He can speak human language.
Ryan's resentment subsided a little. Mobius' experiment was very complicated because Honkai energy was highly radioactive and could hardly be stored before Soul Steel was developed. The remnants of Honkai beast corpses would decay quickly.
Therefore, Ryan, who is able to gather this energy, is extremely important, and the control that is accurate to the millimeter is even more critical, because there is no living material, only such a small specimen, and a slightly larger energy will directly destroy it.
"No wonder you didn't ask Alicia for help. She doesn't understand the theory, and even the equipment would be damaged if she leaked it a little."
"That woman has no patience at all, and she talks too much, which affects my concentration." Mobius wrinkled his nose and said slowly, "So you can just be my assistant. Fighting and killing is so boring. Every breakthrough we make is even more valuable than defeating a Herrscher."
"Don't give me that. I was originally just a bodyguard, but you dragged me into the research for no apparent reason. Also, I need overtime pay."
"Talking about money is so vulgar. We are all fighting for the future of mankind. Don't you have this awareness?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I bought all those instant noodles. I took out a loan to work, right?" Ryan took a deep breath and found that things were getting more and more wrong.
Mebius was always short of funds, and all of his annual salary of several million euros was spent on research, leaving no money even for instant noodles.
A workaholic, he does his own thing, sometimes he is weird, sometimes he is mature and elegant, sometimes he is extremely cold and indifferent, making him hard to understand. However, his obsession with his ideals is like a shining star.
After a month of torment, Ryan got to know this woman better and better. Unintentionally, his guard dropped a little and his expression became more serious.
"Your experiment has just begun. Things will be more troublesome in the future. It is very difficult to combine the Honkai beast with human flesh and blood and let people maintain their rational state to exert the abilities of Honkai beasts."
"At least I know this path is feasible. It's nothing more than hundreds of thousands of repeated experiments. I will definitely find a method, and then continue to improve it." Talking about business, Mebius was very serious and turned around lightly. "If it is confirmed to be effective, I will be the first test subject."
"You are indeed a madman."
"To explore the unknown, how can you do it without some persistence? So, are you really not considering continuing to help me?"
Mebius leaned lazily against the wall, her black stockings, tight skirt, and fair skin in the middle, coupled with the slight panting after fatigue, together formed an alluring picture.
Ryan's breathing became heavy at first instinctively, then calmed down because of reason. He didn't know whether Mebius did it on purpose, and he didn't think too deeply about it.
He simply answered seriously: "Strength is the key to surviving in this world. No matter how great a scientist is, it is meaningless if he is physically destroyed."
"But if this research is successful, it will also bring great power, or it can be said that knowledge is combat power."
"Too slow. You should know that the third Herrscher will soon arrive, and the rest will follow. The best way to deal with them is indeed to study them, but—" Ryan raised his hand and clenched his fist, his tone firm, "Someone has to deal with them, and I happen to be able to do it."
Mebius' eyes were a little dazed, and she felt a huge sense of dislocation. The wisdom and knowledge of the man in front of her had been affirmed by her in the past few days, and she even developed a tacit understanding with him, but now she saw another side of him.
A strong smell of blood and a pile of corpses consisting of Honkai beasts and humans. This smell usually only appears on those brainless and reckless people, the kind of people she hates the most.
"You are really fragrant and smelly, Ryan." Mebius yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I didn't expect that a warrior and a scholar, two completely different things, could exist in one person. I am also confused. What do you want?"
"So what do you want, Mebius."
"What I want is very simple." The extremely sleepy girl shook her head, raised her hand and clenched it. Although she was murmuring, she burst out with endless ambition.
"With my hands... you will ascend to godhood!"
Ryan's pupils shrank slightly. He actually wanted to create a god. Under that complicated appearance was buried the purest persistence, but he couldn't mock it. He felt that this was Mebius.
At this moment, he took a step forward. This was the first time he took the initiative to move closer to Mebius since he met him. Then he instinctively hugged the girl who rushed forward, as if he had forgotten to be on guard against this man's conspiracy.
A soft body was embraced in his arms, and he realized that Mebius was quite plump, with a thin waist and soft body. The huge breasts even made him feel a little suffocated, and the warm breath from her mouth hit his face, making him feel a little itchy.
