Chapter 658: Devouring Ability
A month passed again, and batches of hibernating populations gradually woke up and saw the blue sky and white clouds. For them, coming to a new world is equivalent to starting a new life.
However, for biologists in the supernatural laboratory, there is a very important task on them!
"Treatment of parasitic infections...the total infected population is more than 6,400! It is necessary to successfully treat it!"
With so many people, most of them are elite soldiers in their twenties and thirties. If they cannot be saved, it will be a major political accident!
Therefore, every expert is working overtime.
"...This parasite lives inside the human brain, and it is very troublesome. Fortunately, it has been frozen in time, otherwise even if the Daluo Jinxian descends to the earth, it will be impossible to treat it. We have found several drugs that can kill the parasite, but..."
“But what?”
Since the Dongfang has been incorporated into the capital of the Sea of Clouds, these soldiers are equivalent to those under his command, Lu Yiming is naturally very concerned about this matter.
"The toxicity of these drugs is often too strong and will kill the human brain. The brain is so fragile..."
Professor Huang patted his head, which was about to be bald: "You know, the human brain is so sophisticated. The parasites of this monster are unreasonable. Their focus on invading the target is human neurons."
"I even have a little doubt that people who hibernate in time have their brains occupied and cannot be saved."
"Is Z element... not possible?" Lu Yiming asked.
The Z element, as an entropy reduction element, will make things spontaneously develop in a good direction.
"The Z element is not used like this!" Professor Huang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think it is a causal weapon? God knows whether the so-called 'good direction' is for humans or for monsters."
"Humans are not the sons of luck, so why should they be biased towards humans with the 'good direction'? Maybe they tend to be biased towards those parasites. They will become a blessing in disguise and further evolve."
Lu Yiming sighed: "Then what you mean is that all these people are beyond rescue? More than 6,000 people!"
"Old Huang, six thousand people are not six! Such a big thing is to cause social unrest, and no matter what happens, you have to think of a way."
Professor Huang showed a mysterious smile and shook his head again: "Not that."
"There is still a little chance, which is the green crystal you brought back. The crystal contains a special special culture solution that allows life to evolve. We call it the 'evolutionary medicine solution'!"
"By purifying the culture medium, maybe a solution can be found."
"Let's go and have a look."
Soon, Professor Huang took him into a closely guarded supernatural laboratory.
This laboratory is located on the minus 4th floor of the underground space. The walls are made of special materials with supernatural properties, which can be regarded as the A-level defense standard.
Lu Yiming witnessed various research machines, most of which were biological machines, and cultivated certain organs of the evil gods. Some special components secreted by these organs have important experimental properties.
There was also the lively little golden dragon, meditating in the air, and there was a cloud like marshmallow under his feet.
The size of the little golden dragon is actually not small. It has a body length of more than three meters and a weight of more than two hundred kilograms. It has grown very fast in recent days.
"Huh, why are you here too?" Lu Yiming said curiously, "Didn't you learn with Xuanwu? Have you learned all the skills of the old turtle? Impossible?"
The little golden dragon shook his tail, blinked his eyes, shook his head again, and roared softly.
It said that it was called by Professor Huang, not that it came on its own initiative.
It just got bored here and then fell asleep "accidentally".
"You can fall asleep accidentally." Lu Yiming laughed in silence.
"Oh, that's it, luck! Luck problem!" Professor Huang explained: "According to statistical research, where the golden dragon appears, luck will rise accordingly, and many things will become smoother! This is not superstition, but what has been truly counted, as for why this happens, there is no clear explanation yet."
"Okay..." Lu Yiming didn't think about pursuing such a thing, although this kind of thing sounds superstitious.
"What did you say about the green culture medium... have you cultivated?"
The three green crystals and embryonic stem cell specimens are subject to very strict control as offspring of the Demon-level life devourers.
They are placed in a special warehouse underground in the capital of the Sea of Clouds. The current control level is A, which means the same level as Nubi Altar and Blood Demon.
In this case, any experiment is strictly approved. The expert team can only remove about 1 ml of liquid from the warehouse at a time, plus single-digit stem cells.
However, for scientific research, a milliliter of culture medium and dozens of stem cells is enough for a long period of time.
"Look here, it is the final result of the second generation of the phagocytator stem cells, which are cultured." Professor Huang pointed to a petri dish and said: "This kind of stem cells show extremely high activity and extremely high phagocytosis in the petri dish. It can almost swallow and digest all foreign cells."
