456: Chapter 455 A Necessary Factor to Consider—Absolute Loyalty!
As the first user of Genetic Supplements in this parallel world,
Lin Mo was very aware of
the functions of the two Genetic Supplements, the Azure Dragon Supplement and the White Dragon Supplement.
While one primarily stimulates the body's physical potential, the other greatly stimulates the brain's potential.
But in reality, the two are not separate.
In fact, the best results are only truly achieved when they are used together.
It's also easy to understand.
If the mind moves fast but the hands can't keep up,
or if the limbs are very agile but the mind isn't sharp,
extreme incoordination will occur.
Since that's the case,
rather than creating twenty-four flawed "monsters,"
it would be better to be more straightforward.
He would select the twelve most outstanding, top-tier geniuses who were also the most loyal and reliable from all over Huaxia
and concentrate superior resources on their cultivation.
After making up his mind,
Lin Mo began to calculate the enormous expense of using the Genetic Supplements.
But the more he calculated, the more his heart ached.
One doesn't know the cost of living until they're in charge.
One must realize that
starting from the Level 3 Genetic Supplements,
there are extremely harsh prerequisites before they can be used.
These include over 50 types of specially prepared biological agents, over 100 types of specially proportioned electrolytic solutes, and over 200 types of very scarce trace elements...
But even for today's Huaxia,
which already has the full capability to mobilize all special resources from every country and region on Planet Blue,
gathering all these resources is still very difficult.
In terms of price alone,
the scarce resources necessary for using 24 Level 3 Genetic Supplements
would have a total value of at least ten trillion Huaxia Coins, or even more...
What's more,
about 22% of those extremely rare resources
simply cannot be measured by money.
Because the existing reserves on the entire Planet Blue are so small,
once they are used, they are gone forever...
If you then add
the massive amount of prestige points Lin Mo had accumulated over more than a year,
all of which would have to be "all-inned" to exchange for the 24 Level 3 Genetic Supplements,
it would be absolutely impossible not to feel the sting.
But...
It's worth it.
Extremely worth it.
Every Huaxia person knows:
what is the most precious thing in the 21st century?
Talent!
Or rather,
the kind of top-tier,
super geniuses so elite that people would curse and ask if they were using cheat codes!
And he, Lin Mo,
now only needed to spend a bit of "pocket change"
to directly create 12 super geniuses who could be called "cheaters."
Is there anything more cost-effective than this?
"But before that,"
"there is one more factor that must be considered..."
Lin Mo took a deep breath.
"Loyalty."
"Absolute loyalty to Huaxia!"
People from Planet Blue are not like Trisolarans,
who can have their thoughts connected.
So for them, backstabbing doesn't exist.
But human physiological structure has already directly determined
that humans
are indeed a species that cannot withstand testing.
No matter how firm a person's heart is,
there are ten thousand ways to shatter your faith.
Even if a test is withstood for a short time,
it only means the right angle for the test hasn't been found, the intensity of corruption isn't great enough, or the duration of temptation hasn't been long enough...
This isn't actually entirely a disadvantage.
In a sense,
this is also a unique advantage of humans having great variability as independent individuals.
But in a life-and-death struggle against an alien civilization,
Lin Mo cannot allow even a shred of such variability.
After paying such a high price,
if he were to be backstabbed one day by the twelve people he cultivated,
he would truly die of anger...
Unfortunately,
within the fourth layer of the system's future technology,
there seems to be no Cognitive Interference Technology similar to the Mental Seal.
Otherwise,
imprinting these top geniuses with a "Mental Seal" of "Everything for Huaxia"
would solve everything once and for all.
Regarding this,
Lin Mo also found it a bit strange.
This kind of Cognitive Interference Technology already has a mature theoretical basis.
It wouldn't actually be difficult to implement.
The principle is
using a specially made cognitive interference device
to perform propositional correction on a person's thoughts,
thereby allowing them to almost permanently change their own cognition.
Since the technology itself has no difficulties,
on Planet Blue right now,
there are already many similar empirical techniques,
such as thought implantation, logical brainwashing, mental hypnosis, and thought deception.
Even if he started from scratch now
and set up a research project specifically for this technical subject,
it would take three years at the fastest, five at most,
to produce very reliable results.
Even if he didn't push it forward,
the transformative effects of the Quantum Era alone
would produce several mature first-stage cognitive interference technologies in the near future.
It doesn't make sense.
The system has already unlocked the fourth layer of future technology,
and even has technology for real-time interconnection between brainwaves and machines,
yet it doesn't even have Cognitive Interference Technology.
Lin Mo became thoughtful.
Could it be...
that there's some kind of taboo involved?
