Chapter 1930 [1930] The gap between ideal and reality
After listening to Professor Dacto's introduction, Ye Feng quickly dispelled that slight worry.
It turns out that although this genetic modification technology is a mature technology three generations ago, due to the problems of raw materials, high-end manpower, and the implementation of supporting plans that vary from person to person required for genetic modification, the so-called mass production requires a very high cost.
Even in an old and developed country like the British Empire, where there are numerous families with deep roots, there are few forces that can handle it.
"Although this technology can be mass-produced in theory, if we really want to mass-produce it like soldiers in the army, the resources required will be absolutely astronomical."
"First of all, our research institute must be expanded. It will take time to train a large number of high-level talents. Then, a huge amount of funds and resources must be invested in various raw materials. Finally, the supporting nutrition and postoperative plans after genetic modification will be implemented."
"Even if the British Empire put all its national strength into it, it probably wouldn't be able to sustain such an investment."
At this point, Professor Dacto shook his head and casually mentioned something, "Before this, the largest order for genetically modified warriors that our Life Science Institute had ever received came from the United States."
"That should be a newly established special department of the United States. They need a group of elite soldiers, and the best elite soldiers. They have customized a hundred C-level gene warriors, 10 B-level gene warriors, and one A-level gene warrior."
“Can you imagine how much it would cost us in the end?”
"Nearly 5 billion magnesium knives."
"This is even after we have compressed costs to the utmost, and the United States has helped to provide a lot of raw materials."
"If we go by normal market prices, the actual cost of transformation for this batch of genetically modified people should be around 60-70 billion magnesium knives."
Converted into Dragon Country currency, wouldn't that be nearly 50 billion?
Ye Feng was a little surprised.
Although he had guessed that the cost of modifying this thing would be very high when he heard Professor Darko say this before, he really didn't expect it to be this high.
100 C-class genetically modified warriors, 10 B-class genetically modified warriors, and 1 A-class genetically modified warrior cost 5 billion, so the average cost of modifying one genetically modified warrior is close to million. Of course, this is just a rough calculation.
In fact, the transformation cost of B-class and A-class genetic warriors is definitely exponentially higher than that of C-class genetically modified warriors.
For example, the order that Professor Dakto mentioned, according to Ye Feng's estimation, more than half of the cost was spent on 10 B-class genetically modified warriors and 1 A-class genetically modified warrior.
The final transformation cost of a C-class genetically modified warrior is likely to be around 10 million magnesium knives, equivalent to around 70 to 80 million Dragon Country currency.
However, this also brought up a new question for him, "Professor Dakto, the cost of genetic modification technology is so high, why do I see that the Undertaker organization outside has a lot of genetic modifiers in their team?"
"Is the Undertaker organization richer than the relevant departments in the United States?"
"Them." Professor Dakto shook his head again. "Only the genetically modified members of the Crystal Team can reach the level of the C-class genetic warriors of our institute."
"As for the ace fighters of the golden team, they mostly use some scrap technology, and the cost is very low."
"To transform one is probably about the same as training one soldier for a country, and it would cost a few hundred thousand magnesium knives."
Now Ye Feng has a thorough understanding of the value of the genetic modification technology of the Life Sciences Institute.
"In my opinion, those technologies, including the C-class genetic warriors, are almost obsolete. The next B-class genetically modified warriors are worth looking at." Professor Dakto said, and after going through some biometric identification and authority verification and passing through a very high-tech passage, he brought Ye Feng and his party to another large exhibition hall.
"Please look here, the B-class genetically modified warrior exhibition area, which corresponds to a new generation of technological achievements compared to the C-class."
