Chapter 598 Xia Shou's Fatal Test

Even though the Control Bureau was in chaos, the experimental equipment in the Research Department was still operating hummingly, and the third test on Xia Shou had just begun.

Li Luo and Modise were staring at Xia Shou standing in front of ten doors behind the one-way observation glass. The colors of the ten doors were exactly the same, with no difference. Only one of them had no punishment mechanism. The remaining nine doors were ranked from high to low, and the punishments ranged from severe to mild.

Ordinary paralyzing electric shocks, anti-wolf spray baths, mild neurotoxins, and then up to the highest level of lethal high voltage electricity, which means that every time the test begins, there is at least a ten percent mortality rate.

This is the experiment that Modis arranged for Xia Shou.

The purpose of this experiment is to test whether scorpion spines have the potential to break through human physiological limitations and allow human senses to evolve under strong external stimulation.

Before Xia Shou, although there had been research in this area, all the experiments had failed. Unless the body underwent disordered deformation, it was impossible for the senses to evolve in a targeted manner.

"What is this doing?" Although Li Luo had already seen the experimental steps, she still didn't understand the principle behind it.

“See if Xia Shou can tell the difference between these colors.

In universal science, the human eye contains three types of cone cells containing different visual pigments. The spectral bands to which these three cone cells are most sensitive are red light, blue light and green light, which are the three primary optical colors.

Stimulating these three types of cones to different degrees will result in different color combinations.

Cows are color blind. Two colors that are highly distinguishable in the human eyes may only have slight changes in brightness in the eyes of cows.

Birds, on the other hand, have four types of cones, so they can see a much richer range of colors than humans.

Scientists once used pigments that were invisible to the human eye, and then used the pigments to paint buttons, matching the buttons to feeders. When a feeder of a fixed color was pressed, the food would fall.

The end result was that after the first few attempts, the experimental bird confirmed that a certain color of button would drop the food, and then no matter how the experimenter swapped the buttons, the bird would accurately press the correct one.

In extraordinary science, there are even more light colors that cannot be perceived by the human eye. The colors of those doors are specially blended. The [Color Demon] can distinguish the difference between each door, but it cannot be seen by the human eye.

Now Xia Shou is that bird. The best result is that through continuous strong stimulation training, the scorpion spine can help him evolve the ability to distinguish colors.

If it succeeds, it will not only be possible to evolve visually, but other senses will still have a huge room for growth, and the research and development of the scorpion spine will enter a whole new field. "Modis explained calmly.

Li Luo looked at Modis through the veil and questioned, "But the mortality rate is too high, isn't it? There's no need for this. Even if he was electrocuted, he can recover as long as the medical department rescues him in time, but the medical resources are wasted."

Without even looking up, Modis said, “This is not an experiment I designed, it was designed by her. Within 24 hours, let Xia Shou choose the time of the experiment herself, once a day, with a minimum interval of 24 hours.

What’s interesting is…he’s done three experiments so far, and he’s chosen the low-risk door all the time.”

"You mean, the scorpion spine really evolved?"

"No, no, no, evolution is gradual. After constant stimulation and adjustment, it slowly evolves in a better direction, just like the giraffe loses its power through use. But the current situation is that Xia Shou, the giraffe, hasn't even raised his neck yet, but just by looking at the leaves high up, his neck has become longer! He has been safe since the first experiment."

"Hmm...it seems like the term giraffe is wrong, right?"

"How could I not know? Is this the point?" Modis said angrily, "The point is how Xia Shou did it. Maybe he has the ability to distinguish between danger and safety. That is another ability that is not in the information."

"So it's reasonable for the General Administration to attach so much importance to him. A person whose personal information is kept confidential and not even disclosed to higher authorities is an untrustworthy black box to the Administration." Li Luo sighed. Modice smiled and said, "At least as an experimental subject, this kid is qualified!"

"Doctor, don't you think Shangguan is a bit special towards Xia Shou?" Li Luo asked tentatively.

"If you ask me, I would take better care of him. He is indeed a useful material. I believe he will be just as useful in Shangguan Yan's hands." Modice laughed and lightly avoided the topic.

"How's the experiment going?" A calm and elegant voice asked from behind them.

Li Luo turned around in surprise and saw Shangguan Yan standing behind her with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

"when did you come?"

"Just got here." Shangguan Yan looked at Modis, "Modis, he's doing pretty well, right?"

"Hmph, it's more than good, it's excellent! But the real hero is you, the premise of the experiment is so well designed." Modise said with a hint of meaning, as if he was mocking.

Then he immediately asked, "So, did you get me the one I wanted?"

"Of course, I spent a lot of energy to find this." Shangguan Yan glanced at Xia Shou in the venue through the glass, and then said to Modis, "Let's go out and talk. Li Luo, if you have nothing to do, when Xia Shou is done, tell him and ask him to come to my office."

Li Luo nodded and asked, "Do you know anything about the director?"

"I don't know yet, but I think there will be progress soon. I will tell you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Shangguan Yan and Modise walked out of the laboratory.

When he got outside, Shangguan Yan was the focus of attention of all kinds of people along the way.

After all, the witch who disappeared with the director suddenly came back here, which definitely means that some changes are going to take place in the branch, and everyone would be curious.

Shangguan Yan ignored those glances, walked out of the office area with Modice, took out a bottle of red liquid emitting a faint red light from the pocket of his windbreaker, and handed it to Modice.

Modise, who usually had a disdainful look on his face, suddenly had his eyes light up when he saw the bottle of liquid, just like a man who hadn't seen a woman for ten years and suddenly discovered a naked, peerless beauty.

"It's really... so beautiful! Is this the solution that can penetrate dreams and reality?" Modice took the bottle of liquid carefully.

Shangguan Yan reminded calmly: "Don't be so careful. The container has been specially treated and is very hard. It will not be damaged even if it is shot at close range by the Barrett."

Modis put away the bottle, calmed down, looked at Shangguan Yan again, and said in an uncertain but seemingly certain tone: "Why don't you tell him directly? Do you want me to take care of him secretly? Is it to maintain the high-pressure image of a leader and don't want that kid to know?"

"Modis, you are so smart. Do you think we can cooperate for a long time?"

"That's what I want, but I think we should not let Xia Shou feel too insecure, otherwise he might really escape from the control bureau." Modise suggested very obscurely.

Shangguan Yan lowered his eyes, looked at the other person deeply, and replied softly: "I think so too."
