While the whole world was in a state of panic due to the emergence of superpowers, Chen Chen applied for a Lilith meeting again.
In the Lilith Council, Chen Chen held a bottle of potion high in front of everyone.
"Is this what you have been researching recently?"
Everyone looked at the bottle of blue liquid with complicated expressions, "How did you do it? Extract it from the bodies of those with superpowers?"
"To be precise, it's extracted from their blood."
Chen Chen nodded and had no intention of giving the potion to the four people for inspection. After all, this was a holographic projection meeting. Even if the four people got the vial, they would only get a mass of phantom, and there was no way to tell. .
"In the blood of these people, our biological department discovered a biological factor, which was eventually named 'L factor'. Through this factor, we synthesized this thing called compound L."
Chen Chen said calmly, "We have also done experiments. After injecting this medicine, there is a 10% certainty that one can become a superpower. Although the chance is not high, once obtained, everyone will be able to become a person with superpowers." Has the power of a consciousness stealer..."
As he said that, a video began to play on the conference table. The video was what Chen Chen had done to those Delta-level experimenters before. Then the screen flashed and those people were released and began to try their own power.
In the video, they do not use their hands, but can bend iron spoons with their consciousness. They can also lift teacups, and some can even lift tables and stools. Although the power is not great, it still caused everyone to be silent. .
"What is this, telekinesis?"
02 couldn't help but ask.
"We call this power psychic energy."
Chen Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it incredible? The power of these people is the same as the power of those superpowers we found in the outside world."
01 Hearing this, he took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart, "Is that just this? If there is only this level, it is useless to us. It is a pity to throw away the tasteless food..."
"of course not."
Chen Chen shook his head, "Based on our research over the past few months, this kind of power can be enhanced through exercise."
After hearing these words, although he couldn't see everyone's expressions, Chen Chen could still tell from their body language that everyone present was moved.
"But only ten percent."
04's voice remained calm, "For these lucky people who have successfully acquired psychic powers, do they have any side effects? And what will happen to the remaining ninety percent?"
"That's a good question."
Chen Chen deliberately sighed, "Successful people have no side effects. At least we did not find any side effects in our tests. The only side effect is that their genes have been changed. This is a gene that can be inherited. As long as they have psychic powers, For people with superpowers, their descendants have a 10% chance of gaining psychic powers."
"... As for the remaining losers, about two-thirds will not happen to them, while the remaining one-third may show symptoms of reduced intelligence, and a very small number of people will show symptoms of brain death."
"so serious?"
Many people suddenly became disappointed, "In other words, there is a 90% failure rate, and of the 90%, 60% are ineffective and 30% die?"
"The death rate is too high..."
"The failure rate is too high..."
Everyone present moved their bodies. 02 even threw away the pen in his hand in disappointment and leaned back on the seat.
"It's already pretty good."
Chen Chen said seriously, "We are equivalent to stealing the spiritual power from the body of the consciousness stealer, so that this power can be transferred to us ordinary people. This is already a good start."
"The question now is, where is the limit of this kind of spiritual power?"
02 spread his hands, "If we can reach the level 05 you showed in the video, then of course we welcome it, but seeing the performance of this group of people, it is obviously difficult to achieve it. After all, the consciousness stealers also massacred millions. Only humans can achieve the strength to fight you."
"I'm a special case, folks."
Chen Chen couldn't help laughing, "My strength comes from the legacy left by 'that person'. There is only one in the world. And the group of people you see, although they are far less powerful than me, they are For those who can become stronger on their own, I can’t even guess where their limits are.”
"Maybe their power is not as strong as my fist now, but what about the future? Who can confirm that their power will not reach my current level?"
"Well, in that case..."
01 said helplessly, "How much does your technology for extracting L factor from blood cost? We bought it."
"Sorry, we won't be selling this for the time being."
Chen Chen shook his head decisively, "If you are willing to barter and bring out the latest reactor core technology, I am willing to exchange it with you."
"What a joke!"
01 suddenly growled and then stopped speaking.
“Since you don’t want to sell technology, then let’s set a price.”
03 urged.
"$200 million apiece."
Chen Chen held out two fingers and said, "The quantity is favorable. If you buy a thousand pieces, I can sell them to you for 180 million US dollars each. If you buy 10,000 pieces at a time, I can reduce the price to 150 million US dollars."
"What?"
"What!"
Everyone shouted, "With such an expensive price, you might as well grab it!"
"The price is not expensive."
Chen Chen shook his head unhurriedly and said sincerely, "Perhaps you don't know how complicated it is to extract L factor from the blood of those who have obtained superpowers. Such an L compound The cost is at least 140 million U.S. dollars, so if I sell you one for 150 million U.S. dollars, I am already very conscientious."
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this. Just listen to what the businessman said.
"Of course, I welcome you to barter with various resources and technologies."
Chen Chen added, "After all, for us at Blackwatch, money no longer means much."
"We need to think about this."
Everyone looked at each other and immediately said in tacit agreement that they still wanted to try it themselves.
"Then I won't accompany you."
Chen Chen nodded indifferently, "By the way, let me tell you that the production of this L compound is currently very small. It can only produce about ten tubes a day, and only four to five thousand tubes a year. If you want Please order as soon as possible because if you are late, you will have to queue up.”
Upon hearing this, the other four people present suddenly felt their hearts sinking.
"In addition, I would like to inform everyone in advance."
Chen Chen continued, "We have planned to upgrade all our bionic warriors and upgrade those in the pipeline to power warriors to prevent super-powered criminals from gradually emerging in society."
