Chapter 1516 Rebirth From a Drop of Blood?
Miao Xiaoyu projects the observation video of the virus on the large screen, and uses intelligent technology to automatically color it to make it more recognizable.
But Jiang Nanfeng couldn't read it, he only saw twisted chains and a few colored lumps. As for Miao Chenghua, he was even more incomprehensible.
Miao Xiaoyu asked the three of them to look at it for a while before explaining: "This is the virus we saw. Now it is the effect of a million times magnification.
Even Daluo Jinxian's primordial spirit is not enough for this vision, and scientific research equipment is needed. This virus, let's call it a virus, is composed of a complete double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid, and has its own transgenic enzyme protein.
You may not understand, but it doesn't matter, let's take it a little at a time.
Let me talk about viruses first. In nature, we have found three main virus structures. They are:
DNA virus, also called gene virus;
RNA virus, also called messenger virus;
Pure protein viruses, also called prions.
In addition, there are some pathogenic bacteria, etc., which are not within the scope of today's discussion. "
"Just talk about the three viruses mentioned above. But before talking about this virus, let's briefly talk about the normal cell structure of the human body. This is a rough schematic diagram.
This is the nucleus, inside is DNA, and outside is the nuclear membrane that wraps the nucleus. It is the basis of human body information.
The human body is composed of protein, which is the material basis.
But the nucleus cannot directly control the protein, the genetic material is stable, and there is a nuclear membrane barrier in the middle, so a messenger is needed, and the messenger is ribonucleic acid.
These three structures make up the most subtle basic structure of the human body. It's a bit like a national structure, an imperial capital, communications, and local governance. "
"Then let's talk about viruses. Three viruses, which happen to target three structures in the human body.
Among them, the most powerful outbreak and the highest fatality rate is the messenger virus; it is a bit like cutting off the information of the country's imperial capital and spreading wrong information, which eventually leads to chaos, collapse, and death of the entire country. When the cells that make up the human body die, the human body dies.
But this virus is relatively easy to control. As long as the infected population is isolated, the virus itself will "suicide itself" as the host dies.
Let’s talk about prions, which directly affect the basic structural proteins of the human body. But prions are rare, and we don't study many of them. Current research believes that this virus is the most difficult for the human body to recognize, and most prions have their own 'enzyme' function, which can directly convert proteins in the human body.
Simply using the country as a metaphor, that is, it rebelled from the grassroots.
The last is deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the central flowering and direct attack on Huanglong, starting from the most basic genes of the human body. But it is very difficult for this virus to break through the nuclear membrane.
Deoxyribonucleic acid virus is the highest level of the three virus species and is closest to the essence of life. Therefore, the lethality rate of gene virus is not high, and it often coexists with the host to realize its own reproduction and evolution. "
Miao Xiaoyu's explanation was simple, but with wonderful pictures and simple videos, it made it relatively easy for several people to understand the cell structure. They then observe their own skin with their souls, and they can see the general idea. Jinxian's primordial spirit can already see the general structure inside the cell.
Miao Xiaoyu waited for everyone to realize it, and continued to explain: "Under normal circumstances, the three viruses exist independently. And the gene chains of gene viruses are generally not very long. The longest gene virus in nature we observed before, Containing only about 8600 base pairs, it can encode more than eighty kinds of viral proteins.
But right now, the gene chain of this virus... has a length of more than 3 billion base pairs; it also has 17 kinds of prions, or it should be called 'prion type conversion enzyme'.
If you have no concept of 3 billion base pairs. Then I would say that there are about 3 billion base pairs in the human body!
But the genes in the human body are not a chain, but divided into 46 chromosomes, that is, divided into 46 relatively independent groups! "
When Jiang Nanfeng heard this, he frowned deeply and thoughtfully: "You mean, the gene of this virus is more complete than that of a human?"
"Yes!" Miao Xiaoyu nodded with the same dignified expression, "We have also studied human genes before, and we found that with the improvement of cultivation, the genes of the human body will continue to be activated and begin to fuse.
