Carter pursed his lips and said seriously: "Carter, we must choose between freedom and recovery."
"But it's hard, isn't it?" John looked Carter in the eyes, "otherwise you would have succeeded."
"Yes, it is indeed difficult." Carter said, "I have tried my best, but I am still very far away from success. Maybe I won't be able to do it in my whole life... I always can't sleep during this time, because I know that I
My level is very limited, but I thought of a way, maybe I can try it.”
"What can I do?" John's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he wanted to dig something out of Carter's mouth right away.
Carter said: "I can't restore everyone's body, but I can get rid of the extra insect legs and let everyone walk on two legs. What do you think?"
John was suddenly stunned: "Is it possible?"
"Okay." Carter said, "Didn't I ask the defenders to send a few corpses some time ago? I dissected them."
The insect swarm attacked Buha Island for more than a day or two. The defenders did not know how many insect people were killed. It was not a big deal to provide a few corpses for the laboratory.
To be honest, the guards were very strict with the bugs, but they also tried their best to meet the bugs' requirements. Neither Carter nor John could fault them at all.
"What did you find?" John asked worriedly.
This is not the first time Carter has dissected a bug man. He had done this when he first arrived on Buha Island.
Although John did not participate in the autopsy, he still remembers the scene at that time. Carter came out of the autopsy room in despair, accompanied by several doctors from Beijing.
According to the doctor, the aliens' transformation of insect-men is both simple and crude. It basically involves cutting the human body off at the waist and then placing it on a giant insect. The human organs are all in the human belly, and the insect organs are all in the insect's belly.
, the same creature has two sets of organs, human and insect, which are integrated with each other but have nothing to do with each other. He can't understand why the two different circulatory systems are not mutually exclusive!
When the doctor said this, his expression was very strange, and he repeatedly praised this as a biological miracle. If this mystery could be solved, it would be an unattainable milestone in the history of medicine.
John almost broke his teeth at that time. If he hadn't been worried about the defenders, he would have smashed that bastard doctor's mouth with a punch.
Later, the defenders arranged a physical examination for all the bugmen who surrendered. It was found that the body structure of all the bugmen was similar to the anatomy results. From this, Beidou concluded that the aliens had mastered an effective transformation plan.
, it may even be an assembly line transformation system!
But this conclusion does not help the insect man's recovery plan, but becomes an obstacle to the recovery plan!
Theoretically speaking, all one needs to do is separate the "human" and "bug" parts of the bug-man and then regrow the lower body. Beidou has already mastered similar technology and can definitely do this.
The Insect Man thought so at the time, and Beidu was even prepared for this. However, in-depth research found that the Insect Man's lower body was not installed, but grew out, because the Insect Man's upper and lower bodies have the same DNA.
, and there are a total of thirty-one, some of them belong to humans, and the rest cannot be said to be from what kind of creatures.
Later investigations also confirmed this - the insect man's lower body was developed from his legs, rather than placing the human upper body on the insect's body.
Everyone is terrified by the biochemical technology of aliens. Experts from Beidou assert that at the current level of human beings, it will take at least thirty years of development before it is possible to master similar technology.
Note, it’s just a possibility!
Having seen that the hoped-for recovery plan was stillborn, Carter has been committed to the research and development of biotechnology since then, intending to solve the problem of insecticide at the genetic level.
He has achieved many results, but no technology can transform the insect man back.
Carter tried to change the insect-man's genes back to normal human genes, and soon succeeded. However, as the genes were repaired, a strong rejection reaction appeared all over the insect-man's body. After only a few minutes, the people who participated in the experiment
The insect man died in excruciating pain.
Later, Carter conducted a series of experiments on rejection reactions, but without exception, they all failed.
But the by-product of this experiment eventually became cell fusion technology. If it weren't for Carter's anti-rejection experiment, cell fusion would never be successful in the short term.
It must be noted that Beidou has never concealed Carter's contribution. The cell fusion experimental team is led by Professor Qin, but everyone knows that there is a mysterious Dr. Carter behind Professor Qin.
Carter and John didn't know yet that the defenders had received news from Beidu. In view of the current severe situation, Beidu planned to transfer the bugs on Buha Island to Calidan and relocate the ordinary bugs. Carter and other experimental participants were all
Move to Beiyuezhou.
The news Phil heard was that some of the defenders believed that the bugs on the island were a whole, and it was impossible for ordinary bugs to agree to the military taking away Carter and others.
It's not that Phil didn't work hard, it's that he didn't understand Chinese originally, and after two years of study, he was still half-assed. When the original complete information came to him, it would be good to have only one third left.
In order to solve this problem, Carlos and Phil worked together every time to determine what they heard through Phil's narration.
But Chinese is indeed the most difficult language to learn. Carlos could only understand half of Phil's half-baked narration of all kinds of weird things, and the rest was just a guess, and no one knew whether it was accurate or not.
If John knew the truth of the matter, he might make a more rational decision.
Unfortunately, he didn't know, so his only decision was to escape from Buha Island as soon as possible.
After listening to John's question, Carter replied: "It's nothing special. Just to test my idea, I'm close to success."
John hesitated immediately: "Carter, please tell me how long it will take, and if all the stored experimental materials are moved away, will it be enough for us to recover them all?"
"It's hard to say." Carter looked at the experimental table regretfully, "My experiment is not finished yet, it's just a little bit short."
John gritted his teeth and said: "Then we can achieve whatever we want. We can't miss this opportunity. We don't know when we will have to wait until next time!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Carter said, "but I also want to remind you that we don't have any weapons in our hands. How can we break out of the alien siege without the protection of the defenders? We can sneak into the insect swarm and pretend to be the enemy.
?”
John immediately scratched his head: "There are two ways. One is to find a solution from the defenders, and the other is to steal from the enemy... It is best to get weapons from the defenders."
"Unless all the defenders are dead," Carter said.
John sighed: "You don't know whether there is a chance or not. Let's take it one step at a time!"
