On the night that Ye Chui confirmed that he became the new owner of this base, he had met Master Yin, for the death of Lao He, Master Yin showed great sorrow, in the base, Master Yin belongs to the kind of existence outside the cat party, dog party, and old and power, he just wants to do some research quietly, and he is full of worries about the future of the base.

Ye Chui's killing of the cat mother and Boss Shen didn't mean much to him, but because of the fat man, his attitude towards Ye Chui was also very friendly, and after confirming Ye Chui's determination to protect this base, he agreed with Ye Chui's identity.

Master Yin is an old man who is sixty or seventy years old but in good health, before the end of the day he is a professor at a key university in Z City, mainly studying experimental physics, and has a very deep research foundation in Newtonian mechanics and theoretical mechanics, and these are of extraordinary significance to the villain after the apocalypse, he is not the top physicist in the world, but in the case of Z City, he is already an absolute authority.

He himself knew his responsibility, the old man who had an elegant pre-apocalyptic image and knew how to enjoy life had become like the mad scientist in the movie, as if he wanted to exhaust the last of his strength to create something more useful for the survivors of this base, his image had become raunchy, with long messy white hair, a scruffy beard, and he wore this simple robe made of paper towels, which was the easiest to make, because his experiments often destroyed clothes, That's why he chose this kind of clothes that are easy to make.

The appearance of the whole person is somewhat similar to Einstein's.

The Flying Cat landed in the open space in the middle of the workshop, where all kinds of things were piled up in a mess, and there was a strange smell in the air, all kinds of raw materials that could be used, welding guns, glue, Ye Chui knew that the air needle gun was researched from here.

When Ye Trai came out of the Flying Cat, several young men who gave Master Yin a hand looked at Ye Trai in awe, but Master Yin was not as eager as them, just turned his head and glanced at it, and continued to do his own thing there, the fat man would introduce Ye Trai to Master Yin every day when he returned to the fortress from the workshop, knowing that this old man had a weird temper, so Ye Trai didn't care.

He smiled and glanced at the guys, which made the guys feel flattered, and then he walked behind Master Yin: "Master Yin, are you looking for me?" ”

"Hmm." Master Yin was fiddling with a small metal part, and he didn't know what it was for, so he turned his head and glanced at the few helpers who were standing still, and his face turned cold: "What are you doing in a daze, Zhang Peng, you scrapped an air needle gun yesterday, let me think about what went wrong." ”

"Master Yin, my name is not Zhang Peng......" A young man with a round face hurriedly said, but he didn't dare to say anything when he came into contact with Master Yin's eyes, and hurriedly went to get busy.

"A bunch of trash!" Master Yin threw away the parts in his hand, stood up and looked at Ye Chui, his eyes shining with a certain fanatical aura, "Mr. Ye, when will I help you do an examination?" I think it's interesting that you can awaken like animals, and you can also predate abilities, but I think it's worth looking into whether your body structure is any different from ordinary people. ”

"Forget it......" Touching Master Yin's eyes, Ye Chui couldn't help but shudder, feeling like a strange Shu scientist who likes to do human experiments, although Ye Chui had only met Master Yin once after that day, he had already conveyed through the fat man many times that he hoped to study Ye Chui's body structure, of course, Ye Chui refused, he hurriedly changed the topic, "What are you coming to me for?" You say the flu virus has evolved? ”

The frenzy in Master Yin's eyes turned into worry: "What I've been worried about is what epidemic is happening in the base, so I've been asking Lao He to try to maintain the health situation in the base, and the base has been safe and sound for the first two months, but now the situation I'm worried about has finally happened, many people have fallen ill, and the first dead finally appeared last night." ”

"Did the virus really evolve?" Ye Chui's expression also became worried, thinking of the flu plague that had left a terrifying trace in human history, he knew that after the end came, some survivors originally suffered from cold, but those diseases did not cause much harm and were quickly cured, but now there is an incurable flu in the base.

"No, that's not supposed to be evolution." Master Yin shook his head and said, "After all, the structure of viruses is very simple, and they don't have the ability to be intelligent or evolve, but they are becoming more dangerous now, my wife is a doctor, so I know a lot about pathology, I don't think these viruses are evolutionary, but-" Master Yin thought for a while, and then came up with an accurate adjective, "Atavistic." ”

"Atavism?" Ye Chui looked stunned.

"We usually say that viruses are constantly evolving, but in fact, the evolution of viruses is not really evolution, but a process of deletion and mutation, simply put, the structure of viruses is very simple, they can only maintain a very low fidelity in the process of transmission, this extremely low fidelity causes their own structure to be missing, and then mutate, the emergence of a new type of virus with strong destructive power, but in general, each of their spreads and outbreaks may make their composition shrink, which can be understood as survival of the fittest, Virulent viruses are usually quickly eradicated, and although the viruses that cause various diseases still mutate from time to time to become powerful virus species, their overall composition is declining. Master Yin explained to Ye Chui, "Only viruses with strong infection ability, strong transmission ability, strong adaptability, and little damage to the host can be preserved, which is the characteristic of viruses, in line with Darwin's law of natural selection, of course, there are some viruses that humans have not solved so far, and they cannot be completely eliminated." ”

"What's going on with the virus that's circulating in the base right now?" Ye Chui hurriedly asked.

