216 - New project opens
"Boss, the process of the T virus transforming the host into a zombie has been fully summarized."
Two days later, Chen Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the isolation room, looking at the five test subjects tied to the stretcher in the floor-to-ceiling window, while Hannibal behind him read a report:
"After the T virus enters the cells of the human circulatory system, it first releases RNA, masquerading as the host's RNA, and once the parasitism is successful, the polymerase slides along the RNA strand covered with beads one by one until it reaches the correct RNA end."
"The polymerase then reads the code on the RNA, synthesizes the corresponding messenger RNA, and once a polymerase starts reading the genetic information of the RNA, it collides with other polymerases that are still sliding, causing them to move around the cell until they also find the correct RNA end and start replicating......"
"Eventually, the T virus infects every cell in the host, killing a large number of immune cells along the way, and when these immune cells die, the host's body begins to decay."
Chen Chen listened quietly.
"At present, it seems that the transmission of the T virus is temporarily transmitted by body fluids, including blood, saliva, sweat, tears, sputum, etc., but when the virus reaches a certain concentration, it can also be transmitted by volatilization, of course, to achieve that concentration, it must be done by breaking the container of about one billion units of the T virus, and the virus can only survive in the air for less than an hour, which will cause protein inactivation and death."
"Eventually, the immune system will collapse under the attack of the T virus, and the host will die completely, but after death, the host will officially enter the zombieization ......"
Hannibal continued, "After experimental observation, after the death of the host, the host's bodily functions will stop for three to five minutes, and then the T-virus will restart the host's brain cells and bring the host back to life. ”
"At this time, in fact, the host has completely died, but its cells are still alive, and it seems that the weak electrical current of brain cells caused by the T virus will last for more than a few months."
"Of course, this is not really a resurrection, it is just a walking corpse with an instinctive reaction, maybe a memory, but it is not wisdom, and because viruses require a lot of energy to reproduce, zombies are driven by basic impulses and needs."
"To put it simply, that's ...... Eat! ”
Hannibal put down the report in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "Boss, are you still satisfied with this report?" ”
"Yes, it's already detailed."
Chen Chen folded his arms and nodded, "In other words, after turning into a zombie, theoretically you can move for a few more months?" ”
"Yes, it will take about three to five months before it completely absolutes, but that's just a theory after all."
Hannibal replied, "If the nutrition is insufficient, the zombie will starve to death in ten days, and if the zombie is injured, the wound will also become inflamed and suppurated, and necrosis will also occur, but the process is longer than that of the living." ”
"Good."
Chen Chen suddenly turned around, "How are you and Neumann doing research?" ”
Neumann is one of the three genius-level researchers selected by Chen Chen at the beginning, once Hannibal, Li Lei and Neumann were all responsible for the hormone regulation technology of cloning, but later the research projects gradually increased, and the three of them slowly divided labor.
"You mean hormone control technology."
Hannibal replied, "The current hormone control technology has been able to shorten the life cycle of a clone from one year to six months, which is probably the limit, after all, it takes a lot of time for a fertilized egg to grow directly into the size of an adult." ”
"I know, half a year is almost enough."
Chen Chen thought for a while, "Next, the three of you will work together on the next project." ”
"What's next?"
The two of them suddenly became curious, and then Li Lei looked at the five zombies in the isolation room, and his expression lit up, "I understand, it's an organic biological weapon?" ”
With Li Lei's point, Hannibal finally understood.
Hannibal's three were the first to study the human cloning project, and then after the success of the human cloning project, Chen Chen asked the three to continue to study hormone regulation technology, and the second project can be described as a derivative project of human cloning, and the current three projects, of course, are still derivative projects of human cloning.
"That's right, you've already guessed what's next."
Chen Chen nodded and said appreciatively, "We already know that the T virus cannot be adapted by humans, and the consequence of forcibly fusing the T virus can only be to become a walking corpse, but what if the T virus is fused with a fertilized egg?" ”
"As long as the T virus is infected in the state of the fertilized egg, then the T virus will naturally become a part of the fertilized egg, and the organisms born in this way are the biological weapons that can truly perfectly integrate with the T virus!"
Speaking of this, Chen Chen suddenly showed a look of anticipation, "And what kind of power will the black knight created in this way have?" ”
……
Research on the T virus continues, but the focus is on organic biological weapons.
Hannibal, Lere, and Neumann also officially launched their third project, the Organic Biological Weapons Research Project.
However, in the setting of Resident Evil, the T virus is not actually the limit of its strength, such as the G virus, C virus, Veronica virus, and a series of more powerful viruses modified from the progenitor virus.
For example, the G virus is an individual whose mutation ability is far greater than that of the T virus.
The power of this virus lies in the fact that it is not necessary to make organic biological weapons like the T virus, which must be cultivated from a fertilized egg, but can be cultivated directly with adult organisms.
In other words, whether it is in terms of money or time, the efficiency of the G virus in cultivating biological weapons far exceeds that of the T virus, no wonder the in-game researcher of "Resident Evil" once said that "the T virus is just a waste that can only make zombies".
However, it is a pity that the G virus only exists in the game world, and there is no G virus in the "Resident Evil" movie.
And in the information that Chen Chen got back, there was no word about the G virus, which means that the worldview of the movie only exists with the T virus, and there is no G virus.
It's a pity, but it's normal to think about it.
After all, the ability of the G virus is so rebellious that it can even make a human grow from the size of a cruise ship in a few minutes, completely violating the law of conservation of mass and energy.
If he can, Chen Chen is also ready to open another research project to improve the T virus and study a customized version of his own.
What is a custom version?
To put it simply, the customized version is a virus that can only adapt to the genes of the customizer, which means that this T virus can be perfectly fused with the genes of the customizer to achieve an effect similar to the cultivation of a fertilized egg.
It's like Alice, the protagonist of the movie who perfectly blends the T-virus.
And the reason why Alice was able to fuse with the T virus was because she was lucky, and the chance was less than 1 in a million.
Chen Chen, on the other hand, wants to use genetic engineering technology to forcibly create a T virus that can match himself.
If he can succeed, Chen Chen will be equivalent to gaining physical fitness beyond ordinary people on the basis of superpowers, whether it is strength, speed, or even physique and lifespan, it will be several times that of ordinary people!
Of course, this custom virus will also be extremely difficult and long......
