Chapter 685 - 209: Pregnant? (2)
He boldly combined the extract of the Golden Blue Healing Mushroom with the Martial Emperor Liquid.It turned out that he and Su Xiaocai were both correct.
This combination can solidify genes, which is unsuitable for use on humans.
After all, solidifying genes is temporary, like forcibly putting a person into a state of suspended animation, and when time pushes forward again, the side effects could be significant.
But when used on the Insect Man, there are no such concerns, and it might even become a super lethal weapon against them.
The Insect Man can adapt to biochemical weapons and poisons.
However, they can’t resist the inherent limitations of their bodies, and once their genes are solidified, they can’t even repair themselves.
Su Xiaocai jumped up with joy and hugged him excitedly, "Ji Li, you are amazing, did you really make it?"
Ji Li humbly replied, "I gradually figured it out based on the experimental plan you provided. I tested it on a lab mouse, and once the drug’s effect wore off, it died and couldn’t be saved. We need to try it on a live Insect Man."
He also felt the pride that Su Xiaocai must have felt every time she developed something.
So when the good news came, he couldn’t wait to share it.
Hugging Su Xiaocai’s relaxed and limp body, his excited heartbeat gradually calmed down.
After the excitement, it was time to experiment, "Let’s go, we need to make more products and create a few warheads, then give them to Admiral Bai for testing."
This success is worth celebrating. Things that can be grown on a large scale are the cheapest; previously, ordinary soldiers had to spend thousands of dollars just to kill one cowardly insect soldier.
If this really allows ordinary soldiers to easily kill the Insect Man, the cost will be significantly reduced, possibly to under a hundred dollars.
Reduced costs indirectly mean a reduced threat from the Insect Man. Even with the Empire’s covetous eyes, the Ten Stars will have the capacity to deal with them.
After hastily finishing their dinner, the two went back to work, collaborating closely on experiments. Ji Li wrote a thesis while Su Xiaocai worked on weaponizing the product. They sat side by side, undisturbed by each other, yet in a warm and harmonious environment.
Xiao Wanzi, holding the large Ah Bao, came to Su Xiaocai’s side, and it took a while for Su Xiaocai to notice.
"What’s wrong, Xiao Wanzi?" After being raised for so many days, Ah Bao’s temperament had become much more docile. It ate well, had plenty of activity space, and its fur was shiny and smooth, in no way inferior to Huahua’s condition.
"I think Ah Bao is pregnant."
Su Xiaocai quickly put down what she was doing to confirm she hadn’t misheard.
Only then did she ask, "How did you find out?"
Xiao Wanzi was extremely excited: "When I was feeding Huahua and Ah Bao, Ah Bao wanted to eat the meat in Huahua’s bowl."
On normal days, Ah Bao avoided that meat completely, but today it actually went for it, which was very unusual.
Ordinary cats can’t eat Insect Man meat; it would turn them into insects.
Su Xiaocai tried to hide her smile, but the corners of her lips stubbornly curved upward.
"Ji Li, Ji Li, come and help see if it’s really pregnant?"
Ji Li turned his head, his eyes blank; he was so focused that his brain didn’t react to what he heard.
Slowly realizing, did Su Xiaocai say pregnant? His first instinct was to ask, who is pregnant?
Then he saw the cat with spots and stripes in front of Su Xiaocai.
"Is it Huahua’s?"
"Huahua is the only male here." The tabby cat had a tracker installed, and it could be seen wherever it went.
"Besides it, who else?"
Huahua is a very peculiar breed, and cats are mammals. If Huahua’s paws are so dangerous, in case the kitten harms the mother cat’s body, it must be rescued or artificially assisted in time.
Ji Li: "Does it just need pregnancy confirmation now?"
Su Xiaocai: "Yes."
"If it’s confirmed, won’t it be taken out for artificial gestation?"
"No," said Su Xiaocai coldly, "If Huahua’s breed mutates from the maternal womb, Ah Bao’s hormonal changes will differ from those of a pet cat. Taking it out would prevent this change from completing, and I would find it even more bothersome."
"Poor Ah Bao," Su Xiaocai touched Ah Bao’s chin.
Ah Bao’s pupils shrank, and its erect ears drooped down. It was a little afraid of Su Xiaocai and didn’t like getting close to her.
But it didn’t dare to scratch with its paws; without Su Xiaocai patting it back, Huahua would scold it harshly.
Ji Li took off his gloves and put on another pair, "Take it upstairs."
Ah Bao obediently accepted Ji Li’s embrace, and Su Xiaocai felt a bit jealous, "The first time you held it, it didn’t resist at all. When I hold it, it would rather die than be willing."
The cat perched on Ji Li’s arm glared warily at Su Xiaocai, as if she was a wicked witch who kidnaps cats.
Ji Li couldn’t help but smile, "Once it has kittens, you can get closer and bond with them."
"Forget it, I only like smart ones like Huahua who know what’s appropriate." Speaking of which, where did Huahua go?
