Vault 404, Infirmary.

Chu Guang, who was sitting on the scanning bed, looked at the blade in his hand that was held into a twisted shape by himself, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

He had just returned to the shelter from Xizhou City last night, and not long after lying down, he had a vague dream and woke up sweaty.

As usual, he handed over the work of washing the sheets to Xiaoqi, and he immediately contacted Heya to make an appointment for a physical examination.

Not surprisingly, his genetic sequence development progress has made another breakthrough!

To be honest, Chu Guang had some understanding of the condition of his body, but he didn't expect it to be exaggerated to the extent that he could pinch the blade into a twist with his bare hands.

There was a small scratch cut on the skin of the palm, and the blood on the blade had not yet dried up, but the scratch was almost gone.

It's not just power.

From the keratinocytes on the surface of the skin to the capillaries and muscle tissue beneath the dermis, to the organs and bones in the body, they are all developing in a direction that is different from ordinary people.

Even though the macrostructure and contours of the body have not changed significantly, they have actually been replaced by something else.

In Hea's words, only 2% of the DNA of the average human being is normally expressed, and this is basically the limit of what a human creature can bear.

And because his DNA is carefully designed, the proportion of selective expression in the entire gene pool has reached 4%, or even higher!

To make an inappropriate but graphic analogy, the average person is a private car that can be bought on the market, all of them are four wheels and one engine, and the performance must vary according to the brand and variety, but there is certainly no problem in running on the road.

The Awakened is a F1 car, and although it is also a four-wheeled engine, anyone can tell that this thing is not the same thing as a normal car. Even if you can run on the road, no one will license it.

And Chu Guang's situation is even more exaggerated.

His F1 engine is not an ordinary gasoline engine, four wheels and one engine have simply been replaced with four plasma nozzles and a controlled fusion engine! Others run on wheels on the highway, and he flies directly on the ground on the highway!

It's not a car at all, it's something else entirely.

But that's exactly what happened.

The 1.1-ton power armor wore on him as if he were wearing a down jacket.

While everyone else is powered by the energy provided by the fusion battery, he is able to move freely in power armor by his physical strength alone.

Chu Guang estimated that if he traveled back to the original world physically, eighty percent of them would have to be studied as aliens.

But it doesn't seem to be a problem.

After all, just looking at this exaggerated attribute panel, he felt that he was indeed no different from aliens.

The basic strength value of an ordinary person is 5, the power of a punch is about 50 kilograms, and his strength attribute is 60, 12 times that is 600 kilograms?

Of course, it's just the power of the punch.

According to the simple calculation of the momentum formula, the force generated by an ordinary person hitting a target may actually be about 1~2 times that of this number, while a trained person can reach 3~5 times.

In other words-

According to rough calculations, he can punch a ton of impact?!

Thinking of this, Chu Guang suddenly became interested, and suddenly wanted to try how powerful he was to swing a punch with all his strength.

But as soon as he clenched his hand into a fist, he was interrupted by a rapid cough.

"Don't mess around."

Looking at Heya, who was staring at him vigilantly, Chu Guang was slightly stunned, then smiled embarrassedly, and released his clenched fist again.

"I'm just a little curious."

"Curious how many minutes it will take to tear down my lab?"

Hea made a helpless expression and continued.

"I can tell you the conclusion directly, you are probably no different from a truck hitting it with a punch now, it's not just 'twelve times the strength', your muscle fibers and bones have actually become another 'material'. But I'd advise you not to really fight the truck, and even if you have to try, you'd better get yourself a titanium skeleton or something. Even if your bones are incredibly hard, they are bones after all. ”

"I'm not that idle...... By the way, what is the 'unresolvable' of that last line? Chu Guang suddenly noticed the bottom row of the attribute panel, looked at Heya and asked.

Knowing that Chu Guang would ask this question, Heya casually pulled out a chair and sat opposite him, and gently pushed the holographic image with her index finger in front of her.

The image of the DNA helix unfolds in the image, and with it a line of pale blue labels pops up.

These patterned markers select the expressed gene fragments and the resulting transcribed messenger RNA, as well as protein chains formed as a result of ribosome processing.

Although the entire biological process was already very intuitive in this report, Chu Guang still saw it in the clouds and didn't understand it at all.

Obviously knowing that this was beyond his knowledge, Heya didn't sell it, and explained succinctly.

