Chapter 16 Human Enhancement Agents, Oil Extraction
The battle outside Stanger didn't cause much of a stir; after all, fighting was a common occurrence in the continent.
So after daybreak, the residents of the city continued their lives as usual, without any changes.
Meanwhile, the authorities also ignored these conflicts that occurred outside the city.
After all, all the gangs in the city have to pay tribute, and they don't care who pays the tribute, as long as they prevent one gang from becoming too powerful.
They also knew that if the gangs in the city were unified, they might stop paying tribute.
So the city officials just sent someone to the site to take a look, and after being bribed, the matter was dropped.
However, the gangs inside the city knew very well that the manor outside the city belonged to a warlord, which made the manor a forbidden zone, and no gangs operated there.
However, one consequence of this situation was that many poor people began to settle nearby to escape the exploitation of gangs.
Fang Heng became interested in this situation, and soon a high-level clone was dispatched here to manage the manor and the poor people.
Ten days passed quickly, and Fang Heng had long since stopped purchasing supplies.
In fact, it is now very difficult to procure the supplies he needs. Because of the previous incident with the Lizardmen, the five major powers have started to control supplies. Many important supplies are no longer for sale, but instead, they have increased their reserves.
After implementing material control measures, some low-level areas actually saw a rapid improvement in their manufacturing capabilities.
However, this situation is limited to some important resource areas, and the actual means of production are still in the hands of the five major countries. The factories are also managed by people from the five major countries, and no power has been delegated to the locals.
Fang Heng glanced at these situations and then paid no further attention to them.
His current focus is none other than human enhancement projects.
The Federation in the Call of Duty world also conducts research on bio-genetic technology, and with the advancement of technology, human enhancement agents have long been developed.
However, the side effects of this enhancer are quite significant, and the people in the Immigration Defense Front were created because of these side effects.
Since the establishment of the Immigration Defense Front, the federal government has conducted research and eventually discovered that genes have a very strong control over humans.
While enhancing human genes, human enhancers also amplify extreme thoughts in people's minds.
In layman's terms, when genes in certain fields become dominant, it can lead to endocrine disorders, which in turn can significantly alter a person's mood.
After incorporating genetic technology from the Resident Evil universe, a comprehensive enhancement plan for the drug was proposed.
"Dr. Isaac, are you sure this experiment will be fine?"
"Commander, please rest assured, there will be absolutely no problem. Although these are all clones, with the existence of these natural human materials, the genetic data of the clone test subjects is already infinitely close to that of natural humans. As long as there are no problems after the experiments on these clones, then we can test them on real humans."
"Isaac, what kind of data can we ultimately achieve?"
"Commander, if the comprehensive enhancement agent is successful, human physical data can reach three times the previous level, and lifespan can be increased to 200 years."
"So many?"
"Yes, Commander."
Hearing Isaac's words, Fang Heng also felt a sense of anticipation.
When it comes to biological research, Dr. Isaac from Resident Evil is quite capable, so Fang Heng directly cloned him to continue his biological research.
Perhaps it was an obsession ingrained in his genes, but after Isaac appeared, he also wanted to continue researching the T-virus.
After all, those guys at Umbrella Corporation are also after immortality.
However, after seeing the human enhancement drug given to him by Fang Heng, he immediately abandoned the research on the T-virus.
However, after Fang Heng's explanation, Isaac understood the potential of the T-virus and turned to continue his related research.
Today marks the first time human trials have been conducted, and results have been achieved in just over ten days. Fang Heng couldn't help but marvel at Isaac's remarkable achievements in biological research, befitting his status as a significant figure in the world.
But just as in the pursuit of balance, Isaac's research, though progressing rapidly, always had various side effects.
It's like how, in the process of researching a cure for the T-virus, they accidentally created the G-virus instead.
So in addition to Isaac, there is another world-renowned biological scientist, Zhao Tianming.
This test was made possible through the cooperation of the two.
Inside the fully enclosed laboratory, as the enhancer was injected, the clone, which had been quietly strapped to the bed, began to tremble.
"what!"
With a piercing scream, the clone began to struggle violently.
"What happened?"
"Doctor, the patient's genes are rapidly disintegrating, while a large number of new genes are being generated. This process is extremely painful for the test subject, which is why he is struggling violently."
"How could this be? It seems that simply injecting the enhancer won't work."
At this moment, Isaac and Zhao Tianming exchanged a glance and immediately knew that the first plan had failed.
