Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Resonance Chamber

Treating Solen's Crystal Stagnation was unlike anything Chen He had ever done. This wasn't about fixing damage; it was about kickstarting a process that should have happened naturally. His [Pediatric Vulnerability Assessment] showed him the problem in perfect detail: the tiny bioluminescence regulators inside Solen weren't just weak, they were asleep. They needed a strong, but gentle, push to awaken.

He spent days in his clinic, pouring over the Modifier System's suggestions, running simulations, and talking quietly with Kael about Xylan development. The system hinted at something called "bio-resonant frequencies," a way to vibrate individual cells and encourage growth. On Earth, this would sound like science fiction, but here, with crystalline bodies that hummed with light, it felt almost natural.

The challenge was to find the exact frequency. Too weak, and it would do nothing. Too strong, and it could shatter Solen's delicate structure. The Modifier offered complex schematics for a device it called a "Resonance Chamber". It was a blend of Xylan energy manipulation and Earth's understanding of cellular biology.

"Kael, I need a very specific type of crystal," Chen He explained, sketching a diagram on a data-slate. "One that can hold a sustained energy charge at a precise frequency. And we'll need to build a small chamber, completely sealed, where Solen can rest."

Kael, used to Chen He's unusual requests, nodded. "The Lumina family has access to the deepest crystal mines. They will get what you need."

Within days, thanks to the Lumina family's influence, the necessary materials arrived. Chen He worked tirelessly, assembling the chamber. It looked like a smooth, egg-shaped pod, lined with intricate circuits and glowing crystal emitters. Inside, a small bed of soft, conductive moss was prepared for Solen.

Finally, the day came. Solen, looking even more fragile than before, was carefully placed inside the Resonance Chamber. Chen He stood before the controls, his hands steady. His [Absolute Precision] trait guided him as he input the frequencies the Modifier had calculated. This wasn't just a number; it was a symphony of invisible waves, tailored to Solen's unique genetic makeup.

He activated the chamber. A soft, internal hum filled the room, and the crystals lining the pod began to glow with a gentle, pulsing light. Chen He watched the monitors intensely. Solen's faint glow inside the chamber began to flicker, then slowly, hesitantly, it strengthened. It was like watching a dim lightbulb slowly brighten.

The treatment wasn't instant. Solen needed to stay in the chamber for hours each day, over several cycles. Each session, Chen He adjusted the frequencies, guided by the Modifier's constant feedback on Solen's developing bioluminescence. He was essentially a conductor, orchestrating the subtle energies within the child's body.

After a week, the change was undeniable. Solen's crystalline skin, once dull, now held a faint, beautiful shimmer. The child was more alert, its tiny limbs moving with more purpose. The Lumina family, observing from behind a protective screen, shed tears of pure, melodious joy.

But Chen He knew this was just the beginning. The Resonance Chamber was awakening Solen's regulators, but guiding them to full, healthy development would be a long, delicate process. And the success of this one case would surely bring more. The Modifier system hummed, silent but ever-present, ready for the next challenge. He was no longer just a surgeon; he was a pioneer, forging new paths in an alien medical world.
