A month later...
A buzzing sound filled the air as a projection suddenly materialized in Isaac's office. It was the Red Queen.
Isaac inquired, "What's the matter?"
The Red Queen responded urgently, "Dr. Isaac, Dr. Varion, please come to the lab. It's urgent."
Isaac raised an eyebrow, concerned, "Emergency? What's wrong? Is there an issue with his research?"
The Red Queen clarified, "No, his experiment was a success."
Isaac immediately stood up. He had been closely monitoring Varion's recent experiments. A potion that could enable an ordinary person to transcend the limits of the human body at will would be a groundbreaking discovery and a crucial component of their upcoming plan. It was also the defining factor that would distinguish the "old" humans from the "new."
He understood that the introduction of this potion would be a pivotal moment in human history.
Navigating through the various levels, it was evident that Varion and his research on human evolution medicine held immense importance to Isaac.
Upon arrival at the lab, Varion presented a tube of pale green reagent to Isaac, who examined it with admiration.
Isaac remarked, "This is your creation. It's truly remarkable."
Varion proudly named it, "I call it the Human Strengthening Agent R-1 type. It can provide an ordinary person with the physical prowess of an extreme human. Short-distance running speed can reach 10 m/s, strength can reach around 300 kg, and endurance can double or even triple, depending on individual qualities. Additionally, it enhances concentration, memory, and other cognitive abilities."
Isaac eagerly inquired, "Are there any side effects? And can it extend human lifespan?"
These were the two critical questions on his mind, with the latter being of paramount importance.
Varion explained, "As for side effects, the main drawback is an increased energy demand. So far, no other side effects have been observed. Regarding extending human lifespan, it's possible. In about 5 years, it can act on human telomere DNA, prolonging the state of cell division and increasing the survival time of cells, ultimately leading to extended lifespans."
Isaac couldn't contain his excitement and exclaimed, "Dr. Varion, you are a true genius. Those companies that rejected you in the past were clearly mistaken. No, I will make sure you join the company's management. Your dedication to the company deserves recognition."
Varion chuckled, "Doctor, that won't be a problem. The R-1 type potion has another significant advantage – it can be stacked. However, it can only be stacked three times before reaching the limit. The second time grants only the last 130%, and the third time, just 20% of the second time. Beyond that, it becomes unbearable."
Isaac was intrigued and asked, "Are there any experimental records?"
Isaac was nearly overwhelmed as he reviewed the experimental records in his hands. At the outset, he had considered Varion to be a lunatic, but now it was clear that his initial assessment was gravely mistaken. This was nothing short of terrifying.
The emergence of this product marked a monumental contribution to human civilization.
"Sigh... Once this goes public, it will become the highest-level classified item. Access will be restricted to only those with the highest authority."
"Yes," his assistant replied.
In the evening, Umbrella Corporation executives received an unexpected notice – Dr. Isaac was convening a general meeting of shareholders. The summons mandated the presence of all upper management, which even took Aliza, the major shareholder, by surprise. Currently, the Umbrella Corporation was under Dr. Isaac's control.
Speculations abounded as to what could necessitate such an assembly. The last time this happened was when Isaac had proposed the launch of a cleaning plan.
As the time for the meeting approached, a massive projection appeared in offices worldwide, leaving everyone connected to the video astonished. Seated next to Dr. Isaac was a young man.
"To gather you all here today, I believe many of you may have your suspicions. The last time we met, it was to discuss the cleaning plan. This time, I assure you won't be disappointed. I am proposing that Dr. Varion be integrated into the company's management structure and be granted an equity stake. These arrangements have already been made."
Silence reigned as no one dared to speak or voice any objections.
Isaac observed the expressions in the room. "I understand that some of you may not be pleased, but trust me, even Ms. Alyssa will support my proposal."
Alyssa, although appearing elderly, was not actually that old. However, she suffered from ailments like muscle atrophy, more commonly known as ALS.
Isaac's words piqued her interest. Who was this person that had earned such praise from the usually eccentric Isaac?
"Red Queen."
With a swish, a red rear projection materialized.
"Dr. Varion joined the company two months ago. Within a month, he developed a human enhancement agent known as the R-1 Type Agent. It has the capability to enable ordinary individuals to surpass the limits of human potential and attain incredible strength. The specific data is..."
"And it also extends human lifespan."
"What?"
"How did he accomplish that?"
Alyssa cleared her throat, breaking the silence that had fallen over the room. "What are the potential side effects?"
All eyes were on Varion, as this was the crucial concern. A product of such remarkable power couldn't possibly come without side effects. It was man-made, and perfection was unattainable.
"None of the test subjects exhibited any adverse side effects."
At this moment, it seemed as if everyone saw a prize before them, and none could conceal the hunger in their eyes, not even Eliza.
Isaac, like a cunning fox, let a cold smile play at the corner of his lips. In his mind, Varion was now on his side.
