Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 163. Unexpected disaster (6)

[Extra 163. Unexpected disaster (6)]

The ultraviolet light in the laboratory area is specially designed to adapt to plant research. The lighting system is controlled by an extremely precise program and can be adjusted at any time. The light now is similar to the spring afternoon sunlight in nature, and the temperature is just right.

When passing a solid glass window, Morgana slowed down and glanced sideways. The glass as smooth as a mirror reflected her face, which was a little thin, and the scarlet red in her pupils was so obvious. She immediately stopped and looked at the glass for a closer look.

She saw a small patch of red hyphae in the pupil. These hyphae were extremely sensitive to light and spread over the eyeball.

“Is the mutation already so serious…?”

Morgana muttered, turned around, and looked at the corridor next to her. She couldn’t see the scenery in the distance, but she could still feel that this corridor was different from before. different.

“This is the early stage of fusion… If we go by the experimental data, it should take another three weeks, right? Is this a unique reaction of my body…”

When human cells

are combined with t 38+, The ecology of the slime mold will react with the ecology of the host at the genetic level and penetrate each other. At this time, the ecological barriers between the two are no longer so clear-cut, but are moving toward a certain degree of “fusion.” This stage is called the “early stage of host ecological construction.”

The mold discovered by Morgana in Antarctica’s glacial lake is ancient and strange. From a biological perspective, it can be called the ancestor of modern plants. Although mold spores do not contain chlorophyll, tens of thousands of genetic experiments by the research team have proven that they can integrate well with various plants.

Since there is no rejection reaction at all, after the slime mold merges with the host, it becomes a powerful new life form with the characteristics to shape all life forms, which can be called a miracle in the world.

One of the most significant results is that components similar to plant chlorophyll appear in the host’s red blood cells. Human red blood cells will concentrate on various important organs of the body, such as the eyes, before making the final fight for fusion. Then chlorophyll is completely integrated into human genes, absorbs ultraviolet rays, plays its role, and then changes the host’s ecology, and will adjust itself as the external environment changes.

As a senior researcher in genetic engineering, Morgana naturally knows that this period requires a large amount of biological energy to be consumed.

If you only see the results, the host that cannot survive this period will only have one result, death.

Fortunately, there is another instinct in the genes of living things, and that is reproduction and replication.

Reproduction comes from the genetic characteristics of the mother’s genes, which will cause individuals that cannot bear the genetic fusion to die quickly, and new individuals will be born to inherit the characteristics of the original mother.

Morgana combed her hair, knowing exactly what she was going to do next. She wanted to create something that would last a little longer than life.

The last advice of the family elder seemed to ring in my ears: “No matter how things change, you must always do reasonable things at a reasonable time, and don’t try to do the right things. There are no right things in this world, only reasonable things.” “

So, she just wants to do the reasonable thing now.

She had already recognized the military’s face and saw through their purpose. There is nothing new in the world under the sun. Even if the military helped her carry out research, in the end, she could only surrender to the protection of their “enthusiastic wings”.

Even if she compromises step by step and compromises, all she gets in the end is that the other party will take advantage of her and kill them all.

There is no so-called help, it is all benefits. Making a deal with the devil is always seeking skin from a tiger!

walked towards the end of the corridor, where there was another special area behind the door. The interior of the institute is still clean and tidy, transparent and rigorous, and full of a sense of science and technology. The bright light came on immediately after her arrival. There are unfinished test products, experimental device models and plant specimens everywhere.

She walked slowly to a certain laboratory area. After receiving the highest authority to pass, the solid triple sensor doors opened in front of her one after another. The spray disinfection equipment was not turned on and sprayed out dense sterilizing liquid. The red light shone brightly. , and soon went out again.

The temperature inside is extremely low. Several thick liquid nitrogen pipes extend from the top of the head to the inside of the facility. Ordinary people must wear thick insulation clothing when entering, otherwise they will freeze to death.

But Morgana just walked in without caring, as if she had forgotten where this place was.

Since coming into contact with the genes of the T

-38 mold, Morgana has evolved an ability and a few side effects: accompanied by nerve tingling, her hands often sweat, blood-red sweat, and she knows that it is mold spores. is binding to its own hemoglobin.

In recent days, something was not right with her body. Her hearing was severely damaged, but her perception had increased exponentially. The plants all over the laboratory seemed to have become her senses.

She often hears strange sounds, like someone whispering in her head, and she wonders if this side effect indicates a more outrageous mutation.

Based on the previous human experiment data of Yutong and Gro, Morgana was very sure that she was experiencing the same hallucination as them.

She suspected that this was because she had used a special ability after the meeting at the beach. Using her control over plants, she easily killed several soldiers and an officer named Li Yinlong.

It was a strange feeling, allowing her to control the mold to blend in with its surroundings and do anything she couldn’t do before. This was the first time Morgana had used this ability, and it also caused an overreaction in the brain’s nerve center.

She vaguely felt that the whispers were like residual horrific memories, or dreams that shone into reality, exerting a terrifying influence on her consciousness.

As for how the whispering sound was generated, she has yet to find the answer.

Based on the subtle differences in perception, she soon realized that what she heard was the sound of plants. This may be an unknown research area in the process of biological evolution!

Plants not only have their own language, but also have memories. This has been confirmed by humans hundreds of years ago. For plants, there is no nervous system or brain to provide memory function, so they must rely on cellular memory to sense ecological changes. Just like when mimosa is exposed to unfamiliar mechanical stimulation, it will react violently and close its leaves.

The plant inherits the memory in its genes to its offspring, and a brand-new ecology brings her a new consciousness, allowing her to gain the perception of plants within the range. Those whispers are actually plants “speaking”.

Another example of plants having memory is their response to light. When light shines on a leaf, it causes the entire plant to react. But the amazing thing is that this chemical reaction between leaves caused by light is just that people illuminate the roots of the plant. As a result, the upper part of the plant changes, and after the light disappears, this change continues in the dark.

When light triggers a chemical reaction in a leaf cell, it causes a series of changes that are immediately communicated to the rest of the plant through specialized cells known as “cell fiber bundles.”

Morgana deliberately searched for experimental data left by her predecessors. After in-depth exploration, she discovered that plants also have self-awareness, and they are so different!
