V3/Chapter 9: Listen to what you say. Are you speaking human language?
Ai Yue naturally had no idea what was happening in the Domination Domain. At this moment, he had already crawled out of the device and began to think about whether to dismantle it and make it into something else.
"Dr. Ai Yue, something strange happened."
At this moment, Prometheus' voice suddenly came, "The collapse of the Domination Domain is about five seconds later than expected."
"Too late?"
Ai Yue was stunned for a moment. "Can you trace the source and find out the cause?"
"Not yet. It will take some time to calibrate and troubleshoot the equipment."
Prometheus said, "It is currently impossible to determine which link has a problem, so self-diagnosis will take at least 12 hours."
"Strange, theoretically this shouldn't happen."
Ai Yue thought about it for a while, and suddenly froze, "Unless, unless it got new energy support before it collapsed?"
Maintaining the domain of domination requires enormous amounts of energy every second. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for humans to restore its full appearance. Therefore, the energy consumed by maintaining it for five more seconds is enough to be equivalent to the total energy consumption of a medium-sized city in 24 hours.
And this energy couldn't possibly appear out of thin air. Could it be that it really connected to the Cocoon of the Finality in the end?
But if it is really connected to the Cocoon of the Finality, it is impossible for it to last for such a short time.
"The energy expenditure to dominate a domain is proportional to its size."
"If it's not an instantaneous collapse, but a gradual collapse, then the continued shrinking size could allow it to last longer," Prometheus said.
"In short, you check first."
Ai Yue pushed his glasses and saw new information on them, so he waved his hand and said, "Report to me as soon as you encounter any problems."
"Understood."
Prometheus responded, "So, demolition plans?"
"Let's postpone it for now."
Ai Yue said casually, and added, "But to be on the safe side, it's better to remove all the Herrscher cores."
After saying this, he left the laboratory, leaving Prometheus alone to control the mechanical arm extending from the ceiling and begin the separation of the cores.
The reason why Ai Yue was in a hurry to leave was naturally because his experimental partner was already waiting for him.
In the laboratory hall where the portal was placed, a young man, also in a white coat, was looking around curiously. Although Ai Yue was still far away from him, the other party had already keenly sensed his approach and then turned around and took the initiative to greet him.
"Long time no see, Dr. Ai Yue."
Su from the Fifth Research Institute smiled and said, "Is your recent research going well?"
"It's OK. Although it's a bit slow, at least it's not stuck."
Ai Yue pushed his glasses, and the equipment beside him immediately started to work. "What about you?"
"It's a small breakthrough. The cost of Honkai disease antibodies has dropped by 5% so far."
Su introduced, "Our next step is to try to extract the active ingredients directly from the Honkai beast, but the equipment we have is not accurate enough, so we can only send the request to Minister Vill-V to see when she has time to help us upgrade the equipment."
"Vill-V may not be free recently. I have occupied all her time."
Ai Yue shook his head slightly. "Send me your request later and I'll try to solve it for you."
"Is this… okay?"
Su said with some surprise, "Dr. Ai Yue, your time is more valuable, right?"
Ever since he witnessed Ai Yue's abilities, Su had placed him in a position that was unimaginable to ordinary people. In his eyes, every matter Ai Yue had to deal with was related to the life and death of mankind, and obviously should not be wasted on such insignificant details.
After all, the other party has already solved the most critical issue. If they have to worry about the remaining optimization issues, wouldn't it make them seem useless?
"It doesn't matter. It won't take much time anyway."
Ai Yue waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't need to worry. "Speaking of which, how is your teacher now?"
Spasi, the former minister of the Fifth Science Department, resigned from his post after Ai Yue successfully developed an artificial Honkai antibody and went to the medical front to treat ordinary people suffering from Honkai disease. Now, several months have passed, and no one knows how he is doing.
"The teacher is...very happy now."
Su considered his words carefully and finally said, "For him, being able to see patients recover is obviously much better than doing nothing in the laboratory. He looks a lot younger now."
"It's a bit too much to be idle,"
Ai Yue shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Su's words, "Minister Spasi's contribution to the Honkai disease antibodies cannot be ignored."
"These are your teacher's original words,"
Su couldn't help but look at Ai Yue with a strange expression, thinking, Who do you think the teacher said this because of? "Let's not talk about this. Dr. Ai Yue asked me to come here today. Does he need my help to test some new technology?"
Due to the strong shock he had once experienced, he really didn't want to recall the incident.
When Ai Yue contacted him before, he had already explained the situation in advance, so Su was prepared for what happened today.
"Well, about the power of domination... never mind, the name is not important."
Ai Yue found that he couldn't quite remember the full name of the proposal, so he gave up explaining, "In short, it's just a preliminary experiment, and you are the most suitable candidate at the moment."
Currently, there are actually only four people who are qualified and can take part in the technical test. Among them, Aponia's ability is too dangerous and was directly excluded by Ai Yue from the beginning. Vill-V's ability is not transferable and has very low value in actual combat, so she was also excluded.
In the end, only Dystopia and Su were left. Considering that ordinary soldiers actually need defensive means rather than offensive means in battle, Ai Yue finally chose Su, who could counter enemy attacks, instead of Dystopia.
After all, to use telekinesis well requires a certain amount of training, but Su's ability is more like a passive protection in a sense. In the test model constructed in advance by Ai Yue, it is a useful ability that can exert its full effect as soon as it is obtained, so it naturally cannot be missed.
Of course, before that, preliminary experiments need to be carried out to see if Su can get used to the feeling of his consciousness being extended and stretched.
At least Ai Yue was not very good at it. He almost vomited when he tried it for the first time.
The reason why he didn't choose Aponia was that he didn't want her to suffer this, as for Su, they are all men, so what if they suffer a little and get tired
