In the mountains north of Los Angeles in the afternoon, four girls from the SOS group gathered on the first floor of a log cabin to listen to Alice report the results of the experiment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the house is still simply decorated, the first floor of the living room is full of furniture, and everyone is sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

The results of the experiment proved that Caesar's genetic variation was inherited from his mother, but the degree of mutation between his mother and ordinary chimpanzee was only 0.15%, which was still fundamentally different from Caesar's 0.35%. ”

Alice shook the report in her hand, although it was a report, but it was just a game she printed out: "You know, there is a lot of information stored in the DNA chain of cells, and even a difference of one percent will cause a very large difference in species. The genetic compatibility between humans and flies is still 80%, 0.18% and 0.35%, and from a biological point of view, they can be said to be two different small species!"

"So...... What the hell is going on?"

Sissi swore she hadn't come here with the idea of listening to science fiction, but the report that had been handed out to everyone—on the premise that Alice wasn't teasing them—was clearly written, and the numbers 0.15 percent and 0.35 percent were clearly marked in red.

"Did we meet aliens? Or did we encounter some kind of mutant creature from a science fiction movie?"

This is not a trivial problem, Sissi comes to Caesar every few days to play, and if the situation is really like Alice said, doesn't that mean ......

"What is the reason?"

Maiya saw Sissi's panic and pressed her shoulder hard: "You are a genius with a brain capacity countless times larger than ours, since you will explain the situation to us, then you must have done everything, right?"

"Brain volume ......"

Alice smiled, still shaking the single piece of paper in her hand: "Actually, it was also by chance, I kept observing Caesar's blood through an electron microscope, and at the same time observing the blood of other chimpanzees, through comparison, I accidentally discovered a strange situation. ”

Saying this, Alice slowed down her speech and said mysteriously, "That is, there is almost no virus in Caesar's blood. ”

"Virus!?"

"Do you mean Caesar's blood is cleaner? No, uh......"

Everyone was puzzled by this answer, and couldn't see what's the big deal with the virus?, but just as Sissi finished saying a sentence and was waiting to reorganize the language, Ashley suddenly slapped her face: "Ah, Alice, are you sure you use the right words?"

"No, Ashley, you're good at observing. ”

Alice replied in the affirmative, then waved her hand and said, "Why don't we all go to the laboratory and have a look, just here and say, I'm afraid your experience is not deep enough, how about it?"

Say action, action, this is something that has made everyone curious for a long time, and everyone took the elevator to the seventh basement floor. The floor of the main hall on the first floor suddenly sagged, and the empty environment around it was quickly replaced by a dull cement wall, but fortunately, everyone has experienced it many times, if you let any person ride for the first time, you have to be frightened by this uninterrupted claustrophobic environment!

But even so, Sissi complained: "I've always wondered, you know, Alice, every time I take this damn elevator, I wonder why you have to make a good vacation house and laboratory like the lair of the evil boss?"

"Of course, it's because I want to be a villain. ”

"Uh...... I was speechless. ”

Everything was just an interlude, and in a short time, everyone arrived at the laboratory.

It's been a long time, and what was originally just a haphazard arrangement of rooms has now become organized. Tables stand against the wall and are home to a complex set of machinery, including seven centrifuges, an electron microscope and a computer take up the bulk of attention, and a cold room is a separate room for the storage of specimens.

"You see, this is a map of the microbes in the blood of the average orangutan. ”

Turning on the computer, Alice pointed to the photo on it and showed it to the crowd.

It was a unit volume of blood, and it could be clearly seen that it was like a red table topped with snow-white rice, covered with countless white spots of light.

"At the current resolution, I'm marking germs, and then this one is Caesar's. ”

The distinction was immediately apparent, and only a third of the number of bacteria could be seen on Caesar's pattern, and the white spots were extremely scattered. Compared to the former, it's like a bright starry sky and ...... The night sky is like a haze polluted by smog.

"Not all bacteria are harmful, in fact, most bacteria and parasites are ...... Well, it's all symbiosis. Although I am not an expert in biology, I can imagine that if the number of bacteria in a living creature is only one-third of that of other contemporaries, it is by no means a coincidence that can be explained. ”

Maiya nodded, "Go on." ”

Alice operating the computer: "And then there's this map of the virus, you see."

