In the following period, as the BHB Combative Police Force cracked more and more cases, their popularity in the international community grew as well.
These violent crimes solved by the BHB would be recorded by drones from multiple angles and edited into high-quality documentaries.
Blacklight Biotechnology also provided the department with professional editors and sound dubbers. They even hired world-renowned musicians to create several magnificent and majestic team songs for the BHB.
After being polished by the world's top post-production team, these documentaries would finally be uploaded to YouTube and other video websites for free viewing.
Each time these videos were released, they would garner hundreds of millions of views and instantly climb to the top of the video charts, resulting in a huge traffic bonus.
Advertising sponsors, fan clubs around the world, and even toy figurines were created during this period. It only took slightly more than a month for the three BHB combative police officers to transform into the most popular and world-renowned superheroes in the world.
The number of violent crimes solved by the three of them also increased over time. In the face of the fully armed BHB members and the cooperation of various armed drones, the criminals who could only get their hands on AKMs were like a bunch of blind and deaf children. They could not put up any effective resistance and could only wait to be apprehended.
Over the past month, the number of violent crimes in Namibia had dropped by thirty percent due to the emergence of the BHB.
However, it was not like there were no hiccups during this period.
Just a few days ago, Hodge, as a sniper, was sniping at a gangster who was holding a hostage. Because the bullet was deflected, he didn't kill the gangster immediately. In the end, the frightened gangster's gun accidentally fired, blowing up the hostage's head with one shot.
Hodge was in a bad mood for several days because of this.
Strictly speaking, this was a major incident. However, the plan had already anticipated such a situation. Therefore, a few minutes after the mistake occurred, a public relations team arrived at the scene and bribed all the reporters, police officers, and the hostage's family members to cover up the incident.
In short, under Blacklight Biotechnology's relentless promotion, the name of the BHB Combative Police Force continued to dominate the global search rankings. Whether it was in Northern America or Europe, BHB was everywhere. The three of them were even on par with virtual superheroes such as Superman and Captain America in terms of popularity.
In the past few months, when the world's attention was focused on Namibia, military experts from various countries also flocked to Blacklight Biotechnology's military department with greedy eyes.
As they slowly witnessed the superiority of the XTN robots, related weapons orders began to pour in like snowflakes, landing on Blacklight Biotechnology's head one after another.
However, the various countries did not go crazy over the superb performance of the XTN robots. Instead, they were quite restrained. An XTN-XXX model robot was purchased in each continent at a minimum of two digits. Only major customers such as Northern America and the Mainland would purchase a certain model robot that exceeded three digits. The reason given by these customers was that they would buy the robot to test its performance. If it was worth the price, they would return.
Blacklight Biotechnology naturally had no objections to this method of purchase. After all, there were more than thirty XTN models. If they bought twenty to thirty units of each model, the total order would be seven to eight hundred units. The total value of the orders reached at least five hundred million US dollars.
With more than ten customers, it was another large order of seven to eight billion US dollars.
However, whether it was the Mark drone series or the XTN robot series, it was only a small part of the deal for both parties. The real deal was still the dozen or so military technologies in Blacklight Biotechnology's hands that surpassed those of other countries.
For example, "directional aiming", "long-range environmental sensing", "Coriolis effect simulation", "new rifling", and so on.
This was because Chen Chen did not plan to turn these technologies into a one-off deal. Instead, he planned to turn them into various preferential policies. Therefore, the two parties engaged in intense negotiations with Blacklight Biotechnology.
At the same time, the public relations team led by Xia Yin also went to several important continents around the world to carry out similar negotiations.
After several months of lengthy negotiations, coupled with Blacklight Biotechnology's intentional concession, they finally reached an agreement with the top four continents of the Earth Federation — Northern America, Central Continent, Europe, and the North Sea Continent.
After reaching an agreement, Blacklight Biotechnology would establish branch companies in more than a dozen major cities in each continent. At the same time, they would set up research institutes and sanatoriums, forming a small local organization similar to the Eco Science City.
After that, these sanatoriums could take advantage of the local advantages and quickly seize the sanatoriums market there.
After all, everyone knew that some local medical institutions had been secretly using Blacklight Biotechnology's patented technology to treat patients without paying any patent fees. Now that Blacklight Biotechnology had arrived in the local area, it was only natural that they could carry out the task of safeguarding their rights.
Meanwhile, the branch companies and research institutes could continue to research various biotechnology. Even applying for drug certification in the local area would be much easier.
The reason why Chen Chen was so determined to spread his seeds all over the world was because of the market.
With the establishment of the branch companies, it was equivalent to opening up the market in these areas. From then on, whether it was talent or goods, they could be easily transported, without the huge cost as before.
For the sake of a larger market and greater benefits in the future, Chen Chen naturally would not care about the petty profits now.
Time flew by in a hurry as the global situation continued to change. At the end of May, when Blacklight Biotechnology and the various continents had negotiated the conditions for the establishment of branch companies, Little X suddenly reminded Chen Chen.
"You're saying that Osmond Biotechnology has acquired a small pharmaceutical workshop and there's a man named Rowling Kate in this small pharmaceutical workshop?"
At this time, when he heard the news from Little X, Chen Chen could not help raising an eyebrow with a faint smile.
Osmond Biotechnology was none other than the name of the company that the protagonist of Deadly Crisis: A Shocking Scheme, the first film Chen Chen had invested in and produced three years ago.
Due to the popularity of this name, there was indeed a company with the same name in reality. Not only that, because he suspected that there was something fishy about the movie, Chen Chen also paid close attention to this company. Not only that, but he even interfered during the company's Series B financing and indirectly acquired 50% of the company's shares.
