"I heard that the headquarters plans to build a mass projector on the back of the moon, which should shorten the time to travel to Jupiter." Wise Hernandez stood up: "Continue the experiment!"

"no problem."

The two entered the experimental cabin again and continued the experiment.

After knocking out specific gene segments, they began to try to breed these new lunar bacteria.

For one week, the two conducted 14 experiments successively, knocking out 14 related gene segments respectively.

During this period, those lunar bacteria that had been knocked out of the gene segment also behaved differently.

Some died directly, some grew out of control, and some divided at a much slower rate.

By analyzing these situations, Kudo Naoya and Wise have a preliminary understanding of the gene fragments of some lunar bacteria and the biological functions they represent.

The functions of several of the gene fragments made Wise ecstatic, because these gene fragments were specially adapted to the moon's gravity and evolved.

If these genes are inserted into the gene sequences of earth organisms, it may be possible to make the strains of biosynthesis technology more adaptable to the gravity of the moon.

After reading the analysis report, Wise sighed: "Huh! The sample is still too simple."

"If you don't want to expand the scope of exploration, find a few hot fountains as a starting point, and dig underground aquifers around it, maybe you may not be able to find other lunar creatures." Naoya Kudo suggested.

"Expand the scope of exploration?" Wise scratched his head wrapped in protective clothing.

Wise doesn't have much opinion on expanding the scope of exploration. The only trouble is that the Copernicus base is understaffed at this time.

Kudo Naoya continued: "We can work together in a division of labor. I will continue to study lunar bacteria, and you can find the underground aquifer of the thermal fountain."

"Is that so? That's good." Wise nodded.

While the two were communicating how to adapt to changes, something happened on the other side of the earth.

With the arrival of August in Xinghe 2, the extreme weather on the earth has not decreased, but has become more and more intense.

Floods, typhoons, droughts, and freezes took place in turns around the world, and grief was everywhere for a while.

Under the ravages of extreme weather, many little shrimps were also forced into a desperate situation.

Even if the four major forces successively took action to give loans and aid to these small shrimps in the fringe world, it still did not alleviate the panic of these small shrimps.

However, the sudden thunderstorm of another incident caused a big problem in North America's food all at once.

Chapter 535 Allergies

Mississippi.

jackson city.

Inside an agricultural research facility.

"This is already the fifth large-scale allergic inflammation this month. No, I have to announce this." Dr. Austin put down the report in his hand with a serious face.

At this moment, his assistant knocked on the door and walked in, with a hint of worry on his face: "Doctor, someone outside wants to see you."

"What?" Austin noticed something was wrong when he saw the assistant's expression.

However, three uninvited men in black suits walked straight into his office. The bald man at the head took out his ID: "Dr. Austin, I am Brownie from the FBI. Here is my ID."

But Dr. Austin didn't care about the so-called documents, but looked directly at the other party: "What's the matter?"

Brownie narrowed his eyes: "Doctor, let's stop this matter! You should understand what I mean, don't make things difficult for us."

"..." Dr. Austin reacted instantly, and then asked back with a frown: "Don't you guys know the seriousness of this matter?"

"Sorry, ABCD needs a little time, we will take care of everything." Brownie replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Dr. Austin shot up at the case: "Fack! You are hiding the truth. Do you know how many people will die because of this? Bastards! You are promoting the evil of ABCD!"

"Doctor! We have no choice, at least they still have food, so don't ask so much." Brownie spread her hands calmly.

"I won't stop..."

Click!Brownie's pistol was loaded immediately, aiming at Dr. Austin's eyebrows: "Doctor! You don't want to shoot yourself, do you?"

grunt!Dr. Austin suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and his body trembled even more.

The assistant on the side was frightened and his teeth chattered.

A few minutes later, Dr. Austin was in the midst of the battle between heaven and man, and his desire to survive quickly overwhelmed his compassionate morality: "Hoo...ho... OK, you have won!"

