Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 228: Blood of Nidhogg
“Although the conditions are crude and there is no centrifuge, we have to give it a try.”

Qin Huai rolled up his sleeves and held the test tube with both hands. The bright red blood inside began to rotate at high speed under the influence of Canglan's power.

After a long period of trial and error, Qin Huai finally used differential centrifugation to roughly separate the plasma and cell sediment and placed them in two clean test tubes.

The next step was to follow the same procedure with Xiao Gui, Rundstedt and his blood. Half an hour later, Qin Huai obtained four tubes of plasma and four tubes of cell sediments.

"The question is, which part does the demon blood purified by the Hermes priests correspond to?"

Qin Huai looked at the four tubes of plasma with different appearances in front of him and felt a little puzzled for a moment.

Different from the light yellow plasma of normal humans, the plasma of the two qualified individuals and Kuilong Horse is a light golden color, and from time to time it can refract brilliant colorful light with the light emitted by the fiery red plasma.

Qin Huai's own plasma also showed a light blue-gold color, but it should be the influence of inheritance rather than the manifestation of the [Tianrui] state.

"Forget it, let's just use the exhaustive method. There are only a few dozen permutations and combinations, let's try them one by one."

After thinking about it, Qin Huai took a test tube filled with liquid Tianrui from the side, poured it on the crystal bottom dish to form several liquid surfaces, then took some from different plasma and cell sediments, and began a long fusion experiment.

bang~
Accompanied by a loud explosion and a faint smell of burning, the dusty Qin Huai patted the crumbs and flesh from his palm and touched his chin.

"It shouldn't be like this. How could it explode so easily?"

Although Tianrui has the characteristics of high temperature, high heat, flammability and explosion, Qinhuai used room temperature experimental materials and the operation was also quite standardized and careful. It should not have failed so many times in a row.

"Zero, analyze the reasons for the failure and provide optimization suggestions."

"Analyzing"

"Master Walking, perhaps plasma, cells, and Tianrui are not all necessary. You can try to use Tianrui as the base, cells as the core, and borrow the power of the moon to fuse them together."

"Moonlight? Could it be that the moon on this fruit has something special about it?"

"Zero does not have sufficient authority to answer this question, Master Walker."

"Insufficient permissions."

Qin Huai's eyes flashed, and he moved the table into the spacious courtyard.

After the auspicious blood, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Qin Huai conducted the experiment again according to the method provided by Zero. Everything went smoothly in the early stage, but when he heard the familiar sound of bubbles bursting, he knew that things were going to be bad.

"Still not working?"

Just as the red liquid mixture was about to explode again, the bright moonlight spreading across the courtyard suddenly lit up. Although it was only for a brief moment, it suppressed the explosion that was about to happen, allowing the liquid Tianrui to successfully devour the cell essence of the qualified person and stabilize.

"This is."

Qin Huai looked at the test tube in his hand. Flowing inside it was a gorgeous liquid like red crystal, with light white bubbles constantly rising upwards. Every ray of light reflected by the liquid was full of temptation, and one could almost feel its mellowness and deliciousness with just their sight.

Qin Huai held the test tube high up, and the bright moonlight above his head shone through the test tube, casting beautiful bright red light and shadows on the ground.

A startling glance.

[Blood of Nidhogg (low concentration)]

Category: Foreign matter

The special substance that escaped from the core of Ghost Ding Hai Ninety-Four, after continuous sedimentation and influence, finally changed the ecology of the entire Ghost Ding Hai Ninety-Four fruit!
characteristic:
[Immortality]: Cannot be destroyed or decomposed, can only be transferred and transformed like energy.

[Conservation]: The mass of [Blood of Nidhogg] in the Great Thousand Worlds is conserved. Even if it is used by the ghost Dinghai Ninety-four brought out by the Worlds Walking, it will dissipate on its own after the unit density drops to the critical limit and return to the ghost Dinghai Ninety-four.

[Duality]: It has the properties of both organic and inorganic substances, but can only be observed to exhibit one property at the same time.

[Blood Marking]: When it manifests as organic properties, it will induce most of the creatures in the world to mutate and grow, and grant them various powerful abilities. This process is irreversible.

[Holy Mercury of Heaven]: When it manifests itself as an inorganic substance, it can corrode and alienate most of the substances in the world and give them all kinds of new properties. This process is irreversible.

Note: [Blood of Nidhogg] cannot determine anything, but it can influence most things and turn them into what it wants.

"Nidhoggr? The black dragon that devoured the world tree in Norse mythology?"

Qin Huai gently shook the test tube, and the halo hit his face, like the mottled red light cut through leaf veins.

"It's lighter than arterial blood, but more transparent and brighter, and has a vitality that Tianrui doesn't have. It's almost like..."

