330 - Ambition and metamorphosis
After the Basilisk pattern experiment was completed, Chen Chen did not leave the minaret experimental base, but went to another laboratory.
This is a secret laboratory, and the Minaret Experimental Base was originally a secret base, and this laboratory is the top secret of the secret.
In the laboratory, hundreds of life incubators are arranged in rows, and many incubators are empty, but there are also many incubators with a naked young man suspended in them.
The faces and postures of these young people were surprisingly consistent, and they were all eight or nine points similar to Chen Chen, but they were all soaked in the incubator without any consciousness.
At this time, what Chen Chen saw was this terrifying scene.
Here, in order to achieve the physical fitness of Alice in the movie, Chen Chen opened a top-secret project - the "T Virus Customization" project.
"In order to prevent there will be no shortage of test subjects, I finally cloned a hundred of your clones again, and only six of these clones were used, and the final product appeared...... Your Excellency Godfather, please take a look. ”
Little X's voice came from the headphones, and at the same time, a black knight walked over with a spiral-shaped test tube, the liquid in the test tube was blue in color, and it looked crystal clear and beautiful.
"That's the final product, T-009."
"That is, is this the ninth edition?"
Chen Chen took the medicine and couldn't help but squint his eyes, "This T virus can really make me a superman?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with it in theory."
Little X was a little unsure, but still explained, "Compared to the previous semi-finished product, the T-009 virus has been perfected to the limit, it has a total of fifteen RNA errors knocked out, and the genetic compatibility rate with you is perfect." ”
As he spoke, another black knight in a white coat walked over with a stretcher, "Look, this is Clone 009, and it's the one that finally succeeded." ”
When Chen Chen heard this, he turned around and looked, only to see a young man tied on a stretcher with a belt that was extremely similar to his appearance, but this young man seemed to have been in a state of ignorance, looking east and west, and then saw Chen Chen, and actually smiled at Chen Chen.
In that smile, there was an innocence that Chen Chen had never had.
"He's totally a newborn baby."
"In order to prevent the T virus from affecting the host's consciousness, your clones are all kept in the brain, and before T-009 was injected, we recorded his EEG, and we tested it before, and the results showed that his thinking and consciousness have not changed. ”
"That's good news."
Chen Chen nodded, "What about the results of the experiment?" ”
"The T-009 virus is perfectly fused with the DNA of your No. 9 clone, and without changing his body shape, his strength, agility, nerve reaction speed, muscle tissue strength, and immunity strength have all increased exponentially, and after systematic training, he will never lose to any T-version black knight!"
Chen Chen took the experimental data report on the side and swept it over, "Since that's the case, let's do the final experiment." ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the hundreds of life incubators in front of him, "Extract all these clones and inject them all with T-009, I want to see what the success rate of T-009 is." ”
"That's as it should be."
Little X echoed, and immediately, the black knight in the laboratory immediately took action.
Immediately, hundreds of 'self' began to be extracted from the life hatching chamber one by one and placed on a stretcher
These clones began to be injected with three immunosuppressive drugs, rapamycin, cyclosporine A and FK506 half a month ago, and the immune coefficient of these clones has long been suppressed.
The clones that have suppressed the immune coefficient are the best raw materials for T virus experiments.
Then, before the clones could regain consciousness, they were tied to a stretcher, and Little X began to record the EEG of the clones for comparison with the T virus injection.
Although the probability is very low, if the brain waves change, it means that this drug that can improve physical fitness has certain side effects, and Chen Chen must be cautious if he uses it.
Hundreds of test subjects caused the project to be very slow, and Xiao X simply transferred twenty-five black knights as assistants, which made the laboratory completely operational, and with Xiao X's order, all Chen Chen's clones were divided into three batches and were injected with the latest T-009 virus.
As with the previous process, the clones were injected with a large amount of glucose and carbohydrates at the same time as the virus, after all, it was an evolution at the genetic level, and the injection of the affected substances was to prevent the clones from dying from malnutrition before they had died on the T virus.
Next, it's a matter of waiting.
One hour, two hours, three hours......
Minutes and seconds passed, and soon, the clones held out for 24 hours, not only did they not show death, but there was not even a single instance of a vital sign crisis.
The vitality of all clones began to increase rapidly.
From Chen Chen's point of view, these clones began to molt, and layers of fetal skin fell off on their bodies, replaced by smoother and more delicate skin.
At the same time, the clone's originally loose muscles became tighter at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and with the infusion of a large amount of nutrients and energy, this energy was absorbed by the clone's new genes, constantly changing the microscopic state of the clone......
Although their body size has not changed, the clones are slowly gaining weight, due to changes in muscle and bone density.
Thirty-six hours had passed, and the first clones had survived the T-009 virus infection, allowing themselves to become one with the T-virus.
Forty-eight hours later, the second batch of clones successfully fused with the T-009 virus.
Sixty hours later, the last clones were all successful, and none of the ninety-three clones failed.
"100% success rate......"
Seeing this result, a touch of emotion flashed in Chen Chen's eyes, "X, you have contributed a lot to this project!" ”
"Your Excellency Godfather, this is the ...... I should do"
Little X seemed a little embarrassed, and his voice was lowered.
"I thought that the 90% success rate was worth a try, but I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise!"
Chen Chen laughed and said, "By the way, let me see, how much money did you spend on the T virus that can adapt to me?" ”
"The project has taken 10 months, 5 days and 8 hours since its inception, and if you only calculate the cost and material expenses, then according to the Namibian market price, it will cost a total of 350 million US dollars."
"It doesn't sound like a lot, but what if you add in the cost of manpower and time?" Chen Chen asked.
