Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

According to the research on collapse radiation and ELID infection, the paper clearly states:

"People with this factor are more adaptable to environments contaminated by collapse fluid than others. Unless they are exposed to high-intensity collapse radiation, the spread of mutant cell mitosis and organelle irradiation will be slower than the clearance speed of their own immune system, and eventually all mutant cells in the body will be eliminated."

This description means that the immune individuals have mutated in their physiological characteristics and their tissues and organs have fully adapted to the collapsed radiation zone.

Raphael quickly pulled up the paper in his mind, skimmed through it twice, and immediately realized that there was a bad inference waiting for Tony:

"When he leaves the radiation contaminated area, he is very likely to suffer from immune disorder and organ failure due to lack of radiation collapse."

Given our current understanding of collapse and reverse collapse technology, it would be almost impossible to solve the problem that happened to Tony Gaggia.

In the ordinary world, scientists often regard the stable form of matter as solid. In the solid state, the molecular structure of the object is the most solid.

However, in the eyes of unknown civilizations, solid matter is not a good state of preservation. They understand the composition of matter as fluid, which makes their physical laws different from the existing basic laws.

From the perspective of basic theoretical physics, unknown civilizations have achieved an astonishing level of control over microscopic particles—specifically manifested in the high compression of matter in the macroscopic world.

The technology displayed by the ruins is a highly integrated complex system, and different reports also point out the complexity of the technology.

Years of research have enabled relic researchers to summarize those technological systems to a certain extent, and the final conclusion is that relic technology can be divided into "collapse technology" and "reverse collapse technology".

To put it simply, it is to pack a specific item into "item.zip", and the operation process of reverse collapse technology is to decompress "item.zip" into an item.

The use of collapse technology by unknown civilizations has become so common that the technology has been reported in ruins all over the world.

Also according to the technical analysis and results reports of those relic scientists - Raphael prefers to call them archaeologists, after all, all technology comes from archaeology - human beings' research on relic technology has stagnated for a long time, making it difficult for them to control even the most basic collapse technology.

If the relic technology is compared to a gas tank, and humans are primitive, the current primitive people would only use the gas tank as an incomprehensible natural firecracker. At most, they would add a tubular launcher to the firecracker and then use gunpowder to launch it.

After all, primitive people could not understand that gas cylinders are just daily necessities used by modern people to boil water and cook, let alone understand the correct way to use them.

It is worth noting that in the 70s, the USSR used collapse fluid to create a human-controllable non-nuclear weapon of mass destruction.

The United States also made similar weapons during the same period. The difference was that the Americans added identification objects to the manufacture of the container and used a sealed annular polarization device to make the collapse fluid visible.

The collapse fluid itself is transparent, but the collapse radiation it releases will excite the identification object, causing it to emit a bright green light.

It was the same transparent container with double-layer tubular protection that Tony saw in Dr. Gordon's apartment.

With just enough stimulation, 50 ml of collapse fluid can turn into a bomb.

According to the report, different relics display technology in different ways. Before the establishment of the Relics Science Agency (Archaeological Agency) in 92, the research on relics in various countries was limited.

In fact, large-scale ruins surveys had begun shortly after the end of World War II. However, the scientific capabilities at the time were unable to understand the key points of the "collapse technology". In the following 40 years, even superpowers could only mechanically transform it into inferior weapons.

Before the advancement of microscopic physics, people did not even realize that collapse technology as a weapon was not the most terrible. The real threat of this archaeological technology came from its modification of the underlying laws of the world.

Although it has not yet threatened the foundation of human cognition and science, its impact is tangible.

But the prospects are equally broad.

Collapse technology has become a bridge between the macroscopic world and the microscopic world. Under this bridge, matter can be disassembled and reassembled in any form, and even transmitted over long distances, which was unimaginable in the past.

Even today, the disruptive impact of collapse technology on basic physics is still difficult to digest. However, all this is even more insignificant compared to the reverse collapse technology, which has completely surpassed the heights that current science can reach.

After thinking about so many things in the past and the future, Raphael discovered that human beings' understanding of collapse technology and collapse fluid always remained at a very low level, although her cognition was also based on "human" cognition.

This is terrible news for Tony Gaggia.

"Can you tell me how bad it is?" Tony asked, his breathing becoming more steady and his mental state seemed to recover as well.

"very good."

Raphael paced the room, casting estimating glances at the ceiling and flexing her fingers. "ARA may be helping your body, or it may be destroying your balance."

"how come?"

Chapter 59 No Way to Know

"What the hell are you talking about?" Doug asked. "Is that test tube container dangerous?"

"Yes, it is very dangerous."

Raphael took out the Geiger counter, walked around Tony, and then left the room to rest for half a minute.

