212: Research Center for Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

In Yuecheng, Tianhua Avenue.

Ma Guang's eyes were fixed on his phone screen.

He was currently squatting in a narrow and cramped space, with dim lighting, old tiles, and a foul smell constantly lingering at his nose.

The buzzing of wings continuously came from his ears.

Slap!

He slapped and killed a large, tattooed Mosquito that was trying to suck the essence from his buttocks. Ma Guang reluctantly tore his gaze away from his phone.

However, it was fine when he didn't stand up, but once he did, he almost collapsed again.

Damn it! My legs are numb!

Ma Guang struggled to support himself on the toilet door, slowly moving.

He had been squatting in the toilet for a full half-hour!

If this were normally, he could hardly imagine that he would possess such a high talent for horse stance!

However, the main reason was that the live stream on his phone was simply too exciting.

As a researcher who rarely scrolled through short videos and live streams, Ma Guang's entire focus was on work and various experiments.

But for some reason today, while he was on the toilet, he stumbled upon Su Yu's live stream as if by some strange twist of fate.

It was fine before he watched, but once he did, he became completely engrossed.

That's right! He was the biology expert who had previously offered sincere advice in Su Yu's live stream.

Ma Guang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Biotechnology Research Center.

Ma Guang was initially attracted simply because Su Yu happened to touch upon his professional field—Bionics Technology!

And coincidentally, Su Yu precisely found him among tens of thousands of comments and replied to him, interacting in front of so many people in the live stream.

At this moment, as a new viewer, being called out and interacted with by such a popular top Streamer, would you choose to stay and watch what happens next?

So, Ma Guang naturally stayed.

And after he stayed, Su Yu's series of actions made him increasingly curious.

Catching Mosquito, catching Ant, making animal figurines!

He had never seen anyone truly able to replicate the six 'mouthparts' in front of a Mosquito's mouth through technology.

Even his colleagues in his lab, who specialized in Bionics Technology research, no one was bored enough to do this.

The most crucial thing was that this Streamer actually succeeded!

This made Ma Guang uncontrollably curious about Su Yu.

Through Baidu Baike online, he quickly learned about Su Yu's various glorious deeds!

Especially when he pulled out the brand new sixth edition banknotes he had just exchanged from the bank not long ago, and then looked at Su Yu in the live stream on his phone, the light in Ma Guang's eyes grew even brighter!

Genius!

This guy named Su Yu might seem like a Streamer on the surface, but he was actually an all-around genius!

Aerospace, missiles, paper currency, anti-counterfeiting technology, gun manufacturing, military industry... Now he unexpectedly developed an interest in bionic biology.

For some reason, Ma Guang had a strange feeling in his heart. The Mosquito figurine Su Yu was currently making was definitely not as simple as it seemed!

If it was just making a model, he could easily find some high-definition pictures online as material.

With Su Yu's drawing skills and craftsmanship, it would be too easy to sculpt a lifelike model.

But he deliberately didn't do that; instead, he went to great lengths to go to the back mountain to catch real Mosquito and real Ant, which was baffling behavior.

So, was he preparing to make bionic organisms?

A thought arose in Ma Guang's mind, and once this thought arose, the feeling became increasingly strong.

That's right!

It must be like this!

The thing Su Yu was preparing to make must be related to bionic organisms! And the chosen targets were Mosquito and Ant!

Such ultra-high difficulty bionic robots, no one in the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences was willing to try. Now Ma Guang's colleagues' Bionics Technology research mostly involved things like mechanical dogs and mechanical birds.

Not only were they bulky, but their functions were also relatively singular.

Even the research on mechanical dogs was still focused on how to ensure they could run, roll, and turn smoothly.

Ma Guang knew that just a single function of jumping in place and rolling had stumped his colleagues for more than half a year!

Su Yu said that the entire process of making this figurine would be live-streamed, and he wouldn't stop until it was finished. So, could he recommend the live stream to his colleagues who needed to learn and get inspiration?

Thinking of this, Ma Guang couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He moved his feet with difficulty, walking laboriously towards the Chinese Academy of Sciences Biotechnology Research Center... Inside the live stream.

After several more hours of research, Su Yu successfully created a replacement for the Mosquito's 'abdominal cavity,' which he called the 'small stomach pouch.'

Compared to the original 'abdominal cavity,' the 'small stomach pouch' had unprecedentedly enhanced elasticity and toughness. It also added an isolation and preservation function.

This also meant that, compared to the Mosquito's original belly, it could hold more solution and effectively inhibit its consumption during the Mosquito's flight.

After testing, this small space was sufficient to hold three milliliters of solution and could withstand a force of over twenty Newtons.

If directly replaced onto a Mosquito's body, aside from the volume looking a bit uncoordinated, other aspects were acceptable.

Seeing this, the viewers had completely given up on trying to change the Streamer's mind.

Since the mouthparts and abdominal cavity parts had been made, they also began to inexplicably anticipate what Su Yu's final complete Hex Tech Mosquito would look like.

“Streamer, Streamer, are we going to start making the Mosquito's head, legs, and wings next?”

“I suggest making the wings movable, and don't fix the head and torso rigidly!”

“Hahahahaha, what? If it's not fixed, are you going to make this figurine fly?”

“Who says it's impossible? Just add a miniature motor to the wings, and it's solved, right?”

“Brother, you're thinking too much! Miniature motor! If it were other large figurines, it might be possible, but how do you add a motor to something as small as a Mosquito? Besides, the Streamer is doing a one-to-one restoration!”

Su Yu smiled faintly, looking at the questions in the live stream's comments, not rushing to reply.

According to their previous thinking, the viewers all thought he was making a one-to-one bionic figurine to showcase his superb skills!

If he could really make it, it would indeed demonstrate his top-notch craftsmanship!

But unfortunately, this was not what Su Yu had in mind.

His goal was even more difficult! More challenging!

Just making a one-to-one figurine would not fulfill the 'functional' aspect of the system task!

Therefore, Su Yu's true goal was not to make a Bionics Technology figurine, but to create a genuine, cyberpunk version of a Mosquito that combined biology and technology!
