This can suppress cyber psychosis.

When Gao Gong summoned Professor Han and handed over these three blueprints to him, Professor Han’s expression was very peculiar, full of confusion and bewilderment.

It seemed he never thought that the biological rejection issue that had troubled the old generation of hunters for so many years could be solved so quickly.

Actually, it wasn’t that easy; these were rare finds gambled from thousands of blueprints.

Even players only developed them in the later stages of the Cyber Test Field.

Primarily because the sub-class levels are hard to advance.

”If I say I developed this myself, would you believe me?”

Professor Han looked at Gao Gong as if he were a fool, as if saying, ”Do you take me for a fool?”

This is like an ordinary person suddenly developing a special drug for cancer.

Any professional would question their sanity.

”Indeed, this was not my invention; I got it from a special place,” Gao Gong said calmly.

Professor Han pondered for a moment.

”So, when you were asking those biologists for information just now, was it to verify the authenticity of these solutions?”

”You are truly clever.”

”Then where did you get these solutions?”

Gao Gong coughed lightly and said, ”When the time is right, I’ll naturally tell you.”

It seemed his identity as an ”Empire Successor” was about to be exposed.

Professor Han left, half doubtful and half excited.

He began to work with those biologists pressed into service to study the solutions and prepare materials.

If the biological rejection issue could truly be solved, it would undoubtedly resolve a long-standing concern of his.

Of course, the most crucial part was still managed by himself.

In this regard, Gao Gong only trusted Professor Han.

As for whether Professor Han would be deceived by other professionals, Gao Gong wasn’t worried.

The reason being that Professor Han was a master of bionics, possessing most of the knowledge in the professional knowledge chain of ’Bionic Technology’.

Whereas the ’Biologists’’ professional knowledge chain is called ’Biotechnology’.

’Bionic Technology’, ’Biotechnology’, and ’Reproduction Technology’ which developed the ’Bio-Fusion Armor’, these three professional knowledge chains all belong to the same Level 2 Carbon-Based Civilization.

There is a lot of interdisciplinary knowledge between them.

Gao Gong did not participate in the ’biopharmaceutical’ process; ever since taking over Master Demon Mountain’s position, the entire battlefield revolved around him, and his workload suddenly increased tenfold.

The military supplies needed to be allocated by him.

The front lines of the four oases required his adjustment.

And on the outskirts of Automobile City, signs of a beast tide appeared again.

Seeing those two A-level monsters preparing to stir up a new round of beast tide after being dormant for three or four days.

Gao Gong did not intend to replicate Demon Mountain’s large legion strategy.

In his view, that’s just too foolish.

He planned to adopt a new playstyle.

This playstyle required a large amount of sensory equipment, old generation hunters who had restored their strength, cyber hackers, a legion of biological transformers, and a large number of mechanical beast units.

He wanted to demonstrate through micro-operations that biological transformation should be played like this.

...

Three days passed in a flash

Gao Gong seemingly did nothing.

The Emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

”The beast tide has already begun its second attack on Automobile City.”

In a military fortress in the Central Desert

Xiao Tong looked very displeased.

He was the one who vigorously argued against the majority to support Gao Gong for the position on Demon Mountain.

After all, as an ’Empire Successor’, Xiao Tong was optimistic about him, believing he could perform at least better than Demon Mountain.

The fact proved otherwise, Gao Gong had managed to...

No, Gao Gong did nothing.

At first, he could still get through his phone, exchange a few polite words with you.

Now when he calls, the other side hangs up directly.

Completely ignoring him!

Xiao Huang looked relaxed, holding a bottle of artificial orange juice, he turned on the virtual experience machine to pinch the face of his evening wife.

”Is D better, or E, or why not challenge the limit and pick F?”

Xiao Tong’s forehead veins throbbed, and he directly kicked him, knocking him to the ground.

”Damn, my painstakingly crafted face!”

When Xiao Huang got up from the ground and saw that the beauty he pinched in the virtual projection had turned into a bizarre creature, he was on the verge of tears.

Xiao Huang stared angrily at Xiao Tong, and Xiao Tong, not to be outdone, coldly stared back at him.

”If the beast tide can’t be stopped, not to mention my position, even our lives, the two brothers, may not be saved. Do you really want our branch of the Xiao Family to have no descendants?”

Xiao Huang rolled his eyes.

”What era is this, talking about no descendants? Why not optimize our genes and clone an enhanced version of ourselves? My mom thinks I’m no good; your mom thinks you’re not capable. Perfect, we can all be remade.”

”With our family’s cloning technology, from infant to grown-up takes just a year, and our plus versions will be freshly available.”

Xiao Huang imagined the future, ”If our clones were gender-swapped versions, wouldn’t that be interesting? Female Xiao Huang and Female Xiao Tong, would they get along?”

