Not Easy
Yue Yuan remained noncommittal. After Zhu Pete stood up from the driver's seat, he turned and walked out with him, reminding him, "But Pi Te, don't forget that agreeing to treat the illness is one thing, but to actually treat the illness, we have to wait for those guys in biological research to complete their analysis of the Dog-Headed People's biological characteristics, physiological conditions, bodily functions, and other factors."
"Uh, Commander Yue is right. I'll go find Doctor Yi Kai right away." Zhu Pete was taken aback, then said. It was indeed so; if Yue Yuan hadn't reminded him, he would have completely overlooked this.
Humanity is indeed Level 2 Civilization, but that doesn't mean that drugs from Level 2 Civilization will be effective against Primitive Civilization. Especially against extraterrestrials with completely different biospheres, let alone being effective, simply surviving a human drug would be an incredible feat.
If the symptoms are related to the removal of tissue lesions, it's relatively easy to handle. However, if it's a viral infection, then it's much more difficult to manage.
Not to mention that we must use plants from this planet to prepare the potions and medicines, we must also understand everything that Yue Yuan mentioned.
To understand all of this, you have to look to biological research.
The Biology Research Institute is only on its first mission to collect various plants and animals, so it's unlikely they'll get results anytime soon.
Zhu Pete suddenly realized that he had been a bit hasty in saying what he had just said to A Tu.
If this biosphere is also like the Wolfe Biosphere, with Levorotatory DNA structure, wouldn't that make things even more difficult?
"Why not just let A Tu fend for himself?" Zhu Pete thought for a moment, but then shook his head.
"After all, it was personally instructed by the boss, so I should still give it my best," Zhu Pete thought to himself.
He knew that even if he didn't do this well, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if he couldn't even do something as simple as this, wouldn't that mean he was incompetent?
Having made up his mind, Zhu Pete immediately took out his Personal Terminal and made a communication request to Yi Kai.
A few seconds later, Yi Kai's voice rang in his ears. "Minister Zhu? What brings you here? Is it about your hair? No, I remember your hair has already grown back after Gene Therapy."
Zhu Pete's face darkened. Back then, he had indeed visited Yi Kai's research institute quite a few times because of the issue of his baldness, but that was hundreds of years ago. How could this guy still remember?
Because he had visited Yi Kai's research institute quite often, he was quite familiar with Yi Kai. He could tell that Yi Kai was joking, but he didn't find it funny at all.
"Well, Academician Yi, it's like this." Zhu Pete explained the whole story in detail.
Yi Kai was silent for a moment before saying, "I can't help you with this. You need to find Shi Lifen. She's in charge of all the biological research on this planet. And this is a bit difficult. As far as I know, Shi Lifen and her team only started their mission today. It's hard to say whether they'll capture Dog-Headed People for research on their first mission, let alone have the research results by tomorrow."
"In my opinion, let those Dog-Headed People fend for themselves. They're just a tribe. I know Dog-Headed People 've already developed into nations. We can just use that tribe for research. To complete your mission, Chief, just find some people and have them pilot Tactical Armor and land in the capitals of those nations."
This mere race, barely forming a nation-state, seeing Tactical Armor descending from the sky, they'd believe anything, let alone gods. You could even say we're the God of Creation, and they'd believe it. Then you could take that king, those King Dog-Headed Person, to our base, and I guarantee the God of Creation myth will be deeply ingrained in their hearts—no, in their very souls.
I remember back in the 21st century, there were all sorts of religious beliefs on Earth. Think about it, even in the technologically advanced 21st century, there were so many ignorant people, let alone these primitive civilizations. Civilizations still in a state of ignorance are the easiest to fool. Trust me, you won't go wrong."
Hearing Yi Kai's words, Zhu Pete also felt that they made sense, but he still felt somewhat unwilling, so he asked, "Academician Yi, can't we just use a machine to scan and find out the Dog-Headed People's symptoms, and then perform surgery or something?"
Before Zhu Pete could finish speaking, Yi Kai's voice came from the other end of the communicator. "Minister Zhu, you seem to have some misunderstanding about medicine. Although I'm not a medical professional, I can tell you definitively that it's impossible."
The universe is vast and full of wonders, and the forms of life are incredibly diverse. Like the Kuntai People we encountered before, they are also Carbon-based life, but their DNA is almost completely different from ours. What is a cure for us is poison for them; what are commonplace microorganisms to us can be deadly diseases to them. And why do you think the Chief of Staff repeatedly emphasizes virus prevention before each planetary landing?
It seems it's not as easy as I imagined!
With a sigh in his heart, Zhu Pete replied, "Alright then, if that doesn't work, then we'll have to follow Academician Yi's method."
After hanging up with Yi Kai, Zhu Pete then contacted Shi Lifen, the person in charge of biological research for this planetary landing mission.
As Yi Kai had predicted, the results showed that Shi Lifen's team only brought back some plants and animals on their first expedition; they didn't actually try to capture Dog-Headed People.
Studies on the Dog-Headed People's physical structure, biological genetics, Base Pair count, Gene Map, biological characteristics, and other aspects were not truly conducted.
However, it was confirmed that the DNA helical structure of the life on this planet is Dextrorotatory DNA, just like on Earth, and it is also a double helix structure, but that's all.
Therefore, it is indeed quite difficult to cure Dog-Headed People.
This time, Zhu Pete completely gave up on treating the High Priest of the A Tu Tribe.
"Sigh," Zhu Pete sighed silently to himself after hanging up the call with Shi Lifen.
It was at this moment that his eyes, which had regained focus, saw Yue Yuan's back as he walked toward the bridge.
"Huh?! Could Commander Yue have done this on purpose? Perhaps he already knew that the idea of treating the illness couldn't be implemented right now?" Watching Yue Yuan's departing figure, Zhu Pete frowned, thinking to himself, "Since he knew, why didn't he just tell me when I mentioned treating the Dog-Headed People, instead of making me ask him myself? Hmm... Could it be... I understand now, Commander Yue is trying to tell me that governing the country through technology... Sitting in my position, I can't just know about the Security Department; I also need to have some knowledge of various scientific disciplines. Even if I can't become an expert, I should at least know a little bit about it. Hmm, the concept of governing the country through technology, it must be like this."
After some mental preparation, Zhu Pete turned around and returned to the Security Department to find another way to handle the tasks Yue Yuan had assigned him.
In this way, a few words from the Biology Research Institute caused the traditional approach of curing diseases and saving lives to be aborted, and instead transformed into another simple and crude method.
