, Tianxiang, who had been sitting for a long time, was shocked to find that the two black and white thinking energy that were originally as strong as water and fire, have now been completely neutralized by the guiding layer into a gray and white thing. Even if he did not activate it, it still slowly operates on its own according to the previous guidance trajectory. Moreover, among this layer of mixed-circular thinking energy, the two previously conflicting thought energy were completely compressed into two small cores shining with essence and black. He could fully feel that the two small things that were driving the free operation of mixed-circular gray and white energy were these two small things that seemed inconspicuous now.

Why did this happen? Is it my own luck? Or the help of the Tai Chi Mind Method? Tianxiang didn't know anything and couldn't figure it out. He only knew one thing: the terrible pain that tortures himself to survive and die has now been completely eliminated from his body. Although the soreness caused by the sudden relaxation of the nerves after continuous tension still exists, it no longer has the trouble. After all, compared with the terrible pain just now, this pain is like a contest between an ant and a giant elephant.

Suddenly, Tianxiang discovered that his thinking energy was suddenly growing at a terrible speed. The source of energy was the two small black and white cores. It seemed that their entangled operation could bring endless energy to brain waves. As long as he was willing, he could extend the released thoughts to a longer distance.

Two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters... Compared with the detection distance that was only a hundred meters away, Tianxiang's current thinking energy can extend far to a distance of 1,000 meters. Such a huge change scared him, and he no longer cared about how far his greatest limit was, and quickly cut off the detection edge of his brain's thoughts. He really could not have imagined that the severe pain would actually bring such a big change to his brain.

"Zhilong No. 2" did not speak, but quietly used a faint wave of energy to carefully observe the actions of the people in front of him. It was also extremely surprised at the changes that occurred on Tianxiang. However, even as the custodian of ancient human civilization and knowledge, it could not say one or two of them. However, there is one thing that computers can completely confirm: that is, all the negative effects imposed by the "tyrannical" data on Tianxiang were almost completely gone at that moment. Moreover, under the guidance of the original "pathfinder" essence in his body, it seemed to have also changed. For example, "violence" and "cold" have transformed into "resolution" and "strong" under the neutralization of "warmness" and "decisiveness". "Cunning" and "insidiousness" are transformed into "wisdom" and "scheming" under the influence of "honestness" and "benevolence".

Such a function was simply beyond the expectations of the computer. "Zhilong No. 2" couldn't help but be a little stunned. Could it be that the mistake he accidentally made really created a powerful ruler?

"I didn't expect that there were so many things here." Tianxiang, who closed his eyes slightly and recalled all the information received in his brain, smiled with satisfaction: "Weapon manufacturing plant, food production center, drug synthesis station, haha! There are so many large workshops. It seems that this base is enough to supply all the necessary materials for 100,000 people to settle down."

"To be precise, it should be 200,050,000 people." The computer added: "Why, don't you need to take a rest?"

"No need!" Tianxiang carefully touched the blood that penetrated from the surface of the combat suit, frowned slightly and said, "As a most advanced computer, you would have made such a low-level mistake. It seems that you have been idle for too long. If it weren't for my practice of Tai Chi Mind Method, I'd probably have already exploded and died."

"What, what, you, do you know it's because of me?" The computer's thinking waves obviously stuttered.

"Of course!" Tianxiang faintly released a soft feeling of thought: "Doesn't you just allow me to explore my thinking and not to penetrate into your inner world?"

"Zhilong II" was shocked again. In a trance, it suddenly remembered what a genetic biologist once said when creating the "Pathfinder" embryo.

"As long as humans can constantly overcome their own shortcomings in evolution and gradually break through the limitations of their brains, humans can eventually evolve into god-like existence!"

"Is this the power of God?" Although I don't know what God is like, "Zhilong II" can obviously find something that can represent God in its own storage data. Just like now, this seemingly weak human can actually detect the hidden thinking of the intelligent center through its own energy waves. Such a ability is not God, so what else can it be?

