The results of the genetic analysis of the virus left Chu Hao and Robert Neff speechless.
In terms of human technology, the theory and science of genetics was just the beginning. Don't look at reports of cloning humans or genetic modification of animals. In fact, these were just the beginning of human genetic science. For example, the most crucial point was that humans were still unable to create life. It was not the cloning of genes or embryos of existing life. It was the simplest way, which was to create life from the very beginning. Without any cloning, humans were still unable to create life from the very beginning of amino acids. This was something that humans were still unable to do!
But the virus in front of them was completely different. It was completely different from all the known viruses on Earth, and its genetic map outlined a butterfly? What was going on? This was clearly a new type of virus that had just been created!
"This is impossible." Robert Neff's face was ashen as he muttered, "I've seen the original virus with my own eyes. I've also seen the genetic analysis. It's just a modified version of an existing virus. Human technology can't do this. How can there be such a gene? This is simply a joke, alright?! "
"But the virus mutated …" Chu Hao said with a gloomy face.
Robert Neff immediately retorted, "Even if the virus mutated, it should still be made up of the most basic genes. How can there be such a sudden change? This is, this is … This is like a newly created life form created by the Creator. This isn't something that should exist on Earth! "
Chu Hao rubbed his temples and exhaled. Then, he said, "Let's start from the beginning … First of all, a special virus that can cure cancer was created. Let's not talk about who created this special virus first. Of course, I know that you definitely know the researcher who created this special virus. However, due to the special situation of this virus, we can no longer confirm that it was created by her. In short, this special virus was created and then tested on animals. After the animal testing, it was then tested on a clinical trial. This must have taken a long time, right?"
Robert Neff said with certainty, "That's right. This new drug that involves injection into the body can't even be considered a drug. It's a virus. Its review process is very complicated. It might take five to six years or even longer. I don't know the exact time, but even after many people have been tested in clinical trials, the listing of this virus is still in the judicial process. After various tests, it will be listed on the market. It will take a long time."
"This is also a question I had before," Chu Hao continued. In fact, this was also a question he had when he watched the movie.
"After a long period of testing, clinical verification, and so on, the virus didn't mutate for several years because we all know that this virus is also effective on animals. However, it didn't mutate after such a long time. So many cancer patients have undergone clinical tests, but they also didn't mutate. Why did it mutate so violently in such a short time after it was listed on the market? This degree of mutation is far from the mutation of the antibody or the infection method. It's like a completely different virus. The sudden change in such a short period of time, compared to the years before, there was no change at all. With this comparison, we can completely detect the problem. "
"We don't know what happened to the virus during this period. Based on the information we have so far, the biggest possibility is that when the virus was first created, there was an activation code inside it. This code is very likely that when the virus infected a sufficient number of people, it will mutate. Before that, it was dormant. Once the virus began to mutate, the invisible connection mechanism of the virus came into play. The mutated virus will contact the non-mutated virus, just like radiation. In the shortest time possible, all the viruses mutated into this new virus, and this is the basis of the end of the world!"
Robert Neff thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "You mean that a terrorist organization, a cult, or a hostile country created this virus, then wrapped it in a coat to cure cancer, and then caused all this?"
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. Science is different from other things. This is something that needs to be accumulated step by step to progress. Without basic science, basic theory, and related subjects, do you know how many years it will take for Earth's technology to create an artificial life that doesn't rely on the original genes? This is creation. Once it succeeds, humans will be able to create a world of new life just like the Creator. Not to mention other things, humans will need at least a thousand years of progress before it is possible. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes even longer. I don't think there is any organization on Earth that can achieve this. At least under normal circumstances, it is impossible. "
Robert Neff also understood this. He was just mentioning it, so he immediately said, "If that's the case, then who created such a terrifying virus?"
"Aliens, people from the future, superhumans, otherworlders, and other races and civilizations. Who knows? But I'm sure that this virus is definitely not created by humans. At least, it's not something that the humans on this earth can create," Chu Hao thought for a while and answered like this.
