Four Hundred Fifty-Seven Hibernins

Beidu simply signed an agreement with these countries to exchange its domestic resources for queen ants, a large number of queen ants, and follow-up technical guidance. It even promised these countries that they could capture a batch of giant ants from China and send them over.

Relevant countries also readily agreed to Beidu's request, and Beidu obtained many resources from all over the world without any effort.

Although it is necessary to defeat the giant worms in order to truly possess these resources, Beidu did not pay any price at first. If human beings were to end in the hands of giant worms, then everything would be out of the question. On the other hand, if humans defeated the giant worms, Beidu would make a lot of money.

Essentially speaking, what was carried out in Beidu was a blatant robbery, but one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, so no one should blame anyone.

There are many countries that need giant ants, but there are also many countries that have giant ants. These countries can choose the United States, Britain, France, Russia and other countries.

It's a pity that these countries have obtained giant Chinese ants for too short a time, and have not yet cultivated a real ant colony. However, China has a super ant colony occupying Beibang and Linzhou, which can provide a large number of giant ants. This is what any country can do. An advantage that cannot be caught up.

Beidu is also very clear that after this period of time, the giant Chinese ants that have spread in an all-round way will become worthless, so it is better to collect some interest while still harvesting some resources.

Beidu, Zhongnanhai.

Xu Jiaye knocked on Brother Yi's office and said excitedly, "Chief, good news, good news!"

"Oh? What good news?" Brother Yi showed an interested look, "I haven't heard good news for a long time."

"It's really good news this time!" Xu Jiaye said, "The research on boxing ants has made progress!"

"What progress?" Brother Yi remained calm.

There are dozens of key experiments in the laboratory at the same time, at least a hundred of less important experiments, and hundreds of researches on the habits of giant insects.

There are at least thirty or so experiments related to boxing ants, and the results of each key research can be said to be breakthroughs, and there is really nothing to be excited about.

Xu Jiaye quickly said: "It's like this. The laboratory used the puffed virus extracted from the insect tree to infect the boxer ants, and the boxer ants underwent more obvious mutations. Professor Qin's research team isolated a substance from the saliva of the mutant boxer ants, and successfully Anesthetized the mouse!"

Brother Yi's eyes lit up: "You mean, the culprit who caused the anesthesia has been found?"

"Not only was it found, but it was also separated!" Xu Jiaye corrected, "Professor Qin is going to name this thing hibernation."

Brother Yi was rarely happy: "Tell me in detail, what's going on!"

"It was an accident!" Xu Jiaye said, "In fact, the hibernin has always been in the mouth of the boxing ant, but we have never found it."

"How come?" The first brother frowned slightly. If Xu Jiaye couldn't say anything, he had to investigate whether it was the negligence of the researchers that caused the experiment to drag on for so long.

Xu Jiaye understood Brother Yi's meaning at a glance, and immediately explained: "Don't worry, chief, no one is dereliction of duty. That's the case. We haven't figured out where the hibernin is. Some time ago, the laboratory used insect trees The virus extracted from here infects boxer ants and is going to study the variation of boxer ants. The research team extracted the saliva of the mutant boxer ants and found that the saliva of a mutant boxer ant is different."

Brother Yi frowned slightly: "What's the difference?"

Xu Jiaye explained: "The saliva of ants contains formic acid, but this ant has lost the ability to secrete formic acid due to a genetic mutation. It is in this ant's saliva that hibernin is isolated."

The first brother immediately realized the meaning of Xu Jiaye's words: "You mean, you have never discovered that hibernin and formic acid are related?"

"Yes, that's it!" Xu Jiaye said, "Every boxer ant can secrete hibernin, but hibernin will be decomposed by formic acid, and it can only work if it is directly injected into the animal body. This is the main reason why the laboratory has not made a breakthrough. reason."

"So, how did the boxer ant inject hibernin into the animal's body?" Brother Yi asked curiously.

"It's not clear yet.

" Xu Jiaye said.

"What about the effect of hibernation?"

"The effect is very good. After injection, all 20 mice entered a hibernation state, but the safe dosage still needs further experiments."

The first brother took a deep breath, took out a cigarette and put it between his lips: "Hiberin has been researched, but it's too late."

"Yes, it's late." Xu Jiaye echoed.

The rescue operation took place more than half a year ago. Most of the victims who were rescued at that time were injured by long-term rest. Although the state arranged manpower for treatment, the metabolism of the victims was very slow. The speed of onset is also surprisingly slow. Even a simple scratch can take months or even years to heal.

A large number of victims are difficult to recover, and two-thirds of them have died in the past six months, and the remaining one-third are also in very bad condition.

You must know that the laboratory has only found hibernin, not a way to deal with hibernin, and it is possible to rescue the victim only after finding a way to relieve the effect of hibernating.

Thinking of this, the first brother suddenly raised his head and said, "Xiao Xu, I have a task for you."

"Yes!" Xu Jiaye hurriedly pulled himself together and listened carefully, not daring to miss a single word.

The first brother lowered his voice subconsciously: "You go back and inform Professor Qin...inform him individually, just say it's my intention, let him study how to use hibernin safely."

"Chief, what do you mean, it has been in hibernation for a long time but there are no problems?" Xu Jiaye asked.

"It can also be the longest period of hibernation." The first brother said and emphasized, "This task is very important, understand?"

"I don't really understand." Xu Jiaye said frankly.

"You also know that there is a shortage of food now. If you can use a large amount of hibernin...you can reduce a large number of people." The first brother closed his mouth and looked at Xu Jiaye with piercing eyes.

Xu Jiaye was startled, nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"

"It's good to understand, take a long-term view, don't always think about starting from hibernation, but also study and understand why people who use hibernation will damage their health, conduct targeted research, and also study how to prolong safe hibernation period, such as applied instruments and equipment or the external environment.”

"I understand!" Xu Jiaye nodded heavily, "I heard from Professor Qin that the hibernation problem is caused by long-term rest and slow blood flow, which not only affects immunity, but also accumulates under the body due to gravity, there should be a solution. "

"I understand!" Xu Jiaye nodded heavily, "I heard from Professor Qin that the hibernation problem is caused by long-term rest and slow blood flow, which not only affects immunity, but also accumulates under the body due to gravity, there should be a solution. "
