Chapter 512: The Plague Expedition 1
The new fleet was prepared and set off in less than ten days. The main thing is to make strict preparations and inspections for the problem of protection, and slightly upgrade the power system, defense system, etc. of the battleship. There is also the question of masters.
Although there are not many warships going to the Longyuan Empire this time, and it is not mainly about war, it is also necessary to take precautions.
We're not going to war this time, but if we encounter danger, we have to be able to run the road. And according to the information that has been coming one after another in the past ten days, the Great Emperor of the Longyuan Empire has gone crazy—crazy.
Therefore, there are still a few golden immortals such as Jiang Nanfeng in the fleet, as well as Lu Dingshan of the Yujing Empire and Guanlan Zhenjun of the Tianhe Sect.
Guanlan Zhenjun had just returned and didn't have time to rest, so he set off again. There is no way, the Tianhe Sect is the closest to the Longyuan Empire, so it has to be busy.
After the fleet arrived at the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, it brought with them the five Great Luo Jin Immortals of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, and the leaders were the Vermilion Bird King and Yu Chi Guangwu of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire.
The Northern Flying Tiger Empire is also close to the Longyuan Empire, second only to the Tianhe Sect, and has a larger contact area. It's impossible to say not to worry. After determining that this might be a super plague caused by a quasi-saint virus, the Northern Flying Tiger Empire was indeed a little frightened.
Compared to the headquarters of the Blue Star Group in the rear, the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, which was on the front line, got faster and more news.
When the fleet arrived at the Northern Flying Tiger Empire's northern defense line 38 days later, more information came. By now, the plague had been breaking out within the Dragon Yuan Empire for more than 160 days.
With the help of well-intentioned people, and the fact that everyone has never had any experience in defending against viruses, plagues, and infections, the situation in the Longyuan Empire has completely collapsed in more than 160 days.
"At present, the latest information has been infected, and there are already cultivators in the Pure Yang Realm who have been infected. Yu Chi Guangwu said with a solemn face while handing over the new information to Miao Xiaoyu.
This time there are two heads of the fleet: one is the head of operations, the captain of the fleet, the former adjutant of Dugu Junjie, and the general from the Northern Flying Tiger Empire: Yuwen Lan.
Yu Wen Lan is one of the many newly cultivated generals in the combined fleet of the Blue Star Group, and this time he chose Yu Wen Lan because of the problem of the plague facing the Northern Flying Tiger Empire. Of course, it is also because Yuwen Lan herself is really good.
The other is the head of the medical operation, Miao Xiaoyu.
In addition, Jiang Nanfeng, as a Jin Xian, is responsible for coordinating the problems of Jin Xian and Da Luo Jin Xian, mainly responsible for communication between everyone.
All the tentative action plans are under the responsibility of Yu Wenlan. But when it comes to collecting samples in the Longyuan Empire, as well as various disinfection and defense issues, you need to obey Miao Xiaoyu's command.
Separation of rights.
Miao Xiaoyu now also has a pure yang realm, and he reads the information very quickly. It only took a few minutes for the powerful Genshin to scan through all the information.
After reading the information, Miao Xiaoyu frowned slightly: "I didn't expect it to be so serious." From this information, I can basically conclude two points.
First, this is a plague caused by a virus, and it is not a simple means of cultivation. However, it is not excluded that the use of spiritual means to intensify the infection of the virus and so on.
Second, the virus should have flowed from the quasi-holy seal. Although viruses mutate or evolve in general, they have never seen such a speed. And even if there is a virus that mutates so quickly, the traits will generally change after three generations.
But instead of changing, the shape of the virus has intensified. It's not mutation or evolution, it's revival!
An ancient virus that is recovering fast!
If it is not effectively controlled, the situation will be very dangerous!"
Wei Chi Guangwu looked at the 'little girl' in front of him and was a little unconvinced: "But I have a few questions. ”
"Senior, please speak. ”
"We have speculated and even speculated about the origin of the virus. How can you be sure it's a virus from a quasi-saint? If so, why didn't it erupt in ancient times?
If the harm of the virus is really as you say, then it should have caused a disaster that cannot be ignored in ancient times!"
Miao Xiaoyu was very calm: "As the predecessors said, this is a guess. Until it is finalized, we can only guess. But for anything, especially the current contagion, we need to prepare for the worst.
As for why it didn't appear in ancient times, maybe it was the virus that appeared after the Demon Saint was sealed.
We don't know anything about the Demon Saint and the kind of seal that has been around for thousands of years. For tens of millions of years, it is actually normal for virus mutations to occur.
Tens of millions of years is too long, and it is not impossible that the sea can become a mulberry field, and it is not impossible for the originally harmless virus to become a deadly virus.
It is not even ruled out that the Demon Saint used some means to produce this virus in the desperation of the seal.
After all, it was a quasi-saint. The more scientific research moves forward, the more we can understand how unattainable the height of the four dimensions is, and the more we can understand how high the power of quasi-saints is. ”
Wei Chi Guangwu nodded slightly, and asked again: "I heard that the Ocean Group has studied a virus against the Sufeng clan before. Is this virus very easy to produce? Is the virus aimed at flesh and blood, or is it a primordial infant primordial god?"
