I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"That's the theory... But for now, we can only do this with female stem cells, which means we can only hatch girls."

There was a strange expression on Medea's face. She hadn't thought about it this way before, but now it seemed to be the case. Although artificial humans had various problems, the fact that they could be sustainably "produced" was a bit terrifying.

In particular, the essence of flesh and blood developed by the dwarfs is a natural nutrient for embryos, which invisibly fills the gap in the mass production of artificial human technology.

But it is still in the preliminary research stage, and no one knows what problems will arise.

At present, the disadvantages of this technology far outweigh its advantages. The cutting-edge technology in this area in her previous life was stuck at the level of ethics and morality, not to mention that the level of education in her world is far lower than that in her previous life.

She didn't think that the people of this world were ready to accept artificial humans, not every artificial human could get her genes as a basis, and not every artificial human could get her help to make up for genetic defects.

It would be extremely inappropriate to treat artificial humans as war consumables or something else. After all, they are human beings, not cats or puppies. Discrimination against them is discrimination against human beings themselves.

They can speak, have feelings and souls, but have no parents or relatives. This kind of existence, which is born at the bottom of society and is helpless and on the edge of society, is a tragedy in itself and can easily become the source of social unrest.

What she feared was not the unrest caused by the artificial humans, but the fact that if only female artificial humans could be hatched in large quantities, there would be a high probability that society would enter a female-centered cycle prematurely, which would be a big problem.

Alyssa didn't pay much attention to her. Who would care about the big one when there is a small one? She held her granddaughter and walked towards the flowers and plants she raised in the manor. Yes, those were the kingdom she had conquered~

God, she didn't know how many years she had wanted to have granddaughters and grandsons, although she was very good to the children adopted by Medea.

But she is her, and her family is her family. If possible, she still hopes that the family heritage and glory will be inherited by Astar's own descendants.

The news that the Queen's family had no offspring was also the focus of gossip on the streets, and everyone agreed that Koi was a man...

As for the Queen herself, they didn't say anything. It wasn't because they were afraid of literary inquisition, but they privately felt that this was the best way.

They are very satisfied with their current peaceful life. No one knows whether a son-in-law will lead the empress into trouble in the future. They just don't dare to say it openly.

...

While Medea was running around, Veronica's holiday life was very regular. She ran to the Academy of Aerospace Sciences three times a day without fail. The experts who were causing trouble now hid when they saw her.

There is no way. She is like a curious baby who has endless questions every day and a lot of questions waiting for them to be answered.

According to Veronica, she needs to have sufficient understanding of the aerospace field, otherwise it will take a lot of courage for her to approve budgets in the future.

Just two days ago, the No. 2 rocket, which was manufactured together with the first rocket, completed its improvements and successfully completed the process from launch to explosion. Another three hundred million yuan dissipated into the air.

Veronica, who was watching the scene, almost took a quick-acting heart-saving pill. She couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she lay in bed and came up with this method.

It is impossible to master it, but with her clever little brain she can still get a general idea of ​​the rocket manufacturing process and basic knowledge.

Even if she was spending money, she wanted to do it clearly, instead of just touching the steel plate like an outsider to see if it would explode...

"Veronica..."

Veronica successfully caught up with a middle-aged senior researcher and talked with him for an afternoon. A strange yet familiar voice called her. She turned her head subconsciously and her eyes widened slightly in surprise: "Cassius?! You're back from Ernesto."

Cassius, wearing a brown windbreaker, showed a silly smile just like he did a dozen years ago: "Long time no see."

Veronica pulled the corner of her mouth when she saw this. It was still a familiar taste...

The handsome guy just smiled silly, I don't know how he did it...

The researcher who had been questioned for the whole afternoon seemed to have been drained of all his energy. He quietly retreated, and after keeping a distance, he ran away.

God have mercy on him, he is already this age now, why does he still have to do homework after so many years of graduation... It's like college students doing homework for junior high and high school, it's really painful and torturous.

Veronica didn't call him back when she saw this. She put the notebook she was using to take notes into her bag, walked over to Cassius and gave him a big hug.

'Welcome home...'

"Ok!"

The two were classmates, supported Ernesto's international war together, and participated in Ernesto's construction together. They are very familiar with each other and have a very good friendship.

The cause is great. If it were not for the support of lofty ideals, it would be hard to imagine that people from all over the world would come together to fight for a country thousands of miles away and never before, and to fight the enemy with bayonets.

Sacrifices are inevitable in the process of completing a task. Most of my classmates who had participated in the aid construction at the same time are now buried in a foreign land. Some returned to China while others were transferred away. It is really rare to have the opportunity to meet them.

