Robert became even more excited upon hearing the news that there were still astronauts stranded in space.
He pointed to the sky, eager to know more. "How did you know they were still in the sky?"
"They broadcast to Earth via radio, and we received the signal," Zhang Tianyuan said calmly.
Robert slapped his head in frustration; he had a bad habit.
That means they rarely listen to outside radio broadcasts.
He had a radio station that broadcast to the outside world all the time, but he almost never listened to it himself.
If he had this habit, he might be able to receive signals from the space station.
but...
Robert froze, realizing what he'd done. So what if he heard the space station's signal?
That would only add to one person's suffering.
"Can you rescue them? Get them to a safe landing."
Robert temporarily put aside the matter of the Mutual Aid Society; whether he believed it or not was another matter. He was more concerned about the safety of the astronauts.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what we're working on right now. Our Mutual Aid Society has sent 1,500 aerospace technology personnel to your spacetime for this operation."
"They have now been escorted to the space agency, launch center, and various research institutes to obtain technical data related to the space station. Once they have obtained enough data and made sufficient preparations, they can guide the astronauts to land."
"In addition, we have another team of 500 people working at another launch site... We also plan to restart your global navigation system to serve survivors worldwide..."
As Robert listened to Zhang Tianyuan's account, he gradually lowered his guard.
The Mutual Aid Society is indeed making efforts to save those three poor astronauts in space.
Two thousand people were mobilized, all to save three people in the sky.
These people were not, as he had previously imagined, purely there to invade.
Zhang Tianyuan also noticed Robert's change, and he smiled as he pointed inside the research institute:
"Let's go in and take a look. If we hurry, we might still be able to get you to have a space-to-ground communication with the astronauts."
Robert followed closely behind Zhang Tianyuan, listening to him speak.
"Our purpose in coming to New York this time is twofold: to obtain original data on the KV Virus and to eliminate the disease."
Dangerous strains in the poison research institute.
Robert said, "After the New York crash, I came back specifically to clean up the virus strains in the lab, and now this research institute is no longer in danger."
It was only after cleaning up the stuff in the Mutavore research institute that Robert dared to walk around New York City.
Otherwise, who knows, one day the Darkseekers might bring out some terrifying Mutavore.
He is only immune to the KV Virus; he has absolutely no resistance to other Mutavore found in the laboratory.
"Did you take the original data on the KV Virus with you?" Zhang Tianyuan asked, remembering that Robert had set up a laboratory in his home.
Robert shook his head. "There's too much material; I can't move it all by myself. But over the past year or so, I've often taken some out of it and brought it to South Street Seaport to look through."
Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the data storage area. There was a thick blast-proof steel door, and the two thick walls on both sides had been blown open with a large crater.
Even so, it wasn't blown through.
Although its indoor location might have made the demolition team hesitant to use excessive explosives, it's clear that this data center's security level is far higher than that of a bank vault.
At this moment, the demolition team is using a large drill bit, intending to open up the wall along the large crater created by the blast.
When the password is unknown, this classic method is always the most effective.
The experts from the KV Virus research team waited anxiously on the sidelines.
But with Robert here, all that trouble is unnecessary.
As the director of the research institute and the person in charge of preventing and controlling the KV Virus, Robert has the highest authority within the institute.
His pupil information, combined with a password, can open any door.
"This is Lieutenant Colonel Robert, who was in charge of KV Virus prevention in the New York area. He should be one of the people in this timeline who has conducted the most in-depth research on the KV Virus."
"These are Mutavore from our Mutual Aid Society. They are working on the KV Virus, and we have successfully developed KV Vaccine."
Zhang Tianyuan's introduction caused both sides to widen their eyes.
"Can the vaccine you developed turn Darkseekers back into humans?"
We urgently need all the information and data related to the Darkseekers that you have!
Both sides were vying to speak at the same time.
Robert gestured to everyone.
Let's all calm down and exchange information.
Robert was greatly disappointed when he learned that the Mutual Aid Society's vaccine was not the reversal vaccine he had imagined and could not turn the Darkseekers back into a human.
However, he still shared his findings from the past year with the Mutavore at the Mutual Aid Society, and also talked about how he built a laboratory in his "home" to develop a reversal vaccine.
At the entrance to the database, the two groups stood engrossed in conversation, forgetting their real purpose of going inside to search for original Mutavore data.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head; he was not optimistic about the reversal vaccine.
Just as he had thought, the human body is not a piece of clay that can be molded however one pleases.
If one injection turns you into Darkseekers, and another turns you back into a human, then Newton... no, that's not his problem, it's Darwin's probably turning in his grave.
And even if they succeed, would a human who reverts to Darkseekers truly still be human?
Every Darkseekers, in its unconscious state, must have devoured one of its own kind.
That is, people.ノ②З
What will those who were converted think?
What would the survivors think?
This is a massive ethical chasm, enough to bury everyone else in it.
In the Legend World, humanity can even split into "purebloods" and "demons"...
The fact that Zhang Tianyuan has not used the Wishing Machine to request the reversal vaccine until now is a large part of the reason.
Robert and the Mutavore only ended their conversation after the soldiers had moved all the items out of the database.
Both sides gained a lot.
Robert had accumulated a wealth of records of live experiments, while 2012 offered a deeper and more systematic understanding of the structure of Mutavore.
Zhang Tianyuan was in the communications vehicle outside.
According to calculations, the space station is about to pass overhead.
The communications personnel are ready to communicate with the International Space Station.
Robert also hurriedly ended his conversation with the Mutavore and rushed to the communications vehicle to wait to speak with the astronauts in space.
Zhang Tianyuan handed over the microphone, letting Robert speak to the astronauts in space himself.
Towards the crackling, static sound.
Robert asked somewhat nervously, "Hey, is anyone there?"
Soon, Hill's surprised voice rang out:
"This is the International Space Station. Are you receiving our signal from North America?"
