"Strange, this person is obviously not from our institute, but why does he look familiar?"

The two of them stared at each other with big eyes. After a few seconds, the director of the research institute standing behind him also turned around and saw Xia Qi.

"Your Majesty? I'm here to see Your Majesty!"

While speaking, the director pushed away the young man who had been scared away, quickly stepped forward, bowed to Xia Qi.

And the researchers who were also shocked were also hurriedly following them.

At this moment, the young man who had looked at Xia Qi before, had a small heart beating like a motor.

"Roar, it's over!"

He dared to look at His Majesty and looked up and down with his extremely disrespectful eyes. If he pursued it, he would have to be punished for his great disrespectful crime.

For a moment, the young man was also panicked.

In fact, Xia Qi didn't take such a small matter to heart at all.

While signaling everyone to exempt them from gifts and continue working, he approached the director and learned about the current research progress.

Although this dark matter has the ability to mutate organisms, once the transformation fails, there is only a dead end.

Xia Qi had already confirmed this with his own eyes just now.

For the sake of civilization stability, Xia Qi naturally would not do anything crazy.

However, it would be too wasteful to throw this kind of substance that can transform elves into dark elves.

So, Xia Qi built such a research institute here, specifically used to study dark matter, hoping to find ways to reduce risks and increase the success rate of conversion.

However, it is unlikely that research projects like this can achieve results in a short period of time.

And the fact is indeed the case.

Although there are already many organisms in this institute that have successfully completed the transformation, the researchers are completely unaware of the principle here.

If you want to say that the stronger the physical fitness, the higher the conversion success rate, but in their research institute, a teenage mouse also successfully transformed.

As for the relationship between the duration of transformation symptoms and the success rate, it is completely confusing.

The transformation symptoms of the hyena just now lasted for more than seventeen hours, but it failed in the end.

Among the previous cases of successful conversion, the fastest one took only 32 minutes, while the slowest one took fifteen hours.

They can't find any rules at all.

The director's report was not beyond Xia Qi's expectations. It was originally a difficult project. He felt strange that the other party could find a result so quickly.

Therefore, Xia Qi's attention at this time was mainly focused on another matter.

"After these beasts have completed mutations, their physical fitness should have increased significantly. I want to know how powerful they are now, and whether they can compare with first-level monsters?"

Xia Qi's idea is very simple. There is still a lot of dark matter. If the combat power of those mutant beasts is considerable, he can capture some harmful beasts and convert them in batches.

Then when the war comes, they will be thrown on the battlefield as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's ammunition and force. If they can cause further damage to the enemy, it would be better.

However, the director of the research institute who heard this shook his head directly.

"Report to Your Majesty, after these beasts mutated, their physical fitness has indeed increased significantly, but there is still a big gap compared to first-level monsters. You can still withstand a few pistol shooting, but if you encounter it

Rifles and grenades will hardly constitute any combat power."

The director of the research institute almost completely eliminated Xia Qi's thoughts.

At this stage, on the battlefield, soldiers of the troops of both sides will only be equipped with pistols, rifles and grenades, which is the normal configuration.

If these beasts cannot withstand rifles, it will be of little significance.

At the same time, the director of the research institute continued to speak.

"Also, after these beasts have completed mutation, their animal nature is completely released and they cannot be tamed at all. If you use them on the battlefield, if you neglect, you will hurt your own people."

"If your Majesty wants to see the combat power of this mutant beast with his own eyes, it's OK. There happened to be a battle test today."

Confirming the combat effectiveness of these mutant beasts is also one of the work of the institute.

Everyone quickly moved to another courtyard, which looked a bit like a small arena. Xia Qi and the others stood on it, and could overlook the entire venue.

After all the test and recording personnel were in place, a steel gate slowly rose in the arena, and with a violent roar, a mutated hyena rushed out from inside.

As one of the harmful species, the hyena, which has a very strong body and good combat power, has become the main experimental species in the institute.

There were troops helping them capture them, and there were more than one hyena in the institute.

Unlike the hyena that died in the beast cage due to failure to transform, this mutated hyena is very strong, but in terms of its size, it is almost as strong as a small lion.

