"That's how it is, but the method of use is a bit special." Yi Kai first affirmed, then the smile faded from his face, revealing an expression of not knowing what to say.

"Hmm?" Yue Yuan keenly noticed this change in expression.

"This is hard to explain in a few words. Chief, you should go to the Life Science Research Institute and see for yourself," Yi Kai said, spreading his hands to indicate that there was a lot of information involved, and he would explain it in detail when they arrived at the Life Science Research Institute.

As he spoke, he increased his stride frequency.

Yue Yuan naturally called to the soldiers behind him, as well as the scientists, technical officials, assistants, and others who had accompanied him on the earlier inspection of the Space Dock, to follow.

As they walked, the scientists and technical officials exchanged their observations. This needed to be discussed, as they still had to go back and write a report.

The report was not for Yue Yuan, but for their department.

From their discussion, it's clear that the target they just inspected with Yue Yuan was humanity's New Flagship.

The name remains unchanged; it is still called the Lyra.

Once the new construction is completed, humanity's military and political center will be moved to the new Lyra.

This New Lyra is even larger than the Dongting Warship, and its manufacturing process adheres to the same philosophy as building a flagship, using only the best and most advanced materials.

Armor configuration and such are naturally the same as other Lake-Class Warship. After all, the No. 2 Alloy Material has already been produced. It can't be said that it can't be used just because it's not a flagship. So, the best and most advanced technology refers to those things that humans have the ability to build, but have not yet reached the stage of large-scale mass production.

This thing is like a custom-made product; it can't be installed on all 1,000 Lake-Class Warship.

For example, the core bridge armor of the flagship uses No. 1 Alloy Material for other Lake-Class Warship, while the flagship uses No. 2 Alloy Material. No. 2 Alloy Material is stronger but also heavier, which makes the flagship more massive than other warships. This greater mass necessitates a more powerful engine.

That way you won't turn into an old tortoise.

Greater thrust requires a larger engine, which makes the flagship much larger than other warships, essentially reaching the pinnacle of human technology today.

The New Lyra is 5 kilometers long, about 3 kilometers wide and 3 kilometers high, almost a whole size larger than the earliest experimental ship Dongting Warship.

As for other conventional Lake-Class Warship, they were also larger than the Dongting Warship, but not by much. Basically, their length, width, and height were about 4, 3, 3, or 4, 3, 2.5. The difference was mainly due to the different types of main guns, and the performance difference was not significant.

Of course, there is another major reason why the New Lyra is so huge: it has three main guns, one is a super-large Positron Cannon, one is a super-large Gamma Ray Beam Cannon, and one is Super Large Electromagnetic Railgun. The three guns are arranged in a triangle and mounted on its head.

Judging from the finished model, this layout makes the New Lyra look like it's biting a Gatling Gun when it bares its fangs and fires.

Of course, under normal circumstances, its head and weapons are encased in external movable armor inside the hull, so it looks like a rather streamlined and beautiful warship, as do the other Lake-Class Warship.

Anyway, amidst the discussions, Yue Yuan and his group quickly arrived at the Life Science Research Institute. Upon entering, Yi Kai led everyone directly to the finished product display area.

The so-called exhibition area was actually a fairly spacious cabin. Yue Yuan glanced around and noticed some staff members walking around inside, carrying notebooks. One side of the wall, like a normal exhibition hall, was filled with various items.

Turning his gaze away, Yue Yuan saw Yi Kai stride forward, calling out loudly, "Xiao Shi, bring out the contents of box number seven for the Chief of Staff to inspect."

"Huh? Oh dear! Oh, okay, just a moment." A girl's voice rang out, as if she had just woken up from her own world of thoughts.

Although she is called a girl, she is actually quite old; she just looks like a girl.

This situation is very common in human society today. A girl who looks nineteen or twenty years old may actually be three hundred years old.

The same is true for this girl. She looks only nineteen years old, but she is actually almost two hundred years old.

When Yue Yuan was scanning the exhibition area earlier, he noticed this girl because she was different from the other staff members. While the other staff members were walking around and seemed quite busy, she was the only one standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

Judging from his reaction, he did seem a bit stunned.

This was the first time Yue Yuan had met him, but Yi Kai was clearly already used to it.

Perhaps noticing Yue Yuan's curious expression, Yi Kai explained, "This girl is called Shi Lifen. Don't let her seemingly dull appearance fool you; she actually has a high talent in the field of genetics. She deserves 80% credit for breaking through the difficulties in using the Life Elixir in the Kun-Tai Civilization."

And the Director shouldn't be fooled by her appearance. She only occasionally shows this dazed look in everyday life. When it comes to genetic research, she's a completely different person!

Oh, so he's just naturally clueless! Yue Yuan nodded secretly, finally understanding.

Before long, Yue Yuan took what Yi Kai had mentioned from Shi Lifen, who looked rather dazed.

It's about the size of a bucket, a transparent container with a high-tech feel. From the outside, you can tell it's quite thick. The liquid inside is blue, and the container itself seems to glow, making it look like something out of a movie, used to store important liquids. It's also quite heavy, weighing around ten kilograms. However, both Yue Yuan and Shi Lifen handled it with ease.

There was a long string of text written on it, the largest of which was "Human Body Overclocking) ", followed by a long explanation.

At this moment, Yue Yuan heard Yi Kai's voice in his ear. "Chief, this is the Human Body Overclocking Elixir. The clinical trials have all been successful. Several volunteers have already received the injection as recipients, and it has been very successful. I think that after observing for a few more months, it can be promoted in the military."

Yue Yuan supported the 'Human Body Overclocking No. 1' with one hand, bringing it to eye level, then looked at the bluish liquid inside and asked, "How many people is this for?"

The bucket was so big that Yue Yuan thought it was enough for multiple people.

"One dose." Yi Kai replied immediately, while explaining, "Chief, the state of Human Body Overclocking is somewhat unexpected. To use the Kuntai People's Life Elixir, one must first inject the overclocking potion. In other words, only humans with the ability to Human Body Overclocking can use the Kuntai People's Life Elixir, and it will still be effective after exiting the overclocking state."

Yue Yuan nodded and said, "This is not a big problem. The Body Enhancement Technology we developed was originally intended for all of humanity to use."

Seemingly realizing he hadn't explained himself clearly, Yi Kai continued, "That's true, but the appearance of Human Body Overclocking state is... well, it's hard to explain. There are a few volunteers up ahead, Commander, come with me, you'll see for yourself."

What does "it's hard to explain in a few words" mean? Does it mean it can turn into a monster?

Will it grow a tail like the 'Tai' form of the Kuntai People, or will it have a hunched back like the 'Kun' form? Filled with curiosity, Yue Yuan followed Yi Kai and the others to the other end of the exhibition area. There, a railing blocked the way, and seven or eight steps led to a spacious area where three people seemed to be fiddling with various fitness equipment.

The fitness equipment on the Lyra is made using electromagnetic and magnetic field technologies, since there is no gravity here.

Yi Kai didn't go down. Instead, he put his hand on the railing and called out to the three people in front of him, "Xiao Huang, Lao Tie, A Mei, show the Chief your overclocking status."

Judging from Yi Kai's calls, there were two men and one woman.

Of course, there were actually more than just these three volunteers; there were others, but since the others were quite far away, Yi Kai called on the three closest to him.
