Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 449 Project Allocation
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Zeus. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. I am everywhere."

The elegant man Zeus bowed very gentlemanly to the many scientists with a warm smile on his face, looking exactly like a real person.

“Oh my god, is this God’s work?”

Tasya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she walked forward and stretched out her hand to touch the other person, but her hand went straight through the other person's body.

"Ma'am, please do not try to tease Zeus. This is extremely rude, and I am incorporeal, so you cannot touch me."

Zeus still had a smile on his face.

"Um... sorry, Zeus... Sir, I'm just a little curious."

Tasya took a step back with slight embarrassment. It was her first time seeing such an advanced artificial intelligence robot like Zeus, and she couldn't help her curiosity.

In fact, artificial intelligence has been around for a long time. In 1956, a group of scientists first proposed the concept of "artificial intelligence" at the Dartmouth Conference in the United States, marking the birth of artificial intelligence as an independent discipline. The conference was initiated by John McCarthy and others, who tried to use two months of academic discussion to finally formally bring about the concept of "artificial intelligence."

It's just that previous artificial intelligence was still very crude in application and its application areas were very narrow. Zeus was obviously completely different from the artificial intelligence they had ever come into contact with. He was like a real person, and his speech and even body language were very realistic, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

"Don't be embarrassed, ma'am. A strong curiosity is the best appetite for scientific progress, and it is also a good quality that an excellent scientist should truly possess. Come on, let me show you around your future work environment. Believe me, I will not let you down."

Everyone followed Sean into the laboratory. This laboratory built underground in the heart of the Sahara Desert felt like entering a futuristic world. It had a pure metal hard-core sci-fi decoration style and a variety of old-fashioned but well-preserved research equipment, making it seem like a live version of a sci-fi movie.

But each leisure and entertainment area is completely different from the research site. In addition to various entertainment facilities, it can also perfectly simulate the sky, beach or rural scenes outside. Although it is fake, it can still achieve the effect of relaxing the body and mind. When simulating rural or beach scenes, you can even clearly feel the freshness of the air and the earthy smell of the soil, as well as the whistling sea breeze and the smell of the sea.

This ensures that the staff here will not develop mental illness due to living in an overly monotonous world for a long time.

But these scientists were mostly not interested in the laboratory above. They couldn't wait to see the laboratory below. That was the real top priority and the most fundamental reason why they could be so active. Especially when they learned that there were some monster remains and a living monster stored here, they were even more yearning for it.

"Mr. Sean, please take us to see that monster quickly. It may be a valuable treasure!"

Tasia was the most enthusiastic about this. As the only researcher under the age of 30 among so many people, she was more curious than anyone else and had a higher initiative.

"Please don't worry, Ms. Slovenia. We Chinese have an old saying that good food is never too late. Sooner or later you will be able to study and improve everything here yourself!"

Sean smiled and comforted the other party, then continued to show everyone around.

Seeing this, Tasia didn't urge her any further. She was just a little anxious. After all, her curiosity and anticipation were already full.

When they reached the fifteenth floor, they finally saw the first zombie remains they had been longing for. Although this thing looked disgusting and dirty, these scientists did not dislike it at all. Even Tasya started to fiddle with it. Although they were all wearing protective clothing, Sean still felt a little disgusted even through the gloves.

But Tasya and the others had no such awareness at all. From time to time, they would open the zombies' mouths to observe the teeth inside, or pinch the zombies' intestines and rub them a few times. This scene looked like a group of Frankensteins doing research. But it is actually true to say so. The most Frankensteins should be the scientists who study biology or viruses.

"Wow, its body structure has completely changed!"

"Look, the teeth in its mouth are all sharp, just like a wild beast!"

"To be precise, it should be like a cat. Look at its tongue, it has hair and barbs, which is a characteristic of cats!"

A group of people looked left and right like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, sometimes pried open their eyes to look, sometimes opened their mouths to look, and from time to time uttered exclamations and marveled at the sight.

"Come on, gentlemen. This is just an appetizer. What comes next will be even more shocking. Perhaps you will be able to dissect them and study them slowly."

Sean showed a satisfied smile on his face, this was exactly the effect he wanted. If these people were not interested, that would be the worst. Without interest, they would most likely slack off at work, which would not be acceptable.

There was nothing special about the next hundred floors. Sean stored the remains of these monsters almost exactly according to the floors where the monsters originally appeared, but there was one difference.

On the 117th floor, led by Sean, everyone went deeper and saw a transparent freezer. What really attracted everyone's attention was what was inside the freezer.

That thing was shaped like a human, very strong, about two meters tall, with extremely strong muscles all over its body, but the skin color could not be seen due to long-term freezing. It had no hair, and the bulging veins were bulging high and clearly visible, twisting and turning like a centipede crawling on the surface of the body. However, its left hand was completely different from that of humans. Its left hand was a huge claw, shining with cold light, and even though it was frozen, its sharpness could be felt through the freezer. The only flaw was that one of its claws seemed to be broken, and there was a large piece of flesh missing from the left chest, so that people could clearly see the heart inside, but it was not beating at this time, and it was not known whether it was due to freezing or something else. The face seemed to be extremely distorted, with the chin and nose disappeared, and only white bones and extremely sharp teeth could be seen.

