Chapter 782: Revival!
The sky of the Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy looked somewhat different from the one inside the Milky Way Galaxy. When one was in the Milky Way Galaxy, no matter which direction one faced, the universe was filled with densely packed stars above, below, left, and right. But in the Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy it was completely different. This galaxy had fewer than ten million stars, and most of them were dim red giants. So the sky here was extremely dark, with sparse, faint stars inlaid across the celestial sphere without any pattern. Compared with the dim stars of this galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy looked like a full moon here, large and bright, to the point that its spiral structure could even be seen with naked eyesight.
This was a silent, dead galaxy. No new stars formed. Because the stellar base count was too small, supernova explosions were also rare. There were no violently active black holes, no dense gas clouds. Up to now, Xiao Yu had not discovered any life here.
The Pegasus Civilization had already left Xiao Yu. For a Level 6 Civilization, what the environment was like no longer mattered much. As long as there was matter, they could obtain enough energy. Therefore, the Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy could still allow the Pegasus Civilization to live comfortably.
The same was true for Xiao Yu. It had to be known that Xiao Yu’s technology was even more advanced than that of the Pegasus Civilization.
Xiao Yu chose a direction and truly entered the Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy. The closest to Xiao Yu was a massive red giant. It had lived for at least fifteen billion years. Although it was smaller in mass than the Sun and had a longer lifespan than the Sun, at this moment it still had reached the end of its life.
Xiao Yu observed some suspicious signs on it, such as a certain reaction region that was brighter and hotter, and some stellar sunspots with abnormally intense activity. Xiao Yu guessed that this might have been formed by a planetary impact. When it had still been healthy, there had been planets around it, but it kept expanding, increasing its volume. Collisions with stellar material would slow a planet’s orbital speed, until the planet could no longer maintain a stable orbit, and so it would crash violently into the star.
Now it had no planets at all. At the same time, its mass was too small but its density was too high, so capturing such a star and placing it into his small universe was a very unprofitable thing to do, since Xiao Yu’s small universe had limited total volume.
But after looking at the other stars in the Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy, Xiao Yu shook his head slightly and still decided to take this star in. Because compared with the others, this star’s condition could already be considered good.
For Xiao Yu now, everything was developing well. Thanks to ample preparations when leaving the Milky Way Galaxy, during the long journey of one hundred thousand light years, Xiao Yu had not encountered any so-called material shortage at all. Planet-Class warships had been built and there were five of them, and the construction schedule of Star-Class warships had also been formally set.
If the Neutron War Star was not counted, then Xiao Yu now already had the qualifications to barely fight the Sweepers Civilization, no longer as miserable as he had been before.“Then, my kin, it’s time for you to open your eyes again…” Xiao Yu murmured to himself.
He took out the crystal coffin containing Zhang Shengya’s corpse from the most tightly protected place on the Earth Planet-Class warship. Looking at Zhang Shengya inside the crystal coffin, whose features were still vivid and lifelike, Xiao Yu felt a trace of inexplicable melancholy.
With Xiao Yu’s current technology, using Zhang Shengya’s genes to clone Zhang Shengya’s body posed no difficulty at all. Using technological means directly on Zhang Shengya’s original body to make all her organs work again also posed no difficulty. After all, she had died by a specially prepared method. Her body had not been damaged in the slightest.
After one hundred thousand years, now, Zhang Shengya’s body finally completely left the crystal coffin and was placed into a normal environment suitable for human survival. Xiao Yu controlled robots to remove all clothing from her body and laid her flat on the operating table.
When the robot’s fingers brushed across Zhang Shengya’s skin, the sensors on its fingers sent tactile information to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu knew that if he still had a body, and used his own fingers to touch Zhang Shengya, his sensation would be no different from touching an ordinary person, only slightly colder.
Xiao Yu sighed softly and controlled the projection equipment to cast his own phantom here. This phantom had the function of a solid body, so Xiao Yu’s phantom could conveniently operate various surgical instruments here.
Xiao Yu picked up a syringe. Inside was some mysterious blue liquid. Xiao Yu knew that it was actually not liquid, but many nano-robots with smooth surfaces. When many nano-robots gathered together, they became this water-like substance. Then Xiao Yu picked up one of Zhang Shengya’s arms and injected everything in the syringe into Zhang Shengya’s blood vessel.
