Chapter 1513 Plague 2
Plague exists even in the practice world. Not many, but each one can have serious repercussions.
And because everyone is used to using cultivation methods to deal with it, it often results in heavy deaths of ordinary people-the cultivation methods are medicine pills, etc., and ordinary people often cannot afford such a price!
Before the Tianyuanxing civilization developed technology, there may be plague outbreaks after every war.
The most serious one was because the Xuanhuang World died, prying open the dangerous land left by ancient times, and releasing the red flying insects. Later, the killing of flying insects by the Dayang Group caused some kind of microorganism to mutate, and even the Huashen level were infected.
That time really left a deep impression on the entire Tianyuanxing civilization. It was also at that time that Dayang Group began to set up a research base specializing in the study of viruses and related technologies. A considerable part of the technology of the virus that was put into Sufeng's later came from this research base.
In addition, many civilizations may have encountered plagues when they were weak. It can only be avoided after being strong. Life in this world is extraordinarily prosperous, which makes viruses and other things more harmful. But generally speaking, due to congenital conditions, it is difficult for viruses to infect those above the Huashen realm.
The stage of transforming gods has entered the second major stage of practice: refining qi and transforming gods. The virus that cannot practice has been difficult to affect this stage.
Dugu Junjie continued: "Currently confirmed infected people include: ordinary people and children, Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen, Faxiang, Dongxu; and this kind of infection is not sporadic. , is a widespread infection.
There is also news that a few Guizhen realms have been infected; but this news is not clear, but it can be confirmed that this plague is extraordinary. In the past, few plagues could involve Huashen.
In order to avoid infection, everyone had to use the real yuan shield all the way out. However, as the saying goes, there is always one way to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and the true energy shield cannot always be activated, and no one knows whether the surrounding environment is safe or not.
When this information was sent out, some people had already started retreating towards the border of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire. But the Northern Flying Tiger Empire has closed the border.
It's just... the starry sky is vast, and the border blockade may not be 100% effective. "
Isn't it 'not necessarily 100% effective'? But it is 100% invalid!
Of course Zhang Hao and everyone at the scene understood the situation of the starry sky blockade. So after listening to Dugu Junjie's words, there was a little silence at the scene.
Interstellar defense is mainly for large legions. For small spaceships, individuals, etc., it is almost impossible to effectively intercept them. Therefore, problems such as smuggling in the starry sky are rampant, and interstellar pirates can be rampant.
Just like a large city without walls, checkpoints can only be set at intersections and observed in some important places. But it is impossible to monitor every corner. It is perfectly fine for someone to walk into the city through some wilderness or alleyway in a corner.
In fact, in the past two months or so, everyone has received a lot of news about the outbreak of the plague in the Longyuan Empire. We already know the situation in the north.
But the news brought by Dugu Junjie today is more detailed and shocking. Because of Wu Qian's relationship, the information is more accurate this time.
A data sheet was placed in front of Zhang Hao and others:
About 120 days ago, that is, at the beginning, there were ordinary people and those in the Qi refining period who had a 'cold'. It is conceivable that it did not attract much attention at the time. In the next few days, people in the foundation building stage began to have a 'cold', but they didn't pay much attention.
In this world of spiritual practice, the upper echelons basically don't pay much attention to the lives of the lower echelons. For the vast number of practitioners, everything under the Transformation God is grass, which can be stepped on at any time. Who cares about the withered grass on the roadside?
It wasn't until the disease quickly spread to the stage of transformation that it finally attracted attention--the stage of transformation is a threshold, but there is still little attention. The majority of practitioners believe that a small cold is just a small one, there is no need to make a fuss, and a pill can solve it. In fact, it was really depressed at the beginning.
But the current suppression is in exchange for even more crazy outbreaks in the future.
After more than a month, the disease suddenly spread to the level of Faxiang, and it was a large-scale infection! At this time, a large number of sick people under the Nascent Soul had died of illness, and it was only at this time that everyone finally began to pay attention to it. However, it was too late, when the plague was completely out of control.
