Chapter 487: Alien Virus

In the end, Lin You'er still infiltrated the Federation fleet, and got a position as a trainee report officer on the Grim Reaper, serving as Mu Chen's liaison.

This was arranged by Laura herself, I really don't know what she was thinking, can't you see that Lin You'er is plotting against Mu Chen?

Mu Chen couldn't resist Laura, so he could only acquiesce to Lin You'er's joining, but he was thinking about finding a reason to fire this woman, so as not to have a headache in the future.

On this day, Mu Chen was patrolling the space dock, and suddenly received a call from Uncle Liu:

"Mu Chen, I have bad news to inform you......" Uncle Liu's tone was a little heavy.

"Is it the autonmen who started the invasion?" Mu Chen hurriedly asked, during this period of time, the dynamics of the mechanical clan are very strange, always wandering around the solar system, but they have never attacked, just like a sword hanging over their heads, which may fall at any time, which always makes people feel very unsteady.

"No, no, no, the cyborgs are still the same, it seems that they are also very afraid of our EMP weapons, and they have no plans to go to war for the time being." Uncle Liu said.

"What's the reason for that?" Mu Chen asked suspiciously.

"Recently, a new type of influenza broke out in the solar system, which spread rapidly, and the patients were mainly earthlings, and more than 4,000 cases have been found on the earth." Uncle Liu said solemnly.

"Can you identify the source of infection?" Mu Chen immediately asked.

"Not yet, this flu virus has never been found before, it should have been brought by those interstellar refugees." Uncle Liu sighed and said.

Although the Earth Federation has some strict quarantine procedures for every alien who comes to the solar system, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions.

In particular, viruses that are unique to aliens cannot be detected quickly by existing means.

In fact, there are many deadly viruses on earthlings, but due to years of genetics and mutations, earthlings have naturally formed resistance to these viruses.

However, there are no such antibodies in aliens, so the previous small-scale epidemics were mainly caused by aliens, as long as some vaccines and drugs are injected, they will be cured quickly, and there is no large-scale transmission.

This time it is a little different, the main group of people who are sick are earthlings, which means that it is likely that the virus carried by aliens has infected earthlings.

"Immediately activate the emergency plan, isolate all the sick people, send an investigation team to investigate, and find the source of infection as soon as possible." Mu Chen said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll arrange this right away." Uncle Liu nodded and said.

"Set up an expert group to analyze the virus this time, compare the database, and see if we can find a suitable treatment plan."

Liu Bo sighed and said: "The expert group has already started to work, but at present, it seems that our team has nothing of this virus, it is completely unfamiliar, and I am afraid it will be difficult to make too much progress in a short period of time." ”

Mu Chen also frowned, the virus is still a major problem that plagues all mankind, the most outrageous thing about this thing is that it will evolve and mutate on its own, and every time it appears, it will be different from before, and it cannot be completely eliminated at all, and it can only be treated with vaccines or targeted drugs.

"Then gather the medical personnel in the interstellar refugees and see if they have any information about this virus, but be sure to keep it confidential and don't disclose the news to the public." Mu Chen cautiously reminded.

Uncle Liu immediately reacted to Mu Chen's meaning, this is anyway, the people know that the virus is from aliens, and it will cause a series of problems.

There are some people in the Earth Federation who oppose the admission of interstellar refugees, and Mu Chen has received a lot of protest messages in this regard, they are worried about the security problems and other negative effects brought by interstellar refugees, including the disaster of the alien virus.

Unfortunately, this happened anyway, and it's getting worse.

At this time, if the source of infection is directed to the aliens, I am afraid that those who oppose the reception of interstellar refugees will explode into a greater resistance.

Mu Chen's greatest concern is this situation, which will inevitably provoke contradictions between earthlings and aliens, and also means that the friendly relationship that was finally reached before will be in danger of breaking.

