Da Bai Tu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, Dream City is destined to be sacrificed.
However, if it weren't for the threat of the new symbiotic zombie virus, Mao Wudi and the others would probably be eager to accept the survivors from Dream City, as this would be an opportunity for them to expand their strength.
Now that the detection agent has been developed, we can just hand it over to Mao Wudi and the others to manage; I believe they will be more attentive than us.
As for whether the people of Dream City are willing to accept the test, that depends on their choice. Whether they choose to stay in Dream City and wait for death, or join the Three Overlord Powers after testing, I believe they will make the choice most beneficial to themselves.
Also, our productivity is insufficient. Even if we mass-produce the detection agent, it will take time, and the output will not be high. It's better to directly hand over the production and distribution rights of the agent to Mao Wudi and the others.
This can both reduce our pressure and allow for rapid distribution through their channels."
Zuo Feng smiled slightly in agreement, then asked, "Are the three of them still at the edge of Void Land? If so, notify them to come over immediately. Also, ask Mei Xue Ji to come as well; Luoxia Alliance's matters require her coordination."
As soon as Chief Zuo finished speaking, Yue Jiaxue immediately stood up and said, "I saw them this morning, so they should still be at the edge of Void Land. I'll go notify them to come over now."
After Yue Jiaxue turned and left, Da Bai Tu said with a smile, "Then I'll go call Mei Xue Ji." With that, she also stood up and left. Currently, Mei Xue Ji is treated as Da Bai Tu's personal secretary and holds a rather high position in Firefly.
Chief Zuo looked at Da Yuanyuan and said, "Da Yuanyuan, please notify the 50 reserve Super Individuals, inform them of our plan, and ask for their opinions. If there are no issues, we will begin preparations."
Da Yuanyuan nodded, a gentle smile on her face, and softly replied, "Okay, I'll go notify them now."
At the edge of Void Land, tens of minutes later, after Mao Wudi learned that the detection agent had been successfully developed, a glint flashed in his eyes. He excitedly clenched his fists, a smile playing on his lips:
"This is truly a pillow delivered when one is sleepy. Chief Zuo really didn't disappoint."
Hu Banshan, upon learning of the successful development of the detection agent, showed surprise in his eyes, then nodded heavily: "I'll be right over. Thank you, Miss Yun, for informing me."
Rou Moyu, after hearing about the detection agent, was stunned for a moment, then her lips curved slightly upwards as she softly said, "Thank you, Miss Yun, I'll be right over."
In the conference room on the first floor of Firefly Base, everyone gradually entered, the atmosphere heavy and tense.
Once everyone was present, the anxiously waiting Mao Wudi could no longer suppress his excitement and immediately spoke:
"Chief Zuo, I heard that the detection agent has been successfully developed. Is this news true?"
Chief Zuo sat steadily in the main seat, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone present, finally resting on Mao Wudi, and he nodded slightly: "It is true. Professor Yan's team has completed the research and development."
The atmosphere in the conference room was instantly ignited.
Mao Wudi's eyes burst with uncontrollable joy, he leaned forward, his voice trembling slightly:
"That's great! This is simply a ray of hope in a desperate situation! Chief Zuo, what is the production capacity of the agent? When can we get it?"
Hu Banshan also couldn't hide his excitement, his rugged face full of eagerness:
"Yes! The sooner the better! Dream City is already on the verge of collapse!"
Even the usually calm Rou Moyu stared intently at Chief Zuo, awaiting his reply, clearly indicating that this news was of great significance to her as well.
Chief Zuo took in their reactions, his expression calm, and slowly began:
"Production capacity and distribution are precisely the key issues we need to discuss next."
He paused, his gaze becoming sharp,
"Professor Yan's report shows that although the core raw materials for the agent are precious, the cost per dose has been optimized and is now within the scope of large-scale production. However, large-scale mass production requires time, and also requires your three parties to invest resources and personnel."
Mao Wudi immediately patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Chief Zuo, rest assured! As long as we can get the agent, Spear of Victory will not be stingy with manpower and resources! Whatever you say, we'll do!"
