"Parasitic implantation is closely related to the Zerg sequence."
"For example, we have a corresponding parasitic implant for the 'Corrosive Blade'. After injecting the implant into a biological entity, it rapidly invades and transforms the host, perfectly manifesting the advantages of the sequence within the injected body."
Ella snapped her fingers, and the conference room began to unfold in a fan-like manner, revealing a laboratory in front of Yan Xia.
The researchers inside called a human to the experimental platform and asked him to lie down.
"He's one of our soldiers, and he volunteered to receive the parasitic implantation," Ella explained.
There is a difference between test subjects that are lab-grown sterile specimens and those that grow naturally.
The technology of parasitic implantation is mature, and this soldier doesn't seem to be undergoing a human experiment. He looks excited.
After all, as an emerging technology, its success rate has not been fully controlled. This time, the success rate of the transformation is over ten million energy coins, which is equivalent to someone in the 21st century using several billion to transform you into an esper for free, without any risk or side effects, and even extending your lifespan by several times. At least, if Yan Xia were to undergo this, he would be unable to close his mouth.
"Let's begin," Ella ordered.
The experiment was not complicated, similar to many genetic modifications. It involved base-level genetic manipulation, so there was no need to worry about moving around a bunch of organs.
A researcher picked up a syringe and injected the liquid into the soldier.
Almost instantly, the soldier's entire body turned bright red, and his body fluids evaporated due to the high temperature. He visibly became thinner, and his back started to bulge outward as if something was growing out of his shoulder blades.
It wasn't just his back; other parts of his body were also affected.
His body grew taller, from the original 2.17 meters to 6.47 meters. His originally soft skin became hard, with a thick layer of keratin, turning a deep gray color like elephant skin.
His flesh and blood were tearing, and his bones began to grow outward, protruding from his body. They covered some vital areas, forming bone armor. The sides of his forearms turned into sharp bone blades.
At this moment, the bulge on his back finally broke through the flesh, accompanied by fresh blood. It was a pair of fleshy wings, attached to four tentacles.
These four tentacles began to swell, gradually transforming into another version of himself.
Soon, there were five individuals in the laboratory.
"What's this?" Yan Xia was surprised to see the individuals that looked exactly like the soldier.
"This sequence is called 'Colony Clone'. Not only can it split into five, but once the tentacles grow, it can continue to clone itself. The number of clones it can control depends on the level of the host's psychic power."
"This sequence, when applied to the Zerg, can rank in the top 10. The original body of 'Colony Clone' can create 500 clones, and the cloning speed is very fast. Under sufficient energy conditions, a new clone can be created every 5 minutes."
"Each clone can not only function as a clone but also, after the death of the original body, the consciousness can completely transfer to another clone. After all, they are all part of a whole, but this wholeness is not connected by flesh but by psychic power."
"'Colony Clone' also provides us with a new biological technology—perfectly transferring the consciousness of one life form to another without the question of identity."
This is an entirely new technology, but it does not yet support transferring consciousness to machines.
The transformation of 'Colony Clone' was complete, and most of his appearance still resembled a human.
It gave the soldier a brand-new body, but the strength of this body was not particularly strong; it was just average. The three major attributes were around 35 tons, as it was still a flesh-and-blood body.
The purpose of the parasitic implantation was not to make the flesh surpass machines but to enhance the strength of the flesh while controlling the mech.
If the combat power of the original human body is 1, wearing a mech can increase it to 100, a hundredfold increase.
Now, the combat power of the parasitic implantation is 10, and wearing a mech can increase it to 1000, a tenfold increase.
This is just an analogy. In reality, for top-tier sequences like 'Colony Clone', the increase is not tenfold but fifty to a hundredfold.
'Colony Clone' can already fight with other life forms wearing mechs. When 'Colony Clone' wears a mech, it can fully demonstrate the power shown in the 'Corrosive Blade' demonstration Ella gave to Yan Xia earlier. Under special conditions, it can even crush a spaceship.
Yan Xia watched as the soldier began to struggle to control his clones.
"Give up. We will specifically guide you in psychic power cultivation later," said one of the researchers.
The soldier nodded and stopped forcing himself.
The researchers took notes and then spoke again, "Try to release control over the clones."
The Federation's soldiers have some training in psychic power, so although they can't control clones, they can initially control their consciousness. The soldier quickly achieved this.
His four clones turned into a pool of blood and bones the moment he released control.
"Then activate the quark robot. We have already added the relevant programming to the quark robot inside you."
The soldier followed the instructions.
Yan Xia was so shocked that he stood up.
The soldier's body was shrinking, gradually returning to a human form.
"This is the difference between implantation and ordinary genetic modification. Implantation can hide the sequence's genetic expression, and the quark robot can seal the implant's genes."
"Ordinary genetic modification has already caused irreversible damage to the genes, and the original form cannot be restored."
Implantation adds sequence genes to the original genes, like building a house on a foundation.
Ordinary genetic modification, on the other hand, directly damages the original foundation and creates a new one to build a house.
These two technologies are completely different.
"What do you think, Yan Xia? Are you tempted?" Ella looked at Yan Xia with a smile, her eyes curving into a crescent shape.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. The implantation could be said to be the ultimate solution, eliminating even the last side effect of genetic modification.
But Yan Xia still shook his head.
"No rush."
"The era of flesh and blood flying everywhere has not yet arrived."
"Since you have laid such a solid foundation, I should also develop some good technologies to truly secure my position."
Yan Xia already had some ideas for his future research direction.
He is a biologist, and his previous work on repairing the battleship was just for rest. Now, he is returning to his true calling.
Of course, this revelation is not over yet. This is just progress in biology; the Federal Union has many more technological innovations, big and small, all contributing to the Federal Union's development.
The Civilized Federal Union is accumulating a powerful force, ready to make a significant impact.
