As the cornerstone for the previous civilization to survive to the end, the Mantis Project has always been Ryan most important research. Without this thing, human civilization would have ended during the Seventh Herrscher.
He has been in this world for more than 20 years. Not only has he participated in theoretical research, he has also personally conquered the Herrscher, and he knows that Honkai is targeted.
Therefore, it is not possible to just advance in technology in a simple way. Before humans can develop the Ark and escape, they have already been destroyed by the Honkai Impact. If they want to survive this catastrophe, they must take an unconventional approach.
The most appropriate thing to do is to take the initiative to face the collapse.
Thanks to Ryan influence, there is no resistance inside the Fire Moth now, and Mobius can finally give it his all. However, it is still unexpected that there will be a breakthrough so quickly.
The two entered the deepest laboratory. Klein was comparing data. When he saw the two people come in, he bowed politely and greeted them. Ryan returned the nod, but Mobius didn't care about the red tape.
She just grabbed Ryan arm and dragged him into the specimen preservation room.
"Hurry up, you will be amazed by the magic of life when you see it."
Feeling the touch of his arm rubbing against the full chest, Ryan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this Mobius had a queen face, but looked like a little girl who wanted to show off her favorite toy.
Okay, satisfy your desire to perform.
Ryan also acted excited and was pulled in front of the electron microscope. He stuck his head out and looked more and more focused.
"How about it?"
"The two genes have reached a stable state. The Honkai factor is no longer corrosive, as if it has been imprisoned. Based on this, it can ensure that humans will not become dead soldiers, but have the ability to control Honkai energy."
After staying with Mobius for so long, Ryan became an expert in biology. He could not hide anything from the lens, so he looked up in surprise.
"You did it."
When her eyes came over, Mobius couldn't help but smile on her originally reserved face. She was very proud and gently brushed her long hair.
"Haha, this is normal for me. Of course, this is only initial success."
"Beginning?"
"Well, I need to solve two things now." Mobius paced back and forth, holding up two fingers: "First, the side effects of the upper-level Honkai beast cannot be completely suppressed for the time being, and it will cause some mutations in humans; second, the super-mutation factor is still unstable, and it requires an extremely difficult operation."
"I thought that if I could just copy this gene and give it an injection, the problem would be solved."
"It's not that easy, at least not now." Mobius rolled his eyes at Ryan and continued, "The animal experiments have been completed, and the preliminary human experiments have also passed on me..."
"What? You're using yourself as an experiment. Are you going to die?"
Before she finished speaking, Ryan had already pulled Mobius over, frowning, his gray eyes filled with anger and worry. Compared to him, Mobius looked thin, as if he was pressed into his arms.
Chest pressed against chest, slightly compressed when breathing, their eyes met, Mobius' green eyes still showed astonishment, and when he looked closer, he found that the center of his pupils seemed to be erect like a snake.
Ryan watched as the pair of snake eyes changed from astonishment to smile, and finally to a hint of ridicule, and then he subconsciously released his hand that was pressing on the woman shoulder.
"Ahem, forgive me for losing my cool, but it would really trouble me if you died."
Just a bother?
Mobius raised his eyebrows and rubbed her shoulders gently. Ryan had been very strong just now, which made her feel a little painful, but this just showed that it was a subconscious behavior of the man, without any acting at all.
She recalled the feeling just now. It was a little painful physically, but she was very satisfied mentally. This unreasonable contrast made her grumble.
"In fact, it feels good to be cared for by others."
"What did you say?"
"I say, do you think I'm a fool? How dare you use myself as an experiment without any confidence? I'm different from a barbarian like you. Every step I take is carefully calculated." Mobius raised his chin and returned to his sarcastic and proud expression.
This woman really doesn't know how to appreciate a good person.
Ryan gritted his teeth, his expression gradually turned cold: "So what's the result?"
"I used a special Honkai Emperor as the material. Of course, this low-level Honkai beast cannot satisfy me. I just verified the possibility. As for the result--" Mobius covered his face, and the snake pupils that emerged from between his fingers looked unusually ghostly.
"Great! My energy and strength have greatly improved. Up to now, I have not eaten or rested for five days and twelve hours. Cell aging has also begun to stop. This fragile body is becoming more and more beautiful!"
Ryan could hear the purest joy between the lines. Mobius had finally taken the first step in his years of pursuit. If she hadn't just said something foul, he would have applauded and congratulated her.
Faster, stronger, longer life, this is what Mobius is chasing, she slowly emerges from the cocoon into a butterfly.
"If it has intelligence, the Honkai Beast is indeed a perfect creature. It feeds on energy and is free from the shackles of the flesh. Another thing you haven't noticed is that its physical strength has also greatly improved."
