The moon in full bloom

Once there was a big secret in front of you, but you didn't cherish it, and you didn't regret it until you lost it.

Faced with such a situation, Du Tangtang admitted that she was a little curious.

The high-end laboratories that have only been seen in movies, strange creatures and rows of test tubes, the yearning for the unknown is a common problem of human beings.

But just a little bit, she is not a meddlesome person in essence, so she still struggled with Mu Yi's words, hesitated and said, "You... won't violate the confidentiality of the contract?"

Mu Yi sneered, "Anyway, if I don't say it now, someone will say it the day after tomorrow."

At this time, she was completely like an ordinary person, she was not obsessed with the cold feeling of being academically unstained, and her whole body exuded anger. Although she was looking at the roof, Du Tangtang felt that if he was at the end of her line of sight, he would definitely Burned by that anger.

"To put it simply, we have obtained a special plant sample, which has not been recorded in the biological world. It is an unknown new algal organism. Because it has not been named yet, we will temporarily call it the experimental number DXUP08. No. 08 freshwater algae and general plants It's different, its cell membrane is outside, but the cell wall is inside, which is very strange." It would take too much time to elaborate on the research content, so Mu Yi tried to select the important content.

Du Tangtang sat down on the small chair that matched the writing desk, and said puzzledly, "What's so strange?"

"The cell wall plays a supporting role and maintains its shape. The cell membrane is responsible for the exchange of substances such as metabolism. This is common sense. All plants known so far have cell walls outside, isn't it strange?"

After a few seconds of silence, Du Tangtang lowered his head.This is really not common sense to her.

"And this kind of algae has a very strong vitality. No matter how harsh the environment is, it will only fall into a state of suspended animation. If the environment is suitable, it will still come alive."

Feign death hibernation?Although Du Tangtang agrees with Mu Yi's point of view, he is an uneducated person... but this word usually describes animals, right?

"In addition to the peculiar structure of No. 08 algae, it also shows strong heterotrophic characteristics." Mu Yi turned his head and saw that although Du Tangtang didn't ask her anything, he was already pulling out his phone to search for other professional words she said. Well, I simply explained in more straightforward words, "For example, plants such as pitcher plants can eat bugs, but they only obtain a small amount of trace elements by decomposing corpses with acid, and more nutrients are provided by soil and photosynthesis .”

"However, algae No. 08 can obtain nutrients by swallowing other organisms."

When she drew this conclusion, Du Tangtang was even more at a loss, his sharp eyes were a little confused: "... Heterotrophy means eating meat, right? If eating meat, shouldn't it be classified as animals?"

"The boundaries between animals and plants are clearly defined!" Mu Yi said loudly, "Of course you don't understand, for you, animals are the ones that move."

Very well, to be able to say arrogant and irritating things, to prove that she is not beyond the point of no cure.

Seeing that Du Tangtang shut up knowingly, Mu Yi happily enjoyed the sense of superiority in IQ for a while, and continued: "This kind of algae is tightly huddled by a single cell, and its appearance is spherical, but this shape is not fixed. It seems that there are Some kind of changing law, I just didn't discover it."

"It has all the structures that can carry out photosynthesis, but according to my observation so far, none of them. On the contrary, in an experiment, it showed a very strong animal nature."

Du Tangtang gradually listened very interestingly, and asked: "What experiment?"

The air conditioner made a small sound, accompaniment to Mu Yi's mocking tone, "There is something unknown that has been discovered. As a pharmacist, I must start from the medicinal and edible value. What I said is compulsory education in China. Category, why don’t you understand anything?”

Because even the compulsory education is perfunctory. In the words of the Du family's father, can studying make you rank in martial arts competitions?

"Well, I forgot all about it." Du Tangtang admitted generously.It is better to look down on her knowledge reserve than to be enraged in one's own world. Dr. Mu can only be looked up to by others arrogantly forever, instead of compromising with reality.

Anyway, you can't be like her.

Mu Yi lay down for a while, feeling bored, and when she got up again, her hair was a mess, she didn't care, and said to herself: "Since I started to study No. 08 algae, I have never seen it carry out photosynthesis, but the cell activity is only reduced, so I had to start to analyze its composition."

"However, it turned out that its composition was no different from ordinary algae. It wasn't until I fed algae to laboratory mice that I found out..."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment. Du Tangtang is usually calm, but once a puzzled expression appears on his face, he looks like a child. No, more precisely, it looks like an axiom discovered by the world for the first time. .

"What did you find?"

Mu Yi immediately came back to his senses, realizing that he was still depressed, but when he saw her just now, he didn't feel depressed at all, his behavior was too abnormal, "...I found that the algae hadn't been digested at all."

"..." Du Tangtang was silent.

