Next, Chu Jungui left the No. 2 base. Accompanied by the girl and Li Ruobai, there were also several scientists headed by Le Mans. After not seeing each other for a while, Le Mans was still the same as before, but the hair on his head was getting thinner.
It's sparse, and there's a little more flesh on the face.
Everyone took several transport vehicles to go outside the base. Although the area around the base was very safe now, the scientists' combat effectiveness was average, and the destination was dozens of kilometers away, beyond the coverage of the fortress artillery. For safety reasons, Chu Jun returned to
I brought a few chariots with me.
During the drive, Le Mans seemed a little uneasy and explained: "This experiment did have my consent, but the possibility of accidents is very high. I only approved the experiment from the perspective of exploration and innovation. After all, in a normal environment
It would be almost impossible to replicate such an experiment, so some additional resources were used..."
"It doesn't matter, let's take a look first." Chu Jun returned.
The transport convoy quickly approached the target area. This was a forest, and the roars and roars of beasts could be heard in the distance. More than a dozen engineering vehicles were working, nailing pillars tens of meters long into the ground.
.Hundreds of pillars have been erected on the ground, forming a huge arc, faintly surrounding the forest in front of them.
There are dozens of tanks parked at the site, as well as hundreds of fully armed soldiers. Although the tanks are still junk-level and have not been further upgraded, there has not been a danger around the base that requires the dispatch of 10 tanks for a long time. And the scene
The commander still felt that it was not safe enough, and even called in a fortress-type ark with hundreds of gun barrels pointed at the center of the forest.
Outside the erected pillars, two transport trucks pulling huge containers came and stopped at the edge.
Chu Jungui nodded, and the transport truck drove into the forest along the opened road and came to an open space. One side of the container was opened, then tilted, and the contents were dumped on the ground. The box was filled with meat.
Of course, these are not natural meat, but synthetic meat produced after simple processing of compressed food raw materials purchased by Chu Jungui, adding water and other ingredients. It only tastes worse than natural meat, but the nutrients and calories are higher than that of natural meat.
Natural meat is much higher. The two containers contain a total of 200 tons of synthetic meat, piled up like a hill in the open space.
There were strange sounds in the forest, and strange beasts came out of the forest one after another and began to eat meat. They were obviously used to being fed, and they were all engrossed in eating, with few looking around.
Chu Jun returned to his side, and the wise man was reporting: "The domestication of natural beasts has made staged progress. They are now accustomed to feeding, and instinctively confirm that the surroundings are safe. Their vigilant movements have been greatly reduced, and they will soon be
Basically disappeared. They have established nests in nearby forests, and their breeding cycle has been greatly shortened. The gestation period has been reduced from 3 months to 1 month. This proves that with the increase of food, they can dynamically adjust their reproductive capabilities. Wait until
When a new generation of alien beasts is born, I can try to gain initial control over them."
"Can't this batch work?" Chu Jungui asked.
"They are completely wild and can only be domesticated, not controlled."
Le Mans said at this time: "The Fog Clan's cultivation of war beasts is carried out through some kind of biological cultivation factory. That kind of technology is beyond our capabilities and cannot be cracked yet. But with the cooperation of wise men, I think it can be
Use the existing biological culture system to replace it. However, our data are limited, and biotechnology is still at the level of 150 years ago. The culture efficiency is about one-tenth of that of the Wu clan, but it is enough to carry out simple work. "
"Go and have a look."
Everyone came to the side of the forest, where a small laboratory was established. There were several rows of culture tanks in the central hall, with strange beasts of different sizes floating in them. Some were still embryos, but some were close to adulthood.
.In the laboratory on the side, there are various advanced war beasts in the culture tank, mainly the spinyback beast, and there is also a living missile larvae.
Le Mans said: "We have complete war beast genes on hand, so while cultivating exotic beasts, we also try to develop advanced war beasts simultaneously. This will increase the resource consumption a little, but it will greatly speed up the development of war beasts."
Experimental progress..."
Having said this, Le Mans looked at Chu Jungui inquiringly.
Chu Jungui nodded and said, "Okay."
Next to him, Li Ruobai looked shocked: "Are you doing these things secretly? Are we going to create a tide of beasts ourselves?"
Le Mans said: "This is just the first step of the experiment. Our purpose is not to copy the beast tide, but to reproduce the technology of the Mist Tribe. Of course, now there is a new research goal, which is to create a robot with a certain degree of autonomy.
A smart working beast."
Li Ruobai frowned and said: "Le Mans, I think you are playing with fire. What if the things you create lose control or escape? Aren't we re-creating the beast tide ourselves?"
Chu Jun returned: "It doesn't matter if there is a tide of beasts, just eliminate them."
Li Ruobai shrugged and stopped talking, but looking at his expression, he didn't accept it.
