"What do you think is the fundamental reason why European and American countries insist on waging war against China?" Tang Xiaosheng asked.

"China has risen too fast and is already threatening the hegemony of European and American countries." Ouyang Ke replied without thinking about it.

Wei Xiaobao agreed with Ouyang Kedi's statement and added: "As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. After more than 30 years of development, China is now a tiger on the earth, and as another tiger on the earth, the European and American empires will naturally not sit idly by and watch China rise. ”

Tang Xiaosheng followed Wei Xiaobao's words and said: "Lao Bao is right, one mountain is indeed difficult to accommodate two tigers. However, if there is still a dinosaur in the mountains, then the two tigers will probably stop fighting and will unite to deal with the dinosaurs. ”

"Dinosaurs?" Ouyang Ke frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I understand what Lao Yin means." Now that Europe and the United States and China are the two hegemons on the planet, they have become enemies. If a new and more powerful hegemon emerges on the planet now, above China, Europe and the United States, then China and Europe and the United States may become friends and enemies against this new hegemon. ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "That's what I meant." If aliens invade the earth now, then China and Europe and the United States will definitely no longer fight among themselves, but will unite to fight against the alien invasion. ”

Wei Xiaobao's eyelids raised and asked, "However, there are no aliens to occupy the earth now?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "There are indeed no aliens to occupy the earth now, but. There could be other unknown species that have taken over the planet, such as viruses. ”

"Virus?"

"Yes." Tang Xiaosheng explained, "Six months ago, Zixia discovered a new type of virus in the laboratory. Once the human body is infected with this virus, the body temperature will drop sharply, become very cold, and then enter a state of 'hibernation', as if sleeping in the past, and the body's metabolism will become very slow. Almost stopped. Because the effect of infection with this virus is very similar to the effect of freezing the human body. Zixia then named the virus 'Frozen Bug'. ”

For the past thirty years, Zixia has been a senior researcher at the Chrono Science and Technology City. Although Zixia is a time-traveler from "Journey to the West", it is not surprising for modern people to name it "Zixia", therefore. After entering the Chrono Science and Technology City. Zixia just changed her appearance. But he didn't change his name.

Because Zixia can never forget, her knowledge is beyond ordinary people, except for Tang Xiaosheng. There is probably no one in the world who is more knowledgeable than her. Unlike Tang Xiaosheng, Zixia's main field is not cosmology, but life science.

The reason why Zixia chose to study life science is mainly to help Nie Xiaoqian crack the "gene of the human soul" as soon as possible. Nie Xiaoqian has been analyzing the structure of the human soul and trying to draw a "genetic map of the human soul", hoping to help unravel the mystery of soul crossing.

It's just that the structure of the human soul is very complex, and Nie Xiaoqian has been studying it for more than thirty years, but she still hasn't been able to fully understand the mystery of the soul. Zixia and Nie Xiaoqian are good sisters, so they naturally want to help her, so when Zixia arrived in the Chrono Science and Technology City, she devoted most of her energy to studying life.

Twenty years ago, in 2048, at Ouyang Ke's request, Zixia established a scientific research project on the "Human Body Freezing" technique, which researched the topic of "exploring the technique of freezing and thawing living people".

A person's lifespan is limited, but if you can develop the technique of "freezing a living person", then there is hope to extend a person's lifespan.

Because with this technique, it is possible to freeze a living person, make him unconscious, and wait until decades or even hundreds of years later, then thaw the person and revive him. In this way, the person can live for decades or even centuries.

Ouyang Kezhi said that he could live for more than a hundred years at most, and in order to prolong his lifespan, he spent a huge amount of money to develop the technique of freezing the living.

Since Zixia is a top expert in the medical field in the Chrono Science and Technology City, she has always been in charge of this scientific research project.

Unfortunately, just six months ago, Zixia accidentally discovered a strange virus called "Frozen Bug" in the laboratory.

After some research, Zixia found that if humans are infected with this virus called "frozen worm", their body temperature will drop sharply, and they will become a "frozen person" and enter a deep sleep. When the "frozen worm" is removed from the body, the person's body temperature will return to normal and "wake up" again.

