79: Chapter 79 Super Soldier Project: The Dragon Kingdom Army is Full of Supermen

"My meaning is very simple."

Lin Yun pointed at the nanobot medical pod that was still running, a haughty arc curling at the corner of his lips.

"Since this machine can repair cells, it can optimize them. Since it can reconstruct muscles, it can strengthen them."

"I want every soldier in the Dragon Kingdom to possess physical capabilities far exceeding human limits, an iron will, and... combat power sufficient to deal with any interstellar threat!"

These words were like dropping a nuclear bomb onto a calm lake.

Elder Chen and several military bigwigs gasped in unison.

"Comrade Lin Yun, this is no joking matter!" said a chief instructor in charge of training the entire army, his voice dry.

"The human body has limits. Forced modification might lead to unpredictable rejection reactions, and could even affect the soldiers' lifespans!"

"Limits?" Lin Yun laughed, his laughter carrying a disdain for the science of the old era.

"The so-called limits exist only because your horizons are still stuck at the level of carbon-based organisms."

He walked to the console and pulled up a complex human genetic map.

"Look here." Lin Yun pointed to a sequence marked as 'dormant genes'.

"The human gene pool inherently carries powerful abilities left behind by our ancient ancestors, such as survival capabilities in extreme environments, explosive power comparable to a cheetah, and instantaneous reaction speeds surpassing computers."

"It's just that during the long process of evolution, these abilities were 'switched off' to adapt to a comfortable environment."

"And the one thing my nanobots will do is—"

Lin Yun's finger tapped heavily on the screen.

"Switch these 'switches' back on!"

He turned his head to look at the decorated veterans who had just recovered their bodies.

"General Li, fellow seniors, I have a bolder proposal."

"Are you willing to become the seed instructors for the Dragon Kingdom's first batch of 'Super Soldiers'?"

"I will perform the second phase of enhancement for you, restoring your bodily functions to the peak state of a thirty-year-old, or even... surpassing that peak!"

General Li Yunlong was the first to step forward, his newly 'grown' left leg filled with explosive power.

"Kid Lin, enough with the nonsense!"

"My life was given to me by you; forget about being some Super Soldier, even if you told me to tear apart aliens with my bare hands, I wouldn't even frown!"

"Let's do it!"

"That's right! Count me in!"

Over a hundred veterans were impassioned; their trust in Lin Yun had already surpassed their fear of the unknown.

"Good!" A fanatical light flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.

"From today on, the 'Pangu - Super Soldier' project is officially launched!"

The following month.

This military medical center became the highest-level restricted area in the Dragon Kingdom.

The first batch to undergo modification were exactly the one hundred decorated veterans including Li Yunlong.

When Li Yunlong walked out of the medical pod for the second time, he had completely changed.

His full head of white hair had surprisingly returned to mostly black, the wrinkles on his face had faded significantly, and his entire body exuded a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

He walked to the strength tester, took a deep breath, and punched out fiercely.

"Bang!"

The special alloy instrument, capable of withstanding a ten-ton strike, saw the values on its screen skyrocket, finally going off the charts amidst a piercing alarm!

"Highest record: Fifteen tons!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

This was still the power of a single punch? This was practically a miniature siege hammer!

Immediately following this were speed tests, reaction tests, endurance tests...

All of Li Yunlong's data comprehensively surpassed every record in human history.

He could run at a speed of three seconds per hundred meters, predict the trajectory of bullets amidst a hail of gunfire, and even conduct high-intensity combat for seventy-two hours without sleep or rest.

This was no longer a human; this was a superhero wearing human skin!

"Awesome! So awesome!" Li Yunlong, feeling the inexhaustible power within his body, roared at the sky in excitement.

And this was just the beginning.

Under the successful demonstration of the 'seed instructors' like Li Yunlong, the most elite special forces in the entire Dragon Kingdom began entering the medical center in batches to receive modifications.

The 'East Sea Dragon' special forces unit, after having their underwater breathing capabilities optimized by nanobots, could lurk in the deep sea at five hundred meters for over three hours without carrying any equipment.

The 'Snowfield Eagle' special forces unit, after strengthening their cold-resistance and hypoxia-resistance genes, could engage in combat at the peak of Mount Everest while wearing only thin clothing.

The 'Red Hacker' unit responsible for cyber warfare, after optimizing their brain neural connection speeds, had thinking speeds and multi-threading processing capabilities that even surpassed most supercomputers.

The Dragon Kingdom's army was undergoing a transformative metamorphosis at an incredible speed.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun was not idle either.

He used this time to integrate all the black technology he had previously obtained.

The 'anti-gravity engine' was installed on the new generation of individual flight wings, granting every Super Soldier the ability to fly freely.

The 'plasma shield' technology was miniaturized into portable energy shields.

Even the 'Artificial Intelligence Nuwa' was split into countless sub-routines to serve as the exclusive tactical AI assistant for every soldier.

A month later.

When the first batch of ten thousand modified Super Soldiers, wearing 'Dragon Scale' combat suits that were pitch black and shimmering with blue energy patterns, stood in perfect unison before Lin Yun.

That earth-shattering momentum made the clouds in the sky recede.

Lin Yun looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

This was the army he wanted to build.

An invincible army capable of crushing stars and conquering the universe.

Just then, Elder Chen walked over with a grave expression.

He handed Lin Yun a red-headed document.

"Comrade Lin Yun, the Supreme Command just passed a resolution."

"A month from now, we will hold an unprecedented 'New Century' military parade in the capital."

"There are two purposes."

"First, to show the whole world our brand new power and completely dispel the fantasies of those remnant forces."

"Second..." Elder Chen paused, raised his head, and looked at the sky, his eyes becoming incomparably profound.

"It is also to flex our muscles to those 'things' hiding on the far side of the moon."

"Tell them that today's Earth, today's Dragon Kingdom, is no longer a backyard they can manipulate at will!"

Lin Yun took the document, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"A military parade?"

"Very well."

"I also want to see, when my ten thousand 'supermen' march in unison down Chang'an Avenue."

"What kind of reaction will this world have?"

"Or perhaps, whether those so-called 'gods' will dare to show their faces and come play with us?"
