But unfortunately, Xie Yuanneng could tell from the multi-tool scanner that the clothes of these local little scouts and miners carried a strange parasite.
But Diamond Dog's medical department is as if they are blind, they just can't see. However, under Xie Yuan's strong request, Kaz burned all their clothes and changed into a new set.
But Xie Yuan was not without gain. He obtained a strange parasite of the same origin from these imps and a wounded member of the intelligence team who was rescued last time.
After uploading it to the system, Xie Yuan got the result... During the collection task, one of his vocal parasites named "Congolese" had been collected.
Just completed one item? Xie Yuan was also surprised and happy, but he didn't know what the function of this vocal cord parasite was.
But after all, being able to be related to the language... was probably not a good thing. Xie Yuan still sent a request for formulas for inhibitors and therapeutic drugs to the system.
Thirty minutes later, Xie Yuan was a little surprised by the reply given by the system - the inhibitors were extremely expensive, but the medicine to treat vocal cord parasites was quite cheap.
In fact, they are not cheap anymore - these are the anthelmintic drugs used daily to deal with parasitic diseases: albendazole, mebendazole, praziquantel and other Western drugs.
Even, Chinese medicine prescriptions and Chinese herbal medicines specially used for deworming are provided. For example, betel nut, pumpkin seeds, make a gentleman, artemisia annua...etc.
It seems that from the system's point of view, treating this parasitic disease is a very simple matter, but Xie Yuan can also tell from the inhibitor formula that is as expensive as the G virus "Devil" serum... Vocal cord parasites are the most terrifying is its clinical response.
I don’t know what kind of horrific clinical reaction it will cause?
But Xie Yuan also knew that this matter was not a gamble. He could not watch his soldiers die from a small parasite instead of dying on the battlefield.
So I gritted my teeth and spent 2,000 special coins to purchase the entire formula, and then handed the received formula of the strange compound to the logistics department.
Let them find a way to follow this preparation method and make inhibitors for thousands of people. As for the cost... Xie Yuan planned to bear it himself and directly transferred the money from an account hidden in a Swiss bank.
It is said to be prepared for emergencies, but fortunately it says: suppress the entire category of parasite types.
That's why Xie Yuancai is willing to spend this money. Otherwise, if he suppresses language by language... even if he sells himself, it won't be enough.
…
After settling these brats, Xie Yuan rushed to Angola without stopping. He had a lot of things to arrange.
The target was the "major" who was bragging about his involvement in the nuclear deal. Xie Yuan followed him for a long time, and then after they completed the connection, he installed them one by one on the Fulton recovery system and sent them into the sky.
But after Kaz completed the interrogation and investigation, the conclusion he reported to himself was speechless: "{Major} has done everything...his nuclear weapons amateur is just a rumor he was paid to spread.
We don’t even know who the payer is! The instructions he received were conveyed through agents. "
After finishing speaking, Katz himself closed the case with a frustrated look on his face: "But damn, who else besides Cipher is behind this? And this nuclear weapons deal is obviously related to those yellow cakes.
He felt the same way, so he tried to track down ZRS (Zero Risk Security) himself. "
After a pause, Kaz reported another piece of information to Xie Yuan: "He also said other things that made me feel strange. He said that ZRS wanted to kill a certain old man."
"Some old man?!" Xie Yuan perked up as soon as he heard the word "old man", "Did he say what kind of old man he was?"
"No, he just heard the news, but he didn't know why." Unfortunately, Kaz gave him a disappointing answer. However, he was also very surprised by the big leader's interest in the so-called "old man." "How could an old man do this?" To attract the attention of ZRS? Why are you also interested in "the old man"?"
Speaking of this, Xie Yuan did not intend to hide it from him: "It originated from the fact that not long after completing the first mission in Angola, I heard someone chatting at a nearby outpost.
They talked about the arrival of an old man who might have been a nuclear engineer by profession. "
"This is quite important information!" Kaz became anxious upon hearing this, "You should tell me right away?"
"But what if he is actually just an Indian Rui?" Xie Yuan gave the actual answer calmly.
"What? An Indian... human?" Kaz was also a little stunned, "This... seems very... strange."
Katz can't explain this superposition of characters and can only describe it as strange. Xie Yuanze had no choice but to tell Kaz Lai roughly the entire conversation he heard between the two defenders.
After finishing speaking, Xie Yuan also gave the reason why he didn't want to alarm others: "I also think this person is very suspicious... but it doesn't seem to be very relevant to what we are looking for... and Angola is so big, it is not easy to hide someone."
Xie Yuan continued to explain to Kaz: "This is why I don't want to alarm you... After all, visiting a Renrui and appreciating the wisdom of life is the real reason why I want to find him.
Finding him was of secondary importance, and I never heard any more information about this old man in subsequent missions...until today. "
"Phew!" Kaz took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "But since ZRS may also be looking for an old man, then they are probably looking for the same old man as you.
