I Have A Super USB Drive

After a rigorous disinfection process, Chen Chen finally entered the highest-level biological gene core laboratory in the hive.

Although seven years have passed, the laboratory has been in a sealed state after all, and it is a class 100 clean area, so the entire laboratory has not been polluted.

It was as if time had stopped in this laboratory.

Strictly speaking, this laboratory is a suite, which is divided into seven or eight laboratories with different functions according to various classifications, such as sterilization room, quality inspection room, operation room and so on.

Not only that, what really moved Chen Chen's heart was a set of high-end instruments that Chen Chen had never seen before.

"Centrifuges, nucleic acid extraction instruments, real-time polymerase chain reaction instruments..."

Chen Chen was wrapped in a bloated protective suit. He looked at the machines one by one, and with his instinctive understanding of the equipment in the biological laboratory, as well as his intuition, he quickly recognized some of the instruments.

Because the laboratory also has surveillance, every time Chen Chen walks past an instrument, as long as he can't recognize it, he can get an explanation from x-112.

"this is……"

Suddenly, Chen Chen was attracted by a special device in front of him.

This is a device like a large printer, with a white shell and a deep groove in the middle. There seems to be some tiny components in the groove, so small that it cannot be seen clearly.

"Is this a micromanipulator?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's an adenine base editor."

X-112 said, "This kind of editor can precisely manipulate a single base pair on the DNA. It is a new technology developed on the basis of the rispr gene scissors technology. Through artificial AI, it can lock and edit the genome more effectively. "

Chen Chen was shocked when he heard the words, "Being able to manipulate a single base pair, isn't there almost no off-target phenomenon?"

"It seems to be the case at present." x-112 replied.

"From this point of view, it is not a fluke that this world can research the t-virus. Has the biotechnology of this umbrella company reached such a height?"

Chen Chen murmured in a low voice.

In the real world, there are about three mainstream gene editing technologies for humans today, namely zfn gene editing technology, talen gene editing technology and rispr/as9 genome editing technology.

Among the three technologies, only the rispr/as9 technology has the lowest off-set rate, is the most reliable, and is also the only technology that can edit RNA, so it is also the most widely used gene editing technology.

However, rispr/as9 technology currently has many problems, such as difficulty in complex gene editing, low transfection efficiency, and so on.

However, it seems that this umbrella company has blazed a new path a long time ago, and the gene editing technology alone has surpassed the gap of 30 to 40 years in reality.

Continuing to check, Chen Chen soon found a large number of biological equipment beyond the real technology. With these equipment, Chen Chen can even easily observe the DNA nucleic acid chain, and other technologies are simpler and more accurate than in reality.

This is simply a paradise for biological dogs...

Chen Chen secretly sighed.

"correct,

As if thinking of something, Chen Chen asked excitedly, "Are there any t-virus samples in this beehive?" "

"No, by checking the surveillance records, all the t-viruses and t-virus antidotes were lost 7 years ago, and now only some samples of the ancestor virus exist."

"Ancestral virus?"

Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat. Most people may not have heard of this virus, but Chen Chen had already investigated all the settings of Resident Evil, and he was familiar with this virus.

And the so-called ancestor virus, according to the game settings, is actually the predecessor of the t virus.

The founder of Resident Evil discovered a flower called "Sun Ladder" in Africa, through which the original rna fragment was extracted, and this rna was the progenitor virus.

The Progenitor Virus has the power to change human genes, so after several unsatisfactory experiments, the founder chimerized the gene fragment of the leech with the gene of the Progenitor Virus to generate the original t-virus.

"Where is the ancestor virus?" Chen Chen asked hastily.

"The progenitor virus is frozen in the freezer of the hive." x-112 replied, "Do you need to thaw it now?"

"Wait a minute." Chen Chen thought for a while and quickly waved his hand, "Give me a copy of the Ancestral Virus information, and I'll check it out first."

"clear."

x-112 agreed, and then Chen Chen saw the computer on the side turn on automatically, and then pages of information were sent over.

However, Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes as he went deeper into the Ancestral Virus information.

According to the data, the progenitor virus came from the Dubai tribe in West Africa, and the "Sun Ladder" flower contained a virus substance in the form of rna, which could improve the ability of the human body and prolong the lifespan of human beings.

From a biological point of view, the RNA characteristics of the progenitor virus can promote the evolution of human dna, but the toxin contained in the virus will kill the human immune system, resulting in systemic inflammation, necrosis of skin and other outer tissues, and a large amount of body fluid Loss and secondary infection of various diseases, and then sepsis and severe shock, eventually leading to death.

Only a very small number of individuals have immune receptors that mutate after infection, allowing them to survive, and the survival rate does not exceed 10.

The symptoms of this disease are exactly the same as Ebola hemorrhagic fever?

When Chen Chen saw this, he quickly pulled down, and immediately saw the electron microscope photo of the Progenitor Virus, which looked like a worm-like filamentous virus.

It also comes from West Africa. It is also a filovirus, and even the symptoms of the progenitor virus. It also causes systemic inflammation, skin and other outer tissue necrosis after infection, and the symptoms are almost identical to Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

What a coincidence?

Chen Chen checked the gene sequence of the Progenitor Virus again, only to find that, as expected, the genetic similarity between the Progenitor Virus and the Ebola virus reached 98%!

It can be said to be of the same origin.

Chen Chen looked thoughtful.

It is not surprising that this happens. After all, in the eyes of any ordinary person, Resident Evil was originally written by a real-life screenwriter, and it is reasonable to use the ancestor virus to pay tribute to the Ebola virus in the real world.

However, it is just a tribute to the setting, but it happened to promise that the set virus has the power to change human dna and accelerate human evolution, which is a bit bizarre...

If the screenwriter just fabricated a virus that can make humans evolve out of thin air, Chen Chen can still accept it. After all, the USB flash drive is suspected to have the power to complete the rules, and even superpowers that are out of control can exist. Isn't it normal for viruses?

But what Chen Chen couldn't accept was that this virus had 98% of the same gene sequence as the Ebola virus. Doesn't it mean that the Ebola virus also has the potential to evolve humans as long as it is slightly modified?

So, is Ebola itself capable of this potential, and the Resident Evil story is just self-defeating?

Or is it because of the existence of a parallel space-time like Resident Evil, that Ebola virus, which is very similar to the ancestor virus, appeared?

To put it simply, Chen Chen's question was the Resident Evil movie first, or the Resident Evil plane first?

Chen Chen kept looking at the documents sent by x-112, but his mind had already gone beyond the clouds.

If this problem can be clarified, then Chen Chen will also be able to figure out why some movies can be recognized through the USB flash drive while others cannot...
