96: Chapter 96 The Hundred Sons Project Launched, Can Lin Yun's Body Withstand It?

"Comrade Lin Yun, your body... has already begun to show irreversible genetic depletion."

In Beijing, on the third basement floor of the "Hive" Pilot Project Command Center, the voice of Professor Fang, the Dragon Kingdom's chief biomedical expert, carried an undisguisable anxiety.

On the holographic projection, a 3D model of a human body was slowly rotating. It was a full-body genetic scan of Lin Yun. On the genetic chains that should have appeared a uniform blue in a normal person, there were now dense, crack-like red markings.

"Nine high-intensity outputs of genetic information—each one is equivalent to tearing a piece from your life source and bestowing it upon your child." Professor Fang pushed up his thick glasses, his tone heavy. "It's like a great tree; you've grafted nine branches in succession. Each one is lush and flourishing, but the trunk... has already begun to hollow out."

"If you continue to reproduce at this rate, within three years, your genetic chain will completely collapse. At that time, forget about extraordinary abilities—you won't even have the lifespan of an ordinary person."

After Professor Fang finished speaking, the entire underground command center fell into a suffocating silence.

Present, besides Lin Yun himself, were Elder Chen and Xiao Zhang, who were attending remotely via holographic projection, as well as Captain Long Ying, who had just returned to Beijing from the dinghai-class warship.

Captain Long Ying's face instantly turned as pale as paper upon hearing this news. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the month-old Babao in her arms, her eyes reddening, though she forced herself to hold back.

"Three years?" Elder Chen's voice came through the projection, aged and trembling. "Comrade Lin Yun, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Lin Yun leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, twirling a pen in his hand, his expression surprisingly calm.

He naturally knew his physical condition. As early as when The Sixth Baby was born, the system had already issued a yellow "genetic depletion" warning. By the time Jiu Bao came into the world, the warning had turned a glaring red.

But he hadn't told anyone.

Because there was no need.

"Professor Fang, are you finished?" Lin Yun yawned, as if what he had just heard wasn't his own death sentence, but a boring weather forecast.

Professor Fang was stunned for a moment. "You..."

"You all seem to have forgotten one thing." Lin Yun stood up, walked to the holographic projection, and lightly tapped the genetic map covered in red cracks.

"The more children I have, the stronger the rewards the system gives. What makes you think that while the system is frantically draining my genes, it wouldn't give me a way to survive?"

The words had just left his mouth.

[Ding! Detected that the host's genetic depletion has reached the critical threshold.]

[The system is urgently initiating the "Source Restoration" protocol!]

[Reward issued: S-rank Genetic Restoration Potion "Phoenix Blood" x1!]

[Potion Description: This potion can completely repair the genetic depletion caused by reproduction and elevate the host's genetic stability to SSS-rank. After consumption, the host's theoretical reproduction limit will increase from the current 12 times to... infinite times.]

[Additional Effect: The host's physical functions will be comprehensively enhanced, and their physiological age will be permanently locked at the peak state of 25 years old.]

Lin Yun looked at the potion emitting a golden-red light in the system space, a wild smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

He knew it!

This "Many Children, Many Blessings" system was essentially a "Scumbag Training Program" that encouraged him to have children like crazy. If you want the horse to run, how could you not let it graze?

"Nuwa, scan this." Lin Yun took the potion from the system space and placed it on the analysis table in front of him.

Ten seconds later, Nuwa's analysis report came out.

"Reporting to Commander: The genetic restoration efficiency of this potion is one million times that of current humanity's most advanced telomere repair technology." "After consumption, your genetic chain will not only return to a perfect state but will be even tougher than its original state." "To put it simply... you will possess a life blueprint that is theoretically infinitely replicable and will never fail."

Professor Fang's glasses almost fell to the floor.

Elder Chen let out a long sigh of relief in the projection, leaning back as a bitter smile appeared on his aged face. He had grown accustomed to it—accustomed to Lin Yun always pulling a solution out like a magic trick at the most desperate moments.

"Comrade Lin Yun, you brat... couldn't you have explained clearly beforehand? This old man's heart can't take your antics."

Lin Yun smiled and tilted his head back, draining the golden-red potion in one gulp.

The next second.

A heat current as scalding as lava poured down his throat into his stomach, then exploded, instantly spreading to every cell in his body!

It felt as if someone had disassembled his entire body into billions of fragments, and then, in an instant, reassembled them in an even more perfect way!

The genetic scan on the holographic projection changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those dense red cracks were receding at an exponential rate, replaced by a gold that was purer and more dazzling than the original blue!

