Evolved From Polluting the World

Chapter 30: Effects of free source metals on gene expression in unnaturally awakened organisms

Xin Yu picked up a place with a good level, and Qiao Xun was very satisfied with this dinner.

The long-awaited orthodox Chinese food is much better than the one with some other flavors.

After the meal, the two took a break and drank some tea and chatted about something.

It was mainly Qiao Xun who learned from Xin Yu. Xin Yu has been in the "pollution and evolution" circle since she was 14 years old, going around and around, although according to her, she officially completed her awakening at the age of 21, much later than a real genius. .

But Qiao Xun felt that her strength was not just in the so-called innate ability.

Whether it is the sense of smell of the international situation or the direction of the new world, he has his own unique views.

Chatting with her can be said to be fruitful.

As for Xin Yu, her curiosity about Qiao Xun made her willing to answer all kinds of questions he raised without being too irritable. After all, she is a doctoral tutor, which is more or less mixed with the emotions of some teachers teaching students.

Enough to rest, Xin Yu took Qiao Xun to the hotel and the salute area, and hurried to the "new home".

Xin Yu's university is the Graduate School of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China, a place known to the public that has sent a lot of scientific research talents to the country. In her eyes, this is the first university in the Republic to fully build a research institute related to "pollution and evolution". Even Yandu University, which is responsible for the facade of the Republic, is after the completion of the pilot project of this university-related research institute. The construction of the special research institute has only begun.

At the end of January, Yandu is still relatively cold. It belongs to the state of exhaling and immediately smoky.

However, the cold could not cover up the prosperity and liveliness of this city.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xin Yu and Qiao Xun arrived at No. 19 Wangbai Road, Mujing District, which is the address of the National Research Institute.

The eight-character school motto of "Educational, dedicated, and virtuous" can be seen from a distance.

It was cold and not many people came in and out of the school gate at night.

"My house is in the neighborhood next to it."

Xin Yu drove more than 100 meters from the gate of the school, and arrived at a community with a slightly old appearance.

Bring your luggage and go up to the 8th floor.

Room 808 is the destination.

Xin Yu opened the door. There is no peculiar smell coming out, it is very clean, and the lighting is better.

It's not too big, but it's not too small. It looks like 90 square meters, so it's definitely not a problem for one or two people to live there. The decoration is minimalist, which is very in line with Xin Yu's character. She has never liked too much decoration. She follows a simple but decent route style. There are a few green plants on the small balcony.

"It's not cheap." Qiao Xun took a look.

Mainly because of the location, after all, next to top universities.

"I don't know, it was given by someone else." Xin Yu turned on the lights in each room one by one, and began to check the electrical appliances. He said, "I helped a retailer solve the problem of heart pollution before, so I sent it to my suite."

"The rich man's world..."

Qiao Xun thought that the person mainly wanted to get to know Xin Yu. After all, Xin Yu was a high-level national talent.

Xin Yu checked around and came down, smiled and said:

"All the household appliances are fine, so you can stay at ease. If you are obsessed with cleanliness, I'll call a housekeeper tomorrow to clean it up again."

"Farewell, you are so enthusiastic that I'm a little scared." Qiao Xun shrugged.

Xin Yu chuckled, "This is called the host's etiquette."

"It's not too much trouble for this trivial matter." Qiao Xun said, walked to the bedroom, looked inside, and then asked, "Did you live here before?"

"Um."

"Then my guest will sleep."

"dislike me?"

"Avoid suspicion."

"But no one avoids suspicion and specifically says that he avoids suspicion."

Qiao Xun felt inexplicably familiar. He walked to the guest bedroom again, and as soon as the door opened, he was shocked, because the decoration style of the guest bedroom was completely different. The whole wall facing the bed was covered with various game posters, and the computer table was also full of Game character figures. Even, there are a lot of game equipment, PS, consoles, gaming chairs, and other high-end peripherals.

"This…"

Xin Yu put his arms around his chest, leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "That was Xianyi's room before."

Qiao Xun closed the door silently, "House girls can't afford to offend."

He looked at Xin Yu and asked, "Xianyi lived with you before?"

"She gets into trouble with the family every three or five times. She comes to live with me every time, and after a long time, she doesn't leave." Xin Yu cheerfully shook off Lu Xianyi's embarrassment, "I was in school at that time. With students, she hides in her room and plays games all day long. She doesn't walk outside the door. She acts like a spoiled child when she educates her. The mission of the investigation has changed."

