Body One Hundred and Seventy-Five: Clone Body Knowledge

Base No. 2

Professor Han and his assistant, Xu Xiaoming, arrived at the senior engineer's territory.

Xu Xiaoming was a bespectacled young man in his early twenties. One of his eyes looked bright and piercing, while the other looked somewhat dull. This guy had one eye larger than the other.

According to Professor Han, this guy's brain is so developed that it has limited the space for the development of the cerebellum. Therefore, Xu Xiaoming is not good at anything related to sports, but he is a genius when it comes to things related to thinking.

"Professor, what should I say to the boss when I see him later?"

Xu Xiaoming was a little nervous when he met the legendary big shot for the first time.

Professor Han thought for a moment and said:

"Let's talk about cat ears, he should like that."

Xu Xiaoming's spirits lifted. "Really? The boss likes cat ears too?"

Professor Han glanced at the other person but ignored the young man.

Soon, the mechanical door opened, revealing a first floor of at least 500 square meters, where a full thirty mechs were placed. These mechanical monsters, four or five meters tall, made Xu Xiaoming shudder.

How can a real man not love mecha?

Sorry, Xu Xiaoming doesn't like it.

On the first floor, some mechs seemed to have reached the operational stage. The boss's protégé, Heri Wilder, was holding a megaphone and directing the mech operators not far away.

"Lift your left foot."

"Lift your right foot."

"Turn around."

As a remnant of the Empire, Professor Han had seen mechs before, but in his impression, Imperial mechs were known for being clumsy and bulky. The agility of the one in front of him exceeded his expectations.

He focused his gaze on the cockpit, or more precisely, on the electrode pads on the pilot's head. The electrode pads were densely packed on the head like plasters, with nerve fibers connecting to the processor above the cockpit.

"A mature neural-based piloting technology? The Age of Empires never developed that."

The identity of the descendant of the High-Tech Empire is already being vaguely mentioned outside.

But only Professor Han knew that this "descendant of the empire" was a complete fraud.

So he was actually quite curious about where the senior engineer got so many mature technical solutions, but he suppressed his curiosity.

The two went up to the second floor, where a prosthetic operating room was where the senior engineer was performing modification surgery on a mechanical hunter.

Once the 'Mechanical Weapon Modification Hall' is completed, these 'Hunter Modules' will be able to be installed autonomously, just like an unmanned factory. Right now, they still need to be manually operated by senior engineers.

This time, the 'Bird Module' was installed, equipped with equipment similar to a certain 'Falcon'. Its burst damage is not as strong as the opponent's, after all, high-energy blueprints such as the 'Reactor' have not yet been developed. However, the engineer referenced the abilities of a variety of flying creatures and added 'Stealth Mode', 'Electric Mode', and 'Exoskeleton Mode' to it. Among all the Hunter Modules, it and the Spider Module have the most transformation modes.

Soon, the senior engineer came out wiping his hands and gestured for the two to go to the office next door.

There is no secretary in the office. It's not that the senior engineer doesn't want one, but Director Du doesn't allow such a powerful person to exist.

"Once the advanced module is successfully operational, the secondary module can then enter mass production."

Each "Hunter Module" is a high-level piece of equipment, and there are requirements regarding the attributes and class of the user who will receive the module.

However, secondary modules do not need this.

For example, sub-modules of the spider module include spider armor, motion-sensing spider legs, and spider venom gun.

For example, the gorilla module includes a heavy robotic arm, heavy robotic feet, bio-engineered gorilla muscles, and gorilla rocket launchers.

Each "Hunter Module" can develop 3 to 5 sub-modules.

These are all considered "faction-specific products".

This is also the first step for high-tech companies to penetrate the weapons market.

Only a large number of users of basic weapons can find geniuses to enter the hunter profession.

Based on the experience of developing civilization in his previous life, Gao Gong knows that without players, civilization cannot develop and cannot keep up with version updates. However, relying solely on players is also not enough. As we all know, the Fourth Calamity has the talent of Lu Bu and the taste of Cao Cao.

They're the type who'd risk their life as soon as their health bar is revealed.

Professor Han handed over a thick stack of documents.

"All the advanced cells from the beast tide have been extracted, a total of 91 types, originating from different types of Class B radiated beasts..."

These cells, once artificially cultured, will form the basis for the production of advanced bio-plugins.

Professor Han gave Xu Xiaoming a look, and Xu Xiaoming quickly handed over another document.

"Boss, this is a basic model of our newly developed bio-armor, as well as a bio-weapon."

The senior engineer looked at the photo.

The bio-armor is blue, indicating that it is not the same formula used by the Xiao family. It only has five energy jet holes, making it relatively weak even among bio-armor of the same level.

As for the organ weapon, it is a bone spear with a sticky substance similar to "red liquid" on its surface. Based on the spear, it can transform into various weapons, such as scythes, spears, and whips.

This time, learning from the lesson of the "red liquid," the spear has biological suction holes. Once the switch is turned off, the suction holes will suck in the "breeding liquid" to prevent this thing from rebelling.

