Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 395
Kassel College.

It is now afternoon, freshmen, freshmen and sophomores have just finished their special training and are heading to the cafeteria wiping their sweat.

"boom!"

The huge earthquake almost shattered the window glass of the surrounding buildings, and the outer walls of the adjacent buildings were cracked, and dust fell down.

A 10-meter-high flame of blood erupted from the well in front of the Hall of Valor. The students in the distance stopped and looked indifferent. None of them took out their mobile phones to take pictures, as if they had become accustomed to it.

The downhole is the underground laboratory of the equipment department. No need to guess, another accident must have happened, maybe it was a refining sulfur explosion, maybe a mercury steam pipe burst, or it was a new weapon that the equipment department recently announced would save the world...

The fire truck pulled its siren and flicked to a stop at the burning wellhead. The strong men of the school engineering department skillfully set up water hoses to spray the wellhead.

The Engineering Department of Kassel College came to the rescue.

They looked relaxed, chatting and laughing while doing homework.It is not worth making a fuss about such incidents happening every three days on the Hilltop campus.

"It's sulfur flames!" the person in charge of firefighting shouted, "Everyone, put on your gas masks!"

So the strong men put on gas masks, continued to calm down, and continued to fight the fire, and the fire was gradually brought under control.

The students lost interest after a few glances, and continued to walk towards the cafeteria, discussing the gains from today's special training in private.

For example, along the way, reflect on the small mistakes that occurred when the Pentagon firewall was overcome today, or what difficulties were encountered when cracking the encryption system of a certain satellite, or today
The younger brother asked the younger brother if there is any secret method that can be taught to the younger brother?
The senior brother patted the junior brother on the shoulder and said that everything is easy to say. As long as there are multiple pork knuckles on the dinner plate tonight, I will teach you how to spy on the stories that the Secretary of Defense and the secretary of the Pentagon have to tell...

Of course, although the students had gotten used to it, Mr. Manstein, the representative of the school and the manager of daily affairs, still angrily called the equipment department.

It's just that no one answered.

Not long after, the ground shook again, and a second stream of blood burst out of the dark mouth of the well, as if a fire-breathing dragon was roaring underground.

When Manstein made the tenth phone call angrily, the person in charge of the external affairs of the equipment department reluctantly answered the phone, saying that everything was under control, and there was no need to call desperately for questions about this small explosion. Is it the specific situation?Expect two or three more explosions to come, so be prepared.

Then before Manstein could question him, he hung up the phone.

Before hanging up, Manstein clearly heard someone shouting "One more time, all units are ready".

Manstein slammed his fist on the table angrily, "This is already the No. 17 time this week!"

Professor Schneider on the side pondered: "Has it been seventeen times? That's indeed a bit too much, twice as many times as before. It seems that their experiments are in full swing."

Manstein glared at him: "I'm afraid that before they develop new weapons, they will kill us instead of blowing up the enemy!"

Schneider said calmly: "Don't panic, they blow themselves up now, at least it's better than our soldiers blowing themselves up on the battlefield."

The corner of Manstein's mouth twitched, speechless.

The style of the equipment department is like this. In fact, he should have gotten used to it like everyone else, but Manstein felt that such abnormal things should not become normal because of everyone's acquiescence. At least one person should always warn those bastards Be quiet, or they will really blow up the school one day.

"I remember last year in the Equipment Department. Didn't the new alchemy weapon that claimed to be able to reverse the balance of power between humans and dragons succeed in the test?" Manstein suddenly frowned, "That time it was tested in the hinterland of the Sahara Desert, when the Pentagon's spy satellite observed When it came to that explosion, it was misjudged as a nuclear test."

"Oh, you said that time, I remember." Schneider remembered something, "It was a tactical missile equipped with a smelted silver warhead, combined with mercury smelting, nitrate refined from the ashes of Vesuvius, and the blood of the Holy Child. The explosion could fatally poison the dragons in the central area, but this thing obviously cannot be used in the city, so it is stored in the final arsenal."

Hearing "the last arsenal", Manstein frowned.

"Do you know what's in the 'Arsenal'?" he asked in a low voice.

