Chapter 176: "Ore Disease Therapy" and "Energy Stone"
[Okay, although the daily life full of jokes is relaxing and enjoyable, people have to return to business after all. After Vill-V joined the "Fire Moth", the weapons of the "Fire Moth" warriors have made great progress.]
[Under Vill-V's ingenious ideas and various strange designs, the warriors' equipment is updated at a very fast speed, making it easier for the warriors to fight against Honkai on the front line. Well... although it is only a little easier.]
[And you and Mobius are working together to study how to further develop the power of your "song".]
[As time passed, the "Third Great Eruption" broke out. This was the first time that you and Vill-V witnessed a natural disaster called the "Great Eruption", and it was also the first time that you realized how amazing the destructive power of the existence called the "Herrscher" was.]
[After a brief silence, Vill-V, who knew the final casualties of this disaster, became more determined. At the same time, her design began to become more radical... She knew that Honkai must be eliminated.]
[Considering that most of Vill-V's designs are useful to "Fire Moth", "Fire Moth" gave her a large amount of funding, hoping that she could quickly iterate the warriors' equipment so that they could better fight against the increasingly serious Honkai Impact... For this reason, "Fire Moth" even spent a huge amount of money to let Vill-V build her own special workshop - "Spiral Workshop".]
[As a price, "Fire Moth" asked Vill-V to design a prison to deal with those... well, "failed" experiments.]
[Thus, "The Deepest Place" came into being.]
[Neither you nor Vill-V cares much about this... You want to know more about how to expand the use of your "song" so that it can do more than just suppress Honkai energy, while Vill-V is fully committed to developing various equipment to deal with the "Fire Moth".]
[Yes, deal with it.]
[Although "Fire Moth" treated Vill-V very well, the various design requirements put forward by "Fire Moth" made Vill-V quite unhappy... Although she was not unable to do it, it was mainly annoying, and it would also limited her design inspiration, making her feel constrained in many designs. Therefore, most of the time she was slowly procrastinating, using the least amount of funds to make designs that met the minimum requirements... and then using the remaining funds to research the things she wanted to research.]
[In addition, Vill-V has focused most of her energy on the things you and Mobius are dealing with, because she knows that the problem of Honkai erosion is the most serious. If this problem is not solved, human manpower will only be continuously consumed, which will greatly hinder the pace of human resistance to Honkai. Therefore, they must find a way to solve this problem.]
[More importantly... Vill-V wants to help you.]
[You expressed your understanding, and Mobius also let her join in after a few jokes, and you two worked together to advance the research progress.]
[At the same time, because of the outbreak of the "Third Great Eruption", you have obtained a large number of people who have been affected by the Honkai... In other words, the number of observation samples, or test samples... has increased.]
[Although it's hard to hear, this is the truth... and what's worse is that you saw the names of Yin's parents among these people, and you also saw them in your hospital, and you also saw Yin who came to visit them.]
[When you met, you talked a lot with Yin, and you also learned a lot of information from her.]
[The good news is that Yin and her parents, as well as Sakura you are familiar with, are all still alive.]
[The bad news is... except for this small group of people, her "family" has completely disappeared.]
[At the end of the conversation, she also thanked you and Vill-V, because it was the bracelet that Vill-V left for them that allowed her parents to survive at the last moment... Although they are now on the verge of death, at least... they haven't died directly, right?]
[You look at Yin's exhausted appearance, at the purple lines on her parents' bodies, and fall into silence...]
[You will find a way... definitely.]
[These lives... can all be saved... You firmly believe this.]
[…Of course, the "Third Great Eruption" did not only bring bad news… After this disaster, a scholar favored by Mobius, Mei, also joined the "Fire Moth", along with a strangely strong boy, Kevin.]
[you won't talk about Mei. As a scholar that even Mobius is optimistic about, she has unique insights in many aspects. At the same time, after learning about Honkai, her research, and understanding of Honkai have almost grown by leaps and bounds. She surpassed others in almost the blink of an eye and is second only to Mobius.]
[Kevin, who came with Mei, was even more outrageous... As a high school student, his physique and combat power were terrifying. He even broke the record left by Elysia and achieved the achievement of completing the recruit training and joining the team the fastest.]
