Chapter 1930: The Gap Between Ideals and Reality

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Feng quickly dispelled his worries upon hearing Professor Dachto’s introduction.

Although this genetic modification technology was already mature three generations ago, due to the raw materials required for genetic modification, high-precision manpower, and the implementation of matching programs that varied from person to person, the so-called mass production had to pay a very, very high price.

Even in an older and more developed country like the Empire of the Sun with countless powerful families, not many forces could play with it.

“Although this technology can be mass-produced in theory, if it was mass-produced like army soldiers, the resources required would be extreme.”

“First of all, our research institute will have to expand. It will take time to train a large number of high-level talents. Then, we will have to invest a large amount of funds and resources into various raw materials. Then, we will have to implement the nutrition and surgical plans after the genetic modification.”

“Even if the Empire of the Sun Never Sets puts in all of its resources, there’s a high chance that it won’t be able to support such an investment.”

Professor Dachto shook his head and casually mentioned something else. “Before this, the largest order for genetically modified soldiers received by our Layford Life Sciences Research Institute came from America.”

“That should be a newly established special department in America. They needed a group of elites, who had to be the most outstanding. They ordered a hundred C-class genetic warriors, ten B-class genetic warriors, and one A-class genetic warrior in bulk.”

“Can you imagine how much we’ll have to invest in the end?”

“A total of nearly five billion dollars.”

“And this is with the condition that we are reducing our costs to the extreme, and America is helping to provide a lot of raw materials.”

“According to the normal market price, the actual cost of modification for this batch of genetically modified people should be around 6 to 7 billion dollars.”

That would be close to 50 billion Dragon Country yuan, right?

Ye Feng was slightly surprised.

Although he had guessed that the cost of this type of modification would be very high when he heard Professor Dachto say that, he didn’t expect it to be so high.

So 100 C-class, 10 B-class, and 1 A-class genetically modified warriors cost 50 billion yuan, which would mean that the cost of modifying one genetic warrior would be close to 500 million yuan.

Of course, this was only a rough calculation.

In reality, the cost of modifying a B-class or A-class genetic warrior was exponentially higher than that of a C-class genetic warrior.

For example, according to Ye Feng’s estimations, for the order that Professor Dachto mentioned, more than half of the cost was for the 10 B-class and one A-class genetically modified warriors.

The final cost of modifying a C-class genetically modified warrior was likely to be around ten million dollars, which was equivalent to around seventy to eighty million Dragon Country yuan.

However, a new question popped up in his mind. “Professor Dachto, if the cost of genetic modification technology is so high, why do I see that there are quite a number of genetically modified people in the Funeral Organization?”

“Could it be that the Funeral Organization is richer than the relevant departments of America?”

“Well.” Professor Dachto shook his head again. “Only the genetic modification of the Crystal team can reach the level of a C-class genetic warrior in our research institute.”

“As for those ace fighters of the Golden team, they mostly use some leftover techniques, so the cost is very low.”

“If you want to modify one, it’s about the same as the country training a soldier. It’ll cost a few hundred thousand dollars.”

This time, Ye Feng finally understood the value of the genetic modification technology of the Layford Life Sciences Research Institute.

“In my opinion, those techniques, including the C-class genetic warriors, are already considered obsolete. Only the B-class genetically modified warriors are worth watching.” Professor Dachto said. After some biometric identification and authorization verification, he led Ye Feng and the rest of the group to another large exhibition hall.

“Please take a look here. The B-class genetic modification warrior exhibition area also corresponds to the latest generation of C-class technological achievements.”
