Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 111: New species
As soon as Yang Tuo arrived, he immediately suggested a meeting.
After learning about Yang Tuo's identity and the weight of the research report in his hand, Aruna, the new director, did not dare to neglect, and quickly vacated the meeting room.
And Dylan, a glamorous woman, became the focus of this meeting at this time.
Because Yang Tuo gave her the right to interpret this research report.
Lin Shuo's location is next to Yang Tuo. At this time, Dilan was explaining the biological research report, but Yang Tuo stretched his head over and asked softly: "You met before?"
"A word is hard to say." Lin Shuo told the truth, and then asked, "How did you bring her here?"
"Coincidentally." Yang Tuo said, "After I finished the genetic analysis of the sample, I felt that I should consult an expert on zombie fungi, so I called Dylan, and she was nearby, so I Joined her."
"Where did this woman come from?"
"Her father is a Chinese biologist and one of the elders of the International Society for Biological Research." Yang Tuo replied.
It's a coincidence, Lin Shuo couldn't help sighing, and then he felt wrong when he thought about it, so he asked: "More than that?"
Lin Shuo knew in his heart that if Dylan was only from this background, Anne would have no reason to be so frustrated in personal relationships.
After all, Miao Guangqi, Anne’s mentor, is also one of the elders of the International Society for Biological Research. She herself is also the head of the Asian region, second only to the elders in terms of authority. The two backgrounds in this regard are actually more than Anne. To be harder.
Yang Tuo seemed to have been reminded, and said softly, "Her mother is a member of the royal family of a certain European country, and the succession to the throne is very high."
Now Lin Shuo understands that this woman is still a princess.
The volume of the conversation between the two was very light, but the two of them were the focus of attention on the venue at the same time, and this whispering action was still very conspicuous.
Dylan, who was speaking, stopped and looked at Lin Shuo and Yang Tuo, as if waiting for them to finish.
Yang Tuo retracted his head and held his glasses indifferently: "I'm sorry, please continue."
Dylan gave Yang Tuo a bad look, which means I can hear what you said, and then said:
"As I said earlier, zombie fungi are such a species. They parasitize the host, control their brains, influence their behavior, and finally kill the host, and then complete them in the form of infecting a new host. Own reproduction.
The behavior of this fungus sounds terrible, but so far, they have only been found in the tropical rain forests of Brazil.
The hosts they affect are only insects such as ants and crickets. So it has no impact on our human lives.
But this time, based on Professor Yang’s findings, we have reason to believe that there may be a brand new species that behaves like zombie fungi near the Altai Mountains in Asia.
The genetic map of this species is completely unfamiliar to us and does not belong to any species currently known.
The host that this organism can control is much more advanced than the insects that zombie fungi can control, and it can even control mammalian organisms.
Let’s take a look at this picture. "
While talking, Dylan took out a picture from the folder, put it in the projector, and then said:
"This is a schematic diagram of genes. The samples taken are the soil around the footprints of unidentified creatures discovered by the Outer Mongolia police at the scene. In these soils, Professor Yang isolated the skin cells of the owner of the footprints and completed the genes. Analysis.
This picture shows that the owner of this footprint is a Xinjiang tiger, also called a Lop Nur tiger.
Currently, the biological community generally believes that the Xinjiang tiger was extinct 50 years ago. It is very lucky to be able to find such an individual this time.
Of course, from another perspective, it may also be unfortunate.
Because the genetic map shows that it is no longer a pure Xinjiang tiger.
The gene that controls the size of the individual has been mutated, so its size is very large, which has exceeded the size of the tiger.
In addition, there are some of our biologists who have not yet clearly expressed the meaning, but it is certain that the genes that affect the central nervous system have also mutated.
The consequences of these gene mutations are still unclear. We only know that this affects biological behavior.
According to our biological theory. Gene, in the case of natural evolution, heredity and mutation exist at the same time, in which heredity is a universal phenomenon, and mutation is an accidental event.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to have so many mutations in a single biological entity at the same time in a short period of time.
So, instead of saying that the Xinjiang tiger's genes have been mutated, it is better to say that the genes have been rewritten.
But rewriting so many genes is an impossible task even for the most advanced biological laboratory in the world.
And this Xinjiang tiger actually achieved these mutations under natural conditions.
This phenomenon is actually very scary. "
After Dylan finished speaking, he paused, as if waiting for the people present to digest the information.
Everyone who participated in this meeting looked different at this time.
The object of Lin Shuo's attention is Zhang Jin.
Because the Zhang family and this "Mountain King" can be said to be a feud. Zhang Jin must have heard a lot about "Mountain King" from his grandfather and father.
Under the influence of ears and eyes, Zhang Jin's understanding of "Mountain Yama" is the most among the people present.
So although Lin Shuo doesn't expect him to speak, at least he wants to see an expression.
That's the "Oh, that's how it is" expression.
If he has such an expression, it means that Yang Tuo and Dylan’s current direction of suspicion is correct, and it is consistent with the intelligence that Zhang Guohua used to exchange for his life:
"Mountain Yama" is a creature similar to a zombie fungus, which can parasitize the genes of other creatures and control their behavior.
This information is very important to Lin Shuo.
This not only provides ideas for dealing with "Mountain Hades", it may also hint at the truth of the Kunlun Mountain incident six years ago.
Because it involves mind control.
But Lin Shuo was disappointed. Zhang Jin, who was sitting across from him, had a handsome face just like before, expressionless, and even his gaze was somewhat distracted, appearing absent-minded.
Lin Shuo just remembered that this kid had never gone to school and was illiterate.
Dylan’s explanation just now involved some common sense in biology. For Zhang Jin, these simple common senses of biology are as difficult as the heavenly book, and he may not understand a word.
Lin Shuo sighed inwardly, thinking that in the future, he would have to give this kid a good cultural lesson.
Otherwise, once the Alien Beast is killed, Zhang Jin will have to starve to death.
These thoughts wandered in Lin Shuo's mind, and Dylan here has begun to continue:
"This unidentified creature, its genes have been extracted from the victim's body by Professor Yang, and a map analysis has been done.
This is a brand new species and does not belong to any type of organisms we currently know.
We human beings are the species with the largest amount of information in known genomes. The amount of information contained in our genes is 3.2Gb.
As for this individual, although its gene expression is not yet clear, Professor Yang calculated that its information volume is 3.6Gb, which is higher than that of our human beings.
This means that it itself, in terms of biological evolution, is very advanced, and may possess extremely high intelligence.
And now that it has been able to rewrite the tiger’s genes, invade the tiger’s central nervous system, and affect or even control the tiger’s behavior.
So, can it control us humans?
In front of it, do we humans have the right to call ourselves the spirit of all things? "
After Dylan finished speaking, he closed the folder in front of him and scanned the people participating in the meeting~IndoMTL.com~At this time, the atmosphere was very depressing, and everyone was silent.
For the Mongolian police, this woman who brought misfortune to the police station recently gave out even more unfortunate news.
This is their jurisdiction, something big is about to happen!
For Lin Shuo, Anne and others, if this thing is as Dylan said, then the characteristics of this strange creature have no precedent in the history of Hunting Gate.
It's no wonder that "Kyushu Foreign Objects" is so unclear about this thing.
It's no wonder that Zhang Guohua's ability has spent a whole ten years hunting down this thing, and he will eventually be defeated and killed.
It's no wonder that Yang Tuo Mingming is very busy. Once he gets the results of this research, he will come over in person.
"Mr. Lin."
At this time, Dylan looked at Lin Shuo: "I have already reported the situation. So what should we do next?"
