  Chapter 318 Cross-species gene fusion and group consciousness

   "What the hell? The white mouse cheated on the corpse?"

   Tang Rui received a report from Honglian as soon as he woke up.

   All the mice on Mars that were used as virus experiments were deceitful, and even the half-dissected mice got up.

   It was pretty scary at first.

  Later, a group of scientists discovered that all these little white mice had no intelligence, so they boldly studied them.

  The result is that the virus that erodes the neuron tissue mutates, completely takes over the neurons, and forcibly controls the activity of the mice.

   "Guren, show the video."

   "Okay, master."

  On the projection screen, a group of white mice got up, headed in one direction, and then began to hit the glass non-stop.

   After watching this video.

  Tang Rui curiously asked Honglian where the mouse was facing, and the answer he got was the location where the Mars base had drilled.

It is clear.

   There is something wrong with this virus.

   "How long will it take for the spacecraft to reach Mars?"

   "It will take three hours and nineteen minutes."

   "OK, let me know when it arrives."

  Wake up and have breakfast.

  Tang Rui returned to the laboratory, contacted the Mars base, and communicated with it to see if there was any progress.

   "Academician Tang, this is not a virus."

   "Not a virus?"

   "Yes, this should be a special kind of microorganism, or a special kind of microorganism disguised as a virus, but not a virus."

  After the scientist on Mars finished speaking, he showed him the data of the mutated virus in the mice yesterday.

   Don't say anything else.

  The gene sequences of the original virus and the mutated virus are completely different.

  The most frightening thing is that when this virus mutates, its internal special gene code will be transformed into different gene sequences according to the different genes of the invading organism.

  Simply speaking, after the virus that invaded mice and the virus that invaded human body mutated, the gene sequences of the two viruses were different.

   This mutation will completely adapt to the host's genes without any rejection reaction.

   Even the function of neuron tissue can be completely simulated without any difference.

  If it weren't for someone's brain opening yesterday.

  Injecting hallucinogenic drugs into mice, I really couldn't find this situation.

   "So, this microorganism is a special kind of life?"

   "That's right, but we are more inclined that this is a biochemical weapon, or a means of predation by a special kind of life."

   Tang Rui nodded after listening.

   The emphasis on this virus has been raised to another level.

  It is highly contagious, can invade the body, can carry out targeted genetic modification and fusion, and is controlled by a certain mother.

   "Be careful yourselves, the spaceship I sent will arrive in more than two hours, and I will investigate that underground world then."

   "We are fine. Yesterday's discovery overturned our previous research. We are currently analyzing the genetic changes before and after the mutation of the virus, trying to find that special gene."

   Don't need Tang Rui's comfort. These biologists are not afraid at all, but are still very excited to do research there.

joke.

  The value of this virus is inestimable.

  Once it is understood how the virus perfectly transforms the fusion gene, the problem of cross-species gene fusion will no longer be a problem.

   At that time, the cat ear girl will not be exclusive to the second dimension.

noon.

  The spacecraft that Guren launched yesterday finally arrived at Mars.

  After the plane landed on the edge of the Mars base, more than a dozen robots moved the life support box containing the mice into the base.

   Tang Rui didn't care about this matter, he directly asked Honglian to control the ground-drilling robot to drill a hole downward.

   The strata that were not very deep were penetrated quickly.

   Under the cliff, there is indeed liquid water.

  And there are quite a lot of reserves of these liquid waters. A rough calculation shows that there are more than 20 million cubic meters.

   "Honglian, we need to analyze the samples of the water resources, then infect those cyber mice with the virus, and record the whole process of the virus entering the mice."

   "Okay, master."

  Beside the cliff, a temporary experimental cabin with only about 20 square meters has been built.

   Honglian controlled the robot and began to operate according to Tang Rui's instructions. The most unlucky ones were the few cyber mice.

   Each of them drank a lot of water.

   After drinking the virus-laden water, they become ready-made observation devices.

  The big screen in front of Tang Rui displayed all the activities of the virus after it entered the mice.

  Look for neuronal tissue, then invade, replicate, and replace neuron cells.

  However, 80% of the neuron tissue in the cyber mouse is composed of nano-robots.

