The reason why Neon was able to discover this anomaly is inseparable from their achievements in the field of marine research.
Within the Neon East Ocean Research Institute, a research team specializing in the circulation of nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus discovered unknown components in marine organisms.
Later, after Mochizuki Shinichi used the Demon Brain, Neon determined that the new unknown substances appearing in marine organisms were related to Merlin.
Neon is very frightened because they are an island country. If the surrounding marine life cannot be eaten, Neon will face skyrocketing prices.
You must know that a large part of Neon Island’s food source comes from seafood, and even seafood around the world accounts for a large share of food.
If marine life is affected and becomes inedible, will this impact spread to land life?
If that is the case, the entire Blue Star's ecology will be reset, and agriculture will become the crude oil of the new era.
The number of hungry people will explode exponentially.
Therefore, after confirming the matter, Neon knew that this matter was too big to handle on his own.
Then contact Amerikan as soon as possible and bring in several major powers to set up a joint research group.
So far, humans have not found any negative effects of these unknown substances on the human body.
But one obvious phenomenon is that similar unknown substances will appear in human bodies after eating raw marine life.
But as long as it's cooked, it won't have any impact.
After discovering this phenomenon, various countries have repeatedly issued announcements emphasizing that their residents must cook food at high temperatures before eating it.
Japanese food, which focuses on the original flavor of the ingredients themselves, has suffered a devastating blow.
Other countries have issued announcements stating that they strongly do not recommend their residents to eat sashimi food, and China has directly forcibly removed raw food products from Japanese food stores.
Originally, Chinese netizens thought that Neon would protest, but they themselves suggested that Neon people should stop eating seafood.
For a time, there was a lot of speculation among the people, and there were various rumors.
Omakase, which was once popular in China, can no longer be opened. How can omakase without sashimi be sold for a sky-high price of 2,000 yuan a piece?
This is an industry that has been accidentally injured.
Of course, this does not mean that Japanese materials have disappeared in China. The boss of Omakase has invested so much, and it is impossible to give up in a hurry without getting back the money.
Omakase has been transforming into high-end skewers. As long as it looks exquisite enough, it will cost you two thousand yuan without any negotiation.
When Zheng Li was chatting with Li Miaomiao, he remembered hearing that Li Miaomiao said that Japanese food stores in Suzhou were undergoing transformation.
Japanese food has transformed into skewers and barbecue, which has directly affected the Korean barbecue business.
As for Northeastern barbecue, there are almost no similarities in category and price, so it is not affected much.
Zheng Li continued: "Actually, there is no need to panic too much, since this kind of substance appears in all creatures in the ocean."
"That means this has become a common phenomenon."
"Since nothing has happened now, we don't have to worry too much."
"All we can do now is wait for Merlin to take action."
Academician Zhao lamented: "I am not as open-minded as young people."
"Our initial fear was that it was some kind of virus that was transmitted to humans through marine life."
"Research has found that these unknown substances are not toxic and even require high-temperature cooking to disintegrate them."
"At the same time, it cannot be carried by bacteria and then spread in the air."
Blue Star researchers are most afraid that these unknown substances can be carried by viruses and then enter the human body.
Because of the current characteristics of the human immune system, it is powerless against unknown substances.
"We really don't know Merlin's purpose at the moment."
"There is always a feeling that Merlin has been accumulating strength. If he waits until he accumulates power to a certain extent, things will go to an unpredictable point."
"Although this is just my personal feeling, the internal portrait of Merlin's character believes that Merlin is someone who can cooperate."
Zheng Li nodded and said, "I think so too. With Merlin's ability, he can completely hide himself."
"Instead of engaging in magic coins and technology exchange, if Merlin has a confrontational relationship with humans, this will not do him any good."
Academician Zhao sighed: "I hope so."
He changed the subject: "Do you know of anyone in the market who is deliberately targeting you recently?"
Zheng Li shook his head: "I don't know, targeting us? Science and Technology Biotechnology?"
