Chapter 272: Scientific Debate (110k Explosion)

"This really does fit the predator's law of survival of the fittest, though this evolution is happening way too fast..." Lin Xian muttered to himself in a low voice.

"What are you saying?" Chen Sixuan asked.

"Nothing, what did you need me for?"

Chen Sixuan looked at the armor plates densely packed on the roof of the train and the platform below, then looked at Lin Xian with a worried gaze: "You've been busy all night, leave the rest to us, go get some rest."

Lin Xian shook his head upon hearing this: "It's not finished yet, there's still a lot to do. Don't worry, my energy is still pretty good right now. Once everyone else wakes up later, I'll have them help out."

Seeing Chen Sixuan's condition, Lin Xian decided not to wake the resting team members, letting everyone sleep until they woke up naturally. Such rest was extremely rare, and it was clear that it was of great help to the physical condition of everyone on the train.

At the same time, Lin Xian also filled Chen Sixuan in on the situation within the city. After completing the armor upgrade, he planned to have everyone go to the Phoenix Society's Nightwalker organization for testing, and while at it, wander around the various camps in the city to gather intelligence and news, and trade for some supplies.

If circumstances allowed, he also wanted to give them some free time to move about in this relatively safe city; sometimes, psychological pressure is often greater than physical issues.

These dozens of people had hardly had a moment to relax since leaving the Yubei Airport, and even a little girl like Shasha had become quiet.

"We currently have 41 first-grade blood crystals, 5 second-grade blood crystals, and 1 third-grade blood crystal." Chen Sixuan, hearing Lin Xian's words, told him the current reserves on the train: "As for supplies, we traded for quite a bit at Hengshan Pass, so all food and water are not lacking for the time being. We might need some hygiene products, but other than that, there's nothing else."

Lin Xian nodded: "Then for us right now, the most important things are the train issue, as well as the weapons and ability issues."

Once food and water were resolved, the next issues were the living environment and defensive strength.

Facing monster tides, the train's defense, power, how to drive without being restricted by tracks, facing strange entities and dark-side invasions, individual physical fitness, mental strength, and combat power, etc...

Clang~

Lin Xian placed the armor plate he had manufactured onto the crane, then operated the crane to lower it onto the platform below. Although each carriage armor plate used composite armor rather than pure steel, they still weighed over two tons each, and each carriage side panel was assembled from nearly 8 armor plates of different specifications.

In one night, he had only managed to finish about half, and then he ran into the material problem again, because the conversion and preparation of tungsten-titanium alloy required too much ordinary steel.

Whew~

Looking at the armor plates densely packed on the platform to the right of the train, Lin Xian let out a long sigh and said: "Let's leave it at this for now. Let's finish the right side today, and then do the left side tonight."

The armor on the right side had suffered the most severe combat damage, and Lin Xian was starting from the most critical areas.

There were only a few hours left until dawn, and he still had to find Zhou Wuer and Mo Nika. He kept his schedule very tight; if necessary, Lin Xian was prepared to go directly to trade for some high-grade armor materials to improve efficiency.

Buzz buzz~

At this moment, several military snowmobiles in the distance were driving rapidly through the wind and snow, heading straight toward the Infinite.

"It's the Phoenix Society." Chen Sixuan had excellent eyesight and saw the logos on those vehicles from far away.

Lin Xian's expression shifted, and he clapped his hands. He had anticipated that people from the Phoenix Society might come looking for him, but he hadn't expected them to arrive before dawn.

"Let's go down and see."

"Jump down?" Chen Sixuan asked subconsciously. She hadn't had this doubt at all when coming up just now, but now she was starting to doubt her own abilities.

Lin Xian smiled: "Chen Laoshi, you can jump higher than me now."

Chen Sixuan opened her mouth. Lin Xian's words inexplicably gave her a sense of déjà vu that she had become a monster. Looking at the white snow below the carriage, she took a deep breath, suppressed the pressure in her heart, and leaped down directly.

Whoosh~

Her body was agile, her vision focused. In that instant, she seemed to be able to clearly feel her movement speed, the height of the descent, and all the muscles in her body were mobilized. In the moment she was in the air, she could even feel that the snowflakes in the air had slowed down slightly.