After a pause, Tang Xiaosheng explained to Wei Xiaobao and Ouyang Ke: "We can spread this 'frozen worm' virus to the United States and let the virus spread wantonly in the United States." As more and more people become infected with the 'Frozen Worm' virus, the countries of the world will be shrouded in the shadow of this virus of unknown origin. At that time, European and American countries will not have the heart to fight with China, and all their energy will be used to fight the virus. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao understood it, frowned, and asked with concern: "Lao Yin, can it be treated after being infected with this 'frozen worm' virus?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "It can be treated." Zixia has found a way to get rid of the 'frozen worm' in her body, but the process of removing the virus is complicated, and even I don't know much about it. If you want to know the details of Lu Dao, you can only ask Zixia to make some introductions. What is certain is that Zixia should be the only one in the world who knows how to treat patients infected with 'frozen worms'. ”

"That's great!" When Ouyang Ke heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he said excitedly, "In this way, when the 'Frozen Worm' virus spreads around the world, all countries in the world will not be able to find a cure." At a time when the countries of the world are helpless and the people of the world are in despair, we will play the role of saviors again, come to the rescue, and announce that we will find a cure for the 'frozen worm' and save all mankind. At that time, China will become a hero of all countries in the world, and European and American countries will certainly not be embarrassed to start wars again. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder Lao Yin would say that this method is a bit despicable." Actually, it's not just a little mean. It's so despicable, it's so shameless! Let's spread the virus by ourselves first, and then play the savior ourselves, which is indeed undisciplined. With a sigh, he added, "However, in order to maintain the peace of the world, I can only be despicable once. ”

"Lao Bao is right!" Ouyang Ke agreed, "Although Lao Yin's method is indeed despicable, it is also a helpless way. If the 'freeze bug' virus is not spread. There will definitely be a war. When the time comes, the consequences will be even more severe. ”

Tang Xiaosheng coughed and said, "Actually, this is only the first step. The meaner is yet to come. ”

"And the back?"

"Yes." Tang Xiaosheng nodded. Road. "In addition to spreading the virus, we also have to blame the United States and other European and American countries for the source of the virus. When the virus begins to spread throughout the world, everyone will definitely ask about the source of the virus. Then. We're going to blame the source of the virus on the United States......"

"How to blame the United States?" Ouyang Ke interrupted.

Tang Xiaosheng analyzed: "The American Academy of Sciences has been exploring the Crossing Technique, and there is also a 'Multiverse Connector' in the Academy of Sciences, which can receive information from other universes. At that time, we can say that these 'frozen bugs' came from other universes. They traveled from other universes to Earth through the 'Multiverse Connector' of the National Academy of Sciences, causing scientists from the National Academy of Sciences to be infected. As a result, the American Academy of Sciences became the birthplace of the virus. ”

In 2033, the National Academy of Sciences will develop the world's first "multiverse connector" and receive information from other universes. Over the past 30 years, the National Academy of Sciences has developed eight more "multiverse connectors", and each one is more advanced than the other, and it has also collected more and more information about other universes.

However, the National Academy of Sciences still has no idea what exactly the information collected by these "multiverse connectors" is, and they have no idea what they have received.

In this way, if Tang Xiaosheng lied that the "multiverse connector" of the American Academy of Sciences inadvertently received a virus and lured the virus "frozen worm" from other universes to the earth, many people would definitely believe it.

After all, Tang Xiaosheng (Yin Weijian) currently has unparalleled influence in the global academic community, and is the only authority in the world, and almost no one will question what he said, because no one on the planet has such qualifications.

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao basically understood what Yin Weijian meant, and added: "If the blame is to be blamed on the American Academy of Sciences, then doesn't it mean that we must go to the American Academy of Sciences to spread the virus, so that the American Academy of Sciences will become the source of the virus." ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Tang Xiaosheng continued, "When the American Academy of Sciences becomes the birthplace of viruses, the countries of the world will be more convinced that these viruses have crossed from other universes to Earth through the 'multiverse connector' of the American Academy of Sciences. At that time, I will add fuel to the fire, claiming that the United States' 'multiverse connector' has major flaws, so that the countries of the world will strongly demand that the United States stop research on the 'multiverse connector'. ”

"If we do this, will we push the United States into a hurry?" Ouyang Ke asked with concern.

