Planetary Gene Stitching Network

"You, you, you—"

Seeing Tong's dumbfounded expression, the senior engineer shrugged and said, "It seems the moral chip is no longer up to my moral standards. What do you think?"

In a flash, the handsome man before Tong disappeared, replaced by a mass of flesh and blood. The surrounding environment vanished as well, along with eyeballs, tentacles, blood, fungi, corrosive liquid, teeth, and mechanical monsters buried within the flesh and blood.

The senior engineer smiled slightly, and between his teeth seemed to be different faces.

Tong left dejectedly, and it's unlikely he'll bother him anytime soon.

"Ghost in the Shell Mobile Unit, huh," the senior engineer muttered to himself.

This secret department actually has quite a few experts, but apart from Motoko Yagami and that old man Aramaki, there are very few people he truly fears.

However, the trouble lies in the fact that they have an elite special forces team. The mechanical beings in this unit are all level 50, and like Motoko Yagami, they can mobilize the planet's weapon system, legion system, and air-ground system at any time. Getting entangled with them is very troublesome.

Without Rose's prompting, Engineer Gao would have at least performed a memory modification surgery on these two this time.

But now, we'll just scare them away.

He has more important things to do.

First, upgrade the [Mutant Gene Map] and [Clock Encapsulation] to level 10.

The two unlocked career traits are 'Genetic Mutation Enhancement' and 'Alien Encapsulation', respectively.

Enhancement through gene mutation: Many people believe that mutation is a form of evolution that is uncontrollable and prone to getting out of control. However, in fact, mutation itself can also evolve.

Alien Encapsulation: Just as grafting can occur between plants and organ transplantation between organisms, encapsulation can also occur between organisms from different planets.

This encapsulation technology refers to sealing organs from different species into a sealed container. The special environment created by this container allows different types of organs to fuse rapidly, growing into something even more dangerous.

Then the senior engineer opened the "Rewards" section.

There are some very special things in this.

Gene fragments - 70

Bloodline Fragments - 30

Alien gene chains - 3

Thanks to the Cloud Aristocracy's "foreign worship," most of these gene fragments and bloodline fragments are alien products.

The three complete gene chains are: 'Blue-blooded Humans', 'Fiber Cluster Life', and 'Carbon-based Fluid Biology'.

The three are described as follows.

Blue-blooded people: As a half-carbon-based, half-information life form, the Blue-blooded people are known in the Robert Galaxy for their mysterious temperament and obscure language. Through the hard work of interstellar traffickers, some space pirate forces dissected the bodies of the Blue-blooded people and obtained their secrets. It turns out that the blood of the Blue-blooded people contains special information substances, which allow them to often sense the existence of higher dimensions.

Fiber Cluster Life: A purely thinking life form, whose fiber clusters bloom across the surface of an entire planet, and are among the few beings capable of devouring the planet's will.

Carbon-based fluid life: Not all carbon-based life forms are arthropods. In fact, fluid life forms are more likely to survive in high-temperature, high-radiation, and extremely cold environments, even though they are often scornfully called "snotty creatures" or "giant collections of bacteria".

"Ha, these three are typical examples of overpaid but incompetent individuals."

If nothing unexpected happens, the Cloud Nobles have paid a considerable price for these three gene chains.

It's safe to say they were scammed.

Bloodline rank cannot be faked. These three bloodlines are all standard "Level 3 Civilization Bloodlines," the kind that can reach ascension.

However, among third-tier bloodlines, they are rare examples of trash bloodlines.

Blue-blooded beings sound impressive, being half carbon-based and half information-based, but in the universe, they are notorious 'galactic fraudsters,' 'pyramid scheme leaders,' and 'fortune tellers.'

The 'special pheromones' in their blood do indeed enable them to have higher-dimensional perception, but this perception is intermittent and incomplete, making it difficult to apply. This also leads to a strong metaphysical atmosphere within their civilization, but a relatively underdeveloped level of technology—everyone is a master of metaphysics.

As for fibrous life, it sounds even more impressive, capable of devouring the will of a planet. The seller might even claim that it can nurture Gaia or rule-based life.

Theoretically speaking, it's not impossible.

The problem is that fibrous bundle life is a typical form of social life, with its life units measured in "hundreds of millions". To cover an entire planet, the number of fibrous bundles needed would be hundreds of millions to the power of N.

As an individual, what good is it if you only implant a portion of the cells into the fiber plexus?

As for the "carbon-based fluid life form," besides its formidable alien survival ability, its greatest purpose is actually to look good.

Their crystal-clear, dazzling form, more radiant than diamonds, and impervious to boiling or burning, was indeed quite attractive and, for a time, became a symbol of status for interstellar noblewomen—until their genetic structure was deciphered by advanced civilizations, and fluid cells could be mass-produced.

Of course, in terms of appearance alone, these three types of third-tier bloodlines are unparalleled: the blue-blooded people are full of prestige, the fibrous clusters are domineering and powerful, and the fluid creatures are dazzling.