She looked at the blank screen with dissatisfaction. When Raphael came in, he looked at the street outside where noises were constantly rumbling, as if he hadn't noticed Tony's gaze, and said:

"Tony Gaggia, what do you think I'm worried about in this war? You'll say it's the invisible and intangible collapse radiation, the bullets that kill without blinking an eye... But I want to tell you - collapse radiation may become something you can't live without. It won't kill you, but you will die if you lose it."

Raphael turned to the alert Doug and asked, "You know what archaeologists call people who adapt to collapse radiation?"

"How should I know? I'm just a stock trader." Doug Sutton showed a helpless expression.

"Well, although I'm not sure yet, my intuition tells me that you should be the lucky one in a million."

Dong Ni was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth for a long time and only one word came out: "Huh?"

"Of course, you are also an unlucky guy."

"Yes, I am unlucky indeed."

Tony agreed with this statement. How could he know that the transparent container emitting beautiful green light was dangerous? No one had ever told them about these things. Almost all the information about collapse radiation and collapse fluid came from Raphael.

He had doubts before. As one of the first agents activated by the SHD National Security Bureau, he should be considered the backbone of the grassroots fighting force, but he rarely heard of anything related to ruins and collapse technology.

Is this a story made up by Raphael? Is this a means to make them defect from the SHD Homeland Security Bureau? And so on.

But the medicine and detailed information that the other party showed him, as well as the inhuman creatures that appeared in the dark zone of New York reminded him that what this Navy lieutenant girl affiliated with DARPA said was absolutely right.

Besides, when Raphael saw off the civilian Aibo Kehele at the bridge, the captain of the national guard stationed at the bridge invited her to leave with him.

The greatest sorrow in life is that you are not even worth being used.

Tony found that the value he could provide could not generate an exchange of interests with Raphael. To put it more bluntly, he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party because he had no use value.

Only with equal exchange can we get reasonable help. Although it sounds cruel, this is the law of society.

It is often said that "birds of a feather flock together". In fact, this was the case during our school days - good students played with good students, and poor students played with poor students.

This is also true in the market. If you cannot provide sufficient value, no one will do business with you.

After all, who would do something that would lose money?

The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit, isn't it?

Tony licked his dry lips, raised his head and looked at Raphael carefully, and said in a very serious and respectful tone: "Based on what you have learned, Lieutenant, what will be my final outcome?"

"The best outcome is of course that you survive, and the worst outcome is that you are sent to the dissection table or become one of those wandering monsters outside."

Raphael added sarcastically:

"I don't know what effect the ARA anti-radiation drug injected into your body will have. It may accelerate your radiation assimilation and adaptation process, or it may turn you back to a normal person. Which direction you will develop in depends on whether you are loved by the goddess of fate."

She turned her head and said in a slightly lower voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken the medicine out. I really wanted to get the airdropped supplies."

"It was my decision to give Tony the medication, it was none of your business," Doug Sutton said.

"Don't be so anxious to take the blame, you guys, I'm not dead yet!"

Tony didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He slowly stood up from the ground. The strange feeling in his body made him confirm once again the correctness of Raphael's words and the collapse technology and the content of the collapse fluid.

"If I'm an adapter, does that mean I won't become that thing out there?" he asked seriously.

"Maybe, but not necessarily. I can't give you the answer you want."

Raphael subconsciously used her fingers to twirl the hair that fell beside her ears. She was just a narrator. It was very good that she could understand the papers published by scientists and apply them to the right occasions.

More importantly, people today have not actually seen “immunes” and so there has been no corresponding research.

Although there are similar plans, they are all in the field of genetic engineering. Raphael thought about it and realized that there was a plan thirty years ago to reproduce Captain "Gavirul".

After a series of clumsy research and experiments on relic technology by the United States and the Soviet Union led to accidents, the world came back to its senses from the surprise of relic technology and was alert to the fact that it was very difficult to try to analyze the overall technology of the relics with current scientific theories.

This directly led to the aversion to studying unknown civilizations through "indirect contact" gradually becoming mainstream.

In the Beilan Island ruins discovered in the 20s, researchers found basically complete remains of unknown life forms.

It is believed to be one of the intelligent beings that created the ruins civilization. Judging from its attire, this life form is believed to be a guard of the ruins of an unknown civilization.

Therefore, the only sample was named "GAVIRUL-尉".

After GAVIRUL was properly preserved, Beilan Island and the site had no other useful research value and was located 67 meters underground. After the rescue excavation work was completed, it was soon sealed.

Twelve years later, due to the needs of urban development, the entrance to the Beilan Island ruins was completely buried and blocked, and new buildings sprang up on the ruins.

After that, GAVIRUL was forgotten for 30 years. It was not until the establishment of the United Nations Heritage Science Agency in 92 that research on GAVIRUL resumed.

