Chapter 158 Chapter 0153: The secret of genetic enhancement [Please subscribe]

Let’s not talk about other aspects.

Just the physical strength shown by Iron Bull Mars is scary enough.

It even reminded Rosen of lead mutants.

The two lead mutants encountered when they attacked the Blood Wolf Regiment's base before were unable to break through even the triangular rapid-fire machine guns equipped with tungsten core armor-piercing bullets and conventional beam energy weapons.

Only the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon on the shoulder of the Abandoned Power Armor that fires 0.85KG mass bullets can threaten them.

This kind of defensive ability is already amazing, with flesh and blood fighting against armored creations.

From some angles, it can be regarded as reversing the characteristics of matter, and it has a somewhat otherworldly meaning.

Thinking of this, Rosen looked eagerly at Iron Bull Mars, who still had a dull look on his face.

He couldn't help but ask Ottok.

"Mars's defensive power is probably no less than that of lead mutants, right?"

Rosen's words made Otok smile without saying a word.

I saw him picking up the can and wine glass, taking a leisurely sip of wine before speaking.

"No, Mars' physical defense capability in the ultimate state is far better than that of lead mutants."

"He is currently in a normal state. The purpose is to save energy consumption."

"His ultimate defense record is to block a 5KG mass bullet head-on."

"Those are the specifications of electromagnetic main guns commonly found on armed vehicles."

His words made Rosen's hair stand on end, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.

My scalp also felt numb and numb like an electric shock.

Seeing that Rosen didn't answer, Otok thought it was because he didn't understand the meaning of 5KG mass bombs.

So he took the initiative to explain.

"The 5KG mass bullet can reach a launch speed of Mach [-] to Mach [-]."

"The oval-shaped projectile made of hard tungsten alloy resembles a pointed droplet."

"The muzzle velocity of many rifles' ammunition can also reach Mach two or above, but this does not mean that high Mach speeds are easy to achieve."

"In fact, every step up to Mach [-] is extremely difficult."

"The speed difference between Mach two and Mach seven is no less than a primitive man with a spear versus an elite infantryman wearing exoskeleton armor and holding advanced weapons."

"There is no doubt about the kinetic energy of a projectile of this speed."

"Its maximum range can reach more than 150 kilometers, but due to the curvature of the ground surface and the existence of various obstacles, it is actually difficult to hit such a distance."

"The power of mass bombs is mainly reflected in kinetic energy, which is a "point" kill."

"No tank equipped with an active defense system can withstand one of its shots."

"An ordinary concrete fortress would be blown open like a can if it encountered a blow of this magnitude."

"If you convert the caliber of a 5KG electromagnetic gun, it's almost equal to 130 mm."

After all, he is engaged in weapons and equipment, and Ottok is an out-and-out insider.

The explanation is clear and logical.

But he didn't know that Rosen almost took a 5KG bullet.

At that time, he was hiding in a dilapidated building near Haihua Daily Chemical Factory, eating melons and watching movies.

Unexpectedly, the life radio signal was locked by the hover tank of the Double Z force, and he was stunned by a mass bullet.

If he hadn't been successful in refining the gods, he would have chosen to cross the border and run away while being locked by the electromagnetic cannon.

I'm afraid the grass on the grave is now several feet high.

Even so, when he put on the power armor and returned to the ruins, he found that two more floors of the dilapidated building had collapsed.

If it can withstand such a blow, it is simply a human tank!

I am afraid that the notorious Death Claw would tremble when facing Mars.

"The effect of A-level gene enhancement is so terrifying?"

Rosen exclaimed.

In terms of physical strength alone, Mars is definitely better than the Marrow Condensation Realm martial artist from the Eight Desolate Realms.

But Ottok suddenly laughed.

"hey-hey…"

"Not at all."

"Because Mars is special."

"This matter is considered a secret, but since we have reached this point in our conversation with Mr. Zhang, let's just explain it clearly."

When he said this, he paused briefly before continuing.

"Gene enhancement potions were still incomplete before the war."

"It was born out of the FEV forced evolution virus."

"The proposed highest level is S level, but this is a legendary level."

"At least I haven't seen an S-class enhancer with my own eyes."

