Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 497 31: Genetic Space

Within the Giant Corporation, task assignments are similar to those in the Mother City, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5, with Level 1 being the lowest and Level 5 being the highest.

The "mass event" in Biological Zone 104 was defined as Level 5.

A hundred B-level Radiation Beasts, this number is roughly equivalent to a small Mechanical Legion.

After this event, the number of people missing from Zone 104 skyrocketed from a dozen to tens of thousands.

Needless to say, those missing people all turned into the biological signals of meat-clad Water Elves.

Balance Technology places great importance on this, with numerous experts being dispatched to the scene. After all, this is an experimental site, and as it's an experiment, there's naturally a possibility of failure.

Accidents must be eliminated.

However, this has nothing to do with Gao Gong.

At this moment, he was sitting by the hospital bed, peeling an apple with his fingers. On the bed, Jin Ba looked energetic, not at all like a patient, even though all her Biological Exoskeleton parts had been removed, making her look a size smaller.

"Little G, did you see it? That move I just did!"

"I was so amazing, I can feel it, that power, I've completely mastered it. Once I install a new prosthetic, I can definitely replicate it."

"Yes, yes, eat the apple," Gao Gong placed the apple by her mouth. Jin Ba opened wide, taking a big bite, crunching and chewing, like a female beast.

"Another one."

"Okay."

Gao Gong picked up another apple, but his thoughts were already elsewhere.

During the previous battle, he forcibly unleashed Jin Ba's potential, allowing her to tear apart the Radiation Field. The original intent was actually to buy time, waiting for other members of the Throne Department to arrive.

Unexpectedly, after the Radiation Field was broken, the remaining seventy-plus B-level Radiation Beasts disappeared at the same time.

This kind of power is definitely not something Jin Ba could do.

Even he could only manage it during Fusion Transformation.

Therefore, the answer is only one, this is the power of the experimental site.

So, is the experimental site itself malfunctioning, or is this also a part of the experiment?

Gao Gong is certain that Kaibao definitely knows something.

However, unlike the forceful Mechanic, Kaibao, this Mechanical Main Brain, seems more willing to act as an observer, an assistant, rather than a ruler.

It's quite a headache, if the "Biological Computer" was still here, he would be able to analyze more. Now, it's just a case of half-guessing and half-speculating, relying on Ah Q to make efforts.

Gao Gong knew that he was being watched by countless eyes, making it very difficult to act.

Of course, the reason he exposed his identity and infiltrated under the guise of a Knight Order spy was indeed justifiable.

After feeding Jin Ba twenty apples, the oversized Barbie on the bed was finally full. She smacked her lips, her eyes rolling around playfully.

After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door. Before the two could respond, a group of muscular men burst in, each one louder than the last.

"Hahaha, Sister Jin, you're amazing, I heard you took down over a hundred Radiation Beasts by yourself!"

"Sister Jin, we came to see you, and the doctor is here too!"

"Jin Ba, when did you become so powerful? Even the combatants at headquarters probably can't fight like you. Who modified your prosthetic?"

Compared to their first meeting, these people's attitudes had completely changed. Although they were visiting Jin Ba, their words were filled with subtle flattery towards Gao Gong, as if they couldn't wait for him to play with their bodies.

Gao Gong wore a blank expression, like a robot. Well, he is a robot after all.

These people lingered for a while, and seeing that Gao Gong had no reaction, they reluctantly left, looking back with every step.

"These fools, they don't even know how to flatter someone, unlike me," Jin Ba shook her head with disdain, then looked at Gao Gong with fervor and sincerity:

"Daddy!"

"Heh," Gao Gong sneered and glanced sideways at her, thinking, when I was calling someone mom, you didn't even know where you were.

For a top-level Prosthetic Doctor like Gao Gong, whether Balance Technology had one was a certainty.

But those high-level security at the branches? Forget about it, these full-level experts are the finest corporate assets, each responsible for cutting-edge technology projects, heavily protected, nowhere within their reach.

Therefore, Gao Gong's appearance, like a firefly in the dark night, is so flashy, so outstanding.

