When it comes to zombies, many people¡¯s first reaction is that they are science fiction themes from the future world and are fictional things. Use Wangyue.com, completely ad-free! However, this kind of thing is actually quite ancient in human history.
¡°We don¡¯t know what Innovative Research intends to do with this dangerous biotechnology, but the risks are real and we must always be prepared to face the worst-case scenario, and that¡¯s why I¡¯m taking you here to visit s reason."
After all, the Reform Society is an internal organization of the Chinese Federation. It is difficult for the Ancient Literature Society to interfere with the other party's actions, so it can only take precautions carefully. Time Travel Novel Bar sj131
"In general, it is very suitable to use this island as a base for studying zombie viruses. The vast sea blocks possible threats. However, we still have to be fully prepared just in case."
Huang Guanghong¡¯s words made Zhou Huafeng and Lian Feiyi realize how important the responsibilities they shouldered were.
Indeed, this highly contagious virus is more akin to a terrible plague. For ordinary people, zombies are simply difficult to defeat, and any failure will undoubtedly add strength to the opponent.
For the majority of the population, only a few elites can become qualified combatants. Once the zombies accumulate an absolute advantage like a snowball, then any battle will be meaningless.
Even if you win, what will be left?
Fortunately, although they are doing the most dangerous research, the scientists of the Revolution Society still learned another weakness of zombies: they cannot swim.
Swimming is also an ability reserved to living people. There is a saying that if an undead is swollen enough to float on the water, then it will become a floating nightmare.
This is actually very rare, however, given that the slow rate of decay makes the accumulation of by-product gases extremely time-consuming. Zombies that walk or fall into a body of water are more likely to find themselves lingering underwater until they are finally destroyed. dissipate.
Another point is that the intelligence of zombies is very low. If a group of zombies detect prey above them, such as on the second floor of a house, they will continue to try to climb up.
Zombies will attempt to climb any surface, no matter how unreachable or impossible it is. In all even the simplest cases, these attempts will only lead to failure.
Even when there is a ladder, only 1 out of 4 people can succeed when a simple hand-hand-hand-climbing action must be performed. This fact has been confirmed time and time again through massive tests. Scientists believe that the greatest advantage over the undead is the ability to think.
The average mental level of zombies is lower than that of insects. At no time do they show reason or logic when trying to complete a task. Often failing, and then finding new solutions through trial and error, is a skill that is widespread in the animal kingdom but lost in the living dead.
Zombies repeatedly fail in experiments designed for rodents in the laboratory. In one field incident, a person was at one end of a broken bridge, and dozens of zombies were at the other end, one after another. The living dead kept falling over the edge as they tried to reach him.
Throughout the entire process, none of them realized what was happening, or made any attempt to change their tactics. Unlike novels and speculation, the zombies have never been observed using any tools, and even just grabbing a stone and using it as a weapon is something they are unable to do.
This simple task can create a mental connection to realize that a stone is a more effective weapon than an empty hand. However, ironically, the development of artificial intelligence makes it easier for us to integrate the intelligence of zombies. , compared with our more 'primitive' ancestors.
Even the most advanced computers do not have the ability to think for themselves; they cannot do anything except what they are told to do. Imagine a computer that is programmed to perform a function that cannot be suspended, improved, or eliminated.
No new data can be stored, no new instructions can be installed, and the computer can only perform one function, over and over again, until finally its power is turned off.
This is the brain of a zombie, an instinct-driven, never-ending machine that cannot be modified but can only be destroyed.
As far as is known, there is no emotional research on the living dead. All methods of psychological warfare, from trying to anger the zombies to making them feel pity, have only led to disaster in the end. Time Travel Novel Bar sj131
?Happiness, sadness, confidence, worry, hatred, fearall of themand a thousand other beings that make up the 'human heart', are as meaningless to the living dead as the organ of the same name. Is all of this humanity's greatest weakness or greatest strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever.
A not new idea is that zombies still retain the knowledge they had during their lifetime. Some people speculate that when the deceased returns to the place where they lived or worked before, they will be able to operate machines familiarly, or even show kindness or corresponding behavior towards their loved ones. . This kind of person believes that love is a great power that can overcome everything.
In fact, there is not a shred of evidence to support this empty fantasy. It is impossible for zombies to retain conscious or subconscious memories of their lives, because they no longer exist!
A ghoul will not be disturbed by former household pets, people close to him, his family environment, or anything else. No matter who he was or what he did during his lifetime, that person is gone forever, replaced by an automaton with no mind except the instinct to eat.
