Verification

Compared to the laboratories of the Scarlet Alliance State, the laboratories of the Thousand Islands Alliance are undoubtedly outdated in many ways.

This is not merely a matter of outdated equipment, but rather a comprehensive lag in the development of supporting technologies for gene research.

Only through this direct and positive comparison could Zhang Xuezhou and others realize that the Scarlet Alliance State was still a long-established power.

Although the Scarlet Alliance State seems to be facing various contradictions, this is only because Zhang Xuezhou is in Western Capital City. Anyone who goes deep into the high-level affairs of other countries will find that these countries also have various problems.

Turcolando's laboratory is a high-end laboratory in the Thousand Islands Alliance. Its experimental equipment is only slightly better than Zhang Xuezhou's laboratory, but inferior to Luo Burang's laboratory.

It would undoubtedly be very difficult to research and develop anything special in such a laboratory.

Despite nearly half a year of research, Turcolando has not made much progress. Various experimental tests have repeatedly failed. His desire to leap into the Seventh Sequence, or even reach the higher levels he dreams of, is missing the most crucial piece of the puzzle.

She wasn't the type to hoard her own possessions; otherwise, she wouldn't have collaborated with Ren Yisheng back then.

However, the era did not enter the age of embryonic development as they had imagined; instead, it took a special turn towards genetic development.

Genetic development has its own needs, but currently it is more often presented as a force of international contention, forcing various forces to compete in it and constantly pushing towards unknown directions of human evolution.

If a company is already lagging behind in development, and it tries to cover it up, then it deserves to lag behind.

Correspondingly, she kept some secrets from domestic competitors, but was extremely open with these unexpected guests from the Scarlet Alliance State, even engaging in discussions with them.

Zhang Xuezhou and his group were very young, but Turcolando knew very well that they possessed a rudimentary laboratory in North Jehol. Anyone who showed interest in something was bound to have discovered its secrets.

"Have you discovered something?" Turkelando laughed. "If we make a remarkable discovery, we can cooperate and achieve mutual benefit!"

"How could I possibly discover anything the first time I've seen these beads?" Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and laughed. "This is my second time here to exterminate these alien insects. I'm quite interested in these ordinary creatures that have transformed into near-ferocious monsters, and I'm also looking for the reason behind their power!"

The Zerg lack civilization and their intelligence is not high. The same ability in the Zerg is one thing, but in humans it would be another.

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't particularly interested in how the abilities of the alien insects could be transferred to humans, but he was quite interested in the commonalities between the alien insects' cores and demon cores.

If possible, he would like to obtain a fresh kernel for research.

Zhang Xuezhou's research does not require instruments. As long as a fresh core is found, basic identification can be made through methods such as observation, smell, and sensing with magical Law Power.

Once he can determine that the core of this alien insect has similarities to the demon core, he can find the most important ingredient to replace the Creation Pill.

"These alien insects have significant physical defects, but their individual strength is no less than that of Qin Meng's ferocious beasts," Turkelando said. "I suspect that these are not ancient biological variants left over from special circumstances, but rather that they have evolved through some method!"

"You mean they can use Soul Jade to evolve their bodies?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"I can't be sure, but rational speculation tells me it's very likely," Turkelando said. "I even suspect that this vast land of the Tur people might be hiding some unknown secret!"

"If there are really thousands or tens of thousands of millipedes and giant white worms hiding underground, then you're in big trouble," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"There is trouble, but it's not like we can't deal with it," Turkelando said. "Once these alien insects break through the ground, it's actually easier to deal with them. After all, this isn't Qinmeng, and we can provide a continuous supply of firearms and personnel."

"That's true!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

The ferocious beasts and strange creatures of Qin Meng are not invincible; the real trouble lies in the supply issues arising from long-distance hunting.

Searching for these creatures across millions of square kilometers of land is extremely difficult; Ren Wuyang explored for nearly a year and a half without finding any giant elephants or strange beasts.

However, as long as the target is clear, and the beasts stubbornly resist in a certain area, disregarding the integrity of the beasts, firearms can undoubtedly provide targeted and comprehensive strikes, ultimately defeating these creatures that are beyond the scope of normal capabilities.

The same is true of the ferocious beasts, and also of the alien insects in the Tuer region.

The problem with the Zerg is the irregular terrain within the cave corridors, as well as issues with dark vision and supplies. However, once these Zerg emerge from the ground, there are ways to deal with them.

Let alone one alien insect, even ten, a hundred, or even a thousand could be wiped out.

There will inevitably be a price to pay, but no one believes that humanity would be unable to defeat a single, small number of individual organisms on its own soil.

"How the Soul Jade can induce the formation of this special energy core within the Zerg is one of my current research directions," Turkelando said. "Once we can figure it out, it will clearly be another direction for genetic development besides injecting blood serum."

"That's right," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"Once we also possess this kind of core within our bodies, we can also gain considerable abilities," Turcorando exclaimed excitedly. "This ability might be similar to sequence development!"

"Possibly!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded repeatedly.

Although Zhang Xuezhou knew nothing about scientific research, he was very supportive of Turcolando's research. As long as the other party wanted to continue the research, Turcolando would inevitably have a continuous need for Zerg cores, and perhaps he could occasionally get some materials. For example, he had just cut off a part of the core from Turcolando and was preparing to take it back to the Scarlet Alliance State to use as a last resort for medicine.

"Have you ever considered that this might actually just be some kind of ossified stone inside the Zerg?"

After reviewing the test reports and other relevant documents, Ren Anran added a sentence to the two people chatting animatedly beside her, which shattered their illusions.

"This kind of thing needs to be verified," Zhang Xuezhou said. "We need to find another alien insect for comparison!"

"That's not entirely unreasonable!"

Turkelando nodded in agreement.

If you start from the wrong point, all the ideas you have later will be just empty talk.

Such research requires sustainability and a continuous supply of biological materials.

For a moment, Turcorando actually hoped that there weren't just two Zerg in the Tur district.

If the Tours region only has a few isolated Zerg creatures, her research would be meaningless and it would be difficult to establish a unique and systematic path for human genetic evolution.

If things are really as she imagines, it might require her to integrate existing genetic evolutionary directions, incorporating the possible evolution of the Zerg into it, thereby forming a relatively unique branch of genetic development.