Little X replied, "Then it is difficult to calculate, if you only rely on estimates, in order to study the T-009 virus, we have prioritized the resources of many projects, resulting in the postponement or failure of some projects, if you count the loss of manpower, time, and other projects, we have invested about 10 billion to 15 billion US dollars......"
Chen Chen nodded, he picked up a test tube of T-009 with emotion, looked at the blue potion inside, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Tens of billions of dollars of capital investment is enough to bring down any large and medium-sized pharmaceutical group, and only the world's top pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson can barely pay such a big price to conquer a new drug."
"It's a pity that there are not many board members behind those pharmaceutical giants, and it is impossible for the entire company to devote manpower and material resources to just one person for profit, that is, so far, I am the only one in the world who is qualified to do this, this kind of arbitrary feeling ......"
Chen Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth provoked a presumptuous smile, "It's really good!" ”
As he spoke, Chen Chen turned his head and said, "Let's start, X, I can't wait to have stronger power!" ”
……
Half a month later.
Chen Chen stood naked in a laboratory, which was a sterile laboratory, except for Chen Chen, the rest of the black knights were wearing protective clothing to avoid contaminating the laboratory.
At this time, Chen Chen's skin was pale, his expression was haggard, and even his hair was a little yellow, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past half a month.
This is a sequelae of prolonged injection of a variety of immunosuppressive drugs.
These drugs seriously damaged Chen Chen's body, causing Chen Chen's body that had been exercised by taking NZT-48 to dry up again, and the muscle loss was very serious.
But at this time, Chen Chen couldn't take care of these anymore.
"Your Excellency Godfather, your body's immune system has reached its requirements, it's just your body's ......"
"It's okay, my body can hold up."
Chen Chen waved his hand, and finally asked, "Have all those clones of mine undergone cosmetic surgery?" ”
"Yes, all clones have undergone cosmetic surgery, and it is guaranteed that they will not look like you at all appearances."
Little X replied, "And these clones have shown an amazing ability to learn, and when all the clones have new faces, we can hire expert teachers to educate you from the basics, so that your clones can grow into the best researchers." ”
Chen Chen nodded slightly.
These are all solutions that Chen Chen thought of after careful consideration.
After all, these are their own compatriots, and if they are also black knights without brains, it is fine, as long as the chip is implanted, they can become a qualified black knight.
However, these clones have brains, which makes it a bit tricky.
So, Chen Chen came up with this method.
First, let this group of clones undergo a cosmetic surgery to change their appearance, and then the teacher will give them all the knowledge to cultivate these clones into the scientific researchers that Chen Chen lacks the most.
Of course, Chen Chen will not let these people come into contact with the military, and civilian status is the highest threshold that Chen Chen can tolerate.
At this time, after talking to Xiao X, Chen Chen walked straight to a life hatching warehouse, and then climbed up from the ladder next to him.
Standing on the edge of the hatching bin, Chen Chen took a deep breath and then jumped into the hatching bin.
At this time, there was no water in the hatching bin, but it was empty, but as Chen Chen jumped in, an intelligent robotic arm immediately crossed the guide rail of the ceiling and covered the top cover of the hatching bin.
Pipes hung down along the vacant part of the top cover, including a fist-thick respirator and a huge nutrient input needle, at this time, Chen Chen skillfully fixed the respirator to his mouth, and then tried to take a few breaths, and then gave a thumbs up to Xiao X outside the hatching room.
Then, Chen Chen picked up a few more needles and inserted them into the veins of his left and right arms.
Immediately after all this, a large amount of pale yellow water slowly flowed down the edge of the hatchery, and the water was kept at a normal temperature of 36.5 degrees, which is just in line with the temperature of the human body.
The pale yellow culture liquid flooded Chen Chen little by little, and from beginning to end, Chen Chen kept his eyes closed until the culture liquid completely submerged into the top of Chen Chen's head, and suddenly Chen Chen was automatically suspended in the culture medium.
Subconsciously, Chen Chen curled up with his hands on his knees, as if the fetus had returned to its mother's posture......
"Your Godfather......
Xiao X seemed to whisper something, but at this time, when Chen Chen heard it, he could only hear a low humming sound.
However, Chen Chen seemed to understand what Xiao X was hesitating, he first shook his head, then nodded again, and then closed his eyes completely.
Seeing this, Xiao X finally stopped hesitating, Chen Chen only felt that his left arm was cold, and it seemed that something flowed into his blood along the needle.
Chen Chen knew that it was the T virus, and it would wipe out human civilization in a few tens of milliliters.
Then, time passed......
A few hours later, all the black knights exited, and the entire sterile laboratory was closed at the same time, and the lights in the entire laboratory were also gently dimmed, as if they were afraid of disturbing the sleeping person.
At this time, there was only silence left in Chen Chen's laboratory, only the instruments were lit up with indicator lights, illuminating the laboratory dimly and even more lonely.
Faintly, through the glass of the cultivation chamber, it can be observed that Chen Chen's limbs are curled up, his eyes are closed peacefully, and he is curled up in the cultivation chamber like a fetus, only his chest is slightly undulating.
This is the 36th hour since Chen Chen was injected with the T virus.
It's just that all this seems to be silent, but outside the door of the laboratory and even the entire spire experimental base, hundreds of black knights have already been stationed, and the order they received is to prevent all members of the spire experimental base who do not listen to the warning from approaching Chen Chen's laboratory without authorization, and the situation is urgent and allows direct killing.
And Xiao X, on the other hand, has already closed all the gates of the spire experimental base, and monitors all the scientific research workers in the experimental base every moment, once someone has any abnormality, the next moment a group of black knights will control and imprison them.
The scientists at the experimental base didn't know what was going on, they only felt that in the past two days, the atmosphere in the laboratory had begun to become more and more oppressive, and it seemed that there was a thick cloud hanging over everyone's heads, so that no matter what they did, they needed to be careful......
