Mechanical Flesh

As the main project of Morin approached, several fourth-level researchers who were named to participate successively handed over the tasks in their hands, and prepared to go all out to join this big project.

For the vast majority of researchers, the fourth-level researcher is already the pinnacle they can reach, and the position that continues to rise is no longer achievable by simple research projects.

Although the academic committee has divided the ranks of researchers and set several promotion regulations, the academic committee has not reached out to touch the core right of the laboratory.

The academic committee only divides and records researchers at the fourth level and below, and does not say anything about the fifth level researchers.

Because each laboratory in the shelter has only one chief, the research direction and final rights of the entire laboratory are in the hands of the chief.

Although the academic research committee has a strong influence, they obviously did not abuse this right, which is the main reason why the academic committee was able to break down academic barriers and get to where it is today.

Under tremendous external pressure, all those in power in the sanctuary need a purely academic research organization to promote the advancement of human technology, but they will never allow the academic research committee to become a core authority against themselves. A careerist who dictates.

The appointment and removal of the chief of the laboratory, that is, the fifth-level researcher, is always firmly in the hands of each shelter.

The chief of the biological and mechanical research laboratory has always been appointed and dismissed by the board of directors. Although there are many people on the board of directors who fight for power and profit, there are very few people who take the position of chief of the laboratory.

Before each chief abdicates, he usually recommends one or two candidates to the board of directors. The next chief candidate is basically selected from the candidates recommended by the previous one, with few exceptions.

Now, Chief Molin is old and on the verge of retiring. The fourth-level researchers present here are very clear that this big project should be the last project of Chief Molin.

As for the next successor, it must be selected from among the fourth ranks who participated in this project.

They are Feng Qian on the sixth floor, Cao Yansheng on the eighth floor, Tan Qiu on the tenth floor, and He Shou on the eighteenth floor.

On this day, the four researchers who were named by Molin to participate in the project all put down their work and sat together.

Except for Cao Yansheng who made it clear that he was not interested in the chief position, the other three were all eyeing the chief position.

The relationship between Tan Qiu and Feng Qian was once very tense because of a series of frictions.

Now, the four of them gathered together, except for Cao Yansheng who was resting with his eyes closed, there was a tense atmosphere among the other three.

After an unknown amount of time, Cao Yansheng, who had been resting his eyes with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. He swept across the three of them with gentle eyes, and said lightly:

"The chief has ordered us to select ten third-level researchers to participate in this project within three days."

"This project has a lot to do with it, and I hope everyone will carefully select the participants!"

As the oldest person among all the fourth-level researchers, although Cao Yansheng has no intention of being the chief, his research strength has been respected by everyone.

For so many years, the academic points he has accumulated are second only to Chief Molin. Even in the twenty-one shelters of Doomsday Arms, his academic points are also at the top. If he wants to compete for the chief position, the rest Neither will be an opponent.

Therefore, in the laboratory, apart from the chief, only Cao Yansheng speaks with the most authority, even Feng Gan and Tan Qiu will not be presumptuous in front of him.

After listening carefully to what Cao Yansheng said, Feng Qian and He Shou looked at each other, and the atmosphere became more tense. They both recruited a number of third-level researchers under their command, and they wanted to let their direct descendants join the project team.

Third-level researchers want to join the project team, in addition to getting their recommendation, they also need Cao Yansheng to nod for final confirmation.

Cao Yansheng, who devotes all his time and energy to the laboratory, doesn't even care about the position of chief. Apart from research and experiments, he already has nothing to desire. There is only one way to convince him, and that is to produce enough evidence , to prove that the person they recommend will help advance the project, otherwise he will never nod easily.

When it comes to the determination of project personnel, Cao Yansheng always prefers to be short and not indiscriminate. If there is no suitable candidate, he would rather leave the quota empty than let someone who is not strong enough join.

Compared to the nervousness of Feng Qian and He Shou, Tan Qiu seemed extremely relaxed, because she did not recruit third-level researchers, and she did not have any demand for the list of third-level researchers, so she could watch Feng Qian and He Shou while eating melons. He Shou fights.

