Blooming America

In terms of location and environment, the United States is indeed a good place.

There are fertile plains and luxuriant mountain forests, and even the desert here also reveals a romantic atmosphere.

It is no wonder that some people call the expansion of the United States a manifest destiny.

Although the United States has a population of hundreds of millions, this is a place where most areas are livable areas. The vast land has many environments with little human population.

When this six-legged monster quietly jumped into the jungle, the driver did not notice that something came into this land.

"Well……"

This monster walks on all fours, just like cats and dogs. It's just that this monster does not have a head, but has a strange mouthpart, and on both sides of the mouthpart, there are actually two hands.

The monster's body was pink, just like a human being.

"Roar--"

The monster just stayed quietly in the forest, but the appearance of the monster seemed to anger the original owner of this territory-a brown bear.

When the brown bear with its back to the monster saw the creature, it immediately let out a threatening roar.

"Roar! Roar!"

After discovering that the monster was unmoved, the brown bear became angry, and the other party immediately rushed towards the monster.

At this moment, the monster swiftly flashed to the side, moved away from its original position, and then slammed into the brown bear's body.

"Woo-"

The brown bear immediately uttered a mournful cry.

However, the grief of this brown bear only lasted for a few seconds before it disappeared completely. Because of the brown bear's side body, a piece was severely bitten off, and the heart was also torn to the ground.

At this time, the monster did not eat, but spat out the meat from his mouth.

But the monster didn't seem to intend to let go of the brown bear's corpse. It grabbed the brown bear with its hands on both sides of its mouthparts, and then leaped lightly. He came near a cave. The smell of the brown bear still remains in this cave, and this place is obviously the previous den of the brown bear.

The monster placed the corpse in the deepest part of the cave, and then its mouth surged. Green eggs were spit out from the monster's mouth, instead of being placed on the monster's body.

After doing all this, the monster did not rest, but suddenly opened its mouth wider.

"vomit--"

With a strange sound, a pair of thighs gradually emerged from the monster's mouthparts, followed by a body covered with mucus.

Catherine's spare body was quickly placed by the monster.

And until the spare body was spit out. The monster only started to eat the brown bear's carcass. After eating about one-third of the meat, the monster stopped.

The monster walked near Catherine's spare body. But this time, the monster did not swallow Catherine again, but placed it in the innermost part of the cave.

"The original quality..."

The monster made a sound of inexplicable meaning.

Afterwards, the monster looked around, not knowing what he was going to do.

At this moment, the monster suddenly noticed the lichen and moss at the entrance of the cave.

After thinking for two minutes, the monster walked over. Then, a long and big tongue suddenly came out from his mouthparts!

The monster stirred his tongue and wiped all the moss away at once.

Then, the monster got into the hole again. He didn't move anymore, as if something was brewing...

...

On the other hand, Catherine had just changed the second set of equipment at this time.

"The beta2 suit is a type of remote support, equipped with a large-caliber sniper gun, sniper rifle and sighting equipment. It can see things up to 30 kilometers away."

This outfit is a full set of black, looks cold and cool, Catherine likes it very much.

"really not bad."

Catherine wearing a helmet goes through the zoom system. She found that she could indeed fully expand her horizons.

It feels really good.

"Um... phone?"

At this moment, Jenny's phone rang. She answered the phone, but her expression didn't seem to be very good.

"Ok?"

Catherine looked at Jenny.

"Kate, I think our activities will be temporarily suspended. Our intelligence personnel have just brought something incredible from the East Valley Laboratory."

The situation seems not so good.

"Ok."

Anyway, there was still a chance. Catherine asked these people to take the things away first, and then she drove back to the laboratory with Jenny and Lisa.

After returning to the laboratory, Catherine discovered that the hive's intelligence officer had really got an incredible thing.

"Um... what is this?"

Something that looks like an oocyst.

This is something that the East Valley Laboratory spy just got.

"The eggs of the conch...probably," Jenny said.

"probably……?"

"On the surface, this is indeed the aquatic gastropod mollusk that produces free-floating oocysts." Jenny said.

And Catherine immediately noticed the important point: "On the surface?"

Indeed, these oocysts are just like alien eggs. To be honest, when Catherine saw these animals for the first time, she thought she had entered the plot of "Invasion".

