binary dead train

Chapter 167 Juice and Breeding Period
"Is this a fruit?"

Turing hung the phantom limb in front of his eyes, looked up and down, and brushed aside the fox that stood up and bit the phantom limb.

Layers of dense metal units appeared on the bulging spherical surface at the top of the phantom limb, and gradually faded towards the root of the phantom limb, like densely crawling ants.

Turing pulled out the technology tree, and the technology value consumed 28 points.

Although this is nothing compared to the total amount of technology value that Turing has now, compared with other technologies that have climbed in the real world, this number is a bit huge.

The line of sight returned to the phantom limb swollen into a sphere. Under Turing's gaze, the black mechanical unit on it slowly faded away like a tide, and a "fruit" glued by pitch-black metal hung down.

Turing reached out and took the fruit.

The surface of the whole fruit has a dense layering, with a spring-like appearance. When it falls into the hand, a red light is emitted from the inside, and it is slightly agitated with the movable layers.

Compared with something like "fruit", it looks like some kind of metal fat bug.

On the top of the fruit, there were still some dense clusters of phantom limbs. After Turing took them off completely, the red light gradually disappeared.

After holding it in his hand and shaking it slightly, Turing could hear the obvious sound of liquid collision inside.Through the cracks on the surface, he also saw one of the obvious large bubbles rising up.

The phantom limb that grew the fruit has returned to its original state of three-fingered steel claws. Under Turing's control, he lightly poked it on the experimental bench, planted a simple container inorganically, and put the fruit in it. The tips of several phantom limbs transformed into dense dissection tools, and after some fiddling, the top of the fruit was removed.

When he saw the liquid inside, Turing's pupils shrank:

"This is……"

A stream of translucent liquid was channeled into the phantom container, and glowed blue under the light in the basement.

The phantom limb reached out, opened the refrigerator in the basement, and Turing took out a large piece of frozen meat from it—this was originally the food intake of five flower branches.

After cutting off a small piece, Turing tossed the remaining part to the demon weapon who was circling around the fox, as if thinking about what to do with it. There was a crackling sound of frozen meat chewing behind him, and The strange cry of the fox intending to fight.

Ignoring the movement of the animals behind him, Turing threw the removed piece of frozen meat into the container.

Accompanied by a burst of rising air bubbles, the entire surface of the frozen meat erupted in a violent reaction, turning into a large pile of irregular and chaotic metal clusters at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Worse infiltration response."

"This is the decarburized stock solution."

Taking out the "frozen meat" that had been completely metallized inside, Turing packaged it in a small translucent box and placed it on a side display case.

After conducting a series of biological tissue contact and injection experiments on this "juice", Turing thoroughly confirmed that this thing is the decarburized stock solution.

"The fruit produced by the ivy's phantom limb directly gave birth to the decarburization stock solution... The purity is not low in terms of quality, which is really unexpected."

Hanging the phantom limb in front of his eyes, Turing became very curious about the monsters transformed into plants.

"The decarburized stock solution is essentially the purified body fluid of the demon god, that is, the liquid extracted from the blood of the demon weapon. Then it is not surprising that phantom limbs can produce fruits filled with the decarburized stock solution. Really need to trace the source , only the demon god can answer."

After comparing the appearance of these "juices" with the remaining high-concentration decarburization stock solution, Turing used phantom limbs to temporarily build some containers with metal materials, and stored the decarburization stock solution in them.

"From the information I learned from the central control terminal, the decarburized stock solution needs special containers for storage, and now it can only be used as a temporary means. I used glass bottles for individual packaging before, and it seemed inappropriate."

Afterwards, Turing conducted a test on the phantom limb's fruiting ability, and after bearing two more fruits, the phantom limb completely lost its vitality.

After climbing up, the extremely thick tentacles began to shrink and shrink, and the red light inside was completely extinguished, as if entering power-saving mode.

The state was relieved by recharging the phantom limb, but obviously not completely eliminated, and Turing's mind continued to convey a vague sense of weakness.

"I thought I found a convenient way that doesn't require the manufacture of extraction equipment, but it doesn't seem to work. But there are still many technical values, so let's climb up again."

Calling out the technology tree, Turing regenerated an icon on the top of the phantom limb and lit it up completely.

But this time, 46 technical points were consumed.

The phantom limb erupted into a strong disorder and pulsation. At the same time, Turing could feel a strong tingling sensation coming from the joint between the phantom limb and the body. This weird sense of touch made him fall to the ground. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the changes in the phantom limb.

When these weird feelings were completely over, Turing got up a little stiffly, feeling a subtle change in his body.

There is a slight bulging feeling in the back, and there is a trembling feeling with the beating of the pulse.

When Turing got up completely and looked at the mirror next to him, he found his empty back.

He turned around in astonishment, and the state behind him appeared in the mirror.

The phantom limb completely disappeared.

The back of the head and back are covered with a tight-fitting exoskeleton, on which the breathing light of the [Tektronix Signal Transmitter] flashes.The covering position of the entire phantom limb has hardly changed, but his entire spine seems to have been turned into pitch-black metal, and it is embedded in the center of the spine, and every gap is lit with breathing red light.

With the injection of his thoughts, a large number of mechanical proliferations visible to the naked eye exploded behind him, and a phantom limb with a more complicated structure than the previous state drilled out.

"It's thick again. My back can't hold it anymore, so it replaced my spine and completely collapsed the body into it?"

No, it's not right, it should be said that the symbiotic state of phantom limbs gradually deepens with each stage, and they are more closely integrated with themselves.

Thinking of this, Turing called out the technology tree.

[Phantom limb reproduction period - silicon ground state fission]

The end of this technological line is no longer a new level of [Mechanical Proliferation], but a new name: [Silicon Ground State Fission].

"Is it because the mechanical proliferation has been enhanced to a certain level, or does it have new abilities?"

One phantom limb after another was released from behind. From this state, the size and number of metal tentacles seemed to have been broken through, and there was no such thing as "subject phantom limb".The overall quality is naturally upgraded to another level, and the range that can be extended has already broken through the limit of 10 meters. Turing is now trying to walk a phantom limb drilled from behind along the corner of the house for a week.

Add another point to the fineness of proliferation, and now it can be as big as a real plant root.

However, the derived [Molecular Deciphering Line] and [Neural Connection Cluster] have not changed much.

"It can be 'collapsed' to the back, the basic quality can be strengthened, and the record of minimum proliferation has been refreshed. The claws have changed from three to four, and the internal [portable Tektronix factory] has been completely combined..."

These are changes, but Turing vaguely feels that there is something wrong with the phantom limbs that have evolved into the "breeding period", and this "breeding period" always makes him feel a little bad.

And at this moment, he heard a call from the depths of his brain.

The pensive Turing shuddered violently, which attracted the eyes of the satiated monsters.

Turing's eyes were wide open, and he could be sure what sound he "heard".

To be precise, it is not like hearing, but more like the transmission of some kind of pheromone, which makes me understand the meaning.

The phantom limbs extending from the back pointed their huge steel claws at Turing's face at some point, shrinking them like blinking eyelashes.
