[Warning: The current simulation has reached the host's mental consciousness capacity limit. Continuing the simulation will lead to consciousness confusion.]
[The system temporarily ends the simulation scene. Congratulations, the host has gained physical enhancement.]
[Detected an increase in the Herrscher of Wind's favorability towards the host. The system adds a reward: Honkai Energy eligibility enhancement.]
[According to the system's calculations of your consciousness capacity, the next optimal simulation time is in 10 hours.]
Chen Ran began to regain his senses.
The system's cold voice reminded him that the memories of the simulation scene were all false.
Including the skydiving, the campfire, and the kiss.
He took a deep breath, feeling the growing strength in his body, and instinctively surveyed his surroundings.
Chen Ran's brain began to synchronize with the memories of 666.
When Chen Ran entered the simulation scene, 666 was also busy.
With Durandal's help, MEI and 666 were conducting a simulated experiment regarding the Divine Authority Project.
In MEI's initial concept, since the Honkai Energy concentration of the Herrscher Core was very high, they would use Soulium to lower its Honkai Energy concentration and then establish a connection between humans and Soulium. This was essentially the theoretical prototype of the Divine Key.
However, Chen Ran did not support this plan.
MEI did not refute Chen Ran's opinion; after all, she had all the data now and could set up her own research. As for the Divine Authority Project, it could be considered as cooperating with Chen Ran (666) in progress.
Initially, it was thought that the Divine Authority Project was an impossible plan.
Whether it was calculating the human body's threshold for withstanding Honkai Energy or assuming that a person could endure Honkai corruption but would experience rejection reactions, these were not problems that could be solved under the current computer module.
The Herrschers that humanity was dealing with did not exhibit so-called emotions, so people of this era had yet to realize that Honkai was actually influenced by consciousness.
But Chen Ran knew this.
Correspondingly, 666 also knew.
Thus, 666 began to have Durandal input an emotional module, constructing a function that related emotions to Honkai Energy eligibility.
Then, both 666 and MEI made different discoveries.
Honkai Energy eligibility was surprisingly closely related to consciousness.
…
…
Fire Moth, First Research Institute.
MEI constructed multi-dimensional modules and functions based on the module built by Durandal.
She hadn't expected the influence of consciousness on Honkai Energy eligibility to be so significant.
No, not just her; even the entire Fire Moth hadn't considered this aspect.
In Fire Moth's research literature, Honkai Energy eligibility was supposed to be like antibodies in the human body, a substance that appears from birth.
This was a physiological substance, and the people of Fire Moth instinctively believed that it had little to do with the influence of consciousness.
But reality proved that the interrelation between Honkai Energy eligibility and consciousness was profound.
MEI understood what this meant.
It meant that humanity's research on Honkai needed to be based not only on observations in four-dimensional space but also required the establishment of another dimension: the dimension of consciousness.
She felt a bit regretful.
Because this was not her area of expertise.
For this, she had to consult a strong figure in this field: Mobius.
And regarding MEI and Chen Ran's research observations, Mobius rarely showed interest.
She had been pursuing biological evolution but had not participated in MEI and Chen Ran's joint research. Instead, she began to provide necessary data sample support, allowing them to work independently.
One could say Mobius was mentoring her juniors.
But according to Blanca, it was more likely that Mobius herself found it troublesome.
Regardless, with Mobius's support, MEI could effectively mobilize the resources of the First Research Institute, and the corresponding materials and data would not be held back.
This meant that the stage for MEI to showcase her talents had also been set.
MEI's knowledge in biology was relatively weak, but coincidentally, 666, who absorbed system knowledge, specialized in biology. The two collaborated well in this area.
Moreover, with Durandal's excellent computing ability, the seemingly impossible Divine Authority Project had a feasible foundation with slight theoretical adjustments.
Chen Ran, who had synchronized memories, couldn't help but feel emotional.
One could only say that geniuses truly deserved their title.
When he first entered Fire Moth, he was curious why MEI could become a high-ranking member of Fire Moth after three years.
After all, at that time, although MEI showed talent, she wasn't considered high-ranking.
But now it seemed that MEI, like Durandal, had a very strong learning ability.
He even began to suspect that Durandal's learning module had been secretly taken by MEI for her own use.
One could only say that one should not use a mortal's thinking to contemplate the realm of geniuses.
However, this was a good thing.
At least for now, it was.
…
…
"Based on rational calculations, it can be concluded that normal humans cannot fuse with the Herrscher Core."
At this moment, MEI and Chen Ran were communicating.
"According to the function relationship, the Honkai Energy eligibility required to fuse with the Herrscher Core is very high. Theoretically, the human body does not have sufficient Honkai Energy eligibility."
Chen Ran blinked and said, "But in reality, it can break through this theory, right?"
"Exactly."
MEI replied, "Under various function relationship modules, thought and consciousness have a significant impact on Honkai Energy eligibility. If we could implant a special thought into the human body…"
Chen Ran blurted out, "Stigmata?"
"Hmm? I haven't thought of a name yet, but using this Christian term is quite fitting." She paused and said, "Let's temporarily call it Stigmata."
"By relying on the implantation of Stigmata into the human body, forming a consciousness network to resist Honkai, it would indeed allow the human body to produce sufficient Honkai Energy antibodies. This aspect is Dr. Mobius's area of expertise."
Chen Ran pondered.
So the result was already clear.
To make the Divine Authority Project successful, it was necessary to stimulate the power of Stigmata.
Chen Ran knew that Wendy's body contained Stigmata, which was also the reason she was chosen as the experimental subject.
In that case, what he needed to do was simple: assist Wendy in unleashing the full power of Stigmata, thereby accommodating and controlling the Herrscher Core.
Meanwhile, MEI organized this conclusion into a report and submitted it to Mobius.
At this time, she still didn't have enough resources for more in-depth research, but she had yet to realize how this research would impact the entire world.
It might even lay the Kindling for the next era.
"MEI, can I borrow Durandal for a bit longer?"
Chen Ran made a request to MEI.
MEI was slightly taken aback and said, "Sure."
During this time, her collaboration with Chen Ran (666) had been quite good. Most importantly, because of Chen Ran, she had quickly and comprehensively understood the field known as Honkai, opening a new door of knowledge.
So borrowing Durandal wasn't a problem.
"Thank you, I'll try not to wear it out."
MEI: "…"