"A lot, almost all the weapons with mass indiscriminate destruction have been thrown in." Schneider sighed regretfully, "You know, the most favored and powerful department in the school has always been the Equipment Department, and the school spends a lot of money every year. More than half of them are invested in the research and development of the equipment department, and the people who presided over the equipment department decades ago were figures such as Doug Jones and Blair Bitner who have left their names in the history of science."

Schneider spread his hands and said: "I admire the principal very much. He can bring the milestones in the history of modern science to him for scientific research. If there was no Doug Jones back then, the development of the atomic bomb in the United States would have been delayed by several years or more than ten years. "(Note 1)

Manstein said solemnly: "It's really hard to imagine what such a person has developed in the past few decades."

"It's just some large-scale weapons specifically aimed at dragons." Schneider said indifferently, "Some time ago, the principal approved the inspection of the 'Arsenal', and the Equipment Department has selected some of the most lethal weapons and opened up corresponding production lines."

"Already in production?" Manstein murmured, "It seems that the war is really not far away."

Schneider thought for a while: "The only problem now is that with the power of the academy alone, the production speed is too slow, but we dare not, and there is no way to share these weapon blueprints with any country. And it is really time to use these weapons At that time, it must have been indifferent to revealing the secrets of the Dragon Clan."

"This is the trump card of the Secret Party, right?" Manstein whispered, "Just like what Menek Kassel expected back then, the future belongs to technology, and humans will develop better guns and weapons. Cannons, use them to crush the Dragon Clan's ambition to subvert the world."

Schneider was silent for a moment: "Yes, maybe this is the root of the principal's unconditional support for the Equipment Department over the years."

In front of the "last arsenal", the monsters sealed under the ice cellar are not worth mentioning, as long as the former can be mass-produced and put on the battlefield.

As the ancient king of the Dragon Clan appeared in front of them, the Secret Party clearly knew that the plan to hunt the Black King with the monsters in the ice cellar was just a dream.

Fortunately, a weapon called science was born in their hands.

"By the way, you said earlier that the 'principal' approved the arsenal for production. Which principal are you talking about?" Manstein asked suddenly.

"It's our new principal, Caesar Gattuso." Schneider said in a low voice, "He said that he liked the words of senior Lu Shanyan very much. There is a mountain ahead, so we will climb the mountain; the sea is ahead, we will cross the sea; If it's a palace, we shoot! We have nothing and never defend."

"Yes, there is no time to hesitate, let's prepare for the battle with all our strength." Manstein nodded heavily.

He looked at the ten-meter-high blood flame rising again outside the window, felt the vibration coming from his feet, and couldn't help frowning: "What is the equipment department testing this time? Is it a tactical missile?"

"No, according to the deputy minister, they are researching a new type of special range weapon."

……

……

"As we all know, alchemy refers to the 'philosopher's stone' as the fifth element, which is the embodiment of 'spirit'. It is rumored that dead substances are everywhere in the Nibelungen. An alchemist once described that country... …There is no day or night, the sky is always filled with half-dark light. The ground and mountains are bronze and made of dead earth and metal, the sky is gray and made of dead air, and the fire is a cold blue Color, made of dead fire elements, water cannot float anything, because water is dead too. There are cities built of dead life's bones."

"The fifth element 'spirit' is enriched inside."

Having said that, the vice-minister of the equipment department looked at Lu Mingfei and the vice-principal seriously, "The vice-principal told us the rest."

The vice principal nodded.

"When we heard this, we had doubts. Why is there a lot of 'spiritual elements' in the Nibelungen? And why the Nibelungen is full of dead substances, because it is the country of the dead ? But even if it is the kingdom of the dead, is it innate or acquired? If it is innate, how did it evolve? Even the universe has a big bang theory."

Deputy Minister Carl looked at Lu Mingfei again: "School Manager Lu gave us the answer to this doubt, although we are not yet able to confirm whether the answer is reliable."

"Mr. Lu said that most of the Nibelungs are not congenital, but evolved. It is a fragment of the ancient, ancient world. Well, this is how Mr. Lu described it. We can't understand it for the time being. However, some of Director Lu's theories can still be justified for the time being. For example, the world has been destroyed several times, which also explains why it is a dead world, and the fifth element enriched in it is also the remains of dead creatures. 'Matter' in the Nibelung."

"If they can be called 'substances.'"

"Regarding the subject of spirit and soul, human beings began to study thousands of years ago. Our ancestors generally believed that the soul is real."

