Chapter 1703: Chapter 1141: Back on the Road
After handing over the matters of Twilight City to Tianba, Duanmu Huai continued on his journey, once again conducting a study of the atmospheric environnt on this planet’s surface.
Fortunately, during this busy period, Sherry and the others were not idle either. Maria was carrying out Duanmu Huai’s tasks, while Sherry took the opportunity to analyze the collected samples. The conclusions she reached… were truly baffling.
“If I hadn’t collected the samples myself, I would have thought they were specins from so asteroid.”
When she handed the report to Duanmu Huai, Sherry looked incredibly incredulous.
“Just give the conclusion.”
Duanmu Huai couldn’t understand those reports that looked like heavenly scripts, so it was more appropriate to ask the person directly for the conclusion.
“To be honest, from the specins collected on the planet’s surface, there are indeed signs that life once existed on this planet’s surface.”
“Once existed, right?”
“Yes, the only thing I found here are so structures with microbial fossil characteristics, but virtually no currently living life forms… including bacteria, microorganisms, let alone plants and animals. It’s as if…”
Here, Sherry paused, seemingly pondering how to describe it.
“It’s as if the surface of this planet is already completely dead, like a dried-up fossil, with nothing but traces of the past remaining.”
“Then what about the toxic atmosphere?”
“I still have to find the pollution source, then conduct research and analysis to draw a conclusion, but… to be honest, I feel this is not within the realm of science.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right.”
Sherry nodded.
“At least, from the scientific domain as I understand it, the current situation of this planet is a little too strange, violating so normal laws and logic… Of course, at other tis, I might try to prove it using scientific thods. But now, I think it’s more appropriate to find an expert.”
At this mont, Sherry was even a bit discouraged. To be honest, working at the Tribunal indeed expanded her knowledge, and provided significant assistance in her studies. It even gave her a deeper understanding of biological research. However, in turn, Sherry also discovered that many things indeed cannot be explained by science.
Especially magic.
Can magic be explained? Of course, it can.
But can it be explained scientifically?
Well, her work experience at the Tribunal taught her———this is difficult.
Or very difficult, to say the least.
For example, Bambi.
Everyone in the Tribunal knows Bambi is a Vampire, and they know the little girl can actually live without drinking blood regularly. But these aren’t important to Sherry; what’s important is that she once wanted to understand one thing, and that is why Bambi can sleep for hundreds of years and wake up still lively and energetic?
In human cognition and films, Vampires are indeed immortal, but more rigorously, it is set that if a Vampire doesn’t drink blood for a long ti, no matter how handso or beautiful, they will also turn into skeletons of skin and bones. Only after absorbing fresh blood would they return to their handso or beautiful appearance.
This seems very magical, but actually, it can be explained scientifically, because matter is consud, so even Vampires will have consumption, and with consumption cos the need for replenishnt. Although absorbing fresh blood and turning from a mummified corpse back into a handso or beautiful person in a few seconds is very fantastical, at least it’s a process that science can explain, it’s just that you absorb very quickly.
But Bambi isn’t like that; when Duanmu Huai released her, little Bambi had slept for hundreds of years, and upon awakening, she seed just as though she’d just woken up from a nap, without feeling any depletion, and not thirsty enough to drink blood. It’s as if after Bambi fell asleep, the ti of her body paused, and only continued when Bambi awoke.
How could all this be achieved? Could it be that Bambi’s body has certain cells or genes that assist in long-term hibernation?
Curious about this, Sherry persuaded Bambi, then took so blood, collected strands of hair, and skin fragnts for research, with results that left her stunned———although there were so mutations in the genes, upon closer investigation, these mutations seed to have nothing to do with Bambi’s ability to sleep for hundreds of years without change. Excluding these mutant gene structures, the rest appeared almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans.
How is this possible?
This isn’t scientific?
Sherry was puzzled by this, and after seeking Bambi twice more———after the second ti, Bambi refused to let her draw blood, claiming Sherry was even more of a Vampire than a real Vampire, fleeing at the sight of Sherry…
There are many similar experiences, and eventually, Sherry resigned herself, lying flat, accepting her fate, that so things are indeed inexplicable by science and should be left to magic to handle. Although from a scientific perspective, sotis those magical theories seem like nothing more than a witch’s nonsense to Sherry, like astrology; how could a reasonable astronor believe in such nonsense? Even though listening to the fortune teller, it seems very rational and interconnected, but think carefully, why would the trajectories of planets millions of light-years away dictate the fate of every living thing on Earth?
Is there any connection between them?
