Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 90 Results

With the help of Hong and Thor, the swarm's size continues to expand, and the process of globalization has become unstoppable.

One by one, base cities announced their joining the Chinese United Government, and the entire Earth gradually united together.

A large number of warriors ride monsters and, together with swarms of insects, hunt monsters in the wilderness to reclaim cities occupied by them.

The situation within China became increasingly stable. The monsters in cities were cleared away, and new high-rise buildings were erected in the ruins.

Some people in the base city have gradually begun to migrate outwards.

Throughout China, over a billion people are crammed into six base cities and surrounding satellite cities, and the utilization rate of resources has long since reached its limit.

When safety is guaranteed and there are certain preferential treatments when entering a newly built city, many people are willing to go out and try their luck.

With the establishment of various safe zones, large amounts of land were developed, and the strain on resources in various aspects was alleviated.

Everywhere there is bustling construction activity, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere; almost everyone is busy.

Qin Mu, who orchestrated all of this, did not slack off.

Compared to Jia Yi, Hong, Lei Shen, and others who fought for unification abroad, Qin Mu's main task was to guard the foundation of China.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, he is basically no longer needed to fight.

Even those two ocean monsters could only flee desperately when they encountered Hong and Lei Shen, who possessed the Moyun Vine.

For certain special reasons, Qin Mu did not deal with the two Emperor-level monsters in the ocean; otherwise, given the ever-expanding scale of the ocean swarm, finding the two Emperor-level monsters would not have been difficult.

With Qin Mu's current strength, even a royal-level monster would have no chance of escaping if he encountered one.

However, his focus was no longer on the battle at the moment. Apart from occasionally going out to capture and enslave king-level monsters, he spent most of his time in the research lab.

At this moment, in the key laboratory of biological therapy at the First Military Academy of Jiangnan Base City, Qin Mu and Professor Zhou are operating experimental instruments in the research room to produce a gene drug.

Compared to when I first met Professor Zhou, he looked much younger now, and his movements were much more agile during the experiment.

After returning from Kirishima, Qin Mu gave Professor Zhou a ten-thousand-year-old willow heart. After taking it, Professor Zhou reached the advanced warrior level, his cell activity increased greatly, and he looked much younger.

Although Professor Zhou himself wasn't particularly concerned with improving his personal abilities, focusing all his attention on scientific research, he was pleased that his improved physical condition made him more energetic during research.

"It still doesn't work."

Professor Zhou frowned deeply.

Three months ago, Qin Mu approached Professor Zhou and proposed his idea of ​​a human bloodline evolution potion.

Professor Zhou was immediately drawn to the idea and devoted a great deal of energy to studying it with Qin Mu.

Not only Professor Zhou, but also a large number of top researchers participated in the experiment. China itself strongly supports this kind of research, and a large amount of manpower and resources were mobilized without Qin Mu even having to say anything.

"We have collected a large amount of genetic data from the descendants of powerful war gods. Their genes do have many subtle differences from those of ordinary people. It is these subtle differences that make them naturally more talented than ordinary people."

"However, after extracting this part of the gene, performing gene editing, and making it into a gene drug, the effect is far less than expected."

Despite having gathered the top scientific researchers in China and having access to a wide range of resources, including high-end resources like the Spirit of Plants, the experiment has made some progress, even though it did not achieve the expected goals.

Before Qin Mu proposed this idea, similar research had been conducted in China and even in several other major countries.

The results include various gene-enhancing drugs for martial artists, and so on.

Unfortunately, the side effects of these gene serums are too great. Although they can enhance strength, they will basically be unable to improve on their own from then on.

This essentially depletes the body's potential, not the bloodline enhancement Qin Mu imagined.

What he wants is to enhance his potential, even his genetic potential, rather than simply improving his strength.

Many powerful races in the universe, such as the Manka aliens, continuously produce strong individuals and improve the genes of their offspring. After countless years, the Manka aliens, who possess bloodlines among the top ten of humanity, finally emerged.

Therefore, starting with the genes of the descendants of the strong is a very good entry point.

Although the strongest beings on Earth are only planetary-level powerhouses like Hong and Thor who have descendants, Qin Mu's requirements are not that high. After all, research cannot be accomplished overnight; it requires starting from the basics step by step.

With Qin Mu's current level of scientific research, these resources are sufficient.

After gathering top scientific researchers from across the country, the ideas they put forward were extremely beneficial to Qin Mu.

While they were discussing things in the laboratory, hundreds of miles away, in a cave hundreds of meters underground...

A level-three mother nest stands tall, and within the surrounding evolution chambers, based on Qin Mu's genetic structure and incorporating the excellent genetic blueprints of numerous powerful descendants, the process is underway.

Compared to the various complex instruments required in a laboratory, editing genes in an evolution chamber is much easier.

Each new gene structure was edited, and then the mother nest began to incubate and verify them based on these gene blueprints.

Near the mother nest, an insect egg burst open, and a human body that bore a striking resemblance to Qin Mu emerged from it.

