51: Retrospect and Future! The Value of T-Virus Serum!

"An instruction manual?"

Hearing this word, Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood General Lin Zhan's meaning.

The t-virus serum—its danger and value were equally immense.

It was like a razor-sharp double-edged sword; if used well, it could give birth to 'Trisolarans' who defied common logic.

It would lead Dragon Kingdom's Bioengineering to achieve leapfrog development.

But once it spiraled out of control, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.

Not to mention those zombies in the instance.

Although Dragon Kingdom had obtained the primary technology tree for "Bioengineering."

But that was just a broad framework after all; to decipher a creation of the t-virus's level would likely still take a long time.

And right now, what they lacked most was time.

Because no one knew when the next national destiny arena would descend.

At the same time, those countries with ill intentions would surely take advantage of this time like red-eyed ghouls to come and carve up Dragon Kingdom's rewards.

Right now, they were merely too busy with their punishments to temporarily deal with Dragon Kingdom.

"I understand."

Su Yuan nodded, his expression becoming serious.

"I'll try to see if I can find any relevant information in the system."

As he spoke, he completely immersed his attention into his administrator system panel.

First, he opened the [instance management] module and found the [Zombie Siege] instance he had already cleared.

At the very bottom of the instance description, a new line had appeared that wasn't there before—an unlocked entry.

[Instance Core Item Deciphering]

Su Yuan felt a surge of joy and immediately clicked on it.

A detailed item description page popped up.

[Item Name: t-virus original serum (Perfect Version)]

[Item Source: The final creation improved and perfected on the basis of the t-virus by Dr. Osborn, who dedicated his entire life's effort to it.]

[Item Effects:]

[1. Genetic Optimization: After injection, it can optimize and recombine the organism's gene chains, significantly enhancing various physical functions such as strength, speed, agility, and self-healing ability, while also extending lifespan.]

[2. Evolutionary Potential: There is a very low probability of awakening special abilities matching one's own genetic sequence (e.g., pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, etc.).]

[3. Virus Immunity: After injection, the individual will be immune to infection from the t-virus and all its variants.]

[Usage Requirements:]

[1. Applicable Subjects: Only effective for organisms with stable genetic sequences and strong mental willpower.]

[2. Method of Use: Intravenous injection must be performed in a low-temperature, sterile environment. After injection, the subject must be immersed in a high-concentration nutrient solution to maintain stable vital signs; the entire process takes approximately 72 hours.]

[Side Effects:]

[1. Genetic Collapse: If the injector's genetic sequence is unstable or their mental willpower is weak, there is a 99.99% probability that the gene chains will completely collapse, causing them to mutate into a mindless monster.]

[2. Mental Shock: Within 72 hours of injection, the injector will endure immense mental shock and the pain of physical transformation. Failure to survive this will also lead to mutation or death.]

[Remarks: This is the ultimate serum prepared by Dr. Osborn for the "Perfect Human Project." Danger and opportunity coexist; please use with caution.]

After reading this long list of descriptions, a massive wave of shock surged in Su Yuan's heart.

Perfect Version!

This serum was actually an improved Perfect Version!

Its effects were even more powerful than Su Yuan had imagined!

Not only does it strengthen the body, but there's even a chance to awaken superpowers!

This is simply a "Superman-making potion"!

But at the same time, its side effects were equally terrifying.

A 99.99% failure rate!

Once it fails, one becomes a mindless monster!

This price was truly too high!

"How is it? Comrade Su Yuan, did you find anything?"

Li Guodong, seeing Su Yuan's shifting expression, couldn't help but ask.

Su Yuan took a deep breath and recovered from his shock.

He didn't hide anything and recounted every detail of the information he had seen regarding the t-virus serum to the several leaders present.

When they heard about the serum's heaven-defying strengthening effects, even figures as prominent as Lin Zhan and General Long had a flicker of heat in their eyes.

But when they heard about the terrifying side effects and the nearly 100% failure rate...

