Without top-of-the-line equipment and powerful computers for high-fidelity simulation, with the current capabilities of human beings, it is far from the level of making viruses point to where they can be hit, let alone being able to create a new virus from the code.

But when the Resistance and Zuo Tzu converge, science meets magic, and the effect of nuclear fusion can be produced.

This kind of research has a proper name, called functional acquisition, and its objects are mostly dangerous viruses such as influenza, SARS, and MERS, which are artificially modified to simulate mutations to see how they may become stronger.

The primary purpose of these studies is not to create more powerful viruses, but to better understand viruses, understand and predict what mutations they may produce and how they will infect humans, and provide a basis for vaccine and drug development.

Because of the huge ethical controversy surrounding this research, in order to monopolize biocomputing, at the suggestion of Company X, all countries banned private research, but in fact, there was no way to stop organizations of various purposes from secretly conducting taboo experiments.

Most viruses that have undergone artificial modification have a certain degree of identification, such as the appearance of genes that should not appear, the changes of fragments that should not be changed, or other phenomena that violate the laws of natural evolution.

In addition, the natural evolution of a virus is done in its interaction with the host. In this process, the immune system of the host – a human or other animal – leaves some traces of the virus, such as O-glycosylation. Such traces have also been found on the coronavirus.

Similarly, the sudden appearance or sudden strengthening of a new virus cannot be used as a basis for it not to form naturally.

Many viruses have suddenly appeared on the stage of human history, such as Ebola, such as HIV and AIDS, such as Marburg virus, and the top laboratories have come up with the reasons behind the scenes, but they will not say that politics will not allow it, because once it is announced, it is very likely to upend the current world order.

But it is feasible to create a virus that screens the genes of a specific human race.

Race is essentially a science of frequency, it is not a clear line, but in many genetic variations, there are still large statistical differences between races and races, and even between different ethnic groups within the same race, in addition to the genes themselves, in the expression of genes, this frequency difference also exists in large numbers.

Similar effects exist on some of the more insidious genetic traits in humans.

For example, an unknown protein in a given person's body may be twice as much as the average person, and it happens to be the key to a certain virus to unlock the super evolution.

So theoretically, there is a possibility that a certain virus is more likely to infect a certain population, or to be more violent.

The mechanism of the virus invading the human body is similar to that of a key to unlocking, and if the key that comes with the virus matches the lock on the human cell, the cell can be opened.

Thomas the first result of their study, superhuman receptors, is more in men, especially in Asian men.

However, viruses are the source of uncertainty, and they don't listen to humans so much, even if they act on the same lock, the specific mechanism of action and details are very different, and it is difficult to match the key according to the lock.

Any physiological activity of the human body is not determined by one gene or one protein, but also the relationship between genes and genes, proteins and proteins, as well as more complex factors that affect the effect of the virus.

At this time, Yang Pingfan also received a message from Li Lan asking him to go to Europe.

Company X organized a large number of capable personnel to go to Greece and Northern Europe, the purpose is unknown, Li Lan accepted the arrangement of the resistance organization, responsible for exploring the purpose behind the investigation, and now has an eyebrow, but after reading the information found out, she felt that the matter was important, and did not choose to report to the organization, but first found Yang Pingfan.

Yang Pingfan repeatedly explained to Dr. Leonard, he must be optimistic about Zuo Ci, this person is not simple, and he must not be allowed to lose control, Dr. Leonard agrees on the surface, but in his heart he has another opinion, Yang Pingfan can't see through people's hearts, and he doesn't know that the combination of Zuo Ci + Dr. Leonard will bring about a devastating impact.

Yang Pingfan changed his identity and flew from Gotham to Zeus City to meet Li Lan, the two had not seen each other for a while, after a while, Yang Pingfan asked the reason, Li Lan asked, "Do you know Greek mythology?"

Yang Pingfan thief hee, "emmm...... I have the impression that they are a model of the relationship between men and women within the Greek gods, and the whole legend is how their family is messed up. ”

"Nasty,"

Li Lan slapped him, she turned her head, her face was full of brilliance, a pair of big watery eyes stared at his face with a glow, and began to do simple science popularization for Yang Pingfan.

