Chapter 123: Body Recovery

With the nutrition of his body replenished to the best and fullest extent, the redevelopment process of Lin Lei’s brain was also greatly accelerated.

A month later, the cerebral cortex was close to mature. At this time, Lin Lei’s Will Body was already able to start merging thoroughly with it.

This process required the help of Earth’s Will Body to completely hide the abnormal Will Fluctuations emitted during the fusion process.

The Watcher Civilization had installed a monitor on every legal citizen in the Galaxy, which were the nanobots used to regulate the body.

These nanobots only served a surveillance function; they were very sensitive to the Will Fluctuations of the Host body. As long as any abnormality appeared, they would send an alert message to the Star Alliance.

At this time, Lin Lei had already expelled the nanobots from the brain domain through the blood-brain barrier. Earth’s Will Body had also constructed a layer of Will protection in the brain domain of this body, which could stop any Will Fluctuations from spreading outward.

Of course, there were still abnormal fluctuations of Will, but this abnormality came from Earth’s Will Body. Even if the nanobots sent this information back, the Star Alliance would only think that this Lin Lei was just a person favored by the planet’s consciousness.

This was nothing. In a civilization, there would always be a few people who received the favor of their mother star’s consciousness.

This fusion process was not long and only took about half an hour. At this time, Lin Lei would be no different from a normal person. Even if the nanobots entered the brain domain, no abnormality would be discovered.

On the morning of the thirty-fifth day after Lin Lei arrived in this body, just as Nurse Yu was performing a full-body muscle recovery massage on him, he opened his eyes!

“Ah!” Nurse Yu immediately discovered this situation. She ran out in surprise to report the situation, just as excited as she was that morning when she discovered the abnormality in Lin Lei’s brainwaves.

Soon, that middle-aged doctor rushed over. As soon as he reached the bedside, he placed his finger vaguely above Lin Lei’s eyes. Lin Lei immediately blinked instinctively.

“Haha, not bad. He has indeed woken up.” Seeing this instinctive reaction from Lin Lei, the doctor also obtained final confirmation.

He immediately began to ask Lin Lei: “Can you hear me speaking?”

Lin Lei could certainly hear, but his body was now as if it were rusted, unable to move a bit, and he could not even speak. Helplessly, he could only blink his eyes to indicate confirmation.

The doctor immediately understood Lin Lei’s meaning. He was very encouraged; this showed that the patient’s consciousness was clear and orderly.

“Then do you remember that your name is Lin Lei White?”

This body’s name was also Lin Lei. The reason was that his father was from Western civilization. For the heroes they worshipped, they liked to give their sons the same name, which embodied their ardent expectations for their beloved sons.

Therefore, on Earth now, you could grab a whole bunch of people named Lin Lei, such as Lin Lei Brown, Lin Lei Winster, Lin Lei Green.

This really left Lin Lei speechless, but it also saved Lin Lei the trouble of changing his name, so Lin Lei similarly blinked his eyes to indicate confirmation.

“Very good. Then can you speak? Try hard and see.”

Lin Lei understood his current physical condition very well. He didn’t need to try to know whether he could speak. His current vocal cords were almost stuck to other tissues in his throat. Any vibration was difficult to achieve, and it would require a period of recovery to use.

But Lin Lei still simply used airflow to resonate in his nasal cavity and mouth to make a weak sound: “It’s hard. My whole body is stiff now, even the muscles in my face are like this.”

The ward was very quiet. The middle-aged doctor heard this sound clearly. He patted Lin Lei’s hand with relief and comforted him: “You are a strong person. Don’t worry, everything will get better soon.”

He explained some matters needing attention during the recovery process to Nurse Yu beside him, and also prescribed a large pile of medicines for dredging the meridians.

The news of Lin Lei waking up was transmitted to his mother at the first moment. Since hearing that Lin Lei’s body recovery was hopeful, this poor woman had guarded in the hospital every day.

Earlier, she had gone out to eat breakfast. When she came back, she saw her son, looking at her with his eyes open.

“Heavens! Heavens! Is this real?” She covered her chest, only feeling intense joy surging in her heart.

This mother did not care about the other people in the ward. She immediately walked quickly to Lin Lei’s side, grabbed his hand and put it on her face, crying tears of joy.

The people in the ward watched this scene, and they all consciously lowered their voices.

For this scene, Lin Lei still felt a bit unnatural. He did not even know this old woman. Until now, Lin Lei had only heard others call her Mrs. White, and knew nothing else.

The memory information in this body was very blurry regarding the family situation. Almost all the deep and clear impressions were about scientific research. This was completely a workaholic. This was also the reason why Lin Lei could not call out this woman’s name.

