Chapter 985

The night was deep, but the weapons factory was still a hive of activity.

Under the leadership of Bai Jingyan and Damian, all the staff worked around the clock. They knew very well that the sooner the new battle armor was produced, the more lives could be saved in the human world.

"Reagent No. 32!" Bai Jingyan stared intently at a vial of red liquid on the operating table. It was a substance extracted from mutated plants. After thousands of comparison experiments, he had discovered that this substance possessed an almost infinite assimilation ability. Under this assimilation ability, even the incredibly domineering devouring ability of the Ocean Apostle was completely absorbed.

And most importantly... this ability had no limit!

Theoretically, this plant could continue to mutate indefinitely, continuously devouring and assimilating the abilities of any organism, eventually reaching an extremely terrifying level.

If cultivated intentionally, it could simultaneously possess the advantages of any creature on Blue Star, such as the gecko's tail regeneration ability, the earthworm's ability to split into two individuals when cut, the jellyfish's near-infinite lifespan, and the Ocean Apostle's devouring ability...

Bai Jingyan didn't dare to think any further.

Fortunately, the thing possessing this trait was a plant, unable to move freely, and only able to assimilate other abilities under special circumstances. If it were a creature with independent thinking ability, and it continued to assimilate and devour everything in its path with its own characteristics, it would probably replace the Earth Apostle as the strongest creature on Blue Star before long...

"The new species that appear during the resource surge period are indeed magical and strange..." Bai Jingyan couldn't help but sigh. The plant's uniqueness also gave him an extremely crazy idea. He wanted to transform this plant into a living being, to create a species similar to gods and demons with his own hands.

Once this idea appeared in his mind, it lingered for a long time.

However, Bai Jingyan was well aware of the dangers of this plan. He had learned through various channels about cases of crazy biologists creating powerful species, only for the experimental subjects to lose control and cause tragic consequences.

If he wanted to cultivate a plant with special assimilation abilities, he had to be fully prepared, and the current situation was clearly not the best time to cultivate it.

"Reagent No. 32 injected, the experimental subject is reacting normally, the matching degree..." The staff member's voice interrupted Bai Jingyan's thoughts, and he refocused his attention on the monitor on the operating table.

After extracting this substance capable of assimilating the genes of the Ocean Apostle, Bai Jingyan and Damian immediately conducted metal matching experiments.

They needed to find the metal with the highest degree of compatibility with this substance from tens of thousands of metals, and immediately start manufacturing armor. At this time, the metal with the highest degree of compatibility was only sixty-seven percent, far below Bai Jingyan and Damian's requirements.

"Perhaps we should change our approach. We don't necessarily have to use metal as the main body of the casting, we can add some other substances to the main body of the casting... For example, the bones and scales of the Apostle. The body of this powerful creature is no weaker than any kind of alloy." Damian said softly, "The corpse of the Sky Apostle is still preserved in the weapons factory. Why don't we give it a try?"
