In the blink of an eye, two months passed quietly, and before you knew it, the whole of China had entered the New Year's carnival.
However, no one knew that on the snowy New Year's Eve with lanterns and colorful decorations, a young man with messy hair and sunken eyes was still studying hard.
At this time, the young man was observing the microscope closely.
Under the microscope, a life form with several tentacles, like an octopus, is moving slowly. At this time, it is approaching a life form that is much larger than it. Regularly round, you can clearly see the slowly moving core of the transparent body.
Obviously, that living thing is a cell, and it is a very healthy cell. I saw an eight-clawed octopus-like creature slowly approaching this unsuspecting cell, its claws extending and retracting, very ferocious.
This eight-clawed octopus-like life form is a new type of T virus that was transformed after two months of experiments.
The T virus is an RNA virus and a warm virus. There is only a double circular ribonucleic acid chain inside, and the outside is covered by a protein envelope. As for the eight tentacles, they are its spikes.
Zhang Heng's eyes were fixed on the eight-clawed octopus-like T-virus. He clenched his fists tightly and seemed very nervous, but the T-virus was still moving forward slowly.
Finally, the T virus arrived not far from the cell. As if it had found prey, it began to accelerate. When it came to the cell, its eight tentacles clung to the cell membrane.
"Parasite, parasitize, parasitize me quickly!" Zhang Heng was like a gambler who was about to lose his fortune. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were rounded. His knuckles on the test bench were turning white from the exertion, and he stared intently. Watching the next move of that T virus.
I saw the T virus penetrate the cell membrane bit by bit, first the spike, and then the body. After about five or six minutes, the T virus completely invaded the inside of the cell.
Then, like a bad thief, this T virus carefully disassembles the chromosomes inside the cell and assembles it into a ribonucleic acid chain structure similar to its own. Then it secretly disassembles the protein molecules on the cell membrane and covers them with those processed On the surface of the ribonucleic acid, four or five T-viruses with the same structure were quickly assembled and occupied the magpie's nest.
At this time, the T virus finally turned into a master, changing its previous cautious state and wreaking havoc everywhere in the cells. In just ten minutes, the unlucky cells were riddled with holes and completely disintegrated and died!
"I go!"
Zhang Heng slammed the table and had to admit that he failed again. This was the thirteenth failure in two months. The previous times were fine. The T virus just replaced the central part of the cell's ribonucleic acid with itself. Then the cells are controlled to continuously assemble viruses that are exactly the same as themselves. Although the cells eventually die, they at least allow the cells to survive for several hours.
But this time, the characteristics of the original warm virus directly changed into the unique characteristics of the virulent virus. It only took ten minutes for the T virus to adsorb the cells and lyse the cells!
"Urian, you are such a cheating auxiliary research system. I followed your instructions to fuse the T virus with the H7N9 avian influenza virus, but in the end the resulting virus turned into something like this. Please explain it to me clearly!" Zhang Heng cursed loudly.
"It shouldn't be..." Julian looked cute, biting his finger in grievance, "Yulian gave the plan exactly according to the uncle's wishes, to counteract the infectivity of the virus and reduce the virus's ability to multiply. , so that the human immune system can resist, it shouldn’t be like this... "
"You said that the combination of T virus and bird flu virus can offset the virus's infectivity. I have long thought it was unreliable. Bird flu is a highly contagious virus. How can it be combined with T virus and become infective? beneficial viruses?”
Zhang Heng said bitterly, "Also, no matter how I use formulas to calculate, I can't figure out why the fusion of these two viruses can reduce the virus's ability to multiply. Now, the mild virus has directly turned into a virulent virus, and the infection is The sex is reduced, because once infected, you will die within an hour, so the infectivity is of course reduced! "
Listening to Zhang Heng's reprimand, Julian's eyes became watery, and he looked like he was about to cry, "The calculation power of the Dimension Star is absolutely correct. As for why it became like this... By the way, uncle, why do you have to We need to use mouse cells. Their cells are too fragile. It would be better to just use human cells.”
"Human cells?" Zhang Heng was stunned and shook his head quickly, "You're bluffing. The cells of mice can't bear it. How dare you do experiments on humans? Besides, who dares to do experiments on humans now, you or me?"
Yulian pouted, "Who asked you to test it yourself? You don't know how to use your own cells to test it..."
Zhang Heng pondered for a while and finally nodded again, "Okay, let me trust you again."
Zhang Heng knew that if his knowledge reserves were used to study the T virus, it would take thirty or forty years to study it, let alone improve the virus. The biological knowledge contained in the T virus far exceeds modern science, and the only thing it can rely on is the auxiliary research system provided by Dimension Star.
Since the system prompted him to conduct experiments with human cells, Zhang Heng could only comply with the system's ideas. After all, the other party was also a product of civilization that Ikari Yuantang thought was unfathomable, and he was definitely much better than himself, a half-baked biological researcher.
Zhang Heng cut his finger and used a blood collection card to extract a drop of his own blood and put it in a petri dish. He also took out a little bit of blood and put it under the glass slide for observation. Soon, the demon-like modified T virus visited Zhang Heng's red blood cells again.
As before, the octopus-like virus quickly overcame the cell membrane. However, this time the virus did not wreak havoc inside the cell. Instead, it dismantled the cell's DNA and replaced it with its own body, completely parasitizing the cell. internal!
Zhang Heng held his breath and observed motionlessly. Soon, the cell with modified DNA began to shake rapidly as if it had taken a stimulant. A large amount of nutrients were absorbed into the cell, and soon it split into two identical cells. The DNA of the new cell is also transformed by the T virus!
Parasitism was successful!
Zhang Heng was overjoyed, and he sucked out several other viruses and bacteria from other culture dishes, and dropped them into the culture dish that modified cells. Originally, Zhang Heng thought that facing such an army of bacteria and viruses, that one The modified cells could not last long at all, but these parasitized cells exerted unparalleled fighting power. Those viruses and bacteria could not break through the outer membrane of the cells!
What powerful superhuman cells!
Zhang Heng was overjoyed. The viruses and bacteria he dropped were not small players. There were avian influenza viruses, SARS viruses, tuberculosis viruses, rabies viruses and even HIV! Bacteria include tetanus bacilli, gram-positive cocci, pneumococci, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other powerful bacterial species that are well-known in the bacterial world.
In other words, if all the cells in your body become cells modified by the T virus, you will be completely immune to the diseases caused by all the above viruses and bacteria!
Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Heng to foolishly inject the modified T virus based on just such a small experiment. Any experimental process must be done with caution. Without hundreds of experiments, he would not dare to say that his experiment was successful. At this time , he targeted white blood cells again...