As she landed lightly, the trepidation in Chen Sixuan's heart completely dissipated. Immediately surging up was a lightness that came after transcending the limits of movement, a confidence that she had ten thousand powers accumulated and was capable of anything. This caused the original timidity and softness deep in her heart to begin to recede, gradually becoming firm.

She turned her head, raised her face, and looked at Lin Xian with a warm and firm gaze.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian also gave a light smile, walked forward, and leaped off the train.

At this time, those snowmobiles also arrived. The doors opened, and a thin, middle-aged man with messy hair and thick glasses got out of the car with a look of joy, immediately shouting at Lin Xian.

"Lin Dui!"

Lin Xian looked over, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Wei Kexue?"

"It's me, it's me!!"

Meeting an old friend made Lin Xian feel extremely surprised. The memory of repairing the gate and the climbing elevator with Wei Kexue at the Yubei Airport was still vivid, but after learning from Zhou Wuer that the airport support team had perished, Lin Xian thought Wei Kexue was gone too. He hadn't expected to see him again in Xilan City.

At this moment, Wei Kexue's appearance was completely different from when he was at the airport. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his face was covered in messy stubble, and he looked much more weathered and dejected, with only the eyes behind his glasses still carrying a burning vitality.

Wei Kexue jumped off the snowmobile's track. At this time, an old man of about fifty or sixty with a vigorous face walked out from the car. Wei Kexue wanted to help him down, but the old man waved his hand stubbornly to signal him to move aside. He then jumped down from the edge of the track himself, almost losing his footing, and then hurriedly stumbled through the snow layer, walking quickly toward Lin Xian.

"Lin Dui, it really is you. When I saw the test data submitted by the courier group writing 'Infinite', I thought I had misread it." Wei Kexue said excitedly as he walked over.

Lin Xian walked up and hugged him, saying: "Didn't I hear that your group had an accident?"

Wei Kexue opened his mouth upon hearing this, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped, then hurriedly explained: "There was an accident, but I was lucky enough to survive. I was found in a pile of dead bodies by people from the Phoenix Society, and now I've been assigned to the Xilan station research team."

After he finished speaking, he immediately introduced the old man beside him.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Professor Guo Sicheng, the leader of the Xilan Joint Research Group. He is my mentor and now my superior. He is very advanced in the research of cold dark fundamental particles."

"Hello, Guo Sicheng. You are the captain of the Infinite fleet, right? Was that research data provided by you?"

Lin Xian looked at Wei Kexue, then nodded to this Professor Guo: "It was."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately took off his gloves and shook hands with Lin Xian very solemnly.

Lin Xian had thought that if the Phoenix Society came to find him, it would be because of ability-related matters. He hadn't expected the first to come looking for him to be the research team.

When shaking hands, Lin Xian observed carefully. He saw that the collar of the old professor's cold-weather gear was still tucked into the neckline, and the buttons were misaligned, making him look like he had left the house in a hurry.

Guo Sicheng noticed Lin Xian's gaze, looked down, gave a sheepish laugh, and said while adjusting his collar: "I came out in a bit of a hurry, no matter, no matter."

At this time, Wei Kexue said with excitement: "As soon as the teacher received your research data, he called all the researchers together and held a discussion meeting for several hours. For this, he found his superiors to apply for some specific experimental equipment and assistance personnel, just to restore the experimental process as soon as possible. However, it was unfortunate that a dispute arose with the people from the Emperor Project group over there, so that's why we came to find you in such a rush without prior notice. Knowing that you just escaped death, and still disturbing your rest, I hope you can forgive us."

"Emperor Project?"

Lin Xian was a bit surprised upon hearing this. How did the research on the dark mark get involved with the people from the Emperor Project?

Just as he finished speaking, quite a few people who looked like laboratory researchers got off the snowmobiles, most of whom were older. Behind them, in the following vehicles, Lin Xian saw Yu Yuheng of the Emperor Project group.

"Lin Dui." Yu Yuheng also walked up in a rush, with a somewhat awkward smile: "I haven't had a chance to thank you for your assistance before, and now I'm disturbing you again."