"Very good! Doctor, I wish you a happy life, goodbye!" Brownie put away the pistol, then waved his hand, and left with his men.

Seeing the car of Brownie and his party, they left the street not far away.

Standing on the window eaves with his hands, Dr. Austin, who was standing by the window, seemed to have his spine broken, and his whole body collapsed on the floor.

The assistant at the side hurried over, helped him onto the sofa, and poured him another glass of water.

"Doctor, let's not study it." The assistant was really scared.

Dr. Austin stared blankly at the ceiling with blank eyes.

After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Do you think you can hide this from everyone? Don't forget, Homo sapiens is watching you."

Brownie in the car heard Dr. Austin's hysterical roar through the bug. His face was still the same poker face, and there was no change because of it.

In fact, without Dr. Austin's reminder, the FBI behind Brownie has already expected that Homo sapiens will soon find out about this matter.

Because this matter is not only a problem in America, but the entire free association, as well as a part of the Americas, have been affected.

Especially the Aztec regions that are not part of the free association.

Aztec.

To the north is Monterey, Texas.

The hospitals here are overcrowded at this time.

Several doctors looked at the crowd of children with allergies and inflammation, worry and anger on their faces.

The attending physician Obregón walked back and forth anxiously holding several physical examination reports: "This is not dermatitis at all, but a food allergy and the stress response of the human immune system."

A nurse hurried in: "Doctor Obregon, the patient in emergency room No. [-] needs to be rescued..."

"Damn it! I'll be there right away."

Just as a large-scale allergic inflammation broke out in Monterey, a huge airship arrived on the outskirts of Monterey.

This allergic inflammation incident actually did not occur recently, but more than three months ago, sporadic children developed allergic inflammation one after another.

It's just that people in Central America didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was seasonal pollen allergies or the like.

However, by the beginning of August, more and more children showed similar clinical symptoms, and 172 children even died from it, and some young adults also developed allergic inflammation.

At this time, all parts of Central America were bewildered and felt the seriousness of the matter.

On the one hand, they organized their own hospital and pathological researchers to investigate this matter.

On the one hand, they quickly sent a distress call to Free World and Homo Sapiens.

In fact, Homo sapiens was well aware of this incident, but Liu Zhifan and Chen Jianxiong did not warn the rest of Central America, but deliberately waited for the incident to erupt.

After all, all parts of Central America have been doing both sides, trying to strike a balance between the free world and Homo sapiens.

Liu Zhifan would not be so kind as to remind them that they would not give up if they were not allowed to try the free world's relief food.

What's more, taking the initiative to rescue and kneeling down to ask for help are two different things.

As soon as I received distress letters from all over Central America.

Liu Zhifan and Chen Jianxiong acted immediately, first they launched a public opinion offensive, directly announcing the culprit of the allergic inflammation this time.

Originally, the Internet in all parts of Central America was basically occupied by Homo sapiens’ free mobile phones and laptops. Therefore, Homo Sapiens launched an online public opinion offensive, which instantly aroused the anger of the local people.

In fact, the root cause of this allergic inflammation incident is corn.

To be precise, it is genetically modified corn containing the BT factor, which is specifically insect-resistant genetically modified corn, and is currently the mainstream raw material for feed, chemicals, and biofuels.

Originally, this thing was used as feed and biofuel, and did not directly enter the human diet.

However, some time ago, due to the sudden change in climate, in order to stabilize the food supply, some genetically modified corn containing double BT factor genes were used for food aid in various parts of Central America, and were even processed into corn flakes, which were sold within the free association.

BT factor can kill pests, which is the core technology of this type of transgenic corn.

However, BT factors are also potentially risky to the human body, especially when used as a daily staple food.

Many grain-fed cattle that use genetically modified corn as feed have a much higher disease rate than grass-fed cattle. The impact of BT factor is very critical, because BT factor will continue to stimulate the intestines and stomach of cattle and keep them in a state of mild inflammation for a long time (similar to oral inflammation in humans).

