With the assistance of cultivators specializing in medical magic, the reverse engineering of this genetic weapon is progressing relatively quickly.
After all, with the complete Gene Dictionary in hand, and with the support of theory and Spiritual Qi, it's only a matter of time before a solution to this virus is developed.
Using magic to heal is naturally the simplest method, but this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. One person can be cured with magic, but in the end, the virus that was released is not completely killed, and others will still be infected in the future.
Previously, without the aid of magic, we could only resort to some extreme medical protective measures against this virus, which made us quite passive in dealing with it. But now that everyone has cultivated their abilities and their theoretical knowledge system at the genetic level is quite sound, we naturally have to take the initiative.
The method is simple: use gene editing to create a specialized weapon that targets only this one type of virus, and then use a "fight fire with fire" approach to completely eliminate the virus.
Of course, while this method can eliminate the virus, it cannot cure those already infected. Subsequent treatment still requires the assistance of magic.
A targeted solution has been developed, but should it be deployed now? It doesn't seem necessary.
The virus is currently only raging on the territory of the Eagle Country, and due to the war, transportation between the entire Americas continent and the outside world has basically come to a standstill. Even if the virus wanted to spread, there was no way to do so.
Even if it were to spread the virus to other places via global air circulation, that's no longer possible. The detonation of numerous nuclear bombs has caused a large amount of smoke and dust to enter the troposphere. Although the smoke and dust cover hasn't appeared particularly severe in the past few days, it was calculated by relevant personnel many years ago.
A nuclear winter caused by a full-scale nuclear war could last for one to three years in the atmosphere, a global catastrophe. In extreme cases, it could last even longer.
But the disasters brought about by nuclear war are not limited to this. Since most of the heat on Earth Star comes from the sun, once the entire surface is shrouded in smoke and dust, sunlight cannot penetrate, which will only cause the ground temperature to drop sharply, eventually plunging Earth Star into an ice age.
Although the full extent of the disaster has not yet been apparent in the past few days, it must be said that in the Americas, ever since the cultivators from Divine Land stormed into the capital, the sky has been overcast and no sunlight has been visible.
It's normal for the gloomy weather to last for a few days, but if it continues like this for the next few years, it's hard to say whether this land will still be suitable for human habitation.
In short, thanks to the current situation in the Americas, the virus is basically unable to spread. And since most of the people infected in the Americas are not from Divine Land, why should we care so much?
Under the influence of this virus, the entire Eagle Country may collapse without a fight in just a few days.
Of course, in the capital city that Divine Land had already occupied, the cultivators still treated the local infected people after the antidote was developed.
After several rounds of review, most of the remaining people in the capital of the Eagle Country are ordinary citizens. Divine Land has a plan to accept these people, so they can be considered as prospective citizens of Divine Land. Treatment is all that's needed, which is only natural.
The events unfolded largely as they had anticipated. After a few more days, the remaining cities in the Eagle Country could no longer hold out and began to descend into chaos, plunging the entire city into a state of disorder.
At this time, it would be very easy for Divine Land to send troops to take them down. Without losing a single soldier, Divine Land easily captured all of the remaining large cities of the Eagle Country.
At this point, the entire Eagle Country was effectively defunct. The remaining tasks were to clean up some peripheral areas and begin relief efforts in the cities that had been hit by nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, relevant battle reports and results were transmitted to the space carrier in real time, and the high-ranking officials of the Eagle Country, who had been detained for several days, finally got the results they wanted.
They signed the relevant agreements and acknowledged defeat.
There's nothing shameful about signing this agreement for them; after all, the country serves them, and all they're doing now is losing the large institutions that once served them.
As for patriotism, all I can say is that many years later, when I look back, I might feel a few sentimental thoughts.
Moreover, for them, the outcome was much better than they had expected.
They had already resigned themselves to their fate after being captured, but after several days of interrogation and questioning, they keenly realized that there was still another way out for them.
As long as you obediently sign this agreement, your life will be saved.
They spared his life not for any other reason than to legitimize the agreement and to push them out as targets for absorbing the newly incorporated racial hatred within Divine Land.
When faced with a crushing defeat, people often hate their own traitors the most, and only secondarily their opponents.
Therefore, the best way to achieve peaceful ethnic integration and unification is to keep this traitor alive, draw out the hatred of these people, and then, when the hatred has fermented enough, send him out to be executed.
This usually happens decades later, when the older generation has passed away and the new generation has largely forgotten the hatred. By then, the unification of the two places has been basically achieved.
It's no wonder that Divine Land was able to achieve unification; military unification was just the beginning. What followed was the unification of national identity, culture, and spirit. Only after all these were accomplished could the foundation for unification be truly laid.
Emperor Qin achieved military unification and the standardization of weights and measures, as well as the written language. However, in terms of spiritual and cultural identity, Xiang Yu still referred to himself as Chu when he died. He had not truly achieved unification based on cultural identity.
It was only after the establishment of the Great Han, and through many years of effort, that spiritual and cultural unity was achieved.
This is also the reason for the emergence of various Great Han later on, such as the Western Han, Chen Han, Red Eyebrow Han, and even the Xiongnu Han.
Regardless of who they are or what ethnicity they belong to, deep down they all consider themselves Han Chinese. This is a kind of cultural unity, and this identity has even continued into modern times.
During the warlord era, the independent regime in the Sichuan and Chongqing region was even called the Great Han Sichuan Military Government, demonstrating the significant influence of the Great Han.
Achieving world unification is naturally very difficult, but for Divine Land, there are already many precedents to refer to. Although it is difficult, it is not a major problem.
