Drip … Drip … Drip … Drip …
Viscous liquid dripped down from the operating table to the ground. Adams slowly embedded the targeted gene protein into the host's cells. Beside him, Culeja quickly sutured the nerve gap without any expression on her face. At the same time, she implanted unstable biological compounds (biological explosives) into the surrounding muscles during the suturing process. It was similar to using the internal muscle tissue to reconstruct a special organ.
"These are the living cells extracted from Mr. Five. They have undergone the sticky effect of the new generation of rust worms …" Adams explained all kinds of weird terms.
Mr. 5 had been secretly transferred from the East Sea 153 branch to the pyramid a month ago. He had become a "lab rat", and Adams had extracted some biological cells for research and extraction.
"So, the self-exploding experiment was a success, right?" Yarlin interrupted and went straight to the heart of the matter.
"As you wish!" Adams snapped his fingers. The transformed body that had been sutured stood up from the experiment table. Every beat of its chest was abnormally powerful, as if a high-pressure water pump was constantly pumping inside. Terrifying heat was flowing out of all the pores on its body.
"Very good. How was the power of the explosion?"
"The explosion range was more than 50 meters, but the real lethality was within 20 meters. After experiments, it was found that the explosion could destroy most of the material buildings in an instant. It was an effective lethality for the radius within the explosion range." Adams held a notebook full of experimental data and tried to explain it to Yarlin in layman's terms. "At the center of the explosion, which is within a radius of 20 meters, an ordinary person's internal organs would be crushed by the air pressure generated by the explosion within one second. Then, the bones and muscles of the body would be shattered and vaporized by the high temperature. Not even a bit of residue would be left. The whole process would take less than three seconds."
"It's meaningless to use ordinary people as a reference for experiments." Yarlin was not interested in the data.
"I knew you would say that. So, I experimented with transformed soldiers." Adams laughed strangely. His tone was that of a mad scientist's indifference to life. "The air pressure generated by the explosion was not lethal, and the high temperature was not enough to kill the transformed soldiers in an instant. This synthetic life has extremely tenacious vitality. However, the rust worms added to the self-exploding body would cause a rapid acceleration at the moment of the explosion. It's probably like thousands of steel needles piercing through a sea of fire and then piercing the muscles, bones, and internal organs of the transformed soldiers, causing fatal damage. In the end, the self-exploding body, the transformed soldiers, and the rusty worms that reproduce the explosion would all be swallowed up by the flames."
"If the power of the explosion is enough to kill the transformed body, then the instantaneous lethality is very impressive, especially if it's mass-produced …" Yarlin licked his lips and looked at the core area of the broodmother, which had expanded during this period of time. At this moment, the area was the size of six football fields. Countless dark transformation cabins were neatly arranged, like countless black coffins filled with fresh flesh and corpses. These were the human lives that had been devoured by the desert of Alabasta during this period of time. They were all found and transported here by the conscientious broodmother from under the yellow sand.
Not only in the transformation cabins, but in places that Adams and the rest could not see with their naked eyes, there were more shapeless pieces of rotten flesh buried in the sand walls of the pyramid. Countless interspersed black threads were entwined on them, like preserved bacon that had been air-dried, waiting for the owner to enjoy it.
"If it's only to transform into a beginner soldier, the current amount of meat can be successfully transformed into 43121 pieces," the broodmother's voice transmitted into Yarlin's mind.
A beginner soldier was transformed into an amphibious murloc soldier with one equivalent of meat, and the transformation success rate was 100%. Taking it a step further, like Evilfang, two or more equivalents of meat could be synthesized and transformed into a more powerful soldier. Of course, it could also be a deformed monster, but there was no way to guarantee the transformation rate. The most likely possibility was that it would be directly blended into a pile of rotten flesh.
"The raw materials for the self-destruct have been obtained. Can the transformation cabins directly synthesize according to my will?" Yarlin asked in his mind.
"Store enough raw materials and carry out the initial information input. The transformation cabins will record this information and copy it to all of the broodmother's databases."
The broodmother's voice reverberated in Yarlin's mind. At the same time, a black tentacle suddenly stretched out from beside Adams' experiment table. The tentacle pierced into the brain of the self-destruct like a needle without any obstruction, as if extracting and copying the contents of the information.
At the same time, all of the transformation cabins strangely lit up with a black glow. Then, touchable buttons appeared on the 'coffin' walls of the transformation cabins. For the time being, there were only three buttons, representing the beginner amphibious murloc soldier, the self-destruct soldier, and the option to synthesize with the current amount.
Adams moved closer to the transformation cabins as if he had discovered a treasure. His electronic eyes observed the three buttons, the cold light flickering like light bulbs. It was obvious that he had guessed and deciphered the meaning of the buttons. Most importantly, it confirmed a guess he had in his heart all this time. "This underground experimental base is a living thing!"
Otherwise, no other reason could explain such an unimaginable and considerate change.
"It's really incredible. If my guess is correct, this strange life form is simply the ultimate manifestation of the fusion of machinery and life." Adams's heart was surging. This base itself was the ultimate goal he had been painstakingly pursuing. He also saw that this "living thing" had an incomprehensible connection with Yarlin.
"Although I am very sorry for Judge's secret funding, in order to get closer to my scientific ideals, I can only choose to lean towards Yarlin." Adams made a decision in his heart.
Yarlin naturally did not know that in this short moment, Adams's heart was violently fluctuating with emotions. He just half-squinted his eyes and thought, "The meat and the rust bugs are definitely enough. Then, the final output that needs to be considered is the living cells extracted from Mr. 5."
"No problem. In fact, we only need to extract some of the cell tissues from his body and reproduce them in the laboratory. Based on the current output, the cells reproduced every day are enough to provide at least 1,000 self-destruct soldiers with materials, and this reproduction speed can continue to be increased!" Adams dispelled Yarlin's doubts. Extraction and reproduction at the biological level were the most proficient basic skills he had mastered.
"So, do we still need him?" Yarlin grinned, but the words he said made Mr. 5 feel cold to the bone.