Greek mythology is the basic scale of ancient Greek aborigines on the basis of long-term oral transmission and borrowing from the myths that have been transmitted to Greece and other countries, and later recorded in Homer's "Homeric Epic" and Hesiod's "Theogony" and ancient Greek poetry, drama, history, philosophy and other works, and later generations have compiled them into the current ancient Greek mythological stories.

The Greek mythology system is very rich, every thing and human activity in ancient Greek reality, from Gaia, the mother of the earth, who is in charge of the earth, to the most famous goddess of wisdom, Athena, the sun god Apollo, can find the responsible god, in addition to the richness, what is more amazing is the details and scale of the gods, you must know that the gods are high, in other civilizations, there will be no arranging the private life stories of the gods, but the gods in Greek mythology are the same as people, both the beauty of people's physique, and the seven emotions and six desires of people, know how to be happy, angry, sad, and participate in human activities。

The difference between God and man is only that the former has eternal life and no period of death, while the latter has a limited life, birth, old age, sickness and death.

The gods in Greek mythology have distinct personalities, there is no element of asceticism, and there is little mysticism, and the gods still have a fate, and they will still be trapped by love and do bad things for their own interests.

Yang Pingfan muttered, "It sounds more like a ...... Why do you ask why the extravagant and debaucherous life of the higher rulers has been recorded by the slaves below?"

Li Lan straightened her body, raised her hands, stretched out to the back of her head, pulled up her hair, and a strand of hair on her forehead hung down, fluttering on her lips, this beautiful picture of pulling her hair made Yang Pingfan's heart erupt again, and couldn't help but hug her and warm her up again, Li Lan panted and leaned on his arms, muttering: "Liu Yuan gathered a group of experts in the fields of archaeology, history, literature, anthropology, and mercenaries, and went to Asia Minor and Northern Europe, I don't believe that he was just to study ancient Greek and Norse mythology." ”

Yang Pingfan remembered that he was brought back from the late Eastern Han Dynasty and is currently in North America Zuo Ci, and his heart sank, "Myths and legends in history will not come out of nothing, could it be that Liu Yuan discovered something?"

"So what are we going to do?"

Li Lan raised his head and looked at Yang Pingfan, "This is also the purpose of my calling you, if you want to find the truth, we have to take the brain network and break through." ”

——

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yuan's Suzaku County.

Soon after repelling the attack of Eastern Wu, the spies released reported that a team of people under the banner of Liu Zi asked to meet Liu Yuan.

It turned out that this was Liu Bei's people, and I heard that a Vermilion Bird Marquis was suddenly born in Vermilion Bird County, who first took Zhuque County from Cao Cao's hands, and then defeated the covetousness of Wu Jun, so he sent people over to inquire about the truth.

There was a young man in the crowd, less than thirty years old, dressed as a scribe, Liu Yuan saw it from afar, and was surprised in his heart, saying that Liu Bei should not send Zhuge Liang, right?

The two sides met with courtesy, politely, and introduced each other, and sure enough, Liu Bei did not hesitate to send Zhuge Liang over, which shows the determination to recruit allies, and the hidden attributes of the heroes are exposed.

Liu Yuan invited Zhuge Liang into the city, Zhuge Liang sat in an open-top carriage, looked at the orderly refugee camp outside the city and the mottled traces of battle at the head of the city, and then looked at the urban order that had been restored in the city, and his expression gradually became serious.

The two sides sat down in the Zhuque Marquis's mansion, Zhuge Liang asked euphemistically about Liu Yuan's origin, Liu Yuan said that he was the king of Zhongshan Jing, has been living in seclusion in the area of the Vermilion Bird Funiu Mountain, Yiran cultivated and read, incognito, just because he couldn't bear the people to suffer, resolutely showed the banner, called on the township to raise troops, captured the Vermilion Bird, and led the Vermilion Bird too much.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is also a member of the Han family, I have heard Your Excellency's name for a long time when I lived in seclusion in Nanyang, but I didn't have the opportunity to see the real person, this time I finally got my wish, fortunately, fortunately, hahahahaha. ”

Liu Yuan is here, but Zhuge Liang is slandering on the side: Suzaku is located on the ground of Jingzhou and is under the jurisdiction of Liu Biao, Liu Biao is a weak person, but he has always been generous and generous to the clan, and there has never been a shortage of various expenses, how can he turn a blind eye to the clan living in seclusion in Funiu Mountain?

