Mechanical Flesh

Qi Yuan pushed the door and entered, just to see Tan Qiu standing next to the workbench in a white coat, manipulating a half-person-height instrument, seeming to be doing something Detection.

A holographic computer is placed next to Tan Qiu's right hand. She is testing and recording experimental data.

Qi Yuan only glanced at the projection screen full of data, and felt his brain swelled. Unless a computing hub is built, no powerful transcender can understand these things.

The room is very clean and simple. In addition to the workbench placed in the center, a low-temperature freezer is erected on the wall facing the window, through the light blue arc. Shaped glass, you can see the corpse of a black-toothed rat frozen inside.

Whether it’s the analyzer on the workbench or the cryo-freezer on the wall, it’s obviously not something Black Stone Town originally had. These things are all research equipment Tan Qiu brought from Black Steel Shelter .

Qi Yuan did not disturb Tan Qiu’s research. He walked to the side and carefully observed the black-toothed rat frozen like amber. Like the black-toothed rat I have seen before, the black hair is softly attached to it. Above the body, the sharp teeth are clearly visible, and even the flesh and blood remaining between the teeth can be seen. The only difference is its eyes.

The pupils of this black-toothed rat are pitch-black, without a trace of white eyes, it is clearly a fallen black-toothed rat.

Qi Yuan stared at the small bald scar on the black-toothed rat’s head for a long time. Although the black-toothed rats all look the same, this black-toothed rat gave him something familiar It feels like it was the black-toothed rat that I had pulled over to dig the tunnel before!

Isn’t that black-toothed rat already killed by me in the ground, how could it become a fallen black-toothed rat and appear here.

A doubt emerged in Qi Yuan's mind.

"Have you seen this fallen black-toothed rat before?" Some husky female voices came from behind.

Qi Yuan heart trembled, I didn't even notice Tan Qiu's approach.

Is this researcher, who seems to have no power, also a powerful esper?

"No!" Qi Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart, shook the head, and decisively denied her speculation.

Tan Qiu’s nose is pressed against a pair of glasses with black frames, and strings of blue characters are jumping on the lenses, like a holographic projection screen.

Tan Qiu casually clicked on the edge of the frame, and the beating characters on the lens disappeared instantly and turned into two completely transparent glass sheets.

Tan Qiu didn't entangle the black-toothed mouse much more, but was gently nodded, so I brought it here.

"Your name is Qi Yuan?" Tan Qiu asked.

"Yes!" Qi Yuan answered calmly.

Tan Qiu touched the frame again, and a blue light curtain slowly swept across Qi Yuan along her sight.

The light curtain brought a faint touch inductance, and Qi Yuan quickly realized that it was detecting his own body information.

Qi Yuan resisted the urge to shoot Tan Qiu and silently withstood the other party's detection. After the light curtain swept over his body and slowly disappeared, Tan Qiu's brows frowned slightly.

"I thought you were a genetic warrior, didn't expect you were awakened!"

Qi Yuan's heart was tight, but his face remained calm.

Awakened is very common, but if Tan Qiu knew that in just a few days, from an ordinary person without the power of a chicken, to an awakened with multiple extraordinary abilities, even if she noticed Until the existence of the Super Life Talent Tree, you will also realize that something is wrong. If you are not careful, you may be frozen like the black toothed rat and used as the specimen material for the experiment.

"I have initially tested your genetic sample. It is very clean and very stable. There is no trace of evolution potion injection. Didn't expect that except for those pure-blooded human beings raised in captivity, there will be There is such a powerful gene body as you."

Pure blood human! Captive!

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered the news that Master Luo had revealed, and suddenly became a little nervous.

This Tan Qiu will not treat me as a pure-blooded human, and then take me back to the Black Steel Shelter to keep in captivity!

Maybe I felt Qi Yuan’s alert, Tan Qiu slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"Don’t be nervous, I won’t dissect you. I will make you an experimental specimen. I just I’m a little curious, which shelter did you run from.”

“Is it the storm shelter that rioted because of the infiltration of the soul beast, or the hope shelter that was almost destroyed by the Doomsday Holy Court?”

"I don't understand what you are talking about!" Qi Yuan said blankly.

"Don’t worry, although the storm and the sanctuary of hope issued a summon escape announcement for the return of the pure-blooded humans, they did not issue a reward to you, probably thinking that you have been polluted by the wilderness and are no longer what they need. Pure-blooded human beings."

Tan Qiu thought he had guessed Qi Yuan’s mind. After taking a close look at Qi Yuan, he said with a faint smile:

"Although I don’t I agree with the new people proposed above to plan, but your genes are indeed stronger than the ordinary person. My research just needs a little stable genetic sample, so I hope to collect some samples from your body as my experimental materials."

"Of course, I won't ask for your sample materials in vain. In exchange, I can give you a Second Rank evolution potion, or help you make a mechanical modification!"

Fortunately, only a few samples were collected. If she wanted to slice me, I would really be cold!

Qi Yuan in the heart quietly sighed in relief, but his face showed a trace of anger and unwillingness that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. After changing his face several times, he was finally nodded.

