After landing on the ground, Huang Guanghong showed the entire Zhangzi Island research base to Zhou Huafeng and Lian Feiyi. The panoramic view was captured by the high-altitude spy satellite of the watchtower. After years of infiltration and investigation, he finally learned about this base. role.
Many people¡¯s understanding of zombies is basically through movies and related novels, but in fact, the materials of these film and television works and literary works before they were compiled were taken from real research records.
Humanity¡¯s research on corpses and diseases runs through the entire human civilization. However, unlike physical research such as steam engines, in the process of development, every breakthrough progress in biology represents the deepening of taboo knowledge. Smart Factory 1325
In the general moral opinion, this kind of research is evil and immoral. In fact, this is indeed the case.
Huang Guanghong led Zhou Huafeng and Lian Feiyi into the interior of the base, while explaining everything here to them.
¡°We at Kuishui Society have also been involved in research on zombies or zombies, but related scientific research plans have been stopped as early as twenty years ago.¡±
"Why is this?" Zhou Huafeng asked.
"There is no special reason and it has nothing to do with morality. It's just that our scientists believe that the application prospects of these two technologies are not promising and are not in the interests of our organization, so they naturally gave up."
The development model and basis of military force of the Ancient Culture Society are different from those of any other country's political system. They are mainly based on enhanced human beings who have undergone biological modification, and are supplemented by various high-tech weapons.
Therefore, what is needed are super soldiers with strong combat autonomy and professional training, with noble ideals and generous rewards to encourage them to participate in the battle. Of course, all this is based on the production capacity of the smart factory and the economic strength of Guwenhui.
The Ancient Literature Society does not have to spend a lot of money and materials to maintain the operation of a huge system, so it can invest more resources in key areas. Compared with huge countries, it has more advantages and is extremely flexible.
In fact, the countries that are truly committed to studying biological viruses are Western countries and Japan during World War II. Under the mercantilist economic system, researching viruses and developing vaccines is a very profitable business, even more sinful than drug trade and human trade.
Among them are some biopharmaceutical companies under the Illuminati. They study viruses and vaccines, then spread the disease, and then blackmail people in affected areas with a targeted vaccine.
In fact, the Reform Association is also doing the same thing, but their targets are generally Japan and small countries in the Southeast Asia region, and their actions are relatively secretive, so they have hidden it from many people.
¡°Originally, this kind of research had to be conducted abroad due to security considerations. But the accident that occurred in the Kingdom of Russia finally made the Innovation Council decide to move the plan domestically.¡±
"It was mentioned in the information, but the reason was not explained." Lian Feiyi asked: "An accident can't explain anything."
"It's not as simple as an accident. Although the Chinese Federation maintains its military garrison in the Russian region with a tough attitude, diplomatic pressure is a headache. The most important thing is that the people in the Russian Kingdom cannot be trusted at all. Last time The incident was probably caused by the infiltration of spies from other countries. Of course, we have no information in this regard, so we can only make guesses."
After all, the Ancient Literature Society is not the Chinese Federation. After the national system is fully established, the two sides draw clear boundaries.
Although the interpenetrating intelligence network cannot be separated for a while, or even can never be truly separated, in fact, each of them guards their own intelligence secrets quite closely.
There are only two entrances and exits in the entire research room. One is locked under normal circumstances and requires special instructions and keys to open. It exists as an evacuation passage at critical moments.
Normally, there is only one tunnel that leads to the ground diagonally, with a length of 1.5 kilometers, and a rail train as a means of transportation. The door is heavily guarded, and the surveillance equipment includes thermal imaging cameras in addition to conventional cameras.
It is absolutely impossible to sneak into it. At least so far, there has been no record broken here. Smart Factory 1325
After entering the interior, Huang Guanghong took Lian Feiyi and the others to a very special cell, a deep pit seven meters high and about twenty meters in diameter.
The prisoners being imprisoned are a very special species, they look like humans, but they are definitely not humans. For ordinary people, the wounds that are fatal to them are nothing more thanIt's an insignificant embellishment.
Some even have the entire abdominal skin missing, and most of their intestines and kidneys are missing, but they are still alive and kicking. That kind of crazy look, like the most primitive beast, staring hungrily at any living creature.
"These are zombies?" Zhou Huafeng had encountered zombies before, but when he looked at this strange creature on the ground, he felt an obvious difference.
