During the two days that Zhang Heng left China for the United States, the DX-1118 virus also entered the human trial stage.
At this time, Thompson was looking obsessively at a specimen storage tank standing on the ground. The tank, which was as thick as a person, revealed a light yellow formalin solution. Inside the tank, there was a relatively thick forelimb and a hind limb. Short monster specimen.
When you look closer, you realize that this well-preserved specimen is actually a very fierce-looking chimpanzee.
However, this is by no means an ordinary chimpanzee. Its size has expanded from about fifty kilograms to one hundred kilograms. The muscles all over the body are so developed that it seems to burst the skin. The fangs on its mouth are baring crazily, and its face is... It was so ferocious that even though it was already dead, people seemed to be able to feel the faint coercion exuded by this beast.
Even tigers and lions are as indistinguishable as kittens and puppies in front of it.
Outside the tank, there is a label with the Stellar Technology logo: Experimental Subject No. 034, species: chimpanzee, infection characteristics: aggressive, increased IQ, improved learning ability, significantly enhanced regeneration ability, and significantly enhanced strength.
Among all primates, chimpanzees have the smallest difference with humans. Scientists once conducted experiments. They listed the genes of humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons together to see how similar the genes of these species are. Among them, chimpanzees are the closest relatives to humans, even more so than they are to gorillas.
This genetic relationship is closer than people thought before. Among the unimportant gene loci, humans and chimpanzees are 98.4% similar, while among those important gene loci, humans and chimpanzees are similar. The degree is as high as 99.4%.
The behavioral characteristics of chimpanzees are very similar to humans. They can make tools, have reasoning ability, self-awareness, and are aware of the existence of other consciousnesses. After training, they can recognize numbers from 0 to 9 and arrange them from small to large. , can also use hundreds of word symbols, understand thousands of English words, feel sad for the death of relatives, etc...
It can be said that after training, chimpanzees can have the IQ and thinking ability of four or five-year-old children, which is almost not much different from humans.
Therefore, among all the creatures on earth, chimpanzees are the best animal to replace human experiments.
Previously, the research team composed of Thompson and others used chimpanzees as the test subjects of the thirty-fourth experiment, and injected them with high concentrations of DX-1118 virus. The results were also very gratifying. The infected chimpanzees have almost mutated into a new creature! Just like the prototype Alex, the experimental subject possesses incredible physical strength and shows a learning ability that is not inferior to humans!
To put it simply, its intelligence and combat effectiveness have been greatly enhanced!
After obtaining enough data, everyone destroyed the experimental subject. After everyone's autopsy analysis, they found that the genetic sequence in the chimpanzee had been completely changed! In other words, the DX-1118 virus has occupied the body of the chimpanzee like a dove occupying a magpie's nest. The monster in front of us is no longer the ordinary earth species before, but a new type of life composed of viruses!
"This is simply a gift from God." Feng Lun also walked up to Thompson and sighed as he looked at the specimen storage tank in front of him. "This virus is more powerful than the previous T virus. If it can be used by humans, everyone in the human race will be able to use it." Can become superman!"
"But if you really do this, then you are no longer you." Kong Zhongcai also walked over and sneered, "If you are only infected with a small amount of virus, it will not be able to provide enough energy for the infected person, and it will only lead to infection The patient's genetic sequence collapses due to lack of energy and destroys the infected person's thinking, turning the infected person into a zombie that only knows how to absorb energy and bites living creatures. "
"But if a sufficient concentration of the virus is injected into the infected person, it can promote the accelerated mutation of the infected person's genes. Even the most complex brain organs will be reorganized by the virus, thus giving birth to a new personality. But this new personality, But it’s not you anymore.”
"We can find ways to avoid the reorganization of the brain by viruses." Feng Lun said immediately, "As long as you find a method that can change the brain without affecting human thinking and consciousness, then you don't have to worry. "
"Based on the attack characteristics of the DX-1118 virus, do you want it to prevent it from attacking brain cells? Don't even think about it, unless you create a virus yourself." Kong Zhongcai mocked.
"You two, stop arguing." Thompson rubbed his forehead with a headache. Although the two were arguing in Chinese and he didn't understand it very well, he could understand that they had differences of opinion just by listening to their voices. He, had no choice but to reach out his hand to persuade and said, "Boys, Experimental Subject No. 35 will be here soon. This is a formal human experiment. If you have any questions, please wait until the experiment is completed before we discuss it, okay?"
"Okay." The two of them nodded, glared at each other, and turned away with a cold snort.
Seeing that the two people did not continue to argue in his ears this time, Thompson was relieved. He used the watch on his hand to contact the outside world. Soon, a man was tied to a mobile stretcher and kept struggling and yelling. The white man was pushed into the laboratory.
This man was as strong as a black bear. Although his hair had been shaved off, his hair color could still be seen in the golden body hair. However, it seemed that he had been imprisoned for a long time, and his face looked extremely haggard.
An assistant handed a document to Thompson, who flipped through it and then walked up to the yelling man and said calmly, "Sergeant Bernie Clyde?"
"What do you want to do to me? I demand human rights and preferential treatment due to prisoners! My country will redeem me!" The man known as Bernie seemed to be aware of his situation and shouted uneasily. road.
Thompson ignored the other party and just said to the information in his hand, "Sergeant Bernie Clyde, born in Washington, USA in 1978, joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1995, participated in the Kosovo War in 1999, killed 8 enemies, and then Due to his outstanding performance, he joined the Navy SEALs and was selected as a member of the CIA's SOG secret force in 2002. He was captured on June 7, 2018. "
"Damn it, stop reading it. I've been detained for two whole months, two damn months!" Bernie continued to struggle, but his hands and feet were stuck in the iron rings. There were not many tons of them. The pulling force cannot break free from this iron ring made of manganese steel.
Thompson then observed Bernie, finally nodded, and then looked at Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai, "The experimental target's spirit is a bit manic, but the physical data shows that he is healthy. I think this experimental subject can be used for the third experiment." Fifteen experiments, what do you think?”
"Second." Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai nodded.
Thompson then turned his head and said to the two assistants pushing the mobile stretcher, "Push him into the isolation room and prepare for everything."
