"Professor Yan, that's right? How is A Mao's physical condition?" Zuo Feng suddenly changed the topic and asked.
Recently, Zuo Feng had been busy with various matters and had no time to check on A Mao's status. Since Professor Yan was present, Zuo Feng took the opportunity to inquire about A Mao's situation.
Professor Yan pondered for a moment before replying:
"Leader, Mao Duoduo's physical condition is good, and she is gradually evolving towards a Super Individual. However, in my estimation, after A Mao completes her Super Individual evolution, her strength might not reach the level of nine horizontal bars. At most, she might stay around the peak of eight horizontal bars."
"Peak of eight horizontal bars... Why is she weaker than others who have become Super Individuals?"
Zuo Feng was slightly startled, then furrowed his brows.
Professor Yan explained:
"Leader, this is because a Super Individual is inherently the result of the fusion of multiple energies. A Mao is not a Mutant, so the energy she fuses is one less than others, which inevitably leads to her being slightly inferior in energy level. This is also inevitable."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng's eyes flickered slightly, then he nodded.
"I see. So, if she becomes a Mutant now, will she be able to make up for the missing energy and break through to the nine horizontal bar level?"
Professor Yan nodded in agreement:
"Theoretically, it's feasible. However, Mao Duoduo can be said to be the first Super Individual, and she evolved completely on her own without any catalyst. Her evolutionary path is completely different from others, which also indicates that our understanding of her evolutionary mechanism is not deep enough.
Therefore, I can't guarantee it one hundred percent, but if she can become a Mutant, it is indeed possible to further raise her evolutionary level."
Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, then immediately said, "Then give her xiao songta (little pine cone) and let her become a Mutant."
Upon hearing this, Professor Yan's face was filled with joy. Another new research topic had arrived. Mutants who consumed xiao songta (little pine cone) were much stronger than ordinary Mutants of the same level and also had an additional skill. He wondered if they would become even more powerful after becoming Super Individuals.
Professor Yan's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his tone carried a hint of barely concealed anticipation:
"Leader, this is indeed an unprecedented attempt. If A Mao, after becoming a Mutant, undergoes another Super Individual evolution, her potential might far exceed our current predictions."
He paused, then continued:
"Moreover, the unique mutation mechanism of xiao songta (little pine cone), if perfectly integrated with her evolutionary path, might even create a whole new evolutionary system, providing us with valuable data support for our subsequent research."
Zuo Feng nodded slightly, his gaze resolute, "Then arrange it as soon as possible. The sooner, the better."
Professor Yan nodded in agreement, then added:
"Leader, I heard that the 50 Super Individual slots within the base have been confirmed. Is that true?"
Zuo Feng's eyes paused slightly, and he slowly said, "That's right. What, Professor Yan also wants to become a Super Individual?"
Zuo Feng valued Professor Yan highly. If Professor Yan was interested, he wouldn't mind giving him a slot, as he had made indispensable contributions to the base's research work.
Professor Yan shook his head, a wry smile appearing on his face,
"Leader, please don't joke. I've already started researching Perfect Individuals, so how could I still have the mind to pursue the Super Individual level?"
Zuo Feng was slightly stunned, then chuckled lightly, "Then why are you asking about this?"
Professor Yan said with a serious expression:
"I'm just considering that since the 50 slots have been confirmed, the subsequent resource allocation and training plans must be more detailed.
Moreover, I plan to formulate an exclusive evolutionary assistance plan tailored to the characteristics of each Super Individual, to ensure that their potential can be maximized."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng was slightly startled, then asked, "Can Super Individuals become even stronger?"
Professor Yan nodded, his eyes gleaming with profound light:
"Leader, Super Individuals are inherently a fusion of energy. Although Perfect Individuals are still in the theoretical stage, we can still slightly adjust and optimize Super Individuals.
If we can have all 50 of these people consume xiao songta (little pine cone), and then have them start consuming grain produced by (true) grain crystal, I estimate that once they become Super Individuals, they might produce unexpected results.
As for whether they will be directly catalyzed into Super Individuals or evolve on their own in the future, we will have the answer once A Mao completes her evolution."
After listening, a flicker of thought crossed Zuo Feng's eyes. Professor Yan's plan sounded easy, but the cost was truly not low. xiao songta (little pine cone) and (true) grain crystal were both extremely precious and currently scarce resources. Every use had to be weighed against the pros and cons.
However, if it could truly achieve unexpected results, Zuo Feng could indeed invest heavily.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Resources are indeed tight, but if it can truly open up a new direction for evolution, this risk is worth taking. I'll ask Yue Jiaxue later, and if she agrees, then we'll proceed directly."
Professor Yan was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement,
"Alright, Leader, if there's nothing else, I'll return to the Laboratory."
Zuo Feng nodded, watched Professor Yan leave, and immediately called for Da Mi Tao, Da Yuanyuan, and Da Bai Tu.
Zuo Feng put his arms around Da Mi Tao and Da Bai Tu, leaning back on the sofa.
"Da Mi Tao, Da Bai Tu, Da Yuanyuan, Professor Yan just proposed a new plan for Super Individual optimization. Listen to this. It involves the use of xiao songta (little pine cone) and (true) grain crystal."
Zuo Feng slowly began, recounting Professor Yan's ideas.
Da Mi Tao's eyes flickered after hearing this. "Da Hundan, since it's feasible, I have no objections. And xiao songta (little pine cone) is temporarily sufficient. The grain produced by (true) grain crystal should indeed start to be used. The base can't rely solely on us; it's time to cultivate some strong individuals, otherwise, we'll all be too busy."
Da Bai Tu also nodded in agreement. As for Da Yuanyuan, there was even less to say. She had always been striving for the welfare of those female students. With such an opportunity, it was undoubtedly a great thing for those female students, so how could she object?
After getting the approval of the three women, Zuo Feng immediately arranged for Yue Jiaxue and Professor Yan to coordinate the specific implementation details.
With his thumb gently caressing Da Bai Tu's waist, Zuo Feng softly said:
"The detection agent for the new symbiotic zombie virus has been successfully developed. However, there is currently a lack of experimental subjects for clinical testing. I have decided to deploy it in Dream City, as the situation there is already urgent, and it's a last resort."
Upon hearing this, the three women's faces immediately lit up with surprise. Due to the existence of the new symbiotic zombie virus, they and Zuo Feng had abstained from intimacy for a long time. Now that the detection agent finally had substantial progress, it was naturally a good thing.
As for deploying an insufficiently verified agent in Dream City, the three of them did not find anything wrong with it. After all, the situation in Dream City could indeed not be delayed any longer. The deployment of this batch of agents at least gave the survivors in Dream City a ray of hope.
They could not decide other people's choices, but they could provide them with an opportunity to choose. Whether or not to be tested was entirely voluntary.
Da Bai Tu softly said:
"This matter needs to be well-planned regarding the method and timing of deployment. Dream City is too far from us, and we cannot send people directly. Moreover, that is H City's territory, and it requires Mao Wudi and the other two to execute it. It's not good for us to be directly involved."
Zuo Feng nodded, a flicker of approval in his eyes:
"My Da Bai Tu is still the most thoughtful. So, do you have a good plan?"
