"I don't want to hide it from you, but in fact this plan started ten years ago." Mikkelsen took out his personal terminal, marked a location on the map, and said to Wang Zhengdao: "Let's go here."
Following Mikkelsen's words, a violent quarrel suddenly broke out at a table of guests not far away, attracting everyone's attention. Wang Zhengdao understood the opportunity and took the two of them for a space jump.
Three men in suits and ties stood in a wilderness. The scenery here can be seen everywhere in the Federation. Abandoned towns, large tracts of idle land, and large groups of tumbleweeds were rolling in the bleak wind.
The only strange sight was a row of huge gray-white hemispherical buildings neatly arranged about a kilometer away to their right.
Another Mikkelsen in jeans drove an open jeep from a distance and parked beside them. Mikkelsen in a suit opened the door and made a sign of please to them.
"Come and see part of my plan." Cowboy Mikkelsen smelled of cow dung, but he didn't care: "This is part of the gray field plan. I said before, this is not a game."
It’s an ordinary war, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
"Without you, this war will be meaningless. We can't win a war with BB guns." Cowboy Mikkelsen continued: "So when I started this plan, I based on the worst-case scenario
Plan to arrange it.”
"Since we can't defeat those invaders, we will make the world unattractive." Suit Mikkelsen continued: "First of all, it's diet."
"The core of the Gray Field Project is genetically modified food." Cowboy Mikkelsen parked the car in front of the first hemispherical building. After looking at Tangji closely, they realized that this thing was a greenhouse of some kind of permanent structure.
"I'm not an agricultural expert, but fortunately I can hire enough experts. I asked them to make a kind of corn that is adaptable but tasteless." Suit Mikkelsen opened the greenhouse door forcefully and guided Tang Ji and
Wang Zhengdao walked into the greenhouse.
A large area of corn crops in the wax-ripening stage was displayed in front of everyone. Staff members wearing white isolation suits were scattered in twos and threes in the corn fields, using different instruments to inspect the crops.
"I hope to get a food that can fill my stomach but has no taste. They told me that corn is easy to handle." Cowboy Mikkelsen picked up a gray corn from the cornfield and threw it over.
: "Taste it."
Tang Ji picked up the corn and gnawed it directly. As a result, the corn kernels in his mouth were not only hard, but also tasted like chewing sawdust, without any sweetness, let alone taste.
"It can withstand forty times the radiation without mutating. It has a stronger survivability than ordinary corn, and 90% of the hybrid offspring will inherit the same characteristics." Suit Mikkelsen said: "
I am expanding its planting area."
"But the question is, when was the last time you ate corn?" Mikkelsen asked Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao. Before they could answer, Mikkelsen said to himself: "That's the question.
Most of the time, humans eat secondary processed products. I can limit the sugar content of corn and eradicate sugar cane and sugar beets, but I can’t limit humans’ production of sweeteners to make food taste better.”
"So you need a nuclear cleanse to destroy the environment, destroy cities, interrupt the industrial process, and set the entire civilization back a thousand years. You are willing to eat this garbage just to survive." Tang Ji smoothed out Mikkelsen's plan:
"That's why this plan is called Gray Fields, because there is no hope for the whole world."
"You are partly right." Mikkelsen waved his hand: "The reason why the whole plan is called Gray Field is because the most successful degraded product is gray mushroom. Take us here."
Mikkelsen showed Wang Zhengdao another coordinate, and this time Wang Zhengdao took them into a rain forest.
A gray hemispherical greenhouse of the same style was located in a rain forest. Another Mikkelsen, wearing shorts and half-sleeves, waved to them and opened the greenhouse door with the same movement.
Only this time there was another door behind the door. Mikkelsen distributed several head-mounted gas masks to Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao: "The number of spores of gray mushrooms is ten times that of puffballs. Huh?"
Ingesting too many spores can cause lung disease."
The door behind him closed and the door in front of him opened. The humid and hot air rushed in instantly, and the lenses of the gas mask were instantly covered with a layer of gray-white dots.
