Chapter 1225

Sometimes Wang Peng really thinks that some of the boats don't take health seriously.

Even if the lab is more interesting, it won't run in the night without even sleeping, right?

Besides, he just came back from Shanghai a few hours ago.

To be honest, he is now in this position. Even if he does nothing, he will not lose his contribution to anyone. His existence is like a business card, or a flag, just standing there is enough for the world to ignore.

At least in Wang Peng's own opinion, nothing is more important than his health, even the series of achievements he has made after completing the controllable nuclear fusion project, even if he has put the Chinese astronauts on the moon

Looking back on doctor Yan's and his advice, I asked myself to urge academician Lu to pay attention to his body and the advice from his superiors, so that I would not only be responsible for the safety of the boat, but also pay attention to his health. Wang Peng was a headache.

How can I persuade you about this?

It's impossible to persuade.

Thinking of this, Wang Peng silently felt for a cigarette from his purse, lit it and smoked it, then leaned against the door to spit out a cigarette ring sadly.

This is probably the longest, most headache and most difficult task he has performed since he joined the army

……

When I was in the car, I had applied for the lab.

Straight to the destination, Lu Zhouxian went to the pool to wash his hands, and then told Xiaoai to take over the whole building. After making sure that there was no trace left, he took the metal tube out of the system space.

In the light of incandescent lamp, the surface of the metal tube is covered with light silver light, which is in sharp contrast to the thick dark green liquid shaking behind the glass groove.

There was no waste of time. The boat took the metal tube and came to a white biosafety cabinet about the size of two refrigerators. It carefully placed it on the feed port and started the equipment.

This biosafety cabinet is made by German medical equipment company for Jinling Institute of higher learning. It adopts air curtain isolation technology and is equipped with ULPA ultra-high efficiency filter. It has 99.999% closure efficiency for particles larger than 0.12 μ m and is discharged after double filtration.

In addition, the high-power air pump that can be pumped into a relative vacuum, the ultraviolet killing system, and the acid-base pool that can be used to inactivate special bacteria It's like hell for microbes, and theoretically it's absolutely safe.

Even, it's no exaggeration to say that if umbrella companies are willing to spend as much money as they are on experimental safety, the residents of raccoon city will not be so miserable.

At the same time, the interior of the whole set of equipment is equipped with two manually operated latex gloves and two electrically driven flexible manipulators.

At the same time of manual operation, researchers using this equipment can also use numerical control program to accurately operate the samples in the biological cabinet.

In fact, most researchers can't use this system. After all, most experiments can be done by hand. However, for Lu Zhou, with such a clever laboratory assistant as AI, he is not required to do those trivial things himself.

Of course, to match these powerful functions, the cost of this device is also quite expensive. Star technology has purchased two sets in total, and the cost of a single set is up to 10 million RMB.

Although compared with other biological experimental equipment, the cost of 10 million RMB is not much, such as a better frozen electron microscope, there is no 30 million budget that can not be taken down at all.

However, the frozen electron microscope is a frozen electron microscope. Generally, who will spend 10 million for a biosafety cabinet with an average cost of no more than 20000?!

It can only be said that poverty limits one's imagination.

The degree of local pride of Jinling Institute of higher learning has far exceeded the imagination of scholars in the same field in China.

It is said that because the experimental equipment is too expensive, many research dogs are shaking from the moment they step into the laboratory door when they apply for the laboratory.

I'm afraid I've scratched a layer of paint and lost the down payment of a suite.

But in fact, this kind of thing will not happen at all. At least in the view of the land boat, the experimental equipment is consumables. If it breaks down, it's not necessary to hold it like a treasure.

Compared with saving costs for him, he is more inclined to encourage researchers in research institutes to invest resources boldly in the laboratory.

In his opinion, every penny spent on scientific research is worth it, even if it may not be worth it now, it will certainly be useful to its opportunities in the future

After setting the experimental parameters, Lu Zhou went to the coffee machine and made himself a cup of coffee.

Wait for a moment in silence.

Soon, a series of crude test data, including microscope images and toxicity tests, were listed in an experimental report and presented to him.

As he guessed, the dark green liquid is made up of a special microbe and is safe in toxicity.The observer civilization in the void didn't put a tube of biological and chemical weapons in the metal tube to pit him. So far, at least, he doesn't see any sense of aggression in this thing.

They are shaped like shuttles, agitating slowly under a microscope at a certain frequency.

In addition to the organelles that most organisms have, there is a special layer of mucus on the surface of these microbial cells. And this layer of mucus is like a kind of hydrophobic adhesive, which closely combines microorganisms with each other, and exchanges a special pheromone between them.

In addition, the microorganism has a unique characteristic, that is, DNA and RNA have high stability. Generally speaking, in order to ensure the dominant position of their own population in the environment, most microorganisms have a certain probability to take a piece of RNA or DNA as their own after swallowing other microorganisms and viruses, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening themselves.

