Chapter 1230: Chapter 565: Ding Huaiyi and Yuan Shijie
"Bang!"
Guangfu, Cangqiong Mountain.
Inside the military base, Ding Huaiyi and Yuan Shijie, along with others, gathered in the laboratory.
A group of people in white coats were busy nonstop. In various rooms of the lab, mutants, superpower users, and mutated creatures were locked up.
These test subjects were all connected with various tubes, and some even had parts of their skin stripped away.
Yuan Shijie and Ding Huaiyi stood in front of a laboratory with a white-haired girl inside.
She was also connected with many tubes, her brows tightly furrowed as she closed her eyes, as if in a nightmare.
The girl’s skin was fair, her features were highly attractive, and she had a good figure.
Outside the reinforced glass, Yuan Shijie asked, "Dr. An, how is the progress of experiment number 932?"
Beside him was an old man in a white coat, already bald and wearing glasses. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "We have some leads. We have acquired a part of her genes and are currently undergoing their editing and recombination."
"These beast-mutation type superpower users are not common, but they are not rare either. However, she is indeed rare as a near-perfect type of multi-type beast mutation superpower user."
"I just want to know if we can discover the secrets of gene recombination from her," Yuan Shijie said solemnly.
Dr. An quickly replied, "It is hopeful. As you know, if it were before the Great Flood, with complete experimental equipment, researching gene recombination wouldn’t be difficult."
"But now, with the rudimentary experimental conditions, research on the genetic level often requires high-precision instruments. We can only use superpowers to make up for this shortcoming, so the research progress is naturally slower."
Yuan Shijie also knew that scientific research couldn’t be rushed, but he truly couldn’t wait any longer.
He had been stuck at 100 points for quite some time.
Watching his subordinates constantly improving, step by step getting closer to him, how could he not be anxious?
However, after reaching 100 points in the main attribute, it involves the middle tier derivation ability of the genetic map.
The most important part is gene recombination.
Recombining one’s own genes in accordance with the genetic map to obtain higher capabilities and stronger power from the genetic map of living organisms.
Only in this way can one break through the 100-point limit and continue evolving.
But this gene recombination is not simple.
The human body contains countless genes, and trying to combine them in a way required by the genetic map, is extremely difficult.
During this process, if the genes being combined are similar, then even if recombination goes wrong, it doesn’t matter and might even develop special abilities.
But if by accident mismatched with hybrid genes during recombination, it would immediately cause very serious backlash issues.
In severe cases, it could lead to genetic chaos, genetic collapse, and even the risk of death!
To find a safe path for gene recombination, Yuan Shijie adopted live experiments using technology to perform external recombination of genes.
Once the recombination method derived from the experiment is determined to be harmless, he would cultivate himself according to this method.
During the gene recombination process, the more hybrid genes there are, the higher the risk of issues arising.
So far in Guangfu, no one has been able to break through the main attribute limit of 100 points.
Gene recombination is simply too difficult!
Yuan Shijie sighed and said, "The experiment to eliminate hybrid genes also needs to accelerate, we must attack from both fronts to tackle the challenges of gene recombination sooner."
Dr. An quickly nodded, "Rest assured, we are continuously following up."
While the two were speaking, a soldier quickly approached them, looking anxiously at Ding Huaiyi next to Yuan Shijie.
Noticing the soldier’s expression, Ding Huaiyi slightly frowned and glanced at Yuan Shijie, who was still discussing with Dr. An.
He didn’t rashly interrupt them but instead went to the soldier and asked, "What’s the matter?"
The soldier quickly whispered, "News from Yangshan, Master of Yang Mountain, Liang Yuan has returned."
Ding Huaiyi’s eyebrows instantly raised in surprise, "He’s still alive?"
Having experienced the horrors of the shadow world, Ding Huaiyi knew well its terrors.
After escaping from the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, he discussed with military personnel.
Everyone agreed that developing the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth had little value.
Because it’s always dark there, with no plants, and under the influence of dark attribute energy, other attribute energies are difficult to function.
Moreover, there’s a mutated creature, a black dragon with a main attribute of 100 points, guarding the place, making it too dangerous.
Investing too much manpower and resources to conquer that floating island would likely yield very low returns.
Thus, after Ding Huaiyi returned, the military ceased sending personnel to that location.
At this time, Li Qinghua from Yangshan happened to come seeking assistance, so Ding Huaiyi and Yuan Shijie shifted their attention to the spatial floating island behind Li Qinghua.
Ding Huaiyi always thought Liang Yuan hadn’t returned because he perished on the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth.
Therefore, under his direction, Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen from Yangshan continuously probed Yangshan, waiting for the right opportunity to seize control of Yangshan and the Mirage Snake Space.
To his surprise, Liang Yuan actually returned at this time.
Ding Huaiyi frowned slightly, recalling the strength Liang Yuan displayed outside the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, feeling a bit apprehensive.
However, he then shook his head and couldn’t help but laugh.
"It’s been over a month and a half. My main attribute has already reached 98 points long ago, why should I fear him?"
