Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 149. Familiar greetings (9)

[Extra 149. Familiar greetings (9)]

Morgana’s revenge has begun.

Through the “Shadow Dancer Organization”, she secretly delivered some information to several research institutions affiliated with the military. The information clearly describes how the military monitors and uses their research results, and mocks these research institutions for being secretly accomplices of murder for the military.

At the same time, dozens of major media outlets around the world received the same anonymous message.

The information detailed many of the military’s evil deeds. For example, they use dozens of related research institutions to conduct py transactions and engage in shady activities; deliberately tarnish the reputation of researchers to reduce funding; monitor the operations of private enterprises, evade social responsibilities, and secretly suppress private institutions in public transactions; and even Using prisoners to conduct inhumane experiments on living subjects…

it’s hard to tell whether it’s true or false, but the various scandals carefully concocted by Morgana spread one after another, causing an uproar in society like an earthquake and tsunami.

People didn’t care whether the source of the information was reliable or not. There was an uproar for a while, and the public denunciation made the Planetary Council lose face. The Planetary Council took decisive action, and all companies that cooperated with the military were issued a gag order. If anyone dared to speak nonsense, not only the individual would be severely punished, but the institution where he or she worked would also be sanctioned, and even the research results would no longer be used by the military. Party adopts.

The research results no longer attract the attention of the military, but have become the biggest pain in the hearts of these institutions.

Researchers who have been working on this for many years are angry. They suppress their anger, but they know in their hearts that an inevitable storm is brewing.

On the other side, Morgana did not stop experimental activities during this period.

She placed her secret laboratory in the underground space of Ross Medical and renovated it. Two other secret research institutes were built on the land given to her by the Rothschild family.

Using funds from private institutions, she secretly purchased a large number of top-notch experimental equipment. Of course, these devices were obtained through black market channels and passed through countless hands by middlemen in order to avoid military pursuit.

A few months later, Morgana’s experiment entered a new stage again. The combination of organisms and mold was not as difficult to control as before. She discovered that

the leeches infected by T-38 behaved strangely and abnormally.

Some experimental leeches, which originally only had low-level biological instincts, began to try to devour other leeches, forming a unique group.

Their temperaments have become fierce and aggressive, and many hyphae-like organs have grown on their bodies. These organs are as flexible as human fingers, and their bodies are full of power that is completely incompatible with the host.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the mutant leech can weigh as much as a human being, then based on the heat energy consumption ratio of humans, it can easily lift an elephant.

Although it is only ten millimeters long, it must be said that this is a terrifying creature. The habits of

t

38 mutated leeches have also changed and they can feed on almost anything –

they can eat roots, algae, fish eggs, snails, small fish, rice, and amphibians .

It can feed on anything it can catch in the water – even wood.

In short, the vitality of the infected leeches was far higher than that of the normal leeches in the comparison experimental group, and according to the observation of predation records, the intelligence level of the infected leeches was also significantly improved.

Based on previous research, Morgana believed that it was

the fusion of T-38 that allowed the leech to evolve a complex nervous system unique to advanced intelligent life. The advanced nervous system allows leeches to have self-aware behavior, which is manifested in crazy eating behavior and devouring the same kind.

Leeches that have developed self-awareness can even assimilate and copy other biological cells. After studying the newly generated cells in the leech’s body, Morgana realized that the mold had mutated the leech’s genes.

During the experiment, it is likely that a sudden change in temperature occurred, which induced the mutation of infected leeches.

One of the leeches quietly underwent genetic mutation and became the ancestor of the new group.

Morgana initially thought that the appearance of this leech ancestor was related to its strong vitality, and that temperature had little effect on mutation, but the experimental results taught her a solid lesson.

8bσok. After

СΟm

checked several sets of temperature records, it confirmed Morgana’s guess that temperature

has a stronger impact on the host infected by T38 than on plants.

The germ cells of an ancestor leech mutated and copied to have two sets of chromosomes, and then combined with another leech that may not be an infectious agent, resulting in a triploid mutant leech with three sets of chromosomes.

Researchers know that if humans undergo genetic mutations during reproduction and become triploid, they will easily die and become deformed…

However, this mutated monster not only did not produce any deformities, but also survived healthier – It even gained a special ability that none of its ancestors had as a result.

Parthenogenesis.

In this world, this ancestral leech does not have any companions or similar species – it cannot have offspring with leeches of its parents’ race, but it does not need to.

It is the world’s first mutant leech capable of parthenogenesis.

This mutated leech successfully induced its own somatic cells to develop into embryos, and allowed all embryos to inherit these three sets of chromosomes, thus achieving self-cloning.

Starting from this archaeomorph, a new species appeared in the world.

Every offspring it produces is exactly the same as it, even genetically speaking, it is the same leech.

They were all identical, as if “cancer cells were attacking their host.”

The same is true for the descendants of its descendants –

simply like an army of clones!

For the native organisms in the world, this is a crushing blow without any resistance.

With this discovery, Morgana then speculated that this leech really did not combine with other leeches, but was completely mutated under the action of mold.

The mold gene plays a key role in the mutation process, indicating that in addition to integrating with plants, it can also integrate with other organisms at the cellular level.

After fusion, the two species merge into one, becoming a completely new host symbiote.

Morgana and her independent team continued their efforts to accelerate the research on the fusion of leeches and mycoviruses, and soon obtained strong experimental data.

Another important study proved that t

38 can inhibit the side effects caused by excessive gene mutation. It eliminates the original habits of leeches and indirectly changes the ecological environment of leeches. It is an

upgraded version 2.0 of plant t 38, which may be called ” A symbiotic system of all things.”

This system allows the t

38 host to create an environment that is beneficial to itself, and then dominate this environmental system and become the only seedling.

The so-called virus will always remain in the host’s body and rely on self-division to form a new population.

To put it simply, in Morgana’s eyes, viruses are no longer just a driving force for repairing biological genes.

It is a driving force for biological evolution and is definitely not a human disaster that must be eliminated!
