Vol 3 Chapter 718: The disadvantage is...

Next, Jun Chu returned to Base 2. In addition to the girl and Li Ruobai, there were several scientists led by Le Mans. Not seen for a while, Le Mans is still the same, but the hair on his head is getting thinner and the flesh on his face is more.
Everyone took several transport vehicles to the outside of the base. Although the surrounding area of ​​the base is very safe, the scientists’ combat effectiveness is average, and the destination is dozens of kilometers away, beyond the coverage of the fortress cannon. For the sake of safety, Chu Jun returned Brought a few tanks.
While driving, Le Mans seemed a little uneasy and explained: "This experiment was indeed approved by me, but the possibility of accidents is very high. I only approved the experiment from the perspective of exploration and innovation. After all, it was in a normal environment. It’s almost impossible to replicate such an experiment, so some extra resources are used..."
"It doesn't matter, take a look first." Chu Jun returned.
The transport convoy quickly approached the target area. This is a forest, and one after another roars and roars can be heard from a distance. More than a dozen engineering vehicles are working, nailing pillars tens of meters long into the ground. Hundreds of pillars have been erected on the ground, forming a huge arc, faintly surrounding the forest in front of them.
Dozens of tanks and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers were parked at the scene. Although the tank is still junk-class and has not been upgraded further, there has been no danger of dispatching 10 tanks around the base for a long time. The commander at the scene still felt that it was not safe enough, and even transferred a fortress-type ark, with hundreds of gun barrels pointing at the center of the forest.
Outside of the erected pillars, two transport vehicles drove the huge container and stopped at the edge.
Jun Jun returned and nodded, and the transport truck drove into the forest along the opened road and came to the clearing. One side of the container was opened and then tilted to dump the contents on the ground. The box is full of meat.
These are of course not natural meat, but synthetic meat produced by adding water and other ingredients to the compressed food raw materials purchased by Chu Jungui after simple processing. It's just that the taste is worse than natural meat, but the nutrients and calories are much higher than natural meat. The two containers have a total of 200 tons of synthetic meat, piled up like a hill on the open space.
There was a strange sound in the forest, and strange beasts walked out of the forest and began to eat meat. They are obviously used to feeding and eating one by one, rarely looking around.
When Jun Chu returned to his side, the wise man was reporting: "The domestication of natural alien animals has made phased progress. They are now accustomed to feeding, and instinctively confirm that the surroundings are safe, and their vigilant actions will be greatly reduced. They have basically disappeared. They have established nests in nearby forests, and their reproduction cycle has been greatly shortened, and the gestation period has been reduced from 3 months to 1 month. This proves that as food increases, they can dynamically adjust their reproductive ability. Wait until With the birth of a new generation of strange animals, I can try to control them initially."
"Isn't this batch good?" Chu Jungui asked.
"They are completely wild, they can only be domesticated and cannot be controlled."
Le Mans said at this time: "The fog tribe’s cultivation of war beasts is carried out through a certain biological cultivation factory. That kind of technology is beyond our ability and cannot be deciphered at present. However, with the cooperation of wise men, I think it is possible. Use the existing biological culture system to replace it. It’s just that our data is limited, and the biotechnology is still at the level of 150 years ago, and the cultivation efficiency is about one-tenth of that of the Wuzu, but simple work is enough."
"Go and see."
Everyone came to the side of the forest, where a small-scale laboratory was established. In the central hall, there are rows of culture tanks. Inside, there are floating animals of different sizes, some of which are embryos, but some are close to adulthood. . In the laboratory on the side, in the culture tank are various advanced war beasts, mainly spines, and there is also a live missile larva.
Le Mans introduced: "We have a complete gene of war beasts in our hands, so while cultivating alien beasts, we are also trying to develop advanced war beasts at the same time. This will increase resource consumption a bit, but it will greatly speed it up. The progress of the experiment..."
Having said that, Le Mans looked at Chu Jungui inquiringly.
Chu Jungui nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Ruobai beside him was already shocked: "Are you secretly doing these things? Are we trying to create the animal tide ourselves?"
Le Mans said: "This is only the first step of the experiment. Our goal is not to replicate the beast tide, but to reproduce the technology of the fog race. Of course, now we have a new research goal, which is to create a certain degree of autonomy. Smart working beast."
Li Ruobai frowned and said: "Le Mans, I think you are playing with fire. What if the created things get out of control or run away? Didn't we recreate the animal tide by ourselves?"
Jun Jun returned: "It doesn't matter if there is a tide of beasts.
