At that moment, Karl suddenly walked in from outside the laboratory.
With an approving look on his face, he nodded slightly to Selina and said, "You've worked hard on this trip."
Karl was always generous with praise for his hardworking subordinates... ahem, excellent employees.
And he would meet their requirements to the greatest extent possible, both mentally and materially.
After all, "If you want a horse to run well, you must first let it eat more grass," right?
"Ah, Boss..."
When Selina saw Karl, a fanatical look burst out in her azure eyes. She immediately puffed out her petite chest and said with an extremely firm expression:
"It's not hard work, this is what I should do."
Then, just as Selina was about to report something, a figure suddenly squeezed in front of her.
Samuel Sterns, like a child expecting praise from his father, excitedly reported:
"Boss, we have successfully used the [New Super Soldier Serum - Vampire Version] on ten soldiers who passed the screening."
"We are currently conducting 24-hour monitoring of their physical condition and possible adverse reactions for a month..."
Then, Samuel Sterns pointed to several soldiers in the isolation pod who were undergoing systematic and comprehensive testing, and continued to introduce to Karl:
"The [extraordinary factors] extracted from the blood of the vampire elders have ideal effects after being fused with the [New Super Soldier Serum].
So far, none of the ten testers have experienced any adverse reactions."
"Moreover, compared to the first-generation Thunder Warriors, these ten people in the second generation have all made extremely significant improvements in terms of strength, speed, and endurance."
"According to incomplete statistics, the comprehensive comparison of various physical qualities is at least times higher for the second generation than the first generation."
"However, if the test is carried out at night, then this value will increase to 2 to 3 times, or even higher..."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, a look of interest appeared on Karl's face, and he took the data and began to read it.
Selina, who was standing beside him, was deeply shocked.
She had personally witnessed the performance of the first-generation Thunder Warriors in actual combat.
If she had to use one word to describe it, it could only be "unreasonable!"
Selina still vividly remembered the scene of "tearing devils apart with bare hands".
But who would have thought that the second-generation Thunder Warriors, who had not yet completed the test, would be 2 to 3 times stronger than the first generation? This was a bit too unscientific, wasn't it?
If the first-generation Thunder Warriors each represented the limit of what humans could achieve.
Then the second-generation Thunder Warriors had undoubtedly broken this limit and "evolved" to a level beyond humans and ordinary vampires.
In addition to this.
Selina also noticed from the relevant experimental data.
Under the powerful increase of the [New Super Soldier Serum - Vampire Version].
Almost all of the ten Thunder Warriors who were tested in the second phase had "awakened" night vision abilities.
Even in complete darkness, they still had a longer viewing distance and clearer visual effects than ordinary people in normal conditions.
They could even accurately locate the target's position at night by sensing the individual's body temperature changes.
In addition, the olfactory level of some Thunder Warriors in a certain aspect has also been greatly strengthened.
They can detect the smell of different blood types in the air several kilometers away.
This also explains why Dr. Samuel Sterns came to the conclusion that "the second-generation Thunder Warriors are more than three times stronger than the first-generation in night combat."
Now, even Selina is not fully confident that she can defeat a Vampire Thunder Warrior in a one-on-one situation.
Afterwards, Selina's gaze followed Karl's and moved down, finding those special prompts at the bottom of the report.
[Current verified characteristic 1: Some experimental subjects have shown signs of being able to accelerate the healing of their injuries and regenerate damaged body tissues by sucking blood.
When subjected to severe external blows, such as ordinary cuts, fractures, and gun wounds, they will heal quickly in a few minutes or hours depending on the severity of the damage.
However, the experimental subjects did not show bloodlust or vampire traits that feed on blood, but only regarded blood sucking as a special means of self-rescue in extreme situations.]
[Characteristic 1 experimental inference: According to data under extreme conditions, the self-healing power shown by the experimental subjects is temporarily insufficient to support the regeneration of limbs or trunks after they are lost... So the experimental subjects will still die when they suffer fatal injuries!!]
[Current verified characteristic 2: All experimental subjects exposed to direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays did not show burns, spontaneous combustion, or any negative conditions;
And when tested with silver weapons, special wooden stakes, crosses and other special objects, they did not show fear or rejection.]
[Characteristic 2 experimental inference: Since the ability source of the tested experimental subjects is scientific transformation, rather than the supernatural inheritance of vampire blood, the experimental subjects are not vampires in the true sense, and therefore do not have the corresponding weaknesses... But they also cannot create their own lower-level dependents by sucking blood.]
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a？？？
The more Selina looked, the more frightened she became.
Ah, this?
Isn't this just like her "Daywalker"?
At this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in the heart of the [Moon Goddess].
Will she and the [Wizard Society] be replaced by these specially modified Thunder Warriors in the future?
Selina immediately made up her mind in her heart.
No.
Next, I must work harder to prove to the Boss that the value of myself and the [Wizard Society] is irreplaceable.
Come on, Selina, you can do it... Ollie give!!!
Just as the vampire lady was cheering herself up in her heart, Karl glanced at the report and asked thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something:
"Can those warriors who have successfully awakened vampire traits acquire the memories of others by sucking fresh blood?"
"Uh... this aspect has not been tested yet."
Samuel Sterns' body trembled, as if he had done something wrong. He quickly recorded the content just now, and then said cautiously:
"The specific situation may require further testing and experiments before detailed conclusions can be drawn."
Karl nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, without the slightest intention of blaming the other party.
In his opinion, Samuel Sterns is simply a genius among geniuses in scientific research.
