Chapter 156: Advance Preparation and Testing

BoKen showed great interest.

And the doctor no longer faced Sui Bian, but turned around, his gaze blazing as he looked toward the OriginalBodies gradually walking in.

!

The OriginalBodies, feeling a bit hair‑raising under his stare, chose to ignore BoKen, came straight to Sui Bian's side, and in unison said:

"Father."

"Hmm," Sui Bian replied lightly, and at the same time looked up, scanning the group of youngsters.

He seemed indeed more composed; in his gestures, he also bore a more military bearing.

The researchers beside them did not display excessive surprise at the OriginalBodies' massive physiques.

After all, most of those present had taken part in the G‑gland research project.

Watching Sui Bian and the OriginalBodies interact harmoniously like father and son, BoKen's frantic demeanor gradually steadied.

In fact, the genius's true research target was Sui Bian.

Four years had passed since Sui Bian last provided blood and tissue samples.

And in the past two years, Sui Bian had never deliberately displayed his abilities, yet he hadn't concealed much from the staff either.

For instance, easily making Ares's weapons and armor yield, or possessing Spiritual Energy comparable to—no, far beyond—that of the OriginalBodies, all indicate that Sui Bian's current physique far exceeds his former state.

Although Sui Bian has emphasized that he is not a god, can humans truly reach such a level?

BoKen harbored a strongly skeptical attitude.

Fortunately, madness aside, the doctor is usually very businesslike and would never proactively propose studying Sui Bian himself.

But curiosity!

Clearly right before his eyes, yet unable to investigate, for a genius doctor it's like a kitten scratching an itch inside his heart—truly painful and unbearable.

At that moment, Sui Bian's gaze flicked toward BoKen.

!

BoKen instantly curbed his intense curiosity.

Curiosity killed the cat…

And Sui Bian, even without Spiritual Perception, could guess what BoKen was thinking.

He ignored BoKen's solitary speculation and continued addressing the OriginalBodies: "Later, cooperate with Doctor BoKen and the others to complete the first DivineBody test, maintain a steady mindset, imagine them as part of your bodies, and perhaps you can achieve unexpected results."

"Understood (yes), Father," the OriginalBodies nodded in unison.

Sui Bian turned his gaze to Shengjilesi and instructed, "Especially you, Shengjilesi, I need you to unleash the DivineBody's maximum potential."

"I know, Father," Shengjilesi replied in a deep voice.

Shengjilesi understood the deeper meaning in Sui Bian's words.

"Very well." Sui Bian looked at all the researchers and ordered: "From now on it's up to you; prepare quickly."

"Yes, sir."

The people who received Sui Bian's instructions began to act.

The OriginalBodies followed a group of researchers out of the observation room.

Soon, only Sui Bian remained in the observation room, along with four armed security personnel standing silently on either side of the automatic doors.

Sui Bian looked again toward the massive underground space outside the observation room and said, "Red Queen, White Queen."

The virtual images of the Red and White Queens appeared on Sui Bian's left and right.

"Red Queen, you will monitor everything near Ge Beike Li, and also, using three Eagle‑class deep‑space observation devices, scan the current and projected orbital outer space of Mars to locate non‑human large carriers."

"White Queen, inform the Eastern European manufacturing plant and engineering department, and have them focus all work on the modification and production of Precursors‑type."

"Within three days, equip the existing three with Optical Camouflage devices; within sixty‑five days, I need three more Precursors‑type similarly fitted with Optical Camouflage."

"Yes, sir," the Red Queen replied without hesitation.

In fact, when construction was underway at the Ge Beike Li Research Center, this area was designated a restricted zone.

But Sui Bian needs the Red Queen's absolute guarantee to provide the DivineBody with a fully green testing environment, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

As for the deep‑space observation, the hope is that the Red Queen can capture traces of the "Ravager" exploration fleet, though this hope is rather slim.

Finding a relatively large dwarf planet within the Solar System is like searching for a needle in the ocean, let alone locating a fleet of uncertain size.

If a single sweep could find it, that would indicate the fleet's scale is unprecedentedly massive.

"Sir, I have already relayed your command," the White Queen also responded.

The two AIs, through Sui Bian's command, have assessed the imminent threat level to humanity and, without any hesitation, immediately assisted the company in entering high‑speed operation.

Meanwhile.

In a equipment room beneath the observation room.

The OriginalBodies, now wearing nano‑suits resembling Thor's hammer, stood on a small platform in the equipment room, undergoing comprehensive inspection and adjustment by researchers wearing masks and gloves.

The garments clung to the OriginalBodies' skin, and at the back of the head and spine there was a metallic‑feeling slot device.

Finally, the researcher placed helmets on the OriginalBodies, each with only a single red line across the eyes.

BoKen, Rebecca, and Alekxia, the three supervisors, stood at the front edge of this row of small platforms.

Seeing the OriginalBodies fully equipped, BoKen, as the primary responsible person, fully composed his previous demeanor and said seriously:

"Everyone, the garments you are wearing are pilot suits that can form a neural link with the DivineBody; the connection process should be painless, though that is only theoretical.

However, rest assured, as Mr. Sui just said, the DivineBody is part of you; you must trust it."

"." The OriginalBodies silently nodded.

"Don't be nervous, children," Rebecca said with a smile.

"If you perform well, you don't have to write me a thesis when you come back; if you perform poorly, you'll have to write twenty pages." Alekxia said, putting on a stern teacher's pose.

"..." The OriginalBodies nodded again.

Next.

A group of technical staff wearing white full-body protective suits led the OriginalBodies out of the equipment room to the vicinity of the blood pool beneath the observation room.

"Drip!" A bead of blood that slid from Lilisi's toe happened to fall into the blood pool.

At this time, the technical staff led the OriginalBodies to board separate open-top transport vehicles, heading to the large platforms on either side where the DivineBodies were parked.

The transport vehicle carrying Shengjilesi, however, went to the central position.

The giant weapon, originally lying down, was assisted by the same large mechanical arm to change into a seated posture with its head facing downward.

Arriving at the center, they got off the vehicle.

Shengjilesi and two technical staff rode the hanging elevator together, being sent to the rear neck of the DivineBody.

Not long after.

The valve that opened at the rear of the neck appeared in Shengjilesi's field of view, and a white cylindrical driving bolt was protruding from the body through this valve.

The elevator came to a stop at the left side of the driving bolt, and under the guidance and assistance of the two technical staff, Shengjilesi sat into the driving bolt.

"Click-clack! Click-clack!"

At the same time, the seat and the slot on the back of the driving suit quickly engaged.