What's so strange about this is that it can't be eaten.

"I changed the method and injected the cell solution directly into the body of the mice to observe the reaction." When Mu Yi recalled this, he still couldn't hide his shock. "All the injected mice returned to normal."

What do you mean?

In laboratories for medical research, the animals raised for experiments are definitely not healthy. They are often artificially infected with diseases and used for research on new drugs. It is precisely because of the sacrifice of countless small mice that human beings The medical industry can only advance.

Mu Yi didn't have much pity, and the little bit was dedicated to the little mouse.Although she couldn't bear it, she didn't show mercy when she started every day.

Two mice with pneumonia were injected with No. 08, and they recovered from the disease overnight. It can be seen from the monitoring of the mouse cage that their behavior has been normal and there is no abnormality.

Using the same reagent on other mice also got a result.

After the sick subjects were injected with algae cells, they were able to recover within a short period of time, including nerve damage, and without any side effects.

"This is a good thing. There will be new medicines produced." Du Tangtang felt that he understood the whole story, and began to express his opinions.If there is an improvement in the medical field, it will be of great benefit to Mu Yi, right?

Things are not that simple.

Mu Yi grabbed a pillow and hugged it in his arms, "Do you still remember why you were hired to protect me?"

Seeing Du Tangtang nodding, she said again: "... not long before that, all the test subjects died. Surveillance records show that they turned green under the skin before they died, and they decayed very quickly."

"This is the animality exhibited by the No. 08 algae. It uses nutrients to split at a high speed in the body of the experimental product, and the heat generated also accelerates the decay rate of the corpse."

Du Tangtang remembered something and immediately looked up at her.

I came here because of an accident with my former bodyguard, and that bodyguard died exactly the same as the isolated mouse in Mu Yi's laboratory.

No wonder.

No wonder Biton didn't even know who offended anyone, so he immediately judged that someone wanted to kill Mu Yi.The content of the experimental data is not only known to Mu Yi himself, but it is also top secret, but that strange death condition appeared on another person.

So, from a certain point of view, is the dead bodyguard a test product?

The more Du Tangtang thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Since then, the company has known that someone has leaked internal information. This is a very serious incident for Biton, who relies on the latest technology for profit, but no suspicious person has been found, so the research on DXUP08 is only Ivan and I. And hired you to do security defense."

It turned out to be the case.

Those things happened before he came here. Du Tangtang listened carefully, and a question came to his mind: "Since you and Yiwen are the only ones in charge, why should the company value you so much..."

Kick out the research project and then replace it?

Mu Yi pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and grabbed the pillow unconsciously, "Because we didn't discover the algae No. 08, but a sample brought back from Turkey by an adventurer, and it hasn't been recorded in the Biology Encyclopedia. He said that this type of algae can also emit light, but I haven't found any biological enzymes or other things that can emit light in the cells."

"On top of that, he gave samples to more than one medical company."

It was as if there was a thread connecting the scattered information in Du Tangtang's mind.

As far as Mu Yi knows, this sample was given to at least two medical companies of the Beton nature, a university, and three research institutes.

What the company means is that they must hold a press conference as soon as they discover the characteristics of this creature, and tell the pharmaceutical community that their company is conducting such research. Inside took the lead.

Although nature contributes to human health, they are, after all, for-profit companies.

"I disagree!" Mu Yi finally couldn't hold back his roar, "We know very little about No. 08. Under the surface that it can cure the disease immediately, there is a very dangerous truth!"

The mice used for the experiment were injected with reagents at different times, but died at the same time on the same day, and the new batch of test products is still normal, so the division of algae is uncontrollable and unpredictable.

Hastily released the results to the society, saying that it is possible to treat most of human diseases with a medicine. If no medicine is developed in the end, or a medicine with extremely low safety is obtained, it will be a disaster!

Although Mu Yi is indifferent by nature, he would never do such a thing for fame and fortune!

"During the few days you left, Yi Wen and I disagreed with the company's senior management and almost broke up." Mu Yi took a deep breath to calm down, not looking at Du Tangtang's expression, "His reaction was more intense than mine, and even destroyed The company made a backup of all the experimental data, and the most important part of the data is still in my mind."

"Bitton doesn't care about these things. The key is to release the results as soon as possible to win the top spot. As long as the samples are still there, they will always research the information they want."

"I think that in a short while, someone new will take over the experiment, and your job will no longer be to protect me, an abandoned child."

"I know that you want to make a name for yourself, but protecting me now will not achieve your goal."

Mu Yi's eyes drifted over, as if watching a joke.

For Biton, Mu Yi is no longer an important person, and they are only guarding against whether she will reveal the information in advance in a fit of anger.

Du Tangtang... was speechless.
