Huang Chi hummed: "The concept is correct, but the current number of blood sample subjects has decreased."
"Then open recruitment will be conducted, but it requires a certain level of strength, so that the collected samples will be replenished."
"Open recruitment?" Huang Chi was stunned, "The Twelve Families are very stingy. If they recruit openly, all the money they spent before will be in vain."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "You don't understand this, you've already smashed a lot, and they don't mind continuing to smash. The most important thing now is to get results."
"It's interesting. Let's do what you want. But it's just the two of us. The recruitment work may be a bit heavy. I don't think it's better for you to do it alone." Huang Chi began to refuse.
"Who said I have to do it myself?" Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, "I have been practicing with these team members for a long time. I will leave it to them to do the preliminary screening. They will be divided into several groups, and each group will arrange recruitment tasks.
If you don't recruit enough, you will be fined according to the proportion if you are missing one...If you recruit too many and there are many unqualified people, you will be fined the same."
"I'm afraid you are trying to get money! I really despise you! You are so vulgar." Huang Chi rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan complained bitterly and said: "What do you know? You know how to tinker with your equipment all day long. Do you know how much consumption of training and research and development there is? Without me doing it bit by bit, how can you be as good as you?"
day?"
"Yes, so I think we need to find some other personnel to supplement and improve our logistics support."
"You should have done this a long time ago."
...
Time passed quickly, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Ma Xiaoquan and Huang Chi also walked to the ground many times. He also saw penguins as he wished and appreciated the beautiful scenery of the Antarctic continent.
The research and development of the Devil's Hand potion finally achieved a certain breakthrough. After Mingfa and his team repeatedly tested tens of thousands of sets of blood samples, finally a few sets of blood were close to the efficacy of the catalyst, but then came new problems.
The problem arises again. According to Mingfa, blood cannot fully function as a catalyst because blood is liquid and has good fusion properties. If it is simply used as a catalyst, the extracted medicine cannot be used directly at all and needs to be repeated.
After further purification, the actual effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced, even inferior to ordinary stimulant strengthening medicines, and there will also be some unknown and uncontrollable side effects.
Huang Chi remains optimistic about the progress of research and development. According to what he told Ma Xiaoquan privately, the expected progress is nearly a quarter earlier than he expected. This will give him more time to
Tinkering with his instrument.
Ma Xiaoquan had seen Huang Chi's instrument. To put it bluntly, it was two cabins that could accommodate a person lying down, like those in science fiction movies. Ma Xiaoquan asked Huang Chi what was his original intention in designing this thing. Huang Chi's answer
It's simple - body s
Ma Xiaoquan frowned. Over the past few months, he had basically understood the implementation of this plan, and even had a systematic understanding of Bai Suzhen, Gong Yu, and Asakura Minami.
It was okay for Gong Yu and Asakura Minami. What they didn't expect was Bai Suzhen. It turned out that she was just an experimental subject. She was one of the first experimental subjects for this instrument built by Huang Chi. And it can be heard from Huang Chi's words.
Bai Suzhen should be the chosen experimental subject.
"Isn't this a bit cruel? Bai Suzhen looks like a normal person to me. Does he have any terminal illness or something? Are you using him for experiments?"
Huang Chi shook his head, and said with a bit of laughter: "If the Devil's Hand plan can be implemented, and with the help of the Twelve Families, there will naturally be additional conditions. The thing I made is one of the additional conditions."
"The Twelve Families, what do they want with this thing?"
Huang Chi smiled and said, "If I say it's because most of the heads of the twelve families want eternal life, do you believe it?"
"Eternal life?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, "What is there to pursue in this thing? Is it possible that true immortality must be good? I think even you who are highly civilized may not have complete immortality, right?"
Huang Chi nodded: "After all, worldly power, money, beauties, etc. are still very attractive to you now. Besides, if you achieve a certain degree of immortality, you won't think too much about the issue of successors.
, you can keep doing what you want to do, right?"
"That's true of what you said, but you just said that most families, then there are some families who don't agree or..."
"That's not true. The original intention of designing this cabin is actually to balance the intentions of all the twelve families. Some people agree with immortality, while others think inheritance and continuity are the right way. After all, if the old monster stays for a long time, it is inevitable that he will
There is a situation of corrupt thoughts and depravity. So in the end, the answer I gave them is to abandon your current body and transfer all your will, thoughts, etc. to another person."