Qiao Xun sniffed, "She's almost the same on the sea train."

"As a house girl, the sense of security in your own small room is nowhere to be found."

"It's scary." Qiao Xun said, "I'd better live in the master bedroom."

He carried the storage backpack into the master bedroom. The clothes and other personal items inside were cleaned up.

"There's nothing strange about it," Xin Yu said.

Qiao Xun shook his head.

"That's good. I used to go around in the laboratory a lot, but I was afraid that it would come out with some strange smell."

After Qiao Xun put away his things, he walked out of the bedroom to the small balcony in the living room.

He looked at a few small green potted plants in deep thought, and after a while he said, "These things are a bit strange."

"I see." Xin Yu was a little disappointed, "I want to give you some small surprises."

Qiao Xun stretched out his finger to a pitcher plant, and when he was 10 centimeters away, the pitcher plant suddenly trembled, opened its **** mouth and slammed into it. Qiao Xun quickly retracted his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xin Yu:

"Are you sure it's not a fright?"

Xin Yu squatted down, stretched out his hand towards the pitcher plant, and started stroking it. The pitcher plant did not attack her, but rather enjoyed her touch.

"How could it be fright, look, how cute."

Qiao Xun looked at the mutant pitcher plant, which was no different from the piranha in Plants vs. Zombies, and fell into deep thought. Watching Xin Yu tease with a smile on his face.

he asks:

"Don't you think the piranha in Plants vs. Zombies is cute?"

"I think zombies are cuter."

Fear.

After Xin Yu calmed the pitcher plant, he pointed to Qiao Xun and said softly, "Come on, call me uncle."

"Brother!" Qiao Xun protested.

"If you're over twenty-two, you won't be considered a brother." Xin Yu glanced at him, "Similarly, if a woman is over twenty, she should be called auntie."

Qiao Xun's face collapsed, "I think I found the reason why Lu Xianyi called me Uncle Qiao."

"Um?"

"The child's growth environment is really important. You say so, Aunt Xin."

Xin Yu smiled happily, her curly red hair swaying like waves.

"Then according to you, come here, little one, call me brother."

Little One... actually has a name.

"It can really bark?" Qiao Xun asked suspiciously, looking at the Nepenthes like an imbecile.

The pitcher plant obviously didn't have eyes, but Qiao Xun felt that it was looking at him.

It looked at it for a while, then turned its head arrogantly. Obviously there is no expression, but Qiao Xun deeply felt the disdain.

Gan!

"What does it mean!" Qiao Xun clenched his fists.

Xin Yu was also a little embarrassed, "Maybe it's because he's afraid of life. Don't worry, don't worry, get along slowly."

To avoid embarrassment, she then introduced the three plants next to her.

A pot of orchid, with gold edging, looks very noble.

A pot of succulent, plump, with a head and arms, is beginning to take shape.

A thorn flower actually still contains buds this season.

"Little Er." That is, the orchid with the golden edge, Xin Yu said, "My name is brother."

Its leaves rustled, and then shrank in a structure that didn't match bluegrass.

Xin Yu was stunned for a while, then looked at Succulent Little San, "Little San..."

As soon as she called her name, Succulent simply squeezed her arms and head in, turning into a big green meat ball.

Qiao Xun is already numb.

Xin Yu coughed and said, "After all, it's a stranger. But it doesn't matter, Xiao Si is the most polite and the least afraid of life."

She looked at Little Four Thorns.

The thorn flower directly shook its leaves and hid the buds.

Xin Yu was embarrassed, stood up, sniffed, and looked out the window, "Maybe it's because it's too cold today, turn on the heater."

The way she tried to smooth things out made Qiao Xun a little uncomfortable.

However, he was not so stingy. He was more interested in the four plants themselves and asked:

"Where did these plants come from?"

Xin Yu's professional attitude immediately came up, and he explained carefully:

"It's all products from the lab I was in before. You know, the country has been looking for a way to stably control people's ability to awaken their innate ability. The technology has developed for so many years, and it's almost obvious, but in the experiment, there are only fungi and plants. It can achieve a very subtle awakening. The little one, two, three, and four are the first plants, which I raised."

"Didn't you move? They'll be fine?"

Xin Yu shook his head, "Awakening is too limited, barely reaching the pet level of cats and dogs, the complete genetic code has been parsed, and there is no possibility of continuing. I originally planned to destroy it, but I felt it was a pity, so I raised it myself. Get up. Cultivation, regular irrigation is enough, it's not complicated."

