Chapter 139: Chapter 116: Chip Loading

’Objectively speaking, the force generated by the collision of fields acts equally on both parties.’

’But one party is Extraordinary Metal, and the other is a living cell. As the conflict continues, the cell will inevitably be the first to succumb to the reactive force and die.’

’However, a living organism’s survival instinct will compel it to draw upon its own Spirituality and join the conflict.’

’Initially, this naturally results in massive cell death. But over time, out of billions of cells, a lucky one will eventually emerge. Aided by Spirituality, it will succeed in the Assimilation of the Extraordinary Metal’s Matter Field.’

’It may only assimilate a single atom, but that is the first glimmer of victory.’

’Once there’s a blueprint for success, and facing a life-or-death crisis, the organism will instinctively replicate it.’

’Therefore, as time goes on, as long as the Red Falcon King doesn’t die, it is certain to complete the Assimilation of the chip’s Matter Field.’

’But in this process, the massive cell death not only endangers the Red Falcon King’s life, but also consumes a tremendous amount of biological energy.’

’Luckily, my healing touch has pulled the Red Falcon King back from the brink of death countless times. As for the energy drain, it just needed to eat more Soldier’s Rations Pills to recover.’

’If things could have simply continued that way, my experiment would have surely been a success.’

’But I overlooked that cells are ultimately flesh and blood; they get tired, they grow weary.’

’The conflict erupting between the fields is equivalent to the cells being under attack every single moment.’

’Life may be resilient, but if the battle never ends, eventually something has to give.’

’The Red Falcon King’s Assimilation rate was still too slow. According to my calculations, unless my technology improved tenfold, it was impossible for it to complete the Assimilation before its cells reached their limit.’

’So even though Xiaohong looks to be in good shape right now, as long as I don’t give up on installing the chip, its death is a certainty.’

’And there was no way my own technical abilities could make a great leap forward in such a short amount of time.’

This had been Chen Qi’s most vexing hurdle. For a moment, he had almost decided to abandon the chip fusion project—after all, Xiaohong was rather cute.

But ultimately, he had thought of a solution.

...

’Fortunately, Heaven never bars a bird’s path. Thank you, Comir Corporation.’

’The Longevity Hormone they invented is truly Xiaohong’s salvation.’

Chen Qi injected a shot of Longevity Hormone, and the Red Falcon King’s cells, which had already reached their fatigue limit, were instantly brimming with vitality.

This was especially true for the cell membranes. In direct contact with the active metal, they would rupture upon reaching their fatigue limit, leading directly to cell death.

But now, they were practically glowing.

Since both sides were already on the verge of a stalemate, one side’s sudden morale boost and full recovery naturally reversed the situation.

The Red Falcon King’s Assimilation of the chip broke through the critical threshold in one fell swoop, achieving a decisive victory.

According to Chen Qi’s calculations, the plan for the next ten hours was simple: inject the Red Falcon King with Longevity Hormone every two hours.

If he did that, then after ten hours, a Red Falcon King fused with the chip would be born.

Of course, this only completed the hardware installation.

In fact, the chip being installed in Xiaohong was a replica Chen Qi had created using the Source Ore’s abilities.

Extraordinary Metal was essentially a type of active metal, so Chen Qi certainly wasn’t lacking for raw materials.

The reason he was using a replica was that the Blood-colored Chip was also contaminated with things like resentment and other miscellaneous junk.

Fusing with the Extraordinary Metal alone was already so difficult; Chen Qi wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could get it all done in one step.

Once the hardware fusion was complete, software installation was Chen Qi’s specialty.

And so, amid Chen Qi’s eager anticipation, ten hours passed in a flash.
