Chapter 40 New Era_1

Five minutes after Luna and Jiani left, the FBI and the military personnel arrived one after another. The building was cordoned off, and they, fully armed, stormed into the building. The nanotech-enhanced beings, already ravaged by Jiani, couldn't possibly withstand the assault of hundreds. They were captured or annihilated one by one.

Then, they began to search for Dr. Harding with all their might. After some effort, they finally caught the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although the process was somewhat tumultuous, the outcome was ultimately good, all the more because they stumbled upon a profound secret that saved all of humanity.

The undercover agents who had been lurking for so long could finally go home for a good rest.

·······

Luna and Jiani returned to the recycling station with the data, where Qin Ming had already been waiting for a long time.

"Luna, you did very well," Qin Ming said.

Luna seemed reluctant to hand over the data. After hesitating for a moment, she still reminded him, "Dr. Qin, there might be a problem with this data."

"It's okay, Luna," Qin Ming said with a dismissive smile. "Even if there is a problem, I can make it not a problem."

He took Luna's phone and then turned to look at the two people beside Luna.

"You have completed my mission."

"Jiani, Sofia, you are free."

What Qin Ming meant was simple—they were free to leave.

But Jiani and Sofia didn't move and seemed not ready to go yet. "Doctor, you might still need our help," they said.

"No need, go home," he replied.

"Luna is enough for me."

With that, Qin Ming turned to Luna. "Right? Luna."

Luna responded with a smile, "Yes, Dr. Qin."

That night, Jiani and Sofia were kicked out of the house by Qin Ming, leaving only Qin Ming and Luna in the room.

....

However, the outside world had already been thrown into turmoil.

After that night, the United States government forcibly took over RST Corporation, and the United Nations also joined the investigation. They turned the company upside down and, together with the interrogation of Dr. Harding, finally uncovered the truth.

It turned out that Dr. Harding wanted to use the nanobot technology to control all of humanity.

The nanobots had deeply hidden control permissions, accessible through those permissions.

When they discovered this truth, they were terrified, thankful that the agents had uncovered it. The stakeholders who noticed the crucial role of the female spy and the mysterious mecha in this affair tried to investigate, but found all leads were severed and the mysterious mecha had vanished without a trace.

The government chose to make this matter public. Dr. Harding, CEO of RST Corporation, aimed to subvert human society and establish his rule.

This news was like a nuclear bomb dropped on human society, causing a huge stir. Everyone was shocked.

In the end, Dr. Harding was imprisoned amidst the cursing of all humanity, convicted of crimes against humanity.

The medical nanorobots, under government arrangement, came into public view, and this beneficial medical technology quickly spread across the world, launching globally.

With AIDS and STDs eradicated, human sexual proclivities ran wild like untamed horses without constraints.

Countries went all out, building nanobot factories and related industrial chains.

Many scientists labored day and night, and the cost of producing nanobots dropped from one hundred thousand to ten thousand dollars. The public needed only fifty thousand dollars to receive the injection,

Society began to shift, some celebrated while others despaired. The turnover of industries was so cruel, and the world's changes so swift.

Doctors woke up to find themselves abandoned by the age.

After many people were injected with medical nanorobots, the majority of diseases could be cured.

Many doctors from hospitals began reluctantly to change professions, never imagining that the medical profession, one of the three "iron rice bowls," would suddenly be eliminated. The most unfortunate were those medical students who had just completed their residency training and were about to start their careers.

Just as smartphones replaced Nokia, the medical industry did not disappear, it was merely superseded by more advanced science and technology.

Despite the medical practitioners expressing their dissatisfaction online and even protesting in reality, it was futile.

The wheels of time rolled inexorably forward; no one could stop them. Either adapt or be crushed into dust.

...

At this moment, there was still half an hour left until the countdown ended.

After more than ten days of intense study, Qin Ming had thoroughly understood the technology of the nanomechanical worms and found the highly secretive and misleading backdoor that Dr. Harding originally used for control.

This technology was the pinnacle of reverse genetic engineering. The entire nanoworm system could be programmed, involving nanotechnology, biotechnology, and computer technology among others. Fortunately, Qin Ming had a solid foundation of knowledge, which enabled him to master it in a short period of time.

Now, all that remained was to inject the nanoworms to cure the cancer in his body.

Luna had already gone to make the purchase, and he just needed to sit and wait.

Bored, Qin Ming turned on the TV, which had not been watched for a long time. The first thing that came up was a program about nanobots. The host was speaking fervently at the moment.

"The invention of the medical nanorobots marks the greatest victory in humanity's fight against disease since 1980 when humankind completely defeated the smallpox virus!"

"According to statistics, the injection rate of nanomedicine has now reached 60%. Today we can declare that humans have entered a new era of health!"

As the TV host finished speaking, Luna walked in, carrying a case.

She opened the case, took out the syringe filled with Nanite, and handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took it in his hand but didn't inject it right away. After examining the black nanobots inside again, he set the syringe aside.

A barely detectable flash of disappointment appeared in Luna's eyes. Just as she was about to ask him about it,

She heard Qin Ming ask,

"When?"

"What?" Luna seemed a bit puzzled, her face marked with confusion. "What are you talking about, Dr. Qin?"

"Nanite."

Qin Ming's previously lazy gaze sharpened, piercing Luna with a look that seemed to see through her.

Two seconds passed, and the corners of Luna's mouth curved into a strange smile:

"You found out after all, Dr. Qin."
