Chapter 283 Appears
Seeing Sun Hang's car approaching, two soldiers ran over quickly - Sun Hang noticed from the corner of his vision that except for the two of them, the other soldiers subconsciously put their right fingers on the trigger guard. above.
Sun Hang couldn't help but curl his lips... Is the situation already tense to this extent?
"Please show me your ID!" The two soldiers approaching stopped the car with their hands.
Sun Hang was about to touch the hunter's license when a familiar figure quickly ran down the steps at the entrance of the research institute. It was Song Yarong who was wearing a dirty white coat. She wore a one-eyed eyepatch and a silver-white patch on the back of her head. The high ponytail swung widely as the body rose and fell.
"Why are you two here? Everyone is waiting for you!" Song Yarong shouted loudly.
"I ran a small errand along the way." Sun Hang said. He glanced at the blood stains on his clothes and said calmly.
"Hurry!" Song Yarong said, "Just leave the car to them. Come up with me quickly, time is tight!"
"What's the matter, so urgent?" Sun Hang got out of the car and threw the keys to the two soldiers, "Is Tianfu City going to explode?"
"Just think that Tianfu City is about to explode." Song Yarong turned around hurriedly and led the two of them to run towards the gate.
"Ah? What's going on?" Sun Hang asked.
"You'll understand later!" Song Yarong said.
……
Tianfu City Monster Research Institute, Combat Conference Room No. 1.
The last time Sun Hang saw so many people gathered was during the invasion of Longyan Barrier, and now, the atmosphere in the conference room was far more serious than that time.
"I'm not late, am I?" Sun Hang glanced around. In addition to those old faces, there were many new faces sitting in the front row. Among these new faces, many of them had stars on their shoulders. The five of them, and the remaining ones who were not wearing uniforms, all had an aura of being in high positions all year round and not angry.
Yang Qi and the old director in a wheelchair stood in front of a huge projection screen. The former was about to say something to Sun Hang, but the latter's eyes indicated that he had to swallow the words that had reached his throat and turned around. He coughed twice and turned on the microphone clipped to his collar.
"Now that everyone is here, the third 'Chimera No. 17 Combat Countermeasures Meeting' has officially begun." Yang Qi said.
"Chimera No. 17? The third combat meeting?" After hearing these words, Sun Hang felt a little confused, "What happened during my absence? Chimera showed up on No. 17 ”
"Yes, not only did you show up, but there was also a lot of movement." Song Yarong, who was standing nearby, explained to Sun Hang in a low voice, "On the second day after you disappeared, two hundred kilometers north of Tianfu City, someone appeared out of thin air. An oval object with a height of more than 400 meters and a diameter of nearly 150 meters at its widest point, emitting milky white fluorescence. The body is erected outside the countryside, and its shape is very similar to the eggs of termites... According to the investigation results of the advance team, some of the memetic fragments of the egg-shaped object completely overlap with those of Chimera No. 17, and it can basically be identified as the egg that was previously found in the countryside. The mysterious creature 'Chimera No. 17' has caused many attacks in Tianfu City."
So, Anna lured her away from Tianfu City to avoid Chimera No. 17?
Sun Hang looked towards the projection screen and saw a huge "white insect egg" appearing on the screen, standing vertically on the wasteland. The milky white fluorescence emitted almost illuminated hundreds of meters in radius. During the day - around this "white insect egg", there were obvious traces of vitrification on the ground.
"This ground...have they bombed it with a nuclear bomb?" Sun Hang asked.
"Yes, after confirming that the mysterious object was the 'Chimera 17', the Disaster Management Committee applied to the federal government for a nuclear strike, and four tactical nuclear warheads with a total yield of 60,000 tons hit it accurately." Song Yarong said, "But, just like you As seen in the picture, the strange object was intact during the nuclear explosion. Not only that, according to the later detection results, it seemed to have absorbed the radiation energy generated by the nuclear explosion. Compared with before the nuclear explosion, its memetic intensity increased. At least 30%.”
Four tactical nuclear warheads with a yield of 60,000 tons...
