Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 181 Genetic Engineering Research and Development
A Tai brought Tong Rui to his room and said, "You can live here. Send me your dark communication channel and I will give you some basic knowledge."

Tong Rui glanced at A Tai, and the little bear spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't have a secret communication. In fact, I don't even have a genetic system."

A-Tai looked at Tong Rui in shock and said, "You don't even have a genetic system, but your physical fitness is already second generation! Damn, where did this monster come from?"

But A Tai was not without a solution. He took out a tablet-like instrument, operated it for a while, and handed it to Tong Rui.

"If you don't have a genetic system, then use the primitive method to learn. Although it's a bit slow, according to your data, you still have at least tens of thousands of years of life left. This period of time is enough for you to learn."

"Or you can ask the Queen to give you a demon gene. After installing the gene system, you can learn faster."

After Tong Rui took the tablet, he glanced at A Tai and shook his head: "Forget it, I still think my original appearance is better."

After hearing this, A Tai said indifferently, "It seems that you still need some improvement in terms of aesthetics, otherwise you will embarrass us devil brothers when you go out in the future."

Tong Rui looked at the tablet in his hand and saw some books such as "Demon Beauty Picture Book" and "Muscle Training Guide". He was speechless.

He shook his hand, turned around and sat on the chair in his room, flipped through the tablet in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll take a look first. If I don't understand, I'll ask you through the tablet. Go and do your thing."

After hearing this, Atai left without saying anything and returned to the Demon Hall to report to Morgana.

"Queen, this is Tong Rui's data."

Morgana casually flipped through Tong Rui's records and asked, "Is there anything special?"

"We discovered that his body structure is slightly different from that of humans on Earth. During the recording process, the energy in his body operated in a certain fixed way, which seemed to produce a certain degree of amplified mass conversion."

"Oh? With this energy, can we quickly catalyze a batch of first-generation super soldiers? Is this energy replicable?"

"Queen, according to Tong Rui, the source of this energy is from other universes. It is not replicable in this universe, and we have indeed not found any correlation with known types of dark energy."

"Oh? Forget it then. When you need it, just ask that guy for it. Is there any specificity in this energy?"

A-Tai continued to review the experimental results and said, "Queen, based on our comparison of the energy we collected, we found during the experiment that this ball of energy can achieve almost all types of transformations."

"Including but not limited to lightning, flames, water, freezing, etc., it can even compare the annihilation effects of positive and negative particles produced by collisions, as well as the healing ability based on the genetic level, and it can also save computing power to a certain extent."

"The most outrageous thing is that after we convert energy into stellar energy, we can use this energy to influence the activities of stars to a certain extent."

"Damn, this guy is a real god. One energy can simulate so many things, almost even Lieyang's family background. No, Queen, I must win his heart."

With that, Morgana left the Demon Hall, leaving a group of demons behind. They looked at each other and went about their business.

However, in the corner, a demon warrior kept staring at the queen's departing back until she could no longer be seen.

In the room, Tong Rui was looking through some data on a tablet.

By the way, he used the soul guide to classify and summarize what he saw and heard, and made them into books.

"Hmm? Why don't you just look up the information directly? Why make a book out of these basic knowledge?"

Morgana's voice suddenly came. Tong Rui looked up and saw that she had just pushed the door open and walked in, holding a book she had made and flipping through it twice.

"It's not like I don't have subordinates. I'll pass these things back first and let them learn from them."

Tong Rui didn't care about Morgana entering his room casually. As long as it didn't bother him, it didn't matter.

"Why, you want to make a super gene yourself? Although your brain is highly developed, if you continue to learn like this, you will probably have to wait for another 1,800 years."

Tong Rui shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I still have a long life ahead of me, so I don't mind this little bit of time. The genes of the demons are too ugly, I don't want to become like that."

Morgana did not refute. After all, she was also an archangel, and she knew the situation of her subordinates.

"But do you think it's appropriate for you to call her subordinates ugly in front of the Demon Queen?"

Looking at Morgana's unfriendly face, Tong Rui sighed and said, "I really just want to learn some of the latest technology and improve my strength. I have no intention of participating in the war against demons."

