Chapter 198: The Umbrella Company

After reading the information about zombies completed by Professor Kong, Lin Nan and Jiang Lin couldn't help but have a trace of admiration on their faces, especially Lin Nan, the admiration in their eyes made Professor Kong a little embarrassed: "A major is a major, I just thought of a few characteristics, but you can use science to explain these characteristics, which helps us greatly increase the authenticity of zombies!" ”

For a zombie movie, the biggest success is to make the audience really believe that there may be zombies in this world after watching the movie!

The admiration on Lin Nan's face Professor Kong was in his eyes, but Professor Kong was not proud, but said to Lin Nan: "I'm not as powerful as you think, and I can have such an effect just because the characteristics you wrote are originally very consistent with scientific principles, which is why I doubt that there is really such a monster in this world, because it is really difficult for me to imagine that a person with almost no biological knowledge can come up with such a thing!" ”

Professor Kong shook his head and sighed as he spoke, which made Lin Nan's old face reddened slightly, and explained: "It's not that I have no knowledge of biology, I have studied in middle school for several years!" ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Professor Kong directly rolled his eyes and asked unceremoniously, "Do you know how the evolution of living things is?" ”

"Professor, you look down on me, Darwin's theory of natural selection I still learned in high school!" Lin Nan smiled and said.

Professor Kong glanced at Lin Nan and said, "That's!" ”

"How is that possible? That's what our high school textbooks say! Lin Nan's face was full of disbelief, and Jiang Lin, who was paralyzed on the side, was also slightly moved when he heard Professor Kong say this.

Seeing the two of them like this, Professor Kong explained: "The evolution of living things is actually difficult to say how it is carried out until now, and Darwin's theory of evolution has indeed solved many problems, but there are too many loopholes in the theory of evolution, and it has become too many to be ignored!" ”

Lin Nan nodded, although he didn't know why Professor Kong was talking to him about this, but out of politeness, he was still listening very seriously, and he was also more interested in this.

"The Cambrian is the first epoch of the Paleozoic era. Research evidence shows: The Cambrian period was from about 544 million years ago to 505 million years ago. The earliest life on Earth appeared about 3.8 billion years ago. During the 3.2 billion years from 3.8 billion to 600 million years ago, the rate of biological evolution was very slow. The earliest prokaryotes may have been 3.5 billion years ago, and the earliest eukaryotes were 2 billion years ago, from then until 600 million years ago. Organisms on Earth are almost all single-celled. It wasn't until the Cambrian period that a wide variety of multicellular animals suddenly appeared on Earth, a phenomenon known as the Cambrian explosion of life! Almost all species on Earth so far originated from that explosion! Professor Kong then added.

"This means that the evolution of living things is not really a gradual process, but more like a sudden process?" It was the first time Lin Nan had heard this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but ask in shock.

Professor Kong nodded after hearing Lin Nan's question and said: "The discontinuity of biological fossils is a true reflection of history, which also shows that the evolution of organisms is discontinuous, and new species always appear rapidly in a short period of time, and then there is a long period of evolutionary stagnation until another rapid speciation appears. ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan frowned and pondered for a while, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. After glancing at Jiang Lin on the side, they obviously saw a hint of understanding in the other party's eyes, and then the two bowed to Professor Kong together: "Thank you, Professor Kong!" ”

"Thank you for what I'm looking at, the old man is also bored, okay, let's leave quickly!" Professor Kong didn't understand that what he had just said gave the two men a big hint. just waved his hand indifferently, signaling that the two could leave.

After leaving Professor Kong's laboratory, Lin Nan sighed, "The evolution of this creature is really amazing! Professor Kong has a good idea for us! ”

Jiang Lin nodded, of course he knew what Lin Nan meant by the good move, that is, the biological evolution that Professor Kong said, combining this kind of thing with zombies can make the zombie team continue to expand. It is not only limited to humans infected with viruses or exposed to nuclear radiation, but also the genetic mutations of other animals to produce more powerful zombies!

Professor Kong, this is a good hint for them!

After returning to the company, Lin Nan first asked Jiang Lin to talk to the other members of the screenwriting team about zombies, while he sat in the office and thought about which zombie movie to put on the big screen first.

Lin Nan listed all the more successful zombie movies he could think of on a piece of paper, and finally selected another zombie movie series that is extremely classic in the world - "Resident Evil"!

The reason why it was decided to shoot "Resident Evil". Mainly because this movie is very detailed and successful in shaping zombies, and the most important thing is that it is not only a movie, but also a very successful game series, some of the settings in the game can be used directly as long as Lin Nan is willing, without spending more time conceiving the world background.

And Lin Nan had another idea in his heart. In another world, "Resident Evil" has a game and then a movie, and the movie is adapted from a game, and in this world, Lin Nan wants to change the movie into a game!

