Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 231 Resurrecting the Ancients

Bai Qi felt increasingly that he needed to develop a set of gene-related equipment, no, it would be best to develop a complete set of biochemical equipment.

Not only to study the evolutionary scheme of Gamma, but also because the husky's mechanical and flesh-and-blood fusion had been idle for a long time, it was a good opportunity to study it as well.

Oh right, and the rune evolution scheme for flesh and blood life forms can also be studied while we're at it.

Okay, that's the decision.

Bai Qi raised his head and briefly told Bai Yan and Luo Zhu his thoughts.

"You want to buy a complete set of biochemical research equipment?"

Luo Zhu looked at Bai Qi with some surprise and said, "It's not that Mom is trying to discourage you, but the whole set of equipment, even if it's not top-of-the-line, will cost hundreds of millions of federal dollars. Although Dad and Mom have some savings, it's not enough."

Bai Yan nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Although Dad has some connections and can get a discount, it's only enough to buy a simple gene analyzer, which isn't very useful."

"If you ask me, son, you should go to your parents' lab. Your dad is in charge now, and I won't let your pet be dissected by someone else."

Bai Qi smacked his lips upon hearing this and said, "Can I say that I'm actually afraid you two will slice Delta into pieces?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu's face showed a hint of anger, and he said, "What kind of son distrusts his parents like this?! At most, Mom only collects some tissue samples..."

Luo Zhu's voice grew softer and softer until she finally shut up completely.

Clearly, even she herself didn't believe what she said.

"I can handle the money issue; I still have a small amount of savings."

Bai Qi took out a federal card and handed it to Luo Zhu, saying, "I've spent a lot lately, and I only have 100 million left. If it's not enough, Mom and Dad, please lend me the money first, and I'll pay you back later."

Bai Yan: "..."

Luo Zhu: "..."

Luo Zhu blankly accepted the Federal Card, and it took her a long time to react after seeing the string of zeros on it.

"Son, is that rune evolution patent really yours?"

Bai Qi sighed helplessly and said, "Don't you two watch the news? Wasn't it clearly stated at the press conference? Even if you don't watch it, Master Lanta just said it."

A hint of apology appeared on Bai Yan's face as he said, "We were conducting a large-scale research project, and due to confidentiality regulations, we were not allowed to exchange information with the outside world."

Okay, it's confidentiality clauses again.

"Son, let's not talk about these equipment issues for now. Tell us about your recent experiences first."

Seeing this, Luo Zhu immediately stepped in to smooth things over. Bai Qi didn't hesitate either. He led the two to the lounge, brought out a bunch of tonics, and began to recount his experiences over the past few days.

"...In the end, I helped the Thirteenth Bureau obtain the Twin Sky Mechs, one for each of the two factions, and then I came back."

Bai Qi concisely recounted his experiences since awakening his talent to the two, skipping over many unimportant details.

Even so, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu still said they couldn't digest it all at once.

"To put it simply, son, you've entered the First Emperor's Secret Realm and the Law Emperor's Secret Realm recently, and you also took Bai Chuanqi as your apprentice. In your spare time, you even researched two core patents?"

In the end, Bai Yan was the first to regain her senses and extracted the main experiences of Bai Qi during this period.

"Hmm, that's about it."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this and said, "However, the revenue from the core patent is not yet fully stable. It should be around that time after the second stage of rune evolution is made public. I just didn't expect the Blue Tower Master to be so fast. I was thinking of perfecting the mental energy storage device before making any decisions."

Seeing Bai Qi's somewhat regretful expression, Luo Zhu and Bai Yan exchanged glances.

They say the student surpasses the teacher, but it seems my son has not only surpassed him, he has practically traveled through time!

After a long silence, the two finally accepted Bai Qi's Federal Card and said, "I'll contact you about the equipment later. I'll get back to you once it's in place. But biochemistry is a very complex field, and since you haven't worked with it before, it would be best if we could both work together to help you with the research when we have some free time."

Bai Qi nodded. It would be really stupid of him not to use the two experts in his family. If all else fails, he can just ask his parents to tutor him.

"By the way, what about those ancient biological embryos Mom mentioned earlier? Were they also found in the First Emperor's Secret Realm?"

His only contact with ancient species so far was in the First Emperor's Secret Realm. Now that his parents have come to the association to hand over the reins, the probability is quite high.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's question, Bai Yan immediately pursed his lips, while Luo Zhu nodded nonchalantly and said, "That's right, it was the association that found it and had our consortium take charge of the research."

"Ah Zhu, you've violated the confidentiality agreement."

Bai Yan frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Luo Zhu's actions.

"What's there to be afraid of about my own son? Besides, this is his private place, and there are no surveillance or recording devices here."

Huh?

(Shuke, did you write it down?)

Shuke: "What do you think...?"