Lin Xian looked at these two teams, feeling a bit puzzled. The Joint Research Group mainly studied abilities and dark tides, while the Emperor Project group studied mecha warfare. How could they have a dispute because of the research data he provided?

"Professor Guo, Team Leader Yu, what is this about?"

"It's like this." Yu Yuheng spoke first: "The Xilan Command Center is currently studying the evacuation route for two days from now. Although our Emperor Project group is not part of the original plan for the garrison troops here, we still have an obligation to synchronize with brother departments regarding the situation we encountered in the Trakama Ice Valley. We believe this is a very abnormal strange entity cluster phenomenon, so we combined the contact data of our Type-01 mecha with S-level entities and communicated with the people from the research team here, preparing to provide an effective suggestion to the superior command."

"And then..." Yu Yuheng looked at Professor Guo's team: "Professor Guo's side seems to have a very unique view on the characteristics of dark creature appearances."

Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan looked at each other upon hearing this. Why would a dispute between research teams come looking for him?

"What view?" Lin Xian asked.

"Dark Mark!" Before Lin Xian's voice had even faded, Guo Sicheng walked out and looked at Lin Xian, speaking excitedly: "Your naming is very accurate. Our Phoenix Society's global research groups have proposed over a dozen different conjectures on the subject of dark creature movement patterns, the purpose of which is to find the logic behind these dark creatures' appearances, including the pack hunting effect, hunter tracking, soul-swaying value attraction, ability user co-frequency, etc., etc. But so far, not one has been experimentally verified. But you, you, you..."

Professor Guo's tone was very urgent, looking at Lin Xian: "How did your observation data manage to achieve a 99.9% accuracy rate in judging the appearance of strange entities under the premise of a single experimental subject without cutting into the soul-swaying value data?"

99.9%?

Lin Xian thought to himself upon hearing this, Director Ding is truly rigorous...

Professor Guo's words left Lin Xian unable to digest them for a moment. Wei Kexue on the side hurriedly added: "Lin Dui, the teacher also proposed a 'Bonfire' theory before. Coincidentally, this basically matches the Dark Mark you mentioned. Although it currently lacks effective theoretical support, our research group has compared the results from the survey data of many survivor fleets, and currently, many other teams are increasingly leaning toward this theoretical conjecture. It's just that we can't find the factual basis for the existence of this 'Bonfire', and even from the perspective of behavioral logic..."

"From the perspective of behavioral logic, it completely fails to conform to biological behavior!"

At this time, Yu Yuheng stood out and said unceremoniously: "Any creature in the natural world takes survival and reproduction as its main behavioral logic. Our current subject has already discovered that there is a hierarchy among these dark creatures, and this hierarchical difference also possesses some form of command order. This is enough to show that there is some communication ability among dark creatures, rather than needing to spread through the medium of 【humans】."

"Your result comparison only refers to the periodic death data of survivor fleets, which obviously doesn't have any reference significance. In the current environment, everyone knows that every time a dark tide comes, it's a huge survival test. It's perfectly normal for the death rate to get higher and higher!"

"But this cannot explain the logic of these creatures' appearances!!" Professor Guo argued with him again in public upon hearing this: "Why is it that once the same target has been attacked, after escaping, it will be attacked by different creatures in different areas? Elementary school math taught us to grasp the constant in the variables, and humans are the constant in this!"

Yu Yuheng immediately retorted: "The appearance of dark creatures is inherently uncertain. This is essentially a problem of darkness, not a problem of humans. No one knows what monsters will appear in the same area after darkness."

Yu Yuheng became more anxious as he spoke, then looked at Lin Xian and said: "Lin Dui, isn't our encounter in the Trakama Ice Valley the best example? High-level strange entities can drive those snow demons and snow devils to surround and attack us, attracting all the snow demons in the surrounding area. If we follow the 'Bonfire' theory, how do we explain the differences in this?!"

"So your meaning is, whether we encounter strange entities in the darkness depends entirely on luck?" Another middle-aged professor from the research group side also spoke up.