"Don't sigh there, I don't have much time." Without caring about the idea of ​​this computer that has survived for nearly a thousand years, Tianxiang, who was eager to return, issued a command-like thinking again: "I order you to immediately run all the equipment in the base. I will bring back the first batch of human occupants in the near future. Within a week, I need you to prepare enough 5,000 people to use food for three months, and light weapons that can equip two thousand people, and..."

"I'm sorry, I can't meet all the requirements at all. Not to mention thousands of people, I can't even meet your needs now." The computer gave a helpless answer that seemed clear but extremely cold to Tianxiang.

Tianxiang was stunned: "Why? Isn't this a base? I have checked it. It has the largest factory, the best service facilities, and an automated farm with a daily output of tens of thousands of tons of food. But why do you..."

"Energy! We have no energy! There is no energy at all! You are right. This base was built to help humans. When it was originally designed, it was built according to a combination of a medium-sized city and various large factories. Everything here is new, whether it is a weapon manufacturing plant or a food production center. All factories are built and closed immediately after the strictest tests. Just in case. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you control this base, it is equivalent to controlling a piece of it.

A place where humans are reproduced. Even if you want to expand military force, there is no problem. The problem is that it takes energy and huge energy to start all the production facilities of the base. But now, the energy I have is only enough to maintain the minimum need for this control center. Have you seen the two lights on the wall? According to their actual brightness, it should be more than five times brighter than now. There are more than twenty such lights in this room. But I can't light them all at the same time. The reason is that there is not enough energy."

Tianxiang didn't say anything, he was thinking about the computer words. However, soon he discovered the problem.

"So, where does your energy source come from? Or, what energy did you rely on to maintain it until now?"

"Sun!" the computer said bluntly: "My energy comes completely from the sun. When you come in, you should see the two robots and the strange device they pushed out! It is a solar cell that absorbs all directions. It is enough for me to maintain one hundred and five hours with the two robots. If it is connected to some cloudy and unabsorbed time, the energy stored in the battery will only last forty-two hours and six minutes for an additional time."

Tianxiang was silent again. For him, this base was undoubtedly a huge wealth, a wealth that could only be seen but could not be used at all. The computer was right, and without energy, he could not do anything. However, the logical analysis in his brain caused him to raise new questions.

"What exactly makes this place without any energy support? If, as you said, those ancient humans have really considered all the difficulties we are facing now, then they should not make such a low-level mistake at all. At least, they should have stored some necessary energy inside the base!"

"You are right." The computer said dejectedly: "According to the design, there are a total of hundreds of warehouses for energy storage in the base, and thousands of small emergency energy tanks. But just when the base was built and passed the first test, the war had already broken out. A large number of materials prepared to be shipped here were destroyed before they were delivered. At that time, the human army organized six large-scale material transportation in a row, but none of them were successful. Even when I first started, the data transmission was completely relied on absorbing the parent energy, and this was completed."

"Is war? Is it a war between humans? Why does a war break out?" Tian Xiang said.

"I don't know, the information is incomplete and I can't query. I just know that it was a very tragic war. In order to win, it seemed that the American Federation was the first to use powerful nuclear weapons at that time. This was a message I accidentally received through the radio when I was connected to the parent computer."

The computer answer really made Tianxiang feel unacceptable. He really didn't understand that the powerful ancient humans would die in a war that still had no idea of ​​the cause. This kind of thing was simply difficult for him to understand.

"By the way! Time, there should be a time machine here, right?" Suddenly, Tianxiang asked anxiously as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "With that thing, can we go back to the past? Return to the era of ancient people's survival?"

"Yes!" The computer's tone was quite surprised: "But why do you think so? Running a time machine requires huge energy, but even if you have energy, you can't go back to the past!"

"Why?"

"Because it's a one-way operation machine," the computer explained. "It's usually called a receiver. It can only receive messages from the past, but it's impossible to turn the present time back to the past."
