Chapter 158 The alarm sounds
Shen Bei was drinking leisurely when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Niu Niu Ben?
Shen Bei tilted his head. What did this guy want from him?
No hesitation.
Putting on his coat, Shen Bei, led by Niu Ben's assistant Yayi, came to the upper floor of the shelter and entered a building next to the research institute.
Shen Bei remembered that this building seemed to be a small factory.
It is not known what will be produced.
It has now been transformed into a biological research institute.
There is no change in appearance, only a sign is hung outside.
Step into it.
The overall color tone of the institute is mainly white and gray.
In the center is a spacious work area, surrounded by various equipment and instruments.
"Director Niu is in the office inside, please follow me."
Yayi indicated the route.
Shen Bei followed closely behind.
Look at the various equipment in the experimental area.
All these devices were produced by Chen Anzhi from the Mechanical Research Institute.
Because of the existence of shape-shaping people, the difficulty of producing equipment has been greatly reduced.
As long as Niu Ben gives a plan, it will be done in no time.
There is no tag name on the device.
But this did not prevent Shen Bei from obtaining information.
Just stare for a few seconds and the device information will automatically pop up in the corner of your eye.
The biosynthesis and fermentation equipment looks like a huge transparent glass ball, with various complex pipes and valves inlaid on the surface.
High-precision drug analysis and quality testing equipment, including liquid chromatographs, mass spectrometers, spectrometers, etc.
Constant temperature and humidity incubator, used to culture specific cell lines or biological samples.
Gene editing workstation - equipment includes a micromanipulation system, gene editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9, and high-end bioanalytical instruments for detecting and verifying editing effects.
Automated filling and sealing, including automatic fillers, sealers and quality inspection stations.
and many more.
Too much.
Even if some devices can read information, Shen Bei cannot understand what they are.
This is like a gorilla holding a blueprint, completely stunned.
It can only be said that there are specialties in the art industry.
If Niu Ben were given cheats, he would be so awesome that he would fly to the sky.
Arrived at the reception room.
Shen Bei pushed the door open and walked in.
Niu Ben was still busy organizing the information.
Shen Bei sat opposite him carelessly.
Niu Ben glanced up, closed the document, and said with a smile, "It's been a while, old friend."
Shen Bei put his legs on the desk, lit a cigarette and took a puff: "You'd better be busy."
Yayi felt that Shen Bei was very rude, so he reached out to lift Shen Bei's legs down.
Niu Ben glared at him, his face livid, and his tone harsh as he shouted, "What are you going to do?"
Yayi was stunned for a moment, hesitating: "He... this is not good."
"What do you care!" Niu Ben scolded.
Shen Bei suddenly smiled defiantly, his smile so eye-catching: "Niu Liu, it seems that you have completely adapted to life here."
Niu Ben laughed hoarsely, "Not bad. Would you like some butter tea or instant coffee?"
"Plain water."
"Okay." Niu Ben glanced at Yayi.
He was a chubby little guy wearing glasses and a little slow-witted. Perhaps he was shocked and puzzled by Niu Ben's attitude towards Shen Bei.
It was not until Shen Bei and Niu Ben's eyes were fixed on him that he raised his head in panic and wiped his clothes with his hands.
"How many days have you been here?"
"Director, three days. He was transferred here three days ago."
"Then do you know what I like to drink?"
Niu Ben spoke in a kind tone.
"No, I don't know, Chief."
"I like Pu'er, a pot of Pu'er and a pot of boiled water, go ahead."
"Yes Yes."
The little fat boy Yayi then stood up stutteringly and stumbled out. Only Niu Ben and Shen Bei were left in the office.
Niu Ben stretched his neck and looked at Shen Bei's hands.
Shen Bei opened his hands, turned them around, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I thought you were going to pull out a gun."
Shen Bei looked at him with a helpless look: "Am I the kind of person who would kill someone if I disagree with you?"
"Don't ruin your character." Niu Ben said with a smile.
Shen Bei: ...
Shen Bei raised his eyebrows: "I came all the way here, not just to drink water, tell me what's going on."
Niu Ben rubbed his hands together, his eyes moving as he deliberately considered his tone: "I heard Rock say that you have the ability to enter and exit the G01 area alone?"
"Nothing surprising."
"That's right. I believe in your ability." Niu Ben licked his lips and said, "Please do me a favor and bring back a few zombies for me."
Shen Bei: ???
Shen Bei was filled with questions when he heard this.
Living corpse?
Why does Niu Ben need this thing?
"What do you want zombies for?" Shen Bei was confused and asked, "Has your fetish reached this level?"
Niu Ben's face darkened. "Don't throw mud at me! My image is very positive right now. Several daughters of high-ranking officials are vying to marry me."
"There's no rule that you can only love one person in your life." Shen Bei smiled strangely: "In this world, love can overflow, just for the sake of reproduction."
Niu Ben's eyebrows twitched: "You are so negative."
"I'm optimistic enough." Shen Bei smiled.
"Okay." Niu Ben returned to the topic. "I need zombies for experiments. I heard zombies are no different from ordinary people. I need verification data to improve the problem of the high mortality rate of the secondary awakening potion."
