Smock''s press conference caused a sensation all over the world. Countless scientists, people and media flocked to the lighthouse country to know more about the secrets of "evolutionary blood".
Even China is debating this news all over the country, and countless people are curious and amazed.
"They are too arrogant! Break the limit of life. I heard that human beings can live a thousand years in the future!"
"Don''t think about it. Only the rich can afford it!"
"What''s the matter these years? How do you feel that biotechnology has suddenly exploded?"
"When can we develop this technology? The lighthouse country will monopolize a top technology again!"
……
The attention of officials, science and technology and the media of various countries has focused on smock and his evolutionary blood, and new news is exposed every day.
The history of the young colonel Yap has also been excavated. His great grandson also staged a touching family reunion with him on the TV program. Although Colonel Yap didn''t say a word during the whole process, he just sat there blankly.
Du Xingyu also sent a private letter to smock asking about some things, but he didn''t reply.
In public activities, the lighthouse country has made more and more big moves.
For example, they announced that they would recruit volunteers in the army and use evolutionary blood to strengthen soldiers.
Vigorously support the development of biotechnology, more frequent activities in the Pacific region and so on
What puzzled Du Xingyu most was that they announced that they were considering sharing their research results with the world for the benefit of all mankind!
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" not only Du Xingyu, Su Yutang and Fang Jin realized it.
"As far as their urination is concerned, it''s good that they don''t care about others and bless all mankind... What''s going on behind this?" Fang Jin wondered.
"Recently, some of my friends in the world have lost contact and are said to be conducting secret research work," Su Yutang said.
Du Xingyu pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "it seems that they must have mastered a big secret, and the matter is still very urgent."
"Teacher, Dean." Du Xingyu asked, "if we study the blood of evolution, which can prolong people''s life and change human genes, what will we do at the first time?"
"Of course, it''s classified as a state secret!" Su Yutang said. "This kind of thing can''t be published easily!"
Du Xingyu nodded and analyzed: "if it is published, it must be the time to publish it. Now they have begun to use it for soldiers, indicating that a war may start."
"War? Impossible?" Fang Jin disagreed. "Now is the era of nuclear weapons. If war starts, it will be a world war. There is no major event. Will they be so crazy?"
"I didn''t say the enemy was us..." Du Xingyu had no evidence and didn''t say much.
They were puzzled, but they didn''t continue to ask.
"By the way, the samples you want have been sent." Fang Jin said, "now we are sending them to your laboratory."
"OK, I''ll go right away!" Du Xingyu immediately stood up and said.
He can''t get samples of evolutionary blood now, but Du Xingyu asked for some seawater samples.
According to satellite observation, they found that a fleet has been moving frequently somewhere in the Pacific recently, and it seems that it has also tested some military weapons for large-scale attack.
After Du Xingyu learned that there must be an abnormal discovery there, he asked the Academy of military sciences to help get some seawater samples there for analysis.
Although the place is blocked by the lighthouse country, it is easy to collect some sea water samples with small ocean detection torpedoes.
So these seawater samples were sent to Du Xingyu''s laboratory.
He immediately began to analyze the composition of the sea water.
"Radioactive elements are very high." this is the first information Du Xingyu got. The radioactive elements carried in these seawater prove that missiles have indeed detonated nearby, and may still be nuclear bombs!
Then, Du Xingyu used the information collection function of the science and technology simulator to detect the information of these seawater samples.
"Discovery of risk factors." the science and technology simulator found, "there are unknown RNA viruses in the information database in seawater samples."
Through the genome project, Du Xingyu has entered the genetic information of most organisms on the earth.
The discovery of the technology simulator alerted him immediately.
Du Xingyu immediately detected the RNA virus in the sample. Under the electron microscope, its surface was a protein shell full of "contacts", which contained RNA genetic information.
Just looking at these, we can''t know its specific role.
There are many kinds of viruses on earth. It is normal to encounter unknown viruses. But Du Xingyu suspects that these RNA viruses may not come from the earth.
He must find out its specific role.
Therefore, Du Xingyu experimented with mice, infected them with this RNA virus, and told laboratory members that this virus may be very dangerous. No one is allowed to approach and touch it. The safety protection of the laboratory should take the highest level measures.