"Although it cannot be confirmed, the actual existence of the 'spirit' element can certainly prove the existence of the soul."

"Then, we had another question - the Philosopher's Stone made of the fifth element, known as the ultimate achievement of alchemy, purely spiritual elements, how can it kill dragons?"

Deputy Minister Carl asked in a deep voice, his eyes were wide open, and he looked around the room. Everyone nodded in agreement, showing doubts.

The vice-principal shrugged and said, "It was mentioned in the book "The Book of the Mysteries of Nature - The Fifth Element" by the master alchemist Raymond Luller that dragons study spirit and humans study matter. And the fifth element is able to break through the boundary between matter and spirit."

Deputy Minister Carl said indifferently: "This does not explain why the Philosopher's Stone can kill dragons, or even kill dragons exclusively."

"In the field of alchemy, it is believed that the Philosopher's Stone is a highly poisonous thing for the dragons. Once it is injected into the dragon's body, it is like a dagger quenched with arsenic for humans. The poison infects the dragon's whole body through blood circulation, and the cells quickly The earth is rotten, and the blood is as sticky as paint..."

"Then why is the Philosopher's Stone so poisonous to dragons?"

Deputy Minister Carl suddenly raised his voice and said, "We used one of Constantine's little knuckles to extract a 0.8-gram sage's stone, and we only used a 2.75-gram sage's stone to kill him." Grind stones into bullets!"

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Think about it, if we completely refine Constantine's keel, how many grams of Philosopher's Stone can be extracted?"

"Gentlemen, I must say that even poisonous snakes are usually not killed by their own poison!"

This sentence silenced the vice-principal.

Is this reasonable?It seems reasonable, and it seems unreasonable, but no alchemist has ever questioned it in the field of alchemy, because this is a generally accepted theorem in the field of alchemy.

But today, researchers representing science have issued a solo to the theorems that have been maintained for thousands of years with the attitude of "we question everything, including science itself" that science has always had.

Lu Mingfei didn't speak. He quietly looked at Deputy Minister Carl on the stage, waiting for the man's performance.

The Equipment Department specially invited him and the vice-principal here, saying that they had made great breakthroughs in the research of meteorites, and had new views and answers to some doubts in the past, and they needed the help of the two to verify them.

He came here as promised, and Deputy Minister Carl in front of him also gave him the expected surprise as promised.

The Philosopher's Stone is the materialization of spiritual elements. It is highly poisonous to the Dragon Clan, but where is the poison?
Since ancient times, there have only been four high priests and two kings who have mastered the spiritual element.

Speaking of which, the true use of the Philosopher's Stone was discovered by the hybrids. In the earliest era when dragons were rampant in the world, the dragons themselves did not realize that the Philosopher's Stone condensed with spiritual elements could easily kill their own kind.

Otherwise, the war between kings and kings would no longer be determined by the sword, but whoever sees the blood first will die first.

Deputy Minister Carl looked at the silence of the two special guests with satisfaction, which proved that the equipment department's discovery was a loophole that alchemists hadn't noticed for thousands of years.

"Aiming at this problem, we quickly carried out research and temporarily came to the following conclusions. Of course, it may be better to call it a guess at the moment."

"The first guess is, what kind of creature is the dragon?"

"A reptile with wings?"

"We received Herzog's research data and sorted out the part about the dragon gene."

"Karl Voss proposed the 'three-domain system' in 1977. The three-domain system believes that the evolutionary tree first splits into three trunks, and all creatures in the world are branches and leaves subdivided from the three trunks. Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, respectively."

"Theoretically, all creatures in the world must belong to one of these three domains."

"But dragons do not belong to any of these three domains. Herzog put forward the view of the fourth domain, the fourth domain of genes, the world of dragons."

Deputy Minister Carl said in a low voice. His expression was a little complicated. He had both admiration for someone and disgust for him. From Herzog's experiments, they could see a large number of human experiments, which violated scientific research. basic moral categories.

"On Herzog's material, we went further and refined our final point."

"The dragon family is a spiritual creature!"

　Note 1: The Academy of Sciences here is all old thieves changed their names.In addition, when I wrote this, it suddenly occurred to me that if there was a philosopher's stone between Herzog and Lu Mingze back then, it would have been over long ago, so how could so much blood be shed?
