Spring 1997.

It has been more than a year since the initial outbreak of the black light virus in Manhattan.

After traveling half the world, Alex, who returned to Manhattan, was already disappointed with humanity and intervened in the new research of the Black Watch organization, infecting the white light virus they had researched to fight the black light virus, making it a malignant infection virus like the black light virus, rather than an antibody virus that cured the black light virus.

Once again, the virus broke out more severely in Manhattan and spread throughout New York City, and the plot of the second generation began.

Zhou Dong, who is far away in Siberia, has also completed a new transformation after a year of almost sleep.

Still in the quiet laboratory, Zhou Dong closed his eyes from the life-support device.

The double antennae on the head slowly retracted;

The strange patterns on the body surface also disappeared little by little;

The pale grayish-white double wings also shrank back into the body;

The tall and sturdy figure of more than two meters tall is slowly shrinking back to a sturdy normal human figure.

Now, even though he looks like a normal human being, he is no longer the same.

Because each DNA molecule in his cell is made up of eight bases, compared to six pairs of bases in normal humans.

However, in the modern world, such as the masochistic archetype, the fifth base was usually discovered in the early eighties, and the sixth base was only confirmed in the near future.

The more types of bases, the more diverse the body can be, and the more complex and large structures can be supported.

If there are only 2 species, it may only last as big as a building, but if there are 10 species, it may be able to grow to the size of a planet, but still have a stable structure and live a healthy life.

What's the difference?

The base is equivalent to the basic code 0 and 1 in human computing, and 0 and 1 alone can weave countless wonderful online worlds.

And there are six kinds of ordinary human bases, which are equivalent to three pairs of 0s and 1s, and the complexity of the genes that can be encoded is self-evident.

And Zhou Dong has eight kinds, four pairs of 0 and 1, so it is not too much to call him a god now.

This is a new skill he has learned by observing the cellular changes in the microscopic world for more than a year, and at the same time using mental and psychic powers to guide the body's genetic change traits, which is commonly known as the transformation form.

When he first woke up, he was in the form of a fully human mastermind, and in order to act better in this human society, he changed his traits by guiding genes to change his form into normal human form, because the DNA fragments of normal humans in his body are still intact, and when needed, these gene fragments can be reorganized into different modules, thus changing the trait transformation form.

The traits of living things generally change with the environment, and by consciously changing the sequencing structure and combination of the original DNA fragments, without being affected by the environment, and taking on a new form according to their own needs, it is a special ability that only advanced creatures like Zhou Dong with extraordinary abilities have.

In the normal form, the main brain gene is in a state of stinging, which will cause Zhou Dong's mental strength and other abilities to decrease and be limited, but correspondingly, it will also reduce a lot in terms of energy consumption, which can also be said to be a low-power form.

Zhou Dong's psychic power level has broken through to the alpha level, and now he doesn't need to completely transform into the main brain form, and he has also reached this level in the normal human form, because this is the improvement of the realm.

Now in his thoughts, the spiritual power that has reached tens of millions of thoughts speed can envelop the spiritual world of thousands of people who have invaded the entire scientific research base in the blink of an eye, completely jumping a few small levels.

As for the spiritual power, it has also increased by a few percent with the increase of the upper limit of physical strength, if he used to desperately use his spiritual power to trigger an energy storm to destroy a Manhattan, then now he can use his spiritual power to trigger an energy storm to destroy the entire New York City, and he still has the remaining strength to escape cleanly, and then find a place to quickly recover his energy.

Now his physical function has even increased to more than ten times compared with the previous seven times, but the specific data still needs to go through rigorous tests to get accurate figures.

"Still sleeping?"

Zhou Dong waved his hand, and the prepared clothes automatically flew to his side and put them on, and he picked up the sleeping snow.

For more than a year, she has been guarding a little girl by her side, and it is difficult to do it.

……

Three days later, after basically understanding the changes in his body, Zhou Dong took the snow and left the Novosibirsk Technopolis City on a private jet.

A few minutes later, a blue-white nuclear shockwave erupted from the bottom of Technopolis, and the ultra-high temperature destroyed all traces he had left behind.

The queen piloted the private jet, and Zhou Dong was in the cabin, his elbows propped up on the sofa, and his three fingers gently supported his head.

All the precious materials of the research project, the core part is imprinted in his brain, and the other huge parts are stored in the body of the artificial intelligence queen in the suitcase.

Zhou Dong wasn't sure if this world was also under the control of the space-time administrators, but in order to keep it secret, he cleansed the memories of all the staff involved, evacuated them, and then completely destroyed all traces of that place, leaving absolutely no obvious hidden dangers and clues.

This is done out of a keen intuition.

If it is said that in the ancient East, for those martial arts masters, martial arts routines were the source of their strength, and when the sect secrets were known by other sects, it was very likely to develop targeted martial arts, which was very fatal.

In modern times, too, the genetic enhancement of oneself through biotechnology requires the utmost care to keep one's genetic profile secret, which is the foundation of one's life.

Shoot a shot to change places, and Zhou Dong is now preparing to leave this world.

In this world, he has completed a new transformation, and his spiritual strength and spiritual strength have been greatly improved.

In terms of the improvement of the overall function of the body, it is no longer a comprehensive improvement, which involves more complex reasons.

For example, an ant can lift up to 100 times its weight in a small size, but it is impossible to reach this standard when zoomed in to human size.