Hu Banshan also nodded heavily:
"That's right! The entire Steel City is at your disposal!"
Rou Moyu also expressed her stance at the appropriate moment, her voice soft but clear:
"Glory of Light will also fully cooperate. However, Chief Zuo, could you tell us the price of the agent?"
As soon as Rou Moyu finished speaking, all eyes in the conference room turned to Chief Zuo, awaiting his response.
Chief Zuo's gaze slightly lowered, and he said indifferently:
"This involves the lives of an entire city's people, so rest assured, everyone, I, Chief Zuo, am not one to take advantage of a crisis. I will provide the main materials for the agent free of charge, and the manufacturing method will also be made public. However, the basic materials and processing costs required for mass production must be borne by each city themselves.
After all, time is of the essence, and I hope that each city can produce the agent as quickly as possible and deliver it to those who need it."
As soon as Chief Zuo finished speaking, a low murmur of discussion immediately arose in the conference room.
Mao Wudi's eyes sparkled, and he clenched his fists: "Chief Zuo is truly a man of great foresight! Spear of Victory will immediately return to organize the production line!"
Hu Banshan also grinned: "As long as we have the manufacturing method and the main materials, our Steel City can also get started quickly!"
Rou Moyu nodded slightly and said softly, "Glory of Light will coordinate resources from all sides to ensure the agent is quickly popularized."
Chief Zuo nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, then he said:
"There is also one more issue that must be clarified in advance—although the agent has been successfully developed, it has not undergone clinical verification, and rash large-scale use may carry unknown risks. Therefore, I suggest that we first conduct trials on a small scale, and only after confirming its safety and effectiveness should we promote it comprehensively."
Mao Wudi waved his hand, appearing a bit impatient: "Chief Zuo, time waits for no one! While safety and effectiveness are important, if we wait for trials to be completed before promoting it, it might be too late to save people! Our Spear of Victory is willing to take the risk and be the first to use it!"
Hu Banshan also said in a deep voice, "Steel City is also willing to cooperate, to put it into production as soon as possible, and observe the effects as we use it."
Rou Moyu sighed softly, her gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone, finally resting on Chief Zuo: "Chief Zuo, are you suggesting we use Dream City as a pilot site first?"
Chief Zuo nodded slightly, his gaze steady, "Exactly. Dream City is where the threat is greatest and the situation is most urgent. If the first batch can be delivered within three days, it will both buy us time and allow us to observe the reactions."
He paused, lowering his voice, "But I must warn you again, the side effects of the agent are still unclear, and once an accident occurs, you will be responsible for the consequences."
The room fell silent. Rou Moyu gently closed her eyes, as if weighing her options. After a moment, she opened them and slowly nodded:
"Chief Zuo, how many shares of the agent will be allocated? This will help us distribute them according to the actual situation."
Chief Zuo pondered for a moment, then said:
"I can provide three million doses of the main material to each of your factions, but this is limited to the first batch of supply.
For subsequent supplies, a cost price will be charged. After all, I cannot continue to provide it for free. I hope everyone understands."
As soon as Chief Zuo finished speaking, the conference room immediately erupted in an uproar, with various expressions on everyone's faces.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Chief Zuo to be so generous. This was a free provision; three million doses of the main material meant they could provide a round of free agent testing for everyone within their sphere of influence.
Previously, their hesitation about using Dream City as a pilot was due to concerns about the quantity of the agent. If they didn't even have enough for their own people, how could they help others?
Now, the supply of three million main materials completely dispelled their concerns.
Mao Wudi's eyes gleamed, and he immediately stated: "Chief Zuo is so generous, how can our Spear of Victory shrink back? Three million doses, we'll take them all. We'll immediately arrange personnel to put them into production! Leave the pilot in Dream City to us."
Hu Banshan also echoed in a deep voice: "Steel City has no problem either. Once the main materials are in place, the first batch of finished products can be out within three days."
Rou Moyu said softly, "Glory of Light will also fully cooperate with transportation and distribution. The pilot in Dream City will be arranged by us, and any feedback later on will be shared with everyone at the first opportunity."