"The appearance is somewhat similar to the zombies I have seen before. They are also able to ignore most fatal injuries to humans, but the mental signals of the zombies are obviously different, as if"
"It's like a newborn baby, right." Huang Guanghong said for Zhou Huafeng, "In the ancient literature society's cutting-edge biological research, we inherited part of the knowledge of ancient scholars, so we also know the difference between zombies and zombies, and have conducted specialized analysis , records and statistics.¡±
Generally speaking, the mainstream material science community, which lacks a systematic soul science knowledge system, often makes the same mistake, that is, they do not have a clear grasp of the concepts of zombies and zombies, resulting in confusion.
Research data shows that zombies are an "undead" creature. "Undead" means that they are difficult to kill by conventional methods, and they are actually still within the category of living creatures.
The word comes from the voodoo belief. According to voodoo beliefs, wizards in Haiti, for example, can 'resurrect' the dead. It's just that after 'resurrection', the deceased will not have autonomous consciousness and will still be manipulated by the person performing the resurrection ceremony.
The dead who are "resurrected" in this way are called zombies. But this is not necessarily the real "resurrection" of the deceased. In most cases, it is just the result of using powerful drugs to stun the victim, and then using hallucinogenic drugs and hypnosis to control the victim.
For example, in Haiti, there are often many zombie legends. In fact, the wizard uses drugs to stun the victim, and then uses hallucinogenic drugs and hypnosis to control the victim.
Moreover, modern medicine uses brain death as the standard for identification of death. However, there have also been many special medical cases of 'resurrection from the dead', which shows that this kind of 'death identification' itself has certain errors. .
The zombies infected by the unknown virus have probably not truly experienced the stage of 'resurrection from the dead', so they are not dead, but virus-infected organisms**.
There is an essential difference between zombies and zombies. Zombies are generally transformed directly from living people, while zombies must be transformed from dead people. In the research materials of Dao Sect, some scholars in ancient times mentioned that most low-level zombies were afraid of light, but the specific reasons were not understood at the time.
We still don¡¯t really understand it, we just speculate that it is related to the active state of energy, or to some specific light wave energy in sunlight.
Zombies are different. They are not dead, and their bodies do not have the unique negative energy field that zombies have. They are just sick living creatures, so they are not afraid of sunlight.
Zombies move faster, while zombies move slowly. When they see living flesh and blood, their speed becomes extremely fast. Zombies mainly appear in East Asia, and zombies are truly foreign to the West.
Whether it¡¯s Marco Polo¡¯s banned notes or the group of infected Russians brought by the Japanese from the Far East.
Zombies can be understood as corpses that are not completely dead. The brain responsible for thinking is severely damaged, but it can still retain some thinking like lower animals. The cerebellar function is greatly preserved, the movements are slow but not out of shape, and the innate human weaknesses such as pain and fear are completely eliminated.
It can be said that zombies evolved from humans into creatures with severely degenerated brains. Strictly speaking, they are not corpses. The behaviors performed by zombies belong to the instincts of all animals on the earth, such as the instinct to find food and eliminate dissidents.
In comparison, zombies can simply think, rest, move around, use tools, live in their own territory, etc. According to Taoist records, most zombies affected by thunder and underground radiation retain extremely high intelligence and even some memories of their lifetimes.
As for those artificially refined zombies, they were controlled during the process of refining the corpse, so this subjective wisdom was erased, leaving only the instinct of action. Smart Factory 1325
There are two main categories of zombies. The first category is virus zombies. This type of zombie is the most common. They move slowly, like to form groups, have animal instincts and amazing biting power. Their metabolism is very fast, so they must constantly eat carbon-based organisms on the earth to maintain their strength.
If they do not receive supplementary food for a long time, they will become dormant, as if dead.
In fact, if according to Western medical theory, brain death means death, then these humans who become zombies are indeedIn fact, he is already dead. Because after being parasitized by a virus, the virus can transform the parasite, completely take over the human nervous system and cause brain death. Therefore, when a person becomes a zombie, the person has died and no longer has human emotions, which is equivalent to brain death.
The virus needs a lot of energy to multiply in the human body, so the parasitized person has a strong desire to eat. They are tenacious because they only have two organs running in their bodies, namely brain neurons and heart.
Both of these organs are transferred to the control of the virus. In order to maintain their own survival, they have a strong ability to infect.
The second one is biological zombies. They are the same as virus zombies, but they do not have the ability to infect. Because they are parasitized by some parasitic organisms and become zombies, and these parasites are spread, and these zombies themselves are not infectious.
There is also a third type, which is radiation zombies. These zombies are not infectious, but they are highly radioactive and aggressive. This type of zombie was first captured by the Chinese Federation during its investigation of Tokyo after the nuclear explosion.