At this point, Blacklight Biotechnology became the shareholder with the highest shareholding in Osmond Biotechnology. Even the founder of this company, John Parker, only held 15%.
However, because this share was bought from someone else, when the other party signed the contract, they had agreed with Osmond that they would not interfere with the company's internal affairs, so now Blacklight Biotechnology could not interfere with the internal affairs of Osmond.
As time approached the date in the movie, this company seemed to have turned on a cheat, constantly breaking through the difficulties related to Alzheimer's disease, achieving something that even international pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson could not do.
Although there was still a long way to go before the successful development of a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease, it still caused countless people to discuss it.
And now, this Osmond Biotechnology Company had quietly acquired a small workshop, and at the same time, a person named Rowling Kate had joined the company?
Of course, Chen Chen remembered this name. He was the protagonist of Deadly Crisis: A Shocking Scheme. He was also the main member who led a team and successfully developed AD-001.
"Currently, Rowling Kate has been invited by the founder of Osmond to join the special attack team. They're conducting research in a secret laboratory, but this laboratory is not connected to the external network. Every time they enter the laboratory to conduct experiments, they'll place all their electronic products outside."
Little X explained, "Therefore, so far, I haven't received any information from inside the laboratory."
Chen Chen nodded with emotion and sighed. "When I first watched Deadly Crisis: A Shocking Scheme, I only suspected that the movie was related to reality. Now, I'm almost a hundred percent sure that the plot of this movie might really happen in reality..."
Little X also sighed. "I can't quite believe that all of this is really happening, but first it was our GS Combat Suit, then the research on Alzheimer's disease drugs, then we just happened to acquire the shares of their company, and now the protagonist, Rowling Kate, has appeared...
"With so many coincidences added together, a coincidence is no longer a coincidence but an inevitability, Sir Godfather..."
Little X suddenly changed the topic with a look of interest. "Say, if we suddenly make a move now and arrest the protagonist, will the original history be changed?"
Chen Chen shook his head when he heard this and showed a cautious expression. "Let's not do that for now, we have to wait. Let's not talk about whether the plot of the movie can be changed. Even if it can be changed, I can't guarantee that the changed plot won't cause some kind of chain reaction.
"Perhaps, after changing the plot, there won't be any major accidents, but perhaps, after the change, there will be consequences that we can't predict..."
"Alright."
Little X could only lower her head when she heard this.
"But for things that aren't described in the plot, we can make some plans."
Suddenly, Chen Chen changed the topic. "For example, we can install a micro-bug in the laboratory to monitor their movements at any time. This way, it'll be less likely for accidents to occur."
"Understood, I'll send a few Black Knights to Osmond."
Little X replied.
"Send a few more people. On the day the AD-001 is developed, we can pursue him according to the direction of the plot, but we don't have to show any mercy. If we kill him during the pursuit, it means that it's too easy to change the plot. This kind of change won't cause too much of an impact, but if our Black Knights really can't kill him no matter what..."
Chen Chen paused for a moment and wore a solemn expression. "That means that there may be some kind of inertia in this world that we can't break right now."
"What about the ending of the movie?"
Little X continued to ask, "According to the plot at the end of the movie, the protagonist finally braved countless dangers and finally delivered the drug to the superior of his own faction on the board of directors. However, he found that the superior was dressed in the same black tights as the people who were hunting him down. Should we also arrange for the same thing at the endpoint?"
"That's right."
Chen Chen replied, "When the time comes, I'll be waiting there in person. I'd like to see what happens after AD-001 is handed over to me."
After making these decisions, Chen Chen returned to the Spire Experimental Base.
During this period, with the addition of James Watson, the father of DNA, as well as the three most outstanding research stars under Chen Chen — Hannibal, Li Lei, and Neumann — the secrets of the black goo and the G-virus were constantly being unraveled, revealing deeper characteristics.
In a level-5 biosafety laboratory, Chen Chen sat in the enclosed attic on the second floor, silently observing the continuous experiments carried out underground.
However, this time, the subject of the experiment was not the Delta-level subjects, but a more precious experimental subject — the Black Knights.
At this time, Chen Chen only saw Watson instructing Hannibal to take out a carefully wrapped syringe. The needle of this syringe was extremely long and narrow. It did not look like it was made of ordinary metal but a pure black special metal.
Inside the complicated syringe, there was a pool of red liquid. The color was even redder than fresh blood, but it was extremely clear.
At this time, as Chen Chen watched with great interest, he saw Hannibal take out the syringe, then with a precise grip, he slowly inserted it into the heart of the naked Black Knight.
When the syringe was completely inserted into the Black Knight's body, the syringe was automatically activated. With a "hiss", all the liquid was injected into the Black Knight's body.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
It only took three seconds for the Black Knight to start trembling.
From the initial slow trembling to the violent trembling, only seven seconds had passed. Then, a scene that Chen Chen would never forget for the rest of his life — appeared!
Under Chen Chen's watchful gaze, the Black Knight suddenly expanded. This expansion was the expansion of the internal muscles, as if a person had grown hundreds of new muscles in an instant. These muscles continued to protrude and soon, the original skin was squeezed and cracked, revealing the scarlet muscle lines within.
However, this was only the beginning. In the next second, the cracked skin healed at an even faster speed. However, after the healing, the skin turned from the color of an ordinary person to a dark brown. At the same time, a large number of keratin layers grew on the outer layer. These keratin layers covered the entire body of the Black Knight almost in the blink of an eye.
After that, there was a series of cracking sounds inside the Black Knight's body. It seemed like the bones were growing as well. In short, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Black Knight had grown into a monster more than three meters tall and more than five hundred kilograms in less than fifteen seconds!
