Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 535 Umbrella Biopharmaceuticals

In the underground experimental base in the Sahara Desert, Dr. Nokanla looked at the eight orc gene warriors who were imprisoned in cages in front of him and became listless due to injection of large doses of sedatives, as if he had found a treasure.

"Tsk tsk, Boss really gave me a surprise..."

Dr. Nokanla walked around the eight cages, then waved his hand and told his assistant, "Go down and get ready. I need to extract genetic samples for testing!"

"Yes, doctor."

The reason why he was so excited was mainly because the genetic samples they had obtained from the big-headed monster that could use electromagnetic force showed that there were genetic fragments of unknown animals in its genes, which meant that it was very likely that it was able to control electromagnetic force because it had the ability by integrating certain genes.

Because the fragments obtained were scarce, not enough for them to determine what kind of animal it belonged to based on those fragments, their research on the big-headed monster was somewhat stagnant for a while. Although according to their judgment, through the changes in the appearance of the big-headed monster, they believed that it was very likely that the electric eel gene was fused in its body.

However, experiments have shown that the electric eel gene alone cannot be fused with the Pandora virus. The Pandora virus will devour it completely without leaving even a trace. The final result is naturally failure. The computer's power generation capacity cannot be retained at all, let alone electromagnetic force.

At first, they were not sure whether there was a problem with the fusion method or whether it was not the electric eel's genes at all. Therefore, they chose several animal genes that were famous for their strong electromagnetic force, such as tardigrades, electric rays, Amazon electric snakes, elephant nose fish, electric crabs, electric crocodiles, stargazers, electric catfish, etc., but the final results were not ideal. No matter which animal it was, their genes could not be fused with the Pandora virus at all. They would be swallowed up without leaving any residue, and their characteristics would not be retained.

After a series of experiments, they wondered whether the Nazi remnants did not fuse animal genes with the Pandora virus, which was why they failed because the two could not mix at all. However, they did find the Pandora virus in the body of the big-headed monster. This shows that the Nazi remnants did fuse the Pandora virus with the genes of a certain animal, thereby retaining the characteristics of the animal or even strengthening the characteristics of the animal, which led to the birth of the big-headed monster.

It's just that they couldn't figure out how the Nazi remnants were able to put two completely incompatible things together and make them blend, which led to the research making no progress and stagnating.

Now the appearance of these orc gene-enhanced warriors clearly shows that the Nazi remnants did use animal genes as a fusion. Now they just need to figure out whether there is Pandora virus in these animals. As long as they figure this out, it can at least prove that their research direction is correct.

For them, as long as the direction is correct, temporary failure means nothing at all. They will succeed sooner or later. They firmly believe in this.

For them, there are only two possibilities they can think of, and these two possibilities are the most likely. Either the Nazi remnants diluted the Pandora virus and obtained the genetic characteristics of animals by weakening the virus, so that after the enhancers have the characteristics of this thing, their physical fitness and other aspects have a qualitative improvement. Only this explanation can explain clearly why animals that could not be successfully fused can now successfully fuse with other animals. However, it is also possible that this is not the case.

Alternatively, the Nazi remnants may have used some special method to make the Pandora virus less active or even directly eliminated its phagocytic ability, allowing it to merge with animal genes. This also confirms why the big-headed monster has enough intelligence and previous memories.

But no matter which possibility it was, they failed to succeed after the experiments, which made their research lose direction for a while. At this time, the Boss suddenly sent these eight test subjects, which was of great help to their research, so he was naturally very happy.

After all, they didn't find the answers they wanted from the big-headed monster, but maybe they could find them from these eight monsters.

"Doctor, everything is ready."

The assistant came over and said after preparing everything.

"Okay, let's start extracting. Let's... start with this!"

At a command from Dr. Nokanla, two Black Watch soldiers opened one of the iron cages, dragged out the orc gene warrior who had been restored to his original appearance, and followed Dr. Nokanla to the experimental table.

The orc gene warrior was placed on the experimental table, a syringe was inserted into his vein, and a tube was drawn before being pulled out.

The researchers began to get busy, squeezing out a little blood and putting it on the instrument. Nokanla observed and found that this guy's genes contained the original body of the Pandora virus as well as gene fragments of bats. In other words, the Nazi remnants did use the Pandora virus as a basis, successfully integrated animal genes into it, and then studied this monster.

But if that is the case, why can't they succeed?
No, that's not right, it shouldn't be like this!

There has to be something else!
"Draw another tube of arterial blood!"

"Yes, Doctor!"

Everyone started to move again. Dr. Nokanla looked expectant: "Don't let me down..."

After the arterial blood was drawn and tested again, Dr. Nokanla actually discovered something else. This thing was not the Pandora virus, nor was it an animal gene, nor was it something that the human body had. But for a while he couldn't figure out what it was.

There is no other way. If they want to truly study it clearly, they must figure out what this thing is. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this thing can neutralize the phagocytic nature of the Pandora virus, allowing it to merge with animal genes instead of being swallowed up without leaving anything behind.

……

"Dr. Schmidt, our chip link with the Orc Squad has been disconnected!"

At the Red Devil base under the Black Sea of ​​Antolia, the researchers in charge of chips came to report the situation to Schmidt.

After the orc gene warrior team failed in their mission and was captured, the control chip did not provide immediate feedback. There was no other way. As long as the link was not disconnected and the implanted person was not dead, there would be no feedback. They could only issue orders through the chip so that the chip implanted person could obey the orders. However, if they wanted to know whether the orders were completed, they still needed the chip implanted person to come back to know.