That spark of heat was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

"A 99.99% failure rate..."

Li Guodong's mouth twitched.

"This... what's the difference between this and just sending someone to their death?"

"It's not necessarily certain death; perhaps we can find other ways to increase the success rate."

"We should start from the basics and master the relevant technologies step by step. Only when we have a deeper understanding of genetic science and can effectively reduce or even eliminate the side effects should we consider using it. That is the safest way."

Su Yuan's gaze turned toward the newly unlocked [Technology Deciphering] module.

"I have a way to speed up this process."

He explained the functions of the [Technology Deciphering] module to the leaders.

"...In other words, as long as we have enough national fortune points, we can directly reverse-engineer those beyond-the-era biotechnologies from the mall?"

After hearing Su Yuan's explanation, Li Guodong's eyes instantly lit up like 2,000-watt light bulbs.

"Exactly." Su Yuan nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for?!"

Li Guodong slapped his thigh excitedly.

"We have 130,000 national fortune points right now! We're practically swimming in wealth! Buy! We must buy everything!"

"Comrade Su Yuan, quick, look and see if there's any related, impressive biotechnology in the mall? For example, that genetic sequence optimization technology—can it be deciphered directly?"

"Let me see."

Su Yuan immediately opened the Arena Mall and began searching through it.

Soon, his gaze locked onto several technology-type items that were expensive but had extremely enticing effects.

[Product: Fully Automatic Gene Sequencer and Analyzer (Civilian Version)]

[Price: 5,000 national fortune points]

[Points Required for Deciphering: 50,000 points]

[Effect: Can quickly and accurately detect and analyze the genetic sequences of organisms and establish a complete genetic database.]

[Product: Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid (Formula and Manufacturing Process)]

[Price: 10,000 national fortune points]

[Points Required for Deciphering: 90,000 points]

[Effect: A special agent that can stabilize the violent energy within an organism and prevent genetic collapse.]

[Product: Primary Brain Domain Development Technology]

[Price: 20,000 national fortune points]

[Points Required for Deciphering: 200,000 points]

[Effect: Uses safe physical and pharmacological means to stimulate the cerebral cortex, develop brain potential, and enhance intelligence and mental power.]

Looking at these items, Su Yuan's heart once again began to race uncontrollably.

Especially the second one, the Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid!

This thing was practically a safety catch tailor-made for the t-virus serum!

If it could be deciphered, the risk of using the t-virus serum would be infinitely reduced!

"Found it!"

Su Yuan's tone carried a hint of excitement.

"There's a formula for Bio-Energy Stabilizer Fluid in the mall. Its effect is to stabilize the energy inside an organism and prevent genetic collapse! If we can decipher it, the side-effect problem of the t-virus serum can be greatly mitigated!"

"Really?!" Li Guodong and Lin Zhan both stood up excitedly at the same time.

"Then what are we waiting for? Decipher it! How many national fortune points are needed?"

"Buying the formula requires 10,000 points, and complete deciphering requires 90,000 points."

Su Yuan reported the price.

"One hundred thousand points..."

Li Guodong's smile froze on his face.

"This... doesn't this just happen to empty out most of our savings?"

He had just felt like they were swimming in wealth, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to become paupers again?

"It's worth it!"

This time, it was General Long, who had been silent, who spoke up.

He looked at Su Yuan, his eyes filled with trust and determination.

"Comrade Su Yuan, I am putting you in full charge of this matter."

"Use the national fortune points as you wish, and choose whatever technology you want."

"I have only one requirement."

General Long's voice became incredibly solemn.

"I want our Dragon Kingdom to completely master the core technologies of Bioengineering in the shortest possible time! I want the t-virus serum to become the sharpest sword in Dragon Kingdom's hands!"

"Even more, I want our soldiers to no longer need to face those unknown dangers with their own flesh and blood in future national destiny arenas!"

"Can you do it?"

Su Yuan looked at the earnest expectation in the old man's eyes; he straightened his back and nodded heavily.

"I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
