The dead bodies of Dai Ying are everywhere!!!

The worst thing is not this, but that on the 28th day after corpses were everywhere, the bodies that had already fallen down stood up again!

The zombie crisis broke out!!!

Zombies... This thing used to be a favorite in various movies and TV series, but reality is different from movies and TV series! Zombies do not refer to the legendary zombies or ghosts in folklore. Zombies are a description of creatures with mutilated bodies, slow movements, bloodthirstiness, and flesh-eating. They usually appear in horror movies and novels, and are portrayed as a terrible, half-dead creature. From a biological point of view, zombies cannot exist. Because once an organism dies, its nervous system and muscle tissue will stop working, causing the body to be unable to move. In addition, the blood coagulation and decomposition process will also make it impossible for the organism to continue to be bloodthirsty. Therefore, the existence of zombies is contrary to basic biological principles.

From a physical point of view, this does not conform to the law of conservation of energy. What is the energy source for zombies to move? Why can they roar, bite, and run? Can eating so little human flesh fill them up? After all, there are a large number of zombies biting one person, so there are too many monks and too little porridge! Zombies are a combination of humans and viruses, not plants, and it is impossible for them to obtain energy through photosynthesis.

But the reality is, this kind of thing really happened.

The countries around Britain were all terrified!

After Daiying discovered that things were beyond his imagination, he sent out a call for help from all over the world!

Then Daiying was quarantined.

Even the French couldn't help it... When their capital was still haunted, they sent out the navy to isolate Britain.

There is no way, it is just a haunted place. Although it is scary, the death toll is not that scary. After all, in a metropolis like Paris, the number of deaths in one day is beyond imagination. Besides, the strange phenomenon is limited to Paris. At most, everyone can leave the city. There is still hope!

But if the zombie virus comes, we will all be doomed!

Other countries have similar ideas. As for the life and death of the British... Who cares? !

He loves it to death!

Actually, there is no need to worry so much. The zombie virus sounds scary, but it is not so mysterious in reality. It is only because of the lack of human nature that the situation has developed to that point. "Zombies" refer to corpses that have been infected by the virus and have lost their humanity, and they attack humans as food. Most zombies in movies move slowly, and even a few zombies are agile, but they are far from exceeding the limit of human physical fitness. The setting of zombies in movies is that as long as the brain is not completely destroyed, the damage to the body will not cause death, there will be no bleeding, no pain, and no loss of combat effectiveness due to the loss of important organs. Therefore, it is difficult for civilians to kill them. The virus infection is mainly transmitted through biting and blood. In theory, a closed steel armor can make zombies helpless. Perhaps in the city, the zombie virus will infect quickly and form a corpse tide, but once it leaves the densely populated area, there is a lack of rapid infection channels, and the virus will be difficult to spread quickly, because not all people live in cities. From a global perspective, most people still live in vast rural areas. The zombie horde lacks strategic planning and tactical coordination, and is no match for the current military. In movies, the military uses light weapons to fight head-on, which can only be said to be purely for the needs of the plot. The real army is not so stupid as to simply lead the zombie horde to a flat ground to gather them, and then directly blow them to ashes with large-caliber artillery. At worst, it is no problem to crush them with rows of tanks.

Considering the level of organization and technological development of modern human society, the zombie virus cannot even cause any waves.

As for the transmission characteristics of the zombie virus, most works are very consistent.

100% contagious.

Lethality rate: 100%.

It is transmitted through exposed mucous membranes and all body fluids of an infected person.

It cannot be spread through air or water.

Okay, let’s start wreaking havoc on the zombie virus.

First of all, the input of the source of infection is essential. There must be a "patient 0". The first patient infected with the zombie virus will die in the hospital, become a zombie, and eventually be cremated if nothing unexpected happens. During the infection process, there will be more or less contact with medical staff and family members. Considering the 100% infectiousness and 100% lethality of the zombie virus, it sounds like a biochemical crisis is about to break out. Don't jump to conclusions. For such a severe infectious disease, we humans have already experienced many battles. Let's look at real cases first.

In July 2014, a case of plague was discovered in Yumen City, Gansu Province, China, and the patient died on July 7.