The gray fungi are unevenly distributed among the layers of artificially built wooden frames. The big ones are as big as wash basins, and the small ones are as big as teacups.
Mikkelsen reached out and plucked a gray mushroom the size of a teacup, shook it vigorously, and a thick gray-white fog instantly filled the entire space.
Mikkelsen waved his hands to the two of them, and several people followed him and evacuated the greenhouse after being exposed to strong ultraviolet light.
"Gray Mushroom, the genius idea of the evil scientist I hired. I have to admit that some people have natural talents in anti-humanity." Mikkelsen picked up the inactivated gray mushroom: "Its spores will
As the storm generated by the nuclear explosion rises to the troposphere, it is spread all over the world under the influence of monsoons. As the rain falls, it lies dormant in the soil for three to five years, eventually becoming the most easily available food in the world."
Mikkelsen took the first bite and then passed it to Tang Ji. Tang Ji also took a bite and passed it to Wang Zhengdao.
The three men chewed slowly, as if they were tasting rare delicacies, and finally swallowed the mushrooms in their mouths, each showing a different expression.
Mikkelsen swallowed very painfully. If the gray corn before just tasted like sawdust, then the gray mushroom was really sawdust.
No more expressions could be seen on Tang Ji's face, but he swallowed very slowly and used saliva to smooth it down bit by bit. The gray mushroom itself had no taste, no taste at all, it was just plain unpalatable.
Wang Zhengdao was choked and coughed a few times, but he managed to swallow it.
"It contains a lot of sulfides and acidic substances, which is barely harmful to the human body, but long-term consumption will cause strong body odor." Mikkelsen waited until Wang Zhengdao finished eating before explaining.
"And..." Mikkelsen didn't give Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao any time to react, and immediately gave another coordinate.
The destination this time was a small border town, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The whole city exuded an aura of silence, with only the occasional passing truck making sounds crossing the road.
As always, a truck stopped next to the three people. Mikkelsen, wearing a truck driver's suit, pushed the door hard and motioned for them to get in.
The truck entered a huge slaughterhouse within a few kilometers, but this was only part of it.
Underneath the slaughterhouse, a well-equipped biological laboratory was their ultimate goal. Tang Ji even saw the logo of his old club Lazarus on the sign at the corner.
"Domesticating animals is a sign that humans are moving to the top of the biological chain." Mikkelsen got out of the car and took the two people all the way to the depths of the laboratory. Standing in front of a set of iron cages, he introduced with some emotion: "Now we are going to the opposite direction.
Roads, bad plans.”
In the cage in front of them was a wild boar that had completely returned to its ancestors. It looked ferocious and aggressive, and was in a state of sleep at this time.
"Three sets of additional glands are used to produce pheromone and skatole. Even after castration, the odor in the meat cannot be removed, less fat, and thicker fiber muscles." Mikkelsen said outside the cage.
Author: "There are many similar mutated organisms, and they are undergoing stability testing."
"By the way, the Devil's Salmon is also my masterpiece. My people secretly modified the experimental report to make Genghai Group think that their biological weapons are safe." Mikkelsen took out a tree of life, pointed it at it, and spit out a
Smoke rings, the whole person looks like a heavy burden has been lifted.
Good guy, when Satan comes, he has to call you big brother and light a cigarette for you before leaving. The way Wang Zhengdao looks at Mikkelsen is starting to look wrong.
Tang Ji clenched his fists. All the previous examples of anti-humanity didn't touch him much, but the Devil Salmon thing really touched his heart.
He has never eaten gray corn, gray mushrooms, mutated pigs, mutated cows, or mutated sheep. He has only eaten deviled salmon, and he has eaten it for more than ten years.
The fishy smell and unpalatable texture have made Tang Ji maintain a low material desire lifestyle to this day.
And now, Mikkelsen has come up with a package plan, saying that he will provide more food for humans...
"Don't look at me like that, I know I'm guilty." Mikkelsen shrugged nonchalantly: "That's why I'm under a lot of pressure. It's okay now. You are also insiders. Whether or not this plan should be prepared, from now on
Let’s start by deciding together.”
