Chapter 335: The Eve of Exploration
Even though Hunter is a general and is known to the people here, he has to undergo strict document checks and iris scans before entering the glass greenhouse before he can be allowed to enter the greenhouse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
From the outside, the building is already very large, but when you walk into it and look around, you will find that you feel more small inside the building than it looks from the outside.
"Your Excellency, General."
Seeing Hunter walk in, the officer waiting next to him hurriedly stepped forward.
"How's the preparation going?"
In fact, the question of the selection of candidates has been discussed for a long time before the meeting is convened and the president's order is obtained, and as long as the order is given, the personnel who have been specially trained these days can immediately rush here.
"All three teams are here, and now await your orders."
"Let's let Team A go first, and the other two teams will wait for orders."
"Yes."
"Let the people from Team A come over first, I'm going to see them for myself."
"Okay, General, I'll arrange it right away."
The temperature in the glass greenhouse was constant at 23 degrees Celsius, and there were a large number of people who came and went, including soldiers, professors and doctors, and a large number of various instruments and makeshift laboratories were built inside, and there were always nearly 500 people working on the project.
The members of Team A quickly received the order and came to Hunter, and all seven members of Team A standing in front of him, both men and women, all wore field uniforms, except for three of them, with serious expressions and looked like soldiers, and the other four stared at Hunter himself with different expressions.
Among the seven people, three are indeed soldiers, all of them are elites selected from the Delta Special Forces, all of them have at least five years of military experience, and they have all been stained with enemy blood on their hands, and they have performed many arduous tasks and returned safely.
However, of course, the exploration team cannot be all soldiers, these three people only serve as the security of the team, and will not use force when it is not necessary. And the rest of the team, the brunt of the brunt is a man with sunken eye sockets, as if he has not woken up, in Hunter's information, he is 37 years old, divorced once, has had three children, graduated from Stanford University's Department of Psychology, this is nothing, the problem is that this guy actually joined the army after graduation, and finally even entered the Navy SEALs.
If it were all about that, he wouldn't have won Hunt's favor. The point is that this guy has always had a good evaluation in the squad, as a graduate of the Department of Psychology, he performed well on the battlefield in the Middle East, solved the battlefield syndrome of many soldiers, and temporarily served as a psychiatrist.
This is the focus of Hunter's attention, which has both the good qualities of excellent special soldiers and strong psychological qualities, which is of great significance for stabilizing an exploration team that goes deep into another world.
Nathan Babs.
Hunter nodded slightly, drawing a tick behind his name.
Next to Babs is a young black woman, 31 years old, a biologist who likes to travel around the world, not only in terms of professional knowledge, but also in the ability to survive in the face of harsh environments, and is also an indispensable professional talent in the exploration team.
Bletz Aurora.
The other two are a male, a geologist Riddrich, and a female, a zoologist Betty Clara. All of them received half a month of intensive survival training and mission instructions to make sure that no one had messed up without knowing anything.
It was only half a month of intensive training, which was not enough to teach these doctors to know the discipline and requirements of soldiers, but fortunately, they finally knew that there was a general of the Federation in front of them, and they did not speak and waited for him to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since you have chosen this place, it means that you have signed the relevant top-secret documents and agreed to the requirements put forward by the government, so I won't say anything, I only have a few requirements for you, abide by the regulations, keep it strictly confidential, and ensure your own safety, okay, that's all I have to say, do you have any questions?"
"I have a question, Your Excellency."
Babs, who suddenly spoke, attracted the attention of the people around him.
"You say." Hunter was not surprised, and said very calmly.
"Based on the top-secret documents we signed earlier, I see that in addition to the confidentiality requirements, there is also a reward for this mission, right?"
Babs still had that unawakened expression: "I just want to know, is this true?" ”
"There is no need for the military to deceive everyone in this kind of thing."
Heng nodded: "After the completion of this exploration mission, no matter what the result is, everyone who participates can get a reward of 500,000 US dollars." ”
500,000 US dollars, this is not a small amount, not to mention Babs, who now has an annual income of only more than 30,000 US dollars, even for Nicky and Clara, who have an annual income of 150,000 US dollars, this is a very considerable amount.
"Still have questions?" Hunter asked.
"Then there won't be."
It seems that the reward of more than half a million dollars has finally lifted Babs's spirits a lot.
"Okay, if there is no doubt, everyone should go back and rest first, and tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, the mission will officially begin."
Looking at his watch, Hunt gave a time.
All of them had no doubts, and they went back to their respective paths to rest and wait for the extremely dangerous quest to begin tomorrow morning.
Hunter watched the crowd leave, and did not linger any longer, and quickly walked out.
No one noticed that on the steel beams of the glass greenhouse, an inconspicuous fly, shining green, remained motionless above everyone until Hunter left, and then slowly took off and left along the ventilation duct.

……
Los Angeles, 27th Floor, Albert Biotech Corporate Building.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"It's incredible......"
Albert stood outside the laboratory window, staring at the subjects of the experiments within, with an expression of amazement.
"It seems that the experiment was very successful."
Lu Yuan stood beside Albert with his hands in his hands, and there was no expression of amazement on his face at all, as if the success of the experiment was a matter of course for him.
And it really is a matter of course.
In the laboratory, the experimenter wearing the mechanical prosthesis excitedly opened the mechanical five fingers on the mechanical prosthesis, easily picked up the fruits placed on the table, and picked up smaller and smaller items one by one according to the instructions, and even the last grain of rice, he could smoothly hold it with his index finger and thumb.
"Boss, are you planning to build this as another main product of our company?"
Previously, Lu Yuan had given Albert a lot of biopharmaceutical information, so that Albert enterprises have successfully "imitated" several effective drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, and now they have entered the stage of clinical verification, it is foreseeable that once these drugs have passed the FDA review and listing, they will at least bring a market of nearly 100 billion US dollars to Albert and more than 10 billion profits. And their cost is basically insignificant compared to the cost of other companies that can move more than billions of dollars.
And at the moment, this mechanical prosthetic brought by Lu Yuan is technically incredible.
There are six types of prostheses in the world today, the first is a decorative prosthesis, which is mainly used to compensate for the difference in the appearance of amputees and maintain balance. The second type is the tool hand, which installs various household utensils to assist the amputee. The third kind of traction-type mechanical prosthesis, relying on the user's coordinated action to drive the traction rope to manipulate the prosthesis, the structure is simple and easy to master, and the price is low and is widely used.
The fourth type of prosthesis is an electric prosthesis, which relies on a small electric drive system to complete the predetermined action, which can only basically meet the user's self-care.
The fifth type of voice-activated prosthesis uses human voice language to control signals and produces many movements, but is easily affected by the environment.
The sixth type of myoelectric prosthesis is an externally dynamic prosthesis directly innervated by the cerebral nerves, and the electromyography generated by the contraction of the muscles innervated by the cerebral nerves is transmitted to the surface of the skin, and then interpreted by the control system to drive a micro-motor to produce action.
The sixth type of myoelectric prosthetic is the most high-end prosthetic, and it is also the direction of future development. The mechanical prosthetic in front of Albert's eyes is extremely sophisticated, and it is completely incomparable to modern prosthetics in precision mechanics and microelectronics, materials science and physiological medicine, and can even allow users to use it as they wish.
