295: Chapter 295 An Unexpected Surprise

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Zhou Kai stood frozen in place.

His brain raced, his thoughts involuntarily pulled back to the end of the year.

Back then, the preparation process for the Super Soldier Serum had clearly been more than halfway completed.

At the time, he had even rallied the entire team, ready to go all out and finish it in one go, even if it meant not going home for the New Year, just to get the serum out as soon as possible.

But Lin Yuan had nonchalantly halted the entire project, telling everyone to take a break and go home for the New Year.

At the time, Zhou Kai felt it was a great pity to stop at such a critical juncture.

But looking back now...

It turned out that Lin Yuan had already calculated everything perfectly.

"Academician Lin, I admire you."

Zhou Kai lowered his voice, his tone full of admiration.

Facing Zhou Kai's admiration, Lin Yuan just smiled faintly.

He didn't rush to open the encrypted document on his phone, but instead flipped his wrist and tucked the phone back into his pocket.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan lifted his chin slightly, his gaze turning back to the giant reaction vessel in the center of the hall.

"The closer we get to the final moment, the less we can afford to be careless."

"First, focus your energy and finish this last step beautifully."

Hearing this, Zhou Kai's expression tightened; he set aside all unnecessary thoughts and nodded heavily.

The hall returned to extreme silence.

The alert sounds of all instruments were turned down to the lowest, and only the low-frequency hum of automated equipment echoed in the air.

The gazes of dozens of top experts were all fixed firmly on the large screen of the supercomputing terminal.

Inside the giant reaction vessel, the eerie green liquid had completely stopped churning, entering the final and most critical stage of static fusion.

The color also gradually changed from its original turbidity to clarity, finally presenting a hue full of vitality.

On the large screen, various values were inching closer to the final perfect threshold at an extremely slow but steady speed.

"Osmotic pressure stability, 98.5%... 99%..."

A researcher in charge of monitoring reported in a low voice, keeping their volume down for fear of disturbing the data's fluctuations.

"pH value locked in the safe range, no fluctuations."

"Active factor survival rate, 100%."

With the researcher's reports one after another.

Dozens of top experts held their breath, eyes fixed on the screen without blinking, fists clenched unconsciously.

Time ticked away, second by second.

For the researchers present, every second felt as long as a century.

Half an hour later.

"Beep—"

A crisp electronic alert sounded in the hall.

On the supercomputing terminal's large screen, the final set of fusion parameters locked completely and stopped jumping.

Immediately after, a final verification report popped up, occupying the center of the entire screen.

[Gene chain stability: Perfect]

[Targeted catalysis pathway: No deviation]

[Active factor retention rate of the stock solution: Reached theoretical limit]

Three lines of green text, striking and dazzling.

This meant that the Super Soldier Serum stock solution had been officially prepared!

"We did it!"

Someone roared at the top of their lungs.

The next second, the entire first-floor hall erupted in frantic cheers loud enough to lift the roof.

Lin Yuan stood by the main control console, smiling as he watched this group of researchers venting their inner ecstasy.

He did not interrupt this moment of glory that belonged to them.

It wasn't until the cheers had lasted for a full two minutes and subsided slightly that Lin Yuan slowly raised his right hand and pressed it downward in the air.

Seeing Lin Yuan's action, everyone in the hall quickly quieted down, pairs of frantic eyes focusing collectively on him.

"Everyone."

Lin Yuan's voice clearly reached every corner.

"You have all worked hard during this time."

He scanned the entire room, his tone filled with sincere affirmation.

"The data on the screen is the best proof of all your efforts."

"The preparation of the Super Soldier Serum stock solution is perfect."

"We have successfully pushed open the door to human evolution."

As his voice fell, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out in the hall.

Lin Yuan waited for the applause to die down and continued.

"The stock solution preparation is complete; the core difficulty has been overcome."

"As for the subsequent dilution and aliquoting of the serum for test subjects of different standards, there is no need to rush."

"I still need time to sort through the selection list sent from above and determine the number of people and specific standard requirements for each tier."

"Therefore, you may act on your own for now."

Lin Yuan looked at the group of experts with bloodshot eyes, his tone softening.

"It would be best if everyone went back to get a good sleep and rest."

"Once I have finalized the list, we will proceed with the next step of aliquoting."

Hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, the experts present looked at each other.

They were currently in a state of extreme excitement, adrenaline surging, wishing they could immediately take out the stock solution for aliquoting and testing.

But Lin Yuan's words were the absolute iron law in this hall.

Zhou Kai was the first to react and responded loudly.

"We will follow Academician Lin's instructions!"

"Seal the stock solution in the reaction vessel and activate the highest level of constant temperature protection."

"Everyone, go back and rest now. No one is allowed to hang around here. Get your energy back and wait for Academician Lin's next instructions!"

With Zhou Kai taking the lead, the crowd stopped insisting.

Carrying the joy of victory, they methodically completed the final locking and sealing procedures for the equipment, then left Research Building No. 7 one after another.

The hall soon became empty.

Lin Yuan didn't linger, turned and walked out of the hall, and went straight back to his independent dormitory.

Pushing the door open, the room was quiet and tidy.

Lin Yuan walked to the sofa and sat down, reaching into his pocket to take out his phone.

Fingerprint unlock, the screen lit up.

He opened the document sent by Elder Yang.

What met his eyes were dense personnel files and extremely detailed data on various physical functions.

Subsequently, when Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the first personnel file at the very top, his originally calm brows couldn't help but arch slightly.

Because the conclusion for that person was strikingly—

Perfectly compatible with the first generation perfect-level injection standard!

Lin Yuan leaned against the soft back of the sofa, his fingers gently rubbing the metal edge of the phone.

He was very clear about just how stringent the first generation perfect-level standard was.

He had assumed that even within a massive population base of 1.4 billion, finding such a freak with perfect genes and willpower would require a long time and a lot of luck.

He hadn't expected the military of Xia to find this "one in a billion" monster in such a short time.

The corners of Lin Yuan's lips couldn't help but slowly curl into an arc of great interest, even carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Well, well..."

He looked at the information on the phone and muttered inwardly.

"Following the Iron Man of Xia..."

"It seems like we are about to get another, a living, breathing Captain Xia?"