"At least we can't see the behavioral patterns of dark creatures during the day, that's the problem!" People from the Emperor Project group also stood out and said.

Professor Guo tapped his palm with his finger: "The constant in the variables! The constant in the variables! Let's focus on this most basic problem first, don't amplify it!"

"If dark creatures could see us during the day and communicate and transmit in the darkness, wouldn't that be very easy to explain?" Yu Yuheng also argued.

"Oh right, the monsters in Yubei City called the monsters in the Weihe River to tell them that our support team was going there, so they were attacked immediately after entering the night, right?!!" Another old man from the research group side said, refusing to be outdone.

For a time, the two groups of people started arguing fiercely as soon as they disagreed.

Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan looked at this scene, feeling somewhat inexplicable. Wei Kexue walked out with a difficult expression and said to Lin Xian: "They've been arguing like this, they've been arguing all night already."

"What are they arguing about?"

Wei Kexue said: "Because the Emperor Project group also submitted a research inference of theirs to Supervisor Zhao, which might change the subsequent action decisions of the Xilan Phoenix Society, so they started arguing about this issue all of a sudden."

Lin Xian asked puzzledly: "Why would the Emperor Project group interfere with this subject?"

"It's not interference." Wei Kexue took a breath, looked at Lin Xian, and said: "The behavioral logic of dark creatures is not just a problem that the Nightwalkers or the Emperor Project group needs to study. This subject belongs to a common problem for all of humanity. For this problem, arguments between various subject groups have become commonplace. Now that cold dark fundamental particles have come out, all of us feel that we should be able to quickly uncover the communication logic of dark creatures, so my teacher's research group, including Team Leader Yu and their secret mission, all have content in this regard."

"Simply put, the team on Team Leader Yu's side believes that my teacher's 'Bonfire' theory doesn't hold water at all."

Chen Sixuan looked at the two groups of people arguing more and more fiercely, and couldn't help but say: "Why are they so at daggers drawn?"

Wei Kexue said helplessly.

"I support the teacher's theory, but actually, I can understand both sides. You participated in the Trakama Ice Valley rescue, so you should also know that the Emperor Project group sacrificed many people this time. Of course, they don't accept that the reason the team was wiped out and besieged by the swarm was the 'hidden danger' left behind after their confrontation experiment with an S-level strange entity elsewhere."

Lin Xian nodded upon hearing this: "But that is the fact. All the strange entities from the Yaze Lake to the Trakama Ice Valley area were attracted there, including two giant abyss worms. If it wasn't for the mark placed by an S-level strange entity, it's hard to find any other reason to explain it."

Chen Sixuan frowned slightly: "So you came to find us overnight, is it because you hope we can provide the answer?"

"Actually, the 'Bonfire' theory is indeed one of the more counter-intuitive points among all mainstream conjectures, but it just so happens that the data you provided this time has very accurate observation data. Our entire team, including the teacher, was very surprised, because although his 'Bonfire' theory can match the results of many experimental control groups, the process cannot be observed, because we don't know what that 'Bonfire' is. So although the teacher's theory has more and more supporters, it is not mainstream, and is even called divination or result-oriented by many people. After all, the death rate of survivor fleets is already high, and the survival rate of survivors who have experienced S-level monsters and monster tides is even lower, so some people also say his theory is eating human blood buns..."

"The teacher already had an observation sequence in this regard before, but it was completely inaccurate and lacked a reference system, so the energy form of this mark has never been accurately detected..."

Wei Kexue sighed long and hard and said to Lin Xian: "So as soon as we got this research data, we were all shocked, curious about how the observation data you provided could accurately predict the change curve of this mark energy. To figure it out, everyone argued and argued and came to find you. After all, this research data was provided by you."

"The reference system on the research data they provided is definitely not as simple as an assumption!!"

Over there, Guo Sicheng, who was arguing with Yu Yuheng's group, hurried toward Lin Xian at this time, taking out a mobile terminal, which seemed to be the research data provided by Ding Junyi: "This Captain Lin, I want to ask, in this observation data of yours, it seems to lack an important control group. We studied it all night and found that the data all used a specific descriptive term. Although it looks like an assumption, this assumption can accurately predict the appearance of strange entities. You even successfully judged the safe area three times in a row. This is what we want to know."

