Before starting the genetic engineering surgery, Li Lin first had to determine the characteristics of Kasha’s living skin.
It just so happened that a piece of carapace they had cut for research in the academy was tightly sealed in the laboratory.
Because he had been busy building Gaborga before, and the material formed by the corrupted reality of the void was too complex, not even Heimerdinger could do anything to Kaisha’s living skin.
Apart from some data, there has been little progress.
Li Lin told Heimerdinger on the phone that he should leave some samples for the college and have mechanical engineers and storm robots escort them to transport the remaining living carapace back.
During this period, he asked Kasha and Caitlin to wait for a moment while he quickly browsed the research information left by Heimerdinger in the Intelligent Brain database.
He was surprised to find that the void actually came to the real world and corrupted the creatures in the material realm, turning them into void monsters.
But they actually still have their own DNA sequence, but it’s completely twisted and reversed, and covered in void energy.
If you want a void creature to return to normal, you need to do more than just resequence its DNA. You must first remove the influence of void energy from its body.
Not only that, the void brings not only erosion and corruption of the physical body, but also distortion of the spirit and soul.
Even if Li Lin can really repair the bodies of creatures infected by the void, they will never be able to return to their original appearance.
But this is not a problem for Kai’Sa in special circumstances.
Since she has a symbiotic relationship with the living skin on her body, all her abilities are brought about by this layer of skin, and there is no factor in her being corroded.
In this way, her problem will be better solved. She only needs to use genetic engineering and some special methods to first purify this part of the void energy, then transfer this part of the purified energy to Kasha’s body, and finally reverse the DNA of the skin. sequence, to separate it from Kai’Sa.
Of course, although the theory is very complete, Li Lin dare not directly use Kai’Sa to verify his ideas.
After the mechanical engineer safely delivered part of Kasha’s original living skin, Li Lin cut off a small piece and made it swallow a white mouse specially used for experiments, and provided sufficient compressed nutrient solution.
Just like when faced with the first generation of alchemy technology transformed humans who drank the shimmering potion, the mice mutated rapidly under the influence of the void.
Its pupils turned into an evil purple light, and its entire figure swelled to the size of a hound. It was wrapped in purple smoke that almost condensed into substance. The sharp teeth and claws covered by the void carapace emitted a cold light. It pierced the special thickened explosion-proof glass very easily.
“Oh my God! Li Lin, think of a way to stop it quickly!”
Because there was no gun at hand, and there were no wrenches, hammers or other equipment in the biological laboratory, Caitlin didn’t know what to do and could only call to Li Lin.
As soon as Kasa thought, the folded cheek pouches on her shoulders unfolded in less than a second, and her face was covered by the void helmet extending from her neck. The energy supply grooves on her wrists projected energy-emitting crystals, and she stared warily at the man who was eager to escape. Void guinea pig.
Li Lin helplessly glanced back at the nervous Caitlin and Kasha, “Don’t worry, everything is under my control.”
Although the combat power of the newly born void rat was slightly beyond his expectation, without backup plans and precautions, how could he dare to conduct such a void experiment underground in Gila Mann Manor?
The next second, the Void Rat was about to break the explosion-proof glass and escape.
Under the control of the Intelligent Brain, a continuous flow of colorless and odorless gas was injected into the top device of the explosion-proof chamber. The purple light in the void mouse’s eyes full of killing desire became much lighter, and even its attacks became much slower.
This sleeping potion was specially prepared by Li Lin based on biotechnology. It is a liquid and only takes 10 ml to bring down a mammoth.
After turning into a gas, the efficacy of this medicine will be weakened a lot, but this white mouse infected by the void was able to persist for more than a minute before falling asleep completely, which is enough to illustrate the effect of the void on the physiological structure of living things. The transformation and the image are huge.
Li Lin controlled the robotic arm to open the shattered explosion-proof glass chamber, took out the sleeping void mouse, and fixed it on the workbench using a lock made of compressed material.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Caitlin came closer with lingering fear, followed by Kaisha who unfolded her helmet, put away the energy-emitting crystal and cheek pouches, and returned to her normal posture.
“Is the power of the void so strong…” Caitlin whispered.
She couldn’t even imagine that the little white mouse, which was originally only about 10 centimeters, could grow to the size of the most popular hairless hound among the Piltover families.
“This is nothing. You have never seen Exe from Shurima’s Sea of Bones and their leader Rek’Sai. They are existences that are difficult for even the gods to deal with.”
Caitlin heard Li Lin talk about his related experiences, but as a child who grew up in Piltover, she had basically never left this city-state.
