In the highest-security laboratory, Professor Lu, with his full head of white hair, and three assistants were preparing to conduct a non-contact experiment concerning red worms...
The front of the experimental chamber is covered with a thick layer of aluminum oxynitride, and protective measures are prepared at the bottom of the chamber. In case of any problem, a high temperature of 1700°C will be sprayed into the experimental chamber with the assistance of the oxygen supply turbine at the bottom of the laboratory chamber for preliminary high-temperature disinfection.
Then, a second sterilization process is performed at a high temperature above 3000°C...
"Subject Number One, prepare!"
The assistant nodded and manipulated the robotic arm to place an adorable little white mouse into the laboratory.
As the cage door opened, the white mouse, its whiskers twitching, climbed out of the cage and into the container on the experimental table, its bright eyes observing its surroundings.
"Experimental subject ready..."
"Let's begin, record the data!"
After mentally simulating possible unexpected situations, the assistant adjusted her breathing and composed herself before reaching for a small clump of red thread with tiny mechanical tweezers.
The moment the metal tweezers touched the red thread, the tangled, ball-like thread retracted and became a ball... However, what would trigger trypophobia in people the most was that the fine ends of the red thread would peek out from the ball, looking as if countless tentacles had grown from the ends of the thread.
Thinking about the microscopic structure of the red line, the "eyes" on the countless flagella...
The assistant carefully manipulated the clamp, and after clamping a red thread, pulled it out of the spool.
The entire ball of yarn immediately reacted, with countless red threads extending from it and reaching towards the mechanical clamp, but they returned to calm after making contact with the clamp.
The assistant watched the red thread being pulled out nervously, as if he were pulling a loose thread from underwear, afraid of breaking it.
Finally, a complete red thread was extracted... The assistant looked at Academician Lu.
Academician Lu nodded, signaling to continue the experiment.
The assistant slowly placed the red thread into the container where the white mouse was. As the mechanical clamp released, the red thread floated lightly into the container where the white mouse was.
"Quick! Write it down!"
Meanwhile, behind the aluminum oxynitride metal wall at least 30 cm thick in the laboratory, Lao Li and Lao Feng watched the experiment closely.
They weren't ordinary generals; they were transferred from specialized engineering programs!
The white mouse in the container was unaware of the impending danger and was still exploring the space inside the container.
The once calm red line seemed to sense something, its head slightly raised and swaying in the air, then, like the black water in Prometheus, it wriggled towards the white mouse.
At this moment, everyone in the laboratory fell silent, staring intently at the screen, anticipating what would happen next.
Chapter 51 You've been enhanced!
The red line curves upwards in the center and arches forward at the front, like a spring gradually approaching the mouse.
The mouse immediately noticed the anomaly and turned its head toward the red line as a precaution. The red line, however, ignored the mouse's reaction and continued to relentlessly approach it.
However, the lab mice are mostly laid-back and not at all like the mice outside, which are very aggressive. After observing the red line for a while and confirming that it would not pose a threat to them, the mice returned to their leisurely mode, looking for an exit and trying to escape from the container.
The red thread finally approached the mouse from behind. After touching the mouse a few times, the end of the thread seemed to have determined something and stopped moving.
"Ok?"
Academician Lu frowned. The imagined parasitic entanglement did not occur... Soon, the detector discovered some additional chemical components in the air, and the red thread was secreting a chemical gas with hypnotic effects.
"This is... an anesthetic gas?"
The mouse's whiskers twitched. After smelling the anesthetic gas, it was quickly anesthetized. The red thread approached the mouse and slowly burrowed into its mouth until the entire red thread entered the mouse's body.
Academician Lu, who was observing the situation, nodded: "Observe and see if there are any changes in the experimental subjects!"
This parasitic method is consistent with the behavior of parasites, since most parasites enter the host body through their mouths and eventually enter the circulatory system.
Even ticks cannot burrow into the host's body; they can only suck blood from the surface. Very few ticks can directly tear through the skin and muscle tissue to parasitize the body. The parasitic methods depicted in movies are purely for scaremongering.
After waiting for five minutes, the mouse was still the same. Academician Lu frowned. After the red thread was ingested, the mouse did not undergo the huge change that was as if it had eaten the truth, turning into a big cousin.
“Let’s take a look at it on an X-ray…” Academician Lu said to his assistant.
The assistant nodded, picked up the mouse, placed it in the tray, and performed an X-ray scan.
"The red line is currently located at the spine of the body...it appears to be fusing with the spine..."
The assistant looked at the X-ray image in surprise and said that the red line slowly disappeared in the X-ray scan and completely merged with the white mouse.
However, at the microscopic level unseen by the researchers, the moment the red line was applied to the mouse's spine, the nodules on countless flagella captured the nervous system on the spine and merged with it.
As it connected to the mouse's nervous system, the red thread seemed to activate some information that was already engraved in the RNA, and a special biological enzyme was secreted out.
Just as the Taoist saying goes, "One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things," once the biological enzyme affects the first deoxyribonucleic acid it comes into contact with, it immediately spreads throughout the mouse's body... especially affecting the mitochondria in the cells.
Mitochondria are organelles found in most cells, enclosed by two membranes. They are the structures in cells that produce energy and are the main site of aerobic respiration.
Mitochondria possess their own genetic material and genetic system, but their genome size is limited, making them a semi-autonomous organelle. In addition to providing energy for cells, mitochondria participate in processes such as cell differentiation, cell signaling, and apoptosis, and have the ability to regulate cell growth and the cell cycle.
These vital mitochondria, within the bioenzymes secreted by the red line, produced a singularity reaction, much like upgrading a primitive hand-cranked machine tool into a computer-controlled 3D printer!
