Chapter 187: Technological Superiority
"Sam, are they really here?" Dr. Neville looked at his dog with a complicated expression, Sam had spent all these years with him, and it was the only thought his daughter had left for him.
In the past few years of difficult life, he has watched Sam go from a puppy who can only bark to a partner who follows him out every day. In this silent world, he can only trust Sam.
"Woo...... Sam looked at him with his own innocent eyes, then bit his clothes and slowly dragged him to the door. Shen Chao outside the door was carrying various materials.
The clever sheepdog barked three times at the three people who were busy working nearby, then turned to look at Dr. Neville. When Dr. Neville saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed involuntarily.
It's been too long, he's not seen the same kind for too long. In this city full of dangers, he and Sam have spent so much time He leaned down and hugged Sam, since these three people are not hallucinations, then there is no need for them to lie to themselves, their explanations are weird, but they are very convincing.
The thought of losing Sam due to carelessness in the movie made him cry. For the past few years, Sam has been the only living creature by his side, and his only friend and concern. I must not lose Sam.
The dog, who was being hugged by him, licked Dr. Neville's face as if he didn't understand why he was suddenly hugged. That's how Dr. Neville believed that Shen Chao was not his hallucination.
Soon. Shen Chao and the others completed the preparation of the periphery. In the following hour, they were all preparing lunch, and although Shen Chao and the ingredients they brought were not many, they were enough to eat here for a few days. They hadn't eaten breakfast in order to come over as soon as possible. So the lunch will naturally be increased.
As usual, this lunch was made by Shen Chao and Custer. Their cooking skills are quite reliable. It's not like Alice made something, it's barely edible.
Shen Chao and Custer's cooperation in this regard is no less than their tacit understanding in stealth combat, and they quickly made a pot of authentic pork rib soup and a few main dishes with a few fresh ingredients they brought.
Alice, as usual, after they had cooked their meal. Responsible for bringing the food to the table. She also knows that she can't do anything in the kitchen herself, so she is also happy to enjoy the results of the two of them directly every time she cooks a meal.
"Let's eat first, Doctor. You have a lot of time to think about these questions. But now, you need to replenish your energy. Alice brought the food to the table and persuaded Dr. Neville next to her.
Dr. Neville now seemed normal, not as if he had been a fantasy like he had been. The reason why she is willing to do this is because she has had a similar experience once.
Ordinary people can't understand the shock of people like them when they find out that they are fictional characters. The shock of that worldview, as well as the doubt about oneself, is very uncomfortable.
"What do you all do?" I mean, what are you crossing for? Dr. Neville asked suddenly. There was still a little confusion on his face, but there was no trace of the sluggishness he had earlier.
"We travel for different purposes, Doctor. For me as soon as I am concerned. I started joining with the intention of revenge. Alice gritted her teeth and said, her wish is currently relatively complete in the trio.
But even so, she often recalls the crimes Ambrera committed against her and countless others. This hatred was all she was motivated to join at the beginning.
"Revenge isn't enough to justify what you wanted, baby. I remember your exact words: kick the ass of all Ambrera's bastards! Shen Chao suddenly appeared at the door of the restaurant, and while he joked, he slowly put a large pot of bone broth on the table. …,
"yes, that's what I said. This is the last course, is it enough time to cook? Alice changed the subject. Looking at the broth that Shen Chao brought over, she came over and smelled it and asked, her food taste has long been cultivated.
"Can you help me heal the infected here?" The movie doesn't mention the results of the final vaccine......" Dr. Neville asked after seeing Shen Chao. He had been thinking about what questions to ask, and there were so many questions in his head that needed to be clarified.
And he recalled the movie he had just watched, which didn't seem to mention whether the vaccine he developed had finally achieved its purpose, as a scientist, before seeing the actual results. He was not sure about the final result.
"Of course you can, even if your vaccine doesn't work. I am also sure that with Starlink's technology, it is enough to develop a corresponding vaccine in a short period of time to completely eradicate the KV virus. Shen Chao replied as a matter of course.
Starlink's medical technology is very advanced, and Dr. Neville can complete the work that only takes a team of Starlink's medical experts a few weeks to complete on his own. He had done a lot of research before he came.
Of course, that's not to say that Dr. Neville's expertise is inadequate. It's that Starlink's tools and means in disease control and genetic modification are really too strong than Dr. Neville.
