Chapter 200: Journey to Japan (Seeking Monthly Votes)
The Black Water True Method has a total of thirteen layers. Cultivating to the highest level not only allows one to control water flow but also merge with the power of true water, transforming into a Black Dragon.
Lane's current transformation into a Half-Dragon Person somewhat embodies the true meaning of the Black Water True Method, although it's a shortcut achieved through Serum Zero. However, the improvements in physical body strength and mastery of Water Magic are substantial.
Lane continued to demonstrate his strength after dragon transformation to Tang Song. Not only his water control ability, but after transforming, he could also control the cells within his body to release strong Electric Pulse Waves, just like Adam...
In an indoor target range specifically for testing experiment subject attack power, Lane let out a Dragon's Roar. After transforming, a thick, reddish-white Lightning Beam shot out from his mouth...
The light beam struck the target wall...
The strong electric current at high temperature directly melted the alloy test target into a pool of molten iron.
…………
"Well done!" Tang Song cast an appreciative gaze at Professor Connors.
Professor Connors was somewhat flattered: "Boss, the research on the Serum primarily relies on the materials you provided—"
Professor Connors said this without any intention of being humble. Whether it was the Zero Ghidorah Flesh and Blood Material, the Blood Orchid, the Alien, or the Healing Factor of Mutants.
For ordinary biologists, these might be top-tier research materials they wouldn't encounter even once in a lifetime.
With these materials available, frankly speaking, even a dog could serve as the Laboratory Supervisor and be responsible for this research, and still produce results.
Professor Connors knew he wasn't a researcher with high innate ability or exceptional talent. His identity as a Biology Professor was earned through decades of diligent study, day in and day out, incomparable to those exceptionally gifted geniuses.
When Professor Connors was teaching at Caltech, he once heard an old professor mention a student named Banner, who majored in Physics and obtained a Doctorate in Nuclear Physics and six other doctoral degrees, including a Doctorate in Biology, within a few years.
Compared to him, Professor Connors wasn't that type of talented individual. His research progressed steadily, step by step.
After solving his severed arm problem, the impetuousness he once had was gone.
Professor Connors strived for excellence in his research.
This was also what Tang Song appreciated about Professor Connors.
He wasn't short on money. The Hive Laboratory was his private property, and all experiment projects were only accountable to him.
Unlike Oscorp, any large investment project needed to consider the return on investment and the constraints from the Board of Directors.
This was the main reason why Professor Connors' Lizard Serum research failed initially.
Because the investment in this area was too high, it directly caused dissatisfaction among the Shareholders on the Board of Directors. Under pressure from the Board, Norman Osborn disregarded his pleas and advice and directly planned to cut the Project.
If Tang Song hadn't taken over this Project and invested a large amount of Funds, Professor Connors, in order to regenerate his severed arm, would have directly risked skipping the Human Experimentation Stage and injected himself with the incomplete Lizard Serum, transforming directly into The Lizard, according to the original Plot.
To some extent, Boss Tang was Professor Connors' Patron.
And Professor Connors' decades of immersion in biology research also brought Returns to Tang Song.
The Federal Military invested hundreds of billions of US Dollars and spent over a decade, only managing to restore a Secondary Serum based on the Super Serum.
Meanwhile, Professor Connors spent a few years researching the Lizard Serum, and in less than a year, successfully developed Serum Zero. What is most valuable in the twenty-first century? Talent!
Tang Song placed considerable Value on Talent...
"Strengthen the Security Measures for the Laboratory. From now on, the Entry and Exit System will be supervised by Red Queen. Entering and exiting the Laboratory requires simultaneous signatures from you and the Security Supervisor!"
Tang Song picked up another tube of emerald-colored Serum Zero. It was a spiral-shaped Injection, and the emerald-like Liquid seemed to glow.
After speaking to Professor Connors, Tang Song glanced at Lane, who had restored to Human Form, and asked:
"Prioritize arranging the family members of the Research Personnel in the Laboratory to Raccoon City. Arrange for Free Housing, Medical Security, and Subsidies!"
