Chapter 34, New Mimi Virus
(Many friends told me that the last chapter was very poisonous. Well, I accidentally became an old poison again. Look at my big move, I will dominate the world with poison)
In the campus of Yanhuang University, the cold wind blew down the yellow leaves on the trees, and a thick carpet was thrown on the ground. Wang Yun, who had just hugged Li Fu's arm, blushed and gently shrank back. When he thought of the scene just now, his whole face was red and hot.
"Thank you!"
Li Fu looked at Wang Yun and said very cherishingly. At the same time, seeing Wang Yun's red face, he couldn't help laughing.
"Still laughing."
Seeing where Li Fu was laughing, Wang Yun glared and said with anger.
"Ahem, I didn't expect that I, Li Fu, could have a girlfriend. This feeling is so happy."
Li Fu stopped laughing and said seriously.
"You are so beautiful. You want me to be your girlfriend like this. It's too cheap for you."
Wang Yun rolled his eyes at Li Fu.
"Ah! Just now someone admitted it in public, I must have heard it correctly."
"Just now I saw someone being despised like that, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I helped you."
"..."
Because of this incident, the relationship between Li Fu and Wang Yun has reached a new level. In the past, they just chatted on the phone, but now they occasionally go to the library to read books together, which can be regarded as slowly getting on the right track.
In the National Disease Control Biological Laboratory of China, Li Fu, wearing a white coat, carefully observed the virus samples in the glassware through an electron microscope.
"The virus of sample A12 has not changed at all, and it is not aggressive to other viruses. The experiment failed."
Li Fu shook his head and looked at the Gulpo virus under the microscope. It didn't hurt the other viruses around it. He had to announce the failure of sample A12.
Li Fu originally chose three huge viruses, Gulpo virus, Pandora virus, and Mimi virus, and planned to cultivate these three viruses into new viruses that can specifically devour HIV.
Each virus was induced to mutate using a special method, and many samples were formed. A is the number of the Gulpo virus, B is the number of the Pandora virus, and C is the number of the Mimi virus. At this time, Li Fu was observing these experimental samples.
"Sample A13 also failed, and no mutation occurred at all."
"..."
"Sample B23 also failed, and the Pandora virus did not change at all."
"Is it because my method of mutating the virus is wrong? All samples of the Gulpo virus and Pandora virus have not changed at all, and all experiments can be declared failures."
Li Fu stopped the work in his hands, thinking and summarizing his experiments in his mind, reflecting on whether there was anything wrong in the experiment. Although only two of the three viruses have been observed, neither of these two viruses has mutated, which makes Li Fu feel a little discouraged.
You must know that the key to Li Fu's idea is to first cultivate a new virus with phagocytic ability, and then use special methods to make the new virus only devour HIV. In this way, it is hoped that a new virus that can treat AIDS can be cultivated.
But now, it is only the first step to cultivate these large viruses into viruses with phagocytic ability, which has stumped Li Fu. This is like making the original herbivorous animals mutate into something that can eat meat. This is definitely not an easy thing. Generally, it takes countless years of natural evolution to slowly evolve.
Because herbivores and carnivores are completely different species, cattle and sheep cannot eat meat, and tigers and lions cannot eat grass, because their consumption systems, evolved survival genes, etc. are completely different. Tigers' teeth are only suitable for biting meat and cannot eat grass at all. Cattle and sheep's teeth are also used to eat grass and cannot chew meat.
This is the most difficult problem Li Fu faces. The viruses selected by Li Fu are not aggressive to other viruses. They are "vegetarians". Now Li Fu wants to make these viruses become meat-eating carnivores, which is as difficult as asking cattle and sheep to eat meat.
However, nothing is absolute. The magic of biology is that even two animals with huge differences may have ancestors from the same species. It is just that in the long history of evolution, due to the influence of their respective ecological environments, these animals have evolved to adapt to nature and gradually become completely different.
You should know that according to the inference of modern scientists on the history of biological evolution on Earth, all animals on Earth have evolved slowly from animals in the ocean, that is to say, all animals on Earth, whether flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, or drilling in the soil, carnivorous or herbivorous, are likely to come from the same ancestor.
However, after a long time, even if they come from the same ancestor, all animals have long been completely different. This is the magic of biology and the source of Li Fu's confidence.
