Chapter 197: Real Bio-Generator Unit, Zero Fuel for 100 Kilometers
Yu Yuan looked at the materials listed for crafting the [Spiritual Enhancement Potion] and slightly frowned.
The others were easy enough; the [Blood Sample of Patient Zero Virus Carrier] and the five types of [Acidic Blood] from Elite Infected were already collected.
Only one type of [Alkaline Blood] from Leader-level Infected was still missing, and Spiritual Organs were in no short supply.
The only real difficulty was the [Spirituality Concentrate]. He had once obtained some [Spirituality Concentrate] by chance within a ritual circle.
Previously, when optimizing the [Rare Item Workshop], 5ml was consumed, leaving at most about 2ml of the remaining [Spirituality Concentrate].
This meant he needed to obtain at least another 3ml.
And [Spirituality Concentrate] was the product of a sacrificial ritual that fused spirituality into the cerebrospinal fluid of the offering.
According to Mona, the amount of [Spirituality Concentrate] obtained from one offering was between 2~4ml.
In other words, he needed the equivalent of one more person.
"Spirituality Concentrate!"Yu Yuan looked at the Spirit Crystals on his Positioning Watch.
"The function of Spirituality Concentrate should be to provide spirituality, so can Spirit Crystals be used instead?"
Unfortunately, there was no reaction.
And Spirit Crystals were clearly a higher-grade item than Spirituality Concentrate. Given the means to obtain Spirituality Concentrate, even if Spirit Crystals could be used, he didn't want to waste them.
"Better wait until I see Mona next time and ask her!"
Withdrawing his thoughts, Yu Yuan took out all the spiritual organ and blood samples he had obtained earlier, organized them, and placed them in the dedicated sample containment area of the [Spiritual Creature Laboratory].
The previously empty laboratory immediately started to feel a bit more like one.
He then walked into the biological sample pre-processing room.
[Wow! Loser's Cube] appeared in Yu Yuan's hand, with five squares already lit up inside.
Five [Swiftstriders], trussed up like zongzi, were currently imprisoned within.
Yu Yuan randomly selected one [Swiftstrider] and released it.
The Loser's Cube projected a beam of light onto the floor, and that [Swiftstrider] grew larger and larger from the size of a fingernail, finally returning to its original form.
[Didi-di—Spiritual creature detected, in uncontrolled state. Sample pre-processing area sealing initiated. Security personnel are requested to immediately restrain the spiritual creature sample.]
A laboratory alarm reminder sounded in his ear!
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
This was actually pretty good!
He dismissed the alarm via the Virtual Light Screen.
He approached the Swiftstrider. The dim, withered Swiftstrider, sensing Yu Yuan's presence, wanted to attack. Unfortunately, its arms were broken and its legs were bound with thick rope, leaving it no chance to strike.
Yu Yuan grabbed it and lifted it onto a nearby treatment bed. Five restraint straps shot out from both sides, securing the Swiftstrider's neck, chest, waist, thighs, and ankles.
Yu Yuan, now wearing the rare-tier white coat [Physician's Work Clothes], took out a syringe and stood before the treatment bed, getting into character.
First, he drew blood from the Swiftstrider. Then, following the prompts, he placed the blood sample into a machine for material analysis.
Yu Yuan was completely clueless about this, operating entirely based on prompts like a fool.
"This won't do! I really need to find an experimental-type personnel to bring back later."
Looking at the room full of machines, Yu Yuan felt a headache coming on.
It was foreseeable that experimental operations related to spiritual creatures would only increase in the future, and he couldn't handle all this.
Heaven be my witness, just a month ago he was just a gaming otaku.
Making him do experiments was truly asking the impossible.
"Hmm~ With many debts, one more doesn't weigh you down. Better ask Mona! She probably has a way. If all else fails, just kidnap one from the zoo."
Having been in the wasteland for so long, Yu Yuan's way of thinking had also begun to shift towards the wasteland's style.
Truly worthy of being a Spiritual Creature Laboratory, the blood sample testing was remarkably fast. In less than ten minutes, the blood test information was out.
[Acidic Blood Sample]
Biological Grade: Bronze
Spirituality Factor Level: Medium+
Spirituality Category: Viral
Virus Transmissibility Characteristic: Dormant (Will not spread via blood, skin, bodily fluids, etc. Requires a specific environment to reactivate the transmissibility characteristic of the spiritual virus in the blood, transforming it into an active characteristic.)
Virus Transmissibility Risk Coefficient: Dormant (Safe) / Active (Extremely High Intensity)
Hmm?
Extremely high intensity transmissibility risk coefficient.
The danger of this spiritual virus clearly far exceeded Yu Yuan's understanding. Fortunately, the virus had temporarily lost its transmissibility for now.
"If that's the case, then these Swiftstriders can be used safely after all."
Yu Yuan felt a sense of relief in his heart.
This test result undoubtedly added another chip to his fanciful idea.
Now, everything was ready.
Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.
He walked back into the sample pre-processing room and put that Swiftstrider back into the Loser's Cube.
Impatiently, he ran to the first-floor [Treadmill Generator Room].
He opened one of the cages, released a Swiftstrider, and stuffed it inside.
He tied the Swiftstrider's broken hands to the front of the cage, securing its position.
As the cage closed, the ropes were untied.
The Swiftstrider, regaining its freedom, slammed its body against the cage and let out a roar at Yu Yuan.
But Yu Yuan was already prepared and immediately flipped the electric current switch on the cage.
The Swiftstrider's roar instantly distorted, developing a tremolo.
Roar~~ Zzzap~~~ Hah~~~ Aaaaaah~~
Listening to the sound of the Swiftstrider being electrocuted and watching it immediately move away from the cage bars, a smile tugged at the corner of Yu Yuan's mouth.
This was really good!
Yu Yuan began operating the Virtual Light Screen, remotely controlling the treadmill to start running. Sensing the movement beneath its feet, the Swiftstrider instinctively began to run, but it still displayed aggressive intent towards Yu Yuan.
Thump thump thump—Roar~~ Hah~~ Zzzap~~ Aaaaaah~~ Thump thump thump thump thump—
Lively footsteps echoed in the Generator Room, interspersed with roars, the sound of electric shocks, and tremolos.
Yu Yuan watched the Swiftstrider, which had entered the cycle of running—roaring—getting shocked—moving away.
He nodded with satisfaction.
Although there was some noise and it wasn't too pleasant to the senses, it ultimately achieved the effect he had anticipated.
Especially when he looked at the Virtual Light Screen and saw the hourly power generation of this treadmill rapidly approaching its maximum value, the smile in his eyes grew even richer.
"Haha! I'm such a genius! Inspiration comes from life. This trick from the movies really works! With this top-tier beast of burden that never tires and doesn't need food or drink, why would I need to look for any blueprints for a recycling generator? This is the ultimate, genuine biological generator, zero consumption per hundred kilometers."
Yu Yuan's gaze shifted to the other several treadmills, his mind itching to try.
"Hmm, actually, the Swiftstrider's cries can be solved too. I remember seeing that drool ball in some educational material before; that was pretty good. Held in the mouth, it definitely can't make a sound. Hmm~ I should look for it...."
"This virus is really a good thing!"