"Well, this is indeed the growth pattern of sea snails... These sea snails lay their eggs in a huge liquid-filled sac. These liquids are rich in sugar and protein for the growth of new snails. Their reproduction period is generally September to October or April to June or so. These eggs are probably laid near the coastline. When I was studying artificial uterus, I had studied this thing. This thing should be easier to appear on the coast of Argentina. Japan. Words... sorry, I haven't heard of it yet."

"But in fact, this thing appeared in the East Valley Laboratory, which shows that the facts may not be as simple as we thought. I don't think they will eat and have nothing to do to study the conch. That name is called The person in charge of Sayero on the side of the mountain is a complete psychopath."

Catherine frowned when she looked at the green liquid-filled egg.

For some reason, she had an ominous premonition in her mind.

When I saw this egg, Catherine's ominous feeling appeared, but this feeling was not aimed at this place, but...far away in the United States.

"According to our intelligence personnel, this thing is an unfinished trial product. One of the prototypes is from the crab slave." Jenny looked at the report.

"Will it be bad?" Catherine asked.

"It's not clear, because the information is rather vague. But it can be seen that this thing seems to be used as an experimental subject, and it is not complete. The East Valley Laboratory seems to have two plans. On the one hand, it is preparing to develop biological weapons, on the other. On the one hand, it seems that I want to treat this device as a special purpose parasitic device... I have a bad feeling."

"I remember that crab slaves reproduce by controlling crabs?" Catherine thought of this.

"So, putting the words control and parasitic together, no matter what, it can't be reassuring."

What Jenny said really makes sense.

"Unfortunately, in order to prevent exposure, we only got processed dead eggs. There are no effective ingredients in this thing." She shook her head.

"Should I go there? Do you need special means?" Catherine asked.

"For the time being, let's wait and see, it's best to get the information through normal means." Jenny said: "I didn't expect the people in the East Valley Research Office to be so messy..."

"What incredible things did they do?" Catherine asked curiously: "Is it more exaggerated than causing this biochemical disaster?"

"It can't be said, but it is really a mistake to get them to get the repair protein. Their experiment is too messy."

Catherine took the report: "Um...remove the redundant protein, and cut the DNA expressing genetic information directly, and then form a new gene? Indeed, if there is no repair protein nearby as an auxiliary, this will be A very difficult thing."

Repair protein helps dna maintain a stable structure. This is useful when cutting DNA.

"Yes, but they are in the wrong direction...because there is no redundant protein at all."

All life on earth uses DNA (rna or protein for a few viruses) to store genetic information, and expresses DNA into protein to form cells. And then execute the various instructions of the living body.

The genetic code is a set of special instructions for translating DNA into protein. DNA is composed of four kinds of molecules (also called bases), usually represented by a, g, t, and c. The compilation of dna reads every three dna bases as an amino acid to form a protein. These three consecutive DNA bases are called "codons."

Of course, these are all high school biology content. This is common sense.

The key lies in the following:

Four DNA bases are used for permutation and combination, and the codon has a total of 4 to the 3rd power, that is, 64 different permutations.

——However, there are only 20 kinds of amino acids that make up protein.

According to experiments, it can be known that different codons will be translated into the same amino acid. For example, the four codons u, a, g will be translated into alanine. Scientists believe that these different codons will be translated into the same amino acid. It contains only repetitive information, which is called "redundant codons".

This is also the opinion of those in the Shiitake Mushroom Laboratory.

Therefore, they thought of streamlining dna.

"The Hive Lab used a new ribosome analysis technology to detect gene activity in living cells. In this test, the rate of protein synthesis is included." Jenny explained: "It is testing the rate of protein synthesis in bacteria. At the time, we found that even a slight change in the DNA sequence may have a huge impact on the speed of protein synthesis... Even a'silent mutation' (only changes a single DNA base but does not affect its synthetic amino acids). A seemingly insignificant change can also slow the rate of protein synthesis to one-tenth of its normal rate, or even slower."

"What does this show?" Catherine asked.

"It's very simple. This shows that the codons considered to be redundant in the past are obviously not simple repetitions. Although we don't know the specific mechanism yet, our research shows that nature will consider when selecting codons. When compiling amino acid products, it also considers the speed of compiling."

It's like saying "good morning" when you greet you. It's definitely easier to say than "today is a new day, we have met, I want to say hello to you".

"that……"

"The problem lies behind... the creature is behaving normally."

"Ok?"

Behaving normally?