Zheng Li really didn't know. He was so busy with his own affairs that he had no time to care about these things.
Academician Zhao explained: "The main reason is that the truth-clarification system you have established has affected the interests of too many people."
"That's why we are currently being targeted by the public. However, your response has been very clever, which has effectively dispelled the general public's doubts about the truth system."
Zheng Li: "The truth system was developed in response to the requirements from above. It was not created by me."
"The truth system looks simple, but actually it takes a lot of effort."
Academician Zhao: “I understand, the problem is that you need to understand that the government is also made up of individuals.”
"Everything is good for some people and harmful to some people. The truth system is of course a good thing for those at the top. They can see the real facts."
"But for the people below, there is no room for confusion in the middle, and there is no room for moving around."
"Although I have been a professor before, I have been a dean and principal for a long time."
"I have thousands of people under my control. There are many things that people below tell you, which may be far from the truth."
Zheng Li interrupted: "The truth system is only used by the media and governments at all levels to issue announcements, and will not become a normal mechanism for internal communication."
"They will have less leeway, but they will only be able to fool the masses and will not use it for internal communication."
Academician Zhao: "You can't guarantee that technology will not be abused. If you start this way, you won't be able to stop the car."
Zheng Li shook his head: "No, we communicated very clearly at the beginning and would not abuse it."
"And even if they want to abuse it and change it to the effect they want, without my cooperation and relying on the official Chinese technical staff, they really can't do it."
Academician Zhao asked: "What if you need to cooperate?"
Zheng Li said bluntly: "If I don't cooperate, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do. Moreover, when we first discussed the demand, I had a document signed by the other party as evidence."
Zheng Li actually doesn't care whether he does it or not, but he really doesn't want to see the abuse of the truth system.
Because if the truth system is abused internally, it will inevitably lead to the same external abuse. In this case, power will rely on technology to expand again.
In Zheng Li's opinion, the personal boundaries of the general public have been compressed enough. In a sense, the compression of personal space is contrary to the spirit of pursuing science.
Academician Zhao smiled and said: "It is good to be young. If the truth system can be limited to the level of public opinion, it will undoubtedly be a good thing."
"But it still affects the interests of too many people, but the people above and below are satisfied. The most people in the middle can criticize you a few times."
Academician Zhao thought that it was not necessary to talk to Zheng Li about how to behave in the world now. It would not be too late to talk to Zheng Li when he was really in trouble.
In Academician Zhao's view, given Zheng Li's status and ability, as long as it is not a principled mistake, he will be forgiven.
"This is the end of the chat session. Our main purpose today is to test the optimized brain-computer connection technology to see if we can reproduce magic in the virtual world."
Zheng Li said: "The current optimized brain-computer connection technology only covers the full coverage of human body movements."
"But I communicated with the researchers you assigned to me before. During this time, they built a demo that you can try."
For magic to be reproduced in VR, it also needs to be realistic and, most importantly, logically consistent.
For example, the function of a certain brainwave analysis is to break down molecules into atoms. How can this be replicated in the virtual world?
And creating fire involves raising the temperature. How does this manifest in the virtual world?
Flames, lights, and movement of objects can all be achieved through light and shadow effects.
The problem is that none of the magicians in China know these basic spells, and cannot use a brain nerve signal capture device to capture the brain nerve signal maps corresponding to these spells.
What they know is some operations at the molecular level, which can hardly be reflected in the virtual world through light and shadow effects.
But Zheng Li still thought of a way to fool him.
...
Clark Island can no longer see its original appearance. Except for the white villas that can see a little bit of human existence, the entire island is covered by green vegetation.
Fortunately, the entire island is far away from human habitation, and the surrounding islands are not developed. No one has paid attention to it yet.
In addition to using gene editing technology to create the main raw material of life-extending medicine - Circe grass, Zheng Li also started the reproduction of magnolia.
Magnolia is one of the main raw materials for improving spellcasting ability. It can effectively stimulate the magic substances in the body and greatly increase its activity.
