In the "Soldier of the Future" experimental base, Professor Jacob immediately rushed to the rehabilitation center after receiving direct authorization from the president. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Similar to the FOS modification, the Future Soldier transformation work is also carried out in a pool that focuses on a nutrient solution similar to that of amniotic fluid, except in a different way. The core of FOS modification is the gene inducer developed by Yuan Changqing, and the "Future Soldier" uses a similar method to FPF, using radioactive elements to affect and modify the ribonucleic acid in cells, which is often referred to as DNA.
Because of the [***] experimental object of the FPF, the transformation of the "Future Soldier" progressed very quickly.
Half a year ago, Jacob carried out the first transformation.
It all started with the former deputy director of operations for the CIA, Ricker, who brought back the FPF[***] test subjects.
After handing Leon over to the "Soldier of the Future" team, Jacob first took a DNA sample of him, and during the genetic profiling, the CIA thoroughly tested Leon's abilities. Because the Future Soldier experimental base was located in an underground facility in Manhattan and there was not enough room to move, Jacob agreed to send Lyon to the safer Nelly Air Force Base at the request of the CIA.
The results of the test shocked the officials involved in the "Future Soldier" project, as well as Professor Jacob and other researchers.
In terms of physical strength alone, Lyon far surpasses the best special forces, exceeding by more than one hundred percent. For military personnel, this is an almost insurmountable chasm. Doubling his physical strength meant that Leon was able to do many tactical maneuvers that ordinary soldiers could not. What's more, based on physical fitness, Lyon can take his tactical abilities to the next level, leaving no ordinary soldier in the dust.
For example, in the CIA's secret test, Leon easily defeated ten "seals" in hand-to-hand combat.
Not a wheel battle, but ten "seals" shot at the same time.
For the study, the CIA used six ordinary cameras and four high-speed cameras to film the entire fight from different angles and angles. In just a few seconds, Lyon had ten "seals" crawling on the ground. If it was a real battle, the ten "seals" would definitely be finished.
On other tests, Lyon's performance was also amazing.
For example, in the endurance test, this guy ran continuously for 24 hours at a speed of 24 kilometers per hour with a weight of 50 kilograms, and immediately went into combat mode after stopping.
For safety reasons, the CIA did not allow Lyon to conduct tests on the firing of weapons.
It's just certain that in terms of the ability to use weapons, Lyon also far surpasses the average soldier, because his naked eye vision is more than five times that of an ordinary person.
These test results eventually led the CIA and the Pentagon to spare no effort to promote the "Future Soldier" project.
Visionary soldiers saw in Lyon the future of war, and a small army of "Future Soldiers" could change the face of war. There is already a lot of information that proves that almost all the major countries have similar scientific research programs and have made great progress. If the United States cannot catch up and take the lead in the field of "transforming soldiers", then in the near future the US military will not be able to dominate the battlefield.
For Jacob, this is definitely a great thing.
What he has received here in Lyon is not only the best of the FPF project, but also the overall support of the top management, especially in the field of practical application.
Before the test work was over, the CIA reached a secret agreement with the Pentagon to set about forming the first "Future Corps".
That is, the 6th Navy SEAL Brigade.
It was not for nothing that this unit was chosen.
There are six SEALs in total, and the first five brigades have basically the same responsibilities, but they are deployed in different theaters, and each is responsible for one aspect of combat operations. The most special thing is the Sixth Brigade, which was finally formed and directly obeyed the dual command of the CIA and the Pentagon, and specialized in carrying out secret missions.
At the beginning of its existence, the main task of the 6th Brigade was to combat the rampant South American drug lords.
During the 20-odd years from the early 70s to the early 90s of the 20th century, the Sixth Brigade was deployed in Colombia and carried out an average of more than 10 anti-drug missions per month. Beginning in the mid-90s of the last century, with the normalization of the US military's anti-drug operations in South and Central America, the Sixth Brigade was transferred back to the mainland and stationed at the Marine Corps camp near Pensacola to begin to carry out special tasks arranged by the CIA.
Because the 6th Brigade often cooperated with the CIA during anti-drug operations, it still cooperated with the CIA after returning home.
After the 911 incident, the status of the Sixth Brigade was elevated. Since '02, the 6th Brigade has been given a very special mission: to hunt down the international terror tycoons who planned the 911 attacks, and nine years later, it has successfully completed this mission.
It was this operation that made the 6th SEAL Brigade famous all over the world.