Tang Xiaosheng shook his head: "Don't worry, we blame the American Academy of Sciences, not to force them into a corner, but to let them cooperate with us." When countries around the world are questioning the American Academy of Sciences' 'multiverse connector' for a major flaw, a flaw that only China can help improve. In this way, the United States will definitely choose to cooperate with China. At that time, not only will there be no war, but it will also be possible to promote the great unification of the countries of the world, form a true alliance state, and do scientific research together, which is also our long-term goal. ”

After listening to his analysis, Ouyang Ke couldn't help but feel a little excited, if the countries of the World Continent could really form a big alliance to explore the Crossing Technique together, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ke patted Tang Xiaosheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Yin, I can't imagine that you usually look quite honest, and you can come up with such a despicable and shameless method, I really convince you." ”

Tang Xiaosheng rubbed the tip of his nose and declared: "The method I just mentioned to spread the virus in the United States was just a temporary thought of me, just for your reference. If you think this is too immoral, you can think of another way......"

"No, no, no!" Ouyang Ke waved his hand and interrupted, "This method of yours is indeed quite immoral, doing bad things yourself, and then blaming others, and finally becoming a good person, it is really shameless." However, in order not to break out into war, in order to maintain peace in the world. We have to do even the most despicable things! Turning his head, he asked Wei Xiaobao, "Old Bao, what do you say?" ”

Wei Xiaobao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Lao Ke is right, in the current situation, if we don't spread the virus, it will inevitably lead to a war in the world, and that will outweigh the losses." Although Lao Yin's plan is not very kind. But it's also a good idea. ”

Ouyang Ke said: "Since Lao Bao has agreed. This matter should be decided as soon as possible, and acted on as soon as possible. The 17 countries of Europe and the United States may use force at any time, and if it drags on any longer, we may not even have a chance to spread the virus. ”

"Old Hack is right. That's what I mean. This matter is not in a hurry. Wei Xiaobao said to Tang Xiaosheng. Lao Yin, you communicate with Zixia first and ask about the method of spreading the 'Frozen Worm' virus. And then try to get the virus to the United States tomorrow. At the American Academy of Sciences, there are our people, and when the time comes, they will be responsible for spreading the virus. ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "Okay, I'll go find Zixia right away." ”

"In that case, let's go separate and get in touch when we have a situation."

……

After the meeting, Tang Xiaosheng left Ouyang Ke's office building and went to a laboratory on the 1999th floor of the Chrono Building, where he found Zixia.

The laboratory of the "Human Freezing Technique" in charge of Zixia was on the 1999 floor, and the "Freezing Bug" virus was also discovered here.

After finding Zixia, Tang Xiaosheng told him about spreading "frozen insects" in the United States and consulted her opinion.

Zixia has been researching the virus for the past six months since the discovery of the "Frozen Bug". She found that after the human body was infected with the virus, it could only be treated accordingly to get rid of the virus, and there were almost no side effects on the human body.

Therefore, if the spread of the "Frozen Worm" virus can prevent the war from happening and bring peace to the world, it is still possible to give it a try. Because patients infected with the virus can recover completely as long as they receive treatment, this cost is very small.

The only tricky problem is that the "frozen worm" virus does not multiply and spread too quickly, and even after the spread of the American Academy of Sciences, it may take a month to infect the entire population of Washington, D.C., with the virus.

War between China and Europe and the United States is on the verge of breaking out, and the time is very short. After learning the news, Wei Xiaobao made a decision to send the virus to the American Academy of Sciences tomorrow and spread the virus.

The stakes are very high, and just in case, Tang Xiaosheng will personally send the virus to the American Academy of Sciences. Since this matter is a state secret, according to the regulations, it is necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement.

So, in the early morning of March 3, Wei Xiaobao sent a "Confidentiality Agreement" from Beijing to Ouyang Ke's office, and asked Ouyang Ke to forward the document to Yin Weijian, so that Yin Weijian could sign the "Confidentiality Agreement".

At six o'clock in the morning on March 3, on the 888th floor of the Chrono Building, the mayor's office.

"Lao Yin, this is the "Confidentiality Agreement" just sent by Lao Bao, you can sign it!" Ouyang Ke handed Tang Xiaosheng a document he had just received.

