Chapter 16: The Cell Corps
Meng Lang, who was lying on the tatami mat, thought about the next evolution plan, and only closed his eyes after a long time did he enter the inner view again.
At this time, it was already the dead of night outside on the treetops of the moon, and the surroundings were quiet, and a gust of evening breeze with the fragrance of nightshade wafted into the room, which was refreshing!
But at the moment, he has no time to take care of this!
The modified cell hiding under the armpit seemed to be a little different from the daytime, it was rotating rapidly, and he was curious to zoom in and enter the inside of the cell.
I saw that the many electrons in it were moving violently around the atoms, making the entire cytoplasmic fluid seem to be boiling.
The Golgi complex, which is the transport and processing system in the cell, is at full capacity to break down proteins.
Then the many horses under his hand, a small guy called motor protein, transports various nutrients into the nucleus at full speed.
And mitochondria, known as the power factory, are not far behind at this time.
A large amount of micronutrients such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids are rapidly oxidized, and then continuously output energy to the whole cell, providing a powerful boost!
Suddenly, the elements inside the cell are suddenly increasing, and even the skeleton made up of protein molecular chains is constantly vibrating.
Meng Lang knew that the various visions that were happening inside the modified cell at this moment were the signs that a cell was about to have a division reaction.
Since he evolved the ability to see inside, he has observed the inside of his body many times, and he is extremely familiar with this kind of scene that is played out hundreds of billions of times every day in the human body!
Meng Lang tried to send a command to divide and replicate this modified cell!
Soon, DNA replication was complete.
I saw that this modified cell slowly split into two and split into two identical cells, and Meng Lang couldn't even tell which cell was the first!
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and controlled the two modified cells to turn around each other again and again, and then he gave up.
I didn't expect that the transformed cells, which had no response to this command during the day, would be so well-behaved and obedient at this time.
But just when Meng Lang wanted to continue to divide more cells while the iron was hot, the transformation of the cells gave him another blow to the head, no matter how he ordered these two cells not to continue to divide!
It was as if the street shops were hanging signs that were sold out today and welcomed back tomorrow, which made him extremely depressed!
After tossing and turning like this for a while, he fell into a deep sleep......
Meng Lang didn't go anywhere the next day, just waiting for night in the room.
The landlord and his wife thought he was sick, and asked him several times with concern. After he explained many times, he was relieved to leave!
During the day today, he tried to control the transformation of the cells again, but the facts told him that this was useless!
The sun is setting in the west, the tired birds are returning to their nests, and the night finally falls slowly in Meng Lang's anticipation and waiting for the autumn water!
It is said that the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel! Meng Lang felt that this sentence was extremely appropriate for him at this moment!
From the time night fell, he excitedly entered the inner vision, staring intently at the two modified cells, but until this time it was already 11 o'clock at night, and these two cells still did not move!
Is this special thing going to choose a good day before splitting?!
Meng Lang was a little stunned in an instant!
After holding his head and thinking for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly slapped his head, feeling that he was about to cry stupidly!
It turned out that I was so excited that I actually forgot to give the command to divide and replicate to the modified cells!
Sure enough, after the order was given. I saw that the two cells suddenly trembled, and then each split into a new cell, and he also had four modified cells!
Just like last night, after splitting once, no matter how he continued to give orders, these cells would never divide again.
In desperation, he commanded the four cells to hide, and then slowly withdrew from the inner vision.
After two days of exploration, Meng Lang basically mastered the division characteristics of the modified cells.
First of all, they do not divide during the day and can only replicate at night.
He estimates that this is most likely because the sun has gone to the other side of the earth at night, and the influence of various high-intensity rays such as ultraviolet rays on this side of the earth has weakened.
Therefore, some special cosmic rays can take the opportunity to enter the earth.
Or maybe these cosmic rays came from a planet tens of billions of light-years away, and they were set off before the Earth was formed.
After spanning tens of billions of years, it finally came to the earth and was absorbed by the modified cells, thus triggering the division of the modified cells!
Who knows, anyway, no matter what kind of cosmic rays they are, since they can penetrate the atmosphere and reach the earth's surface, they can be regarded as relatively powerful rays!
The second is that these modified cells do not divide and multiply on their own, and only act under his command.
