"Or rather, it can resist death!"

"What?" White's expression fluctuated visibly, and he asked, "Dr. Okun, you mean that we can also become immortal?"

"Yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info" Dr. Okun nodded, wiped his glasses with his tie, and said with a frenzied glint in his eyes, "It's a form of energy I've never seen before, and we call it divine energy. It can completely change the form of life, make us smarter, stronger, and younger. ”

"How do you know?"

"You're standing in front of the answer, and of course, for now, it's still theoretical. But believe me, as long as the big guy is here, there will be a day when it will be realized. Miller is a bioengineer who is well versed in DNA, and this energy even partially alters the composition of DNA. Dr. Miller believes that with a sufficient supply of energy, we can also achieve immortality and even legendary superpowers. ”

Like a college student who likes to play tricks, Okun looked at the people around him, placed on the control panel in front of the metal ball, and smiled, "Hey, don't you want to see the monsters inside?"

All eyes were drawn at once, and what Dr. Okun said of immortality was, in a way, the ultimate dream of all mankind. Especially in the United States, where science, medicine, and astronomy are more developed, they believe in the existence of God and the existence of mysterious forces in this world.

The history of the United States is not long, but their culture, including movies, comics, literature, etc., has created those world-famous characters, such as Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and all kinds of incredible Marvel heroes, all of which contain the primitive dreams of human beings, superpowers and eternal life, comparable to God.

Dr. Okun skillfully manipulated the electronic screen, and the side of the metal ball slowly opened, revealing a double-tyched cylindrical glass container.

The metal container was filled with a formaldehyde-like liquid, and it was clear that it was soaked in two distinct objects - a common bluefin tuna and a lump of tumors that resembled cell tissue.

"Are you all ready?"

Okun exclaimed, like the conductors soliciting guests outside the circus tent, "Ladies and gentlemen, here are my lovely test specimens about to possess superpowers." ”

He wanted to go on—as often as he often did—but Mr. White's somewhat impatient expression dissuaded him. He entered a series of numbers from the button panel, and the metal ball slowly closed.

The humming of a machine echoed through this deep, enclosed space. At this time, everyone noticed that dozens of metal pipes were connected to the bottom of the metal ball, and it was from here that the vibrations were emitted.

After about ten minutes, the metal ball door slowly opened. The scene inside surprised everyone, the bluefin tuna, which was only more than half a meter long before the experiment, had an explosive body, with a body size of nearly two meters, and it was stuffed with the entire container.

The most bizarre thing is that its fins have become two slender tentacles like arms, its head is bent down like a dolphin, and its two large, tame black eyes reveal an expression of surprise that only humans have, as if they are infinitely amazed at the people outside the glass.

Humanoid fish, or fish-people.

Okun observed the faces of the people, all of whom showed those shocked expressions.

"This is our third experiment, and this little guy is really lucky. And it's obviously different from the previous two times, everyone looks at its face, it's like a child, and the fins, to be exact, it's his upper limbs. I can see that it's very flexible, as flexible as a human being. Dr. Miller dissected the first two and found that their sensory organs were completely different from those of tuna, and even more perfect than those of humans. ”

Dr. Miller adds, "It's super self-healing, it's like, well, like Wolverine. The wounds on its body can heal in a very short time. This is clearly an extremely valuable capability. ”

White excitedly said, "This will allow us to have undead warriors!"

"The scariest thing is that it has the ability to learn, to acquire knowledge, to use tools, and even to communicate, just like us!"

"Dr. Okun, please continue! You say, it will communicate?"

White was clearly intrigued, and the experiment reminded him of a science fiction movie.

"OK, its brain, extremely developed, brain volume has increased dramatically. It has no vocal cords and does not make sounds, but experiments have proven that they use a kind of extrasensory perception. ”

"Telepathy. Miller said bluntly. "They read each other's thoughts. It's just a pity that they have a short lifespan and haven't had time to study them in more depth."

"Alright, alright, Dr. Miller. A sarcastic look swept over Dr. Okun's face. "Haven't we discussed it many times? There is no scientific basis for making such an assertion. I really don't want to be different and make our guests see us as fools. ”

Dr. Miller smiled and said, "Because I've sensed its thoughts, and it's funny to say." I felt it expressing fear to me, and I was sure it was telepathy. It's just that, as Dr. Okun said, there is not enough evidence to prove it. Because the evidence is so hard. ”

As they spoke, they all looked at White to see how he reacted. No surprise, the shock on White's face turned into an indescribable surprise.