"There is only a light microscope here, no electron microscope, and the state of the virus cannot be observed, but I have a guess that the epidemic virus that appears in the base now is only the most common cold virus, which can be concluded through the symptoms of the sick person, even before the sick person only shows the symptoms of a cold, cold medicine can effectively relieve his symptoms, but it cannot completely eradicate his cold." Master Yin waved a finger and said, "To put it simply, what caused those people in the base to get sick was the virus that had the most complete information after the atavism, and the virus was restored to the initial state without any information loss and mutation, which was probably the effect of the red comet on the virus." ”

"Then this virus should be the least harmful, right?" Ye Zhuo seemed to understand something and asked, the lack of virus information caused its mutation, and the mutated virus would be very harmful, but the harm of the original virus should be the smallest.

"Such primitive cold viruses are indeed the least harmful, but they are also deadly, because the human body has no immunity to this cold virus, and there are some survivors who have colds themselves when the end comes, but their colds gradually heal themselves, because their own immunity has worked, but human immunity cannot be immune to this primitive virus, because in the history of mankind, this virus may never have appeared, they existed before the emergence of human beings!" Master Yin elaborated, "Cold medicines are not meant to kill viruses in the first place, they are only a palliative treatment, and we give cold medicine to infected people only to temporarily relieve their symptoms, but the original virus produced in their bodies cannot be destroyed, in a sense, it is like an immunity deficiency disease." ”

The sick person just got the common cold, but the body lacks effective immunity against this primitive cold virus, and that's what makes this virus terrible.

"And how contagious is this primitive virus?" Ye Chui continued to ask, he had already felt the seriousness of the problem, the fat man and the other helpers were also surprised, they were the first time they heard Master Yin's understanding of this virus, if this unstoppable epidemic virus spread, the base would probably be destroyed in minutes.

"It's not contagious." Master Yin said an answer that shocked Ye Chui, and Master Yin continued, "I asked people to isolate those who were sick, just so as not to cause panic, but in fact, this virus is not contagious. ”

"Why?" Ye Chui asked in shock.

"The human body has shrunk, which means that ordinary viruses have become fifteen times larger, and their original transmission route is no longer suitable for transmission, and the villain and the adult are already two completely different species, and the virus that originally existed in the air or in the animal body will no longer be able to infect humans." Master Yin explained, "In the same way, when the human body shrinks, the things inside the human body will also shrink, and the viruses that cause the survivors to get sick will also be fifteen times smaller than ordinary viruses, and cannot be effectively transmitted through contact or air like ordinary viruses, in fact, I suspect that they will die as soon as they leave the human body, and I personally dissected the deceased without any precautions, but I have not shown any symptoms of infection until now." ”

Hearing Master Yin's autopsy of the deceased, the other people around showed surprised expressions, and the fat man obviously didn't know that Master Yin had made such a risky move.

"That's not right." The fat man said, "How did the virus that made the survivors sick get infected?" ”

"I think viruses are already in our bodies, they are affected by red comets just like animals, they have changed, and viruses are not contagious, but they are spontaneous in everyone's human body." Master Yin pointed to his chest and said, "This is also the most terrifying place, there is no clear research on the origin of the virus, and some people even say that the virus has appeared before the formation of cells, but now there is no doubt that each of us may spontaneously produce this primitive virus, maybe over time, our body will become immune to these primitive viruses, but at least for now, they are deadly to us, although they are not infectious, each of us may spontaneously produce this virus, Those who are sick now, from frail old people and children to sturdy young men, the virus is completely random. ”

After a pause, Master Yin continued: "The virus has gone through countless years of development to become what it is now, there are more than 200 viruses that cause cold symptoms, I am not sure if there is only one or more original viruses, the red comet seems to have completely zeroed out the evolution of the virus, and then let them start over. ”

This is definitely the most shocking news, in addition to the threat of cats and dogs, the biggest threat to human beings is still from themselves, it seems that the creator of the underworld is really ready to completely exterminate human beings?

"So, what are we going to do about this virus?" The round-faced guy asked Master Yin in a frightened voice.

Master Yin sighed and didn't speak, he was just a physicist, not a doctor at all, but he had more wisdom than others so he deduced the existence of the primordial virus, how could he know what to do?

"Maybe ......" But at this time, Ye Chui suddenly spoke, "There is a place that may have a special medicine to solve this problem!" ”

Lilip Biotech! This company has known for a long time that the end is coming, and they must have studied what will happen to humanity after the end, and maybe, they will develop this special drug for the original virus? After hearing Lilliput's name from Zhang Yan's mouth, Ye Chui was already ready to go to this company to find out, and now it seems that this matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Master Yin didn't know about Lilipu Biotechnology Company, he stared at Ye Chui with his eyes: "Special medicine? Now the only thing that can cure them is drugs that specifically target the virus, such drugs do not exist before the apocalypse, and all cold medicines are only for the symptoms, and then wait for the body's immunity to destroy the virus! ”

"I understand, but I'd like to get out and see that place as soon as possible." Ye Chui said resolutely, "When Da Hei comes back from outside, I'll go!" ”

Master Yin looked at Ye Chui for a while, and confirmed that Ye Chui was not ignorant of the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't say more, he sighed and said: "There is one more thing, by dissecting the deceased, I discovered one thing, the secret of our getting smaller. ”

"The secret of the villain getting smaller?" Ye Tuo's eyes widened.

"When the red comet appeared, everyone fainted, and when we woke up we found that we had become villains, so we all took it for granted that we were smaller." Master Yin looked at Ye Chui with a somewhat mysterious look, "But none of us have ever thought about another possibility, why can't it be that the size of our human beings has not changed, but everything around us has become bigger?"