[Someone even joked that maybe Kevin could even compete with you and Elysia, and then form the strongest trio of "Fire Moth" warriors.]
[But there is one thing that still surprises you... Mei and Kevin seem to be fans of your smurf account, and they both follow your secondary account.]
[When Kevin learned the news, he came over and asked for three autographs... one for himself, one for Mei, and one for his friend.]
[…sigh…what the hell, why do you feel like you can always run into people following your smurf wherever you go? And even in Mobius's lab, Mobius' other two assistants, Danzhu and Cangxuan, are following you, and according to what Danzhu secretly told you, it seems that Mobius is also following your smurf…and she's one of your early fans.]
[You really didn't notice this... But you don't care about it. You just sigh that this world is really too small. You can meet people who follow your Smurf account wherever you go.]
[Oh, by the way, in the rumored incident, the guy who serialized the novel "The Tragic Shura Field" in "Fire Chaser" was Danzhu. This petite girl was also "taught a lesson" by you, but she is the same as Vill-V. She knows she was wrong, but she will dare to do it again next time.]
[And your research has advanced rapidly with the addition of Mei and a large number of observable samples. And after Vill-V developed a nano-scale metal material, you found a way to solve the Honkai erosion.]
[Through your "song" and the special energy frequency discovered by Mei through your "song", the erosion of Honkai energy is suppressed and gradually stabilized in the human body. Then, through the injection of biological reagents developed by Mobius, the special nanometals studied by Vill-V are injected into the body together.]
[The biological reagent developed by Mobius will prevent the human body from rejecting the "nanometal" as a foreign object in a short period of time and stabilize the human vital signs. The nanometal will absorb the Honkai energy in the human body on the surface, and then use the Honkai energy itself to attract each other and gradually gather to form a Honkai energy group. Slowly pull the nanometal to form a special energy metal block, or "crystal", and through the guidance of external equipment, condense the crystal at a specific location... preferably on the surface of the body.]
[Finally, surgery is performed to remove the crystals. This way, even if the Honkai energy that is rampant in the body is eliminated, it can be considered an alternative way to "cure" the Honkai disease.]
[This method requires that the entire treatment process must be under the protection of your "song" and special energy frequency, otherwise, the Honkai energy will become unstable, causing the nanometal to pull too fast, and finally causing the nanometal to form fragments too quickly, and scratch the internal organs, causing direct death.]
[Also, biological reagents must be injected for a long time during the placement process, otherwise, once the body rejects the nanometal, it is likely to cause serious consequences.]
[At the same time, the amount of injected nanometal must be sufficient, otherwise it will not be possible to completely remove the Honkai energy in a person's body... However, this can be compensated by replenishing the amount of nanometal later, so it is not a big problem.]
[In addition, because nanometals exceeding Honkai energy must be injected, a certain amount of nanometals will remain in the human body after the crystals are removed through surgery. People may have a certain rejection reaction, but as long as the amount is controlled to a trace level, it will not cause too much impact, and it can also be used to observe whether a person is eroded by Honkai... After all, once Honkai energy enters the human body, the nanometals remaining in the body will react.]
[Finally, you and Mobius performed the surgery together and successfully removed the crystals of several people, both on the surface and inside the body. In the subsequent observation, they showed no obvious discomfort... It can be said that as long as they are not suddenly exposed to a super-high concentration of Honkai area, nothing serious will happen. Even if they are active in a high concentration of Honkai area, you have a way to rescue them.]
[This makes you feel somewhat relieved.]
[After a period of observation and experimentation, you confirmed that there was no major problem with this treatment method, so you submitted the report to "Fire Moth", and after reviewing it, "Fire Moth" began to promote this treatment method. You also wrote a complete treatment plan in detail, including the preparation of biological reagents, the detection of the amount of nanometal injection, how to observe each stage, how to determine whether the removal surgery can be performed, and most importantly, the process of crystal removal surgery, etc.]
[At the same time, considering that the entire treatment process requires the growth of metal crystals on the body surface, this treatment method is called "ore disease therapy" because it looks like ore.]
