End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 87 Awakening Defects, Tiger Spinosaurus Corpse
Lin Feng has always been reluctant to contact Ding Chenghai. On the one hand, he is in the research institute, and his research on Zerg and superpowers may reveal his secrets...

On the other hand, this guy has long shown his interest in synthesizing his own superpowers.

But the situation is urgent now. Qin Hu is unconscious, and Lin Feng needs to confirm some things from him.

I called and it took a long time for the call to be connected. Then Fatty Ding's familiar rough voice came out:
"You finally got the nerve to call me. What's the matter? Did you encounter any problems in your promotion to the second level?"

Lin Feng hummed and asked:
"Is it convenient to talk now?"

Ding Chenghai's voice gradually lowered:

"No problem, I ran outside. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There are no surveillance cameras here."

Lin Feng directly introduced Qin Hu's situation:

"Can the second-level awakening repair a broken limb?"

Ding Chenghai pondered for a while, recalling the case materials he had read:

"It shouldn't be possible. The situation you described is quite special. The whole leg is broken, and the severed limb has not been found yet."

"The latest data is that there was a case in the capital where a forearm was broken and restored directly during the second stage of evolution through suturing and connection."

"But according to what you said, Major Qin has made great contributions. It's just a broken leg, not a terminal illness. The higher-ups won't let him go easily. He can definitely be saved..."

"It's just that it's very difficult to grow a new leg after the wound is repaired."

"The most important thing right now is that humanity's current second-order awakening through insecticide is incomplete."

"To put it in a simpler and easier way, humans actually have some kind of flaw, which causes our final attribute enhancements after the first stage of awakening to not reach perfection."

"Without using super powers, a first-stage late-stage black-spine worm is far stronger than a human of the same level..."

"I thought you called about this."

"This is also the latest discovery of the institute, and it cannot be leaked yet."

The more Lin Feng listened, the more he frowned:

"You mean, because of the flaws of humans, even if we kill a second-level Zerg, we still can't achieve a complete second-level awakening."

"Only physical and mental improvement?"

Ding Chenghai nodded:

"Yes, there have been cases of killing second-order Zerg in various places, and several powerful second-order awakeners have appeared. However, the data calculated shows that they are much weaker than the second-order Zerg, and most of them are physically enhanced. There are very few awakeners with psychic powers..."

Lin Feng thought about it carefully. For a lv19 awakener, the upper limit of physical and mental strength is 150. For a first-stage late-stage black-spine insect or green-winged insect, although the mental value is low, the physical strength is 190.

The second-level Zerg they evolved from had a physical fitness of over 200, which was indeed one-fourth stronger than humans.

“Is there any way to remedy this shortcoming?”

Lin Feng thought of the limit-breaking situation he had encountered, and then asked:

"Is there a situation where the limit is broken? I see that those awakened ones with enhanced physique can increase their physique by 30%. The explosive power of the late first stage is not much different from that of the late black-spine insect..."

Ding Chenghai took a deep breath:
"Yes, but those all rely on the blessing of super powers. If you want to break through the basic attribute values, you have to change it from the bottom-level biotechnology level."

“Fundamentally, enhancing the evolutionary potential of humanity.”

Lin Feng caught a glimpse of Shen Jie and the others in the distance, and had a vague guess in his heart:

"You mean, start with the Zerg?"

Ding Chenghai did not respond and remained noncommittal. There were some things he could reveal, but some confidential information, especially those involving secret research projects that violated certain bans, he could only mention vaguely.

Lin Feng knew the rules well, so he didn't ask any more questions and instead talked about his other purpose:

"How is the research on the utilization of Zerg biological materials going?" New weapons and equipment are Ding Chenghai's main research direction. When he heard about this, he immediately became interested:
"The woman you specially escorted last time... her name was Yurou..."

Lin Feng was speechless:
"My name is Zhang Yurou."

Ding Chenghai said indifferently:

"The name is not important. The key is the biological armor you gave her. It is made from the carapace of a scarlet beetle, right? We can already make a preliminary imitation of it now."

"The research institute will be temporarily named Chijia."

"A mature cutting assembly line has been built in our rear factory. In three days at the latest, a large number of sets of red armor will be sent to the front line to be equipped to our federal soldiers."

"Currently, there are three levels of red armor. The first level is derived from ordinary early-stage red beetles, which can only defend against pistols or small-caliber rifle bullets. The third-level armor is made of the carapace of late-stage red beetles mixed with fine steel. It can even withstand the attack of the giant jaws of first-stage black-spine insects..."

"This way, our soldiers won't be so vulnerable and passive when facing the sudden attack of the black-spine worms."

Lin Feng nodded. It had only been about a week since the Zerg invasion, and the humans’ reaction speed was not slow, which was within his expectations.

"That's fine. If we can make use of the spoils we have, it will reduce the pressure on logistics supply."

Ding Chenghai kicked the gravel at his feet. The frontline research institute was located in the suburbs of Jincheng, and it was deserted:
"It's all thanks to you. But now the factory that makes Chijia is in the hands of your sister-in-law, so don't ask us for intellectual property fees..."

Lin Feng laughed and then asked:

"How is your research progress on the black-backed insects and green-winged insects? And the second-level tiger-backed insects."

Ding Chenghai was a smart man and quickly guessed the meaning of Lin Feng's words:

"I just received news that the Thirteenth Division has a newly acquired tiger-backed worm corpse..."

"Is this the real reason why you called?"

Lin Feng nodded and admitted:
"I have no reason to ask the Thirteenth Division directly, and the Major Qin, who I have a good relationship with, is now in a coma due to serious injuries."

"If he could wake up earlier, he wouldn't have to bother you."

Ding Chenghai hesitated for a moment and replied:
"That thing will indeed be transported back to the research institute. We know very little about the Tier II Zerg right now. This fresh corpse is extremely valuable. It can help us understand the structure of the Tier II Zerg and analyze their weaknesses."

"Of course, the Thirteenth Division is not given away for free. We need to provide research materials and the latest experimental technology."

"There are also three-level red armors that will be shipped soon. They also requested that they be supplied first and equipped simultaneously with the troops in the capital."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, knowing that he couldn't get it for free, and replied:
"Corpses are dead after all. No matter how much you study them, they are useless. I can provide you with a large number of living insects for various experiments..."

After hearing Lin Feng's conditions, Ding Chenghai was somewhat moved:
"There's no need for low-level red beetles. The research institute has plenty of them. If it's a first-level black-spine beetle, or even a hard-to-catch green-winged beetle..."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows:
"Five black-backed live insects and one green-winged live insect."

"Just exchange the tiger spine worm's giant jaws, its trunk and brain structure, and you can keep them for yourself."

Ding Chenghai thought about it and realized that the tiger spine worm's giant jaw only needed to be sampled and its composition and hardness measured and analyzed. There was no direction for in-depth research.
Used to exchange for a first-level living insect...

Definitely good value for money.

So I agreed directly.

"Okay, I estimate that the tiger spine worm corpse will be delivered this afternoon, and the transaction can be carried out tomorrow night."

Lin Feng nodded, reached an agreement and hung up the phone.

After finishing one of my worries, a reminder that the armored vehicle upgrade was complete appeared in front of me:

"Winged Chariot lv16/19, red quality"