Cassius came back later than Veronica, mainly because he was one of the commanders of Ernesto's counterattack army. After successfully raising the red flag on the top of the Britian Empire Palace, he settled down in that area and was responsible for the subsequent stability maintenance work.

What is that place, the capital of the empire? The first place where the Allied atomic bomb was dropped

A quarter of the capital was covered with dust turned from 6000-degree radiation. After most of the nuclear radiation disappeared, they began the subsequent cleanup work with the help of the alliance. This delay lasted for several years.

Speaking of which, Cassius felt a lot of emotion. In fact, the resistance of the imperial soldiers at the beginning of the counterattack could be said to be extremely tenacious and fierce, and the pressure they put on Ernesto was far greater than when they attacked Ernesto.

Perhaps this is what normal ordinary people are like. They are unwilling to engage in foreign aggression in their hearts, but they have no choice under the pressure of the general trend.

The situation when being invaded is completely different. They hope from the bottom of their hearts that the war will not affect their innocent civilians. The change in mentality has enhanced their combat effectiveness and fighting will to a certain extent.

But everything collapsed after the nuclear explosion. Everything was in vain under the absolute force. They knew very well that even if they continued to hold on, the result would be nothing more than two more big bombs.

The instantaneous evaporation from a physical perspective was actually nothing. What completely shook the morale of the imperial army were the ordinary people who survived.

Although the first batch of survivors who successfully escaped to the control of other empires received timely medical treatment, most of them were left with lifelong disabilities and infected with various strange diseases that they had seen or not seen before.

The closer the survivors are to the center of the nuclear explosion, the more terrible their physical problems become. Not to mention curing them, even stopping their deterioration is extremely difficult. At the same time, the horrific wounds and complications also make all medical staff involved in the treatment feel deeply terrified.

Their best treatment method was to end the patient's life in the cleanest and most efficient way to end his pain. After the news spread, people throughout the empire became anxious about that kind of bomb, fearing that it would fall on their heads at any time.

Therefore, the subsequent resistance they encountered was very sporadic, and most of the troops surrendered on the spot when they arrived.

Not only the enemies, but they themselves felt empty. What slogans, what passion, what courage, what was left after an explosion of such power?

Even Ernesto was caught in a strange atmosphere. He was probed and tested by other Ernesto colleagues more than once, always trying to get a little technical information about the weapon from him.

He got tired of going there so many times, and came back after attending Yadov's funeral.

Of course, it's not just because of these things, the main reason is...

"Is it okay to discuss this with you?"

In the restaurant, Cassius took off his coat and placed it on the back of the chair, then spoke naturally.

Veronica was just putting her hair into a ponytail and looked at him in confusion: "What? Why are you so polite all of a sudden?"

"Help me out, marry me."

His expression was very calm, if you didn't look at the hand that was tightly clutching his coat.

Veronica was surprised for a moment and then laughed: "You can only worry about this by yourself~ You are not the one I like."

"Do you have a crush on someone?"

She collapsed in the chair and said helplessly: "If I had it, I would have married earlier, and I wouldn't have been called every other day by my mother, saying that I can't get married."

She was indeed a little distressed about this matter. When she first returned to China, she found it difficult to look up to her peers because of her experiences. After seeing blood and experiencing tremendous pressure of survival, people will be much more open-minded about other issues psychologically. After all, she has seen too many lives wither away before they even blossomed.

When I return to a peaceful life and face those trivial matters, I always feel that boys of the same age are immature and childish. They will quibble over some innocuous issues, but will be hesitant on major issues of principle. They are too twisted.

Cassius pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, you're not the one for me either. I like quiet people, and you're a little too much of a troublemaker."

"I did it for my own safety. My mother said if I didn't get married, she would break my legs and tie me to the bed to continue the family line..."

"Break it if you want. It's not my leg anyway. I have to marry someone I like."

Cassius comes from a single-parent family. His old mother worked so hard to raise him, and when he was young, he left home so far away for his ideals. Now he dares not and does not want to disobey her. Of course... this is just one of the reasons.

"Besides, don't we still have Nayi? You used to think about her all the time. Now she has just reached adulthood according to the dwarfs' age calculation. Why don't you go and try again?"

"Ahem... I was young and ignorant. I just like children very much. Well... I adopted two orphan girls in Ernesto. They are very sensible and cute."

Cassius didn't say anything specific, and Veronica didn't ask why they were all girls.

Girls are definitely the first to be abandoned during turbulent times. Due to their body structure, if girls are not well taken care of in childhood, they will most likely become sickly and weak when they grow up and become a burden.

