Before arriving at this underground base, Qin Yanyang had kept everything secret from Yang Fei.
However, once inside, she briefly introduced the situation of this laboratory to Yang Fei.
The biggest challenge for the Military Department now, aside from possibly not having enough people and power in the face of future changes, was their overall insufficient strength.
Although the elite members of the Military Department were all experts above the Energy Transformation Fifth Grade, and many were even enhanced to the strength of Innate Realm experts through various medicines.
But in reality, the overall number of such individuals was still too few.
At least in comparison to the Hidden Sect, their core strength was far from sufficient.
If not for the enhancement of special weapons, the Military Department would easily crush the Martial Alliance strength in the mundane world, but facing forces like the Hidden Sect, Heaven, and Penglai, they were far from adequate. This content belongs to novel~fire~net
Of course, this situation wasn’t unique to Divine Continent Country but was true for all the world’s major powers.
Every powerful nation faced threats from the three special forces: Hidden Sect, Heaven, and Penglai.
All the major powers were trying to change this situation. The Military Department of Divine Continent Country had been established many years ago, but even now, their overall strength was still insufficient.
In recent years, all the major powers had been diligently developing biotechnology.
Especially projects related to human genetics were heavily supported by all major powers.
It could be said that whoever mastered the new code of human genetics would dominate the future world and change the future of humanity.
The Military Department of the Divine Continent, along with some special overseas organizations, all had members who had become powerful through genetic modification.
This type of Genetic Liquid Medicine, capable of producing ’King of Single Soldiers’, could change the course of human history.
Regrettably, although progress had been made in this area and many experts had been developed, there had never been a qualitative leap capable of surpassing the powers of ancient cultivators and creating super-strong warriors.
Even the expert elites within the Military Department were cultivated based on the foundation of Martial Arts Practitioners.
Therefore, Qin Yanyang’s purpose for inviting Yang Fei to join the Military Department was very clear. She hoped that Yang Fei’s Medical Skills would help complete the development of the Genetic Liquid Medicine here and fully master the technology to then control the biological laboratory.
No matter how others understood it, in Qin Yanyang’s view, this department of national interest had to be tightly controlled and protected from encroachment by external forces.
Kong Yuren’s recent interactions with overseas forces were well known to her; even if he didn’t intend to betray his country, he might still be exploited by those forces.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a sterile laboratory, where many blue medicine liquids were displayed. In huge reaction vessels, various medicines were being injected in different ratios, visibly merging or repelling, creating various reactions.
Several staff members were taking notes, recording various data under different ratios of original liquid at different times.
Yang Fei removed his gas mask.
Kong Yuren was startled and scolded in a hurry, "What are you doing? Put it back on quickly, many of these substances can harm the human body, do you not care for your life?"
Yang Fei flashed him a smile and shook his head, "Don’t worry, I won’t be harmed."
"Don’t talk. Put the mask back on immediately, or get out. Even if you are unharmed, the bacteria that your speech produces might also affect various experimental data, then you... you illiterate, you don’t understand anything, Minister Qin how could you bring such a person here? It’s reckless," Kong Yuren said angrily, stomping his foot.
His outcry soon attracted the attention of many other staff members.
Several senior biologists who seemed older than Kong Yuren frowned. Several of them gathered around and loudly scolded Yang Fei, even making moves to throw him out.
"Stop! You all seem quite free, don’t you?" Qin Yanyang swept her gaze over those people and rebuked them coldly.
These biologists immediately stopped. Although they wore masks, their actions and expressions clearly showed their deep respect for Qin Yanyang.
"Minister Qin, what kind of person have you brought here? He could damage the experimental data, there’s so much genetic fluid at risk here," an elderly man said.
Qin Yanyang slightly furrowed her brow and said, "I know what I’m doing, and I understand your concerns, but please trust my decision."
Then she looked toward Yang Fei, her eyes a mix of helplessness.
"Can you manage, or not? This is a sterile room. Don’t you know that removing your mask and speaking can cause various accidents?"
Yang Fei sensed Qin Yanyang’s helpless gaze, smiled faintly, and said, "It’s not as exaggerated as they say. If I’m not mistaken, what’s happening now is just a routine experiment used for data collection. Such experiments should be conducted countless times every day."
"But each set of experiment data is extremely valuable. If you compromise even one of them, the loss is significant," Kong Yuren said angrily.
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Just by me speaking a few words it gets ruined? If that’s the case, the stability of this medicine liquid is too poor. If it’s not stable enough, how will it ever become a finished product, how will it be preserved? This just shows that you still have a long way to go before you achieve the final drug synthesis."
"Where did this ignorant kid come from? You don’t know shit."
"Yeah, isn’t this just blind criticism? Every single original liquid medicine here is very mature. Once these substances are successfully synthesized, it will be a major breakthrough, changing human genes, completely transforming this world."
"This is a great and arduous project; do you think it’s easy?"
Several experts in the field of biological medicine in this lab spoke one after another.
"Heh, this is indeed a great and arduous scientific project, being able to develop so many kinds of genetic fluids already makes you remarkable. Unfortunately, achieving the effects you envision is impossible," Yang Fei said, sensing the state of these genetic fluids and slowly shaking his head, his tone tinged with a hint of admiration.
With his keen sense of medicine, he could identify all the components of the genetic fluids in the sterile room just by smell.
He had even guessed what these biologists ultimately aimed to synthesize and what they wanted to achieve.
The direction was correct.
The composition of various fluids wasn’t problematic either.
Even the required materials were comprehensive.
But the final fusion was unattainable.
This project would not succeed even if it continued for another hundred years, or even a thousand years.
"Impossible?" Kong Yuren couldn’t help it, jumped up in front of Yang Fei and said, "What makes you say it’s not feasible? According to our reasoning, it is totally achievable in theory. The reason it hasn’t been successful must be because the conditions are not yet ripe, or we haven’t found the right synthesis ratio."
Yang Fei chuckled lightly, sarcastically responding, "Are you trying to deceive a three-year-old child? If the theory was already perfect, then improper ratios wouldn’t exist, because you would have calculated it countless times by now, knowing exactly which ratio would lead to the synthesis of the final genetic medicine liquid. If the ratios are wrong, the reactions would be different, and the final product would surely be flawed. So, it’s definitely not a problem of various liquid ratios."
As soon as he said this, the whole sterile lab fell silent.
A few people opened their mouths as if to speak but ultimately chose silence because Yang Fei was right.
The theoretical data had already determined the ratios of various agents, so the ratios in each experiment could not possibly be mistaken.
But the inability to complete the final synthesis made them doubt their theoretical data, so they conducted experiments with different ratios.
Even if one such experiment eventually succeeded, the final product synthesized would no longer be the one they theorized they needed.
"So, the real waste is on your part," Yang Fei finally swept his gaze over everyone, landing on Qin Yanyang, and said, "If you believe what I say, then stop these experiments now. They’re just too wasteful; each experiment is a waste."
"What right do you have to say that? You’ve said so much, do you perhaps have a way to solve this problem, do you have the capability to complete the final product synthesis experiment?" Kong Yuren asked loudly.
"Right, you say we are wrong, do you think you can do it?"
"Young man, don’t be too arrogant. In the Divine Continent, if we old folks can’t do it, then nobody can succeed."
"Exactly, we’ve been researching this project for several years to get to this current stage, and you dismiss it with a single sentence. Who do you think you are?"
Yang Fei laughed and nodded, "You really are asking the right person. This thing won’t work if you keep messing around with it like you are. It indeed needs me to make it work."
