Chapter 630: Let's Dig Up the Soviet Union's Legacy! (First Update!)

Brian, who had served in the military for many years and had never been on the front lines, had worked in the logistics department. Before today, he always thought of himself as someone who had seen a lot.

No matter what happens, I won't be surprised!

Even if the president were shot and killed in front of him, he could calmly handle the rest of the matter.

But he had never seen anything like what happened today!

He read the email Benjamin sent him and thought it was the latest Hollywood movie, using the latest special effects technology and new filming techniques, so the whole video looked very realistic, so realistic that even he, the general, couldn't find any mistakes.

But now they're saying that the video is real!

These are images of other people taken by Soldier America during the operation.

Ha ha……

Isn't this a joke?
He took a few deep breaths to calm his shock before cautiously asking Benjamin:

"Are you sure?"

The person on the other end of the phone quickly responded: "General, I'm sure!"

"In First Blood, Rambo, even with exaggerated filming techniques, only dared to wield an M60 machine gun and bombard everything in sight."

"But look at these people in the video, armed with 40mm and 75mm grenade launchers, and with such long range, the recoil would be unbearable, not just for a person, but even for a normal frame."

"They held on!"

"If this isn't a genetically modified human, then what is it?"

"According to intelligence personnel, the relevant technology may have come from the former Soviet Union. What we need to do now is to inform the Ministry of Defense of this intelligence and tell our boring president to give the order."

“Find out the research institutes in the former Soviet Union that may have been engaged in related research, then find where the materials of these institutes are stored, as well as the researchers from that time, and find them all.”

"Finally, we'll find a way to unearth this legacy of the Soviet Union."

"Once we get our hands on it, we can create super soldiers and then use those super soldiers to rule the world."

Florida.

The sea breeze from the North Atlantic rattled the windows and also disrupted Brian's thoughts.

After listening to Benjamin's advice, he did not respond but hung up the phone directly.

Click the mouse, and the video on the computer will start playing again.

The man in the video was tall and muscular, carrying a large-caliber gun and covered in ammunition. He first rescued the hostages, then turned his gun on the terrorists and killed them all.

His formidable combat capabilities and impeccable command execution surpass even those of Rambo in the movies.

For Brian, such soldiers were a rare find, one that was hard to come by.

If America's soldiers were all like that, America would be stronger and more terrifying than it is now!
It would be the undisputed global hegemon, instead of the current situation where these guys are outwardly respectful but secretly stabbing each other in the back.

After watching the video a second time, Brian quickly dragged the playback progress bar to the front and started playing it again.

They are very powerful in combat!
I'll fall in love with you every time I see you!
After the video played for the third time, the general from the Central Theater Command copied the video to a USB drive, packed his things, and instructed his subordinates to prepare a plane for him; he was going to Washington.

Four hours later, the plane landed in Washington. He took the USB drive and immediately went to find President Barack. With President Barack were America's Secretary of Defense, Simmons Ford, Robinson Arles, head of the Department of Defense's Advanced Laboratory, and several representatives temporarily seconded from the medical department.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Brian took out a USB drive and showed it to everyone present.

At first, these people were very dismissive, but after watching the video, everyone's eyes fell on Robinson Arles, and the meaning behind their gazes was very clear:

[Useless! Look at how others are doing!]

Like Brian, they watched the video the first time, then couldn't wait to watch it a second time, and after the second time, they watched it a third time.

When Simmons played the video for the third time, he adjusted the playback speed to 0.1x, and the sound sounded strange.

Watching the slowly playing video, Simmons finally asked the question that had been on his mind, and the person he was asking was Robinson:
"I remember we've had similar research projects all along, and we've allocated a lot of funding for them. How's the progress?"

When asked, Robinson was very straightforward; he shrugged and said:
"Minister, I cannot give you a response!"

"Because I don't know how to describe this!"

The atmosphere at the scene plummeted to freezing point because of his words. Simmons rubbed his forehead and said softly:
"speak nicely!"

"As long as you make progress, everything is negotiable. What I want to ask now is, how many people can support our current experimental progress, as shown in this video?"

“70%？50%？30%？10%？又或者是1%？”

The numbers were gradually decreasing, and the others didn't show any change in expression, but Barack's expression became somewhat unpleasant.

However, his face was originally dark, so others couldn't see it clearly.

Under everyone's gaze, Robinson gently shook his head: "Not even 1%!"

After stating this number, he noticed that the expressions of the people present were not good, so he quickly added:
"Before assigning blame, we need to clarify the definitions of modified humans and genetic enhancement."

"It's hard to define precisely, but it's basically the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger."

“We have been implementing this idea.”

“Our research team is also working towards this idea from different perspectives.”

"On the drug side, they have developed a drug similar to adrenaline injections."

"It can allow a person to unleash extremely strong combat power in a short period of time."

"But this time is only three to five minutes, and it puts a lot of pressure on the heart."

“When we used pigs as test subjects, a 150-kilogram pig showed an increase of about 50% in strength after being injected with the drug. However, this pig only survived for three minutes after the injection.”

"In just three minutes, the white pig turned into a red pig and then died."

"Our people performed an autopsy and found that the pig died from excessive pressure on its heart."

"Almost all of the pig's blood vessels were ruptured, and the blood in the capillaries had burst through the blood vessels and entered the body."