Where do zombies come from, where do they come from, and what kind of information do humanity¡¯s cutting-edge scientists have?
The latest archaeological exploration has discovered a cave along the Upper Semliki River in Central Africa that contains 13 human skulls, all of which were crushed.
Next to them was a large pile of fossilized ashes that analysis in the laboratory showed were the rest of the 13 people. There are paintings of human silhouettes on the stone walls of the cave, posing in a dangerous posture, with eyes showing an evil gaze.
"The discovery that there was another human body in its mouth was not considered a real zombie incident. One theory is that the crushed skulls and burned bodies were a means of disposing of the ghouls, while the cave paintings served as warnings. Others are asking for more solid evidence, such as fossilized remains of zombies, but the conclusion remains unresolved.
During his voyage to explore and colonize the west coast of the continent, Hanno Carthage, one of the most famous navigators of Western civilization, wrote in his voyage diary:
In a vast jungle on the shore, with green mountains hiding their peaks in the clouds, I sent a search party deep into the land in search of fresh water
Our diviners have questioned this operation. In their eyes, this is a cursed land, belonging to those demons abandoned by the gods. I ignored their warnings and paid dearly for it¡
35 people were dispatched, but only 7 returned alive
The sobbing statements from the survivors described a kind of monster in the jungle. Those "people" had the teeth of snakes, the claws of leopards, and eyes burning with the fire of hell.
Bronze swords cut into their breasts, but no blood flows out. They feed on the bodies of sailors, and their wails disappear with the wind
Our diviners warn the injured survivors that they will bring pain to anything they touch
We rushed our ships as quickly as possible, abandoning those poor souls in the jungle ruled by human beasts, may God forgive me.
As most readers know, many of Hanno's results have been disputed by historians. Hanno also described being confronted by a large ape-like creature he called a "gorilla." In fact, however, real gorillas have never lived in that part of the continent.
It can be inferred that this event may actually be a product of his imagination and that of historians after him. Even so, ignoring the obvious exaggerations about snake fangs, leopard claws, and flaming eyes, it is very similar to the living dead, that is, zombies.
The above can advance zombies to a long time ago, so where did the virus come from?
There are similar zombie incidents in history. Captain Cook, a British adventurer, was born in 1728 and died in 1779. He was a great explorer who was famous for his three exploration voyages.
¡°He added new content to people¡¯s geographical knowledge about the ocean, especially the Pacific Ocean. He is also credited with helping to prevent scurvy during long voyages by improving the crew's diet, including increasing fruit and vegetables.
The third voyage had no charm for this tough Englishman. On his third voyage to the Pacific, he mistakenly thought a group of zombies were a welcome group on a Hawaiian beach, and he was surrounded by a group of zombies. Time Travel Novel Bar sj131
Cook¡¯s last voyage was to search for the legendary Northwest Passage leading west to Asia.
After the second voyage, Cook received an annuity with the rank of naval captain and retired to Greenwich Hospital. He just lived there and started writing his memoirs.
But this secluded life was not in line with his nature as a great explorer, and Cook soon felt the monotony and depression of this life. Cook once said sadly: "My fate always pushes me from one extreme to another. For several months I felt that the entire southern hemisphere seemed too small."
In February 1776, Cook was elected as a member of the Royal Society and participated in some scientific seminars, but he was always tired of this peaceful life.
Some officials in the Admiralty learned of this situation and assigned him a task to lead an expedition to find the Northwest Passage. The so-called Northwest Passage refers to the mysterious passage between the North Atlantic and the Pacific. Like the so-called southern continent, it has also been an unsolved mystery for a long time.
Cook readily accepted the task and quickly made careful preparations. He prepared the usual navigational instruments, and also took with him an Eskimo dictionary.
The ship he was traveling on was still the old ship Determination that had made many extraordinary achievements for him. In addition, another ship weighing 298 tons, the Explorer, was commanded by Captain Charles Clark. Cook's third and final voyage set sail from England on July 12, 1776.
In December 1776, the Resolution and the Explorer arrived in Cape Town. After a short rest there, the two ships turned southeast across the Indian Ocean and sailed towards Queen Charlotte Sound.
In the middle, they passed Tasmania, where Cook left a group of pigs for breeding and breeding, which soon led to the development of the pig breeding industry in this place.
After making careful plans and extensive preparations for this expedition in Queen Charlotte Sound, Cook left Queen Charlotte Sound on February 25, 1775, crossed Cook Strait, and sailed northeast. Arrive in Tahiti via the Friendship Islands. After Cook made a brief stop here, he continued northward to find New Albion on the northwest coast of the United States.
