Mechanical Flesh - Chapter222

Just as Qi Yuan was thinking hard about how to solve the last problem, Tan Qiu suddenly sent him a message.

Qi Yuan clicked on the message. Although he had expected it, he still heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the content of the message.

Feng Qian had indeed relented!

As a fourth-level researcher with a grudge between them, it was not easy to make Feng Qian bow his head. However, Cao Yansheng had already woken up from his coma. With this huge favor, it was expected that Feng Qian would relent.

However, just as Tan Qiu had expected, although Feng Qian had relented and allowed Qi Yuan to enter his laboratory, he would not stay in the laboratory and wait for Qi Yuan to come and slap him in the face.

Perhaps to express his dissatisfaction, Feng Qian only sent a first-level researcher as a guide when Qi Yuan entered the laboratory.

Qi Yuan did not mind. His main goal was to sign in, not to use this method to annoy Feng Qian. It did not matter who was the guide.

Feng Qian's laboratory was very large. Perhaps for confidentiality, some areas were specially sealed. Fortunately, the area where the checkpoint was located was not sealed.

Qi Yuan stopped beside a huge flesh culture medium.

A few blood-red saplings as thick as an arm grew within the viscous flesh. Perhaps sensing Qi Yuan's arrival, these blood-red saplings swayed gently, their leaves rustling as they rubbed against each other.

The beam of light that symbolized the checkpoint quietly enveloped a blood-colored sapling.

Looking at the blood-colored sapling in front of him, Qi Yuan vaguely felt that it was familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before.

"What sapling is this?

Why does it feed on flesh? "Qi Yuan asked.

The first-level researcher who was acting as a guide glanced at Qi Yuan and said coldly, "This is the Tree of Annihilation."

The Tree of Annihilation!

How could this be the Tree of Annihilation?

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment. He had initially suspected that these saplings were the Trees of Annihilation, but he did not discover any annihilation power in their bodies. Furthermore, even the shape of the leaves were different from the Tree of Annihilation in the prison.

Qi Yuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and directly activated the area detection, data center, and energy control to carefully observe these young Trees of Annihilation.

Perhaps because they were too young, these Trees of Annihilation did not form a force field that could shield them from area detection, and Qi Yuan could easily observe their internal structure.

Under the careful observation of the three major abilities, Qi Yuan finally confirmed that these saplings were the Trees of Oblivion.

Although the Annihilation Tree Core had not formed in their bodies, there was still a trace of Annihilation Power that was so weak that it was almost undetectable. If not for the fact that his Energy Control had been upgraded to Tier 3, Qi Yuan would not have noticed the existence of this trace of Annihilation Power.

Looking at that extremely weak trace of Annihilation Power, Qi Yuan felt as if he had seen a lighthouse in the dark, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The Annihilation Power originally came from the Tree of Annihilation, and since it could not be artificially produced in large quantities, then could it be that the problem could be solved by cultivating the Trees of Annihilation on a large scale?

The appearance of these Tree of Annihilation saplings in Feng Qian's laboratory proved that he had already solved the problem of the reproduction of the Trees of Annihilation. If they could continue to grow and form the Annihilation Tree Core, then they could automatically convert other energy to produce the Annihilation Power, and the problem of the source of the Annihilation Power would be easily solved.

Although this method could not allow the Annihilation Power to achieve industrial mass production, if it was just to make weapons, it would be enough to supply the frontline battle!

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he said slowly, "Why would Researcher Feng be interested in the Trees of Annihilation? This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with his research direction."

The young researcher was obviously an admirer of Feng Qian, and he said proudly, "These are the experimental projects of Commissioner Feng when he was young. At that time, this project's thesis was even published in Life!"

Qi Yuan's smile became bright.

Life, right?!

Thank you, Feng Qian, for providing the method of breeding the Trees of Annihilation!

"To be able to be published in the highest journal in the energy field, Life, Commissioner Feng was indeed very impressive back then!" Qi Yuan casually praised.

"Of course," the young researcher said. "Commissioner Feng was only 20 when he published this thesis …"

Halfway through his bragging, the young researcher suddenly remembered Qi Yuan's glorious achievements.