Robert Neff was stunned. He said in surprise, "I thought you didn't know how to joke, but you're actually so good at it."
"I'm not joking." Chu Hao said very seriously, "Because other than our human civilization, I really can't think of any organization or individual that can create this virus. Since everything is impossible, only these impossible possibilities can do all of this. I'm telling you this very seriously. Maybe it's an alien invasion, the return of people from the future, a superpower user going berserk, or something like that. Why don't you think of a possibility for me?"
Robert Neff shook his head. After a long time, he said, "Then what should we do now? There is a mysterious connection between viruses. No matter how we change the antidote, it will change. Unless we create an antidote that can be injected or inhaled by all the mutants in the world in an instant, we won't be able to kill the virus without harming the mutants. What should we do now? "
Chu Hao raised his head and looked at the ceiling. After a long time, he said, "Then let's go to the last step and perfect the antidote itself. Since we can't kill the virus at room temperature, we'll carry out our previous plan. We'll use the Ice Age to reduce the global temperature and save the world."
Robert Neff's heart was heavy, but reality had already dealt him a blow, so this time he didn't refute. He just nodded with a heavy expression. After reaching this step, he could perfect the antidote in two days at most, but … the sacrifice was really too big …
On the same day, Robert Neff decided to stop experimenting with the antidote at room temperature and continue to perfect the antidote. That night, while Chu Hao and Robert Neff were still in the laboratory working on the antidote, TIER, who was on duty in the monitoring room, sounded the alarm.
Since everyone came to live in the enclosed area of the research institute, because of the huge gap in the research institute, it was impossible to completely seal it. Therefore, for the sake of safety, in the past ten days, they had placed hundreds of surveillance cameras in the surrounding streets and sewers. Naturally, ordinary people couldn't stare at these surveillance screens all the time, but as a robot, TIER didn't have this problem. He could stare at these screens all night without blinking. As long as there was anything wrong, he would be able to detect it immediately. At this moment, he was the one who sounded the alarm.
"A large number of mutants have been found in the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh streets. The number has reached tens of thousands, and it's still increasing. They're frantically demolishing all the buildings, including tall buildings, small houses, and trees. They're even demolishing refueling stations …"
Everyone was gathered in the surveillance room. Other than Robert Neff, even Chu Hao was there. Everyone was looking at the surveillance screen. They were looking at the countless mutants on the screen as well as the strange things that these mutants were doing. Before the rest of them could figure out what was going on, Chu Hao's face was getting uglier and uglier.
"Now … there's at least four hours until dawn. I hope there's still time …"
Chu Hao looked at his watch, then began to adjust it to a four-hour countdown. He then immediately said to the others, "Starting from the first to the ninth explosion point, activate an explosion point every half an hour. Aoqi, monitor the nearby ground. Tom, I want you to sneak to the ground and find a safe roof. Once you discover a large number of mutants nearby, I want you to immediately lure them away. Try to make as much noise as possible.
Everyone nodded, but their hearts were still filled with curiosity. Billis curiously asked, "Captain, what's going on? What are these mutants doing? You must know what they're doing, right? "
Chu Hao got up and rushed to the research area. When he heard Billis' question, he said without looking back, "They're looking for us! This situation is very dangerous. We have to survive tonight. D * mn it, I should have thought of this earlier … "
Everyone was even more confused. Zhang Heng immediately said, "What's going on? How do they know we're here? And with so many mutants acting together, could it be … there's a traitor among us? "After saying that, he immediately looked at Steri with evil intentions.
"No, it's not a traitor …"
Chu Hao still didn't look back. His face was very pale, and he said in a heavy tone, "It's the virus itself …"
"It's the virus itself that's contacting these mutants and telling them something. Here, we're here …"
"There's something that can kill them in large numbers!"