"In fact, the reliability test of genetic enhancement conducted by the Pan-Asian Alliance before the war only reached level C."

"What limits its development is the high mortality rate of subsequent intensification."

Rosen nodded. What Ottok said was a matter of common sense.

The research on genetic enhancement potions had not yet reached its peak before the war. Because of this, those high-end potions were full of uncertainty.

After the war, as a good thing that can comprehensively strengthen physical fitness and resistance, and greatly increase survivability, it was vigorously used by survivors.

Seeing Rosen listening attentively, Otok continued.

"It is precisely because of the instability of genetic medicines that starting from D level, the fatality rate reaches about 10%. There is also a 5% chance of losing autonomous consciousness and turning into a violent monster similar to a mutant."

"The fatality rate of Class C is 37.5% and the probability of loss of consciousness is 15%. In other words, the success rate is only 47.5%. As for Class B, its fatality rate is 43.7% and the loss of consciousness rate is 23%. Single-level The success rate of the injection was 33.3%."

"At level A, the fatality rate is as high as 59.7%, the loss of consciousness rate is 29%, and the single-level injection success rate is 11.3%. This is internal data from the pre-war Pan-Asia United First Biopharmaceutical Research Institute."

"The survivor's guide that was taken to Beijing 14 years ago has been unblocked and disclosed, but ordinary survivors definitely don't know about it."

When he said this, Ottok's tone was quite complacent.

Although he is not as powerful as the four major financial groups, he is by no means a small shrimp in the wasteland.

After listening to his introduction, Rosen replied with some surprise.
"The success rate of 11.3% is not too low."

"Why are there so few warriors above C level?"

The success rate of A-level is actually higher than Rosen imagined, not even a narrow escape.

But this is only the success rate of a single-stage injection.

Just when he figured it out in an instant.

Ottok let out a meaningful sneer.

he retorted, shaking his head.

"11.3% is just a single success rate."

"If you want to inject a grade A gene enhancement potion, you must first inject grade E, D, C, and B potions."

"The nature is similar to roulette, the risk increases the further you go."

"You cannot use the fatality rate of a single injection to judge the risk of an entire series of injections."

"Maybe there will be an accident in one of the injection levels."

“The overall fatality rate and loss of consciousness rate will become particularly obvious when magnified step by step.”

"Even E-level injections actually have a fatality rate of a few thousandths. This is why you must stay under observation after the injection."

At this point in the conversation, Rosen finally understood the genetic enhancement system in the wasteland.

The power gained through genetic enhancement does not come without a price.

This also made Rosen think twice before taking action.

We cannot blindly pursue high levels of genetic enhancement.

This is true even if genetic enhancement can improve martial arts qualifications.

But then again, after tempering the body with martial arts, will injecting high-level gene-enhancing medicine increase the chance of resisting the instability of the medicine?
Regarding this issue, we still need to find ways to further demonstrate and test it.

Influence is never one-way.

Since gene enhancement potions can affect martial arts qualifications.

In turn, martial arts cultivation should also affect the effect of gene-enhancing potions.

Rosen couldn't help but become particularly fascinated when he thought about it.

Seeing that the topic seemed to be drifting away, Ottok coughed a few times to bring back his thoughts. "Ahem..."

"Actually, Mars' A-level enhancement was not successful."

"He was unlucky. Although he didn't die, he lost consciousness."

"But I met him when my body was about to change."

"Then he was temporarily sealed in a large freezing chamber."

"After paying a high price, a mysterious bionic organization was entrusted to replace his heart, central nervous system, part of the brain tissue, lungs, and stomach, and finally reversed the mutation process."

"At the same time, he retained his main consciousness, but his IQ stayed at 10 years old and he lost his language ability."

“Even if you install bionic vocal cords, that won’t change it.”

"What he said was out of order and had no order."

"So in terms of physical strength alone, he is stronger than ordinary A-level warriors."

"The bionic organs in the body use four 20CM diameter nuclear fusion cores for power supply."

"These organs can simultaneously improve the body's capabilities."

"For example, the heart and lungs can improve endurance and explosive power, the stomach can enhance digestion, and the liver can detoxify and metabolize."

“The human body itself is a delicate instrument.”