"Seizing the body?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, wondering how could this weird thing become a plot in a fantasy novel?
"No, it's just an exchange. For example, after I exchanged with you, everything I had was transferred to your body, and yours was transferred to mine."
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed, patted his forehead and said, "This is actually a body swap, right? In a general sense, it can be regarded as immortality in disguise."
"Yes..." Huang Chi nodded, "But..." At this point, his eyes narrowed slightly, "The Yu family did not participate in this additional plan."
"Yu family? Gong Yu's family?"
"Yes, I have never met their clan leader, Saint Yueting, until now."
"Saint Yueting..." Ma Xiaoquan murmured a few words, shook his head and said, "If you haven't seen her before, you haven't seen her before. It's not a big deal. Even if her family doesn't agree, she has the other eleven families.
It’s impossible to do it alone, right?”
"That's true..." Huang Chi hummed.
"By the way~~" Ma Xiaoquan asked Huang Chi, "If Bai Suzhen is the experimental subject, someone must switch with her. Who is it?"
Huang Chi shook his head: "We haven't found a suitable candidate yet, so we plan to find two from ordinary people."
Ma Xiaoquan originally thought about asking where to find ordinary people, but then he realized that this matter was not directly related to the Devil's Hand Project, so he stopped asking.
...
During the lunch break, Mingfa came to see Ma Xiaoquan and said that the experiment had now reached a critical step and he needed Mr. J's help.
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Mingfa and said that I am just an instructor at the Angel Heart training camp. I don’t understand your research and development, so what help do you ask me for?
Mingfa didn't say it explicitly, but he insisted on asking Ma Xiaoquan to go to the laboratory. He had no choice but to go with him.
There were a lot of researchers in the laboratory today. Ma Xiaoquan counted nearly twenty of them.
Everyone saw Ma Xiaoquan coming and stood up to greet him.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said straight to the point: "Tell me, is there anything I can do to help?"
Mingfa hesitated and didn't dare to say anything, but a female researcher stood up and said straightforwardly: "Mr. J, can I use your blood?"
"Mine?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it had been so long since the Devil's Hand project started, and he had never contributed his blood to research.
"Yes, Mr. J, we took a lot of samples, but your blood was the only one that was not sampled."
"What about Huang Chi?"
"Oh, Mr. Huang Chi handed us his blood sample yesterday. Unfortunately, his blood was invalid."
Ma Xiaoquan cursed in his heart that Huang Chi was a cunning old man. There was no way the blood in this guy's body would be useful. He probably just found someone to get some blood to deal with it.
"Well, okay, come on then~" Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his arm and Mingfa winked at the female researcher. The latter immediately came up with the needle and tube, tied his arm with a rubber band, and touched it.
The vein was touched and it was pricked in a short time.
It's just that... the seemingly bluffing needle didn't penetrate even a hair the moment it hit Ma Xiaoquan's arm, but instead bent.
"This..." The female researcher raised her head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with a look of surprise on her face.
Ma Xiaoquan was also a little embarrassed, he knew it was the Steel Skin that triggered it automatically.
"I'll do it myself." Ma Xiaoquan sighed, took the syringe from the female researcher, replaced it with another needle, and expertly inserted the needle into the vein. After a while, a syringe of blood was collected.
"Okay~" Ma Xiaoquan pulled out the needle and handed the syringe to the female researcher. The female researcher looked at Ma Xiaoquan with bright eyes, and a slight blush appeared on her face.
"Is there anything else you can help with?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Mingfa.
Mingfa shook his head quickly: "No, thank you, Mr. J."
"Hmm~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, picked up a cotton swab and pressed it on the crook of his arm, then turned and left.
Watching Ma Xiaoquan's leaving figure, Mingfa quickly urged his companions to start the experiment...
Five days later, Ma Xiaoquan was drinking tea with Huang Chi when he saw Mingfa running over panting.
"Mr. Huang Chi, Mr. J, good news, good news, the experiment has made significant progress, there has been significant progress..."
Huang Chi and Ma Xiaoquan looked at each other and said, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly~"
Mingfa said excitedly: "We purified Mr. J's blood and used it, and surprisingly found that Mr. J's blood can be used as a catalyst."
Ma Xiaoquan had just picked up the teacup to drink. When Mingfa said this, he was also surprised.
