It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"All have."

"Report the inspection results!"

"Report! The exoskeleton armor is in good condition!"

"The working status of the deep-sea cabin is normal!"

"..."

In the communication channel, a sentence of reports sounded in his ears.

Hong Fan looked at the holographic projection with a serious expression, and after confirming again and again that there were no mistakes, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The originally stern face also relaxed.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and complained to Xia Wanyi who was beside him: "I don't know when Team Bai will recover."

"I don't want to do this captain's work for a day."

Chapter 396 Hormones and Gene Editing

Behind him, Andrew laughed and interjected.

"Team Hong."

"I remember you didn't say that when the White team was here."

"Yes." Bruno also joked together, "Captain Hong, I still like your rebellious appearance back then."

The teasing of the two made Hong Fan look bitter.

"I……"

"I didn't expect this thing to be so troublesome!"

The next moment, Fang Xu's voice came from the communication device.

"...Attention all units."

"The fleet has arrived at the preset landing point, and the first landing mission is about to begin."

"Everyone, be safe!"

"May the glory of mankind last forever!"

Hong Fan looked serious, and quickly issued an order.

"Attention all units!"

"Enter the deep-sea cabin immediately! Repeat, enter the deep-sea cabin immediately!"

After the order was issued, he took the lead in stepping into the added deep-sea cabin behind him.

Originally, Xuannv-[-], which was mainly used for intraplanetary navigation, did not have a deep-sea cabin inside.

However, due to the high gravity of Dawn Star, and considering that the overload during the voyage may exceed the tolerance limit of some crew members, Lu Yongchang still ordered a batch of Xuannv II to be modified.

In the deep-sea cabin, the level of the pale yellow deep-sea liquid rose slowly.

In the communication channel, Bruno's voice came: "Team Hong, why is Academician Fang commanding the landing operation this time?"

"Normally, isn't Professor Lu commanding the first landing operation?"

Hong Fan replied indifferently: "Generally, there are only two possibilities in this situation."

"First, Professor Lu is temporarily busy."

"Secondly, Fang Xu has made something wrong again."

Bruno: "..."

The pale yellow deep-sea liquid overflowed his neck, stopping him from continuing to ask.

The holographic projection lit up in front of Hong Fan's eyes.

[It has been detected that all personnel have entered the deep-sea cabin, do you want to start the landing operation? 】

Without the slightest hesitation, Hong Fan gave the order through the brainwave reading device.

A slight tremor came from the soles of his feet.

Under the pull of the hook cable, Xuannv No. [-] slowly left the queue and headed for the port not far away.

……

Biological shipboard laboratory.

Lu Yongchang picked up the aerospace food bag on the side, and took a deep breath of the pure water inside.

Just now, he and Mao Zhengzhi screened these gene fragments again.

After excluding four gene fragments again, only the last five gene fragments were left before the two of them.

"Next, it's the old job."

Mao Zhengzhi said helplessly.

The same as when developing biological enzymes, in order to adapt the genes of the earth organisms, they need to compile the gene fragments of the Proxima Centauri organisms into the genes of the earth organisms.

Then insert the compiled gene fragment into the universal Escherichia coli.

According to the sporadic research results left by the Proxima civilization, these Magna can secrete several unique hormones.

What these hormones do is simple.

Increase muscle strength everywhere in the body, increase blood vessel wall thickness, increase bone hardness...

The main contributors to these huge Magna being able to withstand the gravity of Proxima Centauri are these magical hormones.

"still have a question."

While assigning the work to the researchers in the laboratory, Mao Zhengzhi said, "The reticular membrane that protects the internal organs."

"This stuff is far more risky."

"And it's not a simple hormone that can solve it."

Lu Yongchang frowned, and nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, as Mao Zhengzhi said.

In order to grow this special mesh meridian on the surface of human internal organs, it is necessary to genetically edit the human body.

"Let's start with the little white mouse first."

