"This is our third 'Biological Weapon Modification Hall'."

"This modification hall is considered quite advanced. Here, we conduct weaponization modifications on Class B radioactive beasts."

At this time, accompanying Kermos and Little Woman No. 2 were Dr. Yu and Dr. Dong Gang. Both of them were members of the Dugo Technologies Expert Group. Dr. Yu was a former member of the Biological Mutation Society, while Dr. Dong was an expert in neural networks recruited by the Gao Technology Group.

Dr. Dong pointed to a group of bomber eagles in the laboratory and said excitedly, "We have now completed the biological neural network simulation of 1,412 types of radiated beasts. This is our latest 'controllable biological weapon'."

"A controllable biological weapon?" 'Little Woman No. 2' asked curiously. "Similar to a drone?"

"You can think of it as a more advanced method of animal taming," Dr. Yu interjected, pressing a switch. Soon, the roof of the hall slowly opened, and in an instant, dozens of giant eagles flapped their wings and took off into the air amidst the powerful airflow, quickly turning into small black dots.

"Black Hawk Squadron, activate remote monitoring mode."

"Received," a cold voice rang out. The next moment, holographic projections lit up, displaying the surrounding environment of the "Dugo Headquarters".

"We modified Eagle Eye using satellite monitoring technology, enabling them to monitor at a distance of up to 10,000 meters even while moving at high speed."

"At the same time, we modified their wings and installed new auxiliary wings, which increased their bombing range to 6,000 kilometers, three times that of a small bomber."

"As for bombing weapons, we chose our self-developed air-to-ground biological bomb, which can destroy organisms over large areas..."

"I'm on vacation right now, so do you expect me to get overtime pay?" the cold voice said impatiently.

"It is—" 'Kermos' widened his eyes, clearly having discovered something.

"That's right, the one speaking is Captain Black Hawk of our Black Hawk Squadron. The one implanted in it is the latest version 0 biochip."

"Its intelligence and computing power have reached the level of intermediate AI."

"Little Woman No. 2" and "Kermos" exchanged a glance, both looking on in surprise.

Whether they are radiation-induced deformed species or mechanical bio-beasts, they are essentially wild beasts. Only high-level beings, such as A-level, have a certain chance of awakening intelligence and then managing their groups using a tribal-style management model.

If such "biochips" could become widespread, it is possible that overnight, an intelligent race of hundreds of millions could be born, with so many races and such a wide range that it would cover the entire planet.

The power of technology is truly terrifying!

However, Dr. Yu's words interrupted their fantasies, saying, "Currently, the 0 version of the biochip can only be implanted into B-level irradiated beasts, and there is a failure rate of nearly 50%. The production efficiency is also not high, so it cannot be widely used for the time being."

"Kermos" breathed a sigh of relief, while "Little Woman Number Two" clearly showed a look of disappointment.

"However, according to our expert team's prediction, when the first version of the biochip is launched, the production line will be fully completed, and output will not be an obstacle. At the same time, the coverage of the biochip will reach level C."

"Little Woman No. 2" lit up.

Class C radioactive beasts are equivalent to the middle level of the radioactive beast population, numbering in the hundreds of millions across the planet. The number of Class C radioactive beasts she controls is also in the tens of millions. If so many radioactive beasts simultaneously possess the intelligence of a mid-level AI, then it can be said that her mental power will instantly break through and reach the level of a planetary computer.

Then, when that time comes, she will truly be able to compete with the three major mother cities. Even the "war" cannot match her in terms of computation.

More importantly, intermediate-level AI can already replace scientists of normal skill levels.

This signifies the birth of a rising biological civilization, completely under its control!

Throughout the two PhDs' presentations, Gao remained a detached observer.

He always believed that, apart from wealthy women, all relationships, whether partnerships or friendships, were always based on the exchange of benefits.

He believed that as long as he threw out this bait, the other party would definitely take the bait.

"Next, we will demonstrate the controllable biological mode."

As Dong Gang spoke, all the holographic projections began to merge, revealing the full picture of this "biological bomber squadron." At the same time, a purple light surged from the body of "Black Hawk Captain," gradually enveloping the other bomber eagles. The purple light gradually began to mutate, entering other color modes.

Apart from the leader, who is a B-level, the other bombers in this formation are all C-level, which is consistent with outsiders' understanding of this C+ radiation beast species.

However, as the purple light enveloped all the radiant beasts, it gradually deepened to a darker purple and began to transform into black light.

"A beast tide!?"

"Little Woman No. 2" was stunned. She knew more about the beast tide than anyone else because she herself could start one. As far as she knew, the radiated beasts that could start a beast tide were at least A-grade, and their numbers had to reach a powerful level.

However, the scene before her completely overturned her understanding.

"We have studied beast tides, which is an energy resonance phenomenon. Its source is the resonance produced by different frequencies of radiant energy within the beast's body."

"This is also the biggest function of the 0 biochip: it can artificially adjust the energy frequency to match the 'resonance,' minimizing consumption and maximizing the efficiency of the 'beast tide,'" Dr. Yu added.

"Little Women Number Two" was shocked once again.

She came here mainly to repay the senior engineer's favor, since he had helped her more than once when she was young.

But to be honest, I don't think much of this "Dugo Technologies".

As the "Brain in a Vat," the power she now wields is far too great. She can easily unleash a beast tide of ten or even a hundred times the size that once occurred in the Iron Sand Desert.

In terms of military strength, she fears no one except the three major mother cities.

On a typical planet, this level of power would be enough for her to transform into Gaia and become one with the planet's will.

But on the planet Ji Lie, she could only obediently hide in the shadows and wait for her chance.

She didn't believe that "Dugo Technologies," which had developed almost alongside her, could have achieved this.

However, the other party displayed a power that shocked and even frightened her: the power of technology!

Within the holographic image, as the black light gradually dimmed, a shocking species appeared.

It was a creature with a wingspan of nearly 200 meters, at least 10 times larger than a typical bomber eagle. Each of its wings was as if it were composed of the original wings, with numerous wing joints. This perfectly designed flight structure must have been pre-set, and each joint was equipped with a special missile launcher.

"Rank A!" Kermos was shocked. Her true form was actually Rank A, but because she merged with the Sacred Tree and evolved into a large biological computer, she was promoted to Rank S.

"No, it's grade B, or more accurately, B+."

"Little Woman Number Two" stared intently at the tufts of feathers on the "Eagle King," where a patch of purple resembled a few lonely feathers on a programmer's head, fighting alone and refusing to give up.

Dr. Yu nodded, not exaggerating, but stating the facts. "With our technology, we are still quite far from being able to handle A-level radioactive beasts."

"Little Woman No. 2" looked down at the senior engineer and said, "I can feel your presence on it."

"Yes, biologists have also analyzed my cells and replicated some of the combined abilities of the 'Crimson Queen'."

The senior engineer did not hide anything.

"Come on, there's something even better I'm going to show you."

The group passed through the holographic projection and continued deeper into the hall. Inside the glass cases on both sides were various objects resembling 'spherical placentas,' varying in size, from as small as a thumb to as large as a house.

"We have to thank you for providing the data on various radioactive beasts; these are all cloned and replicated by us," the senior engineer explained.

"Little Woman Number Two" frowned but didn't say anything.

I don't really like cloning technology.

As they reached the deepest part, a massive, fleshy tree, laden with fruit, slowly rose up, revealing itself to the group.

"This, this is—" This time it was Kermos's turn to be shocked.

"We have restored the ancient 'bio-engineered building' through reverse bioengineering and added some new features," Dr. Yu said with burning eyes.
