Chapter 408: Demon Restraining Cuffs
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow TranslationsIn an enclosed environment within the underground laboratory, time pa.s.sed very quickly .
A month had pa.s.sed .
Xi Menjian rubbed his forehead as he left a meeting .
Everyone was worried about the outbreak of evolvers around the world and the strict security protocols that were put in place to deal with the situation .
"Fortunately . . . . The probability of such an obvious special ability is extremely low among the evolvers . . . However, considering the slow increase in energy as well as the 3rd occurrence which is about to happen . . . "
Xi Menjian started to have a headache . "Finally, the information about the old cultivators . . . Sigh, could this world be plagued with demons in the future?"
"Chief of Bureau!"
At this point in time, a secretary came running in . "There"s news from the research centre . Experiment No . 2 was a success!"
"What?"
Elated, Xi Menjing peered out . "It"s Comrade Fang Yuan, one of the two evolvers with evolved brains! Great! Let"s return now, for this is a rare piece of good news!"
At this point in time, within the underground base .
Fang Yuan gazed at the screen and saw a familiar face .
The subject was tall and skinny and had a tanned skin . It was his friend from the orphanage, the national athlete who did the country proud - Liu Fei .
"Let"s begin the experiment now!"
"The subject of the experiment is Liu Fei, a speed evolver . After the second occurrence, nothing happened . His previous record for the 100m sprint still stands at 8 . 9 seconds!"
. . .
The a.s.sistant by the side used a robotic voice to report the details .
Fang Yuan nodded his head . Even among the first few evolvers, there was only a handful who were able to awaken their special ability under the influence of the second occurrence .
However, they were normal humans who became supernormal overnight as well! This was the potential of the evolvers!
"Ready . . . go!"
Liu Fei had volunteered himself to become the subject of experimentation and contribute to his country .
Without emotions, Fang Yuan coldly gave the order .
"Whoos.h.!.+"
On the screen, Liu Fei sped towards the finish line like the wind .
"The data obtained during experimentation is a new record! 8 . 5 seconds!"
The researcher exclaimed .
This result was able to shatter the world record once more .
"It seems like the second occurrence is still effective!"
Fang Yuan nodded his head and commanded . "Let"s commence the control experiment!"
"Yes!"
In the screen, a researcher made Liu Fei wear a metal bracelet .
"Kacha!"
As soon as the bracelet was fixed on Liu Fei"s arm, his expression changed .
"Let"s begin!"
"Whoos.h.!.+"
It was another 100m sprint, and the new results came out . "13 . 02 seconds!"
"After a body checkup, we found out that the energy in his body was restricted and the muscles in his legs are stiffened . . . "
"Let"s change the subject!"
Fang Yuan nodded his head and changed the subject .
"This is a volunteer from the army, Qian Yingming . He had awakened his special ability to spit fire after the second occurrence . The fire which he spits out can reach 1,000 degrees Celsius and he has no control over it . . . "
The screen changed and now displayed a charred interior of a laboratory .
A young man was coughing and sneezing inside . Every time he did so, sparks would come out from his nose, charring the entire room .
With that, he was being made to wear a metal necklace around his neck . With a look of confusion, he started to sneeze and cough with all his might but there were no longer any sparks .
"Send in the 3rd group!"
"4th group!"
. . .
"Hmm, the experiment on subject No . 2 is still the most successful!"
After comparing 10 groups together, Fang Yuan rubbed his chin .
"Congratulations!"
Li Zilong walked in . "The metal cuffs made from special gold are smelted with your hidden needles, which will pierce through their acupunctures, disrupting the flow of their internal energy and from there, disrupt the balance in their small worlds! This is a genius idea . . . But only you will be able to think of it!"
"How? Have you thought of a name for it?"
"Let"s call it the "Demon Restraining Cuffs"!"
Fang Yuan rubbed his chin and a playful thought came to his mind .
"Mmm . . . no matter how powerful and evil the evolver may be, as long as he is wearing the Demon Restraining Cuffs, he will have to obediently face the law . . . This is great!"
Xi Menjian walked in and shook Fang Yuan"s hand . "Comrade Fang, your design is going to help us so much!"
"Chief, please be patient . There are still a few things to be improved . Firstly, we have to consider the rarity of this gold . Furthermore, the detailed smelting will have to go through rounds of discussion, for the hidden needles and engravings in the cuffs will have to be extremely accurate and be manufactured according to the standards of the human anatomy . . . "
"Of course, the most important thing is to concede that these cuffs will still have their limitations . If the evolver has too much energy in them, they might be able to free themselves by using brute force!"
Fang Yuan calmly a.n.a.lysed the potential problems and raised his gla.s.ses .
Since he had joined the scientific community, how could he not get a pair of gla.s.ses to display his maturity?
Although his eyesight was perfect, he had made a degreeless gla.s.ses which could cover up the appearance of his Fiery Golden Eyes if he were to use them .
"Don"t worry, these problems are not problems!"
Xi Menjian patted his chest with confidence . "We have a huge population compared to other countries and we can use brute force to solve all these problems with all the brains we have . With that, we can create an equipment which the criminals will have to worry about!"
