Chapter 145: Genetic Weapons
"Genetic weapons, to put it bluntly, refer to the use of genetic engineering technology to develop new types of biological warfare agents, and the commonly used means is to insert genes into some pathogenic bacteria or viruses that can fight ordinary vaccines or drugs, so as to achieve the goal of selectively destroying the enemy's living forces."
Ouyang Song pushed his glasses and slowly explained to everyone present with an academic look.
"Wouldn't this genetic weapon be genocidal? That's terrible, isn't it? ”
When she was at the National Defense University, Tan Xiaolin, who had slightly dabbled in genetic weapon materials, couldn't help but exclaim with her mouth slightly open.
"Theoretically, it is possible, but the defect of genetic weapons is that they are too slow to take shape, after all, this is a weapon that is directly used on the human body, and without the human body to support the experiment, it is difficult to develop a truly lethal weapon."
Ouyang Song looked at Tan Xiaolin, nodded, and then opened his mouth to add an explanation.
"Are there any genetic weapons that are in service abroad now?"
Ye Cunxin asked curiously.
"According to the information we have, many countries are now researching genetic weapons, but there are no real ones that can be formed."
Ouyang Song shook his head.
"Then Professor Ouyang, the genetic weapon you developed......"
Hearing Ouyang Song's words, Captain Zhao couldn't help frowning suspiciously, could it be that Professor Ouyang Song's team was the first to develop a genetic weapon? So where did his sample come from?
"The genetic weapon that our team is working on can only be said to be a preparation in the real sense, not a weapon. We are targeting a genetic technique for nerve repair. ”
Ouyang Song looked at Captain Zhao's face, knowing that everyone present had the same doubts in their hearts as Captain Zhao, he couldn't help but smile and explained.
"Nerve repair?"
When the Thunderbolt Commando and others heard this word, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"We all know that the most lethal biological and chemical weapon in the hands of overseas K2 organizations is VX2, which must be very clear to the Thunderbolt Commando."
Seeing this, Tang Xinyi opened her mouth to replace Ouyang Song and spoke, glancing at everyone in the Thunderbolt Commando as she spoke.
Everyone in the Thunderbolt Commando nodded, they had fought against the K2 organization many times, and they were familiar with the name VX2.
VX is a nerve agent that can cause central nervous system disorders, respiratory arrest, and ultimately death in the human body, and is one of the deadliest chemical weapons.
VX2 is an upgraded version of VX poison, which is more toxic and lethal, and the K2 organization now has this deadly biological and chemical weapon in its hands, which can be said to be a very great threat to global security.
"The genetic weapon developed by Professor Ouyang is actually a preparation for the repair of nerve necrosis caused by VX2, and all the samples are from patients in the neurosurgery department of major military hospitals, and more than 3,000 cases of research have been completed, and the cure rate has reached 79.5%, and it has now entered the follow-up stage of improvement."
Tang Xinyi paused, and then explained to everyone, her voice was clear and clear, which made people feel very comfortable to listen to.
After hearing Tang Xinyi and Professor Ouyang Song's explanations, everyone had a preliminary understanding of genetic weapons, if this genetic weapon can really restrain VX2, then the means that terrorists rely on as a barrier will be greatly frustrated.
"Hey, by the way, Xiao Tang, Guoliang, didn't you just say that you made an important discovery? Is there any loophole in genetic weapons? If there is, we have to get to work on it. ”
Ouyang Song remembered that Lin Guoliang's words had not been finished just now, saying that there was something important to discover, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly asked.
"There are no loopholes in genetic weapons, but we have found something else."
Lin Guoliang only found an opportunity to speak at this time, pushed his glasses, looked at Ouyang Song and said.
"Oh? What exactly was the discovery? ”
Ouyang Song hurriedly asked, looking very concerned.
"In order to verify the specificity of genetic weapons and see if they will have side effects or genetic mutations on other species, we have collected a variety of species in various places to do research.
It is precisely for this reason that near Yuntai Mountain, we actually found a special species, like there is a genetic mutation, but we can't make up our minds, so we calculated with Director Tang and hurried to discuss with you. ”
Lin Guoliang said a long list in one breath.
"Oh? Species with genetic variations? Did you bring back any physical items? ”
After Ouyang Song heard Lin Guoliang's words, he couldn't help frowning curiously and asked.
"As soon as this strange species came out, before we could catch it, it disappeared into the mountains in the blink of an eye, and only pictures were taken."
Lin Guoliang said, taking out an envelope from his pocket, which contained several photos.
Ouyang Song took the photo from Lin Guoliang's hand, and the Thunderbolt Commando and Captain Zhao and others all came over to watch it curiously, wanting to see what kind of strange species it was.
"This thing looks like a frog that has grown bigger, but ordinary frogs can't grow that big, right?"
Little Bee looked at the guy in the photo the size of a car tire and said curiously.
"We feel like frogs, too, but ......"
Tang Xinyi frowned, and did not continue halfway through her words.
After all, no one has ever seen a frog the size of a car tire.
"This thing is so big, will it eat people?"
Tang Xiaoxiao bit her index finger and asked with some trepidation.
"I don't know if I eat it or not, but it beats very much, and it jumps out of our sight in a few steps, and our researchers can't catch up at all."
Lin Guoliang explained.
"Yuntai Mountain..."
Ouyang Song pondered alone at this time, muttering in a low voice.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Did you remember something? ”
Seeing this, Ouyang Qian couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern.
"Xiao Tang, I remember that in the clinical research trial, there was a case of failure, is it from the villagers near Yuntai Mountain?"
Ouyang Song raised his head, looked at Tang Xinyi, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"The case of failure comes from the vicinity of Yuntai Mountain?"
Tang Xinyi muttered suspiciously, then picked up the ultra-thin notebook she carried with her and opened the data and materials of clinical research.
Lin Guoliang was puzzled and was about to ask, but was stopped by Ouyang Song, his eyes stared at Tang Xinyi tightly, and the audience was suddenly quiet, only the sound of Tang Xinyi's "rustling" operation of the computer remained.
"I found it, there is really a villager from near Yuntai Mountain, the symptom is ganglion paralysis and necrosis, and after the intervention of genetic weapons, there is no effect."
Tang Xinyi said, handed over the computer, and showed Ouyang Song and the others the information.
At the same time, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but secretly admire Professor Ouyang Song in her heart, but she didn't expect that these experimental data and information were actually printed in Professor Ouyang Song's brain, which is the attitude of doing scientific research.
