MTL - Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)-Chapter 156 Smuggled goods
Gina's voice is very pleasant.
The audio conversion through headphones is still charming and moving.
Meng Lei took a deep breath and nodded thoughtfully after listening to Gina's explanation.
It has to be said that the alliance's research on genetic modification technology has indeed achieved good results.
At the very least, in countless experimental cases, a perfect genetically modified person will inevitably be born.
At present, the biggest problem on this branch of the science and technology tree is that it is impossible to use effective means to identify the integrity of the genes contained in the genetic material itself.
Therefore, there is no more data to support the development of this technology.
To put it simply, it is the genetically modified substance itself that determines the injection results of the experimental target.
The theoretical direction and scientific research technology are not faulty. The root of the problem is only the genetic integrity of the genetic material.
For example, using a genetic material with 100% genetic integrity for genetic modification, even if the refining process is unstable, will lead to a decrease in the final refined genetic integrity.
But after all, there is a 100% complete gene chain as the base, and the success rate of transformation will remain above the safety line.
Instead, use a genetic material with less than 10 percent genetic integrity.
Because its genetic structure is inherently flawed, even if the refining process is very stable, the refined genes are still flawed.
For example, when building a building, if you cut corners when laying the foundation, the building will naturally not be built.
The current problem of the alliance is that it is impossible to judge whether the foundation of this tall building is firm or not, and it has nothing to do with the building structure and construction plan.
This problem can be regarded as a technical bottleneck for the alliance.
However, Meng Lei has no such confusion.
The special existence of the golden finger allows him to directly identify the genetic integrity of the unknown genetic material itself, and improve the quality of the genetically modified material itself.
He doesn't have to bet on odds like a gambler like the league does.
Even if there are a hundred copies of unknown genetic material mixed together, he can find gold in the garbage heap and easily select the one with the highest genetic integrity.
When is a perfect gene with 100% completeness found, and then try genetic modification to minimize the risk of mutation.
Of course, Gina has been away from the first sea area for a long time.
Her understanding of the Alliance's genetic modification technology is still at the initial stage.
During this period, whether the alliance has made new breakthroughs in this field of technology and whether it has found a method to identify the integrity of genes is unknown.
However, the answer to this question does not seem to be difficult to find.
Meng Lei moved his eyes, moved away from the container containing the unknown genetic material, and walked towards the two precision instruments deep in the cargo pile.
Gina has been looking at the two devices carefully since just now, constantly groping on them.
Seeing Meng Lei coming, she continued:
"This thing is the genetic research station used to refine the unknown genetic material. It's different from the one I've seen before, it seems to be more advanced, but the overall difference is not big, and the basic functions are the same. "
After a pause, she looked up at Meng Lei and said meaningfully:
"Dear little captain, this research on genetic modification technology is usually not seen. If the modification is successful, you will be transformed into a superman in the alien abyss. Would you like to try it and try your luck?"
Meng Lei waved his hands again and again when he heard the words, shook his head and said:
"The technology of this thing is not mature at all. You have the courage to try it. I don't want to become a monster that is neither human nor ghost!"
Gina chuckled and shrugged, neither refuting nor denying.
At this time, Meng Lei had come to the front of the two devices, looked around for a while, and finally said thoughtfully:
"For safety reasons, although we can't rashly apply this technology to ourselves, it's not impossible to try the function of this instrument..."
Based on the previous conjecture, Meng Lei tried to verify through practice whether there was any problem with his thinking.
If the alliance still has no substantial breakthrough in the field of genetic modification.
Then the role of the golden finger will undoubtedly be maximized.
In the future, in the process of development, he can slowly collect genetic material and select objects with perfect genes.
After the timing and technology are mature, a biochemical army will be created in an instant!
That efficiency is simply not comparable to the nature of the alliance gamblers.
The Alliance used 10,000 people to conduct the experiment, and the result may not be as high as the probability of his successful transformation with 100 people.
In the future, the scale of the fleet will become larger and larger, and a higher success rate will mean that more living forces can be preserved.
Under this situation, the meaning can be imagined.
At this time, with Meng Lei's voice falling.
Both Simon and Hans had understood what he meant, so they quickly took over a wire and powered up one of the devices.
At the same time, when Meng Lei focused on that device.
Goldfinger also gave a corresponding introduction.
(Gene Research Station: It can be used to identify the properties and classification of unknown genetic material.
Inserting a special container containing unknown genetic material, and then with a special therapeutic element solution, the characteristics of the genetic material can be analyzed and refined and extracted.
Because the technology is not yet perfect, the instrument itself also has certain defects.
As a result, the refining process may experience instability that affects the integrity of the genetic material itself, leading to results that deviate from the quality of the material itself. )
"Sure enough, including refining equipment, the alliance's research in the field of genetic modification has not been able to achieve sufficient perfection."
After simply reading the system introduction, Meng Lei already had a general conclusion in his heart.
But he still intends to witness the refining process, and the resulting gene product, to deepen his understanding of the technology while satisfying his curiosity.
It is not difficult to imagine that this kind of biotechnology is bound to shine in the future.
The earlier the contact, the more advantages it can occupy and pave the way for future development.
A faint light appeared, and in the sound of Dandan's mechanical operation, the instrument was activated.
Meng Lei picked up the special container that had been opened on the ground and turned back again.
At this time, Gina stepped forward and took the container from him.
"Let me do it."