Li Ruobai shrugged and stopped speaking, but seeing his expression, he did not accept it.
Now there is a division of labor within the two bases, and Li Ruobai is responsible for the overall operation of the base and the development of production capacity. The wise are mainly responsible for research and daily task decomposition. The girl and Le Mans are responsible for research in one direction. The girl is mainly the machine and the main brain, while Le Mans is the research in the overall and biological direction. In the past period of time, several people had their own resources and did not interfere with each other, so Li Ruobai didn't know what Le Mans and the wise man were doing.
At this time, a culture tank was lowered from the top of the experiment, and there was a small piece of meat floating in it that was almost invisible. Then the wise man cut out a small piece of black mist and poured it into the cultivation tank from Le Mans. The black mist is like a few small fishes in the culture solution, quickly swimming up to the piece of meat and fusing with it.
The meat shook, and immediately began to grow crazily. The production speed was directly increased by dozens of times, and it began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. The cultivation tank also began to vibrate violently, and various data entered the red zone in an instant. Each micro-engine was turned on to its maximum power, continuously injecting nutrients and pumping away chaotic nutrient solutions.
But obviously, the power of this culture tank can't keep up with the growth of meat pieces.
Both the girl and Li Ruobai were worried, while Chu Jun returned to watch silently, calmly.
Soon the meat fills most of the culture tank, and this culture tank can no longer hold it. At this time, the wise man shot a ray of light on the meat, and the meat stopped growing.
Le Mans wiped the sweat from his head and explained: "This is the first stage of incubation, which has been successfully completed so far. The next step is free growth, and there should be no problems. The possibility of the entire experiment being successful. It's 98%."
Le Mans commanded several researchers to take down the cultivation tank and move it to the glade. A transport vehicle drove over and dumped a box of synthetic meat.
On the other side of the open space, the alien beasts who were eating felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously moved away from the training tank here.
The incubator opens, and the meat is squirming out of it. It couldn't see the shape, it was like a mass of semi-melted meat, squirming towards the pile of synthetic meat, then pounced hard, and fell on the pile of meat.
The flesh squirming constantly, devouring the synthetic flesh, its volume is getting bigger and bigger, and the synthetic flesh underneath is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The girl frowned and said, "It's a bit disgusting."
The wise man said: "I didn't prepare the shape for it, because it was unnecessary and would waste some resources. After all, this is just a stage that will pass soon. Of course, if you must want it, I can also give it a good-looking shape. ."
"No need." The girl looked disgusted, but she had been staring at every change of the meat while her consciousness was scanning the experimental data at high speed.
In just half an hour, nearly a hundred tons of synthetic meat was swallowed up, and the small pieces of meat were still wriggling, seeming to want to do something, but without success.
A beam of light from the wise man shone on the meat and immediately issued a series of instructions. The staff brought in gravel, metal and even two felled two-leaf trees and threw them into the meat block~EbookFREE.me~ This time the meat block swallowed much slower, but as it swallowed, it The shell gradually emerged, and gradually had a fixed shape.
One hour later, the meat became a cylinder with an oily black surface, and the surface was made up of hexagons. The inside of the meat is constantly shaking, and a few leaves suddenly grow from the center of the top, and then grow higher and higher, like the same mutated two-leaf tree.
The strange big tree soon stopped producing, and then the hexagonal shell underneath was pushed aside, and strange creatures crawled out of it. These creatures form a starfish, with five arms and legs, a bulge in the center of the body, and four eyes lined up.
The wise man fired multiple beams of light, shining on these new creatures. All their movements stopped, as if they were receiving some information. After a while, a starfish creature left the group and crawled to the transport truck nearby. It was able to open the door, climbed into the cab, and then entangled in the driver's seat.
The truck started immediately, put away the container, then backed up, turned around, drove out of the forest, and stopped precisely in the parking lot next to it.
Once the car was parked, Starfish climbed out of the cab and crawled back.
The wise man introduced: "This is a new form of work beast I designed. They have the intelligence equivalent to human beings 15 years old, can perform simple and repetitive tasks, and can manipulate most of the equipment we currently have. They can receive instructions from me. They have natural adaptability to the environment and do not need any protective equipment. They have no digestive system, so they are very easy to manufacture, and a batch can be produced in 3 hours. As for the disadvantages..."
Before the wise man had finished speaking, the starfish that had only crawled halfway suddenly stopped moving, and in a blink of an eye he lost the breath of life.
Le Mans rushed over, checked, looked weird, and said, "It... starved to death!"
The wise man stagnated and said: "The disadvantage is that it may eat a little too much."
