Chapter 503: Split
Soon after sending the message, Light Nest Company responded, assuring Chen Chuan that their current technology could meet his requirements.
Light Nest Company now possesses Parasitic Implantation Technique, and even if they cannot naturally grow Aberration organisms, they can still cultivate robust Aberration organisms.
Chen Chuan examined this technique, which primarily involves extracting a portion of the organism requiring technical services and then implanting it into similar and closely related Aberration organisms. Once the Aberration organism is induced, it can be re-implanted.
The drawback is that this technique can be damaging to the organism, potentially disrupting the entire circulatory system, but long-term nursing services from the company are required.
Therefore, the optimal method is spontaneous induction, allowing the organism to grow Aberration organisms on its own and then using medication for restraint and control, ensuring minimal damage.
Lastly, they mentioned that the organism requiring services can be sent to them, and with their advanced equipment and conditions, they can perform a comprehensive test to provide a satisfying solution for the client.
After reviewing the information, Chen Chuan decided to conduct an internal query within the Defense Department. He recalled glimpsing something on the platform last time, and it seemed that there was also relevant research within the government.
He would decide how to proceed after reviewing the information.
As he embarked on the path of Psychic Cultivation, his perception of external objects became sharper, and he always felt that Dawn Crow's normal lifespan might not be very long.
However, with Aberration organisms, it would be different. If properly restrained, the organism's lifespan could increase during the growth process. Moreover, Dawn Crow could possess some combat power and even assist him.
If this could be achieved, it would be a win-win situation.
After exiting the platform, he took out the new incense medicine given by Teacher Xue and began a new round of meditation. Like the previous incense medicine, this one had a time limit and needed to be used promptly.
This time, he continued his meditation until the afternoon, then got up to exercise his fists and feet before sitting down again to practice the newly learned Shaken Divine Hammer and Hollowing Seal.
Around 6 o'clock, he emerged from his meditation, consumed a few nutrition bars, freshened up, and sat on the sofa, browsing the Edge Channel while waiting for a message from the Interdimensional Connector.
After a while, a figure holding a book in the Interdimensional Connector started flashing, and he saw it was Fang Zhixin. He connected and said, "Assistant Fang?"
Fang Zhixin replied, "Captain Chen, sorry to disturb you. I wanted to inform you that Major Yu Lie might join the training class tomorrow. After all, he's a rare talent, and he guarantees he won't cause any more trouble for Captain Chen or anyone else. He just hopes Captain Chen won't mind."
Chen Chuan said, "Assistant Fang, you're too kind. This is Teacher Chen's training class, and it's up to Teacher Chen to decide who joins. I have no reason to interfere."
Whether Major Yu Lie was causing trouble or not, Chen Chuan didn't really care. He just hoped that Major Yu Lie would come to him again after improving his skills.
Hearing Chen Chuan's nonchalant tone, Fang Zhixin heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Captain Chen. I won't disturb you further. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After the conversation with Fang Zhixin, there was no longer any movement.
Around 7 o'clock, Counselor Pei's message arrived.
Chen Chuan received it and took the elevator downstairs. As soon as he stepped out of the plaza, he saw Counselor Pei's car and walked over to open the door and get in.
Once settled in the car, it turned onto the elevated road. Chen Chuan tapped the Interdimensional Connector and sent a report to Counselor Pei.
This report contained the records of his recent exchanges with Chen Bitong.
After reading the report, Counselor Pei said, "I've received reports about you at the Defense Department, Captain Chen. I never expected your progress to be so rapid. Among those who came for training, only you have remained there."
Chen Chuan replied, "That's only because the trainees mainly lacked combat experience. Those with rich experience are probably fighting on the front lines of defense."
Counselor Pei smiled and said, "Captain Chen, you're being modest. Even if a young officer has extensive experience, it's hard to compare with Chen Bitong's twenty-plus years of garrison experience. They're all learning, and it's clear to see who's superior. Continue following up on this task, but I called you out today for another matter."
At this point, Counselor Pei's expression turned solemn.
Chen Chuan sensed his seriousness and said, "I'm listening."
Counselor Pei's face turned stern as he said, "The Central City is a node of the World Ring, the forefront of the collision between two worlds. Each Central City is built upon a large Field Domain Beast. Our Jibei Central City relies on the Hive Mother.
As a living organism, every fifteen years, it undergoes self-splitting reproduction, causing intense Field Domain fluctuations that can affect the entire Central City. In another month or two, but no more than a hundred days, it will be time for its split."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chuan connected the previous clues and thought to himself, no wonder the Central City takes this matter so seriously, especially when it involves the Hive Mother.
