Chapter 10: The Strange Death of Prions

Consciousness returned to the body, Bai Yuan looked at his two slender flagella, there will be a day, I will definitely have my body again, definitely!

Then he experimented a few more times, and although it didn't reach the point where Ada had said that he had scored 500 points every time, he had consolidated it, with a success rate of about 80 percent, and at least 60 gene points each time.

Then he began to think about how to replicate the split, after all, now he was in staphylococci, there was nothing to break down, and there was only one prion outside, which was too inefficient.

It's not that he didn't think about going into the green bead space and asking Ada again, after a few experiments, he probably had close to five hundred genetic points in his hand, but he always felt that something like this should have some kind of biological instinct in his body, although he was a human before, he couldn't be self-taught, but after careful study, he could still find a way.

In his worldview, instincts are divided into three types, the first is absolute instincts, such as breathing, foraging, etc., which do not need to be taught, they will be born together, the second is general instincts, such as walking, reproduction, etc., which need to be mastered through learning or groping, and the third is special instincts, which will only awaken in some special circumstances, such as natural use of mouth and nose to breathe at the same time when you feel like you can't breathe when you run long-distance, and so on.

was told twice that there were not enough gene points, Bai Yuan also had some stubborn emotions, although he wanted to save a lot of gene points at the time, and then ask a good question, calm down and feel that it is not appropriate to ask a woman with some questions that can find answers by himself, maybe it is the psychology of machismo. In short, there is really no way to say hello again, Bai Yuan thought to himself.

A day later, Bai Yuan looked at the prion No. 2 that finally succeeded in front of him, and showed a tired smile, he failed countless times at first, and the pressure in his heart made him more and more anxious, and finally he simply hypnotized himself, entered a state of complete concentration to study, and finally discovered the secret of prion replication and splitting, and he didn't know if it was because of the resistance caused by multiple hypnosis, or if his mental strength had improved, and now he only needed to sleep for ten hours after the hypnosis ended.

The first thing I do when I wake up is to make sure that Prion II is intact.

Bai Yuan has always controlled Prion No. 1 for research, although now that the two prions are standing together, he can still tell at a glance that No. 1 may be overworked and obviously a little embarrassed, while the newborn No. 2 is very energetic and looks strong and powerful.

Looking at the two prions in front of him, Bai Yuan suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment and identity in his heart, and he finally truly accepted his identity as a prion, and no longer called a prion it, but him.

Then, the next day will probably be a good day, replication and splitting is equal to multiplication, two two gets four, two four gets eight, and twenty-eight is sixteen! I believe that we will soon be able to have an army of prions, and the speed of accumulating gene points at that time should not be too fast, haha! Bai Yuan thought beautifully.

But!(yes,it's usually like this ^^)

The good times didn't last long, after the end of the seventh split, Bai Yuan had one hundred and twenty-eight prions, but Prion No. 1 suddenly stopped moving, and the small light spots representing No. 1 in the sea of consciousness gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared.

"Is this dead?"

The newly-born prions in the vicinity quickly stepped forward, and sure enough, they could no longer receive his pheromones.

"How can this be? Not long after he was split by me, if he died, wouldn't I too? No, no, no, no, calm down, something must have gone wrong, ask Ada. Although he forced himself to calm down, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ada, pull me in!"

Feeling that weightlessness again, Bai Yuan forcibly suppressed the feeling of dizziness, gritted his teeth and endured it for a while, his face was hideous, and he wanted to speak but was afraid that he would spit it out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ada looked at the scene in front of her with some amusement, this is the process that every inheritor has to go through, and she can't help much, she still remembers the first time this situation happened, she asked with concern, and then the inheritor waved her hand, and then she asked again What the hell is wrong with you, and the inheritor tried to open his mouth, and then ......

"Phew~!Ada I want to ask......" Bai Yuan's mouth didn't dare to open wide, and he seemed to grit his teeth when he spoke.

"I know, I've seen it all, but you don't have enough genes right now. ”

Ada didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and stretched lazily, looking like nothing big had happened, but Bai Yuan obviously didn't notice it, and hurriedly withdrew from the green bead space.

"Little ones, let's work!" sent a command to all the prion small light spots through the sea of consciousness, and waited to harvest the gene points.

"Congratulations to the inheritor for earning eighty-three gene points!"

"Congratulations to the inheritor for earning ninety-four gene points!"

