Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"very good."

Lu Yongchang nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Mao Zhengzhi beside him: "Get ready to start the experiment."

"Wait, wait!" Freeman's voice came again, "Are you...are you Professor Lu Yongchang?"

"So what?" Lu Yongchang responded in a cold tone.

"Then can you guarantee it?" Unlike before, there was a bit of pleading in Freeman's voice at this time, "Academician Mao Zhengzhi once promised me that as long as I complete the test, I will be pardoned."

Lu Yongchang looked at the holographic image in front of him again and said word by word: "Remember, you do not enjoy any human rights now."

"You are not qualified to let me deceive you specifically."

"I will think about it once the testing is complete."

In the picture, Freeman lowered his head and fell into silence.

Judging from his clenched fists, Freeman was obviously not in a calm mood.

"Start testing."

Lu Yongchang ignored it and gave the order bluntly.

"Professor..." Mao Zhengzhi turned off the microphone and looked at the holographic projection with some worry, "If you do this, will Freeman..."

"On the contrary." Lu Yongchang shook his head, "I said this, so he would cooperate with the test."

Seeing the confusion in Mao Zhengzhi's eyes, Lu Yongchang explained softly.

"Don't you see? He never believed that he could be acquitted."

"In that case, I don't need to lie to him."

"Just let's talk."

"You see, compared to just now, his desire to survive is obviously much stronger now."

Lu Yongchang shook his head with emotion: "Human, that's it."

"I didn't make any promises to him, but he would subconsciously deceive himself."

Mao Zhengzhi shuddered slightly as he looked at Freeman whose mental condition was gradually improving in the picture.

The gravity chamber began to slowly accelerate.

The equivalent gravity value in the holographic screen quickly reached 1.5g.

"Freeman, how do you feel?"

Mao Zhengzhi asked seriously.

At this time, Freeman seemed extremely submissive driven by his desire to survive.

After feeling it carefully, he frowned and said, "I don't feel anything else, just that my body is a little heavier."

"By the way, I'm a little dizzy, does that count?"

Mao Zhengzhi's mouth twitched.

He had never seen Freeman so talkative since the beginning of the experiment.

"Dizziness is normal. The motion sickness medicine is in your pocket. Just take it and you'll be fine."

…

A few hours later.

Equivalent gravity: 2.5g.

In the holographic screen, Freeman frowned, holding his knees with both hands, his body hunched and breathing heavily.

"How does it feel?"

"There is an obvious feeling of distension in the abdomen, the body is very heavy, and I can't stand up."

"Keep going."

…

Equivalent gravity: 3g.

Duration: one hour.

At this time, Freeman was already sitting on the ground of the gravity chamber.

His face was slightly pale, but the skin on his hands and feet was particularly rosy.

It was obvious that under the strong gravity, the blood flow in his body had been disrupted.

"Can you still hold on?"

Mao Zhengzhi asked softly.

"It's... not bad." Freeman said with difficulty. "It's a little difficult to breathe and my vision is a little blurry."

"Can I lie down?"

"Academician Mao?"

No response.

After struggling for a moment, Freeman lay directly on the ground.

"call……"

After distributing the pressure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Mao Zhengzhi, after observing the data sent back by the nanorobot, he turned off the microphone directly.

"Keep accelerating."

"Extreme testing."

…

The gravity chamber began to accelerate again.

3.1g.

3.2g.

Freeman in the holographic screen had a normal expression at first.

But he soon realized the problem.

Compared with just now, the acceleration of the gravity cabin is extremely rapid at this time!

But at this time, he had lost the ability to resist.

The increasingly powerful equivalent gravity pressed him firmly to the "floor".

In the picture, Freeman's face turned red and his mouth opened and closed as if he was roaring something.

…

Forty-eight hours later.

The first experiment was declared over.

In the holographic screen, the robot is cleaning the dirt in the gravity cabin.

"What was the result of the experiment?"

Lu Yongchang withdrew his gaze and calmly asked Mao Zhengzhi beside him.

"The effect is outstanding!" Mao Zhengzhi said excitedly.

"During the test, Freeman's internal organs showed some abnormalities only under the equivalent gravity of 2g."

As he spoke, he dragged the small holographic screen on the side to Lu Yongchang.

"Professor, look."

"Only when the equivalent gravity exceeds 3g, Freeman's internal organs undergo substantial deformation, but with the support of the visceral omentum, it can still work normally."

"Only when the equivalent gravity exceeded 3.5g did Freeman's internal organs suffer serious damage."

"As for the muscles, the strengthened muscles are enough to support normal life in a 2.5g gravity environment."

Speaking of this, Mao Zhengzhi became more and more excited: "Professor, the experiment was successful!"

"Enhanced humans can live normally on the surface of Dawn Star!"

"Not only that, the performance of manned starships can also be further released!"

Lv Yongchang carefully looked at the data and charts in the holographic screen, trying to find possible loopholes.

A few minutes later.

He finally smiled on his originally solemn face.

"Very good."

"The next few experimenters don't need to undergo extreme tests."

"Zero, make room for a large gravity cabin for them, and adjust the equivalent gravity to 2g."

"Let them live in it for five years."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will apply to the parliament to launch a human enhancement plan."

...

Half a year later.

Dawn Star.

City No. 1.

Human Union Academy of Sciences, Mineral Resources Management Office.

"Mr. Hope, the credit points and contribution points have been transferred. Thank you for your contribution to the construction of the Human Union."

A gentle female voice sounded in Hope's ears.

He raised his wrist and opened his watch to confirm.

The next moment, he showed an extremely bright smile on his face.

"How is it?" Hansen, who was beside him, gently bumped his shoulder, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"The early bird catches the worm. In the past six months, we have completed the exploration of the nearby area."

"The second batch of awakened guys may have to go to a farther place to prospect for minerals."

Thinking of the sullen faces of the second batch of awakened personnel, Hansen couldn't help laughing.

"Keep a low profile." Hope shook his head helplessly, "Fortunately, there is no one around now."

"Otherwise, with your arrogance, tut tut tut..."

"Tsk..." Hansen tsk unhappily.

"Have you heard about it?" He looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then moved closer to Hope and said in a low voice.

"I heard that the construction of the surface city of Dawn Star may be suspended."