"Later, we adjusted the dosage of the drug and, after achieving great success with the pigs, we found a few homeless people and injected them with a reduced dosage of the drug."

"After their injections, they all showed exceptional physical abilities, but none of them survived."

"The fastest homeless man to die died in just 5 minutes."

"The last homeless man to die lived 30 minutes longer than the first one."

"This is medicine!" "And then there are genes..."

"Research in this area is more... how should I put it..."

"It's even harder to say!"

Listening to the person in charge's hesitant speech, Barack called his secretary and served everyone present a cup of coffee.

After finishing a cup of coffee, the person in charge seemed to have gathered his thoughts before continuing:
"In terms of genes, humans share up to 60% similarity with bananas and up to 65% similarity with fruit flies."

"There are too many gene sequences for us to fully grasp. What we call gene editing and modification is nothing more than finding genes that make humans prone to disease and then interfering with those genes."

"Based on these studies, we have developed some gene repair agents that can help treat some genetic diseases."

"But it's of no use to us."

"When that approach didn't work, we started trying gene editing."

"As I just mentioned, gene editing involves deleting genes that might cause diseases, and then developing the embryo..."

The overly technical language left the group of people around him dumbfounded. Realizing that these people only wanted to know the result, Robinson changed his approach:
"We artificially cultivated an embryo."

"But the growth cycle of nurtured life is too long!"

"The embryo developed in the device for 13 months before finally reaching the normal development standard. After data testing confirmed that the data was acceptable, we released the embryo."

"We named this newborn embryo Noah, hoping that he, like Noah's Ark, will bring us hope."

"But no, after this 13-month developmental period comes the embryonic infancy stage, which is the same as a normal human baby!"

"We need to eat, drink, and relieve ourselves; we need to grow!"

"He doesn't grow into an adult in a very short time just by being given nutrient solution, as depicted in the movies."

“He grows very slowly, and because he is a gene-edited baby and was raised in a laboratory environment, he is prone to illness, and every time he gets sick, we are exhausted from dealing with it.”

"In the 14th month, we tried to let Noah, who was already able to stand up gradually, accept nature."

"But after just a few breaths of outside air, he developed an allergic reaction and died!"

"After Noah died, we began to cultivate the second generation of embryos, Eve."

"The embryo is now nine months old, and according to the normal procedure, it should be born next month."

"What Noah went through, Eve will go through again."

"All of this research shows that, even with the most optimistic estimate, it will take at least 16 years to develop a qualified genetic warrior."

"So you're asking me to answer? I can't answer!"

Robinson's words made Simmons' face twitch violently. He turned around, glared fiercely at the people from the medical department beside him, and said:

"Don't tell anyone about this!"

The people in the medical department knew exactly why Simmons said that, and in order to keep their jobs, they nodded frantically, indicating that they would not tell anyone.

Having received nods from these people, Simmons turned around and stared at Robinson:
"The research funding for the corresponding project will be reduced by half, that's it!"

Throughout the entire conversation, Barack never commented on Robinson's words.

Because he was already getting a headache, a headache because Congress, after learning about these super soldiers, was questioning him about where the research funding had gone.

In the deathly silence, Brian spoke up: "Then can you explain the people in the video from a scientific point of view?"

"Why are their physical abilities so strong!"

"Judging from the images shown, they seem to have no sense of fatigue."

The topic circled back to Robinson, who felt like dying. He held his forehead in his hand and after a long while, he whispered:
"In the last century, practicing martial arts was very popular in the Chinese army."

"That's the kung fu you see in the movies."

"But not the kind of fancy kung fu, but real, practical kung fu that strengthens the body."

"The CIA should know this all too well, since they have many informants who have personally tried that kind of skill after being exposed."

"According to our research, the kind of physical strengthening techniques are very effective when a person is in their prime, greatly improving their physical strength. However, when they get old, that is, when their physical functions decline, they will cause great damage to their body."

"General Brian just mentioned that, according to intelligence personnel on the front lines, it is possible that China obtained the results left behind by a former Soviet biological laboratory."

"Then we can boldly speculate that the research results obtained by China can repair the damage caused by cultivation."

"It allows them to cultivate even stronger skills."

"Or, we could let them practice skills that would improve their physical fitness."

"The two came together very cleverly, and that's how we ended up seeing this."

"This is the only possibility I can think of!"

They wanted to refute Robinson's hypothesis, but didn't know how.

After all, Robinson is considered one of the world's top experts in the field of gene research.

If he says it's impossible, then it's impossible!
The last assumption he made was actually the most likely one.

After all, the skill of kung fu is undeniable. Those who have mastered kung fu possess greater strength, faster reaction speed, and greater destructive power than ordinary people.

Before kung fu appeared in Hollywood, the fighting in Hollywood movies was very formulaic, looking weak and lacking any entertainment value.

However, after the advent of kung fu, Hollywood fight scenes became more visually appealing.

Kung Fu is an objective reality.

Therefore, the biological research achievements of the Soviet Union should also exist.

If America obtains the corresponding research results, puts in some effort, and studies diligently, she too can possess a similar super soldier.

Once these soldiers are trained and equipped with sufficient gear, they can be deployed to the battlefield.

America is invincible, truly invincible!
They are even more invincible than the people in the video portray.

Thinking of that scene, Barack and the others couldn't help but laugh.

After they laughed, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.

It's time to dig up the old graves of the Soviet Union and unearth the relics within!
