Ben and the fat old man were standing in front of an unremarkable door in a long, dark corridor. However, this place was five hundred meters below Asgard. The corridor behind them was quiet, and there was no sign of anyone, but the monitors hidden in the blind corners and walls kept a full record of every pa.s.sing person.

Asgard's central intellectual brain allocated 10% of its energy to monitor the corridor. Anyone who appeared in the corridor would immediately be compared with the information stored in the intellectual brain database. The moment someone appeared who didn't have the authority, the corridor would instantly produce close to 100 30 cm thick alloy armor plates. Those deemed "trespa.s.sers" would be separated by decks, and a nearby guard would arrive at the scene within five seconds. And among these guards, there were ten of them all year round. For an average city, a powerhouse of the eighth step was an unimaginable figure. Only Asgard would be able to make these people stay in this dark base all year round, and there would be more than ten of them.

Aside from these ten powerhouses of the eighth step, there were over a hundred of others of the seventh to fifth step. As for the number of ordinary soldiers, it was as high as three thousand. For this era, such a configuration was enough to wipe out many cities and towns. However, this troop was only there to guard the super biochemical experiment facility that had the same area as Asgard.

As for Ben and the chubby old man, they were currently in the core area of the experiment lab. To be able to reach this area, there were only three people in the whole of Asgard.

One of them was Ben, the person with the highest authority in Asgard. The other was the chubby old man who was also the director of this experimental base, Dr. Rafael. The last one was one of the successors that Ben had groomed. He was also one of the five Sovereigns, War G.o.d Tyre.

If the Twelve Sovereigns' Hall was the place where Asgard's soul resided, then the room behind the door in front of Ben was his brain. The room behind the door was not only an important computer room for the central intelligence system, but also a private office for Professor Rafiel. Only after the fat old man was carefully verified did this seemingly ordinary door slowly open.

It is first indented inwards 10 cm and then centrally separated. Only then did the doors on both sides shrink back into the wall to the left and right. Only then could he see that the door was made of wood and the alloy was very hard in the middle. Moreover, it was not an ordinary alloy. Its density was about 20 times that of an ordinary alloy and its weight was close to 100 tons. If it weren't for the switch control of the hydraulic machines hidden in the walls, it would have been impossible to separate them with just the power of a human being, unless one possessed a strength of at least the ninth step.

When the door was completely opened, what appeared in Ben's eyes was a circular s.p.a.ce of about 500 square meters. In this circular office, the walls were filled with countless light screens that formed the office's special walls. There was an ordinary chair placed in the middle of the office, and on the back of the chair was a piece of metal connected to the ceiling. This was the lift for the chair, and although it was shaped like a square steel tube, it could be used to control the chair and lift it up into the air when needed by the doctor.

The office was over a hundred meters high, and as the doctor rose into the air, the ceiling and the lights on the ground would go out, making him turn around as if he were in s.p.a.ce. Behind the chair was a helmet with countless cables attached to it. Through the sensors in the helmet, the doctor was able to operate the central brain with his own thoughts to deduce or extract whatever information he needed.

As Ben walked into the office, he looked up and saw that the wall of light corresponded to the different experimental areas of the base. Each experimental area was divided into nearly a hundred images to achieve the goal of non-dead angle observation. Every experiment area had different research projects. With a sweep of his eyes, he saw living corpses, mutated insects, giant beasts, and even mutated plants.

The reason for the existence of this super biochemical laboratory was to study all kinds of mutated organisms and even capable people. Under the auspices of Dr. Rafiel, researchers would extract genes from various experimental targets and recombine them to create controllable biological weapons. The number of different life forms and their numbers determine the pattern of gene combinations in thousands. However, not all combinations could give birth to new life and transform it into a biological weapon. In the cultivation tanks that could be seen everywhere, oddities and ancient corpses could be seen all the time.

They were failures of genetic combinations, and in almost infinite combinations, the chances of success were minimal. This seemed to make people unable to understand what was happening. Asgard had invested a lot of resources to obtain these failures, so there seemed to be no need to continue this experiment. However, Ben thought that once the factors of failure were removed, success wouldn't be far off.

The results proved that he was right. After failing gene combinations were rejected and archived, the researchers who gradually grasped the laws of combination breeds and numbers finally succeeded in creating two types of biological weapons in the spring of this year.

On the wall to Ben's left, there were two large screens, each displaying a culture slot.

In the image on the left, this culture tank was abnormally huge. It was ten times the width of an ordinary culture tank and was around two hundred meters in length. Inside the incubator was a dark green base fluid, within this green base fluid, there was an equally large shadow. This was a biological weapon that was named as the Steel Fortress. It had the appearance of an ancient mammoth. However, it had biological armor on its head, back, chest, and limbs. What was even weirder was that there were two protruding skeletons on the back of the biological weapon. They were biological rapid-fire cannons that were not fully formed yet.

