The 107th floor was exceptionally empty now, with all facilities removed except for a few load-bearing walls.
Victor nodded in satisfaction, instructing Alice to calculate the space and place 10 fully automated assembly lines according to his directions, occupying one-third of the floor.
Of the remaining two-thirds of the space, one-third would serve as a raw Materials warehouse, and another third would be a finished product warehouse for storing a-virus enhancement fluid.
All three areas would be completely separated to prevent the leakage of the agents.
All of this was done in front of Norman, without any concealment.
How large is one fully automated assembly line?
40 meters long and 10 meters wide, so 10 of them would occupy a massive 4000 square meters.
Victor had been empty-handed before, so where did he hide them?
Regardless of how Victor managed to store them, Norman was deeply shocked.
This technique for storing items alone was beyond Earth's current capabilities!—Or perhaps Norman was simply uninformed; Pym particles in the quantum Domain could also achieve this, though not as conveniently.
After showcasing a touch of mystery, Victor had Alice activate the fully automated assembly lines and thoroughly clean out any residual semi-finished biochemical agents.
Even if these biochemical agents were eventually completed, they would only be failures, specifically arranged by Royce to prevent t-virus infection.
Otherwise.
If such a minor oversight were to cause a "resident evil" outbreak in a certain Plane, Royce would likely not be able to atone for it even with his life.
After the assembly lines were cleaned, the personnel Norman had already prepared brought up 100 portions of a-virus stock solution raw Materials; they were not allowed to approach, and after placing the raw Materials, industrial robots automatically filled them.
During the interim, Victor extracted the data USB drives containing the a-virus enhancement fluid formula and the a-virus stock solution cultivation manual, inputting the a-virus enhancement fluid formula into 9 fully automated assembly lines and the a-virus stock solution cultivation manual into 1.
This data could only be input, not output; if anyone attempted to crack it, all data within would be automatically destroyed.
And then.
After 174 steps, from the transportation of raw Materials to their entry into the assembly line for quality inspection, extraction, distillation, concentration, membrane separation, deep filtration and centrifugal separation, cell cultivation, and bio-enzymatic hydrolysis...
A bottle of a-virus enhancement fluid was successfully produced, taking a total of 2 hours, 14 minutes, and 56 seconds.
During this time.
Victor and Norman both stood by patiently waiting.
When the first finished product emerged, Victor directly used telekinesis to grab a bottle from the industrial robot's hand, and upon receiving it, the Platform information was immediately triggered.

Carefully comparing the product description of the a-virus enhancement fluid in the resident evil product, it was exactly the same; he could even list this bottle of a-virus enhancement fluid for sale.
It was just the product price; he didn't know if he could modify it himself, as he hadn't yet gained permission to change prices.
If he could change it, that would be interesting.
Several thoughts raced through his mind, and Victor turned to look at Norman, who, though standing calmly, still had an undisguised look of anxiety in his eyes.
Finally, it was time to uncover the mystery!
Although Victor had displayed too much technology far exceeding Earth's capabilities over the past two hours, Norman was still a little worried.
He still didn't know the purpose of this agent.
And now he seemed to have lost his "utility," so would Victor kick him aside?
Or would Victor go back on his word and choose to go it alone after establishing a foothold?
Victor no longer kept him in suspense, casually tossing the a-virus enhancement fluid in his hand to Norman, who was clearly unprepared and fumbled to catch the bottle.
"This is called a-virus enhancement fluid, similar to the t-virus you were given, but a weakened version, capable of stimulating human genes, making the physique at least the adult limit, and at most 2 times stronger.
You can test its specific effects yourself; this is already a mature product, so human experimentation is fine.
Oh, by the way, the t-virus in your system conflicts with this, so don't inject it yourself, or genetic conflict will occur."
After hearing the explanation, Norman's breathing became rapid.
He carefully clutched the bottle in his hand, his eyes fixed on the blue liquid within, his expression extremely excited.
Wasn't this the super-soldier serum the military had always coveted?!
Although it didn't possess the terrifying destructive power of the Hulk, it was safe, controllable, mass-producible, and its average cost wasn't high, making it a super-soldier serum that could be widely distributed!
Holding such an ace card, would Norman's future status be comparable to that of an Oscorp Industries chairman from before?
To hell with being a chairman!
With this a-virus enhancement fluid, he would become a hot commodity for the military, the government, and even various countries; who would dare to offend him again?
Despite the burning excitement in his heart, Norman still forcefully controlled his emotions, awaiting Victor's further instructions.
Norman deeply understood.
As long as the a-virus enhancement fluid in his hand was as miraculous as Victor described, then the most valuable thing would not be this agent, but the "Universe merchant" before him.
As long as he clung to this strong leg, this a-virus enhancement fluid was just the beginning; in the future, even more powerful agents, weapons, and even epoch-making products would surely emerge through his hands.
And from what he had learned in recent days, Victor himself didn't have a very strong inclination towards managing a business Empire; he could even be described as a hands-off boss.
Then.
Wouldn't this business Empire, destined to rival nations and step into the Universe, be managed by Norman Osborn?
The composure honed by years of illness allowed Norman to stabilize his mindset immediately after his excitement.
Victor observed this scene and nodded with great satisfaction.
It's fine; as long as the quality is good enough, it doesn't matter who manages future affairs, as he himself has no interest in managing them.
Has he collected enough goods? Or have the Infinity Stones been gathered? Or has Thanos from the family planning office been laid off? Why should he bother to painstakingly manage a business Empire?
He must be out of his mind!
Neither of them spoke their thoughts, but at this moment, they reached a tacit understanding.
Casually collecting 10 bottles of a-virus enhancement fluid, he stored them in the [inventory].
Victor walked out.
Norman quickly followed, asking for instructions, "Are you leaving? How should this a-virus enhancement fluid be handled?"
"Produce it secretly first, and only make contact with the military after I tell you to, understand?" Victor replied without looking back.
Norman naturally agreed without hesitation.
He also needed some time to experiment with this agent; once he had accumulated enough agents and concrete experimental data, he would have sufficient confidence to negotiate.
After seeing Victor off.
Norman plunged into a biological laboratory within the core laboratory, not calling any assistants for help, and worked alone in the biological laboratory all night.
When the morning sun rose the next day.
A patrolling guard passing by the biological laboratory vaguely seemed to hear insane laughter, and he cautiously looked around, but ultimately found nothing suspicious.
He notified the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage, and there were no abnormalities either.
The guard merely assumed he hadn't been resting well lately and was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