This inflammation is not fatal, but it is very uncomfortable, because the cow is large enough to resist it.

However, the weight of humans is often only one-tenth of that of cows, especially children with poor immunity. Once they eat GM corn containing BT factors for a long time, they will have symptoms of inflammation in the body.

It just so happened that the Aztec and other Mesoamerican regions used corn as their staple food, so it became the region with the most patients in this incident.

On the contrary, Africa, which has always accepted the dumping of low-priced food by Homo sapiens, has not experienced related problems.

And West Asia, where rice and wheat are the staple food, also has no problems.

Only in Central America, where corn is the staple food, there is intensive allergic inflammation.

The exposure of this incident caused an uproar in an instant, and the food aid from the free association suddenly became unsatisfactory.

Chapter 536 Expensive Treatment

Aztec city of Monterrey.

The medical airship dispatched by Homo sapiens is parked on a nearby flat ground.

A large number of patients with allergic inflammation were sent here by ambulance, and most of them were children aged 4 to 10.

The reason why they are all children aged 4 to 10 is because these children have relatively weak immunity.

Infants under 4 years old, on the contrary, did not have allergic inflammation because they ate milk powder or fresh milk and did not eat genetically modified corn.

Obregon, the attending physician at the Monterey Public Hospital, came to the medical airship in person because he was worried about the patient's condition and to better explain the patient's condition.

Although he had heard about the power of Homo sapiens and watched various news reports and videos, Obregon felt the power of Homo sapiens only at this moment.

The medical airship that looks like a mountain in front of him is just ordinary equipment in Homo sapiens.

The medical airship, which can carry a payload of 1.5 tons, uses high-strength and ultra-light materials. There are 2000 rooms inside the airship, 1000 of which are wards.

It has all kinds of advanced medical equipment and 450 professional medical staff, each of whom is an elite doctor of medicine.

Obregón accompanies a patient to an examination room.

"The patient is this little girl?" The female doctor asked in Spanish.

"Yes, I am Obregon, the attending physician of this patient, and I work in the Monterey Public Hospital." Obregon quickly introduced himself.

The female doctor nodded slightly, and quickly observed the little girl's body.

Judging from the skin condition, there are large strips of blisters on the arms and forehead, which are somewhat similar to the symptoms of smallpox infection.

The female doctor's eyes quickly switched to heat-sensing mode, and checked the patient's body surface temperature, which was 38.2 to 38.4 degrees Celsius.

Immediately afterwards, she adjusted to the magnetic field sight mode to observe the magnetic field state of the patient's body.

"As expected, the stress response of the body's immune system is too intense, and immune conditioning must be carried out immediately." The female doctor did not need to do other examinations to preliminarily judge the patient's condition.

Obregon asked worriedly: "She should be able to be treated, right?"

"Of course, this is just a small problem."

"Small problem?" Obregon didn't know how to answer. For a small hospital like theirs, the severity of this allergic inflammation problem can vary.

The problem is that after the BT factor stimulates the body's immune system, if the patient's body itself is relatively weak, it is easy to be taken away by complications.

In this allergic event, there were more complications, namely: skin erythema, chicken pox, dyspnea, high fever and body aches.

Among the complications that are most likely to cause death in patients are high fever and difficulty breathing, while chickenpox can easily cause disfigurement.

Faced with this situation, antibiotics and hormones are useless. On the contrary, cooling patches and drugs to reduce inflammatory factors have some effects, and the rest can only be resisted by the body.

Of course, the reason for the death cases is that the local medical conditions are too poor, and the patients have other underlying diseases, such as congenital heart disease, asthma, etc. In this case, it is basically a dead end.

The little girl in front of me has mild asthma.

Obregón explained some basic illnesses of the little girl, hoping to help her.

The female doctor picked up the little girl and placed her on the bed of the terahertz scanner, then turned her head and shouted, "Lin Yang, scan it."

"Received." The male doctor pressed the switch.
