Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1096 796: Research Results

"The Step Technique optimized by Zhan Zhouzhou changes so quickly that even my neural response ability can't keep up?"

Li Zheng dry-heaved for a while, uncertain in his heart.

In terms of physical strength, there shouldn't be much difference between himself and Zhan Zhouzhou, maybe even slightly stronger. Why is the performance so vastly different?

[Can driving and being a passenger feel the same?]

Old Pu's words enlightened Li Zheng.

"If I can replicate the Step Technique from Zhan Zhouzhou's practice images one-to-one, could I adapt to it?" Li Zheng thought to himself, though his talent isn't high, he has his own ways!

If one can't even trace after a mold, that's just too dumb, right?

He decided to act on his thoughts, but before that, Li Zheng informed Mirel and Mudala so they could be cautious. He was going to retreat and study Zhan Zhouzhou's new techniques.

Step Technique differs from Sword Techniques; Sword Techniques require him to analyze the force exertion method and integrate them into his proficient Spear Technique, sometimes resulting in an awkward fusion.

But Step Techniques can be copied directly without requiring much modification.

Mirel wondered, "Weren't we here to earn Twisted Magic Crystals? Why did we suddenly stop?"

Seeing Li Zheng so insistent, she couldn't say much and dutifully stayed in the capsule residence.

Mudala stood guard outside to prevent attacks from twisted creatures.

…

Central Hub.

A newly assembled device stood on the open ground before the supercomputer, a mess of circuits and pipes densely packed, connecting tens of thousands of high-quality Power Cores.

The energy inside the Power Cores was extracted and concentrated to form a beam of light hitting a piece of simulated muscle.

As the beam moved, it painted a bizarre texture image on the simulated muscle.

Halfway through drawing the texture, a high temperature suddenly emanated, completely dissolving the simulated muscle into nothingness.

A flood of data flashed across the supercomputer screen, followed by the terminal's contemplative face: "Failed again, this is already the eight hundredth and ninety-eighth experiment failure, what's the problem?"

He accessed the uploaded data from the Genetic Research Institute and examined it carefully, finding no clues for a long time.

"Without sufficient supporting data, it's nearly impossible to modify the Cultivation Technique submitted by Yan Jinjin."

"But the recent achievements at the Genetic Research Institute aren't questionable; I've replicated them, and indeed found evidence for the existence of Genetic Ability in the test subject."

"Then it can only be the discrepancy in energy or receptor and ability?"

"Let's start by correcting the energy; since it's a manifestation of Genetic Ability, perhaps it should use Genetic Force?"

Hundreds of mechanical arms extended from various corners, disassembling the equipment for modification.

"Genetic Force differs in nature from the energy in the Power Cores; the conducting medium also has some differences. Fortunately, I've researched this before for a while; modifying a machine is not difficult."

…

District 375, Genetic Research Institute.

Professor Renae recently obtained some literature and found Yan Jinjin: "Mr. Yan, the results are out. We've successfully found an ability that solely increases the upper limit of Genetic Force without any special functions and obtained a complete capability chain!"

"Really?!" Yan Jinjin was in the corner of the documentation room, struggling to read through the foreign-language written materials using a translator. Upon hearing this, he jumped up: "Quick, show me!"

Taking the literature from Professor Renae, Yan Jinjin swiftly flipped to the specific section detailing the ability, furrowing his brows after reading: "Based on your levels, the strength of this ability is only at Black Iron Level, right?"

"Yes." Renae nodded: "However, our original goal was to find such an ability to constrain Genetic Force within the Middle Dantian and prevent it from leaking."

"It's not stable enough!" Yan Jinjin pointed at the printed capability chain in the literature and said: "This ability is too weak, and its upper limit isn't high, its potential will soon be exhausted."

Based on his calculations, using this ability alone would only allow cultivation to apprentice levels at best.

Moreover, its subsequent growth potential isn't high enough.

"But this is the only ability that met the criteria out of our sixteen hundred cases; we could start a new project, first investing in the research of this ability…" Professor Renae, being a researcher, didn't want to waste any achievements; even failures can help summarize experiences.

"Hmm, we can give it a try, only through practice can true knowledge emerge. Also, the project seeking similar abilities shouldn't stop, perhaps we'll find something better!"

Yan Jinjin thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps we can optimize the approach to make the capability chain more complete!"

"I have the same idea." Professor Renae agreed with a nod.

The individual brought by Li Zheng, named Yan Jinjin, initially appeared entirely ignorant, responding with bewilderment to any inquiry.

However, in the following days, Yan Jinjin demonstrated an extraordinary learning ability, quickly memorizing almost any document read.

At first, it was rote memorization, but as the volume of literature he memorized increased and he had enough documents for comparison, he began to perfectly digest some of the professional knowledge contained within them.

At this time, when discussing projects with Professor Renae, Yan Jinjin occasionally uttered some professional terms, not inferior to some interns in the institute.

Professor Renae thought that with a little more time, Yan Jinjin might become the most knowledgeable scholar in the entire institute!

Every time she imagined this, her respect for Yan Jinjin increased, addressing him as "Mr. Yan."

After all, the other party might become a gene research superstar in the future!

And indeed, he could be considered her own student!

"By the way, Mr. Yan might want to check the subsequent documentation." Professor Renae flipped through a few pages and pointed at the material, saying: "I previously discovered that the edge of this capability chain seems unruly, but actually has a pattern. Look here, can it be transplanted here if cut out?"

"Eh?"

Yan Jinjin's Nascent Soul rapidly calculated: "Indeed! But this so-called Genetic Ability can exist in only one form within an individual's body, not allowing multiple attachments, so how can it be grafted?"

Professor Renae pondered for a moment and asked: "Why not try inter-grafting?"

"Inter-grafting?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinjin was intrigued.

So-called inter-grafting involves cultivating two individuals with the same ability, then extracting one to graft into another.

But he was only momentarily tempted; then he remembered Li Zheng.

"Absolutely not!"

Yan Jinjin replied: "This method violates ethics, even if the research succeeds, the master won't be satisfied!"

From his understanding of Li Zheng, if he dared to research inter-grafting, he might be destroyed on the spot.

Meanwhile, the terminal also received the research literature uploaded to the Genetic Research Institute's archive station by Professor Renae.

All the archive stations of the research institutes in the Outer City were connected to him, and it was through this connection that the terminal could destroy and contain results from high-risk projects the moment they emerged, preventing countless catastrophic events that could annihilate the entire Outer City from occurring.

"This topic resolves my urgent need, I've been anxious about it."

The terminal curiously checked who was responsible for the project and found Yan Jinjin's name prominently listed!
