Morgana’s revenge has begun.
Through the “Shadow Dancer Organization”, she secretly delivered some materials to several research institutes affiliated to the military. The information clearly describes how the military monitors and uses their research results, and mocks these research institutions for their willingness to be military accomplices in murder.
At the same time, dozens of large media outlets around the world also received the same anonymous message.
The information listed in detail the many evil deeds of the military. For example, using dozens of related research institutions to conduct py transactions and engage in shady activities; deliberately tarnish the reputation of researchers in order to reduce funding; monitor the operation of private enterprises, evade social responsibilities, and secretly suppress private institutions in public transactions; even Using prisoners for inhumane living experiments…
True or false, it is difficult to tell the truth from the truth, but the various scandals that Morgana carefully concocted spread one after another, causing an uproar like an earthquake and tsunami in the society.
Regardless of whether the source of the news is reliable or not, the public made a fuss for a while, and the denunciation of public opinion discredited the Planetary Council. The Planetary Council made a decisive move, and all companies that cooperated with the military were given a gag order. If someone dares to speak indiscriminately, not only the individual will be severely punished, but also the organization he belongs to will be sanctioned, and even the research results will no longer be published by the military. Party adopts.
The research results are no longer concerned by the military, but have become the biggest pain in the hearts of these institutions.
The researchers who have been fighting for this for many years are angry. They suppress their anger, but they know in their hearts that an inevitable storm is brewing.
On the other hand, Morgana did not stop her experimental activities during this period.
She placed her secret laboratory in the underground space of Ross Medicine and renovated it. On the land given to her by the Rothschild family, two other secret research institutes were built.
Using funds from private institutions, she secretly purchased a large number of top-level experimental equipment. Of course, these devices were obtained through black market channels, and were transferred countless times by intermediaries, just to avoid the military’s pursuit.
A few months later, Morgana’s experiments entered a new stage again. The combination of organisms and molds was not as uncontrollable as before. She discovered strange and abnormal behaviors in leeches infected by tn38.
Some experimental leeches that originally only had low-level biological instincts began to try to devour other leeches, forming a unique group.
Their temperaments became fierce and aggressive, and many hyphae-like organs grew on their bodies. These organs were as flexible as human fingers, and they were full of power that was completely incommensurate with the host.
It is no exaggeration to compare, if the weight of the mutant leech can be the size of a human being, then it can easily lift an elephant according to the heat energy consumption ratio of human beings.
Although the length is only ten millimeters, it must be said that this is a terrifying creature.
The habits of the tn38 mutant leech have also changed, and they can eat almost anything—
They can eat roots, algae, fish eggs, snails, small fish, rice, and amphibians.
In water, it can feed on anything it can catch—even wood.
In short, the vitality of the infected leeches was far higher than that of the normal leeches in the control group, and according to the predation records, the intelligence level of the infected leeches was also significantly improved.
According to previous research, Morgana believes that it is the fusion of tn38 that allows the leech to evolve a complex nervous system unique to advanced intelligent life. The advanced nervous system allows leeches to have self-conscious behaviors, which are manifested in crazy eating behaviors and devouring their own kind.
Leeches that produce self-awareness can even assimilate and replicate other biological cells. After studying the newly formed cells inside the leeches, Morgana realized that the mold had mutated the leeches’ genes.
During the experiment, it is likely that a sudden temperature change occurred, which induced the mutation of infected leeches.
And one of the leeches quietly mutated genetically and became the ancestor of the new group.
At first, Morgana thought that the appearance of the ancestor of the leech was related to its strong vitality, and the temperature had little effect on the mutation, but the experimental results taught her a solid lesson.
After checking several sets of temperature records, Morgana’s guess was confirmed—temperature has a stronger influence on the host infected by tn38 than plants.
The germ cells of one leech progenitor mutated, copied two sets of chromosomes, and combined with another leech that may not be an infected body, resulting in a triploid mutant leech with three sets of chromosomes.
Researchers know that if humans undergo genetic mutations during reproduction and become triploid, they will easily die and become deformed…
However, not only did the mutated monster survive without any deformities, it was healthier—and even, as a result, acquired a special ability that none of its ancestors possessed.
Parthenogenesis.
In this world, this primordial leech does not have any companions, of the same kind—it cannot reproduce with leeches of the parent’s race, but it does not need to.
It is the world’s first mutant leech capable of parthenogenesis.
This mutated leech successfully induced its own somatic cells to develop into embryos, and allowed all embryos to inherit these three sets of chromosomes, obtaining a way of self-cloning.
From this first ancestor, a new species has appeared in the world.
Every offspring it breeds is exactly the same as it, even from a genetic point of view, this is the same leech.
They are all exactly the same, as if “cancer cells attack the host.”
So also the offspring of its offspring—
It’s almost like a clone army!
For the protozoa in the world, this is a completely irresistible and crushing blow.
With this discovery, Morgana then speculated that this leech really did not combine with other leeches, and was completely mutated under the action of mold.
Mold genes played a key role in the mutation process, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com shows that in addition to being able to fuse with plants, it can also fuse with other organisms at the cellular level.
After fusion, the two species become one and become a completely new host symbiont.
Morgana and her independent team continued to accelerate the research on the fusion of leeches and mycoviruses, and soon obtained strong experimental data.
Another important study proves that tn38 can inhibit the side effects of excessive gene mutations. It eliminates the original habits of leeches and indirectly changes the ecological environment of leeches. It is an upgraded version 2.0 of plant tn38, which may be called “symbiotic system”.
This system allows the tn38 host to create an environment that is beneficial to itself, and then dominate this environment system and become the only seedling.
The so-called virus will remain in the host forever, relying on self-division to become a new population.
To put it simply, in Morgana’s eyes, viruses are not just a driving force for repairing biological genes.
It is also the driving force to promote biological evolution, and it is by no means a human disaster that must be eliminated!
