Global Cataclysm: Start building Noah's Ark

Chapter 77 The secret of the strange fish!The supply ship signal appears!
"What important discovery?" Qin Bin asked.

Song Qingsheng took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Captain, it is about the research on strange fish. I have made important discoveries. Come over here, and I will demonstrate and report to you in person!"

When Qin Bin heard about the strange fish, his curiosity was immediately aroused.

As for why this strange fish appeared, everyone had speculated before. One was the genetic mutation of the carp caused by the environment, and the other was a new species that came from the ground, but it looked more like carp, or it was a fish that was a close relative of carp.

The specifics are still subject to Song Qingsheng's research before a preliminary conclusion can be drawn.

Now it seems that Song Qingsheng has really discovered something amazing!
"Okay, I'll go over now." Qin Bin got up immediately and said.

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

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

Faces can be copied, but pupil data is unique to each person, which can basically eliminate the possibility of sneaking in.

After Qin Bin brushed his face, the door opened and he officially entered the cruise ship. After passing through the deck, he went to the fourth floor, which was the biological laboratory.

Before entering the laboratory, they have to go through three disinfection procedures and put on fully enclosed protective clothing.

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

Qin Bin entered, and Song Qingsheng was already waiting inside. After seeing Qin Bin, he immediately said, "Captain, please come this way!"

Qin Bin nodded, and the two walked side by side, chatting while walking.

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

Song Qingsheng excitedly said: "Captain, didn't we speculate that these strange fishes were genetic mutations or new underground species? In fact, they are not!"

"Neither?!" Qin Bin was startled, and turned to look at him.

"If it's not, what else can it be?"

"It's a virus!"

Song Qingsheng said solemnly.

The two walked to the door of a laboratory at this time.

"Captain, let me demonstrate to you personally!"

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

Those things require a lot of parts, and the manufacturing center is currently running at full capacity and cannot be completed so quickly.

A sealed freezer contained the corpses of three strange fish, and their flesh slices and blood samples were on the operating table.

Everything is neatly organized and looks professional!
Song Qingsheng is indeed a biological scientist!
"Look, Captain, this is the meat of a strange fish. Their meat is different from ordinary fish and has a higher degree of fibrosis!" Song Qingsheng pointed at a piece of fish meat and said seriously.

When Qin Bin took a closer look, he could see the thick fibers with the naked eye, which was different from sea 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 containing blood.

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

"I'll call this virus the R virus for now!"

Qin Bin pondered for a moment, "You mean, the formation and appearance of these strange fish are all 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 the virus will produce a special substance, which will change the flesh and blood, stimulate potential and strength, but at the same time, it will also make the muscles more and more fibrous. change!"

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

"These three strange fish have different levels of fibrosis, and the hardness of their bodies is also different!"

"In addition to fibrosis of the body, it is very likely to change their external shape, making the body bigger and the teeth sharper. This is caused by the R virus constantly secreting certain substances and changing the growth genes of organisms!"

When Qin Bin heard this, he suddenly understood, "You mean that these strange fish are likely to be carp in the first place, but their appearance has been changed by the R virus?"

"That's right. After the DNA identification machine is produced, I can get their DNA sequence. If the sequence is roughly the same as a normal carp, this can be confirmed!" Song Qingsheng said solemnly.

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

Could it be that those crazy mice and those horrible zombie monsters in the previous life were all because of this virus?

Probably!

"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 likely to cause the extinction of the last surviving humans!
"Where there is a spear, there is a shield. It's just that there is a lot of equipment lacking, and it is impossible to carry out further research in this environment. At least it must meet the P4 standard of the biological laboratory to carry out more in-depth research!"

"Only by researching the sequence and characteristics of the R virus can we find a way to make a vaccine!"

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

"Get to an amazing conclusion!"

Song Qingsheng took a deep breath.

"What conclusion?" Qin Bin asked.

"The substance secreted by the virus wraps them and keeps them low-active at minus 30 degrees!"

"The temperature must be above 60 degrees to kill them!"

"That is, traditional pasteurization methods cannot kill them!"

"It can be confirmed 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 use this special substance to make the flesh and blood generate heat energy at low temperature, so they can survive continuously and rely on biological energy to continue to grow!"

As Song Qingsheng said, he turned on the infrared detector for two days and pointed it at the three strange fish in the freezer.

I saw that the outermost layer of the three monsters' bodies was the same dark blue as the surroundings, but the blue became lighter as they went inside, and the temperature of red was displayed in the middle of the monster fish!

Qin Bin couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene!
This freezer is a blast freezer, 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 substance produced by the virus!

Incredible!

Beyond Qin Bin's understanding of biological viruses!

The huge monster rats and zombies that erupted in the cold wave seen in the previous life are probably related to this!

This matter is of great importance, Qin Bin immediately said to Song Qingsheng: "I will ask them to replenish the equipment for you first, and you must research a method 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: "Don't worry, captain, I have set up three layers of insurance for the laboratory!"

"If I have better equipment and DNA testing equipment, I will be able to produce antibody serum. Having antibody serum may not be completely immune, but it can also maintain immunity for a long time!"

Seeing Song Qingsheng's confidence, Qin Bin felt at ease. It was an extremely correct decision to keep them!
"Okay, you have to hurry up on this matter, as soon as possible!" Qin Bin said solemnly, this matter is very important, and it 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, there is a signal from a material ship!"