"Yes, yes, yes." Another person from the research group also leaned over: "So we concluded, could it be that you have a very special ability user who possesses this observation ability, so..."

"Of course they have a very special ability user."

Yu Yuheng also walked up at this time and said: "I already told you before, this time we were able to evacuate from the Trakama Ice Valley, Lin Dui helped a lot. He and the ability users in his fleet are very powerful, and Lin Dui alone can disperse thousands of snow demons. For dark creatures, this possesses a huge threat. Our Emperor Project group are all non-ability users, yet we were surrounded and attacked by monsters on a large scale, and even the threats from other survivor fleets in the area were attracted. So this hunter thinking and pack hunting effect don't hold water at all. Dark creatures possess high-level thinking!"

"This also proves what I said before, that dark creatures can judge the threat of a target, which is why our Emperor Project group would still be surrounded and attacked by monster tides even after a large-scale transfer!"

"Then what about the cross-regional threats? Those ordinary survivors are running away every moment!"

"Running away represents fear, and the more fearful they are, the more they will be targeted by hunters. Professor Guo, you should understand this principle better than me!"

"You!..."

"Being marked by dark creatures and dark creatures possessing high-level thinking do not conflict." At this time, a cold voice suddenly interrupted the dispute between the two groups.

Everyone followed the sound and found that at some point, a woman had walked off the Infinite in the back and then came to Lin Xian's side.

Ding Junyi.

Lin Xian turned off the communicator at this time. When he learned the purpose of the other party's arrival, Lin Xian had already turned on the communicator with Ding Junyi in advance. Lin Xian felt that it was better to leave this kind of situation to professional people to deal with.

"Who are you?"

Professor Guo and Yu Yuheng asked at the same time.

Ding Junyi walked up and responded indifferently: "Ding Junyi, former chief scientist of the Federation's No. 9 Underground City Biological Laboratory, currently a biological researcher on the Infinite. This research data was provided by me."

"Ah, so you provided it!" "No wonder it's so professional."

Everyone gathered around upon hearing this.

Yu Yuheng took the lead and introduced himself: "Hello, Yu Yuheng. I want to ask this Professor Ding, does your research report's judgment on strange entity attacks originate from the special ability of a certain ability user on the train, or is it your monitoring of the soul-swaying value peaks of the entire train? Because of the missing information in this research data, we cannot restore the experimental results, which has an important impact on our result judgment. I think as a researcher, you should understand."

"This research data has clearly marked that the soul-swaying value is only used as auxiliary monitoring data. The judgment of peaks and valleys is after the strange entity attack, not a predictive judgment of whether they will appear as strange entities. Young man, be rigorous in examining the questions!!" Professor Guo said with a red face and an urgent expression.

Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian upon hearing this. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have anticipated this result long ago.

An accurate research report, yet the most important reference system in it was non-existent. If this data hadn't been submitted by the Infinite through the Phoenix Society courier, plus the very detailed annotations and detailed derivation process Ding Junyi made inside, it would definitely have been thrown away as a joke. It was precisely because of Wei Kexue's intervention that Guo Sicheng knew about the deeds of the Infinite team, so Professor Guo truly took it seriously and wanted to seek a result, not an 'assumption'.

Lin Xian saw Ding Junyi's eyes and knew what she meant, then sighed slightly in his heart. At this time, Wei Kexue, Professor Guo, and Yu Yuheng had visited late at night with a large research team. He knew he couldn't hide it, so he nodded to Ding Junyi.

Ding Junyi received Lin Xian's affirmation and then said to everyone.

"It's not a special ability user, nor is it caused by a group threat, but a Blood Calamity Plant. We discovered during the escape process that this calamity plant possesses the ability to sense this 'mark', so we began in-depth research. Of course, we used ourselves as experimental carriers. Facts have also proven that this mark is indeed the main factor triggering dark creature attacks. When we eliminated this mark, we entered a kind of 'silent' state in the darkness."

