303: Chapter 303 Marked with the Brand of the Xia Kingdom!
Hearing Yang Tongan's question, the officer in charge of leading the test tensed up imperceptibly.
Even though he had undergone the military's most rigorous psychological stress training, his breathing was still somewhat heavy and uncontrollable when facing the data of the perfect-grade serum injector.
"Reporting, Chief!"
The officer forced himself to take a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement that was practically bursting from his chest.
In the steadiest voice he could muster, he began to report the set of ultimate data that could only be described as science fiction.
"The overall data of the perfect-grade serum test subject has completely shattered the existing theoretical limits of physiology!"
"In the specialized strength test, his bench press reached an astonishing 544 kilograms! And the peak impact force of his heavy punch..."
"...directly broke through the 1,200-kilogram mark!"
At this point, the officer's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
1,200 kilograms!
This could no longer be called a human fist; it was practically a miniature heavy battering ram!
If hit squarely by this punch, even someone wearing the highest-spec heavy body armor in active service would have their internal organs ground into mush by the terrifying shockwave!
After a brief pause, the officer steadied his mind and continued to report:
"In terms of mobility, his 100-meter sprint time was compressed to an extreme 6.2 seconds."
"As for his neural reaction speed under dynamic vision..."
"...it reached 0.08 seconds, surpassing the limits of humanity!"
Hearing this shocking set of data, Yang Tongan's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't express much amazement at the figures, but simply nodded heavily and said,
"Good."
Then, Yang Tongan slowly turned his head, looking deeply at Lin Yuan beside him.
Hidden in that gaze was a complex meaning that only the two of them understood.
This young man before him was using his incredible trump cards to reshape the underlying logic of the entire world, bit by bit, in an almost brutally overwhelming way.
Facing Yang Tongan's meaningful gaze, the expression on Lin Yuan's face remained relaxed.
He did not show much surprise at this result, which was enough to drive countless people around the world crazy.
After a brief silence, Yang Tongan suddenly smiled.
He put his hands behind his back, his tone as relaxed as if he were just chatting about some everyday family matter.
"If I remember correctly, that captain in the superhero setting on The Other Side of the Ocean has physical stats around this level, right?"
Yang Tongan looked at Lin Yuan, the smile on his face deepening, and the teasing tone in his voice grew stronger:
"Since the living person we've created now has real-deal stats that are not at all inferior to their fictional sci-fi setting,"
"then tell me, in the future, when the world mentions the word 'Captain', whose captain will the global public think of first..."
"...after all?"
Hearing Elder Yang's humorous teasing, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Elder Yang, you put it perfectly."
Meeting Yang Tongan's gaze, Lin Yuan unhurriedly followed up on the topic.
"Regardless of whether The Other Side of the Ocean acknowledges it, when our 'genuine version' steps into the spotlight, the facts will speak for themselves."
"Sci-fi will always be sci-fi, but we are reality."
Having said this, Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then casually dropped another sentence as if it were nothing:
"And... this is merely his initial state right after the injection and activation."
"Oh?"
Yang Tongan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded, his tone nonchalant.
"He has just completed the enhancement, and his bodily functions haven't completely adapted to this brand-new power yet."
"After he adapts for a period in the dedicated recuperation area and fully absorbs the efficacy of the serum, his various indicators should still steadily improve further."
"However, this can be considered to have perfectly achieved my expected goal."
Lin Yuan spoke these words casually, but they made the nearby officer's scalp tingle.
"It can still improve?!"
"A 1,200-kilogram heavy punch isn't even the limit?!"
"Is he really planning to tear armored vehicles apart with his bare hands?!"
Hearing this, Yang Tongan also opened his mouth slightly, a ripple of emotion flashing in his eyes, which then turned into a soft sigh.
"It really is a good thing."
"The only pity is that the restrictions on this serum are too high."
"Not to mention the one-in-a-billion perfect-grade, even for the basic version with the lowest requirements, the number of people in the entire military who can meet the standards is extremely limited."
"Otherwise, if it could be popularized in large quantities without any threshold, our Xia Country would truly be able to directly realize the grand spectacle of 'everyone being like a dragon'."
Hearing Elder Yang's regret, Lin Yuan smiled.
"Elder Yang, a path is made by walking it."
"Since the threshold for the basic version is high, why can't we continue to derive from the existing mature foundation and develop a weakened civilian version with a lower threshold?"
Lin Yuan's posture was relaxed, but his tone was highly forward-looking:
"Although the effect of the weakened version will be further discounted,"
"even if it only brings the physical fitness of ordinary people to the level of elite athletes, this would still be..."
"...a qualitative leap for the improvement of the overall national physical fitness!"
Yang Tongan was slightly stunned. The image of 1.4 billion Xia Country citizens all being strong and healthy couldn't help but rise in his mind, causing his heart to twitch violently.
Lin Yuan continued to speak unhurriedly:
"Furthermore, the field of Life Sciences is so vast..."
"To improve the overall quality of the citizenry, the super serum is not the only means!"
"In the future, we still have countless cards to play."
Hearing this, Yang Tongan's breath hitched slightly, and he stared at Lin Yuan with deep meaning.
Their eyes met, and a wordless tacit understanding flowed through the air.
Lin Yuan smiled. Instead of digging deeper into this topic, he turned his gaze toward the distance.
A very faint smile played on his lips, a look of composure that came with a plan about to reach a perfect, closed loop.
"However, we must take things one step at a time."
"For now, since our own 'Captain' of Xia Country has also appeared..."
Lin Yuan turned his head to meet Yang Tongan's steady gaze. He spoke word by word, his voice clear and highly stirring.
"Elder Yang, if a 'superhero' is only hidden in a basement as top-secret, then he is just a weapon that cannot see the light of day, and his maximum value cannot be realized."
"But if we put him in the spotlight, letting the whole world see, fear, and have no choice but to believe..."
"...then he becomes an invincible faith."
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone carrying confidence and ambition.
"So, it is also time to announce it to the world..."
"We will personally stamp the words 'superhero' with the brand of our Xia Country!"
