" Zhang Yuanshan!!!" Hu Yu teleported the holographic projection to Zhang Yuanshan's side and shouted loudly.
Despite Hu Yu's loud shouts, Zhang Yuanshan continued to survey his surroundings as if nothing had happened.
" Zhang Yuanshan!!! Answer me!!!"
" Zhang Yuanshan?" Finally, Zhang Yuanshan responded. "Who am I? Who is Zhang Yuanshan? I am Zhang Yuanshan?"
"You are not Zhang Yuanshan. Get out of this body now."
"Come out?"
Zhang Yuanshan hesitated for a long time. Finally, a cloud of gas separated from Zhang Yuanshan's body and slowly gathered together to form another Zhang Yuanshan. The real Zhang Yuanshan collapsed to the ground as soon as the gas cloud came out.
"Who are you?" Hu Yu asked.
The gaseous Zhang Yuanshan did not answer. It looked at the real Zhang Yuanshan and paced back and forth in the room, mimicking a human's walking posture. It even sat down in a chair and mimicked a human's contemplative posture, supporting its forehead with its right hand, its brows furrowed, its eyes closed, looking slightly pained.
At this moment, gas clouds began to continuously emerge from the control systems of the warships in the outer encirclement. However, they did not take on human form, but rather became actual gas clouds of varying sizes. They no longer remained in a thin state, but instead coalesced into thick clouds several meters in diameter.
Seeing this, Hu Yu felt slightly relieved. The culprit that caused the warship to lose contact was definitely these gas clouds, which were exactly the Nebula Lifeform he had previously guessed. The high curvature of the spatial distortion had indeed severed their connection with the leader. However, even if the connection was severed, they shouldn't have acted like idiots. After all, these Nebula Lifeform could easily control the Wind Master. Without highly developed intelligence, it would be impossible to control the Wind Master in a short time. Even humans would need at least a month to learn the basic operations of the Wind Master.
These gaseous lifeforms didn't seem to be faking it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the robot army brought the plates into the Wind Master, trapping the gas clouds into boxes and regaining control of the Wind Master.
Inside a box, Hu Yu ordered the robot to inject an antiparticle beam. Soon, the gas cloud began to explode with crackling sounds on its surface, and the gas cloud immediately spread throughout the entire box. Unfortunately, the box was of limited size, and with layers of defense, the gas cloud could neither expand further nor penetrate inside. The double cage of high current and strong magnetic field meant that no matter how powerful the gas cloud was, it could not escape.
As antimatter particles continued to be injected, the gas cloud continuously contracted and expanded, and a faint electric current began to flicker within it, seemingly in great pain. Finally, the electric current in the gas cloud disappeared, and the gas cloud completely turned into gas, evenly distributed within the box. No matter how many antimatter particles were input, there was no further movement, and consciousness dissipated.
Hu Yu ordered several more experiments to be conducted. The antimatter particles were undoubtedly the most effective; as long as a certain quantity was reached, they could annihilate the consciousness of the gas cloud. However, high-voltage current and strong magnetic fields were not so easy to use. When the high-voltage arc was inserted into the box, the gas cloud made obvious attempts to avoid it. Even if it could not avoid it, the gas cloud was ionized, and its struggles were far less intense than those in the antimatter particle experiment.
Only when the high-voltage electric arc inside the box reaches a certain level will the gas cloud dissipate. The same applies to strong magnetic fields. As for other types of radiation, they are not much different. As long as the energy level and flux do not reach a certain level, the gas cloud will not be affected. Moreover, the gas cloud has another characteristic: even if it loses some gas molecules, as long as it retains its consciousness, it will slowly replenish the surrounding gas.
No wonder they can survive in this Nebula Region. Even the energy level of a supernova explosion is not high enough to destroy them. As long as they are not in the core area of the explosion, they can be protected from harm. The power of a supernova explosion should not be underestimated. It is a super celestial body second only to a neutron star explosion. However, the dense matter in the Nebula Region also provides invisible protection for Nebula Lifeform, preventing high-energy waves from directly impacting their gaseous structure.
Various experiments are underway, but what puzzles everyone is that these gas clouds do not exhibit any signs of high intelligence. Scientists have tried various methods to establish communication with them, but all to no avail. Previously, these Nebula Lifeform invaded Zhang Yuanshan's body and controlled Zhang Yuanshan to communicate with Hu Yu, so their intelligence is definitely no less than that of humans.
The answers to all questions were almost perfect, something that Nebula Lifeform behaving in ways that could not possibly achieve. Scientists speculate that this could only be possible if these Nebula Lifeform were remotely controlled like human robots.
Judging from the current situation, the danger to Earth Two has been basically eliminated. The next step is to deal with the ragtag fleet that is about to arrive. It is easy to divide and surround the 10,000 warships led by Zhang Yuanshan who are under control, but the same method cannot be applied to the fleet that is about to arrive. At least in terms of numbers, this fleet has 5 million more ships than the Wind Master.
The ragtag fleet in the distance continued to advance. Ten million Wind Master, carrying two million small ships, went forward to meet the enemy. As a precaution, five million Wind Master and one million small ships were left near Earth Two. The small ships were all equipped with antimatter particle beam weapons. Originally, they were to form the defense system of Earth Two, but since the weakness of the Nebula Lifeform had been discovered, it was better to eliminate them directly from a distance.
The real Zhang Yuanshan has been transferred out. He still has vital signs, but remains in a deep coma. Medical staff found no external or internal injuries during the examination. However, Zhang Yuanshan's brain waves are so weak that they can be ignored, like a lamp flickering in the wind, which could go out at any moment.
Hu Yu summoned all of the fleet's top neurosurgeons to join Academician Xiao in a consultation to examine Zhang Yuanshan. Hu Yu's demand was that Zhang Yuanshan be saved at any cost; a hero could not be allowed to perish.
The experts and Academician Xiao studied the treatment plan together and discussed it for a long time, but they could not reach a conclusion. This was the first time they had seen such a situation. The brain waves were weak, but everything else was normal. At this time, they did not even dare to conduct further brain examinations on Zhang Yuanshan, for fear that the slightest stimulation would extinguish the last trace of brain waves.
After several days of observation, Zhang Yuanshan's condition neither improved nor worsened. The experts couldn't think of any other solutions and could only keep Zhang Yuanshan in the intensive care unit, relying on external intervention to sustain his life.
" Academician Xiao, is there really no other way?"
"No, I'm not as knowledgeable about these things as these experts, but don't worry, I've observed him, Zhang Yuanshan's condition is very stable, as long as he's well cared for, he won't die."
"Sigh, it's all my fault. In recent years, apart from military technology, I haven't paid enough attention to other aspects. We still have Planet-Level technology, and a lot of Star-Level technology. If all our technologies reached the stage of Star System-Level Civilization, Zhang Yuanshan might be able to cure us."