Plague is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases in human history, and its status is not inferior to smallpox. It is now believed that the Black Death that broke out in Europe was caused by the plague bacillus. The more special situation is that the plague has different degrees of danger depending on the infection site. The most severe is pneumonic plague, which can be transmitted through the air and has an untreated mortality rate of up to 95% (Wikipedia data). In terms of the transmission route and lethality, the overall strength of pneumonic plague is not weaker than the zombie virus. So, in the face of such a terrifying infectious disease, let's see how China handles it. The plague patient died in the early morning of the 16th. At 5 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the relevant health departments of GS Province had received the report and organized provincial, municipal and county experts to conduct laboratory tests. On the same day, before the laboratory test results came out, the authorities had already isolated the old city of Yumen City and Chijin Town. About 3 people were isolated, and more than 400 medical staff and public security armed police were stationed. Only entry but no exit was allowed in the urban area. At the same time, the Municipal Bureau urgently formulated and issued the "7" Suspected Plague Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Plan, established an epidemic prevention and control command center, and was fully responsible for prevention and control work. On July 15, laboratory results confirmed that the patient was infected with pneumonic plague. At the same time, a large amount of protective materials and food were urgently transferred to the quarantine area in the early morning of the same day. On the afternoon of the 7th, the authorities identified 17 people who had close contact with the patient and implemented custody isolation. On the same day, public officials in the quarantine area began to publicize plague prevention and control knowledge door-to-door in key quarantine areas, requiring fever symptoms to be reported as soon as possible. The quarantine period in the quarantine area is 17 days, because the incubation period of plague usually does not exceed 151 days. On July 9, the urban area was lifted from quarantine, and custody isolation was retained for some key targets. This is the efficiency of modern society in dealing with infectious disease emergencies. If it were a zombie virus that can only be transmitted through body fluids, it probably wouldn't cause much trouble. Perhaps some people will question this, what if "Patient 9" appears in urban slums with low medical standards and higher population density? Without isolation and medical care, a wave of zombies will always break out under natural transmission.

A virus that is extremely lethal, highly contagious, and has an incubation period of only a few hours. It seems to have all the terrifying characteristics in one, but the virus that was created is not as terrifying as imagined.

High lethality and short incubation period means that patients do not have enough time to continue spreading the virus after infection. For the zombie virus, it will become a zombie and have no chance to contact healthy humans. Even if it is 100% contagious, it will not help. The premise of body fluid transmission is trauma and exposed mucous membranes. People with brains will of course avoid contact with zombies. In addition, after the zombie virus becomes ill, that is, it becomes a zombie, its symptoms are extremely significant, which is more conducive to healthy humans to avoid. From the perspective of infectious diseases, the extremely short incubation period, extremely high mortality rate and extremely high infectivity mean that this virus will only break out like a flash in the pan and then quickly die out. If there is no host other than humans, it may even become extinct on its own. Combining these characteristics, the zombie virus is actually more similar to some severe hemorrhagic fevers. At best, it is a small trouble for humans, but it is far from destroying the country and severely damaging civilization.

Only someone as ridiculously abstract as Daiying could come up with such a lousy job!

Originally, the matter could have been easily resolved in the early stages, but Dai Ying refused to solve it. By the time the zombies were wreaking havoc in London, Dai Ying was unable to deal with it even if he wanted to.

This virus has something supernatural about it.

If the great guardian hadn’t suddenly recovered, Daiying would have really become a zombie land!

In short, Britain is in a really miserable situation now. There are basically no living people in the whole of London, and there are fallen corpses everywhere. If it is not cleaned up, I believe the plague will spread again soon... This time there should not be such an outrageous thing as a zombie virus, but that would be even worse!

In short, the whole world suffered huge losses.

But no one can tell what exactly happened.

The appearance of a hand and an end in the center of the Pacific Ocean became the biggest clue.

After all, the timing was just too coincidental.

At that time, all countries that were still engaged in disaster relief sent scientific expedition teams there.

Want to explore something.

Then they were surprised to find that... the price of gold was going to drop significantly!

