No, this is no ordinary crystal...

The crystal clear surface is covered with wrinkles and gaps, and there are thousands of crystalline threads entangled inside, like a dense neural network.

If we say that the area where the monster's main brain is located is like a super giant brain with a diameter of several hundred meters.

So, this crystal fragment is like the remains of a brain tissue the size of a walnut!

Moreover, when Meng Chao stared deeply at it, its interior still emitted a magnificent brilliance, as if a non-existent eye had slightly opened and collided with Meng Chao's gaze.

Meng Chao felt a biological current surge through every nerve ending in his body.

He blurted out: "This is a crystallized neurosphere, and it's still alive!"

Regardless of whether it is an extraordinary person or a super beast, if it is nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon, and the spiritual energy accumulates in the body over time, there is a certain chance that it will penetrate into the internal organs, limbs, bones, and even bones and blood vessels, so that the original flesh and blood body will gradually have a metallic appearance.

Texture, even translucent crystal texture.

This process is called "crystallization", or "crystallization" for short.

After being "crystallized", the functions of organs are greatly improved, and they can easily activate abilities ten times or even a hundred times beyond those of ordinary organs.

This is the source of the power of the extraordinary.

Just like Meng Chao's latest breakthrough of the "Five-Star Spiritual Vision Realm", which is to condense spiritual energy into the retina, lens and optic nerve, so that these visual organs are all "crystallized".

Usually when extraordinary people are at the "Three-Star Spiritual Gathering Realm" at the pinnacle of the Earth Realm, and after monsters reach "Level Three Nightmare Beasts", their organs will gradually "crystallize".

The first thing to "crystallize" is often the bones.

Many extraordinary beings and nightmare beasts can "crystallize" their bones to become as hard as iron, and exert unparalleled power.

Then came flesh and sinew.

The "crystallized" flesh, flesh and tendons can often expand several times and even extend several meters in length.

This is how a seemingly thin extraordinary person can "transform" into a person nearly three meters tall in an instant, with muscles all over his body stretching like a giant spirit descending from the earth.

The most difficult organs to "crystallize" are undoubtedly the brain tissue and nervous system.

For one thing, brain tissue is just as fragile as the spinal cord.

On the other hand, the brains of carbon-based intelligent creatures actually contain too many mysteries.

The consequences of rashly infusing a large amount of spiritual energy into the brain are probably not brain enhancement, but brain hemorrhage, obsession, loss of control of the nervous system, endocrine disorders, etc.

Therefore, the brain tissue and nervous system absorb a large amount of spiritual energy, and gradually appear crystal clear texture, forming the "crystalized neurosphere", which is the rarest and best material.

Not only is it priceless, it is simply a priceless treasure.

I think back then, Meng Chao and Qin Hu didn't know each other until they fought over a crystallized nerve ball harvested from the body of the monster "Golden Ghost".

The Golden Ghost is just an ordinary monster. Strictly speaking, it is impossible to form a crystallized nerve ball in the true sense.

It was just a coincidence that this golden ghost had been active in the aura-rich cave heaven all year round, and had been contaminated by a few strands of aura, giving its nerve clusters a glimmer of crystal clear feeling.

This is enough to change the fate of Meng Chao's family.

But the crystal fragments in front of you are like a miniature brain. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The seven-color mysterious light it emits is like brainwave ripples visible to the naked eye. It is the best among crystallized nerve balls.

Neither Meng Chao, who has the memory of his previous life, nor Lei Zongchao, the legendary "martial arts myth", have ever seen such a perfect crystallized nerve ball with such a perfect appearance and such powerful psychic ripples.

The two of them narrowed their eyes in unison.

"Is this...the remains of the monster mastermind?" Meng Chao swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat, his voice still trembling.

"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that this is the only thing left after the monster mastermind turned into a bubble and the bubbles burst."

Shao Zhengyang paused and then said, "However, we are not sure yet whether it can be regarded as the 'remains of the monster mastermind'."

Meng Chao was slightly startled.

Since it was the only thing left after the monster mastermind was wiped out, what else could it be if it wasn't its remains?

"We are trying to analyze the composition of this crystallized neurosphere. Although we still don't know what material it is made of, we can be sure that unless the combined action of high temperature, high pressure and spiritual energy radiation occurs for tens or even hundreds of millions of years,

Otherwise, it would never be possible to create such...perfect shape and texture."

Wu Haibo explained, "Reading the information in this crystallized neurosphere also confirms our speculation that this thing is at least tens of millions of years old."

"What? Meng Chao was shocked.

The crystallized neurospheres, which look like miniature brains, have a history of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. They are truly "relics from ancient times".

If it was really the brain of a powerful life form, it should also be an ancient creature.

However, the life of the monster mastermind certainly cannot be as long as hundreds of millions of years.