His eyes emitted a scarlet and fierce light!

At this time, the mutated hyena who rushed into the arena seemed extremely manic. Before the opponent made his debut, it began to roar continuously, and it seemed that its emotions were extremely unstable.

This also made Xia Qi completely confirm that these mutant beasts are indeed untactical.

The irritable guy didn't wait too long. In the arena, another steel gate quickly rose, and the hyena rushed out from behind the gate.

However, they are ordinary hyenas, and there are three in number.

Since we need to make comparisons, we must use the same species so that the gap can be more obvious.

On the other hand, the director of the research institute also explained to Xia Qi.

"Your Majesty, the mutated hyena has a much higher physical quality than ordinary hyenas. If only one ordinary hyena is put in, then in a very short time, the hyena will be killed.

"

The experimental subjects are not endless. At the same time, the research funding of the institute is relatively limited, and the army cannot be idle and help them catch hyenas all day long, so they have to save some effort.

It is safer to put three in at once and fight the mutant hyena.

Xia Qi, who understood this situation, just nodded gently, with his face relying on his face.

It doesn't mean anything to bite an ordinary hyena one-on-one.

During this period, the mutated hyenas of prey were found in the arena, and they had pounced directly on the three ordinary hyenas rushing in from behind, and they did not stop because of their own tribe.

Faced with the attack of the mutated hyena, the three ordinary hyenas were also aroused by fierceness, and they all roared and attacked the mutated hyena.

Unlike the violent mutant hyena, the performance of the three ordinary hyenas surprised Xia Qi a little.

As cunning as ever, they are directly scattered into three directions.

While one of the hyenas is attacked, the other two hyenas will bite at the mutant hyena frantically.

Unfortunately, the mutated hyena became thicker in flesh. The ordinary hyena bit her several times but did not leave any wounds on the mutated hyena.

It directly fought against three, and the mutated hyena not only did not fall into a disadvantage, but instead pressed against the three ordinary hyenas.

You know, those three ordinary hyenas are also very fierce, especially after being hungry for a while, they are also very fierce.

But even so, he still couldn't beat the mutated hyena.

It can only be said that the mutant hyena has indeed improved greatly.

After the two sides had confronted each other for several rounds, the three ordinary hyenas had already been slim, and the stimulation of the bloody smell made the mutate.

Hyenas become even more violent.

As for the current situation, if this continues, one of the three ordinary hyenas will soon die.

But just as Xia Qi was thinking this way, the steel gate that had been closed opened again, and the institute actually put two ordinary hyenas out.

Five against one, the situation changed significantly.

Faced with the ordinary hyena who gradually took advantage of its numerical advantage, it was difficult for the mutant hyena to do things as recklessly as before, and it began to become a bit stalemate.

As more and more wounds were on both sides, Xia Qi also had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of this mutated hyena.

Facts have proved that after the successful mutation, the improvement of combat effectiveness was indeed great, but it was not at all as he expected.

If it is only this level, then the cost-effectiveness of cultivating mutant beasts on a large scale will be too low.

The combat effectiveness test should have been almost done. Several soldiers waiting on it picked up the rifle filled in their hands, put down all the mutated hyena and ordinary hyena in the arena, and then grabbed it back into the beast cage

go.

After all, the mutant hyena is a relatively rare successful sample. The institute still hopes to take samples from it for research, so it cannot make anything happen to it.

After confirming the research progress of the institute, Xia Qi stopped staying for a long time and left quickly.

On the way back, I also asked Eric Malton about some things.

"Eric, did you dark elves do anything like losing your mind when you completed your transformation?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Eric Multon shook his head.

"After transforming into dark elves, some people's emotions may indeed become more irritable, but they do not lose their minds."

Regarding this answer, Xia Qi nodded thoughtfully, and then did not bother with this issue, and directly shifted the topic to another matter.

At the same time, it was another reason why he came to the Dark Elf Administrative Region specifically.

"Eric, I need to confirm some of the situation with you Dark Elves' Black Sail Battleship."
