Chapter 209 On the right track
That's not necessarily true...

These four words were like a thunderclap, exploding loudly in the deathly silent control room.

Leng Feng and Liao Zhong, who had been in despair and whose breathing was heavy with frustration, suddenly shuddered and their eyes focused on Zhuge Qing.

"However, it will take some time..."

After all, we formed this organization precisely to study these things, didn't we?"

Zhuge Qing smiled. He didn't explain in detail, but the deep confidence in his eyes had an undeniable power.

While modern medicine has no solution, he possesses more advanced biotechnology, making it not impossible to recreate a complete set of organs.

He will gradually release these technologies in his subsequent research.

Secondly, there is the miracle that exists in this world itself—the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

According to the information he possessed, the "Dual-Handed Technique" was a method that could directly interfere with the soul and the body.

There are two clues to acquiring this extraordinary skill, both of which will take time, at least until he has completely built the framework of the behemoth "South Heavenly Gate" and has his own team.

Hearing Zhuge Qing confirm that there was a solution, Leng Feng's heart, which was on the verge of exploding from rage and helplessness, finally calmed down a little.

He exhaled a long breath, his chest still heaving violently, but the bloodshot in his eyes had faded somewhat.

"Moreover, compared to physical problems..."

"I think the child's psychological issues are more difficult and troublesome."

Zhuge Qing changed the subject.

"That's true..."

Liao Zhong's gaze returned to the small figure sitting quietly on the screen.

That child, who was clearly enduring the cruelest form of torture in the world, showed not a trace of pain on his tender face; it was as empty as an abyss.

In a sense, this kind of spiritual desolation is more despairing than the collapse of the body.

Even if a body whose "humanity" has been completely destroyed is healed, what is left?

"So, this child is in your care."

Zhuge Qing presented the two with what seemed like an ordinary task, saying:
"Before we figure out a treatment for her body, let's find a way to... restore her responsiveness to the outside world."

Leng Feng and Liao Zhong exchanged a glance, both seeing a heavy sense of responsibility and a hint of determination in each other's eyes.

They nodded solemnly, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

With this matter temporarily settled, Zhuge Qing immediately threw himself into an even grander undertaking.

He led his technical team, headed by Meng Delu, also known as "Old Meng" in the original novel, and plunged into the massive amount of data seized from the Medicine Immortal Society.

The method of cultivating Gu is similar to what he knows.

Hundreds or even thousands of poisonous insects and creatures are placed in a specially made container, forcing them to devour and kill each other, with the fittest surviving.

During this process, the Gu Master needs to continuously nourish the Gu Master with his own essence and "Qi" to imprint his life mark on it.

The one that was finally born was the "Destiny Gu," which contained all sorts of strange abilities.

The primordial "Gu Mother Qi" secreted by the "Gu Body Saint Child" can instantly differentiate and generate Gu poisons with different effects according to the practitioner's intention.

This naturally includes the results of numerous human experiments conducted by the Medicine Immortal Society...

……

A few days later, with the strong coordination of the state apparatus, talents from all over the country began to flock to the "bunker".

A large, tiered conference room, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, was packed to capacity.

"Old Meng, who do you think this new head is? Such a big entourage, drawing us all from various districts? They even invited an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

A researcher from the former All-Telecom asked Meng Delu in a low voice.

"A very talented young man..."

Old Meng pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice.

After thinking for a moment, he added another sentence.
"It's said that he was personally selected by someone higher up..."

Thinking of Zhuge Qing's appearance, Old Meng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Even he himself didn't realize that his beastly methods had such potential, and that this young man had seen through them at a glance.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Zhuge Qing stepped onto the podium.

"Welcome, everyone."

Zhuge Qing's voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone.

“I think most of you are curious about our newly formed organization.”

Let me briefly introduce the 'South Heaven Gate' project, which is fundamentally different from the 'NaDuTong' company that everyone is familiar with.

Our primary task is not management, but research.

To analyze the root causes behind the 'extraordinary people' in a scientific and systematic way.

He paused for a moment, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"I am Zhuge Qing, the person in charge of this project. The daily administrative work will be handled by Liao Zhong, who is sitting next to me."

