Chapter 45: RNA Viruses
"Haluha, the Germanic race can be defeated, but they are never afraid of death!" I don't know why, maybe it's the claustrophobia of the deep sea that made William, who has always been calm, even roar at the top of his throat, "Long live Germany!" ”
"Ahem~" also seemed to feel that he was a little out of shape, William coughed a few times in embarrassment, in order to reduce the communication load, the submarine and the aircraft carrier can only transmit sound and data information, so everyone is also a little curious, this old man is now also an old face flushed, "It's pitch black, except for the range of my phosphorus fire searchlight, nothing else, wait, I saw a few jellyfish, it's so beautiful, But it is said that these little creatures can kill thirty people in just one second."
"Seven thousand meters, pause, Dr. William," it was still the captain of the submarine, "please report to the various staffs, and I will judge whether the submarine is still capable of diving to the last five hundred meters." ”
"Very good," after about two or three minutes, I received a reply from William, obviously, here it is, and within the boundaries of the circled area, the degree of signal interference is already very high, "I like you very much, young man, of course, please don't get me wrong, I'm talking about your character, which is very in line with the rigor of our Germanic people, and everything should be done like this, if you have a chance, I will treat you to a German dinner!" ”
"The data has been received, and after analysis, everything is normal, Dr. William, you are ready to start your deep-sea journey, but to be on the safe side, your submarine will automatically activate the stage of afloat in an hour."
"I know what I said, thank you, young man! God, this is the first time I've been to the bottom of the ocean this deep, trust me, my friends, you're going to love it, it's full of creatures I haven't seen before, but," he said, William grumbled with a squeaky noise, "There's so much seaweed here, damn it, I should have thought about it, but luckily I have a mechanical arm, and of course, this time, I won't fall again, I swear." ”

"It seems that the Later Tang Empire still has some dry goods," on the deck of the American Empire's Eagle nuclear submarine, a soldier dressed in the uniform of a colonel of the American Imperial Navy said with a little admiration, "Quietly master the skills of deep-sea diving." ”
"It's normal, Captain Hans," a familiar voice sounded next to him, it was the general of the Masonic mutant legion, MacArthur, "The Later Tang Dynasty people inherited the cultural tolerance of the first Tang Dynasty, and their ability to deconstruct and reorganize science and technology is inferior to even us in the United States, so after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the crazy harvesting of some techniques in the Later Tang Dynasty, I know that the Tao of the Late Tang Dynasty has today, but let's talk about business, for example, the reason why you asked me to come here, I don't think it's to see the scenery. ”
"It's just a coincidence," the captain of the aircraft carrier named Hans straightened his military hat, "it just so happens that the Tang Empire has started their mission today, to explore the seabed, and to find the center of the earthquake, who let them grab that somewhat stupid German scientist?" We started our work shortly after the UN summit, so let's go, General Arthur, Dr. Ain is still waiting for you in the lab on the ground floor. ”
"It's good," MacArthur, who was following Hans, glanced at the aircraft carriers of the Later Tang Empire from a distance, and he always had a strange feeling in his heart.
"Ding!"
After the elevator door opened, MacArthur and Hans came to the experimental base of the Eagle, which is the safest and quietest central area, in fact, for the needs of the experiment, almost the entire central layer belongs to the experimental base, so in a sense, the Eagle is not a combat aircraft carrier, but closer to a huge mobile sea laboratory, and the country with such a large amount of money in the entire world seems to be the only American Empire, there are many people in the experimental base, and everyone is doing their own thing, even if the place here is big enough, it is still a personal feeling of busyness and depression.
"Good evening, General Mack!" In a highly isolated laboratory in the experimental base, a man about fifty years old with curly hair greeted MacArthur, "You're here so quickly." ”
"It's afternoon, Dr. Ain," Mike and Hans sanitized the lab before going inside, for the safety of the lab, "I wonder if there's something new about you calling me over so anxiously?" ”
"If not, would I be looking for you?" Under the guidance of their assistants, MacArthur and Hans put on isolation suits and put on the highest specifications of gas masks, and then they really entered the laboratory.
Since the United Nations summit, the countries that are qualified to participate in the world have basically been given their own tasks, and the task of the American Empire is to study the proposition that the high concentration of Gaia energy proposed by their own biologist Ain Hogman cannot be used, but can increase the probability of human mutation, and the highest concentration of Gaia energy in nature is only here, so the American Empire will drive its precious laboratory aircraft carrier Eagle here, Of course, there is an element of striving for the future of mankind in the American Empire's efforts, but it is more of their own selfishness.
Whether you want to admit it or not, all the countries in the world know that the American Empire is the first in the world in the research of mutant gene mutations, and naturally, with this first throne, something must be done, for example, the greatest interest of the American Empire is how to artificially create mutants, that is, genetic controllable mutations.
And in this regard, they do have a lot of achievements, although a large part of them are not visible, using mutants to do experiments, if you say it, it will give other countries and their own citizens enough excuses to oppose themselves.
Therefore, after Ain Hogman, who can be said to be the most authoritative in this regional study, put forward that argument, the Freemasons of the American Empire immediately made a decision and fully supported this research, if it really succeeded, then the time for the American Empire to unify the world is not far off, after all, if a country has all mutants, their advantages in any aspect will be incomparable, this point does not need to be demonstrated.
"My hypothesis has been confirmed," a large and transparent pool with many instruments attached to the water tank roamed several strange-looking creatures, "these are low-level creatures that I have captured from the bottom of the sea, after living in the simulated pressure submarine tank for several days, they have all undergone varying degrees of change, some good and some bad, good like this jellyfish, it has mutated into tentacles like an octopus, and has gained the ability to move freely, with its toxins to take the initiative to attack, no creature can beat it, But it's even worse," said Ain, gesturing to another pool, "It's all mutated and failed, and if we don't lose it, these things will die!" ”
"The genes of low-level creatures are unstable, and the mutations are normal, have any higher-level creatures done experiments?" MacArthur floated on the transparent glass with one hand, "For example, mammals, for example, people, you know, we have thirty-eight states that have death row prisoners, and if the New York bill passes, there will be thirty-nine." ”
"New York wants to legislate to increase the death penalty?"
"It's just an idea, and it's very difficult to get through," MacArthur sighed, "There are too many criminals in that city, and sometimes I really envy the concept of the post-Tang people, killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, and they don't need the government to do anything, and whoever dares to ask for the abolition of the death penalty is afraid that the first one will be killed, a bunch of shit!" These bullshit human rights activists should have sent them all to concentration camps. ”
Ain shrugged, "High-level creatures can't do it, at least not now, I've tried a few people, but in the end it didn't work, but I found a very strange virus." ”
"Virus?" When it comes to the virus, MacArthur's expression is a little different, obviously, this is what the subordinates of the first country in the biotechnology world should look like, because they know that the harm of that thing sometimes exceeds that of the atomic bomb, just like many years ago they accidentally leaked a virus called SARS, which almost caused many countries, including themselves, to play directly, fortunately, they want to be stable They are developed simultaneously with the virus and the antidote, "What kind?" What are the habits? What are the symptoms? ”
"RNA virus," Ain led Mike to another area, "My people have compared the structure of this virus with the data, it is a brand new virus, but in my opinion, this virus looks very similar to the rabies virus, at least it is also a close relative, and it can be transmitted by air, water, and body fluids in all the ways you know the Tao, provided that there must be Gaia energy in these media, and without Gaia energy, it will basically die immediately, so I speculate, This virus should be a very ancient virus, and it is because of this time that the Gaia energy of the World Continent has changed, and it will reappear above the World Continent. ”