This was a semi-finished steel fortress. When it was finally completed, the steel fortress would have both defensive and offensive characteristics. Its biological armor would cover its entire body, and its hardness was three times that of its alloy armor. Its defensive power was equivalent to a powerhouse of the fifth step, making it very difficult to kill this steel fortress. The two cannons that would eventually form on the back of the steel fortress would blast out the biological weapon. This would enable the steel fortress to attack and defend the biological weapon that was an attack type weapon.

However, according to Professor Lafite's design, the defensive strength of the steel fort should be equal to that of a Seventh Order warrior, and his body should not be a rapid-fire cannon, but a biological beam cannon. The Beam Cannon would have both Penetration and Sputtering effects. The attack interval was 3 seconds, with 2 seconds of cooldown and 1 second of charge. And these numbers were all inferred from rigorous deductions.

However, when it was a true genetic combination, for some unknown reason, the originally strict data had actually been changed. Not only did its defence level drop, the biological cannon it was carrying had also turned into a rapid-fire cannon. It could be said that it was an incomplete version of a steel fortress.

The other biological weapon on the screen was a wolf-shaped creature known as the Sentinel. The Sentinel was similar in size to the Finlay and had a body of black waterfall hair. It floated in the same green base fluid, with tiny dots of fluorescence radiating from the roots of each hair to the end. From afar, the sentry looked like a burning black flame.

The sentry's eyes were closed, but a vertical pupil appeared in the center of his forehead. The vertical pupil was composed of countless concentric circles. If one looked carefully, they would see that these concentric circles were arranged in rows of numbers. This eye records everything the sentinel sees, and it naturally emits a special wave energy. When the wave energy is received and decrypted, the scene seen by the sentinel is restored.

The Sentinel has the advantage of speed and record-keeping, and its mode of attack is to convert biological energy into black flames and spray them out of the wolf's mouth to attack the enemy. The black flames were also at a high temperature of five hundred degrees, and they were also viscous. Once tainted by the black flames, it would be very difficult to extinguish them all. But compared to a fortified steel fortress, the sentry's attack was relatively weak, and it was easy to kill if it was not proficient in defense.

This was also an incomplete version of the biological weapon. According to Professor Rafiel's design, the sentry should be a h.o.m.o erectus type similar to the werewolves in order to adapt to more and more complicated terrain. A full version of the Sentinel can eject light claws condensed from high energy and can cut through ordinary alloy armor. And werewolf sentries have efficient food digestion systems that can extract energy from almost anything to provide their own activity.

This form of sentinel can penetrate deep into enemy territory for a long time and is difficult to detect. Unlike an incomplete version of a sentry, it required a large amount of food to maintain the energy it required to move. This way, the enemy could easily discover its existence.

However, no matter what, the Steel Fortress and Sentinel were still a masterpiece of Asgard's era. With them, Asgard was the second city to possess a biological weapon, after Asmoe, in the far north of Iceland, although the two cities had different definitions of biological weapons.

As long as there is a period of time before the data collection, error correction. It could be expected that the complete version of the biological weapon would appear soon, or they could be ma.s.s-produced with the help of two incomplete versions of the biological weapon. The intelligence of biological weapons was similar to that of a seven year old child. It could recognize simple instructions. In terms of abilities, they couldn't even match up to someone with a high level ability, and even someone with a middle level ability wouldn't be able to match them. Their potential has been determined since the beginning of creation, depending on the fusion degree of the original genes and their combinations.

For example, the defensive power and strength of an iron fortress was equivalent to a powerhouse of the fifth step, and even if it was released, it wouldn't be able to raise its level, until the end of its life, the iron fortress could only maintain the power of the fifth step. It would not increase or regress. This was a special characteristic of biological weapons. Maybe Asgard could create higher level biological weapons, but he couldn't create a life form that could evolve on its own. After all, that was the domain of a G.o.d.

"Look here, old friend."

Professor Rafiel's voice interrupted Ben's thoughts, and he smiled at him. The fat old man put on the sensor helmet and repeated the instructions in his mind. The screen in front of them seemed to have been pushed aside by an invisible hand, revealing a ten-meter-wide screen in the middle.

The screen went black at first, and then countless numbers rose from the bottom, so fast that even Ben found it difficult to capture them. And below these streams of data, there was a golden progress bar. At this moment, the rapidly moving data on the screen would suddenly freeze, and then a certain data would be extracted, floating into the progress bar below.

With every entry, the progress bar struggled forward just a little bit. However, information was constantly extracted from the data stream. Therefore, although it was slow, the progress bar was moving forward at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. This movement lasted for about ten minutes. No information appeared in the data stream, and the progress bar also stopped.

