Chapter 298 Ability Genetic Experiment

"Huh? Is there a lightning power?"

When Su Xin walked out of his own laboratory No. 1, he received a report from the researcher.

"Come on, take me to see you."

Su Xin came to Laboratory No. 2 again.

Xiang Tianhe immediately came up to him and reported excitedly: "Boss."

"Where is the experimental subject that activates the lightning power?"

"When he first activated his ability, he was very manic and had a strong tendency to attack. We used poisonous gas to stun him. Now he is brought back to the detention area."

"You haven't had time to check the data yet, right?"

"Yes, it hasn't been tested yet."

Su Xin nodded, walked to a screen and sat down, and the researcher consciously played the video.

Seeing the scene in the video of the young man's body sparkling with electric sparks, Su Xin couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, maybe there are new types of superpowers emerging, which is a good sign."

The emergence of lightning powers gave Su Xin a lot of confidence in the potential of supernatural potions.

No matter what the principle of this lightning power is, it at least proves that it is indeed possible for people to have extraordinary abilities, rather than just being limited to various changes in the physical body.

"Thunder and lightning powers may be used in various unexpected ways, and they may be able to hurt people from a distance, so remember to be careful."

Su Xin warned.

"I see."

Xiang Tianhe nodded seriously.

"In addition, since thunder and lightning powers have appeared, other mysterious and mysterious magical powers may also appear. We must be careful and guard against them. Even those experimental subjects that do not show any signs of supernatural powers must not be careless."

"Okay, I will carefully test the X gene for every experimental subject injected with pharmaceutical grade."

"It's not just about detecting the X gene. We still don't know enough about the mechanism of superpowers. Maybe someone has activated some hidden superpower. The X gene may also be in a silent state at ordinary times. The X gene will only be activated when the superpower is used. In this case It cannot be ruled out that if someone deliberately fails to show his superpower, he might look for an opportunity to escape."

Su Xin looked solemn and warned again and again:

"Superpower potions are different from space-based potions. Its effect is unknown, so all possibilities must be considered and there must be no carelessness."

"Okay, then I will communicate with Captain Wu and arrange to strengthen the security system to ensure that not a single mosquito can fly out."

"Humans are not enough."

Su Xin shook his head and said:

"I will ask the group to arrange some intelligent security robots to cooperate with you."

"Human security and robot security work together to avoid the emergence of people with supernatural powers who can affect human thoughts and will."

In various science fiction works, many works have appeared in mind control powers. Although he also knew that the existence of such powers was very inconsistent with scientific logic, he had to guard against it.

At the same time, Su Xinxin said secretly:

"It seems that I can't stay here anymore. If something unexpected happens, I won't even have a chance to react."

"I have to build a new biological experiment base and control all experiments related to superpowers in a remote area."

Thinking like this, Su Xin returned to the office.

Turning on the computer, he said: "Tianwei, help me analyze which place is most suitable for building a biological experimental base. It must be secretive, convenient for construction and transportation of equipment, and the area must be large enough."

“Pick in Dragon Country or surrounding areas.”

After the words fell, Tianwei immediately replied:

"A suitable location has been marked."

At the same time, a satellite map image immediately appeared on the computer screen in front of Su Xin, with several small number marks on it and corresponding explanatory text on the right side.

Su Xin briefly read the text introduction, then enlarged the satellite map, and looked at the terrain and surrounding environment of each marked location.

Finally, the location numbered ‘1’ was selected.

This is a hilly area in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom. It is an uninhabited land with a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from the border.

In the past, if a large biological experimental base was to be established in such a remote and uninhabited area, not only would transportation be inconvenient, but more importantly, there would be power and communication issues.

But now, with the global coverage of 6G network, even in the deepest no-man’s land, we can still contact the outside world at any time.

Secondly, controllable nuclear fusion power stations have begun to become popular in Dragon Kingdom. As long as a supporting power station is built, power supply in uninhabited areas is not a problem at all.

The most troublesome thing is the transportation of equipment and materials, which will make base construction extremely difficult.

