Star of Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 145
Rogge’s calculations were very good.
If his plan goes well, then Rogge will logically control everything about Ross Medicine. From then on, he can cover the sky with one hand, and even bargaining with the military will become possible.
Rogge has long been dissatisfied with the singleness of the family business, and he aggressively wants to dabble in all profitable industries to prove his ability.
He dreamed of turning Ross Medicine into the largest supplier of the military, step by step into the world’s largest company, and bringing earth-shaking changes to the Rothschild family, not only involving medicine, biology, energy, and even docks, transportation and Military scientific research.
In his eyes, what he is doing now is just to win capital—to make money, that is a business, not shabby.
The strong are not afraid of being wasted, and the loser is enchanted!
On the other hand, the military is not an idiot either. They are well aware of Rogge’s motives, but they just turn a blind eye to his tricks. At this time, everyone is just exchanging interests, and the two sides take what they need from each other, but in terms of actual practice and real purpose, there are still differences between closeness and estrangement.
The military’s “Project Titan” research has just started. At this stage, it needs to rely on civilian forces, and it is also to reserve its own scientific research strength. When Morgana’s research results are obtained and the conditions are ripe, the military can further develop that larger plan without any restrictions from civilian forces.
Only a few can dabble in this secret. Because the world does not need to know the secrets of the military, nor does it need to know how the future will change.
The reason why the military desperately hopes that the “Project Titan” can be implemented and get results as soon as possible is based on another thing – they obtained some mysterious “cytoplasm” a long time ago.
Decades ago, a scientific expedition team went deep into the Zolderma Trench in the Pacific Ocean east of Indonesia. The deepest part of this trench can reach more than 10,000 meters. When the unmanned exploration ship of the scientific expedition team approached the deepest part of the seabed, it discovered a deformed deep-sea monster fish.
This kind of fish is rare in number and generally moves in groups. It looks ugly and hideous, and is skinny. It looks like an alien creature covered with a layer of fish skin. The bones of the strange fish seem to be able to withstand extreme pressure, which has exceeded the pressure resistance limit of any creature in the world. In such a deep seabed, fish swim very fast and hunt ferociously, which is different from other fish.
Although this species has never been recorded by humans, the discovery of a new species is not considered major news. After all, there are still nearly 70% of the creatures in the ocean on the blue star that have not been discovered.
The scientific expedition team showed great curiosity and brought this palm-sized strange fish back for research. The researchers quickly isolated an unknown “parasite” from the strange fish. This parasite did not seem to have any connection with the strange fish itself, did not participate in the operation of the strange fish’s body functions, and seemed to be swallowed.
Digging deeper into the parasite, the researchers isolated a never-before-heard-but-astonishing cytoplasm.
These “cytoplasms” look like living cells or primitive viruses, nothing like cells known on Earth. Because none of them have dna, and all living cells on earth must have dna.
Research at that time found that the mysterious cytoplasm had terrifying properties. It could survive in harsh conditions such as extremely low temperature, vacuum, ultraviolet rays, cosmic rays, and X-rays. A skeleton more suitable for survival.
The researchers believe that it is the powerful genetic screening ability of the mysterious cytoplasm that gives the strange fish such powerful physical characteristics.
Due to the lack of widespread transmission routes at the bottom of the trench, this cytoplasm only exists in the deep-sea monster fish.
When the mysterious cytoplasm was brought back to the human laboratory and appeared on land, the researchers found that it could greatly infect any land organisms. Through experiments on mice, when the mysterious cytoplasm was fused with hemoglobin, the organs of the experimental subject began to bleed a lot. This symptom is generally called blood plague.
The blood plague is extremely destructive to biological tissues and spreads rapidly among different species, which is equivalent to a terrible virus.
As the research continued, it was discovered that the mysterious cytoplasm has another characteristic, which is specific to the human body. Once the body of the cytoplasm infected person is severely damaged, the cytoplasm will secrete a kind of telomerase to repair, prolong the telomere, and increase the number of cell divisions. thereby filling the damaged tissue.
This astonishing discovery aroused strong repercussions and worries among scientists all over the world at that time. The academic debate about the origin of these mysterious cells thus arose.
Of course, related speech disappears faster.
It is speculated that the news should have been artificially blocked and silenced. Since then, this incident has gradually been forgotten by the world.
As soon as this incident got out, it attracted the attention of the Planetary Council. Because they realized the great potential of this substance to change the human body, among other things, at least it can treat various incurable diseases including cancer, and the practical prospect is broad, so they immediately sent people to find out.
Soon, the military expressed its willingness to take over and continue to study the cytoplasm.
The military is the only organization on Blue Star that has the strength to prevent bio-terrorist attacks and the threat of biological weapons. It also has the duty to legally curb the circulation of bows in the black market. Naturally, its strength is not the same as that of private scientific research institutions.
A late military researcher once said: “I believe ~www.mtlnovel.com~ these strange cytoplasms belong to some kind of unknown organisms, and they must have a sense of extreme cold and heat during their journey to the earth. Unbelievable endurance, enough to travel through the vast space with a meteorite.”
This statement suggests that the “cytoplasm” is likely to be of extraterrestrial origin. Another statement is also self-evident – it has physical characteristics that current science has no explanation at all.
Due to the limited research conditions at that time, the mysterious cytoplasm was sealed up by the military, and one letter lasted as long as 60 years. A series of experiments conducted by a small number of contacts later proved that these living cells conformed to the statement that they came from outside the earth.
The source of the mysterious “cytoplasm” has become a secret, and it has always been expressed as a different code name in military materials, and the underground ice lake in Antarctica is also one of its sources.
In the years that followed, the military found the same thing in other parts of the world. It seems to indicate that there was once a powerful life form on our blue star, this life form is so old that when life is just born, it can be traced back to the beginning of the formation of primitive life.
Such a life form is completely incomprehensible to human beings.
Unlike the mold samples obtained by Morgana, those living “cytoplasms” are the real driving force for the “Project Titan” to form a closed loop of military experiments. It was actually one of the military’s plans to let Morgana discover that place and bring Ross Medicine in to participate.
The military hopes to unravel the mysteries of some ancient plants with the help of Ross Medicine, and then study them in parallel with the mysterious “cytoplasm”. But when that step is reached, all eyes and ears that are not part of the military must be avoided, news must be blocked, projects must be promoted secretly, and the truth must not be allowed to flow to the people.
In other words, the whole thing was set up by the military from the very beginning.
