Chapter 98: Race against Time

(PS: Say two questions, 1, I promised to add more on the weekend last week, there are too many trivial things, I will choose a day to add more, I owe you a chapter, sorry; 2. Regarding the security issues mentioned in the book review, security is definitely there, a company must hire security, cleaning, gardener, plumber and other positions, I went straight to the main plot, these things are not specifically described in the article, it is my negligence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info will be added later, thank you for your suggestions, complain in the book review area, as long as it's not personal attacks and brainless spray, I welcome it. Continue to ask for favorites, recommendations, and rewards! )

Looking at the analysis of the slice of the dead Ino, Shen Huai's head was big.

According to Shen Huai's original design for Ino, the chance of Inno being infected on land is 0, which is why Shen Huai is so confident in it.

But if someone has some information about Inno, knows the origin of some of its genes, and then passes through the ......

Shen Huai's heart moved!

Seaweed!

The most important of the parasitic chlorophyll is chlorophyll X, which is formed after extracting the seaweed gene and cultivating the modified gene in the laboratory.

Shen Huai once again used a microscope to examine Ino's slices, all of Ino's cellulose stiffened and lost its past vitality, and all the chlorophyllin died, turning into a withered golden yellow.

Shen Huai carefully peeled off these stiff fibers, the fibers were very brittle, and they would be completely broken with a slight touch.

Shen Huai added a few drops of normal saline to the slices, these fibers will not be broken immediately under the action of normal saline, but they still have no vitality.

Shen Huai knew in his heart that if the seaweed was invaded by the seaweed virus, the same situation would occur, but even ordinary seaweed viruses could not infect Ino, whose genes had been modified.

Thinking at an impasse, Shen Huai checked the RNA form of the virus again, to be precise, the form of ssRNA. ssRNA viruses, once the RNA in the viral particle enters the host cell, directly acts as mRNA, translating the encoded protein, which includes the capsid protein and the RNA polymerase of the virus. The viral RNA is then replicated under the action of viral RNA polymerase, and finally the viral RNA and capsid proteins self-assemble into mature viral particles. As long as the infected cells do not die, division does not stop.

To put it simply, ssRNA replication is the use of the material and energy of the host cell to synthesize viral biological macromolecules, the replication cycle is short, and the reproduction efficiency is very high. This is also the main reason why lemons have a short time from infection to death.

In a short period of time, Shen Huai could not know which part of the genes the other party had changed, and it would take a lot of time to conduct a detailed examination of RNA with sufficient experimental equipment, conduct a detailed comparative analysis of each pair of bases, and then screen out the changes in them.

Don't say that the current conditions don't allow it, even if the conditions allow time, it won't wait for anyone!

Shen Huai's fingers kept clicking on the table, and his thoughts went back to when he was in college, when he worked in a coastal city during the summer vacation, and it was at that time that he began to search for and peel suitable seaweed as research samples.

I remember that the El Niño phenomenon was particularly serious that year, and the seaweed multiplied in large quantities and disorderly, and to put it bluntly, it was the season when the seaweed could be fed by soaking in urine.

After the seaweed blooms, due to the serious pollution of the coastal industrial areas, as the weather turns cold, a large number of seaweed is invaded by seaweed viruses, and in a short time the seaweed becomes yellow, then turns black, and cannot photosynthesize, and then dies.

At that time, the environmental protection department was very happy, and the seaweed died naturally without spending money to salvage the seaweed, and then continued to report to the top, and could also apply for salvage funds to be put into the small treasury. However, among these seaweeds, there is a red algae that seems to have natural immunity to seaweed viruses, and all the algae such as cyanobacteria and green algae die because of the seaweed virus, but this red algae has nothing to do with it.

Another way of thinking is that there is a natural antiviral factor in the genes of these red algae!

But then there is a problem, most of the red algae grow in the ocean, widely distributed, there are many species, about 558 genera, more than 3,740 species, even the seaweed that is usually eaten is one of them.

