Armor Frenzy

Ye Han pondered: "According to this, the giant dragonfly we encountered at the beginning was a first-generation giant insect; later, those giant ants were all second-generation giant insects?"

"It should be. ㈧㈠Chinese website Δん⒈" Professor Qin said.

"Can all insects be infected with puffed viruses?"

"There is no existing type of immunity, at most the difference in body size."

Ye Han immediately remembered the butterfly he caught: "Fist ants?"

"Obviously, I will tell you responsibly that the boxer ant and the giant ant are the same kind of ant, two fruits that bear on the same tree."

Ye Han wanted to scold her mother.

Professor Qin continued: "Not all insects can grow several meters long, modern times are not ancient times, and the natural environment is not suitable for giant insects to survive, but the role of puffed viruses is not only as simple as giant growth, but also affects other physiological characteristics of insects. , to make giant insects more adaptable to the modern natural environment. At present, we only know so much about puffed viruses. More in-depth research is underway. It is hard to imagine that a virus can play so many roles. If we can By mastering the principle, a real artificial retrovirus can be created."

"Artificial virus?" Ye Han suddenly widened his eyes, "Is it something that modifies genes?"

"It's okay to say that." Professor Qin said.

Ye Han suddenly remembered all kinds of modified people in novels, movies and cartoons, all kinds of androids and half-orcs, and suddenly made a clever call: "Gene modification?"

"Hey, do you know about genetic modification?" Professor Qin was surprised.

"I also know that using animal genes to enhance human genes." Ye Han said in a low voice, "Professor, genes are the domain of God, have you ever thought about the consequences of using retroviruses?"

There was an obvious pause in Professor Qin's voice: "Xiao Ye, I really underestimate you, do you think we old guys, like the mad scientists in the movie, will use retroviruses to transform people Gene."

Ye Han pursed his lips, and after thinking for a while, said slowly: "You may not, but what about other people? What about the country? It can even be said to be extreme. What if this technology is mastered by terrorist organizations?"

"Xiaoye, you said that when Einstein expressed his theory of relativity, did he ever think that nuclear weapons would change the world?"

Ye Han was startled: "Professor, I don't understand what you mean."

The professor said earnestly: "Technology can change the world, but in the final analysis, it is human beings who change the world. Not to mention that the research on reverse transcription has no clue, what if it is really researched? Transform human genes and let everyone All become human? Isn't that a good thing?"

"Can this be considered a good thing?" Ye Han looked confused.

"It's really not good for an individual to be too strong, but just like a nuclear bomb, several major countries have nuclear weapons that have destroyed the earth several times, but it has been more than half a century, has a nuclear war started? We have long been accustomed to living in the shadow of nuclear bombs. If the reform of the people is popular in the future, no matter in society, law or other aspects, corresponding changes will inevitably be made to form a new social order.”

Ye Han was at a loss, and felt that Professor Qin's words made sense, but he couldn't understand the specifics for a while.

"Also, don't take retrogenes so much. To put it bluntly, cells with genetic mutations are cancer cells. Even the simplest genetic modification may cause large-scale cell mutation. The penetrance in human genes The son is less than 1.5% of the total number of genes, and the remaining 97% of the genes are all of unknown function!"

Professor Qin paused when he said this: "It's very simple to embed the genes of another organism into the human gene chain, but the ghost knows which part of the sleeping gene will be awakened by doing so, and the ghost can't guess what the final result will be. , So, even if this thing is really researched, it is hard to say whether it can be used on people, you should not worry about this kind of ridiculous thing!"

"real?"

"Can I lie to you? Besides, it's not that there is no similar technology now, and they are basically used in the medical field. The genetic medicine that kills cancer cells at a specific point is one of them. If the puffed virus can really be studied, It must also be used in medicine first. It would be good to treat intractable diseases such as genetic diseases, transforming people? Maybe there is hope after waiting for another hundred and eighty years, my old man can't wait for that day."

"Look at what you said..."

"Don't fool my old man with words, can I still not know about myself?" Professor Qin said openly.

Ye Han couldn't help but fell silent, he didn't know how to answer these words at all.

Seeing that there was no sound in the receiver, Professor Qin asked, "Xiao Ye, do you have anything else to do?"

"Uh, yes!" Ye Han suddenly remembered the discussion in the car just now, "Professor, apart from insects, is there no other biological infection? I heard that there is a cancer in the south."

"I also heard about this, and the laboratory has also done some experiments, and the situation is very bad."

"how?"

"In addition to insects, after the crustaceans are infected with the puffing virus, their body shape has also changed to a certain extent. I have a large crayfish here, and the tail is stretched to a length of half a meter!"

Half a meter long crayfish?

Ye Han instinctively thought of the huge lobster on the wine table: "How big should a real lobster grow? A car or a bus?"

Crabs can become giants, but lobsters can't make sense.

"There is no news on this yet," said Professor Qin, "but salt water can effectively kill puffed viruses, and the possibility of lobster infection is very small."

"Is it possible to be small?"

"Yes!" Professor Qin admitted, "Either lobster or crab, the salinity in the body is not as high as that of seawater. If the food contains puffed viruses, marine organisms may spread the virus through the food chain... No, the consequences are too serious. Now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I have to arrange an experiment quickly!"

"Professor, don't forget to tell me...Professor?" There was no sound on the phone.

Ye Han scratched his head vigorously, causing a headache for no apparent reason.

There is no relationship between insects and lobsters and crabs. The only thing in common is the layer of chitin in the body!

Could it be that the expansion of the creature has something to do with whether it is a crustacean creature?

Ye Han suddenly felt a little dizzy. There are countless crustaceans in the ocean. If the puffed virus really spreads among the marine life... What are the consequences?

Four or five-meter-long lobsters, table-sized crabs, scallops larger than a table, conch like a small house, and king crab larger than a car... Sea turtles also have shells. If they can also be affected by the puffing virus, will they not Will there be turtles the size of an island?

And those zooplankton with crustaceans, what will they look like if they are infected with the puffed virus?

The more Ye Han thought about it, the more confused his brain became, and his brain almost crashed on the spot. (To be continued.)