"Congratulations to the inheritor for earning seventy-two gene points!"

......

There are now 127 prions, and the success rate of each decomposition is about 80%, and at least 60 points are gained, but it takes a lot of time to catch new decomposition materials, so now you can get about 3,000 gene points every 10 minutes.

After listening to it for a while, Bai Yuan remembered that he forgot to ask how many gene points he needed! Although he wanted to go in and ask now, he was afraid that the gene points would still not be enough, so he experienced the feeling of being drunk and riding a roller coaster again in vain, so entangled.

"Well, since prions are all repetitive work now, can I have them do low-level decomposition automatically? so that I don't have to control them all the time, and if I succeed, I can free up time for other research in the future. ”

Once, it was really just a simple try, and it actually succeeded! Indeed, desire and demand are the source of the development and progress of things.

Watching the prions continue to break down their genes like industrious bees, he returned to the green bead space again.

"Ada, I'm ......" Bai Yuan opened his mouth to speak.

Ada interrupted impatiently: "Your gene points are not enough, 9,000 points." ”

"No, I want to ask if I can communicate with you directly outside in the future?" every time I come in, I vomit ...... "After all, I still can't hold on, don't pay for soiling the floor?"

"Except for some special circumstances, I will take the initiative to communicate with you outside the green bead space, and usually you can only come in if you want to ask questions. Ada looked like I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it, and with a finger of my hand, the ground was as clean as new.

"Why, it's so hard. Bai Yuan was obviously a little frightened by this disgusting vertigo, and when he remembered that he had to experience it every time he came in, he suddenly felt that his life was extremely gloomy, and a little person in his heart knelt in the corner, bursting into tears.

"In short, it's good for you, if you really want to know, save 100,000 gene points and come back!"

"Uh, that's too much...... After a while. ”

Bai Yuan looked up at the sky with a weak heart, and suddenly aimed at the gene points on the record tablet and finally reached nine thousand.

"Why did my replicated prions die all of a sudden, and how long do I have to live?"

"To put it simply, prions can replicate and divide nine times, but unsuitable environment, fatigue, and serious injuries can lead to early death, I reminded you, prions are best parasitic in the body of a suitable bacteria or virus, you are now in the body of a human girl, although not directly exposed to the air, but most areas of the human body, are inappropriate for your replicants, so you still need to find a host for your replicants. Also, you used them so hard that you didn't give them much time to rest, so your first copy split seven times and died. As for your lifespan, there is still a long, long time to go, so don't worry at all, after all, your current body is not a simple prion. ”

"I see, I understand, but if the prions are all hiding in the parasite, how can they let them break down the gene points for me?" Bai Yuan asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha! Do you think low-level decomposition can only be used by prions?" This question is too simple, so Ada just symbolically deducted a gene point, and it is rare to show kindness, and I feel that I am really a kind and good businessman with business ethics!

"Yes, thinking by inertia, I didn't even think of this!" Bai Yuan patted his head and suddenly realized.

"Then, there are a few more hints, a total of 1,000 points will be charged to you, which is considered a newbie gift package, do you want to?" Looking at Bai Yuan's growing gene points, Ada didn't mean to pick up a layer of skin on him, well, absolutely not!

Bai Yuan said word by word in his heart, but his mouth said, "Okay, good, you can say it!"

"First, if your replica chooses the same host as you, then in this human body, no matter how far away it is, you can communicate in real time, but if your replica leaves this human, then there will be a delay in communication between you, and the farther away the delay, the more serious the delay, of course, it is also related to the host, and the delay time of different hosts is also different.

Second, once your clone mutates, you can no longer control him, unless you have the same mutation as him, and by the same token, if your clone leaves the human and his parasite mutates, you can't contact him anymore.

Third, what you decompose now are some bacteria and viruses, all of which are wholes, and if you decompose animals or plants in the future, if you only take one of the parts, you can only get a small number of gene points, for example, if you are skilled, you can decompose 500 points each time, but if you decompose only one of the leaves of a tree, there will never be so many, so it is impossible to divide a whole into several parts, and it is impossible to get more than 500 gene points in a life.

Fourth, you've been sucking staphylococcal cell fluid, and you don't know if you're going to get him something to eat? Your staph is going to starve to death, idiot!"

With that, he kicked Bai Yuan out of the green bead space......