Except for a few plants, it is neither possible nor necessary for a carbon-based creature that looks like a giant ant queen to live for such a long time.

"That is to say, within the body of the monster's main brain, there is another...an ancient brain that does not belong to it?" Meng Chao's face was filled with shock.

"A more reasonable speculation is that this 'ancient brain' has been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years. After gradually waking up, it released a mysterious power similar to brain waves, attracting the surrounding carbon-based organisms to it, and slowly attracted it

Wrapped up, the cells continue to divide, proliferate and grow, and eventually become the 'monster mastermind'."

Wu Haibo said, "To put it simply and crudely, the 'Ancient Brain' woke up from hundreds of millions of years of slumber and felt that it needed a body, so it created the 'Monster Master Brain' and then used the Monster Master Brain to drive a larger scale."

Super giant brain', and even the entire 'matrix'.

"By the way, the Ruins Research Institute named the brain with a diameter of several hundred meters just now as the 'giant brain', and this crystallized neurosphere is the 'microbrain'.

"We believe that the 'microbrain' is the core of the entire 'matrix system'."

"It's incredible."

Meng Chao clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Can such a brain tissue the size of a walnut be able to drive a 'giant brain' hundreds of meters in diameter, a 'matrix' that occupies dozens of miles of underground space, or even thousands of beasts?"

"Not 'one'."

Wu Haibo corrected him, "By reading the information stored in the 'Micro Brain' and some other evidence found deep in the No. 2 ruins, we preliminarily speculated that it would take hundreds of people to activate 100% of the performance and power of the 'Matrix'.

Thousands of 'micro-brains' are connected together in incredible ways to form an 'array thinking unit'.

Insert an app: a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact and a replaceable source app——.

"Unfortunately, most of the 'microbrains' were destroyed in the ancient war, and only 1% of the active tissue of the 'matrix' remained. Only the last 'microbrain' escaped the orbit of space-based weapons.

Despite the blows and the erosion of hundreds of millions of years, it has survived to this day by luck.

"Of course, there is nothing 'pity' about this.

"If two 'microbrains' wake up at the same time and activate % of the active tissues of the 'mother body', now, I'm afraid we humans are not here to study it, but they kill 90% of humans and then leave the remaining 10

% of human beings were taken into the laboratory, tied to the operating table, and studied as they pleased."

Meng Chao was convinced.

Close your eyes, and a mysterious and grand picture appears in front of you.

At the core, there are hundreds of walnut-sized, crystal-clear "microbrains" connected together by nanoscale crystal wires to form a uniform, solemn, and precise cube.

This model not only avoids the shortcomings of a brain that is too large, has poor heat dissipation, and lacks mobility and defense. When necessary, it can also be equipped with different "bodies" and broken into parts, making it easier to expand and meet challenges.

and migration.

The outside of the "array thinking unit" is wrapped with a "giant brain" hundreds of meters in diameter.

The "micro-brain" can be responsible for calculation and deduction tasks at the thinking level, while the "giant brain" is responsible for the specific promotion and implementation at the execution level, with a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.

Outside the "giant brain" is the "resource collection center, resource smelting center, genetic laboratory, biochemical weapons manufacturing workshop, recruit training camp, and troop upgrade center" of the "mother" ancient civilization and monster civilization!

Outside of the "matrix", between heaven and earth, it is naturally through this exquisite system that a steady stream of endless beasts are produced, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

"The biochemical technology of the ancient civilization has indeed reached its peak. With such technology, it may only take a few 'ancients' carrying a few 'mother seeds' to easily cross the sea of ​​stars and conquer a planet!

"

Meng Chao clicked his tongue in surprise.

Although the ancient civilization has a "travel engine" that can directly teleport a city to the other side of the star sea.

But Meng Chao felt that such a time-travel would definitely consume astronomical amounts of energy, and there were still many restrictions, so it might not be possible to do it as one wished.

If you are not careful, the entire city will travel to a place where the environment is extremely harsh, unsuitable for the continuation of civilization, and even powerful enemies are entrenched. Wouldn't you be seeking death?

It would be much simpler and cheaper to send a few "ancients" to travel across time with a few "mother seeds".

Even if these "ancient people" unfortunately encountered an accident, it would not cause much damage to the entire ancient civilization.

etc.

Meng Chao suddenly grasped the key between the lines of Wu Haibo's words.

"Can you read the information from the ancient times in the 'microbrain'?" His eyes widened.

"certainly."

Wu Haibo smiled and said, "Many ancient relics contain a large amount of information originating from ancient times.

"Enter the ancient ruins, come into contact with the relics, listen to the 'call of the ancient times', and figure out the mysterious pictures that come to mind. This is an important way for human beings to learn from the 'ancients', and it is also the reason why Dragon City can grow in just half a century.

, the key to achieving technological leaps and even explosions, and successfully transforming into a 'psionic civilization'.
