Chapter 291 - The Era Has Changed (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Earthlings transmigrated to the Other World, they faced the invasion of the zombie virus and uncovered the potential in their genes. The depth and scope of their research into viruses surpassed what the virology on Earth had reached.
There were more than one hundred virus research centers in Dragon City, and gene medicine was connected to viruses as well.
After the zombie catastrophe sifted out the weak, the surviving humans had much stronger immune systems, and they were not afraid of most viruses.
But to ensure that the zombie catastrophe would not happen again, when legitimate virus research centers modified brand new viruses, they had to set up defensive precautions to ensure that the viruses would not be infectious to humans.
“So, this means that this is a viral infection created by surgical means, and it was used specifically to target Spirit Creations Creatures?” Meng Chao was contemplative. “So, what’s the deal with the Giant Sandworm suddenly swelling up several times its size and obtaining a brand new skill? It evolved from a monster to a superbeast. How did that happen?”
Gao Ye was just about to answer when the monitor monitoring Trash Site 4 suddenly screeched, and an entire patch of land suddenly collapsed.
The surface of the land had been created by a mountain of trash, and there were a lot of holes in it because of the Giant Sandworms crawling underground. It had long since become incredibly brittle.
The workers had accidentally touched a fragile part underground while they were dragging the carcass of the super Giant Sandworm out, and quite a number of equipment was crushed.
“I’ll take command,” Gao Ye said through the communication channel.
Then, he sat down in a chair in the lab that looked like the examination chairs in a dentist’s office. It was also bound with all sorts of dense pipe wires.
His brain was gradually enveloped by a superbrain.
The pipe wires shone when mental strength gushed out endlessly through his temples and forehead. Then, through the internet, it went straight to Trash Site 4.
Something amazing happened.
A rather clumsy Giant Sandworm suddenly looked up. With movements that were way more agile than they should be, it crawled into the drainage pipe.
It was like a scalpel that cut straight into a lesion and accurately found the spot with the super Giant Sandworm. It ate the trash and rocks that blocked the workers from going forward, which soon cleared up a tunnel.
As someone slowly spun a winch, a steel wire rope finally dragged the super Giant Sandworm’s carcass to the surface, which was covered by a soft cloth.
The workers cheered.
Gao Ye sighed in relief. He removed the superbrain and stared at the super Giant Sandworm on the screen. “It’s too beautiful…” he mumbled.
“Director Gao, were you controlling the Giant Sandworm just now?” Meng Chao asked with great interest. “I never knew that monster controllers could control biochemical beasts from so far away.”
“The internet in Dragon City has become incredibly steady. 9G technology is enough to transfer human brainwaves and mental strength. So, monster controllers and biochemical beasts don’t necessarily have to stay together. Of course, it’s only when your mental power is strong that you can control creatures remotely,” Gao Ye answered casually.
He looked at the drainage pipes on the screen and pondered it for a while before he added, “When I controlled the Giant Sandworm, I noticed quite a lot of industrial sewage water and mud soaked by chemical waste.
“I think that the Giant Sandworm ate this complicated mud while being stimulated by the mutated rabies, which is why it experienced this unknown mutation.
“This is something that we’ll only be able to figure out once we take samples of the industrial sewage water and the contaminated mud. We’ll need to conduct tests and examinations.
“No matter what, this super Giant Sandworm is definitely a miracle. It’s so large and beautiful. This is the perfect machine of flesh and bone. Compared to those crude scrap metals from Heavenly Works Machines, it’s much better. This is the future of our civilization!”
Meng Chao stared at Gao Ye for a long time. “Director Gao, you seem to… be really averse to runic symbol technology.”
Gao Ye smiled. “The graduates of Monster University are all very averse to runic symbol technology, don’t you think?”
“True.” Meng Chao thought about it and agreed. “Runic symbol machines use up more crystals, their failure rate is higher, and they cause more pollution. In many situations, they can’t compare to biochemical modification technology in terms of being environmentally friendly, efficient, and producing no pollution.
“Aside from that, there is one more major problem with runic symbol machines. As the development of automatized technology continues and all sorts of runic symbols with new functions are discovered or developed, they will gradually take over the positions of most normal people.”
Once they found the super Giant Sandworm, Gao Ye became really happy and much friendlier. He looked incredibly excited and like he was seconds away from declaring Meng Chao as his bosom buddy.