"A liquid version of the Philosopher's Stone."

Zero added at the right time, helping Qin Huai further confirm his guess.

Qin Huai held the test tube in his hand, pondered for a while, and then asked Zero softly: "Can you accurately measure the concentration of this tube of dragon blood?"

After a brief calculation, Zero's voice rang in Qin Huai's ears: "Due to the influence of Tianrui's purity and cell sediment impurities, the concentration of [Nidhoggr's Blood] in this tube of liquid is about 7%."

"Only 7%. Can you provide relevant purification methods?"

"I'm sorry, there is too little valid information for reference. Please explore on your own, Master Walker."

Hearing Zero's unsurprising answer, Qin Huai shrugged, put the cork on the test tube, and put it into his personal space.

"One person's wisdom is short, but two people's wisdom is long. Let's go to Shendu tomorrow and study it with Tianruisi's group."
-
Qinrenfang, Prince Dongping's Palace.

The emerald green pine and holly trees were covered with silver snow. The Yeluohe soldiers were mighty and majestic, patrolling back and forth along a dozen corridors and ceremonial gates that were crisscrossed like a maze.

As soon as the snow stopped, the white clothes on the eaves turned into steam and rose up. The high heat melted the white clothes and dripped them onto the steps. The next moment, the maid who was waiting outside the door leaned over and wiped them away.

In the warm Chenxiang House, Li Linfu and An Lushan sat opposite each other, and on the table between them was the book "Records of the Western Regions" handed down by Qin Huai.

"finish watching?"

When Li Linfu saw An Lushan finish turning the last page and return the Records of the Western Regions, he immediately asked.

"I've finished reading it, and it's pretty much the same as what I saw and heard in Zhaowu when I was young."

An Lushan nodded and affirmed the customs and practices recorded in this record.

"The Qin family boy avoided the important issues and didn't report any of the critical Xiyi armaments and Tianrui machinery. Do you have any good ideas?"

"The Western Barbarians will send a ceasefire letter soon. If Shilang is interested, you may as well contact the envoy and get what you want." After listening to An Lushan's suggestion, Li Linfu was silent for a long time before nodding slightly: "This plan will work, but we still need to make some arrangements."

An Lushan glanced at the four fair-skinned slaves behind Li Linfu, and with his right hand he moved the long brass lever hidden on the side of the cushion.

Click~click~
The subtle sound of gears could be heard, and the entire Chenxiang House was undergoing a drastic change.

The walls with calligraphy and paintings on them moved away along the slide rails, and a huge black portal appeared in front of the two. From the deep darkness came the muffled sound of metal colliding, occasionally accompanied by a few rather shrill roars of wild beasts.

"The money allocated by the Right Prime Minister's Office to Yeluohe is enough to buy half of the East Market, but after so long, these useless people under you still haven't produced anything useful."

Li Linfu's cold eyes swept over An Lushan, his expression somewhat displeased.

"The craftsmen are only short of the most difficult part, the power furnace, which they have yet to replicate. If Juro can get the key from Xiyi this time, the talisman armor of Yeluohe will be no less powerful than that of Tianruisi."

Li Linfu supported Jiao Nu and walked down the stairs step by step, his steps were slow and stumbling.

"Hurry up. If you are slow, Xiping will not let you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, his boots stepped over the last step and landed on the rough stone tunnel.

The huge An Lushan led the way, taking Li Linfu and the four slaves through several forks in the road, and then they stopped.

At the end of the tunnel is a huge rock door without any patterns and has only been simply trimmed and polished.

This door is the biggest secret of the Prince of Dongping's Mansion. All the craftsmen who carved it disappeared secretly without a trace, and the people who usually deliver the goods are the elite soldiers of Yeluohe who would never betray An Lushan.

An Lushan's muscles contracted slightly, and he just raised his hand and pushed. The stone door weighing tons was easily pushed open, revealing a narrow path wide enough for a person to pass through.

As An Lushan turned the brass button behind the door, mining lamps gradually lit up in the darkness, filling everyone's vision.

Behind the stone door was not a room, but a bottomless canyon that extended downward for an unknown number of miles.

There are several huge rivets on the edge of the canyon, and the hideous and twisted metal brackets are firmly embedded in the green rock, like ugly scars.

Li Linfu looked at the canyon covered by thick steam, and dots of fire were reflected in his turbid pupils.

As An Lushan pressed a brass button on the stone wall, the motor began to rumble, and the huge lifting platform slowly rose up and appeared in front of everyone.
"Juro, let's go."

An Lushan took the first step onto the steel cage ladder, and the tall and strong mountain of flesh shook twice with the metal support.

Li Linfu squeezed in with four slaves with an expressionless face, and the elevator began to slowly descend.