Lane nodded: "Yes, Boss. I'll implement it immediately!"
Considering the Experiment Leak Incidents that frequently occurred in movies, Boss Tang was exceptionally concerned about the Laboratory's Security.
The Hive Base was currently fully Construction Completed, and the lowest five floors were already in use.
The lowest floor of The Hive was Red Queen's Main Computer Vault. The floor above it was the Biological Agent Storage Room.
Above the Biological Agent Storage Room was the Experimentation Area.
These three floors were the absolute priority of the Hive Base. Red Queen's Main Computer Vault could only be accessed by Tang Song, Professor Connors, and a few other Leaders like Lane.
When it came to Red Queen's Main Computer Maintenance, it even required Tang Song's personal signature. The Biological Agent Storage Room stored all the Biological Agents developed by the Hive Laboratory, including the Lizard Serum and the Daywalker Serum formulated with Perfect Blood.
There were also several other latest Injections derived for commercial Use.
Regardless of the Agent, if it were to Circulate on the Market, it represented immense Economic Value.
Retrieving or storing Agents on this floor was separate from the Research Personnel on the upper floors, handled by Dedicated Personnel.
Access to this floor required A-Level Authority. Those with this Clearance were Tang Song's Confidants, and their Loyalty was unquestionable.
As for the upper floors of the Laboratory, they served as the Armory.
The Armory, as the name suggests, stored a batch of light and heavy Firearms. This batch of Weapons, enough to arm a Federal Infantry Battalion, was not only issued to the Laboratory Security Personnel.
It was the Armory for the entire Tang's Building. The Armory had an Elevator that went directly to the Building and was not connected to other Hive floors.
Entering the Armory required B-Level Authority. Those with this Clearance were at least at the Supervisor level of this Base, generally the higher-ranking Card Soldiers and the Security Supervisor.
Between each floor of The Hive, between the Elevator and the Entrance, a laser Passage was additionally set up as per standard procedure.
This was prepared for potential Intruders.
In Red Queen's Main Computer Room, Tang Song also additionally placed several Iron Robots and Skeleton Demons as Security.
If someone were to truly break into this Base, the Security Measures of this Base would show the Intruder what despair felt like.
………
"If the Serum Zero Agent falls into someone else's hands, what is the probability of it being Counterfeit?"
Tang Song casually placed the Serum Zero Agent into a constant temperature storage Briefcase. Lane, standing nearby, took the Briefcase.
Professor Connors smiled and said confidently: "Boss, the successful development of the Serum Zero Agent mainly relies on the Materials. Whether it's the Ghidorah flesh and blood sample, the Blood Orchid, or the Alien, if even one is missing, the Serum cannot be replicated!"
"Let alone outsiders counterfeiting it, due to the influence of the Blood Orchid Flowering Period, even our own Laboratory would have to wait for the Blood Orchid's Flowering Period to replicate it."
"Don't be so absolute," Tang Song said. "Be cautious in everything. The Experiment steps for the Serum Zero Agent will be sealed, and an extra layer of insurance will be added in the future. If someone attempts to crack it, the Agent will Self-Destruct!"
"Yes! Boss!" Professor Connors nodded.
"Lane, I remember Magneto mentioned he has a Mutant under him who can control Plant Growth. Ask him later, borrow that person, and see if they can shorten the Blood Orchid's Flowering Period!"
Tang Song turned and instructed Lane: The Blood Orchid is a Plant with very strict environmental requirements. Even with a dedicated Environmental Simulation Cultivation Room in the Hive Laboratory, it cannot perfectly simulate the variable climate of the Borneo Rainforest.
To address this, Tang Song also set up a Spirit Gathering Array using Jade Stone in the Environmental Simulation Cultivation Room where the Blood Orchid was growing, which allowed the Blood Orchid to survive.
However, to shorten the Blood Orchid's Flowering Period, they needed to find another way.