She has never been in contact with void monsters, nor has she seen the strength of the gods warriors with her own eyes. She can only guess based on Li Lin’s description.
Now that she has seen a mouse that can grow to such an extent with only a small piece of void carapace, she realizes the seriousness of the void problem.
“Icacia…are there such monsters everywhere?”
This kind of void rat is not even comparable to a void spirit insect, and the void monsters in Icathia are much stronger than this kind.
Li Lin couldn’t help but think of Vel’Koz, the “Eye of the Void”, in his mind.
The “Eye of the Void” is a race of voids created by monitors who penetrated the material realm. Among them, Vel’Koz is the oldest, most intelligent, and possibly the most powerful being among them.
Their bodies are as tall as clouds, and some are even much larger than the god-like postures of the god warriors.
Generally speaking, the larger the void creature, the stronger it is.
In Icacia, according to Malphite, this kind of disaster beast that is over a hundred meters in size can be seen everywhere…
Li Lin didn’t want Caitlin to worry too much about the void problem. This was not the pressure she should bear at the moment.
He stared at Caitlin’s worried blue eyes through the protective transparent mask and comforted: “Don’t worry, the Ascension Empire has re-emerged in the desert. With the protection of the gods’ warriors, the void is not a threat to us. “
Hearing this, Kasha’s purple pupils flashed with strange light, and she looked up at Li Lin and Caitlin, but she didn’t say anything.
“Yeah……”
Caitlin pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Lin with a complicated look.
She also knew that this was the wording Li Lin didn’t want to worry about.
After all, according to classic records, Shurima had thousands of celestial warriors in its heyday, and could even easily conquer the entire world.
And it was such an ascended empire that suffered a visible decline in the following hundreds of years due to the Void War in Icacia.
Although the demise of the Shurima Empire was not directly affected by the Void, it would not have been possible without the Void.
She shook her head, not wanting to continue on this topic: “Let’s deal with this little white mouse first, lest it wakes up again later.”
Immediately afterwards, before Li Lin could take action, Kasha pulled his arm and said doubtfully: “Li Lin, I can feel that there is an inexplicable feeling between it and me… It’s like it and me. It’s like there’s a connection.”
“This is normal. Void creatures are hive minds and are connected to each other. And the void sample used on the mice was cut from you. It is normal for you to feel this way.”
“Then if you experiment on it, will Kaisha be affected?” Caitlin asked with a slight frown.
“Don’t worry, although there is a connection between void creatures, harm to one void creature will not affect other void creatures.”
Li Lin smiled and said, “Otherwise, if we kill one void creature, wouldn’t it be like dominoes, killing other void creatures as well?”
Kasha also explained to her: “It’s okay, sister Caitlin, I just vaguely feel a connection with this little white mouse, but that’s all.”
Caitlin nodded, “That’s fine.”
Later, in order not to disturb Li Lin, Caitlin sat far away from Kaisha and waited, talking about the Shurima Empire and the legend of the void.
About an hour later, their attention was immediately drawn to Li Lin’s excited exclamation.
“Success!”
Caitlin and Kasha immediately trotted to his side and looked at the workbench, feeling shocked in their hearts.
It was seen that the void rat, which was originally the size of a hound and covered in void scales, had now returned to the size of 10 centimeters, and its appearance was almost the same as before.
Moreover, looking at its gently squirming abdomen, combined with the vital sign scanning and monitoring device next to it, it can be seen that the mouse’s vital signs are very stable.
Kasha’s eyes widened and she clenched her fists excitedly.
Even Caitlin on the side was smiling, happy that she could now solve the problem that had been worrying her.
Li Lin casually controlled the robotic arm, threw the void carapace peeled off from the mouse into the waste disposal device, and then asked the brain to inject the “gene withering agent” into it.
Then, he walked to the operating table next to him, patted it twice, and turned to Kasha, “Are you ready?”
She took a few deep breaths to calm down her nervousness, and then responded with a smile: “I think so.”
Under Li Lin’s guidance, Kasha lay flat on the operating table, and Caitlin beside her gently held her slightly trembling hand.
“Don’t be nervous, Li Lin and I will be by your side to accompany you.”
“Hmm~~Thank you, sister Caitlin.”
At this time, Li Lin walked to the operating table with an injection filled with nanorobots. “Okay Kate, please wait aside. I will need about two hours.”
Caitlin nodded, gave Kasha a final “come on” look, and then walked back to where she was just sitting.
Li Lin was the only one left beside the operating table. “The injection process may be a little painful, please bear with it.”
