Chapter 222 The Awakening of the Super Guide (37)
Today's research continued the testing from the previous day. After Jingli arrived, the progress was very rapid because the so-called impurities could be clearly felt.
Even so, we cannot be careless, after all, this matter is of utmost importance.
Researchers pulled up data on all sentinel guides from the first batch to the present, retrieved all resource usage information, and urgently requested hundreds of samples from the military region and the campus. Finally, they have obtained a highly credible result.
Both experimental results and data demonstrate a correlation between the degree of mental instability and the use of NLa01 extract by Sentinel Guides.
“No.” Jingli shook her head, rejecting the disappointing conclusion. “It’s not related to the NLa01 extract, but to the impurities within it.”
The junior researcher in charge of the final integration gave a wry smile.
He was neither a sentinel nor a guide, so he couldn't even be sensed by spiritual power, let alone by impurities that they couldn't see.
Their extraction of NLa01 was based on the experience of predecessors and optimized little by little. Two days was not enough for them to separate this invisible, brand-new, and even non-existent impurity.
Before it can be identified through technical means, to most people, impurities are simply byproducts of NLa01.
The fact that impurities are positively correlated with the degree of mental disorder is equivalent to saying that NLa01 is positively correlated with the degree of disorder. No wonder everyone was somewhat lifeless after the results came out.
Yan Jiu did not tell everyone that Jing Li had the ability to resolve this matter.
Before this conclusion was sent to Keiri, it had also been simultaneously sent to the military and other relevant personnel's terminals. An invitation to an emergency meeting was subsequently sent, and Keiri was one of the attendees.
The meeting was held in an unremarkable conference room at the research institute. There were few attendees, but they were all high-level personnel.
The meeting was very streamlined. First, Yan Jiu summarized their findings and the seriousness of the matter. Qiao Shan made the decision on the military side to extend the suspension of the supply of NLa01-related resources. The government also ordered a halt to production. The research institute also suspended the injection of the old version of NLa01 into the liquid in the awakening cultivation project.
As for the new version—everyone's attention turned to Jingli, who was sitting in the corner.
Jingli did not explicitly state what she was going to do.
"I need to go and take a look at both the raw material area and the mining area."
This was something he had thought of a long time ago.
There is currently no way to observe the impurities that exist in this world, but it has one characteristic: it requires the human body as a medium.
In other words, the best time to control it is when it exists as a raw material and has not yet spread.
NLa01 resources are scarce globally, and it is already considered a top-tier strategic reserve. The original form, location, and extraction methods of NLa01 are all state secrets, and Jing Li's previous title was simply insufficient to access this information.
But it's different now.
When Jingli reasonably demonstrates her unique S-class guide abilities, and only when these unique abilities are used to solve resource problems, Jingli will naturally be able to access the relevant information.
The discussion at the higher levels did not last long; a decision was made directly at the meeting.
From their perspective, Jingli is a guide they trained at the research institute, a complete blank slate before entering the school.
From Jingli's perspective, although he wasn't as aimless as the Blue Stone Kingdom's higher-ups imagined, the outcome was the same.
After the meeting ended that day, Jingli was personally accompanied by Qiao Shan and taken to the secret mountain area where NLa01 was gathered.
·
As the aircraft approached the mountainous area, Jingli gradually understood why the buildings in the military region and the campus were mainly biomimetic.
Whether viewed from above or after landing, it was difficult to distinguish between the mountainous area, the military area, and the campus.
But when he activated his energy and used his senses, he could still detect some differences—
Compared to the bright and open state of spiritual energy fluctuations in the campus and military areas, this area, in addition to having a power that seems to make people radiant, also has an indescribable feeling of being shrouded by something.
This reminded Jingli of Qi Jian's mental state, and the "monster" he could glimpse every night, bound by something.
Fortunately, information technology is advanced in this world, and there are not many complicated procedures for the transmission of information. The instruction for Jingli and her group to come to the resource area had already been transmitted to the area manager and the robot. Not long after Jingli and Qiaoshan arrived, an intelligent robot came to meet them and took them to a separate area.
This area is further divided into two parts: one is the original mining area, and the other is the raw materials that have already been mined and preliminarily processed.
Thanks to the world's relatively mature automation technology, these resources are mined and transported by machines, and there has been no spillover for the time being. However, it is precisely because few people have direct contact with the original resources at this stage that no one has discovered the terrifying impact of the "impurities" that accompany these resources.
The impurities in the raw materials seemed to sense the approach of humans and became active under Jingli's perception. After Jingli put an energy shield on the group, they reluctantly returned to a small ball, trying to pretend they didn't exist.
If 6058 hadn't said that these impurities had no life or intelligence, and were a kind of substance beyond the normal world, Jingli would almost have thought they were alive.
The unactivated impurities were relatively easy to clean up. Jingli spent an afternoon using energy to crush them all. Afterward, these resources were escorted back to the research institute and purified and produced using a separate system.
Of course, the first batch of NLa01-related products produced will be kept at the research institute and can only be put into use after their effectiveness is confirmed.
Jingli stayed at the research institute for another night to make sure there were no impurities left before leaving with peace of mind.
Given the efficiency of the research institute, the output of the comparison results will not take too long.
Next, all they need to do is wait—wait for a definite result, wait for the rotation of all resources, and wait for this malignant tumor to be eradicated.
As for the Sentinels and Guides who had already been affected by the impurities, the first step was to cut off the source of the continued pollution. Jingli and the research institute worked together to find ways to suppress and break the contamination.
Now that we have that ready-made case study of a guide, we have also drawn preliminary conclusions about the relationship between physical fitness and mental strength. As long as we adjust our practice in this direction, everything will gradually get better.
"Perhaps after this, we will also welcome our first Sentinel or Guide who awakens on his own."
One day, as the sun set, Yan Jiu, who had just completed his main research, and Jing Li, who had been invited to confirm the report, stood together on the small balcony outside the research institute. What greeted their eyes was a vibrant green, and although the sun was slowly setting, it seemed to be different from usual.
Everyone knows the sun will rise again, but this knowledge carries a different kind of hope today.
And this hope will one day be spread to every corner of the world.
