Chapter 1502: Chapter 626: Methods to Control Mutated Plants_2

Usually, those unmanned vehicles, which are the mutated plants, would follow the programs set by the Awakeners. In case of any accidents, the overseers could take over at any time. Meanwhile, the Awakeners are constantly optimizing their algorithms, maintaining the overseers, and trying to prevent bugs…

“This is how we control the mutated plants…”

After a brief introduction by Han Youlin, he sighed.

“Although it might sound good, there are significant flaws in this method. The biggest drawback is the limited range,”

“The control over the mutated plants is confined only to the area of the Red Leaf Base. It’s not that we don’t want to expand the range; we use a specific type of mutated plant to transmit brainwave signals. However, this type of plant can only be found underground at the Red Maple Base and cannot be found outside. Moreover, it cannot be transplanted; it dies once transplanted. Thus, currently, this control ability can only be used within the Red Maple Base…”

“Another downside is that it’s very draining on people! Having one person control hundreds of mutated plants, even though it is done according to a preset program, is too much for most people to handle, and stronger ability users are needed. But even so, working like this for a long time can cause serious aftereffects for the ability users, ranging from mental exhaustion and weakness to turning into an imbecile or even brain death! This is also why our military occasionally has a few less personnel—they went to rotate…”

“Of course, all this is voluntary, and we give them substantial rewards. Should there be any accidents, we would take care of their families. The base won’t let them down. But currently, there’s no way to resolve the issue with the aftereffects, so we stipulate that each person can only work continuously for 3 days, then they must rest for a week to recover…”

“Originally, we wanted to control a large number of mutated plants to form an army to clear out monsters and zombies. However, we didn’t expect to only be able to operate in this small area, and also could not control strong mutated plants unless the awakeners personally control the mutated plants of the same level. But their numbers are limited and there are many restrictions, so they cannot be deployed on a large scale…”