Those two man-made buildings that are taller than the world’s highest peak actually contain rich rare minerals!

Especially gold!

This hand contains a huge amount of gold!

Gold is good in every way, except that it is too scarce. In the past 17 years, humans have only mined about 80 tons of gold. For the 20 billion people in the world, each person has only 21 grams! What a concept! If all the gold mined by humans in history were put together, it would only be a cube with a side length of 4 meters! But in fact, the earth's gold reserves are not small at all. According to scientists' estimates, the total gold reserves on earth are about 500 billion tons, and each person in the world can get million tons on average.

The earth is actually very rich.

Gold is rare, but not that rare. According to scientists' estimates, gold accounts for about 15/60 of the total mass of the Earth. Based on the total mass of the Earth, which is 4 trillion tons, the total mass of gold on Earth is about 4 trillion tons. If all the gold is spread all over the Earth, the thickness can reach an astonishing 6 meters. According to other scientists, the total amount of gold on Earth should be trillion tons... Different scientists have different calculations, but what is certain is that the Earth is actually not short of gold. People always say "diamonds are forever, and one diamond lasts forever." But diamonds are just carbon after all, and humans can easily synthesize them now. Gold is an absolute "cosmic hard currency" and cannot be formed naturally in the solar system. The gold on Earth is all "outside the universe." Simply put, gold is formed by supernova explosions. Before the supernova explodes, it is like a huge element furnace. Protons and electrons will combine to form neutrons, and iron will absorb neutrons to form new metal elements, such as gold. When iron continues to absorb energy from the star's interior, the star continues to collapse under the action of gravity, and finally "explodes". With the Big Bang, these elements and stellar debris were scattered throughout the universe.

These mixed with interstellar gas and dust clouds constitute the raw materials for the formation of new stars and planets, including our Earth. Another theory is that when the Earth was first formed, a "golden rain" fell because of the explosion of a nearby supernova. At that time, the Earth was still in a molten state, and because gold is heavier than other elements, most of the gold gradually sank into the center of the Earth. This also explains why there is so much gold on Earth and why we humans can mine so little gold. At the beginning of the Earth's formation, because of the high density of gold, gold was mainly concentrated deep in the center of the Earth. About 1 billion years ago, violent volcanic eruptions on Earth brought a small amount of gold from the Earth's interior to the mantle and crust. With the movement of the crust, gold mines were formed, which we often call rock gold mines. Gold is stable in nature and almost never oxidizes in nature. With a long period of weathering, the surface rocks are eroded and stripped, leaving only the gold in them. This situation is more common in water, which forms sand gold mines. Therefore, natural gold is not rare in nature. The big ones found in the mountains are called horseshoe gold, the ones in the middle are called olive gold, and the smaller ones are called melon seed gold; the larger ones found in the water are called dog head gold; the smaller ones are called chaff gold; the ones dug out from the ground are called surface sand gold, and the larger ones are called bean grain gold. But the proportion of this kind of gold that exists alone is too small. Most gold mines look like a pile of rocks, and the naked eye can't see the existence of gold at all. On the surface, the average gold content is only 1.1 parts per 0.03 million, and the gold content of seawater is only 0.1 parts per trillion. But this is only in theory, because there are too few gold mines worth mining, and no one is willing to do a losing business. Generally speaking, the gold content of poor mines reaches 1-0.5 grams per ton, and it is worth mining if it exceeds grams per ton. For gold, humans will "dig three feet into the ground" to find it.

No need to bother now.

These two huge 'mountains' rising from the seabed contain an enormous amount of gold!

There is almost no need to refine it to get a large amount of gold. This is just gold. These two huge mountains also contain a lot of rare metals!

For example, the mineral resources of rare metals cesium and rubidium are particularly rare and precious worldwide. Their rarity is reflected in two aspects: first, the content of these two alkali metals in the earth's crust is the lowest; second, their distribution is relatively sparse or difficult to extract from ores. When it comes to preciousness, although we traditionally think that precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum group metals are priceless, in fact, the value of cesium and rubidium exceeds that of gold.

This discovery made many countries feel shocked and greedy!