The picture switches again, and this time the resolution is instantly reduced to the cellular level, only to see a large number of light spots dotted around among the countless red blood cells.

"This is what I took in a low-resolution photo after observing their positions in more detail. Here's a picture of an ordinary orangutan, and then this one is Caesar's ......"

The contrast reappeared, Caesar's picture was almost clean, and the number of viruses was reduced by as much as five times in an instant!

"There must be some reason, so I have two conjectures at the moment. ”

Alice said, "One is that Caesar is extremely immune, countless times stronger than any known mammal, and the other is ......."

"What's it!?"

Sissi can't wait for this slow statement: "Hurry up!"

"There is a super virus in Caesar's body, this virus does not cause harm to Caesar, and uses his body as a host, automatically devouring other viruses and bacteria on his body. ”

Looking at this photo tangledly, Alice smacked her lips and said, "I just don't know, if a creature lacks the parasitic bacteria it should have, it will be sick." Dear friends, one is particularly immune, and the other is a super virus, which one do you say is more likely?"

There seemed to be no suspense in this answer, and Sissi said without thinking: "It must be immunity, don't you emphasize its genetic differences?"

There was some truth, but Ashley immediately retorted: "If it's just strong immunity, there won't be such a big difference in comparison at all." The difference between gorillas and humans is only 1.5%, and if all that 0.35% is just a change in immunity......"

"Then there should be nothing. ”

Alice said: "The difference between genes per thousandth is very different at the micro level, and if it is really a change in immunity, even if it is only a third of this 0.35%, it will be enough for it to eliminate all viruses, but it is obviously not perfect now......"

In fact, when it comes to this, Alice herself is dumb.

After all, she has a limited understanding of biochemistry, and the current talent tree is all in the field of computers.

What's more, what she is currently researching is almost equivalent to studying artificial intelligence in the computer field, which belongs to a situation where everything is basically guessed.

Ashley stared at the pictures and said, "Then let's start from the perspective of xenoviruses, since there are so many bacteria and viruses missing from your sample, it should be easy to find special species that have not been discovered, right? ”

This statement is reasonable, and Alice immediately decides to continue according to this line of thought.

"However, if we continue to follow this line of thinking, we will not be able to continue the experiment now. ”

However, a new problem was immediately put in front of her, and Alice looked at the various sets of equipment throughout the laboratory: "Although our equipment is no different from that of the university laboratory, and even more comprehensive than many Tubaozi professors, we don't have a database after all!"

Everyone reacted as soon as they heard this, and Maiya nodded calmly: "Indeed, if you don't have a virus database sample provided by the WHO on your computer, you can't make a comparison at all. ”

Ashley thought to herself, "Why don't you have some contact with the people at the Pentagon, and let them come forward and ask you for a copy from the WHO or something?"

Sissi rolled her eyes: "Why is her face so big?"

Alice chuckled, and moved quickly to operate the computer, which kept displaying many unclear pictures and documents: "This is easy to do, just wait until we go to Eton College." Although it is only a middle school, personalized education has been developed to the extreme, and if I find a school and let a few chemistry teachers open a biochemistry research institute with me, there must be no reason to refuse, right?"

This sentence was said to Ashley, and her head moved quickly: "No problem, no problem! Didn't I tell you earlier, the headmaster at that time could pursue my grandmother back then, and he dared not do this little thing!"

Sissi burst out laughing and said slyly, "Haha, Ashley, the headmaster won't be waiting for your grandmother to favor you!?"

"Why not? Alice had met my grandmother, what a charming old lady. Sissi, don't think about twilight love too dirty, I can see it by looking at your expression~"

"Am I dirty? You're dirty, aren't you? Golden retriever, don't think you have ...... legs longer than me."

"Wait!"

Alice suddenly raised her hand to stop everyone's laughter.

It turned out that the pager was ringing.

Alice picked it up, looked at it for a moment, and sighed softly.

"The Pentagon told me to go to them immediately, and I don't know what the hell it is. (To be continued.) )