In short, it perfectly matches the aesthetic standards of the nouveau riche.

The senior engineer shook his head, sighed, and thought to himself that "tycoon boss Yun" is easily brainwashed by consumerism.

Does appearance matter?

Of course it's important!

Being good-looking is the first step to hooking up with a rich woman!

!

Once the biochemical experimental base on Fuqing Island is built, the senior engineer's first step will be to replicate these three alien bloodlines.

The key point is that while others show off for a soft reason, he shows off for the real reason, which is a hard reason.

Rich women are great, they're beautiful and fragrant, and they even give you money to spend. What's wrong with doing something for them?

His target was not these three bloodlines, but these hundreds of fragments.

Genetic Modulation Initiated—

Genetic modification: Capable of autonomously manipulating gene fragments, synthesizing gene chains, and creating synthetic organisms; the success rate of gene fusions is increased by 50%.

The next moment, these hundreds of gene fragments transformed into hundreds of points of light, revolving around the senior engineer, with various genetic information and genetic codes rushing towards him.

Cell enhancement, gene editing, energy infusion, and the previously activated 'gene mutation enhancement' and 'alien encapsulation' were all fully utilized, along with the five max-level knowledge profession traits, which barely managed to stabilize this genetic information.

Countless pieces of information converged in the senior engineer's mind.

Every brilliant scholar on the path of evolution will enter this stage.

It is often these flashes of inspiration from these individuals that create the miracle of "artificial evolution".

The senior engineer didn't have a sudden flash of inspiration.

But he can plagiarize.

The person she plagiarized was none other than her nemesis from her previous life, the Queen of Blades.

Compared to the simple and crude implantation of the Broodblood into the fifth-generation Miller, what the senior engineer wanted to do back then was to replicate the entire Zerg technology.

This plan was still in progress until the time he traveled through time.

In this process, he did not come away empty-handed. For example, based on the Zerg's racial characteristic of "assimilation of all races," he developed a similar ability.

This ability is equivalent to a smaller version of "assimilation of all races," which involves cleverly fusing the genes of various alien races to stitch them together.

This suturing technique can greatly reduce rejection spikes along the fusion path.

Based on the previous two fusions, the senior engineer was 100% certain that once he broke through level 20 and mechanical energy and biological energy began to merge, the process would definitely go wild.

This is probably no less difficult than a hellish mission.

Therefore, it is still necessary to reduce the difficulty of the task.

Fortunately, these gene fragments gave the senior engineer a way to deal with them.

Otherwise, he really planned to go into seclusion for a month or two and tough it out by relying on various methods to reduce rejection.

No matter which path you choose, none of them will present a significant hurdle like the fusion path, where every 10 levels present a major challenge.

[Fusion complete. You have researched the Level 16 biological blueprint: [Planetary Gene Stitching Network]]

The maximum level for blueprints in a Level 1 civilization is Level 5, and for a Level 2 civilization it is Level 10. Level 16 blueprints exceed the maximum level of the Cyber Test Site.

Planetary Gene Stitching Network: Creates a genetic ecosystem in a short time using the genes of organisms from different planets to suppress genetic trait rebellions.

Suppressing genetic trait riots is the most powerful ability of the Mihari protozoa. It is through this method that the Queen of Blades has suppressed countless civilizations, gained tens of thousands of servant races, and acquired vast technological resources.

"To turn blueprints into a physical object, you need to buy blank cells, editable genes, cell debuggers, gene bonding machines, biological culture media..."

"Can you gather all these things on the black market?"

"However, there is someone who should be able to help me."

The next day, the senior engineer got up very early and went straight to the black market he was familiar with.

They searched three different places, but all of them were deserted. One of the underground black markets even showed obvious signs of a fight.

The two security guards noticed that the engineer was acting strangely and even glanced at him a few more times, but when they saw the 'implantation mark' on the back of his head, they looked away.

The senior engineer returned to the former headquarters of the Welfare Gang, the seafood restaurant, which is now deserted.

"Sir, where are the people inside?"

The old man drinking tea by the door looked up, adjusted his glasses, and sighed, "They've all run away! They've all run away! If they don't run now, they'll be dead!"

"They ran away?" the senior engineer muttered to himself. There were only about twenty of Daisy and her group. If they were really scattered throughout the City That Never Sleeps, they would be hard to find.

Why did they run away?

The old man looked at the senior engineer with a complicated expression, raised his chin, and the senior engineer turned his head and saw a holographic television broadcasting the news.

"Currently, the moral reconstruction of citizens in the outer city and the old city has been completed. Now, only the Santo Domingo district and the Demi-human continent remain. Due to the special nature of these two districts, the Virtual Union Enterprise and the Machine Brain will send representatives to negotiate and complete the final moral work."

The senior engineer grunted in response, said nothing more, and went straight home.

It was a wasted trip all morning.

"Forget it, let's go online. It's been a long time since I've seen Boss Gao."

As soon as I connected to the internet, I received some very unfortunate news.

Gaokesi has disappeared.
