Su ran didn't say anything, didn't show an accident, and didn't say that he might be the first person to encounter this "virus spore", but vaguely said: "I've heard from my organization that they are extremely dangerous things that can induce others' judgment and behavior through pheromone pheromones."
Chen Ling looked at him and said strangely, "pheromone pheromone? Our current observation has not found that they are secreting such things in large quantities. It seems that your intelligence seems to be inaccurate. "
Su ran was a little depressed: I almost came out with my life! Why is it inaccurate? What's wrong?
But instead of saying this, he listened to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling said, "I don't know how much you know. I'll introduce everything to you first.
"After checking with each other, the origin of the matter should be the fugitives from the ice city. One of them, a platoon leader Niu, with a group of 100 people, entered a village that did not appear in any map and positioning system. In that village, they were encountered with this' higher virus spore life '.
"This is what our team calls it. Its intelligence should be no less than that of humans, but their life forms are extremely strange. Their attainments in biological nervous system are thousands of years ahead of us. Their invasion mode is not pheromone as you guessed, nor the disgusting insect parasitic on human brain in science fiction films, It seems to be very advanced - they are similar to virus invasion. A single spore is a unit. After entering the human body, it goes straight to the brain stem and uses the human body itself as "nutrient" to start large-scale reproduction. The dense "mycelium" will erode the original human brain neural network step by step, forming in the human brain step by step like a huge colony, But in fact, it actually formed a new 'brain'. "
Su ran said, "in other words, they are not parasites. After entering the human body, another brain grows in the human brain?"
Su ran suddenly remembered an absurd saying spread a long time ago that human beings are actually a parasite, the brain is a parasite, and the body is the main body. That's why, even if the brain dies, human beings can survive for a period of time in the form of a vegetable without any external supplies, but the body dies, and if the brain is not properly handled in time, Will soon die.
Thinking of this, Su ran only felt his scalp numb.
But he suddenly remembered why Chen Ling knew so much.
He remembered that Chen Ling said to herself before that she was a researcher in biology. Now it's normal to study luminescence and fever in Xinjing
"That's right." Chen Lingdao said, "moreover, the most peculiar thing is that the second brain formed by them is completely attached to the original brain. The neural context is basically anthropomorphic, and only the most critical part of the nervous system is retained, which greatly saves space. Moreover, we believe that in this way, it solves the problem of human exclusion and completely realizes the control of the human brain, And the inheritance of memory. "
Hearing this, Su ran changed his color slightly.
Memory inheritance.
It's like a fantasy.
However, at this time, Su ran suddenly thought that if he did not inherit the memory, the erection of the real and fake sun monkey he had considered would not be tenable at all.
If these higher virus spores can not have memory, they are essentially no different from infected people, and it is impossible to hide themselves. This is the ability that infected people do not have. Compared with real humans, infected people are rigid and slow, and it is impossible to hide at all.
"That's what's really terrible about it. With memory and wisdom no less than human beings, once they parasitize successfully, they can survive like normal humans without being discovered by anyone. " Chen Ling said, "we don't know how they do it, but the memory they can read should have a time limit. They can't 'Remember' things that are too long and too detailed. They are like us reading the archives in the computer with a USB flash disk to read the memory of human beings parasitized by them. This is the peak in the field of neuroscience. They are extremely advanced races in the field of biology, and Zerg are also explorers in this field. However, compared with them, they lag behind for many thousands of years.
"Fortunately, however, they have no troops or warships. When they first invaded the new capital, they should have only a few individuals, which is very sad - no matter how advanced the biological race is, there are also defects that have to be avoided - that is, the defects of the biological itself.
"Although they have brought a devastating blow to the middle and upper structure of the new capital, they are not invaders like Zerg, but more like a group of refugees. They are extremely weak. The breeding base that initially arrived in the new capital may not be more than ten. Otherwise, with their biotechnology, they should be able to turn the new capital into a ghost city overnight, They can build their invincible biological Legion in a month! "
Su ran was silent.
He doesn't really want to talk.
Chen Ling continued: "on the 18th, the first day is still normal. That should be the slow development period of this spore. It is very smart. Under the condition of limited reproduction times, as long as it successfully reproduces in an individual and grows a nervous system for its thinking and judgment, it can pass the first level through observation and contact, Quickly transfer their spores to the upper layer of the new capital, capture higher-level individuals in human beings and become one of them.
"A breeze, a sneeze and a brief physical contact can help it spread.
"Then the terrible change began.
"At noon on the 19th, a scientific researcher of our Institute of biology was the first to find an abnormality and urgently isolated the survivors of the ice city, but it was too late. We still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation until there was a violent turmoil in the high-level. Overnight, great changes took place in the upper level of the new capital... Sorry, because of my level, I don't know the specific situation. I only know that after that night, these spore parasites completely mastered the power. Relying on this way of diffusion and parasitism, they quickly expanded their power to the middle and lower levels, turning all suspicious and influential people into their people. The real logging shock only occurred in a few small circles at the top, and began and ended quickly, There was almost no wind in the new capital, and because there was almost no way to prevent it in the early stage, even if many people knew that the people who controlled the new capital had become a group of monsters with strange life forms, they could only hide and disappear, otherwise they would stay in the top circle now full of "demons and ghosts" and become one of them sooner or later. "
Su Ran's eyes sank slightly. He seemed to be able to imagine such a scene. He sat on the high-level conference table. Suddenly, rows of high-level military officials and government officials stood up expressionless and drew guns to shoot colleagues who had absolute trust in them one by one.
Blood was full, and there were stunned bodies everywhere.
More spores spread like a plague, turning all those suspicious of this great change into part of them, thus achieving unprecedented unity and no objection.
This is stronger and more effective than any kind of coup.
Su ran said, "in other words, the military and political circles in the new capital are like a big tree full of holes eaten by parasites. We can neither take tough measures, because a large number of real humans will die; Nor can we send people to carefully distinguish and contact one by one, because when the people we send find the parasite, they are likely to be parasitized on the spot, or even infiltrate ourselves in turn? "
Chen Ling was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Su ran suddenly realized the key and the problem, nodded: "that's right."