“It’s even more than that…”
"It's... the baby in the green crystal? The swallowing ability..."
“Yes, we call it ‘Devourer II’.”
"Okay... It's such a simple noun." Lu Yiming shrugged.
But as a scientific noun, it is good to understand the meaning. Being simpler can also avoid some confusion in meaning.
"We used the second generation of the Eater cells and did a lot of experiments."
"The first experiment was a normal experiment. The stem cells of the second generation of the phenomenon grew up normally and split and differentiated smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, these stem cells will differentiate into a serious organ and cannot directly become complete individuals."
Stem cells only have a part of their omnipotence.
If you want it to grow into a complete individual like a fertilized egg, you need the help of Element Z. Of course, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible. Element Z is too rare and is also strictly controlled.
"In the second experimental group, after the second generation of cells of the phenomenon came out, a living cell specimen of the evil god "Jade Bead" was also placed, and the epithelial cells stripped from the venom glands were placed."
The venom glands in the petri dish continuously secrete paralysis venom, providing output for humans.
"After the jade bead epithelial cells were found by the second generation of the swallower stem cells, a fierce war broke out between the two sides."
"The final result is that the jade bead cells are completely defeated and completely swallowed by the second generation of the swallower."
"Next, the embryonic stem cells continued to differentiate, and there were signs of the Yuzhu poison gland. Due to the safety regulations of the laboratory, we had to destroy the corresponding specimens."
Lu Yiming frowned. This kind of experiment does sound dangerous, but there is no way. If you don’t complete this kind of experiment, you will not be able to get more information.
"What do you mean is that after the second generation of the Devourer eats the Yuzhu's cells, they can obtain the Yuzhu to a certain extent?"
"That's right! It's like this from the surface. It's such a terrible creature! You know, the venom of the evil god of Jade Zhu is very powerful, and even the dragon can be paralyzed. But now, the cells of the second generation of the Devourer also have similar abilities."
More than that.
Professor Huang pointed to the third petri dish again: "We conducted the next experiment and let the second generation of the devourers devour the cells of the horn demon... The final result was that the horn demon was defeated."
The Horn Demon, the evil god installed on the Taihang Mountain, can exude amazing spiritual pressure and shock the surrounding monsters.
"Immediately afterwards, during the differentiation of the second generation of Devourers, the characteristic traces of the horned demon appeared."
"Even in these cells, the corresponding ether values were checked!"
"In the third experiment, the second generation of the Devourer ate jade bead cells and horn demon cells in a row. During the differentiation process, signs of the two appeared. It is actually a creature that can evolve infinitely. It is really incredible and powerful! If it is allowed to eat continuously, it will continue to evolve and have many different superpowers."
Professor Huang became more and more excited: "In the whole process, the green evolutionary culture medium played the most important effect. It is a special catalyst that ensures the activity of cells to the greatest extent."
"Otherwise, the second generation of the Devourer will not be able to devour the jade beads and horn demon cells. Otherwise, these two are at the level of evil gods, which will cause other creatures to mutate..."
"If it evolves to the end, it will inevitably be an extremely powerful demon, and it will become more and more powerful, and it can evolve almost infinitely!"
"Okay, okay, I know... But the second generation of the Devourer has completely died, and we have ruled out this risk. Unless the laboratory artificially helps it resurrect, this infinitely evolved creature cannot appear. This can guarantee that unless another Devourer appears, and this monster is born."
Lu Yiming spread his hands, although he was a little scared, he was silent on the surface: "Then, can this evolutionary culture medium be used for humans? How to treat more than 6,000 infected people? This is the key issue!"
"It doesn't make a super monster in the laboratory, right? We can't control this kind of monster."
Professor Huang said patiently: "Of course it's not that simple."
"The appearance of this culture medium is like amniotic fluid in the uterus of biological organisms, which can fully stimulate the activity of biological cells. For example, the cells of the golden dragon may also have phagocytosis after they survive in the green culture medium for a period of time."
"Also, some somatic cells of regenerative abilities have strong vitality and can survive in the culture medium. Using this evolutionary culture medium to cultivate human cells or other regenerative cells of ordinary animals, you will find that these cells also have relatively primary phagocytosis. Although they are incomparable to the second generation of phagocytosis, they also have extremely high research potential!"
"This is the ability to evolve in the direction of evolution, shortening the evolution of billions of years to just a few hours. What if humans can further evolve?"
