Star of Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 163
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Civilization Star God Tribulation!
The ultraviolet light in the laboratory area is specially designed to adapt to plant research. The lighting system is controlled by an extremely precise program and can be adjusted at any time. The light is now similar to the natural spring afternoon sun, and the temperature is just right.
As she passed a solid glass window, Morgana slowed down and glanced sideways. The glass as smooth as a mirror reflected her face, a little thin, and the scarlet in the pupils was so obvious, she immediately stopped and looked at the glass.
She saw a small piece of red hyphae in the pupils, these hyphae are extremely sensitive to light, all over the eyeball.
“Is the mutation already so serious…?”
Morgana muttered, turned around, and looked at the corridor next to her. She couldn’t see the distant scenery clearly, but she could still feel that this corridor was no different from before.
“It’s the early stage of fusion… According to the data of the experimental body, it should be three weeks before this happens? Could it be that this is a unique reaction of my body…”
When human cells are combined with tn38+, the ecology of the slime mold will react with the ecology of the host at the genetic level and infiltrate each other. At this time, the ecological barriers between the two are no longer so clear, but towards a certain degree of “integration”. This stage is called “the early stage of host ecological construction”.
The fungus found by Morgana in the ice lake of Antarctica is ancient and peculiar, and it can be called the ancestor of modern plants in terms of biology. Although the mold spores do not contain chlorophyll, tens of thousands of genetic experiments by the research team have proved that they can integrate well with various plants.
Since there is no rejection reaction at all, after the slime mold fuses with the host, it becomes a powerful new life form, which has the characteristics of shaping all life forms, which can be called a miracle in the world.
One of the most notable results is that components similar to plant chlorophyll appear in the host’s red blood cells. Before the final struggle of fusion, the human red blood cells will concentrate in various important organs of the body, such as eyeballs. After that, chlorophyll is completely integrated into human genes, absorbs ultraviolet rays, plays a role, and then transforms the ecology of the host, and self-regulates with changes in the external environment.
As a senior researcher of genetic engineering, Morgana naturally knew that this period required a large amount of biological energy to be consumed.
If you only see the result, there is only one host who cannot survive this period, death.
Fortunately, there is another nature in the genes of organisms, that is, reproduction and replication.
Reproduction comes from the genetic characteristics of the mother’s gene, which will cause the individuals who cannot bear the gene fusion to die out quickly, and new individuals will be born to inherit the characteristics of the original mother.
Morgana brushed her hair, knowing exactly what she was going to do next. She hopes to create something that lasts a little longer than life.
In my ears, I heard the last advice from the elders of the family again: “No matter how things change, you must always do reasonable things at a reasonable time, and don’t try to do the right thing. There are no right things in this world, only reasonable things .”
So, she’s doing the right thing now.
She had already recognized the face of the military and saw through their purpose. There is nothing new in the world under the sun. Even though the military had helped her carry out research at the beginning, in the end, I could only surrender under the protection of their “enthusiasm wings”.
Even if she compromised every step of the way and made compromises, what she got in the end was nothing more than the other party’s progress and killing them all.
There is no so-called help, it is all benefits, and making a deal with the devil is always seeking skin with a tiger!
Morgana walked towards the end of the corridor, where there was another special area behind the door. The interior of the research institute is still clean and tidy, transparent and rigorous, full of sense of science and technology. The bright light comes on immediately after her arrival, and there are experimental objects, experimental device models and plant specimens that have not yet been tested everywhere.
She walked slowly to a certain laboratory area. After receiving the access permission from the highest authority, the solid triple sensor doors opened in front of her one by one. The spray disinfection equipment was not turned on and sprayed a thick sterilizing liquid, and the red shimmer lighted up. , and soon went out again.
The temperature inside is extremely low, and several thick liquid nitrogen pipes extend from the top of the head to the inside of the facility. Ordinary people must wear thick heat-insulating clothing to enter, otherwise they will freeze to death.
But Morgana just walked in without paying attention, as if she had forgotten what this place was.
Since being in contact with the gene of the tn38 mold, Morgana has evolved an ability and a few side effects: accompanied by nerve tingling, her hands often sweat, blood-red sweat, she knows, it is mold spores Binds to own hemoglobin.
In recent days, something is wrong with her body. Her hearing is severely damaged, but her perception has been multiplied. The plants all over the laboratory seem to have become her senses.
She can often hear strange sounds, like someone whispering in her head, and she wonders if this side effect portends more outrageous mutations.
According to the previous human experiment data of Yutong and Gero, Morgana is very sure that she is experiencing the same hallucinations as them.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
She suspected that this was because she had used a special ability once after the meeting at the seaside. Using her control over plants, she easily killed several soldiers and an officer named Li Yinlong.
It was a strange feeling, allowing her to control the mold and blend in with her surroundings, doing anything she couldn’t do before. This was the first time Morgana used this ability, and it also caused an overreaction of the brain’s nerve center.
She vaguely felt that the whisper was like a residual terrible memory, or a dream reflected in reality, which had a terrifying impact on her consciousness.
As for how the whispering sound came about, she has yet to find the answer.
Judging by the nuances of perception, she soon realized that what she heard were the sounds of plants, which may be an unknown research area in the process of biological evolution!
Plants not only have their own language, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com but also have memory, which was confirmed by humans a hundred years ago. For plants, there is no nervous system and brain to provide memory functions, so they must rely on cellular memory to perceive ecological changes, just like mimosa plants responding violently to closed leaves when they receive unfamiliar mechanical stimuli.
Plants pass on the memory in their genes to their offspring, and a brand-new ecology brings her a brand-new consciousness, allowing her to gain the perception of plants within the range. Those whispers are actually plants “speaking”.
Another example of plants having memory is the response to light. When light shines on a leaf, it causes the entire plant to respond. But the amazing thing is that this kind of chemical reaction between the leaves caused by light is just that people have illuminated the roots of the plant, and as a result, the upper part of the plant has changed, and after the light disappears, this change continues in the dark.
When light triggers a chemical reaction in one leaf cell, it causes a series of changes that are immediately communicated to the rest of the plant through specialized cells called “cell fiber bundles.”
Morgana deliberately searched the experimental data left by the predecessors, and after in-depth exploration, she found that plants also have self-awareness, and they are so different!