Viruses are also a kind of organism. Since they are organisms, they have all kinds of biological characteristics. The characteristics of biological evolution will never disappear at any time. As long as the appropriate method is used to continuously induce mutations and cause these viruses to mutate, Li Fu believes that he will be able to cultivate the new virus he wants.
"Virus sample C7 failed, no signs of mutation or evolution."
Another sample was declared a failure. Li Fu continued to pick up the next virus sample without stopping to observe it. Under the electron microscope, these small things that cannot be seen by the naked eye are living comfortably at this time.
C8 virus sample, Li Fu finally saw a scene that excited him. The huge Mimi virus was actually swallowing the virus next to it. The virus next to it was very small, only a few dozen nanometers, and there were all kinds of viruses. Next to the Mimi virus with a volume of 800 nanometers, it was like a little rabbit compared to a tiger. It had no resistance at all and was swallowed into its stomach little by little by the Mimi virus using tentacles.
"Haha, Xiaoying, did you see that? We really succeeded in mutagenesis."
In his mind, Li Fu was very excited. This was definitely a major breakthrough in the history of biology. Li Fu actually cultivated the Mimi virus, which was not a virus at all, into an aggressive virus.
"Master, this is normal. The mutagenesis methods you used are all new methods, which are often used by biological scientists in the universe. I originally estimated that all three viruses should be able to be successfully mutated, but I didn't expect that only the Mimi virus was successfully mutated. It seems that you must have made some mistakes in your operation."
In his mind, Xiaoying looked as if it was a matter of course. The methods used by Li Fu were all learned from the methods taught in the seeds of civilization, and some of them required the use of Yuanli. Because according to Xiaoying, Yuanli is the origin of the birth of cosmic creatures. Using Yuanli to mutate creatures is the best, fastest and most effective method. As for those methods such as radiation mutagenesis, chemical mutagenesis, optical mutagenesis, etc., they are not as direct, effective and fast as this one. In order to get results as soon as possible, Li Fu naturally chose to take a shortcut and use Yuanli mutagenesis.
"Well, this, it's not that my Yuanli cultivation is still very shallow, so it's understandable that I don't control it properly."
Li Fu was a little embarrassed when Xiaoying said that. Although he has been practicing Yuanli for the past few months, most of the Yuanli has been used to improve his body, and only a small amount of Yuanli has been stored. Li Fu is operating in a place like a laboratory, so he must be careful, for fear of being discovered, and it is normal to make mistakes.
"Let me see what the difference is between the new Mimi virus and the original Mimi virus."
Li Fu was in a good mood at this time. The frustration of the previous experiment failed instantly disappeared. The whole person seemed to be injected with hormones, and immediately began to get busy excitedly.
Under the electron microscope, the new Mimi virus is also huge in size, reaching a large size of 800 nanometers. It doesn't look much different from the original Mimi virus, but after careful observation for a while, Li Fu soon discovered the difference.
Compared with the original Mimi virus, the new Mimi virus actually has more tentacles. These newly evolved tentacles are the reason why the new Mimi virus can devour other viruses. It uses these tentacles to explore the world around it. Once it touches other viruses, it will wrap around them and then start to devour them.
Because of its huge size, ordinary viruses are only tens of nanometers or even a few nanometers in size. The new Mimi virus devours them very easily, just like Zhang Fei eating beans or tigers eating rabbits. It's a piece of cake.
"Well, it's time to think of a new name for it. This is already a new virus. It can't be called Mimi virus anymore. What should I call it?"
Li Fu touched his chin and thought carefully in his mind. Generally speaking, scientists will think of a name for a new virus they discover. Many foreign scientists like to name it after themselves. Think about what Newton's law, ampere (current intensity), volt (voltage), joule (unit of work, energy, heat), etc. are familiar to everyone. There are too many of them.
So when you study science, you often find out why there are no units or laws named after Chinese scientists, but there are a lot of foreign scientists.
"Li Fu virus? That's not good. I'll have another nickname in the future."
"No, no!"
Li Fu wanted to learn from his predecessors in the scientific community, but when he thought of the scene after the combination, he couldn't help shaking his head.
"I got it, just call it rice virus!"