"It's not easy to produce this virus. There was quite a bit of a coincidence that we were able to succeed at that time. There is also a mutagenesis of a natural virus extracted from the captives of the Sufeng Clan.
And there is another point, before entering the interstellar world, a powerful plague also broke out in the Tianyuan Star civilization. It was caused by the technology left by the Xuanhuang civilization back then.
The virus we studied against Sufeng was the result of a combination of multiple virus technologies. Let's try it again, and it won't necessarily work.
As for the mechanism of action of the virus, what we are currently studying is all acting on flesh and blood. It has no effect on the Yuan Infant Yuan Shen. ”
"Since it has no effect on the Yuan Infant Yuan Shen, it has no effect on the True Yuan, and for the flesh and blood, the virus should be a foreign object. Why are some spiritual practices, such as detoxification, useless against the virus?
We have also contacted many acquaintances of the Longyuan Empire during this period of time, and found that everyone has exhausted all means to no avail. ”
Miao Xiaoyu showed a little confident smile on his face: "This is very simple. In fact, there are many probiotics and viruses in the human body, but the human body does not recognize them.
After our research, we found that in fact, many probiotics have been integrated into the human body as practitioners progress.
With these probiotics, it is difficult to say definitively whether they are foreign objects or an integral part of the human body.
And so on, what if these viruses have similar properties?"
Miao Xiaoyu didn't say some details about the virus. At that time, the virus studied by the Ocean Group directly combined with a certain protein in the human body of Sufeng's family, and thus completed the 'hidden', and the Yuan Shen and Zhen Yuan completely lost their effect. At present, this virus is afraid that it has similar capabilities.
But there is no need to explain such things in too much detail. Otherwise, you have to explain proteins, synapses, etc., which ordinary people really can't understand. Not to mention the trouble, it is easy to expose some things.
For example, the virus against Sufeng is not an 'accidental product', but the product of precise genetic engineering. Over the years, Dayang Group has been conducting research in this area, especially the research on the Heavenly Demon World, which has accumulated rich experience. But there's no need for the outside world to know about these things.
But Miao Xiaoyu's words are not false - it is not easy to tell a lie in front of Da Luo Jinxian. Viruses are the product of precise research, but the process of experiments is always full of surprises.
This is the separation of theory and practice, and I just said that the process of practice, that is, the process of experimentation, not all the research process.
However, it must also be admitted that sometimes for outsiders, the explanation is too detailed and professional, and the other party is puzzled. This kind of superficial explanation is more marketable.
So many of the surrounding Da Luo Jin Immortals nodded one after another, feeling that they had obtained some kind of truth.
The fleet continued to advance, and the Northern Flying Tiger Empire also made contact with some of the Longyuan Empire nobles and separatist regimes who had surrendered. In the end, the fleet chose the former Yunlu general and Miao Chenghua of the Longyuan Empire.
The reason why Miao Chenghua was finally chosen was because his surname was 'Miao'...... Well, just kidding, mainly because Miao Chenghua said: they have sealed almost all patients with symptoms, at all stages!
In other words, Miao Chenghua has all the 'cases' in his hands, from ordinary people, to the Qi refining period, to the foundation building period, to the realm of returning to the truth! This is very important for scientific research.
In addition, because of Miao Chenghua's calm response, the epidemic situation here in them, that is, the Miao Clan's Zhao Kingdom, is relatively light, and in the current Longyuan Empire, the Miao Clan's Zhao Kingdom is also one with a relatively stable environment. Moreover, the Miao Zhao Kingdom is located on the periphery of the Tianhuang Star Official, which is easy to enter and exit.
As for the cases of the Pure Yang Realm that everyone needs, Miao Zhao Guo has no cases for the time being because the epidemic is well controlled. But Miao Chenghua said that he could be 'lured' from elsewhere.
These sick people have not yet heard of being cured, but many of them have died, which has already caused panic; as long as some pills, especially those that strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan, can lure the cases to take the initiative to defect.
In addition, the Miao Zhao Kingdom is not too far from the Tianhuang Xingguan Center, and Miao Chenghua also knows a relatively smooth road, everyone can set sail from the Miao Zhao Kingdom, and you can arrive at the Tianhuang Xingguan Center relatively smoothly, and you can detect the situation there.
Because of these, the fleet went straight to the Zhao Kingdom of the Miao Clan. The advance route of the fleet borrowed from the original sailing route of Dugu Junjie and detoured from outer space. This avoids a lot of troubles, especially contact with endemic areas.
The fleet went smoothly along the way - the current Longyuan Empire has already taken care of itself, who cares about invasions and the like.
The fleet advanced at full speed, and it only took eighteen days to reach the checkpoint of the Miao clan's Zhao Kingdom. Miao Chenghua has been waiting here for a long time.
The fleet slowly stopped, Miao Chenghua tidied up his clothes, and took the initiative to step forward. I heard that there were seven Da Luo Jin Immortals in this fleet, and Miao Chenghua didn't dare to support them.
Because Miao Chenghua is also 'just' a golden immortal cultivator, the Da Luo Golden Immortals just nodded arrogantly from afar, and it was Jiang Nanfeng who also cultivated as a golden immortal who really received Miao Chenghua.
