Chapter 434: Idiot!
"My findings serve two purposes."
In Professor Worthington's laboratory, he faced the U.S. Secretary of Defense and the White House chief of staff who came in a hurry, and said confidently: "The first function is to verify who is infected with the deadly virus." ”
"Zombies don't attack people infected with deadly viruses, which shows one thing, and that's that people infected with deadly viruses have a chance to become zombies, and that before they become zombies, their bodies have undergone certain changes that we haven't noticed yet."
"But zombies can detect this change, and they will treat those infected with the deadly virus as their own kind. For some reason, zombies don't attack their own kind, just like cancer cells don't infect cancer cells. ”
"We can send all the people who may be infected with the deadly virus to the zombies and let them help us check, and determine the list of people infected with the deadly virus in advance, so as to facilitate the response to the large-scale outbreak in the future."
Worthington, who offered the role, felt like he was saving the world, and he stopped as he waited for encouraging glances and applause, even cheers.
So far, no one in the world has been able to discover a way to identify a person infected with the deadly virus, but he did, isn't it worth cheering?
But whether it is the US Secretary of Defense or the White House Chief of Staff, they all look at Professor Worthington like idiots.
How many drug addicts are there in the United States?
That's a huge number, and how many of them are addicts who use the deadly virus?
No one can determine this number, not the Department of Defense, not the Department of Homeland Security, not the CIA and the FBI, not even the legendary and most mysterious intelligence agency, the NSA.
The full name of the NSA is the National Security Agency, which looks very similar to the name of the Department of Homeland Security, but in fact it is completely different, and is known as the most mysterious intelligence agency in the world.
How mysterious is it?
Former CIA senior female agent Fran only knows about the existence of this department and knows who the person in charge of the disclosure is, as for the rest, she doesn't know anything.
But the NSA's intelligence system is the most powerful of all intelligence organizations in the world.
Even if they can't confirm something, how can others be sure?
Is it possible to let all the people who may be addicted to drugs go to the zombies and shake them out?
Not to mention how many zombies are needed to verify all the deadly virus infections in the remaining time, it is an unrealistic idea to call tens of millions of people to cooperate with the experiment.
The Minister of Defense is in a very bad mood, and he is also a little confused, is there no one in the White House? How could such an idiot be found to be in charge of such an important research?
"Professor Worthington, please continue."
This sentence was said by the chief of staff of the White House, and he was also in a bad mood at this time, because Worthington was really an idiot, but Worthington was the person he chose.
Professor Worthington did not wait for the applause and cheers, and continued with some unhappiness: "The second effect of my discovery is that it can prevent the world from suffering from a zombie crisis. ”
After emphasizing once again that this was his discovery, Professor Worthington paused, and sure enough, the Secretary of Defense and the White House Chief of Staff both sat up straight and looked at him expectantly.
Professor Worthington said with satisfaction: "As long as we can infect people all over the world with the deadly virus, then even if the previous batch of deadly virus infections become zombies, we will not suffer any losses." ”
As soon as this assertion came out, it was simply earth-shattering.
The Secretary of Defense slapped the table on the spot, and then angrily rebuked: "Worthington, are you crazy? ”
Although the Minister of Defense does not understand the idiom of drinking water to quench thirst, nor does he understand the proverb of tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, he also knows the same truth.
"Do you want to destroy the whole world?"
Even the White House chief of staff, who chose Professor Worthington, was shocked at this time, and of course angry, he really couldn't understand why Professor Worthington was able to say such an outrageous plan.
Professor Worthington's anticipation of the reaction of the Secretary of Defense and the White House Chief of Staff, and even the rest of the room, gave him the feeling that everyone in the world was drunk and sober.
"I'm not crazy, you don't understand."
Professor Worthington completely ignored the anger of the Secretary of Defense and others, and instead said eloquently: "When smallpox first appeared, we didn't know anything about it, and the whole world was helpless in the face of infected people. Of course, the consequences of both are actually the same, and both can destroy humanity. ”
"However, we have succeeded in eradicating smallpox and even creating a vaccine so that no one can get smallpox."
As he spoke, Worthington's voice grew louder and louder.
"We are in the same situation as we did with smallpox, we don't know anything about the deadly virus and we don't know how to treat it. And we don't have enough time to understand it, to figure out how to treat it, let alone create a vaccine. ”
"What exactly are we missing? Technology? Knowledge of virology? Special equipment? ”
"Actually, we don't lack any of those, the only thing we lack is time."
Worthington's emotions grew heightened as he spoke to the world the truth that only he understood.
He's going to wake up the world.
"The outbreak of the deadly virus is six months, and during that six-month period, the infected people of the deadly virus will only become somewhat weakened over time, which means that they will not die."
"Although after six months, people infected with the deadly virus will become zombies, or die outright. However, we were given six months, and now that we have the time we have left, I am confident that I will be able to work out a cure for the deadly virus. ”
Look at the people who are 'shocked' in front of you, including the most powerful figures such as the US Secretary of Defense and the White House Chief of Staff, and soon, the US president in the White House will also be shocked by himself.
Worthington had a very strong sense of satisfaction, a satisfaction that was completely different from the satisfaction that was so tasteless after a shiver.
It's long-lasting, and the satisfaction can last for many years at a time.
That's why he became a scientist.
"Of course."
Professor Worthington's voice suddenly changed to sadness, and he felt that he had to show compassion at this time, saying, "We will lose millions of people because they will die or become zombies because of the deadly virus. But I saved more than 7 billion people, and I saved the world. ”
"Compared to the whole world, the sacrifice of millions of people is completely worth it, and they will be remembered by history."
After saying the last sentence, Worthington added in his heart: Just like me, I will be remembered by history, the difference is that no one will remember their names, but everyone will remember my name.
The U.S. Secretary of Defense and the White House Chief of Staff, as well as the rest of the room, were indeed shocked by Professor Worthington, and they really didn't know what to say at this time.
After a while, the Secretary of Defense and the White House Chief of Staff looked at each other, and then the White House Chief of Staff said, "Professor Worthington, I hope you can continue your research, and we need to report on this issue." ”
Worthington nodded very reservedly and said, "You can also call me Worthington directly." ”
With that, Worthington went back to his lab and began figuring out how to cure the deadly virus.
The Secretary of Defense, who remained in the conference room, said to the White House chief of staff: "Control him first, I am afraid that a crazy scientist like him will spread a deadly virus to fulfill his ambitions without our consent." ”
The White House chief of staff had no opinion at all, and he didn't care that Worthington was his person, and said: "Then what should we do now, do we want to disclose this information to Wen Ming?" I don't think he would have come up with such a crazy idea. ”
"I suggest telling him that you can ask Mr. President's opinion," the defense minister said. ”
Poor Worthington had no idea what he was missing out on and what he was going to get.
