Global Catastrophic Disaster: Start Building Noah's Ark

Chapter 77 The Secret of the Strange Fish! The signal of the supply ship appears!

"What major discovery?" Qin Bin asked.

Song Qingsheng took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. "Captain, there is research on strange fish. I have a major discovery. Come over and I will demonstrate and report to you in person!"

Qin Bin's curiosity was immediately aroused when he heard that it was about strange fish.

As for why this strange fish appeared, everyone had speculated before. One is the genetic mutation of carp caused by the environment, and the other is a new species from underground, which just looks more like carp, or is a fish closely related to carp.

What exactly is it, it still needs to be studied by Song Qingsheng before there can be a preliminary conclusion.

Now it seems that Song Qingsheng has really discovered something remarkable!

"Okay, I'll go over now." Qin Bin immediately stood up and said.

After leaving the control center, Qin Bin went to the scientific research cruise ship.

The cruise ship has been changed to a fully enclosed type. There are only two entrances on the deck, one for exit and one for entry, and the entrances have advanced access control systems, and face and pupil verification are required to enter.

The face can be copied, but the pupil data is unique to each person, which basically eliminates the possibility of infiltration.

After Qin Bin scanned his face, the door opened and he officially entered the cruise ship, passing through the deck and then the fourth floor, which is the biological laboratory.

Before entering the laboratory, you must go through three disinfection procedures and put on a fully enclosed protective suit.

This biological laboratory not only has a strict environment, but also has an independent ventilation and air purification system, which has reached the P2 standard of domestic biological laboratories!

When Qin Bin entered, Song Qingsheng was already waiting inside. After seeing Qin Bin, he immediately said: "Captain, please come here!"

Qin Bin nodded, and the two walked side by side, chatting as they walked.

"Tell me, what major discovery made you so excited?" Qin Bin asked with a smile.

Song Qingsheng said excitedly: "Captain, didn't we guess that these strange fish were genetic mutations or new underground species before? In fact, none of them are!"

"None of them?!" Qin Bin was startled and turned his head to look at him.

"If none of them are, what else can it be?"

"It's a virus body!"

Song Qingsheng said solemnly.

The two walked to the door of a laboratory.

"Captain, I will demonstrate it to you in person!"

The two went in together. There were very few equipment inside, only a few microscopes, and they were all simple and single microscopes, not electron microscopes that could magnify tens of thousands of times.

Those things require a lot of parts, and the manufacturing center can't make them so quickly even if it is running at full capacity now.

There are three bodies of strange fish in a sealed freezer, and their flesh slices and blood samples are on the operating table.

All the objects are neatly arranged and look quite professional!

Song Qingsheng is worthy of being a biological scientist!

"Captain, please look, this is the meat of strange fish. Their meat is different from ordinary fish meat, and the degree of fibrosis is higher!" Song Qingsheng pointed to a piece of fish meat and said seriously.

Qin Bin took a closer look and could see the coarse fibers with the naked eye. It was different from marine fish, let alone carp.

"What's going on? Are they born like this?" Qin Bin asked.

"No, Captain, it's because they have an unknown virus in their bodies, which leads to the appearance of fibrosis!" Song Qingsheng then picked up a glass jar filled with blood.

"There are some biological viruses in their blood that I have never discovered!"

"I will call this virus R virus for now!"

Qin Bin pondered for a moment, "You mean, the formation and appearance of these strange fish are related to this virus? Then what is the main function of this virus?"

Song Qingsheng said seriously: "Yes, according to my research, the parasitic reproduction of viruses will produce a special substance. This substance will change the flesh and blood, stimulate potential and strength, but at the same time, it will also make the muscles more fibrotic!"

"With the higher degree of fibrosis, the hardness of fish scales, fish skin, and fish meat will continue to increase!"

"The degree of fibrosis of these three strange fish is The degree of the fish is different, and the hardness of the body is also different! "

"In addition to making the body fibrotic, it is very likely to change their external form, making the body larger and the teeth sharper. This is caused by the R virus constantly secreting a certain substance and changing the growth gene of the organism!"

Qin Bin suddenly understood something when he heard this, "You mean these strange fish are very likely to be carp, but their appearance has changed because of the R virus?"

"Yes, after the DNA identification machine is manufactured, I can get their DNA sequence. If this sequence is roughly the same as that of normal carp, it can be confirmed!" Song Qingsheng said solemnly.

Hearing Song Qingsheng's words, Qin Bin's heart was shocked!

Could it be that those crazy rats and those terrible zombie monsters in the previous life were all caused by this virus?

It is very likely!

"What are the characteristics of this R virus? Is it possible to find a solution?" Qin Bin asked immediately. This is the most critical question!

This disaster is no less than a tsunami, and it is very likely to cause the extinction of the last surviving humans!

"Where there is a spear, there is a shield. However, many equipments are lacking now, and we cannot carry out the next step of research in this environment. At least we need to reach the P4 level standard of biological laboratories to carry out more in-depth research!"

"First, we need to study the sequence and characteristics of the R virus, and then we can find a way to make a vaccine!"

"However, I have not been idle these two days. I have tested the physical properties of the virus, such as its survival in hot and cold environments."

"Got an amazing conclusion!"

Song Qingsheng took a deep breath.

"What conclusion?" Qin Bin asked.

"The substance secreted by the virus wraps them up, allowing them to remain low-active at minus 30 degrees!"

"They can only be killed when the temperature reaches above 60 degrees!"

"That is, the traditional pasteurization method cannot kill them!"

"What can be confirmed at present is that they cannot survive for more than 10 seconds after leaving the carrier!"

"But if the R virus exists in the flesh and blood, they can actually use this special substance to make the flesh and blood generate heat energy at low temperatures, so they can continue to survive and continue to grow by relying on biological energy!"

Song Qingsheng said, turning on the two-day infrared detector and shining it on the three strange fish in the freezer.

The outermost layer of the three monsters' bodies is the same dark blue as the surroundings, but the blue becomes lighter as they go inside, and the temperature in the middle of the strange fish is actually red!

Qin Bin couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene!

This freezer is a quick-freeze freezer, and the temperature can reach minus 20 degrees!

But at such a low temperature, the three fish were not completely frozen, and they actually generated heat under the special substances produced by the virus!

It's incredible!

It's beyond Qin Bin's understanding of biological viruses!

The huge strange rats and zombies that broke out in the cold wave in the previous life are likely related to this!

This matter is of great importance, Qin Bin immediately said to Song Qingsheng: "I'll let them give you priority to replenish the equipment, you must study a way to resist this R virus as soon as possible!"

"Also, be careful, don't let them leak out from here!"

Song Qingsheng was overjoyed, and then nodded solemnly: "Captain, don't worry, I have set up three layers of insurance for the laboratory!"

"If the equipment is more complete and there are DNA testing instruments, I will have the conditions to produce antibody serum. Having antibody serum may not be completely immune, but it can also maintain immunity for a longer time!"

Qin Bin saw that Song Qingsheng was so confident, and he felt a little relieved. It was really the right decision to keep them at the beginning!

"Okay, you have to hurry up and do it as soon as possible!" Qin Bin said solemnly. This matter is very important and must be done before the outbreak of infection.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ai's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, a signal from a supply ship has appeared!"
