Xia Xiu stood in the core area of ​​the laboratory, staring calmly at the display screen in front of him.

With [Adam]'s assistance, the data stream unfolding line by line on the instrument was quickly loaded, and the light of the screen reflected in his golden pupils, reflecting a cold luster.

[Loading completed——]

[The Balrog Project is being launched——]

[Loading completed——]

As the data unfolded, a huge document appeared on the screen, describing in detail the anomalous characteristic called "The Balrog".

Xia Xiu put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, leaned forward slightly, and studied the information carefully.

[The Balrog Project is being launched——]

[Abnormal Axis I: Balrog {Shrink-}]

[Abnormal characteristics of the Axis: The Balrog is suspected to be a conscious creature composed of flames created by the "Holy Spark".

(Note: The information provided by Mr. Marshall of MC&D pointed out that Sparks always like to leave messages on their creations or where they have stayed, but there is no Spark message on this anomalous item or another item, so whether it belongs to Sparks

Creation is doubtful.)

The specific composition of the Balrog is not clear yet, but it is known that its core structure is invisible and cannot be detected by any known means, and can only appear through its external flames.]

【Main features:

I. Morphological changes:

In its most basic form, the Balrog is just a small flame, similar to a lit match.

As it acquires more fuel, it grows in size and intelligence, eventually forming a humanoid form made of flames.

II.Intelligent improvement:

A Balrog's intelligence is directly proportional to its size and amount of fuel.

When it reaches a certain scale, it will show complex behaviors, such as using flames to burn words on the wall to communicate, or using high-temperature and high-pressure air and flame blasts to "speak".

III.Self-replication:

When the Balrog's size and fuel amount reach an unknown threshold, it will split into two new individuals. If there is enough fuel, it can "split" after becoming larger, creating more fire monsters, and eventually forming a group of fire monsters.

Legion.

However, these individuals are hostile to each other and often seek to eliminate each other, especially when fuel is limited.

IV. Behavioral characteristics:

The main goal is to get more fuel to continue growing.

As its size increases, its intelligence also increases, showing the ability to learn and imitate. At the same time, it is insatiable for fuel - "it wants to burn everything, and it dares to burn anything."]

[Axis Anomaly II: Eternal Magic Candle/Eternal Burning Fire {Shrink-}]

[Abnormal characteristics of the axis: a 157mm tall white candle, apparently made of standard butter.

It has a diameter of 33 mm, a conical top, and a wick length of 7 mm. In a non-oxygen-free environment, the wick will continue to burn, producing a stable flame about 24 mm high. This flame can be temporarily extinguished by traditional methods, such as removing the oxygen

, immersed in non-flammable liquid or blown by strong airflow.

However, once these inhibitory factors are removed, the flame immediately reignites, similar to a "magic candle."

The butter is hardly reduced during burning.

Even during the longest period of non-containment (lasting several weeks), its butter concentration and overall height did not decrease.

In addition, any flammable or semi-flammable substance will ignite once it comes into contact with the flame of the candle and cannot be extinguished by conventional means until it is completely burned out.]

【Main features:

I.The eternal flame:

The flame can be extinguished by blowing air, pouring water, or completely immersing the candle in water, but as soon as the interference is stopped, the flame will burn again immediately. Even in places with no air at all (vacuum environment) or extremely cold places, the flame will

It will also continue to burn.

II.Eternally burning fire:

If the flame of an eternal candle is used to ignite other things (such as paper, wood), those things will also become the flame fuel of the "eternal fire". This is another abnormal mechanism.

No matter whether you pour water on the flame that has left the candle, spray it with a fire extinguisher, or even cover it with a flame retardant material, it will be useless. It will not stop until the fuel is completely burned out.]

Seeing this, Xia Xiu already had a bad feeling.

The flame of the candle cannot be extinguished, and the Balrog cannot satisfy his greed for fuel.

Putting the two together is simply a disaster destined to be unstoppable.

He reached out his hand and gently touched the edge of the instrument, feeling the temperature of the metal surface.

He whispered to himself:

"It seems that the Kailasel family wants to use these two anomalies to create an army that cannot be extinguished."

He rubbed his temples vigorously, took a deep breath, and continued to focus on the content scrolling on the screen.