"Report! Host genetic depletion has been completely repaired!" "Current genetic stability rating: SSS!" "Physiological age: 25." "Physical functions: Comprehensively exceeding human limits!" "Estimated lifespan..."

Nuwa's voice suddenly paused.

"Data overflow, unable to calculate."

Professor Fang's notebook slipped from his hand and hit the floor with a thud.

Captain Long Ying stared intently at Lin Yun. The man who had looked slightly weary just moments ago now seemed completely transformed. His skin became as smooth as jade, his eyes as deep as two miniature stars, and his entire being radiated an indescribable aura full of vitality.

Is he even human anymore?

"Feels... good." Lin Yun stretched his limbs, his bones letting out a series of crisp cracks. He felt as though every pore of his body was filled with burgeoning power, as if he could overturn an entire Luan Bird mothership with a single punch.

But he wasn't concerned with how much stronger he had become.

He was concerned with something else.

"Nuwa, since my genetic stability has reached SSS-rank and my theoretical reproduction limit has become 'infinite,' does that mean..."

"Yes, Commander." Nuwa's voice seemed to carry a hint of subtle helplessness. "You can now continue to carry out your... Human Reproduction Plan without any worries."

Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he walked to the command center's main console and pulled up a top-secret report generated by the Red Queen over the past twenty-four hours using deep analysis of global databases.

The title of the report prominently read: "Hundred Sons Plan Feasibility Assessment."

"Elder Chen, Professor Fang, Captain Long Ying, and Xiao Zhang," Lin Yun's voice became more serious than ever before, "what I'm about to say might make you think I'm even crazier."

"But I must do it."

"Because with only nine children, we simply don't have enough."

With a wave of his hand, the Red Queen's analysis report unfolded point by point on the holographic projection.

"According to the intelligence provided by Katerina, the Observers civilization's main fleet consists of over a hundred thousand interstellar warships. Among them, the highest-tier 'Reaper-class' flagships each have a firepower output equivalent to the sum of all nine of our Luan Birds."

"With our current technological level, even with full-scale development, before their main fleet arrives—which is in about fifteen to twenty years—our fleet size can at most expand to five thousand Luan Bird-class ships."

"This number, in the eyes of the Observers, is just an appetizer."

"But—" Lin Yun's tone suddenly shifted, his finger tapping heavily on a set of red-highlighted data in the report.

"The system tells me that every S-rank offspring possesses a unique 'Talent Law' that transcends conventional technological systems. Da Bao's 'Absolute Calculation,' the second baby's 'Matter Reconstruction,' San Bao's 'Energy Control,' the fourth baby's 'Space Folding,' the fifth baby's 'Time Perception,' The Sixth Baby's 'Force Field Reflection,' Qi Bao's 'Law Rewriting,' Babao's 'Oceanic Dominion,' and Jiu Bao's 'Absolute Hacker'..."

"When these talents are combined in a specific way, the 'synergy' they produce will far exceed a simple one plus one equals two."

"And the Red Queen's simulations show—" Lin Yun took a deep breath, "when the number of S-rank offspring reaches one hundred, their Talent Laws will form a perfect 'Law Matrix'!"

"The power of this matrix is theoretically enough to... rewrite the underlying physical laws of the universe!"

"By then, the Observers civilization and their interstellar fleets will be like wet paper before us!"

Having said this, Lin Yun turned around and looked at the crowd, who were speechless from his grand blueprint, a serious yet slightly wicked smile curling his lips.

"Therefore, I need to initiate the 'Hundred Sons Plan'."

"Within the next ten years, I need... at least one hundred S-rank offspring."

"And according to the system's settings, the higher the overall quality of the partner, the greater the probability of birthing an S-rank offspring. In other words..."

Lin Yun's gaze drifted, intentionally or not, to the "Global Top Female Talent Database" compiled by the Red Queen in the corner of the screen.

"I also need more... exceptional partners."

"Bang!"

Captain Long Ying slammed her palm onto the armrest; the titanium alloy armrest actually showed a clear palm print from her strike.

"Lin Yun!" Her heroic and imposing face was filled with complex emotions. "Are you saying that you not only want to continue having children but also find more women to have them with?"

"To be precise, it's for the continuation and evolution of human civilization," Lin Yun corrected solemnly. "This isn't a personal matter; it's a national strategic mission."

"You—!"

"Comrade Long Ying, calm down." Elder Chen's projection moved in front of her, his old eyes, which had seen all the world's changes, now sparkling with a complex light. He knew this young man too well.

Every single one of Lin Yun's seemingly absurd decisions had ultimately proven to be correct. Every single time.

