They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 393 Next Steps
Of course, as a purely biological weapon, the initial version of the Xenomorph had fatal flaws.

Its life cycle is overly dependent on its host, its reproductive process is full of uncontrollable variables, and its wild nature is difficult to tame.

As a biological weapon, it is nothing more than a crude, unfinished product.

Therefore, he referenced the technology of the "Beast Soldiers" from the world of Guyver and modified the alien's DNA.

The core of the Zoanoid technology lies in its stability and controllability.

It eliminates the alien's rigid requirement for a host, allowing it to be directly catalyzed and formed by organic matter in the culture tank.

More importantly, the same control program as Zhang Qi's beast-like soldiers was written into the alien weapon's low-level genetic code.

This constraint will ensure that this future terror legion will always have only one master.

Once the barriers in the design phase are broken down, the production efficiency of biotechnology becomes beyond imagination.

The allure of bioengineering lies in this: once the blueprint is drawn up, life's self-replication capability will become the most efficient production line.

Just one month later, the first batch of mass-produced Xenomorphs, codenamed "Soldier Ants," emerged from the "womb" that had nurtured them.

In the heavily guarded underground testing ground, fifty "soldier ants" stood silently.

They are slightly smaller than any of the aliens seen in the movies, and their exoskeletons are more like smooth black carapaces than bone.

Their forms are highly uniform, as if they were carved from the same mold, and they exude the coldness of industrial products rather than the ferocity of wild beasts.

Inside the observation room, Charles Wieland II and the board members held their breath.

"Start command test".

Zhang Qi's voice rang out through the broadcast system.

A technician entered a command on the control panel, and a special infrasound wave instantly swept across the entire test field.

The fifty "soldier ants" trembled violently, and the next second, they raised their heads in unison, their movements as precise as soldiers on parade.

As the commands changed, they sometimes ran, sometimes crawled, and sometimes formed defensive formations, each movement perfectly executed.

"Speed ​​is 15 meters per second, peak punching power is about 1.5 tons... All data are about 30% weaker than the original body."

An analyst reported,
"However, gentlemen, please look at the cost report. The manufacturing cost of each one does not exceed the price of a single family-owned hovercraft."

The entire observation room fell into a deathly silence, which was then broken by the sound of heavy, suppressed breathing.

It is cheap, controllable, and can be mass-produced.

Charles Weyland II’s eyes burned with a fiery passion, as if he could already see Tyrael’s clone legions and power armored forces crumbling before his endless alien army.

“Zhang Qi…”

Charles's voice was a little hoarse with excitement.
"You have made history once again."

He knew that with a "modified human" like Watson, plus an endless army of "soldier ants," the Weyland-Yuya Corporation—no, it was he, Charles Weyland—would become the sole ruler of this planet.

"Maybe~"

Sensing the ambition in this CEO, Zhang Qi simply smiled, remaining noncommittal.

……

After the technology has been verified, the next step is mass production.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Qi naturally began his score-boosting plan.

His initial plan was simple: in another specially opened, enclosed valley covering tens of square kilometers, he released thousands of "soldier ants" and then ordered the detonation of pre-set cluster bombs.

However, the final result surprised him, because the main god did not distribute reward points.

In other words, according to the rules of the main god, to receive the reward, the kill must be personally completed by the "reincarnator" or its "android".

"Watson".

Thinking this, Zhang Qi connected the communication. At the other end of the valley, a huge alloy gate rose.

Watson, dressed in a simple black combat uniform, calmly walked in.

The killing begins.

Faced with the swarming "soldier ants," Watson didn't even activate combat mode.

His movements were extremely simple: punches, kicks, and elbow strikes.

Each attack precisely struck the head or thorax of a soldier ant. (Fragile)
The weak "soldier ants" burst apart like paper under his immense force, enough to overturn a tank, and green blood splattered everywhere.

On Zhang Qi's retina, a series of information streams began to refresh rapidly.

[Defeat the mass-produced alien and earn 100 reward points.]

[Defeat the mass-produced alien and earn 100 reward points.]

[Defeat the mass-produced alien and earn 100 reward points.]

Individual rewards are insignificant, but they are stable, secure, and continuous.

Now that we've solved the problem of how to obtain reward points, it's time to tackle the side quests.

According to information occasionally revealed by Zheng Zha in the Main God Space, obtaining side quests is closely related to "changing the plot".

In this alien world, he knew of four places where he could access side quests.

The first target is Ellen Ripley, the female protagonist in Alien 1.

According to the records, the spacecraft lost contact during its return journey, and the only escape shuttle, "Narcissus," also went missing.

Based on the trajectory of the last signal, it is estimated to be drifting in deep space along a fixed orbit.

According to the original story, decades later, a recycling team from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation would "accidentally" discover it, thus triggering the plot of Alien 2.

The second target, LV-223.

The planet discovered during the Prometheus mission.

Although Peter Wieland's expedition failed, it brought back a wealth of astronomical data.

That planet is where the Engineers left behind their biological weapons testing grounds, hiding deeper secrets about the origins of the Xenomorphs, and possibly even leading to the Engineers' home planet.

The third target, LV-426, is the planet where the Xenomorph Nostromo obtained the Xenomorph eggs.

There was a giant "Engineer" spaceship filled with alien eggs...

Finally, there's the fourth one, which is also the most recent.

Zhang Qi retrieved a complete scan of the Antarctic pyramid ruins.

In the data brought back by the first expedition team, he discovered some overlooked details.

In certain specific areas of the pyramid, the metallic composition of the materials differs subtly but clearly from that of the "Engineers'" creation.

More importantly, deep within the sacrificial hall, there is a statue of the Predator.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be where you can unlock the Predator side story.

Four potential events that could unlock side quests are like four key pieces scattered on a chessboard, quietly waiting for him to pick them up.

Zhang Qi's fingertips traced across the cold glass. Only children make choices; he naturally wanted it all.

After all, you can never have too many side quests...