[MC&D Company combined two anomalies and proposed a weaponization concept that combines two anomalies in the Marshall Recovery Plan - the Balrog Humanoid Weaponization Experiment Concept - and combined with the support of the think tank provided by the Hermes Foundation, we will begin

The first generation of weaponization experiments——]

[Experiment code name: Project Pyrokin]

【"Turning fire into flesh and blood, turning destruction into weapons."】

Xia Xiu's brows gradually tightened, and his expression became increasingly grim.

"It's the Hermes Consortium again, this time there is an additional MC&D company... It seems that they have never planned to give up on human gene editing technology."

His eyes looked at the records of the experimental targets.

[Experimental goal]

[Combining the flame anomaly of the Balrog and the biological potential of the human carrier, develop a weaponized humanoid individual with the ability to control abnormal flames.]

[By combining the regeneration and resistance properties of "Eternal Burning Fire", we try to solve the problem of the Balrog's high corrosiveness to the carrier and the human body's unbearable heat. 】

"Sure enough, the final result is still here..."

The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven said with a calm voice and an inexplicable tone.

His eyes continued to scan the information.

[The following is the theoretical and technical framework:

I. Balrog core embedding:

Use secondary abnormal anchor technology to limit the flame core of the Balrog within the experimental body, limiting the spread of the flame and preventing loss of control.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! II. "Eternal Burning Fire" regeneration support:

The skin of the experimental subject is fused with the Eternal Fire Regenerative Parasite to provide the human body with continuous repair capabilities, allowing the skin and organs to continuously regenerate, providing a steady stream of fuel for the flames, and at the same time increasing the resistance of the organs and skin to resist flames.

III. Dragonborn Gene Enhancement:

Genetic modification based on the "dragon" bloodline gives the experimental subject scaly skin and internal dragon organs, improving resistance and high temperature tolerance, allowing its fuel value to be fully utilized.】

If Xia Xiu evaluates it from the perspective of purely abnormal weaponization experiments, it can be seen that these researchers are trying to use the dual transformation of genes and abnormal characteristics to create an "armor" that can ignore physiological limits in high-temperature and high-pollution environments.

The perfect weapon".

And this kind of weaponization must sacrifice part of something that is sometimes very important to human beings, but sometimes not so important-humanity.

His eyes continued to move downwards, landing on the lab report.

"Pain suppression..." he whispered to himself.

"Depriving the sense of pain? Abandoning even the most basic self-protection mechanism of living things, and really planning to engrave 'destruction' into the genes."

[Failure Case Report 01: Pain Suppression System Test]

[Experimental Subject Number: Experimental Subject-Flame Fist-05]

[Background: In order to ensure that the experimental subject can withstand the dual abnormal fusion of Balrog and Eternal Fire, the project team designed a pain suppression system based on nerve block. This system attempts to reduce the pain caused by the regeneration process of Eternal Fire.

Severe pain, and the burning sensation caused by the erosion of the flames of the Balrog.】

[Experimental process: Experimental subject-05 was implanted with an improved pain suppression device, which worked in conjunction with the regenerative ability of the Eternal Fire.

After part of the Balrog's flame core was injected, the subject's skin began to be abnormally charred, and the scale system regenerated rapidly but accompanied by large area burning.

The pain suppression system successfully blocked the pain feedback of the experimental subject, and the experimental subject showed an extremely calm state.】

[Results: In the early stage, the experimental subjects showed significant high temperature tolerance, but soon the system feedback showed that the nerves in the body were severely damaged.

The suppression of pain caused the flame erosion of the Eternal Fire to go out of control, and the experimental subject was completely carbonized without the conscious response in time.】

[Conclusion: Although the effect of pain suppression is significant, it makes the experimental subject unable to detect physical crises and ultimately unable to resist the erosion of the eternal fire - this plan needs to continue to be optimized. 】

Xia Xiu looked away from the screen, and when he turned around, the triple jade-like halo behind him exuded a soft but heart-stopping brilliance, reflecting a faint halo in the hot air of the laboratory.

His cold eyes swept across the scorched walls and melted instruments in the laboratory, and finally settled on [Experimental Subject-05] in the center again.

He now understood where the other person's features came from, and what the strange expression on the other person's face meant.
To be continued...
