Mr. Ke Yi replied hesitantly: "With our current level of technology, we can carry out simple processing on the black fog and then try to send it away. However, whether it can maintain its original characteristics after being sent away... this is hard to say." He looked at General Lille, waiting for further instructions.
"Okay, let's send them away!" General Lille made the decision without hesitation. He knew very well that this was the only feasible solution at the moment. After saying that, he immediately contacted the emperor of the empire and reported the situation in detail.
At the same time, on the distant Imperial Star, Farr also learned the news. "Black fog?" A trace of doubt and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, "It is also related to high-energy reactions, dark matter and antimatter? What the hell is this?" He couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Could this black fog be the substance secreted by the legendary eighth-level ancient star beast? If so, how powerful is this creature?" Farr looked at the light screen map in front of him, which showed a dark area covered by black fog. This was the result obtained by the virtual network master after countless scans. All the covered starry skies were like holes in the universe, swallowing up all information and life.
From the map, the area covered by the black fog is more than ten light years! This is really amazing! Farr's eyes flashed with worry and anxiety. He didn't know how his old friend Chris was doing now? Was he still safe? Could he keep in touch with the signal in the black fog and guide the "Tomorrow's Star" out of the fog? Otherwise, once the "Tomorrow's Star" lost its way in the black fog, it would never be able to come back.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the empire, Lu Xuanxin, who was in a spacious and bright study, was completely unaware of what was happening outside. She was immersed in a sea of books, concentrating on reading materials about the biology of the Lucifer Empire. She was extremely excited and fascinated by the study of the giant star beasts. These creatures had exceeded the limits and cognitive scope of human biology, giving wings to her imagination, allowing it to soar freely in the sky of science.
However, even after reading a lot of information, Lu Xuanxin did not find any relevant introduction or records about the fungus she had obtained. She was amazed by the power and mystery of this fungus. It could form a symbiotic relationship with carbon-based organisms and strengthen the biological functions of the host. This made her full of curiosity and awe for this creature, and she also began to think about the origin, background and technological level of the Berta people. Perhaps they really came from a more advanced civilization!
In our vast universe, the mystery of life always seems to be closely related to those tiny cells. Every beat of life and every breath are inseparable from the life and death of these cells. And the life span of cells is closely linked to a tiny structure called "telomere". Telomere is like the guardian of cell life span, and its length directly determines the life and death of cells.
On Earth, despite the efforts of many scientists to study this field, they have never been able to dig out the true secrets behind telomeres. However, in the distant and mysterious Lucifer Empire, scientists are at the forefront of the era in their research on telomeres.
The scientific research team of the Lucifer Empire has not only successfully extended the length of telomeres, but has also made significant progress in studying the regeneration capacity of telomeres. This groundbreaking research has greatly increased the life expectancy of the people of the Lucifer Empire. Thirty thousand years ago, when the life expectancy of most people was close to the theoretical limit of human beings, some people even broke the shackles of genes and lived longer.
However, time is a ruthless butcher knife that cannot be resisted. No matter how advanced technology is, the human body can never resist the erosion of time. Lu Xuanxin, a scientist who is passionate about life sciences, gradually became solemn as she studied the scientific research materials of the Lucifer Empire.
After hundreds of thousands of years of exploration, scientists have discovered that there is a limit to human gene and cell regeneration. When this limit is reached, no matter how hard science and technology try, life can no longer be maintained. Theoretically, this limit is one thousand years. After one thousand years, no matter how the telomeres regenerate or how the genes are strengthened, the human body will begin to decay. This decay is inevitable, just like the principle of entropy increase in the universe, it is an irreversible process.
Unless humans can change their life essence and transform from one life form to another, it is possible to get rid of this limit and gain a longer lifespan. However, this is not easy. Even the Lucifer Empire, with its highly developed technology, has not yet reached this level.
Lu Xuanxin fell into deep thought, her eyes revealing confusion and expectation for the future. She thought about the substance secreted by the super fungus. Could it really help her break through the limit of a thousand years? Could she really live for a thousand years? And could the regenerative ability of telomeres really begin to decline after a thousand years?
Lu Xuanxin found it difficult to accept the idea of changing into other types of life forms, such as silicon-based, iron-based or energy-based organisms. She sighed softly and decided to continue looking for other solutions.
While exploring life sciences, Lu Xuanxin also developed a keen interest in other strange creatures studied by the Lucifer Empire. She carefully checked the classification and family tree of the ancient star beasts. Whether it was silicon-based, iron-based creatures or those mysterious energy creatures, she was amazed. The vastness and mystery of the universe far exceeded the imagination of earthlings!
Just when Lu Xuanxin was immersed in the ocean of biology, a sudden incident broke her peace. Dean Farr received the shocking test results of the black fog sample sent back from the front. Scientists found that the black fog contained a large amount of known dark matter and antimatter, and some of them were unknown components that could not be matched in the database. In addition, the black fog also contained some special biological pheromones, which made everyone feel unprecedented pressure.
Dean Farr frowned. Could it really be some unknown creature? Judging from the posture, it might be an ancient star beast above level eight! However, the most urgent problem now is how to get in touch with the "Star of Tomorrow" in the black fog and plan an escape route for them. But how to do it specifically? Dean Farr showed a hesitant look on his face. He rubbed his temple irritably. This matter is really difficult to deal with.
