Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

Jiang Zhiren operated the nanorobot, directly wrapped the mutated meat ball, and then transferred it into the independent life-sustaining isolation cabin.

After the transfer was completed, Huang Fan greeted Jiang Zhiren and told his findings, and the two began to study the mutated meat ball.

On the image of the whole gene sequence analysis of the atomic scanner, the gene sequence of virus No. 4 turned into a double helix.

What surprised them even more was that the double helix formed by the No. 4 virus actually formed a pair of chromosomes, as if it had become the 24th pair of chromosomes in the meatball cells.

"What's going on here?" Huang Fan looked at the No. 4 virus that automatically formed chromosomes.

Jiang Zhiren was also puzzled, this was the first time they encountered this situation.

Could it be a camouflage for the purpose of parasitizing in organisms, but why should it become a pattern of chromosomes

While carefully researching, the two hurriedly reported this discovery to the scientific committee.

For this weird alien virus, we must be cautious, any negligence may cause unpredictable impact.

3 Chapter Thirty Base Nucleus Fragments

Blue Star, Qinghai Lake base.

It used to be a research and development base for biological computers, but after the advent of the new era, it became the headquarters of the Institute of Life Sciences.

The chief academician is Fang Ge, while Li Jiahang is the dean, and there are also top biologists such as Lin Sha and Sim Baker.

In the dean's office, after Li Jiahang transferred to a management job, he became slightly fatter, mainly because he didn't need to spend too much time doing scientific research.

It's just that the administrative work in the new era is completely different from that in the AD era. The current dean is equivalent to the minister of logistics, serving scientists exclusively.

The person who actually decides on scientific research projects is the Scientific Decision-Making Office of the Academy. This office is generally composed of 3 permanent decision-makers and 12 rotating decision-makers.

Li Jiahang felt the seriousness of the matter as soon as he received the urgent report from the Mars outpost.

It is also a biochemical threat level, and it is a super highly mutated virus, and this virus can also pretend to be a cell chromosome, so as to achieve symbiosis with the cell.

He immediately forwarded this priority 9.2 report to the decision-making office.

……

Fang Ge, who was cooperating with Simbeck to study the telomeres of human chromosomes, suddenly popped up an urgent report.

Priority 9.2 Fang Ge's expression suddenly became serious. It is already very urgent that the priority can reach this level.

"Sim, you guys are busy first, I will deal with the urgent documents."

Simbeck gave an OK gesture.

Fang Ge, who turned around, quickly opened the specific content of the report and browsed carefully.

After spending more than ten minutes reading it, Fang Ge suddenly felt that the No. 4 virus was very weird. It was the first time she had seen a virus that could disguise itself as a chromosome.

While thinking, she walked into the disinfection channel, and soon came to the decision-making office, where another decision-making shift had arrived.

The two entered the virtual meeting room together.

in the virtual conference room.

Lin Sha and the others were already among them. After Fang Ge arrived, the meeting officially started.

Generally, if the priority exceeds 9, the decision-making office of the research institute needs to hold an emergency meeting.

"For the No. 4 highly mutated virus discovered at the Mars outpost, please share your opinions." Fang Ge said bluntly.

Everyone discussed fiercely. For this unknown virus, the scientists present all understood the high risks hidden in it. The threat of alien viruses to Blue Star was no less than that of alien invasion.

"I propose that the mutated strain and the meat ball be destroyed immediately."

"No, one has two, and destroying the mutated strain and meat balls won't help."

"We can't stop eating because of choking. This is not a scientific approach. We should study these viruses in depth while strengthening the isolation and management of Martian viruses."

"Knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible. Only when you have a deep understanding of the virus can you defeat the virus."

The heated discussions among the decision-makers mainly revolved around the balance between security issues and research value.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Fang Ge said, "Let's vote! Whether to destroy the mutated strain"

[2 votes in favor, 13 votes in disagreement. ]

If more than 75% of the votes do not agree to destroy the mutated strain, the mutated strain will be temporarily retained.

Fang Ge said seriously: "Since the vast majority agree to keep it, I would like to share my opinion. First, name the virus, second, safety issues should be strengthened, third, the direction of in-depth research, and fourth, temporarily prohibit human testing. .”

In the next decision, the virus was named "Yinghuo virus", and then how to study this virus was discussed.

"Judging from the report, after the mutated strain and the meat ball complete the symbiosis, there is no obvious destructive effect on the vital signs of the meat ball, but hidden risks cannot be ruled out." Lin Sha cautiously pointed to the virtual report and said.

"This allows Huang Fan and Jiang Zhiren to continue their research."

"There are only two of them, do we need to send more researchers over?"

Fang Ge thought for a while: "I propose to send 15 more researchers there, but they can sleep in the Phobos satellite city and use stand-in robots to work in the Martian outpost."

"agree."

"That's one way."

……

When Blue Star was discussing the Fluorescent Virus.

In the biochemical experiment cabin of the Martian outpost.

Huang Fan and Jiang Zhiren discovered that two meat balls had mutated again, but the mutation of the two meat balls failed.

One of the meat balls became very "greedy". Under the stimulation of the mutated strain, its demand for nutrient solution increased by more than three times.

The meat ball was turned into a breeding factory by the mutated virus strain, and the meat ball continuously sprayed viruses outward.

The other meat ball was directly killed by the virus and used as nourishment for the virus to reproduce.

Summarizing the data analysis of the two meatballs, Huang Fan found that the uncertain mutation of the original strain of Fluorescence virus was too fast. Once the environment changed significantly, the original strain would complete mutation adaptation within a few hours.

But this kind of mutation is like Brownian motion, and it may mutate into a symbiotic strain, a parasitic strain, or a highly virulent strain.

"Straight man, what do you think we should do next?"

The calm Jiang Zhiren thought for a few minutes: "Study the high mutation characteristics of the flu virus."
