1.1590 Plant biochemical hormone mutants
"Wow, sir, see what we found." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale sent the real-time image scanned by the drone group that cleaned the Dubai Tower to the watch's pop-up frame.
"This is..." Wu Chen saw a group of "human-shaped forests" that were tilted around, like a group of wood sculptures that frozen the moment the doomsday came.
"This is the Sky Restaurant on the 122nd floor of Dubai Tower." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale has asked the drone to repair the restaurant's surveillance system and repaired the surveillance image with advanced digital technology: "Sir, it's time to start."
As the freeze-framed picture begins to play, the last picture of the luxury restaurant is reproduced by the original scene.
This should be the complete fall of the country and the society has completely stopped after the outbreak of the biochemical virus. The transformed Dubai Tower has become the last shelter for celebrities in the Middle East. The large screen of the restaurant is scrolling on the terrorist attacks of corpses tides around the world, and the news announcement that the Red Queen suddenly inserted the antiviral agent that has been released that humans are about to be rescued.
Just as the survivors cheered, a terrifying mutation followed.
The camera kept approaching, and a noble lady was frightened to find a vine growing on her fingertips. Before she could exclaim, the vine spread her nails and grew wildly, climbing directly to the ceiling. Her carefully combed hair stood upright and quickly became wooded...
In just a short time, vines swarmed out from their eyes, mouth, ears, nose, climbed from all sides, and expanded sharply. The precious clothes on their bodies were split into pieces, directly turning the noble lady into a bloated tree man. The wooden body was struggling and stiffened in place. The camera was far away, and the entire restaurant was undergoing a drastic change.
In fact, humans really have a strange disease called "treat man disease". A skin disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). For example, a man with a sarcoma with branches and roots in his limbs like a tree trunk, so he is called "indian tree man". Research has found that this strange disease is the result of the combined action of human papillomavirus and a genetic disease.
The confrontation between T virus and antiviral agents caused genetic mutations in HPV-like viruses, turning survivors who were not infected with T viruses into bloated tree people. This transformation of the host life form has only one purpose: survival.
It is like a virus infected with humans that constantly reduces its own toxicity in order to spread on a large scale to achieve symbiosis.
"Didn't it mean that T virus and antiviral agents are only effective for infected people?" This was something that the castle queen "Raging Girl" Ferosa didn't expect: "How can she infect normal people?"
"Let the drone find the source of infection." Wu Chen thought of a possibility: "These people should be secondary infection after the T virus and antiviral agents are combined to induce gene mutations."
"Dun means that zombies can infect survivors after they turn into corpses."
"Yes, it's like the 'scattering day' of mold spores." Wu Chen nodded slightly.
"Finished." Thanks to the vertical path of the top-down Dubai Tower, the drone swarm quickly found the source of infection - a pile of nauseating "tumours" stuck to the wall.
After deeply scanning these nausea "tumours" and finding the answer. As Wu Chen's judgment, these were infected by the "plant mutant hormones" emitted when the corpse group blocked by reinforced concrete walls mutated into a zombie forest.
Generally speaking, phytohormone is a natural plant hormone or endogenous hormone. It refers to some trace amounts of organic compounds produced in the plant that can regulate (promote and inhibit) their own physiological processes. It is known that there are six major categories of hormones produced in the plant, namely auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene and rapeseed sterol. The concentration of normal-acting plant hormones is quite low, and even a slight deviation will bring about huge changes in growth conditions.
It is generally believed that plant hormones can promote the biosynthesis of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), which in turn leads to the synthesis of specific enzymes and achieves accurate control of biochemical reactions and physiological functions in the plant body. Many pathogens can synthesize substances that are the same or similar to plant growth regulators, seriously disrupting the normal physiological processes of host plants and inducing the production of various morphological lesions such as long-growth, dwarfing, deformity, leaf loss, across bud inhibition and root apical passivation. The growth regulators produced by pathogens mainly include auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid and ethylene. In addition, pathogens also cause lesions by affecting the normal function of the growth regulator system in the plant body.
"So, these corpse trees belong to the 'Phytohormone Mutant'." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale found theoretical support.
Plant hormone mutants can be divided into two categories: one is synthetic mutants, which affects one (or more than one) step in the process of hormone biosynthesis. The other is sensitive mutants, which preserve normal hormone levels in the body, but for some reason (such as the hindered hormone transportation in the body), the hormone cannot perform normal functions and affect hormone response. Various hormones have different mutants, providing the best means for studying plant hormone biosynthesis, degradation and physiological functions.
There are two types of methods for inducing gene mutations: natural mutation and artificial mutation. The latter include physical mutation (such as X-rays, gamma rays, etc.) and chemical factors (such as ethyl methylsulfonate, ethyleneimine, etc.).
"To be precise, it is the 'BPM plant biochemical hormone mutant' induced by T-Virus and antiviral agents." Wu Chen gave a brand new exclusive term.
"Oh my God, if the secondary infection continues until now, there will be no living people on the Green Star." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale feels that the plot in front of him may be in danger of time and space.
"Order the drone group to clear the Dubai Tower as soon as possible. We need to find more clues. We will resume the operation of the Dubai Tower later and recover the doomsday defense line." Wu Chen still proceeded steadily in an orderly manner: "Put the Dubai Tower as the 'isolation area' where we are about to intervene in the plot. In this process, we must ensure that the Oasis Sky Island is built first."
"Everyone listens to you, my lord." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale became more and more skillful in controlling it. Cultivating the human-machine coordination of the adventure team is self-evident for Wu Chen, who has the technology line of the third faction symbiosis.
To this day, the 0326 Star Cube Base has three technological lines that have just begun to appear:
The "Third Faction Symbiosis Transformers Technology Line" is gradually formed with the source energy staff of the "source energy secret master" as the core of technology,
Taking the MM micro-mechanical "5-star exclusive location: Cyber Electronic City Xingang City" as the core of technology, the "hexagonal dental machine deformation and shell technology line" gradually formed,
The "Dragon Blast Transformation Technology Line" is gradually formed with the "transformation magic" of "5-star Outpost: Snake Mountain".
According to Wu Chen's original idea, the beautiful girl mother team headed by Valkyrie, together with the fortress giant nested inside and outside, will be adapted to the third faction symbiosis warriors. Even the transformed template and multi-function watch have been booked in advance.
As long as the time is right and the human-machine coordinates to complete it, Wu Chen will open this hidden killer weapon without hesitation.
