In the tropical rainforest of the Congo in Africa, the huge anti-gravity spacecraft brings a modern technological atmosphere to this primitive world. This collision of primitive and modern, technology and nature is perfectly integrated.
Inside the anti-gravity spacecraft, Liu Daoming, Li Jingxuan and others are carefully analyzing the samples that were just collected today. The spacecraft is very large, with a variety of advanced research equipment and instruments on it. It is completely a mobile scientific laboratory.
"A major discovery, the SIV virus was found in these apes captured today."
Soon, the person in the research team who was responsible for analyzing the blood of the monkeys discovered that indeed the ancestor of the HIV virus, the SIV virus, was found in these monkeys.
"This is a tree that has never been discovered before. I compared it with biobanks around the world. Whether it is from the appearance of the tree, leaves, fruits, flowers, etc., or from the genetic form of the tree, I can
It is determined to be a new species that has not been discovered yet."
Li Jingxuan was also very excited because he conducted an in-depth analysis of the samples collected today and found that the towering tree turned out to be a new species that had not yet been discovered.
"I think this tree can be named Jingxuan Tree. This name is quite good and has a poetic feeling."
Then Li Jingxuan touched his chin and thought about naming this tree.
"Jingxuan Tree... I discovered this tree after all, so it should be named after me. The Daoming Tree is pretty good."
When Liu Daoming heard this, he immediately shook his head. Li Jingxuan had already named many newly discovered creatures after himself, such as Jingxuan grass, Jingxuan ants, Jingxuan insects, etc. Liu Daoming could not remember clearly.
After all, there is a new species called Jingxuan.
"Are you disgusted? Name it after yourself. The key is that you have to have a good name. Daomingshu. I don't feel anything just hearing it. No, no~"
When Li Jingxuan heard this, he almost jumped up. It was Li Jingxuan's prerogative to name new species. Now Liu Daoming wanted to take away his naming rights. This was absolutely unacceptable.
"Disgusting... If you insist on saying so, I think this kind of tree will be called the cheeky Jingxuan tree."
Liu Daoming was speechless. He had never seen such a shameless person before, and he was completely convinced.
"The Jingxuan tree is the Jingxuan tree, why do we need to add a thick skin?"
Li Jingxuan curled his lips and successfully defended his naming rights, and then happily began to study the characteristics of this Jingxuan tree.
As for the researchers and scientists under the two men, they all suppressed their smiles, and it was a joy to work under these two funny men.
At least, the working atmosphere is very good, very relaxed and joyful...
"Since this kind of ape carries the SIV virus, are they eating the fruits of the Jingxuan tree to satisfy their hunger, to supplement salt, or to treat certain diseases in the body?"
Li Jingxuan said to himself.
In the primitive tropical rainforest, apes basically rely on eating fruits from trees to satisfy their hunger. In the tropical rainforest, there are so many natural fruits, and there are dozens or hundreds of varieties available at any time.
Edible fruits, buds, roots, flowers, etc. In such a paradise, these apes will always have endless food.
However, although the food is huge, in this tropical rain forest, things rich in salt are very rare and very precious. There are only a few rocks, soil and the like that contain some salt, so animals will gather in these places to eat the rocks.
Or soil to replenish the salt in the body.
But there are also a very small number of fruits that contain a small amount of salt, and these fruits are also the favorite things of animals.
However, in nature, after long years of natural evolution, animals will slowly learn to eat some plants to cure certain diseases in the body.
For example, dogs sometimes eat grass to clean their intestines and stomach and help digestion. This instinct comes from the dog's ancestor, the wolf. Wolves eat meat as food, but they cannot digest meat after eating it for a long time, so they also need to eat grass to help digestion and cleanup.
stomach.
So Li Jingxuan also suspected that these apes eat this red fruit to cure some kind of disease in the body.
"Experiment one by one~"
Li Jingxuan began to lead his team to get busy.
Liu Daoming was not idle here either, analyzing the collected Jingxuan tree sap, flowers, fruits, leaves, rhizomes, surrounding soil, etc.
