Chapter 11: Pandora's Box
"At present, there are only three African countries that can influence our next move, but they cannot stop our action without starting a war. So you can just let it go, you don't need to worry too much, just pay attention to your personal safety, and don't have the time to act alone. Xue Yunchu said.
"Well, I understand this," Jiang Minghong thought for a moment and changed the subject, "After Grandrent comes out, how can I cooperate with him?" Or to avoid suspicion, not to contact him for the time being? ”
"In the latter case, there is nothing wrong with normal business dealings, but there should not be too many personal dealings. In addition, he asked him to sort out all the industrial and technical information he could grasp in his hands and send it to me. This requirement allows him to do it gradually while he does other things, allowing him to remain autonomous for the time being. Xue Yunchu asked Jiang Minghong to give this order, because it was not appropriate for him to propose it to the other party. After finishing speaking, Xue Yunchu cut off communication as usual, and then the two of them went about their own work.
"The second target we tracked had flown to N'Djamena, the capital of Chad, Africa, fifteen days earlier, but we lost track of him shortly after. This is due to the fact that the intelligence officers have encountered a group of opponents of comparable skill, and they are extremely numerous, and according to our identification, they should be composed of retired members of the special forces of various countries and employees of internationally renowned security companies. Their vigilance is not much different from the degree of protection they have for the president. The person who was protected was the Chinese who had had secret contact with the No. 2 target before, Jiang Minghong, chairman of the world-renowned company Huanglong Pharmaceutical Company. All the descriptions of this person are in file three. Intelligence officers could not get any closer, but could only monitor their movements from a distance. But in this case, the detailed location of the second target was quickly lost. ......" a man in a black suit was making a lengthy report.
The report had been going on for hours, and some of the people listening below had already yawned, not that they weren't interested, but that there was so much repetitive and useless information that it made them feel sleepy.
However, everyone still listened patiently to the report, and who knows if it will reveal some useful information. In order to ensure that important information is not overlooked by the people below, they ask for all the original information.
"What do you guys think?" The mysterious middle-aged man has been frequently summoning his subordinates in the recent period, and at this time, the personnel who have been planted in the intelligence services of other countries have sent back important news. Although he does not directly control any of the intelligence services, it is very convenient to use the power in his hands to plant his own eyeliner in it.
"The secret information transferred from the FBI and CIA shows that Jiang Minghong should attract our enough attention, his origin is very mysterious, and according to the information provided by a senior intelligence officer of Huaguo who defected to Chengcheng, Jiang Minghong's existence was once classified as a first-class secret by them, and he once took action against him, although it failed, but until now there is still a part of the force that has been monitoring his movements. All of this person's experiences are in File Three. One spoke.
"This person's origin is a bit strange, but I don't want to spoil the current good atmosphere of cooperation because of him, do you understand?" The middle-aged man looked around and continued.
"Okay," seeing that the people below had not spoken for a long time, the middle-aged man folded his hands and said, "The surveillance of the two of them continues, and we will discuss the next question." ”
"Does Dr. Xue have any new suggestions for other techniques that need to be used to complete the experiment?" The middle-aged man began to ask the technical expert.
"The analysis report we did had already been presented to him, and he only added one thing, which is the microrobot technology that we have been working on before, and he said that having a microrobot that can enter intercellular activities can operate and observe the movement of nerve cells in the field to obtain a series of data that we need." The technologist said this with a strange expression on his face.
"What's the problem?" The middle-aged man naturally saw the expression of the technical expert and asked.
"There is a big problem, because it is not necessarily less difficult to build such a robot than we have done this immortal experiment." As he spoke, the technologist handed over a copy of the historical research on microrobots.
The theory of microrobotics, also known as nanoscale robotics, was proposed in 1959, Richard Feynman, in a lecture entitled "There is a lot of space at the bottom of the matter", proposed that in the future, it is possible for human beings to build a micro-machine of molecular size, which can use molecules or even individual atoms as building components to construct matter in a very small space, which means that human beings can make anything in the lowest space. Changing and organizing molecules from molecules and atoms is what chemists and biologists aim to achieve. This will make the production process very simple, and you will only need to recombine the large number of molecules you have obtained to form useful objects.
The middle-aged man put down the information, his expression also became very strange, and he now somewhat understood what the real meaning of "scientist madness" was. If it weren't for the confirmation that this Richard was a normal human, then he was very suspicious that this guy was sent by aliens to destroy the earth. As the information concludes, if there are crazy people who use this technology, they can turn the entire Earth's biosphere into a big cheese in less than a month. This can be achieved by fabricating a batch of nanorobots that replicate the ontology infinitely and at the same time combine organic molecules. Even before that point is reached, there will be equally defensive nanobots that will resist them. But who can guarantee that it can be stopped in time, I am afraid that before that, just like the current epidemic of computer viruses, it has caused a large-scale disaster. A normal person, suddenly turned into a large loaf of bread. It's a creepy scene just to think about.
"Humans have opened enough Pandora's box", the middle-aged man suddenly flashed through his mind. It is undeniable that once this technology is invented, the guys at the Ministry of Defense will definitely pursue its military use, just as the advent of the atomic bomb did.
According to the data, a previous president has approved the establishment of a national nano research institute and allocated $5 billion to support the research.
"Now the research results of nanorobots are far from meeting the requirements of the assumption, according to recent scientific reports, some research institutions have used nanotechnology to develop robots with a height and width of millimeters, and the latest development is only in the primary application of nanotechnology, such as the production of some nanodevices, and there is still a distance from the earth to the moon from the birth of nanoscale robots to the highest goal." The technologist continued.
"It's really not that simple, if you want to fight against the inherent law of birth, old age, sickness and death, you have to take a huge risk." The middle-aged man fell into a long thought.
The subordinates didn't make any noise, in fact, after hearing the doctor's analysis, they also knew that it was impossible to carry out such a thing, which could be described as reversing the laws of biology for hundreds of millions of years, without further research. And based on the doctor's hours-long arguments, they understood that in order to truly succeed in their research, the development of nanoscale robots was only a research tool, and it was no wonder that the doctor did not show any pride in the mention of the therapeutic cloning technology. Compared to the real goal, the research results can only be regarded as pediatric things.
Whether it is the correction of human genes or the treatment of common diseases, nanoscale robots will play an important role, and they are no strangers to this idea, nor have they opposed it, but it is not easy to achieve this goal.
