Chapter Seventy-Six: Viruses
"Type A mutant virus solution", this is the item information that Tang Hao saw on the screen.
Commander Mode can provide a lot of information that you wouldn't know before.
He had long known that these zombie venoms were not simple, and they were indeed some kind of mutated virus.
"Adjutant, do you have any specific information about this mutant virus solution?" He asked, holding the idea of a blind cat crashing into a dead mouse.
The lieutenant replied, "It's a virulent virus, it's extremely contagious, it only takes skin-to-skin contact to be infected, and within five minutes the virus kills the host and transforms it into an extremely aggressive entity." ”
"I know the effects of the virus very well, and I would like to ask, is this virus man-made or naturally occurring? And in what ways has it been used? ”
Tang Hao is more interested in the background of this virus, it stands to reason that it is in the interstellar era, and it should be impossible for ordinary zombie viruses to cause large-scale harm.
The adjutant continued to answer his question: "The A variant is not used alone, it must be used in conjunction with retroviruses and high-dose boosters. ”
"This joint virus modification method is a human modification program called 'Space Marine' secretly promoted by the federal government."
"Under the suppression of high-dose boosters and retroviruses, the virulence of the A variant will be greatly reduced, but the modification of the host will continue."
"The 'Space Marines' who have successfully completed the transformation can have stronger physique and sharper perception, and the federal government has even created a special heavy exoskeleton for them, and each 'Star Marine' is equivalent to a special force."
"Of course...... This transformation has a high failure rate and has terrible side effects, and the Federation has never incorporated 'Space Marines' into its regular army. ”
Hearing what the adjutant said, Tang Hao felt that things were much more reasonable, this "type A mutant virus" must have leaked out of nowhere after the underground world was abandoned.
However, when it came to human body transformation, Tang Hao thought of the question about "modules" again: "Adjutant, analyze the modules that followers have accessed, and tell me their details." ”
The lieutenant of the intelligent base quickly replied: "This is also the federal government's human modification program, called the 'Brain Domain' technology, but it is much safer than the 'Space Marine' transformation, and has been widely used in the field of civilian transformation for a long time. ”
"As long as the accessor is surgically implanted in the notochord nerve, it can be directly connected to various modules, and basically all adults will be implanted at that time, and they can network their human brains through the module, which is very convenient anytime and anywhere."
Tang Hao asked: "No, my followers, the modules they use do not have the functions you mentioned, but can improve one of their physical attributes, and even gain some incredible abilities. ”
The adjutant of intelligent machinery said unhurriedly: "That's right, the module just mentioned by this machine is a common civilian module, which can only be used on the Internet at most, or quickly learn some basic knowledge by downloading." ”
"And the modules used by your followers should be special modules created by the military's 'Psychic Warriors' program."
"'Psychic warriors'? What is this again? What does it have to do with 'Space Marine'? Tang Hao felt a little dizzy, this time the "Space Marine" and the "Soul Warrior", the federal government and the military are having a good time.
The lieutenant replied, "'Psychic Warrior' and 'Space Marine' are two different sets of human modification schemes. ”
"'Space Marine' is mainly modified from the physical level to adapt to a more brutal environment and high-intensity combat."
"The main purpose of the 'Mind Warrior' is to develop the potential of the individual at the spiritual level, and directly control the body with the power of the mind."
"There is no relevant information in this machine about the transformation effect of the specific 'Mind Warrior', but the ultimate purpose of the plan is to use the mind to directly influence and change the material world."
Tang Hao was shocked after hearing this, and at the same time, he also knew that the transformation module of the "Soul Warrior" was obviously successfully developed, and his followers were proof of it.
Using the power of the mind to influence and change the physical world sounds magical, but yes, any sufficiently advanced technology is no different from magic.
……
It took two days for the expedition to reach the periphery of the marked site.
Further on, there is the dark area, which Catherine and Selena have marked, and if it were usual, they would definitely avoid this place far away.
However, today, the destination of the expedition is in this dark area, and in the face of this absolute death realm, everyone did not flinch at all.
After turning a passage, a darkness appeared in front of everyone, it was a passage that was completely immersed in darkness, and there was not a single light in it.
Daniel and Catherine opened the way in front of them, lighting small flames on the flamethrower, and when they approached the dark area, they didn't care about the murmuring and whispering in the dark, and pressed the switch to spray wildly.
The alcohol spewed out by the flamethrower, after being ignited by the flame, formed columns of fire that sprayed around the passage.
The darkness seemed to be ignited by flames, and where the light of the fire lit it, the darkness began to retreat, and "it" was afraid of the heat produced by the flames, and kept moving backwards.
The two of them breathed fire as they advanced, and soon the entrance of the passage was engulfed in flames, and the flames reflected the passage red, and the darkness retreated in the blazing firelight.
Seeing that the flamethrower worked, the team's confidence increased, and Cha Mo and Fran replaced Daniel and Catherine, and the two groups took turns breathing fire forward, quickly advancing the burning area to the center of the passage.
"Keep up the good work! We're going to wipe out the darkness in the entire passage in one fell swoop! Fran shouted as Catherine pulled back alcohol from her "subspace backpack" to refuel her flamethrower.
The high temperature generated by the combustion is indeed the nemesis of nanomachinery, looking at the black dust scattered on the ground of the passage, Lias nodded and said: "Susie is right, the darkness is caused by these fine dusts. ”
"Flames can destroy these invisible substances, come on, we are victorious!"
After consuming hundreds of kilograms of alcohol, the entire interior of the passage was burned by the team members with flames, and when the flames advanced to the corner of the passage, the light strip on the top of the passage suddenly lit up.
It was a complete victory, as the expedition cleared the darkness that had entrenched the passage and brought light to it again.
