After seeing this report, everyone was shocked! They didn't expect such a magical change to occur in Researcher Wang's body! This is simply a miracle! "This... is this true?" Academician Wu asked excitedly, "Have we found a way to solve the problem of alien fungi?" There was a hint of disbelief and ecstasy in his tone! As if they had seen the dawn of victory! "It's not certain yet!" Professor Lu Xuanxin analyzed calmly, "Although this report gives a possibility, we still need further verification to confirm its authenticity! After all, this change is unprecedented! We can't easily draw conclusions!" When she said this, she paused and continued: "However, from the current situation, the alien fungi in Researcher Wang's body have indeed been effectively controlled and transformed! This is undoubtedly good news! What we have to do next is to closely observe the situation of the experimental subject and conduct more in-depth research and exploration! Strive to find the final solution to the problem of alien fungi as soon as possible!"

"Symbiosis!" Academician Wu uttered the word slowly, his deep eyes full of amazement. He, a scholar who has worked in the field of biology for many years and has made great achievements, is still moved by the miracle of life. He stared at the scene in front of him, as if he was appreciating a painting of life, and those subtle and complex life activities were displayed one by one in front of him. No matter where life is, it can always find the most suitable way to survive. This tenacity and wisdom made him deeply admire.

He had seen countless mysterious life forms of various shapes and sizes, but compared to this fungus, those creatures that had amazed him seemed to pale in comparison. The vitality and adaptability of this fungus far exceeded his expectations, as if it was a powerful force from an unknown world, which made him feel awed.

Academician Wu's eyes flashed with a gleam of thought. He speculated that this might be due to the shaping of the environment, but more likely it was the mystery contained in this alien fungus itself. He has been immersed in the ocean of biology for many years and knows that there are many species of organisms on Earth and they are amazing. However, what humans really understand and can use is only the tip of the iceberg. This fungus may also be a mysterious existence on alien planets. It was discovered and used by alien scientists, and then it evolved into its current amazing appearance.

Lu Xuanxin, who had been observing silently at the side, couldn't help but interrupt at this moment: "This fungus may choose a more sophisticated way of symbiosis, and it may even become an organ in Researcher Wang's body, composing a harmonious melody of life with him." "That makes sense!" Academician Wu nodded in praise when he heard this.

However, Researcher Wang, who was in the isolation room at the moment, looked worried. He couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Professor Lu, Academician Wu, will this fungus in my body pose a threat to other people?" There was a slight tremor in his voice, and it was obvious that he was full of anxiety.

"No!" Lu Xuanxin shrugged easily, her tone full of confidence and comfort, "We have recently extracted all the fungi in your body and have been observing them closely. After comparison and analysis, we found that the fungi in your body have not undergone any special mutations. Although their biological characteristics have undergone some slight changes, they are currently stable and show no signs of spreading outward. So, you don't have to worry too much."

"Does that mean that this newly formed organ is a normal phenomenon?" Researcher Wang was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly. There was a gleam of doubt in his eyes. As a senior researcher, he had personally participated in the dissection of aliens, but the phenomenon before him made him feel confused.

"This is normal!" Lu Xuanxin replied after pondering for a moment, "This fungus is an alien creature after all. Their life characteristics and behavior patterns may be very different from the creatures we are familiar with. In addition, our physical conditions, the earth's environment, and the special circumstances of humans are not exactly the same as those of aliens, so it is inevitable that fungi will produce some mutations when they coexist with us. At present, these mutations are still within our control, so you don't have to worry too much." She told Researcher Wang calmly, revealing a reassuring power in her tone.

After listening to Lu Xuanxin's explanation, Researcher Wang nodded thoughtfully, and the worry on his face gradually faded. He took a deep breath, as if to expel all the fear and anxiety in his heart with this breath.

"Great! The worst didn't happen!" Lu Xuanxin looked at Researcher Wang's gradually relaxed expression and said with a smile, "We will continue to observe your condition. If it remains stable after ten days, you can leave the isolation room. At that time, you can return to your life and work."

"Thank you, Professor Lu!" Researcher Wang showed a grateful smile on his face. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in his voice.

"Okay, everyone is tired after a night's work, let's go back and rest! Xiaozhi, you will be responsible for the follow-up observation work of this laboratory!" After saying that, Lu Xuanxin turned around and left the laboratory. Although her steps were a little tired, her back was firm and calm.

However, as soon as Lu Xuanxin walked out of the laboratory door, her brows knitted together. In fact, she was just pretending to be calm in front of Researcher Wang. She knew the potential risks brought by the variability and uncertainty of this fungus, so she had to stay alert and calm at all times.

At this time, Academician Wu also walked out of the laboratory. He walked to Lu Xuanxin's side and asked seriously, "Professor Lu, do you think that new organ is really a good mutation? I always feel something is wrong. Changes in biological traits are not necessarily good things. We must be cautious."

Hearing what Academician Wu said, Lu Xuanxin smiled bitterly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." She took a deep breath and continued, "To be honest, we are not sure whether this mutation is good or bad. The only thing that is certain is that this mutation represents that the fungus is trying to adapt to the new environment. But what specific impact it will have, we still need further observation and evaluation." After she finished speaking, a trace of deep worry appeared in her eyes.