No wonder Blanca said that after each experiment, Mebius would lie on the cold floor, which was like draining away his last bit of energy.
Ryan didn't have too many thoughts, nor was he at a loss like a waste. His hands moved down from the waist, across the raised buttocks, feeling the delicate touch of the stockings, until they reached the bend of the legs. He just picked up Mebius horizontally, paused for a moment, and put his head towards the beautiful face.
"Mebius, do you know what I want?"
"Hmm?" The girl murmured as if she was half asleep or half awake.
Ryan didn't answer immediately. He just picked her up and left the laboratory. He walked towards the rest area under the stunned gaze of a group of people, and then opened the door of Mebius' room.
He laid the girl on the bed piled with books, watched her quickly curl up into a ball, covered herself with the quilt, and patted Mebius' round shoulder.
“I hope that my journey will eventually lead me to the stars.”
Chapter 28 I Know a Little About Everything
Mebius' research has finally come to an end. What remains is to classify and sort tens of thousands of data. If he wants to go deeper, he has to work hard on the imaginary space.
As it happens, Mei is an expert in this area.
So Ryan refused because, firstly, it would not be very useful, no one had better theoretical knowledge than May. Secondly, he was completely different from Mebius and preferred to combine work and rest.
This can inspire more inspiration and prevent one from being too focused and becoming obsessed. There is nothing wrong with craving for power and knowledge, but if one only has eyes for these two things, it is easy for that person to get into trouble.
"No wonder Mebius can't recruit many assistants. This level of work is too much for a human to handle."
Ryan walked in the corridor, doing chest expansion exercises. Even he had to sleep for a whole day before he came to his senses. Then he noticed the strange looks from the people around him.
There is jealousy, but more of it is admiration, like watching a warrior returning triumphantly.
Since he was affiliated with the research department, there was little communication between them. These researchers who stayed underground all day long did not know him and thought Ryan was a student who had just graduated from some university.
As soon as I graduated, I was assigned to be Dr. Mobius' assistant. This is cheating on my mentor. Without deep hatred, such an arrangement would not be made. So everyone sympathized with me at first, until yesterday...
They saw a miracle. The Mebius who disdained to interact with others was actually dealt with by a newcomer. It was simply unbelievable.
After all, Mebius was very beautiful, and there was no shortage of suitors in the institute at first. They thought that this guy was just a little cold, and as long as they licked him diligently enough, there would definitely be a chance.
However, Mebius had no interest in contacting people he disliked, and anyone who dared to get involved with him would be treated badly. Many people even suffered psychological trauma and chose to be of the same sex.
How could such a hellish woman be dealt with? So both men and women were observing Ryan.
He has a delicate appearance and a decent figure, and looks like a gentle scholar. But aren't there people like him everywhere in the research institute?
baffling.
Ryan ordered a staff meal and ate it while feeling the gazes from all around him.
As a soldier, his perception was too sharp. He could see several female researchers whispering with their hands covering their mouths, and he could also hear the gossip of some people behind him.
"Dr. Ryan is so amazing. He actually managed to deal with that Dr. Mebius."
"Maybe just send her back to her room to rest?"
"How is that possible? Do you believe this?"
There was a pause until a cold and serious voice sounded.
"But this is the truth. It's just that there was something wrong with that Dr. Ryan. He came out within five minutes and ten seconds of entering the room."
The spoon was directly squeezed into an iron ball.
Ryan turned his head and looked at the person who was speaking. This guy came to help half a month ago. He seemed to be Senye, a second-level researcher in the High Energy Physics Department. He seemed to be a very serious person in his memory, but he didn't expect him to be so gossipy.
Surrounded by murderous aura, Sene shrank his neck and looked around. Seeing Ryan smiling kindly at him, he quickly lowered his head to eat.
I have some insight. I don't think Mobius is deliberately making trouble for me. No one knows what she is thinking.
Ryan became suspicious. He was honest in his actions, but he was always unhappy when gossiped about. He was not used to being secretly spied on. Just as he was about to go back to his room, a familiar figure sat down opposite him.
Mei still had a cold expression. There were only a few pieces of sushi and a bowl of miso soup on her plate. She didn't eat and just stared at Ryan.
