Wandering Meteor-Chapter 226 - 225: The Nemesis of Earth Core People

The reason why Earth Core People are said to be akin to celestial life forms is because the material composition of the Earth Core People is similar to that of planets, especially since their bodies resemble cooled magma after death.

The reason why Earth Core People are said to be biological life is that scientists have learned through research that the way Earth Core People’s bodies function relies on biological currents, just as ordinary biological life does.

But to thoroughly unravel the body structure of Earth Core People, we must start from the beginning.

Initially, after bringing back the corpses of Earth Core People for research, the scientists responsible for the project found themselves in a quandary.

Once, a scientist accidentally shot a high-temperature laser at the molecular cells of an Earth Core Person while studying them, only to discover, to his astonishment, that the molecular cells slowly transformed from dead cells to active cells after absorbing the high-temperature energy.

This serendipitous discovery gave the scientific research team a new direction to pursue.

The scientists immediately began a slow laser heating process on a relatively intact corpse of an Earth Core Person, and then they witnessed, in shock and clarity, the life state of an Earth Core Person before death.

As the corpse absorbed enough heat, its originally gray-white solid-state body gradually transformed into a red fluid structure. However, what was magical was that this red "magma" that absorbed thermal energy did not dissipate; instead, it flowed orderly within the Earth Core Person’s body, almost resembling a radiant piece of glass art.

At this point, the scientists realized that Earth Core People have a very special life form, generally speaking, in two states.

That is, they’re in a high-energy fluid state before death and turn into a low-energy cooled solid state after death due to the loss of thermal energy, which is quite miraculous and different from Earth People, who do not change much before and after death.

This also explains why the Earth Core Civilization is not afraid of the threat from Parasitic Civilizations; it turns out that because of Earth Core People’s special body structure, with normal temperatures between one thousand and two thousand degrees, such an environment is simply not habitable for Parasitic Civilizations, fearing that they would be scalded to death upon mere contact with an Earth Core Person.

It is also precisely because Earth Core People possess these two special states that scientists refer to them as akin to celestial life forms.

Based on these pieces of evidence, scientists speculate that Earth Core People likely did not evolve on the surface like humanity, but instead evolved close to the core, in the low-temperature area (between one thousand and two thousand degrees); this is probably the main reason for the name Earth Core Civilization, implying a civilization born from the core.

When this speculation was proposed, the scientists even made an amusing joke.

One day, an Earth Core Person got sick and went to see a doctor. The doctor took their temperature and found it to be three thousand degrees, and then told the Earth Core Person, "You have a fever, you need to take some medicine."

Of course, this was just a joke. Scientists do not understand the internal situation of the Earth Core Civilization; let’s get back to the main topic.

Originally, scientists thought an Earth Core Person had been resurrected after applying heat to the body, causing the cells to become active. However, after a thorough examination, it was found that although the body cells had all become active, there was no formation of brain consciousness.

This somewhat resembles humans after death; the brain consciousness is gone, but body cells can remain alive for a certain period.

Although it may be different due to differences in life forms, some of the principles should be similar.

Scientists speculate that the reason why the corpses of Earth Core People could restore cellular activity after being dead for so long and heating is related to their evolutionary environment. Because they are in a high-temperature fluid state at the core, even after death, the body remains in a high-temperature fluid state.

This to some extent indicates that Earth Core People evolved from the core.

Based on this information, scientists have speculated on some of the life characteristics of Earth Core People.

Although Earth Core People evolved near the core, with body temperatures reaching one to two thousand degrees, it does not mean they can withstand infinitely high temperatures; there should be a reasonable range of survivable temperatures. According to the evolutionary environment of Earth Core People, it can be speculated that they are extremely sensitive to cold.

This is not to say that Earth Core People are not afraid of heat; they are just more sensitive to cold.

In addition, based on the two states of Earth Core People, scientists also speculate that Earth Core People should possess a brain structure similar to that of biological organisms. Only when the brain is alive is one truly alive.

Later research confirmed these speculations one by one.

Starting with the body temperature range of Earth Core People, scientists attempted to experimentally discover the temperature limits of Earth Core People by continuously heating a corpse.

The scientists found that when body temperature reached three thousand five hundred degrees, there was significant damage to the cells of Earth Core People, but since temperature on a microscopic level manifests as vibration, the actual damage was that some cellular molecular structures began to disintegrate; and when body temperature reached four thousand five hundred degrees, the cells of Earth Core People would completely break down, the body’s fluids would burst out, and the regular pattern would turn irregular.

This should be the temperature limit of Earth Core People.

Once this temperature is reached, Earth Core People will also die.

When scientists continued to heat and the body temperature approached ten thousand degrees, many elements in the cells of Earth Core People had vaporized.

In addition, scientists conducted low-temperature experiments, which proved that Earth Core People are extremely sensitive to cold; when body temperature drops below one thousand degrees, the body starts to cool into a solid state, and when it drops below nine hundred degrees, eighty percent of the organs cool into a solid state and the whole organism completely dies.

The upper limit of Earth Core People’s body temperature is around four thousand five hundred degrees, but the lower limit is only nine hundred degrees. Given the normal range of one to two thousand degrees, it can be said that cold is the bane of Earth Core People. The large range of Earth Core People’s body temperature is due to their body size growing with slightly increasing temperature.

However, if compared to humans, Earth Core People are already very powerful.

At least they can withstand an additional two thousand degrees upward and about a hundred degrees downward, whereas humans can experience life-threatening conditions with only a five- to six-degree difference. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

At the same time.

Several other scientists were dissecting the brain structure of an Earth Core Person, attempting to unlock the mysteries of their brain.

However, since the cells of an Earth Core Person are only active within one to two thousand degrees, to study their brain, scientists had to maintain the corpse’s temperature within that range and replace many materials with high-temperature ones, enabling them to successfully dissect the brain of an Earth Core Person.

Of course, all of this research was made possible with the help of robots; otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete just by humans alone.

After dissecting the brain of an Earth Core Person while keeping it in an active state, the scientists indeed discovered that the working method of the brain of Earth Core People is very similar to that of humans, only that the biological current energy inside their body is at a much higher energy level.
