Seeing this scene, Chen Chen’s eyes flashed with solemnity. In the movie, David just took a small drop and put it into the drink, and he infected an adult, who transformed into a humanoid monster within ten hours. .

It can be seen from this that black water is by no means a bacterium or a virus, but a polymer compound with a fairly stable nature, otherwise it will not easily resist the damaging effects of alcohol.

At this time, the black knight followed David's operation in the movie, breaking the tip of the stick directly, and then inserted a syringe from the side, sucking a very small amount of black water from the stick.

Among these black water liquids, some of the black knights were directly put into the microscope for analysis and observation, and some were injected into the body of a white mouse that had been prepared.

Soon, Chen Chen saw that the mice injected with black water began to develop fever and convulsions.

Soon, the whole body of the mouse began to fall off, and the pink skin under the hair was exposed to the air, but at this moment, other mice on the side seemed to perceive the abnormality, and they all surrounded the diseased mouse. Beside.

However, this warm scene was immediately reversed, and the sick mouse suddenly jumped up, pounced on one of the mice, and bite it!

For a while, that little white mouse was bitten and bloodied!

"After being infected with black water, you will become irrational and very aggressive."

Chen Chen silently observed that soon, the sick mice easily killed other mice in the same cage, and continued to record, "After being infected with black water, the host's own strength will suddenly increase, and it can easily kill the body. Similar to the same kind in the movie..."

After recording all these changes, Chen Chen only saw that the body of the mouse in the cage began to turn from bright red to grayish white. At the same time, it began to eat the flesh and blood of the same kind, as if to accumulate energy for the next mutation.

Soon, this little white mouse's body gradually grew a layer of stratum corneum, and it began to change towards black. At the same time, under the black, there were dark red flesh and blood.

At the end, a layer of fine and dense, but needle-like spikes penetrated from its body, replacing the original white hair. What's even more strange is that these spikes are still constantly coming in and out, looking incomparable Weird...

"This is already a new species."

Chen Chen's heart was shaken. He greeted a black knight, and immediately the black knight stepped forward, put on thick protective gloves, and at the same time stretched the needle into the cage, gently holding the mutant. The white mouse began to take its blood samples.

After being caught, the mouse began to struggle violently, and at the same time issued a very strange scream.

This kind of sound is beyond the scope of the sound that a white mouse can make. It is harsh and cruel. Obviously, this white mouse has undergone essential changes in both its genes and body structure.

It's just that although this little white mouse mutated extremely terribly, but after all, the size gap was there, no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free from the grasp of the black knight.

However, the blood of the mutated mice has not been analyzed yet, and Heishui has analyzed it first.

When the ingredients of black water were resolved, Chen Chen was taken aback.

"Are you sure you made a mistake?"

Looking at the test report in his hand, Chen Chen showed a very weird look, "You mean, this black water is a protein composed of more than 20 amino acids?"

"Yes, it is a protein molecule that can infect a variety of carbon-based life."

Xiao X replied, "If the facts were not in front of us, even I would not believe that there are such strange protein molecules in the world."

"In other words, is this something similar to a prion?"

Chen Chen took a breath, "Then how is it infected? Is it the same as prions?"

"Yes, based on the blood test of the mice, the answer has probably been obtained."

Xiao X said again, "But unlike other prions, this protein does not deposit in the brain and damage the brain of organisms, but directly changes the human gene chain."

After hearing this sentence, Chen Chen understood thoroughly.

The so-called prion is not actually a virus, because in international textbooks, viruses can be divided into the ranks of organisms, but prions are not considered as organisms, but a system composed of only proteins that can replicate and possess Infectious factors.

However, prions are as filterable, infectious, and pathogenic as conventional viruses, but they are much smaller than the smallest known conventional viruses. No virus particle structure can be observed under the electron microscope and no immunity is shown. effect.

Chen Chen continued to look down and immediately understood why Heishui is a prion.

Because the prion protein of black water enters the host body, the normal prp protein of the human body will be easily assimilated by the prion protein of black water, and the protein of the normal configuration becomes the molecular structure of black water, which increases geometrically and expands rapidly.

But if it’s just that, it’s nothing more than black water, at most, a new type of prion that is rapid and highly infectious, but what’s more surprising is that the prion protein of black water not only has the ability to assimilate proteins in the host’s body. , And the ability to disassemble nucleic acids in the host!

When the blackwater prion protein encounters the host's nucleic acid chain, it seems to trigger a certain program to start to disassemble the host's DNA nucleic acid chain and recombine it into a new form.

After the nucleic acid chain is recombined, the prion protein of black water will also wrap this new nucleic acid chain to form a new virus structure.

So far, the prions of Heishui have successfully evolved into a complete virus by plundering the DNA in the organism, and this virus will work with Heishui to carry out secondary transformations on the host's body.

As a result, the scene presented by the mouse's body just now completely happened...

After reading the report in his hand, Chen Chen looked even more weird. "It’s no wonder that black water can be picked up by a USB flash drive. I didn’t expect that black water is a prion-like substance, but in my opinion, the prion protein of black water It's like an artificial protein robot..."

"I also have this feeling."

Little X echoed, "Blackwater is hundreds of thousands of times more magical than prions, and it is not defined by a prion at all."

"After all, it is the supreme creation of engineer civilization."

Chen Chen nodded and said with emotion, "But when I get here, I finally understand the preciousness of black water. Compared with black water, T virus is like a poor-quality toy. Most organisms infected by T virus are unstable. Disadvantages, such as zombies, only products that are infected from the stage of fertilized eggs can become healthy mutant creatures."

"But black water is different. It can be used directly on adult life. Any organism can directly mutate into a new species after contacting black water. What's more commendable is that this new species has the ability to reproduce. Yes, it is completely possible to form a new population independently, unlike the T virus that can only mutate individually and cannot continue."

"Doesn't that mean that black water can accelerate the evolution of life?"

Little X asked.

"No, there is still a gap with evolution."

However, Chen Chen spoke for a while and shook his head, "What is evolution? The evolution of constantly adapting to the environment can be called evolution, and Heishui is not like this at all. It can be understood from the fate of the little white mouse that this black The changes caused by water should be called uncontrollable mutations."

"Moreover, the direction of this mutation is uncertain, it may go in a good direction or in a bad direction, and even humans may lose the characteristics and thoughts of higher creatures after infection, just like in the movie..."

"Ah, if black water is so dangerous, then why do you still study black water?" Xiao X was suddenly puzzled.

"Although black water is dangerous, everything has two sides."

Chen Chen smiled, "After all, it is a biological weapon that is dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than T virus. It is absolutely useful, besides... the engineer family can live for more than 300,000 years, while humans are engineers and The combination of black water, is there a possibility that we can find out the secret of longevity of engineers from black water?"
