No, I just wanted to ask about Rui Wen.
But now you've changed the topic.
Luo Nan wasn't sure if Blood Demon had truly misunderstood, or if it was intentional.
At a time like this, listening more and talking less was correct, but it was hard to understand without a head or tail. Luo Nan added vaguely, "You can help me sort out the clues."
Blood Demon gladly agreed, "There are some things I need to ponder over. The Deep Blue Project has been in development for less than a decade. The related products come one generation after another. The military's similar self-research projects are suppressed to the point where they can't lift their heads. The Bloodline Project was established a generation earlier than Deep Blue. Not a single reliable rumor has leaked out, but there are still people madly pouring money into it. "
"As far as I know, similar projects that are unrelated to the Apocalypse Laboratory have received less and less sponsorship in recent years. Especially the funding from the top circles of the rich and powerful. Oh my, it's truly a tragic sight.
"What does this mean?"
It means that your investment has failed...
Luo Nan responded in his mind for the first time, but he remained silent in reality.
The Blood Demon didn't have the ability of Telepathy. He continued, "Is it because those rich people who have buried their necks in the soil are staking it all on one throw? Do they trust Li Wei that much? Do they trust this highly dangerous fellow of unknown origin? I can believe that one person is retarded, but all of them are retarded. It's better to believe that Li Wei has cast a collective curse on them. "
Luo Nan felt that Blood Demon could be a bit more direct. "So?"
"Brother, you need to know that Li Wei is a fellow who is very good at persuading people. He is the expert who knows how to fight for research funding! He's on a completely different level than those great hoodwinkers who are used to using PowerPoint to tell stories. He's much better at using facts. At the very least, the salivating prospects that are based on a partial truth to convince people. "
The Li Wei that Blood Demon spoke of sounded more like the boss of a school.
Luo Nan's lips twitched. "So, the results of the Bloodline Project have already been placed before those people's eyes. They have obtained approval. Yes, they should have achieved extraordinary success..."
Luo Nan's mind suddenly stirred when he said the word 'extraordinary'. A few faintly discernible figures quickly flashed through his mind, but his mouth didn't pause.
"If you want to prove your success, you have to do it in a circle that's neither too big nor too small. Success itself needs some fame, but you have to do it discreetly. Most of the time, you have to change your appearance … It's still success, but what they think of as success is different from what we think of as success.
"In the end, the bloodline project is a project to study people. Its most convincing results are also people!"
Such as Rui Wen …
Luo Nan's understanding of the Bloodline Project suddenly deepened by a level as he thought back to the matter of the two-thousandth young miss.
That was how it was strung together.
No wonder the Blood Demon kept mentioning 'names' after he suspected that there was a misunderstanding. It was true that only the names that were deeply related to the bloodline project could prove the real value of the bloodline project.
If he added the keywords that caused the Blood Demon's' misunderstanding '— Ha City, which famous person in Ha City?
Forgive Luo Nan for his shallow knowledge, but he only knew of one person.
Apollyon.
The one who was publicly acknowledged as one of the 16 strongest Extraordinaries, the one who dominated the New Continent, and the one who formed a restrictive contract with the High Lord of the Secret Contract, was actually related to the Bloodline Project?
In that case, what was the purpose of High Lord Secret Contract's challenge?
The background behind the scenes was much more complicated than what he knew!
Luo Nan couldn't figure it out for a time. Naturally, he had to ask again.
But there was no need to mention Apollyon's name at this time. The main thing was that he could feel that the name Blood Demon spoke of was not singular, but plural. So he might as well speak a bit more openly.
"Mr. Blood Demon, I'll ask you this. There are less than a hundred Extraordinaries standing at the apex of the world right now. How many of them are related to the Bloodline Project …. Or perhaps they were released by the Apocalypse Laboratory?"
These words lingered in Luo Nan's chest. Luo Nan's mind was truly awed when he actually said them.
Li Wei's influence on Earth had already reached such a deep level?
It was probably because Blood Demon had long since made up his mind. Luo Nan just laughed out loud when he pointed it out. "From what I'm saying, anyone who is close to the Apocalypse Laboratory and Li Wei is a suspect. There's no need to talk about Wang Yong that day on the ship. It's possible that Tu Ge …. "
Thousands of miles away, Luo Nan shook his head slightly when Blood Demon spoke of Tu Ge. But he didn't interrupt Blood Demon's words. Luo Nan continued to listen.
"A bit more extreme. After Li Wei took control of the Deep Blue World and established the Apocalypse Laboratory, any Extraordinaries who are close to him are suspects. After all, the Extraordinaries have only appeared for thirty years or so from the time they have grown to their current scale. It's not a short time, but it's far too fast when it comes to the level of human evolution. It's so fast that it feels unreal …. It would be a bit easier for me to accept if someone was manipulating things from behind. "
This sort of thinking was really hard to accept, right?
Especially when you're an Extraordinary.
Luo Nan's eyebrows jumped. This fellow Blood Demon seemed to have a carefree and uninhibited appearance, but his mind was unexpectedly a bit dark!
