Chapter 188: The Source of the Symbiote
"In fact, before you appeared, we didn't know what kind of traits the symbiote would show after it was completely fused with humans, and in the direction of symbiote research, you can say that it provides us with a very broad part of the vision." Klaus led Law through the passage of the experimental area.
"Mean, I haven't had a case of a human being fusing with a symbiote before me?" Law asked.
"That's not it, there are still cases, a total of forty-four years have passed since the year when the symbiote appeared in this world, and during this time, there are five known humans who have successfully fused with the symbiote." Klaus said.
"Five, so little?"
"Less? Hehe, five is already a lot, it took me nearly ten years, exhausted all the symbiotes in my inventory, and failed to create a successful fusion, and the appearance of five symbiote fusions in more than forty years is far beyond my expectations. Klaus shook his head.
Although Klaus summed up his research process in only a few words, Rowe could hear that these few sentences could summarize thousands of lives.
"And where are these five fused now?"
"Missing, all disappeared without a trace, the first case of fusion with the symbiote was just an accident, the surviving fusion showed a very high-speed regeneration ability like you, so the major scientific research institutions began to rush into this field of research, but they soon discovered that not everyone could fuse with the symbiote, and 99.9% of the experimental subjects were devoured and digested by the symbiote, and there was not even a bone residue left." Klaus said lightly: "As for those fusions, they may have been controlled by Adam Technology or those scientific research groups in Western Europe and East Asia, or they may have gone into hiding, and they have not been shown for many years. ”
"Eh, you said it's been forty-four years since the symbiote appeared, so where did this thing come from? Someone can't make it, right? Luo asked, looking at the clearly visible blood vessels on his wrist.
"Manufacturing? Looking at the level of human civilization as a whole, it may not be possible to create such a thing in another two hundred years. Klaus let out a sneer and said, "Symbiotes aren't anything that belongs to Earth at all. Forty-four years ago, a meteorite fell on the Libyan desert in Africa, and many agencies' space monitoring satellites were aware of the sudden visit of this thing, but after they arrived at the meteorite landing site, they found that it was not just a meteorite, the meteorite passed through the atmosphere, the shell burned, but the internal structure is still very intact. ”
"It's a meteorite again, how can it be as old-fashioned as the plot in the movie." Law pursed his lips.
"No way, that's the real situation." Klaus spread his hands and said: "Later, researchers found that the inside of the meteorite is actually a whole ecosystem, and there are many live microorganisms in it that do not belong to the earth. ”
"Extraterrestrial life?" Luo squinted, "The more I listen to it, the more it looks like a science fiction movie, did you survive and successfully evolve into Godzilla or something?" Eh, I see, the creatures upstairs that exist in the enclosed cabin can't be ......"
"That's not it, those sealed creatures have nothing to do with physical life, they're all ...... Native Earth Monster. Klaus shook his head and denied: "But the microorganisms in the meteorite all died out not long after being exposed to the air, and it is speculated that these organisms are not oxygen-resistant, but the living environment they rely on is well preserved." ”
"Symbiote?" Law asked.
"Yes, the symbiont wasn't originally called a symbiont, the researchers thought it was a liquid environment that those microbes needed to survive." Klaus nodded and said, "At that time, the researchers only wanted to collect more residues of those inactivated microorganisms for research. But soon, when a researcher's mistake in mining the meteorite and extracting the symbiote caused the symbiote to enter his bloodstream and merge, the researcher began to realize that the value of the thing could be far greater than that of the dead microbes......"
"The first person to come into contact with the symbiote fused successfully?" The corners of Luo's mouth twitched.
"Luck, isn't it?" Klaus said with a wry smile: "After nearly ten years of research, there have been countless people who have been devoured and melted by the symbiote in front of me, and I even began to doubt that the success of the symbiote's fusion has nothing to do with the data fit, it is completely a matter of luck, and the formal fusion process requires extremely harsh experimental conditions, temperature, air pressure, and static electricity...... Any subtle factor must be taken into account, even if you strive for excellence, you have only succeeded in fusing four people in forty-four years, and you and the first case actually injected the symbiote into their own blood indiscriminately, and then successfully fused like this, which is completely unreasonable in theory. ”
"Huh." Luo Gan smiled.
He is not very interested in science, and in his opinion, these people who have reached the forefront of research in a certain field will have some problems in their minds.
"At that time, not many people in the research field knew about the fused person, but those in the know knew very well that the symbiote brought a terrifying mutation to that person, and his regeneration rate was close to the effect described in the myth, and it was rumored that some researchers' entire outlook on life and worldview was distorted, from scientists to believers in God, shouting every day that this was a gift from God......" Klaus said this, his face was full of disdain, "Of course, they can't be blamed, after all, more than forty years ago, The level of technology of human beings is far from what it is now, and it is difficult for them to figure out the mechanism of the operation of symbiotes, in fact, they have not figured it out until now, but at least we have figured out the direction of research. ”
Klaus led Law into a laboratory.
He continued, "Back then, many people in the know were crazy about becoming a 'god' like the first fused, after all, immortality has been a long-cherished wish of mankind since ancient times. ”
"So they were the first subjects to verify the ultra-low fusion rate of symbionts." Luo said.
"That's right, that's pretty much it, those people are crazy to inject themselves with symbiotes, and then they all go to see their gods." Klaus said lightly.
"And the next four cases of fusion were all born from thousands of experimental bodies under strict experimental control."
"A lot of people have to die, right?" Law asked.
Klaus nodded
"A lot."