"So I infer that darkness, for dark creatures, is a survival area and environment. Unless we are within a certain distance and range, dark creatures cannot perceive the existence of humans. This mark is a special form of hunting."

"Currently, I have also discovered that this mark possesses the characteristic of being stackable and can be covered by high-level creatures and used for 'individual hunting'. That is, the mark can be cleared by resolving the highest-level dark creature in the area, or... absorbed."

!

Ding Junyi spread her hands: "To put it in a more vivid explanation, it's like a ring. Dark creatures can eat humans, but humans can also eat the other party. This power is fair to all creatures, which also explains why we humans can achieve evolution."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions changed!

"Blood Calamity Plant?!!"

Guo Sicheng asked in surprise upon hearing this: "What... what is its nature?"

As soon as this was said, the people in the research team exploded.

Wei Kexue looked at Lin Xian and asked in surprise: "Lin Dui, it wouldn't be that thing that the Federation's Taylor was giving you trouble about, would it?"

Lin Xian nodded: "Yes, we found it in the No. 9 Underground City."

"Sure enough..."

"Very reasonable, it's the special power resonance of the calamity plant."

"Just don't know what family, what nature..."

"Too good, there really is this reference system, then it shows that Guo Lao's 'Bonfire' theory is indeed the correct direction!"

"As long as we can locate the form of this energy existence, perhaps we can decipher the communication mode of dark creatures, and even peek into the secrets in the darkness!!"

"Yes, yes!"

"This will be able to save hundreds of millions of survivors and change the survival mode!!"

The people in the research team exploded one after another. Lin Xian hadn't expected these people's reactions to be so great.

Looking at Yu Yuheng's side, they were also full of disbelief.

Yu Yuheng walked up and asked Ding Junyi in a deep voice: "Has an exact energy form been observed?"

Ding Junyi looked at him, then took out the mobile terminal and handed it to him: "I used an axion wave detector and was able to detect a reaction of some large-mass particles similar to cold dark fundamental particles, so I can be sure it exists, but the problem is, with current technical means, it cannot be captured."

Yu Yuheng snatched the mobile terminal, and the researchers behind him also gathered around. But before long, the expressions of these people became increasingly heavy. Yu Yuheng frowned deeply as he flipped through the content. At this time, the words he wanted to refute seemed to have been completely suppressed by the argument Ding Junyi gave.

If we follow the theory provided by Ding Junyi, then the crisis triggered by their Emperor Project did not originate from the deterrent power of the Type-01 mecha, but from some kind of 'mark' placed on them after Chen Wei and Chen Lie manipulated the Type-01 mecha to make close contact with an S-level strange entity.

This also triggered the frequent large-scale strange entity attacks they encountered during the transfer process, which was the ultimate reason for the near-total annihilation of the navigation transport group and the armed company!!

Thinking of this, Yu Yuheng's face turned pale, and he kept muttering in his mouth: "Impossible... impossible... then why didn't those monsters dare to approach the defensive line."

"Very simple, they were just adapting to the light." Lin Xian said indifferently: "Didn't you notice that the frequency of monster tide attacks is the same as the frequency of snowstorms?"

Yu Yuheng opened his mouth upon hearing this, his eyes full of disbelief.

At this time, Professor Guo walked over. When Yu Yuheng saw the other party, his expression struggled unpleasantly, then he handed over the mobile terminal, still refusing to admit defeat in his mouth.

"Unless this energy particle is successfully detected, it still cannot be fully concluded. The research on the Blood Calamity Plant is also very unclear at present. Although the process of this research data is very rigorous, I can only say that this direction has a certain basis..."

"If multiple experimental controls can match the results, then other impossibilities must be excluded. Young man, we cannot think about these dark existences with the logic of Earth creatures. What hunters, what threats, their behavior is completely just a mechanical behavior, and the drive inside this must have a logic that we cannot understand. And this Captain Lin and Professor Ding's experiment is enough to prove that this conjecture is worthy of in-depth experimental verification!"

Professor Guo took the mobile terminal, explaining to Yu Yuheng excitedly while looking at it carefully. The more he looked, the more excited his expression became, and he immediately said to Ding Junyi.