Niu Ben said excitedly, "This is a rare opportunity. Shelter No. 1 doesn't even have this kind of experimental opportunity."
Shen Bei understood.
Based on the limited information Niu Ben had, he thought zombies were similar to ordinary people.
Try experimenting.
But he overthought...
Shen Bei looked at him calmly for a moment before speaking slowly, "Based on my observations, zombies are able to move freely. They're not resurrected, but rather have chips in their brains, controlling them from behind the scenes. Furthermore, their range is limited. Once they exceed a certain range, they'll immediately shut down and become as good as dead."
"So, your envisioned plan is impossible. Give up."
Niu Ben rubbed his chin for a long moment, digesting the information. His frown deepened. "So that's how it is...Does the zombie still have the abilities it had in life?"
"some."
"That's strange..." Niu Ben thought for a moment and continued, "The energy of a dead person disappears, and relying on just a chip to restore that energy doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."
"If that's the case, then I can completely imitate an oversized chip and control the evil seed."
I have to say that Niu Ben is very professional.
It was soon discovered that there was a crucial link missing in all the information about the zombies.
Before Shen Bei could say anything, Niu Ben's eyes lit up: "I heard that when a zombie's head is shattered, a blue liquid will flow out. It must be this blue liquid that gives the zombie this kind of energy!"
Shen Bei touched his chin. He had never thought of this point of view.
Niu Ben's statement is indeed consistent with this.
Shen Bei put out his cigarette: "Isn't your research on the second awakening potion? Why do you care about zombies?"
Niu Ben shrugged. "I'm interested in any research on biology. If I didn't rely on the Second Awakening Potion to make a living here, I'd really like to hire you to take me to the G01 area."
Shen Bei said with a hint of sarcasm: "I don't want to run around with a pig."
"That's a bit too much." Niu Ben glared. "Although I'm a rookie in combat, when it comes to science, I'm miles ahead of you."
"Ah...yes, yes."
Shen Bei coped with it.
After a while, Yayi came in with tea and boiled water and placed them on the table.
He just waited on the side, and the two of them chatted about random things.
Shen Bei signaled to Niu Ben with his eyes, asking him to drive Ya Yi away.
Niu Ben also knew that something might have happened to Shen Bei.
He waved his hand. "Go out and clean up. Put Black Bat's blood in the incubator, and then you can go home."
Yayi nodded excitedly and ran away.
"Your assistant... is a bit unmotivated."
Shen Bei could see that Yayi was very playful. As soon as he heard that it was time to get off work, he became very energetic.
Niu Ben lowered his voice and said, "You Wuchang sent me several assistants, but I drove them all away."
Shen Bei gave a thumbs-up: "Those assistants in front of me are stealing the skills, right?"
"Yes, he asks me all sorts of questions, always wanting to get key technologies from me."
"You're doing it right. Your trump card is the foundation of your life. Teaching your apprentice will only make the master starve to death."
Niu Ben chuckled and asked, "What's going on here?"
Shen Bei placed his hands on the table and asked quietly, "What's the progress on the N6 solution?"
Niu Ben was stunned and looked at Shen Bei with a strange expression.
schedule?
Are you embarrassed to ask me about my progress?
Niu Ben's mouth twitched: "I don't remember you giving me the Crystal Source Core."
Shen Bei looked disappointed: "The equipment is already there, how can there be no progress?"
"Don't make trouble."
The vein on Niu Niu Ben's forehead throbbed. "It's completely different. The equipment required is also different. If I rashly apply for other equipment, it will be difficult to explain when You Wuchang finds out."
"Then you are framing me?" Shen Bei crossed his arms. "Even if I give you the Crystal Source Core, you can't just apply for more equipment out of thin air."
"That's why I said this thing is difficult to do," Niu Ben said earnestly, "The equipment needs to be purchased from other shelters and brought back quietly without being discovered. I suggest you prepare an extra RV first."
Shen Bei really wanted to give Niu Ben an electric shock.
It's getting more and more outrageous.
The RV is nothing.
The key is that the equipment has to be purchased from other shelters.
Isn't this nonsense?
At least, there will be no progress in the short term.
After all, Titan is in a special position now. In the cold winter in the north, there is no other shelter at all.
Just now.
Suddenly, alarms blared throughout the shelter.
Short and harsh.
Generally speaking, the warning sound of a shelter has four meanings.
For example, the sound of beep beep... beep beep, means that a ferocious beast is approaching, reminding residents to be careful, and the guard team's superpowers will be dispatched to drive away and kill it.
This warning sound is the most frequent.
One is drip... drip... drip... This means that a beast tide is coming, which is rare and requires all residents to participate in the resistance.
The other is a long beeping sound, which indicates that the shelter is under attack from other shelters. This alarm rarely sounds, but once it sounds, it is often accompanied by civil unrest, rebellion, and change.
There is also a short warning sound of beep, beep, beep, beep... This kind of short warning sound means the evil species has appeared. You don't need to do anything, just stay quietly in the shelter and don't leave the Titan's encirclement.
And the warning at this time is the appearance of the evil species!
Niu Niu stood up and ran out: "Let's go and see the evil seed!"
Shen Bei's heart skipped a beat.
Bad dish!
RV!
