Chapter 450 Herseman's New Idea

Herseman's idea seemed to instantly open the door to a new world for Edel.

"Damn it, Herseman, you are a genius. This idea is so awesome!"

Seeing Edel who was already completely excited, Elliot, who had just stumbled, wanted to be calmer and started pouring cold water on him.

"The ideal is beautiful, but how difficult is it? Have you ever considered it?"

"Only scientific research brainworms that have access to the superficial consciousness of the queen can design the genetic template."

"There are many ongoing projects in various brain worm research institutes. It is not easy to find a suitable brain worm..."

Before Elliot could finish speaking, Herseman laughed and interrupted him.

"This is not a problem. As long as the remuneration is sufficient, I believe they can still squeeze out time from their busy schedules to do some side business."

After glancing at Herseman lightly, Elliot reluctantly accepted the answer and continued to ask new questions.

"Then how can you be sure that after we invest a lot of money, the new units developed will be successful?"

"You don't have the final say on market conditions."

"You have to know the current main combat units of the insect swarm. Each swarm can be said to have been tempered and refined through generations of continuous optimization to arrive at the current optimal solution."

"And as more extraordinary genes continue to be analyzed, the optimization and upgrading of these populations has never stopped."

"Attack, defense, survival, consumption, growth rate... every one of their data has been verified on the battlefield."

"Why do you think that a newly developed unit can compete with it?"

Herseman took another sip of the advanced nutrient solution. He was not stumped by Elliot's question at all. Instead, he showed contempt in his eyes and said in a mocking tone:

"Haha, who told you that what I want to develop is a combat unit? I asked you to read more books, but you didn't listen. No wonder you suffered such a heavy loss this time."

"Do you know what product differentiation is?"

"Do you know what product market positioning is?"

"Do you know what market research and understanding user needs are?"

Seeing Elliot's ugly face, Edel was afraid that the two big guys would start fighting each other again, so he quickly regarded himself as a compliment and interjected to ask Herseman:

"So, you have already thought about what kind of new Zerg unit you want to develop? Tell me in detail!"

"Of course, if I don't do market research in advance, how can I be confident that this is a new business opportunity?"

Having said this, Heseman stopped mocking Elliott and said with a serious face:

"Developing new combat units is simply not something we can handle at this stage, so this direction is directly ruled out."

“If you want to make big money, you have to understand the market!”

"Through my observations during this period, I found that due to the rapid development of the pioneering industry, the spread of a large number of brainworm carpet farms is getting larger and larger."

"The consciousness network coverage of many brainworm farmers has actually been stretched for a long time."

"They are now increasing their area of ​​control by hiring single-eyed insects as signal expansion nodes in the consciousness network."

"But you should also know what the mental power of the monocular insect is."

"Whether it's intensity or quality, the mental power of these guys is far behind."

"Not only is the spiritual radiation range of each single-eyed insect very limited, but the cost of nutrient solution for these guys is also not a small amount."

“This leads to a sharp increase in operating costs for creep farms that are beyond the coverage of the consciousness network.”

He said this in one breath, and looking at Elliot and Edel who had cheered up and listened attentively, a golden light flashed in Heseman's eyes.

"If a new unit can be developed, it can replace the single-eyed worm and serve as a signal expansion node for the brain worm's consciousness network."

"And there are not many other functional requirements for the time being, as long as it can have a cheaper price, lower daily consumption, and greater mental coverage than the hired monocles."

"Do you think that with such a new Zerg unit, will the brainworm farmers be willing to spend money to purchase it?"

After listening to Herseman's words, Edel and Elliot immediately began to calculate the risks and benefits.

"This project can be done!"

"After counting all my belongings and selling the top-quality nutrient solution I obtained last time, I should be able to come up with a considerable amount of cash."

"Count me in!"

Elliot, who had suffered heavy losses recently, only spent more than ten seconds to make a decisive decision and chose to bet all his wealth to join this project.

Edel on the side saw that the two big guys were so optimistic about this project. He instantly suppressed the hesitation in his heart and quickly expressed his stance:

“I’ll be part of it if I do it with you this time!”

Seeing that both insects had chosen to join the group, Herseman smiled and said:

"Okay, you both go back and prepare funds. We will meet at the entrance of the Third Genetic Research Institute tomorrow."

Hesseman maintained a calm expression, and felt greatly relieved as he watched the two insects leave.

"Huh, I finally tricked them into joining the gang."

Although Herseman is not a professional Cerebrate researcher, he still has some understanding of the birth of new Zerg units.

Even if the gene bank now has a large number of extraordinary genes that the master has analyzed over the years, they can call them at will.

But creating a usable new Zerg unit is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Screening the main gene template, selecting the fusion gene, preliminary compatibility test, result feedback, optimization, retesting... biological testing, data collection, improvement, optimization, retesting... until the finalization, the whole process is complex and rigorous.

Especially after entering the actual testing stage, the various resources, equipment, venues, etc. needed for the batches of test subjects and control groups.

After all the calculations, the huge amount of funds is so huge that Herseman is trembling.

If there are any problems in the research and development process, the progress is just stuck, and the funds needed may be multiplied several times.

Relying solely on his savings over the years is not safe at all.

If he runs out of money halfway through, it would be strange if he doesn't get robbed by others if he tries to attract investment. The risk is too great.

Therefore, the best option is to raise enough funds before starting work, recruit others to join, and share the risks.