"For two whole years, I didn't even notice it."
"What did you find?"
"You have such a unique taste. No wonder you ignored all the love letters you received. It turns out you like people like Mebius. How should I put it..." Mei brushed her bangs and smiled, "You are really brave."
Ryan's eyes twitched wildly, and when he saw the teasing in May's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't tease me, I'm just showing the qualities that a gentleman should have."
The girl stroked the rim of the cup and said calmly, "That's not the case. I just wanted to get revenge. Kevin and I have been teased by you for a long time. Oh, Kevin must be happier than me. He once suspected that there was something wrong with you and Su, and he has always been worried about himself."
Well, you woman are really black when you cut open.
Ryan gritted his teeth. Mei sold herself out immediately. And what about Kevin? Did he really think I was gay?
The resentment accumulated in his heart, making him hate it so much, but considering that the girl in front of him was more difficult to deal with than Mobius, he could only take a deep breath.
"Let's get down to business. How are you doing now?"
"I've read all the research materials of the Fire Moth. I have a new hypothesis about the imaginary space. With their resources, maybe I can tear open the cracks and observe the nature of the imaginary world with my own eyes." Mei put away her smile and pointed at the researchers in the cafeteria with her chopsticks. "At least they have two doctoral degrees. I didn't expect that there is an organization that can bring together so many talents."
"Fire Moth gave me the authority to establish a research team. I will select some people from around the world to complete theoretical calculations first, and then conduct observational experiments."
Ryan nodded. He certainly believed in May's ability. Moreover, unlike Mebius, May could truly serve as the director of research and promote several projects at the same time.
"It sounds like they think highly of you."
"Studying the nature of imaginary numbers is beneficial to everyone. Only by understanding the theory first can we promote the entire human civilization." Mei adjusted her glasses, with an idealistic light in her eyes. "For science, the collapse is a disaster and a blessing."
Putting aside the Herrscher and monsters, it is essentially a kind of energy, an energy that can crush all current technologies. For example, the hypothetical Honkai energy adaptive core can achieve the effect of nuclear fusion.
"It's a pity that I can't help you. We are racing against time. No one can predict whether civilization will progress first or humans will be crushed by the collapse first." Ryan said cautiously. The collapse is the least afraid of time travelers.
"I understand, so I will focus on application and use Honkai to fight Honkai as soon as possible." Mei picked up the rice ball and took a bite, then lowered her voice: "The research equipment here is not enough. I will be going to Mu Continent soon, and I will also visit the headquarters of the Fire Moth."
"Don't think too much. A pure researcher like you is the most trustworthy. Look at Mobius's self-willed personality. He didn't do anything to her, but treated her like a treasure."
"I'm indeed not in danger, but Kevin is in big trouble. He has already gone through his first actual combat and is not in a good mood. You know I'm not good at comforting others." Mei raised her head slightly, and the meaning in her eyes was obvious.
You weird couple, can't you give us some peace of mind?
Ryan covered his forehead and said, "You say they are a couple, but their relationship is very ordinary. They have been holding hands for several years. You say they have no love, but they always care about each other."
But in comparison, Kevin is more proactive and dares to risk his life to join the Fire Moth for Mei.
"Will he go to Mu Continent with you?"
"I don't know, but I will try my best. I always feel that Kevin will change very quickly without me, but I don't have this authority until I gain trust."
"So you want me to keep an eye on him?"
"Well, Kevin doesn't actually have many friends. Sometimes he thinks too little, and sometimes he thinks too much. I know that's not fair to you."
The two looked at each other, and no one spoke. According to Ryan's personality, he would rather enjoy the last quiet time, but what can he say, some things are more important.
"Okay, but you have to get rid of Mobius as well. This woman wants me to help her get data. She's addicted to freeloading."
"This is not easy, I will try my best."
"Deal, psychological counseling is what I'm best at."
Ryan stood up quickly. He still had to improve his strength, so he didn't have the time to compete with Mebius. After saying that, he dropped the plate and left.
The elevator quickly went to the ground. When the door opened, Ryan saw the sunlight and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been underground for a whole month, busy in the laboratory every day.
"If I stay with Mobius for too long, I'll become a psychopath. I'm so moved by the sun."
