Chapter 218: Virus Testing
Genetic tuning is the same as human transformation of machines, which is one of the most basic means of biological civilization, and in terms of the perfection of monster genes, colonist civilization should have carried out genetic tuning of monsters many times. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, there are all kinds of planetary environments in this universe, and it is impossible for one gene to adapt to all environments, but monsters that can't adapt to all environments are defective, so Xiao Li guessed that the colonizer civilization was constantly debugging genes.
It's like the system of Microsoft Corporation on Earth.
When it was tested, it looked perfect, but when it was actually put into operation, it was full of bugs, so Microsoft had to keep patching to fix the bugs.
"The barrel theory and the anti-barrel theory seem to be the clustering of the barrel theory to gain the advantage, just like on Earth." Xiao Li muttered, on the earth, the barrel theory is famous, but the reputation of the anti-barrel theory is much smaller, and now it is the same here, the cluster of the barrel theory has gained an advantage, and the anti-barrel theory has been shelved.
The reason is very simple, it's true that aliens are excellent creatures, and it's true that they can absorb the genetic modification of organisms, but can't monsters? There is a monster behind the civilization to serve, as long as it meets excellent genes, will it not be added to its own genes?
And......
How many aliens are there? How many monsters are there? The creatures encountered on both sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all, although it is somewhat unfair to compare a civilization with a race, but where is the fairness in the universe?
Is it fair that a civilization born tens of millions of years ago is a civilization born thousands of years ago? When the Dark Forest Strike came, did the alien civilization and the Earth civilization say that it was fair? No, not at all, the weak will be attacked, and those who can't hide themselves will be hit, this is the main theme of the universe.
"Newton, do you have a destructive virus here?" Xiao Li observed the flesh and blood of the monster again, "I want to test the damage of the virus to the monster genes again, after all, for monsters, the earth is a new environment, if there is a virus that can destroy the monster genes, then it must be out of the earth." ”
"Haven't you already tested it?" Newton turned around and walked over to his lab table for a few moments, then placed a test tube filled with blue liquid, "This is the HIV virus, probably the strongest virus on the planet." ”
HIV virus, also known as human immunodeficiency virus, is a virus that specifically targets the human immune system, once it kills the immune system, various viruses will drive straight into the human body, causing great damage to the human body, so it is not the most powerful virus, but it is definitely the most destructive virus, at least for the human body.
"I tested for highly contagious viruses, but those viruses failed without exception." Xiao Li took the HIV virus from Newton, "So I'm going to try a very destructive virus, and if it doesn't work, I'll test a mix of multiple viruses." ”
The mixture of multiple viruses often causes greater harm to the human body, although there is a saying in China that the virus is used to fight the virus, but it is more worse, and those complications are often caused by the mixed virus.
"But if you do this, even if you destroy the monster's genes, it won't be useful." Newton wondered, what is the less contagious virus for? Is it possible to catch a monster and inject the virus? If you do that, you might as well kill the monsters one by one.
"You're misunderstood, Newton." Xiao Li smiled and injected the HIV virus into the monster's genes.
"Misunderstood?" Newton stood still, "Where?" ”
"Understanding the virus."
Xiao Li carefully observed the effect of the HIV virus, he didn't need the HIV virus to infect this small piece of meat, in fact, it was impossible, he just needed to see if the HIV virus could destroy the monster's genes, as long as he showed the ability to destroy, he would continue in this direction, scientific experiments are like this, as long as they succeed once, even if it is just accidental, it means that success is not far away.
"The virus is not as simple as you think."
"Viruses are very adaptable, and they often mutate when you don't pay attention, and their mutations are designed to better attack cells, whether they are human or other organisms."
"And we can take the initiative to induce the virus to mutate."
"Actively induce viral mutations?"
"Yes." Xiao Li said: "The virus is not a constant layer, the current HIV virus is not strong but it does not mean that the mutated HIV virus is not very infectious, even if the mutated HIV virus is not very infectious, but it does not mean that the HIV virus is not infectious after the second mutation and the third mutation. ”
"As long as the HIV virus can infect the cells of the monsters, we can find a way to induce the HIV virus to mutate into a super-infectious virus, and then release it...... Well, I don't think so, the HIV virus can't invade the monster's cells at all. ”
Xiao Li raised his head and shook it, "Give me the other viruses, I'll try it." ”
"Isn't it okay with HIV?" Newton found a few more viruses from his laboratory table and handed them to Xiao Li, "Not even the HIV virus, I'm afraid these viruses can't either!" ”
The HIV virus is the most destructive virus in his hands, and other viruses can't compare with the HIV virus in terms of destructiveness.
"Try it!" Xiao Li injected the virus into the cells one by one, "The genes of monsters are not the same as those of humans, and in terms of DNA composition, the genes of monsters are much stronger than those of humans...... Although I'm trying now, it's the kind of blind cat that meets a dead mouse, and it doesn't matter if you don't touch it, anyway, the main force is your research. ”
"That's right."
Xiao Li paused, "Those pieces of meat, how are you researching?" ”
He was referring to the pieces of meat from the base of the colonists' civilizations.
"Just what you saw." Newton shrugged, "Although we know some of the structures, it's not much progress. He took a piece of paper and glanced at it and said, "What is currently determined is that the base of the colonizer civilization has a very large brain. ”
"Judging from the fragments, the brain of that base is much larger than that of humans, but how much, according to the computerized reduction map, 123,000 grams, which is equivalent to the weight of 100 Einstein, and interestingly, from the computer reduction map, it has some of the same characteristics as Einstein's brain."
