Cyber Heroes

"Infection No. 1" is indeed a title that did not exist during Xiangshan's lifetime.

In Xiangshan's memory, there was indeed an incident that caused... "serious consequences" due to genetic weapons.

But that incident... may be called a "mass extinction". It will indeed cause widespread species extinction, but it is not unreliable to reverse it manually.

For Xiangshan, this is not “a point taken from a history book that requires special memory.” For him, "chivalrous war" is a continuous process, and the node that was later called "Infection No. 1" was just a part of this continuous process.

Perhaps it had a profound impact on later generations. But at the time, it was just one insignificant event in a long line of events.

And Xiangshan was very convinced that when he was alive (or when Martial Ancestor Xiangshan himself was alive), this was an event that could be reversed by human power.

"But you have to admit, it must have had an extremely far-reaching impact." Xiangshan's eyes were confused for a moment, and "Xiao Ba" actually brushed out from behind Jadel. He put his hand on Jader's shoulder and said to the natives what only they could hear: "Listen to this silly little brother. This is something even more extreme than the Permian mass extinction."

"Is there any?"

"The Permian mass extinction wiped out 96% of species on the earth, but at least 4% of species have survived intact." Xiaoba pointed to the ground, "Look at our feet , the other me, now even the fungi have alien genes that we got."

"But in my time... Tsk, incomplete memory is quite troublesome." Yuan Yuan sighed: "There were indeed some idiots who used genetic weapons, which caused bad consequences. But that can obviously be reversed."

"A natural disaster that was originally preventable and controllable became irreversible when it encountered a man-made disaster. How novel." Xiaoba said, "Otherwise, there is nothing new under the sun."

Xiang Shan was confused for a moment again.

Yuan Yuan asked: "This matter can be undone until the end of the Chivalrous War, or even during the Sublimation War... Well..."

——No, that's not right.

"This is actually a very strange place." Xiaoba analyzed, "There is no need for the thief of the country to use genetic weapons, because the knights are all fully prosthetic warriors. The opposite is also true. The thief of the country is in the outside world. The 'terminal' was either completely prosthetic or simply a robot. Until the end of the Ascension War, the knights were unable to determine the true identity of the country thief, let alone create targeted genetic weapons."

"Neither knights nor thieves will use this kind of weapon. There is no reason." The native nodded, "And people like Yawgmoth and Nyagudi must also know the risks of this kind of thing. There is nothing like genetic Information is more likely to mutate.”

Biological weapons are weapons developed based on various pathogens such as rickettsiae, viruses, chlamydia, and fungi, and target local populations, livestock, and crops. Because this weapon has the characteristics of low cost, large contamination area, and lethality, in the distant past, it was considered a "nuclear weapon of poor countries."

But this is essentially bullshit.

The per capita medical resources and overall mobilization capabilities of poor countries will not exceed those of large countries. Countermeasures against this thing require scientific research foundations - something poor countries cannot afford.

And the genes between humans and humans are too similar. Human genes only come from a small group of people 200,000 years ago. This is even more true for non-Africans, whose genes come from several small branches that left Africa over the past 100,000 years.

Trying to find a pathogen that is "fatal to one group but ineffective to another" is tantamount to fantasy.

And...even if it is found, it will be very dangerous.

Because pathogens mutate.

The virus itself has a simple structure and can recombine rapidly. Although germs and fungi are more complex, they can allow genetic information to move horizontally between individuals. Biological weapons drop a large number of pathogens at once, which first provides a numerical basis.

Once a mutation occurs, it's not up to you how events will unfold.

Oh, yes, Yawgmoth also said that for a while, he had to work hard to educate those "big people" who could really make such things secretly, so that they would not engage in such things that might be self-destruction. .

"It wasn't the country thieves who released it... Then who did it?" Yuan Yuan thought about this question.

"Is it a third party? For example..." Xiaoba pondered for a moment, "An alien? For example, the Olorun civilization that created Ogun..."

"Although the possibility is not impossible." Yuan Yuan wanted to roll his eyes, "But... I don't remember what was dug out of Ogun, but you should be able to feel it. Furthermore, anyone who can cross the star sea is not defeated by us humans. The extraterrestrial civilizations discovered by society can run over our faces openly."

"If there were really clear enemies like aliens, things would be much easier." Xiaoba sighed, "Sometimes we do expect to have such an 'enemy'."

"After all, there are thieves in the mountains, so we can slow down the matter of breaking the thieves in our hearts first." Xiang Shan shrugged.

"But again, it's useless to think about it here. Let's work hard and load Lao Jiu's backup."

Xiaoba disappears again.

At this moment, the single-killing king Jadel has squatted down and retrieved the information stored inside.

And several younger people were chatting about other things.

The guys probably saw the old man nostalgic about the past and didn't want to disturb the old man's elegance, so they didn't say anything.

It seems that because Jardel just talked about "using modified creatures", the juniors were talking about another thing.

That seemed to be more than twenty years ago. Over in Africa, a group of knights sent modified special anaerobic bacteria and fungi mixed with Ivolu cells into a corner of an underground nuclear power plant.

Special anaerobic bacteria can accelerate the oxidation of iron, copper and other metals and obtain part of the resources. Fungi can recycle the metabolic waste and dead remains of anaerobic bacteria and Ivo cells.

Ivolu cells are cancer cells, and they are standard metal-based organisms that can survive on electrical energy.

After special preparation, Ivolu cells can even obtain other necessary nutrients from symbiotic fungi.

This mixed community grows at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although this process will emit an odor, few modern humans specially install olfactory prostheses.

By the time it was discovered, the nuclear power plant was almost useless.