Tang Xiaosheng took the document of the "Confidentiality Agreement", opened it, and found that the text of the document not only stated the specific terms of the confidentiality agreement, but also the content of the confidentiality.

When he saw this "Confidentiality Agreement", Tang Xiaosheng's heart couldn't help but move slightly, and he couldn't help but think of decades ago in his mind. This "confidentiality agreement" looks like the "performance contract" of the crew, the terms of the confidentiality agreement are equivalent to the terms of the performance agreement, and the content of confidentiality is equivalent to the content of the script.

After careful analysis, Tang Xiaosheng feels that the "Confidentiality Agreement" and the "Performance Contract" are really somewhat similar.

Tang Xiaosheng hasn't acted for decades, let alone signed any "Performance Contract", so when he saw this "Confidentiality Agreement" today, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

After roughly reading the contents of the "Confidentiality Agreement", Tang Xiaosheng took out a newly developed electronic pen, and then wrote his name in the "Name" column of the "Confidentiality Agreement".

After signing his name, Tang Xiaosheng closed the "Confidentiality Agreement", handed it to Ouyang Ke, and said, "I have signed the document, you can help hand it over to Lao Bao!" ”

"No problem." Ouyang Ke said, "Lao Bao is going to let you go to the United States at ten o'clock this morning to broadcast the virus as soon as possible." He looked at the time and said, "It's six o'clock in the morning, and there are still four hours left, so let's have a meal together, and we should see you off." ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm a little hungry too." ”

After that, Tang Xiaosheng and Ouyang Ke ordered more than a dozen snacks through the food intelligence system of Chaokong Science and Technology City: fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled dried shredded chicken soup, stewed crab roe, duck wrapped fish, Longjing shrimp, called flower chicken, winter melon cup, red simmered shark fin, rock sugar Xianglian and some vegetarian dishes.

In addition, there is a bottle of Wuliangye, a 150-year-old wine.

The Science and Technology City has long been fully intelligent, and the food in the entire Science and Technology City is made by the intelligent system, and the dozen or so side dishes ordered by Tang Xiaosheng and Ouyang Ke are naturally no exception.

In less than ten minutes, a small aircraft suddenly flew into the office, in a circular shape, with a diameter of about 1.5 meters, it is an unmanned intelligent small aircraft, mainly responsible for the logistics of the Chrono Science and Technology City, transporting various items in the city, such as clothes, home appliances, food, etc.

This time, this smart small plane is responsible for sending Ouyang Ke to deliver more than a dozen side dishes and a bottle of Wuliangye that Ouyang Ke just ordered.

When the smart plane delivered the dishes and wine to the table in the office, Tang Xiaosheng and Ouyang Ke sat down and began to eat delicious food and drink wine while chatting.

In order to explore the Crossing Technique as soon as possible, Tang Xiaosheng and Ouyang Ke have been busy every day in recent decades. Today is a rare opportunity to sit down and have a good meal, and the two of them are very happy and talk about a lot of past things.

The two chatted while eating, and before they knew it, more than three hours had passed.

"Time flies, it's almost ten o'clock." Ouyang Ke looked at the time, picked up a cup, and said to Tang Xiaosheng, "Old Yin, it's almost time for you to go." Without further ado, I wish you all the best! ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can still handle this little thing." ”

After speaking, the two drank a glass of wine and drank it all.

After eating and drinking, it was almost ten o'clock, and Tang Xiaosheng should also go to the airport to take a flight to the United States. When he was about to say goodbye to Ouyang Ke, he suddenly received a message from Zixia.

Clicking on the information, Tang Xiaosheng was suddenly shocked!

The message sent by Zixia was a news message, and the content of the message was: "According to the news from the Washington Television Station in the United States, at about 6 o'clock this morning, a large number of scientific researchers at the American Academy of Sciences in Washington-Fullen suddenly fell into a coma. After the researchers fell unconscious, their body temperature became very cold, as if they had been frozen in the refrigerator. Strangely, these people were only unconscious, but they were not dead. As for the cause of the coma, it is not yet known. Dr. Smith, a renowned medical expert at Washington Hospital, believes that these comatose people may have been infected with a new type of viral ......" (to be continued......
