Chapter 38： Conjecture of Zerg Gene Expression

Chapter 38 Conjecture of Zerg Gene Expression

Sentinel Tower Research Institute, underground space.

After more than a month of basic renovation, the first phase of the underground space has been completed, and the second and third phases are still under construction.

When the construction is completely completed, the underground part will be more than three times larger than the above-ground part of the space!

The entire underground space basically belongs to the biological research team.

When He Xingzhou came here, he happened to meet Jiang Chan and Wu Rui who had just put on biochemical protective suits and came here to report.

Because the two of them had done the black snapper mutation experiment with He Xingzhou before, they also learned about the Zerg, so after He Xingzhou's approval, they were allowed to participate in the Xuanwu Project.

However, because of their level, they can only become interns at the sentry research institute.

"Senior!" Jiang Chan saw He Xingzhou and shouted in excitement. She hadn't seen He Xingzhou for more than two months.

Although wearing biochemical protective clothing, through the transparent mask, He Xingzhou can still see some excited blushes on her pretty face.

From a scientific point of view, she has a special physique and rich facial capillaries, so this happens when she gets emotional.

"Well, He... Chief Engineer He." Wu Rui is still a little uncomfortable with the name He Xingzhou. He used to be called Xiaodi before.

But it is obviously inappropriate to call it this way, so I should call it like everyone else.

"You are here." He Xingzhou also greeted them enthusiastically. Without their help before, it would be difficult to conduct his own experiments.

"I just arrived today, and after many rounds of censorship, I was scared to death." Jiang Chan seems to have a lot to say to He Xingzhou.

He Xingzhou smiled and said, “Because the plan is too special, it is normal to review the participants, so don’t worry too much.”

"Hmm!" Jiang Chan nodded and said, "I saw the senior plan, it is too ambitious, I can't even imagine it!"

"Yes." Wu Rui also said with emotion, "If I hadn't participated in this matter personally, I would never believe that we are participating in such a great project!"

He Xingzhou said: "We have just started, and we can't talk about greatness. In short, you must be mentally prepared. The future tasks are very arduous."

"I will study hard!" Jiang Chan said immediately.

Wu Rui is a little envious of her optimism. He is in a heavy mood. Who knows that the world will usher in the end in decades, who can not worry about it?

They chatted briefly, and then they worked on their own.

He Xingzhou found the head of this research group, an expert from the Modu Institute of Biological Cells, Academician Pan Yan.

Academician Pan Yan, who is in his seventies, has not left here for more than a month since he came to the Post Tower Research Institute.

"Academician Pan has worked hard." He Xingzhou said with emotion when she saw her look tired.

"It's all for our Huaxia people. We talk about hard work, everyone is the same!" Pan Yan didn't care about it, she said: "He, I have brought back 147 mutant biological experiments from all over the world. ."

"There are many kinds of them, including vertebrates and invertebrates."

In the first phase of the research base, various biological cultivation vessels have been established.

These are specially customized and made, and not only have the function of biological cultivation, but also the function of safety protection.

The strength of the glass materials used are all special glass that can resist bullets and explosions. It also has current paralysis, safety control, drug paralysis and other means.

In the base, the army has real guns and live ammunition stationed around the clock to ensure that there will be no biological safety incidents.

He Xingzhou took a look. In the mutant biology cultivation room in the underground research space, the cultivation tank was full of various variants.

There are fish with hands and feet, huge shellfish, mollusks with sharp teeth and claws, and so on.

Currently, their mutation degree is not high, even if they are discovered, it is estimated that they are only regarded as abnormal creatures.

"Some of the water in the tank is water with nuclear radiation, some is a biological culture medium that contains nutrients, some is ordinary seawater, and even fresh water and anhydrous environments." Pan Yan said, "Compared with multiple experimental conditions, we got preliminary results. Come to a conclusion."

"Mutated organisms are very adaptable to the environment! And the way the Zerg genes are expressed in their bodies is different in the so-called mutation mode!"

"Some deep-sea species, because of the water pressure, logically leave the deep sea and die because of the imbalance of internal and external pressure! But the deep-sea species inside can actually adjust the balance of body pressure and adapt to surface life!"

"There are also mutant species. We put it directly under the condition of no sea water. Not only did it not die, but it also grew lung-like organs within a few days!"

Pan Yan became more and more frightened as she spoke, “This is terrible. They can adapt to many environments and make changes in time!”

He Xingzhou frowned slightly and said, "Academician Pan, do you remember what I mentioned in the previous analysis report?"

"I think the Zerg gene is a very broad concept. It does not just refer to a gene, but a huge gene pool!"

"There are countless information recorded in it. When the environment changes, the corresponding genes will be expressed!"

"How can a species express so many genes? This is not in line with common sense!" Pan Yan wondered.

"Academician Pan, I think that when we study, we should not consider the Zerg as a species, but as an alien life." He Xingzhou reminded.

"Doesn't biology have a technology called biochip?" He Xingzhou said, "If there is a biochip in every mutant organism, it is like the core of a biological computer."

"When the external environment changes, the biochip can output the correct gene expression, allowing them to evolve!"

Biochips refer to gene chips, protein chips, polysaccharide chips, and neuron chips. It uses a large number of biological macromolecules to form a dense two-dimensional molecular arrangement. Like computer chips, it can store information.

The most important thing is that, in theory, the information molecules that can be stored by biochips are far higher than those on silicon-based chips!

"Biochip?" Pan Yan didn't guess, but she didn't dare to think about it.

If there are biochips in these mutant organisms, it can only show one problem!

The so-called Zerg is an advanced intelligent race, and it may also come from an alien planet!

Then its threat level will rise directly to infinitely high!

"If we can find Zerg's biochips and crack them, we can understand them to the greatest extent, and we can also deal with them!" He Xingzhou said.

Pan Yan was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed, "It's difficult, it's too difficult!"

"We also want to do the same to observe their biological information more closely, but now there is a mountain in front of us, making us blind and unable to read any information!"

Thank you for the endless past rewards.
