Chapter 358 Mechanical Beast King
"Institute telecommunication, Professor Nan reporting!"
It was the third day that Li Tianran was personally reclaiming wasteland. While he was taking a moment to drink orange juice, a burly adult Warrior responsible for communications placed a walkie-talkie by Li Tianran's hand and announced the caller's identity in a crisp electronic voice.
Li Tianran casually answered the call, then rubbed his temples and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The call came from the research institute. What could Professor Nan want from him? It was probably just another shortage of materials!
You never know until you try, and once you do, you'll be shocked.
The resources required by a biological research institute were like a bottomless pit. Even Li Tianran, as wealthy as he was, now dreaded receiving calls from Professor Nan.
Because every time the professor contacted him, it meant that a resource was exhausted and urgently needed replenishment...
"The biomechanical research has yielded some minor results. Would you like to take a look?"
Professor Nan's voice was cheerful, and his words surprised Li Tianran.
Li Tianran straightened up, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
The biological laboratory was a huge investment. Now that it had finally produced results, of course he had to see it with his own eyes!
"Even if we threw so many resources into the sea, it should at least make a splash!" Li Tianran was exceptionally excited. He rubbed his palms together, boarded the helicopter next to him, and said directly into the walkie-talkie, "I'm coming over now. Be prepared!"
"I brought it to the southern sea area," Professor Nan said succinctly, directly indicating his location, and then hung up the phone.
Buzz!
The sound of the helicopter cutting through the air rang out, leaving behind only a group of Warriors working hard.
...
Li Tianran sat in the helicopter. From a distance, he saw a patch of black shadow constantly moving on the sea surface. Professor Nan stood on the coast, waving his hand to indicate his location when he saw the helicopter arrive.
The helicopter arrived above Professor Nan's location. Li Tianran opened the hatch and jumped down, using his control over gravity to land smoothly.
"Every time I see you display the special abilities of Evolvers, I can't help but sigh. Evolver genes are truly the most magical creation in the world. Their appearance has made many unsolvable biological problems no longer a problem." Professor Nan's expression was somewhat complicated. "If I wasn't worried about my brain being affected, I would really like to try to become an Evolver."
Li Tianran was very serious, "When we are strong enough, strong enough to stand at the top of the world without having to continue analyzing Evolver genes, then you can become an Evolver without any worries."
"Forget it... If there really is such a day, then it means that I am no longer useful to this team." Professor Nan pointed to his head, smiling kindly, "An old, worthless, and useless Evolver, doesn't that sound quite sad?"
"You've been very pessimistic lately," Li Tianran glanced at Professor Nan, "You have everything you want now, why aren't your emotions very high?"
Professor Nan waved his hand, hesitated, and finally changed the subject, "Let's take a look at our research results!"
Watching Professor Nan stride towards the mountain wall bordering the sea in the distance, Li Tianran raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Does this old man have something on his mind?"
Since the other party didn't say more, Li Tianran didn't ask more for the time being.
Who doesn't have times when they're in a bad mood?
Professor Nan opened the laptop he was carrying, then stood on the mountain wall and brought up a remote control interface.
There was a red dot on the interface, and its activity trajectory was the same as the activity trajectory of the black shadow in the sea. Obviously, that black shadow was the modified Swordfish Beast King.
"Since Han Han performed information reorganization and filled its brain, the research process has been very smooth. It is very cooperative." Professor Nan quickly pulled up a 3D model of the body on the remote control interface, which was the model of the Swordfish Beast King, "After comprehensive research on its body strength, various data, and Divine Descent ability, my modification plan is this..."
Li Tianran rubbed his hands, he was looking forward to seeing a perfect fusion of mechanical and physical elements, like "Machine Dramon" or "Metal Garurumon"!
Snap!
Professor Nan pressed a button, and the picture changed again. The red dot marked on the picture quickly moved towards the shore!
In the sea, the dark shadow moved quickly, and then a wave several meters high was lifted. The mechanically modified Swordfish Beast King swung its giant tail and emerged from the water, appearing in front of Li Tianran for the first time!
Its eyes looked dull, without its previous ferocity, but instead had a silly and cute feeling.
The moment Li Tianran saw these eyes, he had a feeling that was about to come out, this thing... why does it look a bit like Chef Fan who was swindled by Zhao Ben San?
Thump!
The Swordfish Beast King fell into the water again and began to wander on the shore.
Li Tianran stroked his chin. He was silent for a while, then looked at Professor Nan and asked, "Are you... kidding me?"
"Where is there any mechanical modification on this thing? Isn't it still the same as before?"
Li Tianran's voice increased by a few decibels. He didn't see any traces of mechanical modification on this Swordfish Beast King, and even his Data Eye didn't show any changes in the data of this Beast King...
"Its mechanical modification is not on the outside." Professor Nan seemed to have expected Li Tianran's reaction and explained patiently, "It's on the spine!"
"Inside?" Li Tianran frowned.
Then that means... there's no War Greymon?
"According to the comprehensive index and Divine Descent ability of this Beast King that you provided, what it lacks is not the powerful firepower provided by exoskeleton arms, guns, and cannons, because its own destructive power is already very amazing." Professor Nan pointed to the 3D image on the laptop and said, "Its piercing ability, coupled with the fact that its bones are no weaker than steel in strength, combined with powerful speed, allows it to transform into a majestic armor-piercing cannon!"
"My modification direction is to increase its speed again!"
"I added an internal combustion cannon similar to a missile propulsion device inside its body, controlled by a mental cortex device!"
"When it uses Piercing Divine Descent to prepare to attack a target, it can activate the propulsion device. The high temperature generated by the fuel of the internal combustion cannon will generate powerful kinetic energy, allowing its speed to increase several times again!"
Li Tianran licked his lips.
Speed itself is a manifestation of power. When the speed reaches a certain level, the destructive power generated may be astonishing.
Theoretically speaking, if a grain of millet, without considering wear and tear, can even penetrate the Blue Star when its speed reaches its limit.
The Swordfish Beast King originally used the high-speed body to drive potential energy, allowing the "piercing" power to be enhanced.
Professor Nan could not temporarily multiply its power several times, but he could multiply its speed several times! In a sense, he had greatly increased the lethality of the Swordfish Beast King!
