Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 1879
[Chapter 39]
“It seems to be…animal room?”
Song Shufu’s tone was somewhat uncertain.
Because the current layout of the Demonstration Department is the result of hasty expansion that was urged by Ai Qinglan, and it is completely different from the layout of the “Old Demonstration Department” that he has been familiar with for decades.
It’s amazing that he can say something.
“But…why is the animal room so close to the demonstration area…” Ai Qinglan’s eyes widened: “Aren’t you afraid of pollution? In the place where I used to stay, the animal room and the demonstration area are two buildings.
” Because… poor.” A trace of embarrassment appeared on Song Shufu’s face: “I also want to build several floors with up to standard facilities! One demonstration area, one animal house, one… one warehouse, and one unused. ! But! I’m poor.”
Ai Qinglan nodded and accepted the explanation: “I’ll just say… Yesterday’s voice was really too loud, it didn’t look like it could be made by a mere ten rats.”
” No, it wasn’t that close before, Junior Sister Ai is so close after you expanded it…”
As she spoke, she put her hand directly on the wall, and Yun Jin shook the bricks loose. Lime and varnish rustled down, throwing up a puff of dust.
Song Shufu didn’t care that he was injured, he jumped up and gathered the smoke and dust with the palm
of his hand : “What are you doing? The medicine is very expensive! The instrument is difficult to wash!” Tap lightly. The wall was subjected to force, vibration, and the bricks were concave or protruding. Ai Qinglan placed her thumb and index finger and pulled a brick from the wall.
Surprisingly light.
“It’s this kind of porous, fluffy bricks? Isn’t it a load-bearing wall?”
Song Shufu screamed, “If you’re not sure if it’s a load-bearing wall, you will demolish it?”
Ai Qinglan rolled her eyes: “Will anyone here be killed by the roof? ”
That’s not the problem! Because of the Spirit Stabilization Formation, the Demonstration Department generally doesn’t bless the foundations and beams…”
“So who will be smashed to death?” Ai Qinglan ignored Song Shufu and continued to tear down the wall: “Is it really the sound here? This kind of fluffy brick has a very poor sound insulation effect. And… because it was just built , so there is no sound-proof talisman…”
Among the crowd, Lao Xie muttered aggrievedly: “Didn’t you say that the talisman that may cause interference can be used without using it?”
Ai Qinglan quickly removed it from the wall A sigh of relief. The white ashes on the opposite side are also gone.
What appeared in front of Ai Qinglan was a transparent cage with an entire wall. Inside the cage, there are groups of black gadgets.
That’s a bat.
The black bat was listless and looked as if he was dying. The passing light from the demonstration area startled the bats. The bat directly opposite Ai Qinglan panicked, opened its mouth to reveal its fangs, and breathed in pain.
“Bat?” Ai Qinglan whispered.
Bats have a very peculiar immune function, and many plague viruses are “non-pathogenic” in bats. Therefore, bats have become excellent carriers of various plague viruses.
Song Shufu had previously discovered that a certain glandular plague poison could speed up the course of horse plague by refining corpses, but the reason is not yet clear. Therefore, bats have also become his alternative empirical animals for a while.
It looks like…
they’re not too sick?
“Junior Sister Ai, what are you doing? The Department of Evidence is about to be reloaded.” Song Shufu struggled to come over, but before he got close, Ai Qinglan grabbed him and asked, “Senior Brother Song, the scientific name for this kind of bat is What?”
“Little Fuyi.” Song Shufu was shocked by Ai Qinglan and did not dare to move.
“Is the feeding habit of eating insects?”
“Well, it is relatively easy to raise… and the food intake is good.”
“Does it hibernate?”
“Subtropical species do not have the habit of hibernating, otherwise wouldn’t the evidence in winter be disturbed?”
“Then…” Ai Qinglan’s eyes were glowing: “Nocturnal, right?”
“Yes…Yes.” Song Shufu nodded: “That, you suspect, is the reason for these bats?”
How…
this The thought came instantly.
Across a wall? Shouldn’t it be?
However, Ai Qinglan asked, “What is the active period of this bat?”
“It started to be active at You Shi and lasted until Yin Shi…” Song Shufu’s eyes widened: “You Shi to the next Yin Shi?”
That naturally included Xu Shi.
“But, why…”
“Well, really, why?” Ai Qinglan let go of Song Shufu, curled up her right index finger, and pressed it against her cheek: “Although this wall was just added, the sound insulation effect is poor, but The varnish is the most advanced and has a good seal, that is to say, it cannot be caused by a certain metabolite volatile component in the bat. Now there are only two possibilities.”
“One is caused by a similar molecule. The other is ultrasound.”
Children know that bats use ultrasound to sense their surroundings.
Bats emit ultrasound, of course.
