Chapter 392 Not a mindless, stupid thing.
Biotech Warship!
This brand-new concept, uttered by Su Chen, struck the minds of the Dragon Kingdom's high-ranking officials like a strange bolt of lightning!
It instantly plunged them into astonishment and confusion!
Soon, their gazes, as if drawn by an invisible force, focused once again on that terrifying monster!
At this moment, the depths of their eyes were filled with profound shock.
In their understanding, a warship was the crystallization of steel and technology, a war beast carved from precision machinery and cutting-edge technology. However, the ferocious beast before them, resembling a Plesiosaur Monster, was worlds apart from the image of a warship in their minds!
Their thoughts seemed to fall into a chaotic fog, attempting to understand the unimaginable connection between the two.
Elder Zhao, the former naval commander who had once dominated the Southern Sea Area and now bore the heavy responsibility of being the captain of the Aerospace Carrier, found it difficult to maintain his usual composure.
His usually resolute face was now filled with an expression of disbelief.
Throughout his long and illustrious military career, a warship to him was a steel fortress that cleaved through waves and dominated the seas, the pinnacle of human wisdom and industrial power. How could it be this strange-looking monster exuding a terrifying aura?
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, could there really be such a huge gap between the Biotech Warship he knew and what Su Chen was describing?
Elder Qin was also full of confusion. He stared at Su Chen and asked softly:
"What is a Biotech Warship?"
Su Chen paused slightly, as if organizing the complex thoughts in his mind, and then he explained slowly in a calm and clear tone:
"This is a conceptual weapon!"
"In the traditional sense, a Biotech Warship aims to skillfully integrate certain unique characteristics and functions of living organisms into the design, construction, and operation processes of a warship through cutting-edge technical means such as bioengineering and gene editing, thereby endowing the warship with superior performance and powerful capabilities that transcend traditional forms."
"Its core essence lies in the exquisite fusion of biological systems and mechanical systems, fully exploiting the magical properties of organisms such as self-repair, energy generation, and information processing, to comprehensively enhance the warship's overall combat effectiveness."
"However, this design concept is relatively closer to reality; it uses modern warship manufacturing technology as the main framework, with biotechnology serving only as an auxiliary supplement."
At this point, Su Chen's gaze slowly drifted towards the Plesiosaur Monster, his thoughts seemingly traveling through time and space, backtracking to the scene of dissecting the Armored Monster!
His eyes became even more profound, as if he had insight into some secrets of the universe, and he continued:
"However, perhaps there exists another more radical, more advanced manufacturing model."
"That is, with biotechnology as the dominant core and modern warship manufacturing technology as merely an auxiliary means. In layman's terms, it means deeply implanting modern technology into a living organism, thereby shaping a brand-new, unimaginable weapon form."
After Su Chen finished his detailed explanation, the shock in the eyes of the Dragon Kingdom's high-ranking officials grew stronger, like a vast ocean churning in a storm.
Clearly, for the vast majority of them, this concept was like information from the distant future or a mysterious alien source. It was the first time they had heard of such a novel, bold, and unimaginably creative concept. This was undoubtedly an earth-shattering revolution to their inherent cognitive systems!
It completely overturned their traditional understanding of the boundaries between military equipment and technology.
Elder Qin couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said with great emotion:
"Little Chen, I do not have the slightest doubt about your professional competence, but I am truly curious, what clues did you rely on to deduce all of this?"
"Or perhaps, you already know some unknown secrets?"
Everyone's gaze gathered on Su Chen once again.
He nodded slightly, then slowly took an object out of his pocket.
Everyone looked closely and discovered that it was a gear.
Just as everyone was filled with confusion, Su Chen opened his mouth again and said:
"This gear was obtained from the body of the Armor Monster we dissected earlier."
"It was not in its stomach, but located in a highly precise part of the monster's body, and it was deeply involved in the complex operation of the entire living organism."
"You can regard it as a unique organ within the monster."
Elder Qin's eyes widened instantly, staring fixedly at the gear, as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his gaze. His heart was struck by an unprecedented, intense impact.
It was clearly a gear cast from metal, yet it was bizarrely embedded in the monster's body, functioning crucially and methodically just like organs such as the heart or liver!
This discovery immediately gave them a start.
At this moment, their awe and conviction in Su Chen's deductions increased significantly.
When they cast their gaze toward the Plesiosaur Monster again, the fear and vigilance they had when simply looking at a monster had completely faded from their eyes. Replacing it was a profound shock and awe at the ultra-high technological power hidden behind this mysterious creature.
"However, this technology can be described as reaching the pinnacle."
Su Chen added:
"At least in terms of our current technological level, achieving such technology is somewhat difficult."
Hearing this, the turbulent waves in their hearts surged even more violently.
They knew well of Su Chen's outstanding achievements and profound attainments in the field of technology. Since he, who was revered as the Peerless National Scholar, made such a statement, it was evident that the technological mysteries hidden behind the Biotech Warship were profound and mysterious, far exceeding the boundaries of their imagination!
Perhaps it came from another unreachable technological dimension.
Elder Qin frowned and asked with a look of astonishment:
"How exactly did those monsters master such advanced technology?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep contemplation.
That's right, at first glance, these monsters were nothing more than brutal beasts that only knew how to destroy and kill, seemingly savage creatures with no intelligence at all!
Yet they possessed such astonishing high-tech products; this was truly mind-boggling!
"Using biology as a foundation and embedding technology into it—such a concept is simply like a fantasy scene from a sci-fi movie!"
"It seems we have truly underestimated these monsters. Perhaps they really are alien visitors from a distant galaxy! If that is the case, it is not entirely inexplicable that they could master such heaven-defying technology."
A high-ranking official exclaimed in amazement.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Su Chen's gaze fell gently on the Plesiosaur Monster again.
His face remained calm as water, without a ripple, and he said slowly:
"Indeed, these monsters are not stupid creatures without intelligence."
"However, whether they actually come from outer space is currently difficult to assert."
"At least, judging from their extremely special genetic structure, it is full of too many unknowns and mysteries. I still need to obtain more samples to conduct more in-depth and detailed analysis and research!"
At this moment, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, a bold and startling thought suddenly flashed through Elder Zhao's mind. A hot, excited gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly:
"Little Chen, regarding the Biotech Warship you just mentioned, if we can successfully obtain the monster's body samples, do you have the confidence to manufacture it?"
Su Chen was slightly stunned by this sudden and highly impactful question, and he subconsciously asked in return:
"Manufacture what?"
Everyone's gazes, following Elder Zhao's question, were cast like torches upon Su Chen.
Elder Zhao grinned and said with a voice like a booming bell:
"A Biotech Warship!"