"Undecipherable is literal, your body has undergone some changes and has started to synthesize proteins that I haven't seen and I'm not sure have specific functions. I don't want to start with you the basic knowledge of 'how genes affect biological traits', in short, you can understand it as...... The human body is like a construction site, and yours has some weird bricks on it, and you're building a house that I don't understand what function it has. ”

"There are no similar precedents in the Vault's database, so I can't speculate on the possible consequences of this change based on the existing samples, so I'll have to wait and see for a while."

Chu Guang was slightly surprised.

"You can't even see the strengthening."

"That's not too normal, I'm a researcher and not a prophet. However, don't be so sure that it must be 'strengthened'. ”

Heya suddenly curled the corners of her lips playfully, leaned a little closer, and smiled with a wicked smile, "What if it's a genetic disease?" For example, if you suddenly have two heads on your shoulders, this is not completely impossible. ”

Although this probability is not high.

After so much research, Hea was able to conclude that his genes were not naturally formed, but more like they were designed with knowledge she didn't know.

This is true for most of the inhabitants of this shelter.

Their own existence is a "singularity-level" technology, and at least half of their feet are on a singularity that is out of common sense.

However, she originally just planned to scare this guy, lest he always rely on his health to wander around and not take his safety seriously.

However, it was a pity that Chu Guang was obviously not frightened, and only smiled at this ambiguous statement.

"If it were that kind of thing, you wouldn't have informed me in such a joking tone."

Heya, leaning back in her chair, pursed her lips in a nutshell.

"That's right, I'll brew the tone of the terminal illness diagnosis next time."

Chu Guang smiled.

"Anyway, what exactly that change is still to be seen?"

Hea nodded and said dryly.

"That's right, I recommend adjusting the frequency of check-ups from once every seven days to once every three days, and it would be best if it could be once every two days. Frankly, I'm very interested in the changes in your body, and it would be of great help to my ongoing research if I could observe the full process of physiological changes in your body. ”

Looked a little unnatural by the blazing eyes, Chu Guang coughed lightly, turned off the translucent holographic screen with a wave of his index finger, and buttoned the button of his shirt.

"I'll think about it when the tide passes, but I'm afraid I won't be able to spare so much time lately."

Looking at Chu Guang, who got up from the scanning bed, Heya suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"By the way, speaking of the wave, I just have something to tell you."

Seeing Heya's serious expression, Chu Guang also put away the joke on his face and gradually became serious.

"What's the matter?"

"Thea."

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"Thea?"

Hea nodded, and continued with a serious expression.

"A new mother body has been born in the center of the city, and according to the clues provided by Xiao Yu, its name seems to be Thea. Our researchers sampled the spores that were active in Qingquan City and found a different mutant strain from the previous one from a large number of samples. ”

"Mutant strains?" Chu Guang was stunned, "Didn't you have a wave in previous years?" ”

Heya said patiently.

"Of course, there have been previous years, and the wave itself is a way for the slime bacteria to expand their populations, and they will also have new evolutions in the process, but this year is different from previous years."

Chu Guang didn't speak, waiting for her to continue.

Hea paused for a moment, trying to explain in layman's terms he could understand.

"According to the information I've gathered from Boulder City, although the slime mold mutants have evolved in groups in previous years, they usually evolve in the direction of rapid reproduction, rapid healing, and stronger armor."

Gradually realizing that something was wrong, Chu Guang asked cautiously.

"And what about this year?"

"This year it's fire-resistant."

Damn?!

Chu Guang was suddenly shocked.

"Refractory?!"

Looking at Chu Guang's surprised expression, Heya nodded lightly.

"It sounds a bit ridiculous, but that's what we've observed."

"It's not...... Are there carbon-based organisms that can't be burned by fire? ”

"It's not that you can't burn to death, but the spores released by this new variant of slime mold show physiological characteristics that have not been seen before. For example, when encountering unbearable high temperatures, the macromolecular carbon chains in the sporangia will quickly combine with the surrounding oxygen molecules under the action of biocatalysts, and the volume will expand rapidly, and eventually the vesicles will burst, releasing a large amount of carbon dioxide. ”

"After this process, the spores die quickly, but the air in the entire area is quickly consumed as a result. According to the simulation results of the Institute of Biology, when the spore concentration index reaches 500 at standard atmospheric pressure, the oxygen content in the area can be reduced from 20.95% to 10.1% in half a minute, at the cost of only 80% of itself. If the spore concentration index reaches 800, it only takes ten seconds to complete the process. ”

"Coupled with the fact that most conventional combustion processes consume oxygen on their own, and the release of spores by fruiting bodies is a continuous process, the oxygen content in the region is further reduced, thereby weakening or even completely terminating the redox reaction that is taking place."

Most combustibles in daily life will be extinguished when the oxygen content is less than 14% after ignition.

