504. in the first place
Long Ping shook his head and said slowly, "It's difficult, it's hard!" ”
"Through rigorous analysis, I basically figured out something."
"Figured out what?" Joyna asked.
"For example, these viruses are not one, but dozens or more of them are mixed together! It can be called a complex virus, and when it binds to human cells, there are countless possibilities. ”
"Composite virus?"
Joyna was taken aback, she had never imagined that those viruses were such unpredictable things.
"Yes, phagophagoviruses are vectored by human genes, and they seem to have a more sensitive response to certain responses. Moreover, it cannot be said that it is 'clearing' the virus, which is an appropriate term...... It should be to start some kind of special 'evolutionary' means to neutralize the side effects of the virus and reduce the drastic effects on the body. This is my preliminary judgment on this matter. ”
"Oh my God, this is a virus that can't be removed?"
If this is the case, then all those infected by the "phagocytic cells" will not be able to avoid the fate of death even if they are connected to the two floating cities.
This virus is simply too domineering!
Could it be that these people are all saved and can only wait for death?
Joyna looked a little tired and said in a trembling voice, "Then you mean that there is no one complete cure?" ”
"The same cannot be said. It's all about time and research...... We don't have enough time, and we have all the equipment and manpower, and it is a miracle that the research has progressed to the point where it is today. ”
"Don't we have some unique equipment? Isn't it okay to treat them with them? ”
Several expressions changed on Joyna's face in an instant, showing a surprised, shocked, and confused expression, and she actually thought of the "blood therapy" that Su Zhe had shown her in that underground base.
"No, no...... It can't just be a cure, that's a later thing. I mean, this complex virus will take longer to study, or get richer samples, maybe to unravel its secrets. ”
"Time? I'm afraid we don't have that much time! Joyna's face was cold, and the glimmer of hope in her eyes was fading.
If all these people die, what's the point of saving them?
Is it just a reduction in the number of opponents that the master said?
Long Ping didn't seem to see Joyna's gloomy gaze, and just said to himself, "There is one thing that cannot be ignored. The effects of this virus on the human body are very rapid, and they can do it in a short period of time by changing the physiology of infected humans and even affecting human genes. So, after a thorough study, I'm afraid these people ......"
"Will they die?"
"No, not necessarily! It has something to do with everyone's physique and resistance. I mean, they may go through the pain of a change, but they don't necessarily die. ”
The pain of change?
Could it be that what Long Ping was referring to was the blood food that the master said before that it had become an otherworldly creature?
"Hmm...... I see. ”
Joyna fell silent for a moment, trying to save the people, but the facts in front of her left her speechless.
After a while, she finally looked up.
"By the way, what do you mean by 'evolution'?"
Long Ping seemed a little surprised by her question, in his impression, Su Zhe should have said it to Joyna, and he had no reservations, "Well, I think there is still this information about the concept of evolution...... You should be familiar with it, right? ”
A trace of puzzlement flashed on Joyna's cold face, and at the same time, she chuckled in her heart and blurted out, "Why?" ”
Long Ping rubbed his hands and shook his head to look at her, "I think this thing seems to have a lot of similarities with the research of the 'Titan Project'. And, with all due respect, isn't your body the best proof? ”
"What?!"
Joyna was shocked!
She could barely believe her ears. How can this matter have anything to do with the "Titan Project" of the previous civilization?
And their own bodies...... Is the best evidence?
"From the analysis of the research results left by Dr. Su Zhe, there are some similarities between these viruses and the data used in the Titan Project, and the results after analysis are very similar, and Dr. Su has not explained why. But you know, I've been involved in similar studies after all, so I can still see some clues. ”
"But, wait a minute! He had told me about these things before, but why did he ...... at the time?"
Joyna choked in the middle of her words, she seemed to sense something strange in this, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what the connection was.
Long Ping pursed his lips and motioned for Joyna to follow.
The two of them then walked towards the back of the research room.
Along the way, Ryuhei explained to Joyna and expressed his thoughts on the matter.
