Osborne Industries, Dr. Connors was studying Kun, but the other biological scientists were still there, Lin Tao directly ordered them to put down the experiments in their hands, and separately checked the materials stolen from Trask Industries, and told Dr. Octopus about the Sentinel's situation again.

However, considering the status device that might exist in the sentinel's body, Lin Tao did not take it out of the star ring.

Talking to Doctor Octopus, ten minutes passed, but what was summarized in Lin Tao's hands was one bad news after another.

Lin Tao suppressed his anxiety and asked, "According to this, none of these mutants can repair genes?" ”

One scientist said: "Yes boss, both blood tests and data comparisons have proved that these mutants cannot repair their genes." ”

After Lin Tao waved them away, he sighed: "Nearly an hour was wasted, but you didn't find a mutant who could repair genes in Trask, so you can only ask Defense Minister Stryker."

But attacking Stryker directly is tantamount to declaring war on the United States, and it will inevitably anger the forces of justice, including S.H.I.E.L.D., and if there is no violence, that old thing like Stryker will not honestly tell me the answer I want. In the movie, Stryker easily deceived Uncle Wolf and Uncle Wolf's daughter-in-law, Silver Fox, so miserably. ”

Doctor Octopus suddenly said, "Actually, if you want to get a biological cure that can repair genes, Mary, you can go to Dr. Connors and ask."

You know, Dr. Connors has studied experiments on the fusion of humans and lizards in order to regenerate limbs, but this fusion is often not satisfactory, for example, his original intention is to gain the ability to regenerate limbs, but after the transplant he got the side effect of skin discoloration.

To improve this, you know that some mutants have abilities that are close to animals, such as being able to change color, or have a sensitive nose like a dog, or can stick their tongues out, like a frog.

However, it is different from human-animal fusion. This ability formed by the X gene is controllable many times, and when they don't use the ability, the skin, the tongue, looks like a normal person.

So Dr. Connors had considered. Extract the genes of some organisms, transform them into X genes, and then fuse them into the human gene chain, so as to obtain the desired abilities while eliminating those unwanted side effects. ”

Lin Tao was confused when he heard it: "What does this gene collapse that treats little naughty have anything to do with it?" ”

"Well, boss, you go to school less, you probably don't know ......" Dr. Octopus said something that made Lin Tao's eyebrows jump: "So you don't know." In nature, there is a bacterium that has the ability to repair genes. ”

Lin Tao jumped in front of him all of a sudden: "What kind of bacteria is it?" ”

"It's called radiophilic micrococci, and it's a bacterium that lives in the waste tanks of nuclear reactors, eating plutonium and other residues. Micrococcus radiophila is virtually unaffected by radiation, and if its DNA is bombarded with radiation, those fragments reassemble almost instantly, and they possess the ability to repair genes.

If Dr. Connors were to modify this ability of radiophilic micrococci to the X gene, and give it to a mutant with a faster metabolism—"

"Like a saber-toothed tiger?"

"Yes, Sabertooth Tiger. Injected into the saber-toothed tiger, he has the same ability to repair genes as his brother Wolverine, and he can be reborn even if he turns into ashes. What's more. Miss Mary was saved. ”

"I see, I see, inform Hank immediately. Professor Kaumai, tell him about the idea. Inform Dr. Connors that I need to see him. ”

Soon, Hank Kaumai appeared in front of Lin Tao with a frown: "I'm sorry, Lin Tao." I didn't find the cells of Wolverine and Deadpool at the scene where they died. ”

"If you don't find it, you can't find it, how about Doctor Octopus's proposal, is it feasible?" Lin Tao asked expectantly.

"There is hope for success, but ......," Hank Kaomai said, "number one." It is very difficult to genetically modify bacteria into X genes, and secondly, even if the modification is successful, saber-toothed tigers may not be a perfect match for artificial X genes. In other words, even if he is injected, his genes may not be successfully modified. ”

Lin Tao's heart gradually sank: "In other words, it is still difficult to achieve?" ”

"Nope! It's not hard to save Mary's life," an excited voice came as Dr. Connors appeared with his hands behind his back and his eyes lit up, "First of all. It is difficult to genetically modify bacteria into X genes, but it is much easier if there is a variant of organisms that has X genes and can absorb various genes for their own use. And I just happened to find one such creature.

Second, the organism itself has a very fast metabolism, and a 250-gram individual can double its net weight in one minute when there is enough food. Note that it is a net weight, which excludes the interference of undigested food. ”

Hank Kaumai was surprised and taught: "How is this possible? ”

"But that's the truth, witness the miracle, several!" Dr. Connors pulls out a fish tank, which contains a creature that resembles a whale, but has shrunk a lot. It was bobbing its head and tail inside.

Lin Tao was surprised when he glanced at it: "Dr. Connors, you, you resurrected the Kun Fish fossil I gave you?" ”

"No, there is no resurrection," Dr. Connors said, "because it wasn't dead in the first place, but unfortunately locked up in a fossil."

Luckily, there was a crack in the fossil due to poor storage, and when I put it together with the fragments of Kun's tissue, some blood seeped into the fossil, bringing the greedy little creature back to life.

Like I said, it came out of the fossil and grew rapidly. The first time I observed it existing, oh, you don't know how small it is, it's only 0.31 millimeters in length and weighs only 1.4 hundredths of a microgram, but it already has a complete body structure that grows by eating.

After a minute, its volume increased to 0.5 grams, twenty grams after two minutes, two hundred and fifty grams after three minutes, and five hundred grams after four minutes.

At this time, I took the Kun Tun tissue and began to study it. First of all, I discovered that its cells can freely change shape among fish, birds, and humans.

So I studied its genes, and I found that its nucleus was very chaotic, it was a pool of muddy water! All the organisms I've seen in the past have genes that have a perfect double helix structure, but this little thing only has a large number of base pairs in its nucleus. When the cell needs to work, the corresponding gene is formed.

I accidentally tested it and found that the genes it formed were all X-genes.

I don't know if this little guy is able to produce all the genes, so I soaked its cells in concentrated hydrochloric acid, and there is no doubt that its cells are dead.

I fed this little thing a little tardispeller and then peeled off the cells again and placed them in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Guess what I saw? A fiber appeared outside its cells to block the attack of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and it survived, like a tardigrades. ”

"Really?" Lin Tao subconsciously wanted to touch the kun that was shaking its head and tail in the water tank.

Dr. Connors hurriedly blocked his hand: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. ”

He took out a piece of gold leaf and shook it in front of Lin Tao: "Look, this is real gold." ”

Dr. Connors threw the gold leaf into the water tank, and tiny bubbles appeared from the surface of the gold leaf, and in a few moments, the gold leaf melted.

Dr. Connors said feverishly, "Isn't it strong? This little guy. After absorbing the genes of the tardigrades, he consciously evolved the abilities that the tardigrades did not have, and was able to survive in the aqua regia! Even gold can be melted by aqua regia, but it can survive in it, and even use the corrosive properties of aqua regia to gain energy!

As long as we give it a little radiophilic micrococcus and put it in a radioactive environment, I bet this little guy will generate the X gene that can repair genes, and then let the little naughty absorb its abilities......"

Lin Tao shouted in surprise: "The little naughty is finally saved!" (To be continued.) )