Qiao Xun looked at the four strange plants with his chin up, and said:

"Let's talk to them slowly after that."

Xin Yu smiled and said:

"Come on, I'll take you to the school to see."

Qiao Xun also wanted to see what the special research institute in the university was like, so he accepted it.

The two left the community and entered national scientific research.

It was just at the end of the evening class. The new generation full of vigor and vitality came out of the teaching building, chatting and laughing along the school road, discussing courses and talking about campus life.

Qiao Xun put his hands in his pockets, with a sullen face, "Looking at them, I always feel like I'm too old to look good."

Xin Yu smiled and said:

"Don't think too much. If you are enterprising, you will always be young."

They walked towards the depths of the campus along a road with few people.

The further you go inside, the fewer people there are.

After reaching a certain intersection, there is a second line of security.

Xin Yu swiped his ID card, and after registering, he walked in with Qiao Xun.

After walking 100 meters, there were gradually more people, but it was only more lively than deserted.

"The pollution concentration is so high." Qiao Xun glanced at his communication watch, which showed that the environmental pollution value reached an astonishing 1000p/m3.

Xin Yu said: "There are a lot of source metals, pollutants and polluting organisms in it. This is still strictly controlled. If there are no restraints, it is estimated that 10,000 would have to go."

"Such a big source of pollution, in a school with so many people, is it okay?"

"It's quite safe. There are three layers of protection, and the barrier field, filter field, and cleaning field are buried underground. You can't get out." Xin Yu pointed to the surrounding things like street lamps, "Those are all protective equipment."

"It's all high-tech. Small places probably don't have these."

"That's right. After all, resources are limited."

Walking inside, I saw two buildings, in the style of teaching buildings. There was a big sign on the load-bearing wall with the words "Huguang Research Institute" written on it.

"Lake Light..."

"The name commemorates an evolutionary sacrificed in our country, Li Huguang, a former talent pool Sequence 12 character who died in the North Pole."

"Will the existence of Sequence 12 also die?"

Xin Yu said softly, "Yes, in this era, anyone can die suddenly. We can only live one step at a time and live in the present."

She walked forward.

Qiao Xun thought, maybe she thought of something worth remembering.

After entering the Huguang Research Institute, and looking around, it is not much different from ordinary graduate schools, but the brand name hanging outside the laboratory in the room is very different.

"Cyanobacteria Pollution Treatment Room", "Explicit State Photolysis Room", "Synaptic Flower Subclass Pollution Separation Room", "Pollution Track Visualization Room"...

Without going in, just by looking at the name, Qiao Xun can deeply appreciate the integrity of the research system of this institute on "pollution and evolution".

He sighed that science is the last word.

What kind of god, what kind of god-chosen talent, he thought, if you have the ability, you have to be on the test bench.

In almost every room, there are research institutes wearing standard clothing.

Seeing these scenes, Qiao Xun suddenly became much more optimistic about the future of the Republic.

He thought, if it really doesn't involve secrets, the state should publicize it so that ordinary people know about these things, not to mention understanding, at least they have peace of mind and hope.

It is indeed easy to make people feel confused by hiding a word without saying a word.

Like a tour guide, Xin Yu patiently introduced Qiao Xun. she says:

"At present, the national task undertaken by this institute is to study the 'effect of free state source metals on the gene expression of unnaturally awakened organisms', which is a top priority."

"Free state source metal?"

"Well, a new concept. Under certain conditions, the source metal carrying the rune can be decomposed into a free state source metal and escape into the air. This source metal is more likely to cause pollution to living things. The various belts you see The laboratories with the names of biological species are all special laboratories. I was in the comprehensive laboratory at that time, that is, the research results of the special laboratories were aggregated for further research."

Xin Yu tried to use a simple description to tell Qiao Xun.

"Are the researchers here all evolutionaries?"

"No, more are ordinary people. However, they are all systematically cultivated, and the understanding of the evolutionary world does not need to be poor."

They are going to the second floor next.

As soon as he reached the corner, he suddenly heard a surprised shout: "Mr. Xin!"

A man and a woman ran down the second floor, both holding a large stack of documents.

Xin Yu smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Both of them wore their badges and ran to Xin Yu.

Xin Yu said, "Introduction, this is my friend Qiao Xun. These two are my former students, Zhang Xin and Bai Xi'er."

Just say hello.

The girl Bai Xier asked, "Mr. Xin, I haven't seen you in the research institute recently. Are you busy elsewhere?"

