The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2235 Value

How to measure a person's value?

Is it an economic contribution that can be created?
If we calculate based on an average monthly salary of 5,000 and working for 45 years, his total lifetime income would be around 3 million.

In the 2010 Chile copper mine accident, it cost about 20 million U.S. dollars to rescue the 33 miners trapped underground, an average of 600,000 U.S. dollars per person, while each miner's monthly income was only a few hundred dollars.
Is it value?
According to the average value, if a person starts working at the age of 20 and retires at the age of 65, he or she can work for a total of 45 years. Without considering the period of consuming but not creating value due to old age and physical frailty, the total amount in a lifetime is unlikely to exceed three million.

How much does it cost to save one person?

In the San Jose copper mine collapse in Chile in 2010, it cost about 20 million U.S. dollars to rescue the 33 trapped miners, which is equivalent to 600,000 U.S. dollars per person. At that time, each miner's monthly income was only a few hundred dollars, which is equivalent to 1,000 months, or about 83 years of salary.

In this case, rescue is a very uneconomical thing, but it is still done anyway, and there are many such cases around the world.

Because the measurement of value is never just cold numbers.

Just like a person, who may be ugly and ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, but is the most beloved child in the eyes of his parents.

The value created by people may be measured by numbers, but life cannot be simply measured by numbers.

Even if they know that there is little hope, they are willing to gamble their entire fortune just to keep their loved ones alive for a little longer; some are willing to give up themselves just to leave some money for their children.
In fact, without Agamemnon's reminder, Chiba Makoto knew that doing so would lead to endless troubles, and he also understood that even if he spent a lot of energy and effort, it would most likely be in vain. But he still wanted to try it, because he couldn't just watch a life pass away in front of his eyes.

just
This world is never subject to personal will.

Even Ultraman has ideas that cannot be fulfilled and lives that cannot be saved.

drop--

The vital signs monitor emitted a distant sound, long and low, and the monotonous curve on the screen turned into a smooth straight line.

The 'cocoon' is completely motionless!

"Failed!" Agamus' voice was very calm, without any emotion, but it gave people an inexplicable feeling of numbness.

He is so used to seeing life and death that no matter how life and death happen, it can no longer stir up any emotional fluctuations. Considering what Agamemnon said about the experiences on the planet Bazite, it is not difficult to imagine how many such situations Agamemnon has seen on the planet Bazite, to the point of being numb.

Horii said solemnly: "It is definitely not the same virus."

If the situation before us is roughly the same as that on Bazit, the hometown of Agamus, then it means that the Sphia virus that is now infecting humans is most likely the Sphia Vanguard type.

The three types of Sphia on Earth are all releasing their own viruses, making it truly a virus incubator.

The three types of Sphia each have their own specialties. The Sphia Sphere focuses on large monsters, the Sphia Vanguard infects organisms, and the Original Sphia likes to parasitize steel creations.

This is like treating the earth as a dish and dividing the "recipes" for each person.

"Ugh!"

Horii sighed deeply, feeling deeply worried about the fate of the earth and the future of mankind, so much so that a somewhat scary thought emerged in his heart:

Can humans overcome this difficulty?
Although he still has full confidence in Tiga, the enemy this time is different from before.

The monsters and aliens of the past could be seen, touched, and even beaten.

But this time, in addition to the giant monsters, the opponents also include "viruses" that cannot be seen by the naked eye, cannot be touched by the palm of the hand, and cannot be used by powerful weapons.

People can see monsters and aliens, and can run, escape, and find ways to hide from them, but what about viruses?
You can't see or touch it, and even if it comes next to you or enters your body, you will still be unaware of it. By the time you discover it, it's already too late.

Ultraman is not omnipotent. He can defeat monsters and save mankind, but he is not a panacea and cannot cure diseases. Otherwise, Ultraman's kingdom, the Kingdom of Light, would not need hospitals and the Silver Crusaders who are dedicated to treating Ultra Warriors.

