Chapter 92 Eternal Genes
Su Wudeng took a photo of the laboratory logo and compared it with the Beidi family data she had collected before. Sure enough, the logo was not 100% similar, but at least 99%.
"That is to say, this laboratory must have some kind of relationship with the Beidi family."
"No, maybe not just the Beidi family, the five major families just correspond to the five corners of the pentagram... maybe all five major families are related to the laboratory."
This is the worst guess.
But from now to the era of the five major families, it must have been tens of thousands of years, right?
So many pets have become extinct, but the people and descendants of the laboratory still exist, and even developed into the five major families.
There must be a secret behind this.
She looked at the huge laboratory headquarters in front of her and had to find a way to go in and check.
According to Xuan Yue, the laboratory has a mythical pet like E-712, and barging in would be tantamount to suicide.
Moreover, a pet of this level would absolutely suppress other pets, and she couldn't let the cubs take risks.
The most important thing is that once the snake is startled, the people in the laboratory will definitely be alert, and it will be difficult to investigate.
"The most urgent thing is to find out the details here first."
She took out a palm-sized silver disc, which was a military-grade detector purchased from the Ether War Zone. The disc was covered with biological crystal patterns, which could simulate various biological or physical forms, and at the same time could shield various detections.
The disc unfolded in her palm, and she gave the order: "Spread out and sneak in, don't attract attention, and send back all the information."
Soon, the disc turned into a group of dust and slowly floated towards the laboratory headquarters.
The mimicry was completed.
As the dust floated away, the vision of the "dust" was projected in front of her eyes, and finally through calculation, the scene inside the laboratory was established.
The entrance to the first floor was extremely strict, with more than dozens of biological identification gates arranged in sequence, and each gate was equipped with energy detection devices of different frequencies.
Su Wudeng thought, there is so much, and I don't know what they are detecting.
The tiny "dust" slowly floated through the gates and then dispersed.
Soon, the first experimental area appeared in the field of vision -
there were still countless transparent culture chambers, countless tubes and monitoring devices inserted into the bodies of pets, and the number was much larger than that of the Arctic Division.
"The gene extraction of B-127 has been completed, and the next stage of the experiment can be carried out."
A researcher's indifferent voice came, and then the lid of the culture chamber slowly opened.
...
'Dust' continued to move forward, and soon, the second experimental area appeared in the field of vision.
First, the first division, the first sight is the huge energy extraction device occupying the entire space, and the snake-like pipes are entangled like a group of snakes.
A flame lion is fixed in the center, and the hot energy is being extracted bit by bit.
Its mane has lost its former redness and has become dull.
"The energy purity is not enough," another researcher's voice sounded, "Increase the extraction power."
As the roar of the machine increased, the flame lion's painful struggle became more intense.
Suddenly, a sad cry echoed throughout the laboratory, and the flame lion's body began to disintegrate, turning into sparks and dissipating in the air.
"Another failure," the researcher sighed and crossed out a number on the tablet, "Next."
And the scene here is just one of the countless sub-areas in Area 2.
The laboratory here is larger than the ice field branch, with more experimental projects, and the densely packed sub-areas are like a honeycomb.
As the "dust" drifted by one by one, all the projects in the sub-areas were presented one by one.
There are thousands of pets involved, including their abilities, genes, energy, body structures, etc.
This is just Area 2.
When we get to Area 3, it seems to be where pets are kept.
Cages are densely packed on both sides of the corridor, and various modified pets are kept inside.
"This batch of experimental subjects has responded well," a researcher stopped in front of a cage, "The success rate of genetic modification has increased by 3%."
"Very good, this experiment can continue, and the number of experimental subjects can be increased."
At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded. The
researcher immediately looked at the screen: "Not good, the values in Area 4 are fluctuating abnormally!"
"Quick, go and have a look!"
As the red light flashed, the researchers quickly went to Area 4. Area 3 was like a dividing line, and the higher it went, the more severe it became.
All researchers who went up had to wear special protective clothing and work in groups of two. Each person's operation was strictly recorded.
Soon, the situation in Area 4 came into view.
In the huge circular experimental field, hundreds of culture chambers were arranged in a ring.
