Seeing this scene, Chen Chen's eyes flashed with solemnity. In the movie, David just took a small drop and put it in the wine, and then infected an adult, causing the other person to transform into a humanoid monster within ten hours. .

From this, it can be seen that black water is by no means a bacterium or a virus, but a rather stable polymer compound, otherwise it would not easily resist the destructive effect of alcohol.

At this time, the black knight imitated David's operation in the movie, directly broke off the tip of the popsicle, and then inserted a syringe from the side to suck an extremely small amount of black water liquid from the popsicle.

Among these black water liquids, some of the black knights were directly put into the microscope for analysis and observation, while others were injected into the mice that had already been prepared.

Soon, Chen Chen saw that the mice injected with black water began to show symptoms of fever and convulsions.

Soon, the mouse began to lose its hair all over its body, and the pink skin under the hair was exposed to the air, but at this moment, other mice seemed to notice the abnormality, and they all gathered around the sick mouse. beside.

However, this warm scene was immediately reversed, and the sick mouse suddenly jumped up, threw itself on one of the mice, and began to bite it!

All of a sudden, the little white mouse was bitten so bloody!

"After being infected with black water, it will become insane and extremely aggressive."

Chen Chen observed silently, and soon, the sick mouse easily killed other mice in the same cage, and continued to record, "After being infected with black water, the host's own strength will suddenly increase, and it can easily kill the other mice in the same cage. A similar kind, consistent with the performance in the movie..."

After recording all these changes, Chen Chen only saw that the body of the small white mouse in the cage began to turn from red to grayish white. At the same time, it began to eat the flesh and blood of its own kind, as if to accumulate energy for the next mutation.

Soon, the body of this little white mouse gradually grew a layer of horny layer, and began to turn towards black. At the same time, under the black, there was dark red flesh.

In the end, a layer of fine and dense spikes like steel needles protruded from its body, replacing the original white hair. What's even more weird is that these spikes are still going in and out, which looks incomparable. weird...

"It's already a new species."

Chen Chen was shaken in his heart. He greeted a black knight, and that black knight immediately stepped forward, put on thick protective gloves, and at the same time inserted the needle into the cage.

He gently held the mutated mouse and began to suck its blood samples.

After being caught, the little white mouse began to struggle violently and at the same time let out a very weird scream.

This kind of sound is beyond the range of the sound that the little white mouse can make. It is shrill and ferocious. Obviously, this little white mouse has undergone fundamental changes in both its genes and its body structure.

It's just that although this little white mouse has mutated horribly, the difference in size is there after all. No matter how hard it struggles, it can't break free from the black knight's grasp.

However, before the blood of the mutated mice could be analyzed, Black Water analyzed it first.

When the composition of the black water was analyzed, Chen Chen was shocked.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Looking at the test report in his hand, Chen Chen showed a very strange look, "You mean to say that this black water is a protein composed of more than 20 amino acids?"

"Yes, a protein molecule capable of infecting many types of carbon-based life."

Little X replied, "If it weren't for the facts, even I would not believe that there are such strange protein molecules in the world."

"In other words, this is something like a prion?"

Chen Chen took a breath, "Then how is it infected? Is it the same as prions?"

"That's right, according to the blood test on the mice, the answer has been roughly obtained."

Little X said again, "However, unlike other prions, this protein will not deposit in the brain and damage the brain of the creature, but directly change the human gene chain."

After hearing these words, Chen Chen completely understood.

The so-called prions are actually not viruses, because in international textbooks, viruses can be classified into the ranks of organisms, but prions are not considered organisms, but a kind of protein that can replicate itself and have infectious agent.

However, prions are filterable, infectious, and pathogenic like conventional viruses, but they are much smaller than the smallest known conventional viruses, and the structure of virus particles cannot be observed under an electron microscope, and they do not show immunity. effect.

Chen Chen continued to look down, and immediately understood why the black water was a prion.

Because after the prion protein of black water enters the host body, the normal prp protein of the human body will be easily assimilated by the prion protein of black water, changing the normal configuration of the protein into the molecular structure of black water, which increases geometrically and expands rapidly.

But if it’s just that, that’s all. At most, Blackwater is just a new type of rapid and highly infectious prion. But what’s even more surprising is that the prion protein in Blackwater not only has the ability to assimilate the protein in the host’s body , and the ability to dismantle nucleic acids in the host's body!

When the prion protein of the black water encounters the host's nucleic acid chain, it seems to trigger a certain program, starting to disassemble the host's DNA nucleic acid chain and recombine it into a new form.

After the nucleic acid chain is recombined, the prion protein of Heishui will also wrap this new type of nucleic acid chain to form a brand new virus structure.

So far, Blackwater's prion has successfully evolved into a complete virus by plundering the DNA in the organism, and this virus will work with Blackwater to remodel the host's body.

So, the scene where the little white mouse's body appeared just now happened completely...

After reading the report in his hand, Chen Chen looked even weirder, "No wonder it was ingested by the USB flash drive. I didn't expect the black water to be a substance similar to prions, but in my opinion, the prions in the black water are more It's like a man-made protein robot..."

"I also have this feeling."

Little X echoed, "Black water is hundreds or thousands of times more miraculous than prions, and it cannot be defined by a prion at all."

"After all, it is the supreme creation of engineer civilization."

Chen Chen nodded and said with emotion, "But now that I'm here, I finally understand the preciousness of Blackwater. Compared with Blackwater, T-Virus is like an inferior toy, and most of the creatures infected by T-Virus are unstable. Disadvantages, such as zombies, only products that have been infected from the fertilized egg stage can become healthy mutant creatures."

"But black water is different. It can be directly used on adult life. Any creature that comes into contact with black water can directly mutate into a new type of species. What's more, this new type of species has the ability to reproduce. Yes, it can completely form a new population independently, unlike the T virus, which can only undergo single-body mutation and cannot continue."

"Doesn't that mean that black water can accelerate the evolution of life?"

Little X asked.

"No, there is still a gap with evolution."

However, Chen Chen paused and shook his head, "What is evolution? Evolution can only be called evolution if it constantly adapts to the environment, and Blackwater is not like that at all. From the fate of that little white mouse, we can understand that this blackwater Changes caused by water should be called uncontrollable mutations."

"And the direction of this mutation is uncertain. It may be in a good direction or a bad direction. Humans may even lose the characteristics and thoughts of higher organisms after infection, just like in the movie..."

"Ah, if black water is so dangerous, then why do you still study black water?" Xiao X was a little puzzled.

"Although black water is dangerous, everything has two sides."

Chen Chen smiled, "After all, it is a biological weapon dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than the T virus, and it is definitely useful. Besides... engineers can live for more than 300,000 years, and humans are engineers and humans. The combination of black water, is there a possibility that we can find out the mystery of the engineer's longevity from the black water?"
