Destroy It?
Niu Keli didn't know how to comfort Liang Shi, who had become somewhat withdrawn.
Scientific research is sometimes so magical; often you may not get what you want, but you can get what others want.
In order to Liang Shi, Yi Xuan had to adapt and tell him many interesting stories from the scientific community that he had heard in his previous life, which barely saved Liang Shi from the brink of collapse.
Fortunately, Liang Shi was trained by Yi Xuan, so he still had a basic sense of awe for science.
The reason he couldn't accept it before was mainly because he had invested time and effort in it.
But that's how science works; it doesn't mean that investing enough resources and time will necessarily bring a return.
Scientific research is inherently a path of continuous trial and error.
Those who actually succeed are extremely rare. Even someone like Yi Xuan, who possessed the Book of Technology, couldn't guarantee that every step he took was correct.
Seeing that Liang Shi had almost recovered, Yi Xuan once again called on Niu Keli to begin researching Godzilla's growth problem.
According to Liang Shi, starting two months ago, he began releasing the radiation-resistant organisms he had cultivated into the radiation zone outside the base. It was from that time that Godzilla's size began to grow rapidly.
In other words, the nuclear radiation-resistant organisms cultivated by Liang Shi actually promoted Godzilla's development.
Yi Xuan quickly instructed No. 01 to provide a detailed report on the situation inside Godzilla's body.
Then, a full-view perspective of Godzilla appeared in front of the three on the holographic projection.
This image perfectly illustrates Godzilla's physical condition.
Liang Shi, who was the most knowledgeable about biology among the three, immediately noticed something was wrong.
"There!"
Yi Xuan and Niu Keli looked in the direction Liang Shi was pointing.
It was the Arc Reactor that was closest to Godzilla's mouth.
The reactor is now in a fundamentally different state from when it was first implanted.
According to the trio's original plan, the Arc Reactor, as a crucial component providing energy to Godzilla, would be isolated separately within its body.
The Ark's energy will be converted into bioenergy through an energy conversion device developed by Yi Xuan, and then output to Godzilla to provide the energy it needs for life.
But now, the barrier between the Arc Reactor that Liang Shi was pointing to and the Godzilla organism has vanished.
The entire space containing the Arc Reactor was filled with the tissue fluid from Godzilla's body, and a fleshy membrane even appeared on the surface of the Arc Reactor, completely enveloping it.
As for the energy conversion device used in conjunction with the Ark, it was now covered with fresh flesh and blood. As it converted energy, the flesh and blood on it trembled as if it were breathing.
"What... what's going on?"
Yi Xuan was so shocked by the scene before him that he didn't know how to speak.
Although Liang Shi, who was standing to the side, also looked incredulous, he still examined it carefully and said with a trembling voice, "Master, Godzilla is actually fusing with the Arc Reaction Furnace!"
"What's the meaning?"
Niu Keli really didn't understand Liang Shi's meaning, so he quickly pressed for an answer.
Liang Shi patiently explained, "It means that Godzilla's body is devouring the Arc Reactor! And it's not just ordinary devouring, but rather replicating its functions while devouring it!"
At this point, Liang Shi pointed to the energy conversion device, which was now covered in flesh and blood, and said, "See? The energy conversion device is starting to be devoured! If you don't believe me, you can try the control methods we left inside Godzilla and see if they still work!"
Upon hearing Liang Shi's words, Yi Xuan immediately accessed the control system of the Arc Reactor inside Godzilla's body.
Compared to the other arks that haven't been swallowed up yet, the ark they're seeing now is indeed experiencing delays in control.
Moreover, as Liang Shi said, the energy conversion device, which had been devoured by flesh and blood, had indeed gone out of control.
"It seems I was right. He's actively growing, both physically and in the integration of various devices within his body! And either way, it requires a huge amount of energy, not just nuclear energy, but also bioenergy! My experimental subjects must have been consumed by him to evolve their bodies!"
Therefore, Yi Xuan quickly had No. 01 connect to the mind control chip inside Godzilla's body.
If the mind-control chip faces the same problem as the Ark, that would be troublesome, meaning Godzilla could go out of control at any time.
If this powerful weapon gets out of control, Yi Xuan doesn't know how he'll handle the situation.
Fortunately, No. 01 quickly provided feedback, confirming that the mind-control chip remained intact on the surface of Godzilla's brain.
However, for safety's sake, Yi Xuan still had No. 01 project the condition of Godzilla's brain.
After zooming in countless times, the three of them fell silent as they stared at the screen.
After being magnified a hundredfold, Yi Xuan and the other two finally discovered that the mind control chip was also showing signs of being devoured.
It seems that because it's located in the brain, the absorption process is much slower.
This also shows that Yi Xuan's concerns were not unfounded; Godzilla really could go out of control.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan's face turned extremely ugly. He never expected that the thing he feared most would still happen.
From a scientific research perspective, being uncontrollable means failure. In other words, even if this Godzilla has reached the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm, it is still a failed product.
The best outcome for failed products is destruction.
Helpless, Yi Xuan had no choice but to have No. 01 retrieve the self-destruct program from the brain control chip.
Niu Keli and Liang Shi, seeing this, realized what Yi Xuan was about to do and quickly stepped forward to stop him, asking Yi Xuan to reconsider.
Yi Xuan was also reluctant to part with it. But a failed product is a failed product, and timely destruction is the only way to stop the loss; otherwise, Yi Xuan might face even greater losses.
Just as Yi Xuan was about to press the destroy button, Liang Shi's voice reached his ears. "Wait, Master! No, look! Something's wrong!"
Yi Xuan looked in the direction of Liang Shi's gaze and saw that he was pointing at the energy conversion device that had already been swallowed up.
At the same time, Liang Shi excitedly asked, "No. 01, calculate the energy output frequency of this energy conversion device that is being absorbed."
No. 01 quickly responded. Looking at the output frequency of the energy conversion device, Yi Xuan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Liang Shi in disbelief. "Nothing's changed?"
"Yes! Even though it was swallowed up, the newly formed energy conversion device strictly follows the program we set for it!"
"So, this is also the case with mind-control chips? They not only replicate the device inside the body, but also the control code within that device!"
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Godzilla is indeed evolving, but it is within a controllable range!
