For the next two days, other than eating and sleeping, the female soldiers spent the rest of their time watching the journey to Death Canyon.
They wanted to see every detail clearly.
He wasn't doing this for the sake of finding hidden locations for rewards. Instead, he truly wanted to train himself through Death Canyon. Although Lin Dong did not assign any missions, the female soldiers still hoped that they could use the fastest time to complete this "Very Easy" level of Death Canyon. Then, they would have more time to challenge the more difficult Purgatory!
Because the Puppet Sisters would take over.
Lin Dong no longer needed to separate the consciousness of the scorpions to make the holographic virtual intelligence core. Now, he was prepared to upgrade these gradually idle scorpions, saving them for future use.
"The poor thing seems to have grown a little?" Cheng Mingge noticed that the little scorpion lying on the desk next to the jade bottle seemed to have grown a little, but the color of its body was lighter. It was originally a translucent milky white, but now it was a more transparent ice crystal color. If not for the bright red color of its eyes, one would think that it was carved from jade at first glance!
"Of course it will continue to grow. Because of the gene fusion, its growth speed is slightly slower, but it will gradually return to normal in the future." Lin Dong extended his hand and transferred some spiritual energy to the poor thing. He was quite satisfied with the growth of this little scorpion.
Unfortunately.
There were so many scorpions, but only this "Emperor" level poor thing appeared.
The remaining 99% were soldier scorpions. He Jinshui and Crooked Head had painstakingly raised a batch of scorpions, but it would be good if there were a few general scorpions among the hundreds of scorpions. As for the handsome scorpions, they could only be found by luck. Sometimes, they would be lucky enough to meet one or two, but sometimes, they would disappear after a few batches. Finally, there was no king scorpion that Lin Dong had been looking forward to for a long time, which was below the poor thing's potential!
"Should I make a small nest for the little scorpion? Let it lie down more comfortably! "Yu Tongtong was very kind and suddenly wanted to make a beautiful nest for the poor thing.
"No need, just let it stay here." Lin Dong was very nervous. He took the little scorpion away from the white jade bottle. It was not willing to do so! The energy stored in the bottle was what it desired. Even if only a little escaped after a long time, it was undoubtedly the sweet dew after a long drought.
"I think we should prepare a breeding pond for those big scorpions. Now that they are getting bigger, they won't be able to stay in their original places for long." Cheng Mingge did not know that scorpions could grow so big.
She thought that the previous scorpions that grew to the size of a palm were the limit.
Unexpectedly.
These scorpions kept growing, growing faster and faster.
Some of the scorpions were almost half a meter long with their tails added. Looking at them baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, they looked like a group of monsters.
Fortunately, they were quite docile towards their master. Not only did they not sting the female soldiers who were feeding them, even Chu Ling'er, who sometimes reached out her hands to touch them, obediently lay down and did not show any signs of going crazy.
"After a few days, pile up a rock garden full of holes outside the yard. They have been genetically modified, so their vitality is very tenacious. Other than feeding them, you don't have to care about them! Also, it doesn't matter if you feed the slow growing scorpions that often feign death or sleep! " Lin Dong's instructions made it difficult for Cheng Mingge and the others to understand, because in Lin Dong's case, it was the other way around. The scorpions that grew fast and strong were not valued at all. At most, they could only eat their fill. Those weak scorpions that grew slowly, especially those that often feigned death or sleep, could receive more care.
Of course, no matter how much attention other scorpions received.
They did not receive the same treatment as the pitiful little scorpion.
The little scorpion that everyone thought would die was the only one that could stay on Lin Dong's desk.
The pitiful little scorpion also had the best food. Although it ate everything, it was usually fed with all kinds of insects.
In order to increase the diversity of its intake of genes.
Principal Qu, He Jinshui, and Fatty Yu Feng were always thinking of ways to find new food so that it would have a different taste.
"Last time, Principal Xia asked, he wanted to know how big these scorpions could grow. If it wasn't for the fact that she needed to follow the Dark River Monitor Lizard, she wanted to make a special scorpion! " Cheng Mingge remembered something. Principal Xia had wanted to make a record of the scorpions for a long time, but Cheng Mingge had always forgotten to ask her.
