Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"How about it?"

Lu Yongchang chuckled and said to Hope and Hansent: "Isn't it quite simple?"

Hope:? ? ?

Hansent:? ? ?

Seeing the weird looks on the two people's faces, Lu Yongchang shrugged: "It's just a joke, isn't it funny?"

Hope: "...Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, it's quite funny."

Lu Yongchang: "..."

Feeling the extremely embarrassing atmosphere, Lu Yongchang waved his hands angrily: "Forget it, let's get back to the subject. This is the task process. You should think about it carefully."

A long silence.

From Professor Lu's words, both Hope and Hansent deeply realized the danger of this mineral exploration mission.

A strange planet, a deadly atmosphere, an unfathomable and vast ocean of liquid ammonia...

"The task is very difficult and dangerous, so the task is done on a voluntary basis," Lu Yongchang added softly.

"Don't put too much pressure. If there are no candidates, the exploration ship can be unmanned."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang prepared to turn off the holographic image around him: "Tell me the answer after you think about it."

"Professor!" Hope's faint voice sounded, "If I participate, can I join the Academy of Sciences?"

Lu Yongchang suddenly stopped in his hands, turned his head, and looked at Hope in surprise: "Join the Academy of Sciences?"

After receiving a positive answer, Lu Yongchang smiled and nodded.

"sure."

“The Academy of Sciences welcomes talents of any kind to join.”

"I'm participating!" Hope's originally weak voice became extremely firm.

"Have you thought about it?" Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows and asked again, "This is likely to be a road of no return."

Hope was silent for a moment, with a hearty smile on his face.

"I believe you!"

Lu Yongchang moved slightly, and then responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry."

"I will do everything I can to keep you safe."

Hope didn't speak, but turned to look at his old teammate.

"How about you go back?"

"I remember your dream, to marry a wife, have children, and then live an ordinary life..."

"Nnd fart!" Hansent shouted loudly, interrupting Hope's words, "Just go back and continue to be a mineral prospector like this, and the labor and management must not be laughed to death!"

"I have thought about it. After finishing this job, I will go back in glory!"

Seeing the extremely excited expressions of his old teammates, Hope opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"What are you looking at? Labor and management are here to honor our ancestors, not to accompany you, an old guy!" Hansent cursed.

"……Thanks."

Hope whispered heartily.

As for Lu Yongchang, he looked at the scene in front of him silently with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing the two of them stop communicating and looking at him, the smile on his face grew stronger.

"You two, welcome to the Academy of Sciences."

…

"Professor, I have one more question."

Hope pointed to the surrounding equipment with some confusion: "Does the ice giant planet prospecting plan have anything to do with the biological laboratory?"

Lu Yongchang reached out and patted his head gently: "Hey, I was so busy introducing you to the ice giant planet that I forgot to introduce you to the human body enhancement project."

"Human enhancement project?!" Hope and Hansent said in unison with shock in their eyes.

"Not bad." Lu Yongchang opened another holographic projection again.

"Although the gravity of this ice giant planet is only 1.5g, it is not even comparable to Dawn Star."

"However, for your safety, I recommend that you complete human enhancement first."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang pulled up the comparative data before and after the human body was strengthened.

"Human body enhancement, shortly after arriving at Dawn Star, the Academy of Sciences began related research."

"Recently, this technology has completely matured, and it is estimated that it will be promoted in the All People's Federation in a while. You have taken advantage of it and can experience it first."

Looking at the extremely different data in the holographic projection, Hope's eyes showed emotion.

After all, who doesn’t want to have an incredibly strong body?

Especially when he saw that the enhanced humans could get rid of the constraints of exoskeleton armor and medical cabins and live freely on Dawn Star, he became even more excited.

But the next moment, a deep worry flashed in his eyes: "Professor, will this genetic modification..."

As "old men" from the Earth Age, Hope and Hansent have a heartfelt resistance and resistance to genetic modification technology.

Lu Yongchang was slightly startled, as if he thought of something.

He smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry."

"I won't use you as guinea pigs."

"Human experiments were carried out five years ago, and the subjects were a group of prisoners who had committed crimes against humanity."

"After five years of observation, we can basically confirm that this technology does not cause any harm to the human body."

"Of course, for safety reasons, you need to complete germ cell sampling and storage before receiving reinforcement."

After a day of deliberation, Hope and Hansent finally chose to undergo human enhancement experiments.

The reason is also very simple.

After all, they were going to explore inside the ice giant planet.

The better their physical fitness, the higher their future survival rate.

Although this improvement is better than nothing, when the time comes, driven by the desire to survive, everyone will try their best to improve themselves.

…

Three days later.

After completing various physical examinations, Hope and Hansent entered the cylindrical strengthening facility with trepidation under the gaze of everyone.

Looking at the yellowish deep-sea fluid rising from the soles of his feet and gradually covering his head, Hope took a deep breath of "air".

Feeling the cold feeling from his lungs, he slowly closed his eyes.

With a slight tingling sensation from his arm, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Prepare to inject the first dose of Magna body strengthening hormone."

Academician Mao Zhengzhi's vague voice came into his ears through the glass cover.

"Start Magna visceral omentum gene modification."

"Prepare to inject nutrient solution..."

…

"Good luck."

After finishing his work, Mao Zhengzhi smiled and said to Lu Yongchang: "I thought no one would sign up for this project."

Lv Yongchang nodded gently, with a look of emotion in his eyes.

"Pay more attention to the physical data of the two."

"Don't make any mistakes."

"No matter what the result of this operation is, they are all heroes of the Human Alliance."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded hurriedly and said seriously: "Professor, don't worry."

"I will rest in the laboratory before they wake up!"

"I guarantee that there will be no mistakes!"

Lv Yongchang silently stared at the tall body enhancement device.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and turned to walk towards the door of the laboratory.

"Report to me immediately after the enhancement is completed."

"I will go to see the ice giant exploration ship [Poseidon] again."
