Steel steam and flame

"How do you know?" Cassia wondered.

"Because twenty-four inhibitory tubes have been implanted in your body, and the nerve tissue in these twenty-four inhibitory tubes are all taken from me. I have to say this is a miracle." Su Kalius sighed.

"Even your own tissues are mutually exclusive between different individuals. So you should know how strongly the tissues of organisms of different species are mutually exclusive, right?"

"I know this." Cassia listened carefully to what was going on.

"The function of this inhibitory tube is to suppress your body's reaction to the rejection of dragon biological tissue. Everyone who has undergone surgery has an inhibitory tube in his body, unless he has completed all five assimilation stages. , the suppressor tubes can be removed. So how to determine the number of suppressor tubes is related to the length of your dream. Usually only two suppressor tubes are implanted in people who can wake up within a day, and then according to the number of days Increasingly. After the longest time exceeds eight days, sixteen roots will be implanted in the body. And people like you who have been comatose for more than fifteen days should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations according to the data I stole from the military analysis machine. Yes, but the actual situation is that twenty-four suppressor tubes have been implanted. This shows that there should be a lot of power behind you, otherwise the military will never give you such an opportunity." Sukarius's words are true. Thoughts.

"Dispose of it? What is the use of this suppressor tube? According to you, the number of suppressor tubes seems to have other meanings?" Cassia asked.

"Of course, getting rid of it means erasing it, because once the number of suppressor tubes reaches sixteen, it shows that you are an extremely unstable and dangerous existence, let alone twenty-four like you. If the operator removes two suppressor tubes, Comparing it to a heavy sniper rifle that has no problem at all and can carry out any precise strike, then the operator with sixteen suppressor tubes is a bomb that can explode at any time. Sixteen tubes means that it will go berserk at any time, and the rejection reaction in the body will It is too strong, like burning oil. Once it touches a little water, it will fry the whole pot. The sudden burst of power is very huge, even exceeding the heavy sniper rifle at one time." Sucarius explained.

"So, a surgeon with sixteen suppressor tubes is stronger than two?"

"Correct, the power of such a burst is much stronger than that of an operator with two suppression tubes. But can you control the oil in the frying pan from splashing everywhere? Cover the lid, and then the power of the bursting out of the frying pan will be controlled by the lid. It's completely blocked, which is equivalent to nothing. If you open the lid, you can't control it. And there is no compromise method of opening a corner of the lid to let some power burst out. So this kind of power, as mentioned above, is a Explosives that can explode at any time will always be the first to be injured. In the stored information of the military analysis machine, there is no human being who has successfully controlled it. Compared with the surgeon who can go berserk at any time, gentleness and controllability are the most important. Good choice."

Sukarius then added: "And even if you can control this power, can you imagine using your body as a container, with a frying pan inside at any time? So the surgeon with sixteen suppression tubes either The suppressed tube tightly controls the power, preventing the burning oil from getting any chance of getting any moisture. Either the oil pan explodes, rapidly consuming one's own life force until one's own death."

"Since you said that, then there must be a solution?" Cassia heard the smell.

"Of course, this is a bargaining chip for me. I can tell you how to control your power, just like you can make the oil pan explode at any time, and you can also restore calm to the exploded oil pan at any time. But the loss of vitality is It cannot be solved. Unless I am by your side now and rely on my own strength to eliminate the rejection reaction for you, or you can advance the surgical assimilation to the fifth stage yourself, then you can start to work on it on your own. Basically restore your own vitality. Otherwise, other methods will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and can only relieve the symptoms."

"Methods to alleviate symptoms, does that mean there is still room for maneuver?"

"Of course, this is the second bargaining chip. The evolution and survival of our dragons are very cruel. We can gain strength and growth by devouring our own kind, and we have ways to increase our own strength by devouring the perfectly evolved materials of other similar kinds. When this method is used on you humans, the effect is to repair the body damaged by rejection. To put it simply, it is to restore vitality. The specific reason may be that the evolutionary level between the two is too different. Your human body You can’t control this substance well.”

"Are there any chips left?"

"There is also the last one, which can be said to be two. One is about the bioelectric induction field. This is where I can't help you, so don't ask more. You have to remember that once you have a mysterious feeling, You must work hard to catch it, this is very important. Because of the strong rejection reaction, the bioelectric induction field will most likely appear on you earlier than anyone else. The second is that I can help you escape from the dream. . Now relying on your own strength, you may only die in a dream. And external forces can't help you at all, except to constantly implant suppressive tubes in your body and wait for you to wake up. "

"Bioelectric induction field?" Cassia was very interested, and it was a term she had never heard before.

"I can't explain this kind of thing clearly. I can only explore it myself. I can't help you at all. I can only remind you to pay more attention to this mysterious thing." Sukarius said in a rare serious tone.

"I will pay attention. Then let me escape from the dream. It seems that I have to agree to your request." Cassia smiled.

