Chapter 384 Double-edged Sword



On November 20th, the Speaker of the Parliament of Hope, His Excellency Arthur, began his lecture in the Institute's large conference room.

Logically speaking, if Zhou Zhuo wanted to hold such a lecture, most researchers would think that he had some new results and wanted to synchronize them with various departments.

But the speaker is here to give a lecture? Or is it related to strange beasts?

What is he talking about?

Twenty tips for hand-to-hand combat with strange beasts?

Even if such a thing really exists, no one would dare to learn it even if you dare to teach it!

Therefore, most people came to this must-attend lecture with the mentality of listening for fun.

I guess it's just some glorious deeds, and you have to listen to them for fun.

Until the speaker, who seemed to have nothing to do with scientific research, began to talk about his understanding of exotic beasts and mycelial life through PPT.

“…Through the battles and experiments so far, we have confirmed that we are facing a complete ecosystem with mycelium as the main body.

"Compared to a normal ecosystem, its characteristic is that everything is within a controllable range. Whether it is a strange beast, a mutated plant, or a decomposer that can recycle dead bodies at any time, they are essentially all controlled by the same will.

“Our observations over the past few decades match this conclusion perfectly:

"The so-called tactical changes of the alien beasts are actually the mycelium will's learning and imitation of human behavior. It is precisely because of their strong imitation ability that they can create those high-level alien beasts that can simulate superpowers to a certain extent..."

Lin Qingliu shared all his understanding without reservation, except for one thing: he had not yet told everyone here about the aliens and spaceships.

This blockbuster has its own strategic value and must be used in places that are important enough to achieve a decisive effect.

As the lecture progressed, the researchers in the conference room went from initial disdain to surprise, and then to opening their notes and writing furiously.

Each of them has experienced some degree of stuck in their research tasks, and many of the conclusions described by the Speaker, if true, would be able to greatly speed up their research progress.

Faced with this generous sharing of knowledge, which was no less than Zhou Zhuo's, the researchers quickly revealed their own thirst for knowledge.

A morning passed quickly in endless talking and writing. Lin Qingliu even strengthened the functions of some of his organs so that he could continuously output content in the most energetic state of mind.

It was noon, and Lin Qingliu gave his final opinion -

The erosion of mycelium ecology on humans can be divided into two aspects, namely the material level and the spiritual level.

The erosion on the material level is like the riot that broke out in the first half of the year and ended in a bloody rain. It infects through mycelium and tries to assimilate humans into becoming a part of them.

The erosion on the spiritual level is carried out little by little using the biofield, which interferes with reason to gradually blur human's self-cognition and assimilate them on the spiritual level.

The people attending the meeting soon understood the fundamental reason why Hope City had not fallen.

The gathering of a large number of humans in a small area makes the intensity of the biofield too high, making it impossible for the second type of erosion to proceed.

The first type of erosion will be blocked by the city defense forces and the Holy Shield, and will eventually be completely eliminated.

Their survival seemed like a subtle coincidence. Once any imbalance was lost, the collapse of Hope City would only be a matter of time.

But at the same time, these elites who are good at thinking about problems have also found two special countermeasures:

Now that it has been confirmed that the hyphae are the dominant ones, we can study the chemical substances in the hyphae.

As for the spiritual level?

Combining the ideas of the deputy director and the speaker, they understood another fact - the erosion of the biofield is bidirectional.

Finally, the speaker of the Hope Council finished his long speech. Just as everyone was about to return to the laboratory to apply what they had learned, Zhou Zhuo, who had been sitting next to the speaker, suddenly said:

"The specialists in charge of weapons research and biological research can stay for a while. The rest of you can leave first."

Dozens of researchers, young and old, were gathered in the front two rows.

They all have their own guesses about what will happen next.

Perhaps there is a more important secret?

Or maybe it’s a task that needs to be told separately?

Lin Qingliu glanced at the dozens of people below and saw a polite young man on the right side of the first row.

Ji Yongxing was soon out of danger after getting adequate rest and nutrition.

After a brief reunion with his parents, he returned to his job again.

The energy level upgrade he gained in the battle enhanced his thinking and observation skills, and brought him new abilities. He now had enough confidence to study the jar of mysterious substance from Lin Qingliu.

However, at this moment, he was also looking at the Speaker who was smiling kindly.

The last time they met each other was on the city wall, but one of them was standing and the other was lying, and the other was just an unknown hero.

After just a few days of absence, he has already reached the pinnacle of power in Hope City... Life is truly amazing.

Seeing that the other party was also looking at him, Ji Yongxing nodded politely, and then the meeting officially began.

Looking at the people with serious expressions, Lin Qingliu did not hide anything.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I have a very important study that needs everyone to do."

He switched the PPT to show a cross-section of an arm:

"This is a rare implant that is generally irreversible, but because of some serious side effects, we need to find a way to overcome it."

A middle-aged researcher raised his hand, and the Speaker signaled him that he could speak.

"Excuse me...what does this have to do with our weapons department?"

“That’s a good question.”

The speaker showed no dissatisfaction on his face. He switched the slides to the next page and zoomed in on a certain part:

"This is a very sensitive self-destruct device, which falls into the category of biological modification weapons. If you want to complete the operation, you must overcome the effect of this device."

The researchers below nodded upon hearing this, and gradually fell into thought and silence.

"One more thing."

Lin Qingliu opened the third set of PPT, but the atmosphere seemed to become a little more relaxed.

“I plan to include the proposal of individual exoskeleton in the agenda, and auxiliary programs can be added internally to help them gain an advantage faster in close combat.

“I will personally participate in motion capture and use my experience to help soldiers increase their chances of survival.

"This action module is called..."

Arthur looked at a researcher with a vague expression:

"Twenty tips for fighting monsters."
