Zhang Xu has excellent hearing. Although he was attracted by the dazzling light, he could still hear his father's soft whisper. He looked at Zhang Xiaofeng and asked: "Dad, what on earth were you talking about just now? What about phagocytosis, and this What the hell is going on!"
Zhang Xu's tone was obviously dull. He looked at his father, trying to find out the truth from his eyes, but in vain.
Zhang Xiaofeng was obviously very excited. He said slowly in a trembling tone: "This starts when I go to country M."
…
Zhang Xiaofeng went abroad to study after graduating from university. At that time, he was very eager to communicate with scientific researchers from all over the world. His genetic engineering thesis during his college years was highly praised by many people.
When he went to Country M, he met his mentor, and coincidentally, his mentor was none other than James Edward. He was the most outstanding genetic engineering professor of the century, who laid the foundation for all genetic engineering alkaline genes.
Zhang Xu was a little curious when he heard this, Dr. Edward? Isn't he Xuan Zhinuo's grandfather?
But then I thought again, Xuan Zhinuo and I were not born yet at that time, this can only be said to be a coincidence.
"My mentor at the time, Dr. Edward, was not as famous as he was at this time. Until one day, one of his friends changed him and also changed me..." After Zhang Xiaofeng finished speaking, he paused, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Dr. Edward has a college friend who majors in archeology. Nowadays, many ruins on the mainland have been excavated, and the only ones left are underground and underwater.
Based on ancient records and oral accounts of local people, the archeology professor and his team found the remains of the long-established Muria civilization on the islands in the Pacific.
Many people have literature about it based on the records of ancient Egyptian civilization, Mayan civilization and other civilization relics. Although it is just a few words, it can be seen that this civilization was unprecedentedly powerful, but many people cannot find it from other civilizations. Find out how powerful it is.
There are many definitions of 'powerful'. Whether this civilization has a sufficient economy, abundant food, or a large army, no one can draw a conclusion. The thing that prevents them from guessing the most is that they are technologically powerful. One is more than 30,000 ahead of modern civilization. How powerful can civilization be in 2000? It would be nice to have iron weapons.
But after the archaeologist discovered the ruins, he was a little disappointed. He did not find the so-called high technology left behind, so he could roughly infer that this civilization was at most the Cold War Age. According to the measurement of the rock murals, it was about 37,000 years old. Historical years.
Archaeological excavation work is carried out every day, but the things unearthed are almost pitiful. However, it has confirmed the size of its building complex and can also prove that the legend of the Muria civilization is real.
Just a few nights before they decided to evacuate the archaeological work, they discovered a stone slab in the center of what looked like an altar.
There are ancient and obscure words engraved on it, and a purple-gray crystal is embedded in the center, which is very conspicuous.
"It seems that this purple crystal can be taken off." As he spoke, a young archaeologist, before he touched the crystal with his hand, the black text on the stone slab seemed to come alive and rushed directly to this staff member.
Countless black liquid swept through his body along his fingers. After he screamed, his whole body was swallowed by the black liquid.
The other staff were all panicked and stood still. Two people desperately tried to save their friends, but unfortunately they were also directly swallowed by the unknown black liquid.
They ran away and screamed. Soon after, the people around them called the security personnel, but there were only three corpses standing on the spot. They became pitch black, and even their bones had become fragile. Unbearable, these are traces of carbonization.
The black liquid seemed to have become a pool of stagnant water, and there was no movement on the stone slab.
Since three people died, they were also taken seriously. This stone slab and the corpses were to be examined, but this examination was very difficult. The black water was composed of a kind of aggregated cells, although there were not many of them. Wisdom, but they all have individual vitality.
In short, these black liquids are alive.
The person in charge this time, who was also the discoverer, decided to show these things to his old friend Dr. Edward, hoping that he could unlock the secrets of these cells.
At that time, Zhang Xiaofeng was about to graduate and was recognized by Edward. He was invited by Edward to participate in the research. After all, scientific exploration always requires young people.
After giving this piece of Murian Civilization slate and black liquid to Edward, Edward thought it was a simple task of detecting chemical components, but after the first observation, he felt that it was not simple.
He compared the known biological database on the earth and found that no organism had similar genes. Obviously, the cells on the black liquid did not belong to the earth, which aroused Edward's interest in research.
Zhang Xiaofeng usually helps Dr. Edward, organizing documents and workbench, and can learn from his knowledge. Of course, Edward has not forgotten his student. After all, his original intention of inviting Zhang Xiaofeng was to practice.
