Chapter 128: Experiment (1)
Translator: 549690339
Mr. Zhou once said that the experiment he was researching on was to extract the genes of specific organisms for improvement, synthesize special genes, and then inject them into the experimental organisms to achieve the purpose of genetic improvement.
The ultimate goal of this was naturally to further apply the technology to humans after it matured.
As Mr. Zhou had said, this research was to help humans break through their own shackles and evolve to a deeper level.
Based on what he said, song qingxiao could guess that the first direction of the research must be to strengthen the weakness of animals in one aspect and improve their abilities.
However, during the process of the experiment, there should have been a deviation in the research. Otherwise, if the experiment had been successful, Mr. Zhou would not have given up on this Island, which had been designated as the first experimental site.
If bats were part of the experiment, their reproductive ability was low, and their body size should not be so large. As Mr. Zhou had expected, their genes had mutated during the process of the experiment, and these two weaknesses were overcome.
In the process of mass reproduction and growth, they lost their most special instinct, which was the biggest feature of bats:Echolocation was a natural gift given by their creator. They could have used it to determine their target, search for food, avoid danger, detect distance, and communicate with sound pulses. However, this important talent was probably lost in the research, which was why the bats had crashed into the ship tonight.
Of course, this was just song qingxiao’s guess. It was just a thought that came to her mind when Mr. Zhou gave up on the experimental base.
However, she had some confidence in her own guess.
If things were as she thought, then the creator was fair. After all, Mr. Zhou was not a God, but a human. When he got something, he would always lose something. He was the balance and compensation of the natural food chain.
With that in mind, song qingxiao was suddenly sure that as long as the mutant creatures had a weakness, their chances of survival in this trial would be much higher.
While the trial space was a test for the trial-takers, life was hidden in the dead end.
In summary, it was not difficult to understand the reason why Mr. Zhou gave up this experimental base.
Take the bats as an example. After their genes were modified, they overcame the shortcomings of the bats ‘low reproductive ability and weak body size. The increase in their number and the expansion of their body size, as well as the strengthening of their claws, teeth, and wings, their individual and group combat power were far better than before, but they had lost their greatest talent.
To Mr. Zhou, such an experiment could not be considered a success. On the contrary, it was a failure.
The rain got heavier and heavier. There was a thunderclap in the air, followed by a bowl-thick bolt of lightning that lit up the sky. The rain fell even faster.
There were still a few bats in the air that were struggling not to fall into the water, but it seemed that they would not last long under the wash of the storm.
The thin wings were quite heavy in the water, and it seemed to be very difficult to flap them. With the help of the lightning that illuminated the sky, song Qing wiped the rain off his face and saw that the sea was densely packed with bats floating in the water.
Their strong vitality prevented them from dying quickly after falling into the water. Instead, they spread their wings and struggled, prolonging their pain.
The deck was full of bats crawling around, and some of Mr. Zhou’s bodyguards and hired workers were killing them with things.
There was still smoke on the boat, but the fire had been put out. The sound of the rain mixed with the rustling of crawling and smashing sounds came from the people trapped in the houses, shouting for help.
However, no one cared about their shouts at this time. After the scientists finished speaking, they were ready to grab another crawling mutant creature from the ground for gene extraction and research.
With the previous experience of being bitten, Mr. Zhou ordered several bodyguards to help. Each of them grabbed the wings of a wounded crawling mutant creature and pulled it open so that it could not turn around and bite the hand.
In the distance, the injured scientist was disinfecting the wound. The person who spoke to song Qing looked excited.
the existence of these living creatures will be very helpful to our research. Although they had discovered two types of mutated creatures yesterday, they had not managed to extract anything useful from the remains of the strange fish after being ravaged by the birds. Although the strange birds had left various impressions, feathers, and feces, they were not as valuable as the mutated creatures they had caught alive.
When he said this, the other scientists were a little excited. Even Mr. Zhou’s face showed joy. When everyone was cheering and dancing, song Qing and Xiao Leng asked,”
“What kind of help?”
In the past two days, she had performed outstandingly among the group of people.
When the ship was attacked tonight, she was also the first to speak up and say that she wanted to go out of the cabin to kill the bats. She and the other trial-takers had the greatest credit for preventing the ship from turning over in the end.
Song qingxiao was still holding an umbrella for the scientist, while she was standing in the rain. Her body was stained with the blood of the mutant creatures and the fragments of their bodies. After being washed away by the rain, the water mixed with the blood and flowed down. The place where she was standing was now a dark red.
It was hard to imagine that she would ask such a question that everyone knew.
After song qingxiao asked this question, the excited scientist under the umbrella paused for a moment. He looked at her awkwardly, obviously thinking about how to phrase his next words.
In contrast to the scientist’s dilemma, young man number six couldn’t help laughing.
“What help? Didn’t you help me much?” He asked song qingxiao in return,” we can confirm whether they are bats or not, and we can also find out where their genes have changed. This will allow us to better understand their structure and activities when we get on the island, avoid danger, and kill these things better to save our lives.
The scientist pushed his glasses and didn’t say anything, but it was clear from his expression that he agreed with number six.
The other participants had similar thoughts as number six, but no one said anything because of song qingxiao’s previous performance.
Song qingxiao laughed as the young man number six finished his words. The rain was dripping down from the top of her head, and some of her short hair stuck firmly to her cheeks. Light red blood flowed down her cheeks, gathered at her chin, and flowed down to her neck.
“If it’s such a research, I’m afraid there’s no need.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone subconsciously stared at her. Song qingxiao looked up at the sky. There were a few bats struggling in the sky, trying to get closer to the ship. On the top of the ship, the smoke had just risen a little before it was blown away by the wind.
“Didn’t you notice that the ship’s speed isn’t any slower than before?”
Although the storm managed to put out the fire on the ship in time, saving everyone from the terrible danger of dying in the sea of fire, the ship accelerated with the wind.
The waves came one after another, and the boat swayed left and right on the waves. The people on the deck had to try their best to stand firm, and the bats that fell from the ground rolled here and there.
“Number seven asked a very good question.”
Under everyone’s gazes, song qingxiao turned to look at number seven, who had returned to his human form. She did not expect the topic to suddenly fall on her and was stunned for a moment.
However, song qingxiao was arguing with number six. No matter what happened between her and song qingxiao, number six was definitely her enemy. When she heard song qingxiao’s intention to humiliate number six, she played along.
“Oh? The question 1 asked?”
yes, you’ve asked why bats appear in the sea.
Song Qing looked down at the scientist under the umbrella. This poor man was not stupid. His IQwas surprisingly high, which was why he was qualified to be recruited by Mr. Zhou..
