Lü Yongchang quickly went through a simple mental deduction.
"Theoretically speaking..."
He nodded calmly: "That's feasible."
"The modification is not difficult."
"Once the tests are passed, it can be used as one of the standard weapons of the human fleet."
"Professor," Zero's holographic image appeared beside him, "there's news from the biological laboratory about you."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang's expression immediately became more serious.
He pondered for a moment, then said to Tao Yuda, "This research project will be entrusted to you."
"I need to go to the biology lab."
"It is estimated that the human enhancement project has made a breakthrough."
...
Earth
The doors to the biological shipboard laboratory suddenly opened, revealing the scene inside.
The first thing that catches the eye is five large, transparent, cylindrical containers.
The cylindrical container is about two meters high, large enough to fit an adult human inside.
The container was filled with a pale yellow solution.
As expected, it was probably a high-concentration nutrient solution.
It seems the experiment has reached its final stage.
A hint of joy flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes as he stepped into the biology laboratory.
...
"Professor! Over here!"
Thanks to Zero's reminder, Mao Zhengzhi immediately discovered that Lü Yongchang had entered the laboratory.
He quickly put down his unimportant work and jogged toward Lü Yongchang.
"Are you getting ready to start human trials?"
Lu Yongchang raised his chin and casually gestured to the five large jars beside him: "The animal experiments have all passed?"
Mao Zhengzhi nodded quickly and beckoned a holographic projection.
"White mice, monkeys, chimpanzees..."
"For safety reasons, we have done all the experiments that could be done."
"The results are very good, and so far we have not found any adverse reactions."
"What about genetics?" Lü Yongchang asked quickly.
“The genetic material of every single experimental animal was uncontaminated,” Mao Zhengzhi said with great enthusiasm. “That’s why I decided to begin human trials.”
"After all, Dawn Star's second and third surface cities are under construction, so the human enhancement project should naturally be carried out as soon as possible."
"Have you found the test subjects?" Lü Yongchang asked softly as he walked toward the experimental table.
"certainly."
Mao Zhengzhi subconsciously lowered his voice: "They are all death row inmates who have committed crimes against humanity."
"They were deprived of all the rights that humans possess."
"During the Ross 154 experiment, they were forced into hibernation in preparation for potential future experiments."
Lü Yongchang nodded, indicating that he understood.
He had also heard about the crimes committed by this group.
It's nothing more than an attempt to send some inappropriate information to the painting.
But they clearly forgot one thing.
All electronic equipment in the human fleet is under Zero's surveillance.
then……
Unsurprisingly, they were arrested just as they were about to put their ideas into practice.
"These capitulationists deserve to die!"
Lü Yongchang narrowed his eyes with some disgust: "Let's begin the experiment."
Mao Zhengzhi nodded and gestured to the researchers in the distance.
Looking at the experimental scene not far away, Lü Yongchang frowned.
"Once the experiment is over and all the tests are completed, let's give them euthanasia."
"Don't leave any future problems."
"Human civilization has no need for such scum."
Mao Zhengzhi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."
"I guarantee that no mistakes will occur."
...
A few days later.
"professor."
“Look.” Mao Zhengzhi stood in front of a cylindrical container and unfolded a holographic image that was responsible for monitoring vital signs. “According to the examination data transmitted back by the nanorobots, a retina has appeared on the surface of some of their internal organs.”
"Not only that, their muscle strength has also been greatly enhanced."
"Conservatively speaking, their physical fitness is now more than double what it used to be."
Lu Yongchang carefully observed the data on the holographic projection and nodded silently.
Based on the data, it should only be a matter of time before the human enhancement experiment is successful.
But biological experiments are always full of unexpected events.
Therefore, until the very last second, Lü Yongchang dared not relax his heart, which was pounding with anxiety.
"How much longer until the enhancement is complete?"
Mao Zhengzhi glanced at the experimental records.
"I just received my fourth injection of steroids this morning."
"Based on the experimental data from chimpanzees and monkeys, it will probably take another three days."
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
While waiting for the experimental results, good news came from Laboratory One.
Tao Yuda successfully completed the modification of the drone and passed a series of tests.
Plasma missiles have also become one of the standard weapons carried by human fleets.
In commemoration, Tao Yuda specially named it "Ball Lightning".
It truly lives up to its name.
After the modified drone released a large amount of plasma, its shape did indeed resemble ball lightning from Earth's time.
However, it is larger, lasts longer, and is more powerful.
Moreover, under Zero's control, the flight trajectories of these large ball lightning bolts became even more unpredictable.
Its extremely high mobility makes it destined to be a mainstay weapon in interstellar warfare.
only……
The resources consumed by war are even greater.
Both the Ball Lightning and the Battering Ram are completely disposable items.
This means that if the human fleet encounters interstellar warfare, Zero will face an extremely severe test of its productivity.
Fortunately, Academician Mo Zeyang's new generation of optical quantum computer has passed preliminary testing.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the productivity level of human civilization rises to several levels again!
"Professor, one of the researchers has woken up and has been moved to a separate gravity chamber."
Mao Zhengzhi's words interrupted Lü Yongchang's thoughts.
"Let's go take a look."
Lü Yongchang's eyes lit up.
We've been waiting for this!
He quickly unplugged the electromagnetic adsorption device on the seat and followed Mao Zhengzhi toward the experimental table.
A giant holographic projection displays images of the gravity chamber.
