After a rigorous disinfection process, Chen Chen finally entered the highest-level biological gene core laboratory in the hive.

Although seven years have passed, the laboratory has been in a closed state after all, and it is a class 100 clean area, so the entire laboratory has not been contaminated.

It was as if time had stopped passing in this lab.

This laboratory is strictly a suite, which is divided into seven or eight laboratories with different functions according to various classifications, such as sterilization room, quality inspection room, operation room and so on.

Not only that, what really moved Chen Chen's heart was a high-end instrument that Chen Chen had never seen before.

"Centrifuges, nucleic acid extraction instruments, real-time polymerase chain reaction instruments, ......"

Chen Chen was wrapped in a bloated protective suit, and he quickly recognized some instruments by looking at the machines, relying on his instinctive understanding of the equipment in the biological laboratory, as well as his intuition.

Because there is also monitoring in the laboratory, every time Chen Chen walks by an instrument, as long as he can't recognize it, he can get an explanation from X-112.

"This is ......"

Suddenly, Chen Chen was attracted by a special device in front of him.

It was a large printer-like device, with a white casing and a deep groove in the middle, which seemed to contain some tiny element, too small to be seen.

"Is this a micromanipulator?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows.

"No, this is the adenine base editor."

X-112 said, "This editor, which can precisely manipulate individual base pairs on DNA, is a new technology developed on the CRISPR gene scissor technology, which uses artificial AI to more effectively lock and edit the genome." ”

Chen Chen was taken aback when he heard this, "Being able to manipulate a single base pair, isn't there almost no off-target phenomenon?" ”

"So far, it seems." X-112 replied.

"In this way, it is really not a fluke that the world can study the T virus, has the biotechnology of this umbrella company reached this height?"

Chen Chen muttered in a low voice.

In the real world, there are about three mainstream gene editing technologies in human beings, namely: ZFN gene editing technology, TALEN gene editing technology and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology.

Among the three technologies, only CRISPR/Cas9 technology has the lowest deportation rate, is the most reliable, and is also the only technology that can edit RNA, so it is also the most widely used gene editing technology.

However, CRISPR/Cas9 technology currently has many problems, such as incompetence in complex gene editing, low transfection efficiency, and so on.

However, it seems that a long time ago, this umbrella company has blazed a new trail, and gene editing technology alone is beyond the gap of thirty or forty years in reality.

Continuing to check, Chen Chen soon found a large number of biological devices beyond real technology, with these equipment, Chen Chen could even easily observe the DNA nucleic acid chain, and other technologies were more simple and accurate than in reality.

It's a paradise for creature dogs......

Chen Chen sighed secretly.

"By the way," Chen Chen asked with some excitement as if he had thought of something, "Are there any T virus samples in this hive?" ”

"No, by examining the surveillance records, all the T virus and the T virus antidote were lost seven years ago, and now only a part of the samples of the Archaeopteryx exist."

"Ancestral virus?"

Chen Chen's heart moved, ordinary people may not have heard of this virus, but Chen Chen had already investigated the entire setting of Resident Evil, and he was already familiar with this virus.

And the so-called progenitor virus, according to the game setting, is actually the predecessor of the T virus.

The founders of Resident Evil discovered a flower called the "Ladder of the Sun" in Africa, and through this flower, the first RNA fragment was extracted, which is the Archaeopteryx virus.

Archaeopteryx had the power to alter human genes, so after several undesirable experiments, the founders chimeled the gene fragments of leeches with the genes of Archaeopteryx to create the original T virus.

"Where's the Ancestral Virus?" Chen Chen hurriedly asked.

"Archaeopteryx is frozen in the hive's freezer." X-112 replied, "Do you need to thaw now?" ”

"Wait." Chen Chen thought for a while and hurriedly waved his hand, "Give me a copy of the information on the Ancestor Virus, and I'll check it first." ”

"Understood."

X-112 agreed, and then Chen Chen saw that the computer on the side turned on automatically, and then pages of information were sent.

However, as he went deeper to look at the information of the Ancestor Virus, Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes.

According to the information, the Archaeopteryx came from the Dubai sub-tribe in West Africa, and the "Ladder of the Sun" flowers contain a viral substance in the form of RNA, which can enhance the body's ability and prolong the life of humans.

From a biological point of view, the RNA characteristics of Archaeopteryx can promote the evolution of human DNA, but the toxins contained in the virus will kill the human immune system, resulting in systemic inflammation, necrosis of skin and other outer tissues, loss of large amounts of body fluids, and secondary infection of various diseases, followed by sepsis and severe shock, and eventually death.

Only a very small number of individuals have mutations in their immune receptors after infection, allowing them to survive with a survival rate of no more than 10%.

Is this symptom exactly the same as Ebola hemorrhagic fever?

When Chen Chen saw this, he quickly pulled it down, and immediately saw the electron microscope photo of the progenitor virus, which looked like a worm-like filamentous virus.

Also from West Africa, the same filovirus, and even Archaeopteryx are symptoms of infection, which lead to systemic inflammation, necrosis of the skin and other outer tissues, etc., which are almost identical to Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Chen Chen checked the genetic sequence of the progenitor virus again, but found that sure enough, the genetic similarity between the progenitor virus and the Ebola virus reached 98%!

It can be said that it is homologous.

Chen Chen looked thoughtful.

This is not surprising, after all, in the eyes of any ordinary person, Resident Evil was originally written by real screenwriters, and it makes sense to use the progenitor virus as a tribute to the Ebola virus in the real world.

However, it is just a tribute to the setting, but it happens to promise that the set virus has the power to change human DNA and accelerate human evolution, which is a bit bizarre......

If the screenwriter just fabricated a virus that can make human beings evolve out of thin air, Chen Chen would still be able to accept it, after all, the USB flash drive is suspected to have the power to complete the rules, and even the existence of superpowers that are out of control can exist, isn't it normal to have a virus that makes people evolve?

But what Chen Chen couldn't accept was that this virus had 98 percent of the same genetic sequence as the Ebola virus, didn't it mean that the Ebola virus also had the potential to allow human beings to evolve as long as it was slightly modified?

So, is it the Ebola virus itself that has this potential, and the Resident Evil story is just self-defeating?

Or is it because of the existence of a parallel time and space like Resident Evil, that there will be all viruses like Ebola, which are very similar to the progenitor virus?

To put it simply, Chen Chen's question is: Is there a Resident Evil movie first, or is there a Resident Evil plane first?

Chen Chen kept looking at the documents sent by X-112, but his mind had already flown out of the clouds.

If this problem can be clarified, then Chen Chen will also be able to figure out why some movies can be recognized through a USB flash drive when shooting movies, while others cannot.
