This research lab is for Xia Heng.
Many of the equipment from Sea King Port was practically all moved to Demon Sword Village.
Additionally, now that the Holy Spirit Society has funds, Gao Xin leveraged their account to collect inheritances from the safe houses of some fallen Dragon Elephants, essentially taking over the funding of several factions.
So, in one go, they allocated five billion for Xia Heng's research and development.
Mainly for the production of True Dragon Level Cyborgs and the development of Pseudo-God prosthetics.
True Dragon Level Cyborgs are extremely rare on the island, with only five in total. Three are at Cyber Manor, and then there's Adam and Xia Heng himself. During Adam's capture of Xia Heng, the two of them worked together on Dragon Level Cyber transformations.
As for Pseudo-God prosthetics, they're even rarer.
If it weren't for Feng Wuji developing space mechas, Gao Xin wouldn't have even known such things existed.