Often, he only needs to provide an idea, and the other party can implement it into a specific experimental project.
Moreover, Samuel Sterns' enthusiasm for work has reached a perverted level.
He actually directly regarded the laboratory as his home. This kind of sacred ox body... ahem, diligent and dedicated excellent employee is really an essential backbone force for enterprise development, project innovation, and business expansion...!
It is no exaggeration to say.
Without Samuel Sterns' help, the [Hyperspace Group]'s progress in the field of technological research and innovation would be at least 5 to 10 years behind the present!!
In this way, Karl would naturally not be able to expand his business to the outside world as he does now.
This shows.
How forward-looking Karl's early plan to recruit outstanding talents was!
Just as Karl was about to leave the laboratory with Selina, he heard Samuel Sterns continue to report:
"However... Boss, in the process of using gene screening technology to screen experimental subjects in the early stage, I accidentally discovered a strange phenomenon."
"That is, the older the experimental subject, the lower the probability of fusion with [extraordinary factors]."
"After the [extraordinary factors] fuse with the cells of these people, they will soon become invalid or uncontrollably lyse... Some older testers even showed serious rejection phenomena."
The latest novels are available at Liu 9 Shu Ba!
"And this peculiar phenomenon is not so obvious in those relatively young individuals, and the degree of fusion and stability have been significantly improved."
Speaking of this, Samuel Sterns paused slightly, then looked at Karl with burning eyes, "So, I suggest... to start the [Young Soldier Program] that you mentioned earlier in advance."
"Hmm?"
Karl felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
He immediately used the [Mind Chain] to check the other party's true thoughts.
After confirming that the other party simply wanted to create more powerful [Thunder Warriors], and not to do strange experiments with those teenagers, he felt relieved.
The reason why Karl was so cautious was not that he didn't trust Samuel Sterns... Uh, okay, he did have some distrust of this fanatical person.
Who told him to see from this guy's body the crazy potential of Orochimaru, who dared to do anything for experiments.
Karl was not in a hurry to reply, but turned his eyes to those second-generation warriors in the isolation pod.
He found that they did have a common similarity, that is, their ages were generally around twenty years old.
After thinking about it, he asked, "What is the failure rate?"
Samuel Sterns didn't need to use a report at all, and directly blurted out the relevant statistics, "In terms of this gene screening alone, the failure rate of the 28 people over 35 years old is 100%;
The success rate of the 49 people between 25 and 35 years old is
The success rate of the 32 people between 20 and 25 years old is !"
"It's so different?"
A rare look of surprise appeared on Karl's face.
He didn't expect that the failure rate of [extraordinary factors] fusing with adults would be so high.
Looking at the group of people over 35 years old who collectively "died" in the initial screening stage, Karl couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I only heard before that 35 years old is a hurdle that many middle-aged people can't overcome in the workplace. How did this spread to the field of scientific research?
Does [extraordinary factors] also think that their lives have no potential?
But now, Karl had to re-examine this issue.
If it is really as Samuel Sterns speculated, the younger the person, the higher the success rate of fusion with [extraordinary factors].
Then now is indeed the best time to promote the [Young Soldier Program].
In the future, with the large-scale expansion of the source of troops, not only can those individuals who can perfectly combine with [extraordinary factors] be screened out, but also the prototype of different Thunder Warrior regiments can be formed according to the different abilities they obtain.
This is definitely more beneficial than harmful to Karl's external expansion plan... Of course, it's a bit expensive!
"I will have Zemo put the relevant matters of the [Young Soldier Program] on the agenda as soon as possible."
Karl sorted out his thoughts and then said: "But before that, I hope you can use the [extraordinary factors] extracted from Alexander Corvinus and William, the ancestor of the werewolves,
Do another more detailed gene screening experiment to submit a more convincing experimental report."
In this major decision, Karl has always strived for accurate goals and rigorous data.
If the conclusions obtained next remain unchanged.
Then after the conscription plan is completed, he will officially order the start of building the initial foundation of the Thunder Warrior regiment.
"Understood!!"
Samuel Sterns patted his big head with confidence.
"Dr. Sterns, thank you for your hard work all the time."
Karl encouraged without stinginess: "I am very much looking forward to the day when you successfully create an indestructible Thunder Warrior regiment."
Just before the elevator door was about to close, Samuel Sterns' eager voice squeezed in through the crack in the door.
"Oh, by the way, Boss, my staff just reported that your office has been remodeled. I have carefully prepared a surprise for you there. I believe you will like it..."
Karl thought for a while and immediately changed his itinerary and pressed the 99th floor button.
He also wanted to see what Samuel Sterns, under the banner of remodeling the supporting facilities of the [Sky Dome Energy Shield Defense System], had secretly installed in his office after more than a month of secret remodeling?
Ding——
Soon, the elevator door opened, and Karl and Selina came to the chairman's office on the 99th floor one after another.
Although the luxurious decoration style of the room has changed, if it is only to this extent, it will not reach the level of "surprise" that can make Karl's eyes shine.
Presumably there are other special arrangements.
However, the blonde secretary who had been waiting in the office for a long time pointed to the chair that was placed in the main position of the office and was completely covered by a huge red silk, and said:
"Boss, Dr. Sterns specifically told me that this red silk must be taken off by you personally when you come back... He said this is a surprise for you!"
Karl didn't speak, but directly took a step forward, grabbed a corner of the red silk and pulled it down hard.
Shua——
Bathed in the sunlight streaming through the window, a dazzling golden throne, crafted from pure gold, was revealed before everyone.
Karl: ???
