Old Ji narrowed his eyes: "But he is the 'only one.' If something happens to Lin Nai, you'll have to find another apostle with 99% divine power purity to charge the divine source weapon for me?"
Old Zhou sneered: "Any scientific research carries risks. I just feel that your current progress is a bit too conservative. At least so far, you yourselves haven't even explored the limits of Linnaeus, have you? When did your heart become so soft?"
"..." Old Ji did not speak.
"Old Ji, we've both come a long way, and we both know very well that those who want to achieve great things can never be stuck in the mud at their feet. In the victory of a civilization, a few sacrifices are perfectly normal."
Old Zhou paused, then looked at him and asked, "I heard that you plan to turn this child into a humanoid war machine like Night's Child?"
"..." Old Ji remained silent.
Old Zhou smiled and said, "That's a pretty good idea. If he could become like Ye Wan'er, able to withstand the implanted nanocells, then his capacity to bear the divine core would be greatly enhanced, saving a lot of cultivation time, and the subsequent research process would definitely be accelerated..."
"But with your conservative approach, I estimate it will only be a drop in the ocean."
"If you entrust this child to me, I can guarantee that within six months..."
"Regarding the research on divine source weapons, the council has decided to entrust the entire task to Dark Moon." Elder Ji said with his hands behind his back, expressionless: "This is the result of the council's vote. In any case, you have no need to interfere in this matter."
"......"
When Elder Zhou heard Elder Ji bring up the parliament, he was speechless and just chuckled softly twice.
He leaned on his cane and came to Old Master Ji's side: "Alright, then I won't interfere for now."
"However, I hope you won't forget that war is imminent!"
"You should know better than anyone how terrifying those demons are. With our current strength, without divine source weapons, how confident are we in fighting against those advanced civilizations of demonic races?"
"Never forget the history of how, three hundred years ago, our human race was enslaved and kept by the demons!"
Professor Ji remained expressionless and silent.
Old Zhou chuckled softly, leaned on his cane, and turned to leave.
......
Lin Nai slightly opened her eyes.
At night, she rocked him gently by the bedside, her voice soft: "Brother Linnai, wake up, it's time to get up and train."
"Ugh... Haa..."
Linnaeus yawned and sat up.
He is still in Lab 11.
"What time is it now?" Linna asked.
"Ten o'clock at night," Ye Wan'er said softly. "You should go back to your dorm to sleep in two hours. Before that, we can do some more simple control training."
Darkmoon Base has strict requirements for the daily routines of all its students.
I must return to the dormitory to sleep by midnight.
This is so that I have enough energy to face the next day's classes and training.
Linnaeus's current training regimen is almost three or four times more intense than Truman's.
This is basically very close to the intensity of nighttime training back then.
A month ago, he learned about Elder Ji's plan.
Elder Ji and his colleagues wanted to train him into a humanoid war machine for the human race!
Linnaeus felt somewhat uncomfortable with the word "weapon".
However, he knew that it was just a name.
This is what the Black Angels call them. Humans don't currently intend to create a new term to describe these super soldiers, so they simply follow suit.
"By the way," Lin Nai looked at the night sky and suddenly asked, "Just how many 'weapons of war' has your Black Angel clan cultivated?"
Linnaeus currently only knows two.
One is Night, a war weapon that has been cultivated by the Black Angels for hundreds of millions of years.
Another one is Lei Luo, who is Ye Ye'er's instructor. Although his talent is not as good as Ye Ye'er's, Lin Nai has also experienced his strong combat power.
After pondering for a while, Ye Wan'er said, "In the hundreds of millions of years of the Black Angel civilization, there have probably been more than a thousand warriors who can be called 'weapons of war'."
Lin Nai was somewhat surprised: "Over a hundred million years, only a little over a thousand have appeared?"
"By the way, how exactly do you define weapons of war?"
Linnaeus had a rather vague concept of this thing before.
Anyway, it should be a biological weapon with strong combat capabilities?
“Nanocells,” Night said.
"Nanocytes?" Linnaeus raised an eyebrow. "You mean the ones you transplanted into my body before?"
“Yes,” Night slowly answered, “This is a kind of artificial cultured cell, containing a potential a hundred times stronger than ordinary cells. We, the chosen Black Angel babies, are implanted with these nanocells when we are young. If we can withstand the nanocells and do not have a rejection reaction, we have the potential to be cultivated into war weapons.”
Lin Nai stroked his chin: "Are these nanocells similar to the TD cells in the bodies of human superhumans?"
"Similar, but also quite different," Ye Wan'er said. "TD cells only determine the cultivation speed and absorption rate of human superhumans, while nanocells determine much more..."
"Your explosive power, your potential, your learning ability, your absorption speed..."
"Even after I arrived in the human plane, I was able to adapt quickly, convert some of my magical power into soul power for cultivation, and copy and learn certain skills of you human superhumans, all thanks to the effect of nanocells."
Linnaeus said, "I see..."
"However, the Black Angel civilization has only produced a little over a thousand war machines in hundreds of millions of years. Is it possible that the proportion of Black Angels capable of withstanding nanocells is so low?"
“That’s not how it works.” Nightshade shook her head: “Being able to accept nanocells is only the first step in qualifying you to be trained as a weapon of war. After that, there are even more rigorous training, selection, and duels... layer by layer, it’s basically very difficult to produce a qualified weapon of war in many years.”
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes: "Is that so..."
Nightfall said, "Elder Ji and the others hope that I will implant nano-cells in you, probably because they hope that you can control the divine power within the divine core more quickly."
Linnaeus nodded.
His current level is 6.
In fact, according to common sense, only two or three months have passed since he arrived at the Dark Moon Base in the capital.
This upgrade speed is already considered incredibly fast!
For those without cultivation resources, this achievement might take several years to attain.
But with war looming, such a pace was ultimately too slow.
Implanting nanocells and nanochips is essentially a shortcut. Because these things are, in a sense, equivalent to prosthetics, and as long as your body can adapt, they can undoubtedly enhance your combat capabilities the fastest.