But after we studied the blood samples of Jinxian and Daluo Jinxian, we found that everyone's genes are completely different from ordinary people. The base pairs of the gene are still the same, but the structure of the gene has changed.
When a practitioner breaks through to the stage of returning to true nature, the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the body will no longer be scattered as in the past, but will be surrounded, like some kind of formation. When one breaks through the realm of pure yang, the paired chromosomes will break apart and become 46 individual chromosomes, forming a nearly perfect circle.
Because of this genetic change, the higher the practitioner's level of cultivation, the harder it is to conceive offspring.
When the state of stillness is empty, the chromosomes form a stable circle, which is initially stable; because it is difficult to separate the paternal and maternal genomes from the chromosomes, it is necessary to pay a huge price to break this ring structure if you want to conceive offspring.
In the Golden Immortal Realm, the chromosomes began to fuse back and forth. At this time, practitioners are more powerful, but it is also more difficult to conceive offspring.
Then enter Daluo Jinxian, because the flesh and blood body of the practitioner is strong enough, the genes will break through the restriction of chromosomes and exist alone in the nucleus. All genomes are concatenated back and forth to form a complete circle.
When we reached the quasi-sage stage, we heard such a phrase called "breaking the bridge of heaven and earth". After our research, we believe that the quasi-sage stage needs to be broken before it can be established. To break the gene circle, to form an open structure.
If the guess is correct, this is it! "
Saying that, Miao Xiaoyu pointed to the gene chain of the 'virus'.
Jiang Nanfeng's eyes became sharper, "You mean, this so-called virus...is very likely to be the cell structure of the quasi-sage?"
Miao Xiaoyu nodded and shook her head: "It's just a guess for the time being. No matter what the facts are, we can't make a decision now."
Jiang Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "Didn't Dayang Group study the blood and cell structure of Yaosheng?"
"It has been studied. But the genetic structure of practitioners is not just a simple structural change. The molecular structure of substances is also changing. As the energy level increases, the nucleus seems to be compressed.
For example, in the Realm of Guizhen, the distance between its molecules is only 20% of the distance between normal molecules.
The molecular distance of the Pure Yang Realm is only 20% of that of the Guizhen Realm, or even lower.
The distance between genes and molecules in the Void Realm is only about 20% of that in the Pure Yang Realm.
By the time of the Golden Immortal Realm, the distance between gene molecules is already close to the degenerate state.
Da Luo Jinxian's genes are denser and have begun to evolve into a neutron state. At this point, it is difficult to observe by normal means.
This change has also led to some peculiar characteristics of practitioners. For example, a drop of blood weighs several thousand catties.
As for the genetic status of the quasi-sage, we are still observing it. But still no progress. Most of the above are theoretical derivations. "
"Degenerate state...neutron state..." Jiang Nanfeng managed to find these scientific terms, and then he looked at the big screen of the 'virus', "The molecular distance of this gene is an ordinary molecular distance, right?"
"It was taken from the body of a case of Guizhen Realm. Its molecular distance is about 80% of the normal molecular distance. This is a patient with mild symptoms.
In addition, the laboratory is taking a sample from a patient with severe symptoms, and it will take a while. "
It was said that it would be a while, but another sample came in ten minutes, and the gene molecular distance of the virus was reduced to 56% of the normal molecular distance!
Seeing the data of these two groups, Jiang Nanfeng looked extremely ugly, "I have a horrible guess. The so-called virus this time may be the nucleus of the quasi-sage, but it is an inactivated nucleus that has lost energy.
Now, the nucleus is... revived!
Through parasitism, starting from ordinary practitioners, re-walk the road of "practice" step by step, and step by step to open, activate, and recover!
Could it be that the revival of the quasi-holy energy won't happen in the end? !
There used to be a saying that the strong can be reborn from a drop of blood. Could it be that they are quasi-sages? ! "
At the end, Jiang Nanfeng's complexion turned pale.
Miao Chenghua next to him, although he half-understood a lot of things, he understood the final conclusion: this time the virus is very likely to be the nucleus of the quasi-sage, but it has lost its energy.
Could it be that a realistic version of Rebirth from a Drop of Blood is currently being staged?
Sounds like a great horror story!
