Chapter 542 The explorers two hundred years ago
The mutated algae on this scientific research spacecraft should be divided into two parts. Standing on the platform, he thought like this, partly the extremely active cyanobacteria that climbed onto the surface of the spacecraft and could absorb the sunlight, while the other part was the primitive algae inside the spacecraft that was almost withered.
My previous reckless actions may have awakened those long-sleeping parasites.
No matter how much regret it, it would be useless. He went forward according to the regional map while thinking about the characteristics of those creatures.
First of all, what are their senses? The senses of plants are more primitive than animals. They do not have obvious nervous systems, let alone the most primitive cyanobacteria. However, the mutated algae parasitized on those dead bodies fuse with the cells of the corpse and quickly produce mutations with specific functions. The primitive plasmids of cyanobacteria alone cannot carry these complex advanced functions.
He walked through the dark cabin. He was originally the most secure part of the entire ship, but now he was full of ruins. The thick and thick blue glue covered the glass and metal unstructuredly, shaking slightly with his footsteps.
Can they feel the vibration?
He turned on the switch of the laser emitter and adjusted it into a constant beam pattern. A dazzling incandescent light flow shot out from the front end of the large flashlight, dancing with his wrist like a knife. A beam of blue colloid blocking the hatch door quickly dried up and scorched under the burning of the laser, curled up into a small ball and fell to the ground.
He carefully observed the movements of these blue colloids, and the mutant algae seemed to twitch for a moment, which might be an hallucination.
He didn't trust his reason too much. Seeing the beautiful and sad woman in white repeatedly made him feel that his brain seemed to be gradually collapsing. Perhaps it was the hallucination caused by the spores that numb his brain. It was like some toxins that could act as hallucinogens in the sacrifices of primitive religions. These proteins, amino acids, and alcohols can always hybridize with the human nervous system to create strange effects.
A strange buzzing sound came from the front. A creature that looked somewhat human-shaped came over from the other end of the corridor. Its head was strangely enlarged, and blue and red gum oozed out of its body. He could even observe the hollows in its abdominal cavity, with the thick colloid filled therein.
Its clothes were not completely decayed, and the cloth hanging on its body was probably a white research suit two hundred years ago. When he saw him, the monster staggered towards him.
Does it have vision? Or track heat energy? Or pheromone? Or slight vibrations of the air?
He carefully observed the colloids on the surface of its body, and if it was frozen, it was slightly trembling in the air. It was the vibration of the air. He reached a preliminary conclusion, perhaps the comprehensive perception system of multiple senses. It invaded the body and took the nervous system of the corpse for itself...
He deliberately tapped the ground with the tip of his shoe, and the other party stuttered slightly, and then began to run faster. The zombie, who had been immortal for two hundred years, began to mutate at a speed that surprised him. It ran while sprinkling blue slurry from its body, as funny as a leaking kettle, but the rolled muscles and bones were not so funny. The black dry muscle bundle combined with the bone pieces to form several deadly whips and waved at him at high speed.
The enlarged head seemed to be turning slightly, detecting his direction. The whip that was slamming in the air was like a deadly storm. He bent down in a mess to reduce his area. The wall closest to the storm was beaten out with shallow marks, and the alloy wall was as crisp as a cake... The power of this whip was quite deadly.
He counted silently in his heart. When he counted to three, he suddenly turned on the laser emitter. The hot laser accurately cut off the middle part of the muscle whip, and dark colloid sprayed out from the fracture. The monster let out a sharp scream - perhaps a scream - he continued to scratch the line of death in his hand, and the hot laser focused on the other party's knee joint for a second. The fragile corpse suddenly fell to the ground with a thump, and its legs bent to the side in a twisted posture.
He could see that there were still many blue glue trying to repair the body, trying to create further mutations, but it eventually became sluggish.
Your own judgment is correct.
The reason why these lives can quickly change their bodies is due to the support of a large amount of cytoplasm and energy, and perhaps a very large amount of stem cell storage, which can quickly differentiate into functional cells as needed. However, in any case, they need energy, and they only turned on the white lighting for about thirty seconds before. These thirty seconds of energy replenishment may not support them for long-term and vigorous activities.
