The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 628 Election campaign and roundworm

   Parasites

  The largest and most staid class of large pathogens in the Old World,

  Different from pathogens in the microcosm of bacteria and viruses, parasites tend to be larger in size and maintain autonomy and independence.

  Bacteria such as Aerobacillus infestans, Tetradella ichthyosiformis, etc., or epilepsy virus in the virus world, blood plague virus, etc., will form a perfect whole after infecting an individual, that is, the "patient".

   There is no such thing as a so-called host and a pathogen separately.

  Parasites are different. Most of them can be incorporated into the macroscopic world, and even some mutated super-large mimic parasites can move freely like humans.

  Mahart J. Nash, the active deputy actor of the Circus of Fear, is such a super-large amoeba brainworm, which directly imitates the appearance of an adult without parasitic infection, and is even far stronger than its peers.

  Parasites care a lot about autonomy,

  Strictly distinguish the concepts of "self" and "host", and they often even use other sick people as hosts... In the early days of the Old World, parasites were more criticized by the sick than the blood folk.

  In order to control the proliferation of parasites and wanton parasitism,

  The center of the old world sent a direct signal to a large number of parasites who had reached the silver circle level, allowing them to participate in a special selection contest located in the core of the world.

  Select the most powerful person from among them as the [Plague Lord], and establish a source of epidemic area to integrate different types of parasites, restrain and control them, and be managed by this plague master.

  Any parasite who disobeys discipline will be wanted and killed.

  Because all the different types of parasites are integrated together, the source of the epidemic is called the 'general nest'.

  The parasites living in the general nest cannot choose the host arbitrarily like before, but their yearning for the host, this instinctive impulse cannot be suppressed.

  So he began to study biotechnology, and even hired epileptics at a 'high price' to help, and finally realized the technology of producing hosts within the general nest.

   "Host production" is unstable, and unqualified hosts will be thrown directly into the garbage station for disposal.

  However, there is a very low probability that a host with excellent values ​​will appear, which is called a "perfect container". Such a host will naturally be coveted by a large number of parasites.

  When the perfect container appears, the general nest will hold an event called 'campaign',

  Put all the registered parasites into the container within the acceptable range, and use the body of the host as the battlefield, and the parasites that survive in the end are eligible to occupy the container.

  This campaign model worked extremely well, and soon a group of real strongmen appeared in the main nest, and created groups equivalent to the "Tumor Knights", "Crimson Nobles", and "Skin Apostles".

  Even though the original intention of the establishment of [Parasitic Hive] was to integrate and control parasites, and its establishment time was later than that of the major epidemic areas, it caught up in a short period of time through such biotechnology and campaign mechanisms.

   It occupies the third position in the comprehensive list of epidemic source areas all the year round.

  Currently,

  【Black Ascaris Company】It is based on the "campaign" of the general nest, combined with modern biotechnology to obtain a selection experiment called "Ascaris".

   It’s just that experiments are fundamentally different from campaigns.

  The roundworm experiment will not erase the consciousness of the participant, that is, the self-awareness of the container.

  As long as the container itself is strong enough, it can even still occupy the dominance of the body after the experiment is over, and use the parasite obtained from raising Gu in the body as an auxiliary body to become a real "perfect parasite" for the headquarters.

   This is exactly the answer given by President Bourne as "Hallnest",

  In his opinion, containers are definitely not props. Only by the joint development of parasites and containers can they break through the shackles of ancient times, allowing the parasite group to go further and to a higher level.

  The black round company can quickly rise to become the second largest transfer company, and the role of this concept cannot be ignored.

in addition,

  The subjects of roundworm experiments are often 'outsiders' from the branch. After making a lot of contributions to the company and gaining the attention of the headquarters, they will receive a special invitation card.

  After arriving at the headquarters, the external staff will go through a series of inspections and be informed of the relevant rules of the roundworm experiment.

  Once the experiment is passed with a high completion rate, the individual will be directly promoted to a reserve cadre of the headquarters, and will work directly with the boss in the future.