[As for why the word "disease" is added in the middle... Mainly because compared to the purple lines caused by the collapse erosion, this kind of stone growth on the body surface is too conspicuous and more like a "disease", so it is ridiculed like this.]
[Not only that, in subsequent research, "Fire Moth" also found that the crystals taken from humans... seem to be able to be used as energy. Considering that its essence is just to transfer the Honkai energy in the human body through a special method, it is not difficult to understand...]
[Then, because the taken out crystal, or the energy metal block is black as a whole (the color of metal), and the center is slightly purple (the color of Honkai erosion, within the range of your "song", it is light purple due to stability, and bright purple or dark purple when active), because it will not madly overflow Honkai energy like the "Honkai Crystal" (attracted by the metal block composed of nanometal), and is rich in energy (after all, it is Honkai energy in essence), and at the same time, it can use special methods to allow people to use the Honkai energy on it more stably and safely]
[Therefore, it is called the "Energy Stone", or - "Origin Stone".]
[Although, there are still many problems with the treatment method of "ore disease therapy", such as the relatively long recovery time after the removal surgery; the position of crystal formation may deviate from the predetermined position; the internal organs may be covered during the crystal formation process; the internal organs may be compressed after the crystal formation... Such follow-up problems still need to be solved.]
[There are still many issues to worry about, including the dangers and conveniences of the Origin Stone itself, the benefits that come with it, and the inevitable power struggle that follows...]
[But no matter what, thanks to your efforts, Honkai disease, or Honkai erosion, is no longer an unsolvable problem.]
[Perhaps it will need to be continuously optimized in the future. Perhaps a better treatment method can be developed that can directly cure the Honkai erosion without the need to condense crystals on the body, undergo a long treatment process, or endure the strange looks of others.]
[But at least now, you have found a way to "cure" everyone.]
[No matter what, your names will be engraved in the history books of mankind.]
「Well... but you don't really care about these anymore.」
[You just looked at the patients who cheered after learning that they could be saved, and the people who were freed from the erosion of the Honkai and could move freely and live a good life again... Looking at their happy expressions, you also felt happy from the bottom of your heart.]
[Just like you once believed... these lives can be saved... and you actually did it.]
['Hmm... It's great~ Watching lives come alive again in front of me, watching them escape the threat of death, this is indeed the happiest thing as a "doctor".']
[Especially... you saved Yin's parents... hehe~ it really is a happy thing!]
[But later, after learning about the situation, Yin told you that... she wanted to bring people to join the "Fire Moth".]
[Honkai destroyed her "family" and almost killed her parents... She also wants to fight against Honkai.]
[Although Yin's background is somewhat "dirty", considering that you were the one who recommended her, and "Fire Moth" actually doesn't mind this "dirty" thing. After all, they still need people to deal with some things that are not easy to see in the light, so... Yin also brought people to join "Fire Moth".]
[And Sakura also came in—after all, in a sense, Sakura is still a subordinate of Yin's "family"... It's normal for her to join.]
[At the same time, after Yin joined, "Fire Moth" naturally labeled her as you, or... the label of Mobius's faction.]
[No way, after all, she was introduced by you and she has a good relationship with you?]
[More importantly, I don't know what Yin was thinking in the end, but she actually submitted a request to Mobius, hoping to transfer Sakura to your side to be your "guard" and assistant... and Mobius, I don't know what she was doing, actually agreed!]
[When you see Sakura coming to you in a nurse's uniform, you are completely stunned.]
[Although you don't object to this, after all, you and Sakura have a pretty good relationship, so it's not a problem to let her stay by your side and handle some things... but she didn't listen to your opinion at all, didn't even ask you, didn't even tell you... isn't this a bit too much?]
[You later learned that it was Vill-V who revealed to Mobius the somewhat subtle yet close relationship between you and Sakura, and later Mobius got confirmation from Yin. So in order to "tease" you a little and give her favorite "guinea pig" a little "surprise", Mobius used her power and agreed to Yin's application.]
[Hmm… very good.]
[You don't know if it's a surprise or not.]
[You only know that Mobius didn't learn her lesson after the last incident.]
[But...]
[You look at Sakura who is busy beside you and tilt your head.]
「Well... never mind, this is not bad.」
