It's been so long, the research on that mutant deathclaw and leadified mutant should be over, right?

"Of course, who do you think I am. Lin Ling sighed, and the corners of her mouth raised a hint of energy,

"Follow me. Hooking his finger to Jiang Chen, Lin Ling shook off her long silver-white hair and walked towards the culture tank in the back.

A creature with red flesh and blood was hanging in a culture tank, its dark green liquid tumbling upwards from time to time, looking like the work of a Frankenstein in American comics. However, Jiang Chen's focus was not on these, but on the parts below.

Sure enough, as rumored, there is a small Ding Ding in the wood.

I saw Lin Ling stretch out her Qianqian jade finger and tap it on the touchpad on the side of the culture tank, and several light orange fluorescences intertwined into a holographic screen in front of the two. The parameters listed on the screen made Jiang Chen confused.

Lin Ling, who was standing on the side, secretly glanced at him with contempt, and laughed at him for being "ignorant" proudly and presumptuously in his heart, and then opened his mouth with his little head held high.

"Muscle strength or strength index 63, bone strength 47, reflex nerve 20, brain cell activity 9. Hawkers, for human beings, without overdrawing their own potential, this is basically the limit of the best. ”

"Well, can this guy still be considered human?" Lin Ling said to herself, pinching her chin.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Ling, speaking of which, this chick can't be regarded as a human being.

"While the somatic cells are modified by the FEV virus, heavy metals are implanted into the outer epidermal tissue, and the leadified epidermis on its surface is comparable to that of C-shaped steel, which is naturally not a problem for defense against ordinary bullets. And the ability to regenerate cells is simply perverted, and according to the information recorded in the DNA data, even if you lose an arm, you can grow back in a week. Although I haven't fought before, this kind of thing should be invincible on the battlefield, right?" Even Lin Ling, a pacifist, couldn't help but complain about its combat effectiveness.

"Doesn't he have any weaknesses?" Jiang Chen said with a wry smile.

"Absolutely. Lin Ling nodded, "First of all, because of the influence of heavy metals, their nervous system is extremely weakened. Brain cell activity is as low as 9. In addition, their lifespan is very short, according to DNA telomeres and metabolic rate, their lifespan is only more than 30 years. Meantime. If their heads or hearts are destroyed, they will also die instantly. ”

Saying it and not saying it, what creature can live without a brain and a heart?

Jiang Chen sighed.

It seems that there is no shortcut in this matter, and when the time comes, this dangerous thing will be handed over to the "Tiger Hunter" to deal with. With the pure kinetic lethality of an electromagnetic cannon, let alone penetrate. It's okay to blow that thing to smithereens.

"By the way, can I ask a question?" Lin Ling said suddenly.

"Hmm? ”

"It just scared me when I first got the sample, how did you manage to kill all the cells in this mutant's body?" Lin Ling looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression, confused.

Because of the crossing, of course, but he wasn't going to tell her yet.

Delicately averting his eyes, Jiang Chen said vaguely.

In short, it was the use of a special weapon that interrupted his life activities in an instant. Speaking of which, what is the state of those cells under the microscope?"

"The rupture of the cell membrane can be deduced from the form of its rupture. It seems that the cell fluid freezes due to ultra-low temperatures, in short, it is very weird, like walking through a wormhole with an entropy value infinitely close to 0 without preparation. Lin Ling stared at Jiang Chen's eyes and said suspiciously.

But there is no temperature change when you cross it.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, not noticing Lin Ling's suspicious gaze.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't react, Lin Ling continued.

"Crossing a realm where the entropy is infinitely close to zero may be nothing for a dead thing, but it is almost impossible for a living thing. However, as a shortcut to interstellar navigation, crossing wormholes is an unavoidable subject. There are also many different conjectures in the physics community about how to make living creatures pass through wormholes. Among them, Dr. Crain's conjecture is the most authoritative. ”

"Crain?" Jiang Chen always felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

"That's right. Its theory is in layman's terms. It is to make matter and energy pass through the wormhole through two perfectly parallel channels. As she spoke, Lin Ling casually picked up a water-based pen and drew a cylinder on the whiteboard, and then drew two parallel lines, one of which walked inside the cylinder. The other is outside the cylinder.

"All it takes is to send energy through a channel in another dimension to the exit of the wormhole at the entrance of the wormhole, and merge with the matter that passes through the wormhole. In this way, the entropy reduction link in the wormhole can be avoided. ”

"Drain the energy, wouldn't the creature die at that moment?" Jiang Chen asked puzzled.

"So, that's where Dr. Crainn excels. Lin Ling sighed, marked t1 and t2 at both ends of the whiteboard, and assigned them a value of 0.