  Now, President Byrne has given this authority to a client who has no direct relationship with the company's business. It mainly values ​​William's personal talent. As long as a parasite can be implanted in William's body with the help of the "roundworm experiment", an inseparable relationship will be established between him and the company.

  Although William will not stay here to work, but at a certain point in the future, he will definitely contact again, and even have a deeper cooperation.

   "Let me see your performance... How can an outsider without any parasitic experience withstand the new parasites cultivated by our company, and how complete this experiment can be."

  …

  In a hemispherical laboratory of 1,000 square meters.

  Passing the initial inspection with full marks, William, who was absolutely fasting, walked to the middle of the laboratory naked, standing inside the circle marked by white lines.

  The top of the laboratory is opened in a circular shape

  A bloated and round biological mother slowly descended, and more than 10 million "parasite eggs" specially cultivated by the headquarters of the black roundworm were conceived in the belly of 'her'.

   Creak creak creak creak ~ biological tubes grow from the division of the mother body,

   Standing below, William didn’t feel any nervousness, fear, or anxiety. Instead, he immediately stretched out his arms and relaxed his body, allowing more than fifty hose spikes to be inserted into his body, even the back of his head.

  Egg bodies were injected, and at the same time, a biological fluid was attached to distribute the parasite eggs to different areas of William's body.

  Due to William's perfect cooperation, the implantation process was completed in just half an hour. The infused parent had shrunk and was quickly removed and the laboratory sealed off.

   The next ten days are waiting and observation. If necessary, the parasites in William's body will be stimulated by sound, light source, smell, etc., making them violent and violent.

   Another half hour passed,

  The eggs in the body hatched one after another, and the larvae broke out one after another. Feeling this warm and humid new environment, they opened their mouths to eat William's flesh and blood as their first meal in life.

  The above processes are fully captured by the biological monitors arranged in the laboratory and presented to the researchers in the observation room.

  An experimenter in charge of observation said excitedly:

"The subject is in excellent condition. The hatching of all larvae was completed an hour earlier, and the survival rate is as high as 99.7%! It is the best in history... The subject's body is like a perfect container, very suitable for the growth of parasites. "

  "The subject's various body indexes did not change before and after hatching, and there was not even any negative emotional feedback. The strength and adaptability of the body exceeded our definition of the container."

  William in the laboratory didn't move around, nor did he have any worries about his body.

  He chose to sit cross-legged inside the circle, meditate with his eyes closed, and his body even slowly floated in the process.

  【After three hours】

  A special researcher accidentally discovered a subtle anomaly in the monitoring screen that was not easy to notice, and picked up a pen and paper to check the calculations, and finally got an amazing piece of information.

   "Report! The larvae in the subject's body are undergoing some kind of high-order regular movement without any mental influence or media traction.

  They circle periodically around the 'hole' in the subject's abdomen.

Although the parasites in different areas move at different speeds, they all follow a (cube of the semi-major axis of the ellipse formed by roundworms crawling around the abdominal cavity for a week) / T (the square of the circle period of roundworms) = k (constant ) of this formula. "

  When the researcher made this conclusion, other researchers quickly followed up and verified its correctness.

  At the same time, they adjusted the monitoring screen to erase William's physical images as much as possible, keeping only the images of the parasite and the abyss in the abdomen.

  The picture obtained shocked everyone, including President Bourne,

   This is not like observing the human body at all, it is more like observing a complex cosmic astrology...

   Time passed day by day,

  The deathmatch that the roundworm experiment wanted to achieve and the sole winner has not happened for a long time, not even a single death case.

  All parasites perform periodic movements without interfering with each other.

  When they were moving around the abyss, William's body would also give them basic nutrients to keep them alive.

  The roundworm experiment is developing in a direction beyond the experiment itself...

  President Bourne has even pushed down unimportant meetings these days, and has been watching all this in the observation room almost all day long.

   Xiao Afei is resting at home with a cold, and I have to take her with me and ask for code words. It is a little later, I am really sorry
