Global Crossing: Empire of Stars - Section 766

At the same time, we're working closely with the Army Research Institute under the Academy of Sciences to develop equipment suitable for assault troops. The latest generation of Storm Power Armor has seen significant improvements in both reaction speed and combat effectiveness."

The completion of the Gene Modification Project and the achievement of Gene Ascension by the entire population didn't mean there was no room for further progress. On the contrary, technology had no limits, and the Empire's biotechnology advanced every day. The gene engineering technology intended for the general population alone had already been updated three times.

Once a new gene template had been confirmed safe, it was sent to the Medpod30000 units in people's homes. Citizens could activate it in their spare time to improve their physical condition.

Compared with the original template, the third-generation gene template was more stable and increased basic physical ability by around five times. Every citizen of the Empire was now like a legendary Kryptonian, able to fly through the air, burrow underground, and wield immense strength. They also possessed all kinds of biological abilities that greatly benefited both daily life and production.

Apart from the universal templates, Lin Zhichen knew that the Biological Research Institute run by Li Murong had developed several different branches of human enhancement. Those doing intellectual work focused more on developing and utilizing the brain, while the military prioritized reaction speed. Engineers, meanwhile, focused on endurance and adaptability.

These and other gene engineering projects were still being researched. Once they were perfected, Imperial citizens would be able to quickly switch to a personal gene template suited to their occupation, then switch back whenever they needed to.

Equipment followed a similar pattern. Both the Army's gear and the Space Force's warships had dedicated research departments overseeing them. Based on