If this mutant spore can really reduce the oxygen content to 10.1%, it will not only affect the incendiary bomb, but also some synthetic oil engines and generators.

Fortunately, the minimum oxygen content for hydrogen combustion is 5.9%, otherwise the alliance's hydrogen-burning air batteries would have suffered.

Chu Guang's face finally changed.

In response to this wave, the Union prepared almost a thousand tons of incendiary bombs, as well as almost three hundred thousand tons of fuel for making napalm.

As a result, his researcher actually told him that he probably wouldn't need it?!

"Don't slime fruiting bodies need to breathe?"

Hea said with a solemn expression.

"That's what puzzled me, if those slime molds create a large 'oxygen-free zone' in Qingquan City, their own life activities will obviously be affected. I can only speculate that the fruiting bodies produced by the new breed brood are more tolerant to anaerobic environments, after all...... They themselves come from heaven. ”

Chu Guang was silent for a while, and pressed his index finger on his eyebrows.

"It's always good to be able to catch problems in advance...... I don't believe that there are creatures in this world that don't have weaknesses. ”

"I think the same as you, maybe the performance of the incendiary bomb in actual combat is not as pessimistic as the calculated results, and we are also thinking of other solutions...... By the way, you don't just have incendiary bombs, right? Heya looked at Chu Guang worriedly and asked.

"That's not really, we won't pin our hopes of victory entirely on a certain weapon," Chu Guang shook his head and sighed, "But to be honest, incendiary bombs have an irreplaceable role in fighting mutant slime molds, it is the most cost-effective, and it can clean up a large number of corpses." If the incendiary bombs do not have the desired effect, the war will be more difficult than we expected. ”

Is it because incendiary bombs are used too much?

It seems that this is indeed the case.

In the past, when Boulder City was dealing with the wave, it had always used the method of incendiary bombs washing the floor and mercenaries rushing up to dismantle the house.

Even when the alliance was dealing with the wave before, it even purchased a few more efficient big guys from Boulder City.

Chu Guang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If you let those slime molds continue to multiply, sooner or later it will become a bigger problem.

"We need to solve the threat in downtown Qingquan once and for all."

At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he spoke.

"By the way, what if the brood is allowed to devour the brood?"

It's not that he came up with a solution, but I've seen someone discuss it on the forum before. Some players even instigated Luo Yu to take Xiao Yu out to see if he could eat the other side.

He remembered that Hea had said before that there was an "intraspecific struggle" between the mutant slime molds, and that the slime fruiting bodies belonging to different hive consciousnesses would attack each other and even devour each other in order to compete for sunlight, land, and organic matter.

Hearing Chu Guang's inquiry, Heya was slightly stunned.

"Let the brood devour the brood...... Theoretically, the slime molds with large DNA differences can indeed devour each other, which is also one of the ways for them to obtain genetic information and strengthen themselves, but there is no precedent for the mother nest to devour the mother nest. ”

Not only has the alliance not encountered such a precedent, but even the enterprises with tentacles spread throughout the eastern part of the Central Continent have not encountered it.

Due to the previous agreement between the Alliance and the company on the research of the mutant slime mold, the data and information derived from the observation and research of the company and its allies on the mutant slime mold for the past two hundred years were basically open to the Alliance, but she looked through all the records and found no such extreme situation.

And the most important thing is that Xiao Yu's body is on the B6 floor of the refuge, which occupies the volume of the entire computer room, let alone getting on the elevator, and can't even get out of the door of the computer room.

In the future, it will be integrated with the entire B6 layer.

How do you get it to gobble up?

It's even more unrealistic to put that "Thea" in the Vault, and the entire Vault will have to repeat the mistakes of the B6 floor if you are not careful.

Looking at Heya, who was stunned, Chu Guang's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued.

"What if the inhabitants of the Vault with their biological prostheses could actively inject their biological prostheses into the body of their mother or brood?"

If he can directly wipe out the brood in this way, he can even consider stuffing the player into a cannonball to perform a "surgical" precision strike on the brood.

Of course, this is not for the newborn mother.

It's for the brood in the city center!

Although it's a bit unkind to say this, but he just survived a winter and gave birth to a lot of "little life", this guy's body should be very weak, right?

There's no better opportunity than this!

Hea opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she squeezed out a sentence with a strange expression.

"This ...... Who came up with the idea? ”

Chu Guang sighed.

"Can't you?"

"No......" Heya shook her head and said with a subtle expression, "I think it's the opposite, it's a bad idea. ”

Chu Guang: "!! ”

it?

Really?!
