Tardigrades.

This is coolbert:

The super-soldier Chinese style! A Chinese super-soldier able to withstand atomic radiation as present in the case of a nuclear war!

"Chinese team behind extreme animal gene experiment says it may lead to super soldiers who survive nuclear fallout"

From the South China Morning Post ^ | 03/31/2023 | Stephen Chen that tip from Freeper.

" * Modified human embryonic stem cells showed supernatural resistance against radiation, according to paper by Academy of Military Sciences team in Beijing * Shanghai-based scientist says study may open a can of worms, particularly when funding is involved A team of military medical scientists in China says it has inserted a gene from the microscopic water bear into human embryonic stem cells and significantly increased these cells’ resistance to radiation."

Cellular modification using gene insertion into human cells from the water bear. Read the wiki entry for the water bear!

"Tardigrades are among the most resilient animals known, with individual species able to survive extreme conditions – such as exposure to extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation – that would quickly kill most other known forms of life. Tardigrades have survived exposure to outer space."

That goal of creating super-soldier a popular genre' as speculated by science-fiction writers now perhaps technologically realistic?

A worthy [?] goal the creation of a super-soldier through means to include but scarcely limited to: * genetic modification * diet * nature/nurture * drugs * cybernetic enhancement.