"War is the fastest catalyst. If you join the devil, you can also learn the latest technology in the universe. In terms of strength, the devil is enough to rank in the top three in the universe."

Tong Rui knew that as long as he was here, Morgana would not give up.

"The demon's space-time technology is indeed top-notch, but I personally prefer the development direction of the Galaxy Power or the Holy Body."

"Damn, to put it bluntly, you still like those little bitches of Angels." Morgana complained angrily after hearing this.

"How about this, let's make a deal. I can temporarily serve as the backend for your energy output and help you convert the energy into corresponding attributes."

Tong Rui crossed his legs and called up the results of A Tai's test: "I have seen A Tai's experiment. Although I don't have a scientific method to convert energy for the time being, I can convert energy on my own."

"During this period of time, if you need my energy support, you can tell me and I will supply you with unlimited energy."

Morgana looked at Tong Rui, and perhaps she had figured something out, so she smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to supply me for at least 10,000 years."

Tong Rui refused without even thinking: "Ten thousand years, by then I may not even be in this universe, ten years at most."

"Ten years, you're just sending away beggars. A thousand years, it can't be any lower."

Tong Rui remained unmoved: "Do you think Lieyang will unconditionally supply you with stellar energy for ten years?"

"But Lieyang can't teach you the most advanced knowledge."

"I believe Lieyang would like to obtain my energy for ten years. These ten years are enough for them to repair the broken half of the planet."

"Hehe, in a hundred years, I will personally help you make super genes." "It's a deal!" Tong Rui agreed decisively when he heard Morgana help him make super genes.

"Okay, start studying with the queen tomorrow. I'll go back and think about your body first."

A deal that would make space-class civilizations envious and cry was reached in such a plain conversation.

In fact, for Tong Rui, it is not difficult to provide a request for ten thousand years. It is just energy. Tong Rui has as much as he wants.

The Tears of the Void that made Tong Rui so powerful in the Fox Demon World and the Dragon God Core in the Douluo World both continuously provide energy for the Starry Sky Divine Court.

What's more, in just a dozen years, Morgana will be annihilated in this universe by a black hole, so Tong Rui can just break the agreement.

But as a god, Tong Rui must abide by his promise since he has said it, so he must negotiate with Morgana to gain the greatest benefit.

Of course, the final result is that everyone is happy.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Tong Rui said. His star power is unique in this universe. The right to use the energy for ten years is enough for a space-level civilization to mass-produce a generation of super soldiers.

So in a hundred years, Morgana or the demon civilization will definitely make money.

However, Morgana may make a huge profit, but Tong Rui will never lose money.

The next day, Tong Rui came to the Demon Hall, and under the envious eyes of the demons, he had a one-on-one chat with Morgana about the technology of genetic production.

"First, tell me how much you know about super soldiers." Morgana had no intention of perfunctorily answering Tong Rui.

"Well, ship-based space travel relies on speed and fragile life. It is impossible to fly alive from one galaxy to another. Genetic technology and the god-making project have begun."

"Then on this basis, some civilizations will add some of their own technologies, such as star drive, earth control, thunder control, god-killing power and so on." Tong Rui said as he thought.

"Wow, you know a lot. If I hadn't found the data before you came to Earth, I would have thought you were the heir of some force." Morgana said with a playful look on her face.

"The basic knowledge is quite sufficient. So what kind of genes do you want to create for yourself?"

Tong Rui thought for a moment and said, "I have genes that are far superior to those of ordinary people, so I will probably develop in the same way as an angel. I have no shortage of means to output, but I lack a top-notch divine body and background."

Tong Rui was still envious of the genetic technology of the Super God Academy. After all, excluding attack methods, powerful background computing and strong genes could enable a person to quickly embark on the path to becoming a god.

This method of strengthening the body and spirit and combining weapons as a means of attack can be said to be exactly the same as the development path that Tong Rui expected.

"Indeed, with this energy that you call 'star power', as long as you are equipped with a god-killing weapon, you can deal with most of the gods in the universe. The balanced development path of angels is indeed very suitable for you." Morgana nodded in agreement.

