Super Mutation Factors and Fusion Warriors

He opened the cover. Inside was the material he had gradually compiled over the past period.

Based on some of the Previous Era data remaining in the Herrscher of Reason Core, combined with his own understanding of the original Honkai Impact 3rd story and this world, he had made a preliminary analysis of the Super Mutation Factor's principles, mechanisms, applicable conditions, and potential risks.

The essence of the Super Mutation Factor was a Biological Augmentation Agent. By injecting the human body with certain latent special gene fragments—namely, Honkai Beast gene fragments—and activating them, it allowed an individual to gain physical abilities and Honkai adaptability far beyond those of ordinary people.

In the Previous Era's system, this was one of the core technologies of the "Fusion Warrior" project: integrating the gene fragments of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast into the human body to grant it powerful Honkai resistance and adaptability.

Or, more precisely, this technology had two different approaches.

Becoming a Fusion Warrior generally relied on surgery. Later, in order to rapidly produce Fusion Warriors, Mei created a Super Mutation Factor synthesis agent called "Meta-Morph." These agents injected Honkai Beast genes into the body, allowing suitable candidates to quickly become Fusion Warriors.

The difference was that the former's fusion was more complete, and the Fusion Warriors it created were generally stronger. The latter was relatively more stable and safer, but fully activating the power of the Super Mutation Factor depended on luck.

But no matter how one looked at it, the side effects of this thing were actually quite obvious.

According to the information he possessed, the activation process of the Super Mutation Factor was highly unpredictable.

For example, when Siegfried Kaslana used the Super Mutation Factor Activator, the first use merely caused his body to undergo beastification. By the second use, he had almost completely lost his reason and become a berserker who could only attack Honkai creatures.

Fu Hua did not activate the Super Mutation Factor and evolve into a Fusion Warrior until she was on the brink of death, but serious side effects appeared afterward as well.

Mo Yuan closed the file, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes for a while.

He did indeed have the Golden Dragon King's blood in his possession.

It had been extracted from Tang Wulin. Its purity was extremely high, and its energy level far surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Beast.

If the Golden Dragon King's blood were used as a foundation and modified with Super Mutation Factor Technology, then in theory, it could indeed rapidly grant power far beyond that of an ordinary Soul Master.

The problem was that he only had the Golden Dragon King's blood. He did not have a complete Super Mutation Factor sample, nor did he have the stable formulas refined through countless iterations in the Previous Era.

He could use the [Analysis] authority on the Golden Dragon King's blood, but that would take time. He needed to completely analyze the Golden Dragon King's genetic structure, energy characteristics, compatibility boundaries with human genes, and the possible rejection reactions.

This was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

In that case, perhaps he could try using other Soul Beasts and see whether he could create a Super Mutation Factor reagent. If he succeeded, it would also be a way to gain strength. After all, ordinary people still made up the majority of this world.

Mo Yuan stored the file deep inside the Storage Soul Tool. For the time being, he set the matter aside.

It would not be too late to consider it after the analysis of the Golden Dragon King's blood reached a higher level of completion, and after he had a more complete experimental platform and a more reliable stabilizer formula.

Half a month later.

In the laboratory on the fourth floor of the East Suburban Industrial Zone, Mo Yuan stood before an independent workbench. In front of him was a miniature array engraving device he had built himself.

This device was two orders of magnitude more precise than any he had used before. He had directly shaped every turn of the core components with the [Reconstruction] authority, achieving nanometer-level accuracy.

He had spent only fourteen days.

The first seven days were used to optimize the topology of the Spatial Locking Array. He disassembled and reverified all nine layers of the spatial locking array one by one, confirming their stability limits on a miniature scale.

The middle five days were used to debug the engraving device's temperature compensation system and energy output curve. The array's precision requirements were too high; any minute thermal expansion or contraction would cause the spatial structure to collapse.

During the final two days, he completed the actual engraving.

At that moment, a round crystal core approximately two and a half centimeters in diameter lay in the center of the workbench. It was thinner than a coin.

It was completely transparent, with pale blue spatial radiance faintly flowing within. Under the light, it refracted into scattered points of radiance, like a compressed patch of starry sky trapped inside a piece of glass.

Mo Yuan reached out and picked it up. It felt cold and smooth against his fingertips.

He used [Analysis] to confirm the stability of the internal spatial structure once more. All nine locking arrays were operating normally, and a portion of the pure Soul Power he had input in advance had already been sealed inside the subspace.

The first Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core was complete.

He did not linger. He took the crystal core and left directly.

Half an hour later, Chen Xinjie appeared outside his office.

Chen Xinjie carefully accepted the core, raised it before his eyes, and examined it for a long time. He turned it over and over to inspect it from every angle, then lightly tapped the surface of the crystal core with his finger. The sound was clear and lingering, like striking an extremely small bell.

"This thing..." Chen Xinjie's voice was a little lower than usual. "How much can it store?"

"The standard version has a maximum storage capacity roughly equivalent to the total full Soul Power of a ninety-first-ranked Titled Douluo. Multiple units can be connected in parallel. In theory, there's no upper limit," Mo Yuan said. "You can take it for testing. Tell me the results once the data is available."

Chen Xinjie carefully placed the crystal core into a metal box lined with soft padding, closed the lid, and then looked up at Mo Yuan. "I didn't expect you to complete it in just half a month. Truly..."

Chen Xinjie fell silent for two seconds, then nodded.

"In any case, once the test results are out, I'll have someone send the report to you."

Three days later, Chen Xinjie's test report arrived in Mo Yuan's hands.

The report was short. Its conclusion consisted of only one line: "Energy storage density far exceeds that of all existing models. Output stability meets requirements. Immediate mass-production evaluation is recommended."

After reading the report, Mo Yuan placed it in a drawer.

Then he activated the Soul Tool terminal and opened the Federation corporate registration system.

He entered four words in the company-name field and pressed the submit button.

"Anti-Entropy Technology."

It was time to have a public-facing company handle his existing assets.

After completing the registration process according to the instructions, he sat back down before the workbench, printed out the registration receipt, and placed it in a newly purchased folder.

All that remained was to wait for the Federation government to stamp its approval.

Mo Yuan stretched and muttered, "I didn't expect this trip to take so much time. It's about time I went back to Aolai City for a look. Then I'll make a trip to Eastsea City..."

He planned to establish his own forces in Eastsea City and make it his base of operations.
