289 is imminent
"There's nothing new about my approach, it's better to take the initiative than to sit back and wait. Even if the living corpse gathers zombies, it is impossible to whistle, there should be a process. ”
"Now that the snow and ice have melted and the roads are better, I plan to go a little further and explore the suburbs. In addition to looking for survivors, the main thing is to observe whether there are any zombies gathering. ”
"If there is, then let's join forces and get another bomber to take it out. Now that the area within the Fourth Ring Road has basically been explored, it should not be difficult to complete the search from the Fourth Ring Road to the Sixth Ring Road outward, and it should take a month to complete the search. ”
"Then instead of searching in a large area, we can find key and densely populated areas. In this way, we can basically check the area within at least 50 kilometers of our surroundings before summer. ”
Speaking of the living corpse, which is half human and half zombie, Hong Tao also has a question. The head had been handed over to Dr. Fan and Wang Gong for a month, and the two of them had extracted a creature from the brain tissue that was completely different from the zombie's body, but somewhat similar.
After cultivation and observation, an uncertain answer has just been reached. This organism is neither like a virus nor a bacterium nor a fungus, but it has some characteristics of viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
For example, it does not have a cell wall or nucleus, and is more like a virus, but it can replicate and reproduce on its own without any living cells like bacteria, provided that it needs sufficient light wave stimulation. If there is no light, it will go dormant like a fungal spores.
The creatures found on zombies are broadly divided into two types, with muscles and bones that are more bacteria-like. They can replicate themselves and replace aging individuals.
The nervous system and brain are more like viruses, relying only on human brain cells and nerve cells to survive, and release many substances to feed brain cells and nerve cell metabolism.
Wang Gong made a bold guess, saying that the zombie's brain and most of the nervous system were still alive, but the muscles, internal organs and bones had been replaced. In other words, the creature is using the human brain and nervous system to manipulate a completely replaced body.
It's just that the method is weird and ingenious, and it's really not that the level of knowledge of him and Dr. Fan is understandable, and he hasn't even heard of it. In a way, humanity is not exterminated, but parasitized.
This is also the main reason why zombie brain cells and major nervous systems are destroyed and immediately lose their ability to move. In fact, the creatures in the zombie brain are very, very fragile and can be killed by almost anything.
But the substances that make up the skin, muscles, and bones of zombies are too tenacious, and they are simply indestructible. So far, nothing has been found that can cause them substantial harm, not even oxidized or rotten, and bacteria and fungi have shunned them.
However, these two creatures are interdependent, and without outer protection, the creatures in the brain cannot resist anything, and will die quickly. Without the control of these creatures in the brain, the outer creatures no longer photosynthesize and starve themselves to death.
Speaking of photosynthesis, Hong Tao only guessed half right, zombies do live by light, but not just sunlight. So far, both doctors have tried most visible light and a small portion of invisible light. Outer creatures all react to them, but not in the same way.
In other words, the creatures on the zombie are absorbing electromagnetic waves and converting them into the energy they need, but the utilization rate of electromagnetic waves in different frequency bands is different. They don't need water for photosynthesis of the earth's plants, they're more like solar panels, which are directly converted.
This speculation explains another state of zombies, dormant!
In fact, zombies that have been in the dark for a long time will not die, but the conversion rate of absorbed electromagnetic waves is too low to supply their normal growth, so they simply enter a dormant state. At this time, the two organisms in the outer layer and the brain converge again, and become organisms with certain fungal spore characteristics.
However, once the creature has completely entered the spore-like form, it is difficult to wake up again, and the two doctors have also tried many light sources, but have not succeeded in reviving the spore-like creature, but they are only sure that they are still alive.
To find out how this creature uses electromagnetic waves to obtain energy, what frequency bands are most sensitive to electromagnetic waves, and how to wake up, Fan Chunling and Wang Heping both said that they couldn't help.
It's not a question of infectious diseases or genetics, you should find someone who is proficient in electromagnetism or high-energy physics to participate in the experiment, and maybe a chemist.
Do physicists have any? Hong Tao counted with his fingers, unreasonable can be seen everywhere, and there is really no one who can get to this level by engaging in physics. Not only did I not have it here, but the Flying Tigers and the Peace Army also asked, and they also didn't.
This small setback didn't stump Hong Tao, and the capital didn't expand the search area. Thanks to radio, it allows survivors to communicate with each other instead of being alone.
But after asking all the connected groups in China, I only found an engineer engaged in biopharmaceuticals near Changsha, but the distance was too far, even if people were willing to support scientific research, they couldn't get people over for the time being.
No one in the country could get it, so Hong Tao simply didn't think about it more, and only wrote a report on these findings and sent them to the alliance headquarters. At the same time, by the way, it is suggested that the members of the alliance jointly look for scientific researchers in this area to see if they can put together a set of scientific research teams. Find a place with more advanced equipment, and really set up a scientific research team with zombies and living corpses as the research goal.
As a result, the alliance replied last night, fully agreeing with and supporting this suggestion, and sent a document to each alliance member together with the warning message of the Danish living corpse, calling on everyone to find relevant talents, relevant equipment, and relevant locations.
At the same time, the alliance also gave advice, or inquiry. In view of the preliminary research results achieved by the rescue team, I would like to ask Hong Tao if he would like to take the lead in this project.
The alliance will do its best to support talent, equipment and even test specimens. But the right location, energy supply, and logistical supply have to be provided by the rescue team, and the research results are of course shared by the whole alliance.
At that time, Hong Tao felt that this was, supporting talents, equipment and experimental specimens...... How can you support it? Could it be that you can use the teleportation array to send it to me! But soon his questions were answered, and the German and French survivors, working together, had restored the airways and landed safely on the Seine.
Although it was only a small propeller plane, the landing was guided by ground radio in the pattern of a jet. The reason why they did this experiment was to see if they could get rid of GPS navigation and rely only on radio and inertial navigation equipment to guide the jet to complete a visual landing.
Next, the German survivors would fly their jets to Paris' Orly Airport for a second visual landing test. If they succeed, they will send details to survivors around the world about how to use radio guidance and what to look out for during the landing.
It has to be said that many people in Europe and the United States are very adventurous and willing to be pioneers at any time, even if they lose their lives for it.
In fact, most of the development of science and technology is risk-taking. The person who drove the first locomotive, the first car, and the first airplane, if it was placed in China, would definitely be sprayed into a series of Europeans and Americans.
Including Hong Tao himself, he can fly planes, but he never thought of exploring routes, the purpose is not to have fun, nor to be a hero, but to explore the way for others.
Now that others are about to poke out the way, Hong Tao immediately agreed to set up a larger-scale and more professional medical laboratory, except for blushing a little.
Talent first from the domestic potential, far from it doesn't matter, just wait for the Germans to send the landing data over, and I also drove the plane to Changsha to pick up the biopharmaceutical engineer first, by the way to try how trendy the technology is, whether you can do long-distance flights.
After all, without satellite positioning, airplanes cannot drive autonomously. After a few hours or more than a dozen hours of manual operation, and the radio had to be used to correct the route at any time, it was not only mental and physical work, but also a technical job, and the whole village could eat a banquet if you were not careful.
