Chapter 442: Adaptive genes

A few hours later, the Blue Star Biochemical Research Center on a small island.
Wearing a white robe, Tang Shizhe opened the door of a laboratory and walked into the laboratory.
After detailed testing, it has been ascertained that the cause of the woman's mutation is not a super virus, but a mutation in her own genes.
In order to prevent cosmic radiation from affecting the genes in this sample, the research laboratory was set on an island on this blue star.
After entering the laboratory, Tang Shizhe saw the woman detained in a transparent glass cage.
This transparent cage is the same material as the portholes on the Federal Warship. Even if it is less than ten centimeters thick, it can withstand close-range attacks from heavy artillery! The defense is even stronger than the average alloy!
Dozens of alloy tubes with a diameter of less than one centimeter were connected from the sealed cage to an oxygen cylinder outside.
In addition, there is only one microphone and one speaker left in the cage. If you want to talk to the woman behind the ten-centimeter-thick battleship glass, you can only use this device.
"How's it going, has she regained her sanity?" Tang Shizhe walked to the cage with her hands behind her back, and the woman in the cage was curling up listlessly in the corner.
"No, she seems to have lost her original memory, her character has become extremely irritable, full of aggressiveness! Now because the energy in her body has been almost exhausted, she has to live for a while." A researcher lightly He shook his head slightly.
"Is the tranquilizer useless?" Tang Shizhe put his head close to the glass, and the small scratches dug out by the woman could be clearly seen on the glass, it was incredible!
"It's no use. The cells in her body seem to have super drug resistance. Any drug will not have any effect on the cells in her body as long as it is used once!" The researcher shook his head again, and pointed to the side already. A large number of empty glass bottles.
"What happened to her?" Tang Shizhe frowned. This situation is definitely not a simple mutation.
"Boss, you can't believe it."
"After experiments, we found that her cells have the ability to adapt to evolution! Simply put, after her cells are injured, they will evolve according to the damage!"
"Not only that, this gene also has a high degree of self-repair ability. For example, we have not detected any viruses, bacteria, or cancer cells in this woman's body! Her body is now in an absolutely perfect and primitive state! It's as pure as a newborn child, just to make an analogy..." The scientific researcher said that his eyes glowed inexplicably, rubbing his hands trivially.
"Look!" the researcher said, pressing a switch on the console.
After a while, a bowl of green liquid rose under the floor in the cage.
The woman shrinking in the corner rushed towards the bowl of liquid like a mosquito smelling blood.
"This bowl is filled with concentrated nutrient solution, the amount is enough to sustain her to accept the next experiment!" As soon as the researcher's voice fell, she saw five long thorns on the woman's hand, and the woman threw directly on the glass. On the side of the wall, he began to stroke the glass with his long thorns!
"You see, she felt that she was trapped, and the cells in her body automatically evolved organs for attack. However, this ability is not unlimited after all. The organs she evolved cannot break our glass wall at all. "The researcher stood up and walked to the oxygen cylinder.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Shizhe reached out and grabbed the researcher's hand.
"Boss, I just want you to see her adaptability!" The researcher shrugged helplessly, and Tang Shizhe took his hand away.
After the researcher screwed the air outlet of the oxygen cylinder to death, Tang Shizhe found that the woman in the glass cage began to slip to the ground.
"Now the glass cage is in a vacuum state! According to common sense, normal people cannot survive for long in this state."
"But! She is different! Please look here!" The researcher pulled a display screen in front of him.
"Her abdomen has evolved an organ that can break down the water in the body into oxygen. Although this may cause her body to be dehydrated in the end, it can save her from worrying about oxygen in a short time!" The researcher just finished. The woman stood up again.
"Look, because the body began to lack water, her cells began to change, and her need for water was greatly reduced. She was able to hold on for longer and longer! Now even if she is not provided with oxygen, she can continue to survive for more than three years. Hours!" After the researcher finished speaking, he pressed a switch on the console again.
A large amount of water seeped from under the floor of the cage, and soon submerged the entire cage!
And the woman in the cage actually grew fish gills behind her ears under Tang Shizhe's gaze!
"This is a trait hidden in our human body, but the genes that determine this ancestral trait have been blocked by histone-based repressor proteins during the evolution process, but under the action of genes adapted to evolution in her body, they were blocked. The gene is reactivated, transcribed and translated again, showing the traits of ancestors, that is, the gills that humans had when they were aquatic creatures!
"The same is true for the previous paws and scales. In the process of our human evolution, a large number of eliminated genes have been sealed up, and this adaptive evolution gene has repaired them and used them!"
"Do you know what an amazing discovery this is! Do you know what it means?" The researcher raised his hands frantically on his face ~EbookFREE.me~ What does it mean? "Tang Shizhe frowned.
"It means that if we transplant this gene into everyone's body, then we humans can quickly adapt to the environment of various planets! It means that the number of planets we can colonize becomes more!"
"Some planets that have not yet been completely geospatialized, we humans can also live on them freely and unrestricted! This will be revolutionary progress for the entire human civilization! It will greatly accelerate the expansion of our federation!" Researcher Sparks seem to burst into his eyes.
"What you mean is that if this gene can be transplanted into other people, then we can survive on planets in various harsh environments without the need to completely transform this planet!" Tang Shizhe's eyes lit up. With this ability, not to mention anything else, Mars will soon be completely colonized and developed!
"On a planet with low oxygen content, we can evolve more efficient respiratory organs! On a planet full of water, we can evolve gills and fins! On a cold planet we can evolve thicker cortex and fat! Wait!" The researcher nodded.