At least boys can be strong laborers in the future and continue their bloodline, so unless they are really penniless and cannot survive, they will basically not be abandoned. This is the social environment.

'A marriage without love is unhappy anyway.'

"I don't think so. I think a marriage with inconsistent values ​​is an unhappy one. Look... we've known each other for so many years, so we must be good brothers, right?"

'Um. ’

"My family is pushing me, and yours is pushing me too. We have such a good relationship, so there's nothing wrong with having a child together to strengthen our brotherhood."

'Uh-huh!'

Su Chen had not rested for a few days before the trial of selecting the top 100 from the top 10 in the alliance officially began.

The subsequent trials basically have nothing to do with firearms. Instead, they are training their bodies and learning close combat techniques. Those with magical abilities are developing in the direction of magic warriors.

Before the logistics and ammunition of firearms are completely resolved, the value of cold weapons is still very high. Moreover, the Alliance has collected a large number of family secrets and classics of the continent's nobles, and there are countless various magic skills. There is nothing that the Alliance does not have, except what you can't think of.

The armor's enhancement of personal physical functions can also greatly improve the power of personal fighting skills. The quality of cold weapons made of new materials has also been greatly improved compared to before.

If they enter a different world, without logistical support, their greatest reliance would be the cold weapons in their hands, so their attainments in this area cannot be too poor.

In fact, these family members all have a foundation. It is more accurate to say that they are optimizing and improving the skills they have learned under the professional guidance of the alliance rather than learning.

While training hard, they also have to receive regular injections of various unknown drugs. Although they don't know what they are, their bodies are undergoing obvious changes at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their strength, physique and reaction abilities are steadily improving.

As time goes by, the intensity of the training is also rising by leaps and bounds, almost training them in a way of self-mutilation. After the training, they will undergo muscle puncture injections in various reserved parts of their armor, and at the same time add new biomass components to the armor.

Self-abuse training, injections and armor modification, each of which will cause intense flesh-tearing pain. During rest time, it cannot be said that they are sleeping but rather they are unconscious. For this reason, some people cannot bear it and quit and are eliminated every day.

Destruction, reorganization, and repair. In just two months, each person was two heads taller than before the training, reaching about 1.9-2 meters, and their weight increased by nearly double, becoming very sturdy and tall.

The role of biomass seems to be a special nutrient transfer medium. After the biomass proliferates and completely fills and merges into the gap between their flesh and armor.

They only need to inject the special nutrient solution given by the Alliance into the reserved port of the armor to sustain themselves for about three days without eating, drinking or excreting, and can also maintain the consumption of high-intensity and high-intensity training and combat.

According to Su Chen's estimation, if they didn't toss around like this, the nutrient solution would most likely be enough to easily sustain the energy they needed to survive for a week. No wonder their armor was designed to be non-detachable from the beginning...

Chapter 428: Energy Source Found, Please Capture

The transformation and strengthening project of the Legion of Redemption is progressing in full swing, with a large amount of Alliance funding and a team of scientific experts working around these hundreds of people.

The biological substance injected into their thyroid gland is a synthetic growth hormone extracted from dead animals. After being released into the human body, it can promote the growth of bone and muscle tissue, stimulate the growth of fast-contraction and slow-contraction muscle fibers, and effectively enhance muscle mass.

After completing the first phase of injections, protein complexes will continue to be injected into the newly grown muscles to help increase muscle strength and endurance.

The ultimate intended goal of these injections is to increase the density of connective tissue and muscle fibers in the muscle molecules, ultimately causing the muscles to twist and twitch with each other, making the connecting tendons stronger and reducing the recovery period of lactose.

Of course, these things are not so easy to implant. The subjects will feel as if napalm is injected into their veins, and will feel the strange pain as if they are being peeled off their skin.

Increasing muscle density makes the human body feel as if it is on fire, as if there are shards of glass mixed in the body, and the shards are crushed with every breath the chest rises and falls, which is why so many people voluntarily quit.

In the enhanced test program, there is no such thing as "you will be stabbed if you stick your head out, and you will be stabbed if you hide your head". It is more like experiencing all kinds of torture, and the pain acting on the nerves is countless times more painful than being stabbed.

Of course, under such almost cruel experimental reinforcement, their physical fitness has also improved by leaps and bounds. Some subjects who have adapted well are already able to lift objects twice their own weight with their bare hands.

Their strong and well-developed muscle groups allow them to easily defeat most humans with their bare hands, and the reduction in lactose recovery also significantly enhances their muscle recovery ability after intense exercise.