The existence of hospitals and professional "military doctors" in the Kingdom of Light is enough to prove that Ultraman's light is not omnipotent, but just a kind of energy.

And the failure just now is the best proof.

Chiba Makoto released the light almost without reservation, but it had no effect at all. Apart from reflecting the light, the 'Sphia' cocoon did not undergo any other changes. It did not melt away as quickly as ice and snow as everyone expected.

Yes, he has become so sick, if he can change back, then it would really be a miracle.

Just like how to cook pork, humans have ten thousand ways, but to turn cooked pork back into cooked pork, no matter how hard they rack their brains they can’t figure out how to do it.

Seeing Chiba Makoto coming over with a somewhat depressed look, Horii sighed in his heart, then walked over quickly and said comfortingly: "You have tried your best."

"Why didn't it work this time?"

Chiba Makoto was quite confused. The last time he used it on Agamus, the effect was very good. The 'Sphia Scales' that appeared on Agamus' body disappeared very quickly, and Agamus had no sequelae until now.

But when it was used just now, it didn't work at all. The 'Sphia Scales' were completely immune to 'light'. As for strengthening the light and turning it into a stronger 'radiation', Chiba Makoto did not use it. The reason was very simple. Normal cells were much weaker than mutant ones. If it was strengthened further, even if the Sphia Scales could be melted, the normal cells would be killed before that.

It's like using a soldering iron for disinfection. No matter how stubborn the bacteria or viruses are, they are completely defenseless in front of the red-hot iron and are killed instantly. But at the same time, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more human cells are also devastated.

Before the light is strong enough to melt the Sphia scales, it will first melt the human cells, which are not much stronger than paper, into slag.

The same intensity worked before, but it has no effect this time.

Either Sphia has mutated, or it is not the same virus, or the disease has lasted too long and Sphia's scales have matured into stubbornness. Apart from these reasons, Chiba Makoto could not think of any other reasons. Although he has great power, according to the classification of the Kingdom of Light, he is just a warrior, not a scientist. Even Ultraman Hikari, the chief technology officer of the Science and Technology Bureau and known as the Edison of the Ultraman Department, does not know everything.

Medical and biological experts and scholars began to process, take samples and seal them according to the procedures.
Chiba Makoto was watching from outside through the thick glass as a group of professionals wearing the highest level of biological protection suits used a variety of instruments to take samples from different parts of the body, carefully placed them into test tubes, and then sealed them into portable freezers.

This series of processes is complex and tedious, and every step must be done carefully and cautiously to avoid being affected by external factors as much as possible, so as to maintain the accuracy of the sample.

Everyone was not holding their breath, but they were concentrating completely.

For a moment, the huge room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Only the occasional "tick" sound told people that the world was not silent.

but
Didi didi! ! !

Suddenly, a series of rapid noises broke the silence, causing Chiba Makoto to raise his hand and click on his watch which was integrated with many high-tech technologies. It immediately released a soft light and projected a report in the air.

Agamus turned around and quickly read through the document. Then he sighed and said, "It seems that he is not Patient Zero."

It was originally thought that this was the first patient infected with the Sphia virus, but the content of this report denied this speculation and the Sphia virus had already spread.

The report came from the police station. The police station in K area found a terrible biological nest in an apartment in the jurisdiction. The reason was that the apartment manager knocked on the door to collect the apartment management fee, but no one opened the door. Instead, he smelled a strange smell from the crack of the door. Because he was worried about something going wrong, he contacted the patrolman and opened the door. As a result.
A house full of surprises!!!

Let’s put it this way, nearly a quarter of the people in the entire apartment building are planning to move, and half of the remaining people also want to move. The rest don’t want to move, but their finances don’t allow it. However, they have also started browsing rental information.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—

Speeding all the way!
The magnetic warning light is placed on the roof of the car, making a loud noise. It doesn't matter whether the light is on or not, it just flies close to the ground.