Each nano-robot was equipped with specialized sensors. Each robot was directly connected to Xiao Yu’s brain, and Xiao Yu was controlling them directly. These nano-robots moved within Zhang Shengya’s blood vessels.
Zhang Shengya was already dead, so naturally she had no blood circulation. In her blood vessels, the blood was like a stagnant pool. But the arrival of these nano-robots changed that. Xiao Yu felt that it was like putting many live fish into a pond, Zhang Shengya’s blood began to ripple again. Along with these ripples, the nano-robots gradually flowed into her heart and began to manipulate Zhang Shengya’s heart: contract, relax, contract, relax.
In the silent operating room, a faint thumping sound began to spread. That was Zhang Shengya’s heart beating. Driven by the heart, the blood began to circulate again. The nutrients carried by the nano-robots were gradually released, and as the blood flowed, they reached every cell in Zhang Shengya’s body, repairing damaged cells.
Another group of nano-robots that circulated to all parts of Zhang Shengya’s body released tiny biological currents in waves. It was as if there was static electricity, Zhang Shengya’s smooth long hair lifted slightly and drifted in the windless operating room, slowly swaying. With the release of biological currents, cells that had long lost all vitality seemed to be gradually filled with electricity, becoming plump and full of life again.
They were like machines that had been left too long without working. The nano-robots provided them with energy again and repaired their damage, so they began working again. It was that simple.
This process lasted for three hours. Xiao Yu’s phantom stood before Zhang Shengya’s operating table the entire time, watching Zhang Shengya’s face with a faint smile.
Zhang Shengya’s fingers twitched unconsciously once, and then she slowly opened her eyes. But there was no expression on her face, and there was no light in her eyes. Xiao Yu knew that at this moment, Zhang Shengya still could not be fully called revived, because she had no memories of the past era and no ability to think independently. Right now, she was only surviving by instinct. If given food, she would instinctively open her mouth, instinctively chew and swallow, but even if she starved to death, she would not get up to look for food herself. She could still breathe by instinct, but if both her nose and mouth were blocked, she would suffocate to death without resisting.
Right now she was similar to a vegetative state patient from the Earth era, and her condition was even more severe.
All of this was naturally within Xiao Yu’s expectations. Xiao Yu waved his hand, and a robot carried in a clump of something that was almost transparent. This thing was part of the body of his Specter companion. At that encounter, the Specter companion had separated this thing from its own body and handed it to Xiao Yu, so that when Xiao Yu revived Zhang Shengya, he could use this thing as a vessel for the soul.
Xiao Yu took the thing. With a slight movement of his other hand, a pen-like object appeared in his hand. Next, Xiao Yu began writing and drawing on the clump of unknown energy, as if the clump were a sheet of paper.
The nano-robots could report to Xiao Yu at any time the remaining memories in Zhang Shengya’s brain. Research results originating from Xu Junpo could allow Xiao Yu to directly modify the soul body. What Xiao Yu needed to do now was exactly this, when Zhang Shengya finally awakened, she would fully possess all the memories she had before dying.
Xiao Yu’s pen moved extremely quickly, so quickly that even the phantom could not be seen. Even so, Xiao Yu still spent a full three hours engraving before completing this work. After that, Xiao Yu placed the clump of unknown energy onto Zhang Shengya’s brain. From the outside, it looked like Zhang Shengya’s head was shrouded in a layer of mist.
The nano-robots throughout Zhang Shengya’s body began to work together. Biological currents of varying strength were released in waves. As the biological currents were released, the color of the clump of unknown energy gradually grew dimmer, as if it were being absorbed by Zhang Shengya’s head. Zhang Shengya’s eyes closed again, and only after the clump of unknown energy completely disappeared, fully absorbed by her, did she open her eyes again.
Just like someone finally waking from deep sleep, a series of indistinct murmurs came from Zhang Shengya’s mouth. As if she felt uncomfortable, Zhang Shengya turned over unconsciously. Perhaps the hard surface of the operating table hurt her. She finally opened her eyes.
A pair of sleepy eyes opened hazily and then immediately closed. After a few seconds, once she adapted to the intensity of the light, her eyes opened again, and she saw the young man standing before her, smiling at her.
