Chapter 263

Andrew has a good memory.

In other words, scholars have a good memory.

As the two directions of extraordinary people, scholars and wizards have certain similarities.

The way wizards grab ether is "expression".

Whether it is the "language" of the black wizard or the "word" of the white wizard, they are all ways to express will and desire, empowered by ether, and finally form spells.

Correspondingly, the method for scholars to grab ether is "learning".

Through the knowledge that itself contains ether—knowledge represents the rules of the world, itself is the "expression" of the will of the world—explore, remember, integrate, and use, and then endow the products built on the basis of knowledge with ether. the power of.

These products include all aspects, weapons, buildings, secret medicines, and so on.

From the appearance of the scholar to the present, his position among the extraordinary has been unshakable, because no matter whether it is ordinary people or extraordinary, they cannot do without these products.

This is the great irreplaceable value of scholars, and it is also the root cause of the fact that the Truth Society can control the extraordinary in a certain sense.

These two paths are the path of the circulation of ether, and the same is true for other types of extraordinary people, but each has different characteristics.

Of course, this is already an internal connection and difference.

A wizard and a scholar, on the surface, actually have only one very superficial thing in common-good brains.

In the process of continuous "expression" and "learning", wizards and scholars are most often in contact with the organ of the ether, which is the brain.

Aether flows in and out of it in large quantities, forming a flush-like state.

Therefore, the brains of scholars are gradually affected, producing irreversible changes, and slowly deepening as the level increases.

The physical strength of most scholars is almost the same as that of ordinary people. Only through specially made exoskeleton armor or prosthetics can they obtain physical combat power beyond ordinary people.

But in terms of brain domain, scholars are more than a step higher than other extraordinary people, wizards are second.

And memory is also one of the very important aspects.

Andrew was sure that he did not remember wrongly.

He had indeed met the assistant of this bookstore at a certain point in the past, this girl who looked like a thin daffodil.

Memories spliced ​​together quickly in my mind, flickering and sliding like a movie, going backward frame by frame.

In the end, it was frozen in the laboratory with cold lights.

One by one, the juvenile artificial humans who are fixed in containers and rely on various nutrient solutions to maintain their fragile lives look blankly at the outside world. Their thinking and souls are not complete. These semi-finished products and even failed products cannot even make independent ones. Thinking.

Even the doors of the laboratory are opened layer by layer, and the lively movement of people entering here will not cause the slightest disturbance.

Surrounded by several people, Andrew walked in the middle of the crowd, being laughed and complimented as he walked forward.

As the vice president, there are some people who want to please him, but his interest in these people is not as great as thinking about what to have for dinner tonight.

He smiled perfunctorily but politely, but his eyes skipped over the faces of these artificial people wrapped in various tubes in transparent jars—at this moment, he was inspecting the progress of the "mud tire" project as usual .

Since the plan that required a lot of resources was approved a few years ago, he has come to inspect this laboratory jointly opened by mechanics and alchemy every month.

But it is a pity and disappointment that in the past few years, the progress of the experiment has been very slow, and no successful artificial human has been obtained so far.

Although such a project as an artificial human is very difficult even for the Truth Society.

But this kind of massive resource consumption, the truth will also not be able to bear...

In fact, when Andrew recalled it later, he felt a little strange why when this almost absurd plan was proposed at that time, no one in the Truth Society actually opposed it, but it was approved unanimously with high enthusiasm.

Even if the truth has scholars in various fields, it also has the capital of ignoring humanity.

However, the landlord’s family has no food left over... Not to mention that it is impossible for the Truth Society to give up research in other fields to specialize in the "mud tire" project with little hope.

What's more, the plan's consumption of Philosopher's Stones of various quality levels has reached an astonishing level.

The cornerstone of the "mud tire" project is that the Truth Society has achieved mass production of the inferior sage's stone.

Prior to this, an inferior sage's stone of ordinary quality, the size of a grain of rice, was already an extremely difficult subject for panic-level scholars, and scholars in the field of alchemy generally used the production of inferior sage's stones as a criterion for their success. sign.

If the alchemy exam is a math paper, making an inferior sage's stone is the big question at the end. Most people may not even understand the question, and they are completely blind.

Therefore, most scholars in the field of alchemy will never become teachers in their lifetime...

The Truth Society brought together a group of top scholars, and under the combined efforts of all, they managed to accomplish the incredible feat of mass-producing the inferior Philosopher's Stone.

Then, the "mud tire" project was launched.

Andrew's hasty gaze rested on the transparent container numbered S-227 in front of him. In the bubbling nutrient solution, the artificial man floating in it had an immature and pale face, but he could still feel the familiarity. faces.

At that time, he left soon, and did not pay attention to such an ordinary artificial human.

But Andrew, who was on the sidelines at this moment, recalled the past again, and found that the moment he turned his head, the artificial man seemed to tilt his head, and his dull eyes focused on a scholar who was closest to her. Soon it disappeared like a hallucination.

"Hi, would you like something to drink? Here is the menu."

A slender and pale hand suddenly pushed a piece of paper in front of him, and a faint voice sounded: "Today there is a new pearl milk tea, but the discount coupons for the first 100 people have been distributed..."

Andrew snapped back to his senses, and looked up to meet the gaze of the bookstore assistant. The girl's dark pupils were almost pure.

The same indifference, the same eyes.

S-227!

That's right, this bookstore assistant is the second batch of artificial humans that he had seen in the laboratory at a glance!

There was a storm in Andrew's heart.

When the laboratory was attacked, a total of three androids were missing, one of which was S-227, who thought they might be robbed together, but unexpectedly, they became the assistants of the bookstore.

Could it be that, from that time on, Mr. Lin already knew the overall plan of the Fire Sword Road that they still kept in the dark? !

Otherwise, how could they take away an artificial man as an assistant in the sneak attack that they didn't expect.

Andrew suppressed the shock in his heart, took out the neatly folded discount coupon from his pocket, and said quickly: "I have it! I have the discount coupon! Mr. Lin gave it to me..."

He stretched out his hand and handed it over, Moen took a look and confirmed that it was the one that Lin Jie had taken in advance, nodded and said: "Then a cup of pearl milk tea, right?"

Andrew took a long breath and nodded again and again: "That's right."

I see!

Everything was in Boss Lin's plan... Originally, he wondered why the Philosopher's Stone was given to Mr. Lin, so it was to complete S-227!
