Every Day One Step Closer To the Manifestation

Chapter 261: Domineering ancestral genes

Feng Yi learned some of their experiences in catching sea snakes from several staff members of the zoo.

Although sea snakes basically live in the sea, they still belong to the class of reptiles. Yangcheng Zoo has recently added sea snakes, and Feng Yi heard the news and rushed over.

He was talking about helping, but he was actually looking for materials, which would help him compile... write a mission report.

After that, Feng Yi stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, writing task reports to the computer every day.

Well, Xiao B guide.

Guidance is acceptable, but cannot be written by someone else.

With materials, directions, and mentors, Feng Yi can write the task report much faster, not only can he complete it on schedule, but he can also give himself a few days off during this period!

Wen Suolin's matter is still under investigation, and on Feng Yi's side, people call or visit from time to time to ask questions about the case.

After all, there were too many doubts and coincidences in Feng Yi's entire search for the python.

When everyone was at a loss and was still searching for information, Feng Yi had already blocked people in the small county town.

The reason given by Feng Yi here is that he asked someone to help him find it, and coupled with his extraordinary sense of smell, he really found it.

Regardless of whether the person investigating the matter believes it or not, anyway, in this process, Feng Yi did not commit any illegal acts.

Feng Yi's sense of smell, this is sure to be found by checking, it is not a secret, Feng Yi has also caught mice and found Burmese pythons by smell.

Although there are many doubts, the focus of this case is Wen Solin and the person who secretly disclosed information to Wen Solin from within the law enforcement department.

The investigators were very busy and would not always focus on Feng Yi.

Of course, even though it was busy, the UN Security Bureau still assigned people to investigate the "toxicity" of this little python and re-evaluate its danger level.

"We isolated several mutant strains from the wound secretions of those two patients."

The person in charge of the appraisal of the United Insurance Bureau handed a test sheet to Feng Yi:

"After the bite, the wound purulent infection is accompanied by fever symptoms, the rapid increase of inflammatory indicators such as white blood cells and C-reactive protein, and various complications."

The two people who were bitten by the small python have now been transferred to the designated hospital in Yangcheng, and are also guarded by people from the United Nations Security Bureau and the local law enforcement department.

"Now several preferred drugs have been identified, and the treatment effect is alright. Mr. Wen's bodyguard can control the condition directly through drug treatment. The person found in the residence was a little more troublesome due to the long delay and needed surgery. way to clear the abscess.”

The person from the United Nations Insurance Bureau smiled and said to Feng Yi: "After finding the direction of treatment, the treatment is relatively simple. However, if the pathogenicity is too strong, its risk level will definitely increase, but it will not be too high. You can rest assured on this point."

Creatures with high levels of danger are not simply kept in zoos.

Feng Yi also smiled and thanked the other party.

The person from the United Nations Security Bureau continued: "We will continue to observe it for a period of time."

Feng Yi said, "Understood."

When he came back to Yangcheng, Feng Yi poisoned the "little koi" to two adult men, and told Dr. Xiao Wu about the symptoms of the two men.

Dr. Xiao Wu mentioned to Feng Yi that it would be more troublesome if the oral bacteria of "Little Koi" mutated into multi-drug resistance, that is, super bacteria.

But now that he saw the inspection list from the United Nations Security Bureau, Feng Yi was relieved.

Not to the point of superbugs.

To that extent, Feng Yi might not be able to keep it now.

Before the people from the UN Security Bureau left, they remembered something and said to Feng Yi:

"Oh, there are several researchers at the research base who are squatting in the zoo reptile hall to take samples to study its oral microbes, trying to figure out the reasons for the mutation of the bacteria. When the park keepers fed it, it may be that several researchers gathered together. So close that it startled and vomited."

Feng Yi: "And then what?"

People from the United Nations Security Bureau: "The suckling rat it vomited was snatched by the researchers."

Feng Yi: "…"

The people from the UN Security Bureau patted Feng Yi on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, it's alright, the little python has been protected by the people in the zoo, and now no one other than the investigators is allowed to approach."

Feng Yi thought: "That little snake is really pitiful, let's go see it tomorrow.

He put down the report and finally rescued it, but don't hang up.

I thanked the people from the United Security Bureau. After the people left, Feng Yi called the director of the park and asked about it there.