Ryan also reacted. He was in a hurry and didn't pay attention. Not to mention a otaku like Mobius, even Sakura would have had a broken bone.
"Oh, this is just an insignificant accessory to me. So, aren't you curious about why I was able to break through so quickly?"
Ryan thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "My tube of blood?"
"That's right. You—" Mobius came over and brushed her slender fingers across Ryan chest. "You are such an incomprehensible treasure. I want to eat you up in one bite."
Her fingers slid across her chest muscles, feeling a tingling sensation. Ryan took a half step back, not caring about this ambiguity, but instead began to ponder.
Is it really effective? No, my body tissues have been checked with the most advanced instruments and there is no difference between them and normal people. In terms of cell activity, they are even not as good as Kevin, a sports student.
His mind was full of question marks. Of course he knew that there were some things that science could not explain, at least the science of human civilization was not enough, such as the adaptability of Honkai energy and why a little girl was taller than a muscular man.
Destiny, the problem must be with destiny.
This was Ryan only answer. He didn't know why either, because fate was very subjective and couldn't be explained by itself like a system.
"Does fate not only affect the soul, but also the body? No, it seems to be above these two, beyond the material level, closer to the essence of imaginary numbers."
He couldn't figure it out. He came up with dozens of hypotheses in an instant, but there was no way to verify them, unless he found a star god to ask him face to face, and it couldn't be a fun star god like Aha, or a bad star god like Nanook.
"Tell me, what did you think of?"
I don't know when Mobius got so close that she was almost touching Ryan face, causing the man to quickly tilt his head back when he reacted.
"Okay, you said that on purpose to trick me, right? You're actually playing tricks on me."
Tsk, I've been seen through.
Mobius curled his lips and answered seriously, "This is true. I used your blood to cultivate new factors. They are extremely stable and can even increase the success rate of samples with low Honkai adaptability. But when I tried to replicate them, everything failed. Are you some kind of walking treasure?"
"How much?"
"About 30%. How about that? Isn't it amazing?"
Well, now I have become Tang San. Everyone wants to take a bite. 30% is already pretty good.
Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You think it's unscientific?"
"Of course it's unscientific. You are obviously a human being, and all your indicators are normal, but you have special effects that make people want to explore infinitely. I want to exchange bodies with you even more."
"Brain transplant surgery is useless. I can only tell you that this has gone beyond the material level."
"Is it a soul?" Mobius eyes sparkled.
"It's even more than that." Ryan answered casually. He didn't know what it was, so he just kept it a secret. He showed a surprised expression: "I thought you were going to threaten me with this kind of thing."
This is a flaw he revealed. If the comparative data of the two factors is released, he will have no a chance to deal with Honkai and should be a good Tang san.
Mantis are very picky, and in addition to their combat power, they also have an ancillary effect, which is almost unlimited lifespan, which is enough to drive the upper echelons of the Fire Moth crazy.
"I'm not that stupid. There aren't many factors that can be extracted from a tube of blood. I don't want you to become a human being. All the data has been deleted. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."
Ryan glanced at the computer and was a little tempted. After all, this was related to his personal safety, but in the end he shook his head: "No, I believe you."
For a moment, a smile appeared on Mobius tense face, as if she was very happy to be trusted by Ryan. Of course, she couldn't show it.
"Don't worry, you're such a big treasure, how can I bear to give you to others."
"Don't try to get close to me. You just set a trap for me." Ryan didn't believe it. It was obvious that Mobius said it out of fear that he would notice it.
But it doesn't matter. If she really finds out, I don't know what to do.
"So just tell me, even if it's just a little bit, I won't tell anyone." Mobius came over, put his hand on Ryan shoulder, and blew gently towards the man face.
The breath was warm, which made people imagine a lot, but Ryan was already prepared, so how could he fall for such a trick.
"Don't be ridiculous. You just took advantage of me, which just made the cover-up even. Unless you find a convincing reason."
Damn it, he's still so stubborn.
Mobius bit his lip lightly, her eyes rolled around, a plan came to his mind, and she slowly placed his hand on her flat belly.
"Yes, for example, I have something of yours in my body right now. Is that reason enough?"
"Doctor, the data has been prepared..."
Klein, who looked like a walking corpse, walked in and happened to see the two people huddled together. His eyes swept across the surprised Ryan and Mobius who looked happy, and finally stopped on Ryan hand which was on his lower abdomen.
The girl brain was working at full speed, as if it had crashed because of the situation. She ran away with the documents in a panic, and after a moment, she ran back in a panic.
Holding the documents, she bowed 90 degrees.
"Congratulations Dr. Mobius, congratulations Dr. Ryan!"
