Chapter 2, Thawing and Rebirth
In the headquarters of the Tian Dou Star branch of the Federal Academy of Scientific Research, a groundbreaking scientific experiment is currently underway
In the petri dish, due to the turbidity of the liquid, it is difficult to discern what exactly exists within it, yet all the scientists are somewhat anxious at this moment
Inside the enormous dome laboratory, hundreds of top scientists are busily engaged in their respective tasks. At the center of the laboratory, a large petri dish contains a humanoid figure submerged in liquid
The attention of the scientists turned towards it, and they were astonished to find that the originally turbid liquid in the petri dish had suddenly become transparent, and the human figure inside began to become increasingly clear
As the first administrative star discovered and successfully colonized by humanity, Tiandou Star has a history of several thousand years. This planet is approximately half the size of the original Douluo Star, with about fifty-four percent of its surface covered by oceans, of which forty percent is freshwater sea, while the remaining sixty percent is saltwater sea
The chief scientist sighed and said, "We were indeed careless and did not consider this situation. This experimental subject is likely quite extraordinary, and it may even be a soul beast that has cultivated into a human, which is why its physical strength is so high. It is now too late to change the needle. If I had known earlier, I should have applied to headquarters for the highest strength infusion needle. I will take responsibility for this."
This process took a full hour
The melting has concluded, and the main body is exposed. Should we begin the injection of the brain repair fluid and the organ repair fluid?
There is no need to prove his words, for in the next moment, through the transmission device, a faint heartbeat sounded, "thump, thump, thump, thump"
Her eyes were a pale purple, dull and lacking luster, revealing extreme fatigue. She stared blankly at the petri dish in front of her, raising her hand as if she intended to move it
Since the disaster caused by the Soul Beasts ten thousand years ago, the entire Douluo Star has begun to evolve due to misfortune turning into fortune, and humanity has subsequently set aside past grievances. After nearly a century of discussions and negotiations, the originally divided Douluo Federation, Tiandou Empire, and Xingluo Empire decided to merge, continuing to be referred to as the Douluo Federation. The former Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire transformed into two autonomous regions, historically known as the Tiandou Autonomous Region and the Xingluo Autonomous Region. These regions enjoy complete internal autonomy, yet share resources with the Federation, thereby accelerating scientific exploration and research
This is ... ...
She was a young girl, a stunningly beautiful young girl. Previously, she had been encased in thick layers of ice, preventing a full view of her appearance
As the figure gradually revealed its true form, everyone couldn't help but be somewhat stunned.
"Immediately inject soul guiding energy to initiate a strong stab | activate revival," the chief scientist decisively issued the command. However, his expression was already one of despair. Not only him, but the surrounding scientists also shared the same sentiment.
The longer the ice has been frozen, the longer it will take to melt.
"Wait a moment, look over there." Suddenly, an elderly female scientist on the other side pointed to the petri dish.
This is a thawing and revival experiment. The specimen was discovered in the extreme northern region of the home planet three hundred years ago. The body is remarkably well-preserved, with no wounds present. Due to the limitations of the technology at that time, no attempts were made to thaw it.
The Douluo Star, where the Douluo Continent is located, is now also referred to as the Mother Star. Tiandou Star, as the first administrative star to be colonized, is undoubtedly the most developed. Although the overall energy level cannot be compared to that of the Mother Star, everything here is not significantly different from the Mother Star. In particular, Tiandou Star is rich in minerals, containing various rare metals. It is precisely because of this that humanity has more power to continue interstellar migration. It is important to note that the resources consumed for each interstellar migration are astronomical figures.
In recent thousands of years, alongside humanity's development of more planets and the discovery of more substances, scientific progress has advanced by leaps and bounds. Multiple successful thawing and revival experiments have been conducted. Some organisms that have been frozen for several years have also been successfully thawed and revived
The corpse before us is conservatively estimated to have existed for over a thousand years. The thawing of a body that has been frozen for such a long time is unprecedented in human history, carrying epoch-making significance. Moreover, according to scientists' conjectures, the era in which this frozen individual may have existed is exceedingly ancient. If successful revival were to occur, it would not only bring scientific significance but also historical importance.
