Chapter 489: Disease Knows No Borders
The people watching the live news broadcast involuntarily sat up straight, patiently waiting for Lord Death's next speech, although the live news broadcast was substandard, but no one cared about Mu Chen's somewhat nervous embarrassment.
"I want to tell you why you want to accept these interstellar refugees first, I won't say the high-sounding words, and everyone won't listen to them, I'll just pick up some of the most practical things and talk about it......"
"The Earth Federation is now firmly established in the universe, and it gradually has our right to speak, so it can be said that the current earthlings do not need to be afraid of any enemies, and no one dares to take the initiative to provoke us." Mu Chen's confident words make every earthling proud.
From weak to powerful, from the dispensable medium civilization race to the sixth highest civilization today, every earthling is a witness to this change, and there is more or less their credit for this.
Think about the past, when the Zerg invaded for the first time, the earthlings were like a great enemy, as if the end was coming, and everyone worked hard to build a fleet that could be used for a battle, and it took a huge price to defeat the Zerg.
And now the Earth Federation is strong enough, and even the invincible angel clan is defeated.
Every earthling is proud and proud of this.
Mu Chen continued: "Being able to have today's status is the result of the joint efforts of every earthling, but I have to admit that there is also the help of aliens.
Our transition technology was learned from Proxima Centauri, the core technology of the battleship was provided by the Dumats, and the medical pod that everyone recently snapped up was also borrowed from the aliens, it can be said that these advanced technologies are the basis for the Earth Federation to stand proudly in the forest of the universe. ”
These words made many people feel uncomfortable, but they had to admit that Mu Chen was right, many changes have taken place in people's lives over the years, a large part of which is due to the improvement of science and technology, and a large part of these technologies are from aliens.
Mu Chen gradually entered the state, and his expression was not as nervous as before: "There are some things that you may not know, which involve some secrets, and it is not convenient to disclose them here, but I can give you an analogy, take the Grim Reaper as an example, more than 50% of the technology is borrowed from the scientific and technological achievements of aliens, without the support of aliens, maybe it is difficult for us to have such a high status now." ”
"That's why I've vigorously accepted interstellar refugees, providing them with a place to live and work in peace and contentment, in exchange for advanced technology in their hands, so as to ensure that our Earth Federation can quickly absorb and convert into its own things......"
This truth is easy to understand, and the people have finally understood that the reason for accepting interstellar refugees is not simply out of goodwill or humanitarianism, but for tangible benefits.
And these interests are closely related to every person on earth, which is equivalent to renting some houses to neighbors in distress and collecting much-needed technology as rent.
"It is true that the influx of interstellar refugees has brought a lot of trouble, and it is understandable that everyone has a clue, and there are some reasons why the federal government is not in place, but I am here to assure you that in the future, we will increase the management of public security issues and resolutely crack down on these illegal acts, and the Earth Federation is willing to take in interstellar refugees, but interstellar scum who cause trouble is not welcome!"
The stone in the hearts of the people has finally been put down, as long as there is the word Mu Chen, they are much more down-to-earth, in all fairness, it is not too much of a problem to receive interstellar refugees, after all, there are so many habitable planets in the solar system that have not yet had time to be developed, just let the interstellar refugees help develop them.
In the end, it is the earthlings who will get the benefits, and the interstellar refugees will have to leave sooner or later, and when they return to their own planets, the developed habitable planets will become the wealth of the earthlings.
It's like renting a rough house to someone else, but the tenant kindly renovates the house, and the landlord doesn't lose money.
The reporter in the audience raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Chief, this epidemic is obviously related to aliens, and this kind of thing may happen again in the future, I don't know how you plan to deal with it." ”
Mu Chen nodded approvingly: "That's a good question, but I need to explain that as the solar system has more and more frequent contact with various civilizations and races in the universe, the possibility of being affected by the interstellar virus is also increasing, which is unavoidable, and it is not because of the reception of interstellar refugees that the virus spreads, and the caravans we send to other galaxies for business activities are also likely to become carriers of the virus."
You can't just stop communicating with the outside world because you can't worry about the virus, right? Isn't this a choking waste?
It is precisely because there are many aliens from various galaxies in the solar system that it is more convenient for us to quickly identify these unfamiliar viruses, and speed up the development of vaccines from the antibodies that may be readily available in the aliens. ”
The reporter continued to ask: "So it's a good thing for us to fight the epidemic?" ”
"Indeed, this virus is completely foreign to the Earth Federation, and it may take decades to find an effective solution with our own medical level alone, and how many unfortunate infections and deaths will be in the process, perhaps and a very frightening number.
But now, with the help of aliens, in just one week, we have determined the nature of the virus, found its origin, and started to develop drugs and vaccines suitable for earthlings, and maybe it won't be long before we can completely defeat this epidemic. ”
This is indeed good news, which means that the lockdown order will soon be lifted, and the number of confirmed cases that are increasing every day will also have the possibility of recovery, and everyone will no longer have to worry about being infected.
"Here I also want to remind everyone that diseases have no borders, and they will not be treated differently because of different races, aliens carry viruses, and the same is true for us earthlings, and we should not look at this problem with colored glasses." Mu Chen said seriously.
……
"No problem now, right?" The wife said with a smile.
"Originally, I didn't have a problem with Lord Death." The husband said without admitting the head of the bull on his back.
"Cut, who just said that you can't figure out why you want to do this? What else do you say to lure the wolf into the house, and the Grim Reaper-sama also has times when he is confused...... "The wife happily debunked her husband's lies.
"I see you've been in arrears lately, and you dare to laugh at me?" The husband threw himself in anger and took his wife in his arms, his fingers constantly teasing her sensitive parts.
"I hate it, I tossed around for half the night yesterday, and I haven't fed you yet?" The wife sneered.
"Idle is idle anyway, why don't we fight for another three hundred rounds?" The husband said with a wicked smile.
"It's still 300 rounds, and people will make you kneel and beg for mercy in one round!"
Soon the sound of a battle of intestines was heard in the room, and such a scene was also played out in many families.
With Mu Chen's live news broadcast, the people's attitude towards aliens has changed a lot, in the end, there are still many sensible people, and alien technology has brought visible benefits, and it is clear which is right and which is wrong.
And the phrase that disease has no borders has also made the headlines of Skynet, and has received a lot of support, the "alien poison theory" has also been well suppressed, a few extremists have also reined in a little, the stubborn have been punished by the law, and Mu Chen's ears have finally cleared up a lot.
At the same time, effective isolation measures have limited the spread of the virus, and although the number of confirmed cases is increasing every day, the growth rate is very slow, and there are no deaths, which has to be said to be excellent news.
The research and development process of the vaccine is also very gratifying, the expert group only took a week to successfully develop the vaccine, and now it has entered the stage of trial trial, I believe that it will not be long before good news comes.
The Earth Federation has survived this catastrophe without any danger, and has not been greatly affected by the epidemic, and the economy may be more affected, but as long as the blockade is lifted, with the current market size, it will soon recover.
The aliens living in the solar system are also a lot more steady, and the people who were no longer afraid of the previous ones are panicked, as for what Mu Chen said, although they are very unpleasant, but it is a fact, the aliens are not afraid of being used by the Earth Federation, which at least shows that they still have the value of being used......
For displaced interstellar refugees, they also don't have the right to ask for too much......