Mitochondria are being strengthened; their lifespan, which is about 10 days on average, is being extended. Their membranes are becoming more robust, and their internal structures are becoming more complex and sophisticated.
While increasing oxygen production efficiency, it also enhances its resistance to oxygen toxicity and inhibits the production of reactive oxygen free radicals (I don't need to explain what this means, humph~╭(╯^╰)╮).
Academician Lu examined the white mouse on the tray, pondering whether to dissect it alive to study how the red thread fused into the mouse's body.
Just as I was thinking, I noticed the white mouse on the tray twitch its hind legs, indicating that the anesthesia was slowing down.
Thirty seconds later, the anesthetic components secreted by the red thread were broken down by the mouse. The mouse struggled a few times, and as its nervous system recovered, it slowly stood up and sniffed its surroundings as if nothing had happened.
"The red line didn't affect the base body?"
Academician Lu frowned slightly. It seemed that nothing had changed after the red thread parasitized the mouse's body, but the red thread must have its purpose, otherwise it would not have gone to the trouble of burrowing into the organism's body.
Is it to absorb nutrients from the host to ensure its own survival, or is there some other unclear reason?
Academician Lu leans towards the former, since survival is the first law for living things.
"Observe for a week first."
In the end, Academician Lu decided to continue observing. If the red line had any effect on the mice, it would take some time to develop, and a week would be enough.
"Academician Lu, would you like some truths? Come here..."
"Ok?"
Academician Lu looked at his assistant with a puzzled expression. After a moment of hesitation, the assistant said, "...I heard that the truth in Shangqiu can trigger gene mutations. I wonder if it will have some strange reaction with the red thread."
“Good idea. I remember there seem to be some truths in the warehouse. Let’s prepare for a second experiment in seven days… Oh right, prepare more prototypes.”
This experiment is now complete. All that's left is to observe and see what effect the red line has on the mice.
Academician Lu affirmed his assistant's idea, saying that scientific research is a process of trial and error, but biochemical experiments involve organic matter and require extreme caution.
In the event of a serious biohazard accident, the entire Level 4 laboratory will turn to light!
Old Li, who was observing the experiment outside, looked at Old Feng beside him and said excitedly, "This kid is a damn genius!"

Klopp
Entertainment area, international hotel.
Zhou Mingrui, who had taken a nap, opened his eyes in bed, groggily reached for his pillow, found his phone, and glanced at the time; it was already six o'clock in the evening.
"Did you sleep for two hours?"
He got up and went to the bathroom in the room. He turned on the faucet, and after washing his face with the cool water, Zhou Mingrui felt refreshed.
Krober's nightlife is about to begin, so let's go see what this magical city's nightlife is like.
Chapter 52: It wasn't because they had a change of heart, but because we arrived.
After washing up, Zhou Mingrui shaved, then opened his suitcase, picked out a few inconspicuous casual clothes, put them on, and went out of the room.
Shi Qiang was wearing a dark casual outfit, but judging from his bulging armpits, he probably had a pistol tucked under his armpits for self-defense.
"And what about them?"
"Changing clothes."
"Oh..."
Zhou Mingrui sat on the sofa, took out his notebook, and waited patiently.
While flipping through the notes in the notebook, I suddenly came across a special note with a symbol marked with ※. The reason I didn't write it in Chinese or English was to prevent the two kittens from accidentally seeing it and causing a misunderstanding.
The matter of finding Bell and Tio's biological parents, which I asked Yuri to do before, has made some progress. It seems that the intelligence agency of the Bel Kingdom is not inactive. It is deduced that Tio's biological parents are in a small country that is close to the Republic of Kalva. Bell's biological parents are likely in Krobel, but it is not clear which family they are.
Zhou Mingrui planned to see if he could find her biological parents, and take Lingdang to visit them, but that was all.
Bell already has the surname Zhou, and is still registered under Rabbit's name, so sending it back is impossible!
But people need to know where they come from and where they are going.
A moment later, the two little girls came out of the room. Bell was wearing a purple dress with a local style, while Theo was wearing a black dress.
"Let's go for a stroll and then go see the legendary Rainbow Theatre Company."
"it is good!"
Zhou Mingrui, leading two kittens and carrying Rainbow Theater tickets gifted by the hotel in his pocket, walked out of the grand hotel with the hotel waiter's greeting. That night, Krobel revealed another side of itself to Zhou Mingrui.
"Not bad..."
When Zhou Mingrui stepped out of the hotel, his first impression was of the bustling atmosphere. There were many food stalls and carts selling ice cream and drinks on the street.
The streets are mostly filled with couples, wow... it seems the entertainment district is a popular dating spot for men and women in Clobell.
Some couples with their children bought food from street stalls and then headed towards the Rainbow Theater, giving Zhou Mingrui the feeling of being in a movie theater.
The movie theater... wait, the movie theater!
Speaking of cinemas, Zhou Mingrui looked around the entertainment district and quickly spotted a vacant lot. He made up his mind to buy it and invest in a cultural venue that includes a cinema, library, coffee shop, clothing store, and more.
Then they'll play some rabbit-themed videos, sell some rabbit books, and maybe a few books published by "Friends from Another World".
The Book of Changes, the Tao Te Ching... and so on—a wave of wisdom from our rabbit ancestors, accompanied by pinyin... forcing anyone wanting to understand rabbit culture to learn Chinese characters. But just learning characters isn't enough, so we'll add a fantasy version of a classic Chinese lecture series!
As for the book by the otherworldly friend... "Why is Shangqiu so clean?" is quite good.
As for movies, rabbit mythology is quite good, such as "The White Snake," "Havoc in Heaven," "Journey to the West," and "Ne Zha." Whether it's the visual bombardment of modern computer special effects or the ink painting style, let the people of Krober experience the charm of rabbit mythology.