After being promoted from Little G to Daddy, Jin Ba decisively entered the freeloading mode. Now, she was pulling Gao Gong insistently, asking him to help her choose a Biological Exoskeleton.

Because all the Biological Exoskeletons on her body had melted, they needed to be completely replaced.

And since Gao Gong was also very interested in Balance Technology's biotechnology, he gladly agreed.

Thus, early the following morning, Jin Ba dragged Gao Gong to the branch's prosthetic processing center and began selecting goods.

Unlike the slaughterhouse in imagination, the "production" of Biological Exoskeletons is more environmentally friendly, involving direct adjustments and editing at the genetic level, then accelerated growth. For custom orders like Jin Ba's, it only takes two to three hours to cultivate a brand-new Biological Exoskeleton.

Tier 2: Fine-level arm plugin, Destruction Berserk

Tier 2: Blank-level finger plugin, Combat Storm

Tier 2: Fine-level thigh plugin, Tiger Seat

Tier 2: Fine-level heart plugin, Ghost Beast

...

In this prosthetic processing center, Gao Gong saw more than fifty types of Biological Exoskeletons, the lowest being Blank and the highest being Fine. There must be higher levels, but those are mostly at the headquarters of Balance Technology.

But just seeing so many individual series of Biological Exoskeletons is enough to glimpse the foundation of this biotech company.

It's no wonder they're closely partnered with major military giants; the variety is truly vast.

Gao Gong even spotted a familiar Gorilla Arm, except in biological mode. It's said to be specially customized for the Tabor Defense System's Titan Species, an upgraded version of the Gorilla Arm, called King Kong Giant Arm, with an arm length of three meters.

Titan Species, a Level 50 super Biological Species, reportedly matched against the Decepticon Corps under General Cybertron.

Besides that, Gao Gong also saw Bio-Fusioner Armor, this semi-biological, semi-prosthetic entity moving its limbs anthropomorphically. Noticing Gao Gong's gaze, it suddenly opened its mouth wide, shooting countless sharp spikes like nails, which struck the bulletproof glass with a muffled 'bang bang bang'.

Bio-Fusion Armor... It's a specialty of the Xiao Family.

This old-fashioned family from the Civilization Era is really going downhill, even letting others learn their unique skills.

Compared to these Biological Exoskeletons, what Gao Gong was more interested in were the 'Tier 2 Architecture' units that produce exoskeletons.

One is the 'Biological Information Synthesizer', functioning like a 4D printer, capable of directly composing biological cells, and even artificially synthesizing Radiation Beasts. All primary models of Biological Exoskeletons are manufactured by it.

The second is the 'Genetic Space', which looks like a large sterile room, with silver-white walls all around. At present, a humanoid is slowly taking shape inside the 'Space'.

It was a familiar face, Matsumoto Tetsu, a previously deceased employee of Balance Technology.

Soon, Matsumoto Tetsu opened his eyes, naked and falling onto the ground, blinking in confusion. Medical personnel skillfully approached him, first wrapping the body with a towel, then administering a sedative.

The previously mysteriously disappeared deceased was so casually 'resurrected', trembling as he was carried out, muttering while walking:

"The experiment definitely went wrong. I've never seen such a powerful biological information stream. I need to report to Dr. Liang, report the work..."

"You need a good rest. With genes just replicated, your neurotransmitters are very unstable. Excessive emotional agitation can cause memory loss symptoms."

The medical personnel supported him, comforting him as they went.

Indeed, the function of this 'Genetic Space' is to resurrect people.

It's not even simple cloning; it completely recreates a living person's memory and body.

Fortunately, the range of this 'Genetic Space' is limited to Tier 1, within Level 30. Beyond Level 30, the strength of biological information can destabilize the 'Genetic Space', leading to incomplete resurrection.

Even so, this is terrifying.

Resurrection is a domain only Level 3 civilizations can touch.

In fact, it was, for a long time, considered standard for the '4th Celestial Calamity'.

However, here, even NPCs can be resurrected.

The two Tier 2 Architecture units are technological achievements of the Cyber Test Field.

The Cyber Test Field is not just one place, and the technological advancements extend far beyond this.

Gao Gong coveted the Genetic Space; this is what he truly desires.
