10 minutes ago,
In the rolling desert tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The sun was scorching everything under it, hundreds of meters of sandy hills were undulating and stretching far. The fine yellow sand showed a graceful arc under the wind blow. The surface temperature had reached 80 degrees celsius. The air had an apparent distortion under such a high temperature.
The spire of the huge pyramid was looming in the distance; the clear water of the Nile River flowed from the canal channel in the distance, reflecting the sunlight. There were many sailboats fishing on it, showing a vibe of vitality.
This was Fayoum Oasis in Egypt.
However, in the yellow sand outside the oasis, there was a peculiar valley. The valley seemed to be densely covered with rubble. It was a desolate area, but if one looked carefully, many of the rubble on the ground were actually ancient shell fossils.
Not only that, in the valley, there were eleven ancient giant whale fossils exposed on the surface. Their leftover bones were more than ten meters long. Even if they had turned into fossils, they still occupied a big area of the ground, telling the ancient mystery and vastness.
This place was the famous Whale Valley.
The desolate valleys with rolling yellow sand and scorching sun at this time were still blue and beautiful 40 million years ago. In the vast straits, ancient giant whales rose up here, mated, reproduced, and died, leaving only huge fossils to prove their existence. There was a constant stream of visitors throughout the year.
However, at this time, 1 kilometer outside Whale Valley, it was already blocked by the armed police. Tourists were dissuaded from afar, and there was a group of men in black guarding the entrance of Whale Valley with solemn faces. Even the military and police could enter here.
Several large pits had been excavated in the Whale Valley. In one of the huge pits, the skeleton of a huge monster was exposed. This thing was one of the most ferocious creatures in the history of the earth: the skeleton of Basilosaurus!
This behemoth had a body of more than 20 meters and had savage teeth. When it was alive, scientists even believed that its bite force could easily exceed 13,000 kg, which was almost 30 times that of a brown bear and 6 times of the adult Nile crocodile!
At the head of the Basilosaurus fossil, there was a group of staff in white coats, but they were obviously led by a bearded middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair. A large number of wires were connected to the head of Basilosaurus. Various data was quickly summarized, then it was relayed to the screen in front.
A man who was operating said excitedly and quickly,
"As we all know, Basilosaurus is a very unique creature. Its spine had evolved into a unique closed spine. The bone marrow flows in a peculiar liquid form inside the spine. There is also a very unique closed structure at the junction of the cranial cavity and the spinal cord. The bone tissue there is more than half a meter thick!"
Up to this point, the man said excitedly,
"So, if this Basilosaurus was directly buried by a submarine volcanic eruption when it was alive, and it was carbonized in the coal seam formed by a large number of macroalgae, then it is possible to find active gene fragments in this enclosed structure in the cranial cavity!"
At this time, a light suddenly shone by the side. A holographic projection of a little girl in a white dress appeared, but her voice was cold and ruthless; it was completely the mechanical and electronic synthetic tone.
"Warning, warning, the first event sequence occurred."
Everyone looked over at the same time; their faces were full of surprise. Of course, they knew that this was just a holographic projection, but it was the holographic projection of Elizabeth, the brain of the entire huge group, who appeared to issue a warning at this time. Something big must have happened.
The bearded middle-aged man raised his head and said a little displeased,
"Elizabeth, we are now trying to extract the gene fragments of Basilosaurus. You know the significance of this. Once it is successful, it can more than double the combat effectiveness of our biological weapons! Go to the other directors!"
Artificial intelligence Elizabeth said coldly,
"Director Swan, this event sequence is related to you. It is a follow-up to the retrovirus sector injection."
Director Swan said coldly,
"Didn't the board make a decision on the matter of retrovirus sector injection? The culprit has been taken to become an experiment subject, and the SRT Rapid Reaction Force has also been sent to recover the injection. Is there any problem??"
Elizabeth continued in an expressionless voice,
"The two teams of SRT Rapid Reaction Forces we sent have been completely eliminated. One group has suffered serious losses and almost lost combat power. The target is about to flee. The Asia Command Center there requests for the authorization to use the biological weapon, Ouroboros Type-B."
After hearing Elizabeth's words, before Director Swan spoke yet, a person next to him had already objected loudly,
"No! Absolutely not. It's not the Oceanian Islands that are backward. It's the Thai City, one of the seven free ports in the world. It's a metropolis with 27 million people. If we activate Ouroboros Type-B there and anything goes wrong, we will be in a passive situation!"
Director Swan said indifferently,
"Give him."
The man said anxiously,
"But the consequence…"
Suddenly, Director Swan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, turned his head and glanced at the man. The man immediately became frightened. He opened his mouth a few times to speak, but he couldn't make any sound. Then, his head was actually exploded; a bloody mist filled the surrounding area, and the stench was unacceptable. The headless corpse still turned around in a daze for a few times before falling down slowly.
Director Swan said lightly at this time,
"The previous data was too redundant. Restart the server and we continue to study."
Elizabeth's synthetic voice sounded,
"The activation of Ouroboros Type-B biological weapons requires secondary authorization. Please authorize by voiceprint. Director Swan, the secondary command has been received, and the analysis server has begun to restart."
Director Swan said lightly,
"Authorize."
As Director Swan spoke, the screen in front of him flashed. It began to enter the state of self-check and restart. A logo was shown on the screen when the system was in standby mode; it was actually a dark red triangle! Then, the word "Umbrelia" popped up!!
