Star of Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 144

The combination of tn38 and mold is based on chance in nature.

The Antarctic ice lake that has been frozen for tens of millions of years has blocked the path of evolution, making chance inevitable. However, the combination with other creatures has huge variables of human intervention, so it is more like humans are challenging the authority of nature.

Morgana’s specific method is to use her own unique technology to encode the gene of tn38, and use quantum computing to obtain a set of complex genetic code pedigree.

At the beginning of this technology, it was to distinguish the six mother plants from their offspring. Her research team used “Megan” as a metaphor for the mother plant, and marked it with specific particles, and the offspring instead of “Megan” were They were named “Jabba”, and they were sorted sequentially starting from “Jabba” No. 1, so that researchers could observe the genetic status of the offspring.

This is a research method with a genius idea, and only Morgana can think of it—she wants to make the virus tn38 not only applicable to plants, but also applicable to animals.

With her obsession, she will enter another taboo research field and go on another road.

At first, Morgana used the leech cell and the mold virus gene to fuse at the molecular level, and the two lived in peace. The combination of the virus and the cells in the leeches was stable, and all the leeches survived without any adverse reactions. The experiment seemed to be going well.

However, this is only the most basic step, because living in peace means that nothing has changed, it is just a simple symbiosis between two creatures.

The next change is what amazed the world. Morgana confirmed that her theory is feasible—leeches are creatures with a strong physique. The variety has increased by more than 30%, and even cut into several sections, it can recover in a short time and become a single individual. The regeneration ability has also increased several times, and it has become a super leech.

This shows that tn38 can be activated by hosts other than mold, and begin to affect the host organism, trying to modify the host’s cells and genes to adapt to a more cruel environment.

A few months later, Morgana obtained a large amount of biological data of surviving leeches. Under the condition that the basic conditions remained unchanged, she analyzed the various data of “Jabba” leeches, and obtained several sets of shocking results: the mold not only Able to alter the host’s body and seem to affect its behaviour.

In order to further measure where the limit of abnormal biological behavior is, she decided to take a risk and try to increase the amount of mold virus, and artificially speed up the progress of the experiment.

A few weeks later, the results of the desperate experiment appeared, and the bad news came one after another—

In addition to killing the host organisms, molds infected with the tn38 virus did not make the hosts stronger, but made them completely uncontrollable.

The ferocious mold began to grow wildly, phagocytized the host, built an ecology on the remains of the host, sucked up nutrients, and turned into a terrifying species that looked exactly the same as the original host but never existed on earth.

The low-temperature airflow and high temperature are difficult to kill it. After several attempts, the laboratory was forced to sound the red alarm representing the highest level of danger. The unmanned machine wearing a chemical protective suit rushed out and sprayed a strong acid solution to destroy the experimental body. , from causing a greater biochemical disaster.

On that day, Morgana stood outside the laboratory and witnessed the destruction of her research results for nearly half a year.

After learning from the pain, she began to ask, what went wrong?

In fact, Morgana has already guessed some reasons in her heart: the evolution of creatures in nature takes an extremely long time, and complex ecological environments often require gentle changes, allowing biological genes to adapt through inheritance. No matter what kind of organisms, only after many generations of reproduction and adapting to a safe environment will the uncontrollable situations of the organisms themselves be eliminated.

Otherwise, this approach is tantamount to counterproductive!

For example, it’s like the technology tree needs to be clicked one by one, and even if a link is missing, there is no such thing as leapfrog development.

A large dose of mold caused the leech’s own immune system to collapse, and the virus turned against the host and invaded the host’s body and nervous system. The inherent characteristics of the mold itself copy the genes of the host, iterate quickly, and look more like the host. As a result, the flora developed in an uncontrollable direction, and the experiment finally turned into a disaster.

Morgana is well aware that the activism in the experiment is so terrible, that the act of rushing and putting the cart before the horse violates the laws of nature.

A truly rigorous scientific research should not be like this; and a real researcher will be more careful in doing this kind of experiment with the Creator.

But time…

Plenty of time… time tighter than any resource…

Morgana needs time.

She had no other choice. In order to meet the requirements of the military’s ultimatum time, she could only bite the bullet and continue the experiment. The gap between reality and dream cannot be closed, and she must do it all over again.

Go all the way and fight with your back!

She suddenly thought, since evolution is an accidental result of natural selection, why can’t she be an invisible “God” once?

As long as the probability is feasible, she must bet on her own luck!

Sadly, Morgana had no idea at the time that there were many reasons for all this trouble, not just her experiments.

The harsher reality is that when the “Project Titan” was launched, some senior executives in Ross Medicine were bought by the military and Rogge. They planned to expel Morgana completely and steal the research results for themselves.

At that time, there was a faction within the military~www.mtlnovel.com~ These people were in high positions and had a perverted desire to control the “Titan Project”. Many scholars in the military system have joined this faction, and behind these people, there is a mysterious organization hidden.

This organization promotes naturalism and secretly opposes all human intervention in nature. No one knows why they do this.

Although this faction is in the military, it has always wanted to control Morgana by controlling Rose Medicine. The reason is very simple. What these people value is tn38 in her hand.

After weaponization of things like tn38, the military value is far higher than the medical value, and it’s not even a little bit higher, it’s as high as ever!

In their view, this may be God’s prohibition.

By the way, this mysterious organization is called the Supreme God Cult.

After the announcement of “Project Titan”, the Planetary Council immediately made this matter the top secret of the entire Blue Star.

The research on related technologies has also become the top priority of all the plans of the Planetary Council. Hundreds of billions of budgets flow to this plan through various channels, and the most cutting-edge talents are secretly selected.

In this matter, although Rogge and the military have different ideas, the means for the actual purpose coincide with each other.

Forcing Morgana to hand over the research results is only the first step of Rogge’s secret plan.

In terms of muddying the water, his idea is very simple, but the means are endless. That is, no matter who is against Morgana, he, Rogge, will definitely help out. Break her down, humiliate her, strip her of the halo of superiority, and then watch a generation of family geniuses completely wiped out while laughing wildly.

Only then can he relieve the hatred in his heart!