"This Jingxuan tree should be the only tree of this kind within a radius of dozens of miles. Maybe there are not even a few of this kind of tree in this tropical rainforest. If there were many, they would have been killed long ago.
Found."
"The fruit is not rich in protein and contains very little sugar. Basically, we can rule out that this group of apes came to eat this red fruit to satisfy their hunger."
"These apes should also know that in the primitive rainforest, bright red things are poisonous. If they have a choice, they will not eat such things to satisfy their hunger."
"The salt content in the fruit is zero. It can also be ruled out that they eat this red fruit to supplement the salt. So there is only one possibility left. They eat this fruit to treat some kind of disease in the body."
"No, maybe there is another possibility. It is used to supplement certain trace elements in the body."
Thinking of this, Li Jingxuan frowned again. There are many types of trace elements in living organisms, and it is not easy to figure them out.
"Let's first analyze some of the things contained in this fruit."
Li Jingxuan quickly relaxed his frown and continued to work.
On the other hand, Liu Daoming was more direct. He had been studying HIV for a long time, so when he learned that these apes carried the HIV virus, he was very excited.
"This original SIV virus is hard to find, but I didn't expect that it was collected today. This is of great significance for studying the origin and mutation of the HIV virus."
"I have always wanted to get some original SIV viruses, but I have never been able to find them."
Liu Dao was obviously very excited. Viruses are constantly mutating and evolving. If a virus can find its original origin virus, this will also be of great significance and role for the study of this virus.
The teams led by Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan were all in a state of excitement. Coming to this primitive tropical rainforest was like walking into a treasure house of nature and life.
There are too many things here that attract them and make them delve deeper into it tirelessly. Especially the discovery of new species makes them even more excited.
"Major discovery, major discovery~"
A few days later, Li Jingxuan couldn't help shouting.
"You yell every day, can you stop yelling like this?"
Liu Daoming couldn't help but shake his head. As soon as Li Jingxuan noticed something, he couldn't help but yell.
"The fruit of the Jingxuan tree contains a substance that we have never discovered before. I temporarily named this substance Jingxuansu. This Jingxuansu chemically reacts with pepsinogen in animals to form a
A substance that can resist the erosion of SIV virus. I named this substance Jingxuan enzyme."
Li Jingxuan was dancing and excited, and told him about his major discovery.
"Jingxuansu?"
"Jingxuan enzyme?"
"What the hell~"
When Liu Daoming and others heard this, they were all speechless. Li Jingxuan's bad habit named after himself was really intolerable.
But soon, Liu Daoming and others became excited. The Jingxuan enzyme was actually able to resist the SIV virus. It was immediately clear to everyone why these apes carrying the SIV virus went to pick the fruits of the Jingxuan tree. Why?
It may be used to resist the erosion of SIV virus in the body.
"Is this Jingxuan enzyme effective against the HIV virus?"
Liu Daoming suddenly regained his energy and stopped worrying about the name.
"I don't know, I haven't conducted the experiment yet."
Li Jingxuan shook his head and said.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and give it a try."
When Liu Daoming heard this, he started experimenting again without stopping.
"Haha~ It really works. This Jingxuan enzyme is indeed resistant to the HIV virus, but the effect is not that obvious. I think it may not be pure enough."
Soon, the results of the experiment came out, and the entire team became extremely excited. They had been studying the HIV virus for a long time, and now there was finally some hope and signs.
"No, it's not a matter of purity. There should be other factors involved."
"Tell everyone to come back. We are going back. We must go back to the laboratory. Now that we have found the Jingxuan enzyme that can resist the HIV virus, we have many ways to extract drugs that can treat AIDS."
Liu Daoming thought for a while and shook his head, then pondered for a while, thought about it and said.
He can't wait any longer and wants to go back immediately. There are more advanced equipment and instruments at the Galaxy Research Institute, and he is confident that he can produce drugs to treat AIDS.