"Let's issue the task!" After a little consideration, Dean Farr decided to gather everyone's wisdom and "Let everyone in the academy study this problem. Whoever can find a solution will be rewarded with the highest points!" Once this task was issued, it caused an uproar in the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences. Saving Admiral Chris and the "Star of Tomorrow" who were trapped in the unknown black fog became the focus of everyone's attention.
The news spread quickly in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and countless people joined the research of this topic for the generous rewards, possible opportunities for knighthood, and the protection of General Chris. At this time, Lu Xuanxin was looking for information in the library of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. She saw this task and fell into deep thought...
Has General Chris been arrested? Where is the Star of Tomorrow? Lu Xuanxin watched the news in shock for a long time. Her pretty face changed several colors in succession. Finally, she no longer hesitated and decided to go to the office of Vice President Farr to inquire about the situation. With her current status, she could naturally enter directly without reporting.
When Lu Xuanxin arrived at Farr's office, Farr was busy dealing with some research matters, and there were also some samples sent from afar. Although they were thousands of miles apart, Farr still hoped to have scientists stationed in the frontline fleet so that they could conduct comprehensive research, which was crucial to Farr's research. However, the current research results were not ideal, and Farr was very troubled. He frowned slightly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Antimatter and dark matter are relatively easy to deal with, after all, they are common forms of energy and can be analyzed by existing instruments. However, the research on biopheromones and energy is quite cumbersome. I wonder how many secrets can be found in the old friend black fog. And now I don’t know whether the eighth-level starry sky ancient beast has noticed it. The development of things is really unpredictable! Farr’s expression became more and more solemn.
At this moment, "Mr. Farr, Count Lu Xuanxin is here to visit!" The voice of the main brain suddenly sounded, interrupting Farr's thoughts. Farr responded without hesitation: "Please let her in!" After a while, Lu Xuanxin walked in, and she asked anxiously: "Mr. Farr, is Chris and Lucy in trouble?"
Farr smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, Chris went to explore the Styx galaxy 60,000 light-years away, but soon lost contact. We sent people to check and found that the place was shrouded in black fog. We suspect that it was an unknown ancient star beast above level eight that secreted a special black fog. This black fog has the ability to isolate signals, and even the dark universe is isolated. So the Star of Tomorrow completely lost contact." After saying that, he sighed, looking quite helpless.
Lu Xuanxin was slightly stunned, and then asked curiously: "Unknown ancient star beasts above level eight? What should we do now?" Fal frowned and replied: "We are trying our best to find a way to restore the signal in the black fog. We hope to contact the Star of Tomorrow first, and then make further plans. However, the current scientific research work has encountered a bottleneck. We know too little about these unknown creatures, and we know nothing about their pheromones. However, time is running out. We don’t know what state the Star of Tomorrow is in the black fog, and whether it will encounter danger. But the research is progressing too slowly!"
"Dean Farr, please don't worry. Our first priority now is to find a way to break the black fog. There is no point in being anxious." Lu Xuanxin said calmly. She wanted to rescue Chris very much, because these two people were not only her friends, but also her benefactors. Without their help, she would not be able to integrate into the Lucifer Empire so quickly. Therefore, as long as she could rescue them, she was willing to do her best. "But how should we find them?" Farr showed a helpless expression and spread his hands.
"Are the black mist and the material samples sent back by Mr. Chris still there?" Lu Xuanxin asked, his eyes flashing with determination. "They are all in my office, and my researchers are studying them." Fal hesitated for a moment, looked into Lu Xuanxin's eyes and answered.
"Can you take me to see it?" Hearing Lu Xuanxin's request, Fal looked at her with some doubt. Although Lu Xuanxin is a rare genius in the Lucifer Empire, she has been in the empire for less than a year! In such a short time, how can she absorb the vast amount of basic scientific knowledge in the empire? Does she want to directly participate in scientific research at this time? This is too outrageous!
However, despite his doubts, Farr agreed to Lu Xuanxin's request. "Okay! I'll take you there!" Farr stood up and took Lu Xuanxin to the laboratory.
When they entered the laboratory, Lu Xuanxin was first attracted by a huge glass tank. A spirit sucking beast was trapped in the tank, and it was constantly climbing and trying to break the glass tank. Although it failed every time, it did not give up. Its spirit of fighting again and again shocked Lu Xuanxin.
"This is the soul-sucking beast that Chris sent back at that time." Farr pointed to the creature in the glass tank and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. I thought it was just an ordinary thing. I planned to study it later. As a result, it was delayed for more than a month, but the changes of this soul beast became more and more obvious. My subordinates told me that something was wrong, so I started to arrange research. It turned out that it had a strong high-energy reaction. But when I planned to contact Chris to ask him to leave the galaxy, I had lost contact." Farr showed a look of regret after he finished speaking.
However, Lu Xuanxin was not too moved by Fal's regretful words. At this moment, she was concentrating on staring at the huge spirit sucking beast, with a look of surprise on her face. For some reason, she always felt that this spirit sucking beast was similar to the famous octopus-headed man in Cthulhu mythology, and also like some special god in mythology. It looked weird but full of power, which made her feel very unusual!
