It's been so long, so the research on the mutated deathclaw and leadization should be over, right
"Of course, who do you think I am?" Lin Ling sighed, with a look on her lips,
"Follow me." Xiang Jiang Chen hooked her fingers, Lin Ling tossed her silver-white hair and walked towards the culture tank at the back.
A naked monster with flesh and blood turning red is hanging in the culture tank. The dark green liquid is rolling upwards with bubbles from time to time. It looks like the masterpiece of a certain Frankenstein in the American comics. However, Jiang Chen's focus was not on these, but on looking at the lower parts.
Sure enough, as rumored, there is no little penis.
Lin Ling stretched out her jade finger and tapped on the touch pad on the side of the culture tank. Several light orange fluorescent lights intertwined into a holographic screen in front of the two of them. Jiang Chen was confused by the various parameters listed on the screen.
Lin Ling, who was standing by, secretly glanced at him with disdain, and proudly and unbridledly laughed at him for being "ignorant" in her heart, and then she spoke with her little head held high.
"Muscle strength or strength index is 63, bone strength is 47, reflex nerves are 20, and brain cell activity is 9. Well, for humans, this is basically the limit of the physical body without overdrawing one's own potential."
"Hmm... But speaking of it, can these guys still be considered human beings?" Lin Ling said to herself while holding her chin.
Jiang Chen glanced sideways at Lin Ling. Speaking of which, this little girl couldn't be considered a human being.
"While the somatic cells are transformed by the FEV virus, heavy metals are implanted into the outer epidermal tissue... The leaded epidermis on its surface is comparable to C-shaped steel, and it is natural to defend against ordinary bullets. And the cell regeneration ability is simply Abnormal, according to the information recorded in the DNA data, even if an arm is lost, it can grow back within a week. Although I have never fought in a war, this kind of thing should be invincible on the battlefield, right?" Lin Ling, a pacifist, couldn't help but complain about its combat effectiveness.
"Doesn't he have any weaknesses?" Jiang Chen asked with a bitter smile.
"Of course." Lin Ling nodded, "First of all, due to the influence of heavy metals, their nervous system is extremely weakened. The activity of brain cells is as low as 9. In addition, their lifespan is very short. According to DNA telomeres and metabolic rate It is estimated that their lifespan is only more than 30 years. At the same time, if their head or heart is directly destroyed, they will die immediately."
It's the same as not saying it. Which creature can survive without a brain and a heart
Jiang Chen sighed.
It seems that there is no shortcut in this matter. When the time comes, this dangerous thing will be left to the "hunting tiger" to deal with. With the pure kinetic energy lethality of the electromagnetic gun, let alone penetrate it. I'm afraid it won't be a problem if the whole thing is blown to pieces.
"By the way, can I ask a question?" Lin Ling suddenly said.
"Huh? Just ask."
"I was shocked when I first got the sample. How on earth did you kill all the cells in this mutant's body?" Lin Ling looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression, confused.
Of course it was because of time travel, but he didn't plan to tell her just yet.
Jiang Chen subtly moved his eyes away and spoke vaguely.
"In short, a special weapon was used to interrupt his life activities in an instant. Speaking of which, what is the state of those cells under the microscope?"
"The rupture of the cell membrane can be inferred based on its rupture pattern. It seems that the cell fluid freezes due to ultra-low temperature? In short, it is very strange... It is like traveling through a place where the entropy value is infinitely close to 0 without any preparation. Same." Lin Ling stared into Jiang Chen's eyes and said suspiciously.
Ultra-low temperature? But there was no temperature change when traveling through it.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, not noticing Lin Ling's suspicious gaze.
Seeing Jiang Chen didn't respond, Lin Ling continued.
"Traveling through a field where the entropy value is infinitely close to 0 may not matter to dead objects, but it is almost impossible for living creatures. However, as a shortcut to interstellar navigation, traveling through wormholes is an unavoidable subject. . Regarding how to make living creatures pass through wormholes, there have been many different conjectures in the physics community. Among them, Dr. Crane’s conjecture is the most authoritative.”
"Klein?" Jiang Chen always felt that he had heard this name somewhere.
"That's right. In simple terms, the theory is to make matter and energy pass through the wormhole through two completely parallel channels." As she spoke, Lin Ling picked up a water-based pen and drew a cylinder on the whiteboard, and then drew There are two parallel lines and one goes inside the cylinder. The other one passes outside the cylinder.
"As long as the energy is sent to the exit of the wormhole through the passage of another dimension at the entrance of the wormhole, it will be merged with the matter passing through the wormhole. In this way, the entropy reduction link in the wormhole can be avoided."
"Take the energy away? Wouldn't the creature die at that moment?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
"So, this is the genius of Dr. Crane." Lin Ling sighed, marked t1 and t2 on both ends of the whiteboard, and assigned them a value of 0.
