A New Mission for the Biochemical Research Institute!
"Whoosh whoo..."
Caesar, dressed in a white lab coat, walked into Professor Fritz's study with a slight hunch.
This is naturally the Level 5.5 of Impel Down, now the secret base of the Biochemical Research Institute directly under the World Government Academy of Sciences. At this time, thanks to the accelerated renovations by the Construction Division, the environment here has undergone tremendous changes.
The silvery-white, metallic-looking floor, walls, and ceiling, along with rows of electrical gates, and the numerous bottles and jars filled with eerie green liquid containing various bizarre biological organs, combined with the purple lighting, created an atmosphere of evil and terror.
To be honest, just looking at it from the inside, you would never guess that this is actually the interior of Impel Down.
"Yes, orders just came from Mary Geoise, instructing us to send people to RL1556 District to assist the Construction Division in building Biochemical Safety Station with isolation, sterilization, and disinfection capabilities, and to bring along thirty sets of Advanced Hazmat Suit."
Upon hearing this, Caesar, who was over three meters tall, looked astonished.
"RL?"
"I remember that's the Red Line, why would they build Biochemical Safety Station there? Does someone dare to release biological weapons there?"
"Also, what do they need hazmat suits for?"
Hearing his best student's 3rd Company questions, Professor Fritz rubbed his temples in exasperation and sighed.
"I don't know either. Don't you know the World Government's temper? Since they haven't explained, it means it's not our place to know. So don't ask around. Remember that, it could save your life!"
"Fine," Caesar said, displeased.
"Be serious once you get there. You're only sixteen, but you should know how to handle Biochemical Safety Station, right?" Professor Fritz asked, looking up.
Caesar nodded excitedly and laughed, "Yes, yes, yes! I was just thinking of going up for a stroll too!"
"Hey, once you get there, be careful and don't wander around. Think carefully before you speak, and it's best not to say anything that's unrelated to work!" Professor Fritz continued to earnestly advise.
"Whoosh whoo..."
Caesar chuckled, feeling that his teacher was making a mountain out of a molehill, as if the Red Line were some great danger.
Professor Fritz, seeing his carefree attitude, knew he hadn't taken his words to heart at all. He shook his head helplessly and handed him a document from the table.
"Oh, by the way, take a look at this."
"What is this?" Caesar asked curiously, taking the gas and examining it. As he looked, he muttered the keywords to himself, "Shinokuni, a biochemical gas that enters the body through skin contact, causing total paralysis while simultaneously creating a petrifying shell on the skin to Binding movement."
His eyes lit up when he saw this, and then he continued to look.
"The Mummy Virus enters the body through skin contact, causing symptoms such as high fever and rapid evaporation of body fluids. An infected person can transmit the virus simply by touching it."
"The Ice Oni Virus invades the body through skin contact. Infected individuals begin to experience low-temperature coldness from their skin, and frost forms where the coldness covers them. They become uncontrollable and attack others indiscriminately, friend or foe. The virus can be transmitted simply by touching them."
In addition, he also saw a brief introduction and speculation about Muscle Relaxant on the last page of the document.
"It's strange. The order from over there was for me to send it to you, saying that you should study it yourself." Professor Fritz was also full of doubts.
"And what about you, teacher?" Caesar asked casually, clutching the documents in his hand tightly.
Professor Fritz said with a sigh, "I'm still in charge of researching Amber Lead Syndrome, of course. Well, it's a bit tricky. Although it looks like just chronic heavy metal poisoning, the key issue is that it can be passed on to the next generation."
"It is indeed a very special symptom." Caesar had been in contact with patients with Amber Lead Syndrome with his teacher these past few days, and then shared some of his thoughts.
"Teacher, although my knowledge is not very solid yet, after looking at the various viruses in this material, I'm wondering if it's possible to target Amber Lead and lead using viruses or poisonous gases?"
"Um?"
Professor Fritz looked at Caesar with surprise and said, "Continue."
"Yes, since Amber Lead Syndrome 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 document clearly also affect the Lineage Factor. So, we just need to find a way to research these two viruses, and once the technology is mature, we can create variant viruses that target Amber Lead, directly addressing the Amber Lead in the body at the level of the Lineage Factor."
Professor Fritz blinked after listening, pondered for a moment, and then decided that the idea was worth trying. He smiled and praised, "You are indeed a genius, Caesar!"
"Whoosh whoo..."
Caesar blushed upon being praised, swaying shyly and scratching the back of his head sheepishly, saying with a laugh, "I just came up with that idea myself."
"Alright, you go and finish up your work in the biosafety lab on the Red Line first, then come back and we can study this 'mummy' and 'Ice Oni' together!" Professor Fritz slammed his hand on the table and made his decision.
"Okay, okay, but I think that Shinokuni is quite interesting too." Caesar blushed and pointed to the contents of the document, praising, "I think its artistic sense is far greater than 'Ice Oni.' It's definitely the brainchild of a genius. Although the latter has a good effect, it looks too crude."
"Then why don't we find a way to combine them into one?" Professor Fritz said.
"To merge into one?"
Caesar paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "You mean to change the way the Ice Oni Virus spreads into the gasification of the Shinokuni?"
As he spoke, an image unconsciously surfaced in his mind: a turquoise poisonous fog permeating a city on an island, with all the residents swallowed by the fog rapidly developing frost on their bodies, then mindlessly killing each other, ultimately turning into a scene of deathly silence.
"Ah--what a wonderful, artistic biological weapon!" Caesar was immediately excited and turned to run towards the laboratory door.
"Teacher, I'm going to the Red Line right now!"
He now wants to both explore the Red Line and immediately begin researching these interesting viruses, but he doesn't want to choose one over the other; he wants both!
Professor Fritz looked at the automatically closing door and smiled helplessly, his eyes becoming deep as he wondered where the World Government had obtained this information.
The key point is that whether it's the Shinokuni, the Mummies, or the Ice Oni, they all appear to be dangerous biochemical viruses with extremely high infectivity.
To be honest, his bottom line hasn't been crossed yet, so subconsciously he doesn't really want to figure it out.
But if Caesar's idea was correct, and a virus could indeed be used to cure Amber Lead Syndrome, it could truly save the people of a kingdom.
A agonizing internal struggle, an extremely painful kind of hesitation.
On the other hand, if he didn't follow the World Government's orders to conduct research, he would definitely lose his position as the director of the Biochemical Research Institute.
In addition, given the various top-secret biochemical information they've gathered over the years, it's highly likely they'll be disposed of.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's just consider it as a sacrifice for the people of Flevance, and for my wife and daughter. As for the rest, let's see how the World Government uses it."
Professor Fritz lowered his voice and tried to reassure himself.
