The reason is very simple. Researcher students do not have the right to independently host a research project.
Therefore, it would be more difficult for Fang Xiaoyue to use the fleet's research instruments to study brain worms.
But it doesn't matter, he quickly showed his abilities in the project led by the researcher.
"Xiao Fang, you did a good job. This experimental project can be successful because of your hard work."
Researcher Huang was holding a thick stack of experimental data sheets, his face almost bursting from laughter.
The mantis gene analysis project he presided over was definitely a time-wasting scientific research project.
The reason is simple. The genetic complexity of mantises is actually higher than that of humans!
If you want to completely analyze the genes of this insect, it will naturally take a lot of time.
Initially, Researcher Huang thought that this genetic analysis project would take at least two years to complete the analysis successfully.
But what he never expected was that after the student named Fang Mingming joined the project team, the experimental process was greatly improved, and the genetic analysis of the mantis was completed in just half a month.
With the genetic map of mantises in hand, the Institute of Biology can quickly develop insecticides against mantises.
Of course, after new pesticides appear, the Zerg will update and evolve the genetic map of the mantis, making the mantis immune to the pesticide.
So this is a cyclic battle.
However, it was Fang Xiaoyue who performed very well in the next two projects, so he was quickly promoted to researcher, thus becoming qualified to host independent experimental projects.
The first independent experimental project he applied for was to develop a special blighting agent for meat rugs.
Well, this is also a helpless thing. Only in this way can research projects on insecticides, chemical poisons, etc., be easily approved.
If Fang Xiaoyue launches a project to study planetary orbit deviation, he will most likely be killed if he submits it.
The reason is simple: this kind of research project is completely useless for the Third Exploration Fleet to annihilate the Zerg.
Of course, if he sets the brainworm as a research project, it will definitely be approved, but soon after, more senior researchers in the institute will take over his project, and he can only act as an assistant.
Therefore, the research on brain worms can only be studied secretly under other research projects.
After the project was approved, Fang Xiaoyue got the right to use a biological laboratory and the right to choose a batch of experimental equipment.
But what is a bit surprising is that he did not choose an experimental assistant.
Well, this is not too strange. After all, some researchers are like this. They are worried about the leakage of their scientific research results and do not trust their assistants. They would rather be more tired by themselves than find a few assistants to reduce their pressure.
After obtaining the right to use the laboratory and the right to choose experimental equipment, Fang Xiaoyue immediately selected a batch of high-precision experimental equipment according to her own plan.
After the experimental equipment was moved into the laboratory, he hung a sign outside the laboratory that refused to visit, making it look like he was conducting research in seclusion.
The outermost part of this biological laboratory is made of superalloy, the middle is a layer of lead plate, and the innermost part is carbon nanotubes, which can prevent chemical pollution, mental radiation, etc.
After all, the human fleet has not caught high-level Zerg like Cerebrates before.
However, due to the lack of understanding of this advanced zerg race, the brain worms suddenly burst out into a mental shock in the laboratory, killing many researchers and causing considerable losses to mankind.
Since then, biological laboratories have been made particularly dense to prevent such accidents from happening again.
After briefly checking the laboratory and turning off the camera, Fang Xiaoyue took out the dying brain worm from the void ring and placed it on the dissecting table.
Well, the dissecting table is a must-have piece of equipment in every biology laboratory.
After all, for any biological researcher, dissection is also an essential skill.
Perhaps because he felt the sharpness of the scalpel in Fang Xiaoyue's hand, the dying brainworm actually experienced a small wave of mental shock when the scalpel cut into it.
Fortunately, both Fang Xiaoyue and the biology laboratory withstood the test, but some glassware that was close to them exploded due to the mental impact.
The only thing that made Fang Xiaoyue feel a little regretful was that after this wave of mental shock was released, the brain bug seemed to have squeezed out the last bit of strength and completely lost its vital signs.
Of course, the death of the brainworm did not cause him much trouble. Instead, it made Fang Xiaoyue, who was undergoing anatomy, feel less guilty about his conscience.
After dissecting the brain worm from beginning to end, Fang Xiaoyue found that the body of the brain worm was extremely fragile.
Its epidermis split open on its own with a slight touch of a scalpel. Eighty-five percent of the inside is composed of a protein similar to brain protein, and only the remaining fifteen percent is blood vessels. The outer epidermis,
Mucus etc.
Of course, if he only understood this level, his work this time would be in vain.
What really caught his attention were the protrusions composed of these brain-like proteins. When bioelectricity passed through, these protrusions would emit mental fluctuations of varying strength.
Of course, at this point, as long as he writes the paper, it can basically be said that he has obtained a medal of glory.
Because of such a discovery, humans can follow the same method, conduct repeated experiments, design an electronic instrument that can simulate the mental fluctuations of brain worms, and then interfere with the Zerg!
When those bugs cannot receive the mental fluctuations of the brain bugs, the end of the Zerg race can be said to have come.
In fact, after the research has reached this level, even if the brainworm is exposed, it won't matter.
A medal of glory is enough to offset all doubts.
Of course, he did not directly expose the brain worms, but applied for a batch of living Zerg bodies a few days later.
Thanks to the counterattack launched by humans during this period, a lot of living Zerg needed for biological research were captured.
After Fang Xiaoyue's application was approved, she got three mantis bugs, a spray snake bug and a flying dragon bug.
It has to be said that the biological laboratory still attaches great importance to his research.
You should know that it is generally much more difficult to capture mid-level Zerg units like flying dragon bugs than those of mantis bugs and snake-breathing bugs.
Every time someone is arrested, several lives may be lost.
After obtaining these living Zerg, Fang Xiaoyue dissected these Zerg as usual and focused on studying their brains.
What surprised him was that, completely opposite to the brain worms, the brains of these worms were very small and contained very little encephaloid protein, and only a few bulges were formed on the brain.