Helplessly, he had to pretend to be tired, suppressed his brainwave fluctuations, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Originally, this matter could be done just by closing his eyes, but because the regulatory robots in the body were faithfully reflecting his body information, he had to act for real.

It was just as well; he could start recovering the major functions of the body. At least he would be able to run and jump freely, eat, sleep, and live a normal life later.

In the evening, three special people came to the ward. Looking at their rigorous clothes and the serious temperament they radiated, Lin Lei immediately recognized their origins.

“Earth Interstellar Technology Research Institute!” This was also the government organization where this body was previously located.

This organization was not a secret; it was even known to the public. Almost all of humanity’s eyes were focused here, because this was where Earth’s Hope lay.

This research institute gathered the top scientific research elites of humanity. Every member had an IQ over 180. It was definitely a place capable of generating powerful storms of wisdom.

That the research institute could successfully develop the Warp Engine in thirty-five years was enough to show the high wisdom of this group of elites.

The seed that Lin Lei had buried back then had undergone more than thirty years of growth and had already blossomed and borne fruit.

Among these three people, the leader was actually the beautiful woman who had come to see him a month ago.

But now, Lin Lei already knew her identity: Lin Xin, Lin Lei’s daughter, the Chief Scientific Research Officer at the institute, the master of Space Curvature theory, and at the same time, she had almost independently completed the design of the core component of the Warp Engine: the Curvature Generator.

Very good, very powerful. At least Lin Lei was very gratified. This was his daughter! He still remembered the scene on Apocalypse Star back then. Now time passed like flowing water. The events of the past had passed in the blink of an eye. Now, the father and daughter had met again in this wonderful way.

After a day of repair, Lin Lei was already able to speak, although his voice was a bit husky and deep, but it did not affect communication.

He spoke first: “I know you. Lin Xin, the Ice Rose of the research institute; and you, Heler, the Human-shaped Computer; finally Liu Yi, your idea for that Space Loop was simply brilliant!”

This was the information Lin Lei extracted from the brain memory area of this body after complete fusion. Currently, it seemed that they were correct. At least, after hearing Lin Lei’s words, the expressions of the three people in front of the sickbed all relaxed a lot.

Lin Xin was obviously indifferent to the title Ice Rose. Although her expression relaxed a little, her tone was still as indifferent as before: “White, our Warp spaceship has already successfully completed its test flight. Your design of the energy polymorphic superposition is completely correct, and has been successfully verified on the spaceship. Congratulations. Also, welcome back.”

Lin Xin never called him Lin Lei, because that was the name of the father she respected most, so she only called him White.

Undoubtedly, Lin Xin was absolutely a peerless genius. In fact, from her birth until now, anything she had experienced was clearly imprinted in her brain.

Including the infant period, the image of Lin Lei wearing crystallized battle armor on Apocalypse Star was still clearly remembered to this day.

That man who was incomparably cold and powerful against enemies, even now, when Lin Xin thought back to it, a feeling like heart palpitations would appear in her heart.

Even with her current wisdom, she only felt awe for the great deeds of how her father escaped from Earth back then and how he brought the Earthlings out from Mote Planet by himself.

The one influenced most deeply by Lin Lei was not Yan Siyu, nor Fuweili, but Lin Xin. The construction of her entire worldview was almost hugely influenced by her father.

So much so that now, having lost her father too early, she had formed this nearly unsociable icy personality.

Fuweili knew a little about this vaguely, but was helpless regarding this change, because at that time, her world was also on the verge of near collapse.

Lin Lei on the sickbed grinned. He did not expect that this junior who shared his name had actually done quite well. Energy polymorphic superposition, this was indeed a brilliant method to increase energy density to drive the Warp Engine.

“I will recover my body as soon as possible. I can’t wait to know the detailed performance parameters of that Warp spaceship. Lin Xin, Heler, Liu Yi, I had a very long dream. These ten years were not wasted. In the dream, I thought of a clever method to improve energy utilization rate!”

This sentence was absolutely Lin Lei’s true thought. A spaceship manufactured by Earthlings themselves, and mastering the core technology, this was exciting just to think about!

Hearing Lin Lei’s words, Lin Xin raised her eyebrows: “White, are you sure that isn’t a residual illusion from the dream? I don’t think humans can perform high-intensity logical thinking in dreams.”

Heler and Liu Yi did not speak, but they also had looks of suspicion on their faces.

“You will know what a genius is when the time comes. I will organize my thoughts in as much detail as possible.”

Lin Lei did not argue either; he spoke directly with facts.