Several people discussed for a while, and Cao Yansheng first recommended three third-level researchers. These three are top third-level researchers doing research in their own independent laboratories. Their research directions are also very suitable for this project, and no one raised any objections. , the three nominated by Cao Yansheng easily occupied three spots.

He Shou and Feng Qian then each nominated a third-level researcher, both of whom are under their command, with strong research capabilities and relatively suitable research directions.

The first trial of the two was relatively gentle, and there was not much confrontation. After the two explained the reasons for the recommendation in detail, Cao Yansheng only pondered for a few seconds before nodding and agreeing to the quota recommended by the two.

However, for the remaining five places, the recommendation of the two became relatively nervous. They each made a trial once, but Cao Yansheng directly rejected them all.

With Cao Yansheng in charge, the few people did not confront each other too presumptuously, and barely maintained their superficial harmony.

There are still a few days before the official start of the project, so Feng Qian and He Shou didn't rush to reveal their cards. After exploring for a while, they ended this brief meeting.

After finishing the conversation, Feng Qian went directly to Xiao Yu's laboratory.

After entering the laboratory unimpeded all the way, Feng Qian bumped into Xiao Yu and Zhong Yunhai who were just about to go out. Although the two were pale, their eyes were obviously filled with excitement and joy.

It was a success?

Seeing the expressions of the two, Feng Qian vaguely guessed the answer, but he still asked in a deep voice:

"How is it going?"

Xiao Yu and Zhong Yunhai looked at each other, suppressed the excitement in their hearts and said: "The experiment has been completed, and we will be able to write a paper soon."

"good!"

Feng Qian nodded with a smile.

Those third-level researchers with top strength and very suitable research directions have already entered the list of ten people, and there is no third-level researcher in the laboratory who is more qualified than those people.

Therefore, the remaining five people are the place to test them.

Although Xiao Yu and Zhong Yunhai's research strength is a little bit weaker, their research directions are very compatible. If there are bonus points for this research project, Feng Qian is at least 80% sure to convince Cao Yansheng.

"The latest issue of "Hope" will be published tomorrow, and this paper of yours is already too late. Please sort out the experimental records and write a simple experimental report. I will send it to Cao Yansheng for review. Can you enter the university? The list depends on the results of Cao Yansheng's review tomorrow morning!" Feng Gan said.

Xiao Yu nodded excitedly.

"We're going to sort out the experiment report right away, and I'll send it over before six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Before, Xiao Yu was almost stunned by Qi Yuan's continuous burglary, but now he has finally seized the opportunity to stand up. As long as he enters the project team, no matter how many methods Qi Yuan and Tan Qiu have, they will no longer be able to threaten him.

After Feng Qian left, Xiao Yu and Zhong Yunhai immediately began to sort out the experiment report in full swing. These months of almost non-stop experiments finally reached the moment of final harvest.

Just when Xiao Yu was looking forward to joining the project team, advancing to the fourth-level researcher, and reaching the pinnacle of his life, Fu Qingqing was undergoing intensive training in the training room.

Fu Qingqing held an energy weapon similar in shape to Dance of Death, and confronted a fist-sized strange insect that radiated colorful light like a colored gemstone.

The strange worm was as fast as lightning. Even with Fu Qingqing's perception, he could only catch a vague shadow. When it moved rapidly, the entire training room was covered by it.

Fu Qingqing, who was surrounded by countless colorful streamers, held her breath and focused, the dark golden flame burning in her hands, and the weapon in her hand exuded a touch of dark golden haze.

All of a sudden, Fu Qingqing's eyes narrowed, and she saw the colorful streamer that filled most of the training room suddenly appear in front of her and charged towards her head.

With the speed of this strange insect beast, as long as it hits the target, even if Fu Qingqing's core ability is defense, this blow is enough to pierce her head, not to mention Fu Qingqing's core ability is the element domain.

The moment the colored streamer appeared in front of him, Fu Qingqing's figure shook undetectably, and then was directly pierced by the colored streamer.

The streamer pierced through Fu Qingqing's head, but no blood spattered, only Fu Qingqing's blurry afterimage slowly dissipated.

After missing a single hit, the colorful beast seemed to have sensed the danger. It turned around in the air, and instantly transformed into dozens of identical colored streamers, shooting away in all directions.