With the same difficulty and the same workload, Starlink's equipment can allow medical staff and biologists to complete the development of vaccines hundreds of times more efficiently.
He has also consulted Starlink's public medical history. As a result, in the long list of germs of Starlink, there is really a man-made virus very similar to the KV virus that has been recorded.
Long before the establishment of the Star Link in the Mass Effect world, in the early days of the Space Race on Earth, there was something very similar to the current Star Link Enhancer.
At that time, it was the beginning of the 22nd century, and the human beings there had not yet discovered the ruins of Protéch on Mars, although the human beings on Earth had entered the early interstellar age, but both the number of spaceships and the technical level were still very backward. Humans without zero elements are not yet able to enter the speed of light.
All the great powers on the earth are engaged in a space race in the solar system, and the most competitive country, which is also the initiator of the later Star Alliance, China, faintly overtook the United States in military competition.
In order to regain their competitive advantage, the military of the United States at that time, and later the member countries of Starlink, North America, embarked on a bold biochemical program.
The purpose of the project was very simple, the military of the United States, which was still an independent country at the time, wanted to use the molecular sequence arrangement technology that had been greatly developed, and use biochemical modification to create super soldiers whose body elements far surpassed ordinary people.
The team they recruited embarked on a research project to create a specially crafted virus using the technology of guò macromolecular arrangement, implant it into the human body, and then modify the body's endocrine and immune systems.
Theoretically, after a small increase in the efficiency of these two systems, the actual yàn body should have a large overall system improvement in a short period of time. Becoming strong, fast, and theoretically, with guò this method, they can create the super soldiers that the military wants to have.
However, this technology was still a little too difficult to achieve for the technical conditions at that time. Especially if the goal is too high. In the early days, the requirement was to increase the comprehensive system of the real yàn body by a factor of 23!
Even the Starlink Enhancer, which has matured a long time ago, can't do this. And in the end, it turns out that too radical technical requirements can lead to serious consequences.
In the early days of the real yàn, the real yàn of the animal was not very smooth, and the real yàn animals that used the real yàn model of the enhancer had various side effects, but only partially fulfilled the design expectations.
However, under the pressure of the military, the real yàn group soon began human trials, and so, tragedy struck. According to the records, the real yàn at that time was carried out on a near-Earth military space station. …,
Although the military vigorously urged the results, the insurance measures at that time were still relatively complete. Three volunteers were injected with an immature modifier on a heavily defended military space station.
At first, it was very normal, and the endocrine system of the three volunteers was greatly strengthened in just 2 weeks, and the immune system was much stronger than the initial design target. The comprehensive system for everyone has been significantly strengthened.
However, such a good number does not bring much positive results. Because although the ability of the endocrine system and immune system of the modified person has become unprecedentedly strong, it has also slowly brought about great negative effects.
Soon, the modified volunteers experienced a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, starting with dizziness and nausea, and after a month, they began to be sensitive to light.
photophobia, rapid heartbeat, and increased blood pressure...... The symptoms occurred sequentially within a few days, and soon one volunteer died on the emergency table.
In accordance with secrecy procedures, the actual yàn personnel wrapped his body and prepared to transport it back to Earth in a spaceship. But just as the personnel were preparing to return his body to Earth, a miracle, or nightmare, occurred.
The volunteer, who had been diagnosed with clinical death, suddenly opened his eyes and his heartbeat began to resume. A cheerful person leaned over and was bitten to death by the "resurrected" volunteer.
In the following hours, as in many horror movies, several volunteers who had been alienated by the virus appeared in a similar situation, with more than a dozen real people being attacked by them, and the others successfully evacuated to the ground through guò escape pods.
Then there is the cliché story of the standard heavily armed quarantine team boarding the ship to clean up the infected people, but unlike the biochemical world and this world, the spread of the virus has been successfully controlled.
All infected personnel were killed, files were sealed, and it was not until decades later, after the formation of Starlink, that the incident was unearthed.
After the truth was discovered, Starlink did not try to hide it, but took the matter as a warning bell and wrote it into Starlink's compulsory education textbook. Since then, Starlink has been cautious in its technological developments.
Starlink's later booster can be said to be an extension of this plan. It's just that the later Starlink-related technology matured, and it also changed the design ideas and target standards for intervening in the virus.
In the end, after 20 years of research and development and a large number of clinical trials, the Starlink enhancer that has been used to this day was successfully launched. (To be continued......)