Academician Wu's expression became more serious. "So what should we do next?" he asked in a deep voice, revealing a sense of urgency in his tone.

"Recently, we need to pay close attention to Researcher Wang's physical condition and the mutation of the fungus." Lu Xuanxin warned, "If we find any abnormalities, we must take immediate action."

Academician Wu nodded in agreement. He knew the seriousness and urgency of the matter, so he had to remain vigilant and responsible at all times.

"In addition, we must also pay attention to changes in Researcher Wang's temperament." Lu Xuanxin continued after a moment's silence, "and whether he shows abnormal symptoms such as mania or depression. Since this fungus exists in various parts of the body, although it currently appears to be a parasite, its capabilities are far beyond our imagination. I suspect that this newly formed organ may have an impact on his brain function and even temperament."

Academician Wu was shocked when he heard this. He replied seriously, "You mean, the appearance of this new organ may change his personality and behavior pattern?" "It's hard to say at the moment." Lu Xuanxin replied thoughtfully, "After all, whether adding or removing an organ in the human body, it will have different degrees of impact on the human body. This impact may be subtle or significant. We need to continue to observe and be prepared to deal with various situations."

"I understand." Academician Wu nodded, a solemn look on his face. Although Lu Xuanxin's words did not have much scientific basis, her scientific intuition and keen observation were trustworthy. He was well aware of the seriousness and complexity of this matter, so he had to remain highly vigilant and cautious at all times.

"We must keep the information about this fungus strictly confidential," Lu Xuanxin warned. "At present, our understanding of it is very limited. Once it is leaked, it may cause unnecessary panic and confusion. Therefore, we must act with caution."

"Okay, I understand." Academician Wu nodded and said, "I will keep it strictly confidential and pay close attention to Researcher Wang's condition. I will tell you as soon as there is anything."

Afterwards, Lu Xuanxin left the National Laboratory by car. Her heart was filled with worry and uneasiness, but she knew that she had to remain calm and rational in order to deal with various situations that might happen next.

It was already past four in the afternoon when I got home. Lu Xuanxin sat exhausted on the sofa, a deep sigh flashed in her eyes. The current situation was still unknown, which made her feel unspeakably uneasy. If it turns out that this fungus really has an impact on the human body, and even causes great damage, and this fungus is still mutating... then, how should the fungus factory in your province be dealt with?

This problem gave Lu Xuanxin a headache, as if it was an unsolvable problem in front of her. At the same time, she also believed that Academician Wu would report the experimental results to the higher authorities and seek more support and help. However, this could not completely eliminate her inner worries and uneasiness.

Just then, "Master, Zhang Jinhong called!" the smart home system issued a prompt sound.

Lu Xuanxin was slightly stunned, then quickly answered the phone: "Hello, is this Zhang Jinhong?"

"Yes, Professor Lu!" Zhang Jinhong's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. "I heard that your laboratory discovered a new fungus. Will there be any problems? Also, what should we do with the fungus factory in your province? Do we need to take some preventive measures?"

Zhang Jinhong's voice revealed an undisguised urgency, as if every word was trembling with anxiety. After hearing this, Lu Xuanxin just smiled peacefully, and her deep eyes revealed calmness and composure, as if everything was under control.

"Don't worry, Boss Zhang Jinhong." She spoke softly, and her comforting words were like a spring breeze that made people feel relieved unconsciously.

She paused and continued, "Whether this fungus is harmful is still under in-depth research. However, the defense measures of the fungus factory I built are very strict. It is fully automated and does not require personnel to enter, thus avoiding any possible risk of leakage. So, please rest assured that the fungus will not cause harm to the outside world."

Zhang Jinhong frowned slightly, and it was obvious that his worries were not completely eliminated, "But..."

"Very good!" Lu Xuanxin's tone suddenly became serious, and her eyes flashed with determination. "If the fungi continue to mutate and have adverse effects on the human body, I will destroy the fungus factory without hesitation and only keep the alien fungus samples in the laboratory. What do you think of this treatment?"

Zhang Jinhong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay!"

A trace of apology appeared on his face. "Sorry to bother you! This is also a helpless move on my part..."

"It's okay, I understand your difficulties." Lu Xuanxin comforted softly, her eyes full of warmth and understanding.

After the call, Lu Xuanxin breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to the window and gazed at the distant skyline, feeling deeply moved. The fungus factory was more than just a research project for her. It carried her desire for immortality and her exploration of the unknown world. However, when science and morality, selfishness and justice conflicted, she had to make a choice.

Although Lu Xuanxin has made outstanding contributions to the country and the people, she also has her own selfish desires. She dreams of being able to go beyond the Milky Way and explore the infinite mysteries of the universe. However, the universe is so vast and boundless, how can this dream come true without enough life? Therefore, she has high hopes for this alien fungus, hoping to find the secret of longevity from it.

She knew that the substance secreted by this fungus contained powerful life energy. Those white crystals attracted her like bright gems. She had a strong premonition: the true value of this fungus might be hidden in these crystals!