Lu Yongchang didn't have any good solutions, so he could only spread his hands and said, "Extract this part of Magna's gene, and after transformation, use the virus to gene-edit the mice."

"Follow-up, according to the symptoms, these genes will be fine-tuned appropriately to make them as suitable as possible for the bodies of creatures on earth."

Presumably, this time it was another "reign of terror" of mice.

……

After determining the direction of the next experiment.

The researchers in the entire biological laboratory were divided into two distinct groups.

One of them is composed of some researchers with low scientific research level.

They are mainly responsible for the gene compilation of Escherichia coli, as well as the production and testing of hormones.

The other group consisted of senior researchers headed by Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi.

What they have to do is to genetically edit the mice one by one.

The purpose of the experiment is naturally to transplant Magna's visceral reticular meridian traits into humans!

……

One after another Xuannv [-] flew across the blue-purple sky, and the high-temperature plasma ejected from the Hall propulsion unit formed distinct flight paths in the air.

[Successfully entered the atmosphere. 】

[The lock on the deep-sea cabin has been released. 】

【Cleaning up deep sea fluid...】

[Reminder: Please keep your exoskeleton armor and medical cabin safe. 】

The text in the holographic projection gradually disappeared, and the closed door of the deep-sea cabin opened quietly.

Hong Fan struggled to climb out of the deep sea cabin.

He struggled to the side of the exoskeleton armor.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He turned his back, stepped on the "shoes" of the exoskeleton armor, and then leaned his heavy body against the exoskeleton armor behind.

almost the same time.

The back armor and head and neck protector quickly moved towards Hong Fan's body.

After fully fitting, the limb support device and the spine armor on the carapace also moved quickly.

In just a few seconds, the whole set of semi-surrounding armor was successfully put on Hong Fan's body.

"call……"

As the working indicator light came on, and the slight sound of motors and mechanical devices running, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The original heaviness in various parts of the body completely dissipated at this moment.

However, under careful feeling, there is still a slight sense of swelling in the internal organs.

"Crack!"

"Crack! Kick!"

The sound of the deep-sea cabin door opening came from beside him.

Looking at the teammates with different faces in the deep-sea cabin, Hong Fan chuckled, his consciousness moved slightly, and he controlled the exoskeleton armor to walk aside.

With the assistance provided by the exoskeleton armor, he easily lifted several sets of exoskeleton armor to the crowd, and gestured to them with his eyes.

Dozens of seconds later.

"……thanks."

Xia Wanyi, who had put on the exoskeleton armor, also let out a long sigh of relief, and thanked Hong Fan softly.

"You're welcome." Hong Fan walked to his seat with heavy but brisk steps.

Heavy, naturally because every footstep made a dull sound on the deck of Xuannv No. [-].

Lightness is Hong Fan's movement, which looks extremely relaxed and comfortable.

"There are still 10 minutes to the destination." Hong Fan said in a deep voice, "Get ready."

"We're almost landing!"

Chapter 397 Landing on Dawn Star

10 minute later.

A line of Chinese characters appeared on the holographic projection on the Xuannv No. [-] console.

【Arriving at the scheduled landing point soon. 】

[Landing procedure starting...]

There was a slight tremor from the deck at the bottom of the feet, and the height of the starship began to decrease continuously.

The landing site was chosen to be the location of the first probe - that is, the vast expanse of water lined with reefs.

The reason is also very simple.

It has been the law of human existence since ancient times to build cities near waters when there is a choice.

Under the control of the on-board computer, the Xuannv No. [-] ships lined up neatly and headed towards the land next to the water area one by one.

The land is not very flat, perhaps due to the impact of water erosion, it is full of uneven, rounded rocks everywhere.

But this did not affect the landing of Xuannv No. [-] in the slightest.

Several high-power laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons were added to the bottom of the temporarily modified Xuannv No. [-].

"Tsk tsk tsk..."
