Chapter 450 - 450 New Research Project
450 New Research Project
Following the principle of avoidance and suspicion, Wu Mo returned to his dormitory temporarily instead of going to the injection room to visit his parents.
After he told Shen Qingya that he was safe and washing up, Wu Mo lay in bed and thought about his future work.
“We’ve played and done what we wanted.
“Now, it’s time to plan the route for my future work.
“The old chief gave me a lot of autonomy.
“Strengthening serum, genetic modification, and area strengthening equipment… I need to choose between these three.”
Wu Mo pondered.
“The strategic value of these three directions is almost the same.
“The strengthening serum can directly increase the combat strength of soldiers. It has a wide range of applications and a significant lasting effect.
“The manufacturing cost is relatively low. The highest is no more than 10 million, and the lowest is no less than a million.”
Wu Mo then a.n.a.lyzed the second development route.
“Next is genetic modification. The potential in this direction is extremely great, and the maximum cost of the strengthening serum is only 10 million points. However, genetic modification could achieve group strengthening.”
Although it was expensive, it was the highest grade of the strengthening serum.
Just like how a top-notch bow and arrow could not be compared to an ordinary rifle, there would always be an upper limit.
“Many of the minor systems in the human body can be adjusted.
“Imagine a special group of people. The brightness of their phones is the highest in the dark, but the light cannot stimulate their vision. Eating and drinking every day wouldn’t make them fat, but a little exercise would strengthen his muscles.”
These conditions were excellent, but they were also determined by genes and were within the range of easy change.
“There’s a gene editor in the system store, but the cheapest one requires 100 million points.”
Wu Mo was deeply influenced by a manga called Dragon Valley.
There was a gene editor in the manga that could create creatures such as giant soldiers and giant insects.
Such a gene editor would give him a high degree of freedom, and he could create super weapons like colossi.
If Wu Mo were to devote himself to this, he could only rely on the system. Since his current points had been exhausted, he could only obtain them through missions.
The prerequisite technology provided by the system was not that powerful. It was more based on practical considerations.
“The cost-performance ratio for genetic modification is too low.
“Furthemore, the upper limit of genetic modification far exceeds the strengthening serum or area-of-effect strengthening. The branches of the technology tree are more complicated, so I’m not sure which one the system will provide.”
The strengthening serum might give him an ability similar to Captain America’s.
As for genetic modification, Wu Mo was unable to confirm it.
“In conclusion, I’ll still focus on physique strengthening!
“A physique strengthening device…
“For example, the Genetic Mutation Tower in the game can also be called a genetic controller.
“But I will never let my comrades become orcs.”
The biggest drawback of the Genetic Mutation Tower was that it could turn humans into orcs and erase their consciousness. This would them into battle machines that only listened to orders.
Was there any meaning to that?
China did not need such biological weapons.
It needed soldiers who could a.n.a.lyze the environment on the battlefield and have a higher degree of freedom in local battles, not brainless giants like those in games or comics.
Orcs were not suitable for modern battlefields, and it was not in line with China’s style.
Electromagnetic rifles were being equipped in various countries. No matter how thick an orc’s skin was, it could not withstand the destructive power of an electromagnetic bullet.
“The biggest effect of strengthening one’s physique is allowing soldiers to better integrate into machines.
“The stronger the physique and the faster the reaction, the more powerful the power armor and new weapon will be.”
The most striking feature of this route was its wide coverage.
If a group of rabbits and a group of eagles were at each other’s throats on a battlefield, war would be inevitable.
However, at this moment, a piece of equipment appeared before him.
This was the area-of-effect physique strengthening device. After activating it, the eagles discovered that the rabbits had become much more muscular. Their combat power had increased greatly, and their control over their equipment had doubled.
Then, a one-sided suppression began.
“Therefore, the biggest benefit of physical strengthening is to train soldiers at the level of Captain America or top athletes in batches.
“It can change many things on the battlefield.
“Therefore, this is of utmost importance.
“The difficulty is not low, but military manufacturing is my forte. Therefore, I choose this one now!”
Wu Mo decided to devote himself to the research of the area-of-effect physique strengthening device.
After making up his mind, Wu Mo wanted to report to the old chief and ask for his approval. Then, he would personally promote the project so that it could be established quickly.
After all, the old chief had a prominent position. With his order, any project would be given the green light.
Wu Mo activated his internal communicator and quickly dialed the old chief’s number.
Today was different from usual. The old general answered the phone very quickly.
“Little Wu, what do you want to tell me now? Or had he decided on the direction of the new project?”
The old chief was as capable as ever. He went straight to the point and skipped the opening formalities.
“Chief, I’ve confirmed the research direction of the new project and am planning to report it to you. By the way, please help me contact the comrades in the Equipment Department and establish the project as soon as possible!”
The old chief on the other end of the phone hummed in acknowledgment.
“I’ll definitely help you say h.e.l.lo, but I’m very curious. Which direction have you chosen?”
Wu Mo told the old chief without reservation that he had decided to choose the area-of-effect physique strengthening device.
“Although this direction is not as powerful as the strengthening serum and genetic modification, it is very practical for the current stage.
“After completing this route, we can try other directions.”
Wu Mo naturally agreed.
“Then I won’t say much. I have to prepare to receive the Life First injection.”
“Have a safe journey, Chief!”
“I wish you all the best!” the old chief replied.
…
Wu Mo was waiting in the Inst.i.tute of Special Biology.
According to the old chief’s efficiency, the relevant doc.u.ments could be delivered within two hours.
After all, Wu Mo was one of the top researchers in China.
Whether it was on the surface or in reality, wasting a second would bring about a huge loss.
The system’s judgment was very simple. As long as the old chief and the higher-ups confirmed that Wu Mo was the project leader, the system could choose to load it.
There was no need to worry too much about the relevant doc.u.ments.
Even if the mission was changed midway, as long as the system did not complete the loading, the mission could not end.
Wu Mo immediately activated the system.
Before activating the system, he was filled with emotions.
Every time this happened, Wu Mo would feel emotional.
“I grew from an ordinary blacksmith to a top-notch scientist and obtained multiple first-cla.s.s merit points. Now, I’m an authority figure in the field of life sciences.
“All of this is thanks to my own hard work and talent!
“System, load!” Wu Mo said firmly.”
[The research and development of the Human Life Potion has officially begun!]
“System store… activate!”
[Group Elite Enhanceable Device Research – Initial activation points: 20 million points!
[Activating AOE Enhancement Device. Requires the development of Human Life Potion and Gene Enhancement Potion!]
After Wu Mo finished reading it, his heart could not help but tremble.
