NO.128 QUEEN PREGNANT
After that, Zhang Heng closed the B7-2 biological laboratory again, and liquid nitrogen has been injected into the laboratory to maintain ultra-low temperature, ensuring that the alien queen will not thaw and wake up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Heng and Yuehua opened the B7-3 laboratory, and used hundreds of engineering clones to start the transformation of the No. 3 laboratory, transforming this laboratory into a biological laboratory dedicated to the detention of aliens.
Three days later, Lab B7-3 was renovated, and the lab's three workshops were opened, and a biocontainment chamber dedicated to the Alien Queen was welded to one side of the wall.
The isolation room is still made of polymerized gold tempered glass as the wall and observation window, but the number of layers is increased again, and finally the observation window is thickened to three meters without affecting the line of sight, like a copper wall!
Inside the cell, a cage-like device made up of hydraulic arms and springs, the frozen queen was transported and locked to these tongs and shackles.
The cage is made of tungsten gold, which is known as 'titanium alloy flexibility + sapphire hardness at the same time', and is one of the hardest alloys that human beings can find today.
The hardness of tungsten gold is between 8-9m on the Mohs scale, which is close to 10m of natural diamonds, 5 times that of stainless steel and 4 times that of titanium alloys, and it will hardly wear out!
After special process treatment, tungsten gold has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the tensile strength at room temperature is between 1100~1200MPa, which can reach the strength of high-strength titanium alloy.
This is also the best material that Zhang Heng can find, in order to be more safe, Zhang Heng also coated a layer of high-density anti-corrosion paint on tungsten gold.
After waiting for three days, Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai received the instruction to enter the B7 layer again, which made people run to the B7 layer almost non-stop, facing the alien, a strange creature that had never been seen before, and even subverted biology, the two biologists had unparalleled fanaticism.
"Lab B7-3?" Kong Zhongcai looked at the information from Yuehua, the B7-3 laboratory was diagonally opposite the No. 2 where they worked before, and there were a total of four laboratories on the entire B7 floor, which was very easy to find.
The two came to the door of the No. 3 laboratory with anticipation, entered their own identity information, and watched the door of the laboratory open, only to find that they did not need to be disinfected to enter the laboratory.
"Indeed, there is a biological isolation room, and we are not studying viruses and other organisms, as long as they are not in the same room, there is indeed no need for disinfection and isolation." Feng Lun said.
When the two of them entered the door, they saw that the laboratory was much larger, with a large hall-like area, bright light, and a window on the side of the wall - the window is a decoration, which also contains virtual 3D projection technology, looking out of the window glass, you can also see the high-rise buildings outside the window, the sun is shining, as if you are really in a skyscraper.
Seven or eight experimenters were writing and drawing outside the observation window, recording something, but none of these could attract the attention of the two, and they all looked at the huge observation window formed by the entire wall for the first time, and inside the observation window, there was a huge alien queen who was locked and fixed with limbs and neck, almost hanging in mid-air!
This alien queen is thirteen meters long, and her tail alone is seven meters long, and the unique knuckle tail of the alien exudes explosive power, but the tip of the tail is also locked, and it can't swing its power at all.
The queen's huge body was constantly struggling in mid-air, and through the sound equipment, everyone could clearly hear the deafening roar of dissatisfaction of the big guy.
"Great, so that even if you enter the isolation room, you won't be afraid of being attacked!" After Feng Lun saw this scene, he immediately clapped his hands excitedly, "I have long wanted to touch this big guy!" ”
At this time, Zhang Heng had just entered the laboratory, and couldn't help but pout after hearing Feng Lun's words, it is estimated that only scientists like them can still show the brilliance of a child seeing a toy after seeing the alien.
"I advise you two not to do this." Zhang Heng said helplessly, "I'm not sure if this device can lock it yet, many data show that the aliens have a high intelligence after evolving into queens, and they will even set traps, in case this is a trap, it would be bad." ”
"It's okay! If tungsten can't lock it, there won't be anything in this world that can trap it. Feng Lun waved his hand and glanced at Zhang Heng unhappily.
Facing Feng Lun, who was arguing with strong words, Zhang Heng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't speak anymore.
"What is our next step in the experiment, and do you have a plan?" Kong Zhong was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Heng, so he changed the topic and said, "This creature is full of treasures, and we will definitely find a way to study it thoroughly." ”
"The next step is to find a way to make it lay an ovipositor." Zhang Heng became solemn at this time, snapped his fingers as he spoke, and suddenly, on a hanging screen on the wall of the laboratory, Yuehua's figure suddenly appeared.
"That's right, Xenomorph is a herhenogenetic viviparous creature that doesn't need to mate to reproduce the next generation, but only the queen has the right to reproduce the next generation."
Everyone showed a solemn look and turned their heads to look at the screen, as long as they reached the B4 security level of the Foundation, they could know about Yuehua's existence. Of course, they only know that Yuehua is an intelligent life that can shuttle through the network, but they don't know that Yuehua's real ability is actually to manipulate human brains!
Yuehua may be a little sluggish in terms of emotion, but in terms of logic and knowledge, it is encyclopedic, and even Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai, two internationally renowned scientists, dare not say that Yuehua's logic is problematic.
"Alien is a completely metamorphosed creature, the first is through the four stages of egg, face-hugging worm, parasitic embryo, and adult, and the queen is the fifth stage, also known as the evolutionary stage or atavistic stage, which is generally not counted among them." Yuehua spoke on the screen.
"However, in order to reproduce, the queen must grow a tissue called an ovipositor in her abdomen. This tissue is not a chitin exoskeleton like the body, but a purely muscular and fatty tissue structure. This tissue is connected to the queen's abdomen, and can even swell up to seven or eight meters in diameter during the oviposition period, just like a termite queen, whose ovipositor can even exceed its own body. ”
"However, if you want the queen to enter the spawning stage, the first thing is not to disturb the queen. Because this ovipositor is an extracorporeal tissue, in a life-threatening moment, the queen can choose to break free of the ovipositor and run away or fight. Once freed, the queen will become the deadliest killer of the entire lair! ”
Yuehua finally concluded, "So, our next plan is to let the queen take the initiative to give birth to an ovipositor, and then we can start to solve the mystery of the alien from the most basic structure of the alien egg." ”
Feng Lun originally wanted to argue with reason, but Zhang Heng replied to his suggestion without hesitation, and in the end, Feng Lun had to sigh and temporarily give up his desire to touch the queen at close range.
But in the next three days, everyone tried many methods, but they could not make the queen lay any signs of laying eggs. Not only that, after it was hung in the air and locked, it didn't even eat anymore, even if the clone who maintained the alien isolation room used an upside-down robotic arm to deliver food to the queen's mouth, the queen only turned her head arrogantly, or she directly attacked the robotic arm in a rage, but she just didn't eat food.
This bitter alien queen, he meowed and went on a hunger strike......
Zhang Heng's expression was very weird, and Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai were even more weird, this alien queen actually knew how to go on a hunger strike to protest?
After five or six days of hunger strike, the two of them finally got anxious, and began to stir the meat into a paste and forcibly poured it into the queen's mouth, this method really worked, but after two or three days of hard stuffing, the alien queen's stomach swelled.
After a week, a yellowish sarcoma began to grow on the alien's abdomen, and over the next few days, the sarcoma tissue became more and more swollen and long, like the abdomen of a termite......
Probably this is a sign that the alien queen is pregnant. (To be continued.) )