"It turns out that they can grow up to one meter at most. I didn't think about spending too much time on them. It's just that I collected some not-so-good genetic specimens in Purgatory. Instead of throwing them there and wasting them, it's better to use them on them and see the effect. Some scorpions won't change much, but some scorpions may change a lot. It's possible that their tails will grow up to two or three meters. They'll be a bit large and ugly. Just tell them not to make a fuss when the time comes! " Lin Dong's main target for leveling up was the Soldier Scorpions. Only the Soldier Scorpions with insufficient potential needed to continue leveling up and let them evolve further.
As for the specific effect, Lin Dong had to experiment to know.
But he knew.
No matter how much the Soldier Scorpions leveled up, they were still Soldier Scorpions. No matter how big their bodies became, they couldn't cross the gap between soldiers and generals!
Although the Blood Core genes of the monsters in Purgatory were not bad, they were still nothing compared to monsters like the slugs and ground dragons, not to mention the Super Giant Pincer Bug that was sealed in the third floor of the underground palace and almost killed Lin Dong.
"Are these the Blood Cores? It smells like blood! "Yu Tongtong wasn't interested in the frozen Blood Cores.
"Do you want to take the genes inside and give it to the scorpions? Uncle, why don't you give our geese an injection too? "Chu Ling 'er made a whimsical request.
"They'll be destroyed if we really give them an injection!" Lin Dong glared at her. Injecting the genes of monsters or demons into the bodies of normal spiritual birds? What kind of weird idea was that? Although the two geese were still a distance away from becoming real spiritual birds, according to their growth rate, they would definitely become spiritual birds in the future. There was no need to inject any genes at all!
"Okay! No, no, we'll listen to you! "Chu Ling 'er was so scared that she stuck out her tongue.
"You guys go play!" Lin Dong waved his hand, telling the two girls not to disturb him.
"Let's go play in the water. I haven't been carried by Old Tortoise for a long time. Also, I haven't fed the Star Fish for a long time. Xiao Meng, let's go!" Chu Ling 'er was a playful girl. Seeing that Lin Dong was ignoring her, she immediately dragged the cute girl out to play.
After a long time, Lin Dong specially selected a hundred Soldier Scorpions with weak potential and injected them with the Blood Core energy of the Purgatory monster.
Then, he observed the effect of the fusion.
The result disappointed Lin Dong.
The Purgatory monster genes were completely defeated by the slugs' genes.
One was a monster, and the other was a monster. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath!
After the selected batch of Soldier Scorpions were injected with the Blood Core energy, they quickly adapted and absorbed the new energy. They did not mutate at all. It was like eating a very delicious meal. Lin Dong thought there would be exceptions, but he did not expect a hundred of them to not mutate. This was the Soldier Scorpion with the worst potential and gene fusion. If it was a General Scorpion or a Commander Scorpion, it would probably not even burp!
If the Soldier Scorpions could not do it, Lin Dong thought the Gene Horses would not be able to either.
Even the Gene Fish would not change much. Besides, what was the point of turning the Gene Fish into a Monster Fish? They were already growing fast and big enough!
"Dean Qu? Bring some stray dogs to the horse farm at the foot of the mountain. Yes, I want to do an experiment. I don't need a lot of dogs. Just ten will do. "Lin Dong thought about it and decided to experiment with stray dogs.
First, it was easy to get.
Second, if the gene fusion failed, the tame horses, cows, and sheep would become man-eating monsters. This would be a bit shocking.
So, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and Xiao Bai mice were not considered at all. He just went straight for the stray dogs. If the stray dogs failed to mutate after being injected with the new gene and became monsters, everyone would be surprised, but they could accept it. If it did not work, they could just kill it. It would not be as shocking as seeing a horse grow teeth and become a carnivore. Lin Dong knew that no matter what experiment he did, Dean Qu would cooperate and strictly keep the secret, but he was too lazy to do unnecessary things.
