On 20 meat balls, a new Martian virus was tested. Compared with the viruses from Blue Star, the Martian virus is very powerful in attacking the human body.
The main reason is that over hundreds of millions of years, the atmosphere of Mars has become increasingly thinner, coupled with the insufficient strength of the planet's magnetic field, causing solar wind and cosmic rays to drive straight into the surface of Mars.
The microorganisms that can thrive in this environment have obviously evolved to a very powerful level. They are not only tenacious in vitality, but also very frighteningly aggressive towards other organisms.
Huang Fan looked at the flesh ball that was on the verge of collapse after being attacked by the virus, and couldn't help but press his temples. As the biochemical properties of these viruses were tested, there were two viruses that made him feel very troublesome.
No. [Mars-Greece-00011], [No.-Canyon-00004], these two Mars viruses are very aggressive to humans.
The former directly attacks human brain cells, while the latter's mutation speed and adaptability are terrifying.
That's what makes it difficult for him.
Meat ball test results show that the No. 11 Mars virus attacks human brain cells very quickly and can be spread through the blood. Once it enters the human body, it will invade the brain cells within ten minutes, and then madly absorb nutrients from the brain cells and divide them.
At present, no meat ball can form antibodies, mainly because the attack speed is too fast.
According to supercomputer simulation results, even if a new human being is infected, if the response is not timely (it needs to be eliminated within 5 minutes after entering the human body), there is a 76.4% chance of causing permanent brain damage.
Since New Humanity currently has no way to repair brain cells, this virus poses a very serious threat to New Humanity.
Fortunately this is a blood-borne virus.
As for the No. 4 virus, it is a rapidly mutating virus, which may be caused by long-term exposure to cosmic rays, making this virus very difficult to deal with.
Unless a large dose of gamma rays is used, or nano-robots are directly used to physically kill the virus, it will be difficult to completely eliminate this ghost thing.
Fortunately, humans in the AD era did not officially enter Mars. If someone accidentally brought these Martian viruses back to the Blue Star, it is estimated that the Illuminati would not have to release the Homo sapiens virus. The Martian virus could bring catastrophe to mankind.
Huang Fan turned off the virtual display screen and sighed happily: "Civilizations with low technology should really be cautious when exploring alien planets."
Jiang Zhiren, who was helping him on the side, silently saved these test data and at the same time raised the biochemical threat level of Mars to level 7.
The biochemical threat level is a set of safety standards formulated by the Scientific Committee on the degree of biological threats from alien planets. The threat level is divided into 0 to 10.
0 is no threat, 1 to 3 is a mild threat, 4 to 6 is a moderate threat, 7 to 9 is a severe threat, and 10 is a fatal threat.
The threat of Ebola virus is only Level 3, while smallpox virus and highly resistant Staphylococcus aureus are assessed as Level 4, and prions and Homo sapiens are assessed as Level 5.
The biochemical threat level of Mars is as high as level 7, which shows the terrible danger involved.
After the biochemical threat level is raised to 7, people, objects, and spacecraft leaving Mars in the future will undergo comprehensive nanorobot physical disinfection to ensure that these microorganisms will not be taken out.
…
Inside the restaurant.
Zhang Haiyang, who was having lunch, listened to Huang Fan talk about the Martian virus.
Zhang Haiyang, who originally planned to enter the automatic adaptation mode to the alien environment, immediately backed down when he saw that the biochemical threat level had been raised to 7.
Even if he is a new human at this level, he may overturn if he is not careful. He does not dare to test the poison on himself.
After eating a piece of fried pork chop, Huang Fan asked about other things: "Ocean, how is your research there?"
Wiping the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, Zhang Haiyang replied: "The research has yielded some results."
"Oh, tell me." Huang Fan asked with interest.
Jiang Zhi and Gao Yuxi on the side did not speak, and were finishing their lunch in silence.
"Maybe it was similar to the mass extinction on Blue Star 65 million years ago."
As soon as he heard this, Huang Fan knew what was going on: "Asteroid impact"
Zhang Haiyang explained: "Yes, and it was a very huge asteroid. That impact not only destroyed the fragile ecology of Mars, but also took away a large part of the atmosphere, thus triggering a complete collapse of the Martian ecology."
Huang Fan doesn't have much doubts about the impact of asteroids destroying the Martian ecology. After all, Mars is a "first-come-first-serve moon", and the asteroid belt is at the doorstep. It is only a matter of time before an asteroid will visit it.
If Mars had a natural satellite as big as the Moon, it might be able to sustain it for a while longer.
"Are the ancient Martian creatures you discovered all invertebrates and plants?"
Zhang Haiyang thought for a while and replied: "Not entirely. There are also some fossils suspected to be vertebrates, which are currently being further excavated."
Picking up a candy apple, Huang Fan gnawed at it while looking through the fossil research reports of Zhang Haiyang and Gao Yuxi.
Among the Martian paleontological fossils that have initially completed modeling and archiving, echinoderms, molluscs, platyhelminthes, annelids, coelenterates, and arthropods among invertebrates have been discovered.
Obviously this situation is very similar to the Blue Star Cambrian. In fact, there is no need to make a fuss about it, because according to the same rules of the universe, organisms will always be affected by the basic rules, resulting in the phenomenon of convergent evolution.
Mars is like a small blue star. It has evolved carbon-based organisms similar to the blue star. This is also within the rules.
…
Return to the experimental cabin again.
He glanced at the row of meat balls in the isolation cabin.
Hey, this is...
One of the meat balls injected with the highly mutated No. 4 virus had unexpected results for Huang Fan.
He immediately opened the virtual display and called up the monitoring data during lunch.
This... Huang Fan couldn't believe his eyes. The No. 4 virus in this flesh ball actually changed its shape and completed symbiosis with the flesh ball cells.
"Naoto, help me get a separate isolation cabin."
"OK."
Huang Fan, whose eyes were full of surprise, continued to look at the data, feeling more and more that this No. 4 virus was unusual.
After a while, Jiang Zhiren brought over an independent life-support isolation cabin.
"Transfer this meat ball to this isolation cabin."
"no problem."
Jiang Zhiren operated the nanorobot, directly wrapped the mutated meat ball, and then transferred it into an independent life-support isolation cabin.
After the transfer was completed, Huang Fan greeted Jiang Zhiren and told him what he had discovered, and the two began to study the mutated meat ball.
On the whole genome sequence analysis image of the atomic scanner, the genetic sequence of virus No. 4 turned into a double helix.
What surprised the two of them even more was that the double helix formed by the No. 4 virus actually formed a pair of chromosomes, seemingly becoming the 24th pair of chromosomes in the flesh ball cells.
"What on earth is going on?" Huang Fan looked at the No. 4 virus that automatically formed chromosomes.
Jiang Zhiren was also puzzled. This was the first time they had encountered this situation.
Could it be that it is a disguise made to parasitize living organisms? But why does it have to become a chromosome pattern?
The two of them conducted careful research and quickly reported their findings to the scientific committee.
We must be extremely cautious about this weird alien virus. Any carelessness may cause unpredictable effects.