The head of the garden looked indignant, and told Feng Yi about the "little koi" spitting out food today in detail.

Now the "little koi" eat more than the small pythons of the same period, and the frequency of eating is also a little higher.

The other little pythons were not fed today, only the "little koi" were fed the suckling rats, who would have been frightened and vomited.

"I gave it another suckling mouse, and it hasn't eaten yet."

The gardener looked sad.

The next day, Feng Yi went to the zoo.

Arrive at the crawl house, quarantined partition.

"How is it?" Feng Yi asked.

"I refuse to eat, it's placed in the corner." The head of the garden continued to look sad.

Feng Yi walked over and opened the door of the glass room.

The "little koi" leaning against the stone wall in the corner quickly crawled over.

Feng Yi reached out and touched the top of its head, but did not let it climb directly onto his hand.

When Feng Yi did not take any protective measures and directly stretched out his hand, the director wanted to say something next to him, but he just opened his mouth. What he originally wanted Feng Yi to be careful with turned into:

"It's still sticking to you, maybe it's more familiar with your scent."

"Where's the food?" Feng Yi asked.

The director of the park hurriedly asked people to process the food and send it over. Their zoo fed snakes but not live animals. Coupled with the suspected poisoning of the "little koi" this time, the inspection of food is even stricter.

Feng Yi used a clip to hold the food and hung it diagonally above the "little koi".

"Little Koi" spit out snake letters, stared at the direction of the food with black eyes, then snapped at it and entangled it.

Feng Yi let go of the clip when it was feeding.

"good."

The momentum of the little python just now was quite ferocious.

The headmaster looked overjoyed.

"So energetic, it seems to be fine!"

Feng Yi closed the door of the glass room, handed the clip back to the staff, and walked aside to wash his hands.

Hearing the director's words, Feng Yi said, "It's almost recovered, just don't be frightened again."

The head of the garden responded quickly: "Hey! I will definitely let someone guard it!"

This is a treasure of their zoo, no more theft and fright!

Feng Yi wiped his hands and looked at the little python that was cooking in the glass room.

The snake's emotions are not so rich, Feng Yi looks at the fierceness of its cooking, and it is estimated that he has forgotten the previous unpleasantness.

When Feng Yi came back from a stroll around the other parts of the reptile hall, the little koi had already found a place to sleep in a daze.

This is how snakes are. If there is no hunting demand, they do not need much space for walking, and they sleep in a daze most of the time.

Looking at the attitude of the zoo to the "little koi", Feng Yi seems to see the future of its fat house.

In a captive breeding environment, the probability of getting out of a fat house is too high. Even a king cobra can gain a lot of weight, let alone a large boa. The tonnage is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After leaving the zoo, Feng Yi did not go home directly, but went to a hospital.

The hospital belonging to the ancestor factory.

The equipment in the underground laboratory, Xiao Wu listed on the list is basically all bought. The remaining ones that have not been configured are not because the funds are not in place, but because the instruments are either out of stock or waiting for delivery and installation.

However, some instruments can only come to the hospital here.

The underground laboratory cannot be placed, the utilization rate is not high, and the maintenance is inconvenient. There is no need to move everything to the underground laboratory.

Xiao Wu's own complex examinations or research are all in the hospital of the ancestor factory.

It was not the doctor here who examined Feng Yi. Still Xiao Wu.

They just use the places and instruments here.

The reason why Feng Yi took the initiative to come over for an inspection was also because of the "little koi".

Feng Yi guessed that the "little koi" poisoning this time should be induced by active factors.

In order to enhance its life signal, Feng Yi sent it active factors.

Compared with those that spilled out to the surroundings when molting, Feng Yi delivered a higher concentration of active factors to the little python.

In a short period of time, the excess active factor enhanced the life signal of the little python, and also induced the normal bacterial mutation.

It appears that this active factor cannot be used arbitrarily.

Too much input in a short period of time can easily cause some uncontrollable mutations.

Active factors can affect all living things.

Bacteria are prokaryotes, a living organism.

Viruses, which can also be seen as a non-cellular life form, can also be affected.

If it is as he thought, after this incident, Feng Yi can understand why the ancestors all went to the rocky island to "cross the calamity".

Don't easily upset the balance of normal human living conditions.

For Feng Yi, human beings are too fragile, and they are already enough to kill him. If he pushes again, he will have to clear it directly.

