In the face of the teacher's inquiry, Mo Xiangsheng seemed to have forgotten what he had said before, and only said in a daze: "I'm hungry and want to eat." ”

Dr. Huang Yuan resisted the desire to strangle his students, took out a large handful of jerky from his pocket and put it in front of Mo Xiangsheng, Mo Xiangsheng tore open the package, and ate it with relish. The scientists looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the conference room became eerie and heavy.

Just when Dr. Huang Yuan's patience was about to be exhausted, Mo Xiangsheng wiped his mouth, swept the packaging bag on the table to the ground, and said indifferently: "Based on the previous calculation method on particle characteristics, although it cannot be transmitted to the vicinity of the star due to its short half-life, it must have a certain probability of self-decay into another dark matter particle, and the particle has similar characteristics to the original particle. This probability is about 1 in 170,000. The particle has a long half-life and can directly invade the interior of galaxies. ”

One scientist asked, somewhat surprised, "How did you deduce it?" Is there a detailed formula for calculating it? ”

Mo Xiangsheng casually opened a virtual interface, used his finger as a pen, and quickly sketched on it. With the movement of Mo Xiangsheng's fingers, a series of formulas that were extremely complex to the extreme, and the formulas that had to be calculated and verified with the help of high-performance computers in the past appeared smoothly in the virtual interface. Some people showed thoughtful looks, but many more just looked blank. Only Dr. Huang Yuan's body began to tremble constantly, and cold sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.

Mo Xiangsheng wrote for more than ten minutes to finish the calculation process, and there was no sound in the conference room at this moment.

"I'm hungry, do I still have jerky?"

Dr. Huang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered outside the conference room, "Bring the jerky." ”

A waiter hurriedly put some jerky in front of Mo Xiangsheng, and then retreated. Mo Xiangsheng acted as if nothing had happened, and began to gobble down the food in front of him again.

Dr. Huang Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally pulled up a virtual interface and began to verify himself on it. Some of the rest of the scientists are still pondering, and some are starting to calculate.

After more than an hour, Dr. Huang Yuan stopped his movements and leaned back in his chair a little weakly, but did not speak. That was until the slightly frightened voice of another scholar broke the silence in the conference room.

"The calculation of the elephant sound is completely correct. This dark matter particle – if our premise is correct, if it does exist and is consistent with our existing theories, it can indeed affect space near stars. We thought that the Phoenix Galaxy was a safe haven that would allow us to hide from this dark matter particle, but we were wrong, we were all wrong......"

Dr. Huang Yuan's forehead was bruised: "We can't be sure of this yet, pay attention, all this only exists in our calculations, only in calculations!" In reality, we haven't even confirmed the existence of dark matter! ”

One scholar whispered: "Our calculations have been verified time and time again, and in this case, there is no point in denying the existence of dark matter." ”

"This is beyond our purview. We have to report it to the Führer......"

Biochemistry Laboratory, Academy of Life Sciences.

Although the resources and strength available to Wang Hao have been greatly enhanced, even hundreds or thousands of times more than before, what makes Wang Hao and his experts a little desperate is that the research on the treatment of this disease has not made progress for a long time.

Further research has led to the possibility of dark matter particles, or the magical power that has not yet been fully understood, to be more than simply destroying genes or making genetic duplication errors. It seems to be able to alter the physical properties of certain substances in living beings, and allow them to affect the composition of living organisms continuously. It is because of this that it is so tricky and difficult to treat.

The wisdom of many experts and scholars has been gathered, but during this period of time, only one progress has been made that cannot be regarded as progress - symptomatic treatment can be adopted for atypical gene mutation syndrome, that is, the patient has any symptoms, which aspect of treatment is carried out. For example, if you are dehydrated, you will be rehydrated, if you have heart failure, if you can't hear you, if you can't hear you, you will be replaced with a cochlear implant, and so on. When all the symptomatic treatments are ineffective, you can only watch the patient die.

These problems were enough to make Wang Hao anxious, but what Wang Hao didn't expect was that more serious and bad things would happen later.

A document was forwarded to Wang Hao's desk as quickly as possible. On top of that document, the instructions left by Shen Qingyuan, the head of state, personally revealed the importance of this document. Wang Hao opened the document with some trembling, and saw a news that he was most unwilling to see.