"That's not the case. Even if you don't agree to the deal between you and me, I will still give you all the chips because I have no choice. I thought about using the third chip as a lever to leverage you, but this Intrigue is not suitable for my current situation. My time is very limited, and a contractual transaction based on sincerity is more suitable for my situation." Sukarius said in a low tone.

"Okay, then the last question. Then why choose me? There are thousands of surgeons, but why do you choose me? Is it because my dreams are very long?" Cassia asked again.

"Cassia, the meeting between you and me in the spiritual world is something that can only be achieved based on many miracles. Do you know how many pure dragons are kept in captivity in your empire? More than half a million of them, and you The surgical eye masks, muscle tissue, and various blood extracts were all extracted from more than half a million dragons. But maybe the gods really made a joke to us. All the medicines and transplants injected into your body The tissues are all extracted from my body. Even the nerve tissue in the twenty-four inhibitory tubes are all materials removed from my body. If they can all be gathered in you, they should all be The odds are one in five hundred thousand, so this is no longer a miracle, but a joke made by the gods. And it is precisely because of these things that the spiritual connection between the two of us can be established."

Sukarius was very excited: "And that doesn't count the chance that you came here and activated the analysis engine. If the wreckage of the analysis engine had not been activated, there would be no chance for you and me to talk to each other. So I know I know that this kind of opportunity can only come once in my life. It is impossible for me to give up the opportunity of being favored by the Dragon God. Do you understand this explanation? "

"Okay, if what you said is true, I also admit that this is really a joke made by the Holy Emperor. So, what is your request?"

"It's very simple. Get me out of this cage." Sukarius exhaled and the electronic sound "chichi" sounded.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Cassia also chuckled.

"Friends, if it were so simple, with the powerful strength of our dragons, we would have broken free a long time ago, how could we still be enslaved? But I have to admire the geniuses that are constantly emerging among you humans. One is the invention of lobotomy surgery Scientists, one is the scientist who designed the core of the first-generation analytical engine based on the difference engine. It is precisely because of their inventions that powerful dragons like us can be enslaved."

Sukarius' tone was more sentimental.

"How do you think your empire manages these dragon creatures? It's not by restraining them with steel, but just like monkeys and orangutans. But unlike those imprisoned orangutans, all dragons are imprisoned. All the white matter of the brain was removed, leaving only the brainstem and some parts that can secrete necessary hormones. It is precisely because of the precise surgery under the control of the analytical machine that more than half a million dragons can be kept in captivity without any resistance. Because they don’t have a brain at all, they can’t think. Even though they have great power, they don’t have the key to activate them.”

"Then what's going on with you?" Cassia listened quietly, "Why can you have meaning and even think?"

"The power of dragons lies in their infinite evolution, because of the perfectly evolved materials accumulated in the blood after hundreds of millions of years of evolution. In addition, in your empire, artificial reproduction begins as soon as dragons reach adulthood at the age of twelve. Strategy. After nearly a hundred reproductions, my generation finally evolved a second brain. Even if the main brain is removed, we can still rely on the second brain to think." Sukarius had nothing to hide, "But even if I can think and use power, and the place where dragons are imprisoned is extremely heavily guarded, so it’s not a place I can escape by relying on my own strength alone.”

"That means besides you, there are other dragons in the same situation as you." Cassia suddenly thought in her heart.

"This possibility is not ruled out, but it does not take just a hundred or so reproductions to evolve a second brain. It is just like the connection between us in the spiritual world, and it also requires many miraculous and inevitable conditions to be achieved. At least in No dragon I know is in this situation."

"Okay, I agree to your conditions and the deal is completed." Cassia did not ask any more questions, and it could be heard that Sukarius was not very clear about the inevitable relationship, "Then how am I going to save you. You have to know, My current situation is not very good. As for the forces behind me, I don’t know who they are, so this is not a force that I can mobilize. "

"Of course, saving me requires not only power, but also absolute power. After all, I am a dragon. Although I am only one of more than half a million, everyone has their own attitude towards dragons. The country takes a very serious attitude," Sukarius said.

"Finally, I will send you away from your own dream immediately. As for how to save me and where to keep me, please come back at the fifth stage of surgical assimilation. Only then will you have the most basic power to save me. And At the fifth stage, you should be able to freely enter this dreamland. At that time, we will still communicate with each other through this analysis machine. I will always pay attention to it. If there is no response from the analysis machine at that time, it means that I have been dealt with. . Then there is no need to complete the transaction between us. I hope we will have the opportunity to talk to each other again in the future, whether it is you or me." Sucarius said in a sad tone, even if it is hope, it is very slim. of.

"The password card will pop up after a while. When you pull it out, you will be able to leave the dreamland, and the several methods I mentioned will also be directly written into your memory. Although the process is very painful. Then, please remember us A deal between them," Sukarius said.

The radio electronic sound disappeared in an instant, and the world suddenly returned to silence. There was still only the mournful scream of the wreckage of the battleship around. ,

Cassia was in a trance for a while, as if the conversation just now was a dream within a dream. Only the code card spit out by the wreckage of the analysis machine showed that the dream did indeed exist.

So he stretched out his rough hand and touched the password card.
