At this time, it was probably around two o'clock in the afternoon, so naturally I went to study.
Chen Xu stood up and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Luo Xiyun said and walked outside.
This temper came and went quickly. Chen Xu estimated that he would never be able to fully understand what they were thinking in his lifetime.
The two walked through the corridor and came to the study room. As usual, Chen Xu walked to the lab table and fiddled with his various equipment.
Luo Xiyun sat down on the chair and before putting on her glasses, she asked, "Nothing serious happened, right?"
Chen Xu didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was asking about him leaving the middle of the meal just now. He smiled and said, "It's just a small problem, it's been solved."
"oh."
Chen Xu looked at her and felt that this was not the answer she wanted. He couldn't help but be curious. What exactly did she want to ask? Thinking of her sudden temper just now, he had a vague guess in his mind.
Luo Xiyun didn't ask any more questions and put on his glasses.
Chen Xu glanced at her, smiled slightly, and quickly turned his attention to the laboratory table to continue working on the gadgets that he had not finished in the morning.
…………
An hour later, Chen Xu finally finished it. After testing it a few times, he placed it in a cabinet dedicated to finished products with satisfaction.
He glanced at Luo Xiyun and saw that she was still sitting there studying. He did not disturb her, left the study room and went to the biology laboratory.
There is a very important experiment this afternoon.
In the laboratory, Feng Song was making final preparations. When he saw him come in, he said, "It will be ready soon."
Chen Xu did not rush him. He walked inside and saw the cloned body after the autopsy. He asked, "How do you deal with a body like this?"
An assistant nearby replied, "Usually it's recycled."
Chen Xu stared at the clone's intact face for a while and said, "Bury him in the cemetery."
"Yes." Although the assistant was puzzled, he still obeyed his order.
When Chen Xu was planning, he reserved a place for a cemetery, because the lifespan of a first-level cyborg is not long and it will be put to use in a few years.
He felt that some sense of ritual was still needed. After all, there was a difference between cyborgs and robots.
As a result, the first person buried in the cemetery would be a clone of a native of this planet, which he had never expected.
"Okay."
At this time, Feng Song's voice came over.
Chen Xu took one last look at the clone lying there, then turned and walked out.
"Mr. Chen, please sit here." Feng Song asked him to sit down on the seat beside him. "The experiment can begin now. Do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Xu said, "Let's get started."
As he spoke, several light screens lit up in front, aiming from all angles at a huge cage made of transparent material. Inside the cage was a transparent cylindrical container with a black object wriggling inside. It was the parasite.
The background of the cage is outdoors, surrounded by more than a dozen robots.
Today's experiment may be somewhat dangerous, so Chen Xu made sufficient preparations in advance. Not only did he place the experiment outside the base, he also arranged robots to stand guard nearby.
When Chen Xu was watching the movie, he saw that some important bases were destroyed due to some negligence, resulting in the escape of monsters used for experiments. It was simply too wise.
Feng Song has been studying the parasite for more than a month and has mastered its various characteristics. Now, he wants to experiment with what abilities it has after parasitizing an animal.
A robot grabbed a small black box and put it into the cage. The box opened and a little white mouse came out. It suddenly stood up, whooshed out, and hit its head on the edge of the cage.
At this time, one end of the cylindrical container placed in the middle opened automatically, and a black, slimy object emerged from it. At first glance, it looked a bit like a black octopus.
It pounced on the little white mouse at a rapid speed, wrapped around it, and quickly penetrated into the little white mouse's body.
Chen Xu stared at the screen and saw the mouse's body expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its eyes turned blood red. When the parasite had completely penetrated its body, its height had reached one meter.
“It’s really magical.”
Chen Xu was amazed to see the mouse's body expand like a balloon. He couldn't figure out how the parasite did it.
On another light screen, the values of the mouse were originally displayed. However, when the values soared rapidly just now, the connection was suddenly lost. In other words, all the sensor components implanted in the mouse were destroyed, and its real-time data could not be obtained.
The swollen little white mouse looked a little manic, staring at the robots outside the cage, and its hind paws scratched the ground, making a harsh friction sound.
Chen Xu looked at its eyes through the video and felt that they seemed to have a humanistic light. He was moved. Could it be that it had developed intelligence? Then, he felt that this idea was a bit absurd. The parasite was like a group of viruses. It was impossible for it to have an organ like a brain. Where did intelligence come from?
At this moment, the enlarged white rat's body began to tremble violently. After a moment, countless black liquids squeezed out of its body, leaving only a bloody corpse in its place.
"It lasted less than a minute."
Chen Xu was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. The parasite made the mouse's body grow ten times larger, which must be accompanied by fatal sequelae.
Feng Song said on the side, "Next, let's change to another animal."
Soon, the robot brought another animal over. It was a monkey with black hair. It was not very big and was even very thin.
After the monkey entered the cage, the parasite pounced on it immediately. It was so fast that the monkey tried to dodge but failed and was pounced on the chest.
The parasite quickly integrated into its body.
This time, there was no obvious change in the monkey's body, except that its eyes became a little scarlet.
Chen Xu paid special attention to its eyes and discovered a different light flashing in its eyes.
It stood still for a few seconds, then suddenly moved and punched the cage. A bang could be clearly heard. The video next to it showed that the force of the punch just now was over one ton.
This was definitely not a power that a monkey could possess. The parasite had enhanced its power to an incredible degree. No matter how you looked at it, it shouldn't have such power in its skinny body.
“It’s incredible.”
Feng Song on the side stared with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself. He was usually calm, but at this moment he lost his composure.
Chen Xu looked at the various values displayed next to the screen and knew that the gains from this experiment would definitely be great.
Then, the monkey transformed. A layer of black scales emerged from its body, covering its entire body. More and more scales appeared, supporting its thin body. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a giant monkey over two meters tall.
It punched the transparent cage again and again, making a bang bang bang sound.
After being hit more than a dozen times, the monkey's body collapsed, and the parasite was squeezed out again, leaving behind a horrible corpse.
Feng Song said excitedly, "Next, let's change to another animal."
Today's experiment will continue. After monkeys, it will be gorillas, and then cloned humans.
