The New Shell (Part One)
"Little Woman No. 2" and Kermos are both partners of Dugo Technologies, but even they are unaware of how many cutting-edge technologies this emerging technology has paved the way for behind-the-scenes manipulation by DuTech.
Kermos, in particular, was shocked. She had personally given the "Sacred Tree" to the other party as a friendly symbol of cooperation between the "Ocean People" and the "Bio Hunters".
She had played a little trick at the time, choosing the most vulnerable sacred tree. However, the sacred tree now displays unprecedented vitality.
"All the radiated beast species that have been cloned, combined with this ancient biotechnology, are the greatest achievement of the No. 3 'Biological Weapon Modification Hall'."
Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of these two country bumpkins, the senior engineer's lips curled up slightly.
This second-order biotechnology is unique to Dugo Technologies; even in the Mother City, there is no such technology.
This is also his greatest source of confidence in regaining his strength and changing jobs.
What players perceive as a loss equivalent to "closing" their account is nothing to someone else.
Once the fifth-generation metal heart is cultivated, the construct and the X-type carbon-based reactor can be replicated.
He will soon possess a more advanced mechanical body.
And this 'tree' right now is also the key to his recovery of his biological body.
"The main reason I invited you two here today is to control it."
"I need to use the power of the 'Brain in a Vat' to create a network of miniature radiated beasts within my new organism."
"I also need the computing power of a 'large-scale biological computer' to merge these 'cloned fruits' into one, so that I can complete the transformation of all cloned organisms."
To be honest, without prior investment, if these two were to unleash their full potential, they'd be lucky if the other side didn't slap them in the face.
"You need all my 'Radiant Beast' data? You're asking for too much," 'Little Woman Number Two' complained.
"To be precise, I need data on all the radioactive beasts on this planet," the senior engineer said with a smile.
At the same time, she looked at Kermos and said, "After my biological repair is completed, the scientists of my group will go to sea to help you marine people plant this type of 'sacred tree' to assist you in transforming into marine people better and faster."
Kermos didn't say anything, but he was clearly tempted.
"Let's get started then."
As the mechanical gate closed, the group of scientists had already left, since what was about to happen was not suitable for children.
Kermos removed his clothes, revealing a green body resembling that of a 'Pandora native,' quite different from humans. For example, it lacked a chest, as ocean people are 'egg-bearing species,' and its limbs were long and slender, allowing it to reach a height of 3 meters.
Beams of blue light began to emanate from its body and quickly engulfed the giant laboratory. Stimulated by the blue light, the 'Sacred Tree', or more accurately, the 'Gene Ecological Beast', also grew the same blue patterns.
When the space here completely turned into a "blue ocean", Kermos swam to the edge of the tree trunk, which slowly opened up, revealing a human-sized opening, allowing her to crawl in.
After merging with the tree and entering the state of a "large-scale biological computer," all the "fruits" began to transform, turning into radiation beasts of various appearances and species. These radiation beasts grew rapidly, developing scales, horns, skin, heads, and tails, ranging from the lowest F-level to E-level, D-level, C-level, and B-level. There were even six enormous human figures burning with white flames, one of whom had a head full of red hair and a pair of bright red eyes that, even when obscured by flames, could not hide her terrifying gaze.
Class A Radiation Beast - Crimson Queen!
There are five more Class A radiation beasts like this.
"I'm about to go in too."
The baby engineer took off his children's watch and removed his diaper, then said in a serious tone, "Narrow."
"Be gentle with me; I'm still a virgin in this new body."
"Little Woman Number Two" rolled her eyes hard; she actually looked somewhat similar to the original Little Woman.
Virgin—
Standing in the monitoring room, watching the biological experiment closely, Director Du unconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and fell into deep thought.
The next moment, the senior engineer snapped his fingers, and the entire space seemed to be engulfed in flames.
As mentioned before, Dugo Technologies's technical level has not yet reached the level of cultivating "A-level" talents. Therefore, the senior engineer invited these two from afar to make up for the lack of technical expertise. As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation. We must grasp both aspects and make both aspects strong.
But there's another point: to achieve higher levels of evolution, what's most lacking is actually a massive amount of energy.
Once the "crust engine" is created, Dugo Technologies will officially have the conditions to manufacture Class A equipment.
Now, the high-level engineer's Collapse Entity, "Purple Energy String," can also provide a continuous source of energy.
Soon, under the burning of the space, the senior engineer disappeared.
At the same time, the tree trunks, hundreds of meters long, aged rapidly, and the 'radiation beasts' were like withered fruits, being absorbed in reverse.
Starting from the roots, a loud "digestion" sound rang out, and a humanoid figure slowly emerged from the middle of the tree trunk.
"The tide is receding," Dr. Yu said with certainty, crossing his arms.
In contrast to her, the other experts and scientists on the panel expressed utter astonishment at this phenomenon, pointing and commenting amongst themselves.
"There really is a second phase!"
"Is this why the Class A radioactive beasts caused the beast tide?"
"For evolution?"
"Yes, for evolution."
As Dugo Technologies's biotechnology continued to develop, they gradually discovered that the "beast tide" was not a simple burst of radiation energy, but rather consisted of two phases: the "high tide" and the "low tide".
Among them, the high tide period is what everyone thinks of as the beast tide, which is a regional energy tide movement led by A-level or S-level beast kings.
However, few people know that there is actually a "low tide period," and this low tide period is the only condition for an A-class radiation beast to advance to an S-class radiation beast.
"Through large-scale energy rejection, fission molecules that are not suitable for the body are expelled from the radiation energy."
"After completing the 'high tide,' it then uses its own bioenergy to actively absorb fission molecules, optimize its radiation genes, and complete the step towards a higher life form. Amazing, absolutely amazing!"
"Mr. G can actually tolerate this level of radiation!"
"The march of evolution never stops, and it will inevitably begin with us Dugo Technologies!"
"Rather than attributing it to the intelligence of advanced radiated beasts, I'm more inclined to believe it's an interaction between the ecological environment and animal growth."
In contrast to the scientists who were full of praise, there were also a few sour voices.
"If we have the money, we can build it too."
"I still believe that microbial evolution and biopharmaceuticals are the key to success."
Dr. Yu glanced at the two young people; they were observers from the Biological Mutation Society whom she had specially invited.
Compared to these naive young people, it's their mentors who are the ones she wants to win over.
Their involvement will accelerate the development of biotechnology.
Even without spending much resources, just letting them know that the Dugo Group has mastered the development of the S-class bloodline is enough to attract them to join in eagerly.
As an origin biologist, she had to tell everyone.
Orthodox evolution is the only true path!
At this moment, the status bar on the senior engineer's system panel began to refresh frantically.
[Your nervous system is being reset, at a rate of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%...]
[Your endocrine system is resetting, reset percentages are 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%...]
[Your circulatory system is being reset, at a rate of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%...]
[Your respiratory system is being reset, at a rate of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%...]
Meanwhile, the humanoid figures on the tree trunk began to resemble a senior engineer more and more, developing facial features and certain organs. Strangely, despite being a humanoid creature, it didn't feel human at all.
It's more like a radioactive beast.
An indescribable light emanated from the humanoid figure; it was not purple, not black, not even white, but a "black hole color."
Extreme light and extreme darkness merge together to create the light and color displayed by the senior engineer. Looking at it for too long can even cause one to unconsciously feel disoriented.
This is a color in the spectrum that cannot be distinguished by humans.
"Bite--"
[You have awakened an S-rank bloodline]
