Resurrection Empire

Chapter 720 271: The Intent of the Drunken Old Man Lies Not Only in the Wine, But Also Among the Mountains and Rivers

Before setting off, Ren Zhong made another trip to the Biological Laboratory.

There was no other reason; he simply went to see Sun Miao's predicament and pick up a Fifth Level stimulant.

With preconceived notions, Ren Zhong observed Sun Miao's somewhat absent-minded state.

Ren Zhong teased, "Brother Sun, pining for love?"

Sun Miao rolled his eyes, "Get lost."

"But I feel like you're not quite yourself, you never used to be so preoccupied."

Sun Miao sighed, "I can't quite explain it. Before, my head was filled with the thought of how to create a cancerous infant with unlimited proliferation ability, then gradually raise it, using continuous observation of the child to unravel the mystery of longevity. But I never thought that Sun Ai would… sigh, not need my care. I can't think of what to do next. Sun Ai is developing well, yet I still haven't found a new approach. I know the difference between her cells and ordinary human cells, but it doesn't help much. Now I've started teaching Sun Ai some knowledge about biology and medicine, as if I can only wait for her to grow up quickly, then let her lead me to find an opportunity. Sigh…"

Ren Zhong understood.

Sun Ai made a misjudgment about human nature.

What she "heard" from Sun Miao's inner voice wasn't accurate.

Brother Sun wasn't really in love with Tang Shuying.

What he liked was the previous sense of striving with a clear goal.

Now he's trapped in a phase of life confusion.

Ren Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Sun, I think you're in a misconception."

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps some problems you find very complex have very simple underlying reasons."

Sun Miao: "Are you saying premature aging is due to excessive brain activity? That it causes excessive wear and tear on the body?"

"You know? You also think so?"

"It's just one possibility. The role of the anti-aging potion is to repair the hidden damages in the body caused by overload at the genetic level, but it's only treating the symptoms, not the cause. The birth of the Armored Soldier was also based on the same purpose: to provide a stronger logistics base for the brain. But the fusion gene in the Armored Soldier has brought about new drawbacks. Ultimately, the problem still falls on the issue of why the human brain is overactive."

"That's where the problem lies. Brother Sun, I suggest you use this as your entry point."

Ren Zhong pointed to his own head.

Sun Miao was stunned, "You want me to go back to the Mengdu Group to continue the brain implantation project?"

"That project has lost its significance; it's just a front for the Mengdu Group. But Brother Sun, you can use the knowledge you gained when you were in charge of this project to further explore the secrets of the brain. Let me also tell you something: I won't age prematurely. You've noticed it too, haven't you?"

"Yes," Sun Miao was silent for a moment, "Ren Zhong, lend me some samples again."

"What do you need?"

"Ten neurons."

"Okay."

"Huh, you agreed? You trust me so much?"

"If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

"Ju Qingmeng."

"Get lost, that's a different matter. No, actually it's kind of the same matter. Let me rephrase, if I don't trust you guys, who else can I trust?"

Sun Miao: "That sounds much better."

Ren Zhong didn't know how far Sun Miao could go in his life crisis, but he had already done everything he could to provide Sun Miao with the greatest help.

He even completely ignored ethics, offering up his own neuron cells.

In terms of completely solving the longevity mystery, Ren Zhong's effort ends here.

Next, he would move on to another task, meticulously preparing for corporate warfare.

Ren Zhong arrived at the neighboring Armored Laboratory, where Ju Qingmeng was heatedly discussing with her parents.

The three were discussing the equipment configurations in the newly reorganized Yangsheng Army.

Knowing Ren Zhong's true intentions, Ju Qingmeng wanted to give the Yangsheng Army the same treatment as the Starfire Army.

But the more experienced parents believed that since the Yangsheng Army is new, giving them the same treatment rashly might create grudge among the Starfire Army members and put pressure on the town's arms reserves, causing unnecessary resource waste for Ren Zhong.

The parents proposed slightly upgrading the Yangsheng Army's equipment for now, then setting evaluation standards through ongoing observation, gradually enhancing those who meet the criteria, allowing some to slowly catch up with the Starfire Army's level.

From an economic and political perspective, the parents' suggestion was spot on.