Because this location is not only remote, but also separated from the nearby main living areas by various complex terrains such as swamps or mountains. There is no direct road to reach it, so you have to take detours everywhere or fly over from the sky.

Some heavy machinery and equipment, as well as various precision machinery for experiments, have very high requirements for transportation conditions. Transportation on such roads is extremely risky and costly.

but.

For Su Xin, who has so much money that he can never spend it all, these are easy to solve.

It's nothing more than throwing money away.

For several times the price, no matter how difficult the task is, it can be completed quickly and well.

Su Xin called Liu Qingli and asked the latter to contact the design and construction team to prepare for the project construction of the underground biological experimental base, and arranged for secretary Feng Haifeng and others to form a team to follow up on the progress of the project at any time.

After a phone call to arrange things at the base, Su Xin returned to the laboratory to continue research.

…

In laboratory number two.

Xiang Tianhe, together with other researchers, carried out experimental tasks according to Su Xin's arrangements.

In addition to daily testing of the genetic data of various superpowers, some superpowers are arranged to fight each other every day, or perform physical exercises, or learn meditation, and practice the use of superpowers.

In addition, they combined male and female superpower experimental subjects, or combined superpowers and ordinary experimental subjects, to cultivate more than a hundred test-tube babies at one time.

With Su Xin's previously improved culture solution formula and professional equipment, test-tube babies can be cultured in containers throughout the entire process and grow much faster than in human mothers.

Two months later.

Xiang Tianhe once again found Su Xin, who had not shown up for a long time, and reported with a serious face:

"Boss, the experiment has made progress."

"Well, you say."

Su Xin has been immersed in his Laboratory No. 1 recently, alternately carrying out multiple research tasks, and is very busy, but he has not paid attention to the specific progress of Laboratory No. 2.

"During this period, we have been conducting research on the genetic characteristics of superpowers, and we have already achieved preliminary results."

"We cultured a total of one hundred and twenty embryos and divided them into three groups. The fifty in the first group are the combinations between superpowers and superpowers, and the fifty in the second group are The combination of superpowers and ordinary experimental subjects.”

"The last thirty in the third group are the combination of experimental subjects whose abilities failed to be activated."

"At present, these larvae have successfully grown to the physiological age equivalent to a one-year-old baby."

"We conducted blood tests on these three groups of babies today to detect the X gene."

"The results show that the X gene in the first group of five babies is activated, that is, they are born with superpowers."

"Among the remaining forty-five, the X gene in five babies is not activated, but it is more active than normal. It seems that it may be activated at any time. We can call it a semi-activated state."

"Only one of the babies in the second group had the X gene in an activated state, and two others were also in this semi-activated state."

"As for the third group, the X gene in the twenty babies is completely normal."

"Based on these three sets of experiments, we can preliminarily judge that the X gene does have a certain probability of conferring superpowers on offspring through inheritance. If both parents are superpowers, then the probability of inheritance will be obviously higher."

"As for the third group, perhaps because the experimental base is too small, it cannot be concluded that the experimental subjects who failed to activate have no genetic potential for supernatural powers. Further experiments are needed."

Su Xin's eyes brightened slightly and asked:

"What kind of abilities does the newborn have? Does it have anything to do with the parents?"

Xiang Tianhe said: "Because the babies are still young and cannot actively use their powers, only one of the baby girls has some snake-like scales on her body. It should be a beast-like power, which is different from her parents. Her parents are the enhanced type and the mutated type respectively.”

"In other words, the inheritance of the X gene will only allow the offspring to have superpowers, and the specific types of superpowers they will have are also random."

Su Xin said thoughtfully.

Xiang Tianhe nodded: "This can basically be confirmed, because among the other newborns whose X gene is activated, one of the parents of the newborn is a person with lycanthropy. If the type of superpower can also be inherited, then This newborn should also show some characteristics of a lycanthropic person, but it turns out it doesn’t.”

"It means that this newborn baby is most likely not a beast-like superpower, but someone else."

Su Xin nodded and suddenly asked:

"Has No. 62 produced offspring?"

