Although the theory already exists, it has been simulated countless times.
But in actual operation, this is the first time, and no one dares to be careless.
Therefore, the first group of people to participate in the jump in life levels were only ten volunteers who had reached the seventh level of genetic enhancement.
According to the plan of the Central Academy of Sciences.
At least a hundred experiments must be conducted to ensure that there are no problems before it can be completely popularized throughout the federation.
------
At this moment, the ten people who participated in this voluntary test have all laid down in a special equipment like a dormant warehouse.
As the hatch cover slowly closed, the experiment officially began.
"Life support fluid is being injected!"
"Injection completed!"
"All test subjects are in stable physical condition and can enter the second stage!"
At this moment, everyone looked at Su Yingxue!
"Let's start, inject potion No. 3!"
"Yes, Dean!"
The next moment, the life support fluid in each device gradually began to change color as a blue liquid was injected.
Eventually, all the liquid in the entire device turned into that deep blue color.
time...
Minute by minute passed by.
All scientists present were monitoring the physical data of each volunteer at all times.
Until eight hours later!
"Dean, Volunteer No. 7...life has stopped!"
Yes, starting from the fifth hour, volunteers have successively completed the jump in life levels and been taken to other rooms for further observation.
But Volunteer No. 7...
For three hours, they tried various methods, but still could not prevent the continued decline of Supporter No. 7's vitality.
Finally, at the eighth hour, Volunteer No. 7 was confirmed dead!
This is a heavy blow to the entire genetic branch.
After so many simulations, why does something still go wrong?
The second group conducted tests on the nine successful volunteers as planned, and the second group followed me to study the reasons for the failure of group member No. 7.
"Yes, Dean!"
------
Because of the death of Volunteer No. 7.
The experiment, which was originally scheduled to be conducted every three days, was terminated.
A month later, two reports from Su Yingxue were also placed in front of federal senior officials.
High-rise conference room.
"So, it's because of a genetic defect?"
"Well, according to Dean Su's report, this is indeed the case!"
"Then, can the existence of this defect be detected in advance and then repaired using genetic technology before making a jump in life level?"
"I'm afraid not. According to Dean Su, this defect is very subtle and can only be revealed after exposure to Potion No. 3. Otherwise, it would be impossible to detect it in advance."
"83%..."
Su He was a little silent.
Although we know the reason, we can't avoid it.
And if we want to ignore this factor and continue to promote, then according to Su Yingxue's report, the success rate is about 83%.
In other words, 17 out of every 10,000 people will ultimately fail due to this genetic defect.
And failed...
Equal to death!
"President Su, how about we disclose this information directly and adopt the principle of self-use?"
"This is also a way!"
Opinions soon came up.
If it were another matter, most people would probably oppose it and demand that the project be shut down completely, unless the Genetics Branch could increase the success rate to 100%, or find a way to avoid death even if it fails.
But this thing...
Everyone has the same opinion, the project must continue, the only difference is how to continue.
Judging from the current situation, it is indeed not appropriate for the federal government to promote comprehensive popularization, because there is a 17% mortality rate.
Therefore, after all information is disclosed, the principle of voluntariness is adopted...
It's a barely acceptable option.
After all, according to another report by Su Yingxue.
Although the remaining nine volunteers cannot move around in the universe unlimitedly like Jiang Xingchen, they can still do it within a certain period of time.
Depending on everyone's situation, this time limit is about one day.
After exceeding its own time limit, the body's energy will quickly drain away. Once you return to the spacecraft with a life support system, you can quickly recover.
But if there are no spaceships or living planets around, it is very likely that it will eventually die in the universe.
In other words, this is like a weakened version of Jiang Xingchen.
There is no way around this. After all, Jiang Xingchen's own genes are very special, and other humans are genetically restricted and cannot reach Jiang Xingchen's height.
But no matter what, as long as the evolution of the life level is completed, the benefits are still great.
The first is the issue of lifespan. According to the testing of various technologies by the Genetics Branch, the life limit of the nine volunteers has been estimated.
Even the one with the least data is 100,000 years old.
As for the one with the longest age, it even reaches 280,000 years.
This data is quite attractive.
After all, a seventh-level genetic enhancer only has a lifespan of about 20,000 years.
Secondly, after the leap in life level, both the brain's computing speed and the physical quality will increase explosively.
Taking scientific research alone as an example, this change will increase a scientist's scientific research capabilities several times.
This is something that the federal leadership simply cannot refuse.
Even if the success rate is only 83%.
"Then, the results of the first experiment, as well as the current situation of the nine volunteers, will be disclosed to the entire federation."
"At the same time, we will continue to recruit volunteers for testing and let the Genetics Branch find ways to increase the probability of success during the testing process."
After pondering for half a minute, Su He made a decision.
------
The next day, once the news was made public, the entire federation became agitated.
How many to dozens of times can the lifespan be increased?
Can the overall physical fitness and brain operation speed be greatly improved with seventh-level genetic enhancement?
How can you fly through the void in the universe?
Our federation will not really start the immortal cultivation mode, right?
Almost everyone became excited.
As for the 83% success rate, except for a few people, it has long been forgotten by most people.
With such a cowhide effect, the success rate is 83%, which is already very high, right?
Just ten minutes later.
The federation had to close the entrance to recruiting volunteers.
because...
The number of applicants has exceeded 3 trillion, okay?
Su He had no doubt that if it was open for another ten minutes, it would be normal to exceed 100 Mbit/s.
------
Federation year 635.
The places affected by the cosmic war have become wider and wider.
Except for the Laniakea Super Galaxy Cluster controlled by the Federation, almost the entire universe is filled with flames of war.
In terms of strength, the two sides are almost evenly matched.
but...
Just this year, the camp headed by the three super civilizations launched a thunderous strike.
The three holy beasts were gathered together, plus a large number of main fleets.
After deceiving the opponent, they directly attacked the Cassia Super Galaxy Cluster.
Originally, the gain or loss of a super galaxy cluster actually had very little impact on this cosmic war.
But the key is...
The Cassia Super Galaxy Cluster is the place where the Zerg Queen was placed by those ordinary gathering civilizations.
The three holy beasts opened the way at the same time.
The garrison couldn't stop it at all, and as a result, everything was over before reinforcements arrived.
The first turning point in the cosmic war also occurred because of this.
