296: Chapter 296 Is it just right to become evil?

Lin Yuan's fingers paused slightly, and the recent moves of that film company on The Other Side of the Ocean, famous worldwide for its superheroes, involuntarily flashed through his mind.

If he remembered correctly, the big-budget sci-fi blockbuster about "Super Captain" that had been in preparation over there for a long time would be delayed until the second half of this year before it officially premiered in global theaters.

Thinking of those fanatical fans on The Other Side of the Ocean, if they saw a real-life version of Super Captain appearing in the East, who knows what kind of spectacular expressions would appear on their faces?

Lin Yuan could not help but curl his lips into a faint smile.

His gaze continued to shift downward, resting on the personality and psychological profile section at the very bottom of the file.

"Extremely tenacious personality, firm faith, and implacable hatred of evil!"

Looking at the four characters "implacable hatred of evil," Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

He understood the pharmacological mechanism of the first-generation Perfect Serum better than anyone else in the world.

Once that thing was injected into the body, it would not only push the human body's bone density, muscle fibers, and neural synapses to the theoretical limit of carbon-based organisms on a physical level.

It would also stimulate the cerebral cortex from deep biological electrical signals, comprehensively concretizing—and even exponentially magnifying—the subconscious obsessions and personality traits of the subject.

The good becomes better, and the bad becomes worse.

If this naturally "implacable hatred of evil" personality were to be fully magnified without reservation by the effects of the Perfect Serum...

Wouldn't that mean it would directly turn into "righteous to the point of evil"?

Lin Yuan teased inwardly with a dark sense of humor, his smile deepening a little.

Teasing aside, Lin Yuan tapped his finger lightly on the screen and continued to scroll through the subsequent list.

The data structure of the entire list was extremely clear, presenting a seamless, stepped distribution.

The perfect match at the very pinnacle of the pyramid was only the 1 person on this first page.

Below that, there were 20 people who met the second-tier standards.

There were 200 people who met the third-tier standards.

And 2,000 people met the fourth-tier standards.

Looking at these extremely neat numbers, Lin Yuan's heart was as clear as a mirror, and his expression was extremely composed.

With the Xia Kingdom's massive population base of 1.4 billion, plus the millions of active elite troops, he naturally wouldn't be naive enough to think that there were only these two thousand or so people in the whole country who met the standards.

It was obvious that this was the first batch of the most top-tier, core elite quotas, selected by the authorities after careful consideration from a massive pool of qualified candidates.

Lin Yuan did not care about this at all; in fact, he felt it was just right.

"Two thousand plus people, as the first batch of sparks to be scattered, is enough."

...

The next day, early morning.

Research Building No. 7, first-floor lobby.

Inside the lobby, the constant temperature system emitted a low and steady hum.

The giant reaction kettle located in the center stood quietly. Behind the thick bulletproof glass viewing window, the dark green stock solution, which had been left to fuse overnight, was emitting a life-like luster that was both heart-palpitating and extremely alluring.

Zhou Kai and dozens of core experts in the field of Life Sciences had changed into full sets of sterile suits early on.

Not a single one of them was sitting in a chair; they were all eagerly surrounding the master control console and the reaction kettle.

Just then, the glass doors of the lobby slid open to both sides.

Lin Yuan walked in with a steady gait, his posture as relaxed as ever.

"Academician Lin!"

Seeing Lin Yuan appear, Zhou Kai went up to greet him immediately, his eyes filled with impatient fervor.

"Everyone is ready, the equipment has been fully inspected, and we can start work at any time!"

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, not wasting any words, and walked straight to the master control console.

His fingers tapped expertly on the keyboard a few times, and the large screen lit up, popping up several sets of processed data matrices and stepped distribution charts.

"Since everyone is in high spirits, let's get straight to the point."

Lin Yuan scanned the room, his tone steady, and began to issue instructions in an orderly manner.

"The stock solution has been prepared, but everyone is well aware that the undiluted stock solution's medicinal properties are extremely violent, and the vast majority of people's genetic chains simply cannot withstand it."

"According to the data of the first batch of personnel lists finalized by the authorities overnight, we need to precisely dilute this kettle of stock solution into three grades according to different physiological tolerance levels."

Lin Yuan pointed to the first chart on the screen, his voice echoing clearly in the lobby.

"First, is the Supreme Serum."

"Extract a portion of the stock solution and fuse it with neutral targeted buffer medium at a ratio of 1 to 3."

"Preparation quantity: 20 bottles."

As his voice fell, several veteran experts responsible for the formulation quickly recorded this on the tablets in their hands and whispered to confirm with each other.

Lin Yuan did not pause; his fingers slid, switching to the next chart.

"Next, is the Advanced Serum."

"The dilution ratio is adjusted to 1 to 5, preparation quantity: 200 bottles."

As this number was announced, several researchers in the hall responsible for the separation arrays smiled at each other, their adjustments becoming even more efficient.

Lin Yuan looked calmly at the last part of the large screen, his tone still without any fluctuation.

"Finally, is the Basic Serum."

"The dilution ratio is set to 1 to 10, preparation quantity: 2,000 bottles."

When the exact number "2,000 bottles" reached everyone's ears, Zhou Kai rubbed his chin with satisfaction and nodded heavily.

The rest of the scientific researchers were also eager to show their skills, their eyes showing the thrill of being about to do something big.

"Academician Lin, the parameters have all been confirmed as correct!"

Zhou Kai glanced at the recorded data, then turned his head to look at the team behind him, clapped his hands, and spoke in a crisp, decisive tone.

"Everyone, have you remembered the data? Proceed according to the old rules!"

"The No. 1 separation array will connect to the neutral buffer base and be responsible for the precise formulation of the Supreme Serum."

"The No. 2 and No. 3 arrays will be responsible for the Advanced Serum formulation! Pay attention to the centrifuge speed and the osmotic pressure of the fusion liquid!"

"The remaining arrays will fully take over the automated bottling line, running at full power, prioritizing the batch preparation of the Basic Serum!"

"All steps must be executed strictly according to the ratios given by Academician Lin."

"Now, to your stations!"

Following Zhou Kai's order, dozens of experts immediately rushed to their respective posts, preparing to proceed.

However, just at this moment.

"Everyone, wait a moment."

Lin Yuan's calm voice sounded in the lobby, unhurried and steady.

Zhou Kai's footsteps paused, and he turned his head, looking at Lin Yuan with a face full of confusion:

"Academician Lin, are there any other details that need to be adjusted?"

Lin Yuan's gaze passed over the crowd and landed on the reaction kettle emitting a dark green light, and he added nonchalantly.

"Before you start the batch dilution."

"First, extract one standard unit of the stock solution from the reaction kettle separately."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Kai, enunciating clearly, his voice extremely distinct.

"This bottle will have no buffer agent added, and no dilution of any ratio will be made."

"Keep it as it is, and bottle it separately."