If you want to find out the antiviral factors among the more than 3,000 kinds, it will take years and months.

But......

'Click! ’

Shen Huai broke the ballpoint pen in his hand, and the latitude of New York seemed to be similar to Huludao, where he worked! From a biological point of view, the same type of species usually appear in places with the same latitude!

"Howard! Howard! Shen Huai got up and shouted to the store manager.

Howard also stayed up late and was asleep on the table at this time.

After being woken up by Shen Huai, Howard rubbed his eyes and asked in a bit of confusion, "What does the boss command?" ”

Shen Huai ordered: "No matter what method you use, no matter how much it costs, immediately organize people to go to the seaside and aquatic products store to find seaweed, and ask for red algae!" See what I mean? ”

Howard was yelled at by Shen Huai and woke up for seven or eight minutes at random, but he was looking for seaweed at night......

Shen Huai saw that Howard was hesitating, and shouted again: "Immediately, act immediately!" If you find red algae, send it to me immediately, remember to ask for red algae! ”

Howard muttered, "It's winter, and I don't know if there's one by the sea." ”

"If you don't, go to the fish shop, and the boss has to wake me up when it's closed! Otherwise, you won't want to do this job! ”

Where can I find a job with an annual salary of $300,000?

Howard hurriedly promised: "Boss, I'll do it right away!" ”

Shen Huai, who finished yelling, didn't know that the sweat had soaked his clothes, his face was red and hot, and if he checked his body temperature, he was already in a severe high fever at this time.

Jack (the guy who slept until midnight when he was awakened by Carl's call) braved the cold and flashed his torch to the slum where he threw out his garbage.

"F**K, it's really bad luck to come out in the middle of the night to find garbage, what kind of enjoyment would it be if you were to sleep in the bed of a big nai woman now."

Jack scolded, thinking that the fat pig Carl must be playing with the woman now, and his heart was even more unhappy, "Let us do all this dirty work, and you will take money to enjoy it every day." ”

Soon, Jack's dream comes true, and in the narrow alleys of the slums, a black woman with plump breasts and fat buttocks stands under cheap lights to solicit business.

"HI, BOY, COME OVER AND HAVE FUN."

Jack glared at the black woman viciously and scolded, "Get out of the way!" ”

In winter, the temperature at night is very low, and the movement of molecules is reduced, but the stench of the garbage dump is still strong.

Jack flipped on the ground with a flashlight in one hand and a stick in the other, "Shet! Where are the corpses, where can I find them in such darkness! What a bad luck! ”

Got it?

In the dark night, Jack couldn't see clearly, and when he saw a corpse in the garbage heap, he excitedly picked it up and looked closely, and the result was a dead dog that was highly decomposed.

"Bad luck!" Jack was sick to his stomach and vomited all the burgers he had eaten that afternoon.

The black stumbling woman stood in the doorway and looked at Jack, who was behaving strangely, and wondered, what is this tall and lanky white man overturning here at such a late hour, still eating garbage?

This man doesn't look like a garbage picker, even if he digs through the garbage heaps of the garbage slums, what is the value? It can't be a neuropathy, right?

The woman patted her chest, glad that she didn't do his business, and she couldn't help but bite her big nai and eat it!

She shook her head, it's really strange that people are now, a bunch of people rummaging through the garbage in the afternoon, and now there is another one.

After looking for more than half an hour, Jack, who couldn't stand the stench, had to admit that he was unlucky, and he couldn't find Lemon's body, so he had to go to the store tomorrow to buy a random one. It's better to have some blood than to be cleaned up by Carl.

"This stinks BiaoZi! Dead fat pig! Jack angrily threw the stick in his hand to the ground, and had to pour the money for nothing, he was so depressed that he had to go back, and if he didn't go back, he couldn't go all night in the garbage heap, right?

The black woman looked through the window at Jack as he departed, and was even more sure that there was something wrong with his brain.
