“Karl, we’re here on business.”
"Serious business? This is serious business too. This is the strongest hybrid bloodline ever discovered by our Secret Party, an S+ level. I really want to study it carefully."
Karl, who is also the deputy director of the Institute of Alchemy and Scientific Engineering Applications, has the final say in the equipment department when the director, Akadura, is absent.
Upon hearing this, Cao Han raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking that the saying that everyone in the Equipment Department was crazy was indeed true.
What Cao Han didn't know was that... Deputy Director Karl had been praised by Principal Angers as the person with the strongest sense of logic in the Equipment Department, this mental hospital.
He's already the most normal person out of the abnormal!
"Ahem, Deputy Minister Karl, let's go inside and talk about it."
"Yeah."
Karl stepped aside and led the two into the equipment department.
Before he had even taken a few steps, news of the strongest bloodline student in history arriving at the Equipment Department spread like wildfire, and more and more people dressed in strange ways emerged, sizing up Cao Han as if he were a rare animal in a zoo.
"This is what a newborn with an S+ bloodline?"
"You can't tell from his physique at all. If someone with this kind of physique wants to unleash tremendous power, his body fat percentage would have to be incredibly low."
"It's a pity, I thought it would be the Schwarzenegger type."
"Could there be a mistake? This tiny guy with such small arms and legs can single-handedly kill a second-generation species?"
"..."
Various whispers arose among the researchers from the Equipment Department.
They just didn't know that such whispers were no different from normal conversation in front of Cao Han's superhuman hearing.
It's quite embarrassing to be "chirped" in front of someone like that.
"Minister Karl, would it be convenient for you to find a quiet, open space?"
"Yes, come with me."
The most essential, important, and core parts of the entire Institute of Alchemy and Scientific Engineering are located underground, while the parts above ground serve more as a "showcase."
Led by Karl, they arrived at a spacious open space of nearly 100 square meters, where various "targets" were randomly placed. It looked like a place where the equipment department usually tested the power of weapons.
See this situation.
Not wanting to fall into a mental illness, Cao Han voluntarily placed the huge box on the ground and opened it, revealing the enormous "Spear of Longinus" inside to Schneider and Karl.
"This is said to be the Spear of Longinus, the mythical spear that slays the gods, but I have a better idea now..."
Chapter 181 A Dramatic Modification of the Spear of Longinus
"This is said to be the Spear of Longinus, the mythical spear that slays the gods, but I have a better idea now..."
"and many more!"
Karl, utterly astonished, reached out to interrupt Cao Han, who was about to continue, then pointed with a delicate, orchid-like finger at the massive spear over ten meters long on the ground and questioned:
"You're saying this thing is the Spear of Longinus from mythology? Holy shit! Don't tell me Jesus was pierced by this thing?"
How enormous must Jesus' actual body have been?
If such words were to get out, they would likely shatter the faith of countless believers.
The so-called Jesus was nothing more than a pure-blooded dragon who transformed into human form to deliberately fool the world and seize faith and support; he had absolutely nothing to do with any saint.
Upon learning the "truth," Karl squatted down and reached out his hands, carefully stroking the Spear of Longinus as if it were a priceless treasure, meticulously exploring the unique patterns on the spear.
Perhaps these patterns are the alchemical matrix patterns that give this gun its mysterious and unpredictable power.
Seeing Karl completely absorbed, Cao Han still had to interrupt him: "Director Karl, we have important matters to discuss with you at the Equipment Department."
"What's the matter?"
You should also be aware that the academy is preparing a mission to defeat the first Dragon King, right?
"Of course, didn't Minister Akadullah take his elite troops to refit the nuclear-powered icebreaker?"
"I obtained this Spear of Longinus from a second-generation species of the ocean and water lineage. It is said that this spear 'pinned' the second-generation species in place for at least several hundred years. Is it reasonable to suspect that this spear has a sealing effect?"
These words caused both Schneider and Carl, who were present, to fall into deep thought.
Cao Han's sudden statement could not have been without reason, so their intentions are something they should ponder deeply.
"and then?"
"Then I came here to ask the Equipment Department if there is any way to slightly modify this Spear of Longinus, to make it similar to the whale-hunting spear used by the Vikings, so that even if it cannot penetrate the powerful body of the first species, it can still play a certain role in limiting its strength."
"A whale-hunting gun!?"
Karl's pupils contracted slightly, his hand stroking the gun froze, and a frantic brainstorming session began in his mind, considering the possibility of Cao Han's idea.