The latest research by Dr. Huang Yuan's team has found that the dark matter particles are very likely to have an impact on life in the stellar sphere. The Ministry of Health, the Academy of Life Sciences, and the Biochemical Laboratory are hereby ordered to immediately join forces to investigate all the people in the entire civilization and immediately verify the ......"

Surveying hundreds of billions of people across civilizations is a huge undertaking, but people have to do it. It's better to grasp a hidden danger at the earliest moment of its appearance than to wait for it to erupt before people find out.

The document also specifically stated that the investigation will be carried out under the premise of high confidentiality. After all, no one wants to let a society that is already boiling with public opinion suffer the impact of bad news again. The health authorities and the epidemic prevention authorities have joined forces to collect specimens – in the name of health check-ups or routine check-ups, of course. After the specimens are collected, the Institute of Life Sciences, the health department, and the epidemic prevention department will organize forces to analyze the hundreds of billions of specimens, and feed back the final results to the biochemical laboratory led by Wang Hao for final processing.

Putting down this document, the heaviness in Wang Hao's heart increased a little more.

"If we lose even the last safe haven, what will our future hold? Could it be that our ultimate destiny is really to die quietly in this vast universe? ”

Humanity is too strong, and humanity is too weak. Humanity is powerful enough to change the world, enough to travel faster than light, enough to transform an entire planet. But humanity can't even solve a single disease, just a cloud of interstellar dust that is common in the universe, and it makes humanity helpless.

Humans know too much and too little. Human beings even know the origin of the universe, the evolution of the universe, and the ultimate fate of the universe, but they do not even know the interaction between gamma-ray bursts and dark matter, and the specific structure and composition of dark matter.

"This is us humans, this is our human ......"

Wang Hao sighed silently and threw himself into his busy work again.

With the direct organization and intervention of the government, 80 percent of the large-scale specimen collection involving all human beings was completed in just about a month. The remaining 20 percent will be completed in the coming period. However, the number of specimens is sufficient, and it doesn't really matter if there is that 20% or not.

After the genetic analysis is completed, a team of computer experts dedicated to analyzing and retrieving the data is led to the biochemical laboratory. So Wang Hao and his colleagues began to analyze these data.

The most basic analysis results were actually obtained in the previous step. The health authorities and epidemic prevention departments have confirmed that nearly 97.6 percent of the approximately 80 billion people who have obtained specimens have detected abnormal genetic mutations in their bodies, which are very similar to genetic mutation syndrome, but the degree is very mild, even far from being perceptible, and there is a high probability that they will not develop the disease throughout their lives. In other words, without this investigation, the vast majority of people would have carried these abnormal genes until the end of their lives without knowing anything.

Only about 1 in 270,000 people will have mild symptoms due to genetic mutations, but they will improve quickly. One in every 16 million people will suffer from a serious disease of unknown origin that cannot be cured, and one in every 200 million people will die from it.

Although this has proved the correctness of the theory proposed by Huang Yuan's team, that is, the dark matter particles will indeed affect the interior of galaxies, but as Wang Hao said, physics belongs to physics, and medicine belongs to medicine. It is Wang Hao's responsibility to continue to test and analyze these samples and confirm whether they will affect the human race.

The final analysis results made Wang Hao and his colleagues feel heavy again.

"These mutant genes do not affect the carrier himself, but they can affect the next generation. In our civilization, under normal circumstances, 100 million babies are born every year. Of course, since entering the interstellar escape phase, the birth rate has dropped significantly. It is currently stable at about 50 million babies per year. Among them, three years ago, the average malformation rate of babies was 3 per 10,000. But I noticed that from two years ago, the infant malformation rate had risen rapidly to 7 per 10,000 and last year it had risen to 1.5 per 1,000. This means that every year, more than 70,000 deformed babies are added to our civilization. I remember that the medical community held many meetings to discuss and study the reasons for the rapid increase in the rate of infant malformations, but each time it was fruitless, but I did not expect that the original cause was actually here. ”

"At this rate, after only a few hundred years, there will be no healthy next generation in our civilization......
