"Cough cough!"
"Everyone, I also have a proposal here. Would you like to hear it?"
After the secretary-general nodded, a glint of light flashed in Representative Li's eyes.
He adjusted the microphone in front of him and said softly.
"Before I make the proposal, I'd like to show you a video."
After saying that, the old man turned his head and winked at Hong Qiming, who was standing behind him.
Hong Qiming understood immediately and quickly took a USB flash drive from the file bag next to him.
The secretary-general looked at the old man with a puzzled expression and reached out to take the USB drive that Hong Qiming handed over.
Not only was the secretary-general puzzled, but everyone present except for those from Xia and Su was completely baffled.
Seeing the USB drive plugged into the computer and the projector start working, Representative Li's expression grew increasingly serious.
...
The video has started playing.
An aircraft with forward-swept wings and an all-gray and white color scheme appeared before everyone's eyes.
A line of text appears at the bottom of the video.
"Mysterious Woman-X".
The camera zooms out, and twenty Xuan Nu-X aircraft take off vertically from the ground in unison!
The next moment, the noses of all twenty planes simultaneously tilted upwards, drawing a graceful arc as they leaped into the air.
Almost everyone's attention turned to the old man.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the old man took a deep breath and slowly put down his teacup.
...
"Breaking news from our station."
"The latest results of the UN meeting have now been released."
"To address this solar crisis, the world has united for the first time to establish the Earth Humanity United Community of Shared Future, or simply the Human Union..."
A few days later, the news anchor's voice echoed throughout the entire Xia Kingdom.
After a brief silence, the Xia Kingdom erupted in excitement!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap?! What's going on? What happened a few days ago?!"
"Huh? What's going on? This is a community of shared destiny?"
"A shared future for humanity on Earth? It feels like something incredible happened at the UN General Assembly..."
"I'm so impulsive I'm flipping the table!"
"That's right, on site, I was that table!"
"..."
Unlike the joyous celebrations within the Xia Kingdom, other countries were clearly not so happy.
But things have progressed to this point, and there's no going back.
...
A few days later.
The First Laboratory of Xia Kingdom.
Lu Yongchang reached up to rub his forehead, sitting in the chair with a furrowed brow.
"Zero, how are the lab mice doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the computer screen in front of him lit up: "Professor, a total of one hundred million mice have been tested so far."
"But the situation is far from ideal."
"To date, more than five million mice have died."
Lü Yongchang's face darkened.
Over the past few days, through his and Mao Zhengzhi's sleepless nights of research, they successfully extracted a relatively pure special biological enzyme from the interior of Martian fungi.
Meanwhile, experiments to replicate this special biological enzyme have also been carried out in the biological sub-laboratory.
They specifically adjusted the concentration of the injection solution to an extremely low level.
One reason is to give the mice's immune system a buffer period.
On the other hand... the samples brought back by Xuan Nu No. 2 seemed like a lot at the time, but they were far from enough to feed 100 million mice!
This operation is also to save raw materials.
After all, it takes quite a bit of time to "retriev" the goods from Mars!
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
While this operation solved two major problems, it also created a very serious one.
Because the concentration was too low, these mice did not enter the original "suspended animation" state, but instead entered a state similar to hibernation of terrestrial organisms.
Moreover, it is an irreversible "hibernation"!
The mice have an extremely high metabolic rate, and even though their energy consumption rate has decreased significantly, they still won't last more than a few days.
Originally, Lü Yongchang planned to use nutrient solutions to sustain the lives of these mice.
However... once the number increases, even zero mice cannot be adequately cared for in all situations.
However, this situation has not been alleviated in the slightest.
It will only get worse over time.
According to Zero's estimate, 90% of the 100 million mice will die within three days, and by the fifth day, almost all of them will be dead.
Lü Yongchang sighed deeply.
...
3:58 a.m. the next day.
Lu Yongchang was wearing a coat and had fallen asleep on his desk.
Even in his sleep, he still had his brows furrowed.
The reason is simple: in just one day, the number of dead mice skyrocketed from five million to twenty million!
It can be said that in just a few days, his hands were stained with the lives of 20 million mice!
"professor!"
In the quiet office, a slightly mechanical, synthesized voice suddenly rang out.
"Professor, a white mouse has woken up."
The next second, Lü Yongchang suddenly opened his eyes.
He reached out and rubbed his somewhat stiff face vigorously, then asked in a deep voice, "Zero, are you sure you're awake?!"
"certainly!"
As the synthesized voice faded, the computer screen in front of Lü Yongchang quietly lit up.
"Look, this is the image of breeding cage FN1A2 in Factory B."
On the computer screen, a white mouse is burying its head in its food bowl, eating and drinking heartily. Clearly, its "hibernation" over the past few days has left it starving.
Seeing this scene, Lü Yongchang suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
"Zero, wake Mao Zhengzhi and tell him to head to this area immediately!"
As he spoke, Lü Yongchang put on his coat, opened the office door, and walked out!