"It seems...it appears...maybe..."
As he continued to ponder, his hands gestured and moved in mid-air, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. "Theoretically, it's feasible. The problem is that using such a large gun inevitably involves the most crucial issue: power!"
“How about loading it onto the icebreaker?” Schneider suddenly asked.
"It's certainly not a problem to install it on an icebreaker and use nuclear power, but that brings another problem."
Karl stood up, adjusted his glasses, and said seriously, "According to the planned mission, the icebreaker can only take you a limited distance to the Greenland Sea. From now on, you'll need to travel the Arctic using the most primitive methods, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you have a way to lure the first-generation species close to the nuclear-powered icebreaker, and you also need to have a method to restrain them for a certain period of time, or..."
"Oh dear, I have such a bad temper! Can't you just say everything at once, Deputy Director Karl!"
Cao Han realized that the pauses in his speech were probably just a habit of the other person, not a deliberate attempt to keep him in suspense.
Even so, it's still unbearable.
If he had encountered someone with a short temper, he probably would have already been beaten up.
"Or perhaps one of you can use this spear directly."
This is what you call doing something you don't have!
Cao Han and Schneider both ignored the last sentence: Could such a size and shape be something that a normal hybrid like them could use?
Even Cao Han...
Being able to pick it up and using it are two completely different things!
As for using it when switching to the main dragon form, there is even less need for that. Nothing is more suitable as a weapon than the dragon's fangs and claws!
It's important to understand that this mission to defeat the first Leviathan is being carried out in full view of everyone. If he didn't want to become a "public enemy" at this time, he wouldn't easily transform into his dragon form.
In human form, "weapons" become crucial to inflicting fatal damage on a Leviathan's exceptionally large size.
“If we need to use a different operational plan, we will draft it again. Everyone has their own expertise. Deputy Director Karl, you just need to give us an answer.”
Schneider Electric, which pursues ultimate efficiency, didn't have the time to waste with the other party and succinctly expressed its attitude.
As the date for the mission to subdue the first species drew near, the entire execution department was operating at full speed every minute of every day.
A massive amount of intelligence converges at the operations command center.
As the head of the executive department, Schneider wouldn't say he was as busy as some people, but he was certainly not one to waste much time.
"If Secretary Schneider is referring to the option of modifying it into a harpoon gun and mounting it on an icebreaker... technically, there's no problem!"
"understood."
Schneider nodded in response, "Minister Akadullah happens to be over there. I will inform him about this. Cao Han, when you and Fingel leave tomorrow, take this gun with you as well."
His next words were clearly directed at Cao Han, indicating that once he was no longer worried about Akadula refusing, he would make the decision directly.
"Since you're already here, let me show you the 'equipment' that the Equipment Department made specifically for you!" Karl said enthusiastically.
Akadula led the core team to modify the nuclear-powered icebreaker, while the remaining deputy director, Karl, and the rest of the personnel in the equipment department were also working overtime to produce equipment for the two people carrying out the mission according to the top-level plan.
Ta-da!
Karl couldn't possibly be so childish as to do his own voice acting; this was the background music that Cao Han imagined in his mind.
Actually.
The two followed Karl to a futuristic research lab, where two bodysuits made of one piece of forging were hanging.
"These are the latest diving suits custom-made by the Equipment Department for the two specialists who are carrying out the mission. In fact, the materials used are from the second-generation species that you, Cao Han, killed."
Look at this charming and classic color scheme, what do you think?
not so good!
Cao Han's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he couldn't agree with the color scheme at all.
This is so damn familiar!
Isn't the color scheme of the diving suit I wore when I went to Japan to dive to a depth of more than 8,000 meters exactly the same?
He now strongly suspects that the diving suit he wore back then was also made by this Deputy Director Karl, otherwise, how could there be two people in this world with the exact same color scheme?
"Considering the possibility of fighting in the deep sea, isn't this color scheme a bit inappropriate?"
Cao Han had tried his best to use the most tactful language.
"Something's wrong? What's wrong with it?"
"I think black is better; it's easier to conceal one's figure!"
"All right......"
Karl was somewhat reluctant to agree, but he still needed to fully consider Cao Han's wishes as a user.
"and many more!"
Cao Han suddenly seemed to remember something, reached out and stopped Karl, who was about to act without thinking. A hint of hesitation appeared on his face, but then he made up his mind and said:
"This combat suit...it won't explode, will it?"