Newton walked over to the computer and tapped on the keyboard a few times, showing a restored picture of the computer, and then stepped aside to show Xiao Li, "For example, this." ”
"This is a monster brain restored by the computer, which is similar to the brain structure of ordinary humans, but the interesting thing is that there are some strange features in these structures, such as the groove gyrus pattern on the parietal lobe area on both sides of the brain."
Newton pointed to the reduced chart, "On top of that, I've found that the brain alone doesn't have the complete picture. ”
"What's going on?" Xiao Li's pupils dilated slightly, "Why is this?" ”
The structure of the brain is beyond human imagination, and the lack of a certain piece of the brain does not affect the storage of information, which also makes why some scientists put forward the holographic theory of the universe, but now this argument has been broken, and there is a brain that does not have complete information storage.
Even though this brain is the brain of a monster.
"I don't know why." Newton shook his head, "That's where I'm confused. ”
"But I made a small discovery."
He raised his hand and operated on the computer a few times, and the reduction map in the computer rotated, and a dot popped up in the center, "This point is the brain I studied, but the information it stores is incomplete, but when I compare the information of another piece of brain with it, I find that there is a certain correlation between them, no, to be precise, continuity." ”
"It's like a sentence being divided into countless words, but when the words are combined, they form a coherent structure, which is not like a human brain, but rather a human creation."
"Computer."
A word popped out of Xiao Li's mouth, too similar, too similar, the monsters in the base are like hard disks and memory in the computer, storing a large amount of information, as long as a certain place is destroyed, it will lead to the loss of information.
"The brain of the base created by the colonizer civilization is actually a massive supercomputer, and it is also a biological computer...... I should have thought of it a long time ago. Xiao Li muttered.
He had been to the Soul Network, and he had also likened monsters to computer terminals, bases to hosts, and the connections between them to local area networks, and even he had thought that the base of monsters stored a huge amount of information, but he never thought that the place where the base stored information was actually a huge biological computer.
"Also, only a computer can store such a huge amount of information, and only a computer can destroy a piece of brain and affect the storage of the entire information, as Newton said."
"I should have thought a long time ago, if humans still made computers, why couldn't colonizer civilization make computers? Biological computers are also computers, and in terms of computing speed, they may not be lower than those of mechanical civilization. ”
"It's just a metaphor that a monster is a computer terminal, but the base is definitely not a metaphor, it's a possible reality, but now this may have to be crossed out."
"It's a biocomputer, indeed." Newton said: "And if the information you have gathered is not wrong, then this colonist civilization is really remarkable." ”
"They only need one base, they can conquer a planet, and I don't know how many bases they have, if the number of bases is small, it's fine, but if the number is large, it's definitely a disaster for the earth."
The base itself, which integrates manufacturing and operation, is the strongest platform for warfare.
It's like an aircraft carrier, it has no combat effectiveness, but the bombers on board will definitely make people feel frightened, not to mention that the base can also create monsters, it is equivalent to an aircraft carrier that can make bombers in a steady stream, across the sea, who can be the enemy?
Such an aircraft carrier can still concentrate superior firepower to take out, but with a large number, who dares to say that they are sure to win?
It's not just a lot, it's a frightening number!
But Xiao Li didn't say this, "There will definitely not be many such bases, not only will they not be many but they will be very rare, so don't worry." ”
In a way, he wasn't lying.
The reason is very simple, there are many bases of colonist civilizations, but there is only one base to invade this planet, and their main force is never on Earth.
Xiao Li, who didn't want to say more about this, immediately changed the topic, "Is there a way to crack this technology?" ”
"Technology? You mean biocomputers? ”
"It's network technology." Xiao Li shook his head, what he fancied was not the computing speed of the biological computer itself, to be honest, although the structure of the brain is complex, it may not be able to surpass the computer in terms of computing speed, although the creation of this biological computer is a colonial civilization.
He is more interested in the soul network.
This kind of network is similar to the quantum network, both have the characteristics of spanning time and space and distance, and Xiao Li even suspects that the soul network is a network created based on the quantum network.
If the technology can be cracked and brought back, the earth will no longer need to think about the problem of communication delay, and the speed of the earth's exploration of outer space will be accelerated again.
"Do you remember what I said to you? Monsters share a consciousness, and their connection is in some way trans-space-time, and I want to get that technology. ”
"Probably not." Newton stared at the computer, his fingers moving, "The monster's brain doesn't record the one you said, but it's possible that the data translated by my computer is incomplete." ”
"I have already applied to the United Nations for the use of supercomputers...... I think with the computing power of a supercomputer, I think I can read the information contained in the monster's brain. ”
"But what strikes me as strange is that this read is a little too smooth."
"Originally, according to my guess, we should have recompiled and matched the language and text of the monster, but somehow, we didn't need to go through this step."
During the Age of Discovery, the first people to arrive in the New World were very difficult to communicate with the natives, and the problem was in the language, and it was a torture for two people who could not communicate with each other.
Similarly, in Newton's mind, the first time they come into contact with the monster storage information, they will also do a painful compilation of this information without compiling it, but the result is unexpected, and it goes smoothly.
That information doesn't need to be recompiled at all, it can be used as if the languages of two civilizations were the same, but this is impossible.
"How can the languages of two different civilizations be the same?"
"You seem to have forgotten that this is information stored in a biological computer." Xiao Li reminded with a smile, "Their information is not presented in the form of words and language, but in a higher, more convenient and unknown way of communication, when you connect with the monster with floating neurons, the information you know about the monster is also known by you in a way that you can understand, have you forgotten all this?" ”
