95 Formless Influence (2/2)
Upon a closer look, he did indeed discover some of the points he missed before.
From what the manager had told him, these human test subjects were all death convicts. This point might be real, but it was worthy to think about the origins of these death convicts.
Although these death convicts had all lost their awareness due to the effects of being drugged, their bodies were still extremely strong and fit. They didn't seem to be dragged here from prisons.
Given how chaotic The Solar System Coalition Government was, the environment in prison was akin to that of hell. It wasn't a place that was suitable for humans to stay in. Once a convict was sent into the prison, it was already very good if he managed to survive. How could he still consume food until he was full? Those who entered prison would at least lose a layer of their skin.
The vast majority of death convicts should be emaciated, as thin as a match. Yet, these human test subjects before his eyes were all extremely fit with developed muscles while radiating a fierce and tough aura. They seemed to resemble experienced soldiers that had gone through a hundred battles or more.
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Lin's trust in the Mars Revolutionary Army's words increased by a little.
But it was just by a little.
Without seeing the true irrefutable proof, Feng Lin wouldn't compel himself to do anything. He would only bury his speculations deep in his heart.
He still felt vigilant in his heart, but it was only because he wanted to be prepared just in case.
After that, Feng Lin didn't do anything or ask any questions. He pretended that it was only because he was curious that he walked so near to observe. After that, he returned to his seat and stayed there.
As a member of the research taskforce, Feng Lin used his Id microchip to connect to the network inside the department. He then downloaded some information and understood the contents of the research topic.
He discovered that it was truly researching on how to allow ordinary humans to consume genetic potions, and this project had been ongoing for almost two years.
Their thoughts were to improve on the weakest of all low-grade genetic potions in order to allow ordinary humans to consume them, gradually strengthening their constitution. For example, potions like the Adrenaline Potions would gradually allow their bodies to adapt to the medicinal effect of genetic potions. They would then slowly increase the grade of genetic potions step by step, gradually making the bodies of ordinary humans adapt to it. In conclusion, an overall plan of consuming low-grade genetic potions to high-grade was formed, and the plan was separated into many minor steps.
Each procedure was highly targeted in their objective, allowing the mythological genes of ordinary humans to be stimulated, passively awakening them before slowly upgrading and strengthening the genes, allowing the genes to develop into primeval genes. And from there on, artificially created interstellar cultivators would exist.
But because this was a method that excessively destroyed the normal manner of cultivation, these artificial cultivators would find that their potential was greatly reduced and their life force would even be overdrafted, leading to a great reduction in their lifespan. It would be tough for them to continue evolving ever again.
But this was already enough.
Interstellar cultivators were lofty existences, just like Superman on Earth. To many people, this was something that couldn't be actively sought after even if they really wanted it. So, even if there was a reduction in their lifespans, there would undoubtedly be countless people who no longer had hope in cultivation willing to gamble on this.
But the reality was always like this: the more beautiful you imagine something was, the more different it would be when you actually did it.
The research topic's path of thinking seemed to be pretty good. There were no flaws in the theory, but in reality, the actual progress was slowed to a crawl. Even using genetic potions to allow ordinary humans to awaken the lowest-grade basic genes was also extremely difficult to achieve. Hence, it was clear that if they continued to research in this direction, they already wouldn't be far from a failure.
When Feng Lin was looking at the information of the research topic, others were paying attention to him as well.
Feng Lin radiated a sense of amicability, causing the goodwill others felt toward him to be multiplied.
Finally, one of the researchers summoned his courage and walked over. ”Feng Lin, your modification of the Adrenaline Potion is extremely successful. I wonder if you can share with me your formula for me to gain experience?”
This question was very impudent.
Where would there be people asking such direct questions about one's secrets?
But Feng Lin was thinking like this.
Isn't this a very good opportunity for me to form good relations with the people in the R&D Department?
It was just a modified formula for a high-grade Adrenaline Potion! Since Feng Lin already had the formula for the perfect-grade Adrenaline Potion, he naturally didn't care too much about the formula for the high-grade one. He might as well take it out to use it to build up good relations here.
A smile appeared on his face. His eyes had a look of complete trust and sincerity as he replied, ”Of course!”
”The Adrenaline Potion is a potion that stimulates the human body to secrete adrenaline. It can increase one's mental response speed. Hence, if you wish to modify the formula, you have to start first from the medical component's effect…” Feng Lin spoke, telling them the experience he gained from modifying the Adrenaline Potion's formula to a high-grade one. He naturally didn't mention a single word about the formula for the perfect-grade Adrenaline Potion.
But this was already enough. The researchers in the surroundings continued to move closer as they listened seriously to Feng Lin imparting his experience.
A formless feeling of amiability and warmth radiated out from Feng Lin, akin to a plague.
Everyone in the R&D department felt that Feng Lin was truly a good man, not hiding anything from them. He was willing to impart to them such valuable knowledge and experience.
Two pair of eyes in the R&D department silently watched this scene.
The eyes of Manager Frank were serene and boundlessly deep; no one could guess what he was thinking about.
As for the other pair of eyes—from the research taskforce leader Aike who was standing not far away—they were filled with a sinister look and trepidation. His expression turned ashen and he didn't speak for a long time.
All of a sudden, Feng Lin transformed from a newbie into the most popular person in the R&D department.
Such formless influence was the most critical!
