75: Chapter 75 Gene Agents

Serial Number HQL-J001 Individual Gene Medicine: Increases individual base stats by 15%, including: vitality, strength, memory, vision, hearing, taste, speed, explosive power, and all other physical function indicators.

This Gene Medicine is a one-time functional agent; stacking is ineffective. The method of administration is: bodily injection.

The individual function enhancement mechanism is permanent. The primary agent calculates data based on the body's baseline functions to provide the boost. The next level of Gene Medicine will perform calculations again based on the data after the initial boost, and so on.

Note: 1. After the body is injected with the Gene Medicine, it will enter a coma. After 24 hours, the agent will activate the individual's nervous system, and the individual will wake up. The process must not be interrupted; otherwise, the transformation process will fail, and this drug injection will be deemed a failure.

2. The individual Gene Medicine is only for use by the specific individual; otherwise, this Gene Medicine will be ineffective and may even cause irreversible damage to the experimental body. This warning requires special attention.

3. The ultimate purpose of the Gene Medicine provided by the system is to reshape the system host's physical functions and correct the direction of genetic mutation to achieve adaptability to a certain specific environment.

4. This Gene Medicine has no side effects. Aside from the improvement of various basic functions, it has no impact on the body's original memory, personality, preferences, and other acquired behaviors.

Chu Ge continued to scroll down. The following section was basically the ingredient ratio of natural additives for the Gene Medicine, the ratio of chemical compounds, synthesis equations for new chemical compounds, etc.

Seeing this, the information regarding the Gene Medicine was basically finished. Chu Ge always felt something was wrong, so he went back to read it again, even chewing over it word by word.

Finally, he found certain terms, then stopped there to think for a long time, but had no clue.

"System Big Brother, regarding the third point of the Gene Medicine precautions, what does 'to achieve adaptability to a certain specific environment' mean?"

"And also, 'correct the direction of genetic mutation'? This Gene Medicine is going to modify genes, right? It's not just simple body strengthening as I imagined, uh, like Liuwei Dihuang Pills."

[Liuwei Dihuang Pills? What is that?]

"Alright, it seems you haven't learned about this yet. It's, it's just similar to your medicine, enhancing physical constitution."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he covered his face, unable to bring himself to laugh out loud.

[Correcting the direction of genetic mutation will only correct it in a direction favorable to the host; there is no need to worry about this.]

[As for the 'certain specific environment' mentioned later, the system's default response is for the host to continue upgrading!]

"Ha, that statement is practically your trump card, huh? Fine, fine, asking you is useless anyway. Alright, anyway, I've already boarded your pirate ship; I probably can't get off now even if I wanted to."

[...]

Chu Ge decided to just lie flat; there was no choice. 500 million reputation points had already been spent, and Chu Ge instinctively felt that System Big Brother probably wouldn't harm him.

He had a faint guess in his heart, but as for whether it was true or not, he would have to keep moving forward to see.

Chu Ge brought up the data issued by System Big Brother and copied the formula for the Gene Medicine in its entirety. This time, he was extremely, extremely careful, especially with those chemical equations. After he finished writing, he compared it with the source data and checked it bit by bit twice.

There was no other way; if he accidentally got a letter wrong, or the composition dosage or something, then it would be over, and he would have played himself to death.

And there was no antidote. To die just as he had become famous throughout the world would be too premature.

After Chu Ge finished with all the data, he carefully placed the Gene Medicine formula into a file folder, then washed up and prepared to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Chu Ge sorted through today's gains. He always felt that as he moved further forward, this System Big Brother became more mysterious; how was it becoming more and more like that supercomputer, the "Red Queen"?

Chu Ge shivered. Forget it. According to the normal plot, Blue Star, this resource-poor planet, really didn't have much to show off other than having so many types of organic life.

As for how the Gene Medicine would be manufactured, and the 24 hours of "playing dead" after using it, Chu Ge thought for a long time and decided to ask Academician Chen for help.

After struggling for a long time, Chu Ge decided that he would probably have to tell a little lie to Academician Chen this time. Primarily, this matter couldn't be brought out into the open.

There were many details that couldn't be explained consistently; in such times, the best solution was to say nothing at all.

To avoid complications, Chu Ge went to Academician Chen's office early the next morning.

"Academician Chen, I'm here."

"Oh, Little Chu, you haven't come to see me for several days. One doesn't go to the Hall of Three Treasures without a reason; have you encountered any difficulties?"

"No, it's just that Li Gang and the others are working on research and development step by step. It is estimated that within a week, several main subsystems of the individual soldier system will bear fruit."

"That's good. Have you thought about the next step in the plan?"

"Yes, I have. We will launch the Aerospace Aircraft Carrier project, proceeding in stages. The Nuclear Fusion Engine, armor system, energy system, hangar, communication command station, etc., will all enter the preliminary preparation work according to the plan."

Academician Chen, who was watering the flowers, stopped the watering action abruptly after hearing this and turned to look at Chu Ge.

"Good, Little Chu. I've been waiting for you to announce the launch of the Aerospace Aircraft Carrier project. This way, this old man of mine can finally have something to look forward to."

Academician Chen was beaming. Chu Ge saw that his hand holding the watering can was trembling, and the soil in the flowerpot was already wet, with water slowly overflowing.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Chen! Your flowers."

"Oh, oh, look at my memory!"

Academician Chen hurriedly put the watering can aside, then found a rag to wipe up the overflowing water.

"But before that, Academician Chen, I want to test data on several types of coolants. I may need several new chemical compounds. I'll have to trouble you to contact the corresponding biochemical Research Institute and let them help out."

"That's no problem, it's a small matter. Your project, Chu Ge, is now the express lane for the entire system; everyone will go all out without hesitation."

"Alright, Academician Chen. Oh, for the sake of confidentiality, the new chemical compounds might need to be synthesized separately, and then brought to us for the final experiment."

"Good!"

Academician Chen agreed without hesitation. The stone in Chu Ge's heart finally fell to the ground, though he still felt a bit guilty.

After coming out of Academician Chen's office, Chu Ge didn't go back immediately. He uncharacteristically walked along one of the north-south main roads of the Research Institute, a bit aimlessly.

On the road, people from the Research Institute greeted Chu Ge one after another when they saw him, and Chu Ge responded mechanically.

After walking for a long time, Chu Ge finally reached the end. In the distance, dozens of excavators were busy working. Chu Ge knew that those were the Research Institute's new experimental factory buildings and dormitory buildings.

The Research Institute was still constantly expanding. Perhaps many other engineers and experts would move in here before long.

Because of Chu Ge, the Research Institute had already expanded by who knew how many times.

Chu Ge looked at the newly paved asphalt road under his feet; the brand-new surface seemed to have just solidified and was still emitting the smell of asphalt.