They found that this black liquid contained a lot of complex nutrients, which could provide nutrients to the black liquid. After many separations, Edward and the others finally separated the black liquid into two substances.
One of them is the Alpha Biological Virus Stock Solution, which has a strong gene tampering ability and can repair defects in biological genes and improve their abilities. These complex nutrients are provided to it.
The subsequent zombie viruses were diluted from it, causing an irreversible global crisis.
The other is a phagocyte, which is a powerful phagocyte that has never been seen before. Its structure has a polyhedral cell wall and three slowly interlocking nuclei.
Its food is this alpha virus, and the nutrient solution is to culture the alpha virus so that it can be supplied to this phagocyte in sufficient quantity.
The number of phagocytes is very small, which is what Edward and his colleagues discovered after many years of research.
One day, Edward received an invitation to his daughter's wedding and left the institute, while Zhang Xiaofeng continued to guard this small laboratory as usual.
There was no one around, and everyone had forgotten about the stone slab. The research value of these black liquids was already very high, and no one wanted to give up the ready-made treasure.
Just as Zhang Xiaofeng was wiping the workbench, he heard sparse whispers in his ears. This kind of sound made him feel frightened. Now he was the only one in the entire laboratory, and there was such a strange sound coming from it, which would make anyone think of it. Feeling inexplicably scared.
He turned around inadvertently and took a look. No one was playing pranks on him, but the sound floating in his ears was really bizarre. No matter where he went, this whisper always sounded in his ears.
Zhang Xiaofeng is quite bold. If he had planned to kill himself, he would have probably carried it out long ago. He plucked up the courage and looked around for a long time. This unintelligible whisper was changed to English in Zhang Xiaofeng's ears, and he understood it instantly. .
"Where is this place? You are not... from Elmos, is this still El Tower?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaofeng frowned, what Elta, what Elmos people. While he was doubtful, he saw the purple crystals on the stone slab of the workbench shining brightly. He hesitated, but still picked it up.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofeng's mind went blank and he fainted.
After a few hours passed, he shook his painful brain and found that the crystal was still in his hand, so he wanted to put it back, but he heard someone talking to him again, and this time it was still Chinese that he was familiar with.
"Hello, Zhang Xiaofeng, my name is Delman in your community language."
Zhang Xiaofeng was stunned again. Who looks down on Country Z so much and calls it a community? He raised his voice: "That Delman, who are you? Come out and stop playing pranks."
"I'm in your hand..." As he spoke, the purple crystal in Zhang Xiaofeng's hand lit up again.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofeng felt his head sink, but he did not faint. Then he raised his head and saw a creature standing in front of him. It looked weird, like a weird humanoid demon, with two huge eyes on both sides of its head. There are two long tentacles and a pair of black and red wings on the back.
He subconsciously took a step back and glanced at the door from the corner of his eye. It was too far away, and he thought to himself: Could this be a demon from hell?
"I am not a devil from hell in mythology. According to your literature, I am from the Mansha Super Star Cluster. This super star complex has exceeded your observable distance. I am the law enforcement officer of the Super Star Cluster Alliance, here to investigate A352 -Civilization destruction event on planet 3915451." This strange-looking creature suddenly spoke, speaking authentic Z country Mandarin, which made Zhang Xiaofeng raise his eyebrows
Zhang Xiaofeng calmed down and asked again: "Then can you read minds?" Delman nodded this time: "Your head is like a room without a door. We can read your thoughts at will."
"Wait, you said you come from other super star clusters? So you are a life form from an alien planet?!" Zhang Xiaofeng was a little confused. He knew the concept of super star clusters. This is an astronomical way of expressing stars. .
Like Mars and the Earth, they become planets, and the asteroids surrounding them are called satellites. The Sun is the largest body in the entire solar system and is called a star. At the same time, its mass accounts for 99.86% of the entire solar system. Its mass Its volume is 1.3 million times that of Earth, and its mass is 330,000 times that of Earth.
At present, humans are unable to leave this solar system. The speed of the spacecraft is too slow, and even if it flies out of the solar system, deep sleep and only remaining food will not be enough to last for many years without supplies.
The solar system is so big, but it is just a planetary system. A planetary system is a group composed of multiple stars or a single star as the main body and several planets surrounding it.
And above it there is a larger group - galaxies. Among them, the solar system where humans live is in the Milky Way. According to observations from space telescopes, there are about 150 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. One star is like a sun. , you know how insignificant human beings are.