It took Chiba Makoto only twenty minutes to reach the destination, which was a one-hour journey.

But correspondingly, Horii, who was riding in the car, had a pale face, and Nakajima Tsutomu vomited as soon as he opened the door.

Even Agamus's face turned a little pale, but he was holding on with great willpower.

The ride was so thrilling and exciting that one would wish to cut off one's senses, because even with one's eyes closed, one could clearly feel the tires leaving the ground and the car tilting forward rapidly, while the surrounding vehicles were honking their horns, all of them scared by this crazy car and using their horns to express their inner emotions.

But it’s really fast.

It only took 20 minutes to reach the destination, and even during the evening rush hour, this speed is absolutely beyond reach.

"Wow, Captain Qianye, you really are... Wow."

Nakajima Tsutomu, who passed the pilot rotation test, realized at this moment that he also suffers from motion sickness. At least he is feeling nauseous now.

"I'll go up and take a look first."

Chiba Makoto looked normal and was jumping upstairs. Agamemnon followed closely behind him and there was nothing unusual about him. Only the 'normal people' Nakajima Tsutomu and Horii felt their legs were weak. It was difficult for them to even walk, let alone climb the stairs.

The area around the apartment building has been blocked off, with cordons set up in the streets and alleys. Patrolmen are maintaining order and dispersing the crowds of onlookers. Further in are armed soldiers patrolling in full gear, their sharp eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, while inside the apartment, a large number of people in chemical protective suits are coming in and out.

Chiba Makoto routinely showed his ID to enter the scene, even though the guards had already hurriedly moved the roadblocks away when they saw him.

There is no way, it is too recognizable, this face is the best pass.

If he didn't want to appear too shocking, Chiba Cheng would have wanted to jump up and go straight to the fifth floor. However, even with two legs, he climbed the stairs very quickly. It didn't take long for him to reach the room where the suspected "biological nest" was found. At first glance, it was indeed quite terrifying.

The standard 'working' apartment, which is only about 20 square meters, is like a spider's cave, with webs everywhere, intertwined layer by layer.

But the lines that make up this net are red lines as thick as fingers. And they are not ordinary red lines. They look like 'blood sausage' squeezed out of flesh and blood. The originally white walls are also largely red, with countless root-like red lines spreading on them and connecting to these blood nets. At first glance, one can't help but think of the 'mother nest' in biochemical works.

In the center of the room, a skeleton was hanging crookedly, like a sheep scorpion, with the flesh and blood removed by someone. It made people wonder if the flesh and blood filling the room came from...
"What is this?"

Chiba Makoto looked at this extremely horrifying room and felt it was unreal.

Is this world the Resident Evil from the Monster Universe?

As he said this, Chiba Makoto turned around and saw undisguised surprise on Agamus's face.

Agamus felt Qianye Cheng's gaze and immediately shook his head and said, "Bazite Star has never appeared."

After a pause, he added, "At least before I left, Bazite didn't appear. Of course, it might have appeared, but it just wasn't discovered, or the news didn't spread. After all, Bazite was almost bombed into ruins, and the communication within the planet was almost completely cut off, so a lot of news couldn't spread very far."

".So what do you think this is for?"

Chiba Cheng asked again, everything has a purpose, even a simple single cell has reproduction engraved in its genes, not to mention the highly intelligent Sphia. There must be a reason for creating such a "biochemical mother nest", but Chiba Cheng has no ideas for the time being, so he can only brainstorm and see if he can brainstorm something.

Agamus also frowned as if thinking hard, staring at this extremely strange room, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't have any for now."

But before Agamus finished his words, the blood-threaded tumors in the room suddenly moved, like tentacles, rushing towards the door in unison, and those closer to the door even directly wrapped around Agamus.

This sudden situation frightened Agamus so much that he subconsciously tried to dodge, but the flesh and blood tentacles came extremely fast and were in front of Agamus in the blink of an eye, leaving him no time to dodge.
