Zhou Jian had never heard of a mutated anaconda. He searched online and was surprised when he saw the introduction. This thing is a variant of the Amazon anaconda that was involved in the catastrophe in the middle of the last century. The so-called anaconda is the Amazon anaconda. If it were an ordinary anaconda,
The Amazon anaconda can grow up to ten meters long as an adult, and the mutated anaconda can double in size.
The thickest part of the abdomen of an ordinary anaconda is equivalent to the waist of an adult man. The diameter of the abdomen of a mutant anaconda can reach one and a half meters, and its length can reach 20 meters. Its full body strength can kill a hippopotamus and rhinoceros. It lives in the tropical jungles of Brazil.
It is an extremely dangerous python.
Speaking of the catastrophe in the mid-21st century, Zhou Jian didn't know much about it. More than a hundred years had passed since the catastrophe ended, and the historical records were somewhat vague.
Zhou Jian only knew that a large-scale war broke out around the world at that time, and unlike the First and Second World War, humans' opponents that time were mutated animals and germs.
Zhou Jian still can't figure out the reason. Suddenly one day, some animals and plants on the earth mutated and became extremely dangerous. At the same time, viruses, bacteria, and fungi also evolved, and people got all kinds of infectious diseases.
, in just ten years, the population of the earth has dropped sharply.
In fact, in the era of hot weapons, the rampage of ferocious beasts is not a disaster for humans. Although large mutated ferocious beasts are powerful, they are no match for the high-tech weapons of the human army. However, some small mutated creatures have left humans at a loss, such as mutated mosquitoes and mutated mosquitoes.
Fruit flies, mutant mice...
There are so many of them, and their targets are so small. Fruit flies and mice are fine, they can at most infect some germs, but mosquitoes are terrifying. If you are bitten by a mosquito, you will at most get a bump and itch for a few days.
If you are bitten by a mutated mosquito, you may not be able to get out of bed for a month. If you are bitten by several mosquitoes at the same time, you may die in your sleep due to poisoning.
This mutant mosquito looks exactly like an ordinary mosquito and cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. To deal with this kind of mosquito, the military is completely dumbfounded. High technology is useless. Guns and artillery are not as effective as fly swatters. Use biological and chemical weapons. The mosquitoes are probably not dead yet.
Humanity itself perished first. During the catastrophe, every household required insecticides and mosquito nets. Even so, a large number of people died from mosquito bites every year.
What is more terrifying than these monster mosquitoes is the plague. Once infected, there is no feasible treatment and the only option is to be isolated. But who wants to be locked up and wait to die, and then put into an incinerator?
Plague patients who were crazy and intent on revenge against society had many riots, which eventually led to direct shooting by the army. Tragedies occurred one after another. In that era, human nature was fully exposed.
Various countries formed an alliance to resist the disasters of nature. At this time, a group of apocalyptic heroes called superpowers and evolvers also emerged among humans.
Their strength is astonishing, and they are simply like supermen. These apocalyptic heroes played a key role in this war, but Zhou Jian did not know what their specific role was.
Later, people discovered that medicinal materials made from certain mutant monsters can treat new infectious diseases. For example, the venom of the Amazon mutant monitor lizard can treat star spot syndrome, and the tiger bones of the Bengal mutant tiger can treat new types of poliomyelitis.
The snake gall of the mutated anaconda is also one of them, but even so, because the number of monster corpses is limited, a large number of people still die from various infectious diseases.
Humans and mutated creatures have been in a stalemate for twenty years, and the new plague has been in a stalemate. After that, the mutations of animals began to slowly decrease, and the mutations of viruses and bacteria stopped. Then humans gradually gained the upper hand and drove the mutated beasts back to the jungles of Africa and Brazil.
and in the vast ocean.
This catastrophe caused human civilization to take a big step back. Until now, in the middle of the 22nd century, the level of human civilization is only slightly better than that at the beginning of the 21st century.
With the end of the catastrophe, the mutants and evolvers among humans also disappeared. Although ancient martial arts became popular because of this, the subsequent warriors could no longer reach the heights of those apocalyptic heroes.
Zhou Jian speculated that the so-called heroes of the apocalypse are actually mutated humans. Since animals and plants can mutate into monsters, why can't humans? However, the cause of the mutation is still a mystery, and it may have been artificially covered up.
The official explanation is that due to the increasingly serious pollution of the environment by humans and the residual radiation from nuclear explosions and nuclear leaks, a large number of mutations have occurred in the earth's creatures.
But anyone who knows some common sense about biology knows that this explanation is pure nonsense and can only be used in novels to bluff people.
It is true that excessive radiation can cause genetic mutations in organisms, which is how the tomatoes and green peppers of Space 1 and 2 came from, but more than 99% of genetic mutations will only cause the death of organisms.
Even the less than 1% probability of successful mutation cannot occur in adult animals and plants, but occurs during the fertilization period. Only when the genes of the fertilized egg are interrupted and recombined can they be transmitted to the cells of the body through mitosis, and the adult will become an adult.
The cells of living things have already been highly differentiated, mutated, and almost cancerous.
So even if, as officials say, environmental pollution and nuclear radiation really exceed the limits that living things on earth can withstand, the result will be that a large number of animal and human cells are damaged by radiation, genetically damaged, oncogenes activated, and finally died of cancer.
Death will never cause mutation.
This is why places that were hit by nuclear bombs, such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, had significantly higher cancer and leukemia rates after World War II, but they have never heard of any mutated organisms appearing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Some people speculate that the catastrophe may be related to the invasion of aliens, but this explanation does not seem to make sense, because during the catastrophe, no one observed UFOs such as UFOs, and no one saw aliens with big eyes and pointed chins.
people.
Some people say that the catastrophe was caused by the failure of biochemical experiments conducted by some major countries. This large-scale biochemical experiment was intended to promote the collective evolution of species on earth. Of course, in Zhou Jian's view, those who hold this view are actually YY
Emperor, not to mention that in the middle of the 21st century, no country has the technological level and financial resources to conduct a biochemical experiment that can affect all species in the world. Even if it does, what is the reason for a certain country to do this? State machine
Is it the most realistic? Is it possible to invest a lot of money in a species gene completion plan? Can it bring GDP or fiscal revenue to the country?