The entire field domain of Central City is built upon the Hive Mother. If the Hive Mother encounters issues, the field domain will inevitably become unstable, and communication within the city may face significant disruptions.
However, this is just the secondary concern. There is a more critical situation that we must consider...
Councillor Pei spoke gravely, "While information transmission is crucial, the city government and various companies all possess independent sentient entities. Even smaller companies and departments are equipped with field domain beasts, which can maintain a certain level of independent operation in the absence of strong interference."
"In the 95th year of the Great Harmony's founding, the field domain beasts in Central City undergo splitting every 15 to 20 years. We have ample experience in handling this."
"But today is different from the past. A gap has appeared on the World Ring, and its primary location is right here."
"The World Ring is not entirely intact, and the occurrence of gaps is a common event. As long as Central City remains and the field domain beasts that construct the nodes are present, we can always repair the gaps with some time. However, this time coincides with the Hive Mother's reproductive splitting, making the situation entirely different."
Chen Chuan asked, "Councillor Pei, what consequences might this lead to?"
Councillor Pei sighed, "This will inevitably cause the original gap to expand. And if it's more severe," he took a breath, "it might allow the originally confined rifts to spread, bringing the other world closer to us."
Chen Chuan's expression turned slightly solemn. This situation was indeed very dangerous. Once those rifts spread, all sorts of scenarios could unfold.
Aside from the two world channels themselves, the anomalies and phenomena they induce could impact not only Central City but also the surrounding cities.
Councillor Pei said, "Considering this situation, the higher-ups have made preparations. The surrounding central cities will also dispatch support when the time comes, striving to contain the rifts within the Central City's boundaries and addressing any potential emergencies."
"There's an unavoidable issue. In the past, we have guided and modified the Hive Mother and similar field domain beasts to a certain extent. Therefore, during splitting and reproduction, the split-off parts won't be overly large, minimizing the impact. However, relatively, they will possess a certain quantity."
"These split-off entities also inherit some characteristics of the Hive Mother, including the ability to travel between the two worlds. If we don't control and restrain them promptly, some may end up in the other world."
"Apart from this task, we also need to be vigilant against the various foreign companies in Central City. Among the numerous central cities in Great Harmony, there are only nine original entities like the Hive Mother. The other field domain beasts are all products of splitting and reproduction from these originals, representing the pinnacle of Great Harmony's field domain beast technology."
"Once a central city encounters changes, these companies will undoubtedly take action. They might have already made preparations for this."
He spoke with utmost seriousness, "If those companies obtain the split-off parts of the Hive Mother, it will, to some extent, reveal our secrets regarding these entities and our modification methods. Therefore, we must capture and retrieve every single one of them."
"Under safe conditions, this process should not encounter any issues. However, the appearance of the gap on the other side implies that everything is filled with uncertainty."
Chen Chuan deeply agreed.
Through reverse deduction, the timing of this gap's appearance is unlikely to be a mere coincidence. Those with ulterior motives will not sit idly by.
Councillor Pei rubbed his brow, "There's more to our headaches. Since the gap's appearance, we're uncertain about the number of entities that have crossed over from the other side. We've confirmed two—the one from Fusion Zone Company was eliminated by Captain Chen, and another was dealt with by the Defense Department. But we can't be sure there aren't more."
"If there are, they are currently hiding somewhere. If the Hive Mother undergoes changes and the two worlds draw closer, they will undoubtedly reveal themselves. That will be another troublesome matter."
"Currently, we don't know their types or strengths, but a significant portion of our main forces must be dedicated to guarding against this potential contingency."
"Therefore, Captain Chen, be prepared from now on. If the situation turns unfavorable, you may need to take the field. Also, regarding Chen Bitong, the higher-ups have yet to decide on his arrangements. In the near future, you must pay extra attention to his every move."
Chen Chuan nodded, "I understand."
At this moment, he raised his eyes to look outside. Vehicles were driving through the gaps between the towering buildings, with lights of various colors flickering and drifting in the sky and the distance. Yet, even the most dazzling lights could not dispel the pervasive darkness.
Beyond the colorful neon lights lay the boundless, deep night sky, seemingly enveloping the entire Central City.
"Additionally, there are many unstable factors that I won't elaborate on."
Councillor Pei tapped the Interdimensional Connector, "This is a detailed explanation regarding the Hive Mother and some specific information about Central City. These details cannot be retransmitted and will self-erase in five hours. Captain Chen, after you return, please review them carefully."