There is now a division of labor within the two bases. Li Ruobai is responsible for the overall operation of the base and production capacity development. The wise man is mainly responsible for research and daily task breakdown and arrangement. The girl and Le Mans are each responsible for research in one direction. The girl is mainly responsible for machinery and main brain, while Le Man is responsible for the research in one direction.
Mang is engaged in research in general and biological directions. In the past period of time, each of them had their own resources and did not interfere with each other, so Li Ruobai did not know what Le Mang and the Wise Man were doing.
At this time, a culture tank lowered from the top of the experiment, with a piece of meat floating in it that was so small that it was almost invisible. Then the wise man divided a small piece of black mist and injected it into the culture tank from Le Mans. The black mist was like a few pieces of meat in the culture solution.
A small fish quickly swam close to the piece of meat and merged with it.
The piece of meat shook, and then began to grow crazily. The production speed directly increased dozens of times, and began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. The culture tank also began to vibrate violently, and various data entered the red area in the blink of an eye. Each micro-engine was turned on.
Maximum power, continuously injecting nutrients, and at the same time pumping away the chaotic nutrient solution.
But obviously, the power of this culture tank cannot keep up with the growth of meat.
Both the girl and Li Ruobai looked worried, while Chu Jungui watched silently and remained calm.
Soon the meat chunks filled most of the culture tank, and the culture tank could no longer accommodate it. At this time, the wise man shot a ray of light onto the meat chunks, and the meat chunks stopped growing.
Le Mans wiped the sweat from his head and explained: "This is the first step of cultivation, and it seems to have been completed smoothly so far. The next step is to grow freely, and there should be no problems. There is a possibility that the entire experiment will be successful.
It’s 98%.”
Le Mans directed several researchers to remove the culture tank and move it to the forest clearing. A transport truck drove over and dumped a box of synthetic meat.
On the other side of the clearing, the strange beasts that were eating felt a little uneasy and subconsciously moved away from the cultivation tank here.
The culture tank was opened, and the piece of meat squirmed out from inside. It had no discernible shape, just like a ball of semi-melted meat. It squirmed towards the pile of synthetic meat, and then pounced hard on the pile of meat.
The piece of meat is constantly squirming and devouring the synthetic meat. Its volume is getting larger and larger, and the synthetic meat below is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The girl frowned and said, "It's a bit disgusting."
The wise man said: "I didn't prepare a shape for it, because it was unnecessary and would waste some resources. After all, this is just a stage that will pass soon. Of course, if you definitely want it, I can also give it a good-looking shape.
.”
"No need." The girl looked disgusted, but she kept staring at every change in the meat, while her consciousness was scanning the experimental data at high speed.
In just half an hour, nearly a hundred tons of synthetic meat were devoured. The small mountain-like pieces of meat were still squirming, as if they wanted to do something, but failed.
The wise man shone a beam of light on the piece of meat, and then issued a series of instructions. The staff brought gravel, metal and even two felled double-leaf trees and threw them into the piece of meat. This time the piece of meat was devoured.
The speed was much slower, but as it was swallowed, its shell gradually emerged and gradually took on a fixed shape.
An hour later, the piece of meat turned into a cylinder with a dark appearance, and the surface was made up of hexagons. The inside of the piece of meat continued to vibrate, and a few leaves suddenly grew out of the center of the top, and then grew taller and taller.
Like a mutated double-leaf tree.
The strange big tree soon stopped producing, and then the hexagonal shell below was pushed open, and strange creatures crawled out from inside. These creatures formed starfish, with 5 arms and legs, and a bulge in the center of the body, with four eyes arranged in it.
.
The wise man shot out multiple beams of light and illuminated these new creatures. Their movements all stopped, as if they were receiving some information. After a while, a starfish creature left the group and crawled to the transport vehicle next to it. It was actually able to open the door and crawl
He entered the cab and sat on the driver's seat.
The transport truck started immediately, put away the container, then backed up, turned around, drove out of the forest, and stopped accurately in the parking lot next to it.
After parking the car, Haixing climbed out of the cab and climbed back.
The wise man introduced: "This is a new form of work beast that I designed. They have the intelligence equivalent to a 15-year-old human being. They can perform simple and repetitive tasks and can control most of the equipment we currently have. They can receive instructions from me.
, have natural adaptability to the environment and do not require any protective equipment. They have no digestive system, so they are very easy to manufacture, and a batch can be produced in 3 hours. As for the disadvantages..."
Before the wise man finished speaking, the half-climbed starfish suddenly stopped moving and lost its breath of life in the blink of an eye.
Le Mans rushed over, checked it, looked strange, and said: "It...is starved to death!"
The wise man hesitated and said: "The disadvantage is that it may eat a little too much."
