I Am the Swarm

The new scientific research team is indeed professional, with the support of top-level equipment, and the research and development progress is much faster than that of Balter's team.

It's not that Barthes can't do it, the problem is that he is a biology researcher, and it's really difficult for him to separate harmful substances in plants.

In less than a year, the new team has overcome many difficulties and come up with a finished product.

This is a practical and effective life-prolonging drug. Although it has not yet been clinically tested on humans, it has been verified on animals, and it completely eliminates all kinds of radiation hazards. It can extend the theoretical lifespan of the Rickens by about 60 years.

However, due to the problem of materials, after 2 tons of materials were consumed, there are only less than half a ton left, and there are only dozens of fruits with the best effect left, which makes the life-extending potion extremely precious.

Although the life-extending potion has not been made public, the return of more than two million expeditionary fleet crew members makes this news no secret. Everyone who needs to know is already known, and those who don't know don't know.

Therefore, the research and development progress of life-prolonging medicine has attracted the attention of many interested people. Especially those powerful and powerful elderly Riken people are even more eager.

However, the limited number of life-extending potions simply cannot satisfy everyone's needs.

"Dr. Simeone, Dr. Hartmann, and Dr. Natal, you have worked hard." His Excellency Speaker Antonio, who was informed of the news, inspected the laboratory in person and expressed his gratitude to the three persons in charge who presided over the overall situation.

The appearance of the life-extending potion gave him more bargaining chips. Under the temptation of life-extending, he should be able to win many difficult bones.

Maybe he can take this opportunity to change the federal parliamentary system of the Riken people into a monarchy system, and he will become king.

Imagining a bright future, he unconsciously smiled. At this moment, the threat of aliens seems to be far away.

Or maybe it was intentionally ignored.

"Three doctors, with the remaining materials, how many doses of medicine can be produced at most?" Antonio interrupted the three persons in charge who were teaching him the principles of popular science, revealing how difficult this matter was.

He doesn't care about these at all, he only cares about the number of chips.

The three persons in charge glanced at each other, and one of them said: "Your Excellency, Speaker, there is actually another piece of good news."

"oh?"

"We found that this plant is not difficult to grow as long as it finds its growth environment."

"What do you mean?" Your Excellency the Speaker was a little excited.

"Yes, according to the records of the expedition team, we artificially copied the composition of the air and seawater of planet T853, but those plants did not grow again. Then, we carefully checked the combat records of the special forces at that time, and found that the plants were The location where the radiation index is high."

"Is that why you applied for the information in the first place?"

"That's right! Based on what we did before, we added a lot of radiation-containing substances to the simulated environment, and then these plants miraculously came back to life and began to continue to grow."

"How difficult are they to grow?"

"This is what makes us feel amazing. As we continue to study, we found that as long as this kind of plant has radiation substances, it does not have high requirements for the rest of the environment." The person in charge thought for a while and made an analogy : "For example, we don't even need to simulate the environment of T853, as long as a sufficient amount of radiation material is provided, they can adjust themselves."

"What about the output?"

"To be honest, I've never seen this kind of plants. They only need radiation, and it doesn't even matter what kind of radiation. As long as they have this, well, they grow very fast."

"Radiation? Does the doctor have any advice?"

"If you want, they should be able to solve the nuclear waste problem that is giving us a headache." Due to the extensive use of fusion and fission technology, the Riken tribe produces a large amount of nuclear waste every year, and they have no good way to use these things. They can only be packed and shot into the sun.

It would be great if life-extending plants could absorb their growth.

"How effective are the life-extending plants grown in this way?" Solving nuclear waste is just icing on the cake. Their most important function is to make life-extending medicines. If this function is lost due to environmental changes, it will not be worth the candle.

"It's not a big problem. The newly bred medicine has basically the same effect. But in order to confirm this, we need to breed more and do a few more experiments, but I think it's not a big problem."

"So the life-prolonging medicine is expected to be mass-produced?"

"Yes."

"Yes, very good, keep this information secret for the time being." This is really the best news I have received today, but in order to obtain the maximum benefit, this information cannot be made public for the time being, after all, the rarer it is, the more precious it is.

Next, His Excellency the Speaker highly praised and encouraged the scientific research team, and after making a promise, he happily brought some finished medicines and left the experimental center.

The Experimental Center has carried out the instructions of His Excellency the Speaker very thoroughly and successfully, and the news that life-extending plants can breed is limited to a small area.

So, two days later, the laboratory was bombed.

Armed personnel from unknown forces attacked the laboratory by air on a gunboat, and had a short and intense exchange of fire with the laboratory's garrison forces. It's a pity that your Excellency, the speaker, never expected that someone would be so bold, and the garrison troops were only equipped with conventional light weapons.

Under the attack of the gunboat, the battle ended quickly. The assailant fled in the laboratory with ease, snatched the finished medicine, some life-extending plants and research materials.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, and by the time the support troops arrived, the laboratory had already turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Fortunately, apart from the casualties of the garrison troops, the scientific research team escaped because of their cooperation and the fact that the other party did not seem to have any intention of killing them.

His Excellency the Speaker, who was informed of the news, was extremely angry and ordered the military and the police to jointly investigate the matter, but the expected quick solution to the case did not happen. The investigators encountered many obstacles in their work, and even they seemed to have internal problems. A week later, the incident is still clueless.

This is basically impossible in the Rickon tribe.

Because not to mention things like gunboats, even ordinary weapons and equipment are not things that can be owned casually, and it should be easy to find the source. Coupled with the advanced technology of the Liken tribe, and surveillance probes spread all over the mother planet, such a large armed force, after swaggeringly attacking important facilities, disappeared without a trace, which is not dared to act like this in the movies of the Liken tribe.

But reality is sometimes so magical.

A week later, the investigative operation was called off, and Antonio has understood that this may be the backlash of some of his recent actions.

This attack was not just to snatch the life-extending potion, but more importantly, to show off his muscles in this way.

His Excellency the Speaker, who has grown increasingly swollen over the years and indulged in the dream of becoming the throne, is a little sober. It seems that there are still many things hidden by those old forces. He thinks he is in control of everything, but it is only a superficial phenomenon.

It seems that many plans have to be worked out gradually.

Regardless of what happened inside the Rickon tribe, no one noticed that when the laboratory was attacked, some of the life-extending plants that were originally well-protected were scattered due to the explosion during the firefight and the rush to take them away later.

A few creep seeds finally found a chance, broke free, sank into the ground and disappeared.