Although it is prefixed with the word "tactics", the power of this single nuclear warhead with an yield of 15,000 tons is already very terrifying... You know, the "Little Boy" detonated on an island country that year was only It’s just the equivalent of 20,000 tons.
"Not only that, its meme strength is still rising... According to the analysis of Tianshu Tower, Chimera No. 17 is not in a complete state now, but a 'pupa form' similar to 'complete metamorphosis', and we The huge white egg-shaped thing you see now is the 'cocoon' used to protect itself," Song Yarong said.
"Since it is a 'cocoon', when will it 'break out of the cocoon'?" Sun Hang asked.
"According to the current speed of enhancement, it is estimated that the time for 'breaking out of the cocoon' will be forty-one days later." Yang Qi, who was explaining in front of the projection screen, just answered this question for Song Yarong, "According to Tianshu Tower's calculations, Chimera Seventeen Once the trumpet breaks out of its cocoon, its strength may be infinitely close to the original primary monster. Therefore, we must kill it in this form within these forty-one days!”
"Forty-one days... I always feel like I have plenty of time." Sun Hang said.
"It's not generous at all." Song Yarong shook her head, "None of our existing weapons can cause effective damage to it... Moreover, as Chimera No. 17 continues to become stronger, the opportunities left to us will become more and more Less.”
"Even if this thing can absorb a nuclear explosion, as long as the nuclear explosion is powerful enough, it can always explode, right? I remember that the Siberian Federation doesn't have a super hydrogen bomb called the 'Tsar Bomb' or the 'Big Ivan' ? Throw that thing down, I don’t believe it can absorb it all.
"If Great Ivan is detonated at this location, the entire Tianfu City... no, most of Shuzhou will be razed to the ground." Song Yarong said.
"Didn't that leave 41 days to evacuate the people?" Sun Hang asked. "Evacuate all people from Shuzhou, abandon the city, and drop hydrogen bombs... This is almost the same as directly abandoning the Shuzhou area." Zhulong walked behind Sun Hang and sighed, "This is the last resort. By then, Even if we kill the monsters, we will only get a large wasteland, which is no different from the fall of Shuzhou.”
"In fact, preparations for the evacuation of the people have already begun, but this method will only be used as a last resort." Song Yarong said, "The superiors still hope to save Shuzhou... Losing Shuzhou, for For the Federation, it is a very painful blow.”
"So, are those big shots sitting on expensive chairs planning to let us kill this thing with our lives?" Sun Hang asked unhappily.
"If human lives could kill this weird thing, they wouldn't hesitate at all." Song Yarong shook her head helplessly, "But it can't be... Even a 60,000-ton nuclear warhead can't damage it at all. Ordinary hunters I’m afraid the same goes for attacks.”
"What about the solution?" As soon as Sun Hang asked, Yang Qi said to everyone present: "The only solution we can think of at the moment is the 'Pesticide Plan'."
"Insecticide plan?" Sun Hang was slightly startled - not only him, but even the big guys sitting in the front row showed puzzled looks and whispered among themselves.
"The so-called 'insecticide plan' is to find a way to tear a hole in the 'cocoon' of Chimera No. 17, and then insert a specially made 'insecticide' into its body——"
< br>
Before Yang Qi finished speaking, a person with the rank of major general interrupted her.
"Excuse me, what is the 'special insecticide' you are talking about?"
"A super large dose of 'Antimemetic Potion'." Yang Qi said word by word.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If we were to say what the greatest invention of this century is, if the "Antimemetic Potion" ranks second, then I'm afraid nothing would dare to call itself the first.
If it were not for the successful development of the "Antimemetic Potion", the current Federation would probably be filled with quarantine towns and quarantine zones like Maoyun Town. People would be full of suspicion, and wars between city-states would be about to break out... …It doesn’t even require a large-scale invasion of monsters. Humanity will probably perish on its own in an endless civil war.
"Antimemetic medicine" is also known as "broad-spectrum monster vaccine" and "trick virus targeted drug". Its principle is to reverse engineer those memetic fragments that have a high frequency of occurrence in a variety of monsters. After editing, the "medicine" is produced.