The wind whistled past, and the entire canyon shrouded in steam and white mist gradually emerged. If Geshu Jing were here at this time, he would realize that at least half of what Ji Wen said was true.

An Lushan did not pay the land tax in full, and Li Linfu did order the six ministries to withhold a considerable amount of money. These supplies, food and huge amounts of money that were supposed to be delivered to the Western Expedition Army were sent to this underground Chang'an, known as the ghost market, to engage in a secret arms race with the Shendu Tianrui Division!

This was also the first time that Li Linfu came here tonight. If he had not been threatened too much by Qin Huai before, he would never have put his precious life in such a dangerous place.

Looking around, there are broken walls, flat ridges with brackets and ancient streets and shops from the previous dynasty are full of exposed metal pipes, and thick white steam is rising from the rough boiler nozzles into the sky.

Under the dim light, an old-fashioned chariot slowly drove over. An Lushan didn't mind the ugliness and sat down on the trailer behind the boiler.

Li Linfu glanced at An Lushan, walked silently to the leather chair behind the driver, and sat down holding the handle.

The chariot started slowly, passing by countless blacksmith shops. Craftsmen who never saw the sun were using blast furnace hammers to forge various parts for the rune armor.

After driving for about a cup of tea, the driver led everyone to a copper-cast and iron-cast palace, carved with knives and axes, rough and primitive, with no sight of the surrounding area. In the middle stood a tall chimney, which stretched straight out of the canyon and discharged toxic waste gas into the ground.

An Lushan jumped off the trailer, creating a wave of flesh.

"Is this the place where Yeluohe studies strange people and strange beasts?"

Li Linfu smelled the faint smell of blood in the hot air and couldn't help but frowned.

"That's right. Although it's not as perfect and thorough as Tianruisi, it's pretty good."

An Lushan stroked the Zoroastrian runes on the outer wall and pressed them a few times. Then the iron door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and bursts of roars were heard.

As soon as they entered the palace, two gray-haired priests came to greet them and performed the holy fire ceremony to An Lushan: "Ming Wang, you are here."

"Introduce the animal pen to the Right Prime Minister."

An Lushan also performed a sacred fire ceremony and signaled the sacrificial official Zoroastrianism to take Li Linfu for a walk.

Da~da~da~
Li Linfu walked slowly. In front of him was a steel fence that imprisoned hundreds of rare and magical beasts. Behind him were animal bones and scattered parts that had been carefully disassembled by Zoroastrian shamans.

Snakes, lizards, elephants, giant tigers.
Looking at these exotic beasts that were dragged into the river and collected from all over the world at the cost of huge manpower and resources, even though Li Linfu was knowledgeable, he could not help but be frightened by the vivid and ferocious appearance of their bodies.
At the end of the animal pen, there are two extremely large iron cages. The fences are made of a mixture of hard gold, secret silver and fine steel. Inside each cage is a giant dark gold snake that is at least seven meters long, and a huge bear with two ferocious beast heads.

"evildoer."

This is not over yet. The priest Zoroastrian pressed a button. With the crackling sound of electric arcs, the lights came on, the darkness disappeared, and large translucent glass vats appeared in the spacious space.

In the pale yellow liquid, there were lifelike naked human bodies, with flame-like patterns painted all over their bodies. There were men and women, young and old, all with their arms outstretched in a big letter shape, as if they were all sleeping.

"Is this the alien that Yeluohe bred by imitating the Kuilong horse?"

Listening to Li Linfu's question, the priest nodded with a hoarse voice.

"If a living creature consumes Tianrui, it will die from abdominal burns. But if Tianrui is diluted and injected into the blood, it will become like a mad cow or a wild horse, with infinite strength and insane mind, and only the most primitive desire for destruction will be left among the seven emotions and six desires."

Zhu handed a notebook to Li Linfu and continued the conversation: "The parents and blood relatives of Kuilongma are pure exotic beasts born and raised naturally. They have Tianrui blood in their bodies when they are born, so they have a high adaptability and tolerance to Tianrui. Even so, the Buddhists and Taoists of Tianrui Division have to start with a small dose and increase the dose little by little. It will take several months for Kuilongma to fully adapt to Tianrui and become a precious embryo that can truly withstand injections of drugs during high-intensity battles."

"Are these aliens comparable to Tianqi and Hu Nu?"

Li Linfu pointed at the four maids serving beside him, and his expression finally looked much better.

"Not yet. Although his physical fitness is barely up to standard, his lifespan and mental state are too low. He can only be used as a temporary consumable."

The priest shook his head and walked back with Li Linfu.

The lights went out, and hundreds of large glass vats disappeared into darkness again.

And in a corner where no one was paying attention, the fingers of a naked boy twitched slightly.