Xiao Tong was choked by him, speechless at his imaginative ideas, yet more speechless because the technical conditions to realize this fantasy were all in place.

Xiao Tong and Xiao Huang looked almost identical, but Xiao Tong appeared more mature, sporting a mustache and looking quite dignified in his military uniform.

While Xiao Huang had an unruly appearance.

”Relax, relax, the person was chosen by you, now that it’s come to this, what do you have to complain about?”

”If you really can’t stand it, you can step up yourself. After all, this is your territory.”

Xiao Tong’s face twitched, ”You just can’t wait for me to die early, huh!”

A prerequisite for hosting the defense against the beast tide was that under the beheading operation of A-level radiation beasts, at least you could escape if not counterattack.

In this regard, Master Demon Mountain can do it, as for him... if he could do it, he wouldn’t be hiding in a bunker.

”Don’t worry, you must have faith in our empire descendant.”

Xiao Huang was full of confidence, ”Don’t forget, from his rise to now, it only took three months.”

”This is enough to prove how rich the imperial inheritance he obtained is.”

Xiao Tong remained silent.

Compared to the ’naive and lively’ Xiao Huang, he considered more.

In the Mechanical Era where even continuing the family line could be solved with ’cloning technology’, family blood relations were far less tight than outsiders imagined.

To gain the best family resources, they must give greater returns to the family.

Perhaps at the upper levels of the Xiao Family, sponsoring an ’empire descendant’ was due to some political considerations.

But for these younger generations, supporting an ’empire descendant’ was entirely for the ’imperial inheritance.’

He had heard more than once that some peers quietly killed the ’empire descendant’ to seize their ’inheritance.’

This is something that can’t be put on the table; if discovered by the elders, it will definitely be severely punished, possibly resulting in physical destruction and replacement with a ’gene duplicate.’

But to say that no one had done it, Xiao Tong himself didn’t believe it.

The key point is whether this ’empire descendant’ is real and how much ’inheritance’ he inherited.

Xiao Tong exhaled deeply and looked at the still carefree Xiao Huang, saying irritably, ”The authenticity of that ’empire descendant’ is not yet confirmed. The Emperor’s bloodline is the most special; it flows with the most advanced mechanical blood; we must ensure he’s real before we can trust him.”

”I’ve already reported to the family, and soon, someone will bring specialized blood testing equipment. You better pray he’s real, or I’ll really have an extra cousin!”

Xiao Huang waved his hand without looking back, ”Got it, cousin, remember to close the door for me, never tried a four-legged beauty, guess she’ll be the one!”

...

Time waits for no man; soon, the beast tide war broke out again.

Radiation beasts filled the sky, vast and boundless, and large combat robots stood like an iron dam. When the two sides collided, millions of metal splashes exploded.

In the sky above, flocks of mechanical birds raged, and occasionally a massive black shadow would flicker and vanish.

Within a few days, the originally devastated flying behemoths, ionizing radiation birds, and multi-headed King Ghidorah were fully revived.

If no one’s manipulated things from behind, one can only praise the ghostly craftsmanship of nature.

If there’s any difference from before, it’s that in the core area of Automobile City, silhouettes of bio-fusioners were supporting everywhere in the battlefield, moving so fast they formed a sound burst. Once encountering high-level beasts, they’d charge and blow them up with a few punches.

The battle line was even more solid compared to before.

Kep blasted open a rotting tank with one punch, but his expression wasn’t relieved and instead turned even worse.

The stability of the defense line came at the cost of Master Demon Mountain’s three elite units, Split Tiger Squad 2, Mad Butchers, and Shadow Team being thrown into the battlefield.

These three units were originally supposed to be the main force for hunting A-level monsters.

Now they were pointlessly consumed here.

”Even an idiot knows the greatest taboo against the beast tide is a war of attrition!” The roar of the Iron Madman echoed in his headset.

In just half a day, the intensity of the beast tide turned from red to purple once again.

”Treating us like cannon fodder, I’ll see, when we’re all dead, who will deal with the Beast King!”

Kep sighed, compared to himself, Iron Madman was more loyal to Master Demon Mountain. He had publicly stated more than once, if Master Demon Mountain had taken him back then, such a thing as being caught off guard would never have happened.

Among all the bio-fusioners, he was also recognized as the second strongest next to Demon Mountain.

Not only him, but almost all the bio-fusioners were heavily disgruntled with Gao Gong.

This dissatisfaction wasn’t necessarily out of loyalty but because of Gao Gong’s disregard for the main battlefield.

The only military order he issued was to deploy all troops and hold firm awaiting reinforcements.

Awaiting reinforcements, where would the reinforcements come from!!