He would save as much trouble as he could.
Anyway, there was no shortage of stray dogs abandoned by their owners on Dong Mountain!
Lin Dong remembered that some time ago, the city of Dong Mountain had sent out a large team to clean up the stray dogs. In the end, more than two thousand dogs were caught. It was even on the provincial news. In just a few days, even if the city wanted to destroy these stray dogs, they should not have gotten rid of all of them. There must be some left. Besides, dog lovers were protesting every day and doing everything they could to stop the city from destroying these precious stray dogs!
"Okay, I'll send someone to Tuoshan Horse Farm right away!" Dean Qu was overjoyed. If the distance between the two places was not too far, he would have flown over by helicopter from Peach Blossom Valley!
When Lin Dong went down to the horse farm at the foot of the mountain.
An Old Fox, Elder Yan, and Zhao Xin were already waiting there.
Dean Qu brought Lin Dong stray dogs, but it was not ten, but a hundred. There were also fifty military dogs. The military dogs were different from the stray dogs in cages. They were abnormally docile and obedient, half lying on the ground. Whether it was the military dogs or the stray dogs, they were quietly waiting for Lin Dong with their tongues out. They were completely unaware of their impending fate.
Lin Dong saw so many dogs and the soldiers around them looking at him with hope in their eyes. He could not help but sweat in his heart.
Forget about the stray dogs, if he turned all fifty military dogs into monsters, the soldiers who had painstakingly trained them would probably cry themselves to death, right?
This was not strengthening!
Strengthening was not dangerous, but this could happen at any time!
There was a certain degree of danger in injecting the blood core energy of the monsters in Purgatory into the bodies of surface creatures. When the genes were trying to fuse, there was a higher possibility of mutual rejection!
"Everyone, listen carefully. There is a certain degree of risk in this experiment. I cannot give you any guarantees. From the beginning, I have never thought of using military dogs for this experiment. It is not easy for you to train military dogs, and it would be a waste to use them for experiments. If you can unconditionally accept the result of failure, then I will consider it, "Lin Dong stated first.
"Sir, not only us, but our military dogs are also qualified soldiers. From the day they received training, they were already prepared to sacrifice themselves for the country! So, we are not afraid of sacrifice! " The leading sergeant ran forward with his fists clenched and saluted. He loudly reported to Lin Dong, expressing the common wish of his entire team of soldiers and military dogs.
"I understand your spirit, and I know your determination," Ye Zichen said. Lin Dong nodded. "But I have to say the ugly words first. I hope you can understand. I just said that the result of failure is very likely to be sacrifice! Moreover, even if the experiment is successful, there are still uncertainties. If my experiment is successful, these military dogs will become stronger, their bodies will become larger, and their combat power will double. Their hearts that were originally tamed by you will become wild and uncontrollable with the increase of their strength. At that time, they may not be able to maintain their rationality. Even if they can maintain enough rationality and recognize you and will not attack you, how much loyalty they will have in the end is also a question worth thinking about. Now, you are their master or partner, and you can live and die with them. But after the experiment, I really can't give you any guarantees about what will happen to them! "
"You mean, after they become stronger, they will refuse the orders of the soldiers, is that right?" Elder Yan had heard Lin Dong talk about similar topics before. At that time, he and An Old Fox wanted to strengthen the military dogs, but Lin Dong had always opposed it.
"Animals are not bound by human morality. Once they become stronger, they will most likely do whatever they want. It is difficult to restrain them." Lin Dong nodded.
"In the natural world, there are many examples like this. For example, tigers and lions are difficult to tame because they are too strong. Unless they are raised in captivity like zoos or circuses to grind away their wild nature, it is difficult to succeed. Circuses are better for them to perform actions and run through the field. If they are really required to launch a dangerous attack, the possibility of them attacking their master is very high! " Principal Xia adjusted her glasses. She had also studied this project before, but due to the lack of conditions at that time, she did not delve into it.
"Is there no other way?" An Old Fox was reluctant to give up this opportunity.
