After he left Jiang Chen's office, Calvin's mind kept repeating what the boss just said to him.
Five days later was the Outer Space Security Summit. At the summit, Celestial Trade would announce evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization to the heads of state and demonstrate its intention to invade … In fact, the latter didn't need to be proven at all. Two civilizations with completely different values didn't have the option to trade from the very beginning.
Since both sides were insects in each other's eyes, there seemed to be only one way to prove who could continue to stand at the top of the food chain.
That was war.
Calvin looked at the document in his hand with a complicated expression. He recalled the task his boss gave him a minute ago. For the first time in his life, Calvin felt the weight of the job on his shoulders.
…
After work in the evening, Jiang Chen didn't go home immediately. Instead, he took a boat to Coconut Island.
The island had been completely transformed into a material transfer station between the modern world and the apocalypse. Every month, a ship would arrive to unload unmarketable food, daily necessities, and other supplies. Occasionally, a batch of goods sealed in containers would be shipped away.
Some of the containers contained advanced industrial machine tools, some were T3 power armors produced by the Sixth Street, and some were other high-tech products.
Although there were no soldiers stationed on the island, there was an entire drone attack formation stationed there. It wasn't that no foreign agents had the idea of this "mysterious island", but none of them succeeded.
When he arrived on the island, Jiang Chen docked the boat at the dock. After he confirmed his identity through the drone, he walked to the warehouse in the center of the island.
In the corner of the warehouse, the machine named "Hamster Killer No. 1" sat by itself. Last time, Lin Lin used this machine to teleport a fat hamster from the modern world to the apocalypse, and then teleported back from the apocalypse. She saw the breakthrough of life interdimensional transmission from 0.1 to 1.
Although there was still some distance to teleport a living person, it was undoubtedly a good start.
But Jiang Chen didn't expect this device to come in handy so soon.
He sat down next to the machine and took out a few test tubes filled with dark green liquid from his pocket. He placed them in the middle of the two discs, then put on the wristband connected to various pipelines and turned on the power. Looking at the jumping electric arcs, he bit the bullet and pressed the switch.
After a while, he teleported the test tube to the apocalypse. He quickly untied his hands, turned off the power of the machine, and traveled over as well.
…
One of the test tubes contained substances extracted from the remains of the broodmother's nest, while the others contained spores and larva extracts. The cells in the test tubes hadn't been inactivated yet, and through the dark green culture fluid, one could even see the squirming of unknown substances.
After taking the test tubes from Jiang Chen, Lin Lin immediately plunged into the lab.
Without waiting for a long time, the door of the lab opened again. Lin Lin, who reappeared, waved at Jiang Chen and took him to a special microscope. Other than the test tubes he brought, Jiang Chen also saw two familiar test tubes on the test tube rack.
From the labels on them, he quickly understood where these two test tubes came from.
"The sample you brought is obviously not the same type as the broodmother we encountered in Fallout Shelter 005 and the broodmother we encountered in the city center, but the DNA code is quite similar. The broodmother you encountered is obviously an upgraded version, but due to underdevelopment, a lot of functions were not differentiated. "
After listening to Lin Lin's introduction, Jiang Chen's eyebrows suddenly twitched.
"Underdevelopment?"
It took hundreds of tungsten rods and an entire power armor brigade to bite down on this tough bone. You're telling me that it's a malnourished one? If it matures, there's no way we can fight!
Lin Lin nodded with a serious expression.
"That's right. If you provide it with enough organic matter and give it enough time to photosynthesize, digest and absorb the organic matter into its own components, this broodmother will gradually develop into a complete body. Based on its entire DNA code, the complete body will become a terrifying existence that can't be destroyed no matter what. "
Lin Lin paused and continued with a dignified expression, "At least with the current technological means, I can't think of a way to clean it up. Every spore cell has the ability to develop into a mature nest, and the number of times it can divide is no longer limited. Unless we can kill every single spore, one day it will come out of nowhere again. "
After listening to Lin Lin's narration, the speed of evolution of the broodmother made Jiang Chen shudder.
For them that completely abandoned tradition, Earth was a completely unfamiliar planet. Whether it was gravity, air composition, or magnetic field environment, even if they understood it, it didn't necessarily mean they could adapt. In the war against them, humans first had the home advantage.
However, on this unfamiliar land, every time they fought with humans, their abilities would evolve at an inconceivable speed. If there were a few more broodmother incidents, it was difficult to say how Harmony would carry out their invasion plan when the colonization ship landed.
After realizing the deeper seriousness of the problem, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and immediately ordered.
"Organize the information of this broodmother and focus on analyzing the similar genotypes of the X2 bacteria and the T series virus. In addition, give me a paper file and an electronic file. The electronic file should be able to make an easy-to-understand holographic image. "
"Hey, do you think I'm your secretary? It's very tiring! "Lin Lin pouted and protested.
"Ten boxes of mango pudding."
"Umm …" Lin Lin pouted for a moment and seemed to have made a big concession. "Fifteen boxes of strawberry-flavored."
When Jiang Chen heard Lin Lin's words, he smiled and shook his head.
Was this a big deal for him?
"I'll bring it for you next time. But then again, don't you like mango? "
Lin Lin stuck out her tongue and looked away, embarrassed. "There are too many mango flavored ones. I haven't finished the ones you gave me last time."
It wasn't a small amount of work to organize all the information of the broodmother, but it wasn't difficult for Lin Lin as a digitalized human. After receiving the promise, Lin Lin patted her chest and promised Jiang Chen that it would be done in three days at the latest.
After Jiang Chen left the research institute, he went straight through the door in the backyard and returned to the mansion.
Before he came to the apocalypse, he already told Ayesha that he would stay in the apocalypse for three days until Lin Lin completely organized the information of the broodmother. The information would be of great use at the upcoming Outer Space Security Summit.
Whether or not it could attract enough attention from the international community depended on it.