Fortunately, the multi-layer neural network algorithm provided by Wiles allowed Zheng Li to optimize the primary artificial intelligence on the biological cloud.
Now the computing power that the biocloud can exert is even greater.
Originally, primary artificial intelligence could only control biological computers in parts of the Pacific Ocean near Southeast Asia.
Now the upgraded artificial intelligence can control the biological computer of the entire Pacific Ocean.
Zheng Li relied on the improvement of his computing power to make progress in reproducing magical plants even more smoothly than expected.
But the Europa Union researchers responsible for researching life-extending drugs did not go so smoothly.
"We always stay on the surface and cannot find the essence of the mechanism of life-extending drugs. This is obviously not feasible."
Of the three life-extending potions obtained by the Europa League, one was used by Wiles, and the remaining two were in Brussels.
A certain force in the Europa League wanted to steal the show and replaced the two life-extending potions.
Fortunately, the Europa League's security measures were in place enough to prevent the other party from succeeding.
Instead, he took the opportunity to clean up the suspicious elements inside.
"Do you understand the generation difference? Only by thoroughly studying the surface's functions and effects can we trace its mechanism.
Trying to figure out the mechanism of the life-extending potion from the beginning is unreasonable in itself. "
"Now that the life-extending potion is almost used up, how can we communicate with each other if our research is still superficial?"
“One life-extending potion was studied to understand its life-extending mechanism, and the second life-extending potion was used as a basis to reversely decipher the production process of the life-extending potion?
It's a good idea, but can we do it?
Provide penicillin to Archimedes in ancient Rome, and he can reverse engineer the process of making penicillin?
Just kidding?
The people above do not respect the objective laws of science, but we must respect them. "
"The problem is if we don't get results, we're all going to be marginalized."
“I think it’s enough if we can figure it out a little bit.
As long as we can be sure that the life-extending medicine can really extend your life, rather than deceiving your perception.
Unlike Blue Star's so-called life extension, it actually makes your body younger, but it cannot prevent its aging rate from increasing. "
Blue Star's so-called life extension only makes you feel younger now, but this youthful state will decline faster than normal aging.
The equivalent of a five-minute video was stretched to ten minutes and then played back at double speed.
Time will not be extended as a result.
“The big guys can’t wait to consume mega-doses of antioxidants, mega-dose nutritional supplements to help prevent cavities, and add BHT or ascorbyl palmitate to cooking.
These are proven scientific methods of extending life. "
“You and I both know that these do very little to extend lifespan, and whether they actually extend lifespan has not been proven at all.
What we all know, don’t the big shots know? "
"The life-extending potion has also failed to prove itself. There is only one sample of Wiles, and it has only been less than half a year since he used it. Does this prove that his life span has been extended by five years?"
"The problem is that the big shots believe in Merlin, and Merlin's credibility in the hearts of the big shots cannot be compared to a few papers.
Magic is here. Merlin can parasitize anyone. Does this mean that he has eternal life? "
"If Merlin could really achieve eternity, he wouldn't be in a hurry to jump out.
And isn’t our research on the soul potentially related to the discovery that the aging process of the human soul is irreversible? "
“It’s just a potential connection, it’s not a strong enough correlation.
Should we open more data to our Chinese colleagues? "
“I think we can open up more data to our Chinese counterparts.
My counterparts in China are obviously more knowledgeable in magic than I am, and maybe they can come up with better experimental plans. "
Some experts in the field of biomedicine from China are in Brussels, and Master Hua will provide technical guidance remotely.
Even if it is a cooperative relationship now, China is not at ease letting its mages go to Europe.
As for Amerikan's courage to let his mage go to Stockholm at that time, it was also based on the prestige he had established over the years.
When it comes to remote transmission of information, things can easily go wrong.
The communication equipment used throughout the continent of Europa basically comes from Ericsson and Cisco.
The news about the cooperation between the Europa Union and China on life-extending medicine was captured by Amerikan during the network communication process.