White held out his hand and said, "Dr. Okun, I'm sorry for my rudeness. It seems that we didn't choose the wrong person, and you did a good job. So, I wonder if this energy can be used in humans. ”

Dr. Okun looked embarrassed and said, "You know, we can't use humans right now. It's kind of inhumane—"

At this time, Leeth, an assistant beside White, frowned and said, "Dr. Okun, this is not a problem. You are contributing to all of humanity, and all great achievements require sacrifice.

"I don't know. Dr. Okun shook his head, "It's kind of against my will." ”

"No, Dr. Okun, we need to experiment immediately. White said anxiously, "The investors are getting impatient, and the Bishop is ......" He paused, leaned into Okun's ear, and said in a low and quick voice: "His body may not last until the end of the month, and all the resources are in his hands." If he dies, your experiment will be terminated, truly terminated, and there is no other possibility. ”

"Oh my God, that's a problem. ”

Dr. Okun looked agitated and hesitant. The experiment seemed to be a success, but it had a huge flaw, that is, the creature had a short lifespan, often dying within a few hours. If it is applied to people, there is a huge risk.

"Doctor, you've revealed their greatest secret, you've cracked their genetic code, and if it can be mass-produced, it will be an epic scientific achievement. ”

Dr. Okun was a little moved, and for a scientist, that was the biggest temptation. And he had an idea in his heart from the beginning of the experiment, that is, to use it on people. It's just that for humanitarian reasons, he has always exercised restraint.

At this moment, he wavered and whispered: "We need volunteers, completely voluntary." ”

Dr. White shook his hand with relief and said confidently, "That's fine! I mean you two. ”

He pointed to Oken and Miller and encouraged, "Combine your wisdom and give us a final answer." Then he leaned in to Okun and looked at him and made him understand that this was a real challenge. "Let's see if you're the best scientist on the planet. ”

White's assistant Reese frowned and said, "Doctor, do you have any plans for mass production?"

"That's for Dr. Miller, who is an expert in cytology. ”

Miller pulled a document out of his pocket and nodded, "That's what I'm going to talk about next." Cell samples from the mother were successfully isolated and a suitable match was found, a freshwater fish. I think we can make living organisms containing W in bulk by cloning its cells. ”

"It's like producing batteries?"

"Yes. ”

Reece clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's a great idea!"

Miller flipped through the papers, but shook his head, "That's not what I'm trying to show. Because we can't be sure if the clone necessarily contains the element W. In the file is another protocol, the validated protocol - cell proliferation. ”

"Cell proliferation?"

Miller politely gestured to Okun and said, "Doctor, it's your turn to show them our work." ”

"I'm honored. ”

Dr. Okun bowed, turned and activated the buttons on the control panel. There was a loud sound of the gates opening and closing at the dome, and a crane slowly descended, and on the iron hook hung a cow with the usual black and white markings, dying, mooing.

The crane falls vertically, passing through the metal ball all the way down. Everyone's eyes followed the cow's gaze downward, and they could see the sparkling water, creating a ripple.

In front of everyone's eyes, a huge black shadow emerged, at a height of about ten meters from the water surface of the cow, suddenly rushed out of the water, like an ancient giant beast, covered in black scales as big as a shield, two arms thick and powerful, fish head as big as a truck, with sharp iron jaws, swallowed the cow in one bite, and fell into the water in the air, smashing a huge splash.

A scarlet flower of blood spread across the water, and everyone gasped.

White said with a look of incredulity: "Big monster." It looked like it was twenty feet long, and I remember very well that when he sent it, it was only six feet. ”

"Yes, you are not mistaken. Dr. Okun laughed, "That's Dr. Miller's work." His cell proliferation experiments, in the space of three days, tripled its size. And it's still growing, and the limits are not yet clear. ”

Yes.

The strange fish that was twenty feet long, that is, seventeen or eighteen meters long, was none other than Ben Boerba.

This is also a reason why it is reluctant to leave, because Miller's cell proliferation has made it feel that its body and strength are all exploding.

"This is not a fish-man. Reece exclaimed, "This is a copy of Fish Slav, Godzilla." (To be continued.) )