Of course, the surface is still polite, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Yuan what his plans were, Liu Yuan sighed, "What else? Cao thief is violent, careless of human life, hijacking the Han family, poisoning the world, the community is in danger of exhausting eggs, the living beings are in urgent need of hanging upside down, above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat Lu, so that the wolf-hearted dog-lungs are raging in the dynasty, and the servants and servants have been in power, so that the society has become a mound ruins, although a certain is weak, but it is not a knee-bending person, it must be with Cao Cao to the end. ”

Liu Yuan said while recalling whether there was a mistake in the line of robbing Zhuge Liang and scolding Wang Lang.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, there is such a reasonable and loyal person as the prince and the marquis, and the eradication of the traitor is just around the corner, and now the Cao thief is powerful, and only by joining forces can he have a chance of winning, I don't know what the prince and the marquis want?"

Liu Yuan nodded, "If you are together, you will be strong, and if you are scattered, I understand." ”

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, this task has been basically completed, and added, "I see that there is little food in the Suzaku land, and now there are many displaced people gathered outside, and my lord can support some grain and grass to solve the current predicament of Suzaku." ”

Liu Yuan's face was happy, "I can't thank you enough." ”

Liu Bei has a lot of things to do, and all kinds of military affairs are coordinated by Zhuge Liang, so he hurried back in a hurry, and Yin Yin said goodbye, "My lord is currently stationed in Jiangxia, if your Excellency is free, you might as well come over and talk about it." ”

Liu Yuan held his hand and didn't let go, his expression was sincere, enough to compete for the Oscar, "When I settle down Suzaku, I will definitely come to visit." ”

Liu Bei really sent a batch of grain and grass to solve the problem of starvation of the people in Vermilion Bird City, Liu Yuan did not open the warehouse to make a big pot of rice, but ordered the conscription from the refugees.

In peacetime, the recruiting flag was erected, and they had their own food people, not to mention the troubled times, the traversers quickly recruited another 5,000 young men from the refugees, adding up to 10,000 horses under Liu Yuan, all of which were thrown to Guo Xiong and Li Dong for training.

Guo Xiong stepped forward and said, "Boss, the next step should be to engage in farming, you have brought all the young and strong to the barracks, Liu Bei sent this grain and grass, I am afraid that it will be eaten up in less than a month." ”

Liu Yuan was extremely disdainful when he heard this, "Farming? Even if there are chemical fertilizers, pesticides, agricultural machinery, and the most productive sweet potato varieties, it will take more than three months to grow the first batch of grain. ”

Yang Pingfan's experience has proved that if the traverser wants to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the army under his command in a short period of time, the bow and crossbow are the best choice, with strong penetration, great lethality, short training cycle, recruits only need to learn to listen to the command, winding, aiming, firing, with three-stage strike tactics, the power even exceeds the early musket, as long as it is not in the face of large-scale cavalry charge, the general battle will not fall behind.

In the warlord melee in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan once broke out the battle of the boundary bridge, and the history books recorded: "Shao Ling Lu Yi took 800 soldiers as the first to ascend, and the strong crossbow was carried by 1,000 zhang, and Shao Zi formed a formation with tens of thousands of infantry." Yijiu is in Liangzhou, Xiao Xi Qiang fights, and the soldiers are sharp. ”

Seeing that his soldiers were few, Zan let his horse go and wanted to trap him. The volunteers all lay motionless under the ambush, not to dozens of steps, but at the same time, shouting dust, clashing straight forward, strong crossbows and thunder, and the middle of the army will fall", Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi used 800 crossbowmen to defeat the "more than 10,000" cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, including the elite "White Horse Yicong"! You must know that the White Horse Yicong is the most famous light cavalry unit in history, and the famous Zhao Yun was born here.

It is very clear in the history books that these 800 people "Xiao Xi Qiang Fight", that is, familiar with "Riding Fight", when Gongsun Zhan's cavalry rushed in, they hid under the "Qiang", and rushed out together when they "did not reach dozens of steps", and used thousands of "strong crossbows" to shoot down Gongsun Zhan's "control strings" in the north.