Catherine immediately realized that there was something abnormal in it.

——At this time, there must be a problem with normality. Obviously abnormality should be the problem that should arise at this time!

"Yes, this is the problem. They obviously haven't studied the so-called redundant DNA, so they have not considered this problem at all."

However, the conclusion is that everything is normal.

"The people in the East Valley Laboratory probably don't even know what kind of experiments they are doing... Damn it."

Catherine understood.

"Yes, this shows that there are probably some very dangerous things in the East Valley Laboratory. But these people have obviously not noticed this..."

"Is it something similar to a protist?" Catherine asked.

"It's not clear. But based on our testing of the protists, this organism will produce a substance similar to the altered protein. At the same time, this protein in the protists will also feminize the organism, so we can't judge." The original body is worn on Yamamoto Naoki's body, which is convenient.

"In other words, it's not the same?"

"Well, the protists are more like beings born by coincidence. And the existence we see now makes me feel like...smart altered protein. As far as I know, only altered protein can accelerate The ability of protein synthesis speed."

Alternate protein translates DNA into a codon, and then repairs the body based on this codon and DNA. Alternate protein in many cases. Indeed it behaves as if it is a kind of life.

"In other words, is it possible that the creature we are facing has this ability to freely control the existence of life?"

"It seems so. And the egg we got...is that creature's."

"It's not an alien..." Catherine suddenly murmured.

"Alien? You mean that movie?"

Alien is an existence that can continuously adjust and evolve according to the host.

This is really similar to the mode of existence of this oocyte.

unfortunately. Since the last time a problem occurred in the East Valley Laboratory, their security measures have been strict. I don't know how much.

"Sure enough, I still want me to go?" Catherine looked at Jenny.

At this time, it seemed that I had to go to investigate.

"Yes, but how much information can you get by yourself?" Jenny seemed to have her own plan.

"I don't know. But I'm a half-professional person anyway, I should be able to find a way to get some of the laboratory materials-do you have any new ideas?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Queen bee." Jenny suddenly said such a word.

"Ok?"

"Kate, the alien you just mentioned reminded me. I suddenly thought of an idea. These people obviously intend to create something unreasonable. But these people are not aware of the meaning behind what they are doing. ...No, maybe someone realized it, but this crazy guy obviously has a very peculiar mentality about this experiment."

Indeed, Catherine did not believe that the Red Army would be able to get those viruses.

Among them, there must be a guy who fears that the world will not be chaotic.

Such a guy, the only thing Catherine could think of was the clown.

But Wesker's lover was brainwashed and turned into a cat. This guy is chasing me with the clown endlessly. It can't be this guy at all.

"But in other words, there is a strange psychopath in the East Valley Laboratory."

This is the truth.

"Yes. And my idea is... Maybe we can use this person's research. This document mentions the order of ants and bees many times. I think this person is definitely going to set up a'queen bee', and I think we can make a queen bee through control, even through ourselves."

This is really an interesting idea.

Uh……

This is really not the content of science fiction?

Catherine always felt that her eyes seemed to be full of sense of sight.

"Then what are you going to do?" Catherine asked.

"Of course it is to penetrate into their interior." Jenny looked at Catherine: "I think your Serena can come in handy at this time. I remember there is a way for Serena to completely simulate your existence. ..."

"In the Holy Grail, there is the'complete personality duplication' system that I researched here, but if I use this thing, I always feel weird..."

The "complete personality duplication system" is to read Catherine's brain state, and then write it into the electronic brain, and the electronic brain will fully present Catherine's current state. This is like the shadow avatar technique in Naruto.

However, because there is no source of thought of Catherine, it is necessary to let Serena perform the simulation. The maximum duration of this simulation is 5 hours. Unless constantly strengthened through neutrino communication ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but with this feeling, Catherine will always feel that it is not Serena that will be played at that time, but her own clone.

too weird.

"Well, in order to get the final information, you just wrong yourself, Kate. It's not you who did it yourself anyway."

Jenny patted Catherine on the shoulder.

"...It's up to you."

Catherine no longer wanted to discuss this issue.

The more we discuss such issues, Catherine always feels that in the end we will draw bad conclusions.

...

The second section of the main line will be connected soon. But the copycat Zerg pk is genuine...well, I don’t know why, I suddenly feel shameful...

Two-in-one chapter, there are more~ (to be continued...)
