Chapter 508: The Mystery Of The Tumors (2/2)

...

A month later, the interstellar creature's stomach was cut open and its gigantic organs were moved into an emergency spacecraft by the engineering robots. The spacecraft was like an enormous laboratory now with many researchers wearing lead-based protective clothing within a mountain of flesh and blood that looked like a massacre had just happened. The 30 meter tall heart that was cut into half was surrounded by many people as a gigantic piece of machinary waved its robotic arm around it, conduction various scans.

”The tumors are not part of the heart. The presence of eight, spiral structures detected!” Meng Junhua looked at the scan results on the screen and said as his assistances noted down what he had said. He looked young with a baby-like face, only being 27 years old. He had been working on the research for almost four years and was among the first batch of researchers who joined the team since the disaster. His performance was outstanding since he once worked in the field of high-energy physics and mathematics. He had come up with many valuable theses during his probationary period.

The biggest gap between mankind and the Glassians was the theoretical field. On one hand, the information humans were able to obtain was limited and they had to continue their studies on their own. It was a known fact that the technological advancement of humankind was not on par with their theoretical development, causing an imbalance. Many technicians knew how to build products that were similar to what the Glassians had but many of them did not have the theoretical support to use these products.

It was similar to a student who used a formula to complete a question without an in-depth understanding of what the formula really was. Although there were no direct consequences of doing that, if the situation continued, there would be a significant effect on technological development.

Unfortunately, most of the experts in these theoretical fields were in New Capital City before the disaster as there was equipment that was significantly more advanced so there were only a few of them in Hope City and other areas.

Under such circumstance, Meng Junhua was recognized and became one of the top people in the field. He was even assigned to work on the wisdom elixir a year ago and he was now a senior researcher.

”The microstructures shows cells that don’t exist. They look like a fibrous cotton material. Its structure is tough, almost six times tougher than muscle, 2.5 times tougher than skin. The function is still under study!”

”There’s a special structure connected to its heart!” Meng Junhua exclaimed at what was on the screen after looking at it for awhile. His eyes brightened up. ”This is an atomic filter, it filters the atoms and molecules and should be the funnel for its energy.”

He thought to himself, the energy should pass through the energy crystal in the heart to the eight spiral structures and activate the energy, turning it into gamma rays…

Unfortunately, he was not able to find the energy funnel so how was the interstellar creature able to shoot gamma rays?

Energy transition… Could it be due to other substances?

How do hundreds of these tumors work together?

How did it manage to shoot out gamma rays in such short periods of time?

…

Countless thoughts flashed through Meng Junhua's mind - he was getting lost. Unfortunately, the data he had was too little and he needed to conduct an in-depth and more complete study. He scratched his head as there was barely anything he was not able to complete ever since he consumed the wisdom elixir. However, excitement washed over him as he wondered if there was some unknown way it activated these bursts of gamma rays or some undiscovered physical-chemical phenomenon.

He had been working all day but there were limited results. After all, it was just a preliminary study - the concrete study would have to be done on the mothership. However, he was sure that the tumors were somehow related to the gamma ray. At dinner, he discussed the matter with the other researchers who were sitting on the same table. One of them was an expert in the field of neurobiology. He gave him a couple of ideas that got him thinking.
