Chapter 1799 Signals
In the special laboratory of the Zombie Apocalypse research building, Qiu Yaokang was holding a thick analysis document in his hand, flipping through it page by page.
In front of him, Dodd and his team of senior researchers were as obedient as primary school students who were being checked on their homework. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Fang Heng, you came at the right time."
Qiu Yaokang saw Fang Heng enter the laboratory from the corner of his eye and put down the documents in his hand.
"I found something during my research and wanted to talk to you about it." Fang Heng changed into his lab coat and walked in from behind the glass door. He asked, "How is it? Is it good news?"
"It's hard to say that it's good news."
Fang Heng couldn't help but glance at Dodd.
Not good news?
Then why was Dodd so excited to find him?
Qiu Yaokang took out an analysis report from the folder and said, "Let's take it step by step. First, the metal disc. We dismantled the metal disc and discovered that it contained a special chip device."
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes lit up. He asked first, "It's the Avira chip?"
"No, it isn't."
Qiu Yaokang shook his head expressionlessly and continued, "This chip is completely different from the Avira chip that you described. We believe that this chip is a special chip that can transmit signals over long distances."
In the end, it wasn't the Avira chip.
When Fang Heng heard this, the excitement in his heart immediately subsided by more than half. He asked, "Transmit signals? What signals?"
"Mr. Fang, we found the special frequency signal of the spawns!"
Beside him, Dodd couldn't help but interrupt with an excited expression.
"We have analyzed the data chip, and we can confirm that the spawns have implanted a special chip in the corpses. In addition to controlling the half-mechanical bodies of the corpses, this chip can also send a data packet containing the various data of the corpses to a certain location every once in a while. For an inappropriate example, it is a bit like the black box on an airplane."
Fang Heng nodded in understanding.
He could understand the signal Dodd was talking about.
But what was the use?
Dodd continued to explain, "The frequency of the signal transmission is very low. From the analysis of the signal we captured, we can now determine that the signal will be sent to a certain location. Then, after gathering and amplifying it, it will be concentrated on the external coordinates for fixed-point transmission. We can think of a way to deduce the target location of the signal sent by the spawns!"
"It's very likely that that place is the gathering place of the spawns!"
Hearing this, Fang Heng's eyelids twitched and he immediately reacted.
Obtaining the position of the spawns?
Was this the function of the Avira chip?
So it was highly possible that the Federation was also trying to use the chip in the corpse to deduce the actual location of the spawns and open a passage to the spawns' world?
Was that why the Federation was gathering the sarcophagi and placing them in a medium-sized mausoleum?
This might mean that the medium-sized mausoleum was most likely the place where the spawns gathered to amplify and transmit signals!
Fang Heng rubbed his chin. He suddenly realized that everything seemed to make sense.
"Mr. Fang, if possible, we need to enter the mausoleum world to find the signal points and coordinates of the spawns!"
Dodd was unusually excited.
After experiencing this mausoleum world, they had a deeper understanding of the entire race. It was a special race that was much more technologically advanced than humans. Furthermore, it possessed a mysterious spiritual ability.
"Yes, it's dangerous to enter the mausoleum now. I'll consider it when I have time."
As Fang Heng spoke, a game notification appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has triggered a mission-Data chip.]
Mission title: Data chip.
Mission difficulty: A.
Mission description: You have verified the metal disc obtained from the resurrected corpse and discovered a special signal transmission frequency. Dodd wishes to further investigate the signal transmission point.
Mission requirement: Find the point where the data signal is collected and sent.
Mission reward: Next phase of the mission.
Qiu Yaokang continued, "That's all for the chip. Next is the research report on the ember and live samples you collected."
"It can be confirmed that the ember and live samples are the same species as the Hilla virus. However, the evolution direction of the two viruses is very different. In terms of strength, it's difficult to say which is stronger."
Fang Heng asked, "Can my zombie clone be modified differently with the virus?"
Qiu Yaokang seemed to have known that Fang Heng would ask this question. He nodded and said, "Yes, I've already conducted a feasibility test. The data report I obtained is relatively perfect. In theory, we can completely carry out the next part of the transformation on your corpse. When you have time, we can start the physical test at any time."
Fang Heng was stunned.
"Anytime? Are you saying that you can do it now?"
"Of course." Qiu Yaokang had an expression as if he was looking down on him and said, "The preliminary preparation work isn't too difficult. The first batch of live experiments can begin at any time."
Mo Jiawei was excited when he heard that and said, "Genius Qiu, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up!"
"Yes."
Qiu Yaokang nodded to a researcher beside him and continued, "They still need to make some preparations. It will take about half an hour."
"I've studied the live samples of the half-machine-modified mutated creature and Void Stalker that you obtained and found something interesting."
Qiu Yaokang said as he led everyone to an experimental glass container on the left side of the large research lab.
"Void Stalkers have a strong ability to sense viruses. This ability is not innate, but it has been stimulated by a special genetic modification program and an implanted chip."
"Of course, the most interesting thing isn't this, but the part of the specific vaccine powder that you obtained."
"I found a way to extract a very small portion of the anti-virus."
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
Anti-virus body?!
Previously, in the main mausoleum, he and Charlene had found a small severed finger in the secret research room on the second floor.
Originally, after testing and analyzing, the instrument would completely destroy the corpse through the anti-virus gas left in advance.
Unfortunately, it had been too long, and most of the poisonous gas had dissipated, eventually leading to the revival of the corpse. He and Charlene had spent a lot of effort to kill it.
After that, Fang Heng dismantled the entire large research machine and brought it back.
Qiu Yaokang extracted part of the anti-virus from the instrument and conducted research.
"We tried to extract the residue and analyze it for replication. We already have a successful experience, but replication requires a variety of special materials, some of which are relatively rare."
