Chapter 431: Super Virus

Devon, a biological research institute originally belonging to Umbrella, has carried out large-scale layoffs in the past few days.

In just three days, everyone left this virus research institute covering more than 40 acres.

Half a day later, a group of house-elves came to the institute, sealed all the doors and windows, and set up powerful Muggle-repelling charms on the periphery.

That night, several Floo Network doors were established, and under Murphy's control, thousands of magic robots moved dozens of large machines into dozens of ultra-clean laboratories on the third basement floor.

Three hours later, the magic robots assembled 380 test benches and completed a crawler-type automated experimental assembly line.

Thousands of viruses that had been screened were placed in the petri dishes of each test bench according to their categories.

Early the next morning, a time acceleration device was activated, and the institute entered a hundred-fold time flow.

The experiment began.

With the experience of training anti-cancer viruses, Murphy was already familiar with the experiment of training viruses with the Seed of Soul.

He would implant the Seed of Soul into these thousands of viruses, and through various mutation means such as radiation and chemistry, promote the mutation of the viruses, and then use the Seed of Soul to set rules to screen these viruses.

After nearly a trillion eliminations and screenings over several years and decades, he will create a super virus.

The virus will have the following characteristics: 1. Super strong infectivity. It will be able to spread through almost all means, whether it is air, water sources, skin contact, etc., all kinds of ways can become its transmission routes.

2. Super strong adaptability. It can survive for at least 72 hours in air, soil, and water at room temperature, or enter a dormant state in harsh environments waiting for activation.

3. Low toxicity. The virus usually has extremely low toxicity and pathogenicity, only causing mild symptoms such as coughing and runny nose, at most causing lung or digestive tract infections, and can often recover quickly on its own.

Besides the above characteristics, more importantly, Murphy extremely strengthened its adaptability and response ability to the Seed of Soul.

The communication-type Seed of Soul implanted by Murphy in these viruses can directly control the dormant, activation, replication, death, and other states of the virus.

He can even manufacture cell-level virus machines by ordering the viruses to combine. This type of machine can perform various functions according to his instructions, including but not limited to "killing cancer cells," "activating neural pathways," "killing the host," "strengthening muscles," etc.

With the help of the time accelerator, the experiment that originally took at least several years can now be completed in just one month.

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro.

Murphy and Dumbledore stood on a mountain top, looking at the city in the distance that had turned into ruins.

"Headmaster, what did they say?" Murphy asked.

"The German Ministry of Magic has agreed to join the Wizard Alliance. They hope we can train their Aurors. At the same time, they are also willing to provide magic nodes. The ritual you requested to be set up has already been built near the magic node."

"The French Ministry of Magic is still watching, but the hope of joining us is not great. They follow the lead of the United States, and the US Congress is now the chair country of the International Confederation of Wizards. Today, it has passed a war resolution against the Wizard Alliance. By this time tomorrow, they should declare war on us."

"Heh." Murphy smiled. "Seeking death."

"By the way, have you analyzed the spell principle of that thing?" Murphy asked again.

Dumbledore took out a pen and a big book from behind, which were the Quill of Acceptance and the Book of Admittance. "The magic on this is very ancient, but I have studied many classics and finally figured out some of it. I have transformed them into two runic spell rituals, retaining its original ability to detect and track wizard bloodlines."

"That's enough." Murphy said.

"What do you plan to do with it?" Dumbledore couldn't help asking.

"You probably won't like hearing it." Murphy smiled.

Dumbledore frowned. "Murphy, you will still lead the wizarding world to the best future, right?"

Murphy looked at the old man. After a good while, he sighed. "The ruins here, you have seen them too. In front of the gods, if we cannot unite, we will be slaughtered like ants."

"I will try my best to lead everyone to that best future."

"But, this process might not be as gentle as you imagine."

Panama Canal.

A cargo ship from East Asia was intercepted by several warships.

This is a cargo ship loaded with a large amount of magic metal.

The magic flow of a single magic node is limited, and both the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom have many magic experiments to do. Under the huge consumption of time acceleration, the magic nodes of the two countries are already basically at full load.

In order to solve some problems such as the production of magic metal, Murphy has drawn in and united many other countries.

A certain Eastern power is one of Murphy's cooperation objects.

Murphy provided them with technology to use magic nodes to produce magic metal, and even some manufacturing processes for magic communication devices, and invested to help them build magic factories, and finally bought the products back.

This is a win-win strategy. On the one hand, it can support the other party's development, and on the other hand, it also greatly reduces the magic energy pressure on Murphy's side.

But for some countries, this is a big bad thing.

The United States has long noticed the existence of so-called "void particles," which is magic. They also realized very early that the research of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom in this direction is far ahead of the world.

Originally, they didn't realize the huge role of magic, but both the Soviet magic satellite and the previous god war fully demonstrated the huge energy that magic can show.

It can be said that the god war completely woke up the United States, making them decide to catch up with the magic technology of the British and Soviet countries at all costs.

At the same time, in order to curb the development momentum of the two countries, the United States also decided to use all available means to create obstacles for the two countries.

Threatening the Soviet Union not to continue launching magic satellites with nuclear war is one of them, and restricting British and Soviet trade through its own international trade status is also an important part of the US plan.

And this cargo ship, because its destination was London, was crowned with the charge of "suspected of carrying chemical weapons" and was required to stop for inspection.

Originally, the people on the cargo ship just recognized their bad luck and didn't resist too much, obediently letting the US soldiers board the ship for inspection.

But because of the monster riots in Brazil, it was rumored that there were many dangerous monsters wandering in the Atlantic waters, and the Caribbean Sea was not safe in the first place, so the cargo ship carried some firearms and other weapons for self-defense.

After finding the firearms, a soldier insisted that the crew were actually spies and terrorists, and opened fire without a word.

The crew had to pick up weapons to defend themselves, but when a US soldier was hit, his companions called for warship support, which actually fired directly at this ocean-going cargo ship, eventually causing the cargo ship to sink and dozens of crew members to die at the bottom of the sea.
