Chapter 805: Urgent Mission

Bacteria on Mars were discovered on the three colonists of the Ares Project, which caused a stir in the international community. The fate of the entire Earth's biosphere seems to be in the hands of the Huaguo Lunar Orbit Construction Committee. hand.

Fortunately, during this crisis, Huaguo showed a serious and responsible attitude of a big country. The Lunar Orbit Construction Committee announced the response plan almost immediately, which calmed down the panic-stricken people.

Actually speaking, Lu Zhou didn't take it seriously at first, after all, there are too many things that he needs to worry about every day.

It wasn't until the morning after Xiaguang's return that he woke up that a light blue pop-up window suddenly appeared in his field of vision——

[Urgent Mission: Biological Invasion (90-day time limit)]

At first Lu Zhou thought it was because he hadn't woken up yet, and his eyes were dazzled.

It wasn't until he sat up from the bed in a daze and stared carefully for a long time before he reacted suddenly.

He reached out and slid his hand in front of his field of vision, closing the light blue pop-up window. Lu Zhou immediately lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and muttered silently in his heart.

"system!"

The familiar feeling hit the cerebral cortex, and the eyes opened again, and the eyes were pure white.

Without any hesitation, Lu Zhou quickly walked to the full system screen in the center of the system space, and reached out and pressed the option on the task bar.

Sure enough, the urgent task was hanging at the top of the task bar.

The task chain icon below it not only turned gray, but also added a locked icon next to it.

"...It seems that this means that if the emergency mission is not solved first, other missions will be temporarily locked and unable to proceed?"

But speaking of it, this was the first time he saw the option of an urgent mission.

It seems that with the expansion of his influence and the deepening of research into the deep water area, it has gradually begun to affect the future of the entire civilization.

After staring at the locked icon and thinking for a while, Lu Zhou reached out and selected the [Urgent Mission] icon.

Soon, the detailed information of the mission appeared before his eyes.

[Urgent Mission: Biological Invasion (Danger Level: 3)]

[Explanation: On the way to the ascension of the high civilization, the low civilization is always advancing in the process of dying. According to recorded statistics, more than 90% of the destruction of civilization is rooted in its own arrogance, rather than outsider aggression. 】

[Requirements: To solve the invasion of alien species, the measures that can be taken include but are not limited to:

① Dispose of the source of infection: whoever brings trouble, we will send him to hell (nationalism awareness +10, risk: ?%).

②Natural selection, survival of the fittest: One day the closed ecosystem of the earth will be opened, and those who cannot embrace the future are doomed to be eliminated, but it is only a matter of time. (Materialism Awareness +3, Social Darwinism Awareness +5, Risk: 70%)

③The gift of the universe: Objectively speaking, this is a threat and an opportunity. Study it and find a way to coexist. (Materialism Awareness +10, Risk: 39%)

④Pray for them: It may be a good choice to resign to fate. In short, find a place to put them up first. Maybe they will recover after a while? (Spiritualism Awareness +10, Risk: 15%)

[Reward: Unknown]

Lu Zhou: ...

After reading the task list from the beginning to the end, Lu Zhou didn't know what expression to make. He even didn't know where to start complaining because there were so many slots.

Regardless of the unknown awareness bonus and the risk assessment, what left him speechless the most was the column of mission rewards, which contained nothing but a capital "unknown".

I think the content of the reward is probably related to the choice he took in this task? Or is there any information contained in the task reward that cannot be disclosed to him now?

But it doesn't mean that you don't leave any information, at least give him a little hint!

After staring at the task bar and pondering for a while, Lu Zhou finally made a decision in his heart.

It is definitely impossible to deal with the three colonists first, and this option can be ruled out with a little thought. This will not only lose the international image that Hua has finally established, but will also bring about a serious diplomatic crisis.

If anyone will be happy about this, I am afraid it will only be NASA.

This not only means that they will have reasons to refuse to pay the remaining balance payment, but also strongly condemn the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee with snot and tears. No one will go back and care about the failure of the Ares project. People will only remember the cause of the death of the three colonists and the efforts made by NASA to save them...

"The time limit for completing the task is only ninety days, but there is no criterion for judging the completion of the task. Does it mean that the criterion for judging is based on the choices I make?"

"The theoretical risk of option 2 should be the greatest, and it can be directly ruled out just like option 1."

"So..." Lu Zhou stopped his gaze on option 3, "This is the most suitable choice."

Whether it is to completely eliminate the parasitic bacteria on the three colonists, or to prove that it is harmless, or to find a way to allow it to exist in the earth's biosphere in a harmless form, first of all, it must be known through research that it is what.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou did not dare to hesitate, and immediately left the system space.

The time left for him is only 90 days. In terms of research in the field of biology, this time can be said to be quite tight. The most important thing is that it is difficult for him to help directly. He can only indirectly support the research of other scholars. This undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to him in completing the task.

Opening his eyes, Lu Zhou sat up from the bed, took out his mobile phone without any hesitation, called Shangjing, and reported the situation to the elder who is the chairman of the Lunar Orbit Committee.

After listening to the report, the elder immediately asked seriously.

"Is the problem serious?"

"It's more serious," Lu Zhou said in a serious tone. "At present, we know very little about this bacterium, and there is not enough clinical evidence to prove that it is harmless. We only know that it has tenacious vitality, and it is difficult to pass normal bacteria. Even if it is harmless to the human body, it is difficult for us to ensure that it can be gently integrated into the earth's ecosystem."

Although I don't know what the concept of danger level 3 is, but I think the system can issue tasks to him overnight, and even temporarily lock his quest chain, so the problem is still a bit serious.

Without any extra words, the elder said immediately.

"I have understood the situation, what support do you need?"

Lu Zhou: "The time for the return of the three Ares colonists to the United States may have to be delayed. At present, we cannot believe that NASA and the White House can perfectly handle this matter under the pressure of public opinion."

"However, in order to better resolve this incident, we need the help of professionals from the international community."

"I propose to cooperate with other countries on this issue. It is best to set up a special scientific research organization to bring in the R&D forces of other countries to participate. This is a global crisis, but if it can be handled well, it is for us It's also an opportunity."

After listening to Lu Zhou's request, the elder on the other end of the phone nodded and said in a serious tone.

"Okay, I will meet your request as soon as possible. In addition, before the decision of the central government is made, you have the highest decision-making power on this issue. I believe in your professionalism. I will leave this matter to you!"

Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"Well, I'll do my best."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou then called the Bureau of Science and Industry and briefly informed Director Li about the situation. Then he immediately changed his clothes, and then called Wang Peng.

"Come to Zhongshan International to pick me up."

"Go to the Jinling Space Launch Center."

"The sooner the better!"
