Returning to the end of the world before the natural disaster, I emptied the world of supplies

Chapter 392 "Super Soldier"?
Song Haitao looked at Zhang Yongliang calmly, "Old Zhang, continue."

"Have you heard of the word prion before?" Zhang Yongliang looked at the two of them with a serious expression.

Jiang Yan nodded. "I heard that eating two-legged sheep for a long time can cause people to be infected with this virus. It seems that cows with mad cow disease are also infected with this prion."

After the end of the world, there have been reports of people eating two-legged sheep.

She also searched for information online, so she had some understanding of the virus.

"To be precise, prions are not viruses, but a mass of protein," Song Haitao said. "This type of prion protein is highly contagious and pathogenic, and has strong vitality. Ultrasound and high temperatures of 160-170 degrees cannot kill it."

Jiang Yan didn't expect that Song Haitao, who majored in aerospace, could speak so professionally.

She had a sudden thought, "Doctor Zhang, the catastrophe you are worried about, is it because you are afraid that all those who ate the two-legged sheep will turn into zombies in the future?"

Of course, the zombies she was talking about were not the kind in movies or novels.

The two old men listened to her words and couldn't help laughing with serious expressions.

But soon, Zhang Yongliang's face became serious:
"From a scientific research perspective, people or animals infected with prions will have their brains become hollow, their limbs become unbalanced, and they will attack their own kind. They are indeed very similar to zombies, but they don't have crystal cores.

Plus, the incubation period for this virus is one year.”

"If they were simply infected with prions, these people would at most be left to fend for themselves. But I heard you say that someone in Yunding Building injected viruses and hormones into people, and then these people were disassembled. It is very likely that they were used for other research."

That is to say, during the one-year incubation period of the virus, it is very likely to undergo secondary or multiple transformations and evolutions.

These people who have been injected with hormones and viruses are more like some kind of human petri dishes, perhaps for the purpose of producing extracted proteases or something else.

It is similar to using the characteristics of prions to create people who are insensitive to pain, can withstand high temperatures, etc., but can obey specific commands.

After all, given the emergence of mutated animals such as snow wolves in recent times, it is not impossible to create such people.

Jiang Yan had watched a lot of science fiction movies, "Something like Super Soldier?"

Song Haitao raised his eyebrows, "Yes."

"Not only can we create super soldiers, but these soldiers can also quickly infect each other." Zhang Yongliang finished speaking and sighed, "That's why I said that the human race is likely to be finished."

Jiang Yan was puzzled. "But even if they can withstand high temperatures and attack, they are not well-trained people after all. At most, they are human shields. In front of human high-tech weapons, there is nothing to be afraid of, right?"

"So, what's the point of them doing this?"

"After all, human high-tech weapons are in the hands of a few people. Moreover, now it's basically a matter of who has more bullets. Weapons and bullets will run out one day before the industry recovers." Song Haitao didn't keep anyone in suspense and continued:
"So I guess they want to seize the remaining resources in advance."

"In other words, you divide us and the hostile forces into two factions, and then, once we clarify their respective goals, you will understand clearly." Song Haitao suggested.

Jiang Yan felt like her brain's CPU was burning out:
"Therefore, our primary goal is to find the great power's heavy weapons and collect these materials. At the same time, we must also destroy the natural disaster laboratory on the basis of having these materials, especially the supporting equipment for rocket launch, to ensure that the natural disaster can end as soon as possible.

Third, try to go to Mars and find a place more suitable for human survival.”

"Yes. The other party's goal is, first of all, to use the entire planet and all of humanity as a natural disaster testing ground, so as to obtain the evolutionary results they want.

The second is to destroy all forces that oppose them, and at the same time, they will also look for or snatch these great weapons and scientists, just like us. After all, this natural disaster has caused the entire human science and technology to stagnate and regress for dozens or hundreds of years.

But if these great weapons are there, then their research on the future can be shortened by hundreds of years. As for the third, even if the plan to migrate to Mars fails in the end, after experiencing these natural disasters, the resources on our planet will only become less and less. If they do this in advance, they can seize the resources in advance.

Whether our planet is the green mountains and clear waters of the past, or becomes a doomsday wasteland after these natural disasters in the future, resources are often concentrated in the hands of a few people. "

"Yes, the logic of Dr. Song's analysis is very clear. I know this is the case, but I may not be able to explain it so clearly." Zhang Yongliang said modestly.

Jiang Yan seemed to understand, but not quite.

Song Haitao: "So, Xiao Jiang, we have to work hard to survive, especially you and Ye Qing."

"It's a pity that these are just my guesses. It would be great if I could know what's inside the bodies of these people they feed." Zhang Yongliang's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously punched his right leg with his fist, "However, there's a high probability that I won't be able to see it."

There was a certain pessimism in his words.

Jiang Yan knew what they were worried about. "Doctor, we will be fine. And we will definitely be able to reach the observatory smoothly tomorrow."

She didn't say anything about taking the two-legged sheep sample.

After all, in a situation like this, it would be quite scary to take out a bunch of bloody severed hands and feet.

The key is the lack of testing equipment.

No matter how experienced and capable Zhang Yongliang is, it is impossible for him to distinguish the hormones and viruses inside with the naked eye.

Seeing Jiang Yan's confident look, Zhang Yongliang's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he smiled:

"Well, that's right, Old Song. You and I are both half-dead, yet we are so timid. Logically, we should give confidence to the younger generation, but we are regressing as we grow older. Sorry, sorry."

Song Haitao glared at him and said, "I am different from you. I will try my best to survive."

Zhang Yongliang said sourly, "Ahem, you have flown fighter jets and been to space. You have a strong body and are still strong despite your age. I have skinny arms and legs, so I can't compare with you."

"Old Zhang, why do I feel like you're cursing me by saying 'you've been to heaven'?"

"Let Xiao Jiang judge for himself. I'm telling the truth." Zhang Yongliang touched his nose and asked Jiang Yan for help aggrievedly.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to comfort the two of them, there was a knock on the door.

"Jiang Yan, are you feeling better?" It was Song Qian and Ye Qing.

She got up and opened the door.

"Dr. Song, Dr. Zhang."

"Xiao Jiang, go and get busy." Song Haitao and Zhang Yongliang had finished talking to Jiang Yan about what they wanted to say.

"Okay, you should go to bed early too. Leave tomorrow's trip to the observatory to us." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she and Song Qianye Qing walked towards the armory.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I just put those sleds I mentioned on the ground early tomorrow morning?"

Some of the content has scientific basis, but some of it is purely temporary imagination and has no logic. Please don't take it seriously, hahahaha
