1703 1703 Controlling Mutation (1/2)

”Sometimes long, long ago ... actually not too long, when fungal infections occurred in the city.”

”You didn't try to roll on the ground, but tried to escape from the city screaming, but you didn't notice that a lot of dust had rolled in the air and they came to a place.”

...... The germ dust sank into the sea.

Maya has a lot of speculation about this series of situations ... it thinks the main process should be like this.

A dust that has not started to germinate will not die because of seawater, so they can be preserved in the seawater environment ...

For some reason, these bacterial dusts have gathered in one place ... that is where the trench is now.

There must be something in it, some living things or something else that transported these bacterial dust into the sea and transported it to the place where the waste was buried.

In fact, the waste was not originally buried there, but was directly thrown into the trench. At first, no people went down to dig the seabed to bury the waste.

But then I do n’t know how to bury it, but this is not the point ... The point is that after the dust has reached the sea, it began to grow there.

Close to the place where the waste is placed, the bacterial dust will be affected by the 'radiation' of the waste, and their cell nuclei start to change at a high speed.

The nucleus of fungi is not the same as that of normal organisms. Most of the information in them is ”encrypted” and quite complicated, but it will also be ”mutated” under various influences.

These mutations are random, and most of them are useless or harmful, but they are also beneficial.

Unlike ordinary organisms, fungi itself has a special ... system to solve this problem, and the dust that has produced various harmful mutations will be absorbed by other dust, after it is deemed harmful It will not grow.

The dust with favorable mutation will grow quickly.

Maya does n’t know how the fungus determines whether its various mutations are harmful or harmless to the current situation. Presumably this is ... they only knew it by themselves.

Because of this special system, they are basically not afraid of any virus, because the fungal cells infected by the virus will immediately stop functioning, and the virus cannot spread between them.

However, most of the viruses are directly absorbed by the fungus as food, and a few of them can infect the nucleus will encounter such a situation that cannot be spread. No virus has been found to harm the fungus.

This may be that there are more secrets in the complex structure of their original nucleus ... Maya guessed this, it seems that Lin has studied before, but did not discuss these with Maya.

Therefore, the fungus can use the waste material to quickly produce a lot of mutations, and then made a useful one.

In short, under the influence of waste materials, a special kind of dust is produced, which can secrete a layer of material like grease.

They seem to sacrifice the ability of high-speed transmission, but they can use these fats to filter out a lot of nutrients in seawater.

They cannot completely resist seawater, and they will not grow in seawater, but they will not die, but slowly secrete oil to cover the whole body.

Then, they can allow those highly infectious fungal species to live in the oil, so that they will not be affected by seawater.

From the beginning, these fungi are not ... very powerful.

Because they can't directly resist the sea water, and the growth rate is not very fast, although other bacterial dust can be 'inhabited', but other bacterial dust has nothing to do in the sea.
