MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 177 source of variant

Qiu Zhe cleared his throat and continued: "I said before that mitochondria have their own genetic material and are controlled by a small amount of genes they contain. The T-primarch is more interesting, it not only has its own genetic material, but also contains a large number of genes. Fragment, note, fragment. That's what fascinates me the most."

"Somehow, these gene fragments seem to be locked and cannot be activated until the zombies are under the influence of the T-primarch, eat a lot of human flesh, and after gaining enough energy, it is like opening the gene lock, click, haha , the fragments in it will be randomly activated, and then the zombies will complete genetic mutation and physical mutation, and the process is so fast that in my opinion, it can be described as 'magic'."

"After the mutation is completed, it becomes what you call a mutant. If the T-primarch is likened to a larva, then the T-primarch in its body will truly grow into an adult after the zombie that resides in it becomes a mutant, and has the New abilities, such as phagocytosis of the hippocampus that store memory, enable the mutant to regain memory and have a certain ability to think. Of course, because part of the brain tissue is swallowed by the T-primarch, this thinking ability and memory ability will be far worse than before. ."

   "And the mutant will also have a stronger desire for human flesh, which may be affected by the consciousness of the T-primarch, or it may be to unlock other gene fragments and continue to evolve."

"But the question is, why does it have to be cannibalism? Also, the T-protoplasm is different from ordinary viruses. Ordinary viruses do not have the ability to spread infection across species, but the T-protoplasm may not. However, other than humans, what animals are What about infection and mutation? No! President Yang, with your wisdom, you should be able to think of its meaning, right?"

   Yang Xiaoqian was silent for a long time without answering, because the answer that emerged shocked him too much.

   Assuming that T. protoplasm is a viroid that can be transmitted across species, why only humans can be infected? After being infected and turning into zombies, why do zombies only eat human flesh? When it comes to obtaining energy, the meat of other animals is as rich in protein, why is it human?

   The answer is obvious, if this is a virus, this is a programming virus designed for humans, only used to infect humans, and the T-primarch consciousness affects the host, so that zombies will only attack and hunt humans.

   But it's far more than that simple. Think about the gene fragments and unlock conditions in the T Primarch, which are very similar to the game reward mechanism.

Looking at the evolution of the T primordial body and its mutants from another angle, if it is regarded as a game, it is like fighting monsters to gain experience and then upgrade to unlock new skills, but in this game, humans are NPC monsters that will not refresh, Zombies and mutants are players.

"It seems that President Yang thinks the same as I think." Qiu Zhe adjusted the black-rimmed glasses, and wanted the real Mr. Qiu on the other side of the screen to appreciate Yang Xiaoqian's expression, but he could only see a cloud of black mist. "What amazes me even more is that the gene fragments contained in a T-primarch may not be exactly the same, they are always in a state of change, as many as the stars in the sky, oh no, there are not many stars in the sky now, as many as in the ocean. Water droplets! It really made me indulge in it and couldn't extricate myself."

   "Intoxicated?" With Yang Xiaoqian's mentality, he couldn't understand Qiu Zhe's excited tone.

"Yes, intoxicated!" Qiu Zhe shouted loudly, "President Yang, you may not realize the huge potential value of this. I can briefly explain to you that the T Primarch can control the host's consciousness, so monsters and The ideology of the mutants has fundamentally changed, but if I can avoid this step and directly cut out the gene fragments in the T-prime body and find a suitable way to use it, I can create a mutant that does not eat people, Or, a real super soldier; if I can understand the way the T-primarch supplies energy to the host, I can replicate a new energy supply system that enables humans to break the shackles of the physical limit; if I can understand that the T-primarch affects the host By means of consciousness, I can even create new creatures that control the consciousness of others! What kind of ability is that? That is the privilege of the Creator.”

   Speaking of this, Qiu Zhe burst into a hysterical laugh like a nervous.

   "Oh?" Yang Xiaoqian didn't listen to the madman's other thoughts, but only heard his sentence "Can create mutants that don't eat people".

If such a technology can mature, human beings will undoubtedly take a big step in biotechnology, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the small seedlings of the biotechnology tree have grown into towering trees. More importantly, this can directly make the human being as a whole. The power of strides forward.

Although the    Awakened is strong, the number of them is too small, the conditions for generating them are unstable, and the conditions for using their abilities are too harsh. If Qiu Zhezhen can create the so-called "mutant that does not eat people", Yang Xiaoqian is not disgusted with using dead bodies to make biological weapons, because with one more super soldier, the power to guard the far river and human beings will be stronger, so hope Brighter.

"Mr. Qiu, how is the current research progress? Is the enhanced medicine carried by Hou Jie a by-product of this kind of related research?" Speaking of this, Yang Xiaoqian calmed down his turbulent mood, not at all worried about the person on Jiangxin Island who had already Subjects receiving booster injections.

   is just a death row prisoner who does all kinds of evil. Even if he becomes a mutant, he will be smashed to the ground in the first place, and it is impossible to cause any threat, and no one will feel sad about it.

"That's right, but the enhancer that Hou Jie brought is just a secondary product developed two months ago. As long as President Yang is willing to provide the help I need, I can provide you with better products." Qiu Zheli He opened his white coat and took out a needle from the pocket of his underwear, with a reddish liquid floating in it.

"Yeah." Yang Xiaoqian suddenly thought of another question, and instead of asking about the effect of the enhanced potion, he instead asked, "Mr. Qiu, is it possible to develop a virus-inhibiting serum with your ability? Is it possible to transform zombies into Normal people? If it's impossible, is it possible to save someone who was bitten and caught by a zombie?"

"Why do you want to add a sentence about my ability? This is a very low-level trick." Qiu Zhe smiled confidently, "It is impossible to transform a zombie into a normal person, because the zombie is already dead, whether it is physiological or physical Defined by ideology, they are no longer living, and there is no possibility of saving them. As for the serum that inhibits the T-primarch, it is possible to develop it."

   The black mist on Yang Xiaoqian's face suddenly dissipated, revealing his shining eyes and surprised face.
