Chapter 507: The Evolutionary Path of Hereditary Xenomorphs
Watching the burnt paper scattered onto the table, Wayne exhaled and just wanted to stand up, when a powerful force pulled him into the soul space.
Opening his eyes, Wayne saw Todd sitting in front of the conference table, his body trembled slightly involuntarily, and he whispered, "Your Majesty." ”
Although Todd remains in human form, his eyes are the pupils of a dragon.
He stared at Wayne and said slowly, "How is the formation of the Holy Cult Army?"
"Your Majesty, everything is going well. Wayne tried his best not to look Todd in the eye: "The first batch of volunteers added up to more than two thousand, and I took two hundred from among them, one hundred and fifty men and fifty women. ”
Reaching out and turning on the 3D projection in the center of the conference room, Wayne explained as he fed his memory fragments into the projection, "I designed a biochemical container for the transformation ritual, which looks like a sarcophagus with a life support system, an observation system, a thermostatic system, and a pipe flow system. ”
Open a picture showing a flowing black liquid.
"I diluted and adjusted the Tyrant's solution, filled it into a container, and placed the subject in it after physiological treatment. ”
"At the beginning of the experiment, due to the unclear ratio of xenobacteria, Sutherland archaea and tyrant solution, the probability of failure of the test subject conversion was relatively high......"
Looking at Todd's expressionless face, Wayne lowered his head and said, "In the first ten test subjects, three people died and five people went insane. However, with timely adjustments to the experimental materials and equipment, the probability of failure has gradually been reduced to an almost negligible level. The last twenty test subjects, ranging from 114 to 133, all of them have successfully converted without any failure. ”
Todd nodded: "For those believers who died in the failed experiment, I have connected their souls to the Sanctuary, and their families and friends can go to the Pilgrimage to meet them and talk about those who survived. ”
Wayne stretched out his hand to turn the screen, and a chart full of data and text appeared on the projection.
"As I told you before, the results of the subject's transformation depend mainly on their own genes, and they are also affected by the abnormal bacteria inoculated before the transformation ceremony. ”
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this form. According to the current data, the 133 volunteers who participated in the experiment mainly distributed the transformation results in the orcs, werewolves, and elves races. ”
"Interestingly, I investigated the origin and origin of each subject, and found that the transformed race had a lot to do with the ancestors and ethnicity of these subjects. ”
"For example, in the Orc section, most of the test subjects are ancestors of Okorayots, a nomadic people who lived in the wilderness and mountains thousands of years ago. ”
"In the elven section, for example, most of the test subjects have ancestors of the Maidara, an agricultural people who live deep in the forests and along rivers. ”
"And the ancestors of the werewolves, most of whom were Voltus, a people of hunters who lived in caves and hunted for a living. ”
Todd rubbed his chin and said, "Your discovery means that we can predict the transformation results of the test subjects based on race and blood. ”
Wayne nodded excitedly: "As long as we can classify and organize according to human ancestors, we can classify the test subjects." Orcs are divided into one category, werewolves are divided into one category, and elves are divided into one category. After the classification is completed, we can inoculate the xenobacteria according to the ethnic classification before the transformation ceremony. ”
"For example, orc subjects can be inoculated with abilities such as metal skin, regeneration, strength enhancement, and stone fist before transformation, werewolf subjects can be inoculated with abilities such as mimicry, speed, hawkeye, and agility enhancement before transformation, and as for elves, firebreath, frost, and sonic concussion are the best choices. ”
In this way, the test subject after the transformation will correspond to its own race, obtain the most powerful ability, and have the most suitable physical functions. Your Majesty, please think about it, orc warriors whose whole bodies are made of metal, werewolf assassins who can blend into the environment without being detected, and elven wizards who have been strengthened by the elements...... What an exciting and joyful result this will be! Your army will be unrivaled in the world!"
In addition to the excitement, Todd calmed down and thought about it carefully, and said, "There is a question, how can we determine the race and blood relationship of the test subject?"
"If you just ask, a lot of people don't necessarily know where their ancestors came from. In addition, the ancestors of different races will be related to each other due to intermarriage, which makes it even more difficult to predict the transformation results of the test subject. ”
Wayne frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I have also considered the question you said. At present, due to the lack of detection methods, we can only use some traditional and ancient methods to test. ”
"For example, bones. The Okorayots have a large skeleton with an oval skull, while the Maidalla have an elongated skeleton with a long stretch around the skull...... In addition, there are blood, pupils, hair color, soles, skin color, etc., which can be used to judge race and bloodline. ”
"But the problem is that this way of judging is too rudimentary, and it often leads to misjudgments. Wayne sighed helplessly: "So, I can only try to make the test as perfect as possible......"
Todd held his chin and whispered, "Indeed, this is a difficult problem. ”
Wayne suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing ......"
Seeing that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, Todd raised his head and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say directly, you don't need to hesitate." ”
Wayne pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Among the 133 test subjects this time, I found two extremely special test subjects, who transformed into an extremely rare race - the Gorgons. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"It was a pair of sisters, the older sister named Parri and the younger sister named Parni, and the two of them were accidentally discovered to have a very special ability - petrified gaze during the ability detection session. ”
Hearing the names of the two women, Todd was slightly stunned.
He had the impression that the sisters were in a colossal arena and that they were in a relationship with Ackerman's bastard.
Wayne continued, "The sisters didn't notice their abilities in the past, and it wasn't until they were detected that they used Petrified Gaze for the first time. ”
"This ability causes the eye to emit a blinding white light and turn the creature in front of it to stone. Moreover, I tested this ability through blood and living tissue. It turns out that this ability cannot be shared through vaccination, but can only be transmitted through genetics. ”
When Todd heard this, he analyzed: "In other words, two xenos with hereditary abilities have transformed into an extremely rare race through transformation rituals - Gorgons. ”
Wayne nodded, "That's right, the Gorgons are far stronger than other races in terms of combat ability and physical fitness. In the battle test, the sisters did not fall behind against a combat squad of twelve orcs, werewolves, and elves. ”
"But since then, I've found no other Gorgons mutants in other test subjects. Based on this phenomenon, I have a corollary. Xenos with hereditary abilities should be an extremely special existence in terms of race and blood, and there are extremely rare genes in their gene pool, allowing them to become a different race. ”
Wayne shrugged: "Of course, this inference is only on paper. After all, xenomorphs with hereditary abilities are so rare that I can't prove this inference through transformation experiments again. ”
Todd folded his arms over his chest, and his whole body fell into deep thought.
If it is a hereditary heterogene, it can really be transformed into a more powerful race through the transformation ritual. Then, among the xenos I know, there are indeed a few suitable candidates.
For example, Karin with attachment, Mary with Memory, and Rachel with Mind......
