The moon base I built was exposed

Chapter 228 404 Research Institute
In a certain sea area, a submarine began to sink rapidly.

In an instant, it sank to a depth of more than 2000 meters.

"Turn on low-light sensing!"

On the submarine, a man in military uniform with a scar on his face stared at the monitor and said slowly.

As the detection equipment was turned on, one star-like bright spot after another appeared on the screen.

"I found the target, the number is around [-] to [-]..."

"Release plankton, prepare to trap..."

At the behest of the man with the scar, masses of tiny plankton were released.

On the screen, many bright spots also began to move with the appearance of plankton.

At the same time, a suction force appeared from below the submarine, and a large amount of seawater was sucked into it.

It wasn't until the light spots on the monitor completely disappeared that the scarred man ordered: "Close the suction hole..."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the lower deck of the submarine, and came to a place full of seawater like a swimming pool.

Several staff members in white coats were busy back and forth.

The man with the scar lowered his head and glanced around, but didn't find anything unusual about the water in the pool.

He said, "Can I see these little guys?"

"Yes, Captain!"

A white coat took off the headset and handed it to the man with the scar.

After the scarred man put on the special equipment, his eyes lit up.

In the originally dark sea water, transparent floating creatures with many tentacles appeared one after another.

"it's beautiful……"

The man with the scar had an expression of appreciation on his face, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise: "Is this the raw material for immortality?"

When the white coat heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Captain, these are just lighthouse jellyfish. Whether humans can achieve immortality through them depends on the company's follow-up research..."

The man with the scar squirmed his throat, turned his head and asked, "What will happen if I eat them?!"

The white coat showed a strange look in his eyes, and said: "Captain, they are poisonous, eating them directly will damage your stomach..."

"Understood!"

The man with the scar still took off his helmet, handed it to him in the white coat, and then turned and left.

……

404 Institute.

Chen Xiao was sitting alone in a conference room with several documents in hand.

The round table has a total of twelve chapters of chairs, and behind each chair are several camera-like objects.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and looked at his watch. He felt that the time was almost up, and slowly pressed a button on the table.

"Brush!" "Brush!" "Brush!"

As the switch was pressed, human projections appeared on the round table.

In the blink of an eye, the twelve round tables were filled with people.

"Chen Xiao, what are you doing to apply for a teleconference?!"

"Do you know that this thing is very expensive, if you can't come up with something that satisfies us..."

The meeting had just started when two people spoke impatiently.

Without saying a word, Chen Xiao pressed a switch again, and suddenly, projection files appeared in front of the others.

Everyone froze for a moment and began to read.

As time went by, the breathing in the conference room became heavier and heavier, and some people's eyes were even red.

"Chen Xiao, what you said is true?!"

"Chen Xiao, have you really figured out how to edit the genes of the lighthouse jellyfish into other organisms?!"

The reason why humans age and die is because there is a special sequence at the two ends of chromosomes called telomeres.

Due to the structure and mechanics of DNA and chromosomes, the telomeres at the ends shorten a little bit each time the DNA is replicated.

And when the telomeres are completely exhausted, human life has also reached the end.

Not wanting to die is the obsession engraved in the genes of every human being. The end of all life science research is how to make human beings live forever.

The lighthouse jellyfish, a unique immortal creature in nature, has become a frequent visitor of major biological science research institutes as soon as it is discovered.

It is a pity that over the years, people have obtained limited results, and they are still far away from the direction of eternal life, but they have also unintentionally expanded to other fields.

For example, the strengthening potion taken by the strengthener is a derivative of the Reed Group's research on the lighthouse jellyfish.

"Impossible!" A person with a research background immediately denied: "Gene editing is limited to homologous recombination. If we replace the genes in humans with lighthouse jellyfish, our gene chain will collapse!"

After the others calmed down, they also realized that they were too excited, and turned to look at Chen Xiao, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I have found another way to inherit genes, but I'm still working on it..."

"Currently, the gene of the lighthouse jellyfish and the holy light have been edited together..."

"Oh, by the way, the holy light is the product of my combination of spiders, praying mantises, worms, etc. eighteen kinds of creatures..."

Someone frowned and said, "This kind of gene editing needs to be separated from generations. Does it make sense for humans?!"

It is relatively simple to edit the genes of two organisms together, but it needs to be born with a new embryo as a container.

The more biological species, the stronger the repellency, and the more difficult it is to edit genes together.

It is already shocking that Chen Xiao can edit the genes of 18 kinds of organisms together.

What is even more unexpected is that he can even integrate the genes of the lighthouse jellyfish.

But these are not the most important. For them, how to use the means of immortality on themselves is the key.

"So, I used the parasitic method..."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Please allow me to introduce to you the name of the lighthouse jellyfish after it merged with the Holy Light..."

He pressed the switch, and suddenly, a projection appeared in front of everyone, which looked like a face hugger.

"It's called Dawn, and it's about to dawn to see the dawn of dawn..."

"It's ugly!"

"No, I think he is very beautiful!" Chen Xiao looked at the face hugger obsessively, and murmured: "This is the future of mankind, and it is also the mother of mankind..."

Seeing his perverted appearance, everyone felt uncomfortable, and someone said straight to the point: "Stop talking nonsense, this method of super frequency band communication is very expensive, just tell us your purpose!!"

The frenzy in Chen Xiao's eyes dissipated, and he regained his composure and said: "In preliminary tests, the species parasitized by Shuguang will have 30% of the genetic characteristics of the original species, and the newly born species is far stronger than the parasitic species, and can automatically absorb its genes. Good points in the segment..."

"I need more samples..."

"You also know that our 404 Institute's military strength is weak, unlike yours, which has raised so many people, so I hope you can help me capture some other experimental products..."

"what would you like?!"

"Strengthen people, from the first level to the seventh level..." Chen Xiao squinted his eyes, turned to look at one of the female administrators, and said, "Hao Mengyun, I heard that the Luwei Group has already reached the ninth level. Can you help me get an eighth-level or ninth-level experimental body?"

"Don't bullshit!"

Hao Mengyun said speechlessly: "The eighth and ninth ranks can only be used by their internal core personnel, and they are not sold outside. We are from Rizhao, what do you want me to do?!"

"Didn't you have an affair with one of their executive officers?"

"Fuck you, my mother is borrowing seeds!"

Chen Xiao suddenly felt regretful, knowing that he would not be able to obtain an eighth- and ninth-level enhancer in the short term.

He shook his head and said, "In this case, the first-level to seventh-level enhancers..."

"In addition to human samples, I also need samples of different species, samples of various types of radiation beasts, samples of mutated piranhas..."

Having said that, he paused, "If possible..."

"I want a mutant beast!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Everyone was shocked, "Now we can't deal with these mutant beasts. According to what you said, those ugly bugs can optimize genes. What if a stronger monster evolves!?"

After Chen Xiao heard someone say that the face hugger is an ugly monster, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Then don't need the mutant beast samples for now. With Shuguang's current ability, it may take tens or hundreds of years to hatch out of the mutant beasts, and I will cultivate more powerful ones." Let's talk about the dawn of..."

"You can help me, but you have to give me some of these ugly bugs..."

"That's right, there are results, and everyone should share them together..."

Looking at the greed in everyone's eyes, a bright smile appeared on Chen Xiao's face.

"Okay, that's enough!!"