Behind it, Fu Qingqing raised the weapon burning with dark golden mist at some point, and aimed it straight ahead.

"Flame whirlpool!" Fu Qingqing groaned.

I saw a dark golden flame vortex suddenly appearing in the void, and then collapsed crazily towards the center. The streams of light that shot towards the surroundings seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flying towards the dark golden flame vortex, and soon Soon they were all swallowed by the dark gold vortex.

The colorful streamer that originally occupied most of the training room slowly disappeared, leaving only a dark golden vortex spinning rapidly in the void.

The dark golden vortex is spinning, and the center is beating like a heart, as if something is struggling inside and trying to escape.

A faint light flashed in Fu Qingqing's eyes, and she pointed at the weapon in her hand, and a dark golden beam condensed to the extreme shot out instantly, pointing directly at the beating dark golden vortex.

"Flame burst!" Fu Qingqing shouted in a low voice.

The rapidly rotating dark gold vortex shrank first, and then burst open suddenly.

Countless dark golden streamers shot out like fireworks, and the destructive energy fluctuations swept across in an instant, and the roaring thunder echoed in the training room, as if the void had been torn apart by the burst of flames.

Under the impact of the energy, Fu Qingqing let out a muffled snort, her face turned pale, and the weapon in her hand almost fell out.

A colored streamer suddenly rushed out of the burst of dark gold streamer. Although its color became much dimmer and its speed dropped, it still seized this opportunity and shot towards Fu Qingqing again.

Fu Qingqing gritted her teeth, and the dark golden flame shot out of her body in an instant, preparing to continue fighting with the colorful beast.

"Enough!" A gentle voice suddenly sounded in Fu Qingqing's ear.

Afterwards, a warm palm pierced through the Dark Gold Flowing Flame, appeared in front of Fu Qingqing, and grabbed towards the colorful streamer of light.

The colorful beast seemed to have discovered the danger, and suddenly spun rapidly, and was about to repeat the same trick, turning into countless streamers and fleeing in all directions.

I saw that palm was held in the void, and the colorful streamers scattered in all directions were submerged in the palm like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Mo Sheng let go of his right hand, and saw a colored stone with four-color light lying on the palm of his hand. If you observe carefully, you will find that this stone with four colors is actually a strange beast with its body curled up.

The four-color beast curled up tremblingly, which was the body's instinctive fear of the strong.

"How?" Mo Sheng asked softly.

Fu Qingqing panted for a while, and shook her head after her breathing calmed down.

"Its speed is too fast. I only have one chance to attack. If I can't defeat it with one blow, I will be the one who dies!"

"You've done a good job."

Mo Sheng lightly tossed the stone-like colorful beast in his hand.

"The defense and speed of this elite colorful stone beast have reached the peak of the fourth level, and it is possible to step into the fifth level at any time. Ordinary fourth-level ability users will not even have a chance to escape when they encounter it. You can do this already Very good, if you replace the weapon in your hand with the Dance of Death, your last blow just now should have defeated it, or even killed it!"

Alienation energy weapons were originally something that could not be found, even in the shelter, there were very few people who possessed alienation energy weapons.

Fu Qingqing's Dance of Death was a powerful weapon that Mo Sheng obtained after he went deep into the red area and hunted down a fifth-order elite insect beast that matched Fu Qingqing's ability very well.

Nearly half of Mo Sheng's wealth accumulated over the years has been spent on this Dance of Death. Once the Dance of Death is activated, Fu Qingqing's strength will be further enhanced by mutual resonance.

Fu Qingqing was about to say something when suddenly her personal communicator trembled slightly.

Someone sent a message.

Like Qi Yuan, only a few people were added to Fu Qingqing's communicator.

After clicking on the message, Fu Qingqing's body suddenly trembled, and after a few seconds, she said slowly:

"Teacher, a letter from Qi Yuan, he has completed the activation of the dance of death!"

Mo Sheng laughed when he heard this.

"Not bad."

"Before you go to get the Dance of Death, go to my private warehouse and take two hundred kilograms of star energy stones to send to Qi Yuan."
