Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Insect Mechanic (Part 2)_1

When Ge Fu turned the company’s weapons, rushed overnight into a Water Gun, he felt his life had plunged into madness.

Yet, versus his actions over these three days, that was nothing.

Indeed, in the span of these three days, he’d become the first designer within the United Government’s jurisdiction to create equipment for Horn Bugs, and what drove him even more insane was that these mutant creatures, which had once beaten him to a pulp, seemed to suddenly possess a kind of wisdom, cooperating intensely with his designs.

Despite the insanity, Ge Fu took pleasure in it.

After fixing old-style watches and outdated electronics for so long, he once again felt alive. The feeling of forgoing sleep and being flooded with endless ideas upon opening his eyes each day was intoxicating.

The Law Enforcers department satisfied all his material needs, which made Ge Fu realize that he might be participating in a project significant enough to go down in history.

What satisfied him more was that this time, he didn’t need to play to anyone’s tune; he could implement all his ideas into his designs.

With only less than four hours of sleep over three days, Lu Xiang, when she saw him next, almost thought he had gone mad.

His eyes were bloodshot, his tone muttery, and his smile, fanatical.

This was how Ge Fu brought the completely revamped Horn Bug before her.

"First, there’s the mini floatation and thrust devices."

With a light touch of his index finger on the Horn Bug’s wings, it cooperatively spread them, revealing the mechanical components hidden underneath.

It was hard to imagine this as the person who, just three days prior, was terrified of Horn Bugs.

"The Horn Bug’s flying capacity is quite limited, it’s more akin to leaping than flying. The structure of their wings makes it difficult for them to fly for long durations. However, with this device installed, they can be empowered to fly long distances across half the city—higher, faster, and with more endurance, allowing them to reach any location in a short time."

And this was only the beginning.

The electric current generators built into the pincers, inspired by the design principles of the Mantis Knife, could paralyze the prey instantly by severing its skin.

The bullet-resistant coating attached to the shell could render them nearly immune to non-armor-piercing rounds.

The camouflage device allowed them to blend perfectly into complex environments.

This entire process immediately brought to Lu Xiang’s mind the technology of prosthetic implantation.

Ge Fu applied prosthetic implantation technology to the Horn Bugs, showing her a mutant creature with a Prosthesis Modification degree that exceeded 30%!

In truth, after implanting so many devices, it had become difficult to define it merely as a biological creature.

"Implementing prosthetic implantation in Horn Bugs is much simpler than in humans. They inherently possess far greater vitality and healing capabilities than humans, and the process doesn’t require the precision needed for military-grade prosthetics. But the effects of these prostheses are no less than those of military-grade ones. Compared to high-degree prosthetic implantation, they only fall short in the inability to install operating systems."

Listening to Ge Fu’s fervent description, Lu Xiang couldn’t help but blush, as she involuntarily remembered a conversation she had one evening with Song Lan.

She had told Song Lan with a serious tone, "Chai Ke’s prosthetic implantation level is 21%, and many of those are black market items you can’t buy in stores."

Yet only a month had passed, and a Horn Bug’s implantation level had exceeded Chai Ke’s.

With continuous technology evolution, if Chai Ke were still alive, he might be amazed to find that his exorbitantly expensive suite of advanced prosthetics might even be inferior to a team of modified Horn Bugs, and the raw materials for modifying these bugs might be much cheaper than daily-use prosthetics.

If measured solely by combat effectiveness, arming a mechanized squad of Horn Bugs would be far more cost-effective than training soldiers.

Only now did she understand the terrifying aspect of Song Lan.

Even a military hardware designer who wasn’t considered top-notch could realize the concept he proposed, but the major premise of all these experiments being incredibly successful so far was that Song Lan could control the Horn Bugs.

In Lu Xiang’s understanding, aside from Song Lan, no one else had ever become friends with mutant creatures.

Seeing that Lu Xiang had yet to respond, Ge Fu thought the other party was still unsatisfied and continued to explain, "In fact, from my observations, the Horn Bugs don’t need prosthetic implantation of an operating system. Their social structure and ideologies differ from humans; they seem to be able to share a brain in some way. As long as a certain number of Horn Bugs are gathered, they can naturally form a simple system that’s more than sufficient for small-scale combat."

This also meant that these Horn Bugs wouldn’t go mad from having too many prosthetic implants.

What Ge Fu was doing today was to make Lu Xiang satisfied with his research.

Because he had fallen in love with this feeling of creation.

He wasn’t designing a specific weapon now, but was creating an army with special significance, an unprecedented type of troop!

Not everyone had the chance to be involved in the work of creating mechanized mutant creatures, and all his brilliant ideas were getting direct and effective feedback from these Horn Bugs.

"Three days is still too short; given enough time, I could research even more things."

"Your work has been completed very well. In accordance with our agreement, you’re hired. Here are the details of your department and your compensation."

Lu Xiang took out a document and handed it to Ge Fu.

The results exceeded her expectations. The mechanical Horn Bugs created by Ge Fu in these three days were ready to be deployed immediately in the fight against crime.

Previously, Horn Bugs were mostly useful for reconnaissance, but after the prosthetic implantation, they could independently subdue a criminal group.

"I have a request."

Ge Fu stared at Lu Xiang with bloodshot eyes, "Like these past few days, the department needs to provide me with the raw materials for my experiments."

"As long as it is within a reasonable budget, your request will be fulfilled... Due to the special nature of the work, you can work from home most of the time."

Having said that, Lu Xiang took out a small glass eco-box from her bag, which contained only a glossy pitch-black Horn Bug, noticeably larger than the other adults.

"This is..."

Ge Fu’s eyes lit up; he had already figured out the identity of this giant Horn Bug.

"This is the King Bug."

Lu Xiang said, "It can have simple interactions with humans. If you need more Horn Bugs for your research, you can communicate directly with it."

"Good, good, good!"

Ge Fu expressed his excitement at the moment by repeating ’good’ three times, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first, I’ve got some more brilliant ideas!"

He picked up the glass eco-box as if it were a treasure.

He didn’t want to stay a moment longer because there were many more ideas waiting for him to realize.

The ambition that had initially driven him into the military hardware design industry was reignited.

Compared to the monotonous military production, this was the big thing he truly wanted to do!
