Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 731 Dangerous Use Methods

Zhou Rui has not been infected with "H1N1".

But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been exposed to it in nature.

As the most famous virus incident in the past few years, it happened before Zhou Rui was reborn and caused quite a stir at the time.

Fortunately, the influenza virus is "strongly transmissible and weakly lethal", which caused a certain amount of panic but did not cause too serious a disaster.

He tentatively said the name, but he had a few other things in mind.

The goal is clear.

Try to use the ability to "imitate a cat and draw a tiger" to analyze the simplest "creature" in the world.

virus.

Sure enough, as Zhou Rui's order was issued, the calm sea quickly responded.

Talk about your editing needs:
"Without changing other traits, the creature's replication speed will be enhanced to within five hours."

Very strange!
Fortunately, the system still defines it as a "biological creature" and can initiate analysis.

So at this time, it can only be regarded as extremely thin, and even a little stretched.

In this world, there is no longer any complex life form whose genes are pure and do not involve viruses.

Their mission seems to be to continuously infect, inject their own genes, and then coexist.

After a cursory glance, there were barely tens of thousands of them.

Strange substances representing genetic information emerged from the bottom of the sea, broke through the water, and gathered in the sky.

8% of the genetic information in human genes comes from viruses, which is caused by continuous infection and coexistence from ancient times to the present.

If we say that when we analyzed the "human genome" just now, it was boundless and vast.

Good guy. It’s a little scary!

Because there were not many of them, a small cloud quickly formed this time.

At this time it is light green.
The entire pitch-black boundless sea turned into a bleak color of forgiveness.

But there is one difference. When I was analyzing "human beings" just now, the sea water emitted a translucent light orange light, which looked very vital.

This is quite complicated. The simplest "mimetic virus" only has more than 300 nucleotides.

If these characteristics of them are isolated, they are actually more like ubiquitous and self-reproducing "micro-robots" rather than "living things".

He was not very well prepared, and he had not studied anything specifically, but the average replication time of the virus was 7-8 hours, so this requirement was not too excessive.

They are everywhere, exist forever, and coexist with all things.

Yes, viruses are such simple and unpretentious creatures.

Viruses that are feared by humans and can cause human diseases are only an extremely rare part of nature.

This time, he finally didn't hear the words "the host is too bad" anymore.

Zhou Rui's "perspective" floated to the clouds, stared at it for a moment, and decided to do something simple first.

The small clouds in front of him surged rapidly, and finally turned into new clouds that Zhou Rui could not see changing, but had indeed changed.

For the "genome map" composed of tens of thousands of genetic information, Zhou Rui can already check it "manually".

If he wishes, he can even memorize the location and content of this genetic information.

Just like an engineering creation composed of tens of thousands of parts, it is not difficult for him.

Of course, if he chooses "Confirm" and consumes this opportunity to use his ability, the system should give him a more intuitive and convenient form to check.

However, he has no such plans for the time being, this time it is just a test.

After observing the clouds for a long time, Zhou Rui roughly understood the operating mechanism of "imitating a cat and drawing a tiger".

He seems to be able to be an irresponsible Party A, but the need is more vague.

"On the premise of not changing other traits, try to strengthen the infection ability and immunity to deception as much as possible."

The clouds surged again.

After lowering the standard from "human" to "virus", this ability becomes more interesting.

The only pity is that compared to the "same approach but the same purpose" design drawings, this one is not so intuitive.
After every change, it's still the same thing
"New command: Strengthen this life, only effective for white people." I just played it and didn't take it seriously.
Really!

------

Outside, Zhou Rui had closed his eyes and rested for a long time.

Ridiculously long.

So much so that Han Ziyin and Li Wenqian thought he was asleep.

However, they knew that Zhou Rui would occasionally have this kind of situation, so they didn't bother him and just pretended to be thinking about the problem.

It wasn't until early in the morning that Zhou Rui finally "came to his senses."

There is a very complicated expression on his face.

It seems like there is lingering fear?
Han Ziyin asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Rui exhaled a breath and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Li Wenqian suggested: "How about we sleep together? Uh~ I mean really sleep."

Zhou Rui shook his head and looked at the paper on "Molecular Biology" on the computer screen, which he had found when he was brushing up on experience.

Recalling what happened in the system space just now, Zhou Rui could only say:

Viruses are really evil!
The structure is so simple, yet so effective
Just now, with a playful attitude, he tentatively mentioned some needs that were quite anti-human.

Directly increasing the fatality rate or something like that is already considered unpretentious and upright.

What damages the telomeres of chromosomes and causes contagious lifespan reduction?

What destroys the reproductive system and achieves infectious castration?

What destroys nerve cells and achieves contagious intelligence?

You can even set racial targeting.

The system is very impressive and can even be edited.

And due to its simple structure, targeted modification of viruses is a technology that already exists in reality.

In other words, these edited killer weapons are practical and can be brought into the real world.

But he didn't dare to really bring those things out.

Not necessarily. The most important thing is: viruses can mutate.

Moreover, the mutated thief is fierce and fast.

As long as it is released into nature, it will become completely uncontrollable. It will mutate infinitely according to the environment and the infected host, until it can completely coexist with living organisms and infiltrate its own genes into the genes of living organisms.

If someone develops a "virus" as a weapon, Zhou Rui can only say that it is definitely bad and stupid.

This ability cannot be used like this
At least in this day and age, he sees no reason to do so.
Of course, if we unfortunately encounter drastic changes in the future, mighty dragons wail, Kunpeng falls, and the mountains and rivers are in trouble.
That could be used to lift a table.

Forget it, he still prefers engineering
It's simple and straightforward, just blow it up for me and that's it.

And viruses are too dangerous.
Even if it is modified in a direction that is beneficial to mankind, there is still the risk of uncontrollable mutation.

His mind couldn't stop thinking. Zhou Rui's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he even had the urge to go back to the system space and try again.

At this time, a plain hand reached over and closed Zhou Rui's notebook.

Looking back, Han Ziyin said seriously: "You look like you are not in good condition. Let's rest. We have to help Tong Xin move tomorrow."

Zhou Rui wanted to refuse, but Han Ziyin's green-white finger gently smoothed his frown.

Han Ziyin pointedly said: "Be obedient and take a bath with me. You will be rewarded."

Zhou Rui was pulled away before he could react.

Li Wenqian obviously didn't respond, and shouted from behind in confusion: "What reward? Can I come too!"

Han Ziyin's ethereal voice came from the bathroom.

"You are also rewarded for coming!"

Li Wenqian:? ? ?