This is also very much in line with the cell he envisioned at the beginning, a cell that belongs completely to himself and only obeys his own orders!
So this trip to the island country has come to a successful end!
Meng Lang took out his mobile phone and planned to book a ticket back to China, but he was told by the airline that due to the outbreak of a solar flare in recent days, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the whole route was suspended for three days!
There was no way, it seems that I will have to stay for a few more days.
But out of curiosity, Meng Lang also checked the origin of the solar flare on the Internet.
It turns out that a solar flare, also known as a solar storm, is a kind of solar activity that occurs in the chromosphere and coronal transition layer of the sun, a kind of local radiation electromagnetic band that suddenly increases violently.
Solar storms emit a wide variety of radiation, including ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma rays, as well as far-infrared and radio radiation, in addition to visible light.
There are also shockwaves, streams of high-energy particles, and even super-powerful cosmic rays with an energy level of extra-high!
These streams of charged particles are poured out by the sun on a large scale, instantly heated to 10 million degrees, and electrons, protons, and some heavy ions are accelerated to nearly the speed of light.
When a large number of energetic particles reach the vicinity of the Earth's orbit, they collide violently with molecules in the atmosphere.
Destroying the ionosphere in the Earth's atmosphere, making it lose its ability to reflect radio waves.
Radio communications, especially shortwave communications, including television stations, radio broadcasts, etc., will be interfered with or even interrupted!
As people rely more and more on high-tech technology, solar storms and coronal mass ejections have an increasingly negative impact on human life.
In the history of the United States, due to the electromagnetic impact of solar storms, it has caused various derivative disasters such as communication interruptions and power outages in most areas!
But fortunately, the level of solar storms is not very strong under normal circumstances, and people only need to pay a little attention to precautions, and this is also the case.
The next day, although the news said that the solar storm broke out, Meng Lang did not feel any difference.
Everyone is still the same as usual, what to do. It wasn't until the evening that he noticed the difference!
The four modified cells that had been hiding in the armpit were vibrating violently at the moment, and they seemed to be a little uneasy.
At the moment of his command, it was divided into two, then four into eight, then from eight to sixteen, then sixteen to thirty-two, and thirty-two to sixty-four......
Meng Lang was a little dumbfounded when he saw this incredible scene, but then he quickly reacted, and the whole person bounced up from the tatami mat and rushed out of the room.
Quickly went to the pharmacy across the street and bought something like glucose, vitamin mixes, trace element mixes, etc.
Then I went to a 24-hour store not far away and grabbed a large handful of chocolates and a plate of about 10 eggs.
When he returned to his room, he was like a hungry ghost, and when he opened his mouth to gobble up the things he had purchased.
Even the ten raw eggs were picked up casually, and when I raised my head and aimed it at my mouth, the eggshell was broken, and the egg white mixed with the egg yolk flowed into my throat with a hint of eggy smell!
It wasn't until the wind swept away everything in front of him that he stopped talking.
I believe that with the supplementation of these high-energy, high-nutrient foods, it is enough to cope with the large amount of material needs needed for the crazy division of those modified cells in the body!
Meng Lang entered the inner vision again, and the transformed cells were still violently dividing and replicating, and his eyes were pale blue, and he didn't know how many were divided!
After a long time, the frantic division speed of the cells gradually stabilized, and then slowly stopped!
In the end, Meng Lang counted it with excitement, and it probably increased the appearance of more than 300,000 transformed cells overnight.
He didn't expect that the seemingly unrelated solar storm would bring him such great benefits!
After three days, the total number of modified cells increased by more than a million units, and more than 10,000 of them seemed to be slightly different from other engineered cells.
The most intuitive feeling is that their colors seem to be a little deeper!
Except for the darker color, there doesn't seem to be much change in other aspects, but Meng Lang always feels that this part of the cell is a little different!
But for a moment he couldn't notice the difference between these few cells, so he had to put this thought aside.
After all these cells were settled and hidden, the airline also called, saying that flights have resumed and welcome to board!
Meng Lang booked a ticket by the way, but it may have been grounded for a few days, resulting in too many stranded passengers.
At present, there are no regular class tickets, so he has no choice but to book a business class ticket.
