Qian Yi hesitated and looked at Gong Yun, and after a moment he asked as if he had made up his mind.
"Gong Yun, how long do you think our current hunting mode can last? Now we know that the mutant beasts already have a very high IQ and a sense of revenge."
"And they are mutant beasts with their own superpowers. Is there a future for this kind of hunting with one person, one gun and one cannon? Today's hunting efficiency is getting lower and lower. There are so many people on Hope Island to feed, and the advancement of science and technology is also limited. It requires a large amount of mutant beast metal skeletons as the foundation, all of which come from mutant beast corpses.”
"If we don't take new measures to change the situation at this time, humans on Hope Island will not be able to obtain sufficient supplies in the near future."
"Decades ago, we focused on genetic modification, hoping to create people as powerful as mutant beasts through genetic modification."
"But after decades of research and a lot of manpower and material resources invested, we have found nothing. We have to refocus our attention on the field of science and technology. Genetic modification is not something that can be accomplished in a short time, and we cannot put all our hopes into it. Put it on a project where you don’t even know the outcome.”
"So we focus on auxiliary equipment, such as single-person aircraft and small power-assisted equipment. But these ordinary soldiers cannot use them because each one is expensive and we cannot afford to lose it. So we need a batch of response capabilities. and highly adaptable samurai to use these equipment.”
"But the current situation is very pessimistic. Almost no one chooses the profession of warrior anymore, so we decided to cultivate an icon first."
"But this is a secret. Don't tell anyone. If you can make use of these equipment, we will announce it to the public at that time."
Gong Yun understood that the Ares Project did not treat him as a genetic modification object, but as a tester of new equipment. This made him feel more at ease. There was no turning back when it came to genetic modification. If something went wrong, he might turn into a monster, or even die directly.
Although the risk factor for testers is also very high, after all, there are still other ways to improve safety and efficiency, and Hope Island will definitely do its best to do this.
The sun gradually rose, the earth became warmer, and the thick fog began to drift away.
Qian Yi looked away from the computer screen and looked at the rising fog outside. He could already see clearly things within ten meters.
"Come on, come with me to see the crater."
"Minister, it's still dangerous to go now. The anesthetics haven't completely evaporated yet." Gong Yun was closing his eyes to rest. After hearing Qian Yi's words, he stood up and looked out the window to remind him.
"Haha..., you think those of us only know how to hide behind and point fingers, right? It's just an anesthetic and it can't kill anyone." Qian Yi said and opened the door of the plane.
Gong Yun quickly jumped down and looked around. If a mutated beast suddenly jumped out and injured the boss, he would not be able to explain it.
"How's it going? Is it safe?" Qian Yi asked with a casual smile.
"It's safe for now," Gong Yun couldn't help it. These high-ranking officials just like to pretend to be heroes and cause trouble for their subordinates. If anything happens, they have to bear their own responsibility.
But if people persist, he can't forcefully restrict their freedom of movement.
Qian Yi was in front, and Gong Yun was nervously on guard two meters behind him. Even if he did his job well, it wouldn't show up. If he made a mistake, it would be a big mistake.
"Is that over there?" Qian Yi asked, a little confused in the haze.
"Yes, it's this way." Gong Yun responded helplessly. I was very slanderous in my heart. You can't even see the direction clearly and you still have to come down?
Ten minutes later, I was standing on the edge of the giant crater. I couldn't see the situation below, but I could have a clear view of the nearby environment.
In the hazy smoke, Ma Pao and Gong Han were also extremely keen as they accompanied Sun Ye and Mi Yuesheng as they wandered around the edge of the crater. For a while, I lay down and touched the ground. For a while, I picked up a small stone and looked at it, but I didn't know what I was looking for.
"Ma Pao, Director Mi, did something fall? Why don't you ask more people to come over and look for it together?" Gong Yun knew that he was looking for evidence of the impact of the meteorite on the earth, so he asked deliberately.
Mi Yuesheng looked back with a very unhappy expression, but saw Qian Yi was there and said nothing more.
Qian Yi glanced at Gong Yun, "Director Mi has made many outstanding contributions to Hope Island. People like him should be respected."
"Yes, don't I have good intentions?" Gong Yun replied, holding back a smile. He doesn't think that studying celestial bodies these days can make much contribution to mankind. If mankind is going extinct, can we still think about roaming in space?
"Minister Qian, I just surveyed the area here. It's very strange! If the meteorite fell, there should be siltation near here. But I found that not only was there no impact uplift here, there was also no accumulation of soil from the splash and fall. This The deep pit seems to have been caused by a sudden excavation of a large amount of earth and rock, which is simply unbelievable." Mi Yuesheng stood up and explained to Qian Yi.
Qian Yi also squatted down and wiped a piece of grass. The dew on it was very clean.
"This matter is indeed very strange. I have already heard Gong Yun's detailed report. I have also investigated a lot of astronomical and geographical data in recent days, but nothing has been found. This meteorite seems to have appeared here directly out of thin air."
"So this is another weird supernatural event?" Sun Ye asked.
"It's not yet certain whether it was a supernatural event, but we really can't explain what happened. According to Qin Yao from the Cyclone Team, she confidently checked this area three days ago, and there was indeed no such thing here at that time."
"But if it fell within three days, the surrounding environment is simply unexplainable. Moreover, the activities of mutant beasts here are normal, and there are no signs of damage to the vegetation." Qian Yi turned his eyes to the center of the pit. There was already a huge meteorite shadow revealed there. Although it is not clear yet, it has been confirmed that it is a meteorite.
"Since nothing has been found, should the three leaders evacuate first and wait until the fog here completely dissipates before coming back?" Gong Han asked. After all, wandering around here has no value except the risk of getting contaminated with anesthetics.
"Let's go, let's not cause trouble for them. There is only a Cyclonus team here, and it will be troublesome if mutant beasts attack." Sun Ye also agreed.
He is responsible for the collection and processing of materials. As for supernatural events, he is not interested. How this meteorite appeared is the job of people like Mi Yuesheng.
As soon as he finished speaking, as if he was cooperating with them, Gong Yun pulled out the sword fiercely, and a blue sword light flashed past the apologetic arm. A palm-sized spider had been split into two halves and fell to the ground. on the ground.
Its blood is all green. Can you imagine how toxic it is? If you are bitten, you may die immediately.
The spider wasn't very big and didn't have much HP. After a while, it turned into a ball of green smoke and dispersed.
"It's so toxic that the blood has turned into gas?" Mi Yuesheng came over to take a closer look.
Gong Han and Ma Pao looked at Gong Yun with strange expressions. This is poisonous blood. Wouldn't it be a problem to absorb it? Or is it that his bloodthirsty ability is simply out of his control and he will stop at the sight of blood?
Gong Yun felt a stream of heat flowing into his body. In addition, the hot feeling after the mutated leopard's blood was absorbed has not completely subsided. Now that the two are combined, he feels even hotter and wants to sleep. .