But after taking only a few steps, the man stumbled and fell to the ground, his skin torn and blood flowing out.

"After gene fusion, experimental subject No. 0056731 crashed. The experimental data has been saved and is under analysis."

A cold will echoed within the nest.

A worker insect crawled over and dragged the human body into the digestive organs of the mother nest.

Just as this human body was being dragged into the digestive system, more human bodies were hatched.

"Test subject No. 0056732 has improved gene energy absorption and utilization rate and physical fitness, but some organs and bones have become abnormal. The experimental data has been saved and is under analysis."

A strange human body, similar in height and build to Qin Mu, but with skin covered in scales and arms covered in sharp bone spurs, bursts out of the insect egg.

"Experimental subject No. 0056733 has fused with some monster genes, resulting in enhanced physical attributes and a high degree of mutation throughout the body. The experimental data has been saved and is currently under analysis."

A monster three meters tall, resembling a human in appearance, with two bent arms that grew out of razor-sharp mantis arms, roared to the sky.

"..."

Near the mother nest, a large number of human bodies resembling Qin Mu were continuously hatching.

Only a very small percentage of these individuals are in good condition; the majority are either suffering from genetic collapse or have undergone significant mutations, resulting in distorted physical forms.

Gene experiments are extremely dangerous, especially direct gene editing on the human body itself.

This is also a major reason why progress is slow in the laboratory.

They need to ensure safety before using it, but Qin Mu doesn't need to. He can immediately execute any ideas he has and verify their feasibility.

This kind of gene editing, which is like an instinct for the insect swarm, is far more efficient.

"After gathering the nation's top scientific research talents, the research progress is much faster than when I was alone. The sparks generated by the collision of ideas have enabled us to quickly overcome one difficulty after another."

Qin Mu's voice rang out from within the swarm's will.

As the ruler of the swarm, how could he ignore the power of the group?

These researchers may not be physically powerful, but their wisdom is absolutely top-notch.

When encountering difficulties in the research on the brood nest, Qin Mu proposed to pool their wisdom and conduct research in both the laboratory and the brood nest.

The progress is much faster than if he were to study it alone.

Even in the laboratory, preliminary results have been achieved, not to mention in the mother nest.

Within the mother nest, there are already three relatively stable enhancement schemes that can improve Qin Mu's potential. Although the enhancement is not very significant, it is already a very good start.

Furthermore, within the mother nest, Qin Mu has successfully combined some of the superior genes of martial arts descendants to create a gene serum that can raise a human's strength to the level of a primary warrior without any side effects.

However, making this potion requires a lot of energy, and making it in a laboratory requires a large amount of precious medicinal materials, and the effect is not as good as that made in the mother nest.

"These days are so wonderful."

Unlike the fighting and killing when battling monsters, this feeling of constantly filling the brain with knowledge is simply wonderful.

Qin Mu found that he seemed to enjoy this research life as well. Unlike the passion of battle, this kind of growth in tranquility was equally fascinating.

"Unfortunately, such a peaceful life requires strong military force to maintain."

In the laboratory, the attached optical computer on Qin Mu's arm vibrated, indicating a call request from Jia Yi.

"Qin Mu, we succeeded! The Ice Emperor, Mohanderson, has submitted his application to join the Chinese United Government. Global unification is complete!"

Jia Yi's excited voice came from the auxiliary quantum computer.

"It's unified."

I glanced at the time on the auxiliary computer; it was already June 6th, 2057.

Qin Mu sighed. The reason for the long delay was that he did not want to cause too many civilian deaths and wanted to achieve unification in a relatively gradual way.

Hong and Thor had already joined the United Government, and their many powerful subordinates naturally belonged to the United Government as well.

Not only the original strongmen, but also many Chinese martial artists who rose to prominence during the war. Thanks to the abundant supply of plant spirits, there are now more than 10,000 war gods in China, more than ten times the number before the war.

Among the numerous War God-level experts, more than thirty have naturally broken through to the Planetary level.

Among these people who rose to prominence during the war, Luo Feng stood out the most.

After carrying out a security mission on Wudao Island, Luo Feng quickly broke through to the planetary level and officially joined the high-ranking officials of the Huaxia United Government, becoming a general with real power.

After leading his monsters in continuous battles and defeating numerous monster tides, he made significant contributions.

During this period, he showed great curiosity about his own monsters and even suggested that he wanted to learn more about the military's monster breeding technology.

There are so many people like Luo Feng who share similar curiosity; even Hong and Lei Shen are very curious.

All of this seemed unremarkable.

Given the strength of the Chinese United Government, unification by force would be far too easy.

Not long after the communication with Jia Yi ended, good news also came from the insect swarm.

The poisonous gas in that Queen Mother's Nest is almost completely gone.

A venomous insect, having made its first contact with the surface of the Queen Mother's Nest, is now exploring deeper into the nest through the various passages.

"Double happiness!"

The Earth arc is almost over.