"You're such a bastard!" Tang Ji punched Mikkelsen's mouth crooked, but the other man reset his jaw nonchalantly and just sat on the ground and laughed: "If you all decide to stop this plan, I will
Just press the button, and all relevant laboratories, including the one we are in, will be destroyed immediately, and the entire Gray Field Project will be terminated immediately."
"Do you dare to make this decision?" Mikkelsen straightened his clothes and stretched out his hand, waiting for Tang Ji to pull him up.
Tang Ji looked at the hand hanging in mid-air and hesitated. He was silent for a full minute while Mikkelsen just waited there.
In the end, Wang Zhengdao reached out and pulled Mikkelsen up. He did not dare and could not make the decision to terminate the Gray Field Project.
This may not be the best way out for mankind, but it is undoubtedly the plan with the highest success rate known so far.
Don't you want to come here for entertainment? I turned my home into a cesspit, and you still have fun!
In fact, in addition to the plant degradation plan and the animal degradation plan, Mikkelsen also prepared a human degradation plan, but he was worried about stirring up internal conflicts, so he did not show it to Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao.
"You should show these to Wu Qianying, not me." Tang Ji finally said.
"She knows." Mikkelsen hesitated for a moment before replying: "She joined the plan six months ago."
After another long silence, Tang Ji finally said: "In that case, I have no objection."
"The prophet should also know." Mikkelsen looked at Wang Zhengdao and said to him in the same tone: "We have not communicated directly, but she did provide funds for some projects. I have always suspected that she knew the inside story.
"
"Wu Qianying's recent research project is the impact of being in a state of low material satisfaction for a long time on human mental state." Mikkelsen added: "You are her main research subject."
"Since we are sitting here now and starting to talk about this matter, I will not hide the consequences of this plan from you." Mikkelsen pulled out a chair and gestured to Tang Ji and Wang Zhengdao: "Dr. Wu's
The research is of great reference value.”
"What can be predicted is more violence, more chaos deviation, and the entire civilization is gradually moving towards the dark side. As a basic desire, it is also the easiest desire to be satisfied. The impact of food and drink on the entire civilization is greater than I expected.
Much bigger." Mikkelsen did not open a large PPT file to teach two quasi-illiterates, but explained the consequences in the simplest language.
"We have deprived humans of the most easily satisfying sense of achievement and happiness, which will cause the future reconstruction of civilization to become very unstable. Deteriorated food will bring serious mental illness and health problems, and poor nutrition will become the norm.
." Mikkelsen said: "Humanity's overall height and physical fitness will decline by two percentage points every decade."
As Mikkelsen spoke, Wang Zhengdao's face became paler and paler, while Tang Ji became more and more silent.
"But on the other hand, this is also an effective strategy for us to get rid of players. At least according to the data we have now, the physiological state of players is very similar to ours." Mikkelsen leaned on his chair and sighed:
"It is optimistically estimated that in two or three generations, players will completely lose interest in this world. No one likes to play patients and monkeys."
"We also need to consider alternative habits. Human beings will never let go of anything that can bring satisfaction. It is optimistically estimated that purely natural addictive plants will become a hot-selling product again." Mikkelsen pretended.
He said easily: "As long as those South American drug lords survive the nuclear winter, they will usher in the dawn of an absolute sunrise industry."
It's a pity that this cold joke can't dispel the coldness here, no one can laugh.
"Everyone, this is not the end of the world, it's just a backup plan. The reason I'm telling you this is just in case." Mikkelsen, who was sharing the pressure, looked in good spirits: "In case one day,
After I die, you can decide for yourself whether you want to continue executing this plan."
"We probably won't be able to survive you." Tang Ji looked at the pig again. It didn't know when it woke up, but it was just listening quietly, as if it could understand what they were saying. That look in its eyes made Tang Ji go all over.
uncomfortable.
"Who knows in this world?" Mikkelsen followed Tang Ji's eyes and saw the pig, took out his pistol and shot its head off.
