Volume III: Cyborg Rising. Tian Yuan Pharmaceutical Chapter 68: The Double Edge of Science and Technology

After everyone's views are summarized, it is natural to set action goals. There is only one achievable goal, and that is to obtain information about the four infected organisms as soon as possible, as detailed as possible. This goal is the absolute bottom line, and without some useful information about the source of infection, it is difficult to say how dangerous the rest of the trip will be.

After discussion, Lin Jianmao took over the job of talking to Wang Daoyuan by himself.

Lin Jian coughed twice pretendedly, and only when he saw that he had attracted Wang Daoyuan's attention did he speak: "Mr. Wang Daoyuan, I don't know whether to say something or not. ”

Wang Daoyuan raised his eyebrows, and replied playfully: "It's not appropriate to talk about it." ”

But Lin Jian seemed to be sure that Wang Daoyuan would not mind if he continued, and continued to ask without blushing or being embarrassed: "Well, since you agreed, then I will ask." Brother Wang, let's discuss, can you tell us about the situation of the hive. Let's just tell us about the general situation of those sources of infection and what infections we may encounter. I'm sure there are many people like me who, although we are the leaders of the power in the organization's internal information system, are ignorant of any of the things in this hive. ”

Wang Daoyuan sighed slightly: "Oh? Have you been so idle? Your dad didn't tell you about such a big thing as this first heir? ”

After the conversation just now, it can be seen that Wang Daoyuan really doesn't care much about this kind of verbal joke. Therefore, Lin Jian shook his head without a red heart and said: "That's an old man, he has a good eye." But seriously, I really don't know about the hive. ”

At this time, Wang Daoyuan glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you all need this?" ”

At this time, no one who has no funny mind will raise an objection. Seeing that everyone nodded one after another, like a chicken pecking rice, Wang Daoyuan smiled lightly and began to answer. (However, his face is inside the gas mask, and no one can see it.)

"The Hive Lab is a top-secret place to conduct research on four bizarre infectious organisms that alter the body structure of the recipient. The four infectious organisms are R5-virus, which is taken from the initials of revive, which means regeneration; Golems, a fungus that prefers to grow in dim, damp places; A parasite codenamed 'Beelzebub', and the blood vine we just encountered. ”

Wang Daoyuan paused for a moment and then said, "I will introduce them one by one, first of all, the R5-virus. Put simply, if you don't have an open wound that contaminates the fluids of an R5-virus infected body, then you won't be infected. None of the current R5-virus infects have escaped restraint, and each of their containment tanks is fully secure and independently powered. In the event of a loss of control, the containment tank will spew out ethanol and pure oxygen and incinerate until the infected body is completely incinerated. The infected organisms we have encountered so far are all infected staff and experimental animals, and none of them have out-of-control variants. ”

"The second is the puppet fungus, which is a very peculiar fungus. This fungus grows in dark and damp places. Normally a white, slightly yellowish mushroom, it releases a yellow gas with its own spores. After the animal inhales it, the spores will take root in the animal's lungs and begin to grow, eventually filling the respiratory tract, mouth, and nasal cavity, and then invade the host's brain to achieve the purpose of controlling the host. This infected body does not become infected by inhalation outside of the lungs. Once a person is found to have an infection in the lungs, it is necessary to immediately wash the lungs with special solutions and instruments, otherwise it cannot be treated. That's why I helped that lady out of her pain at that time. ”

"The third is the parasite, codenamed Beelzebub, which gradually changes the host's body structure over a period of three to eight days after entering the animal. During this period, the symptoms of the infected person are an increase in body temperature, an increase in food intake to two to eight times the normal amount of food, a large number of proteins with an anesthetic effect can be detected in body fluids and excretions, and there is often an itching sensation and constant scratching of the skin. Beelzebub's infection cannot be solved by a headshot, the reliable way to do this is to beat it with a gun until it is unable to move and then burn it. Generally speaking, this parasite cannot survive without the host, so although we are not in a position to burn the infected body at present, it is not unacceptable to use the method of staying away from the bypass after being disabled. After all, when we evacuate, the Red Queen will turn on the lab's self-destruct system. This parasite can only cause infection if it burrows into the host's flesh, so please be careful if you encounter it. The best thing to do is not to go near them. ”

