Chapter 45: It seems that I have to make a cameo as a sword hilt
"Hmm...... It's a serious problem. After analyzing the data collected from the infected, the metal ball said to Wu Ming: "To make a long story short, judging from the results, this is indeed the handiwork of the demon scientist Konstantin......
Wu Ming manipulated the module component of the auxiliary device to open a diamond-shaped spatial rift and stuff the restless infected inside, inside is a portable special containment space used by the operators of the Lucky Ancient God Office to temporarily seal anomalous objects (including transcendent creatures), the blockade and isolation of the inner and outer space is carried out from the full-dimensional level, it can be regarded as a different space completely isolated from the real world, and the space inside is almost infinite for the creatures who enter the containment space, It can even automatically adjust the internal space to a suitable environment according to their basic physiological needs to ensure the survival of these creatures.
According to the instructions provided with the download of the module, the auxiliary device of the operator of the office and the module are the only means that can connect the containment space and the real world, and the developers of the module strongly require the operators not to abandon the connection channel of the containment space at will, because the containment space will lose its fixation from the auxiliary device and sink into [Chaos] as an independent world, and due to the special nature of the containment space, it will not be naturally assimilated by [Chaos] for hundreds of millions of years. This is likely to lead to some inexplicable problems.
The developers of the module even found a related case - there was a containment cell that drifted in [Chaos] for tens of millions of years, because it collided with a universe and caused the containment to come out, causing irreversible logical damage and fundamental constant destruction to that universe, and then the chain reaction caused the physical laws of that universe to collapse like a domino that was overturned, and finally caused that universe to turn into brilliant fireworks in [Chaos] and die directly, and the operator who threw this chaotic garbage was directly twisted to the court. In the end, most of them were punished for several crimes and built puppet tiles.
Although Wu Ming didn't know what [Chaos] was, nor did he know who threw the chaotic garbage that surpassed the level of space junk, this did not prevent him from paying attention to it, and he carefully closed the rift in the containment space and asked, "In other words, we are still one step slower, has Konstantin begun to spread his scientific research results everywhere?" ”
After thinking for a while, the elegant and easy-going voice sounded again: "It's not that serious, according to the data analysis results of the sample, the nanobots and magic methods carried by this batch of infected people are still made using the old technology, and these nanorobots specially adjusted by Konstantin will first be quickly replicated at an incredible speed after entering the human body, and after forming a certain number in a short period of time, they will automatically be arranged into magic patterns used to continuously strengthen and repair the body of the infected." ”
"However, the mode of transmission can only be transmitted through contact with the body fluids of the carrier, and the built-in program instructions of the nanobot are set to only survive in the body of the infected person, and it will self-extinguish after no more than a minute of exposure to the external environment.
Wu Ming was dumbfounded: "You bacteria not only make breakfast, but also divide your left and right hands?!" ”
The metal ball spread his hands very vividly and said, "Why can't flagella be divided into left and right hands?" Besides, I'm a parable, do you understand the parable! ”
Elizabeth listened to the question mark on her head: "Aren't bacteria microorganisms with only one flagellation!?" ”
"It is speculated that Konstantin may be a bacterial organism of twin flagella or periflagella."
"Enough! You big guys, we're all wearing tardigrades-style exoskeleton armor! Don't go on the topic of bacterial flagella! ”
"Ahem, let's get down to business, making such a backward and rudimentary way of transmission shows that Konstantin doesn't want this thing to spread in large numbers at all, and with the science and technology of you big guys today, you can quickly establish a quarantine area in the face of this epidemic, and at most it will take a little effort to stop the spread of infection." The metal ball changed his words and forcibly pulled back the topic that had been crooked: "According to our prediction for him, after Constantine breaks the technical barriers between the integration and application of technology and magic, what can be made is at least spread by memetic means, and the conditions for transmission may be a sentence, a look, or even a word written by chatting with friends on the Internet or posting a post can become a carrier of infection and transmission. Worse still, these infected individuals may even be in a state of pleasure and actively promote the further spread and spread of the meme. ”
Wu Ming only felt goosebumps fall to the ground when he listened to the second half of the metal ball's words, and said in his heart that fortunately, this demon scientist just made out not such a crazy thing, otherwise, according to the speed of information transmission in modern society, the situation he has to face now is estimated to be a magical version of Resident Evil...... Or maybe the modern version of the Xiangshu has been born.
"Question, what is the probability that the target character, Konstantin, will be able to create a meme virus now?" Zhao Xida silently glanced at Wu Ming, whose thoughts were gradually drifting away from consciousness and beginning to wander outside the world, quietly stretched out her hand and twisted his arm lightly and asked the metal ball.
The metal ball scratched its head with a mechanical arm very humanely: "What is the specific probability...... To be honest, I don't know. The spies planted by Konstantin in the United Kingdom have been wiped out by the last confrontation with him, and they have lost accurate and stable intelligence sources to grasp the progress of his scientific research, but the interior of his spacecraft is also seriously damaged and needs to be repaired urgently, and the time required to remove Konstantin's design, research and production of the meme virus is at most We have a buffer time, and once the meme virus is spread, the infection will spread on a large scale in a very short period of time regardless of race, language, geography, and distance. Although we in the United Kingdom have weapons in our hands to deal with the memetic virus, the scale is not enough, and I am afraid that it will be ...... in the face of infected human society."
The metal ball didn't say any more, and Wu Ming, who was twisted his arm hard by Zhao Xida and came back to his senses, knew very well the implied meaning of his words - even if the infection was successfully cured by them in the end, human society would inevitably undergo irreversible changes because of this catastrophe. The more developed the region, the more affected by the memetic virus, and depending on the lethality and severity of the memetic virus, it is possible to set human civilization back by a hundred or even hundreds of years in one fell swoop......
Thinking of this, Wu Ming, who didn't know where to put the wrong line in his brain, suddenly asked the metal ball: "Can you design the shape of the weapon against Konstantin in the shape of the hilt of the broken sword?" ”