Each culture chamber was wrapped in dark red energy, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.
But on the monitor, the prompt of abnormal numerical fluctuations kept flashing.
"The energy fluctuations have started again!" A researcher watched worriedly, "This time it is stronger than last time!"
"How many died?" another voice asked.
"One third... no, it's more than half! The mortality rate of this batch of experimental subjects is nearly 40% higher than before!"
"Damn it, after so many years, they still can't solve the problem of instability when extracting source power."
Su Wudeng looked at the situation in front of him, his heart sank.
"Last time? One third?"
How long did this experiment last? How many pets died? What are they researching?
And what is the source power they are talking about?
Could it be... the original energy of pets?
It is also the source of all pet power?
Can this be extracted?
She carefully watched the scene sent back by Dust. The back of the incubator was connected to thick pipes, and led to the upper level.
"Such a large-scale death does not seem to be a failure of the experiment, but rather... collecting the source of power they mentioned."
At this moment, a researcher in a pure white uniform strode into the control room, and the others immediately stepped aside in silence.
Su Wudeng noticed that there were four stars on the badge on his chest, which was the highest level she had seen in the entire laboratory so far.
"How is the situation?" he asked.
"85% of the expected value has been collected, but..."
"Very good, needless to say," he interrupted, "As long as we can reach the critical value, the sacrifice is worth it."
"Continue to observe and speed up the extraction."
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came.
Then a figure ran over from a distance and said something to the four-star researcher. The
four-star researcher's voice was full of surprise: "Now?"
"Okay! I'll go there right away!"
The two hurried away and soon disappeared.
The two researchers in the room looked at each other and said, "It seems that he has passed the review and will be promoted to a five-star researcher soon."
"Then can he participate in the S-level experiment?"
"Who knows?" The other researcher shrugged. "It is said that there are four top researchers gathered in the S area now, plus him, a total of five."
"I don't know what they are researching."
"Please don't ask. Last time a researcher wanted to inquire about the S area, he disappeared the next day..."
"By the way, Dr. Green is unlucky enough. He was originally selected, but because the experimental base was damaged, he was squeezed out."
"Who said it wasn't..."
Green?
Su Wudeng's heart moved. He didn't expect that he was so powerful. Not only did he return to the headquarters smoothly, but he could even participate in the S-level experiment.
The clue he laid out at the time was indeed correct.
On the other side, 'Dust' continued to move forward, wanting to investigate the situation in Area S, but soon discovered that an invisible energy barrier completely blocked the entire area.
Su Wudeng was shocked: "What kind of experiment is this? Even the entrance and exit are blocked?"
How can we investigate if we can't get in?
Wait...
Green.
He just passed the review, does that mean he can enter Area S to participate in the experiment?
The temporary channel may be opened temporarily!
At the same time, Area 5.
Green stood in the biological testing chamber, and the cold light scanned his whole body.
This is already the sixth round of inspections. From genes to energy fluctuations, from mental state to behavioral patterns, every indicator must meet the admission standards of Area S.
Of course, these inspections are just superficial. What really determines whether one can enter Area S is whether he is completely loyal to the laboratory.
"What a trouble." He gritted his teeth secretly.
If it weren't for that abominable woman who destroyed the Icefield Base, he would have been able to participate in the S-level project long ago.
Why does he have to go through so many reviews again ?
The light of the inspection chamber gradually dimmed.
"Dr. Green," the inspector stared into his eyes, "Are you completely loyal to the laboratory? Are you colluding with others?"
Green sneered: "After that incident, I rarely even left the laboratory and had no time to contact others. What's more, do you think I would have any connection with the people who destroyed my base? Or a cooperative relationship?"
He has said it eight hundred times, why don't these people trust him.
The Icefield Laboratory was destroyed, and he is the biggest victim!
The inspector listened to the instructions in the headset and nodded slowly: "Dr. Green, congratulations, you passed."
Green breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the test chamber. At this moment, an inconspicuous dust quietly fell on Green's hair.
"The last inspection passed," the inspector pressed the button, "Welcome to join the S-class project team."
As the voice fell, the metal wall in front of him slowly separated, revealing a long and narrow passage.
Green walked forward, and voices rang one after another.
