Steel steam and flame

One and a half months after the school started, the military school became completely peaceful. The new students are busy practicing and getting familiar with their new-born bodies. Their first mission will have to wait until at least three months. Things in school now have basically nothing to do with them. As for the students in the second year, the rest of them have strong self-control ability and can completely suppress the restlessness in their hearts at all times. They will all flow out completely and unreservedly with the violent beating of this heart at a certain moment.

Cassia did not waste this time. As early as half a month ago, she collected the surgical development information on the heat resistance of the arm and began to try to learn this ability.

The information has always mentioned in detail the influence of external environmental factors and inner spiritual will. They are two general directions for surgical development, and they are also the two most important ones.

In the military school, there are basically no external factors, and you can only rely on yourself to create. After that, every day of training and theoretical study ended a little early, and then he returned to the room early and began to "hone" his hands in all aspects.

A hot environment is required, as mentioned in more than a dozen documents. But the school environment is exactly the opposite of what is said above. In a school that is located in a cold climate all year round, there is no way to find a suitable heat source.

Therefore, it can only be replaced with hot water in the early stage. The boiling water in the cafeteria was just the right material for the experiment, so I went to the school store to buy a larger kettle. After training and eating, returning to the canteen to turn on the water has become a normal part of his life. The water temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius should still be within the range that she can bear, Cassia has such confidence.

After opening the cross pupils, Cassia still retained a strong instinctive resistance reaction when she put her hand into the water for the first time. After all, it was something he had to do on his own initiative, and the sense of danger that ordinary people still have still remains at the lowest level of the body.

As a result, I got burned on the first day. Cassia felt a sense of humor and ridicule from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't know how to evaluate this behavior. It wasn't serious, and I went to the school's medical department and was prescribed several doses of scalding medicine. Coupled with his own powerful self-healing ability, the injury completely improved within an hour or two.

At this time the first layer of skin is shed. Cassia originally thought it was just dead skin burned by hot water, but after turning on the cross pupils under the light, she found that it was different from what she thought. It should be said that it was not all dead skin, but contained parts that had fallen off on its own, he could tell.

"The progress seems to be different from those described in those cases, and the feelings described are also completely different." Cassia looked at her hands with a layer of skin peeled off, feeling a little confused. The skin color becomes darker. After returning from the volcano base, his fresh and fair skin was gradually returning to his original skin color.

"The color will deepen again later. After experiencing a tan peak, it basically means that most of the development has been completed." Cassia thought about the different development time nodes in the data. His current The state is still completely in its infancy. It’s just that the speed of progress is not consistent with the case. Generally, when the arm begins to shed a layer of skin, it is about ten days after the arm is heated by an external heat source. And what is taken off at that time is just pure dead skin, which is a simple and normal self-renewal of the skin.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but Cassia can only carry on with her head on. After a few days, the results have begun to take shape. After using the scalding medicine and opening the cross pupils, both arms will no longer be scalded by boiling water. You will still feel the burning pain during soaking, but it seems to have gained some resistance. The water of one hundred degrees Celsius can only burn his hands until they turn red.

Soon after, the arm begins its second molt. It was far more uncomfortable than the first time, like a snake struggling in the grass, trying to scrape off its dead skin by external friction. For the first time, Cassia saw with her own eyes the dramatic process of skin shedding to regeneration.

It happened after soaking. There was a slight numbness in the red arm. Cassia lost the feeling of her hands for a moment, and then came the pain of burning and twisting. The whole process took less than ten minutes, but every minute passed.

The new skin is darker, with brown shadows in the wheat color. The heat resistance changed significantly after that and became better, which is a huge improvement. By the time he used boiling water to simulate the external environment for the second time, Cassia knew that this method had lost its effect.

When Cassia was considering how to continue simulating the external environment, he asked Delya to send the objects over for more than half a month before they finally arrived in his hands.

It was wrapped extremely tightly with a waterproof cloth and a thick layer of tinfoil. The tin foil is the outermost layer and is well protected. It has not been damaged, and of course there is no trace of it being opened and inspected by others.

Two pneumatic weapons equipped with radiator tubes are completely placed inside, both of which are long swords, the type of cold weapons that Cassia is most proficient in using now. And what he called a silver aluminum case. When you open it, you can see several layers of shock-absorbing cotton padded inside. A complete set of flat syringes that he had ordered from Delya before were displayed. After Dr. Dole's reminder, the concentrated dragon blood he diluted with tranquilizers had already been packed in these syringes.

The moment she saw these syringes, Cassia's head suddenly went into a trance. He thought of himself who had almost mutated during the rearrangement, with his body covered in black rough fine scales and a tail covered with sharp barbs. At that time, the transport team on the train was killed in a very short period of time. The sight of the captain's entire head being weathered away by the hot air in the form of red charcoal is still deeply etched in my memory.

"The progress of the operation will be faster than those data cases, and the nodes will be different. Is there a reason for this?" Cassia felt that he had found the starting point of the problem, because he clearly remembered that his whole body was in the throes of rearrangement of jets. When he was in the steam column, the superheated steam in the center of the smoke column did not cause any trace of burns on him.

I feel that there must be a connection, but with Cassia's current understanding of surgical development, the necessary connection between the two cannot be fully sorted out. Without thinking much, he continued to simulate the external environment by using hot water with increasingly less effective effects. There were also bold moves. Relying on his sensitivity to steam machinery, Cassia successfully found the power transmission drawings inside the walls of the dormitory room in the library. Tried using a tactical knife to pry open the wall and release the steam from the copper pipes to get a consistent, reliable source of heat. However, the quality of the steam transportation pipelines in the military school was very good, and the plan was not realized. When I can't go to the military school, if I want to continue to develop this surgery, I can only rely on another general direction.

"Inner spiritual will?" At night, Cassia lay flat on the bed, rubbing her hands with increasingly rough skin, thinking word by word.