   Therefore, these viruses can only erode 20% of neuron cells.

   This time.

  With the existence of cyber mice and professional in vivo display equipment, Tang Rui clearly saw the mutation of the virus.

  They invade neuron cells, corrode cells, and are also phagocytic cells.

at this time.

  The genes of the virus began to recombine, using neuron cells as the blueprint, and fusing the gene sequences of the virus.

  Finally, the perfect replacement of neuron cells became part of the neuron tissue of mice.

   "It seems that those scientists made a mistake. It wasn't the virus that was stimulated by hallucinogenic drugs to mutate, but when it invaded neurons, it had already mutated."

   Tang Rui muttered softly as he watched the series of changes in the virus in the cyber mouse.

  At the same time, he also solved a previous doubt.

  Why the immune system does not attack the virus.

  Because the virus learned to disguise.

  They can phagocytize immune system cells in mice, and then undergo division and transformation to become immune cells.

   This is also why the immune system doesn't work.

   There are traitors inside.

   Tang Rui waited for more than an hour.

   After these viruses occupied most of the nerve cells in the mice except for the nanorobots, the mice were injected with hallucinogenic drugs.

   Hallucinogenic agents activate virally transformed neuronal tissue.

  A little white mouse lying on the ground.

   At this moment, he stood up and began to crawl outside, not very fast.

   "Honglian, open the life support box, let this little white mouse go, and see where it is going." Tang Rui said to Honglian.

   "Okay, master."

   Click!

  The survival box is opened.

  The little white mouse crawled out and crawled towards the outside.

  By the time it climbed out of the experimental cabin, its movements had become more agile, and it was no longer the stiff crawling before.

  The cyber mice exposed to the surface of Mars had many problems in their bodies, but these problems were solved by the nano-robots.

  Nanomodified mice.

  It is definitely unrealistic to want to survive in outer space.

   But there is nothing wrong with living on the surface of Mars for a period of time.

  The cyber mouse that climbed out quickly drilled into the borehole leading to the ground, and finally fell into the water.

   At this time, the virus in the mice began to divide and reproduce crazily, which was destructive.

   "Master, a special biological wave signal has been detected."

   "Where is the signal source?" Tang Rui asked immediately.

   "Master, according to the feedback from the nanobots, the signal source is the entire underground lake."

   An entire underground lake?

   But there is nothing in the underground river.

  It has been scanned just now, and there are no other creatures or objects except water. If there were any, Tang Rui would have asked Honglian to salvage them.

nothing?

  Where did the signal come from?

   Or some kind of biological wave signal?

   "Can you decipher the content of the signal?"

  "The brain wave information of the mouse is being converted, and the cracking is completed. The content of the signal is: gather food, survive and reproduce, and destroy life."

this…

   Tang Rui frowned as he looked at what Honglian had translated.

   "Master, the mice in the Mars base got up again. This time they hit the glass wall even more frantically, trying to run out."

   "Notify the laboratory and ask them to release five mice... Forget it, you control the robot, take out the five mice, and throw them at the hole."

   "Okay, master."

ten minutes later.

  Five mice were released by the robot.

  These mice were not nano-modified, so the moment they were exposed to the surface of Mars, their internal organs and blood vessels ruptured.

   Even so, the virus controlled the neuron tissue, controlled the body of the mouse, and crawled towards the borehole.

   Little white mice climbed into the borehole one by one.

   fell into the underground lake.

   Next second.

  The bodies of these five mice were digested at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just like the corpse water in the movie, they were quickly corroded clean.

  But Tang Rui knew that it wasn't their bodies melting.

   Instead, it was digested by countless viruses as food.

  This special virus can not only erode neuron cells, they can even erode any biological cells, even hair is no exception.

  Don't ask Tang Rui how he knew.

   In the cyber mouse, except for the organs and body composed of nano-robots, other cells have been eroded and digested by the virus.

  After these viruses have eroded and digested all the cells, they will divide again and re-transform into a virus form.

   This ability is very abnormal.

   What's more perverted is.

  When countless viruses gather together, these viruses seem to have group consciousness.

  Looking at the data obtained through cyber mice.

   Tang Rui was numb.

  You told me this thing is a virus?

  Biological and chemical weapons are not so scary.
