Episode 163. The Disaster of Arrogance (6)

The ultraviolet rays in the laboratory area are specially designed to adapt to plant research. The lighting system is controlled by extremely precise programs and can be adjusted at any time. The current light is similar to the spring afternoon sun in nature, and the temperature is just right.

When passing a solid glass window, Morgana slowed down and looked at it. The smooth glass as smooth as a mirror reflected her face, a little thin, and the scarlet in her pupils was so obvious. She stopped immediately and looked at the glass.

She saw the red mycelium in her pupils connected into small pieces, which were extremely sensitive to light and spread across the eyes.

"Is the mutation so serious...?"

Morgana muttered, turned around, looked at the corridor next to her, and couldn't see the scenery in the distance clearly, but she could still feel that this corridor was no different from the past.

"It's the early stage of fusion... If we follow the data of the experimental subject, it should be three weeks before this will happen? Is this a unique reaction in my body..."

When human cells are with t

After 38 combination, the ecology of slime mold will react with the host ecology at the genetic level and penetrate each other. At this time, the ecological barriers between the two are no longer so clear, but are moving towards a certain degree of "fusion", which is called the "early stage of host ecology construction."

The mold found by Morgana in Antarctica's ice lake is ancient and strange, and can be called the ancestor of modern plants from a biological perspective. Although the spores of mold do not contain chlorophyll, after tens of thousands of genetic experiments by the research team, it has been proved that they can fusion well with various plants.

Since there is no rejection reaction at all, after the slime mold and the host merge, it becomes a powerful new life form, with the characteristics of shaping all life forms, which is a miracle in the world.

One of the most significant results is that components similar to plant chlorophyll appear in the host's red blood cells. Before the final struggle for fusion, the human red blood cells will concentrate on various important organs of the body, such as eyeballs. Then chlorophyll will be completely integrated into human genes, absorb ultraviolet rays, play a role, and then transform the host's ecology and will self-regulate as the external environment changes.

As a senior researcher in genetic engineering, Morgana naturally knew that this period would require a lot of biological energy to be consumed.

If you only see the results, there is only one host result that cannot survive this period, death.

Fortunately, there is another nature in the genes of organisms, that is, reproduction and replication.

Reproduction comes from the genetic characteristics of the mother gene, which will allow individuals who cannot bear gene fusion to quickly die out, and new individuals will be born, inheriting the original mother's characteristics.

Morgana gathered the ends of her hair, knowing very well what she was going to do next. She wanted to create something that would last longer than life.

In my ears, the last advice from the old man in the family seemed to ring again: "No matter how things change, you must do reasonable things at a reasonable time and don't try to do the right things. There is no right things in this world, only reasonable things."

So, she is going to do something reasonable now.

She had already recognized the military's face and realized their purpose. There was nothing new in the world under the sun. Even though the military had helped her conduct research, in the end, she could only surrender to their "passionate wings".

Even if she compromised step by step and compromised, what she got in the end was nothing more than the other party's greed and rushing to kill him.

There is no so-called help, it is all about benefits. Dealing with the devil is always about seeking a slut with the tiger!

Morgana walked towards the end of the corridor, and behind the door was another special area. The interior of the institute was still bright and tidy, transparent and rigorous, full of technology. The bright light lit up immediately after she arrived, and there were test samples, experimental device models and plant specimens that had not yet completed the test.

She slowly walked to a laboratory area. After receiving the highest permission to pass, the solid triple sensing door opened in front of her one after another. The spray disinfection equipment was not opened and sprayed out thick sterilization liquid. The red light shone for a while and soon it went out again.

The temperature here is extremely low, and several thick liquid nitrogen pipes extend from the top of the head to the inside of the facility. Ordinary people must wear thick insulation suits when entering, otherwise they will be frozen to death.

But Morgana just walked in, not caring at all, as if she had forgotten what it was.

Since

After the gene contact of the mold, Morgana evolved a ability and a little side effect: accompanied by the tingling of nerves, her hands often sweated, and blood-red sweat. She knew that it was the mold spores that were binding to her hemoglobin.

In recent days, something was wrong with her body, her hearing was severely damaged, but her perception was multiplied. The plants all over the laboratory seemed to have become her senses.

She often heard some strange sounds, like someone murmured in her mind, and she didn't know if the side effect predicted a more outrageous mutation.

According to the human experimental data of Yutong and Gro, Morgana is very sure that she is experiencing the same hallucinations as them.

She suspected that this was because she had used her special ability after the meeting at the beach. She easily killed several soldiers and an officer named Li Yinlong with her control over the plants.

The feeling was strange, allowing her to control mold and integrate it with the surrounding environment and do anything she could not have done before. This was the first time Morgana used this ability, and it also caused an overreaction in the brain nerve center.

She vaguely felt that the whispering sound was like a terrifying memory left or a dream that shone into reality, which had a terrifying impact on her consciousness.

As for how the whispers came about, she has not yet found the answer.

Based on the nuances of perception, she quickly realized that what she was hearing was the sound of plants, which may be an unknown research area in the evolution of biological organisms!

Plants not only have their own language, but also have memories. This is something that was confirmed by humans a hundred years ago. For plants, there is no nervous system or brain that provides memory functions, so they must rely on cellular memory to perceive ecological changes. Just like mimosa is stimulated by strange mechanical stimulation, it will produce violent reactions and close the leaves.

Plants pass on the memory in their genes to their offspring, and bring her a new consciousness from a brand new ecology, allowing her to gain the perception of plants within the range. Those whispers are actually plants "talking".

There is another example of a plant having memory, which is a reaction to light. When the light shines on a leaf, the whole plant will react. But the magical thing is that this chemical reaction between leaves caused by light is just that people illuminate the roots of the plant, and as a result, the upper part of the plant changes, and after the light disappears, this change continues in the dark.

When light triggers a chemical reaction of a leaf cell, it will lead to a series of changes that will be transmitted to other parts of the plant immediately through special cells such as "cell fiber bundles".