"Time. Research has shown that all physical concepts such as space and time in a wormhole are chaotic. To put it in layman's terms, you can go around a few turns on the spot before heading to the exit, or you can also go to the entrance of the wormhole at the moment you step into it. You will reach the exit. As long as you find the 'perfect path', you can completely reduce the time it takes to pass through the wormhole to 0."
"To give a vivid example, a door frame is placed in front of you. You hold a ball in your hand, which symbolizes your temperature. According to the rules, the ball will be snatched away by me when it passes through the door, so you are stepping across the door. Throw the ball up the moment it passes the goal, and the ball goes over the goal frame from above. After passing the goal, you catch the ball back and pass smoothly."
"That's it." Jiang Chen nodded as if he understood.
"So, how did you get through that door?"
"I don't know, the bracelet..." Suddenly, Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling warily and narrowed his eyes.
"You're trying to trick me."
"The idiot said it himself." Lin Ling raised her lips proudly and complained nonchalantly.
"You're playing with fire."
As if feeling the chill in Jiang Chen's tone, Lin Ling shrank her neck in fear, her previous air of dignity gone, "I, I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else. And, besides, last time you suddenly When you emerged from the tent, I vaguely guessed it... after seeing so much food in the base. You must be an alien, right?"
alien
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"You, why are you laughing?" Lin Ling mustered up her courage and protested in a low voice.
"Ahem. It's nothing. Since you've already guessed it, I'll tell you directly." Jiang Chen smiled, "I am a time traveler. Do you understand a time traveler? From the past of 2015."
Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, then wrinkled the beautiful pair.
"Time traveler? From the past?"
"You said that all physical concepts are not applicable in the wormhole. If you can even ignore the space axis, then the timeline is not a big deal, right?" Jiang Chen spread his hands.
"Theoretically, this is correct. Although three of the six colonial ships have passed through the wormhole, only they know what it is like to pass through the wormhole." Lin Ling pinched her chin and nodded. Ran Ran looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, "I really can't tell. I didn't expect the stingy big devil to tell me such a secret."
"What can I do if I tell you?" Jiang Chen looked at those red and black eyes with a smile, "I don't plan to let you go in this life."
Hearing this, Lin Ling's face suddenly turned red. It was rare that he did not continue to speak harshly, but looked to the side.
Jiang Chen didn't realize the ambiguity in his words, and looked at the "forced submission" expression on this girl's face with satisfaction.
"By the way, what about the Deathclaw? Have the research results come out?"
Mentioning the death claw, Lin Ling's face showed a rare look of solemnity.
"I found some on that Deathclaw, I found something strange."
... ...
After leaving, thinking about what she had just said, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
As we all know, the design starting point of type X1 bacteria is to purify radiation, but it is only because it itself undergoes uncontrollable mutations in the radiation environment. That's why it turned into a frightening zombie bacteria.
However, the "design concept" of x2 bacteria is somewhat ambiguous.
As an improved version of the x1-type bacteria, x2's ability to purify radiation has been enhanced to a certain extent. However, what is intriguing is that the effect of corroding the biological nervous system has not been removed, but has been strengthened to a certain extent. At the same time, the cell structure is strengthened. making it more difficult for the immune system to clear.
As if to eliminate humans along with radiation.
Fortunately, because the cell DNA structure is too stable, it cannot reproduce through binary fission like the x1 type, and can only be produced through the mother body as a "factory". Therefore, after Jiang Chen eliminated the sources of diffusion in this area, the type X2 bacteria gradually disappeared.
"Could it be that type X1 bacteria mutated themselves? After all, there is radiation everywhere..."
"Impossible." Lin Ling shook her head at that time and firmly denied Jiang Chen's doubts. "The death claws evolved horny armor and simplified claws with tight molecular chains. All of these are the results of natural selection. In order to To survive, organisms will evolve the ability to adapt to the environment instead of imposing restrictions on their own lives. With cumbersome reproduction methods and functions that are meaningless for survival, it is absolutely impossible for x2 bacteria to be born by self-evolution."
After a pause, Lin Ling continued, "There is only one possibility. Someone artificially created type X2 bacteria. However, what puzzles me is that the information about type X1 bacteria should have been on the colony ship with those researchers. That’s right.”
"Could it be a researcher like you who didn't have time to board the ship?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
"I don't know," Lin Ling shook her head, "but one thing is for sure, the person who researched the x2 type bacteria definitely has no good intentions."
Someone wants to exterminate humanity in the wasteland.
But who could it be
The mutants have enough reasons to do this, but can they handle bacteria that even Death Claws can't handle
But who would have the motivation to do these things if they weren't mutants
At this time, a terrible thought suddenly came to Jiang Chen's mind.
If wormholes can span time, where did the three colony ships go? Have they really abandoned the Earth-like planet altogether