By the time Dugu Junjie received this news, there were already rumors that the illness had spread to the Realm of Guizhen—this was the third stage of the four realms of cultivation, the stage of refining the spirit and reversing the void.
As for the scope of the current infection, it has surpassed Tianhuang Xingguan and spread to all directions. At present, it is initially estimated that the spread of the disease has exceeded 50 light-years in diameter, at least.
Seeing this range, even people with no common sense can think of a possibility: it's out of control!
Yes, the plague is completely out of control now.
In the range of fifty light years, even if the quasi-sage came, I'm afraid there would be nothing to do.
Perhaps the only effective way is to pray to heaven—at least there is some psychological comfort.
Dugu Junjie watched everyone fall into silence, and couldn't help but said: "Should we catch a few cases and study them? To develop antibodies?
Judging from the plague and the infection situation, I'm afraid that human intervention is necessary. Judging from the news from Longyuan Empire, many people said that this plague should be caused by the opening of the ancient seal on the land of Longyuan Empire. "
Zhang Hao was a little puzzled: "That's not right, according to the previous intelligence analysis, wasn't this ancient seal opened a long time ago?
If the plague was caused by the opening of the seal, that month should not be now. "
Dugu Junjie shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "But I can't find a second possibility at the moment. This is the only explanation until I find another possibility.
Considering the crazy attitude of the Emperor Longyuan Empire before, I wonder if he discovered something recently?
Many of our scout spaceships were captured before. I wonder if the other party interrogated anything?
According to the current analysis of the plague, it is very likely that it was caused by a virus. Traditional methods such as poisoning and cursing are simply not enough to cause such a large-scale disaster.
But when it comes to the means of releasing the virus, most people may not think of it. First of all, he needs to know that there is a virus! "
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, "It makes sense in this way! But where did this virus come from? At the beginning, it was during the Qi refining period, and then it was during the foundation building period. Now it has spread in just three or four months. It has reached the realm of returning to the true state.
Is this virus mutating? No, it should be said that it has evolved! But is this a little too fast? "
Dugu Junjie shook his head slightly: "Among the incoming information, there is such speculation: Some people think that the virus that may be released is a quasi-sage-level virus, bred from the quasi-sage's body. It is now in the process of recovery!"
"Quasi-sage level?!" Zhang Hao gasped. Although he really didn't want to admit it, his reason told Zhang Hao that this possibility was really, really big!
Considering that the Great Emperor of the Longyuan Empire actually opened a seal that had sealed the Demon Saint for tens of millions of years, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible to get some weird things from it.
I just want to get a sample of the virus, and now I'm afraid I have to go to the Longyuan Empire to get it. But considering that the infection may have reached the Guizhen Realm, one must be careful when collecting virus samples, and don't accidentally bring the virus to the Blue Star Group, causing the virus to erupt early.
But if it is really a virus that came out of an ancient seal, a sample of the virus must be obtained as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the virus really spreads, the Bluestar Group will be seriously affected.
Listening to the current situation of Longyuan Empire, Zhang Hao feels that the Blue Star Group also needs to be prepared.
Considering that Dugu Junjie had just returned, Zhang Hao thought for a while, and discussed with Jiang Nanfeng and others next to him, to send a golden fairy to the Longyuan Empire to 'invite' some patients over.
Zhang Hao put it this way:
"If it was really caused by a virus, as the rumors say, then the virus may have already spread and it is difficult to cure.
As long as we promise to provide all-out treatment, we should be able to get a lot of virus samples, that is, patients.
Obtaining a sample of the virus is not difficult, the biggest difficulty lies in avoiding infection, especially preventing the virus from being brought to us in advance.