It is said to be a drug, but in fact this thing is closer to a "vaccine" - this thing cannot completely remove the memes from the infected person, but it can completely neutralize the memes in the early stages of invading the human body. It was precisely thanks to the "Antimemetic Potion" that the contagiousness of memes was greatly reduced, allowing human civilization to defend the last territory of Xiazhou during the first large-scale invasion of strange creatures.
It’s not that no one has imagined using this “antimemetic agent” in the field of weapons to fight against monsters – in fact, the “Special Ammunition Lihuo” developed by Professor Deng was developed based on this idea... But If you want to use antimemetic agents as weapons, there are several technical difficulties that are extremely difficult to overcome.
First, the "Antimemetic Potion" must be made and used immediately, and its "shelf life" is extremely short. As a weapon, this is obviously unqualified... No one can predict when such a weapon will be needed, and making it in advance is difficult. It will cause a huge waste of resources.
Second, although the "Antimemetic Potion" can neutralize the memes of monsters, it can only neutralize the part that is consistent with it, and cannot completely kill the monsters, just like "Lihuo" can deal with Bingsi Ninety-nine, but it has little effect on Chimera No. 17 - it works well as a vaccine and inhibitor, but as a "disinfectant" and "specific drug", its role is very limited.
Third, and this is the most important point, the production volume of "Antimemetic Potion" is not very high. Under the current situation of the federal situation stabilizing, there are only a few "Antimemetic Potion" directly under Tianshu Tower. The special factory has the ability to produce it, but it is a bit too luxurious to use it as a weapon.
"Antimemetic potion...how do you plan to implement this plan?" Perhaps with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, the major general did not directly veto Yang Qi's battle plan, which sounded like it had a low success rate. , but continued to ask.
"First of all, I need a team of hunters who are elite enough to get close to Chimera No. 17 to obtain as complete a meme fragment as possible. Secondly, I need a team with enough experience in meme reverse editing engineering to convert Chimera No. 17's meme is reverse-edited. Furthermore, after the development of the 'insecticide' is completed, we still have to find a way to break it. Chimera No. 17's protective shell, that is, this giant white cocoon, injects 'insecticide' into its core... This may not necessarily kill it directly, but it can definitely trap its memes. On the verge of collapse - finally, use heavy firepower to saturate it and kill it!" Yang Qi said quickly but clearly.
"What do you think the success rate of this plan is?" asked another boss.
"Fifty percent." Yang Qi's eyes were firm, "It will work, or it won't work."
"As long as the success rate is not zero, it is worth trying." The major general who asked the question earlier said, "But what I care about more is the time... Forty-one days, I have enough time to complete the steps you mentioned. ”
"We contacted Tianshu Tower's top team responsible for the meme reverse editing project. In addition to them, the team left behind by Professor Deng Yi will also come to Tianfu City overnight - these two groups can be said to be the most powerful among all mankind. The most knowledgeable expert on meme reverse editing.” Yang Qi said, "They told me that with the complexity of Chimera No. 17's meme, it might take more than ten years to complete 100% reverse engineering, but it would take a month to complete 70% of the reverse engineering. That’s enough!”
"One month...that is to say, we only have eleven days to complete the steps of meme sampling and injecting 'insecticide'." The lieutenant general's tone was a little heavy, "Moreover, injecting 'insecticide' The first step must be carried out after the meme reverse engineering is completed. Are you sure that we will still be able to break the 'cocoon' of Chimera No. 17 by then? ”
"About this issue... I choose to trust our hunter." Yang Qi raised her head, looking past the people in the conference room and resting on Sun Hang.
Many people sitting in the front row also turned their heads and looked at Sun Hang.
"I suggest you not to have too high expectations for me." Sun Hang flattened his mouth, "You don't think... my attack strength is comparable to a 60,000-ton nuclear weapon, do you?"
"Not just you, there are many hunters who will come to Tianfu City to support... You don't need to completely destroy the cocoon of 'Chimera No. 17', you just need to tear a small hole in this 'cocoon', A hole big enough for the insecticide to enter is enough!" Yang Qi said.
