Chapter 1264.

In the base conference room, a video was playing on a huge holographic screen.

It was clearly the scene of Wang Chen annihilating the star pirates in one fell swoop in the control room of the Chang Tai merchant ship.

Just by raising his hand, those star pirates holding the crew hostage all fell to the ground with their eyes glazed over, completely incapable of resisting.

The sight of this scene just looked very bizarre.

It was as if it was magic!

When the video playback was over, Professor Chen from the Holy Light Research Institute waved his hand to close the holographic screen and inquired to the pondering Wang Dust, “Captain Wang Dust, did you use your own supernatural ability in this battle?”

Without thinking, Wang Dust replied, “Yes.”

He had no intention of hiding his psychic abilities at all when he had surrendered his mecha battle data.

Moreover, Wang Dust himself was considered a registered psychic, and when he was in the First Military Academy, he even joined the Abnormal Seeing Society, which was full of psychics.

There were bound to be detailed records in his personal file, so he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.

Most importantly, Wang Chen had absolutely no intention of concealing the powerful superpowers he possessed – it was one of his capitals for advancement.

It was only that Wang Chen did not expect that his display of superpowers would actually attract the attention of the Holy Light Research Institute!

The five-member team led by Professor Chen from the Holy Light Research Institute had come specifically for him.

There was no doubt that this ability had attracted the interest of the Empire’s top brass.

Professor Chen continued to ask with interest, “According to the file, you call your ability psychic energy?”

“Yes.”

Wang Chen described his psychic ability in detail.

Of course, he definitely had to carry out concealment, and it was impossible to completely expose his bottom line to others.

Even though Wang Dust had cut the power and effect of psychic energy to a tenth of its level and elaborated on it, and skipped the most crucial core part, a number of researchers, including Prof. Chen, still exuded a look of shock and excitement.

“Your superpowers are very strong, and also very valuable for research!”

Professor Chen couldn’t help but push up his glasses after hearing this and said excitedly, “Captain Wang Chen, we are very interested in this ability of yours, can you cooperate with us in our research?”

Superpowers are not something rare, since there are historical records, naturally awakened superpowers have appeared from time to time, some of them are born with divine power, some can generate their own flames, some can dive like a fish, and some can also control things through space ……

Especially after the birth of genetic enhancement technology, the passive awakening of superpowers is even more.

Just the vast majority of superpowers are also fresh and interesting to look at, put on the stage as a performance program is good, in fact, the role is very limited, especially in the military field.

Because there are high-tech products can replace and crush these super powers.

But the empire has never given up on the research of superpowers, and will be categorized as human genetics research category, and even came up with a super soldier program.

Only few results were achieved.

What Professor Chen was engaged in at the Sacred Light Research Institute was precisely human genetics-related projects, and this time he had taken the initiative to lead a team to come and conduct research on this very special case of Wang Chen.

However, Wang Chen was an imperial officer and had just made a great achievement, so even the Sacred Light Research Institute couldn’t take it upon themselves to treat him as a guinea pig for research, so the professor’s attitude was still quite good.

He also offered conditions.

If Wang Chen was willing to cooperate, then he could undergo the highest-specification third genetic enhancement for free, and he could also receive a batch of high-grade biological products from the Holy Light Research Institute as a benefit.

Such a condition was considered very sincere, as the highest specification third genetic enhancement alone would cost tens of millions of star dollars!

Wang Chen pondered for a moment and said, “I can cooperate with your research, but there needs to be a time limit, such as three months?”

The Sacred Light Research Institute was the highest and most mysterious scientific research organization in the empire, putting aside the direct benefits, having a good relationship with them would help Wang Chen gain a deeper understanding of the Star Ocean World.

So he was willing.

But there had to be a time limit, otherwise staying in the lab for three years and five years would be completely against Wang Chen’s original intention.

“Three months is too short.”

Professor Chen scratched his head, “Half a year is a must, no less.”

“Half a year is also fine.”

Wang Dust thought about it and replied, “But the biological products awarded to me, I want to pick them myself.”

Professor Chen immediately extended his hand to him, “Deal!”

The two shook hands, both feeling very satisfied.

Once the cooperation was reached, Professor Chen formed an advanced laboratory in the TK043 space fortress.

This was something Wang Chen did not expect.

He thought he would have to go to the Holy Light Research Institute’s headquarters, but he didn’t expect the other party to directly bring over a large number of instruments and equipment, and it only took three days to build a laboratory dedicated to superpower research.

Its high efficiency allowed Wang Chen to glimpse a few moments of the Sacred Light Empire’s powerful heritage, as well as its strength in science and technology!

In the following days, promoted to Captain, Wang Chuan was temporarily detached from the Seventh Rapid Reaction Fleet, and was formally seconded to the X6 Laboratory of the Sacred Light Research Institute, to cooperate with the research work on superpowers.

The X6 Laboratory was the lab that was specially set up for him.

Don’t look at this lab as a temporary set up, its specification was so high that there was nothing that could be compared to it in the TK043 space fortress, and the various instruments and equipment amounted to hundreds of types.

Taking out just any one of them, they were all high-end goods worth several hundred or even tens of millions of star dollars.

In the X6 laboratory, the research team headed by Professor Chen had conducted a comprehensive and detailed analysis and research on Wang Chuan’s psychic energy, exploring the principles of its generation and effects.

Wang Dust was considered to be a guinea pig.

He was highly cooperative throughout the entire process, only suppressing his spiritual energy to the level of one-tenth.

In fact through such research, with the help of the Empire’s highest technology, Wang Chuan also gained a deeper understanding of his spiritual energy, and even uncovered new uses for it!

Together with the repeated application and stimulation that he persistently performed every day, his spiritual energy had maintained a high rate of growth, and it only took five months to break through the level of the Sixth Ring.

This was definitely considered an unexpected blessing!

And the X6 Laboratory research team led by Professor Chen had also produced quite a few results.

In short, the two sides got along quite happily with each other, so in the sixth month, when Wang Chen proposed to undergo a third genetic enhancement, Professor Chen not only readily agreed, but also personally performed the surgery for him.

This professor of the Holy Light Research Institute was himself an expert in this field.

The medicines he used to perform the strengthening surgery for Wang Chen were all transferred from the headquarters of the Institute!

They belonged to the top of the line products.
