Liu Lang just nodded slightly after hearing this.
Although there is still nearly a year until the end of the world, relevant preparations, especially those involving military and security plans, cannot be made too far in advance.
After reviewing the progress of the Spark Legion, news came from the biomedical department of the Spark Consortium that a new product with key functions had finally been successfully developed.
Biopharmaceuticals and genetic engineering are the key departments that the Spark Consortium is most proud of.
The consortium has mastered the world's top biomedical talents and has many experimental bases for scientific research projects around the world.
Among them, a base located near the felon prison in Kansas, North America, has the highest level of confidentiality. It is also an advanced experimental base that the Spark Consortium attaches most importance to.
North America's social crime rate has always been among the highest in the world.
This has also resulted in a large number of prisoners and overburdened prisons.
In fact, in order to alleviate the increasing financial pressure on prisons, many officials in North America have handed over the operation rights of some prisons in their jurisdictions to private companies.
It may sound a bit magical, but this kind of thing really happens in North America.
As a giant conglomerate with global influence, the Spark Consortium has easily obtained the right to operate multiple North American prisons.
Whether it is the prison guards dispatched by local officials, the appointed warden, or the logistics support personnel responsible for the normal operation of the prison, they are all directly or indirectly controlled by the Spark Consortium.
Liu Lang naturally did not expect to make profits by running these prisons.
In his eyes, the bodies of these heinous criminals in the eyes of the public are a very valuable resource.
These felons can conduct human clinical trials for the drugs developed by the consortium's biopharmaceutical department while they are alive. They can also donate their bodies after death, making their final contribution to the advancement of human medical technology.
As for why these felons have such a high level of ideological awareness, they take the initiative to sign documents voluntarily participating in drug clinical trials and voluntarily donating their bodies.
The warden shrugged during the interview and said it was probably God's will.
After receiving the news, Liu Lang took it seriously and personally went to this biopharmaceutical laboratory near the prison for serious criminals.
A row of five felons in prison uniforms were fastened to vertical beds.
Judging from their frightened eyes and struggling bodies, they may not be so willing to participate in this medical experiment.
But the decision-making power is clearly not in the hands of these felons.
"BOSS, the clinical trial of 'pt443' agent has been conducted in three phases, and the current batch is the most stable and optimized version.
Next, we will show you the effect of this potion on site. . . "
The laboratory director, wearing a white coat and looking like an elite scientific researcher, said respectfully.
Liu Lang waved his hand, indicating that the experiment would begin immediately.
Soon, five medical staff wearing sterile operating suits came to the felon 'volunteers' holding a blue liquid injection.
Without waiting too much, the dark blue liquid medicine was quickly injected into the blood vessels of these 'volunteers' through the needle.
The five 'volunteers' struggled in fear. However, they were properly treated. Not only were their bodies tied in place and unable to move, but their mouths were also treated, preventing them from shouting or biting their tongues to commit suicide.
Just when these felon volunteers thought they would be like in science fiction movies and TV shows, after being injected with unknown drugs, their flesh and blood would swell and turn into ugly and ferocious monsters.
Or the medicine was too toxic and killed them on the spot.
However, five or ten minutes passed, and nothing alarmingly strange happened.
"According to our actual measurements, the drug 'pt443' can increase adult men's strength by at least 25% and physical stress tolerance by 35%. It can also greatly improve the host's mental ability activity, allowing them to stay in a long-term in a state of excitement
The comprehensive physical fitness can achieve a qualitative leap, and it can be regarded as the most effective product of its type in the world. . . "
Following the introduction by the laboratory director, the five felon volunteers seemed to feel the sudden influx of energy in their bodies.
They were originally bound by plastic straps, but after a fierce struggle, they tore the straps that bound them and broke free.
The medical staff immediately used sedative injections to try to make these felons unconscious and control them.
Yet sedatives don't seem to work on these felons.
“The dose of these sedatives is enough to put a 100kg adult male to sleep instantly.
But obviously, the effect of 'pt443' drug is significant.
During testing, we found that even the host's legs were penetrated by rifle bullets.
After being injected with 'pt443', they can still maintain a certain degree of mobility. . . "
The laboratory director still introduced Liu Lang in an orderly manner, and did not seem to be worried at all about the chaos on the other side of the one-way transparent glass curtain wall.
Soon, several guards armed with stun guns entered the room.
'Da da da~' A series of stun gun firing sounds rang out until the high-voltage stun gun's electricity scorched the flesh that these felons came into contact with, and even started to smoke.
Only then did these felons fall to the ground, foaming at the corners of their mouths.
"But the 'pt443' potion is not perfect.
It also has some side effects drawbacks.
While greatly improving the host's physical function, it is also addictive.
Interruption of taking it will lead to a retaliatory slump in body functions. If it is not accompanied by specialized conditioning agents, it will lead to more serious consequences.
Before these side effects are resolved, it is almost impossible to pass the review and market as a clinical drug. "
The laboratory director said with a worried look.
"After injection, how long does it take for addiction to develop?"
"Generally speaking, it takes two weeks, and 15-18 days at the latest, before addiction will develop. At that time, the drug must be injected as soon as possible."
"very good."
After hearing about this side effect, Liu Lang became even more interested.
How to better control the expanded military power of the Spark Consortium has been a thorny issue for Liu Lang recently.
Especially those international mercenaries recruited with money, veterans from war-torn areas, bounty hunters, killers, and desperadoes.
Once the end of the world comes, they will be the biggest destabilizing factor for the consortium.
The emergence of the 'pt443' potion has become a guarantee for Liu Lang to control the military power of the consortium, which can greatly improve this problem.
"The codename 'pt443' is too confusing to pronounce. Let's call it 'Loyalty Potion'!"