"You should have informed us of this."
No. 01's voice gradually turned gloomy, "Don't forget, those bionic police officers also have our official status."
"If you don't mind, I can ask them to resign."
Chen Chen's voice was steady, "In the face of more and more superpowers appearing, how long do you think we can keep it secret? It's better to take advantage of the fact that the number of superpowers is still small to prepare for a rainy day, rather than wait until it becomes overwhelming in the future. I was caught off guard when I stayed…”
"At the same time, have you ever thought about how ordinary police officers will enforce the law in the city when those with superpowers begin to be unafraid of individual hot weapons?"
After asking this question, Chen Chen had no intention of listening to anyone's answer. He went offline directly and disappeared into the conference room.
There were only four silent people left in the conference room.
"call!"
Xiao X turned off the holographic projection, and Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He had always tried to be as low-key as possible at the Lilith meeting, but this was the first time he had become strong at the meeting.
The reason is the increasingly powerful black light technology.
In these years, black light technology has continued to expand rapidly at an extremely terrifying speed. Now it has already overwhelmed the pharmaceutical systems of various countries around the world, and only a few state-owned pharmaceutical companies can survive.
The key point is that these continents do not dare to give up the pharmaceutical industry easily. Although they suffer losses of hundreds of billions every year, they do not dare to completely hand over the pharmaceutical market and have to support it even if they lose money.
At the level of military force, with the gradual improvement of the military industry system, Blacklight Technology's XTN series of machine armies are also constantly updated and iterated. In addition, they landed on Mars and built the first real spaceship. The influence of Blacklight Technology The power has already been enough, and it has gradually become a company that stands in a higher position than the four continents.
Use your own power to defeat the four continents!
"This is just the beginning. After the permanent colony on Mars is established, we will truly be able to overwhelm the Earth Federation..."
Chen Chen stood up and thought silently, "In this way, the leadership of the Black Light Foundation can gradually be tilted towards me. Even if a similar crisis occurs again in the future, I can completely coordinate the power of all mankind to resist the crisis. arrival."
That's right, the reason why Chen Chen wants to overpower the Earth Federation is not for power, but to regain control of the Black Light Foundation. Now that power has reached the point where it no longer has much appeal to Chen Chen, after all, he has already opened up another path to stand on. to the top of the earth.
Just because he is now on an equal footing with the peak powers of the four continents, it can be seen that Chen Chen's power has reached a limit. If he wants to go further, there is only one way, and that is to control the lifeline of the global economy and overpower the Earth Federation!
Blacklight Technology is destined to become a giant company that can control the lifeline of the global economy...
A look of determination appeared in Chen Chen's eyes, and he immediately stood up and walked outside.
Little X on the side immediately followed.
"X."
Chen Chen looked at the young girl next to him and asked calmly, "How is the dilution of compound L stock solution?"
"The dilution pattern has been successfully found."
Xiao Ten, but one bottle of concentrated No. L compound can be diluted into ten bottles."
"This is the best ratio. It is equivalent to the fact that once a bottle of concentrated L compound could only create one-half of a psyker at a time, but now after dilution, the same bottle of dosage can create a psyker." Psykers.”
"indeed so."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "Then sell this diluted No. L compound to the families in the God's Forbidden Zone and the Four Continents. We do not sell it internally and only allow the B·S·S troops to use the concentrated medicine."
"Then we will continue to look for targets from the private sector in the future?"
"certainly."
Chen Chen smiled calmly and said, "And we still have to use the concentrated version for civilian targets, so that when the Earth Federation finds that psykers are still emerging, they will be willing to buy potions from me."
At this point, Chen Chen suddenly thought of something and shook his head with some pity, "As for the 30% mortality rate of the diluted medicine, this is something that can't be helped, and it also effectively curbed those senior executives from injecting the L compound themselves. .”
"After all, there is a one-third mortality rate. Of course these life-loving senior executives will not take the injection."
Little
The two chatted while walking, and then left the Spire Experimental Base.
…
Within five hours, Chen Chen received the application as expected. North America, one of the four continents, sent a message, hoping to reserve 10,000 L compounds in advance.
Chen Chen did not agree immediately, but said that the quantity was a bit large and it might be difficult to supply.
Sure enough, at the sixth hour, the European District and Beihai District also sent messages, hoping to reserve a batch of medicines.
At the same time, Chen Chen's second uncle and uncle also contacted Chen Chen. When Chen Chen did not turn on his phone, they directly contacted Chen Chen's father, hoping to use a back door from Chen Chen's father to sell a batch of the cheapest potions to Zhongzhou. district…
After that, things were no longer limited to the four continents. Blacklight Technology extracted L factor from the blood of those superpowers, and the news that it could produce superpower potions spread like wildfire. It spread to the top of the Earth Federation, and various countries sent them Olive branch, I hope Blacklight Technology can sell them a copy.
Regarding these requirements, Chen Chen simply told the Earth Federation directly, openly admitting that he could make 400 potions a month. If countries wanted to purchase, they must purchase a month's supply at full price, and they were not allowed to purchase twice in a year.
This request immediately disappointed some forces who wanted to hoard and make money, while more forces quickly dispatched their top negotiators to go to the Life Sciences City for negotiations, trying to take the lead in the new round of international situations.
That's right, on the day when Blacklight Technology frankly announced the release of Compound L, the entire Earth Federation's top brass had already noticed an irrefutable fact, that is...
Times have changed, my lord.