"Let's focus our development on colony weapons. In the competition with similar armor, we can't compete with the Xiao family's Black Body Military Industry."

"Yes, that's what my mentor and I think too," Xu Xiaoming said excitedly. "Moreover, we don't need to consider biological rejection when making weapons, so we can make our bio-weapons even more extreme."

Wild? You like cat ears, don't you?

Do you prefer sexy wildcats?

After Xu Xiaoming finished his report, Professor Han told him to wait outside.

Through the glass, the two saw Xu Xiaoming grinning foolishly as he approached Heri, only to be impatiently shooed away. The senior engineer suddenly said, "Do you really trust him? You just entrusted such an important task to him like that?"

The secondary modules are available for public sale, and the senior engineer has reached an agreement with "Mas Edge".

Even if the "Corpse Armor" were to be sold, it could only be sold on the dark web; it was a secret within a secret.

"I don't have much time left," Professor Han sighed. "I've been dreaming about my original self a lot lately."

Dreaming of your true self?

I thought androids only dreamed of electric sheep.

Carbon-based species will die, robots will die, and androids will die.

The only difference is that the robot's death is a system crash.

The death of an android is considered a "virtual personality breakdown".

Professor Han has been frequently in a daze lately, which is a sign of aging.

The senior engineer secretly curled his lip.

What a joke! How could we possibly kill you without using you for decades or even centuries?

Carbon-based species can extend their lifespan through bloodline advancement, and androids naturally also have ways to prolong their lifespan.

And coincidentally, he knew this method.

However, he doesn't intend to say.

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, their willpower is boundless. Let the other party, under the threat of 'death,' desperately contribute to the great cause of the empire.

[Your character - 1]

Fortunately, Professor Han quickly changed the subject, pulling out an implantation chamber that appeared to be the same model used in the research institute.

"The truly important information, in case I forget, is already inside."

The senior engineer put on the implantation device, and soon, a flood of knowledge came rushing in.

[You have obtained the maximum level of the profession knowledge [Cell Implantation]]

You have obtained the maximum level of the profession knowledge [Liquid Organisms]

[You have gained max-level job knowledge [Minor Parasitology]]

In the section on reproductive technology, three pieces of knowledge have been highlighted.

With the addition of the [Weapon Transplantation] profession knowledge, the field of body technology is already half-finished.

"As expected of a master of bionics, well done!"

It is more difficult to reverse-engineer knowledge than to reverse-engineer technology, because the prerequisite for reverse-engineering knowledge is that one must be a master in a certain field, so that one can draw inferences from similar fields.

"Work hard and try to develop as much information as possible about the reproductive technology before you die."

"When a person is about to die, his words are good. You should dedicate your limited life to the boundless cause of the empire."

Professor Han: "..."

Hey, I'm about to die, instead of telling me to eat and sleep, you're telling me to work hard?

Do you have any humanity left?

Just then, the doorbell rang. The senior engineer looked at the security camera and immediately jumped up.

"Go away, go away, get to work, get to work, don't even think about slacking off, or I'll be dancing on your grave and making you as loud as I can."

"..."

Professor Han and Xu Xiaoming were pushed and shoved out the door by the senior engineer, and Xu Xiaoming didn't even have a chance to discuss the art of cat ears with him.

After seeing the two men off, the senior engineer's expression changed. His smile became incredibly warm and kind, and he stood at a perfect 45-degree angle, like a Japanese waiter.

"Welcome, Director Du, to inspect our work. Please come in and have a seat. Heli, stop hiding under the mechs and come over for some tea."

Du Zhaodi rolled her eyes in a pretty way, which, combined with her slightly dark eye sockets, made her look strangely cute.

"Let me make it clear first, I still have a lot of work to do."

The senior engineer chuckled and pressed the other person into the boss's chair, then handed him a business registration form.

Dugo Technologies

"This is—" Du Zhaodi exclaimed in surprise.

This seemingly insignificant thing is actually a qualification certificate for a 'military contractor'.

Generally, there are two conditions for obtaining this certificate: one is a recommendation from a peer, and the other is accumulating enough contribution points in the home city.

The former is unlikely, and the latter is also quite difficult.

But the senior engineer got it done.

Du Zhaodi carefully looked at the certificate, which was less than two pages long and listed mecha technology, biotechnology, and mechanical modules.

It can be said that the most valuable things in the base are all stored inside.

And this Dugo Technologies is 100% owned by Director Du.

A fleeting look of emotion crossed Du Zhaodi's eyes, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Wouldn't it be better to give these things to her?"

"How could that be? With Director Du's talent, he's definitely a future industrial tycoon. As for that woman, just look at her last name to know how dark-skinned she is."

Du Zhaodi looked at the other person, pursed her lips, and after a long while, said, "Have dinner with me tonight."

"Okay, no problem."

The senior engineer happily took it.

After a while, Du Zhaodi suddenly pushed the other person away, her face slightly flushed, and said with disdain, "I don't like using second-hand goods."

"It's okay, I like using it. Second-hand items work just fine."

After their tender moment, Du Zhaodi suddenly said, "There's something I need to tell you."

"Um."

"I want to become the will of the machine."