"Oh my God!" "Oh my god!" "This is unbelievable!"

A group of scientists walked over to observe it closely, but they felt a little disappointed because of the freezer. Such an unfamiliar species was lying in front of them, motionless, ready for anyone to pick, but they couldn't touch or observe it with their own hands. This really made them feel "hungry and thirsty", and they were so tormented that they wanted to smash the freezer on the spot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to remind you that this thing is still alive. It took us a lot of effort to subdue it and refreeze it. So I can't satisfy your desire to find out what's going on now, but you can study it slowly later."

Sean shook his head helplessly. Seeing the look on these people's faces, he knew what they were thinking, but this thing was not suitable for thawing now.

When the employees carried this thing out, everyone thought it was dead. However, after opening the culture dish not long after, they discovered that this thing actually still had signs of life, because its heart began to beat slowly and strongly. Just when the employees wanted to take action, who knew that this thing recovered very quickly, which resulted in the employees having to fight a fierce battle before they could subdue and capture it again.

Although they succeeded in catching it in the end, two employees were killed by the attack of this thing.

Moreover, the combat capability displayed by this thing is also very strong, with great strength and high agility. If they had not been prepared in advance, the damage might have been greater, or even the monster might have been let go. Even so, they lost nearly ten employees, which shows how difficult it is!

"I can't wait any longer!"

After hearing Sean's words, Tasya became obviously more excited. The heat in her eyes was as if she had taken an aphrodisiac. She was staring at the monster in the freezer, and she was almost getting horny!

Looking at the others, although each of them behaved a little more restrained than Tasya, their eyes also flashed with desire.

The next two levels made them even more excited, and they were like drug addicts who were high on drugs.

After the tour, Tasia turned her head and stared at Sean: "Sir, please let us get to work as soon as possible. I have prepared everything!"

"Ms. Slovenia, if you want, you can start work today. You don't need to worry about accommodation. I will arrange it for you. The canteen and other logistics staff and various ingredients will arrive today. However, you will have to use these old equipment temporarily. The new equipment will be delivered within three days."

Sean did not refuse. His subordinates were working very enthusiastically and he was very happy. How could he spoil their fun?
"That's absolutely no problem. Difficulties are meant to be overcome. Besides, we've already checked these devices. They're basically in good condition. They're more than enough for us to use!"

When they heard Sean's agreement, all the guys smiled.

"Very good. Then let's assign them to you. Dr. Nokanla, you are an expert in viruses, so you will be in charge of the research on the Pandora virus. I have asked Zeus to organize the basic information, and it has been transferred to the computer in your laboratory, which is on the 119th floor. You have a total of 99 laboratories from 119 to for you and Dr. Stephen to use."

Sean said to the old man with white beard.

"It is an honor to be in charge of the research on Pandora virus. I think it will be a stepping stone for human evolution!"

Nokanla's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. They had just learned what the so-called Pandora virus was. It was a virus obtained after purifying the original liquid extracted from a plant called "Flower of the Underworld". Those zombies and various monsters they had just seen during the visit were all creations of this Pandora virus.

As an expert in viruses, this is a perfect match for his profession. Although he has never come across similar viruses before, precisely because he has never come across them, he has a stronger passion for it.

But he didn't quite understand why Sean mentioned Dr. Stephen. Did he want Dr. Stephen to help him?

After all, Sean just said he would be in charge.

Dr. Stephen was also a little puzzled. Dr. Nokanla was in charge. Am I supposed to be his deputy?
This made him feel uncomfortable instantly. No one doesn't want to be in the lead when doing research. If he doesn't have the leadership, what's the point of doing research?
"Dr. Stephen, you are a biologist and medical expert. I hope you can lead the research on biological weapons. Dr. Nokanla will cooperate with you in this research. After all, the basis of biological weapons is the Pandora virus, so I hope the two of you can work together."

Sean's words dispelled the two people's doubts, but when they thought about it, it made sense. Dr. Nokanla's attainments in viruses must be very good, but he would inevitably be a bit stretched when it comes to biological weapons. After all, his understanding of biology is definitely not as good as Stephen's who specializes in this area, and he would probably be too busy to lead these two projects alone.

The same is true for Stephen. The basis of biological weapons lies in the Pandora virus, but he is not an expert in viruses. Their projects are closely related, so this kind of cooperation can complement each other.

"I understand, Mr. Sean, I won't let you down."

After he figured it out, Stephen's unhappiness instantly disappeared and a smile appeared on his face.

"Doctor Saladin, what I want you to study is the extract of the Flower of Life. I hope you can develop a vaccine or injection that can neutralize the Pandora virus. This project is given to you to lead. Your floors are from 78th to 98th. There are also floors for you to use."

Sean turned around and said to the middle-aged female doctor named Saladin.

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Sean."

Saladin also smiled. She was very satisfied with the project Sean assigned to her. In her opinion, the most worthy thing to study in this laboratory was not the monsters or anything else, but only two things. One was the "Flower of the Underworld" used to extract the Pandora virus, and the other was the "Flower of Life" planted on the same floor as the "Flower of the Underworld". These two plants were the foundation of this laboratory. Everything such as viruses, enhanced potions, biological weapons, etc. were extended from this basis.
