Chapter 721 (1/2)
Froman, a red haired man, pulled out a tin box from his bed. He opened the box, took out a thick stack of documents from it, put them in front of him and said, ”these are the diaries of the base and some of the experimental reports. Over the years, we have found documents from the strongholds of andura. It helps us understand many things, including the fact that the papal chamber deceived us. ”
Zero came over, and froman left the room without disturbing him. So there was only one person left in the room, and the data had been sorted out, with the date as the axis. Although the information is incomplete, it can also give zero a rough idea. Unconsciously, time passed in reading. During this period, froman came in twice and brought some meat from the specimen and water with a certain amount of radiation.
Both food and water taste terrible. But they can provide some energy to zero, so zero doesn't mind eating them. As for the toxins or radiations contained in these two kinds of things, they are neutralized by the substances produced by the air. Of course, zero has better food. That's the brain crystal of andura. Froman has said that this thing can be absorbed and greatly enhance its own energy.
Zero also tried, but found that the effect is not as good as expected. To be sure, the energy reserves of brain crystals are considerable. If it can be absorbed completely, it is equal to 20% of the energy level of zero itself. Unfortunately, this is only a theoretical value. When the outer layer of the brain crystal is broken, the energy inside will evaporate quickly. Even if a part of it is cut off by the human body, there will be ”impurities” in the energy in the brain crystal that cannot be absorbed because of different life forms.
When these acrobatics are eliminated, the remaining energy is pitifully low, from 20% of the original theoretical value to 3%.
Of course, for people with low-level abilities or people with abnormal body like zogna, the value of brain crystals is still very high. The former is because the energy reserve is not on the same order of magnitude at all. The energy that is too small for zero is a huge number for a low-level person. The latter, due to physical changes, has a relatively lower requirement on the energy purity of brain crystals. Perhaps they are now absorbing brain crystals from adularia for many years, so the utilization rate of brain crystals for zogna people is undoubtedly the highest.
However, after returning to the fortress, we may be able to find an effective way to extract brain crystal energy through experiments, but all this will have to wait until we leave here.
The history of this base can be traced back to the period when the New Roman city was just established. According to the data, after the establishment of the city of Rome in that year, Solon won the papal throne and became the real master of the papal hall, he launched the bloody journey. After finally clearing almost all the dangerous species in the western continent, Solon began to build this secret base in the hinterland of the eternal mountains.
Like the central continent, biochemical technology was also developed in the western continent at the beginning. At that time, Solon's demand was to build an army of capable soldiers who must be absolutely loyal and strong. So at that time, the plan of the chosen was quietly born.
Solon won the respect of the whole continent with his great achievements. At that time, he was not outstanding. The people on the mainland, especially the young people, had a fanatical blind faith in him. They thought that he was the messenger appointed by God to save them. With this craze, Solon launched the ”project of the chosen”, recruiting strong young men and women aged 13 to 25 throughout the mainland, with the purpose of building an invincible army of iron and blood.
So from every corner of the mainland, all the people who meet the requirements are flocking to the New Roman city. There, they undergo rigorous examinations and physical tests. More than 90% of the people have been brushed down, and only about 10% of the young people are qualified, and quietly moved to the hinterland of the eternal mountains.
Those who were not elected at that time were very upset. They were the lucky ones. Because after the so-called chosen ones left Rome, there was no news coming back. They're either dead or they're Zog's out there.
Solon recruited them, not to train them into iron soldiers, but to transform them directly, so as to achieve his goal of building a capable army. At that time, the whole western continent was shrouded in a blind frenzy. Both soron and his scientists believed that they could change the course of life instead of the creator.
The overall victory of the bloody road has made these people's confidence expand to an unimaginable level. It can be imagined that under such a fanatical belief, any experiment simply lacks a lot of necessary data support. Sometimes, just a flash of inspiration, a laboratory director will immediately take a natural candidate to carry out experiments, and rarely carry out relevant verification on other organisms, so as to transform the human body.
In this case, the young men and women who were selected became white mice. For them, this base is no longer the paradise in their imagination, but the real hell!
