Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 439
439 Everything Went Smoothly
“However, there’s a high chance that they’ll still focus on biological enhancement.
“The age of space navigation will eventually arrive, but the human body is still not used to the space environment.
“Thus, biological enhancement is imperative.
“A Gene Strengthening Tower is a good example.”
Wu Mo had recently achieved great things in life science research.
Now, eliminating those foreign races that were once difficult to face was no longer impossible for him.
The Gene Strengthening Tower was a brand new concept that Wu Mo had come up with.
This prototype was taken from the genetic mutation towers in the gaming world. However, the current one would not be used to create orcs, but to create superhumans.
Compared to the gene mutation towers in games, this Gene Strengthening Tower had both an advantage and disadvantage.
In terms of its advantage, it could increase a soldier’s combat effectiveness without harming him.
As for its weakness, the enhancement’s duration was limited; it would only last for 10 days.
Nonetheless, it was more than enough for battle because it could transform ordinary soldiers into top-notch Special Forces soldiers.
On a strategic level, the benefits were extremely shocking!
Wu Mo was also thinking about having it in a mobile device, like the Bridge Device[1] with installed mechanics. That way, soldiers could quickly mobilize it on the battlefield and strengthen themselves at any time.
However, Wu Mo also realized something. “Let’s not think about this first. This equipment might not be suitable for a battlefield. When the time comes, we’ll need to seek the opinions of our leaders.”
The rate of Wu Mo’s knowledge accumulation in strategy and politics was relatively slow. It was roughly between the level of a major and major general.
When it came to strategic vision, he was not as far-sighted as the old chief and the others.
Therefore, Wu Mo decided to focus more on his own cultivation.
While Wu Mo was focused on reading, Phantom Wolf’s body changed.
“An hour has passed.
“Subject’s condition is good, and progress is smooth.”
Phantom Wolf’s entire body was red, and his heart was beating fast. They were side effects of Life First.
The longevity factor contained in the potion had begun to deceive Phantom Wolf’s immune system. This was the prelude to the reactivation of his hematopoietic system.
“His heart is beating so fast.”
Just as the previous research data stated, the faster the heartbeat, the more significant the effect of the drug.
Phantom Wolf’s heartbeat was so intense that it was obvious the potion had a deep impact on him. It was likely that he was a perfect candidate for the drug.
So-called perfect candidates referred to those who were completely compatible with Life First.
Their special constitution could maximize the effects of Life First. Not only could it extend their lifespan by 30 years, but it could also make them feel young and energetic.
“This guy’s physique is extremely strong!” Wu Mo sighed.
The process of “deception” would take three days to complete, and the next twenty days would be the process of Phantom Wolf’s phoenix rebirth.
“Now, we just have to wait patiently.”
After he said that, Wu Mo started to operate the system. He started the cooling program and injected adrenaline as well as other drugs.
This operation would help maintain Phantom Wolf’s health at all times and prevent any accidents.
Once he ensured Phantom Wolf’s safety, Wu Mo sat back down. Then, he picked up the Chinese and foreign philosophy books and read them carefully.
Wu Mo was trying to learn more about ethics and philosophy in his free time.
He understood that he would inevitably encounter resistance when he launched a bigger project in the future.
At that time, high-intensity debates would be unavoidable.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Wu Mo’s goal was to understand ethics, as well as philosophy, and find the flaws in it so that he could make a breakthrough.
Wu Mo did not completely agree with the philosophy of ethics, but he was more supportive of the genetic theory of aging.
Even though there were people who disagreed with this opinion, he believed that in a few decades, the same people would probably use Life First as well.
Thus, Wu Mo spent the long night studying.
At 8.00 am, Xu Wanqing arrived to take over as promised.
The two of them quickly exchanged work-related documents, and Wu Mo returned to the dormitory to rest after a meal.
He still had to take over the night shift later.
They had to personally handle this task; they could not hand it over to others.
Wu Mo had just sat down when the internal communicator in his hand suddenly vibrated.
He checked it carefully and realized that it was a call from his old chief.
After he picked up the call, the old chief immediately explained the purpose of his call.
“Comrade Wu, how’s the progress of the Life First Project? I heard that you’ve already chosen Phantom Wolf as the first candidate for medical treatment. How is he? When will it be put into practical use?”
The old chief paid special attention to this project. The reason was simple: He urgently needed Life First too.
From Wu Mo’s conversation with the old chief, he learned that the chief had joined the army at the age of 16 and experienced hundreds of battles.
After decades, he had gotten used to being a soldier and living in the army, so he was very reluctant about retiring.
When he heard about the Life First Project, he gave his full support.
Therefore, Wu Mo gave the old chief a progress report.
“The process of making the medicine went smoothly.
“His hematopoietic system has been reactivated, and the characteristics of his youthful self are beginning to show.
“It won’t be long before his body recovers to the state of a 30-year-old man.
“As for you, Old Chief, you’ll definitely be able to recover to your 50-year-old self after you use Life First.”
The old chief was ecstatic when he heard this.
To him, Wu Mo’s Life First could not only extend his lifespan by a few decades, but it also had other more important uses.
For example, after treatment, his body could return to its youthful state.
When that happened, he could delay his retirement for decades, which would be a great benefit to the entire country.
“Alright, I’ll be looking forward to your good news,” the old chief said expectantly. Once this project is successful, the entire country will be shocked!”
His voice was filled with joy and anticipation.
The two of them discussed some other matters before they ended the call half an hour later.
In the next 28 days, everything went smoothly. Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing were not disturbed at all.
Meanwhile, Phantom Wolf’s body underwent the following changes: Following the first five days, the redness on his skin gradually subsided, his metabolism accelerated, and many of his original scars healed quickly.
Thick black hair was growing out of the part of his head that had been showing signs of hair loss.
Wu Mo had accidentally discovered a great method to treat hair loss!
On top of that, his skin, which was once loose and dark, had now become firm, smooth, and shiny.
The more obvious change was the strength of his muscles. His muscles gradually became stronger and stronger, and his explosive power was even more shocking.
The vitality of his internal organs, in particular, was also constantly recovering.
Surprisingly, the energy-filled blood had raised Phantom Wolf’s heart and lung function to the level of a world-class athlete.
At the same time, some hidden changes in his body were also taking place.