The number 62 he was talking about was the experimental subject who activated the lightning power two months ago. His name was Shinoda Ichimai. He was also the only elemental power user so far.

Elemental type is the fourth type of superpower they added specifically for Shinoda City Guard.

"Three offspring were bred, but none of the X genes in the body were activated."

Xiang Tianhe shook his head.

Among the four types of superpowers, only the elemental type shows the highest potential, so they also attach great importance to Shinoda Ichimai, the only elemental superpower, and have conducted many studies and experiments.

Shinoda Ichimai's ability is to discharge electricity to the outside world, but he cannot absorb electricity from the outside world, nor can he control electricity from the outside world. In other words, he can only control the current generated in the body and release it.

After release, he has no control over how the electricity is conducted.

The voltage limit of the electricity he can release is about 500 volts, which is much higher than ordinary household electricity. If it hits an ordinary person head-on at close range, it is enough to cause fatal injuries.

But for the strengthener, this voltage is not too strong. Even if it is hit head-on, it cannot kill with one blow, so it is not considered a big threat.

As for the size of the current, it will show great differences due to different emotions or wills.

In short, although Shinoda Shiwei's abilities are very unique and have great potential compared to other people's abilities, they are not much beyond others and are still within everyone's control.

At this time, Xiang Tianhe asked again:

"Boss, do we want to conduct the next stage of genetic experiments on superpowers?"

Su Xin shook his head:

"Now that the rules of inheritance of superpowers have been generally verified, there is no need to continue genetic experiments. Otherwise, the issue of raising newborns will cause a heavy burden on us."

With that said, Su Xin sighed lightly.

If it weren't for the purpose of verifying the genetic rules of superpowers, he would really not be willing to raise newborns. This would place too heavy a psychological burden on people.

The reason why he arranged for Xiang Tianhe to carry out the experiment was that he had never personally understood the progress of the experiment, and the guilt in his heart was also one of the main reasons.

And more importantly, the subsequent placement of these newborns is also quite distressing.

There are currently only 120 newborns, and Su Xin can arrange for someone to take care of them and be responsible for observing and recording their performance. But if there are more newborns, I'm afraid a kindergarten building will have to be specially arranged to take care of them.

After thinking for a while, Su Xin said again:

"However, Experiment 62 still needs to continue arranging genetic experiments and arrange a few more groups to see if the descendants of elemental superpowers may give birth to other new types of superpowers."

"OK."

"Also, how's the power enhancement experiment going?"

"At present, we have summarized some rules, and supernatural powers can indeed be enhanced."

Xiang Tianhe said: "We trained the thirty-eight superpowers in different ways. Some performed physical exercises, some performed mental meditation, and some performed superpower exercises."

"As a result, superpower training has the most obvious effect, and other methods are basically useless."

"Shinoda Shiwei is also practicing according to his supernatural powers. Currently, the maximum voltage he can release has been increased to more than 600 volts, which is about 20% higher than two months ago."

Su Xin smiled: "Yes, let them continue training. If there are new materials in the future, they should continue to inject medicine. If a special power is born, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

In the past two months, he has had some inklings of the X-gene replication technology, and it won't be long before he can try a superpower replication experiment.

If a powerful power appears, or a power with special value appears, it will be the best news for Su Xin.

but……

Injecting potions alone is still too slow to spawn superpowers. After all, their source of materials determines that the number cannot be too large.

After returning to the office.

Su Xin thought intently.

"Is there any solution that can solve the problem of the number of superpowers?"

"We must not only spawn a large number of superpowers, but also avoid causing too much impact on the current social order, and avoid the emergence of some magical superpowers that would bring danger to me or my family."

"In addition to the superpower experimental base under construction, it may be possible to set aside an isolated area as a living place for superpowers, allowing them to live and reproduce there, thereby spawning more and more superpowers. .”

"And I just need to tightly confine them to this area, keep them sealed, keep them under surveillance, and the superpowers I want will always be born."

Su Xin pondered.

An idea gradually emerged in his mind. (End of chapter)
