"Currently, the Southern Cross's flamethrower consumption is very high. I speculate that this should be the Southern Cross army's main weapon against the Zerg contamination."
"If you find any contaminated humans, burn them to death."
"Because this kind of pollution is chain-like, it's hard to prevent."
"The only way to get rid of this problem once and for all is to burn it."
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "Since it's a genetic problem, doesn't the Beichen Empire have genetic experts who can solve this problem?"
"For example, giving humans vaccinations, just like preventing viruses, can prevent genetic contamination by the Zerg."
"Achieve reproductive isolation between the Zerg and humans."
"At least this way, we can't let the Zerg produce more offspring."
Huo Yushen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said, "...The Beichen Empire prohibits any form of genetic research. Aside from genetic testing, any discussion of genetics is strictly prohibited."
"Even if our scientists had this idea, they couldn't put it into practice."
"Moreover, this kind of technology takes time to accumulate."
"Even if the Beichen Empire starts this kind of genetic research now, it's unknown how many years it will take to produce results."
"If we only rely on this, by the time we actually have research results, whether the Beichen Empire will still exist is still a question."
Xia Chujian frowned: "At this point, is it still necessary to follow this ban?"
"Then again, why does the Empire have this ban?"
"I have actually been dissatisfied with this ban for a long time."
"Those humanoids and those with genetic diseases, apart from being treated as slaves and pariahs, aside from waiting to die, is there no other option?"
Of course, Xia Chujian didn't dare to tell her aunt about it, but she had already guessed from the way Xia Yuanfang treated Sanzong, Aunt Chen, Yingying and Ning Zheng that this was actually related to gene therapy.
However, her family was of low status, and their influence was insignificant. This kind of historically groundbreaking work should be led by someone of higher status...
Huo Yushen looked at him and said calmly, "If you say this in front of others, you will have one more piece of evidence against yourself."
Xia Chujian shrugged: "Didn't I say this in front of others?"
"Huo Shuai, are you going to report me?"
Huo Yushen said: "Of course I won't report you, but you said you are used to it. Can you promise not to say it in front of others?"
Xia Chujian said, "So, we have to take advantage of the situation. We can't stop me from speaking. The only way is to get the law to abolish this ban."
"Then if I say something like this again, it won't be illegal, right?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
He said quietly, "In order to make your words legal, you want to amend the law. Xia Chujian, I think I still underestimated your courage."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "That means Huo Shuai doesn't know me very well."
Huo Yushen: "..."
He changed the subject and said, "Your idea about vaccinations does make sense."
"I'll report this to the higher-ups and see if there's a way to develop a vaccine to prevent Zerg genetic contamination, just like we did with the virus."
Xia Chujian secretly thought that her aunt would be the best choice for this job, but unfortunately, she would not let her aunt "show herself".
However, my aunt can study it privately and at least vaccinate the children and animals at home first.
And the next time I go home for a rest, I will also get a shot of this "vaccine".
Otherwise, you might get bitten by Zerg accidentally, which would contaminate your genes and make things difficult.
Xia Chujian hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to die after just one year on the front line.
She looked at Huo Yushen, nodded, and said, "Now that the research is done, can I have priority?"
“Because I was the one who came up with this concept.”
Huo Yushen said: "...Don't hold your hopes too high."
"As far as I know, even if a vaccine can be developed, it may take seven to eight years, or even more than ten years."
Xia Chujian: “…”
Huo Yushen continued, "When you go to the front line of Shaofu Star, remember not to act alone. You must stay with your company."
"You must remember that you are no longer an officer, but a Space Marine."
"In the military, Space Marines have no freedom of action."
"The interstellar fleet stationed on the frontier of Shaofu Star is very close to the Southern Cross."
Xia Chujian imagined the brutality of the battle there, took a deep breath, and said, "I heard that if the Zerg rely on humans to reproduce for a few more generations, they will be able to give birth to Zerg queens who can reproduce on their own..."
Huo Yushen glanced at her and asked, "Who told you that?"