"Time. Studies have shown that all physical perceptions of space and time in wormholes are chaotic. In layman's terms. You can make a few detours to the exit, or you can reach the exit the moment you step into the wormhole. As long as you find the 'perfect path', you can completely reduce the time it takes to get through the wormhole to zero. ”

"As a figurative example, a door frame is placed in front of you. You are holding a ball in your hand, and it symbolizes your temperature. As a rule, I snatch the ball as it passes through the goal, so you throw the ball up the moment you step over the goal, and the ball goes over the frame from above. After passing through the goal, you take the ball back and get through. ”

"I see. Jiang Chen nodded as if he didn't understand.

"So, how did you get through that door?"

"I don't know, use the bracelet" Suddenly, Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling vigilantly and narrowed his eyes.

"You talk to me. ”

"It's the idiot himself who wants to say it. Lin Ling raised the corners of her mouth proudly and complained nonchalantly.

"You're playing with fire. ”

As if sensing the chill in Jiang Chen's tone, Lin Ling shrank her neck in fear, and her previous look was gone, "I, I'm just curious, and I don't mean anything else." And, moreover, the last time you suddenly appeared out of the tent, I vaguely guessed that I was seeing so much food in the base. You're definitely an alien, aren't you?"

Alien?

Jiang Chen was stunned, and then laughed with a "poof".

"You, what are you laughing at. Lin Ling plucked up her courage and resisted in a low voice.

"Ahem. It's nothing. Since you've guessed pretty much, I'll tell you directly. Jiang Chen smiled, "I'm a traverser, do you know the traverser? from the past in 2015." ”

Lin Ling was stunned, and then wrinkled the pair of beauty.

"Traverser, from the past?"

"You've said that in wormholes, all physical concepts don't apply. If you can even ignore the space axis, the time axis is fine, right?" Jiang Chen spread his hands.

"Theoretically, yes, although three of the six colony ships have passed through wormholes, only they know what exactly happens through wormholes. Lin Ling pinched her chin and nodded, but she looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, "I really can't see it, I didn't expect the stingy Great Demon to tell me this kind of secret." ”

"What can I do if I tell you?" Jiang Chen looked at the red and black eyes with a smile, "I don't plan to let you go in my life." ”

Hearing this, Lin Ling's face turned red. Rarely, he didn't continue to speak venomously, but looked to the side.

Jiang Chen didn't realize the ambiguity in his words, and looked at the "forced submission" expression on this little girl's face with satisfaction.

"By the way, what about the dead claw?

At the mention of that dead claw, Lin Ling's face showed a rare look of solemnity.

"Found some on that dead claw, I found something strange. ”

Leaving Lin Ling's laboratory, recalling her words just now, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

It is well known that X1 bacteria are designed to purify radiation, simply because they mutate uncontrollably in the radiation environment. That's why it became a terrifying zombie germ.

However, the "design concept" of X2 bacteria is a bit ambiguous.

As an improved version of the X1 bacteria, X2's ability to purify radiation has been enhanced to a certain extent. However, it is intriguing that the effect of eroding the nervous system of living beings has not been removed, but has been strengthened to a certain extent. At the same time, the cell structure is strengthened. making it more difficult to be cleared by the immune system.

As if to get rid of humanity along with the radiation.

Fortunately, the DNA structure of the cell is too stable to reproduce through binary fission like the X1 type, and can only be produced by the mother as a "factory". Therefore, after Jiang Chen cleared the source of diffusion in this area, the X2 bacteria gradually disappeared.

"Could it be that the X1 bacteria mutated themselves? After all, there's radiation everywhere here."

"No way. At that time, Lin Ling shook her head and affirmed Jiang Chen's doubts, "Dead claws evolved armor and simplified claws with tight molecular chains, all of which were the result of natural selection and elimination. In order to survive, organisms will evolve the ability to adapt to their environment, rather than imprisoning their own lives. Cumbersome reproduction methods, meaningless functions for survival, X2 bacteria meet the absolute impossibility of self-evolution. ”

After a pause, Lin Ling continued, "There is only one possibility, someone artificially created X2 bacteria. However, what puzzled me was that the information on the X1 bacteria should have been on board the colony ship with the researchers. ”

"Could it be a researcher like you who didn't have time to board the ship?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

"I don't know," Lin Ling shook her head, "It's just one thing for sure, the people who have studied X2 bacteria are definitely not happy." ”

Someone wants to exterminate humanity in the wasteland.

But who could it be?

Mutants have good reasons to do this, but can they handle bacteria that can't even carry their claws?

But if it's not a mutant, who has the motivation to do this?

At this time, a terrifying thought suddenly surged into Jiang Chen's mind.

If wormholes can transcend time, where did the three colonies go? Did they really abandon the terrestrial planet entirely?

(I took a day off and felt much better, and after watching some science and education documentaries, I felt that the posture (brain hole) was back.) Hey, ask for votes to support!) )