The corpse-refining horse plague cannot infect the monks, and the response to the flame of life is extremely poor, and there is no spiritual response higher than the background aura. Therefore, it is definitely not the type of beast organ cluster that relies on macro clusters to obtain spiritual power and computing power.
This possibility, even if it exists, is absolutely low, so “ultrasonic” is given priority.
“So, it’s time to start the design demonstration again.” Ai Qinglan said so, waving to the left and right: “Who will rebuild the wall? By the way, engrave a symbol array to isolate the sound waves, yes, not just sound waves, Even ultrasound isolates me.”
So, a new set of empirical evidence began.
This time, it was still the first operation of the Northern Wilderness Red Horse’s central nervous system extract, buffer, and the source of pathogenic life. The only difference is that Ai Qinglan directly eliminated the polymerase.
Enzymes are extremely specific and can only react to one or a few substances.
From a logical point of view, the amplification process of pathogenic organisms does not require polymerase.
Amplification reactions were performed on the water bath furthest from the bat.
Among them, half of the reactants were treated with ultrasonic waves. Ai Qinglan only needed to stretch out her finger and flick on the wall of the test tube. The cultivator’s finger force and control ability can ensure that the test tube vibrates at the frequency of ultrasonic waves.
The other half, not.
A new round of reactions begins again.
This time, Ai Qinglan lifted the lid of the instrument after the sound of the water bath.
Without any accident, the deformation, deposition, and porridge of the Origin of Life that had appeared for the first time reappeared.
“Pfft.” Ai Qinglan smiled: “It’s actually like this… lucky.”
No one expected that Song Shufu would have such a poor result.
It was the bat that helped her discover such a result.
And at night, when they reviewed the video records of the animal room, they discovered that their luck was far more than that.
Because…
the picture shows that the night before yesterday, the day when the little apprentice performed the first operation, these poor bats were howling in agony because of the plague.
Of course, there is an ultrasonic component.
Xiaofu Wing is small in size and has no power at all. However, in order to continue the name of this batch of bats, the feed used by Song Shufu is mixed with a fixed amount of low-level elixir to ensure that these little Fuyi are as healthy as possible without being demonized. This makes this batch of small swans inherently larger than their wild counterparts. And a few days ago, it happened to be the time when the gland plague poison and the corpse refining horse plague were on their bodies. They still have strength these days, and they shout extra loudly.
Song Shufu himself was relatively poor, and the cage he purchased did not have the function of absorbing noise. Originally, some empirical departments would use this method to avoid the mental anxiety of the experimental animals.
However, this “loudness” is only the standard of Xiao Fuyi. After walking through a cage and a wall, not much energy was saved.
According to later speculation, the scope of the catalytic effect is only a few feet against the wall.
If it wasn’t for what Song Shufu’s little apprentice did in front of the water bath, if it wasn’t for the water bath just against the wall, if it wasn’t for the bats that were in so much pain that they couldn’t help shouting loudly, then this demonstration would not have been so successful.
It’s even said… If the bat across the wall didn’t bark so hard when the little apprentice was operating, these little things just barked a little softly, then things would be completely different.
Because of poverty, the reconstruction was rushed; because of poverty, there was only one wall between the animal room and the demonstration area; because of poverty, the cage did not have the function of absorbing sound waves… To a
large extent, this is the achievement of Song Shufu’s poverty. .
In this regard, Song Shufu just smacking his lips.
“Mom, why does this make me feel so unhappy?”
No doubt, they were lucky.
However, they don’t know how lucky they are.
In another period of history that they didn’t know from the universe without spiritual energy, this process was not so smooth.
Prusiner began to extract prions in 1974. Before that, in the 1960s, British radiologists tried to use ultraviolet rays to destroy the nucleic acid of scrapie, and came to the conclusion that the causative factor of scrapie had nothing to do with nucleic acid. Of course, this conclusion was ridiculed by the entire academic community.
After all, that’s the equivalent of trying to raise the bar against evolution.
The central dogma is just that.
Using rodents, Prusiner took eight years to isolate the prion. Because his evidence was quite convincing, the name “prion” was only recognized.
But in the entire academic world, he is still the only one who believes that this process does not require the participation of DNA and RNA at all.
The entire academic community is proving the opposite. For prions to replicate, either DNA or RNA must be involved.
And this long-lasting proof alone lasted until 1996.
What quelled this debate, ridiculous to say, also had a rather strong element of luck.
In 1996, there was an outbreak of mad cow disease in the United Kingdom.
Because capitalists used meat and bone meal from sick and dead cows as supplementary feed, the mad cow disease spread wildly.
When human life is at stake, more forces converge in this field. Prussina’s discovery was only acknowledged.
In 1997, Prusiner received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine
