Chapter 377: Ancestral Virus
"How, what was the result?" Locke asked, looking at Lena, who had begun to invade.
"No problem, I've found a loophole in the firewall and I'm invading, but it takes six minutes and thirty-one seconds to avoid startling." Lena replied with a blank face.
More than six minutes is not a long time, and taking advantage of this gap, Locke found his identity card in the room and familiarized himself with the overall layout of the Tokyo base.
"It's done, I've taken control of the artificial intelligence of this base, and I also found out that there seems to be a special backdoor in it, which hides a detailed plan to eliminate humans, and now most of the top executives of the Umbrella Company have been replaced with clones.
Long six hours ago, the Hive base in Raccoon City had lost contact, that is, the plan had already begun. ”
"I thought I had time to stop those crazy guys, but it was not so easy to take advantage of the loophole in the task, and the time arranged by the system was just stuck at the beginning of the plot, and now I can't stop it from happening."
Locke thought for a moment, and then said to Lina: "First use the network between the various bases to control the artificial intelligence of each base, and send me a detailed plan for the umbrella company to eliminate humans." ”
"Okay, let's start the invasion of the other Umbrella Corp. bases, and the plan you want has been delivered." Lena was quick to respond.
Opening the personal computer on his wrist, the screen projected in front of him quickly showed the hidden plan that only the real Isaacs was qualified to view and modify, and browsed through it at a glance.
"Sure enough, the 'accident' that arranged for the virus leak in the hive was actually arranged by Isaacs, the so-called organization against the umbrella company, and there were people from the umbrella company inside from the beginning.
The leakage of the Hive T virus, and then the gradual spread to the world, seems to be an accident in a series of circumstances, but in fact, Isaacs is secretly behind it, and even for the rapid spread of the T virus, many backhands have been specially arranged.
No wonder in just two or three months in the plot, the T virus has completely spread to the world, this is still after the nuclear strike in Raccoon City, the main reason is that in conjunction with the Raccoon City incident in the second movie, Esx arranged to release the virus around the world early. ”
After reading the plan, Locke confirmed that the person responsible for spreading the virus was the famous Wesker, and Wesker was also an important person in promoting the plan, because of the existence of clones, what the real Isaacs did inconveniently, he did.
"To stop the large-scale spread of the virus, the key is not only to prevent the reopening of the hive, in fact, the spread of the T virus in Raccoon City is not simply because of the reboot of the hive, but the fact that Wesker dropped the T virus early in Raccoon City.
It is also necessary to prevent Wesker from carrying out the task of spreading the virus, but now that the virus has been released around the world, it has actually been completed, but it will take some time to completely spread. ”
Looking at the timeline on the plan, Locke knew that it would be difficult to stop the spread of the virus, so he thought of the serum that appeared in the last film in the series.
This is also the most important support for Isaacs to ensure that after the human race in the world is wiped out, the T virus will be completely eliminated and the world will be rebuilt.
Virus serums are extremely fast-acting, self-reproducing, and have no toxic effect on humans, and can continue to spread around the globe with atmospheric flows.
As long as the serum spreads, even if humanity will suffer a lot of losses in the first wave of virus spreading, there is no problem in completing the task, after all, even the end of the movie, it is only after the T virus has spread to the world for many years that almost all the survivors are finally eliminated.
Although Isaacs said that he only prepared one serum for the virus, in fact, the information of the serum can still be found in the documents hidden by the Umbrella Company, which Locke has confirmed with Lena, but it takes a certain amount of effort to make it.
As for now, Locke is going to go to the lab to see the famous T virus first.
After a rigorous disinfection process, Locke entered the highest-level biological gene core laboratory in the Tokyo base.
This laboratory is strictly a complete set of suites, which are divided into seven or eight laboratories with different functions according to various classifications, such as sterilization rooms, quality inspection rooms, operation rooms, and so on.
At the same time, a series of high-end instruments are displayed in the laboratory, such as centrifuges, nucleic acid extraction instruments, and real-time polymerase chain reaction instruments......
As far as Locke knows, many of these instruments are not available in the American drama world and the Pacific Rim world, and Locke looked at them one by one, and with his understanding of biological laboratory equipment, he roughly judged the role of these instruments.
Soon, Locke noticed a very special device, which looked like a large printer, with a white casing and a deep groove in the middle, and inside the groove were extremely small components.
"This is ......" Locke looked at the instrument in front of him, "Is it the adenine base editor?" How can Biohazard biotechnology reach such an extent? ”
Locke quickly thought of the associated longevity, the so-called adenine base editor, which can precisely manipulate individual base pairs on DNA, is a technology developed based on CRISPR gene scissor technology, which can lock and edit the genome more efficiently, with little off-target phenomenon.
This technology, which can easily observe the DNA nucleic acid strand and manipulate individual base pairs very precisely, is also the basis for the world's ability to study T virus.
According to Locke's estimates, even the most cutting-edge biological gene editing technology in the previous life is estimated to be unable to do this, and there is a gap of at least thirty or forty years.
"Sure enough, it is no fluke that the umbrella company was able to conduct research related to the T virus, and I didn't expect that there were samples of the progenitor virus in this laboratory."
Locke, who was looking at the laboratory information, thought in his heart that the Resident Evil series of movies did not explain how the T virus was discovered, but only said that the chairman of the previous generation of the umbrella company even made some progress in the research and development of the T virus in order to treat his daughter's disease.
It's a pity that after the chairman died, Isaacs, as his friend, took advantage of his daughter's minority to obtain custody and control the umbrella company.
Alice, the protagonist of the movie series, is a clone of the chairman's daughter, which is naturally adapted to the T virus.
This is also why Alice does not become a zombie after being hit by the T-virus, and other people, even Wesker, have mutation defects in specially formulated virus enhancements.
As for how the T virus came about, the plot of the movie is not explained at all, but according to the setting in the game, the founder of Resident Evil discovered a very special flower called the Ladder of the Sun in Africa.
A special RNA fragment can be extracted from the flower, the Archaeopteryx virus, which has the power to change human genes, which aroused great interest from the founders.
Unfortunately, the experiment was not ideal until the founder chimeed the gene fragment of the leech with the gene of the progenitor virus, and finally produced the first version of the T virus.
Now, some samples of the progenitor virus are stored in a freezer at the Tokyo base.