But this is just an idea.,It's not a simple thing to adapt a movie to a game.,Anyway, Lin Nan doesn't have that ability.,The best way is to find a reliable game company to cooperate.,But it's too early to think about this.,After all, the movie is still not a word.。

After deciding to shoot "Resident Evil", Lin Nan gathered his screenwriting team together and began to tell them about the background setting and general line of "Resident Evil".

In 1960, the sixth-generation head of the illustrious Ahifort family, Edward Edward. Ahifort and the young aristocrat Oswell E. Spencer discovered an ancient virus in the Asteraceae plant "Ladder of the Sun" in the ruins of Gudipaya, Africa, which can mutate organisms genetically, lose consciousness, and possess strong vitality and resistance. Given the virus's bizarre characteristics, the two decided to study the virus and named it "Archaeopteryx".

Edward. Ahiford, Oswell E. Spencer and James Marcus founded the multinational pharmaceutical company Umbrella Inc. On the surface, the company is a large-scale pharmaceutical company of OnePlus, but in fact it is conducting research and development of viruses.

Since he couldn't find a way to stabilize the virus, Edward. Ahifond gradually neglected to take care of the company's business. The power gradually fell into the hands of Spencer.

The Umbrella Company has begun to build secret research institutes around the world to develop various biochemical weapons for the progenitor virus and the new virus "T" virus. Company Director James Brown. In 1976, Marcus became the head of the Raccoon City Research Institute and the new Cadre Training Center.

By 1977, research on the new virus had finally paid off, and the breakthrough that Marcus had expected had achieved by combining the virus with leech DNA. Marcus named it the "T" virus. In order to refine the virus, Marcus decided to abandon rodents as research subjects and instead use mammals, using humans as test subjects if necessary.

……

Lin Nan told the members of the screenwriting team about the world background and main plot of "Resident Evil", he talked more and more energetically, and the members of the screenwriting team listened more and more frightened, because the background setting that Lin Nan told was very complete, they really couldn't imagine how Lin Nan conceived and designed it, originally a zombie shocked them Lin Nan's imagination, but now the background of this world is compared. Zombies are really nothing, because zombies are just a finished product after all, and now what he is telling is the evolutionary history of zombies!

Lin Nan saw the shock on the faces of the employees, but he would not explain to these people that what he was talking about was actually something that countless people in another world had perfected for more than ten years.

After explaining the general world background and the generation and development of zombies, Lin Nan paused for a while. Let the members of the screenwriting team digest it, and after a while, Lin Nan began to officially explain the main plot of the first movie of "Resident Evil" to them.

In the huge underground genetic research center of the "Hive", the home of the Umbrella Company, there are many mysterious bioengineers who study viruses and biological weapons for the Umbrella Company.

Suddenly, a deadly virus sealed in a glass vial erupts and spreads rapidly through the "hive".

A super-intelligent supercomputer "Red Queen", who controls and monitors the entire "hive", discovers the incident in order to prevent the virus from leaking out. It sealed off the entire hive and killed all the staff trapped inside.

Alice, who is temporarily amnesiac, wakes up in her bathroom and encounters the Umbrella Corporation contingent.

The task force is tasked with entering the "hive", seeing what is going on inside the "hive", and then shutting down the "Red Queen".

However, after entering the "hive", the team members discovered that the staff members who had been presumed dead were not really dead.

They have now become the living dead who slowly wander within the "hive" like zombies. That is, zombies.

Whoever bites or scratches them will become infected, and in a very short time, they will become zombies like them!

Alice and the task force must complete their mission in a very short time, or these zombies will be flooded and pose a huge threat to the entire planet if they leak out!

Meantime. Alice's memories keep flashing back, the truth of the facts is constantly revealed, and slowly recovering her memories also reveals that she actually has very good skills.

In order to get close to the "Red Queen", the team members must pass through a series of terrifying obstacles in this hive-like underground laboratory, and any small mistake could take their lives and deal a fatal blow to the team.

As she progressed, people in the team continued to die, and Alice soon discovered that the zombies were actually the result of a variant of the Umbrella Company's virus, the T-virus.

Originally designed to be an anti-aging and neurological treatment, the T virus has the ability to activate dead cells, but after it mutates, it can turn infected people into zombies without thought, pain, or fear.

During the investigation, Alice and the others discovered that an unidentified person had stolen the T-virus and released it into the "hive", which caused the "Red Queen" to close the "hive" and trap everyone.

……

When Lin Nan finished telling the main plot of the first part of the movie, he paused a little before giving a task to the members of the screenwriting team whose eyes lit up: "According to the main plot I just said, combined with the background setting of "Resident Evil", write the script as soon as possible!" ”