In the years that followed, the 6th Brigade continued to carry out covert missions to hunt down the main leaders of terrorist groups, working with other units to kill several terrorist leaders on the CIA's blacklist.
Compared to the other five brigades, the mission of the sixth brigade is more mysterious and more difficult.
What's more, in the vast majority of cases, the commandos of the 6th Brigade were able to fight the terrorists without backup.
In other words, the Sixth Brigade has higher requirements for the individual combat capabilities of officers and soldiers.
It is not surprising that the Sixth Brigade should be the first to be transformed and become a "Transformation Corps".
Professor Jacob, who is the first person in charge of the "Soldier of the Future" project and the chief scientist of the project, has naturally taken on the responsibility of transformation.
Although Jacob was a typical administrator before the president, no one could deny his talent.
It can be said that without Jacob, there would be no "Soldier of the Future" project.
More than 20 years ago, when Jacob was still teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he proposed the "evolutionary model of DNA intervention adjustment" and published dozens of papers on it. Because there were many problems in the field of genetics at that time, especially legal and ethical problems, Jacob's paper did not spread, and only had some influence in the academic world. It was not until cloning, genetically modified crops and other related technologies were promoted and applied that Jacob's theory was taken seriously, and then he received scientific research funding from the Pentagon.
It was at this time that the "Soldier of the Future" project was founded.
Of course, it wasn't originally called "Future Soldier". In the first five years, the United States did not expect Jacob to transform into a "super soldier", but hoped to apply Jacob's research results to the field of military medicine, such as improving the efficiency of field treatment, speeding up the recovery of the wounded, and organ reconstruction, so as to reduce combat casualties and allow US officers and soldiers wounded in combat to receive more effective help.
It's just that Jacob doesn't think so, because the application in the medical field is only part of the subject.
As the research deepened, the United States soon realized that Jacob's theory could not only be used for medical treatment, but also for improving the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
From then on, the "Future Soldiers" project was considered to be in form.
After several years of refining theoretical research and formulating research plans in various aspects, Jacob formally proposed to the Pentagon to expand the scope of research and apply the results of genetic modification to the human body.
It was around this time that a scientist of Chinese descent stole Jacob's research.
Although at the beginning, the Pentagon did not attach importance to Jacob's proposal due to legal, ethical and other considerations, as well as relatively tight funding, but the CIA soon got involved and came up with information that European countries including Russia, the mainland, Japan, France, Germany, and Italy were also conducting relevant research, and the Pentagon changed its mind and cooperated with the CIA to provide comprehensive support for Jacob.
From the point of view of time, when the "Future Soldier" project was officially launched, it was already half a beat late.
At that time, the FOS project led by Yuan Changqing had entered the fast lane, and even the FPF project had been fully launched and entered the experimental stage.
Fortunately, the United States has a very strong scientific research strength, and Jacob has completed theoretical research.
What's more, after the CIA intervened, the funding of the "Future Soldier" project was effectively guaranteed.
In the first year, the C.I.A. provided $3.8 billion in research funding for the program, compared with only $1.4 billion in the five years before that. In order to speed up the research of "Future Soldiers", the CIA has also developed guys like Harris to obtain huge sums of money through various illegal means. As the "Soldier of the Future" project entered the [***] experimental phase, the CIA also provided Jacob with a large number of [***] experimental subjects.
If anything, it is that Jacob failed to find enough researchers.
Because after the CIA intervened, the Pentagon gradually reduced its association with the "Future Soldier" program, so Jacob could only recruit researchers through the CIA, and through the CIA, these researchers were placed in Columbia University, City University of New York, Rockefeller University and other colleges of higher learning.
Don't forget, the CIA is a specialized intelligence agency, not a federal law enforcement agency in the United States.
In domestic affairs, the CIA's capabilities are far inferior to those of the FBI, or even the NSA.
If it weren't for Rickle's capture of Leon in Lyon, I'm afraid Jacob would have had to wait several years to overcome the difficulties of [***] experiments.
One way or another, Jacob is the father of the "Future Soldier", and without him, there would be no "Future Soldier" project.
The arrival of Lyon has proved that the company has made a major breakthrough in the FPF project, and then the CIA has obtained intelligence that the mainland has also made a major breakthrough in this field.
There can be no longer any delay, and the "Future Soldiers" project must be put into practical use as soon as possible.
Thanks to the CIA's unsparing support, the Future Soldier program has not only made significant progress, but Jacob has also been given an unprecedented opportunity.
A complete transformation of more than 100 officers and men of the 6th Navy SEAL Brigade!