Her body was covered by a layer of silver gown, and her hair was also silver, with a slender figure. Although her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes still conveyed a captivating allure. The gaze of all the male researchers present was involuntarily drawn to her, leaving them momentarily dumbfounded.
Yes, repeat, start the injection
The laboratory has once again become busy, with scientists moving swiftly into action
Liquid poured out, oxygen injected. The girl's gaze seemed to grow even dimmer. She murmured with a vacant stare: "I am so tired, who am I? Where am I?"
The surface of the planet was originally devoid of life; it was only after the arrival of humanity that, through the power of technology, the entire surface of the planet was developed
Although the Heaven Dou Star itself does not harbor any life forms, it possesses an environmental foundation that is eighty percent similar to that of Douluo Star. According to estimates by human scientists, as long as the first cellular life appears, it may take only several tens of thousands of years to give rise to a planet with civilization. The arrival of interstellar colonization from Douluo Star will undoubtedly greatly accelerate this process
In preparation for today's thawing and revival experiment, the scientists have made thorough preparations and devised countless contingency plans
They are all very clear that the possibility of reviving the experimental subject is already very small. According to past experience, the brain and organ repairs must be conducted immediately after thawing the experimental subject in order for there to be any chance of survival. Blood is best preserved through cryogenic freezing, while the brain suffers the most damage. If the brain is not repaired immediately, the chance of revival is less than one percent. Unless it has only been frozen for a few hours. Moreover, this experimental subject has been frozen for thousands of years. If the brain is not repaired immediately, the chance of revival is less than one percent. Unless it has only been frozen for a few hours. Furthermore, the repair solution prepared for her is of the enhanced type, which cannot currently be injected into the body but is only being soaked externally, resulting in significantly reduced effectiveness.
Begin the injection
The nutrient solution was reintroduced into the petri dish, and the soul guiding energy continued to be infused. However, a strange situation arose; no matter how the nutrient solution was injected, the liquid in the petri dish remained clear. The girl's body seemed to devour all the nutrients and the infused soul guiding energy, akin to the vastness of the stars and the sea.
Accompanied by the infusion of soul guiding energy into the petri dish, a faint white halo began to emanate.
The scientists are somewhat excited; undoubtedly, the longer this body has existed, the greater the significance if she can be revived.
What? The old scientist, who was taken aback, knew all too well the strength of the alloy needle. Even something as hard as a mech could be easily pierced!
The reason for naming it Tiandou is to commemorate the once most powerful nation on the Douluo Continent
The scientists are busily engaged in their work
"Look, she just seemed to frown a little?" a keen-eyed young scientist suddenly pointed at the petri dish and said
For the scientists, this is simply the sound of heaven! What surprised them even more was that the eyelashes of the girl in the petri dish fluttered and slowly opened her eyes
Prepare to begin heating and melting. Add high-concentration biological nutrients. Prepare for the injection of soul guiding energy. Standing at the main position, an elderly scientist with white hair issued commands in a low voice.
"Chief, please do not say that. No one has considered this issue, and we should all share the responsibility!" a middle-aged man beside him quickly said
Hurry, increase the injection of soul guiding energy. It seems she is autonomously absorbing the nutrient solution in the culture dish, replace the nutrient solution quickly! The chief scientist shouted almost frantically, simultaneously awakening the dazed scientists.
But in the next moment, a piercing alarm sounded. "Emergency report, injection impossible. The alloy needle cannot penetrate the test subject and has already broken."
The body has melted smoothly, and it is now soft; however, the skin is exceptionally tough, making it impossible to pierce. Chief, what should we do now
Stop the infusion of the nutrient solution. Release the nutrient solution and inject oxygen. The chief scientist quickly issued the command. For those who have just awakened from cryostasis, the greatest fear is suffocation. This could likely lead to secondary brain death
It has begun to melt. Based on the rate of ice melting, the existence of the experimental subject is likely to be prolonged.
Is it not completely melted? Has the body itself not melted?