The progress bar was divided into seven levels, representing 107 levels of gene locks. At present, the progress bar stops at a relatively close distance from the secondary gene lock. It was so close that it seemed like it would leap over it at any moment, but in reality, it had stopped. He let the image on the light screen skip a little due to the electronic image, giving off the impression that the progress bar was still moving. But he couldn't fool Ben. He stared at it for a full minute, comparing the images at a rate of one frame per second. The progress bar was not more than a millimeter apart.

"What's going on?" Ben asked.

"Ever since Zero came to Asgard, his gene lock progress bar has not moved forward. Only yesterday, after completing a project's research, did I come back to find that his progress bar had begun to move forward. " Rafiel said excitedly, "You know, although I can get the progress bar going by filling in some data, so that I can predict the genetic trend of zero from G.o.d, the direction of ability development, and so on. But the process was lengthy, c.u.mbersome, and easy to encoder. Even with the a.s.sistance of the central intellectual brain, the progress bar for the past two months was only a bit less than 1%. But tomorrow, I found out that it's increased by 10%! A full ten percent! Old friend, this also makes the distance between Zero's current progress and the level 2 genetic lock at only 4%. "

Ben smiled. He knew Rafiel. The progress bar was exciting, but there was more to it than that.

As expected, Rafiel used his sensor helmet to continue giving commands to the intellectual brain. As a result, the light screen in the middle shrunk and several more ordinary light screens moved towards them. Some of these screens contained numerical formulas that Ben couldn't understand, while others were complicated. Some of them had gene sequences that were different from those of humans, while some of them had three-dimensional models of biological weapons that Ben had never seen before.

"These are?"

"Revelation!" Rafiel took off his sensor helmet and said excitedly, "I've separated a lot of information from the a.n.a.lysis I got from the zero-order bar. It's hard to imagine, old friend, that the ten-percent time bar contains almost all the genes, all the life, all the knowledge I don't understand. It is not an exaggeration to say that it represents another world! "

"Zero's progress bar is the key to opening a new world!" "A small fraction of the data a.n.a.lysed can be immediately applied to our current research project," said Rafiel, pointing to the smaller progress bar screen. For example, the gene complement of biological weapons, as well as the genetic combinations that we never thought of. "There are more that need to be studied before a conclusion can be drawn."

"That's enough." Ben slapped Rafiel on the shoulder and said, "You're right, old friend. Zero is a new creation, a successful union between man and G.o.d. I can almost foresee that the end point of his evolution is the ultimate form of life that our theoretical h.o.m.o sapiens, or Atlantis, envisioned but not realized. Whether we can reach that stage will depend on you, and you have the ability to do so without being inferior to Professor Halson! "

The excitement on the fat old man's face gradually died down as soon as he heard Halsen's name. He thought for a moment, then bitterly smiled and shook his head, "If it's theoretical knowledge, I don't think I would lose to my teacher, and even surpa.s.s him. But the teacher once said, we do the most scientific and rigorous work, but also need the imagination of a child. I know I won't lose to my teacher, but I don't have the imagination, old friend. "This d.a.m.ned world has squeezed out all of my fantasies about it. I can only look at the present and not the future!"

The seriousness in Professor Rafiel's voice made Ben smile. But moments later, his smile widened as he shouted, "If this road is filled with thorns, I'm willing to go with you!"

These were the words that used to encourage each other among their friends. Now that Ben had said it out loud, it was especially touching. Lafite forced a smile and said, "You still remember, now think about it." The days were hard, but we lived well. At least now you don't have to worry about starving to death, but you and Oglock have already fallen out. Really, I can't tell now which life I like better, between the past and the present. "

"Nonsense thinking will only distract us, old friend." Ben sighed. "The current Oglock is no longer the him of the past. The Oglock who upholds democracy and freedom is already dead. The only one alive now is the Head of the Dark Council, Hei Hei." As you know, Orog did not want a free country, but a feudal dynasty that respected him. If he was allowed to do so, there would be no democracy on the continent for a long time. Look at the people outside, old friend. They were not easy at Asgard, but at least they had their dignity. If Oglock were to rule, then what difference would there be between them and sheep and cattle? "

"I understand." Rafael smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have broken off the relations.h.i.+p with him with you back then." In order to avoid the same situation as thirty years ago, when countless lives fell, I will spend these thirty years desperately studying biological weapons, hoping to use them in place of living warriors. You know, my major is not in biochemistry. "

Pausing for a moment, Rafael sighed, "Now, I really admire Professor Willow, who was as famous as my teacher back then. I relied on my teacher's notes to achieve some accomplishments in the area of biological weapons. At that time, he had imagined the terrifying biological weapon of a pioneer. If not for the arrival of the day of the Cataclysm, perhaps Professor Willost's first move would have been made public. "

"That's right. If we can find out the experimental data of these pioneers, then our research on biological weapons will be much less complicated." He did not know that because of the lack of information, Asgard and the pioneer were at odds with each other.