Tan Qiu moved very fast. Not only did he draw 100ml of blood from Qi Yuan's body, he also used scissors to cut a small poke of his hair and a small piece of nails, which is considered to be the completion of the sample collection.

Qi Yuan took out the butcher he was carrying and placed it on the workbench.

After knowing the sanctuary’s attitude towards mechanical weapons, Qi Yuan did not expect to obtain mechanical weapons from Tan Qiu, but it would be a good choice if he could modify the butcher.

"Can it be mechanically modified?"

Although the Second Rank gene potions are precious, they don’t make much sense to them. Qi Yuan without the slightest hesitation bought it for this sale. The opportunity is assigned to the butcher.

The butcher’s formidable power is powerful, but for the place he is about to go, it still seems a little insufficient. The new sign-in point is refreshed in the direction close to the Black Steel Shelter, even if it’s just the gathering point outside. There are also many transcenders that are far more powerful than Black Stone Town. They only rely on a few First Rank abilities. If you want to complete the check-in there, the difficulty is higher than this.

Tan Qiu picked up the butcher and observed it for a while, and quickly figured out its origin.

"The butcher produced by the Iron Gate is still a generation, didn't expect to see this Ancient One here!"

Tan Qiu played for a while, and put the butcher away. Down.

"This butcher’s model is too old. If you don’t have enough materials to modify it, you can only increase its excitation speed by 10% or reduce some of its recoil. Say, it shouldn’t make much sense."

"If you really want to modify a gun, the Grim Reaper in your hand is more suitable than the butcher. Among the tattered collections of Si Tu, is there any Few parts can be used."

"The modified Grim Reaper can achieve two bursts, the formidable power will be increased by about 10%, and the aiming and effective killing distance will be increased by 2%. 10. If you cooperate with you to strengthen the extraordinary ability of bullets, even if it is a third-rank transcender, as long as you don’t have third-rank defense enhancements, you can hit hard with one shot within two hundred meters! You can even kill!"

"Then Just modify the Grim Reaper!"

Qi Yuan is not a person who does not listen to persuasion, and made a decisive decision.

Although Grim Reaper is less practical than a butcher, under certain circumstances, Grim Reaper is an extremely fierce Great Killing Artifact!

If Tan Qiu's transformation and strengthening of Grim Reaper can reach the level she said, the improvement of her own self is no less than the extraordinary ability of a First Rank.

"You bring things here. It takes a day to refit. Come and get them tomorrow at this time."

After Qi Yuan left, Hong Cong opened the door from the next room. Come in, see Tan Qiu is holding Grim Reaper test parameters, can't help but ask: "A First Rank wilderness hunter, it doesn't seem to be worth your time to waste a day."

p>

"I did this for my reasons."

Tan Qiu said, while putting down Grim Reaper, pressing the control button on the edge of the glasses, a blue fan-shaped light curtain came from The edges of the glasses projected out, slowly sweeping across Grim Reaper.

A holographic projection Grim Reaper suddenly appeared on the workbench. Tan Qiu's fingers were so agile that he quickly disassembled the holographic projection Grim Reaper into countless small parts.

Hong Cong stood by the workbench, cast his eyes on Grim Reaper’s projection, and calmly said:

"You are now a Level 3 researcher. According to the regulations, you are All genetic research projects need to be reported to the above. If someone finds out that your research project has not been reported, I am afraid there will be trouble. If you are promoted to a Level 3 researcher and block some people’s way, they will probably keep staring. You, wait for you to make mistakes."

In Black Steel Shelter, the Institute of Biological and Mechanical Research has a unique position and has an independent promotion system. Level 3 researchers are already considered high-level in it, and then Level 4 research The hospital's hands index, and there is only one Level 5 researcher, and that is the director Maureen.

"Among Level 3 researchers, you are the youngest and the fastest promoted. Although you have been promoted to the third rank researcher in the shortest time, in the eyes of many people, your promotion to the fourth rank is only a matter of time. , Why leave a weak spot for yourself for a wilderness hunter."

Tan Qiu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said faintly: "I won’t make a mistake, it’s just a First Rank genetic sample. It’s not enough to support a research project."

Hong Cong hearing this was silent for a while, and slowly said: "I have been with you for so long, knowing that you have a small habit, whenever you lie , You will push the glasses on the bridge of your nose, even if you don’t wear the glasses, you will make similar movements subconsciously."

Tan Qiu's movements became stiff and paused for a while, suddenly said solemnly:

p>

"Do you think the New Human Project will succeed?"

Hong Cong was slightly taken aback, it seems that didn't expect Tan Qiu would suddenly throw up this controversial topic.

More than fifty years ago, when the New Humanity Project was first proposed, it caused a lot of controversy. This controversy has continued to this day without a unified answer, but whether it is Gate Of Truth, Doomsday Armament, Flesh and Blood Alliance, the Theological Society, and even Doomsday Holy Court, after that joint meeting, silently started the implementation of the New Human Project.