"You should have learned about gene editing yesterday. But in genetic engineering, you must first learn how to completely edit the algorithm into the gene."

"Edit the algorithm into the genes. I recommend that you first use single-cell organisms for gene editing. They are relatively simple in genetic composition. Then you can edit a simple dark energy adaptation algorithm."

"When you get to the point where it doesn't crash, you gradually move on to editing on egg-laying organisms and mammals, and then gradually increase the difficulty to simulate simple human editing algorithms."

Tong Rui asked doubtfully: "If we simply increase the gene strength, how can we keep the gene from collapsing? Genes should have a capacity limit, right? How can we connect to the backend after editing?"

Morgana glanced at Tong Rui with appreciation: "It's great that you can think of this. In the early days, we used communication technology and relied on external devices, but when we improve our level to the first generation, we can control dark energy through genes."

"Of the total mass and energy of the known universe, ordinary matter accounts for only 4.9%, dark matter accounts for 26.8%, and dark energy accounts for 68.3%."

"So on this basis, we will add a biological engine, which will be built into everyone's body to connect to the backend, using dark energy as a link to enhance the algorithm's running speed and analysis speed."

Tong Rui said thoughtfully: "So at the beginning of constructing the gene, you need to set the framework to the gene's capacity limit. Then you can gradually put the programs that can be added on the shelf."

"So, the demon warriors have reached their genetic capacity limit, so they have no way to enter the fourth generation of divine body?"

Morgana shook her head. "For some reason, you seem to attach too much importance to the classification of levels. The so-called king level is just a god with celestial-level backing in terms of science and technology, knowledge reserves, technology, and civilization background."

"If your skills and background can crush me, even if you are just a super soldier of the first generation, you can kill me if you have enough energy."

"The so-called 'god' is nothing more than the most advanced technology of a civilization. It is nothing more than the highest technological product of a civilization. It is not difficult for demon warriors to upgrade to the fourth generation of god bodies. All they need to do is find the right fourth generation god body direction and have enough resources."

"The reason why your energy is so surprising to me is that in the process of promotion, excluding the influence of energy, your energy can perfectly replace most resources."

"It's like a shelf. Others may only be able to put two rows of goods in one frame, but you can use energy instead of resources to have one more frame than others."

Tong Rui nodded: "So when we design genes, we can eliminate most of the difficulties through my energy. And my genes themselves do not require any tendencies, so the design process is not complicated?"

"That's right. Your body is different from that of an ordinary super soldier. You can reach the peak of a second-generation soldier simply by relying on star power. So your super gene can be like an angel, adding any direction you want to strengthen at will."

Morgana looked at Tong Rui's data, her eyes full of burning motivation: "In other words, you can definitely have enough space while taking into account the hardness of the divine body and the ease of calculation."

"Look, I found something new at the bottom of your genes." Morgana pulled up a piece of data.

Tong Rui, who had a basic knowledge, could barely understand a little bit: "When energy flows through this section of gene, the energy forms a closed loop. In other words, there is a hidden ability at the bottom of my gene?"

"That's right," Morgana continued, "Based on my analysis of the energy flow in your body these days, I found that you can make the energy that diffuses irregularly in your body flow in a certain direction according to certain rules, so that the energy is edited into a special code in your body."

Tong Rui took over Morgana's words: "That is, it skips engraving the code into the genes and directly guides the energy to prolong life and increase physical strength. In disguise, it has become a simplified version of genetic engineering."

"That's right." Morgana looked at Tong Rui with admiration. "You can be said to be a genius. Under the premise that genetic engineering cannot be solved, you have transformed the content expressed by genetic engineering into a fixed code based on physical talents, through energy manipulation in the body."

"So you have actually analyzed this part of the algorithm quite completely. What remains is to engrave the dark energy conduction into the underlying genes so that your body can utilize the star power to the greatest extent."

Tong Rui looked at the screen with anticipation in his eyes. The hidden abilities at the bottom of the genes were really intriguing.
