    Chapter 200

    Compared to his previous genetic research, developing Gene Toxin No. 2 was much simpler for Su Hao.

    In less than a month, he had already produced a successful result.

    After returning to the laboratory, Yashan asked curiously,

    "Boss Wei, you had us plant those strange saplings in a circle outside the city."

    "What exactly are those trees for?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "They aren't ordinary trees."

    "They're the foundation of a simulated Mutant Zone."

    Yashan looked confused.

    "A Mutant Zone?"

    "It's difficult to explain," Su Hao replied. "You'll understand once you've seen it."

    Yashan scratched his head.

    "So... what exactly am I supposed to see?"

    Su Hao pointed toward several large cages nearby.

    "Bring those small round mice."

    "We're going to the Mutant Zone."


    ---

    Soon, the two arrived at a low hill covered in dense woodland.

    Around the hill grew two neat rows of tall, straight trees, forming a perfect circle.

    Su Hao called this species the Barrier Tree.

    This was merely a prototype.

    In the future, when real Mutant Zones were established, Barrier Trees would be planted in dense forests several kilometers wide, forming an impenetrable living wall.

    Su Hao pointed toward the hill.

    "Take the mice up there."

    "Release all of them."

    Yashan did exactly as instructed.

    After releasing every mouse, he returned.

    Su Hao looked around once before saying,

    "Let's head back."

    Yashan blinked.

    "...That's it?"

    "What else?" Su Hao asked.

    After hesitating for a while, Yashan cautiously asked,

    "So... what exactly did you want me to see?"

    Su Hao burst into laughter.

    "If you really want to understand, stay here for a few months."

    "You'll see it yourself."

    Yashan immediately shook his head.

    "Then... I'd rather not."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Those mice won't be able to leave this hill."

    "The moment any of them attempt to cross the Barrier Trees..."

    "They'll die."

    "Have someone guard this place for the next few days."

    "Record everything that happens."

    "We'll return later."

    Yashan nodded.

    "Understood, Boss Wei."


    ---

    Five days later...

    The two returned.

    The guard immediately stepped forward and saluted.

    Yashan asked,

    "What happened to the mice?"

    The guard respectfully replied,

    "Boss Wei. Boss Yashan."

    "About half of them are still living on the hill."

    "Two days ago, roughly half of the mice attempted to leave."

    "They all died shortly after crossing the Barrier Trees."

    "After that..."

    "Fewer and fewer mice tried to leave."

    "Today..."

    "Not a single one has attempted to cross."


    ---

    The reason this experiment succeeded wasn't because the mice had suddenly become smarter.

    It was simply natural selection.

    The bold mice had all died.

    Only the cautious ones survived.

    Naturally, future generations would inherit that cautious temperament.


    ---

    Yashan looked astonished.

    "They all died?"

    "Were any other animals affected?"

    The guard shook his head.

    "No."

    "Only the marked mice died."

    Yashan stared at the strange trees in disbelief.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "What kind of tree is this?"

    "It's incredible."

    Su Hao answered calmly,

    "This is the Barrier Tree."

    "It is the foundation of every future Mutant Zone."

    Yashan asked,

    "So any mutant beast trying to escape will die?"

    "What about ordinary animals?"

    "Or people?"

    Su Hao nodded confidently.

    "It only targets the creatures we designate."

    "No matter how powerful the mutant beast becomes..."

    "As long as it crosses the barrier..."

    "There is only one outcome."

    "Death."

    Yashan instinctively took several steps away from the Barrier Trees.

    Seeing this, Su Hao laughed.

    "Relax."

    "They're harmless to humans."

    After thinking for a moment, Su Hao continued,

    "From now on..."

    "Mass-produce these Barrier Trees."

    "The more, the better."

    "I'll write a cultivation manual tonight."

    "Then choose an uninhabited region within Yangcheng's territory."

    "It should contain mountains, forests, grasslands, rivers, lakes... as many natural environments as possible."

    "Gradually surround the entire region with Barrier Trees."

    "Our goal is to build a complete enclosed ecosystem."

    Yashan immediately responded,

    "Don't worry, Boss Wei."

    "I'll make it magnificent."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "There's no need to rush."

    "Finish it within five years."


    ---

    Words alone could never convince the leaders of the remaining six supercities.

    They needed proof.

    Only with real results would Su Hao have enough influence to persuade them to establish a new order.

    If someone still refused to believe...

    He could simply take them to visit the Mutant Zone.

    And if they still refused...

    Then replacing them would be much simpler than continuing the discussion.

    Once everything had been explained...

    Su Hao left the remaining work to Yashan.

    He handed over the Barrier Tree cultivation manual before returning to his laboratory.

    Meanwhile...

    He immersed himself once again in researching the optimal genetic sequences for countless different species.


    ---

    Half a year passed.

    Su Hao turned twenty-two.

    During this period...

    He had finally completed the compatibility charts for all eight evolutionary sequences.

    Once the Barrier Trees matured...

    Mutant beasts could immediately be introduced into their respective regions.

    The material foundation for transforming the world had already been established.

    What remained...

    Was mobilizing the strength of the entire Temple Forest Society.

    This was something Su Hao found rather troublesome.

    If it were entirely up to him...

    He would simply eliminate every opposing voice until only supporters remained.

    That approach worked when dealing with a handful of people.

    It was impossible when dealing with an entire civilization.

    The world was simply too vast.

    Even if every opponent were killed...

    Someone new would eventually appear.

    A single saboteur could secretly destroy the Barrier Trees and ruin years of work.

    Therefore...

    If this plan was to succeed...

    The Temple Forest Society had to become the recognized force of justice in the eyes of the people.

    Only then could the project continue steadily for decades.


    ---

    Having completed the initial framework of the Mutant Zones...

    Su Hao temporarily set the project aside.

    He finally returned to something he had neglected for far too long.

    Learning.

    He decided to work simultaneously on two remaining goals.

    To continue exploring every branch of science...

    And to investigate the true nature of Marble Space.

    Over the next several years...

    He intended to quietly immerse himself in theory, experimentation, and discovery.

    "I finally have enough time."

    "My knowledge is still far too shallow."

    "I want more."

    "Much more."


    ---

    Entering Marble Space...

    Su Hao waved his hand.

    The laboratory around him transformed into the familiar appearance of the study from his previous life.

    He pulled out a chair.

    Sat down.

    Reached toward the bookshelf.

    He picked up a volume titled Quantum and Consciousness.

    After casually flipping through a few pages, he placed it back.

    Then he selected another.

    Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena.

    Looking at the book in his hands, he smiled faintly.

    "It's been such a long time."

    "The joy of learning..."

    "Looking back..."

    "The road to reach this point has truly been full of twists and turns."

    He quietly turned the first page.

    "It seems..."

    "If I want to protect the happiness of learning..."

    "I must first obtain even greater strength."

    "Knowledge grants me power."

    "And power protects my time to pursue knowledge."

    "They complement one another."

    "They strengthen one another."

    "...How wonderful."