"Can we inject the same genetic agent into people? This way, the military dogs may regard the soldiers who originally domesticated them as their own kind or their own leader. "Zhao Xin raised this possibility.
"No, although this thing can enhance the human body, it is extremely unstable. It can easily destroy the human body and turn people into monsters. If we want to make the soldiers stronger, we can strengthen them and improve them through continuous training. If we forcefully inject this, even if they become stronger, it will also affect their lifespan. How long do you think the martial artists in the West who are directly injected with genetic agents can live? Other than some special cases, most of them explode and die once they pass their peak! In addition to the natural collapse of their genes during restoration, part of the reason is that the stability of these things is very low! " Lin Dong was opposed to injecting the monster's blood core energy into the soldiers. The creatures in Purgatory were indeed very powerful, but the genetic integration rate with the creatures on the surface of Azure Planet, especially humans, was too low.
After all, these were creatures from two different worlds. The result of forcefully putting them together was very terrifying.
It could become very good.
But 99% of people would die a horrible death!
"Chief, we are not afraid of sacrifice! Those who are afraid of death will not participate in the experiment! "The leading officer reported loudly.
"Death must be worthwhile. I don't agree with this. You can inject the strengthening agent, but this experiment cannot be done on human subjects. Even overseas, they can't do it directly. They know the result of direct injection, so they are developing something like a moderator or neutralizer together. Why can stray dogs do it? Because even if they become monsters, as long as they are alive, their research value will still be there. Even if the experiment fails, they will still be considered to have contributed to the country. After all, stray dogs are not humans. Even in the form of monsters, they can still live. It is better than destroying them. Why can't soldiers? If you become monsters, what will your family think of you? What will they think of me? No matter how crazy I am, I will never turn a living person into an ugly monster! "Lin Dong had his own considerations. He was the leader of the experiment, and his authority was unquestionable.
"Then what should we do?" Elder Yan frowned.
"Military dogs will depend on the situation in the future. First, we will experiment with stray dogs. After confirming that there is no danger, we will experiment with military dogs! As for the soldiers, I will not inject things that destroy human genes into the soldiers' bodies. That is not a scientific experiment, that is murder! "From the beginning, Lin Dong wanted stray dogs.
Now, after much persuasion, he finally dispelled the urgent desire of Elder Yan and the others.
Seeing the regret on the faces of the soldiers who came with the military dogs, Lin Dong could feel their fanatical faith. It could be seen that the soldiers who trained the military dogs were very eager for this opportunity. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided whether to give them a chance. "Give them strengthening, and then find a genetic soldier to train them. I will only consider this experiment on the military dogs if they can increase their combat value to 10 points within three months!"
"Thank you, Chief. We will train to death!" The sergeant leading the team was so moved that he almost cried. He followed the soldiers behind him and saluted Lin Dong for a long time, unwilling to put his hand down.
"Don't be too happy too early. The military dogs are strong, and we need a wild suppressor. I haven't invented this thing yet!" Lin Dong threatened them, but he was still quite satisfied with the soldiers' sincere power of faith. The power of faith of the soldiers was sometimes no less than the pure gratitude of a child. These two would be the main forces of the Star of Faith.
"Chief, you will succeed!" The leading sergeant was afraid that Lin Dong would go back on his word, so he quickly led the team away.
The military dogs were taken away by them.
The 100 stray dogs in cages were left behind.
Lin Dong frowned and did not speak for a long time after his observation.
Director Qu thought it was the problem with the stray dogs. "Are these dogs not qualified? Why don't we change the experiment? "
"It's not the dog's problem! After looking at the dogs, I'm a little worried that their fusion mutation will be too good, far beyond my expectations. " Lin Dong waved his hand and gestured to Elder Yan to arrange the next work. "In order to control the situation, send people to transport these stray dogs to the underground secret room at the military base, and then transfer two teams of genetic soldiers over. Let them all carry heavy weapons, just in case! No matter the results of the experiment, I hope that the topic of the blood nucleus gene experiment will never be mentioned again! "
