Luo Nan's attitude was far too understated. Even though he had already said it twice, the participants still needed to spend some time to digest it.
The core of the problem was undoubtedly the discovery of Stage Two infected.
This point had already been explained very clearly.
But Luo Nan's attitude seemed to be casually stepping over it... Whether it was the common sense of the participants or the cruel reality described by Apollon, Master Bat, and Blood Demon.
Based on what?
Some people had already begun to flip through the information. Then they discovered that Luo Nan wasn't just talking big?
It was on New Year's Eve last year. At that delicate point in time, Xia City did indeed have a relatively serious case of mutated infection. It seemed to be a series of events. In the two months before and after that point in time, Xia City investigated a batch of cases...
Oh, using a batch wasn't quite appropriate. Looking at the information, there were over ten thousand suspected Mutant Infections. The vast majority of them were Stage Two.
Due to various reasons, this matter was handled in a low-key manner. It basically didn't go out of the circle, so many Extraordinaries who were used to coming and going high and low only just noticed this matter. Of course, there were a few people who tried to communicate with Luo Nan a step further.
Vice President Marlon of Headquarters opened his mouth to ask, "Professor Luo, your train of thought is..."
Marlon's question was quite tactful, but Luo Nan didn't have a tacit understanding with him. His understanding was a bit off. "Even though I haven't finished my high school courses, I know that there are many unsolved problems. It's not that it's complicated, it's just that I haven't collected enough samples. Therefore, a census of the entire population is certainly an effective way to solve this problem. "
"I'm talking about the scope."
"Is there any other explanation for a census of the entire population?" Luo Nan spoke as if it were a matter of course. "Of course, it's currently limited to the Earth region. If the scope of the census were to be expanded to the forward operating base in Jupiter's orbit... I can't just sit there on an airship, right?"
Marlon choked.
He finally experienced the legendary feeling of dislocation when interacting with Luo Nan that made one vomit blood.
Next to him, Overlord Secret Contract, who had slowly retreated back to watch the show, finally cast his gaze at Luo Nan. "A census of the entire population is a large project."
Luo Nan just blinked. He didn't speak, allowing this old man to return to the front of the stage.
"… Especially this kind of highly complex detection project. In the absence of direct detection methods, theoretically, it has already exceeded the scope of the census."
"Is that so? Actually, I only have a smattering of knowledge regarding this concept. "Luo Nan acted like a well-behaved student, causing quite a few people to roll their eyes.
The Great Lord of Secret Deed's smile bloomed behind his white beard. "In fact, I have also considered a similar method. I even asked someone to estimate the cost of conducting a national census. The result was not very optimistic.
"Even if we deduct the most important cost of manpower and conduct sampling investigations in certain 'epidemic areas' that are almost unsalvageable to minimize the investment, we will still need at least 250 billion in hardware investment in order to achieve a relatively ideal result."
Great Lord Secret Deed said a number that most people had no idea about. The Extraordinaries in the venue weren't in the majority, but there were still many who raised their eyebrows and curled their lips.
"We need to first build a number of production lines that can supply the corresponding equipment and consumables, and then connect the relevant products into a testing laboratory. This will improve the current worldwide testing capabilities by thousands of times. Even if that's the case, we'll have to wait until the next century at the very least … The next century isn't too far away, but what's certain is that the rate at which the mutated infection spreads will definitely far exceed this' theoretical detection ability '. "
High Lord Secretcontract stared at Luo Nan. "The effects are all from comparison. There's no harm in asking here. How much budget does Professor Luo need? And more importantly, the speed of the testing. How long will it take for the results to come out? This will directly determine the feasibility of the plan. "
"It definitely won't take until the next century. Perhaps by the end of the year …."
"Oh!" Many people in the venue let out gasps of surprise.
There was pure astonishment, and there was doubt. But thinking about Luo Nan's previous performance, it seemed to be within a reasonable range?
"What in the world is this method?" Old Man Ghosteye, an old acquaintance of Luo Nan's, was a veteran psychic adversary. He was once Luo Nan's sparring partner. He was a bit unable to restrain his curiosity and shouted from the back.
Luo Nan didn't explain in detail. He really didn't have a plan right now.
After all, the soul cloak, which used water molecules as the basis for interference, had already been possessed by the magneto-optical mica. Enormous changes had occurred in form and content. It would take some time for him to get used to it.
Luo Nan changed his angle a bit. "I really haven't thought about the budget. I don't have that concept. However, I definitely won't need the scene you're talking about, High Lord. "
"Brother, you must consider expenses when you do things!" Blood Demon chattered from the other side. "Doing projects is burning money. You need start-up funds at the very least, right? You need to fight for funds and sponsorships. Of course, it's great to help others earn money, but it's not easy to get money back. If you have a reliable plan, I can sponsor you first …. "
"It's too troublesome." Luo Nan wasn't being polite. He really felt that it was troublesome.
