Chapter 217 Stripping Military Power

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Hang's department finally returned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was two days later than the original time of return, of course, this is also very understandable, after all, the number of survivors escorted by Chuhang exceeded two thousand. The vehicles transporting the survivors are also very limited, and some of the survivors still need to walk to Xuejiajie.

Chu Hang had just arrived at the Frontier Stone Fort, and after completing the handover of the survivors with the person in charge of the Frontier Stone Fort, he immediately planned to leave for the Xue Family Realm.

But just when Chu Hang was about to clear the customs, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the customs.

"Company Commander Chu, I'm sorry, you can't clear the customs for the time being!"

"Why!" Chu Hang was worried about whether Du Yun's deputy had confessed himself to Luo Ao all the way, so Chu Hang, who had just returned to the Xue family realm, wanted to do most at this time was to connect with Luo Ao.

Although we see the horrific zombie army in Raccoon City, the original purpose of Umbrella Corporation's research on the T virus is not to create zombies or directly spread the T virus, but to develop biological weapons (B.O.W) using the T virus and try to strengthen human genes (creating a new class of hominid species). These creatures include Cerberus (a generation of dogs), Neptune (a shark of a generation), Hunters, Lickers, Tyrants, Pursuers who parasitize Nemesis, Walking Plants (Ivy), and more.

Why do we need to use viruses in the development of biological weapons? In fact, the core part of these development projects is genetic recombination. This is not about regrouping the chromosomes like hybridization, but about changing the chromosomes themselves. In contrast, cloning technology, which was hyped up at the end of the 20th century, is really just an entry-level technology.

As mentioned earlier, mild viruses integrate their own genetic material into the chromosomes of the host cell and live in symbiosis for long periods of time. During this symbiosis period, it is clear that the genotype of the host cell is altered by the integration of the virus chromosomes, and we can see the results directly in the game: the impact of the T virus is enormous, and its change in the direction of the organism is exactly what the researchers need. The various biological weapons that have been successfully developed in the laboratory have also largely met expectations.

Decay and gluttony are both for the same reason: infection with the T-virus is thwarted by the body's immune system. White blood cells try to kill infected cells, often in a "dead end" manner, resulting in a large amount of necrotic tissue in the body. In order to repair the loss of tissues and restore the function of the immune system, a large amount of food is needed to provide materials and energy sources, which makes the infected person have an exuberant appetite.

As for drowsiness, it can only be thought to be the result of an infection in the brain, and although it is impossible to figure out the details, we just need to know that this is not normal.

It should be noted that under normal circumstances, the brain is protected by tissue isolation called the "blood-brain barrier" and does not come into contact with immune cells, so if the barrier is not damaged, the brain is likely to complete the mutation relatively intact. As a result, zombies are still able to walk upright and forage for food. (Antibodies can enter the brain, but they don't damage the cells.) This is just a side mention, if you are interested, you can look up the keywords "cellular immunity", "humoral immunity").

The biological weapons cultivated by the umbrella company are supposed to have been altered with the T virus from the stage of fertilized eggs (or early embryos), so they can avoid the interference of the immune system and the drag of pre-infection growth conditions, and obtain healthy and stable mutant organisms. Obviously, the fertilized eggs are not limited to one organism, and foreign genes can also be mixed as needed, which makes biological weapons diverse.

Everyone's physique is different. Before the Raccoon City crisis, most of the first victims were only exposed to small creatures carrying the virus in the sewers, and they were in good health, so they were able to maintain normal for a few days, during which they experienced symptoms such as itching (slight tissue necrosis) and bulimia. A person who has been attacked by zombies to the point of dying is different, his immunity is so weak that the virus can easily invade, and if the virus enters the bloodstream directly from the wound, it will spread to all parts of the body in a very short time, greatly speeding up the infection process.

The virus in Raccoon City spreads or breaks out on a large scale, mainly due to zombie attacks. Assuming that a zombie attacks an average of 1 person per hour, and the victim becomes a zombie after an average of two hours, then from the first zombie, there will be 3 zombies after two hours (in the case of very few zombies, someone may shoot them in the head, and it is also possible that the police will immediately dispatch after receiving the alarm and rush to the scene to kill the zombie), and there will be 9 zombies after four hours...... Twenty-four hours later, there were 531,441, and the official number was given as at least 100,000 deaths in Raccoon City.

It should be said that both are developed from the Ancestral Virus, T-Veronica was developed by Alexia of the Ashford family, and the development of T-Virus was created by James Marcus, and the main goal of the two is to maintain the successor virus in addition to inheriting the characteristics of the Ancestral Virus, and the infected object can also retain a certain IQ, so as to create a biochemical weapon with high aggression, high physical strength and high intelligence. T-Veronica is the product of genetic recombination between the progenitor virus and the queen ant, in order to form an ant colony-like social structure between the virus infected and improve the overall combat intelligence. When T-Veronica studied it, Alfred and Alexia injected the virus into their father, Alexander. But this turned out to be a failed experiment. Soon after being injected, Alexander lost all his mind due to his rapid evolution. In order to keep her sanity and her ability beyond ordinary people, Alexia injected herself with the virus and froze it, all in order to be able to successfully integrate her body with the virus. On the other hand, the T-virus was developed by Dr. Marcus on leeches. T-Virus can only mutate into a more intelligent bioweapon (such as those mutated animals) when infected at the fertilized egg stage.