However, the restart work seems to have been going on unsuccessfully. The way to destroy an alliance is to keep adding people to it, and Raphael thinks this is absolutely correct. It is because there are enough parties involved that GAVIRUL's restart research plan has been delayed.

According to records, the program was chaotic and lacked leadership from the beginning. In addition to political and ethical considerations, the biological experts within the Science Agency were also divided into two factions.

One group emphasizes that the GAVIRUL plan is the key plan to restart the ruins, and advocates a thorough study and technical replication of the ruins after activating them.

The other group advocates stopping the excavation of the ruins first, and investing the main funds and scientific research projects in the humanization plan of the embryo itself, using this as a bridge to first understand the dangers of unknown civilizations.

In an era when the international situation is always unstable, the latter proposition has been widely recognized, and the humanized embryo group cultivation program stimulated by the GAVIRUL gene has been launched.

However, Raphael did not know the specific success or failure of this plan, and the information provided by DARPA ended here. She lacked subsequent reports and data, and had no way of knowing what capabilities the Collapse Radiation Adaptor had.

This also prevented her from telling Tony Gaggia whether he still had a future in life.

Chapter 60 Decision

In fact, it is not difficult to adjust the genes of the embryos, but due to the extremely high mortality rate of embryos born from the embedded GAVIRUL gene, only two survived.

In order to ensure the integrity of genetic chromosomes, all embryos were female, and depending on the eggs, the two that survived showed differences in appearance between the Caucasian and Mongoloid races.

Among them, women with Caucasian appearance have white hair due to genetic defects, while women with Mongoloid appearance have normal hair color, ordinary black.

In addition, the two observed subjects were no different from ordinary humans during their infancy.

Based on this special phenomenon, the institute named this observation plan the "Black Lily and White Rose" plan, and the two sisters were code-named "Lily" and "Rose".

The subjects grew rapidly, and because their metabolism was much faster than that of ordinary humans, at the age of 7 they already showed the appearance of a normal 14-year-old human.

This means that the GAVIRUL gene is fully expressed during development. After reaching this conclusion, insiders and project participants were all excited, because this road may be a shortcut to the end.

However, when the program was in its 15th year, according to various tests, apart from the fact that their muscle attachment strength and prefrontal cortex activity were slightly higher than those of ordinary people of the same age, Lily and Rose did not show any other particularly unusual features.

When testing whether the observed objects could have any effect on the ruins, no actual interaction with the ruins' materials or remaining equipment was found.

After 20 years of observation, the GAVIRUL reconstruction project has basically failed, and the calls for direct research on the ruins have intensified.

After the embryo samples and record archives were preserved, the resources that were originally supposed to be given to the "Black Lily and White Rose" project were fully allocated to other project teams that were also working on relic-related technologies.

……

The lack of delivery had no impact on Raphael's judgment; instead, she realized that the project might have failed.

As a bionic humanoid who hangs out at the DARPA headquarters when she has nothing to do, she has had some contact with those talented researchers, and has also collected a lot of valuable and important information through constant exposure.

One point of evidence is that DARPA has not added a new scientific and technological research department related to relics, nor has it adjusted its existing work departments, let alone formed a new technical research team.

Perhaps there are other more secretive project teams, and the team in this regard has an independent system and a complete system in another place.

But one cannot help but ask, the existence of such a place is a slap in the face of the U.S. Department of Defense and a disregard for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The result is a struggle for power, mutual obstacles and attacks.

There would have been some action within DARPA, not to mention officials at the Department of Defense, but they never mentioned anything about it, let alone researching collapse technology by restarting the ruins.

Although Raphael is just a moving lump of metal in the eyes of most people, he is a robot that can be discarded and scrapped at any time as long as the core reverse-engineering technology is perfected.

But they all forgot that this guy is actually an artificial intelligence with a photographic memory and powerful analytical computing power.

Collecting those bits and pieces of information, with the support of a large enough database, would be enough for her to analyze a lot of things.

"It seems that, for better or worse, I can't leave New York."

A smile appeared on Tony's face. He took a deep breath and said, "My momentary curiosity actually made me make an irreparable mistake."

"It's not your fault. I didn't think it through and subconsciously thought that the person who contacted you at DARPA provided enough information. Besides, it was also me who issued the order to investigate Dr. Gordon, so..."

Tony interrupted, "All right, Lieutenant."

In front of Doug and Raphael, he opened the individual medical kit issued by the SHD Strategic Bureau to the agents, took out two doses of morphine and a cocktail enhancement injection, and injected them into the body without hesitation.

The powerful sedative anesthetic was quickly absorbed through the blood, and Tony felt that the abnormalities in his body had almost disappeared, and then he quickly injected a physical enhancement injection.

Damn it, I can’t make it, he thought to himself.

"Cesilia and Alki are still waiting for us, Sir!"