However, this kind of microorganism is different. After devouring other smaller microorganisms, they do not take their DNA or RNA fragments as their own, but destroy them and directly convert them into energy utilization.

Not only that, they are united, advancing and retreating together, not only rejecting external variation, but also their own variation.

Even if there is a mutation in the individual, in the case that the exchange of pheromones can not be completed normally, it will be quickly swallowed and decomposed by other microbial individuals It's like cleaning up cancer cells.

This community composed of microorganisms, extremely repels all forms of variation, and extremely maintains the purity of community genes.

It's hard to imagine such "paranoid" microbes surviving the elimination of natural selection.

Considering the treasure given by the void, most of them are "cultural relics" left by the extinct civilization. The land boat speculates that this kind of microorganism is also a masterpiece of a civilization with advanced biotechnology.

In order to observe its eating process, Lu Zhou tried to order Xiao AI to add 1g breadcrumbs with a diameter of about 0.3mm to the culture dish, and then observed the reaction of these microorganisms under the electron microscope.

Soon, when the bread crumbs contact with the mucus on the surface of microorganisms, these bread crumbs are gradually broken down into smaller organic matter fragments with the mucus transportation, and finally transported to the cell interior.

After a special respiratory reaction, these fragments of organic matter are finally converted into energy and carbon dioxide, as well as a special ketone material.

The ketones are a bit like the synthetic intermediates of some trans fats, but no further reactions have been observed in the boats.

He can only judge by toxicity test that the ketone is harmless to other organisms, but it will inhibit the division and proliferation of the microorganism itself.

"A special decomposer?"

"It should be good to deal with domestic sewage and urban excrement, but the breeding speed seems to be too slow."

"The composition of the secretion is single, and there is no allergen that may induce human allergic reaction. As a food, it should be edible directly But it probably won't taste good. "

“…… Is it okay to be a mask or something? "

Think of here, the face of land boat can not help but emerge a strange expression.

To be honest, it was the last possibility he wanted to believe.

You know, it's a gift in vain.

if it is just two uses of sewer cleaners and mask mud, although the economic value is not small, he will be somewhat disappointed.

After all, sometimes it can't be measured by money.

Time passes by, the sky outside the window has gradually brightened from the deep night.

It took a whole night to do the array free experiment of the boat, looking at the experimental report on the hand, rubbing the sour bridge of the nose.

On the whole, there was a lot to be gained this evening.

Unfortunately, this mysterious microbe seems to have no other useful characteristics than decay.

Not only that, its growth rate is quite slow, even when the macro volume grows to the fist size, it will not continue to grow.

It seems that the pheromones flowing between the micro biomass will automatically adjust the population number, so that its overall size stays in a limited range.

In order for it to continue to propagate, it is necessary to physically segment its individuals and block the exchange of pheromones between the microbiota and the microbiota.

If only as a small expert in septic tank, its slow reproduction alone, the effect is not necessarily better than other similar microbial groups.

as for the mask...

he really doesn't want to take this stuff as a mask for a few bucks.

It's too cheap!

AI: Master, do you want to finish the experiment? （′v｀）]Lu Zhou nodded his head: "let's get here today Remember to clean. "

Xiaoai: [no problem, just wrap it on Xiaoai! By the way, say, master, you haven't named this microbe yet. Can I help you? (???)?]

"no more..."

It's a matter of course to choose a name by yourself. How can it be handed over to the artificial mental retardation?

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou glanced at several lines of data on the experimental report in his hand, and with his first impression, took up his pen and wrote down the name of [dr-111] on it.

"Just call it that."

AI: [AI What's the special meaning of this name? (??)]

land boat: "must there be one?"

Xiaoai: [of course not. It's just that Xiaoai thinks it might be better to name Xiaoai next time Slip. |っっ]

land boat: "..."

This guy, there's more and more bullshit.

The entry of [dr-111] was registered in the database. After all the experimental data were collected from the cache, Xiaoai began to operate the biosafety cabinet to sterilize the residues inside.

The metal tube pops out from the feed port, and the air pump vacuums the air in the biosafety cabinet. With the opening of the UV sterilization system, the whole biosafety cabinet has become a purgatory of microorganisms.

But just then, an unexpected scene happened.

Only the dark green mucus lying in the dish evaporates and shrinks at the speed visible to the naked eye, but the complete shape is still tenaciously maintained.

It's like a slug burning with salt

"Turn off the UV killing system!"

AI: [huh? 0.0]

although confused by the order of the boat, AI still turned off the UV sterilization system.

Just as the ultraviolet radiation gradually weakened, staring at the land boat that controls the interface of the system, suddenly there was a flash of smart light in the brain.

Maybe, he knows.

Why did that extinct civilization create this "stubborn" microorganism.

In other words,

he finally knows where the real purpose of this thing is
