Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 457 - 393 Missed it?_2

These data may not be directly used as the final standard, but they can serve as a rough reference.

The conclusion of a new species of the Bug Race has not been reached that quickly; more multi-faceted calculations and experiments are needed.

"What about the ’Guardian’ you mentioned? What did it feel like to fight with it?"

"Guardian?" Without the Beast Compendium, Bai E shook his head, "I only briefly sparred with one of them, and I can’t be sure if it exerted its full strength, but even so, it was slightly more powerful than the mecha."

"Hmm…" Helen nodded lightly, feeling it was to be expected.

There is even less information on that crimson behemoth known as the ’Guardian,’ with not a single organization having captured it. It is only known that in terms of attack and defense alone, the mecha’s physical qualities are not a match for the ’Guardian.’

"…"

The room fell silent again, as Helen focused on the "seed" being scanned by several probes. Of course… next to it was the muscle tissue for cutting and analysis.

As the red and blue light swept over, the machinery gradually stopped rotating.

"How is it?"

"No results…" Helen’s gaze swept across the screen, her eyebrows knitted tightly,

"But from the muscle chamber that secretes this substance, the ’seed’ seems to be some kind of… calculus? Extracted, and then refined, layer upon layer, it solidifies to a sufficient standard before being ejected, ensuring enough lethality. However… it can’t be dissected; we can’t truly confirm its structural composition or the explosive power during a frontal impact."

"Is that tick-like bloating oil bomb its nemesis?"

"But that kind of nuclear-reaction-like chain reaction cannot be slowed down or controlled; we must use our methods to unlock this substance." Helen’s fingertips lightly tapped the tabletop, "According to its performance in actual combat, the strength of this substance is even beyond octonary alloy, and it may provide some ideas for our development of sexdecenary alloy technology."

The need to develop new materials is urgent, as the two newly-emerged behemoths can easily penetrate humanity’s strongest existing armor. Ordinary troops might still focus on offense rather than defense, trading lives with the enemy, but the most elite forces definitely need the most cutting-edge armaments.

Humanity’s encounters with new things are always opportunities, with crises and chances coexisting.

The technology of the Bug Race is quite primitive, and the very things they use to attack humanity could one day become their own nemesis.

"…Good!"

"What’s good!"

Facing Helen’s puzzled look, Bai E stated seriously, "Academician, I think your line of thinking makes a lot of sense!"

"…" With a light hook of her lips, Helen smiled helplessly and shook her head, "If just having an idea could lead to results, we would have conquered the world by now. Alright, go busy yourself if there’s nothing else, researching these things isn’t a matter of a moment; if there’s any breakthrough progress, I will have someone notify you immediately… if you’re still interested, that is."

"Yes!"

Definitely interested!

The future of my new mecha depends on you!

’Quite studious…’

Suppressing a smile, Helen shook her head and waved a hand without looking back, "Go on then, I need some quiet time."

With the hiss of the sealing doors, Helen buried herself in her work, engrossed.

Time passed second by second into the night, and after working at the desk for a long time, Helen stretched, realizing her brain felt somewhat stiff from prolonged high-speed operation. She shook her head with a light chuckle, stood up to move her body, and by doing so, to stir up her thoughts as well.

Concentrating on one thing for a long time is not always the best choice, as it’s easy to get stuck in a mental rut, unable to find your way out. Occasionally shifting your thinking can be necessary.

With a somewhat distant look in her eyes while deep in thought, Helen finally pressed a button next to her.

Before long, her student and assistant opened the door and walked in, "Professor?"

"Bring me all the records of Bai E’s career from his last departure until now."

"Yes!"

During the rest period, entertaining oneself by looking at this young man’s path of promotion could indeed be enjoyable.

Let’s see, how a fellow who was a mere grunt not so long ago managed to secure a foothold in the barracks in such a short time, and even become the first captain selected from the elite within the elite of the Mech Pilot Camp.

While many details about Bai E might be top secret for ordinary officers, in the face of Helen’s supreme authority, there are no secrets.

The digital devil…

High-dimensional demons…

Three arrows breaking the orcs…

"Ss~"

Helen softly hissed in amazement, as if completely engrossed in the story, much like reading the biography of historic heroes.

At the ruins of the Internet server, she keenly extricated the true form of electronic demons and technically assisted the people from the information department in repairing the ancient device.

In what seemed to be an ordinary mission of rescuing and escorting refugees, encountering high-dimensional demons but relying on one’s absolutely firm will to fight back and not only succeed but also save a group of refugees, thus supplying the city with a wave of individuals with Spiritual Energy talents.

As for the achievement of deterring orcs with three arrows on the way back to the city, it seemed to be the least noteworthy of all the achievements.

"Truly impressive…"

Helen had heard about these events; after all, they were significant enough to affect the entire city’s course, yet she hadn’t imagined that the key to all these pivotal moments was this very youth.

It’s no wonder he had achieved such unprecedented merits and was immediately promoted out of the ordinary to the Mech Armored Corps, and even unprecedentedly elevated from an artificial person to a natural person’s status.

Therefore, training step by step in the Mech Armored Corps in the following days and displaying strength to become the captain was only to be expected, right?

The dense record of achievements spoke of the legendary soldier’s past, and Helen’s eyes sparkled with admiration. The plan she had previously conceived quietly resurfaced in her mind.

Even though his close-combat strength was slightly lacking, his outstanding performance in other areas made it hardly seem a shortcoming.

Wait a second…

As her delicate fingers slowly turned the page, a line of clearly written text appeared before Helen’s eyes.

[Request for injection of Gene Optimization Solution.]

[Request approved.]

[Test passed.]

[Injection successful, increase remarkable.]

"Injected?" Helen’s fingertips trembled slightly, "Already injected?"

She knew nothing about the Gene Optimization Solution.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Though the Gene Optimization Solution was a product of their Scientific Research Institute, how many people in the whole city qualified for the injections daily?

Such procedural work should not necessitate the daily attention of an academician of her standing; anyone who met the criteria could apply for and receive the injections.

And for Bai E, who had achieved such feats, getting awarded a dose of the Gene Optimization Solution was only natural.

However… however, according to her current conception, to become a seed for the "Gene Prototype Project," one needed to be an absolutely "natural" human, one who hadn’t undergone any genetic optimization.

The glimmers of hope that had just risen were once again dashed; the plan she had never revealed to anyone crumbled once more in her heart.

Helen’s gaze went blank as she sat motionless in her seat, calming her somewhat agitated emotions.

"Missed it…"

She could hear her own voice.

What a pity…

After a long time, having readjusted her mindset, Helen focused again on the tablet in her hands, the story of Bai E’s past flowing once more beneath her fingertips.

The first battle to capture the sand worms, the data of ten special squads were replaced, nearly resulting in their annihilation.

In the darkest moment, a signal emitter, covertly modified by Bai E himself, transmitted their location back to the base.

And before the reinforcements arrived, with bare fists, he smashed several waves of sand worms that attacked in unison.

With a human body, he staunchly repelled the Elite Insect Race!

"Crack!"

A soft shattering sound arose at her fingertips, the delicate glass screen showing a spiderweb of cracks spreading from the center due to the pressure of her touch.

What exactly had she missed?
