Interstellar Industrial Age

One moment there may be blue sky and white clouds, but the next moment it may be dark clouds rolling and pouring rain.

This is exactly the situation at this time. In just a blink of an eye, there are dark clouds outside, lightning and thunder, and soon torrential rain begins to pour down. The huge raindrops continue to blow on the glass of the spacecraft, and then form a water curtain on the glass. , making the outside scenery look more hazy.

Tsk tsk, this view is really nice~

Li Jingxuan looked at the scenery outside. In the pitch-dark world, the lightning flashes in the sky suddenly turned bright like daytime.

Li Jingxuan could even clearly see a group of apes hiding on top of a tall tree and shivering. The heavy rain in the sky was like the pouring of the Milky Way. It was so huge that it formed a water curtain, like a waterfall flying .

This AIDS is sourced from Africa. It is said that it first appeared on apes and finally spread to humans. Do you think it is possible for us to find something that can cure AIDS here?

Liu Daoming was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside. He had been here for a few days, and he was already tired of seeing all kinds of scenery.

The main reason for his visit to the African rainforest this time is to find drugs that can treat AIDS. He and Li Jingxuan have been studying AIDS for several years.

The two have been studying this thing since they were in college, and even went to space and the moon to study the changes of HIV in vacuum and microgravity environments, and published many related research papers.

But until now, the two have still not been able to develop a drug that can truly treat AIDS, so the two also set their sights on Africa, on this vast land.

Africa is known as the birthplace of human beings. The climate here is hot all the year round, and there are many kinds of animals and plants. Under the unique geographical environment, Africa is the birthplace of various diseases.

In the early days of the Earth's Great Voyage Age, when the Europeans just started to colonize Africa, they did not dare to go deep into the inland areas of Africa.

This is not because the local black uncles in Africa are powerful enough to defeat the European colonists, but because of the heat in Africa, there are many diseases, viruses, poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and so on.

After a long period of evolution, these local black uncles have been able to adapt to the environment here, but the colonists from Europe, in such an environment, could not adapt at all, and suffered heavy casualties.

That is to say, later, with the continuous development of European medical technology, especially the emergence of microscopes, and more in-depth research on bacteria and viruses, Europeans were able to gradually go deep into this ancient land for colonization.

After research by scientists, AIDS is generally believed to have originated in Africa. The source is a SIV virus carried by a chimpanzee. This SIV virus is regarded as the ancestor of the HIV virus, and the HIV virus evolved on the basis of the SIV virus.

People in Africa ate chimpanzees carrying the SIV virus and contracted the virus. The virus mutated in the human body and eventually evolved into the HIV virus that made the world a discoloration.

Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan, who have studied HIV for many years, also expressed support for this view.

Therefore, in order to be able to develop a drug for the treatment of HIV virus, the two also entered the tropical rain forest.

I do not know either.

Li Jingxuan smiled and shook his head.

However, we can make new discoveries every day, and we are not in vain.

That's right. Tomorrow we'll go catch some chimpanzees and see if the chimpanzees in this area carry the SIV virus.

Liu Daoming nodded and looked outside.

The heavy rain came and went very fast. The two of them had just finished their meal, and the pouring rain outside disappeared cleanly, and the bright moon began to appear, casting a hazy layer of gauze on the rainforest. The rain forest also began to think of bursts of screams, as if celebrating the passing of the heavy rain.

The next morning, Liu Daoming woke up early.

Outside the anti-gravity spaceship, the air was exceptionally fresh. It was in the rainforest. It rained heavily last night. Just taking a sip of the air made people feel shocked.

Soon, after breakfast, Liu Daoming and his team began to act in the rainforest again.

Where did the group of apes you saw last night go?

In the dense tropical rain forest, Liu Daoming used a telescope to search among the tall trees above his head from time to time, and the sounds of apes and monkeys kept coming from his ears, but they could never be found.

Here~

chasing~

Anesthetize a few with an anesthesia gun, and draw a little of their blood.

Liu Daoming kept chasing these apes in the rainforest. The gray-haired apes didn't look much different from other apes, and Liu Daoming just treated them as the most common apes.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Daoming and others followed the group of apes to a relatively empty area. In the center of this area, there was a very thick tree.

The diameter of this big tree is more than ten meters, and the height is hundreds of meters. It is very thick and has a huge crown. The vines wrapped around the trunk are as thick as adult arms, and they are full of red flowers.

The red color of this kind of flower is not ordinary red, but the kind that is so red that it seems to drip out, like blood, and the bright red piece is like a group of flames.

At the same time, this big tree is also full of red fruits. This red fruit is only the size of a hawthorn, and it is so delicate that people can't help but want to pick a few and taste it.

What tree is this?

Liu Daoming, Li Jingxuan and others carefully observed this tall tree. Such tall trees are rare in this primitive rainforest.

More importantly, this kind of tree has never been seen before, and this kind of red flowers and red fruit.

Everyone, be careful. I haven't found this tree in the database. It should be a species that has not yet been discovered. This red flower and fruit should also be highly poisonous.

Li Jingxuan used the virtual machine he carried with him to search for his strength. He could not find any information on this tree, nor could he find any information on this kind of flower or fruit in the database.

However, in the wilderness, the brighter things are, the more terrifying they are. Just like fungi, most of the bright red mushrooms are poisonous mushrooms.

Those apes are eating this red fruit~

Liu Daoming looked at the top of the tree with the binoculars, and soon, he couldn't help screaming. The group of apes that he and others were tracking were eating red fruits constantly on this big tree.

Hey~~

With the sound of a few small gunshots, the apes soon swayed and fell down.

Everyone quickly collect samples and record everything here.

Liu Daoming, Li Jingxuan and others started to get busy.

This big tree has a history of at least thousands of years. As for how many years, we have to go back to the laboratory for testing to be able to accurately know~

Such an ancient tree is really rare. The key is that the tree seems to be very healthy.

Li Jingxuan carefully observed this ancient tree, it was very vigorous, the traces of the years were clearly visible on it, and a sense of vicissitudes came oncoming.

He took out a short knife and stabbed it gently on the trunk, as if it had stabbed into the body of an animal, a red liquid like blood emerged.

I'm going~ This tree is still fine~

Li Jingxuan was taken aback, then took out a utensil to collect the red liquid flowing from the ancient tree.

Is it a dragon's blood tree?

Liu Daoming thought for a while and said.

No, the dragon's blood tree is only a type of potted plant, it is impossible to grow to such a large size, and the shape, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. of this tree do not match, it is definitely not a dragon's blood tree.

Then, Liu Daoming shook his head quickly. Before coming to this tropical rain forest, Liu Daoming had conducted in-depth research on various plants, and he was very clear about various plants and so on.

The team of Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan kept busy around this big tree. Some people collected and kept taking pictures, and took pictures of everything about this big tree, including the surrounding environment, plants, etc., so that they can be carefully checked after going back. for comparison.

Some people collect red flowers, red fruits, and even cut off some trees and vines to make indications; some people sample the surrounding soil to analyze trace elements in the soil, and even small insects in the soil, etc. And so also bring back some for research.

The whole team was busy for more than an hour, collecting all kinds of samples.

Go back, I have a hunch that we may have a big harvest today.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Liu Daoming also waved his hand. He really couldn't wait any longer. Every time he encountered a new and exotic plant, he would feel extremely excited and wanted to find out the characteristics of this plant and what it has. medicinal value.

PS: Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests~
