Chapter 38 Speculation on 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!

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

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.

The two of them also learned about the Zerg because they had done a mutation experiment with He Xingzhou before, so they were allowed to participate in the Xuanwu project after He Xingzhou's approval.

However, because of their level, they can only become interns at the Sentinel Research Institute at present.

"Senior!" Jiang Chan shouted excitedly when she saw He Xingzhou. She hadn't seen He Xingzhou for more than two months.

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

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

"That, He... Chief Engineer He." Wu Rui was still a little uncomfortable with He Xingzhou's name. Before, he was called Junior Brother.

But it's obviously not appropriate to call it that now, so it's better to call it the same as everyone else.

"You guys are here." He Xingzhou also greeted them enthusiastically. Without their help before, it would have been difficult for him to carry out his experiments.

"I just arrived today. After many rounds of review, I was scared to death." Jiang Chan seemed 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."

"Mmmm!" Jiang Chan nodded again and again, and said, "I saw the senior's plan, it's too grand, I can't even imagine it!"

"Yeah." Wu Rui also sighed, "If I hadn't personally participated in this matter, I would never have believed that we were participating in such a great plan!"

He Xingzhou said: "We have just started, and we can't talk about greatness. In short, you have to be mentally prepared. The tasks in the future 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 heart. Who knows that the world will end in a few decades, and who can not worry about it?

They chatted briefly and then went to work separately.

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

Academician Pan Yan, who is in his 70s, 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 sighed when he saw her exhausted expression.

"It's all for the sake of us Chinese people. It's the same for everyone!" Pan Yan didn't care about it, she said, "He, Chief Engineer, I have already brought back 147 mutant biological experiments from all over the world. ."

"There are so many species of them, both vertebrates and invertebrates."

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

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

The strength of the glass material used is all special glass that can resist bullets and explosions, and it also has methods such as current paralysis, safety control, and drug paralysis.

In the base, there are real guns and live ammunition stationed by the army 24 hours a day to ensure that there will be no biological safety accidents.

He Xingzhou glanced at it. In the mutant organism cultivation room in the underground research space, the cultivation tank was full of various mutants.

There are fish with hands and feet, giant shellfish, mollusks with sharp teeth and sharp claws, and more.

At present, their degree of mutation is not high, and even if they are discovered, it is estimated that they are only deformed creatures.

"Some of the water in the tank is water with nuclear radiation, some is biological culture solution containing nutrients, some is ordinary seawater, and even fresh water and anhydrous environments." Pan Yan said, "Comparing multiple sets of experimental conditions, we initially obtained draw a conclusion."

"The environmental adaptability of mutant organisms is very strong! Moreover, the expression of the Zerg genes in their bodies, that is, the so-called mutation mode is different!"

"Some deep-sea species, due to the water pressure, logically die when they leave the deep-sea due to the unbalanced pressure inside and outside the body! But the deep-sea species inside can actually adjust the body pressure balance and adapt to life on the surface!"

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

The more Pan Yan said, the more frightened, "It's terrible, they can adapt to a variety of 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 doesn't just refer to a gene, but a huge gene pool!"

"Innumerable information is recorded in it. When the environment changes, corresponding genes will be expressed!"

"How can a species have so many gene expressions? This is against common sense!" Pan Yan wondered.

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

"Isn't there a technology called biochips in the biological world?" He Xingzhou said, "If each mutant organism has a biochip inside it, it's like the core of a biological computer."

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

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

The most important thing is that, in theory, biochips can store information molecules that are far higher than existing silicon-based chips!

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

If these mutant organisms really have biochips, it can only show one problem!

The so-called Zerg is a high-level 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 the Zerg's biological chips and decipher them, we can understand them to the greatest extent and can deal with them!" He Xingzhou said.

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

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

Thank you for your endless past rewards.