"Comrade Lin Yun, we will discuss the Hundred Sons Plan later." Elder Chen looked at Lin Yun, his tone softening but carrying an unquestionable authority. "But there is one thing you must do right now."

"What is it?"

"Of your nine children, some are almost a year old, and some were just born. As their father, you haven't even personally reviewed their comprehensive test data yet."

Elder Chen's voice carried a rare hint of reproach.

"You can ignore your own body, but you cannot neglect your children. Each one of them is this civilization's most precious treasure."

"Before you go off to save the world, go home and see your children."

"Furthermore," Elder Chen's mouth twitched slightly, "those... partners of yours haven't gathered together in a long time. From what I know, they have... some things they want to say to you in person."

Lin Yun's expression stiffened.

Combat? He didn't fear it. Research? He wasn't afraid. Alien invasion? A piece of cake.

But nine wives getting together...

"Cough, Elder Chen, can we... can we discuss this?"

"No." Elder Chen decisively shut off the communication.

Xiao Zhang was secretly stifling a laugh nearby, his shoulders shaking.

Captain Long Ying's expression actually improved, and a faint smile even played on her lips. Carrying Babao, she passed by Lin Yun and left him with a few words.

"Don't worry, we won't do anything to you."

"It's just that there are some rules that you, our 'national treasure,' should learn to follow."

"After all—" Captain Long Ying turned back, her phoenix-like eyes flashing with a cold yet burning light.

"Your body can now go 'infinite times.'"

"So, shouldn't your time distribution schedule also be fair, just, and public?"

Lin Yun shuddered.

He suddenly felt that the greatest enemy of the "Hundred Sons Plan" might not be the Observers civilization.

But rather... the issue of "power redistribution" within the family.

Just as Lin Yun was getting a headache over the upcoming "Harem Meeting," Xiao Zhang suddenly let out an "Ah!" and jumped up from his seat.

"Lin... Brother Lin!"

"What happened?"

"Da Bao's... Da Bao's latest brainwave scan data just came in from the Academy of Sciences!" Xiao Zhang's face was filled with an indescribable shock bordering on fear.

"Professor Fang asked me to tell you that Da Bao's intelligence assessment results... have exceeded the upper limits of all existing measurement systems!"

"They had to temporarily develop a brand-new assessment system to barely measure a... number that left all the scientists collectively silent!"

"What number?"

Xiao Zhang swallowed and spoke in a solemn tone, as if announcing a law of the universe:

"IQ... 250."

"No, not the derogatory '250'!" Xiao Zhang added quickly. "It's a real IQ of 250! Professor Fang said the highest recorded IQ in human history is 228. But Da Bao... he directly crushed that record!"

"And!" Xiao Zhang's voice trembled more and more. "Da Bao is only a year old! His brain is still developing! Professor Fang speculates that by the time he's an adult, his intelligence level might... might reach a terrifying realm that even Nuwa cannot simulate!"

Lin Yun's footsteps stopped.

IQ 250?

One year old?

He turned his head and looked into the distance at the young boy in the villa garden, who was using building blocks to construct a model of the Luan Bird mothership, accurate down to every detail.

The boy seemed to feel his father's gaze; he looked up and gave Lin Yun an innocent smile.

Then, with his chubby little hand, he accurately placed the last block in his hand onto the bow of the model.

That position happened to be the aiming base for the plasma main cannon.

What startled Lin Yun even more was that next to the block model Da Bao was building, there was a crumpled piece of paper.

On the paper, in crooked but incredibly precise handwriting, was a...

"What is that?" Lin Yun walked over and picked up the paper.

His pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme.

What was drawn on the paper was no childhood doodle.

It was a structural diagram.

A structural diagram of a warship far more complex, massive, and... terrifying than the Luan Bird.

And in the bottom right corner of the drawing, Da Bao had written three words in his crooked handwriting—

"Star Destroyer".

Lin Yun's hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

He slowly crouched down to look Da Bao in the eye.

"This... did you come up with this yourself?"

Da Bao tilted his little head, thought seriously for a moment, and then said in a childish, milky voice:

"Daddy, the Luan Bird is too small."

"I want a... big, big ship that can fit our whole family."

"Then we can all go live in the sky together."

Lin Yun fell silent.

He picked up his eldest son, his gaze piercing through the villa's dome toward that deep and boundless starry sky.

"Okay."

"Daddy promises you."

"But before that—" Lin Yun's gaze fell on the brightly lit main villa in the distance, where his nine partners were waiting for him to come home.

"Daddy has to go fight a battle first... one that might be even more dangerous than dealing with aliens."
