Warhammer 40K, or Warhammer 40000, was originally a board game, a so-called war chess game. It was produced by games-workshop, a company that can be said to be a big player in the war chess board game industry. A very famous fantasy and science fiction war chess series.
Their war chess is famous for its fine models, balanced rules, and profound background novel creation. Among them, Warhammer 40K is relatively popular abroad. The world view of the game takes the Milky Way as the stage and is based on a gothic science fiction setting.
It is generally accepted in the gaming industry that the entire game background is like an epic. The game includes a large number of different races, each with its own unique history and culture, and is blended with a strong science fiction and magic color. The game is also known for its Gothic + The sci-fi space science fiction background has been well received by players.
There are seven races in the game, namely the Human Empire, Chaos, Eldar, Orks, Necrons, Tau Empire, and Tyranids. The interlacing of forces is almost dizzying. The Terrans in StarCraft are modeled after the Space Marines in the Human Empire, the Protoss are modeled after the Eldar, and the Zerg are modeled after the Tyranids.
Moreover, the game itself has its own set of mature rules. Just like DND, it can be said that everything is ready. All it needs is the east wind. It just needs a master who can turn it into a video game to take over.
Therefore, when Yuehua said that he was thinking about the game theme, Zhang Heng blurted out the name Warhammer 40K instinctively. Even he was a little surprised. Maybe he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. He felt that aliens were such creatures. Just like the initial form of the Tyranids, they unknowingly remembered the name of "Warhammer" in their subconscious mind. Perhaps, this can be regarded as a memetic effect.
Whatever you want to do, do it. After discussing it with Yuehua, Zhang Heng called Li Yiru directly and asked him to arrange for someone to go to the UK to have a good talk with the games-workshop company that developed the Warhammer game. , of course it would be best if this game IP could be sold to Stellar Technology, but if not? So I'm sorry, Stellar Technology will acquire your company as well.
After instructing Li Yiru, Zhang Heng put the problem behind him, and then suddenly a call notification from Thompson came out on his watch.
"Professor Thompson, have you arrived in Haizhou?" Zhang Heng answered the call calmly, then poured himself a glass of red wine and sat comfortably on the recliner.
"BOSS, I'm already here." Thompson's face didn't look good. Last time, because Yan Ronghua's daughter needed surgery, Zhang Heng specially called him from Mumbai, India to Haizhou for the sake of safety. In order to compensate for the time he lost, finally Zhang Heng asked him to take charge of the development of Tyrant. After the development of Tyrant was completed, Thompson returned to India again.
Now, in order to operate on Luo Jincheng's brain, Zhang Heng called Thompson over again. This is not to say that Hive does not have enough skilled doctors, but the one with the most experience in using automated surgical equipment is still Thompson. Only if Thompson takes action personally can Zhang Heng be completely relieved.
"Professor Thompson, don't worry, I will make it up to you this time." Zhang Heng took a sip of red wine and chuckled, "Let me think about it, have you done any research on prions?"
"Prions? What, are you going to use mad cow disease as a biochemical weapon?" Thompson said angrily.
"No, it's not mad cow disease, nor prions from kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome, etc., but a brand-new, unprecedented, new type of prion that can even replace God." Zhang Heng He was so busy that he didn't care about the other party's attitude at all.
"..." Thompson was silent for a moment, but the most popular one couldn't help but say, "Is it... more magical than the T virus?"
"I promise." Zhang Heng nodded solemnly and said seriously, "This prion can even create God. You can imagine how miraculous it is."
"Very good." Thompson then showed a satisfied look, "I want to be the leader of the team that studies this prion."
"Deal!" Zhang Heng smiled slightly and hung up the communication decisively.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile. Thompson was the most fearless scientist in Zhang Heng's hands. Even if Zhang Heng didn't propose to let Thompson become the research team leader of the new virus, Thompson would do his best to treat Luo Jincheng. , but the virus has been in the B7-1 laboratory for nearly a year, and it is almost time to take it out for research.
Now, why not sell this favor to Thompson by the way
That's right, the prion Zhang Heng mentioned was the virus strain Alex obtained from the "Prototype" plane last July. The virus was codenamed DX-1118.
After obtaining this virus strain, Zhang Heng sealed it in isolation from the world. After all, Zhang Heng was not very strong at that time, especially when facing Alex, he was as weak as an ant. Furthermore, his technological accumulation at that time was not enough. Therefore, last year Zhang Heng chose to seal up the virus strain named DX-1118, and he kept it for a whole year.
Nowadays, although Zhang Heng's physical strength has not increased much, his mental strength is improving with each passing day. He has simulated it several times in the virtual space. With his current mental strength, he can already control the virus prototype in Asia. He remained undefeated under Alex's attack, and his current technological strength was even greater than before. Therefore, he had the confidence to take out this virus and begin to enter the research stage.
Of course, with the complexity of the DX-1118 virus, he was already prepared for long-term research and combat.
Soon, Thompson came to the hive again under the leadership of the clone warriors.
"BOSS, long time no see." Thompson nodded immediately after seeing Zhang Heng.
"Professor Thompson, I finally got you here." Zhang Heng said with a smile, and turned around and walked towards the medical room. "Without further talk, you don't care about this anyway, so I'll get straight to the point."
"A researcher in the Hive was seriously injured. The strong concussion in his brain caused multiple injuries to the cortical gray matter. Many blood vessels in the brain ruptured and bleed. The situation would always be very critical. If he had not suffered such a serious injury in the Hive He is probably dead due to his injuries," Zhang Heng said as he walked, "And your mission is to repair his brain as much as possible. I know that this operation is a huge workload and more difficult, but when it comes to the entire Stellar Life Science Foundation, During the meeting, I felt most at ease with your medical skills. If I didn’t turn to you, I really don’t know who else to turn to.”
"I know," after getting to the point. Thompson suddenly looked serious and nodded, "But I can't guarantee anything. I still need to personally observe the patient's injuries before I can decide what the specific situation is. But don't hold out too much hope. According to your description, Since his brain damage is very serious, even if it is repaired, it is estimated that it will be difficult to restore his thinking to its original state. After all, you have to understand that automated surgical equipment cannot revive dead brain cells. "
"I understand, just do your best." Zhang Heng sighed. That's all he could do for Luo Jincheng. If even Thompson couldn't cure Luo Jincheng completely, then Zhang Heng had nothing to say.
