Chapter 453 Past Events
Under the guidance of Dr. Brown, the party leading the way, the special forces accurately found various research results and research data in the base.
The robbery was really great. Not only did I gain the "Mars fungus", but I also obtained various biochemical research results that Ham had no time to destroy.
Including a series of techniques used to attack Huang Xiuyuan's hornet attractants, there are very detailed information here.
This raid was too sudden and very fast, which made the base unable to react at all. Even the last backup satellite phone was blocked from communication by the electronic interference system of the mini-aircraft.
Noah will not notice the problem with what happened here.
In fact, they are too confident and think that the Caribbean Sea is their back garden and no one can threaten them at all.
The Desert Island Base is indeed very hidden and now appears unknown, but in the 1940s and 1950s, it was a notorious biochemical base known to everyone around the world.
Because in Huang Xiuyuan's memory, the last global Resident Evil was created by this base.
This is why Huang Xiuyuan is so familiar with the interior of this base, because he paid a heavy price to eliminate mutant people and creatures in the world.
That Resident Evil broke out in 2044, quickly swept Central America and then spread to the world, raging for five years.
In the end, it was not that humans defeated the Mars fungus, but that the Mars fungus adapted to the environment of Blue Star and became more mild, and the mortality rate for animals dropped to less than one thousandth.
Of course, humans have also paid a heavy price for this, with a sharp drop of 68.4%. Many animals have become stronger with their super adaptability, and their number has increased a lot.
Perhaps some people think that there are fungi on Mars, which is simply nonsense, but Huang Xiuyuan knows that it is a fact that there are microorganisms on Mars.
The first public paper on the existence of fungi on Mars appears in 2021.
However, related information gradually decrypted in the future shows that NASA and the senior management of the United States began to initially determine that there were microorganisms on Mars as early as around 2005.
The reason why the paper on microbiology was published in 2021 was that it was because China's Mars rover "Zhurong" was about to land on Mars, and NASA released this paper because they knew it could not be hidden.
Sure enough, after Zhurong successfully landed on Mars, mushrooms formed by fungi were found twice in less than a month, and the number of fungi was not large.
At this point, humans have made some modifications to the space program exploring Mars to avoid bringing Mars' microorganisms back to the Blue Star.
But no one expected it.
In fact, Mars creatures have visited Blue Star long ago.
Since the Ancient World of Pluto, Mars has been frequently impacted by asteroids in the asteroid belt, and a large number of native microorganisms of Mars have been brought to the Blue Star by the asteroid.
However, most of Martian microorganisms are burned to death at the last level due to the friction of the atmosphere.
But over the past billion years, there have been many lucky people who have successfully escaped the filtration of the atmosphere and smuggled into the Blue Star ecosystem.
In the book "Origin of Life in the Solar System" published in 2053, 19 common microorganisms of Mars and Blue Stars were introduced. Through genetic testing and comparative analysis, it was found that these 19 types of Mars microorganisms and some microorganisms of Blue Stars had direct common ancestors.
The most recent smuggling of Martian microorganism is the well-known Mars fungus.
Humans always think that they are pure, but real humans have never been pure.
Among the genes of the modern human gene bank, in addition to the Homo sapiens gene, the main ancient ancestors, there is also a part of the Nigerian gene.
In addition, in the human gene bank, in addition to the "human" genes, there is actually a large part of them, which are the genes of "microorganisms".
Especially for strange organisms such as viruses, their genes are easily embedded in the human gene chain. To some extent, we are actually viral symbionts.
This is why, Mars fungi have a way to parasitize in the human body and then gradually coexist with humans.
But at the beginning, because the Mars fungus was not adapted to the Blue Star environment, and the Noah Society researchers randomly conducted genetically modified experiments on the Mars fungus, and they got rid of it.
When the Mars fungus gradually adapted to the Blue Star environment, the mortality rate of the host showed a decrease year by year. By the year when Huang Xiuyuan was dead, the mortality rate of the Mars fungus had dropped to about one in 450,000.
In fact, this is also one of the laws of survival of microorganisms.
Many microorganisms are either parasitic or symbiotic, and the survival mode they show is not static.
They will eventually "compromise" and gradually change from high mortality parasites to low mortality symbiosis. After all, if the host dies, they will die.
After the fungus incident in the Desert Island, the world made up its mind to comprehensively and strictly control biochemical research, especially to conduct genetically modified microorganisms, and is even more vigilant.
Humans always think that they can control everything, but underestimate the adaptability of organisms, especially microorganisms with amazing mutation speed.
"Gene locks" are very easy to fail for microorganisms. Not to mention microorganisms, even insects and human genetically modified technology are difficult to control them.
Samba tried to use genetically modified mosquitoes to eliminate normal mosquitoes. As a result, normal mosquitoes quickly evolved and were immune to the sterilization attack of genetically modified mosquitoes in just three or four generations.
Huang Xiuyuan has seen too many such things. Humans will never have a memory. There are countless incidents that have failed in genetically modified technology.
Even the genetically modified technology of mammals and plants has caused frequent problems.
He actually dared to mess with genetically modified experiments on microorganisms. If it is within the controllable range of the laboratory, it would be fine.
But he likes to commit suicide, putting genetically modified insects and genetically modified microorganisms into production and weapons, and then spreading them to nature.
The Desert Island Incident was taken seriously because it was too serious and caused heavy losses to mankind. However, there are many real scenes that have long been hidden in the paper pile of history.
After the Desert Island incident, humans filmed many related movies, as well as VR virtual game "Desert Island-Plague War" that fully restores real scenes.
At that time, Huang Xiuyuan had been working in a secret base. When he was bored, he played this game. The Desert Island Base in this game was exactly the same as the real Desert Island Base.
With a lot of background introduction, Huang Xiuyuan knew that this base was established in 1990, completed in 1995, undergoes secondary renovation in 2007, and began to study Mars fungi during 2013.
As for why not go to the Antarctic ice sheet and take the meteorite away in advance.
It’s not that Huang Xiuyuan didn’t want it, but that after the outbreak of the Desert Island incident, Noah would destroy some of the information. Among them, there was only a very vague sentence about the location of the meteorite discovery of the Mars fungus: it is located near the South Pole.
There is no specific time or location. The area around the South Pole is so vast that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is anti-collection, automatic loading fails, click to load manually, and the reading mode is not supported!
