Chapter 190 [Dragon Blood Gene Warrior]
The sudden "tide of zombies" attacking the city was just a temporary episode.
Since he knew that his teacher Irubek was in the territory, Ryan, as a disciple, naturally had to visit the teacher first.
The wreckage of the airship was once a complete mechanical city with all the necessary facilities, including a special medical laboratory.
Ryan asked for the general direction of the medical laboratory and went there.
Then, in a large, brightly lit room, I saw the old man who looked like Einstein.
…
When Ryan found the laboratory, the old man was tinkering with something among a bunch of high-tech instruments whose purpose seemed incomprehensible.
Compared to the previous laboratory in the City of Glory, the instruments here are larger and more complex. It looks like technology is overtaking the times. It's like the difference between Tust's mecha and ordinary mecha. Probably because of the crash of the airship, many instruments have impact marks, but they have been repaired.
He walked straight in and shouted loudly: "Teacher!"
Hearing this, Irubek turned his head and looked at him. His eyes were filled with joy and he responded with a smile: "Ryan, you are here."
Ryan looked over and saw that the old man was not missing any limbs, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Teacher, those guys from the Black Water Platform took you away, but they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"No, I'm fine. Those guys don't dare to do anything to me..."
Irubek said something disapproving, and then said with relief in his eyes: "I heard from Tust that you took a lot of trouble to save my old bones."
After a pause, he said with some envy: "That old man also boasted that you went hunting together, encountered a beast tide, and were captured and taken to the forest... Compared to me, you really went through a disaster."
The old man’s experience can indeed be described in a few words: he was caught, locked up, rescued, stayed in the laboratory, and then came here.
When Ryan recalled his experience during this period, it was indeed thrilling.
The master and disciple chatted for a few words, and then they started talking about the experiment again.
But when it comes to hunting, Ryan remembered something and said, "By the way, teacher, I brought you a lot of biological specimens. These are all collected by me in the 'Forest of Ashes'."
As he spoke, he took out hundreds of bottles and jars from his storage ring, which contained all kinds of new animal and plant specimens that he had collected during this period. There was even a long tentacle, which was the mouthpart of the previous "Moro Corpse King Flower".
"Huh... so many?!"
When it comes to research, Irubek becomes a completely different person.
When he saw these animal and plant specimens that he had never seen before, he immediately felt as if he had seen treasures, his eyes shining, "Haha... you are thoughtful. I just need a large number of biological specimens to observe their genetic laws and study the impact of this black fog on organisms..."
"Teacher, speaking of this black fog... I know something about it."
Speaking of the "black fog", Ryan also shared some of his recent observations. "Teacher, the black fog is called 'demon energy from the abyss' in the Coleman tribe. It is essentially beneficial to the growth of organisms, but the energy is too violent for ordinary people... I am now learning not to use a gas mask like them, and I can clearly feel that the growth rate of my genetic power and physical fitness has increased several times..."
After a pause, he continued , "And the [Black Tide] that caused the corpses to revive this time seems to be related to the concentration of this black gas."
"Well, the conclusions you draw from your observations are almost consistent with my guesses. But I need some more rigorous data to confirm those guesses..."
Irubek has obviously done research on this a long time ago, but science is rigorous and requires not only observation of phenomena but also experimental data to support it.
He said: "I have dissected many zombie samples recently, and I found that the black tide this time is a bit like the magic of the dead. But the black gas is not a pure magic factor, but an existence that is higher than the laws we currently know. Even if it is not the magic gas from the real hell, it is probably some unknown things at a higher level..."
Ryan listened thoughtfully. It was not the first time he had known the old man's rigorous attitude towards scientific research.
At this point, Irubek continued, "There is no shortage of materials for the effect of the black gas on corpses. But there are not enough experimental samples of living bodies. Moreover, it is best to have an object that can be observed for a long time. In addition to magic beasts, it is best to have a human..."
“…”
As soon as Ryan saw the old man's expression, he knew what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, Irubek looked at Ryan again, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Coleman people ?"
Ryan said faintly: "Teacher, you don't want to use the Kalman Warrior for research, do you?"
Besides, there is no doubt that the old man had probably tried it and failed.