Then it's none of your business, Snake. Leave the matter of finding this old man to me, and I will locate this person who may be considered a {nuclear weapons genius}. "
"Thank you for your hard work, Kaz." Xie Yuan still looked very apologetic, "Following a rumor may end up losing more than you gain, and you may have wasted work."
"As long as Cipher can be effectively attacked in the end, a temporary defeat is nothing. Moreover," Kaz vaguely felt, "this old man does seem to be very important, no matter in terms of his identity, age and degree of secrecy."
…
Peaceful days are always short-lived, and there is always someone who needs to do something to make his or her presence felt.
For example, our former chief technology officer, Huey Emmerich. The idea for a counter-weapon already came from his original unfinished walking mech being circulated throughout Africa.
When Xie Yuan came to the room where Huey was secretly under house arrest, Ocelot and Kaz were also here. Huey, who was standing in the C position, gingerly handed a design draft to himself.
After taking a look at the design draft, Xie Yuan discovered that it was a "tank" with mechanical joints instead of tires and tracks as legs.
When it comes to professionalism, Huey immediately regained his confidence: "This is the idea of a multi-legged powered weapon, and it is also a technology derived from alloy mechas."
Ocelot didn't want to see him, because he knew all the ins and outs of Metal Gear Solid: "He really likes the word {derivative}!"
After saying that, he looked at Xie Yuan and Kaz: "I heard that he also used alliance technology in Costa Rica, right?"
Huey glared at him and ignored Ocelot, but introduced himself to Xie Yuan: "It is based on core components with a high degree of design freedom. And it has been modified for the hardware part. Can quickly adapt to different situations that arise during the mission.”
"Our good professor said that this weapon can be customized quickly." Katz directly refined the language and then spoke concisely.
"Under such a design, the mission success rate in general operations can be greatly improved. At the same time, by improving the preemptive capability, the ability to contain enemy groups can be further enhanced."
While he was explaining the efficacy, Huey suddenly started to float again, dancing and boasting: "After engaging in actual combat, he will be able to go deep into the disputed areas, use his combat power to suppress the enemy, and finally achieve effective suppression. The effect of strife.”
Speaking of rising, he even spread his hands and looked extremely intoxicated: "It's a perfect fighting mecha!!!"
While Huey was still intoxicated with himself, Xie Yuan quickly pulled Kaz over: "Kaz, this situation seems a bit familiar to me..."
It's more than familiar. It's almost as ambitious as in Skull Face, but the result is only half a bucket of water.
In Xie Yuan's mind, Huey was just like the kind of people who invented the "Matilda" tank, the "Cromwell" cruise tank, and the "Churchill" tank who could only build things behind closed doors through theory and could not adapt. Just like the useless designers of actual battlefields.
But this time Kaz rarely spoke for Huey: "Although I like Emmerich less than you do, we need this weapon."
"Do you think this can be used in actual combat?" Xie Yuan was very suspicious.
I have seen the armored vehicles and tanks of later generations. Even the "Mako" infantry support armored vehicles of their interstellar era have not used this type.
You know, it’s already 2182! Even though it was an era when interstellar spaceships were roaming the space, except for the "Colossus" mecha, no multi-legged powered weapons were seen.
But Kaz also had a reason. He lowered his head and looked at the design draft: "One is that it is lighter than a tank and has a very convenient turning advantage on a small battlefield.
Private armed forces have begun to commonly use weapons such as walking mechas. If you want to compete with them... the best way is to fight fire with fire! "
Yes, the experience of other worlds can still only be applied in other worlds. Who knows whether this thing will become a new world trend?
After thinking about it, Xie Yuan took a picture of the document in his hand and gave it to Huey, who was still "self-absorbed", and even "bounced" the picture.
But Huey, who turned around to take back the design draft, had surprise in his eyes, and he flattered and promised: "...Then I'll wait for your instructions, Boss."
Xie Yuan had no other response, but turned around and walked out of the house arrest room. The relief in Huey's eyes showed that he was thinking hard because he was threatened with "if you don't use it again, I'll make you disappear."
Do you expect him to have any effect? Humph, I guess the day the tank is born and used in actual combat, I can go back to Xiatu to retire!
Forget it, just think of it as saving his life.
Just after taking a few steps, Kaz's request for approval came from behind: "Boss, do you agree to let us start development?"
"Arrange it as soon as possible!" Xie Yuan waved his hand and walked out of the secret room, leaving Kaz and Ocelot to continue playing with his cat and mouse.
…
Huey's matter was nothing more than a trivial matter until he created the rough outline of a tank core.
Even if he did make it, Xie Yuan would just plagiarize it and then arrange and produce it in another world such as Night City.
So Huey can make a small profit, but Xie Yuan will never lose money!
But soon, something big happened. Kaz sent a new task list to his IDROID.
However, the identity of this "customer" is not ordinary, because he was one of the children Xie Yuan rescued from the mine at that time... the lame child.
In other words, this is a public welfare mission.
But next, Kaz's words made Xie Yuan understand why he agreed to take the job for free.
