[Item Module: 80,000 Euros/set]
[Alchemy Station Recipe Expansion: 800,000 Euros]
These were the modules Luoqi planned to install.
Compound Five is extremely potent; it allows people to gain special abilities, and its upper limit is very high.
However, its drawbacks are also obvious. First is the side effect; the risk of injection for adults is high, and for ordinary people, only a very small number can luckily survive.
But this problem is easy to solve. The description states that sufficient physical strength can ignore this reaction, and a body that has been injected with Soldier Serum can completely meet this requirement.
The most crucial drawback is that while the upper limit for gaining special abilities is high, the lower limit is very low.
At the top, there are the strongest modified individuals like Homelander, capable of flying, burrowing, and shooting lasers from their eyes. At the bottom, there's the 'Dick Hero' with only an extra-long dick.
In short, any ability is possible to obtain; it's entirely up to luck, or perhaps, talent.
Although the uncertainty is great, Luoqi still chose Compound Five, because no matter what kind of ability is obtained, the injected superhumans will more or less have an increase in physical strength.
If a powerful special ability can be obtained, it's definitely a huge profit. Even if a slightly worse one is obtained, it's not a loss.
Furthermore, the temporary Compound Five in the integrated package was also one of the potions Luoqi was interested in.
Although this potion has significant side effects and is not suitable for personal use, it is absolutely perfect as a pharmaceutical for sale.
When Ascension Technology develops in the future and has enough strength to release temporary Compound Five, this powerful potion will definitely be snatched up by major corporations.
Exchanging it now can also be considered an early investment.
After all, the -20% package discount is quite appealing, and 800,000 Euros is affordable for Luoqi at present.
Having made his decision, Luoqi installed the modules and then came to Ascension Technology's secret laboratory.
Luoqi had now moved production equipment such as the workbench and alchemy station from the studio here.
After all, compared to the clinic, this place is a bit safer, and it's also more convenient to come here for operations on weekdays.
In the laboratory, Lao Wei was slacking off watching a boxing match, while the alchemy station behind him was continuously producing Advanced Soldier Serum.
Lao Wei did not break his promise; he came to the laboratory to help Luoqi develop Ascension Technology. Currently, this laboratory is mainly used by Lao Wei.
Currently, there are no research projects needed for the time being, so Lao Wei watched boxing matches while producing serum potions; he wasn't picky about the location either.
"L, why are you here? Are things upstairs finished?"
Seeing Luoqi arrive at the laboratory, Lao Wei was curious why Luoqi had time to come here today; he had thought Luoqi would be very busy today.
"Almost finished. The rest are insignificant orders; it doesn't matter if they come back tomorrow to discuss them.
I came here mainly about the new potion."
"There's a new potion?"
"Yeah, I'll show you."
Luoqi came to the alchemy station and stopped the one that was producing Soldier Serum.
There was still a long time until the delivery date agreed upon with Arasaka, and the potions Luoqi was to provide to Arasaka were already mostly made.
It could be said that there was no production pressure for this batch of orders at all; Luoqi could even deliver the goods to Arasaka within the next few days.
But he naturally wouldn't do that. Letting Arasaka know the true production efficiency of the serum potions was not a good thing. Luoqi wouldn't notify Arasaka that the potions were finished until the last day.
Luoqi brought up the recipe and showed it to Lao Wei.
"Compound Five, what is the effect of this potion this time?"
Lao Wei looked at the name of the potion on the recipe and asked, from the complexity of the recipe and the various rare materials, Lao Wei could already sense that this potion was not simple.
It might be a potion even more powerful than Super Soldier Serum.
Although he was already used to Luoqi bringing out technology he had never seen before, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked every time.
"It's not easy for me to explain the effect of the potion in words; you'll likely only understand it after seeing it with your own eyes.
In short, this potion is very powerful, and it might even exceed your understanding, Lao Wei. Just be mentally prepared." Luoqi shook his head; this kind of supernatural power wasn't that easy to explain.
And Lao Wei responded with a light chuckle.
"You've already brought me too many shocks; I was prepared for this kind of thing a long time ago."
Luoqi showed Lao Wei the Compound Five recipe, and then ordered a batch of raw materials from the suppliers.
Now with the identity of Ascension Technology, obtaining many materials has become much simpler. It didn't take long for Luoqi to get all the materials sorted.
But it would still take some time for all the materials to be ready.
Luoqi also confidently handed over the production of Compound Five to Lao Wei, asking Lao Wei to keep an eye on the material progress. Since he had nothing else to do, Luoqi prepared to go next door to the Special Operations Department to take a look.
As soon as he entered, Luoqi saw David lying to the side, Jack standing, and... Rebecca gliding on the wall?
At this moment, Rebecca was gliding rapidly along the wall. The moment she saw Luoqi enter, she kicked off the wall with her small feet and leaped into the air.
"Woohoo!"
Rebecca shouted, and just before landing, she kicked off again with her legs, performing another jump in the air without a point of leverage.
Two consecutive jumps allowed Rebecca to instantly cross more than half the room, and she pounced straight into Luoqi's arms.
"Rebecca, how is it? Are you getting used to using it?"
Luoqi supported Rebecca, who was hanging on him, with his hand and asked with a smile.
Rebecca's ability to perform wall gliding and double jumps was naturally due to the Pilot Mobility Gear.
The ultra-high mobility provided by the Pilot Mobility Gear allows the user to move at high speed on the battlefield, performing actions such as wall gliding, slide tackling, and double jumps.
"Well, I still need to get used to it."
Rebecca voluntarily jumped down from Luoqi and replied to him.
This was also Rebecca's first time using this equipment. With her physical fitness, she could now control the mobility gear well, but she still needed to familiarize herself with the operations and gradually apply them in actual combat.
"Then practice more. Oh, right, how is that kid David?"
Luoqi patted Rebecca's head to encourage her, and then inquired about David's situation.
"I gave him that training chip for training; it will probably take some more time. I'll have him get familiar with the team and tasks these past few days. I believe he will grow up quickly."
Jack ignored the small gestures between Luoqi and Rebecca, looked at David, and stated his plan.
And Luoqi also nodded. He was quite relieved to hand David over to Jack. Jack was very patient with people, and he believed he could train David into an excellent mercenary.
...
Time flew by, and soon all the materials required for refining Compound Five were complete.
Just today, Luoqi received a notification from Lisandra, and Lao Wei also contacted him asking him to come to the lab.
