Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Chapter 248: Source Rail Dilemma, the Legend of the Research Institute!

Damn, why make it so grand?

Cheng Ye muttered to himself, feeling a bit of a headache, as he quickly stepped into the room, eager to explain himself briefly.

But as his gaze swept over the inside of the laboratory, he found that although there were more than a dozen people sitting inside, only one person was wearing the formal researcher uniform; the rest were all in intern attire.

The laboratory had a lot of instruments, including four massive transparent cultivation chambers that reached the ceiling, connected by pipelines to a central silver cylinder, filled with colorless transparent liquid in which green treasure worms floated.

Compared to the green treasure worms seen in the wild, the individuals in the cultivation chambers were noticeably larger and appeared healthier and more vibrant.

“Welcome, Inspector Cheng!”

The sole researcher stood up and started clapping, quickly followed by the dozen interns who clapped uniformly.

The previously somewhat subdued laboratory became lively in an instant; the arrival of Cheng Ye, an “outsider,” unexpectedly broke the quiet atmosphere inside.

“Inspector Cheng, nice to meet you, I look forward to your guidance!”

The blonde, blue-eyed Western researcher stepped forward, respectfully introducing himself, “I am Jenkins, a Level 1 researcher at the institute, currently responsible for analyzing the energy conversion equation in green treasure worms.”

“Energy conversion equation?” Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow, showing some curiosity.

“Yes.”

Jenkins nodded and explained, “The green treasure worm, despite being just a common infection source, possesses extremely rare abilities — it can continuously absorb energy to undergo self-evolution and can briefly stimulate and amplify energy. Successfully analyzing this ability would provide a crucial boost to our weapons development in Happiness City.”

“Weapons development…” Cheng Ye was stunned, then instinctively shook his head.

In his view, the most remarkable advantage of the green treasure worm was clearly its adaptability.

After all, it could absorb Tan Ming’s power and even transform into Tan Ming’s emissary, proving its genetic strength.

Moreover, based on the four traits analyzed from green treasure worms, they hardly seemed related to weapons.

Could the inspiration to develop weapons from it have come from the phenomenon of ordinary people transforming into Green Giants after being infected by green treasure worms?

“Hmm?” Shi Xu, standing behind Cheng Ye, noticed his reaction and couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “Inspector Cheng, do you perhaps have alternative insights on the research direction of green treasure worms?”

“Insights are too much to say.”

Cheng Ye pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, “I’ve interacted with quite a few infected bodies while on duty at the inspection station, so I’ve accumulated some observation experience and have a few immature ideas, that’s all.”

In his mind, he vaguely guessed something.

From Shi Xu’s attitude at this moment to the institute specially granting him Level 2 researcher access, there was evidently a special consideration behind it.

Moreover, back by the White Water River, he had publicly removed the hazmat suit he was wearing, and Shi Xu had witnessed it clearly.

More than ten days had passed, the hazmat suit was probably already analyzed by the institute, otherwise Shi Xu wouldn’t specifically ask if he had any insights.

Of course, an inspector understanding research matters would reveal anomalies as long as his relevant data is retrieved.

But now that his identity and status are both established, as long as his behavior isn’t too out of line, expressing these ideas within the scope of his access should be problem-free.

“I think perhaps we can research starting from the adaptability or rather the evolution capability of green treasure worms…”

Cheng Ye carefully chose his words, presenting his suggestions carefully, trying not to appear like an outsider giving random advice.

“Uh…” Jenkins showed a bitter smile, helplessly explaining, “Inspector Cheng, you may not know, but green treasure worms are classified as inert infection sources, and our active inducement has almost no effect on them. Currently, all we can do is observe their feeding process and use equipment to monitor their biological reactions, through which we backtrack the energy change patterns.”

“The adaptability and evolution capability you mentioned cannot be captured with the reaction signals given our current equipment technology level, not to mention precise monitoring.”

“Equipment…”

Cheng Ye repeated the word quietly, suddenly vaguely understanding why the scientific efforts of Happiness City have consistently struggled to achieve breakthrough progress.

Although the source rail knowledge obtained from Sang Hezheng recorded nothing but outdated technology, it nonetheless provided him with a basic understanding of research models in this field.

The mainstream research on source rail technology currently splits mainly into two approaches:

The first is observational simulation.

Its core logic is “passive capture + precise matching + principle analysis” in gradual exploration.

Technicians use various precision devices to conduct full-dimensional monitoring of infection sources in natural states, capturing the biological reactions and energy fluctuation signals during the processes of parasitism, replication and proliferation, and response to environmental changes.

Once the monitored data is precisely matched with the known biological capability database, attempts are made to analyze the underlying principles behind the reactions, such as gene expression regulatory mechanisms, energy conversion pathways, and biomolecular interaction rules.

This process resembles deciphering a complicated codebook, and once decoded, the infection source’s natural capabilities can be converted into practically applicable technological products through bionic engineering, gene editing, and other technical means.

The second is active inducement.

If observational simulation is about decoding the existing capabilities of infection sources, then active inducement is about uncovering and shaping their potential capabilities.
