Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Freeman, born from Proxima b."

Mao Zhengzhi's introduction voice came from the side: "He was the mastermind of that incident."

"My physical fitness is pretty good. I completed all the strengthening programs so quickly."

Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows and asked casually: "What test are you going to do next?"

"Will he cooperate with this experiment?"

Mao Zhengzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I believe he will cooperate."

"Before the experiment, I told them that as long as the experiment was successful, they would be acquitted."

"Although this sentence is not very credible, and they probably don't believe it very much, any living being will pursue it vigorously when faced with the only way to survive."

"This is an instinct engraved in genes and cannot be escaped."

Lu Yongchang said nothing and turned to look at the holographic screen in front of him.

The gravity chamber rotates slowly.

Equivalent gravity: 0.5g.

In the picture, the man named Freeman lay motionless in the gravity chamber with his eyes closed.

For this experiment, Mao Zhengzhi even asked Zero to make a special gravity chamber.

Similar to the gravity chamber used for experimental animals, this gravity chamber can achieve an equivalent gravity of up to 7g.

Unlike the large gravity cabins equipped on starships, due to material problems, the internal space of this gravity cabin is not large. It can only accommodate one person at a time, and there are not many facilities inside.

Just from the appearance, it is impossible to tell that this is a criminal who has committed serious crimes against humanity.

"He was injected with a large amount of sedatives." Mao Zhengzhi's explanation came from the side. "After the strengthening was completed, his physical fitness was much higher than before. This was also done to prevent accidents."

Lu Yongchang nodded to express his understanding.

Indeed, for this group of powerless researchers in the laboratory, Freeman, who has completed all the strengthening work, is undoubtedly a dangerous existence.

Although they are protected by zero-sum robots, if something unexpected happens, neither Lu Yongchang nor Mao Zhengzhi can accept it.

"Prepare to start experiments, all units should pay attention."

Mao Zhengzhi turned on the microphone and gave the order in a deep voice: "Prepare to wake up the experimental subjects."

After the words fell, a silver-white mechanical hand slowly reached out to Freeman.

The needle penetrated his vein with precision.

After a few minutes.

Freeman opened his eyes with difficulty.

He did not get up immediately, but rolled his eyes to look at the completely unfamiliar environment.

The next moment, he seemed to be aware of the existence of gravity. He gently raised his hand and tested it.

After several confirmations, his muscles tensed up and he tried to stand up from the ground.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came through the microphone into the biology laboratory.

That was the sound of Freeman hitting the "ceiling" of the gravity chamber.

"hiss……"

The impact was obviously not light. Freeman grinned and rubbed his shoulders, carefully controlling his body to return to the "ground".

"Record." Mao Zhengzhi looked at the picture in the holographic projection seriously, "body control has dropped significantly."

Then, he reached for the microphone on the side and turned on the switch.

"Do you remember who you are?"

The moment the voice came out, Freeman's expression changed drastically!

"Mao Zhengzhi!" Freeman looked at the camera on the side as if facing a powerful enemy, and shouted loudly, "What did you do to me?!"

"Have you forgotten?" Mao Zhengzhi raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"..."

Freeman was silent for a moment, lowered his head and looked at his body.

Perhaps he was shocked by the slender muscles on his body, but his face was filled with extremely complex expressions.

Shocked, confused, confused, worried...

After a long time, his tense body relaxed a little: "Is this the human enhancement experiment you are talking about?"

As he spoke, he waved his fist: "It feels good, it is indeed much stronger than before."

"Record, consciousness is clear, and memory is in good condition." Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and said to the scientific researchers on the side.

"Hey!" Apparently, Freeman also heard Mao Zhengzhi's words. He shouted with some dissatisfaction, "What on earth do you want me to do?"

"Don't forget what you told me at the time, as long as I complete this experiment, I can..."

"Acquitted." Mao Zhengzhi interrupted Freeman, "Of course I remember, provided you cooperate with our next test."

"How should I trust you?"

Freeman, who knew that he had completed the body enhancement experiment, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, sat down on the ground and asked calmly.

"Watch your attitude! You are not qualified to negotiate terms with us now!"

Mao Zhengzhi frowned and shouted sharply!

Freeman curled his lips, obviously not taking Mao Zhengzhi's scolding to heart.

He looked at his surroundings again: "Where is my companion?"

"They haven't completed their human enhancement experiments yet?"

Mao Zhengzhi said nothing.

Freeman got the answer from the silence and raised the corner of his mouth again: "In other words, I am now the only experimenter who has completed human enhancement?"

"You don't have any backup options besides me?"

Mao Zhengzhi's frown deepened.

This scene was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Of course there are other options." Lv Yongchang reached out and took the microphone from Mao Zhengzhi, and said in a deep voice, "In addition to you, there are two other people who have completed the human enhancement experiment."

"You have two options now."

"One, be thrown out of the starship and become a space junk."

"Two, obey our orders and complete all tests."

Freeman's face flashed a trace of surprise: "Who are you?"

"Where is Mao Zhengzhi?"

"After completing the test, can I be acquitted?"

"Does what you say count?"

Lv Yongchang's tone became more severe: "Correct your attitude, you just need to tell me your choice."

Silence.

In the picture, Freeman fell into silence.

From his frowning brows, Lv Yongchang could see that he was constantly considering the situation outside.

"Ten seconds." Lv Yongchang shouted again without any hesitation, "Tell me your choice."

"Zero, get ready. If he doesn't answer in ten seconds, throw him out of the Earth."

"Received." Zero's electronic synthesized voice sounded in the laboratory and the gravity cabin: "Nine, eight, seven..."

"Wait! Are you Lv Yongchang?!" Freeman suddenly figured out something, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.

"Three, two..."

The only response he got was a cold countdown from Zero.

"Two! I choose two!"

Looking at the silver-white mechanical hand grabbing him, Freeman's eyes were full of fear and he shouted loudly.

The mechanical hand stopped only ten centimeters away from him.