Not to mention the Coleman tribe who were still slashing and burning, even Ryan was terrified when he first walked into Irubek's laboratory and saw the biological specimens soaked in bottles and jars. It would be strange if they agreed to cooperate with the experiment.
Irubek: "Yes! The Coleman people have been inhaling black air for a long time, and their tribe is the best living research sample. I originally wanted to have the Coleman people cooperate with me in research and do long-term data observation. But I don’t know them well, and we can’t speak the language. They don’t care much about an old man like me... Later, I asked Tust, and he said you know me well."
Ryan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'll help you communicate tomorrow, but it may not work. Because there is still a big gap between the thinking of the two civilizations..."
"Um."
At this point, Irubek added: "Oh, and one more thing. It would be even better if I could have an in-depth exchange with the witch doctor in the Coleman tribe. I also want to see the magical herbal medicine..."
Hearing this, Ryan agreed immediately: "Oh, then this should be no problem. Their witch doctors are also interested in modern medicine. I will talk to the chief witch priest, it should be no problem..."
Coleman's witch doctor and Irubek's modern medical system are probably the two main branches of the medical system in the territory in the future.
He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks would be created by the collision of the medical skills of the two civilizations.
…
As the master and the apprentice chatted, they didn't talk much about the past, but mostly about medical topics.
When asked if Ryan had kept up with his studies, the old man boasted about it.
Then, naturally, we talked about the "treasures" in the room.
Irubek pointed at the instruments in the room and said excitedly, "Ryan, I heard from Ymir that you were the one who provided the clues to the wreckage of the airship. Tsk tsk, you really gave me a big surprise!"
The old man's face was flushed with excitement, and he continued, "Didn't I tell you before that many of my experiments were limited by the equipment and could not meet the research requirements at the ultra-microscopic level? Although I have only temporarily figured out the functions of some of the instruments on this airship, I am sure that they are much more advanced than the equipment currently produced by the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences! With these instruments, many of my theoretical projects can enter the experimental stage..."
"As long as it's useful."
Ryan looked at the instruments in the laboratory and was full of anticipation.
He had carefully read Irubek's research reports. He knew very well that if he could really move from the theoretical stage to the experimental stage, his teacher would probably make many major discoveries in the medical field that would shock this era.
Seeing the old man's excitement, he was a little worried and said, "Teacher, you should also take care of your health. I heard from Grandpa Tuster that you haven't left the laboratory for a month."
"One month? No no no..."
Irubek shook his head, his eyes full of enthusiasm as he said, "I, an old man, plan to die in this laboratory! A laboratory with such advanced equipment is too important to me. I hate that time is too tight and there are too many experiments to be done..."
“…”
Ryan listened with a wry smile, knowing this would be the result.
But he is still at the stage of "applying what he has learned" in medicine, and has not yet touched the edge of real theoretical research.
In this regard, he could not help Irubek much. And biological science required a lot of time and energy to do experiments, which was different from his extraordinary path for his future.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. He didn't want to spend all day in the laboratory.
…
At this time, Irubek suddenly said, "Oh, right. I heard from Ymir that you plan to build this territory into a free city. But I also heard that the Coleman people and the people from Omar don't get along well..."
"Yes, sir."
Ryan nodded and said, "There will definitely be some problems at the beginning of the territory construction. But I believe that these will be solved soon."
He didn't go into detail because he himself didn't understand territory management.
At this time, Irubek said something philosophical, "I don't understand much about politics. But haste makes waste. Just like medicine, ideas that are too advanced are easily misunderstood, distorted, and demonized by the world... Although this is a new city, it will take some time for people to completely abandon old ideas and adapt to a completely new system. Especially since this territory is composed of people from two different civilizations..."
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Ryan nodded. This was an aspect he had considered carefully and he already had some preliminary ideas, but the process would be complicated.
At this time, Irubek looked at Ryan again and smiled: "Well... Regarding the integration of civilizations, I think this is just a small problem that can be easily solved."
"Oh? Teacher, have you thought of a solution?"
When Ryan heard this, he looked up at the old man with an expectant look on his face.
Then, I heard Irubek say, "In fact, I have suggested to Ymir before that you become the city lord, and then she will marry you. All conflicts will be resolved."
“…”
When Ryan heard this suggestion, he was full of anticipation, but the next second, his eyelids twitched.