He gestured to the side.

Liao Zhong stepped forward, gave everyone a standard military salute, and his expression was quite serious, unlike his usual carefree demeanor.

Many former employees of Nadutong naturally recognized this head of the South China region.

This person was previously in charge of managing the Dark Fortress, which has the function of containing and researching Inhumans, so it makes sense to put this person in charge of this new organization.

But to their surprise, this person was actually willing to be a deputy?

"Next, I will make preliminary groups for the current tasks."

"First, Project Team One, 'Tiangong'."

It was composed of experts from the refining department of the former Nadutong Company, as well as experts in engineering physics, materials science, energy science and other fields.

Your primary task at present is to reverse engineer and optimize the 'Xingtian Armor'.

In the future, you will be responsible for transforming all our research findings into practically applicable equipment and technologies.

A small commotion arose in the audience, and the eyes of the experts from the military and engineering fields gleamed.

They had already read the summary of the combat report on the "Xingtian Armor," and it was a weapon capable of changing the nature of warfare.

"Second, Project Team No. 2, 'Shennong'."

It is composed of medical experts from the original company, as well as biologists, geneticists, and neuroscientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Your core research topic is the mechanism of action of 'Primordial Qi' on living organisms.

Your most urgent task right now is to analyze and archive all the data from the Medicine Immortal Society, and to conduct comprehensive observation and research on the special samples we are currently containing.”

These words gave a boost to the spirits of experts in the field of biology.

The concept of "Primordial Qi" opened a door to a whole new world for them.

"Thirdly, it consists of archaeologists and some of the full-time employees of NaDuTong..."

Zhuge Qing looked at the last group of people.

Upon hearing this, a clear murmur of discussion finally broke out from the audience.

Many scientists from other fields were puzzled.

They can understand studying armor and life sciences.

But what's the point of establishing an archaeological department?

"I know what you're all thinking. But have you ever thought about this question: in ancient times, before modern science existed, what were those 'extraordinary people' with great power in the eyes of the people of that time?"

Zhuge Qing seemed to have anticipated their reaction.

Without waiting for anyone's reply, he continued speaking to himself.

"He is a god walking among men, a giant spirit that can move mountains and fill seas, a celestial master who can summon wind and rain, and a ruler ordained by Heaven."

"What they left behind was not just myths and legends. They also used their own strength to build magnificent relics that still seem incredible today."

Was the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt really built by hundreds of thousands of slaves using logs and ropes over twenty years?

"Our archaeological work, on the one hand, is to trace the origins and explore the most fundamental origins of the 'strange people' group."

On the other hand, it is to uncover any research materials and legacies that may have been left behind from ancient, supernatural civilizations.

Zhuge Qing continued, "I have seen the pyramids in this world, and most of them involved the participation of extraordinary individuals."

This is why archaeological work in this world is progressing very slowly.

After all, with the involvement of superhumans, there are countless traps and curses.

"The current work of the 'Seeking the Way' project team is to collaborate with the State Administration of Cultural Heritage to conduct a high-priority archaeological exploration and research on a well-known mausoleum..."

"That is... the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor."

Zhuge Qing paused for a moment, then uttered the name slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing this, the group of archaeologists and historical researchers in the last row seemed to have been given the strongest stimulant; their eyes were bloodshot, and their bodies trembled slightly with extreme excitement.

"Sir! You mean... the government has finally approved the excavation plan for the main burial chamber?"

One of the oldest professors even stood up excitedly and asked in a trembling voice.

Previously, due to certain special reasons, their exploration work on the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum was quite difficult.

"We will not only solve the problem, but also dispatch the most professional team of extraordinary individuals to provide comprehensive support."

Zhuge Qing looked directly at him and gave an affirmative answer.

After the meeting, the base, like a sophisticated war machine, began to operate at high speed.

Everyone threw themselves into their posts with excitement, confusion, and a sense of mission.

A few days later, after Zhuge Qing finished dealing with the complicated matters at hand, his consciousness returned to that space.

Unlike before, this time there were four more unfamiliar people...