Xiao Wu is also looking forward to the wonderful combination of microorganisms carried by Feng Yi.

This kind of expectation is like, when he was a child, he watched the dragon in the movie and wondered what the tick on the dragon would look like?

With great anticipation, I checked the flora of Fengyi's mouth, nasopharynx and esophagus.

When the results came out, Dr. Xiao Wu looked at the results in his hands and was stunned for a while.

When Dr. Xiao Wu came back from the hospital, Feng Yi wrote a report at home, saw Xiao Wu and asked, "How is it?"

Xiao Wu's gaze turned to Feng Yi, as if he was looking at an alien.

He did not directly answer Feng Yi's question, but said:

"You know, bacteria account for more than 99% of the microbes in the human body. The colonizing flora and the human host depend on each other and benefit from each other."

"These colonized microflora have important effects on human development, immune function, nutrient absorption and energy metabolism, etc. In a healthy and balanced state, there is nothing wrong. Once the balance is out of balance, people will get sick."

"I am a person with a cleanliness addiction, but even if I have a cleanliness addiction, I have to admit that I do have a lot of bacteria in my body, which are necessary for survival, especially the intestines. Without them, I may easily be gone. "

Feng Yi nodded, "These are common sense."

"Yes, common sense!" Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with surprise.

"There is a study called the "Human Microbiome Project", which is to sequence microorganisms in various parts of the human body, decipher their entire genomes, and study their relationship with human health."

"The genome of the colony flora that symbiotically coexists with the human body is known in some fields as the 'second genome' of human beings. The genes we generally call, the ones you inherit, are the 'first genome'."

"The first genome and the second genome together determine whether the state of the human body is healthy or diseased."

"but…"

Doctor Xiao Wu helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked straight at Feng Yi:

"In you, there may be no second genome! Or, the sense of existence is so low that it can be ignored!"

Feng Yi was also full of surprise, "No?"

Normal people have it, but I don't?

Xiao Wu nodded, "The test results I got show that there are really no parts of the test, or the presence is very weak, and it will disappear in a few minutes. The effect is comparable to spraying disinfectant.

"Your immune system is not like a normal person."

Strictly speaking, it is different from all the creatures Xiao Wu knows!

"Perhaps your first gene is too powerful and domineering, and the second gene is not allowed to exist at all."

When Feng Yi is in a healthy state, the second genome simply does not have enough room for growth!

If there is a second genome on him, that's a big deal!

Xiao Wu: "All the food, before it enters your stomach, the microorganisms in it have been almost killed. Perhaps in the process of chewing, a large number of microorganisms have been killed. The remaining microorganisms that escaped the killing are in It was completely digested in the stomach."

Feng Yi: "Oh."

Xiao Wu: "However, the data is incomplete now, and the important ones have not been tested, so we can't draw conclusions. Do you want to test the intestines?"

Feng Yi: "No, forget it."

Xiao Wu showed regret: "It's also very simple to measure, only fresh ones are needed for routine..."

Feng Yi: "That's it!"

"Okay. Next time, only the oropharyngeal and esophageal flora will be measured. You don't have to go to the hospital in the ancestor factory. The equipment in the underground laboratory is sufficient, or you can just do a nasopharyngeal and throat swab. You don't need such a complicated genome analyzer. Anyway. There is a high probability that the second genome cannot be detected."

It was a pity that Xiao Wuman returned to the underground laboratory. He was a clean freak and didn't care. The boss's idol burden is a little heavy.

He also wanted to study the genes in Feng Yi that can exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory efficacy.

Now it is found that there is no room for the second genome in Feng Yi. If there is no direction, there is a feeling that there is no way to start. I don't know which direction is the direction, or where is the direction.

However, he was not discouraged, on the contrary, he was more interested.

Difficulty and challenging, fun!

Ah, my choice was indeed right!

What an amazing creature!

Xiao Wu looked at the results of the microbiological examination this time, sighed softly, turned on his office computer, and opened a folder.

Inside is a dense collection of journal articles—

"Differences and Similarities Between Reptiles and Human Relevant Microbiota"

"Comparison of the dominant flora in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals and reptiles"

"Sources and Protection Countermeasures of Snake Pathogenic Microorganisms"

"Study on microbial diversity in the upper gastrointestinal tract of snakes"