Qi Yuan was someone who had published three consecutive theses in Hope when he had just entered the laboratory, and had even received Ai Xin's personal comments.

This glory was even greater than Feng Qian's in the past, and more importantly, the current Qi Yuan was younger than Feng Qian's in the past.

Qi Yuan smiled and did not mind. Even Feng Qian knew to hide far away and not want to be slapped in the face by me, yet you still want to use Feng Qian to show off in front of me. Aren't you asking for a beating?!

After completing the check-in, Qi Yuan put a level three talent point and a broken pass into his bag.

After that, Qi Yuan walked around the other parts of Feng Qian's laboratory. Because of Feng Qian, the attitude of the researchers in the laboratory towards Qi Yuan was very cold. If they found out that Qi Yuan was carefully observing an experiment, they would even purposely stop what they were doing to express their disdain.

Feng Qian was treating himself as the king of this laboratory!

Qi Yuan sighed.

Although he was not welcomed in the laboratory, Qi Yuan did not leave immediately. Looking at the expressions of those who were unhappy with him and unable to do anything about it, it was quite interesting!

Qi Yuan walked around the laboratory for two whole hours. Some of the more intense researchers were almost driven mad by Qi Yuan. Every time Qi Yuan approached, they did not know whether to stop the experiment or not …

In the end, when Qi Yuan left, all the researchers in the laboratory heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally sent this god of plague away!

Not long after Qi Yuan left, Feng Qian returned to the laboratory. He called the young researcher who was in charge of receiving him to his office and asked about the situation. Then, he frowned.

Although he had a deep conflict with Qi Yuan, Feng Qian still did not believe that Qi Yuan came to his laboratory just to stroll around.

"Did he try to get close to those sealed areas?" Feng Qian asked.

"No," the young researcher replied carefully.

What was left outside were all unimportant research projects. The truly important projects had all been sealed up, yet Qi Yuan had only taken a stroll outside. What was he trying to do?

A young man who was able to break through so many restrictions and grow up tenaciously would definitely not come to his laboratory just for fun. Although he did not know why Commissioner Cao would agree to such an unreasonable request, Qi Yuan definitely had other motives for coming to his laboratory this time.

Could it be that there were also secrets hidden in those unsealed projects?

"Which places did Qi Yuan look at?" Feng Qian asked.

"He looked at almost every place," the young researcher said.

"Be more specific. Where did he stay for the longest time and where did he look the most?"

The young researcher recalled carefully and said, "Qi Yuan looked at the second power transmission project seven times, stayed near the Tree of Oblivion for one minute, looked at the tidal energy testing system five times, and looked at the redundant energy recovery matrix 27 times …"

Feng Qian frowned.

"Wait a minute. You're saying that Qi Yuan looked at the redundant energy recovery matrix 27 times?"

The redundant energy recovery system was only a second-level project. With Qi Yuan's ability, this kind of project should not be attractive at all. Why would he look at it 27 times?

The young researcher nodded. After seeing Feng Qian's thoughtful expression, he said hesitantly, "I suspect that Qi Yuan did it on purpose!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because every time Qi Yuan went to observe this project, Li Yi, who was in charge of this project, would stop the experiment. Every time Li Yi restarted the project, Qi Yuan would go over and take a look. Qi Yuan went 27 times, and Li Yi stopped the experiment 27 times. I think Li Yi was about to cry …"

Feng Qian was stunned.

If an experiment failed 27 times, it was nothing to a patient researcher. However, if the same step was interrupted 27 times by the same person, most researchers would probably explode on the spot.

Qi Yuan's actions were clearly to disgust people.

Feng Qian could totally imagine Li Yi's aggrieved expression after stopping the experiment time and time again.

If he had not given the order not to initiate a conflict with Qi Yuan, Li Yi would probably not have been able to resist beating Qi Yuan to death …

Qi Yuan really came to his laboratory to disgust people!

Was he venting his anger on others because he could not disgust him?

Feng Qian suddenly thought of Qi Yuan's age. This young man, whom he regarded as an enemy, was only 17 years old.

