Andy sat in a chair and the string pricked his arm with a needle, then connected the blood from two test tubes with rubber tubes.

"The results will be available shortly after these are sent in, and then your dog."

She walked over to the demon, who was already asleep on the ground, and drew some blood out of it.

The machine was running, and the two sat silently opposite each other for a moment.

"Hmm... So what kind of projects is this facility used for? Is it just biological weapons development? ”

The string shakes its head.

"In the early days, a lot of great prototype technology was born here, and I found some records in the database, and it seems that the earliest prototypes of medical biogels and power armor and nuclear fusion cores were born here, and then the subsequent refinement and development had nothing to do with here, but the groundbreaking progress did begin here.... However, these fascinating studies changed direction completely after 2066. ”

Andy made a guess.

"Is it because there was a war?"

String nodded, brushing the loose hair by the way.

"Yes, war.... The BA sent troops to take control of the remote and cold land in the north, which officially led to the war. ”

Andy was intrigued by the idea that discussing this with the strings would give him some other perspectives.

"Why do you think that war happened?"

The strings give a concise conclusion.

"It's a combination of natural disasters .... In terms of natural disasters, the sudden energy crisis has brought the industry to a halt and the country to a halt. As a result, oil has become a precious treasure and the fragile balance between countries has been upset. The world is back in the era of the jungle, and small countries will face extinction, and they will be controlled by the big powers to intervene by force and then plunder the remaining energy resources. After the small countries were annexed... It is the turn of the contradictions between the great powers. ”

"And on the ** side .... SA is a world leader in nuclear technology research and development, but they are firmly in control of the technology patents and are unwilling to give up the remaining oil resources. The last oil field in Pingyang was declared by both BA and SA to exploit the oil rights, and it was the BA who initially took the opportunity to build the oil extraction equipment, but it was the agents sent by the SA who allegedly carried out the sabotage, resulting in the eventual loss of the right to exploit this oil resource. In the aftermath of this incident, BA developed a huge sense of hatred and was cornered... From the beginning to the end, the SA didn't seem to care what the result of this would be, but the result was ultimately not a matter of concern. ”

Andy nodded, it turns out that there are so many stories in the old world, and he doesn't even know .... Most of the accounts have been destroyed by the light of the nuclear bomb, and the people who have come after have almost forgotten everything.

"So... Did they choose to go to war in 2066? ”

"Yes."

The string sighed, his thoughts looking complicated.

"The soldiers, shouting slogans, rushed into that enclave north of the SA and rushed into .... Anchorage. Since then, SA has entered a state of war, which has had a huge impact on the scientific research community, and a lot of capital has begun to turn to military research and development, especially companies such as Western Science and Technology ... The Great Dome was also greatly affected, with scientific research projects in other directions all beginning to give way to weapons development, and eventually the SA government decided that the Great Dome was not enough to achieve their expectations. They transferred their human resources to a new, new, scientific research facility dedicated to the development of weapons technology. ”

Andy, of course, was curious about it.

"Do you know where that place is?"

The string shakes its head.

"It's a hidden place, and by some clues, it's probably in the northwest... It may not be far from the famous Death Valley region in the west, but where exactly it is is a huge unknown, but.... If that place had not been completely destroyed by nuclear bombs, it would have been a terrible place with so much harm, and it is hard to imagine what the weapons use projects that the scientists of the Old World had developed with the support of the government would have been..."

But then she laughed dumbly.

"Alas... It is too far away to say this, and the life-and-death crises we are facing now are all in a basket, and who can take care of the distant and unknown dangers. ”

String looked up, his gaze seeming to penetrate the roof of the shed.

"In addition, some data calculations have been going on here, and the facility itself is a huge testing ground for the feasibility of extraterrestrial colonization technology.... Once sealed, the Dome would have been very strong in its defenses and completely isolated from the outside world, and the underground freezer could allow personnel to go into long-term dormancy to avoid harsh conditions, and such a structure has undoubtedly proved that people at that time were capable enough to establish a stronghold on aliens. ”

String looked at Andy, his eyes sparkling with imagination.

"What do you think? Maybe Mars and Saturn are too far away, but as far as I know, with pre-war aerospace technology, there is a high probability that humans will go to the moon and establish a base, and maybe there is still a group of people living on the moon in buildings that resemble large domes, and they have become moon people completely. ”

Andy couldn't take his eyes off it, not just because of the other party's words, but more because of the light in those eyes.

"You have a point... Maybe the moon people are already planning to return to Earth and conquer the world..."

The two of them smiled, both of them finding the discussions absurd and funny.

If there are really moon people, they will probably shake their heads while firmly staying on the moon when they see the current earth.

The device beeps and the strings immediately go to check the results.

Under Andy's anxious gaze, String put down the report.

"You do have a new plague, but the strain is the least virulent of the third strain, and the virus in your body is not very active, and it seems that you have been injected with some kind of inhibitory drug, but the drug seems to be ineffective, and some viruses are becoming active again from dormancy." "You've gained immunity, the new plague won't continue to attack you, but you're still a carrier of the virus."

Andy breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you... So I won't be afraid, although I still have to be careful not to infect others. ”

The string nodded.

"That's really important, we developed a drug that inhibits the activity of the virus, which is formula C, the white ointment... However, the amount is too scarce, and it can only be taken at extreme intervals. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die if I stop taking it for a while. ”

Later, the string picked up another report.

It was a demon's blood sample analysis.

“.......”

She was silent for a long time.

Andy's heart sank, and he guessed that it might not be a good outcome.

"I... It's a bit difficult to decide, and I'm afraid it's up to you to make your own decisions. ”

The strings eventually gave an ambiguous answer.

"Your dog did get infected with a variant of the rabies virus, and the good news is that this virus is far less virulent than the original strain, so it was able to survive for so long.... But the bad news is that it is still inflicting damage on your dog's body, and if left unchecked, it will probably fall into complete madness in a few months, followed by death. ”

Andy was taken aback, the demon had been very valued by him after following him for so long and participating in a series of battles, and he didn't want the demon to die like this.

"What then? Can it be cured? ”

The string nodded.

"The equipment here is enough to help it get rid of the virus, but... I want to ask you, this dog has always been your war dog to help you in your battles, right? ”

Andy looked at the demon and nodded, this fierce big dog fought fiercely and was not afraid of death, and his crazy momentum made the enemy shudder, of course, it gave him a lot of help.

"Yes, that's right, it's a good combat partner, and that's why I chose it in the first place."

There was a hesitant look on Xian's face.

"I... Let me tell you this, I personally recommend that you choose to have a complete virus clearance for this dog, but even if you do, it will not have a few years to live, and the long-term damage caused by the rabies virus cannot be easily eliminated. And, once the rabies virus is eliminated, your dog will be no different from a normal dog, and the aggression will be greatly reduced... At that time, it may even be difficult for him to serve as your war dog due to physical reasons... So in light of that, there is a second option. ”

Andy was a little uncomfortable listening to these words.

"What second option?"

The string speaks of a cruel option.

"There are also machines here that can completely overdraw its vitality, making it more ferocious than before in a short period of time, but its life will be shortened to less than a year, in return, in exchange for more combat help for you."

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
