Chapter 46: I Thought It Was New Year's

Regarding the armor worn by the Super Soldier, the basic structure has already been determined.

Use Nano Nerve to connect the Ceramic Steel power armor to human nerves, thus balancing defensiveness and flexibility.

It is just that there are some small problems within it that need optimization.

First, how to make the Ceramic Steel armor convenient to store; one cannot wear it all day long, can one? If that were the case, wouldn't one really become one of those big brutes?

Second, regarding the Nano Nerve, how to adapt it to different human bodies; this thing cannot just be connected as one pleases, as everyone is different, so there will be an issue of compatibility.

Besides these two problems that need to be solved, Ye Cang also has a bold idea.

He feels that nanotechnology can not only create nerves, but should also have other effects, such as forming a multi-functional combat suit on the surface of the human body...

One could survive in various extreme situations relying solely on this combat suit, but this idea undoubtedly increases the difficulty once again.

Just like that, Ye Cang entered "grind" mode.

For a whole month, he was solving the overall problems of the armor.

As for the cultivation of the Special Protein, that is not too troublesome; just increase the number of culture dishes and check the status of the Special Protein regularly.

As long as one puts their heart into it, there will be no problems.

This day, Ye Cang pulled another all-nighter.

Looking at the morning sun on the horizon, Ye Cang rubbed his old lower back.

"My back, it's about to break!" Ye Cang said with some helplessness.

"If things go on like this, I'm afraid I'll kick the bucket before anything else!"

"Fortunately, the Special Protein will mature today; once I become a generation of Super Soldier, the situation will be much better."

Saying this, Ye Cang stood up and stretched a big yawn, then gathered up the large pile of handwritten materials on the table.

Immediately after, he went to eat breakfast and then came back to rest.

However, Ye Cang had just laid down on the bed.

The next second, a crisp sound came from outside.

Pop!

The appearance of this crisp sound was like a signal.

The next second, the crisp sounds linked together into one, and did not stop for a full hour.

This made the sleepy and tired Ye Cang become impatient.

Who is this?

Setting off firecrackers early in the morning, and for so long, they really have no civic virtue!

Is there no end to it?

Thinking of this, Ye Cang sat up from the bed, took out his phone to carefully check the calendar, and after confirming that today was not any special day.

He found earplugs with a face full of resentment and put them on, then fell back onto the bed, and accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, Ye Cang fell into a deep sleep.

By the time Ye Cang woke up from his sleep, it was already 2:00 PM.

Upon getting up, Ye Cang couldn't wait to go to the laboratory, took out the already cultured Special Protein, and after some preparation.

Two test tubes containing a milky white liquid appeared on the laboratory bench.

Looking at the test tubes, Ye Cang couldn't help but mutter.

"The more I look at this, the more wrong it feels; it's easy to make people think dirty thoughts. Why does it have to be milky white? It's really hard to swallow!"

Just as Ye Cang finished speaking, the system suddenly spoke.

【Hey, it's clearly your thoughts that are too dirty, why are you shifting the blame onto the Special Protein? Besides, the Special Protein is white, isn't that normal?】

【If it were black, then it would become "Special Protein-Black"!】

Ye Cang:...

The system's words make so much sense!

He can't win an argument against it!

Thinking of this, Ye Cang gritted his teeth, picked up the two test tubes, and drank them down in one gulp!

When the milky white liquid entered his mouth, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Cang's face.

This thing is actually lactic acid bacteria flavored; it tastes quite good! I thought... cough cough cough.

One hour later...

Ye Cang rubbed his chin.

"I say, System, are you sure your Gene Optimization Technology is fine? I've been drinking it for an hour, why is there no change at all?"

"Is this thing of yours a fake?"

【Fake my foot!】

The system said with annoyance.

【I said, it is the Special Protein triggering a benign mutation, thereby allowing the genes to repair themselves; this process requires time, about a month.】

【If you think it's slow, you can increase some training; training will make this process faster. The more intense the training, the faster the process speeds up, and it can be shortened to as little as one week at the fastest!】

After saying this, the system went silent.

And after Ye Cang finished listening to these words, he nodded thoughtfully.

Training, huh?

Since that's the case, then I'll just give Shen a call.

Shen is an elite among special forces soldiers; having him train me is most appropriate, and it just so happens I can learn a thing or two from him.

After a call was placed, in just 5 minutes, Shen appeared before Ye Cang.

"Chief Engineer Ye, is there something you need?" Shen gave a salute.

Immediately, Ye Cang explained that he wanted Shen to train him.

At the very end, Ye Cang suddenly asked, "Right, Captain Shen, do you know what was going on this morning?"

"I don't know who was setting off firecrackers for so long at that time; if I hadn't checked the calendar, I would have thought it was the New Year!"

Hearing Ye Cang's words, Captain Shen revealed a strange expression.

How could Chief Engineer Ye not know anything at all!

Thinking of this, Captain Shen whispered an explanation into Ye Cang's ear.

When Ye Cang understood the cause and effect, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What he had thought were firecrackers were actually gunshots.

As for why there were gunshots, it was naturally because... people were being executed.

The reason... it is said that person went out for a trip at night, and upon returning, was extremely angry and immediately began a thorough investigation.

And then, many people were fed lead bullets.

At this moment, Ye Cang already understood 80 or 90 percent of it; if nothing went wrong, this had to do with the secret filming of the Luan Bird's ascent...

"So that's how it is, Captain Shen, thank you," Ye Cang said with a sincere face.

"Then I'll leave my training to you for the next period of time. You can train me in your own way; of course, don't try to train me to death right from the start, other than that, there's no problem."

Captain Shen nodded, indicating there was no problem.

Ever since he was transferred over, he had been given orders: no matter what Ye Cang said, as long as it did not involve illegal matters, he was to execute it unconditionally!

Just like that, Ye Cang began his brand-new life.

At 6 o'clock the next morning, he was dragged out of his blankets on time by Captain Shen, first running ten kilometers to warm up, and then doing some appetizers like obstacle training.

Anyway, after a whole day like this, Ye Cang was exhausted like a dog, and he didn't even know how he had managed to persist.

After eating dinner at night and lying down on the bed, Ye Cang went straight into a deep sleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was dragged out by Captain Shen again to continue repeating yesterday's life.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

After training ended on this day, Ye Cang looked in the mirror.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ye Cang nodded with satisfaction.

His former self had looked like a skeleton spirit.