There is no doubt that if you deal with it improperly, algae parasites that use only these energy will be enough to kill themselves and turn their bodies into one of them, but at least you don’t have to be afraid of facing the immortal corpse that can’t be killed no matter how hard you kill them.
About fifteen minutes later, he found a terminal that could still be turned on. When all operating terminals were damaged by ubiquitous blue glue pollution, the terminal was placed in a high-security control room and had a complete air filtration system, so it was able to maintain its integrity.
After crossing a corpse that was destroyed by himself, he entered the storage room of the terminal with a level A permission. Just a glance at the data stored inside made him dizzy. These precious experimental data can be described as vast as a sea of smoke. Thousands of experiments and tens of thousands of tests were meticulously archived, so he had to read all the summary papers.
"Divine Seal...Divine Seal..."
His eyes were focused on the internal article "Assessment of the Bioengineering Significance and Practicality of Extraterrestrial Civilization Relics".
Next, he spent a few minutes roughly scanning the contents of this article.
In the upper 23rd century, the Earth government discovered an ancient object in the Gulf of Mexico during an ordinary scientific expedition. The discovery process was related to a famous scientific researcher, Michael Altman, who later died mysteriously, and the whereabouts of the scientific research team were also listed as the highest secret.
The Earth government named this ancient statue, which is by no means a product of Earth civilization, as the "Divine Seal". Its specific shape is similar to two circling and rising tentacles. In a semiotic sense, it is more similar to an impressionistic expression of a double-stranded gene. The symbols engraved on its surface are also deciphered as a gene code, a viral gene that is extremely infectious, highly reproductive, and extremely dangerous.
And this is not its most crazy trait. The reason why the Earth government regards it as a treasure is because it can provide unlimited energy.
For some reason that technology cannot understand at present, the "Divine Seal" can emit infinite energy. For the Earth government, which has frequent civil wars due to resource exhaustion and people complained greatly, the Divine Seal is the key to solving human energy problems, and huge resources have been invested in the research of the Divine Seal.
With the mid-23rd century, Dr. Ishimura invented the Shock-point high-energy space jump engine technology, and the Earth government began to vigorously develop interplanetary colonization in order to alleviate internal population pressure. Research on the Divine Seal continued, and for the sake of security and confidentiality, these research projects were arranged on the distant interstellar frontiers far away from the earth.
The scientific research ship "Hornet" and the military frigate "Storm" are the messengers who perform this mission. On the planet Six of Scorpio Alpha, researchers tried to create a new divine seal with inverse reduction engineering, but due to insufficient technology, this imitation is a "failed product" and cannot provide energy. Unlike the black of the original divine seal, the surface of this failed product is red, and the interior is called "black divine seal" and "red divine seal" respectively.
The failure of the inverse reduction project does not affect the next experimental goal. As an outpost for future deep space colonization, scientists from Scorpio VI have changed their main research project to planetary greening projects, trying to transform satellites into environments suitable for human habitation.
The planet named "Faeton" has a thin atmosphere and a basic marine environment. Biologists among the researchers tried to implant cyanobacteria plasmids through the powerful assimilation and proliferation function of the Shenyin genome, intending to adjust the proportion of air components of the planet's atmospheric system through the modified cyanobacteria waters.
Previous experiments have proved that the combination of the genome of the original divine seal with animals can create a weird and terrifying killing machine, and researchers are trying to combine the genome of the surface of the divine seal with the simplest single-cell life through this incomplete replicate the genome of the divine seal with the simplest single-cell life, hoping to reduce its danger in this harmonious way and control its amazing activity for your own use.
This article was probably written in the early stages of the research process, revealing the unique humble self-confidence of scientific researchers between the lines. He continued to look through the subsequent articles, which included several papers and the titles of internal communications that were quite disturbing.
"The Link between the Abnormal Mental Diseases of Researchers at the Faeton Base and the Divine Seal", "The Fifth Experimental Facility Safety Assessment", "Does the Divine Seal itself have self-will?", "Letter to All Staff", etc. He also found the communication system in this terminal and some letters that still existed in it. By the end of the experiment, as the climate and ecological research base on the surface of the planet occurred, the incident called the "Feton Massacre" occurred, all researchers fell into great panic, and the two spacecraft entered a state of military control at the same time.
