0002 Mitochondria rebelled?
The soldiers sneered.
No one takes that high-sounding nonsense to heart.
Jack asked: "Is there anything special about this doctor?"
The middle-aged man nodded, "He is one of the core members of Tianhai Company's MVCH research. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that those who planned and executed the kidnapping were people from the NMC Liberation Front."
A more detailed explanation is shown on the big screen.
When Chen Xin saw that the so-called MVCH refers to the "mitochondrial mutation control headband", he felt a turmoil in his heart.
The photos he just saw flashed through his mind: metal headbands, electrodes pierced into the skull, people with distorted faces!
"That's it for the background introduction. Do you understand?"
The soldiers nodded, "Yes, sir."
The middle-aged man continued: "Although we couldn't figure out who did it, we always knew where they were hiding."
Before the soldiers showed their surprise, the middle-aged man explained: "The doctor is an important asset of Tianhai, and his body has always been implanted with Tianhai's positioning device. The kidnappers ignored this, which was their biggest crime.
mistake!"
The middle-aged man looked at his soldiers and said calmly: "What we have to do is to raid the enemy's stronghold and rescue the doctor safely."
"Yes, sir!"
"This is Ralph Turner from the M.I.S.O. Intelligence Division. He will directly lead your follow-up actions in this mission."
The middle-aged man pointed at the young man in a suit and leather shoes and said.
Ralph Turner walks up to the big screen.
"The enemy's position has been determined, and I will explain the surrounding situation to everyone."
A satellite map was displayed on the big screen.
"This is a residential area in Qadisiya City. Tianhai Company helped us discover their secret stronghold. The positioning shows that the doctor is there!"
The target building is a five-story building. The structural diagram has been displayed and is constantly rotating on the screen.
"The doctor is on the fourth floor. There are estimated to be fifteen to twenty militants among them." Ralph paused and said in a positive tone: "The surrounding surveillance shows that the people entering and exiting are all NMC (New Mitochondrial Variant)
!”
Jack grinned and said, "What NMC? You can just call them aliens."
The soldiers burst into laughter.
Ralph nodded, "Well, there are at least fifteen aliens, so after we rush in, everyone will be the enemy, without exception."
The soldiers understood.
Having experienced many battles, of course they knew what this young man who looked like a gentle man meant.
"The specific information has been sent to your personal computers. You can check it yourself later. Do you have any questions?"
No one spoke.
"Very good, we will depart in two hours, at 2100 hours, and the estimated arrival time is 2120 hours."
"yes!"
"Well, I will follow you in this raid, and our Intelligence Department will be responsible for the logistical support."
Ralph Turner said seriously: "Remember, the mission of this mission is to absolutely not allow those from the NMC Liberation Front to obtain the research results of the PhD."
The soldiers left silently.
After hearing Ralph's last words, Chen Xin already realized: this mission is not actually a mission to rescue "people". It seems that the doctor can be abandoned when necessary.
With two hours to use, Chen Xin glanced at the combat information and ignored them.
What he really cares about is what is going on in this world!
Mitochondrial mutations and heterogeneous species were all things he had never heard of before.
Their portable computer system was very simple, but very powerful. Chen Xin quickly obtained the information he urgently needed from there.
To put it simply: many years ago, the mitochondria in the cells collectively rebelled!
Mitochondria originally existed in biological cells as organelles, and their role is to provide energy to cells.
In particular, they have their own genetic material and genetic system.
This independence of mitochondria is remarkable.
Some people believe that billions of years ago, after protomitochondria were engulfed by prokaryotes, they formed a symbiotic relationship with the host cell. The protomitochondria obtained nutrients from the cells, and the cells could use the energy produced by the protomitochondria.
The long-term symbiosis eventually led to the development of the original mitochondria into the current mitochondria.
But this symbiotic relationship is extremely fragile.
Mitochondria are deliberately parasitic in cells, and their purpose is to pass on their own genes.
Until that day, they woke up.
In 1995, the Japanese parasitic incident shocked the world, followed by the Opera House incident in Hell's Kitchen in 1997, plunging the world into endless panic.
However, that's just the beginning.
Soon, the mitochondria in nearly one percent of the human body awakened. They gained consciousness, had the ability to control energy, and could even transform into human forms!
The resulting chaos killed more than three billion people.
Even the savior goddess Aya, who had the power of mitochondrial awakening and could completely control it, died.
Humanity paid a huge price to barely eliminate mitochondrial variants.
At this time, Tianhai Molecular Biotechnology Company successfully developed the Mitochondrial Variation Control Headband (MVCH).
Its specific electromagnetic waves and built-in medicine capsule that continuously releases biological enzymes can curb the malignant proliferation of mitochondria and help humans with the possibility of mitochondrial mutation live like ordinary people.
Soon, all countries in the world started screening newborns. Once they were found to have a possible mutation, they had to wear MVCH for life and go to designated hospitals for regular physical examinations and replacement of headband batteries and medicine bags.
These people, who have been marked since childhood, are called novel mitochondrial variants (NMC).
Of course, these alienated innocent people inevitably suffered discrimination.
"Chen, why are you looking so seriously? We should go!"
Jack came over.
Chen Xin lowered his head and looked at his watch. There were only fifteen minutes left before departure.
The dial of his watch faces inward, so that he can easily read various data on it when holding a gun in combat, and it also prevents the watch from reflecting or being damaged.
"Let's go."
Chen Xin stood up, stretched his shoulders, and followed Jack to get his equipment.
Although the individual combat system they use has been designed to be lightweight, it is still very heavy.
If it were in the past, Chen Xin would probably be out of breath after wearing this outfit.
But now, he feels very relaxed.
His current height of 1.8 meters is not considered tall among a group of burly men, but the muscles on his body are a bit exaggerated.
For his medium stature, he looks very strong, like a strong brown bear.
The muscle lines are smooth and perfect, implying powerful explosive power.