On January 18, 1778, the Resolution and the Explorer arrived at the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. This place is far away from the North American continent and white people have not yet paid attention to it. Cook and his expedition became the first white people to arrive here.
After staying in Hawaii for a few days, the Resolution and the Explorer continued north and soon approached Alaska. It was winter in the northern hemisphere, with biting cold winds, storms at sea, and sometimes heavy fog, which caused many difficulties for navigation.
Despite this, Cook still insisted on going north, crossing the Bering Strait and entering the Arctic. However, the weather became increasingly bad. The last two expedition ships were blocked by huge ice floes in the Arctic Ocean, making it impossible to continue going north. In this case, Cook ordered a return voyage to Hawaii to search for the Northwest Passage next summer.
So on January 17, 1779, the Resolution and the Explorer returned to Kilakaika Bay in Hawaii. Cook once again landed on Hawaiian soil, when something unexpected happened.
On his third voyage to the Pacific, he was surrounded by zombies on a Hawaiian beach. He was mistaken for a blessing party. In addition to this person, there is Magellan, who also died of zombies, but in the Philippines.
After Cook¡¯s death, the logbook he left behind recorded his daily itinerary, providing people with a large amount of accurate and true navigation information. From this information, Captain Cook's keen characteristics are revealed.
Captain Cook was an outstanding scientist who brought rigorous standards to human exploration and cartographic skills. Cook's navigation practice greatly enriched people's knowledge of marine geography, and also deepened people's understanding of the ocean and the various natural phenomena that occur in the ocean.
He is the navigator who made foundational discoveries in maritime geography after Columbus.
Then let¡¯s take a look at the records of zombies in the past century. In 1913, Dr. Ibrahim Obeidalaha of Paramatso, Suriname, may have been a pioneer in expanding human scientific knowledge of zombies, and Fortunately, he's not the last person to engage in such taboo research.
Dr. Jane Wendell Haven, already respected in Europe for his research on leprosy, traveled to the South American colonies to study this strange plague with similar symptoms.
The symptoms of these infected people are similar to those seen around the world: festering ulcers, mottled skin, and flesh that is outwardly rotten. However, all symptoms resembling common illnesses stop there.
Dr. Wendell Haven's notes illustrate many issues.
These poor guys seem to be going completely crazy
They did not express rational thinking and recognition of their family members, neither slept nor drank water, and even refused any food that was not a living creature
Yesterday, a hospital orderly, just for fun and against my instructions, threw an injured rat into the patient's isolation room. One of them quickly caught??The pest then swallowed it whole, indicating an almost violent hostility displayed by the infected.
They will bite anyone who comes close, tearing them like animals.
A patient visitor, a powerful woman who ignored any hospital rules, was later bitten by her infected husband. Despite trying all known treatments, she soon succumbed to her injuries and died shortly after that day, her body being returned to her family's plantation.
Because it involved certain customs, my request for an autopsy was denied, and the body was reported stolen that night. Experiments using alcohol, formalin, and heating the tissue to 90 degrees Celsius eliminated traces of bacteria, and I determined that the source of infection was a living fluid.
For the first time in history, the virus was officially named "solarium", which means "infectious living fluid" and was a common term before the Latin word "virus" was used.
These excerpts are from a two-hundred-page, year-long record of this new discovery by Dr. Wendell Haven.
In this study, zombies were documented with a tolerance for pain, an apparent lack of reliance on breathing, a slow rate of decay, a lack of speed, limited agility, and a lack of self-healing.
Because of the rough treatment of his discipline and the inevitable fear on the part of the hospital, Wendell Haven was never actually allowed to complete an autopsy. For this reason, his research on the living dead could only go so far.
In 1914, he returned to the Netherlands and published his findings.
Ironically, this brought him neither praise nor ridicule from the scientific community. His story, like that of many others at the time, was overshadowed by the outbreak of the First World War.
A copy of his work was forgotten in Amsterdam, and Wendelhaven returned to the Dutch East Indies as a medical practitioner, where he later died of malaria.
It was only at the end of World War II that the Japanese obtained this precious manuscript information from Europe and began to conduct their zombie virus experiments.
Wendell Haven's main breakthrough was the discovery of the source virus that caused the emergence of zombies, and he was special and the first person to give the virus the name solanum.
Why he chose this term is unknown, but although his results were not famous among his European contemporaries, they are today well known around the world. Unfortunately, the good doctor's discovery was used in destructive ways.
The document was recorded in 1942 and was found in Harbin, which was still a Japanese-occupied area at that time. - Didn't finish reading?