It can be seen from this that the lethality of the "strong crossbow" to the "control string" lacking heavy armor can be described as "terrifying".

Of course, the defects of the bow and crossbow troops are also obvious, and the biggest problem is the material and production process, in ancient times, a qualified bow and crossbow required at least half a year for skilled craftsmen to build.

But this is difficult for the traversers, especially Su Yu, who specializes in how to quickly establish a cross-era civilization after the crossing, and is personally guided by her to improve the production method, abandoning the ancient craftsman who is responsible for all the processes, and turning to the division of labor, directly applying the Ford production method and Taylor work system to carry out assembly line operations.

Skilled craftsmen are responsible for the production of key components and final assembly, ordinary craftsmen are responsible for the production of general parts, unified size, standardized assembly line production, no mulberry wood, multi-layer bamboo chips, no rubber bands, just use hemp rope to tie silk for strings, and the production is not a Han crossbow, but nearly a thousand years later in the Song Dynasty Divine Arm Bow, the structure is more compact, the performance is more powerful, and the range can reach 240 steps.

The crossbowmen unit also learned from the practice of Western countries in later generations, each of them was issued a large shield, which was very tall and attached to a wooden tripod support, a team of crossbowmen could use the shield to set up a shield wall, which was protected when pulling the crossbow and bow, and the soldiers could lean over behind the shield to tighten the crossbow and bowstring, and when shooting, only the crossbow and helmet would expose the shield wall, which greatly improved the survival rate.

On the other side, after losing Vermilion Bird City, Cao Cao did not launch an army to attack, not that he let Liu Yuan and them go, but felt that it was unnecessary, probably Boss Cao felt that Vermilion Bird City was already in the bag, and what should be his own after the decisive battle was his own.

Several forces stopped friction, began to accumulate strength, and moved closer to Chibi, but Jiangxia sent Liu Bei's handwritten letter, with sincere words, inviting Liu Yuan to reminisce about the past.

Guo Xiong was a little puzzled, "How can this Liu Bei treat the boss...... The lord is so enthusiastic, I'm afraid he has bad intentions. ”

Su Yu understated, "That's not it, the fundamental reason is that the pressure on Cao Cao is getting bigger and bigger, the battle of Chibi in history is about to break out, Liu Bei's men are only tens of thousands, and there is no chance of winning in the face of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of people, so we can only win as many allies as possible, we defeated Cao Cao, defeated Sun Quan, who stretched out his claws, and proved his worth, Liu Bei will definitely not give up wooing." ”

Liu Yuan very readily agreed to Liu Bei's invitation, and decided to take Guo Xiong and Li Dong to go, and the others stayed in Suzaku to prepare for the war, they took a warship against the river, and Suzaku also had his own sailor, because of the last attack on the Dongwu side, Zhou Tai Jiang Qin's warships were all accepted by Liu Yuan with a smile.

Jiangxia is a military fortress along the river, stationed with 20,000 soldiers and horses, originally Liu Qi's territory, now Jingzhou has been annexed by Cao Cao, Liu Qi is very self-aware, simply handed over the money and grain of the general horse to Liu Bei, his son Liu Biao accumulated the family business, was given to Cao Cao by the second son, and the rest was given to Liu Bei by the eldest son.

The warship of the Vermilion Bird Sailor Division also docked at the Jiangxia Wharf, Liu Yuan took Guo Xiong and Li Dong to get off the ship, and found that Liu Bei was already waiting by the dock, and immediately prepared to salute and greet him, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to support it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I didn't expect Suzaku to have such heroic figures." ”

The average height of the three traversers is nearly 1.9 meters, and they are wearing an outer skeleton mecha that has been transformed and disguised into armor.

In Liu Bei's eyes, the three of them are nine feet tall, with thin waists, smooth faces, white robes and silver armor, cool and handsome, they are simply natural generals, for the princes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the luxury goods such as wine swords and famous horses and beauties are far less than excellent generals and strategists, and Liu Bei is the same, I can't wait to accept Guo Chen's two generals on the spot, but it is not good to dig the wall directly because of Liu Yuan's face.
