Chapter 1077: Report
Cruze had noticed the problems currently facing the territory even before Xiao Ran had. Naturally, this had a great deal to do with him personally. Although Ray's illness had been cured, Cruze had watched Ray's slow growth with his own eyes. He said nothing and did not appear anxious, but when he encountered a long-lived life-form like the Third Generation Demon Envoy—one produced through genetic adjustment in a manner not so different from the way Coordinators were born—he naturally took an interest.
Studying bloodlines was one of Cruze's goals. Developing gene-based drugs or serums that could extend lifespans was another. Once activated, the Third Generation Demon Envoys displayed the characteristics of eternal youth and immortality, making them his best samples. Why was there no difference before activation, yet such a drastic change afterward? In Durandal and Cruze's view, that likewise involved a process of acquired transformation.
He had always believed Prometheus's Bloodline Serum was an advanced form of genetic technology. Since it was technology, it could potentially be reproduced. With all the necessary techniques in hand, artificial Third Generation Demon Envoys could now begin to be replicated. But how to grant the abilities possessed by Third Generation Demon Envoys to fully developed life-forms, and reproduce the activation process of a Third Generation Demon Envoy, had become the focus of their current research.
Unfortunately, they had yet to achieve any truly satisfactory results.
Xiao Ran had been listening ever since Cruze began speaking. Only now did he realize that Cruze had noticed the passage of time and the issue of the Technicians' lifespans even before he had. When Cruze said that if the researchers' lifespans could be changed, all the territory's technology would rise in a straight line, Xiao Ran nodded in agreement as well.
So he asked,
