Everything was business as usual in the biochemical laboratory on Buha Island. A bug experimenter "crouched" in front of the experimental table and moved a large glass jar filled with purple-red unknown substances to the experimental table. At first glance, the jar looked like
The contents were like rotten tree roots that had been pickled for many years.
After arranging it, first place a dozen beakers and flasks filled with unknown liquids neatly around them, and then take out a few empty beakers and flasks and place them in corresponding positions.
He took two steps back to take a look, then took two steps forward to adjust the position of the experimental vessel. The insect man nodded with satisfaction, then opened the lid of the large glass jar and poured a little nutrient solution into it.
The purple-red substance immediately crawled out of the glass jar, and root-like tentacles as thick as a finger protruded from the mouth of the jar, waving up and down in a daze.
The insect man immediately guided the waving tentacles into the beaker or flask. Strangely enough, once inserted into the experimental vessel, these weird tentacles immediately stopped waving and stayed there.
After a while, the experimental vessels placed on the experimental table were connected into a whole by the unfolded rotten tree roots. The body of the rotten tree root also came out of the jar and was propped up on the experimental table like a purple flesh umbrella.
Each tentacle supports its body like an umbrella rib, and it looks creepy and evil, as if this thing is a monster that escaped from hell.
Of course, this thing is not a monster, but an auxiliary experimental equipment made by the insect people. Its function is to replace various pipelines and auxiliary experimental equipment. The insect people call this thing a pump insect.
The insect man first tapped the center of the pumpworm a few times, and the pumpworm immediately sucked the liquid in the experimental vessel. The tentacles that sucked in different liquids showed different colors, but only the main body remained purple.
The liquid in the tentacles stopped after being pumped to the roots of the tentacles. The insect man looked at it carefully for a while, and then tapped several tentacles with different strengths.
The tentacles touched by the insect man were released to varying degrees, and various liquids flowed into the main body of the pump insect at different speeds, and were slowly mixed in the main body. The original dark purple quickly turned into bright blue, and after a while it turned into
The light emerald green is like a dyeing workshop opened in the belly of a pumpworm, and there are all kinds of colors.
The insect man's eyes were fixed on the pump bug without blinking, and he would touch the pump bug's body from time to time. Whenever he saw a predetermined color, he would immediately click on a certain tentacle.
, so a new liquid flows into the main body of the pumpworm, and the mixed liquids continue to react, and the color of the pumpworm also undergoes new changes.
It is said that the insect man relies on observing the color changes of pump worms to determine the progress of the experiment... Pump worms have long been the standard configuration of the Buha Island laboratory. For two years, the human biochemistry expert in charge of the laboratory failed to
After learning how to use pump bugs, many people had to express regrets: This thing is not suitable for humans at all, so only bugs who learn from aliens can use it!
Although this statement is somewhat absolute, it is not an exaggeration at all.
Humans once tried to use computers to record the color changes of pumpworms and compile a set of pumpworm user manuals suitable for humans. However, this plan ultimately came to nothing. The reason is that pumpworms not only rely on color to convey information, but also pass information through
The touch transmits corresponding nerve signals to the bug-man, allowing the bug-man's brain to directly read the pump bug's state. Moreover, only the bug-man can read this kind of nerve signal. If it were a human, he would not be able to feel anything at all!
This skill is really awesome, that is, only insects transformed by aliens have this ability. Unless humans completely master the biochemical technology of aliens, they will never be able to replicate this technology.
However, the biochemical technology of aliens is so powerful. The insect people who have only learned a little bit are much better than the top biochemical experts of mankind. Even the experts sent by Beidu to Buha Island cannot understand the insect people at all.
The experiments...the experiments were all done in the stomach of the pumpworm. It's not surprising that you can't understand it, but it's surprising that you can understand it.
For this matter, Beidu also communicated with the Insect Man several times, hoping that the Insect Man would conduct the experiment in a normal way, but the Insect Man firmly refused for the sake of experimental efficiency and accuracy.
Fortunately, the Insect Man promised that after any experiment is completed, a detailed experimental report will be submitted to Beidu to ensure that humans can replicate the experiment.
It turns out that the conventional experiment is indeed much more complicated than the pump worm, and if you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.
However, for every experimental report provided by the bugmen, the final results were confirmed by the laboratory, and human biochemical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds as a result.
Most people, even many experimenters, don't know that many of the results transformed by human biochemical technologies have the shadow of insect-men behind them.
For example, cell fusion, the most critical part of this technology is how two genes are fused together. Without the technology provided by the insect people, it is still unknown whether Professor Qin's experimental team can succeed for another ten or twenty years.
From this point of view, everyone from the space fleet to the commander Huo Qiang to the most ordinary soldiers have to thank the bugs on Buha Island. It is not too much to give each bug a medal.
It's just that the special status of the bug people means that they can only hide behind the scenes and cannot stand in the front stage to enjoy medals and honors.
Maybe it was to compensate, or maybe it was to encourage the Insects to conduct more experiments. Since then, Beidu has stepped up its efforts to support the Insects, and a large amount of experimental materials have arrived on Buha Island, which has greatly improved the progress of the Insects' experiments.
, Although the Buha Island Laboratory is not obvious at present, it has long become the most important biochemical laboratory in mankind, and it is one of the most important!
At this time, the swarm of insects landed on the west coast of Buha Island, and bursts of vague gunshots reached the laboratory. However, the laboratory adopted the highest construction standards, and the exterior walls had excellent sound insulation, not to mention that the gunshots were heard far away from the cloth.
On the west coast of Ha Island, even if it is very close, the sound transmitted into the laboratory is minimal.
It was not audible in the laboratory, but the insect-men outside the laboratory could hear it clearly. They walked out of the room one after another. The tentacles on the heads of several insect-men automatically picked up the extremely weak pheromones in the air without any wind.
These bug-men gathered together and whispered a few words. At this moment, a series of loud noises suddenly came from the distance. A bug-man with a military background exclaimed: "The artillery is a heavy artillery!"
The bugs were in an uproar. The alien attacks had been very frequent recently, but the defenders had never used heavy artillery like they did today, and the sound of the cannons was coming in rapid succession, with no intention of stopping at all, which made the bugs even more suspicious.
.
Realizing the seriousness of this, the bugs' eyes couldn't help but fall on the strongest bug-man.
