I Have A Super USB Drive

After a rigorous disinfection process, Chen Chen finally entered the highest-level biological gene core laboratory in this hive.

Although seven years have passed, the laboratory has been in a closed state after all, and it is a Class 100 clean area, so the entire laboratory has not been contaminated.

It's as if time has stopped passing in this laboratory.

Strictly speaking, this laboratory is a suite. According to various classifications, this laboratory is divided into seven or eight laboratories with different functions, such as sterilization room, quality inspection room, operation room and so on.

Not only that, what really moved Chen Chen's heart was a high-end instrument that Chen Chen had never seen before.

"Centrifuge, nucleic acid extraction equipment, real-time polymerase chain reaction equipment..."

Chen Chen was wrapped in a bloated protective suit. He looked at each machine, and based on his instinct and intuition about the equipment in the biological laboratory, he quickly recognized some instruments.

Because the laboratory also has monitoring, every time Chen Chen walks through an instrument, as long as he can't recognize it, he can get an explanation from x-112.

"this is……"

Suddenly, Chen Chen was attracted by a special device in front of him.

This is a device like a large printer, with a white casing and a deep groove in the middle. It seems that there are very small components in the groove, so small that it cannot be seen clearly.

"Is this a micromanipulator?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows.

"No, this is an adenine base editor."

X-112 said, "This kind of editor can precisely manipulate a single base pair on DNA. It is a new technology developed in rispr gene scissors technology. Through artificial AI, it can lock and edit the genome more effectively. "

Chen Chen was shocked when he heard this, "Is it possible to manipulate a single base pair, isn't there almost no off-target phenomenon?"

"Currently it seems so." x-112 replied.

"In this way, it is not a fluke that the world can study the t virus. Has the biotechnology of this umbrella company reached this level?"

Chen Chen murmured.

In the real world, there are about three mainstream gene editing technologies for humans today, namely zfn gene editing technology, talen gene editing technology and rispr/as9 genome editing technology.

Among the three technologies, only the rispr/as9 technology has the lowest release rate, the most reliable, and the only technology that can edit RNA, so it is also the most widely used gene editing technology.

However, rispr/as9 technology currently has many problems, such as difficulty in complex gene editing, low transfection efficiency and so on.

However, it seems that long ago, this umbrella company had already taken a new path. Gene editing technology alone surpassed the reality of 30 to 40 years.

Continue to check, and soon Chen Chen found a large number of biological equipment beyond the reality of technology. With these equipment, Chen Chen can even easily observe the DNA nucleic acid chain. There are other technologies that are simpler and more precise than in reality.

This is simply a paradise for biological dogs...

Chen Chen secretly sighed.

"That's right," Chen Chen asked with some excitement, seeming to have thought of something, "Are there any T virus samples in this hive?"

"No, by checking the monitoring records, all the t-viruses and the antidote to the t-virus were all lost 7 years ago, and now only a part of the ancestor virus samples exist."

"Ancestor virus?"

Chen Chen's heart moved. Most people may not have heard of this virus, but Chen Chen has already investigated all the settings of Resident Evil and is already familiar with this virus.

And the so-called ancestor virus, according to the game settings, is actually the predecessor of the t virus.

The founder of Resident Evil discovered a flower called the "Sun Ladder" in Africa. From this flower, the original RNA fragments were extracted. This RNA is the ancestor virus.

The ancestor virus has the power to change human genes, so after several unsatisfactory experiments, the founder's gene fragment of the leech was chimerized with the gene of the ancestor virus to generate the original t virus.

"Where is the ancestor virus?" Chen Chen asked quickly.

"The ancestor virus was frozen in the freezer of the hive." x-112 replied, "do you need to thaw it now?"

"Wait first." Chen Chen thought for a while and waved his hand quickly, "Give me a copy of the ancestor virus. I'll check it out first."

"understand."

x-112 agreed, and then Chen Chen saw that the computer on the side turned on automatically, and then pages of information were sent over.

But as he went deeper to look at the ancestor virus information, Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes.

According to the data, the ancestor virus comes from the Dubai sub-tribe in western Africa. The "Sun Ladder" flower contains a viral substance in the form of RNA, which can enhance human capacity and extend human life.

From a biological point of view, the RNA characteristics of the ancestor virus can promote the evolution of human DNA, but the toxins contained in the virus will kill the human immune system, leading to systemic inflammation, necrosis of the skin and other outer tissues, and a large amount of body fluids. Loss and secondary infections of various diseases, sepsis and severe shock, eventually lead to death.

Only a very small number of individuals will mutate their immune receptors after infection, allowing them to survive, and the survival rate does not exceed 10.

This disease is exactly the same as Ebola hemorrhagic fever?

When Chen Chen saw this, he quickly pulled down, and suddenly saw the electron microscope photo of the ancestor virus, which looked like a worm-like filovirus.

Also from West Africa, the same symptoms of filovirus and even ancestor virus are also caused by systemic inflammation, necrosis of the skin and other outer tissues after infection. This symptom is almost identical to Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

What a coincidence?

Chen Chen checked the gene sequence of the ancestor virus again, but found that, as expected, the genetic similarity between the ancestor virus and Ebola virus reached 98!

It can be said to be the same.

Chen Chen looked thoughtful.

This situation is not surprising. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Resident Evil was originally written by a reality screenwriter, and it is reasonable to use the ancestor virus to pay tribute to the real world Ebola virus.

However, it is just a set tribute, but it happens to promise that the set virus has the power to change human DNA and accelerate human evolution. This is a bit bizarre...

If the screenwriter just made up a virus that can make humans evolve out of thin air, Chen Chen can still accept it. After all, the USB flash drive is suspected to have the power to complement the rules, even the existence of super powers that are out of control can exist, and there are things that make people evolve. Isn't the virus normal?

But what Chen Chen couldn't accept is that this virus has 98% genetic sequence identical to Ebola virus. Doesn't it mean that Ebola virus has the same potential for human evolution as long as it is slightly modified?

So, is it the Ebola virus itself that has this potential, and the story of Resident Evil is just self-defeating?

Or, because of the parallel time and space of Resident Evil, Ebola virus, which is very similar to the ancestor virus, will appear?

To put it simply, Chen Chen's question is whether there is a Resident Evil movie or the plane of Resident Evil first?

Chen Chen kept looking at the documents sent by x-112, but his thoughts were already out of the sky.

If this problem can be clarified, then Chen Chen will also be able to figure out why some movies can be recognized through the USB flash drive when shooting movies, but some cannot...