Seeing this, Bai Yan stopped arguing and could only pick up the juice in front of him and drink it. Luo Zhu continued to explain to Bai Qi, "Originally, the association still had some living ancient species, but these ancient species seemed unable to adapt to the current external environment and died as soon as they left the secret realm."

"Fortunately, the embryos preserved by ancient people are still relatively intact, and complete ancient species genes have been extracted from some fossils, which can be considered as leaving us a way to revive them."

"Resurrecting the ancient species?"

Hearing his mother's words, Bai Qi was somewhat shocked.

As pets have evolved to this point, countless species have been eliminated. There have even been several cases of pet extinction in the Federation's history, but the reasons for these extinctions were rather ridiculous and were not made public.

After all, the idea that they were eaten to extinction is hard to believe.

And now, my parents actually want to directly revive the ancient species?

Is this some kind of Jurassic Park project? Oh wait, this should be called a Primitive Age Park?

"That's right. Our consortium has always been dedicated to researching the ancient genes hidden in the bloodlines of pet beasts and finding scientific solutions to revive legendary creatures. Reviving ancient species is just one step in the process."

"It's just that we couldn't find a suitable embryo donor before, but now that we've found a healthy embryo, we naturally can't let it go."

Luo Zhu nodded and said, "It's a pity that you studied mechanical weapons, son. Otherwise, with your clever brain, you might have already figured out a way to resurrect someone."

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "Mom, you overestimate me. If you asked me to fix a couple of machines, I could probably manage, but researching genetic resurrection of ancient species or something..."

Bai Qi was speaking when he suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Delta, who had already started another day of training, and asked, "Mom and Dad, what do you think would happen if we put the genes of an ancient species into a progenitor beast?"

Bai Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately shook his head and said, "We've tested the Primordial Beast, and it can't carry the genes of ancient species. After all, the Primordial Beast has survived to this day, so its genetic strength is no longer sufficient..."

"Genetic strength?!"

Bai Yan suddenly stopped and looked out the window at Delta. Luo Zhu also reacted and said, "The genes of ancient species are generally stronger than those of modern organisms, so it's difficult to find suitable embryos. What if we do the opposite and weaken the genes of ancient species first?"

"It's really embarrassing that we didn't think of such a simple method."

Thinking that they had overlooked such a simple method, Bai Yan chuckled to himself, while Luo Zhu looked at Bai Qi with increasing satisfaction.

"You truly are my good eldest son. You solved a problem in no time. Son, why don't you just change your major and switch to biology? With your parents' help, you'll be able to catch up on your basics very quickly."

Bai Qi sighed helplessly upon hearing this and said, "Mom, please let me go. But I already have enough to study in mechanical engineering and rune engineering. If I add biology to my studies, your son will die of exhaustion."

"That's true, son. You've already achieved success in these two areas, so there's really no need to be distracted by anything else."

Luo Zhu nodded with some regret, no longer insisting on Bai Qi's request.

"But what you're saying sounds really interesting. Could you take me to see the genes of these ancient species or something?"

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "I haven't let Delta try evolving ancient species yet, but it might be a direction for evolution."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Yan remained silent for a moment, then looked at Delta before nodding and saying, "Alright, this will also serve as a test to see if the Primordial Beast can truly carry the genes of the ancient species."

"good!"

Hearing that his father had actually agreed to his idea, Bai Qi was both surprised and delighted.

Ancient species, just look at that saber-toothed tiger. Even though it was malnourished and restricted by the slave contract, it still showed such combat power. If Delta could evolve into a similar form, it would be a considerable gain.

Even if they regress, the data that ancient species can provide should still be more than that of other organisms, which would be quite beneficial in accelerating the accumulation of basic data in the lower Delta.

The three hit it off immediately, and together with Delta, they left the secret realm and headed straight for the Tower of the Moonlit Night.

Although the ancient embryos were well preserved, they had left their original secret realm. To avoid problems similar to those of the ancient species, the association sent all of these embryos to the Tower of the Moonlit Night for protection early on.

Abbreviation: pregnancy preservation.

After a series of examinations, Bai Qi finally arrived at the place where ancient embryos were preserved.

At the same time, I also saw several old acquaintances.

"Uncle Chun, Feng Ye? What are you doing here?"

Bai Qi looked at Feng Ye, who was carefully moving a pile of fossils, with some surprise.

"Bai Qi?"

Feng Ye was also somewhat surprised, while Chun Yushui, after glancing at Bai Yan and Luo Zhu beside Bai Qi, immediately laughed and said, "I was wondering why Bai Qi looked familiar. He's your son, Little Bai!"

noob?

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then unconsciously looked at Bai Yan, whose eyes were twitching slightly, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.

Is my dad's nickname Xiaobai?

Let him laugh for a while...
