At 7:25:30 AM on June 7, 2024, Ling Yi suddenly opened his eyes on the bed.
This is Ling Yi's 1055th restart.
"This time the harvest is huge." Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Leaving aside Ancient Gene, the seven visualization diagrams in the Visualization Technique alone are of extraordinary value.
"This world is really something else. Alien, the bizarre, cultivators—it's getting more and more interesting."
In Ling Yi's view, the Numa People didn't possess any Transcendent power at all.
Aside from its Parasitism ability, it is otherwise useless.
On the contrary, the strangeness and the cultivators aroused Ling Yi's great interest.
"However, these strange beings and cultivators seem quite different from what I imagined!"
"If the Divine Sense isn't affected by the reboot and can be brought back..."
Thinking of this, Ling Yi suddenly froze.
He could clearly feel the power of the Divine Sense in his mind; it was still there.
"It can't be true, can it?"
Ling Yi glanced at Miao Yun, who was combing her hair by the bedside, and with a thought, Miao Yun's head was jerked back as if it had been pushed hard.
He staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.
She touched her forehead in a daze, then looked at Ling Yi.
"What did you hit me with just now?" Miao Yun asked.
"Why would I hit you? Are you blind?!" Ling Yi Taunt.
"How dare you talk to me like that... Waaah!" Miao Yun was furious when she saw Ling Yi dare to speak to her like that, and was about to unleash a torrent of profanities.
But the next moment, she felt her mouth being sealed shut by an unseen force.
This left her bewildered at first, and then her face filled with terror.
"What are you doing? Waaah, are you sick in the head?!" Ling Yi pretended not to know, then turned around and left the bedroom with a look of disgust.
Miao Yun no longer had time to pay attention to Ling Yi's attitude. Instinctively, she wanted to step forward and grab Ling Yi, but she tripped over something and fell to the ground.
She fell hard, her chin hitting the floor, breaking several of her teeth. The pain almost made her faint.
"Bang!" The bedroom door slammed shut.
By the time Miao Yun got up, opened the bedroom door, and wanted to find Ling Yi, Ling Yi had already left.
Read the old script again.
Rescue a child about to run a red light, visit villa number 27, buy Computer, input Intelligence Algorithm, hack into confidential databases of various countries, Copy data, and send emails to the Special Incident Bureau.
At 9:18, I received a call from Director Bao. At 1:15 p. m., I arrived at the Special Incident Bureau's secret base.
Upon seeing Director Bao and his two companions again, Ling Yi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At 8:47 a. m. on the No. 8, the extraction of Ancient Gene from Volcano Blue-Green Algae began.
At 4:32 PM, the Ancient Gene extraction was successful.
This time, however, Ling Yi did not drink the Ancient Gene directly. Instead, he and Professor Bai Jinshan conducted various tests on the characteristics of the Ancient Gene.
Even if Ancient Gene Fusion with one's own genes, there will be no Changes, so drinking it will have no effect.
Perhaps we should test Ancient Gene first; we might find something useful.
After a day and a night of various tests, we have gained a deeper understanding of Ancient Gene.
First of all, Ancient Gene are extremely infectious; even skin contact with Ancient Gene can lead to immediate infection.
Secondly, Ancient Gene have an extremely high assimilation efficiency, capable of assimilating a segment of the gene chain in all cells of the body within just ten seconds.
This allows it to directly transform into Ancient Gene.
It is precisely through this method that Ancient Gene can complete the assimilation of all genes in a very short period of time.
Thirdly, once the Ancient Gene genes have Fusion and assimilated with other genes in the cell, they are like dormant dormant genes, never to be activated again.
A Little White infected with Ancient Gene will not infect other Little White, not even through blood exchange.
In other words, Ancient Gene will disappear once Fusion, invade, assimilate, or Fusion with the genes of other organisms.
This is true, at least under normal circumstances.
This result greatly disappointed Ling Yi. If the Ancient Gene lost these characteristics, then Ling Yi's research would be meaningless.
At this moment Ling Yi and Bai Jinshan are studying Volcano Blue-Green Algae.
At this moment, the Volcano Blue-Green Algae were placed in a transparent container.
The vessel was filled with water, and the bottom was covered with a layer of fine sand.
The vessel is currently heating up.
When the temperature reached 95 degrees Celsius, the Volcano Blue-Green Algae began to show obvious Changes.
The Volcano Blue-Green Algae, which were originally deep blue, have begun to turn into fine sand-like cesium, and their originally soft structure has become a shell similar to sand and gravel.
"It really is amazing," Bai Jinshan exclaimed.
Then, a portion of the Volcano Blue-Green Algae that had completely turned into sand was extracted and observed under a microscope.
"Completely devoid of all characteristics of organic life, this is just ordinary sand and gravel, but it contains a slight energy activity, like..."
"Circuit board!" Ling Yi added.
"Yes, it's like a circuit board!" Bai Jinshan nodded.
"It's unbelievable, how did they do that?"
"The key question is why Ancient Gene can have a Fusion and assimilation effect in Volcano Blue-Green Algae, but have no effect in other organisms."
"Does this mean that these Ancient Gene are like a lock, and you need to find the corresponding Key to unlock Ancient Gene true function?"