As he spoke, he asked Mars to turn around and reveal the nuclear fusion core slot on his back.

No wonder it is so powerful. It turns out to be A-level genetic enhancement superimposed with some bionic technology.

Ottok did not say clearly the forces that transformed Mars.

But a word popped into Rosen's mind.

That's "Noah".

A mysterious organization with flesh and blood bionic technology as its core.

Originating before the war, it seems to be a powerful force, but it is extremely secretive and rarely interferes with the affairs of settlements.

He had no contact with Noah's people, he just made up an organizational image from Li Qi's description.

It now seems clear that the organization resembles a group of paranoid hermits.

"Is it Noah who transformed Mars?"

As soon as these words came out, Ottok was startled, as if he didn't expect Rosen to know about Noah.

After pondering for a while, he nodded quietly.

"Yes."

"Noah..."

"They're a bunch of lunatics."

"But it is also the organization with the strongest bionic technology in the world."

At this point, Ottok's words stopped abruptly.

Rosen was also very sensible and did not ask further questions.

"Hiccup~"

Ottok burped and patted his stomach.

"Let's go, Mr. Zhang."

"I will personally accompany you to Black Town."

"You can return to camp tonight with your men."

He was still as polite to Rosen as ever. How could such an attitude make people uncomfortable?

After saying that, Otok looked at Old Jim, who was smiling and pouring himself a drink.

"Old man, you drink first."

Old Jim waved his hand indifferently.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close, so they can discuss the more sensitive topics here without restraint.

Rosen was eager to go back with reinforcements as soon as possible.

A 200-person Black Town team, plus some magically modified vehicles and defensive facilities in the camp.

Facing those mercenary groups brought by the Universal Business Alliance will undoubtedly greatly increase the deterrent effect.

Then Shen Hengtu would have to think carefully if he wanted to take action again.

The greater the cost of damage, the less likely an attack is.

The principle of mutual deterrence applies to most confrontation and game scenarios.

So the three people left in a hurry and got on Otok's crawler truck to temporarily leave the neighborhood.

The car lights pierced the darkness and drove towards the Black Town camp.

The aliens and ghouls at night became even more violent. Iron Bull Mars did not get on the car but followed him in a running style.

When encountering a ghoul, the truck will simply crush it or get rid of it.

If you encounter a different species, leave it to Mars to deal with it.

Under such circumstances, the three of them arrived at Black Town without any danger.

After an emergency gathering, Rosen left there with Mars and the vast convoy two hours later.

They hid in the darkness and rushed towards the camp.

……

Shen Hengtu had already returned to the temporary residence.

He is having urgent consultations with the accompanying managers.

According to the information revealed by Golden Ear, a freight truck belonging to the Universal Business Alliance drove into the Pudong Iron and Steel Park under the control of an unknown person.

And there was a hint of warning hidden in Commissioner No. 9's words.

To the effect that the forces that had tampered with that batch of special steel were not easy to deal with.

Shen Hengtu was very young, only three years old when the Great Depression occurred.

His parents were managers of a mining company in Gan Province before the war.

Therefore, he took precautions and took both families into the nuclear-proof bunker built by the company in advance and escaped the initial catastrophe.

It was a year after the Great Depression before they returned to the surface.

With the remaining supplies in the bunker, we first found a batch of security weapons from the company headquarters, as well as many large vehicles sealed in underground garages, including a batch of engineering vehicles.

Based on this, survivors can be quickly gathered.

Then they quickly cleaned up and took control of the few mining areas and smelting plants controlled by the company.

Shen Hengtu is the third eldest son of the Shen family, with an older brother and sister above him.

He has received complete soldier training since he was a child and can fly most vehicles and aircraft.

In addition, the genetic enhancement level has also reached C level.

Personal talent is still very good.

In the past two years, he was placed in the United District of Hangzhou by his family and served as the guard captain in the Universal Business Alliance led by the Shen family.

The original intention was to train him for a few years.

Moreover, the environment and power structure in Hangzhou are relatively stable.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the rich second generation in the wasteland.

Arrogant people always find it difficult to accept slights.

Even if he didn't say it on the surface, he was still slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

Therefore, he planned to take people to Pudong Steel Company at dawn to find out!
As for this campground…

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
