Rena said that in the past two years, they had experienced a lot of anxiety and failure.
Even if she didn't explain it in detail, Lin Sanjiu could already imagine the amount of preparation, manpower, resources, and adjustments needed to put the plan on the right track. It was so complicated that Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was drowning in a sea of problems. She couldn't even breathe.
Even though it was called a "vaccine", it was completely different from a traditional vaccine. Furthermore, there were countless variables and unknowns, making it far more complicated than the production of a real vaccine. Where should a person start to resist the teleportation? Just the first question already made Lin Sanjiu feel as if she was lost in a vast ocean.
There were only five people in biochemical suits in the city. However, Rena said that they had invested a lot of manpower and effort into this project before, after, and after that. Anxiety and stalemate were daily occurrences. Not to mention progress, most of the time, they were even changing direction, suffering damage, or retreating. Even though she had issued visas to every researcher, she still lost many of the people she had painstakingly gathered because of the flood.
Some of them had accidents while conducting experiments on themselves. Some of them lost their lives during the research process. Most of the time, they disappeared without a trace during their various missions. Even Rena didn't know what happened to them. The only thing she could do was to gather more people and continue to fill in the black hole that seemed to never have an answer.
However, today, they finally had an answer. Or rather, they had never been so close to an answer before.
"The guiding principle of this research was established a few years ago. After repeated tests and modifications, it is now theoretically feasible." Rena's voice was still trembling slightly as she spoke. She probably didn't even know that she was speaking. "I can't explain the technical difficulties and the complexity of the research clearly … You probably won't understand even if you listen to me."
Lin Sanjiu nodded. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she felt as if she had just gotten off a ship in the middle of a storm. She felt a little dizzy and a little absent-minded. If even she felt that way, how would Rena feel?
"This …" She was stunned for a while before she finally found her voice. "Is this real? You guys really did … such a big thing? "
How did Rena and her subordinates manage to do something that even the Veda could not?
Lin Sanjiu knew that her grand prize had "teleported" one of the participants when she was in the villa pocket dimension. It was because of that "teleportation" that she managed to enter the modern world. After the two of them reunited, she had asked her grand prize about the teleportation, but the answer she got was as expected, but it was still disappointing. Even the Veda was unable to resist the teleportation effect on humans.
The reason was simple. To take away a person's transmission, the Veda had to analyze that person first. This meant that, first of all, the Veda had to know in advance when the person would be teleported away. After the flood messed up the laws of teleportation, this became an unpredictable and nearly impossible task. Second, the Veda had to accurately grasp the timing of the person's body's reaction to the teleportation. This was a completely different concept from the teleportation date. Lastly, the teleportation had to be long enough for the Veda to complete the analysis.
Even if the Veda fulfilled all three requirements, there was still one more crucial problem. Every time the person needed to be teleported away, there had to be a Veda beside him. The Veda had to repeat the above three steps perfectly. If there was even the slightest mistake, the person would be thrown back into the endless apocalyptic world.
"That Cleland's transmission lasted for many days, so I could do anything in time," the grand prize explained to her. He sighed, "However, such an ideal situation is too unique. I'm afraid it's one in a million, so it can't be replicated."
That was the only time Lin Sanjiu thought that the teleportation could be stopped. Ever since then, she never thought about it again. Sometimes, she didn't even bother to think about getting a visa. She felt that ever since the flood, everything had been shrouded in a layer of meaningless and useless gray.
However, it was from this murky, grayish meaninglessness that Rena tore through the fog and found a path.
Judging from the brief conversation earlier and the implied meaning of the word "vaccine", the Shark-type's solution was not to transform a person into something else to prevent them from being teleported away. Otherwise, even if they were transformed into a duoluozhong, they would not be teleported away when they were still in the early stages. But that would be meaningless.
What the Shark-type could do was to prevent a posthuman from being teleported away without having to give up his or her ability to evolve, turn into an inhuman creature, or change his or her own will.
The more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the more shocked she became. "If the vaccine is really effective, then the Shark-type has combined the best parts of a posthuman and a normal human. Is this … is this really possible?"
"Actually, the theory isn't as hard to understand as the actual process," Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself. Even after the few people in the biochemical suits returned to work, Rena still felt as if she was in a dream.
"What's the theory behind it?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking, "What does it have to do with the procedures in the factory? You might not know this, but I once snuck into your factory with a group of normal people — "
The expression that flashed across Rena's face made her suddenly stop talking.
She understood now. Rena knew. "No wonder Rena chose the right timing. Just as I was about to attack the few people in the biochemical suits, I fell into the effect of a" brain in a vat ".
"When did you start …"
The moment Lin Sanjiu asked this question, Rena shook her head. She laughed softly and said, "That's not important for now. I told you that you have to give me a chance to explain things to you, right? Let me start with the theory behind the 'teleportation vaccine'. "
It was obvious that this wasn't the first time the Shark-type had to explain something like this to someone. Rena brought Lin Sanjiu to a room. There, Lin Sanjiu stepped into a clear and realistic projection.
Even though it was just a projection, Lin Sanjiu could tell that there was a pocket dimension under the dark cloud between two tall buildings. Not all pocket dimensions could be identified at first glance. However, due to various reasons, there were quite a number of pocket dimensions that could be identified at first glance.
"In an apocalyptic world, posthumans face two major risks. One is teleportation, and the other is pocket dimension. "
When Lin Sanjiu heard this unfamiliar voice, she was a little shocked. Then, she realized that she was listening to a recorded voice. The Shark-type's explanation of the vaccine was made into a projection world that could be played over and over again, just like how companies did business before the apocalypse.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but wonder.
"Who is this for? Or rather, who are the people who have seen it? "
"After the evolution, a stable life became a dream. But, is there no possibility of realizing this dream? When we start to think about how we can resist teleportation,
We need to focus on normal people who will not be teleported and will not be affected by the flood. At that time, we will realize … "
As the voice continued to describe the situation, a woman who looked like a normal person appeared between the two tall buildings. She had a normal expression on her face. She turned a corner and walked away. In stark contrast, there was a posthuman who had just walked past her and disappeared into thin air.
"Not only will normal people not react to teleportation, they will also not be trapped in pocket dimensions. Even if there are pocket dimensions that can trap normal people, they are very rare. Until now, we have not collected enough data to prove that they are common. In an apocalyptic world, even if there are such pocket dimensions, the number of them is negligible. The two unique risks that posthumans face do not exist for normal people. Considering this commonality, since we can't use the flood to test normal people, can we use pocket dimensions instead? "
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly recalled the conversation she had overheard in the factory.
"You know …"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't even remember who the person was. Only this sentence remained in her memory. "Pocket dimensions usually do not react to normal people like us …"