"Perhaps he has been trapped in the Shadow World all this time and barely escaped. I’m afraid his power remains at the previous level."
Ding Huaiyi thought of this, and his mind settled. At the same time, he realized that Liang Yuan’s return would likely unsettle the Yangshan people.
It seems that to seize Yangshan, he must first deal with Liang Yuan.
His thoughts briefly shifted to the Three Great Sects.
Perhaps he could make use of the Three Great Sects for leverage.
Before his thoughts could continue, the visitor resumed, "Commander Ding, Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen have reported that after Liang Yuan’s return, the people of Yangshan have developed a strong resistance to our probing."
"Just recently, they even captured one of us and openly humiliated him, completely disregarding our people."
"Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen are worried about changes in Yangshan and request support."
Upon hearing this, Ding Huaiyi’s face immediately changed.
He had just been speculating that Liang Yuan’s return to Yangshan might unsettle the Yangshan people’s minds.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yuan turned out to be so aggressive, directly confronting his subordinates upon his return.
Is he truly fearless of the military?
Thinking of this, Ding Huaiyi immediately asked in a deep voice, "Did they investigate Liang Yuan’s current Main Attribute level?"
"No, Liang Yuan showed himself once and hasn’t appeared again."
"Throughout, it was the King of Space and the King of Ice of Yangshan who took action."
Ding Huaiyi raised an eyebrow and sneered, clearly disdainful of these two nicknames.
His eyes gleamed, and he said, "Wait here."
He quickly turned and walked over to Yuan Shijie, whispering a few words in his ear.
Yuan Shijie immediately frowned. After talking to Dr. An for a couple of moments, he swiftly led Ding Huaiyi and others out of the laboratory.
Dr. An watched Yuan Shijie and the others leave, a hint of confusion in his expression.
Then he shook his head, turned around, and looked at the white-haired girl in the laboratory, his eyes showing a gleam of brilliance.
"Just a little more. Once her genome is decoded, the correct sequence of gene recombination should be found."
...
Meanwhile, Ding Huaiyi followed Yuan Shijie swiftly to the conference room.
At this moment, the important figures of the military Hawk Faction were all present.
Yuan Shijie’s face was stern as he said, "Gentlemen, we have received news from Yangshan that Liang Yuan, the Master of Yang Mountain, has returned."
"We need to change our Yangshan annexation plan accordingly."
"The previous strategy of boiling frogs slowly in hot water won’t work anymore; we might have to act directly."
"Huaiyi, talk about the situation reported by Zhang Dazhi and the others."
As Yuan Shijie’s words fell, Ding Huaiyi quickly stood up, saying, "After Liang Yuan’s return, the attitude of the Yangshan people towards our probing changed dramatically."
"Previously, under the leadership of Li Qinghua and Zhao Kai, Yangshan’s armed forces mainly tolerated our probing behavior."
"However, Liang Yuan’s return made them immediately very assertive, even for the first time capturing one of our people."
These words immediately incited anger among the military Hawk Faction personnel in the room.
"What! Have the Yangshan people eaten bear hearts and leopard guts? How dare they touch our military personnel?"
"Damn it, this bunch of trash dares to touch our people? Commander, I suggest we immediately deploy troops to suppress Yangshan militarily and demand an explanation from them!"
"Damn, what explanation is needed? Directly attack Yangshan, capture Liang and publicly execute him. Let’s see who dares to resist!"
"I always said the previous plan was too cumbersome. Directly capture that Li Qinghua, and now that Spatial Floating Island belongs to us, why have so many troublesome matters?"
In the conference room, various rough military officers started cursing.
Unable to contain himself, Ding Huaiyi shouted, "Enough, we don’t even know Liang’s current power, can’t act rashly."
"Commander, I suggest diplomacy before war. Let’s take troops over there, overwhelm them with our forces, and then force them to surrender."
"Make excessive demands and see if they agree. If they do, it shows they fear us and won’t dare to start a war, allowing us to investigate Liang Yuan’s power."
"At that time, directly send troops to capture Li Qinghua and acquire the Spatial Floating Island."
"If they remain firm and Liang Yuan’s power exceeds our expectations, we’ll have to strategize further."
Yuan Shijie nodded slightly, "Huaiyi’s words are seasoned wisdom; what does everyone think?"
After intense discussion, some concurred with Ding Huaiyi’s proposal.
Some felt it too troublesome and believed they should directly strike, eliminate Liang Yuan, capture Li Qinghua, and refine the Spatial Floating Island to obtain Yangshan’s resources.
Ultimately, the minority yielded to the majority, following Ding Huaiyi’s proposal.
In the end, Yuan Shijie looked at Ding Huaiyi and said, "Huaiyi, your plan is accepted; this matter is entrusted to you."
"Take people to Yangshan immediately. Remember, make it a large-scale event; it’s best to win without fighting."
Ding Huaiyi smiled and promptly saluted, "Yes, Commander!"
Ding Huaiyi on the spot selected a few battalion-level figures and shouted, "Zhang Mingyu, Huang Zixiang, Liu Jian Country, you three immediately prepare your battalions to move out in half an hour."
"Yes, Commander!"