"The fourth is the blood vine, which is a strange creature somewhere between an animal and a plant. Although it has roots, it can move in a small area, and can also use vines to actively hunt. Its vines have a strange structure, and some parts of them resemble biological muscles. And its black leaves have a chloroplast-like black plastid, which is three to five times more efficient at photosynthesis than ordinary plants. The reproduction of this plant is achieved by piercing the seeds of blood vine into the flesh and blood of the animal by the needle-like stamens, and then taking root and germinating in the animal's body. That's why we were so cautious with this thing just now. As for the treatment of the infected body of blood vine, please refer to the treatment plan of 'Beelzebub'. Since we're underground, we can't set fires, and we'll most likely need to clear the passages occupied by the bloodvines. In desperation, I had no choice but to retreat and use this ultra-high-pressure liquid nitrogen jet to deal with the blood vine. ”

Maybe it was a bit too much, Wang Daoyuan cleared his throat lightly before continuing: "That's basically all you can say, you should be able to figure out how to avoid infection according to the infection method I said." The simple summary is two points, when dealing with puppet bacteria, you must remember to wear a gas mask, and the other three infected bodies can not have physical contact as much as possible, it's as simple as that. ”

When Wang Daoyuan expounded the information on the four types of infections, everyone was thinking about how to protect themselves, but at this time, Old Man Qin Guohan opened his mouth. But when he asked, he directly frightened the reincarnations and the three captive plot characters.

"Why are you studying these strange things? Don't you know how dangerous they are? Why do you want to study something? When a weapon? ”

Wang Daoyuan only squinted slightly, but said in a non-hurried tone: "Oh? Old man, do you think it's very inappropriate to study these four things? ”

Seeing that Wang Daoyuan was still asking himself like this, Old Man Qin Guohan couldn't help but raise his voice: "Don't you know how dangerous things are?" Have you thought about human safety? Have you considered morality and ethics? ”

Wang Daoyuan glanced at Qin Lao playfully before continuing: "Is nuclear energy dangerous?" Although today's nuclear weapons cannot blow up the earth, they can plow the earth back and forth several times. But has humanity stopped studying it? And it didn't ......"

"Can that be the same? Nuclear energy will inevitably be the main energy source for mankind for a long time to come......"

"Oh? So how did you become so sure that studying these parasites would be of no benefit to humans? Science is a double-edged sword, what we should do is to use morality and humanity to strictly regulate the scientific research methods and use directions, and to use the system to strictly regulate and monitor the scientific research behavior of each researcher; Rather than subjectively judging whether a scientific research direction is evil or not. Science is a double-edged sword, and we cannot get carried away because of the benefits it brings, nor can we choke on food because of its dangers. Wasn't Vladimir's two-headed dog experiment also notorious back then? Isn't it also criticized by various ethicists, religious heads, moral representatives, public intellectuals and animal rights activists? Even in the end, he was threatened with his life. But did he do anything that hurt nature and reason, and the crime was not punishable? He's just experimenting with dogs and collecting data. The experimental data summarized by him and his team have provided a large amount of data for a series of experimental studies such as heart transplantation, and have made great contributions. How many of the people who stepped on him and their descendants directly or indirectly received his blessings. ”

"I ...... I ...... "Qin Lao I did twice but I didn't come out of anything, and finally complained angrily: "Then what do you say about this leak." ”

Wang Daoyuan's tone became even more playful: "Hehe, I have to ask your immediate family members, such as your brother." forcibly pressuring me to use drugs that have not been clinically tested at all; want to force me to experiment directly with living people to speed up the progress; Finally, infiltrate and storm the laboratory. You're now asking me why the lab leaked? Who do I ask? ”

"I ...... Emo Talk Club. ”
