Chapter 69 Improving Biological Research, The Wounded (Please read on, recommend, and vote!)

Several hundred meters away, inside a sterile laboratory.

Li Xiang wore double-layered protective gloves and moved with the gentleness of someone handling a rare treasure.

He carefully took a pure white mouse out of the temperature-controlled cage.

This mouse was given an "artificial cold" a few days ago.

Now its fur is smooth, its eyes are bright, and it is full of vitality.

"Come here, little hero, let me see the miracle inside your body."

Li Xiang spoke almost in a murmur, then skillfully drew a drop of blood from its tail vein.

He put the mouse back in its cage and immediately sent the blood sample into the analyzer.

On the pale blue screen, the data began to refresh...

Li Xiang's breathing involuntarily stopped.

The bright red numbers on the screen brought a smile to his face.

"Cell activity has increased!"

"Hemoglobin oxygen-carrying capacity is stable above the healthy peak level!"

"The proliferation rate and targeting ability of immune cells are also quite good!"

As he muttered to himself, a strange cry suddenly rang out beside him.

"Hahaha……"

"What's the matter?"

"Hey, the strong acid reaction of the ink from the otherworldly giant octopus is very interesting. If it can be biomimeticized, I think it could be used as a new solid fuel."

"Can it be used in the aerospace field?"

"Yes, solid rockets, engines, and even particle detonation engines can be used! The chain reaction of this thing is very interesting, and under normal temperature conditions, its safety is more stable than TNT."

"Wow, this is a remarkable discovery. Those chemists will probably love it. By the way, does the Octopus Skin Group have anything good?"

"Not for now. Studying that thing is too troublesome, but the specimens have been sent to the modern world for intensive research."

"Octopus skin has great research value; I wonder what good things can be learned from it."

Li Xiang listened to his colleagues' whispers, then took out a piece of octopus cell tissue that had been soaked in nutrient solution and was still alive, and threw it in front of a hungry mouse.

The mouse sniffed it, then crunched and swallowed the octopus meat.

"Sweetie, eat well, we'll give you another tube later~"

"Feed the mice?"

The voice came from behind Li Xiang.

Li Xiang turned around and saw that it was Professor Deng Dakang: "Hello, Professor Deng!"

"Yes, everything's fine! Li Xiang, have the data from your control group come out yet?"

"They're all out."

He quickly handed over a handwritten summary report.

"In all fifty control groups, whether mammals (mice, monkeys), birds, or rodents, a highly efficient recovery was observed. Although very weak, barring unforeseen circumstances, these vital signs are all trending towards stronger...optimization!"

Deng Dakang adjusted his thick glasses, his gaze sweeping over the miraculous data, a fervent light flashing in his eyes.

"I knew it! I knew it! The rich magical elements of another world are like a powerful tonic for carbon-based life forms in our world."

"Not only inorganic matter, but also organic matter; everything is changing, and the potential of magical elements is immense!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang took a deep breath and suppressed the smile on his face: "Professor Deng, the results of the animal experiments have far exceeded expectations. How is your research on the supernatural power itself progressing?"

As soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, many of the experimental staff looked at Deng Dakang.

His research topic is of great interest to many people.

Treating the sick and saving lives is just the beginning; countless surprises and miracles have occurred in this world.

The allure of extraordinary power is too great!

"The analysis of extraordinary power is still too far away. It requires a better understanding of microscopic matter and more control groups to know for sure."

Deng Dakang turned around and took out a transparent plastic bag. Inside were some things that looked very familiar to Li Xiang!

"Here, take this and analyze it."

Deng Datong handed it to Li Xiang.

"What's this?" Li Xiang asked curiously as he took it.

Deng Dakang's lips curled into a smile: "My excrement~"

Li Xiang: "..."

After watching Professor Deng Dakang leave, Li Xiang took a few deep breaths and looked around, finding that his colleagues were all very busy.

Until I saw a young college student researching cattle and horses.

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, come here, let me help you with your load!"

In the combat team's camp not far away.

"...Our battalion is doing well. We now have three combat wounded and ten non-combat wounded. Some of these unlucky guys have sprained ankles, and some have even burned their hands. When the battalion commander found out, his face turned black... Ankang, take good care of your injuries. We'll come back to visit you after we finish our mission here!"

"Squad Leader Yue, is this okay?" Afa took out the memory card containing the recorded video and handed it to his squad leader.

"Alright, now Ankang can see it. Haha, that kid must be so bored he's practically bursting with boredom!"

Yue Zidu smiled and nodded, then handed these items over to his comrades who were transporting supplies back and forth with friendly forces.

They were from Li Jingze's battalion, the second batch of battalion-level combined arms units to enter the other world.

With the defense network recently completed, the soldiers, now with more free time, have started holding squad gatherings. They exchange ideas, and the instructors provide psychological support and help them adjust their mindset.

At the end of the gathering, An Kang, the only injured member of the group, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

The logistics department will transport supplies back and forth this time. They have applied to contact the wounded soldiers for their well-being and will return to visit them when the time is right.

A few hours later~
In the modern world, in the hospital ward.

Ankang, who was on an IV drip, was watching a video recording sent from the front lines by his comrade Afa.

"Ankang, everything is fine here. The battalion commander has given us a new mission: to cover the miners' emergency mining operations. I don't know why, but those bone fragments keep hiding and ambushing us, and they've increased the frequency of their attacks. Luckily, our weapons are very effective..."

"...We didn't find your beast-eared girl, but we heard from the battalion commander that the drone unit discovered a primitive tribe in another world. The battalion commander said that those primitive people are less than 200 kilometers away from us. It's a historic new discovery."

"Deputy Commander Su said that in the coming period, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine who can carry out the mission of exploring the savage tribe."

"Our unit is the best, the strongest! We can definitely find them. By the time your injuries are healed in a few months..."

"...By the way, your injury seriously affected our best combat unit's KPI score for exploring this other world. The battalion commander got a good scolding from the brigade commander..."

"Tsk tsk, our class is really unlucky... Anyway, we must do a better job than our allies in this mission! Okay, stop nagging us, we'll come back to see you when we have time."

Looking at the video message sent by his comrade, An Kang took a deep breath, and a sharp pain immediately shot through the broken ribs.

"When will this end... I really want to go back to the battlefield and carry out a mission!"

Seeing Ankang's melancholy demeanor, a worker who had just been brought in yesterday asked in bewilderment, "Ankang, isn't it better to lie down?"

"You don't understand! The longer you stay here, the more you want to go out."

Ankang played the video recorded by his comrade Afa again, and his longing to return to the army grew even stronger.

"I feel great lying here. I have plenty to eat and drink, and I can even watch TV! It's awesome!"

The injured worker wiped the gauze off his forehead and shoulder, then looked at the television.

Yesterday, while he was on a mission, the snowstorm suddenly intensified, and then they were attacked.

Although they eventually wiped out the attacking Skull Scraps, he was tragically injured in the forehead and shoulder by shrapnel from a grenade thrown by his coworker.

If it weren't for the protective suit he was wearing, which mitigated some of the damage, he probably would have been the first to die.

After being honorably discharged as a wounded soldier and given two weeks of leave, he felt a chill of fear whenever he thought about what happened yesterday…

　I recommend a book; it's by an established author, so the quality is guaranteed!

　　I'm a cannon fodder from the Third Shinobi World War, about to graduate from Naruto.

　　The family is full of paranoia, and Uchiha Yoru feels a lot of pressure.

　　But it doesn't matter. Let the hypocritical Third Hokage see what a true inheritor of the Will of Fire is!