"This... where is this Blood Calamity Plant, can you give it to us for experiments now!!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xian's expression changed slightly.

The Hell Black Chrysanthemum was now an important treasure of the Infinite. Besides being able to warn of dark marks, it could also absorb black mist to convert energy, help everyone on the train evolve, and even convert into mechanical source points after combining with the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, allowing Lin Xian's mechanical ability to also be improved.

Lin Xian couldn't bear to take out something comparable to a cornucopia.

Seeing that Lin Xian and the others were all silent and didn't respond, Professor Guo immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Xian inexplicably.

"Why... is it not possible?"

"Sorry, this thing is very important to us." Lin Xian refused directly.

Ding Junyi had once told him that cold dark fundamental particles had now been discovered. As long as the Phoenix Society people followed her experimental method to capture the energy form, even without the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, they would be able to find the answer very quickly, so he didn't necessarily have to hand over this thing.

But the premise was that the other party believed and was willing to conduct large-scale experiments with this unknown 'reference system'.

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Professor Guo immediately became anxious: "What time is it now? Survivors everywhere lack effective reconnaissance and counter-measures, and are dying on a large scale every day. If we have this reference system, we can greatly shorten the experimental process and develop equipment that can detect this mark. One day earlier, one hour earlier, how many people's lives could be saved!!"

"Yes, if we can discover the existence of this mark, it will be subversive to the survival philosophy of all survivors!" Another old researcher also said urgently.

"Just the subject of dark creature attack logic identification alone, thousands of researchers in hundreds of research groups around the world of the Phoenix Society have already spent a lot of energy and money. This matter cannot be delayed."

Seeing that Lin Xian was very troubled, Professor Guo was so anxious that his lips were trembling, and he hurriedly said: "I know this thing is very important to you, but I guarantee with my personality as Guo Sicheng that we are just borrowing it for research and will not have any other purpose. As long as we get the results, we will definitely return it to you intact. Okay, okay, I, I, I will find Supervisor Zhao to apply for subsidies for you, apply for a lot, a lot of subsidies, okay?"

Seeing that Professor Guo was getting more and more excited, Wei Kexue hurriedly pulled him: "Teacher, don't be anxious, let me talk to Lin Dui."

Then he walked up and said to Lin Xian in a low voice with an apologetic tone: "Lin Dui, don't mind it. My teacher speaks a bit urgently. He has spent his whole life in the laboratory and doesn't know how to deal with people. If it's inconvenient for you, I can understand. Or if you have any needs, I and the teacher will help you talk to the superior supervisor. It's mainly because this matter is indeed very critical to us right now. Look..."

Lin Xian sighed slightly upon hearing this and said to Ding Junyi: "Director Ding, what do you think?"

Ding Junyi said to Lin Xian: "I said before that having an observation reference has essentially already found the answer, but we lack equipment on the train to observe particle-level substances, so we cannot effectively sequence the energy sequence of the black chrysanthemum's changes. So if they have such equipment, theoretically, they can find the answer in a short time."

"How long?"

Ding Junyi took a breath: "I can't give a specific time. Science requires constant repetition of experiments and is also related to many interference factors. In this matter, it includes time, night, strange entities, etc., so this involves the scale of the experimental group, repeatable experimental subjects, etc."

"Simply put, if the scale is large enough and the experimental base is large enough, with a reference system, finding this energy might... one week to one month?"

Lin Xian's expression sank upon hearing this, and he fell into hesitation.

"Of course, if you're lucky, it will come out in one experiment." Ding Junyi shrugged: "Science is like this, in the randomness and uncertainty of experimental results, especially in the materials department, that is even more exaggerated, it is completely a random combination of molecular materials. In normal people's words, it's just luck..."

"We only have two days here." Lin Xian said.

"Two days is enough!" Hearing Lin Xian's words, Guo Sicheng suddenly said: "Just now this Professor Ding was right, having an observation reference has essentially already found the answer. You just need to lend it to us for two days, and I will..."

"Professor, it won't work." At this time, the people in the research group said with ugly expressions: "I just read the data provided by this Professor Ding. There are at least a thousand types of large-mass particles with the same characteristics. Even for control experiments, at least hundreds of times are needed..."