The original purpose of obtaining virus samples is to study antibodies that can resist infection. If the infection is brought to our starry sky in advance, the loss outweighs the gain. "
Jiang Nanfeng thought for a while and said: "In that case, I would like to go to the Longyuan Empire. But it needs to be accompanied by researchers from the Dayang Group. How to deal with bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, etc., still needs to learn from the experience of the Dayang Group."
Over the years, the research laboratories of Dayang Group and Bluestar Group have actually been studying microorganisms, cells, genetics, etc. Mainly for the research on the world of demons and so on. But this kind of research is mainly for spiritual service. The real research on viruses and other aspects is still dominated by Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao thought for a while and nodded in agreement. But Zhang Hao has to go back and discuss who to send.
Zhang Hao returned to Chizhu Star and first observed the new research base. In fact, the construction of the new research base had already started a year ago, and now it can be fully put into use.
A research base can only be used for a maximum of 25 years; then it will be eliminated due to technological progress. Limited by the technology at the time of construction, it will be difficult to meet the needs of the latest technology research even if it is upgraded in the later stage. The speed of technological progress of Dayang Group is really too fast.
Especially after finding eternity, coupled with the advancement of quantum computer technology, a new research base is imperative.
The attack and destruction of Huanlong Qianyun this time was actually expected by Dayang Group, otherwise Dayang Group would not let Huanlong Qianyun destroy it so easily.
After observing the new research base, Zhang Hao found Zhou Xueyao and talked about the situation of Longyuan Empire.
After hearing this, Zhou Xueyao thought for a while and said, "I can't clone for the time being. I don't worry about such an important situation. I don't feel at ease for ordinary researchers. You can let Miao Xiaoyu go.
If the guess is correct, the virus is likely to come from the quasi-sage. Maybe a carelessness may cause a plague to break out here, so be careful. "
Zhou Xueyao hand-picked it, and of course Zhang Hao believed it. Although it feels a bit overkill, this matter is really careless. This is very likely to come from Zhunsheng's virus, and if one is not careful, the entire Blue Star Group may be taken over. Dayang Group is naturally inevitable.
In addition, this time I went to Longyuan Empire to investigate the actual infection situation and make an assessment of the real situation of the virus. Another thing is to try to get in touch with the Great Emperor of Longyuan Empire. Even if you can't, you still need to get some information.
After thinking about it, Zhang Hao had no choice but to find eternity: if he wanted to investigate the situation of the emperor of the Longyuan Empire, he might need to rely on the power of intelligent life this time. It should be impossible for the virus on this quasi-sage to infect intelligent life.
At present, the five intelligent life forms and ethnic groups separated from eternity have all been arranged.
The Veyron and the unmanned fleet, under the leadership of Li Shu, are galloping across the battlefield of the Tianshui Empire.
Flying Tiger and the unmanned fleet, under the leadership of Murong Shan, guard the constellation of Tianshe.
Ba Tian and Lei Ting, as well as the poor five million warships, are preparing for the exploration of the Carp Nebula. Things have been preparing for a long time.
Only Jin Snake, who originally followed Dugu Junjie to attack the Longyuan Empire and Tianchi Empire, has now returned. Well, maybe the Golden Snake can make another trip. Anyway, he is also familiar with the starry sky of Longyuan Empire.
Eternity has no objection either, and as for the Golden Snake itself as a 'person', of course there is no objection either—in fact, the five major ethnic groups are also trumpets separated from Eternity and endowed with certain independent abilities. But in essence, this is still an eternal trumpet, without real freedom.
Originally, there were 8 million unmanned warships on the Golden Snake side; after this war, although the overall loss of the fleet was not large, the loss of unmanned warships was quite a lot, leaving less than 3 million.
Dayang Group added a little bit, added to 5 million, and set off again.
Because this time it was to 'collect samples', the size of the fleet was much smaller, and there were no space behemoths. But they are all battleships with the most top-notch power performance and defense performance.
The leader of the team was no longer Dugu Junjie, but an adjutant in charge. The total fleet is less than 5.5 million, including 5 million unmanned warships, without such a shabby coalition commander.