At the beginning of the implementation of the New Humanity Project, it encountered huge resistance and even caused serious turmoil, but it still continued. Under the secret promotion of many parties, with the first and second generations The new generation of humans slowly walked out of the laboratory and integrated into the ordinary person. There was no reproductive isolation, not completely crushing the strength of the old humans, and did not cause the division of the human race. Everyone’s opposition to the new human plan has not begun to be so fierce. , Slowly accepted their existence.

In the eyes of many people, apart from being able to awaken supernatural abilities at a very young age, the new human does not seem to be much different from other ordinary persons.

"There are very few people who oppose it now, and it should succeed—" Hong Cong said hesitantly.

"Have you even changed your position on this matter?" Tan Qiu took a deep look at Hong Cong.

"I just don’t want to see the turmoil caused by this plan. For me, the old humans or the new humans are the same human beings and should not be regarded as two completely different races. "Hong Cong replied.

"If I told you that the new humans in some shelters now housed in laboratories have developed to the fifth or even sixth generation, would you still think so?"

"How is this possible!"

Hong Cong, who has been calm and composed, suddenly grew his mouth, as if he couldn't believe the news that Tan Qiu had revealed.

From the proposal of the New Human Plan, it’s only 51 years to the present. If it’s the old age, at most the third generation will be multiplied. Even if the time for the human body to mature in the new age has been shortened by several years, 51 years. , But the fourth generation has been reproduced, and it can't reach the fifth and sixth generations.

"Although this news is not widely circulated, it is not hidden. I learned about this news on the day I was promoted to the third rank researcher, and I have confirmed its authenticity."

"The new human laboratory of the Black Steel Shelter already has the fifth generation of new humans. The Flesh and Blood Alliance will not be slower than us, but will only be faster. The sixth generation is just a conservative estimate. "

"If what you said is true, then why doesn't the above call stop the New Human Project?" Hong Cong muttered to himself, as if he still did not come back to his from the impact of the news. senses.

"Should stop the New Human Project?" Tan Qiu leaked a mocking smile on his face.

"Why do you think the first and second generations of new humans will come out of the laboratory and join the various classes of the shelter? Is it really to prove the value of their existence to other people, or to prove that they and The same as other people, or just to alleviate the sharp contradictions at the time?"

"Neither, the meaning of their existence is just to pave the way for the new humans behind. The first generation of new humans was originally selected by some forces. Evolver, with powerful genes and excellent genes, has been out of the laboratory for fifteen years. Not only have they returned to human society perfectly, they have even reached a high position with the help and acquiescence of some people."

"Think about how many new humans are coming out of the laboratory, and then think about how many of them are already standing on top of us."

"The company’s seventeen Directors, the new humans have already occupied two seats, and it is very likely that one more seat will be added this year."

"I can be sure that the number of new humans on the board of directors will become larger and larger. When the board of directors accounts for more than half, the new human will become the owner of the sanctuary!"

"You mean the above is deliberately transferring power to the new human!" Hong Cong was shocked.

Although he is the fourth rank, he is farther away from the real top of the sanctuary than the third rank researcher. Therefore, Hong Cong is not very concerned about the occasional changes in the board of directors. Qiu reminded him that he discovered that in less than fifteen years, those new humans who had returned had already mastered such a large amount of power.

"If it is just the transfer of power, it will not have much impact for most people. After all, the power of the new era belongs to itself, and no matter how great power is, it is not impossible to overthrow it."

"But if the power of the new humans also begins to crush the ordinary person, then everything will never be reversed!"

"Starting from the second generation of new humans, each new generation of new humans , The starting point of power will increase a little bit, and the gap between new humans and ordinary person will grow bigger and bigger. If one day new humans can directly give birth to offspring with fourth-rank or even higher-level extraordinary abilities, you think that ordinary person Will there be room for survival?"

"But what does this have to do with Qi Yuan, is he a new human in the next few generations?"

"It is very possible!" Tan Qiu nodded.

"I have done a genetic comparison experiment between new humans and ordinary person and evolver. I found that the genetic stability of new humans is much stronger than that of others, which means that their genes can withstand stronger The impact."

"The genetic lock of new humans has not been strengthened accordingly, which means that they are more likely to obtain the high-level breakthrough threshold."

"Qi Yuan if not The product of the genetic warrior is likely to be the new humans who fled from other shelters. The specific situation needs to go back to the laboratory for more detailed testing."

"Does it need to—" Hong Cong did not say After that, I took a look at Tan Qiu.

"No need!" Tan Qiu shook the head, "I have collected enough genetic samples. It doesn't make any sense to kill him. Let him stay alive and provide more data."

"He should leave Black Stone Town and go to the gathering point around Black Steel Shelter. When the time comes, pay more attention. If he reaches the third rank, you can consider absorbing it into the shelter. I prefer Living gene sample."

"What if he goes to Quicksand Sanctuary?"

"Then put him in it." Tan Qiu glanced at it as he spoke. Black-toothed rat frozen by the wall.

"Rather than dying in the hands of Xu Family, he is more suitable to stay in my laboratory!"
