Most of the Transcendents present sighed when they talked about the old days of that era.
According to them, the various powers of the inner world were mostly supporters of the research on the evolutionary route. They had invested a lot in it, but they had also profited greatly.
However, in the mid to late eighties, this research route continuously ran into problems. It was said that the accumulation of genetic engineering was insufficient, and there were problems with the design of the key projects. Their actions were also too radical, which led to many serious accidents. It even led to the loss of a few Transcendent seeds with great prospects. This caused the relevant research organizations to suffer greatly, and the investors gradually became more conservative.
As for the inner world, there were even serious conflicts because of this. The gratitude and grudges within were difficult to describe in detail.
The evolutionary route fell into a stagnation period, and there were some setbacks. This was actually a very normal thing in the process of scientific research. The problem was that at that stage, a powerful substitute had appeared.
The Archetype Format.
Once the Archetype Format theory came out, Deep Blue was established and outshone the others in the relevant fields. Capital and resources tended to be concentrated, and under this situation, the evolutionary route suffered the most painful blow.
Project Deep Blue was indeed a monster with an enormous appetite. When the project first started, it practically swept away all the original research organizations and talents of the evolutionary route. Some of the research results were also used by Deep Blue, and it gradually turned into a path of human body strengthening and modification, which was the prerequisite for Burners.
If not for this, and they really had to start from scratch, it would have been very difficult for Project Deep Blue to produce such mature and complete results as Burners and Deep Blue Platform in a short three to five years.
All this time, the inner world had the custom of saying no to modified humans, and there was a lot of rejection towards Burners. Apart from the sense of superiority from self-awakening, the experience of being possessed was also one of the reasons.
Of course, there was also the godly operation of saying that Burners were not modified humans and swallowing the words that had been spat out. That was a matter of another level.
Speaking of this, Black Lion was still trying to sell Old Els for a good price. "Old Els hated this to no end. In the seventies and eighties, Old Els had always been an important investor in this field. Under his leadership, when the LCRF was first established, he took out a lot of resources and invested them, but in the end, it almost went to waste.
"The fact that the Deep Blue project was able to receive a trillion-dollar investment when it was first established has nothing to do with the investors' vision. Instead, it's largely because the investors are seeking to prevent losses."
The Blood Demon concluded simply, "It's like making a wedding dress for someone else … But now, aren't they still shouting 'How nice'?"
Black Lion didn't respond to this topic. He just faced Luo Nan and said, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly. It doesn't matter if it's the Archetype Format or Formatting Theory. In that period of time, it could be said that standard conceptual design defeated basic research.
"'Evolution' is basically an extension of the original technical route. It seems stable, but in fact, there is still a lack of accumulation. Most of the time, I can't see any difference from the basic research of the past. The lack of surprises in the capital market was why the Deep Blue project had replaced it with the fresh and feasible Archetype Format theory.
"But up until now, not a single Burner has been able to enter the domain of Transcendents. The Dao is the pinnacle, and their accomplishments are locked … and that's because they haven't been able to explore the foundational level and make the most fundamental changes.
"Brother, if you can make Formatting Theory sink even further and come up with a feasible framework at the genetic level, it would be a great achievement!"
There was the smell of a serious discussion.
Luo Nan didn't want to get involved in academic discussions, but he didn't want to stray too far from the topic. He gave a slight nod, accepting Black Lion's opinion. Soon, he brought the topic back:
"According to what you're saying, the Mutation and Bloodline projects are very much in line with the logic of capital?"
"That's right!" Black Lion spoke with great confidence. "Look, the basic purpose of the Aberration technology is to adapt and correct the irreversible effects of aberrations. As long as we're still surrounded by aberrations, as long as the aberration infection isn't eliminated, this research must continue. This is a necessity, and there's a huge market for it.
"As for the Bloodline project, it was personally led by Li Wei. It's the most mysterious and high-end project. There's even a saying that it's a reverse decryption route. It's a reference to some existing perfect template to extract golden stem cells …. "
The surrounding air flow was a bit sluggish, but it was still within an acceptable range.
Luo Nan laughed, "Perfect template? What perfect template …. Plus, does this have anything to do with templates? "
Luo Nan didn't continue to speak after a few mocking words. He didn't continue the conversation either. He just swept his gaze over to Tu Ge before returning to the domain of Mutation.
"You just said that Mutation research is very profitable in the market?"
"Of course. Plus, the closer the research target is to people, the more money there is. "
"It can't be infection prevention and control, right?"
"Hehe. Brother, why do you ask when you already know the answer? You've seen the materials in Clay's laboratory. I don't need to remind you. Right now, this controllable Mutation technology is becoming more and more popular in the investment circle. It used to be deep underwater, but looking at it now, it's like a deep water bomb. Perhaps a large oil field will be blown up! "
Luo Nan had a bad feeling when he heard Black Lion's explanation.
"The hotter this domain is, the more it proves …."
"The Mutation infection has already gone out of control!" Black Lion rapped the table with his thick knuckles, causing the water in the cup to ripple. "I don't need to say anything. The area I'm in has never been good. All sorts of vagrant laws have been rolled out in the other territories. They're pretty much a complete mess. "
"The most direct problem is that the Mutation infection has gone through several generations of transmission and mutation. The infected can no longer be simply described as a monster that has gone berserk. The transmission power hasn't decreased, and statistics have become even more difficult. No one can clearly calculate this mess. "
"Not to mention that there are all sorts of people and powers adding fuel to the fire. The corresponding acceptance rate is increasing without end …. The eastern part of the Old Continent is a conservative region. They have always severely rejected problems involving genetic pollution. You can't use your way of thinking to expand to the entire world."
"For the sake of expanding the Mutation infection, a special Orgy is being held.
Do you want to know more about it? In many cities of the New Continent, if a young person hasn't participated in this sort of party, then they're considered to be behind the times.
"Also, let's not talk about anything else. There are quite a few Mutation Infected people on this ship. A large number of high level bodyguards have already undergone body modification or mutation modulation. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to even find a job. This is an open secret of high society …. "
Black Lion talked without end. Evidence emerged one after another. Actually, Luo Nan had heard Peony talk about these things before. It wasn't anything new, and he wasn't particularly surprised. He just muttered to himself.
Black Lion finally concluded, "The objective situation is like this. Everyone understands it, but they don't make it public. Everyone has their own plans. The problem is that the subjective thoughts displayed from this are the most crucial. In the minds of those who approve of this trend, the Mutation can already be viewed as another kind of 'awakening' …. "
Before Black Lion could finish his summary, at least three Extraordinaries in the surroundings let out cold snorts or sneers.
Black Lion acted as if he didn't hear anything. He continued to add, "It's not just those idiots who join in the fun and chase after fashion. In fact, this is becoming more and more like a new consensus in the capital circles, in a considerable portion of the ruling circles, and even in some circles of the inner world. "