He didn't think that a global mental sensor network needed any expenses. If it did, it would have already been paid for by his grandfather and parents over the past few decades.
He was just a user and a verifier. He had to do this work well.
Plus, didn't he just earn a sum?
"The auction should still be in progress. It seems that those two cards are quite popular …. Mr. Blood Demon, your creativity is quite good. Speaking of which, even if I give you a portion of the design fee, that sum of money should be enough. "
Luo Nan began to count on his fingers one by one. "If I really want to calculate, I can use this sum of money to rent some supercomputing resources and find a few data analysts. Then I can start working. If the SCA supports a few more people and opens up the database, it might be even more ideal. It's just that the process won't be easy to follow …. Should I establish a fund or something?
This time, it was Blood Demon who choked. Perhaps there were many people present. Blood Demon squeezed out a sentence with great difficulty.
"You're showing off your style …."
Blood Demon's sigh was a bit sarcastic in this sort of atmosphere. As for whether it was Luo Nan or someone else who was being stabbed, it depended on the person.
"Don't tell me I don't want to solve the problem? Since no one can do it better than me, of course I'll take the lead. "
Luo Nan spoke in a manner that seemed to be expected. Coupled with Lord Secretdeed and Blood Demon's intentional or unintentional support, there was no room for others to display their abilities. It was as if this matter, which concerned the fate of Ha City, Tin City, and even the entire Earth, had been decided.
Alarm bells rang in the hearts of many people.
Even though the subsequent course of events was unclear, they instinctively felt that the situation wasn't too good …. People exchanged glances in the venue, and they quickly communicated with one another below the stage.
It wasn't just limited to the participants. There were also all sorts of monsters and demons paying attention to the progress of the conference.
The Black Lion's soul was summoned by Old Ells.
"This is absolutely not good news for you."
"Uh-huh?"
"Before tonight, Luo Nan practically had no influence at all in the field of Mutant. But if he is allowed to do this, he won't need to wait for the time limit he set. As long as he has one or two publicly recognized results, he will be one of the top authorities! What will he do then? "
Old Ells' voice was like a cold wind that lingered in the Black Lion's ears. "Don't tell me he wants your Kingdom of Chaos to exist forever on the African Continent? For what reason? Just because you and him call each other brothers today and have a joyous gathering? See, his intentions are already extremely clear …. "
"You're really lobbying without any regard for your capital, old man. The problem is, how are you going to stop him? Are you going to face an Extraordinary researcher who doesn't need any funding? "
The Black Lion's mouth cracked open, and he laughed to himself. He didn't care even though he seemed rather abrupt in the venue. He just continued to communicate below the stage.
"My suggestion."
"Huh?"
"It's best if you shut your mouth."
The Black Lion's attitude was incomparably sincere. "Right now, you should, and you must, take into account the situation of Researcher Luo slamming on the brakes. With him around, the progress of your aberration gene collection and the difficulty of the bloodline project might not be able to outrun the speed at which your vitality is consumed.
"For a businessman like you, if you make a losing deal with the same person twice in a row, it's probably the legendary road to death."
Old Ells did not continue speaking, but he might not have listened to the Black Lion's advice. This was because at this moment, a new change was transmitted — the news of the uncontrollable aberration infection in Ha City and Tin City had already spread.
Whether it was Apollon or Master Bat, they were only at the venue to make a report and fulfill their obligation to inform others. They would not change anything because of the attitude of the participants.
Outside the virtual venue, the real situation continued to advance.
This news had already spread rapidly in the form of headlines. In a short period of time, it bombarded almost all the information channels in the world and poured into the brains of billions of people.
Just like what was shown at the Summit Conference, different people would have different considerations for the same matter.
Regarding this headline, the major media outlets around the world also adopted different reporting perspectives. At present, the hottest news image was specially forwarded by the conference host, Abner. It came from Ha City.
It was probably in a landmark area of the city. Dense crowds gathered on the streets and squares, listening to the announcement from the city manager.
When the seemingly rigid gentleman announced in a serious tone the news of "giving up on detection and active disposal", hundreds of thousands of citizens screamed crazily …
Cheers!
The camera swayed in such an atmosphere. When it chose to use a close-up view to experience the current atmosphere, there was already a young man who was so excited that his face was distorted. He took the initiative to rush to the front and roared out a slogan.
"Glory to the aberrations, the world belongs to us!"
The crowd behind him was also shouting and roaring. Their words were even simpler, more direct, and more violent.
"Power, power, power!"
Such a sound and scene fell into the ears and eyes of the participants of the Summit Conference, but it was so meaningful.