Wolverine has super self-healing powers, but amplifying his genetic structure to planets (the Marvel Multiverse does have planet-sized creatures) will definitely collapse, and it is impossible for planet-level creatures to have the same resilience as he did when he was human-sized, otherwise the Planet Eater would have laughed.

Zhou Dong integrated the main brain gene to optimize the human gene to a certain extent, so that most of the physical abilities that were already a bottleneck were increased by ten times, but not in an all-round way.

When the number reaches ten, the data becomes more and more pale, and people cannot intuitively feel the change.

Zhou Dong, who claims to be a scientist, is also difficult to describe his current ability with completely accurate numbers.

However, there is an obvious change, now Zhou Dong mobilizes the strength of his whole body muscles to punch hard, he can easily punch an ordinary steel block through the deep hole of his arm with a naked fist, and his body can fully withstand this counter-impact force, at most, there are some fine cracks in the finger bones.

If equipped with power armor, he does not need to rely on mental power or psychic power to reach a level of extremely terrifying combat ability.

The tenfold improvement in physical fitness does not simply refer to the tenfold improvement in the strength of ordinary people.

With the increase of ten times the mass multiplied by ten times the speed, this is not a simple addition and subtraction at all, but a multiplication of strength.

Not to mention that there are some small muscle groups that are not obvious under the performance of ordinary humans, when they reach a tenfold obvious level, it is also a multiplicative increase for the improvement of the strength of auxiliary large muscle groups.

The increase in combat effectiveness brought by it is naturally not as simple as a superficial number.

It is true that human beings have twice the power of 100 kilograms and 10 times as many tons.

However, when the overall ability of the human being is increased tenfold in other coordination parts, the extreme fist power that can be displayed is far more than one ton.

If it is still based on the normal human genetic structure of Zhou Dong before, and only forcibly increases the metabolic activity of cells, then it will be increased by three times to ten times, and as long as he punches him, his whole body will collapse, muscle fibers will tear, blood vessels will explode, and organs will be overloaded and rapidly failing......

The energy source of ordinary human cells is ATP, which is an unstable high-energy compound that releases more energy when hydrolyzed, and is the most direct source of energy in living organisms.

For animals, humans, fungi, and most bacteria, it comes from the energy released by the breakdown of organic matter when cells undergo respiration. For green plants, in addition to relying on the energy released by respiration, the conversion of ADP to ATP also makes use of light energy when photosynthesis takes place within chloroplasts.

Energy is released when ATP undergoes hydrolysis. This energy is used in the cells, and the movement produced by muscle contraction, the activity of nerve cells, and everything else in the organism uses the energy produced by the hydrolysis of ATP.

Because ATP is the carrier of energy commonly used in cells, it is often called the energy currency in cells.

The workers and workshops that make ATP, an energy currency, can be called mitochondria.

Mitochondria is an aerobic bacterium parasitic in humans and animals in ancient times, providing energy for the host and it is also an energy parasite, and then it slowly became a symbiotic relationship, and in modern times, it has become a part of human beings, and ATP is produced by its oxidative decomposition.

If ATP provides the "molecular currency" of cellular energy, then mitochondria are the "cellular power factory" that makes molecular currency, which is a very easy-to-understand relationship.

Humans die without breathing oxygen, and that's because the energy in the body needs mitochondria for oxidative decomposition.

But now Zhou Dong doesn't need it, the main source of energy for his body is not the mitochondria and the ATP they participate in the production, but another brand-new, decomposed "molecular currency" that can provide more energy, and the reaction of its energy release is not through the hydrolysis of ATP, but the substance that can be produced by another energy in the body, and the two help each other to form a set of circulatory systems in the body.

If the ATP of ordinary human beings is a copper plate currency, then the new molecular currency in Zhou Dong's body, which he calls "NYX", is a gold-containing currency, and the difference between the two is obvious.

This is the difference in the source of energy, and the other point is the hardware, that is, the hardware of the body.

Just as it was said that it was an aircraft made of ordinary inferior iron before, then the cells that make up Zhou Dong's body now have been upgraded to hard precious metal steel, which has far superior quality.

Only excellent hardware/body of sufficient quality can fully exert the effect of excellent software/energy.

Putting an aero engine on a tractor will certainly cause it to explode, but it will also quickly cause it to explode and collapse, and loading a large amount of tractor oil into an aero plane to drive it will only pollute this advanced product of modern technology.

Therefore, the potential of the genetic sequence structure of the human body before was simply not enough to support a tenfold improvement in quality.

Originally, Zhou Dong was in the X-Men world, and it was already very reluctant to use ordinary human genes to increase to five times, and he gathered the power of the global science family to barely increase it to seven times, which was already exhausting, and it has been for a long time since then......

Zhou Dongzhi often uses clones to go out, and rarely appears in person, although the reason for this has not been explained to outsiders, but it is definitely the most important reason.

Frequent use of sevenfold abilities will cause great damage to the body of ordinary humans, although it can be achieved, although he rarely performs physical movements or fierce battles, at most, he occasionally moves his muscles and bones for a long time to avoid functional degradation.

But now this one is no longer genetically "pure" human.

Xue felt it very keenly, because when she woke up from being held, she found that there were slight footprints on the steel floor, which was caused by Zhou Dong, who was not yet fully familiar with controlling her new body, and could not control her own quality very well.

The plane flew to Europe in this world, and then Zhou Dong found and took control of a large hadron collider.

He took the snow with him and opened the door to the next world again.