Lian Feiyi had previously seen a very powerful mutant creature in a government-run biotechnology research institute. The mutation was caused by high-intensity energy radiation.
This kind of zombies can only be transformed into living people, and it is completely caused by high-intensity radiation and genetic mutations. They have radioactive substances all over their bodies, and they have super physical fitness and vitality. They also have animal instincts, but they don¡¯t. They have a swarming habit, their metabolism is relatively slow, and they attack people and any living thing they can see.
This type of zombie has an effect on the whole body, but it cannot stop it and can only kill it, also the head and heart.
This zombie virus spreads through the blood and travels from the initial entry point to the brain. Through currently unknown pathways, the virus affects the early stages of cell replication, destroying them in the process.
After this period, the entire body's functions cease. By stopping the heartbeat, the entire infection dies, while the brain remains alive in a dormant manner, waiting for the mutation process of the virus to transform brain cells into a brand new organ.
The most striking feature of this new organ is that they no longer rely on oxygen for life activities. By eliminating the need for this very important resource, the brains of these mutants can function again, through a highly efficient, mutant to the complex physiological functions of the human body.
Once the entire mutation process is over, this organ will transform the entire body into a state that has only a few similarities with the original ordinary corpse. Some of the body's functions are still going on, while other functions have increased to a certain extent, and the entire transformation process has ended.
This new organism is a zombie, a member of the army of the living dead.
The biologists of the Chinese Federation are very interested in this biological model, because these discoveries have subverted their previous biological knowledge and allowed them to see the deeper meaning of life.
In fact, since the Age of Enlightenment, science has moved forward in the process of establishment and overthrow again and again. Today, science has expanded to an unimaginable level. The complex subjects and fields are a knowledge system that no human being can handle all by himself.
Even a genius can only focus on one or a few fields, not all.
But in fact, there are very few cutting-edge scholars who can really keep up with scientific progress. Most of them stay on backward or outdated knowledge, and firmly believe that this "common sense" is an eternal truth.
Just like Huang Guanghong and now Lian Feiyi, they would never think of disclosing the taboo knowledge here, let alone argue with others whether such a thing exists.
Whether you want to be progressive or conservative is a choice and a freedom.
Speaking of zombie viruses, there are three types in the ancient literature association¡¯s internal database. One is obtained based on the genetic modification of rabies virus, which is highly contagious and can even be used for military purposes.
The other two are virus variants cultured from research materials and samples seized from the Japanese bacterial force. They have also reached military grade and are very dangerous substances. They have been sealed in freezers and are prohibited from research.
The zombie virus itself is a biological virus and does not spread through water or air. There are no known human infections caused by exposure to natural substances; infection can only result from direct physical contact.
A zombie bite, while the most well-known, is by no means the only way of transmission. There was a case where a researcher became infected after his wound came into contact with the zombie gunshot spray caused by the explosion.
Infected by eatingIf the person does not have oral trauma, the result is not infection but direct death.
The infected flesh and blood has been proven to be highly toxic, but as mentioned before, the virus scattered in nature still carries a high risk of infection.
Once the other party is crazy enough to not care about their own safety, warnings against such actions will have no effect. Some have pointed out that by freezing the zombie body and the surrounding environment, the chance of infection due to non-bite contact is reduced. However, it is important to note that it only takes one infected individual for the entire chain reaction to begin.
Solannm, also known as zombie virus in English, is fatal to all living organisms, regardless of size, species, or ecosystem.
Zombification only occurs in humans. Studies have shown that solannm infected in non-human brains will die within a few hours after the death of the host, making the animal corpses safe to touch. The infected animal can replicate the virus throughout the body. You will die everywhere.
Infections caused by insect bites such as mosquitoes will also be weakened, and experiments have confirmed that all types of parasites will 100% refuse to parasitize on infected individuals.
Once a human being is infected, trying to save him or her is almost futile. Since the zombie virus is a virus and not a bacterium, antibiotics will not be effective. Vaccination, the only way to fight the virus, is equally useless.
Even the smallest dose of exposure can lead to outright infection, and genetic research is ongoing. The goal is to find strong enough human antibodies and modify them to search and attack zombie viruses, so as to ultimately eliminate them.
Research on this and other types of more fundamental treatments is still in its early stages, and there will be no feasible results in the foreseeable future. Field experience recommends immediate amputation of the infected limb, depending of course on the location of the bite.
But the feasibility of such methods is still questionable, and the probability of success is basically less than 10. Basically, when the virus enters their bodies, the fate of these infected people is already doomed.