. . .
Since the country was in favour of it, the production process quickly commenced .
In a few days, the first factory was built to produce the special gold and engineers were gathered for a meeting .
"We have a military order from the higher-ups . Regardless of price and resources, we have to smelt as many special gold ingots as possible . We have to meet both the quality and quant.i.ty required . . . Don"t even mention any potential difficulties . Just resolve these difficulties and raise requests if any of you might have any requirements . The higher-ups have already sent someone to the factory to manage all of you, and he is sent here to resolve your problems . Comrades, this is the task of the government . We must complete it!"
At the same time .
From all locations, the most highly-skilled people were called forth .
Even though they might be the backbone of their own factories, they could only put down whatever they had on their hands and gather at a specific place to become part of a larger project .
Mountain Ocean City, Red Star Machinery Factory .
"Leader . . . we cannot let Master Guo leave . He is the support of the entire factory . Without him, a lot of machines in our factory will no longer be able to operate!"
The plump factory manager held the phone, nodded his head and had an uneasy expression .
"We cannot change to someone else . This is a tasking from the government and this request was directly from the manpower branch . . . Furthermore, this is a contribution to the country! Why should we be against it?"
"Yes, yes!"
The factory manager stood up straight . "However, the productivity of our factory . . . "
"Don"t worry about it . We have thought about it as well as we a.s.sure you that we will not make your current load heavier . Tell Master Guo not to worry about anything and just do his best . . . Didn"t you praise him for his craftsmans.h.i.+p before? If he is unable to deliver, he will make our factory lose face! As long as he completes the tasking, everyone will remember him!"
"Yes, I"ll promise that he will complete the tasking!"
The factory manager was filled with excitement . "I"m not self-praising, but Master Guo is a highly talented craftsman . Nothing can trouble him!!"
After a long while, the factory manager hung up and gazed towards a middle-aged man . "Master Guo . . . look, the country has chosen you specifically . . . "
"Since that is so, I shall make a move now!"
Master Guo smiled . Although he was only a middle-aged man, his hands were already full of calluses, which was evidence of his rich experience . "Since the higher-ups value me, I cannot be disrespectful . . . "
. . .
The entire Chinese Country was extremely happening as the country"s machinery was running to complete the taskings .
Within the research centre .
Xi Menjian looked at Fang Yuan and felt a little conflicted . "Comrade Fang Yuan, I will surely approve if you would like to go for a break . However, your personal safety is important, extremely important!"
"I know, but I do have self-defence capabilities to some extent . . . "
Fang Yuan smiled . "Furthermore . . . I am very interested in the quick response team of the Religious Bureau . . . After all, I can only progress well if I am able to obtain first-hand data about the Demon Restraining Cuffs . . . "
"Don"t even think about it!"
Xi Menjian shook his head . "I rather give you a long break than let you out to fight!"
It was crazy to let a scientist carry a gun to fight a war outside .
"The times have changed . . . "
Fang Yuan did not give a direct reply and instead, gave a mysterious smile .
"Alright, I"ll approve of your break in advance . However, I will need to add a few more guards for you and you cannot leave the capital . . . "
Xi Menjian looked at Fang Yuan and knew that Fang Yuan was an extremely determined person . He could not convince Fang Yuan otherwise as he held his head, conflicted .
"Alright!"
Fang Yuan took a bow, left the room and closed the door .
. . .
After returning to his room, he received a pleasant surprise .
"I am the new guard, Zhao Daniu, reporting for duty!"
Zhao Daniu appeared much stronger than before . Donning a military uniform, he saluted Fang Yuan and had a look of happiness in his eyes .
"Haha . . . it"s you!"
Fang Yuan smiled, walked forward and gave a friendly punch to Zhao Daniu . "What happened?"
"This was all your idea . . . Initially, the orphanage had sent me to a factory to work . I could not stand it when then factory manager started to touch the girls and take advantage of them . Therefore, I punched him and left to start my own stall, selling barbecued fish . . . "
Seeing a familiar face, Zhao Daniu became much more relaxed . "My business picked up and I had done the calculations . In a year, I would be able to year at least 10,000 dollars . However, at the end of the year, I met a few gangsters . I accidentally killed one of them and was captured by the police . However, I was fortunate enough to have met Officer Han who had given me the option to redeem myself by working for him . . . "
"Cough cough!"
Ye Yingzi coughed . "Comrade Zhao Daniu, watch your image . Also, Comrade Fang Yuan is the leader, so mind your language . . . "
"Hehe . . . I"m stupid and I"ve almost forgotten about it!"
Zhao Daniu smiled sheepishly as he scratched his head .
"Haha . . . Daniu, don"t you worry . Since you are now following me, I will make sure that you are well taken care of . . . let"s go for a roast meat feast in the canteen! I also secretly brought along two bottles of alcohol . . . "
Fang Yuan paid no attention to what Ye Yingzi said as he placed his arms around Zhao Daniu and spoke with authority .
Even Ye Yingzi was speechless when she saw such an att.i.tude from Fang Yuan . . .