"These viruses mutate so quickly that we don't have time to parse them. Before we can isolate the properties of each virus and understand its origin, they will devour most of the human cells and create new mutations, and I guess they can't wait for a change of taste. ”
"Change the taste? What does this mean? Joyna asked, puzzled.
"This is just my speculation, they are aimed at the recessive genes of living organisms, especially human genes, which is why they are called 'phagolytic cells'. According to my analysis, they may have existed more than just human bodies, one of the hosts of human knowledge. That's why I call it 'change of taste'. ”
"This is the first time I've heard of that."
"Not only that, but I also found some data in the research center that showed that their active energy is amazing. Moreover, the genes of these viruses are so old that you can't possibly know exactly when they existed. ”
"Ancient genes?" Joyna repeated it silently.
"If I'm not mistaken, these viruses are not native to our earth, at least after comparing the genetic data of various organisms that have always been there, I have not found any organisms that can have a similar accounting composition to them, and all kinds of data confirm this."
That is, they have been dormant for a long time, and it is impossible to tell where they came from. Perhaps they were used to destroy any civilization of an intelligent race across vast distances and countless centuries, I guess...... Alien bioweapons. ”
Long Ping pushed his glasses and said very seriously.
When Joyna heard Long Ping's words, her expression instantly petrified, and her heart beat wildly, roaring in her chest.
It's exactly the same!
This is so consistent with the feeling in her heart, it is a biological weapon!
That's right, that's the hidden meaning. For some reason, her mind kept avoiding the word.
As early as when Su Zhe explained the origin of "phagocytic cells", she felt that there seemed to be some key problem hidden between Su Zhe's hesitant words.
But Su Zhe cleverly covered up the past with jargon and words she didn't quite understand, and she was only concerned about what she cared about, and selectively filtered others.
Now, hearing Ryuhei bring up the topic again and say the word "Titan Project", Joyna felt that the long-buried questions in her heart suddenly came back to her heart.
"What else? What else do you think is out of the ordinary? Joynana asked.
Long Ping shook his head, stopped, held his glasses in his hand, and sighed, "I think we just got some reliable materials, data on the basis of this virus. Complex viruses are just triggers that induce changes in human bodies and genes. In fact, the seeds of these mutations have long been buried deep in human genes. ”
Joyna thought about it for a while, still hoping that Ryuhei could speak more thoroughly.
For Long Ping, it was already very straightforward to say this, but Joyna still couldn't understand it.
"In previous times, we had organized all known scientific understandings into a whole, but on the other hand, it was almost impossible to unify ideas beyond a small area of expertise, relying solely on the mind of one person."
"So, this ...... Only some of us have the courage to begin to synthesize facts and theories, to bring together knowledge from various disciplines, albeit with some second-hand and incomplete knowledge – and at the risk of self-deception......"
Joyna immediately expressed her understanding that every time a discipline breaks through, other sub-professional fields will benefit from it, and even new specialties will be born.
This progress of civilization stopped hundreds of years ago, and the present era has even regressed to the level of the Middle Ages.
But fortunately, the preserved flame of civilization has been found, and they, the survivors of the former civilization, still have a clear understanding, which means that it is possible to return to the furnace.
But Long Ping Rory said so much, what does it have to do with what he said before, the seeds buried deep in human genes?
"You're saying you can't give me answers with your expertise?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. You know, my field is in botany, other sciences are just involved, and the real authority is Dr. Su, who has so much research and I've never seen a researcher as obsessed with him. ”
"Oh, by the way, and the host who is incomprehensible to me. Well, he's amazing, far from being comparable to those of us. Long Ping added.
"Uh...... All right! ”
Joyna finally conceded defeat, realizing that there were some things that had to be asked to Su Zhe himself, and it seemed that Long Ping could not give a better and more conclusive answer.
Along the way, Ryuping also mentions the difficulties of constructing a unified picture of knowledge in his biological works on the origin of life.
Joyna didn't understand these things at all, but Ryuhei gushed all the way, and she just nodded silently.
He told Joyna that civilization had reached a stage where it overturned almost all the cognitive and scientific problems of the past thousand years.