I don’t know if it’s because the trick of “marriage alliance” is so effective that everyone can think of it.
Or it is because no matter which world it is, the elders all like to matchmake for the younger generations.
He suddenly looked very strange and asked, "Teacher, have you already told Her Highness Ymir?"
Irubek: "Yeah. About half a month ago, before you came, I discovered this problem and proposed it to her. But the girl said she would seriously consider it and has not agreed yet..."
“…”
Ryan felt a sudden headache.
But he has already done it, and he is his teacher, what can he say?
Irubek didn't notice Ryan's embarrassment at all, and said, "Don't worry, I will convince Ymir. My disciple of Irubek is handsome and worthy of marrying a princess."
After a pause, he continued, "And from my personal perspective, I also hope to have a stable experimental environment. Therefore, I also hope that this territory can be established as soon as possible, and I hope that you can be the city lord. I also told that girl that if my disciple becomes the city lord, I plan to give this territory a big gift."
“…”
Hearing this, Ryan's expression completely froze.
This old man uses the same tactics as Canossa, and he uses intimidation and inducement?
With a stiff face, he asked weakly, "You...are you planning to give a betrothal gift?"
"yes!"
Irubek looked quite confident and said, "I think if you want to build this city, you may need a more powerful extraordinary system. Therefore, I plan to put my two research projects, 'Gene Editing Warriors' and 'Super Purity Potion', on the agenda! With such a great gift, Ymir will definitely not refuse..."
"Are you sure about these two projects?!"
When Ryan heard this, he no longer thought about the issue of "bride price".
Instead, he was stunned by the two names the old man said!
Because he had carefully read Irubek's research report, and the "Gene Editing Warrior" project was targeting Basel's werewolf bloodline!
The old man had long guessed that ordinary extraordinary people could use acquired gene editing to achieve "latent bestiality" with an extra gene chain like werewolves, thereby greatly enhancing their combat power!
"Yes."
At this time, Irubek pointed to a running instrument in the laboratory and said, "The theoretical basis of this project was actually very mature before, but it lacked the necessary experimental environment and instruments...but now everything is available!"
After a pause, he continued, "Also, I originally planned to use genes from other primate monsters to complete this experiment. But now I have found a better option! The more complex the gene sequence, the more likely it is to extract suitable beast genes for humans. And the earth dragons in this basin are the best choice... So I call this plan [Dragon Blood Gene Warrior]!"
Not all Warcraft genes can be edited into human bloodline genes, only suitable ones can be edited.
And this involves another conjecture: high-level gods do not have reproductive isolation.
This means that the closer the bloodline is to the ancient gods, the more suitable it is for transforming genetic warriors.
And the black dragon deep in the Alcolon Mountains also has almost no reproductive isolation.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, the possibility of extracting a gene chain suitable for humans is highest among the gene sequences of its dragon descendants!
"this……"
Ryan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He knew very well how powerful the "Biochemical Warrior" was in his previous life. Now that he came to this extraordinary world, was his teacher also planning to do the same?
Shit, I get excited just thinking about it.
It is conceivable that if the Coleman tribe, which is already strong like a monster, has the ability to transform into a beast like Basel, how strong will they be?
Moreover, the old man’s other project [Super-pure Specialized Potion] is also a technological innovation at the micro level.
As we all know, ordinary potions have impurities no matter how they are purified. Even the golden potion has an impurity rate of more than 20%. This is because the source of the impurities is at the microscopic level, coming from the material itself.
For example, 20% impurities in a "strength" potion may be completely useless "intelligence".
The old man's idea is to remove the 20% of impurities as much as possible to achieve a 100% increase in strength.
A low impurity rate means that after the extraordinary person absorbs it, less talent will be wasted and the growth value of the specialized attribute will be higher!
This is a "strategic-level" technology that may be able to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of all extraordinary people in the world!
…
Irubek's two studies were once only in the theoretical stage. Now that we have the equipment, we have entered the experimental stage. If we can really use them... the results of these two studies, no matter which one, will definitely make the entire scientific community tremble!
If this technology is sold to any empire in Omar or Theed, their emperors will definitely exchange it for a bunch of princesses, or even a queen, without hesitation!
This is also why the old man thinks Ymir will definitely agree, because this "gift" is too important...
