For Qin Ze, the key to replication lies in the "high-energy impact" stage.
The "powerful shock" in the research institute was achieved using a small, controlled nuclear fusion device.
Unfortunately, in reality, Qin Ze couldn't make it by hand.
Besides controlling large electronic devices, the astral body has no other important uses.
In terms of combat, they can't even keep up with one foot of the Ghost Type.
To replicate the spirit separation in the research institute, the right timing, location, and people are all indispensable.
thump thump thump--
As Qin Ze pondered, there was a knock on the door.
" Brother Ze, he's going downstairs for a meeting. He's probably heading back to Sea Capital."
The fat man said from outside the door.
Sea Capital, a research institute.
Good morning, Professor Lin.
"Good morning."
Early in the morning, Lin Siyao swiped her card to enter and responded to the greetings from the researchers passing by.
Since arriving in Sea Capital, Lin Siyao has quickly become a star in the research community thanks to her beautiful appearance and outstanding scientific research ability.
Countless male researchers secretly flirted with her.
"Professor Lin, do you have time tonight?"
"A new restaurant just opened on South Street. Shall we go grab a bite after work?"
A male researcher blocked Lin Siyao's way.
Lin Siyao smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, Professor's project has recently entered a critical stage, and I really can't get away."
The man sighed regretfully, "Alright then, maybe next time."
Lin Siyao nodded slightly, brushed past him, and a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.
"Teacher, I'm here."
Lin Siyao swiped the card to open the door to Laboratory No. 1.
Professor Chen, with his temples streaked with gray, looked deeply troubled.
Project Zero has failed.
Lin Siyao was taken aback. "Didn't they say there was progress just a couple of days ago?"
Professor Chen took off his glasses and rubbed his temples with both hands.
" Sea Capital Law Enforcement discovered the research institute."
" Old Zhao was arrested, and Project Zero was designated as a crime against humanity and prohibited from being restarted."
Lin Siyao scoffed, completely unconcerned. "I already thought it was unreliable, so let's just ban it."
Professor Chen said, "Currently, the autonomous capabilities of humanoid combat weapons cannot be further improved; only by combining with spirits can they quickly form combat power."
Lin Siyao frowned. "Why don't we start researching AI?"
Professor Chen shook his head. "It's taking too long; we can't wait that long."
"Besides, I wasn't originally an AI developer. I took over weapons development midway through, so I couldn't dedicate more time to AI."
Immediately, the master and apprentice fell into a long silence.
Professor Chen put his glasses back on and looked up at Lin Siyao.
" Xiao Lin, what are your thoughts on our current Humanoid Combat Weapon Project?"
Lin Siyao thought for a moment, "The key to fighting the Abyss."
There was one more thing she didn't say: she was counting on this project to turn her fortunes around.
The failure of the Mutated Ones project left her feeling like a stray dog, slinking away from Jiang City in disgrace.
Now, she has devoted all her energy to the development of humanoid combat weapons, and naturally does not want to repeat the failure of the Jiang City Mutated Ones project.
Professor Chen smiled slightly, " Xiao Lin, I have an important task for you."
Lin Siyao said seriously, "Professor, please go ahead."
This year's field training camp was the shortest ever, lasting less than a day.
Teacher Wang held another meeting with the students in the hotel auditorium this morning, and his face showed signs of exhaustion.
At the meeting, Teacher Wang apologized to everyone and gave each student a two F-grade Soul Orb as compensation.
This training camp resulted in numerous student injuries and deaths.
Apart from the professional teams, other school teams all suffered injuries or deaths to varying degrees.
After the meeting, everyone may return to school on their own.
After discussing it, Teacher Song and Qin Ze decided to return to Sea Capital today, since there was nothing else to do if they stayed in Shi'an.
The squad leader and Fang Songhua came to see them off.
Third Brother's injuries were very serious; he practically survived. He's still in the hospital, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to participate in the upcoming Hundred Schools Competition.
" Qin Ze, I'll be waiting for you on the field!" The class monitor clenched her fist.
Qin Ze smiled and said, "Alright, but class monitor, you must go easy on me then."
Now quiet and reserved Fang Songhua only utters one sentence. "Goodbye."
Qin Ze nodded. "Goodbye."
The bus started moving, and the squad leader and Fang Songhua watched it drive away until it disappeared from sight.
The squad leader reluctantly withdrew his waving hand and whispered, "We'll meet again, won't we?"
Fang Songhua replied, "It definitely will."
Inside the car, the professional team had lost the excitement they had when they arrived.
Although the training camp ended early, everyone still learned a lot of new things in the theoretical classes.
After returning to Sea Capital, I'll have enough time to process everything.
In the key chat group, Brother Yuanzi was telling everyone the investigation results.
It was exactly the same as what Qin Ze saw in the CPU logs, with no difference.
[ Yao Yuan: Such a big incident occurred on the very first appearance after the deployment of the Mobile Team. The opposition in the Council will make a big fuss about it, which will be a huge problem for the company.]
[ Yao Yuan: Experiments involving spirits are now completely prohibited. All data on Qin Ze's spirit leaving his body has been sealed. The Fairy and the Taoist can tell Qin Ze to rest assured.]
Qin Ze didn't care; it would be even better if the company came to him, in which case he would be very cooperative.
Whichever research institute comes to arrest him, that institute will become his.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I've already told him.]
[ Passerby A: So, Little Deer, what was your impression of meeting up with the other two?]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: The Fairy is very strong, the Little Deer is very cute]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: The Little Deer is so soft and easy to stick to!]
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo:(⑅˃◡˂⑅) Everyone is a very nice person]
Qin Ze smiled.
It appears to be a gathering of three people, but in reality, it's a gathering of four.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Speaking of which, we encountered Circus at the research institute. They were very powerful, with two level-four leaders and a powerful, elusive monster.]
[ Passerby A: The Circus is here too?]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: What a coincidence, I'm drinking with the Northern Territory Circus right now]
[ Passerby A: The Northern Territory Circus isn't that strong; the members are generally around level one, only the leader is level five.]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: The Circus is a bit chaotic, but it has a kind of kindness about it; a bunch of oddballs]
Qin Ze left the chat group.
He was becoming increasingly interested in the Circus in the Northern Territory and longed to meet the Clown deputy Troupe Leader.
"It seems we need to move the trip to the Northern Territory sooner rather than later, especially since Fatty's mental strength is about to break through."
With nothing else to do, Qin Ze took out two F-grade Soul Orb to absorb.
They've all been purified, so you can eat them without worry.
Qin Ze skillfully tossed one of the pills into his mouth and swallowed it forcefully.
Speaking of which, different Soul Orb taste different.
Grade F is slightly astringent, while Grade S is a bit bitter at first, but has a slight sweet aftertaste.
Seeing Huai Xu's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "Boss, who taught you to absorb Soul Orb like this?"
