After that, Zhang Heng closed the B7-2 biological laboratory again. Liquid nitrogen was continuously injected into the laboratory to maintain ultra-low temperature to ensure that the Alien Queen would not thaw and wake up.
Zhang Heng and Yue Hua activated Laboratory B7-3 and used hundreds of engineering clones to start transforming Laboratory 3 into a biological laboratory dedicated to holding aliens.
Three days later, the renovation of Laboratory B7-3 was completed. The three workrooms of the laboratory were opened up, and a biological isolation room specifically used to hold the Alien Queen was welded on one side of the wall.
The isolation room still uses polymer tempered glass as the wall and observation window, but the number of layers has been increased again. In the end, without affecting the line of sight, the observation window was thickened to three meters, just like a copper wall!
In the isolation room, there was a cage-like device, composed of many hydraulic mechanical arms and mechanical springs. The frozen queen was transported over and then locked in these iron tongs and shackles.
The entire cage is made of tungsten, which is said to have the flexibility of titanium alloy and the hardness of sapphire at the same time. It is one of the hardest alloys that humans can find today.
The Mohs hardness of tungsten is between 8-9M, which is close to the 10M of natural diamond. It is 5 times that of stainless steel and 4 times that of titanium alloy. It will hardly wear!
After special processing, tungsten has extremely strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The room temperature tensile strength is between 1100 and 1200MPa, which can reach the strength of high-strength titanium alloy.
This is also the best material Zhang Heng could find. In order to be more safe, Zhang Heng also coated the tungsten gold with a layer of high-density anti-corrosion paint. Under the double insurance, the Alien Queen will not even think about it no matter how defiant it is. Escape easily.
After waiting eagerly for three days, Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai once again received the order to enter the B7 floor. They ran to the B7 floor almost non-stop. Faced with an alien that had never been seen before and even subverted biology. Bizarre creatures, both biologists have unparalleled fanaticism.
"Laboratory B7-3?" Kong Zhongcai looked at the information from Yuehua. Laboratory B7-3 was diagonally opposite to No. 2 where they worked before. There were four laboratories in the entire B7 floor, which was very easy to find.
The two of them came to the door of Laboratory No. 3 with anticipation, each entered their identity information, and watched the door of the laboratory open. Then they were surprised to find that there was no need to disinfect when entering the laboratory.
"Indeed, there are biological isolation rooms, and we are not studying organisms such as viruses. As long as they are not in the same room, there is indeed no need for disinfection and isolation." Feng Lun said.
The two entered the door and saw that the laboratory was much wider, with a hall-like area, bright light, and windows on the wall—the windows were a kind of decoration, and they also contained virtual 3D projections. Technology, looking out through the window glass, you can also see the high-rise buildings outside the window. The sun is shining brightly, as if you are really in a skyscraper.
Seven or eight experimenters were writing and drawing outside the observation window, recording something, but none of these could attract the attention of the two of them. They all immediately looked at the huge observation window formed by the entire wall. Inside the observation window, there was a person. The giant alien queen is almost suspended in mid-air with only her limbs and neck locked!
This alien queen is thirteen meters long, and its tail alone is only seven meters long. The alien's unique joint-shaped tail exudes explosive power, but the tip of the tail is also locked, making it impossible to swing it.
The queen's huge body was constantly struggling in mid-air. Through the sound equipment, everyone could clearly hear the deafening roar of dissatisfaction from this big guy.
"Great, this way you won't be afraid of being attacked even if you enter the isolation room!" Feng Lun clapped his hands excitedly when he saw this scene, "I've wanted to touch this big guy for a long time!"
Zhang Heng had just entered the laboratory at this time, and couldn't help but curl his lips after hearing Feng Lun's words. It is estimated that only scientists like them can show the expression of a child after seeing an alien after seeing an alien.
"I advise you two not to do this." Zhang Heng said helplessly, "I'm not sure whether this device can lock it. Many data show that aliens have very high intelligence after evolving into queens. They even There will also be traps, it would be bad if this is a trap.”
"It's okay! If tungsten and gold can't lock it, nothing in this world can trap it." Feng Lun waved his hand and glanced at Zhang Heng unhappily.
Facing Feng Lun's strong words, Zhang Heng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and was speechless.
"What is our next experimental goal? Do you have a plan?" Kong Zhongcai saw that Zhang Heng was a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said, "This creature is full of treasures, and we will definitely find a way to study it thoroughly. "
"The next step is to find a way to make it produce an ovipositor." Zhang Heng then became serious and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, Yuehua's figure suddenly appeared on a screen hanging on the wall of the laboratory.
"Yes, the alien is a parthenogenetic oviparous creature that can reproduce the next generation without mating, but only the queen has the authority to reproduce the next generation."
Everyone looked solemn and turned to look at the screen. As long as they reached the foundation's B4 security level, they would know Yuehua's existence. Of course, they only know that Yuehua is an intelligent life that can travel through the Internet, but they don't know that Yuehua's real ability is to control the human brain!
Yuehua may be a little slow emotionally, but in terms of logic and knowledge, he is at the encyclopedia level. Even Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai, two internationally renowned scientists, dare not say that there is a problem with Yuehua's logic.
"The alien is a completely metamorphosed creature. It first goes through four stages: egg, facehugger, parasitic embryo, and adult. The queen is the fifth stage, also called the evolutionary stage or the atavistic stage, and is generally not included in it. " Yuehua said on the screen.
"But if the queen wants to reproduce, she must grow a tissue called the 'ovipositor' in her abdomen. This tissue is not a chitin exoskeleton structure like the body, but a pure muscle and fat This tissue is connected to the queen's abdomen, and can even expand to seven or eight meters in diameter during the egg-laying period. Just like a termite queen, the ovipositor can even exceed its body. "
"However, if you want the queen to enter the egg-laying stage, the first thing is not to disturb the queen. Because this ovipositor is an external tissue, at a life-threatening moment, the queen can choose to break away from the ovipositor, escape or Fight. Once freed, the Queen will become the deadliest killer in the entire nest!"
Yuehua concluded, "So, our next plan is to let the queen take the initiative to give birth to an ovipositor, and then we can start to decipher the mystery of the alien from the most basic structure of the alien egg."
Feng Lun originally wanted to argue, but Zhang Heng responded to his suggestion without hesitation. In the end, Feng Lun had to sigh and give up his desire to touch the queen up close for the time being.
But in the next three days, everyone tried many methods, but they couldn't make the queen show any signs of laying eggs. Not only that, after it was suspended in the air and locked, it stopped eating. Even if the clone maintaining the alien isolation room used an upside-down mechanical arm to bring food to the queen's mouth, the queen just turned her head away proudly. Or he would attack the robot arm directly in a rage, but would not eat the food.
This miserable alien queen went on a hunger strike...
Zhang Heng's expression was very strange, and Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai were even more strange. This alien queen actually knew how to go on a hunger strike
After five or six days of hunger strike, the two finally became anxious and began to stir the meat into a paste and forcefully poured it into the Queen's mouth. This method really worked, but after two or three days of forcing it, the Alien Queen's My stomach swelled.
A week later, a pale yellow sarcoma began to grow on the alien's abdomen. Over the next few days, the sarcoma became more and more swollen and longer, like a termite's abdomen...
Maybe this is a sign that the Alien Queen is pregnant.