"Yes, unless you're lucky, two days is not enough."

"Enough!" Guo Sicheng said urgently at this time: "I will find Zhao Yu now and ask him to send someone to Quancheng to borrow an ultra-pure germanium detector. We can directly use captured strange entities for frontal testing of these large-mass particles. Two days should be enough."

It could be seen that this old professor had thought of all the ways he could think of to solve this problem as soon as possible.

"No." Wei Kexue shook his head upon hearing this: "There is not enough time to rush to Quancheng now, and it must be escorted by people from the Investigation Corps, and the signal cannot be transmitted."

As soon as this was said, the research team side suddenly became quiet.

Even if they could go without eating for two days and two nights, they couldn't guarantee that they could get results in two days, which immediately made this group of scientists feel troubled.

"We have an ultra-pure germanium detector."

At this time, a voice broke the quiet scene. Everyone looked over and found that it was Yu Yuheng, who had been silent just now, suddenly speaking.

Yu Yuheng took a long breath and said solemnly: "The Emperor Project has a special ultra-pure germanium detector used for energy particle detection after close contact with S-level strange entities. If Professor Guo needs it, we can provide it."

As soon as the words fell, the researchers behind him exclaimed in astonishment.

"Team Leader Yu, this detector is what we are currently using to..."

"Support them first!" Yu Yuheng said firmly, speaking resolutely at this time.

"Current data judgment shows that their theoretical direction is correct. Once successful, it can save many people. The priority is above ours."

"But..."

"Have you forgotten the highest program of the Phoenix Society? I will be responsible for any problems!" Yu Yuheng suddenly shouted loudly. As soon as this was said, the whole audience became quiet.

After speaking, Yu Yuheng looked at Lin Xian: "Lin Dui, if you are worried about the experimental progress, our team can cooperate with Guo Lao's research group to speed up the experimental progress together and provide you with a guarantee."

As soon as this was said, the personnel of Professor Guo's research team looked eager, and everyone felt a great confidence, and they were all excited.

"Really?"

"Too good!!"

"Then the progress can be accelerated."

"Need, definitely need!" Professor Guo was very excited at this time, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

"These old men were arguing until their faces were red just now." Lin Xian looked at this strange scene and couldn't help but mutter.

Ding Junyi beside him heard his words and said with an indifferent expression.

"Science is the pursuit of truth. Any prejudice is not important in front of this."

Ding Junyi's words shocked Lin Xian's heart, and then he sighed: "My pattern is small. Since this is the case, let's lend it to them."

"For the sake of saving humanity?" Ding Junyi asked.

Lin Xian's gaze swept over this group of researchers over fifty years old in the research group and Professor Guo, who was so excited that he couldn't express it, and said indifferently.

"I don't have that kind of great righteousness, just take it as giving face to these old men who are working hard."

Ding Junyi's gaze flowed on his face, and she smiled lightly: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Lin Xian sighed: "Actually, I'm still worried."

"I know." Ding Junyi said at this time: "I can join the team to participate in the research these two days. I can't guarantee whether it can speed up the experimental progress, but I will protect the Hell Black Chrysanthemum for you."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, thinking that this was a good way.

"And the Phoenix Society is currently doing green plant cultivation, perhaps I can also get some things you need back from it." Ding Junyi glanced at Lin Xian. As she understood Lin Xian deeper and deeper, she could gradually synchronize with Lin Xian's thoughts and knew the points he cared about.

After speaking, Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian with a bit of subtlety, as if she wanted to get Lin Xian's affirmation.

"Director Ding." Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi with surprise in his eyes, stunned for a moment before looking at her: "You are really getting better and better."

"Good?"

What kind of adjective is good.

Lin Xian actually couldn't describe it. She was already smart enough, and a smart woman's actions everywhere fell into his heart, which made him feel incomparably comfortable.

Lin Xian gave a sheepish laugh: "In short, it's good."

Ding Junyi looked at him puzzledly, then smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth. She could feel the recognition Lin Xian had for her, and couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in her heart like a flower blooming.