Schmidt frowned when he heard that. The chip link was disconnected, which meant that the Orc team's mission had failed, and there was a high probability that they were captured by the other side. Otherwise, the feedback they received should have been the news of the Orc team's death, not the link being disconnected manually.

After the death of the implantee, the chip link will provide very clear feedback, because as long as the chip is implanted, the implantee's physical condition will be displayed in real time, including injuries and so on.

But it was different this time. The orc team shown in the previous second was listless and injured, and the link was disconnected in the next second. This shows that the RFG Group developed the chip and removed it.

"Is there any other way to detonate it?" Schmidt asked.

"It can't be helped, Doctor."

The researchers shook their heads helplessly. Even the link was broken. It was simply a fantasy and impossible to detonate the micro-bomb in the chip again.

"Okay, I get it. They are just some defective products. Let's prepare to start the second generation of orc enhancement!"

Schmidt waved his hand and didn't care much about it. This time the orc warriors were just a test for the RFG Group. It would be great if that team of orc warriors could complete the task, but he could also accept it if they couldn't.

As for the orc gene-enhanced virus, he had already developed the second generation. Although it had not been injected into the human body and the success rate was unclear, he believed that it must be feasible because his direction was not wrong.

The effect of the second-generation orc gene-enhanced virus will naturally be stronger than the first-generation, so in comparison, the first generation is a defective product.

As for whether Sean's RFG Group can develop the same virus through the orc gene warriors he sent over, he is confident enough on this point. This thing is not so easy to research.

The issue of the fusion of beast genes and Pandora virus alone is enough to stump the other party.

……

At this time, in the underground experimental base in the Sahara Desert, Nokanla had already begun performing dissections on bats. Drawing blood for tests to determine how the beast genes were fused was no longer enough for him. He was ready to thoroughly study this enhanced and fused bat warrior.

If one wants to study it thoroughly, then dissection, blood drawing, and stem cell analysis are all essential steps. It just so happens that he now has nine such samples, which is more than enough.

The reason they didn't use this method on the big-headed monster before was because they only had one sample. If it was damaged, they didn't know if a second one would appear, or when a second one would appear and be captured by their people and sent to the laboratory. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, they would rather temporarily suspend the research progress than dissect it.

But now it is different. They now have nine similar specimens, nine in total. Dissecting one or two is completely within their acceptable range. Since blood tests are not enough to conduct reverse research and find out what is going on, they will start the dissection without hesitation. They must find out how the Nazi remnants managed to fuse together things that were originally impossible to fuse together, and successfully completed the enhancement and produced a finished product.

As the knife cut, the bat warrior soon died completely. All the organs and blood in his body were collected and placed in containers. The scene looked a bit bloody.

While these things were just taken out and were still warm, Dr. Nokanla started testing, extracting and researching without any pause.

The most critical thing is to extract the orc gene-enhanced virus injected into its body by the Nazi remnants, and then study all the components inside after extraction.

Only when the composition is clear can they reverse engineer how the orc gene virus was produced, so that they can replicate it and even innovate it.

The process of scientific research is often boring and tedious, but for Dr. Nokanla and the researchers here, the process of exploration and discovering new things is what makes them most intoxicated, just like taking drugs, which makes people unable to extricate themselves. The pleasure in it is unimaginable to outsiders.

This is a unique trait of scientific researchers, and only those who possess this trait can become truly outstanding scientific researchers.

……

An island country with its capital in Tokyo. It is an arc-shaped island country located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, extending from northeast to southwest. The entire country is made up of islands of all sizes, including four large islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and more than 6800 small islands. The land area is about 37.8 square kilometers, consisting of 1 city, 1 prefecture, 2 prefectures, and 43 counties. As of July 2024, the total population is about 7 million, making it the only developed country with a population of over 1 million, except for the United States. The main ethnic group is the Yamato people, and Japanese is the common language. The main religions are Shintoism and Buddhism.

In Ginza, Central District, Jingdong City, Li Lian's infrastructure team was busy in the underground. A tall building, which had never been seen before, rose up, with a height of thirty stories. A red and white umbrella-shaped LoGo was flashing on the huge LED display.

Umbrella Corporation!

Parasol Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.!

Umbrella Biopharmaceuticals, the name of this company is displayed in both English and Japanese.

This is a pharmaceutical company that Sean opened in the island country not long ago. The reason for opening this pharmaceutical company is very simple. The geographical location here is very advantageous and can radiate to the entire Southeast Asia region.

Of course, another point is that there are no fewer free experimental subjects here than in Africa.

what?
You mean clones?
Don’t clones cost money?
Moreover, after the experiments on clones, naturally grown test subjects are still needed to carry out the final experiments. So Sean thought about it, and Umbrella Pharmaceuticals was naturally born.

As we are an island country, as the saying goes, fortunes change over time. You do the first day and I do the fifteenth, and no one should blame anyone else.

Moreover, this Jingdong underground experimental base is only the first underground laboratory he opened in the island country. Umbrella Pharmaceuticals will open four more branches in the future, and he has already selected the locations.

Osaka, Sakura, and Kawasaki, three of which are located on the island, and the other one will be opened in Lion Port.

In fact, two branches are enough to cover the Asia-Pacific region, but since we prefer island countries, we will open two more.

Moreover, their company does not need to capture the experimental subjects themselves. The local gangs have a complete industrial chain, and the two sides can directly collude with each other and carry out a certain degree of cooperation.