Soon, as the cries grew weaker and weaker, Subject 1 finally died.
"Doctor, the examination has been completed. The experimental subject has suffered a significant loss of nutrients, resulting in large-scale gene breakdown, with less than 10% of new genes being generated."
"Understood, proceed with Plan 2."
"yes!"
Soon, the second test subject was pushed into the laboratory. Along with the new enhancer, a large amount of nutrients and neutralizing agent were also injected simultaneously.
This time, the experiment seemed to have made good progress; the subject did not feel any pain and remained peacefully asleep.
"Doctor, the rate of gene disintegration in the experimental subject has slowed down and is now almost in line with the rate of new gene generation. However, the rate of disintegration is gradually accelerating. According to calculations, it may not last until all genes are regenerated."
"Increase the injection of neutralizing agents to slow down the rate of gene breakdown."
"Yes, increase the amount of neutralizing agent injected."
As the neutralizing agent was rapidly injected, the previously calm test subject's face revealed a look of pain.
"Ah~ uh!"
With a loud scream, the test subject's body suddenly exploded, and the experiment failed once again.
"Experimental plan 2 failed, proceed with plan 3."
"yes!"
The third experiment began as the third subject was brought in.
......
In this way, a total of ten human experiments were conducted, and three enhancement programs were finally determined from the ten plans.
These three schemes each have different enhancement methods.
Option four, at the cost of diminished effects, achieved enhancement. After enhancement, untrained humans experienced a doubling of physical fitness and an increased lifespan of up to 130 years.
Although this method has a relatively low effectiveness, it has the advantage of allowing for direct injection of enhancers, followed by simply eating more to complete the enhancement.
Option 7, on the other hand, requires the combined use of nutrients, neutralizers, and fortifiers, and requires the assistance of specialized equipment to complete the fortification process.
This kind of enhancement can achieve the final enhancement effect, but it is quite expensive. Fang Heng plans to use it as a reward for his core members.
The ninth option is a scheme specifically designed for clones.
The cloning technology that Fang Heng currently possesses is highly dependent on the original sample. Whatever the original sample looks like, even with gene fine-tuning, it cannot significantly enhance physical attributes.
However, by adding enhancers during the breeding stage, enhanced clones can be obtained directly.
These clones possess physical attributes that are twice that of humans, and their natural lifespan has increased from the original 70 years to 150 years.
Furthermore, during the experiments, they discovered a remarkable phenomenon: after using the enhancer, the genes of these clones would gradually improve in the direction of natural humans after a period of time.
Fang Heng was also very pleased to see this.
After all, clones are created very quickly due to cloning, but they also have many inherent flaws.
Now that I can become a natural person, I can arrange more things.
However, Fang Heng still needs to observe his loyalty to avoid shooting himself in the foot in the end.
Therefore, the brains of these clones are all implanted with the latest biochips, which can monitor the brainwaves of the clones in real time.
After the first experiment, Fang Heng left, but before leaving, he assigned a new task: to form a combat team of enhanced clones in order to obtain more sample data.
As for strengthening himself, Fang Heng felt there was no rush; he could wait until the technology was more mature before strengthening himself.
Five days later, in one area of the underground base, the massive drilling equipment was ready to be started at any time.
Fang Heng also stood on the high platform in the distance, looking at the staff who were preparing below.
"Zhou Yang, how's the output from this drill?"
"Commander, according to the design standards, this drilling rig can produce about 1 ton per day. After all, for the sake of secrecy, we can only build such a small-scale facility underground."
"A daily output of 1 ton is enough to meet the demand for now. After all, the chemical plant is not yet completed. It's better to have a smaller output, at least we don't have to worry about storage."
By the way, do you know how much reserve this oil field has?
"According to the latest calculation data, the oil field under our feet has reserves of about 30 billion tons. It's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. It's enough for us to extract for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng nodded. After discovering the oil field, he had also looked it up online. The reserves of 3 billion tons were equivalent to half of the Daqing Oilfield. In terms of value alone, one ton of crude oil is worth about 5,000 RMB internationally. 3 billion tons... Fang Heng's mind was a bit confused, and he couldn't calculate it, but it was definitely a lot of money.
No wonder those guys in the Middle East are so rich. They say they're richest in the world if they have a cloth over their head. If there were more oil fields like that, it would be hard not to get rich.
Thinking about this, he also looked forward to the next oil extraction.
