Cultivating Super Variant Spiders!

While the learning curve for the knowledge and practical application of decay rate algorithms was difficult for most, for Dilos, who possessed a vast foundation of advanced biological knowledge, it was a task that took less than a day. Moreover, after these days of systematic study, Dilos was finally able to decipher the research notes in Richard Parker's notebook.

Thus, it wasn't long before Dilos became fully involved in Dr. Connors' research.

However... you never know until you try, and once you do, you realize just how miserable a task it is.

Even though Dilos' knowledge was now comprehensive enough to understand the vast majority of the research notes in Richard Parker's notebook, and even though there was sufficient equipment and material here to develop a cross-species serum in minutes, the missing piece was inputting the correct decay rate algorithm into the simulator to model the biological digital model.

This was the most troublesome part: the variables in cross-species transplantation were endless. Based on a single inferred decay rate algorithm, there were tens of thousands of possible gene implantation pairings. Their job was to test every single method for every decay rate algorithm they inferred.

This was a nightmare for Dilos. Facing hundreds of thousands of failed results for three or four consecutive days was no small feat; even someone as mentally resilient as him felt somewhat crushed by the sheer volume of failure.

Was I being arrogant because of my recent achievements, thinking I could reverse-engineer that heaven-defying decay rate algorithm Richard Parker derived in such a short time?

Dilos thought with a touch of self-mockery. He looked at Dr. Connors, who was still continuously running algorithm simulations on the simulator, and a deep sense of admiration rose in his heart. He could barely stand it after a few days, yet Dr. Connors had persisted for so many years.

No, I can't wait any longer. This is too much of a waste of time.

After much deliberation, Dilos gritted his teeth and abandoned his immature idea, deciding to first use Richard Parker's algorithm to create a serum tailored to himself.

At night, when Dr. Connors intended to rest, Dilos began his plan. He mentioned to Dr. Connors that he wanted to stay in the lab a bit longer to study. The latter didn't think much of it and agreed to Dilos' request.

Once Dr. Connors finally went to rest and Dilos finally had the chance to be alone, he couldn't wait to input the correct decay rate algorithm he held in his mind into the simulator, establishing over a dozen sets of implantation pairings for other biological gene data based on his own ideas.

At the same time, he used the virtual interface to adjust the priority of these gene implantations, ensuring that after successful implantation, they would prioritize protein uptake before establishing an immune response, thus preventing unwanted mutations in the experimental subject's body.

"System test ready." As the simulator's prompt sounded, Dilos pressed the start button.

The test began quickly. Dilos sat in his chair, patiently watching the simulator inject the inferred implantation pairings—along with the dozen sets of genetic digital data he had created and other genetic data—into a digital model of a spider.

That's right, a spider, not a lizard, a mouse, or anything else. Although Dr. Connors' main research here was cross-species lizard research, there was still some genetic data left over from when Richard Parker had cultivated mutant spiders years ago.

Dilos intended to use this genetic data, combined with parts of the notebook from his memory, to emulate Richard Parker's methods from back then. He would create a super-mutant spider that was stronger in every aspect and use the venom serum from this super spider to genetically modify himself!

Thinking of the scene where he became stronger after success, a glimmer of hope appeared in Dilos' eyes. His strength was simply too insignificant for a future world filled with gods and super-powered beings. What was the point of relying solely on internal martial arts to push human potential to its limit? It might barely suffice to handle the early disasters on this Earth, but later on, he would be nothing more than a background character.

Therefore, Dilos had to become stronger. He had to use this modification to break through the limits of the human body and achieve an even greater... evolution!

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

"Waiting, experiment failed."

Every time he heard that the experiment had failed, a trace of anxiety rose in Dilos' heart. Yet, he suppressed it, because the more critical the moment, the less he could afford to be impatient. The more anxious he became, the easier it was for things to go wrong!

Dilos gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at the biological simulation on the simulator screen, waiting anxiously.

"Experiment successful, accepting gene pairing method number 1,231,641."

Hearing the simulator's prompt, Dilos felt for the first time that this sound was incredibly pleasant.

Waiting was long, especially now; every minute and every second felt like an eternity to Dilos. That was why he felt so happy when the electronic prompt of the simulator told him the experiment was a success.

"It worked!"

Dilos was so excited he almost jumped up. To be honest, he didn't have much certainty that this experiment would succeed. Because on top of the original genetic data, he had added implantation groups from other organisms. For example, he had combined and paired the genes of large natural felines like the Siberian Tiger and ants, testing them one by one.

The astonishing agility, high-strength bones, terrifying explosive power, endurance, and super-vision of these natural felines... along with the ability of ants to lift four hundred times their own body weight—all of it made Dilos covetous.

Dilos wanted these advantages, because once he possessed them, he would have the capital to change his future situation!

Thinking this, Dilos couldn't help but swallow hard in excitement. However, he didn't rush to create the serum based on this data to inject into the test spiders. Instead, he recorded the successful gene pairing method and continued to wait for the simulator to test the remaining inferred implantation methods.

Dilos still hoped that this decay rate algorithm would yield more viable gene implantation methods. After all, the ultimate goal of this research was to modify the human body; having more successful reference data would be more beneficial for the research.

In the end, the algorithm did not disappoint Dilos. The simulation tests confirmed that although only two of the additionally added gene combinations were viable, there were over twenty implementable implantation methods for these two combinations!

Next, I will follow some of Richard Parker's ideas from the movie, combining my own genetic data from my blood with them. The mutant spiders cultivated this way will provide a venom serum that, when injected into my body, should theoretically reduce rejection to almost zero. Then, I can slowly modify my body, allowing it to gain the abilities of these creatures without changing my outward appearance.

Thinking this, a smile of excitement hung on Dilos' face. He took out a syringe, drew a few tubes of his own blood, placed them into the instrument for analysis, and then re-paired the genetic data with the twenty-plus viable implantation methods, continuing the simulation tests...

The experiment continued until the next morning.

When Dilos, sporting a pair of dark circles under his eyes and looking somewhat lethargic, quietly placed a sealed culture container holding a dozen experimental spiders under his bed, he looked at the spiders in the petri dish that had calmly begun to change after inhaling the pale yellow atomized serum, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

It met the expected experimental results; he had succeeded!
