Human Body Overclocking
After saying that, Yi Kai introduced Yue Yuan to the various studies that the Academy of Life Sciences had conducted on the Kuntai People in the past two years.
There are various epigenetic feedback tests on newborns, studies on changes in the Mother Body before and after the transformation from the 'Kun' to the 'Tai' form, various brain scans, and various studies at the genetic level.
All studies have shown that the Kuntai People do not possess that kind of talent.
Yes, it's talent.
After all, the Kun-Tai Civilization was only a Tier 1 Civilization, and it was impossible for it to enable its race to achieve this ability through technological means. Therefore, it could only be an innate talent of the race.
Now that this result has been obtained, Yue Yuan can rest assured.
"Alright, next, you will select the Kuntai People you need. After they give birth to offspring, it will be time for our business with the Kun-Tai Civilization to come to an end." Yue Yuan also looked at Yi Kai with joy. After two years, they finally had an answer.
As he spoke, he stood up from the sofa and slowly walked out of the office. Then, as he walked towards the bridge of the Lyra, he said to Yi Kai, who followed him, "Old Yi, besides reaching this conclusion, you must have made quite a few gains in other areas of research these past two years, right?"
As Yue Yuan spoke, he glanced back at Yi Kai, only to find Yi Kai shaking his head and sighing, "That depends on what kind of progress we're talking about. If the Chief of Staff is talking about a breakthrough, then no, because there's a shortage of talent right now. Many studies on the abnormal mechanisms of the Kuntai People are still in the design stage."
If we're talking about progress, there has been some. For example, we actually found the trigger mechanism for the abnormal development of the Kuntai People. Although we still don't know which segment of the gene is responsible for its appearance.
"Oh? Tell me what happened." Yue Yuan became interested. Of course, he also understood that it was impossible to understand the various mechanisms of the Kuntai People in two years.
"Well, how should I put it!" Yi Kai muttered, pausing for a moment before continuing, "It's a kind of magical hormone that appears in large quantities around the middle of the lifespan of the Kuntai People. It is that hormone that causes the Kuntai People to undergo abnormal development, so we call that hormone the Metamorphosis Hormone."
"Metamorphosis Hormone. That's quite fitting," Yue Yuan thought to himself.
Yi Kai continued, "It's called amazing because that hormone only works on the bodies of Kuntai People. We've done many in vitro experiments, and even injected it into other animal creatures of the Kun-Tai Civilization, and there were no abnormal developments. On the contrary, it's like a drug, poisoning other creatures to death."
Therefore, to date, we still do not know the correspondence between Metamorphosis Hormone and Kuntai People cells, or rather, their genes.
Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, these things can't be rushed, let's take it slowly."
"I understand. After all, the abnormal development mechanism of the Kuntai People is very complex, containing almost all the secrets of their race, and it is indeed difficult to break through in a short period of time." As he spoke, Yi Kai suddenly chuckled, then his tone changed. "However, there are some interesting experimental designs or arguments."
Seeing Yi Kai's expression, Yue Yuan knew that this guy was going to keep him in suspense again, so he raised an eyebrow and signaled Yi Kai to hurry up and speak.
"Hehe!" Yi Kai stroked his beard. "Generally speaking, some researchers have designed many experiments to demonstrate the possible reactions that might occur when the abnormal mechanism of the Kuntai People is applied to us humans."
"Turn into a monster?" Yue Yuan asked curiously.
"Uh, no, not at all."
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
"Well," Yi Kai and Yue Yuan stepped onto the bridge and said at the same time, "Some teams are looking into the relationship between abnormal development mechanisms and comprehensive physical enhancement. There has been some progress. Once we find it, we will be able to distinguish between the two. However, according to the current research progress, these two may be located in the same gene segment, which means that comprehensive physical enhancement is inevitably accompanied by changes in body shape."
"Of course we cannot accept this, so some research groups have taken a different approach. Based on the phenomenon that the Kuntai People enter metamorphosis in the middle of their lives, they believe that there must be a certain gene segment that dominates or controls the lifespan of the Kuntai People."
Finding this gene fragment means finding a gene that can determine lifespan at the genetic level, which may mean we can gain a deeper understanding of how Longevity Potion work.
"Hmm, that's a good discovery," Yue Yuan affirmed. The Kuntai People very special; basically, once they enter a state of abnormal development, you can tell how long they can live.
"Of course, there are many other topics, papers, arguments, and technological prospects," Yi Kai added.
As soon as he said that, Yue Yuan knew what this guy was up to: he must be asking for research funding.
Although Yue Yuan knew this, he didn't expose it directly. Instead, he continued to listen to Yi Kai's introduction of the prospects for studying the abnormal mechanisms of the Kuntai People.
According to Yi Kai, if the research project on the Kuntai People is a great success, then humanity may have the ability to proactively and comprehensively enhance itself.
Yi Kai brazenly refers to this ability, which is still in the research and prospect description stage, as Human Body Overclocking.
Since Kuntai People consumes more energy in the 'Tai' form than in the 'Kun' form, Yi Kai describes it as an ability that doubles both its power and energy consumption.
When the abnormal mechanism of the Kuntai People can be used on humans, humans can maintain a normal state to reduce energy consumption. After triggering the mechanism switch, they can actively enter the Human Body Overclocking state.
After making his promise, Yi Kai chuckled, looked at Yue Yuan, and said in a serious tone, "Commander, have you ever heard of Super Saiyan?"
Super Saiyan?!
Yue Yuan was taken aback, stopped and recalled for a moment, then turned his head and said, "It seems to be a race from an anime thousands of years ago, who seems to have the ability to transform into a punk rocker. You mean, if this research project on the Kuntai People is a great success, humans might have the ability to transform?!"
"Uh, Chief, that was just a metaphor, not that exaggerated. It was just Human Body Overclocking, um, yes, Human Body Overclocking," Yi Kai corrected. There was definitely no transformation ability or anything like that. If he used that term, people might misunderstand and think that their gender had changed like in the Kun-Tai Civilization, which would be bad.
"Okay, but from your description, I don't think he's Saiyan. He seems more like that Frieza." Yue Yuan said suspiciously.
"Ah, anyway, it will definitely be an improvement in overall capabilities, that's for sure." Yi Kai chuckled, then changed the subject, saying, "Commander, only when the human body is strengthened again can it adapt to even stronger acceleration. You know, we now have Cold Nuclear Pulse Thruster, and the human body must adapt to that much stronger acceleration!"