Before this, what Qi Yuan had displayed was his tenacity, craziness and talent, causing people to almost overlook his age. For a young man of Qi Yuan's age, it was indeed possible for him to use such an inexplicable method to express the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Feng Qian felt a strange sense of irritation. A seventeen year old youth was actually able to openly provoke him and even force him to give in. Before Qi Yuan's appearance, this was something that he would never have imagined.

After the young researcher left, Feng Qian let out a long sigh. He opened his work log and looked at the progress of the various experiments. However, when he saw the research project that was glowing red at the top, the waves in his heart gradually calmed down.

"It's almost there!

It's almost there! "Feng Qian mumbled to himself.

"There should be hope for this project to win the Leader Medal. The Door of Truth has not given out a Leader Medal for five years. It's time to give it out this year!"

…

After completing the check-in at Feng Qian's laboratory, he was only left with the last check-in point in the board of directors' hall. It was also the most difficult check-in point.

Qi Yuan suppressed the throbbing in his heart. He already had a glimmer of hope for the creation of the Power of Annihilation. If he could solve this last problem, then he could kill two birds with one stone and get the Leader Medal and the pass to advance to Level 4 at the same time.

The previous Life papers were all archived in the laboratory. Qi Yuan easily found Feng Qian's previous paper on the reproduction of the Tree of Annihilation through the index and read it carefully.

"Flesh plants!

Feng Qian's definition of the Tree of Annihilation is a little interesting. No wonder this paper was published in Life and not Truth. "

After reading the full paper, Qi Yuan finally understood the principle behind Feng Qian's reproduction of the Tree of Annihilation. However, another difficult problem was placed in front of him. That was how to make the Tree of Annihilation grow quickly and condense the Power of Annihilation.

It had been thirteen years since Feng Qian cultivated those Trees of Annihilation, but they still had not grown. The Power of Annihilation in their bodies was also extremely weak and could not be used at all.

Cultivating the Trees of Annihilation was just a means. What he really wanted was the Power of Annihilation!

Only after the Tree of Annihilation matured and formed the Tree Heart would it have the ability to condense the Power of Annihilation on its own!

It was a pity that he could not bring those Trees of Annihilation back. Qi Yuan shook his head regretfully.

It was not difficult to reproduce the Trees of Annihilation. The only difficulty was that the production of the flesh culture medium was relatively harsh. Only the flesh of Level 4 and above could allow the Trees of Annihilation to grow. Although the Trees of Annihilation in Feng Qian's laboratory were only as thick as a fist, a lot of flesh and blood had been used to cultivate them. The flesh culture medium had at least swallowed ten Insect Beasts of Level 4 and above.

To cultivate a Tree of Annihilation and condense the Tree Heart, it would probably require the bodies of tens of thousands of powerful Insect Beasts.

This condition was simply impossible to achieve!

"Blazing Angel, did you find anything of value?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

When he went to Feng Qian's laboratory, to avoid any accidents, Qi Yuan had specially brought Blazing Angel along. When he was observing the saplings of the Trees of Annihilation, he had also let Blazing Angel observe carefully.

Blazing Angel, who was sitting on Qi Yuan's shoulder, shook his head blankly.

I'm just a child who doesn't have enough to eat. I don't know anything!

"If you provide any useful clues, you can have an extra meal!" Qi Yuan said.

Although the area detection and energy control had already explored every corner of the Trees of Annihilation, Blazing Angel was an energy body after all. Furthermore, his rank was higher. From his point of view, he might be able to see something different.

Hearing the words "extra meal", Blazing Angel, who was originally in a daze, instantly became alert and began to think hard.

After a while, Blazing Angel excitedly raised his right hand!

"What did you find?" Qi Yuan asked.

"They are like me. They are very hungry!" Blazing Angel said.

"They?

You mean those Trees of Annihilation? "

Blazing Angel nodded. As an energy body, he had a magical ability. He could communicate with certain Insect Beasts and plants. The Trees of Annihilation happened to be one of them.

Qi Yuan's interest was also piqued.

"How did you know?"

"The saplings of the Trees of Annihilation told me."

"What else did you say?"

"They said they were very hungry and wanted to eat. I said I was also very hungry and wanted to eat. They said I was lying to them. Then they got angry and stopped talking to me!"

Qi Yuan:???

"Can this discovery be an extra meal?" Blazing Angel asked weakly.
