433 Human Life Extension Potion

Everyone nodded. Just as they were about to ask more questions, Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head appeared.

“Fellow colleagues, Comrade Wu Mo has traveled far and is quite tired. Everyone, go back and rest!”

Only then did his colleagues leave one after another.

After everyone dispersed, Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head immediately invited Wu Mo to the office.

“Chief Engineer Wu, you’re really amazing. You’re not only a role model for all researchers but also the chief judge of China’s highest scientific research award. You’re also the chief support officer. Your achievements far exceed ours!” Chief Engineer Li sighed.

“You’re right. I’m only a senior colonel, but you’ve been busy, Chief Engineer Wu.”

After the hospital head finished speaking, he handed over two cups of hot tea.

Xu Wanqing and Wu Mo took the tea.

“Chief Engineer Li, you and the hospital head are too modest. In the early years, the two of you took great care of me and contributed greatly.”

The hospital head smiled and asked, “Now that you’re back from vacation, do you have any ideas about your future research?”

Wu Mo kept quiet for a moment. After all, he could not say that he was researching biological modification technology, right?

Therefore, Wu Mo chose to answer tactfully.

“I’ve already made some arrangements. I plan to move from the macro domain to the micro domain.

“Previously, the old chief advised me that the logistics system and relevant departments would find it difficult to digest the development of too many advanced big-scale equipment. He suggested that I move in another direction.

“Therefore, I’ve decided to reevaluate the field of individual combat.”

The lifespan increasing potion could only be used by one warrior at a time. It was obviously a single soldier’s equipment.

Wu Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.

Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head were slightly confused. Wu Mo’s answer really confused them.

“What do you mean by individual combat? Are you referring to exoskeletons or armor?

“The Chinese army has apparently arrived at a dead end. If you want to research individual equipment, I’m guessing that it’s likely going to be nanotechnology equipment,” Chief Engineer Li speculated.

Chief Engineer Li’s full name was Li Yuanwei. He was a rare academician specially appointed by the military to assist and guide Wu Mo’s research.

Since the military held Wu Mo in high regard, he had received special instructions from them.

As long as Wu Mo did not make any major mistakes in his research direction, he could decide on his own research topic.

Wu Mo denied his previous speculation.

“Chief Engineer Li, my research isn’t about nanotechnology but a plan to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers from the inside out.”

Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head were still confused. Meanwhile, Xu Wanqing could sense that his plan did not involve nanotechnology equipment.

It involved increasing the soldiers’ combat strength from the inside out, which was really hard to figure out.

“Little Wu, are you considering adding mechanical modifications to the soldiers’ bodies?” the hospital head made a guess.

Chief Engineer Li immediately disagreed. “I think it has to be something else. That’s not feasible at the moment.”

As such, the leaders could not help but feel even more confused.

“Could it be biological modifications?” the hospital head asked.

Wu Mo could not help but laugh.

“I’ll just be direct!

“But don’t be surprised. I made my decision after careful consideration.”

Since things had come to this, Wu Mo decided to be honest. After all, there was no need to hide anything.

“Just as you expected, I would like to study biotechnology.”

“To be specific, it’s technology that can extend one’s lifespan. It also has a certain effect of rejuvenation. In other words, it can improve the user’s physique to a certain extent, even though it may not seem obvious.”

The meeting room fell into a dead silence.

Biological modification technology?

It was not a new field, and many countries were already researching subjects related to it.

The European countries in the last century were classic examples.

China had also dabbled in this field before, and the core theme revolved around qigong. Even the entire army had adopted it.

However, the results of these studies had not been encouraging.

Now, Wu Mo was proposing to research biological modification technology?

“Chief Engineer Wu, can you really do research on biotechnology?” the hospital head asked hesitantly.

“As far as I know, you’re skilled in forging equipment, aren’t you?”

Wu Mo nodded slightly and replied, “You’re right. I specialize in equipment forging, but in my spare time, I also dabble in the field of biological modification.

“I’ve thought about it and made my decision.

“I believe that there’s no problem in researching this.

“Besides, I already have a preliminary idea, and I even have some results.”

This remark shocked everyone present.

Chief Engineer Li, the hospital head, and even the usually calm Xu Wanqing were slightly taken aback at this moment.

They stared at Wu Mo with their eyes wide open because they realized that increasing one’s lifespan was the ultimate proposition.

Even if the effect was minimal, even if they could only extend a person’s lifespan by a few days, it was enough to change things.

The head and Chief Engineer Li subconsciously thought that Wu Mo was joking.

“Chief Engineer Wu, China doesn’t celebrate April Fool’s Day. Stop teasing us!”

The two leaders looked worried.

On the contrary, Xu Wanqing had full confidence in Wu Mo.

“I believe in Chief Engineer Wu,” she said firmly. “He has the ability to develop biological modification technology.”

Xu Wanqing’s words eased Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head’s mood.

“Now that I think about it, you do seem capable. Also, it would be impossible for me to stop you from researching this project.”

Wu Mo’s current military rank was even higher than that of the hospital head, so the latter could not interfere with his work.

“Thank you for your understanding. I will inform the old chief of this news.”

Chief Engineer Li and the hospital head then asked Wu Mo a little about his life. Half an hour later, Wu Mo returned to his dormitory.

“The dormitories in the research institute are really the same. It’s as if they got the same designer.

“Let me inform the old chief first.”

This cross-border scientific research journey was bound to be fraught with thorns and difficulties. Therefore, he needed a mighty figure to clear the obstacles ahead.

The old chief was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Not only was he Wu Mo’s direct superior in the field of scientific research, but he was also one of the most authoritative leaders in the military.

Wu Mo quickly dialed the old chief’s number.

“Chief, we haven’t talked on the phone for more than half a year. How have you been?”

“Cut the crap. If you have something to say, say it. Don’t beat around the bush.”

“Haha, you really understand me!” Wu Mo then told him his plan.

“Chief, I’ve successfully completed my previous project. I’m preparing to start a new project now.”

After hearing Wu Mo’s words, the old chief was immediately filled with interest.

“Tell me, what are you planning to do?”

“I’m going to develop a potion to extend human life!”

“What? Could you repeat that?” The old general sounded surprised.

Wu Mo was stunned for a moment before he quickly explained, “Chief, I’m talking about a Human Life Extension Potion. It can increase the user’s lifespan and strengthen the user’s physique at the same time. It will also have a rejuvenation effect.”

Right then, the other end of the phone was silent.
