"What should I do?" Jiang Ye asked.
"Wait for the virus analysis results first. They should be out soon. I'll tell you what to do once I have them. Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of virus. Those damn Mil people have so many tricks up their sleeves, I'll kill them all sooner or later! I can't chat anymore, the military is about to have a meeting, and I'm heading into the conference room."
Jiang Ye hung up the phone, his heart filled with worry.
He went to the kitchen and made himself a plate of chocolate donuts to fill his stomach.
While eating, his mind raced.
The situation on Bi Rong Star would surely worsen. If the plague spread, all the camps would be paralyzed. Coupled with the appearance of earth dragons, it would lead to a complete sweep.
Epidemic prevention measures should be quite mature in this era. The army would not be infected on a large scale under normal circumstances. As long as the main forces could continue their offensive against the Mil people on the front lines, the overall situation would be temporarily safe. At least the Nexus Star and Jiang Ye Star would not be affected by the war.
However, preparations were still necessary. Who knew what other trump cards the Mil people had?
Jiang Ye unlocked his phone and sent a message to Xu Yan.
"There's a virus outbreak on the front lines recently. Do you know about this? I want to build some epidemic prevention facilities. If the Mil people throw plagues at us, we'll have a way to resist, so we won't be caught completely off guard. Do you have any experience in this area?"
A moment later, a reply came.
Xu Yan: "Build hospitals? We don't have enough doctors. Transforming urban areas into honeycomb cities can effectively isolate and control, but the workload is too large. If no plague breaks out, it will be completely useless and will also affect economic development and transportation. The cheapest and most effective method is to build sterilization gates."
Just as Jiang Ye was about to ask what a sterilization gate was, Xu Yan sent over the file.
Opening it, he saw a large photograph. On a wide street in a corner of the city, a silver-white large door frame was placed across the street, framing the entire street. It looked like the staple of a stapler. There were no doors, so "sterilization gate frame" would be a more fitting description. Jiang Ye clicked on the photo, and pedestrians appeared on the street. As each pedestrian passed, the frame sprayed atomized disinfectant.
It looked like a very simple thing, just spraying disinfectant on everyone on the street. The method was quite crude, but sometimes crude methods were the most effective.
Jiang Ye: "How much does this thing cost?"
Xu Yan: "One million."
Jiang Ye: "Damn, that expensive? It just looks like a big door frame that sprays disinfectant!"
Xu Yan: "The ground part is just a large door frame, but underground there's a disinfectant manufacturing machine, including a device that absorbs moisture from the air. You only need to fill it with disinfectant concentrate regularly, which is very convenient. There are also induction strips below the ground, so it only sprays disinfectant when pedestrians and vehicles pass by."
Xu Yan: "These sterilization gates are everywhere on planets with rampant plagues. On a single street, there might be seven or eight gates spraying different disinfectants, making the entire city a rainbow. Citizens have to wear raincoats even on sunny days. If there's a riot in the city, the disinfectant can also be secretly replaced with anesthetic gas."
Jiang Ye hesitated, "How many sterilization gates do we need to build?"
Xu Yan: "I just calculated it. If we only cover the main intersections and main roads of major cities, we'll need a total of 2,000 sterilization gates, which is 2 billion. We also need to build a supporting disinfectant factory that can produce different disinfectants according to different pathogens, costing about 500 million. The total cost will be 2.5 billion."
Jiang Ye sighed and transferred the money. If this amount could ensure safety, it was worth it.
The sweeping robot suddenly entered the room and gently bumped his foot.
"Someone is looking around outside the yard," the sweeping robot said. "Doesn't look like a good person."
Without a word, Jiang Ye agilely ran to the top floor, took a submachine gun from the closet, hesitated, and put it back. He took out a rocket launcher, loaded it with a high-explosive rocket, and walked to the balcony.
There was indeed a man lingering on the small path outside the yard, but his back looked familiar. After the man turned around, Jiang Ye was stunned. He put down the rocket launcher, only tucking a handgun into his waist, and went downstairs to the yard.
Shao Wan stood at the entrance of the yard and saluted.
"Please come in, please come in!" Jiang Ye was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"
"I won't come in, I'm investigating a case," Shao Wan said. "I received news that a mansion in the hot spring area is hosting an orgy. I don't know which mansion it is. It's best not to spread this kind of thing, so I didn't bring too many people. A total of five people are searching nearby. Once we find it, we'll seal and surround it and apprehend everyone."
It took Jiang Ye a while to realize what the word meant. He was stunned for a few seconds, "Holy crap, how can something like this happen?"
"It's probably a bad culture brought by alien immigrants," Shao Wan said. "I've seen gatherings of tens of thousands of people on other planets. Our planet's cultural atmosphere is different, and it's best that such things don't become popular."
"That's right," Jiang Ye nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. If there's any situation, please let me know by calling anytime."
"Understood!" Shao Wan nodded and turned to leave.
Jiang Ye returned home and unloaded the handgun from his pocket, ejecting the chamber. Just as he was about to go to bed to rest, his phone received a message.
[Preliminary analysis of the virus is complete]
[This virus is tentatively named the Happy Flu Virus, and it is a clearly artificially manufactured weaponized virus]
[Currently, 3,857,020 confirmed or suspected cases of Happy Flu have been reported on 62 planets. The spread rate is extremely fast, and the infection range is extremely wide. In addition to humans, some mammals also show symptoms of infection. From the analysis of the virus samples, birds and reptiles also have a risk of infection, but there are currently no reports of infected birds or reptiles.]
[This virus has already undergone 3 mutations, meaning there are a total of Happy Flu Viruses No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4. The incubation periods range from 18 days to 4 months. It is unclear if there are other types of mutations, but from the analysis results, there are multiple artificially designed favorable mutation sites, and it is possible for animal viruses to recombine and fuse with the virus during animal-to-human transmission.]
[After infection, the virus stimulates the brain and nervous system, secreting large amounts of phenylethylamine, dopamine, endorphins, norepinephrine, vasopressin, etc., while inhibiting GABA levels, forming pathological euphoria. According to the measurement table, the pleasure level of sexual intercourse is in the range of 20-35. In the early stages of this virus outbreak, it will cause pleasure in the range of 50-58 and expand the fluctuation range to 20-64 within 48 hours, with a certain risk of death. A total of 4,880 deaths have been reported due to infection with the Happy Virus, mostly due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.]
[A detailed virus analysis report will be released in 5 hours]