On the one hand, the reception of interstellar refugees is out of the spirit of humanitarianism, giving these poor people a place to stay, so as to show the demeanor and responsibility of the great power of the Earth Federation.

On the other hand, it can also help the power of interstellar refugees to further develop these habitable planets in the solar system, and replenish the human resources that are most lacking in all walks of life.

And many of these interstellar refugees carry the most advanced scientific and technological achievements of their own race, which also greatly promotes the technological progress of the Earth Federation.

It can be said that the strength of the Earth Federation today is inseparable from the support of these aliens, and many of the technological life that the earthlings now enjoy are imported from the aliens.

Mu Chen intends to shape the Earth Federation into a pure land where multiple races can coexist peacefully, and only in this way can the advanced technology of the aliens be better absorbed, which is the same as the talent introduction plan of the United States after World War II.

But the opinion of the people is also particularly important, although Mu Chen is the head of the federation, his prestige and influence are very great, but it is not good to make a statement on this kind of matter.

Most of the interstellar refugees in the solar system are still very disciplined, but it is not excluded that there are some miscellaneous scum, and it is reasonable that there are some opposing voices among earthlings, and many of them are victims.

"Mu Chen, this matter needs to be handled properly, otherwise it will have a very serious negative impact on the Federation and you personally." Uncle Liu reminded.

"I don't understand, I've already sent the Kantari into the criminal investigation department to try to improve the current law and order, but I didn't expect this to happen." Mu Chen said with annoyance.

The alien virus must be dealt with in a timely manner, otherwise it will be a terrible disaster if it spreads, and it may even find a horrific ending like Resident Evil.

In the process of coping, we should also pay attention to the opinions and attitudes of the people, after all, the solar system does not belong only to the federal government, but to every earthling.

Under the command of Mu Chen, the emergency response team was quickly formed, all major hospitals were open to the public free of charge, and the production line of medical equipment was also running at full capacity, increasing the production capacity of high-level medical cabins in case of emergency.

The federal government has also issued a notice to the public, asking them to avoid outdoor activities as much as possible, go to less or not go to crowded areas, wear masks when going out, and use drones to deliver anti-epidemic supplies to every household.

At present, the number of sick people is not large, and 4,000 patients are isolated and lying in state-of-the-art medical cabins to ensure their lives to the greatest extent.

The anti-epidemic measures formulated by the Earth Federation are very effective, and the people are relatively suitable, except for special positions such as the medical industry, most people have chosen to work from home, with the help of Skynet, but they have not been affected much.

But there were also some bad voices coming out, and some people on the Skynet forum began to openly boycott the interstellar refugees, accusing them of carrying the virus into the solar system and causing the epidemic.

There are also many proponents of the conspiracy theory who believe that this is a tactic by interstellar refugees to invade the solar system and deliberately spread the virus in an attempt to overthrow the regime of the Earth Federation.

Although such voices are in the minority, it has to be said that there are already some affected people, and there are also people on Skynet who have organized to protest to the federal headquarters, demanding that the Earth Federation expel all aliens.

Mu Chen looked at the content of these popular protests, and the expression on his face was a little bitter.

"Hey, this matter can't be concealed in the end, even if the people don't have evidence, but just this speculation makes us very passive."

Uncle Liu also sighed: "There is no way, there is an epidemic, and the hostile people will contact these interstellar refugees as soon as possible, at least they are relatively restrained now, but we have to take some measures." ”

"yes...... In general, the people still support our work and understand why they accept these aliens, but I am afraid that if the epidemic continues to spread, there will be more and more opposition. ”

Mu Chen frowned deeply, and finally made a decision: "Uncle Liu, arrange to organize a Skynet press conference and invite all the people to watch it, and I will personally attend at that time to answer the people's questions." ”

"But in this way, it is likely to deal a big blow to your approval ratings." Uncle Liu persuaded.

"Needless to say, I've already decided!" Mu Chen said solemnly.