"Identity passed."
"Biometric characteristics match."
"Mental state is stable."
"Behavior pattern is normal."
"..."
After a full fifteen gates, finally, the last door opened.
"Dr. Green, please come in."
In front of him was a silver elevator with no buttons, only a palm print recognition area.
Green put his palm on it, and the elevator door opened immediately.
"Destination: S-area core laboratory."
The mechanical sound rang, and the elevator began to rise.
...
Looking at the picture sent back, Su Wudeng didn't expect that after such a sudden turn of events, it really worked!
She sighed, "Thank you very much, Green."
"You really helped me a lot!"
The picture of S-area soon came in front of her.
A pure white space, an extremely spacious hall, and four researchers in pure white uniforms standing on the central platform.
"Welcome to the S-level project team, Dr. Green."
Su Wudeng quickly noticed that they were each wearing a badge, and the patterns were completely different -
"Burning flames, flowing water patterns, towering mountains, roaring whirlwinds..."
The dialogue continued in the picture.
"Let me welcome you on behalf of the core research team," the leading researcher said, "I am Herman from the Flame Team."
"Maureen from the Water Team."
"Taylor from the Mountain Team."
"Alan from the Storm Team."
After they introduced themselves one by one, Herman took out a badge from the silver tray and handed it to Green: "This is your frost badge. From today on, you are the person in charge of the Frost Team."
Su Wudeng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Flame, water, mountain, storm, frost, these are clearly the elemental symbols on the five corners of the pentagram!
And each one is exactly the same as the emblem of the five major families!
"So... the researchers of the S-class project are actually from the five major families?"
"Dr. Green," Herman's voice interrupted her thoughts, "We all know about the accident at the ice base. But your research results on ice pets are irreplaceable. The current project needs talents like you."
"Yeah," Maureen smiled, "I hope you don't find the previous review troublesome."
Green complained in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "Of course not."
"It is my honor to contribute to the S-class project."
"Then," Herman turned to face the huge holographic screen, "let's introduce this project to Dr. Green."
As his voice fell, four large characters emitting a faint blue light appeared on the screen:
"Eternal Gene."
His tempting voice echoed in the hall: "Once successful, we will gain the ability of pets, and even surpass the power of pets!"
...
Capital Star, Beidi Family, Snow Region.
General Chu stood in front of the mountain gate of Beidi Family, and the white air he exhaled condensed into frost in the air.
He thought of the snowfield, which could actually change the temperature within a range. Should we say that Beidi Family is worthy of being one of the five major beast-controlling families? Looking up
, a group of silver-white buildings were built against the mountain. On the top of the highest main hall was a huge ice and snow frost flower, which was the family emblem of Beidi Family.
General Chu retracted his gaze and looked at the closed door in front of him: "Master Beidi, I am here to visit you."
"General Chu, please come in."
The door slowly opened, and a butler in a snow-white robe led the way.
In front of him was a long staircase, on both sides of which were sculptures of ice pets that the Beidi family had contracted for generations.
The Arctic Tyrannosaurus, the Icefield Giant Bear, the Snowy Pegasus...
Each one is extremely precious, but now it is difficult to find any trace of them.
Passing through the courtyard covered with snow, the master of the Beidi family stood at the door to greet them in person.
"Welcome to the Beidi family, General Chu."
He was tall and had silver hair. Although he was old, he was still energetic.
"General Chu, is this your first
visit to our Beidi family?" "How about I show you around?"
General Chu was naturally eager to do so. He came here to investigate the secrets of the Beidi family.
The head of the Beidi family took him directly to a huge portrait and introduced him, "This is our ancestor, Green Beidi."
The man in the portrait had a stern expression and a snowflake-shaped badge on his chest.
"Ten thousand years ago, our ancestor Green Beidi, with his amazing talent, mastered the secret of taming ice pets. Not only did he successfully sign a contract with the legendary frost dragon, he also created the 'Extreme Cold Beast Taming Method', making our Beidi family one of the five major families."
"According to the records left by our ancestors, he had conducted groundbreaking research in the extremely cold land. It was these studies that laid the foundation for our family."
"It's a pity that the research site was destroyed later, and most of the ancestor's precious research data was lost."