"Almost, I was in Shunan before."

"It's a pity, if I hadn't been able to get out now, I would definitely invite you to dinner." Bai Xi'er looked regretful.

Xin Yu said with a smile: "There will be opportunities in the future, and work is more important. Are you still studying the DNA-rune link process?"

"Um."

"how is the progress?"

"Plants can do it easily, but animals are not yet stable, but the results are predictable."

"That's good, thanks for your hard work."

"No, no, Teacher Xin works harder than us."

Xin Yu then asked in a low voice, "Did the dean come here recently?"

Bai Xi'er whispered, "No. I heard it's in Yanbei Third Hospital."

Xin Yu frowned, then smiled and said:

"Okay, then you guys are busy. I'll show him around and get in touch."

"Okay, bye Mr. Xin."

After saying goodbye to the two former students, Xin Yu frowned again.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xun asked.

"Yanbei Third Hospital. Do you know where it is?" Xin Yu looked a little irritable.

She asked herself, "The main gene melting pot base in our country." After being silent for a while, she said, "It's a sad place."

They moved forward slowly.

"Even the Republic, in the face of the tide of evolution, has to carry out some inhumane experiments. The gene melting pot project was proposed 25 years ago, aiming to force the contamination of the abilities of the evolvers in order to break through the limits of abilities. , release genetic variants. Repeatedly tempered, like a furnace, the plan is to make furnace products one by one, constantly processing against the expected model. There are finished products, semi-finished products, defective products, and... failed products."

Unconsciously, the two left the institute.

Looking at the foggy night sky, Xin Yu said:

"I, Xianyi, Ji Zhengzhi, Qi Boxue, and Zhuo Jun all came out of the gene melting pot project."

"Did you succeed?" Qiao Xun asked.

The protruding air quickly formed into a mist and lifted up. There are not many people on the road to the school.

"It can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. There are very few finished products, and a thousand people may not be able to produce one. But without exception, finished products are the precious existence of the country. I mentioned to you before that the 'annihilation of talent pool sequence 3' ' is the product of an advanced version of the grafting experiment in the evolution of the gene melting pot."

"The process is very painful."

"It's not very good." Xin Yu frowned. Even after so many years, she still didn't want to recall that feeling.

"The fate of the failed product..."

"It's just another monument to the talent pool."

Qiao Xun didn't say anything.

This kind of pain is something every country must go through.

"Just now when your student mentioned that the dean is in Yanbei Third Hospital, you seem to frown. Why?"

Xin Yu said: "President Wen Kaixuan has a very critical talent, 'supervision', which can be used to maintain stability and fill in gaps in the gene furnace forging process. If he takes action, it means that a key plan has been successful."

"Meaning, one more finished product?"

"Um."

It can be seen that Xin Yu's mood is very complicated.

She realized that she could not leave an unpleasant chat experience for Qiao Xun because of her emotions, so she quickly recovered, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said with a smile:

"That's not what we should be concerned about at the moment. Looking at the time, I should almost go to the doctor, and go to work after seeing the doctor."

"Why did you choose night shift?"

"I'm used to fighting at night, and working at night is more energetic."

Her working hours are from zero to four.

In fact, the organization didn't want her to work and let her recuperate. But she couldn't rest.

Qiao Xun asked with a smile:

"Why don't I look for the injury for you? You helped me so much, and you specially picked up such a treat for me. If you don't help me, I'm sorry."

Xin Yu joked: "Don't be polite to me, it's all a life-threatening friendship."

It is indeed fatal. Without Qiao Xun, they would have suffered a great disaster in the underground air-raid shelter of Broken Sea Mountain.

After getting in the car.

Qiao Xun said, "Give me your hand."

"Do you still practice Chinese medicine?"

"I'm not that powerful, it's just a coincidental talent."

Xin Yu handed over to Qiao Xun.

Her hands are quite small, but they don't match her mature and sassy temperament.

There are many small scars on it, which are inaccurate from a distance, and densely packed when seen from a distance. Most of them were left during the mission.

"Numerology follows the sky" attached to the nerves along her fingers and spread to the brain.

Qiao Xun closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

Xin Yu rolled down the car window and turned on the soundproof function to prevent him from being disturbed.

When Xin Yu's consciousness was touched, Numerology followed the sky quickly discovered an obvious flaw.

Feel the flaws.

The energy trajectory, as well as the indescribable special trajectory, began to interweave an unusual picture.
