Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The door of the conference room slowly closed.

Lv Yongchang stood at the door and took a deep breath.

His eyes were full of fatigue.

These few hours of meetings felt more tiring than completing the planetary climate chaos model.

But as the chief scientist, he could not refuse such a thing.

Behind him, the door of the conference room opened again.

"What?" Hong Qiming's voice came from beside him, "Tired?"

Lv Yongchang smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Hong Qiming reached out and patted his shoulder gently: "That's how the parliament is."

"Get used to it."

"Chairman, if the vote fails this time..." Lv Yongchang asked softly.

"Don't worry, with me here, there will be no problem with the parliament."

Hong Qiming interrupted Lv Yongchang's words with a calm look.

The voice was very light, but it revealed great confidence!

Lv Yongchang turned his head to look at Hong Qiming, who was much more stable than before.

At this moment, he seemed to see the figure of the old chairman.

He showed a sigh in his eyes, and was about to say something, but the virtual image of Zero appeared beside him.

"Professor, there is news from the biological laboratory."

"The Magna body strengthening hormone has been fully prepared."

"You can start the biological experiment at any time."

Beside him, Hong Qiming's chuckle came.

"Go."

"Your time should not be wasted here."

...

Shipborne biological laboratory.

Lv Yongchang stood in front of the experimental table, watching the movements of the manipulator.

The fleeing mouse was easily caught in the palm of the manipulator.

Then, a thin needle stretched out from the fingers of the manipulator.

After a little aiming, the needle accurately pierced the vein of the mouse.

The Magna body strengthening hormone was continuously injected into the mouse.

After more than ten seconds.

The needle slowly withdrew.

The mouse regained "freedom".

As before, they pulled their limbs, borrowed strength from the glass cage, and stayed as far away from the manipulator as possible.

"How long will it take to take effect?"

Lv Yongchang turned his head to look at Mao Zhengzhi on the side and asked softly.

Mao Zhengzhi thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"About 10 hours."

"After 10 hours, the physical condition of these mice should have changed significantly."

"The muscle fibers of the whole body are thicker, and the blood vessel walls are thicker..." Mao Zhengzhi joked with a relaxed look, "In general, under the effect of Magna's body strengthening hormone, these mice will become the first batch of super mice."

Lv Yongchang chuckled: "How long does it take to completely complete the body strengthening?"

"It may take a little longer." Mao Zhengzhi frowned, "Because there is no experimental data, we can't give an accurate answer."

"But the approximate time should be about ten days."

He shrugged: "After all, muscle growth also takes time, right?"

Lv Yongchang nodded to show his understanding.

"Take a rest first."

"We will come back to see this batch of mice in 10 hours."

"I hope they can bring us some surprises."

...

In the office.

Lv Yongchang took off his electromagnetic boots, got into the sleeping bag skillfully, and reached out to turn on the electromagnetic adsorption switch on the side of the sleeping bag.

"Da."

A crisp sound rang out.

The sleeping bag was firmly attached to a raised table.

This is his bed.

It's simple, but very practical.

In order to ensure the progress of various research, not only him, but almost all academicians adopt this sleeping method.

Not long after he fell asleep.

He was awakened by a shrill alarm.

He opened his eyes reflexively and turned his head to look at the holographic projection beside the bed: "Zero, what's going on?"

"Professor, the physical condition of the experimental mice is abnormal!"

Zero reported in concise words.

Hearing this, Lv Yongchang's face changed slightly, and he struggled to get out of the sleeping bag.

"How long have I slept?"

"4 hours and 31 minutes, professor."

Lv Yongchang's expression became more serious again.

4 hours and 31 minutes...that means that after the injection of Magna body strengthening hormone, the mice showed abnormalities only five hours later.

Although it is not clear what the reason is, this result is obviously beyond expectations, which makes Lv Yongchang's heart tighten.

"Have you notified Mao Zhengzhi?" he asked as he was getting dressed.

Ling: "All academicians have been notified. Academician Mao Zhengzhi has arrived at the biological laboratory."

Lv Yongchang quickened his pace: "Okay, tell Mao Zhengzhi, I'll be there soon!"

...

The door of the biological laboratory opened.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he walked into the door, Lv Yongchang grabbed a passing researcher and asked loudly: "Where is Mao Zhengzhi?"

"Academician Mao is at the laboratory table." The young researcher who was grabbed saw Lv Yongchang and said hurriedly, "Some mice have died. Academician Mao and others are looking for the cause."

Lv Yongchang's expression sank, he let go of his hand, and strode towards the laboratory table.

Deaths occurred so quickly...

This is not good news!

In front of the laboratory table, Mao Zhengzhi and several academicians looked at the holographic projection in front of them with solemn expressions.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Mao Zhengzhi quickly looked back.

"Professor Lv, you are here."

Lv Yongchang asked directly: "Have you found the reason?"

Mao Zhengzhi nodded with a strange look on his face: "We just found the reason."

"Side effects of hormones?" Lv Yongchang walked quickly to the holographic projection and looked at the autopsy report.

"No." Mao Zhengzhi shook his head and said hesitantly, "It's extremely serious malnutrition."

"In layman's terms, they were starved to death."

"...???"

Lv Yongchang paused and looked at Mao Zhengzhi in surprise: "Starved to death?!"

"Is there something wrong with the food supply system?"

"Or did you not prepare enough high-nutrition food?"

Faced with the questioning, Mao Zhengzhi shook his head again and again: "No, no, no."

"When we injected the heart-strengthening hormone, we found that the mice's appetite would increase rapidly after the hormone was injected."

"Therefore, before injecting the whole body-strengthening hormone, we specially prepared several times the high-nutrition food."

"But..." Mao Zhengzhi pointed to the observation room not far away, "When they had the accident, they did not finish the high-nutrition food we prepared."

"Even in the stomach of the dead mice, we found a lot of food residue."

"You mean..."

Lv Yongchang suddenly realized the problem: "The mice's digestive system did not have time to complete digestion and absorption?"

"I think there should be only this possibility." Mao Zhengzhi spread his hands helplessly.

Lv Yongchang walked towards the observation room with a smile on his face.

No one could have imagined that the experiment would fail for such a reason!

Looking at the dying mice in the glass cage, he sighed softly.

"Let's prepare for the next experiment."

"This time..." Lv Yongchang paused, "Use the medical cabin to directly inject high-concentration nutrient solution."
