Chapter 114: The Biochemical Research Institute's New Mission!
"Shurorororororo, Teacher, did you call for me?"
Caesar, wearing a White Coat, walked into Professor Freeze's Research Room with a slight hunch.
This place was naturally the 5.5th Floor of Impel Down, currently the Secret Base of the Biochemical Research Institute directly under the World Government Academy of Sciences. At this time, after accelerated renovation by the Construction Department, the Environment here had undergone drastic changes.
The silver-white Ground, walls, and ceiling were full of metallic luster, paired with Electric Gates. The laboratory was filled with bottles and jars containing eerie green liquid, holding various strange Creature organs. Coupled with the purple lighting, the place exuded an atmosphere full of Evil and terror.
To be honest, just looking from the inside, it was impossible to tell that this place was located inside the Great Undersea Prison.
"Yes, an Order just came from Mary Geoise. They want us to send someone to Area RL1556 to assist the Construction Department in building a Bio-Safety Station with isolation, sterilization, and disinfection Functions, and also to bring thirty sets of Advanced Hazmat Suits."
Hearing this, the over three-meter-tall Caesar had a look of surprise.
"RL?"
"I remember that's the Red Line, isn't it? Why build a Bio-Safety Station there? Does someone dare to release a Bioweapon there?"
"Also, what do they need Hazmat Suits for?"
Hearing his most excellent student's triple question, Professor Freeze rubbed his temples with a headache and sighed.
"I don't know either. Don't you know the World Government's temper? Since they didn't explain, it means we shouldn't know. So don't ask around carelessly. Remember this point, it can save your life!"
"Alright." Caesar was unhappy.
"Be serious after you get there. Although you're only sixteen, you know how to build a Bio-Safety Station, right?" Professor Freeze raised his head and asked.
Caesar nodded repeatedly with Excitement, laughing, "Yes, yes, yes, I just happen to want to go up and take a look around!"
"Hey, be steady after you get there. Absolutely do not run around everywhere. Every word you say must be carefully considered. It's best not to say anything unrelated to the work!" Professor Freeze continued to earnestly instruct him.
"Shurorororororo, I understand, Teacher."
Caesar chuckled, only feeling that his Teacher was making a fuss over nothing, talking as if the Red Line was extremely dangerous.
Professor Freeze saw his carefree appearance and knew he hadn't taken his words to Heart at all. He helplessly Shake Head, then handed over a set of Data/Files from the desk.
"Oh, right, take a look at this."
"What is this?" Caesar took it curiously and started reading. As he read, he softly muttered the keywords to himself, saying, "Land of Death, a Bio-Toxic Gas that invades the Human Body through skin contact, causing full-body paralysis while generating a Petrified Shell on the Body Surface to restrict Action."
Seeing this, his eyes lit up, and then his Gaze continued downwards.
"Mummy Virus, invades the Human Body through skin contact, causing symptoms of high fever throughout the body, rapidly evaporating Human Body moisture. An Infected person can transmit the Virus simply by touch."
"Ice Oni Virus, invades the Human Body through skin contact. The Infected person begins to exhibit low-temperature cold air from the Body Surface. Areas covered by the cold air will form frost, becoming uncontrollable and attacking others indiscriminately. Similarly, the Virus can be transmitted simply by touch."
In addition, on the last page of the Data/Files, he saw some relatively brief content regarding the conjecture and introduction of Muscle Relaxant.
"It's very strange. The Order from over there was to give this to you to look at, saying you should Research it yourself." Professor Freeze was also full of doubts.
"What about you, Teacher?" Caesar asked casually, gripping the Data/Files in his hand tightly.
Professor Freeze said with distress, "Of course, I'm still responsible for Researching Amber Lead Disease. Ah, it's just a bit tricky. Although it looks like just Chronic Heavy Metal Poisoning, the key is that it can be inherited by the next generation."
"It is indeed a very special symptom." Caesar had also followed his Teacher to interact with Amber Lead Disease Patients these past few days, and then expressed some of his own thoughts.
"Teacher, although my current knowledge isn't very solid, after reading about the various Viruses in this Data/Files, I was thinking if we could use Viruses or toxic gas to target the Amber Lead Substance?"
"Hmm?"
Professor Freeze looked at Caesar in surprise and said, "Continue."
"Yes, since Amber Lead Disease is hereditary, it means it's related to the Lineage Factor discovered by Dr. Vegapunk. And the Mummy Virus and Ice Oni Virus in this Data/Files clearly also have an Effect on the Lineage Factor. So, as long as we find a way to Research these two Viruses, and once the Technology is mature, we can create a Variant Virus targeting Amber Lead, directly solving the Amber Lead within the Human Body at the Lineage Factor level."
Professor Freeze blinked after listening, pondered for a moment, and felt that this line of thought was worth trying. He immediately smiled and praised, "You are indeed a Genius, Caesar!"
"Shurorororororo~~"
Caesar immediately showed a shy Expression upon being praised, wiggling his body awkwardly, and laughed while scratching the back of his head, "I just thought of it."
"Alright, you go and finish the Bio-Safety Station on the Red Line first. When you get back, we'll Research this 'Mummy' and 'Ice Oni' together!" Professor Freeze slapped the table and decided.
"Okay, okay, but I think that Land of Death is also quite interesting." Caesar said, blushing, pointing to the content in the Data/Files and praising, "I think its artistic sense is far greater than 'Ice Oni'. It must have been thought up by a great Genius. Although the latter's Effect is good, it looks too crude."
"Then why don't we find a way to combine them?" Professor Freeze said.
"Combine them?"
Caesar was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly, "You mean to change the transmission method of the Ice Oni Virus into the gasification of the Land of Death."
As he spoke, a Screen Feed subconsciously appeared in his mind: a patch of ice-blue toxic mist spreading throughout a City on an Island. All the Residents engulfed by the toxic mist rapidly developed cold frost on their Body Surface, then senselessly engaged in mutual Slaughter, eventually turning into a scene of complete silence.
"Ah—what a wonderful, artistic Bioweapon!" Caesar immediately felt a surge of Excitement and quickly turned and ran towards the Research Room's Gate.
"Teacher, I'm going to the Red Line now!"
He now wanted both to visit the Red Line and to immediately start Researching these interesting Viruses, but he didn't want to choose one; he wanted both!
Professor Freeze looked at the automatically closing Gate and smiled helplessly. At the same time, his Gaze became profound. He was wondering where the World Government got this Data/Files from.
The key was that no matter if it was the Land of Death, Mummy, or Ice Oni, they all looked like dangerous Biochemical Viruses with extremely Strong infectivity.
To be honest, his Bottom Line had not yet been broken, so subconsciously, he didn't really want to Research them.
But if Caesar's idea just now was correct, and Amber Lead Disease could really be solved with Viruses, it could indeed save the Citizens of a Kingdom.
Conflict, an extremely painful hesitation.
But then again, if he didn't follow the World Government's Order to conduct the Research, he definitely wouldn't be able to continue as the Director of the Biochemical Research Institute.
Coupled with the various Bio-Chemical Secrets he had known for so many years, there was an eighty percent chance he would be dealt with.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's just consider it for the Citizens of White Town, and also for my wife and daughter. As for the rest, let's see how the World Government uses it."
Professor Freeze comforted himself in a low voice.