"Clearly, these Volcano Blue-Green Algae have unlocked the locks on their Ancient Gene."
Bai Jinshan nodded. "Try other materials."
Soon, the fine sand in the vessel was replaced with iron sand, and then another batch of Volcano Blue-Green Algae was added.
The result was the same: under a high-powered microscope, the body structure of Volcano Blue-Green Algae slowly Changes, transforming directly from an organism into Element.
"Holy crap, this is totally illogical!" Bai Jinshan couldn't help but curse.
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're a scientist, and you say it's unscientific? Is this even scientific?"
"But how do you explain this?" Bai Jinshan felt his worldview had been shaken.
" Professor Bai, broaden your horizons and try exchanging it for gold," Ling Yi said.
"Uh..." Bai Jinshan stared at Ling Yi, his eyes wide.
Then, it ran out.
A few minutes later, he walked in carrying a piece of Huangjin leaf, followed by Director Bao and Gu Yun.
Another ten minutes or so later, everyone was stunned to see the large, bumpy cesium particles on the Huangjin plate.
Director Bao gasped and asked, "Can we verify whether this is indeed Huangjin?"
"I'll do it," Gu Yun said, using tweezers to remove the gold nuggets from the gold plate.
Then he turned and ran out of Bai Jinshan's laboratory, returning to his own lab.
"Continue testing other materials," Director Bao said to Bai Jinshan, realizing the true value of the Volcano Blue-Green Algae.
Ling Yi, however, did not get involved.
The more powerful these Ancient Gene were, the more puzzled Ling Yi became. Why could these Ancient Gene function in Volcano Blue-Green Algae but not in other organisms?
There must be a missing step: activating Ancient Gene.
But what exactly is it?
I checked the time; it was already around 7 p. m. on the No. 9.
At this moment, Ling Yi walked to the instrument that extracted Ancient Gene, which was the large metal tank.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Could it be... temperature?"
"What temperature?" Director Bao asked.
"I'm wondering, since Ancient Gene can only be extracted at -255 degrees Celsius, is this -255 degrees Celsius the condition for activating Ancient Gene?"
"So?" Bai Jinshan asked.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but instead took out a test tube containing independent Ancient Gene and drank it directly.
" Ling Yi, have you gone mad?" Director Bao and Bai Jinshan exclaimed in shock.
Feeling the familiar warmth emanating from his body, Ling Yi shook his head. "I'm not crazy."
Ling Yi walked up to the large metal can, opened the lid, and jumped inside.
This metal canister is a cooling device capable of reaching temperatures as low as -255 degrees Celsius.
This is the same material we used when extracting Ancient Gene from Volcano Blue-Green Algae.
"You're planning to Freeze yourself? You still say you're not crazy?" Bai Jinshan immediately understood what Ling Yi was trying to do.
"Get out of here right now! You're messing around! Have you forgotten that Volcano Blue-Green Algae die at temperatures below -70 degrees Celsius?"
"Perhaps other organisms are different from Volcano Blue-Green Algae?" Ling Yi naturally knew this as well.
He was well aware that he might very well freeze to death.
But he wasn't afraid of the glitches; a glitch was just a restart.
What if it succeeds?
" Ling Yi, stop fooling around." Director Bao said, reaching out to Ling Yi away.
" Director Bao, Professor Bai, Volcano Blue-Green Algae have existed since ancient times; they have existed on Blue Star for at least 100,000 years."
"In fact, the Ancient Gene in Volcano Blue-Green Algae Volcano Blue-Green Algae may have been activated as early as 100,000 years ago, which is why they have the ability to assimilate other substances and change their life forms."
"We have absolutely no way of determining how Ancient Gene were activated from Volcano Blue-Green Algae."
"You know, I only have a few days to live; my time is running out."
"But you don't need to conduct the tests yourself, do you?" Director Bao shook his head.
"It's difficult to accurately describe the Changes during testing using Little White, since Little White can't talk."
"Besides, even if I were to die, it would just be a restart."
As Ling Yi spoke, he directly used his Divine Sense to press the start button on the Computer.
The next moment, the metal can slowly closed, completely sealing Ling Yi inside.
"Stop it quickly!" Director Bao exclaimed in alarm.
But it was too late; the jar had already started emitting a slight humming sound, which meant it had officially started.
On the Computer screen, the temperature reading instantly dropped below minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Then it's minus sixty degrees, minus ninety degrees.
By then, even if the equipment is stopped, it's too late.
Ling Yi not only started the device, but also activated the Rapid Speed mode.
"That's a Madman." Director Bao slapped his hand hard and frowned.
In less than three minutes, the temperature inside the jar reached -255 degrees Celsius.
But Ling Yi was not restarted at this time; his consciousness remained.
Not only that, from the Rapid Speed Freeze of the body to the complete loss of Perception, and then to the restoration of Perception, from intense pain to the feeling that the body is burning like Huoyan.
Throughout the entire process, Ling Yi remained fully conscious.
At this moment, Ling Yi felt as if some kind of power had awakened within his body.
It was this power that allowed Ling Yi to survive in an environment where survival seemed impossible.
And this is the power of Ancient Gene.
The moment when the power of Ancient Gene awakens is when the temperature reaches -255 degrees Celsius.
Clearly, Ling Yi's guess was correct.