"You're quite confident in Li Wei."
"No. I just hope that you can take things a step further before you go to Ha City. After all, the entire world knows that you're competing with Li Wei …. You can't not understand the weight on the other side before you go to the boxing stage, right?"
Blood Demon spoke in a candid manner, "We can be considered to be on the same side right now. I have to do a bit of a reminder."
"A reminder that Li Wei's energy is beyond imagination?" Luo Nan grew more and more suspicious that Blood Demon's misunderstanding today was intentional. This fellow seemed to have been waiting for such an opportunity.
Blood Demon chuckled, "Speaking of energy, I've thought of another example. You should know that the situation here isn't too good. "
"Yes, I know."
Though Luo Nan resided in Xia City, he was constantly paying attention to Ha City, the center of the storm of the mutant infection outbreak. He was even secretly drawing portraits of the large quantities of mutant infected people in the city, establishing a model for the step selection of Phase 2 infected people. Plus, he had gathered all sorts of news and intelligence reports. His understanding of Ha City was no less than anyone else's.
"You understand the situation of Phase 2 and Phase 3 as well?"
"It's very troublesome." Luo Nan responded simply. He searched for two more keywords, "Riots. Lack of food."
"Yeah. Lack of food." Blood Demon chuckled.
In modern society, words like 'lack of food' or the more serious term 'famine' seemed to be extremely far away. But in Ha City right now, these words went from pure concepts to gradually becoming reality.
Due to the mutant infection being completely out of control, the number of infected people in Ha City increased explosively. There were also large amounts of highly dangerous people who were transforming from Phase 2 to Phase 3.
The mutant process of these people was already irreversible. Their primordial genes had collapsed and mutated. They were rapidly transforming in the direction of mutant species. This transformation process was extremely fast, and it involved a mutation on the fleshly plane. It was necessary to absorb large amounts of squandered energy in a short period of time.
Such an energy requirement was destined to be impossible to satisfy with three normal meals a day.
Therefore, the infected in this stage would transform into the craziest of predators. Under the drive of chaotic and manic emotions, they would seize all resources that they could use … … Things that could be edible and digestible were included.
From ordinary food to other fleshly creatures, including people.
In a normal city, the appearance of one or two infected people like this could lead to a series of bloody cases. And in today's Ha City, there were far more than one or two hundred or even one or two thousand infected people!
Thus, riots, massacres, and even famines emerged as the times required … … Mutant conversion was an inefficient energy intake method that relied on probability. It would inevitably lead to a large amount of waste. In addition to the influence of social unrest, Ha City's basic mode of existence as a modern metropolis had nearly completely collapsed.
Luo Nan was recalling and also monitoring Ha City's situation in real time. "If Ha City continues to be in this state, the aid will not be able to keep up. It will be hard to avoid a great famine. However, the current situation is more of a temporary phenomenon caused by accidents, right? "
There was no need for secret intelligence. Right now, a few conservative news channels were reporting over and over again. Ha City's largest cultivation buildings had caught fire and exploded due to the effects of the riots. The energy supply lines were destroyed, and a considerable portion of the food that was about to be harvested and sold on the market was destroyed. This caused the price of food in the city to skyrocket. The citizens were panic-stricken and panic-stricken. Bread was hard to find.
"Let's not discuss' lack of food 'or' famine 'today." Blood Demon chuckled twice. "The example I'm looking for is actually the cultivation buildings."
"Oh?"
"You know that the cultivation buildings were one of the most important foundational supports for several dozen large metropolises to be built after World War III. Right now, the world's population of ten billion has already recovered to the level it was before World War III … …. The population of ten billion before World War III was basically the limit that the world could bear. After World War III, the world's arable land area exploded from 17 million square kilometers to 1.7 million square kilometers. Under these circumstances, the world was able to support the same number of people even though it had shrunk by ninety percent.
"That's right." Luo Nan knew this knowledge since he was in elementary school. The cultivation buildings were undoubtedly the crystallization of the world's agricultural, chemical, and energy technologies that advanced by leaps and bounds. It was also a necessary test point for geography or biology tests.
Blood Demon suddenly asked, "What is the essence of the cultivation buildings?"
Luo Nan answered without hesitation, "Energy in exchange for output."
"Where does energy come from?"
"Fusion reactors."
"Where does fusion reactors come from?"
"From … …" Luo Nan was suddenly stuck. He didn't continue for a time.
Blood Demon continued to ask him, unwilling to let him go. "Where does fusion reactors come from? Who holds the technology patents? Why is it that before World War III, the practical application of fusion reactors was always fifty years later? Why did this technology suddenly mature after the war when everything was in ruins? It went from practical application to miniaturization in one go? "
Luo Nan couldn't answer.
Blood Demon still didn't give up. "At present, fusion reactors still use magnetic confinement fusion technology. Room temperature superconductors must be used to form an ultra-strong magnetic field. Where does this special, cutting-edge material come from?"
"...... Okay. Where?" Luo Nan asked, knowing the answer.
Blood Demon's answer was nothing new. "Deep Blue World. Li Wei's side."
