Chapter 59: Amber
"So, ugliness is not an isolated case for a long time." Chen Yiqian said.
"We have analyzed the composition of 'amber' in the past few days and found that this golden liquid is actually 'chitosan', or a kind of high-molecular chitosan."
Su Yu had never been exposed to these biological knowledge, but the meaning of the word chitosan still popped out of his mind in an instant. Chitosan is a product of the removal of part of the acetyl group by chitin, a natural polysaccharide, which has been widely used in the medical field, with film-forming and antibacterial properties, which can protect wounds and promote wound healing. The polymer chitosan mentioned by Chen Yiqian should be stronger than the structure of ordinary chitosan.
But even if she knew this knowledge, what she said to Chen Yiqian was still a little foggy, so she opened her mouth and asked:
"What does that mean?"
"This shows that some zombies already have the ability to repair their wounds." Chen Yiqian's expression became serious: "Senior Sister Su Yu, if a creature changes in a direction that is conducive to survival, what should it be called?" ”
"What?"
"Evolution." Chen Yiqian's expression was secretive.
It's evolution again, Su Yu couldn't help but think of the zombie behavior lesson that Gao Zhengyang said.
"Are you saying that the behavioral ecology of the 'Gao hypothesis' is valid?"
Chen Yiqian nodded: "You are right to say this, just like the changes you see in these zombies that can understand instructions, and even have vision, hearing, and emotion, are all ecological evolution." But—"
He changed his words: "Senior Sister Su Yu, have you ever thought that the creatures discussed in the 'Gao Hypothesis' are zombies, but why are zombies called zombies?" Why is it said that it is the evolution of zombies, can't it be the evolution of mutant ergomycetes? ”
Ergotium mutans...... Evolution has occurred.
Su Yu instantly understood what Chen Yiqian meant.
The evolution of zombies is only a symptom, but in fact, it is supposed that the mutant ergot fungus that parasitizes the zombie brain has changed.
It has been nearly a hundred years since the outbreak of zombies, and the mutant ergot seems to be becoming "smart", no longer asking for it regardless of whether the host is alive or dead, but choosing to start repairing the body of the zombie and achieving the purpose of long-term use.
If that's the case......
Su Yu's mind had some thoughts flashing, but unfortunately, countless complicated knowledge instantly squeezed into her head, so that she didn't grasp that trace of inspiration.
She picked up a towel again and wiped the beads of sweat from the corner of her forehead, and faced Chen Yiqian: "So senior, do you want to write all these into your papers and reports?" ”
"Yes, I have the plan." Chen Yiqian replied.
However, it seems that someone is covering up these discoveries, and it is not known for what purpose. Wouldn't it be dangerous if they were to make it public? ”
"That's their business," Chen Yiqian bared his white teeth and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm above board, I'm not afraid." ”
"Then I suggest that you ask the members of the group to try not to reveal the news before the paper and report are published." Su Yu said seriously.
"Okay, don't worry about it."
Chen Yiqian looked at Su Yu's side face, and suddenly remembered the girl who was fearless in scientific research......
"Junior brother, do you think that only by learning zombie military science is to go to the battlefield?" Senior Sister smiled and patted his head: "Every major in the academy has the courage to block the gates of hell with flesh and blood. ”
That was the last thing she said to him.
So now, he has to do it without hesitation.
*
Preparations for the Fish Hunt are well underway.
The base has been closed to all students, and over the course of the next week, the academy will make some minor adjustments and inspections to the terrain and some of the buildings inside.
Whether it's in the house forums or in real life, the most talked about topic among students has become the Hunt Tournament, and everyone is predicting which team will win this time.
Since the winner of the Fish Hunt can represent Section C in the international Global Cup, the tournament is not only watched by the students and faculty of the Academy, but also by the residents of Canterlot.
Su Yu heard Wu Xu say that even the black market had already opened a handicap, and he also symbolically bet 100C coins on their team.
The official website of the college has begun to warm up, and the voting channel of the support rate will be open to the entire C major plate, as long as the person has a genetic ID, he can have the right to vote once a day.
Thirty teams, their cannon fodder team is currently ranked twenty-fifth on the support list, which is still thanks to Chen Yiqian's basic popularity of the academy, otherwise they would not have received much support with their cheap name.
Even the God Slaying Team of Wangpu in the class was ranked twenty-third, which made Zheng Wang very indignant.
Luckily, with three days to go before the start of the Hunt Tournament, the academy released posters for each team.
On the poster of the cannon fodder team, Su Yu is wearing a camouflage headband on his forehead, neat short hair tied behind his ears, and a bow and arrow with a black body behind him, and his eyes are sharp and looking ahead. Hao Tian stood side by side with her, her long hair was tied up high with a camouflage headband, she held an A-190 submachine gun in her arms, and smiled sweetly at the camera with her eyes crooked.
The three boys stood in a row behind the two of them, and Zhao Dacheng stood straight with a rifle on his back with a cold expression. Chen Yiqian lazily held the gun in his arms, and tilted his chin a little arrogantly. Only Zheng Wang raised the rifle in his hand with one hand above his head, opened his mouth and laughed.
There are not many girls participating in the whole hunting competition, most of the teams are composed of boys, and some have a female classmate sporadically, and they still have that kind of cold and ruthless appearance.
So as soon as the poster of the cannon fodder team appeared, it attracted a lot of people's interest.
Hao Tian has even been given a wonderful nickname by everyone because of the sweet smile on the poster-Submachine Gun Sweet Girl.
But she was very dissatisfied with this nickname, and felt that the "bloodthirsty god of war" that Su Yu began to spread was more domineering.
Zhao Dacheng and Chen Yiqian's appearance and Zheng Wang's sunny smile also attracted a lot of fans for the cannon fodder team.
After the poster was announced, on the last day of the warm-up deadline, the support rate of the cannon fodder team had surpassed that of Wangpu's God Slayer team and became the nineteenth on the list.
Of course, the first favorite to win the championship is still the first team of Tiger Hunters, and Shan Yi's cool stinky face still occupies the largest area at the top of the list on the official website.
And the captain of the second team of Tiger Hunters, who ranked second, is a short-haired girl who looks super cold, named Ren Huan. I heard that she acted vigorously and fiercely, and her marksmanship was very accurate, and she was a third-year zombie military student. The biggest gossip is that she has been openly pursuing Chu Wei since she won the championship last time, and even after being warned by the academy, there is no restraint.
There was a lot of information about the contestants in the Hunt Tournament, and the contest kicked off in this fiery atmosphere.
