161: The dimensional reduction of technology

Mikami I heard this, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly, "Our laboratory's exploration into genetic science has actually made preliminary progress. Currently, genetic research worldwide is basically inseparable from the topic of gene fusion. The preliminary progress I mentioned is that our research institute is already capable of fusing the powerful genes of certain animals and plants with human genes."

"This type of gene fusion can rapidly enhance the physical fitness of test subjects, such as strength, speed, reaction time, and so on."

"Of course, our preliminary exploration of genes is not yet mature enough. After injecting the fusion genes, some test subjects basically show signs of genetic mutation. The fused genes react, causing them to lose the physical characteristics of their original species, and some test subjects will grow features of the original source of the fused genes."

"Furthermore, because the gene fusion technology is not mature enough, it causes the lifespan of the test subjects to be drastically shortened. From birth to death, if they have inhibitor drugs, they can survive for about two years; without inhibitor drugs, they can only survive for as little as two weeks."

The neon high command present understood Mikami I's explanation. In short, the Gene Warrior they wanted could be provided by the research institute, but the drawbacks were obvious: the Gene Warrior provided would look like a monster and must take inhibitor drugs for a long time, otherwise, who knows when they might just drop dead.

Although the Gene Warrior described by Mikami I had numerous flaws, it still made the eyes of the high command light up. As the saying goes, having something is better than having nothing.

Thus, one high-ranking official asked eagerly, "Then to what extent can the strength of the Gene Warrior you mentioned reach?"

"These Gene Warrior types will be divided into different categories, mainly related to their fused genes, but they can be roughly divided into three major categories: Strength Type, Speed Type, and Mutation Type. Strength and speed go without saying, everyone can understand that. The so-called Mutation Type inherits other abilities from the original source of the fused genes, for example, the body secreting venom or growing wings and the like."

"As for combat power, any random Strength Type or Speed Type Gene Warrior, as long as they are not surrounded by regular troops, can basically slaughter a company-level combat unit. However, the specific extent of their capabilities still needs to be tested!"

"Then how do they compare to those monsters in front of the National Bank that day?" someone else asked.

Mikami I smiled bitterly and said, "Do not even think about that level of Gene Warrior. According to our repeated studies, the other party definitely used a perfect, comprehensive gene enhancement potion, and it is definitely not the first-generation version. Even if we create Gene Warrior, we will definitely not be the other party's opponent. Of course, as we have more and more Gene Warrior, we can collect a large amount of experimental data, which will be helpful for us to develop better gene potions."

Mikami I dared not boast or lie to these high-ranking officials. Moreover, he also hoped that the high command would support his human experiments. Although the research institute had a small number of serious criminals as test subjects, that was far from enough; he needed more. Every scientist is a madman, which is why various countries explicitly prohibit some experiments. When high command becomes crazy for their own interests, it is a disaster for ordinary people.

The high command was naturally not very satisfied with Mikami I's answer, but that was the reality. In the end, the Prime Minister made the final decision: "Then increase the investment in the gene research institute. In one month—no, half a month—I need the first batch of research results. By the way, can you control these Gene Warrior? Will there be any backlash?"

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister. After these Gene Warrior are successfully manufactured, they will not lose their intelligence. Furthermore, we will install micro-bombs in their skulls and conduct remote monitoring. Once they show any bad signs, the laboratory will immediately conduct humane destruction on them. There will absolutely be no situation where they turn on their masters." Upon hearing the Prime Minister's agreement, Mikami I immediately stood up and patted his chest to guarantee it.

"That is good." The Prime Minister nodded upon hearing this.

Just as the neon side was discussing how to deal with the emergence of supernatural humans, in fact, other countries had basically the same reaction to the emergence of supernatural humans. There was no other way; no national high command would allow a situation that could threaten their own safety at any time to emerge. Thus, a war of genetic evolution unfolded.

...

Regarding An Country, the neon high command naturally would not give up, and immediately ordered the expeditionary force to continue marching toward Africa.

On Qin Yang's side, he would not spoil the other party either. Originally, he intended to wipe out the entire army sent by the neon side this time. Regardless of what decision the neon high command made, this expeditionary force was destined to never return.

Thus, the silver star aircraft activated full combat mode, carrying out continuous precision bombing on the neon fleet with dozens of sorties a day. Although the neon fleet had made the highest level of preparations, facing the dimensional reduction strike of the silver star's technology, it was completely useless.

In just two days, only a few rescue boats remained of this neon expeditionary force floating on the sea. The boats were filled with high-ranking military officials, while the lower-ranking neon soldiers had all been sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the turtles!

"Who on earth is it!!!" The fleet commander-in-chief, Miyamoto Ryuichi, was also one of the survivors. He slapped the gunwale of the rescue boat and roared in despair.

...

Just as the neon expeditionary force was feeding the turtles in the sea, videos began to circulate on the internet showing the neon fleet suffering a devastating blow.

Each massive aerial bomb precisely destroyed a neon warship, especially the few helicopter carriers that the neon side possessed. In the video, except for the two left behind on the mainland, the rest all suffered devastating blows.

Once the video was released, it shocked the whole world again!

Many interested countries knew the news of the neon fleet sailing out to sea, but they did not know their specific action plan. Now that they had been completely annihilated very close to the African continent, the truth of the matter was not hard to guess.

Then, the spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense of An Country dropped another bombshell.

"I believe friends from all countries have watched the video of the destruction of the neon fleet. Regarding this matter, we, Xinan Country, will take full responsibility. The reason we attacked the neon fleet is that they were brewing a huge conspiracy while sailing toward Africa this time. According to accurate intelligence from our intelligence personnel, this neon fleet brought over 50,000 ground troops intending to threaten the territory of Xinan Country, desiring to carry out the acts of aggression from the last century. Regarding this, I, Xinan Country, state that although we love peace, we will absolutely not be soft-hearted toward aggressors. To quote a famous saying from China: when friends come, there is fine wine; when the Jackal comes, there is a hunting rifle. If there are any more such acts of misconduct like those of the neon side, Xinan Country will continue to carry out severe strikes! Xinan Country has the ability and the responsibility to safeguard the security of its own territory and people!"