Every day, Du Xingyu is observing the changes of mice.
For the first day or two, the mouse did everything as usual. On the third day, the mice began to become active. Taking its blood samples for examination, we found that its cell activity began to grow and seemed to become healthier!
"Teacher, is this virus still good for it?" Lei Hua said in surprise. "The minimally invasive wound that just drew blood for it will soon recover!"
"Continue to observe." Du Xingyu did not rush to a conclusion.
On the fifth day, the mice began to change further. Its appetite began to increase, its temperament became more irritable and began to attack other species.
Du Xingyu has realized that it is wrong. After taking blood from the mice again, he found that the genes of the mice have changed.
"This virus can change its genetic information!"
Ordinary viruses can only infect organisms with diseases. But this special virus has directly changed the genetic information of the host, making the host "gene mutation" in an unknown direction!
On the seventh day, Du Xingyu was sure that this RNA virus was very dangerous.
Because the size of the mouse in the culture room has exceeded twice that of the original species. It is about to catch up with the size of a cat!
"The laboratory temperament is more tyrannical! The amount of food doubled, the genetic information mutated again, and began to bite other companions!"
"After infection with this RNA virus, the host gene becomes very easy to mutate. It seems that it can also absorb other protein gene information, including the food fed to mice..."
Du Xingyu detected the gene fragment of the chicken fed to the mouse in the genetic information of the mouse.
Up to now, Du Xingyu''s discovery has alerted scientists of the Academy of Sciences.
"What kind of virus is this? Why does it exist in the sea?" Su Yutang said cautiously. "If its infectivity is really so strong, aren''t there many such viruses and mutant organisms in that sea area?"
"What did the Americans do there?" the leaders of the Academy of military sciences were also alarmed and ran to Du Xingyu''s laboratory to watch.
"Can we judge its characteristics now?" asked Zeng Yi, an important member of the Academy of Military Sciences.
"Not yet." Du Xingyu shook his head, "but I''m sure this is not the most terrible effect of the virus. This mouse is still undergoing gene mutation. I don''t know what it will look like in the end."
"But it can absorb the genetic information of other organisms. This ability is terrible! If it is allowed to develop, any strange, deformed and terrible creatures may appear!"
"The situation is so serious?" the people present were surprised.
"It''s more serious than you think!" Du Xingyu warned. "You can find it in the sampled seawater, which shows that the virus has spread with the ocean current!"
"And what I''m most worried about is that it''s not just the ocean current, if it can spread in the air... So..."
The people changed their faces. Zeng Yi said, "I''ll send someone to take samples immediately to test the air information there."
Another person asked, "Professor Du, can we prevent and resist this virus? Will it infect humans?"
"100% will infect humans," Du Xingyu said definitely. "Although I haven''t done experiments, according to the current research information, it''s easy to infect mammals. Our immune system can''t deal with it."
"As for prevention and resistance?" Du Xingyu still shook his head. "From our human point of view, it is an intruder and a virus. But for our body, this change will make our become more ''robust'' and adapt to nature."
"Our body will not resist it, but will actively cater to it! The existing drugs are useless to it, just as we can''t treat cancer. It''s just that it doesn''t necessarily have a positive impact. I lack more research samples!"
"Now I doubt very much that Professor smock''s so-called evolutionary blood comes from this virus. I also doubt its real role!"
"It seems that the danger is beyond our expectation," Zeng Yi said. "Don''t worry, Professor Du. We will get more samples as soon as possible. And contact North America to let them disclose more information."
"Well, you''d better hurry up," said Du Xingyu.
……
Du Xingyu is not alarmist. In the third week of the mouse experiment, the mice have changed beyond recognition.
It has become a creature the size of a dog, covered with long hair, its claws and teeth have become harder, and its combat effectiveness is very strong. Du Xingyu estimated that even if a hound is put in, it will be torn to pieces!
The air samples from the target sea area were also taken back. The information brought this time made Du Xingyu feel that the situation was more difficult to control.
Not only RNA viruses, spores of unknown plants have been detected in the air. In its gene fragments, there are gene fragments similar to this virus, which can make it swallow the genes of other species for rapid mutation!
