655: Chapter 655 Su Daji

“You gave them vaccines, didn’t you?” Shen Huiying asked.

“That’s right, most of them. And a very few individuals developed antibodies themselves after being infected with the virus,” Oriental Chen said.

That “very few” referred to Luo’er.

“I suspect the reason might lie here.”

Shen Huiying stopped working when the virus broke out and had not deeply researched it.

So, she was only guessing now.

“How so?” Oriental Chen asked.

“The principle by which zombies and Cultivators produce crystalss is similar, but the methods are different.”

“The reason zombies can quickly produce crystalss is that they concentrate all their body’s energy together. Therefore, they inevitably die during the process of forming a crystals.”

“However, for Cultivators to form a crystals, as far as I know, genetic factors play a decisive role. Some people, from birth, will slowly and naturally accumulate bio-energy within their bodies, and then successfully form a 1st Order crystals at an appropriate age. Only such people can embark on the path of cultivation; most people cannot,” Shen Huiying explained.

Oriental Chen was enlightened instantly.

“Xiao Lin, immediately simulate this idea and find the code segment for crystals condensation from the human gene sequence,” Oriental Chen said.

“Commander, there is a lack of references, so a model cannot be established,” Xiao Lin replied.

“What’s the reason?” Oriental Chen was stunned.

“The coordinated cooperation of various human functions is essentially the mutual cooperation between different gene segments. Without references, it is difficult to determine the location and quantity of segments that influence the phenotype,” Xiao Lin explained.

Oriental Chen understood; it was like writing a complex system code.

There were interconnections and references between different code segments.

Trying to achieve an uncertain function by randomly changing one segment of code was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

In most cases, it would just crash the system.

“I need your blood for analysis. I wonder if you would agree?” Oriental Chen asked.

“You want to find the gene that determines the condensation of crystalss in the body, right?” Shen Huiying asked.

“Exactly.”

“Don’t bother; it’s useless. What if you find it? Can you still change the genes of an adult? Unless you use cloning to artificially cultivate new individuals with Cultivator genes.”

“However, someone has already tried this path, and it ultimately failed. The Shang Gong Institute secretly began related research 50 years ago, but the cultivated individuals all had various genetic defects and died before reaching the age to form a crystals,” Shen Huiying replied, shaking her head.

Shen Huiying was evaluating this matter based on current technological levels; what she didn't know was that for Oriental Chen, this was not a problem.

However, genetic technology involved significant implications, and he could not disclose it.

“The situation is different now; zombies are abundant, and crystalss are inexhaustible. To be honest, I have to admire you. You actually thought of a method to mass-produce crystalss by raising rats. And you even successfully developed weapons and equipment powered by crystals energy. You truly are a genius,” Shen Huiying complimented.

“You flatter me. I want to know, what is your identity?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Me? I have too many names; I can’t even remember them all myself. But there’s one name you should have heard of.”

“What name?”

“Su Daji.”

“You are Su Daji? This… this must mean you are even older than Xu Fu?” Oriental Chen was so shocked his mouth hung open.

Su Daji lived during the time of King Zhou of Shang. From a time calculation, the Shen Huiying in front of him was at least over 3,000 years old!

How exaggerated!

The waters of Huaguo were indeed unfathomably deep!

“To be precise, Su Daji is just one of my names. As for whether I am older than Xu Fu, one cannot jump to conclusions. Those who can live to the present are all deeply hidden.”

“When the Shang Dynasty fell, if I hadn’t faked my death to deceive Jiang Ziya, I would have been decapitated long ago. Since then, for over 3,000 years, I have lived as an ordinary person, which is how I was fortunate enough to survive to this day.”

Oriental Chen did not comment on the character of this person who was once Su Daji. When a general succeeds, ten thousand bones wither; who can truly explain the rights and wrongs of the past?

“How long did it take you to cultivate to 7th Order?” Oriental Chen was still more concerned about the advancement of Mutants.

“Three thousand years ago, when I was Su Daji, King Zhou of Shang’s woman, I should have been in the Golden Core stage, which, according to your terms, is a 3rd-Order Mutated Individual. You can calculate the rest yourself.”

“How did you cultivate?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Back then, there were no cultivation methods. I always improved slowly and naturally. It wasn't until the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, when I was living in a village, that I met a very powerful person. He taught me a method of breathing and meditation, and only then did I formally embark on the path of cultivation.”

“What was his name?” Oriental Chen asked.