Gina said with a smile, taking the initiative and saying:
"This kind of instrument is very expensive, even more valuable than our Sea Locust. The key is that there is no place to repair it if it is broken, and the alliance will not allow this cutting-edge technology to flow out. It is better to be careful."
Meng Lei nodded noncommittally, and let her open the translucent glass cover on the surface of the instrument, and then gently inserted the genetic material container containing the Moluoke gene into the groove.
"Katha!"
The mechanically closed metal crash sounded, and the container filled with unknown liquid and genetic material slowly sank.
Then, the translucent glass cover closed automatically.
The instrument began to emit a slight roar, the internal refining structure began to operate, the dial on the surface of the device gradually changed, and various values rose one after another.
"The Guard is Here"
Among them, on a digital display on the right, a countdown appears.
"359:59"
The red numbers are in seconds, decreasing continuously, and the total time is as high as six hours!
"Is this thing so slow? It takes six hours to refine one genetic material?!"
Meng Lei looked up at Gina suspiciously, with suspicion in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that the whole process would take so long, it was too much delay.
"It's normal that the genetic material has a different structure and it takes different amounts of time."
Gina smiled and explained:
"The more powerful the alien creature, the more complex its genetic structure, and the higher the difficulty of refining. This genetic material is obviously from the large sea monster, and the refining time will of course be longer."
Speaking of this, Gina paused and added:
"However, it is much easier to identify the properties and classification of this genetic material than refining, and the results should be available soon."
Meng Lei nodded without saying much.
Several people stood beside the instrument and waited quietly for about five minutes.
Soon, a text introduction appeared on the display screen on the front of the instrument.
[Genetic characteristics: Change the structure of bones and muscles and improve the ability to fight.
Gene source: Moluoke or Mire Xunmenglong.
Genetic Integrity: Unknown. 】
The three lines of text respectively reflect the three identification attributes. The analysis results of the first two lines are quite reliable, which are similar to the tips given by Goldfinger.
Only the last row has information on gene integrity, showing no clear data.
Obviously, the alliance has included this attribute in the scope of the identification results, but technically it has not been able to show it concretely, which is similar to the situation introduced by Gina.
"It seems that over the years, the alliance's research on this technology has not made much progress. The technical bottleneck is not so easy to break through."
Meng Lei pondered to himself, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
This result is undoubtedly good news for him, at least the advantages of Goldfinger are reflected.
In the field of genetic modification, he can take a lot less detours than the league.
While saving resources, it also greatly saves the loss of active force. The Heavy Sea Fleet itself is in the development stage, and the number of members has always been difficult to obtain a relatively large increase.
If too much manpower is wasted because of genetic modification, then some of the gains outweigh the losses.
The key is that everyone is Blue Star compatriots, and he can't bear to turn into genetically mutated monsters.
"Captain, what are we going to do with the equipment and genetic material? Is it going to be put here or transferred to another ship?"
After learning the preciousness of this batch of equipment, Simon expressed some concerns that it would not be safe enough to put on this cargo ship.
After all, the ship was too severely eroded by the thalamus, and many electrical systems were severely damaged.
Even if it is finally able to start after repair, it may not be safe to go on the road, and no one can guarantee it.
Meng Lei thought about it for a while, and finally decided that it would be better not to touch this batch of equipment.
Whether the cargo ship can go on the road normally is another matter. Now that the equipment is running, he is still looking forward to letting Goldfinger identify the final refined product.
"Compared to equipment safety, I think you should consider the source of this batch of equipment and the destination to which they will eventually arrive!"
At this moment, Gina spoke softly, and there was a very rare look of contemplation on her face.
"It's a little unusual for this batch of equipment to appear here. It stands to reason that if the alliance wants to transport scientific research equipment of this level, at least two F-class submarines must be escorted to ensure the safety on the way. Obviously, this transport ship Not carrying a frigate, which is somewhat unreasonable."
Looking around, looking at the various kinds of messy goods on the ground, Gina added:
"in addition,
If the Alliance had ordered the transportation, they would not have left such a precious instrument in the corner of the cabin at will.
Judging from the placement of these devices, the captain seems to have intentionally concealed their existence and did not want to be discovered by outsiders.
This is another doubt! "
After a pause, Gina narrowed her eyes and said thoughtfully:
"Perhaps, these two devices are smuggled goods secretly acquired by a certain organization..."
Hearing this, Meng Lei noticed this detail.
Just now, his attention was all attracted by the emergence of genetic modification technology, and he completely forgot about the weirdness of this batch of goods.
Hearing what Gina said, he was immediately puzzled and said:
"Smuggled goods? Dr. Gina, you mean, these equipments were obtained by the separatist organization from the Alliance Research Institute? But why do they want these things? After all, this technology is not perfect enough, even stealing it is not a big deal. Is it useful?"
Gina shook her head through the diving suit hood and whispered:
"It's not necessarily the work of a separatist organization, and there are places where the Painted Skin Sect can use this batch of equipment."
Seeing Meng Lei's eyes still full of doubts, Gina explained again:
"The Painted Skin Sect has always been committed to combining humans with painted skin parasites to achieve a perfect evolution that can adapt to the alien ocean environment!
After all, research in this area is also a topic in the field of genes, and they will naturally use instruments such as the genetic research station to help them realize their desire for symbiosis.
It's not impossible. "
Meng Lei nodded, remembering the introduction given by Goldfinger just now. It was mentioned in it that among the special abilities of genetic modification, it included the immunity of painted skin parasites.
It can be seen that Gina's judgment is not unreasonable.
In fact, the ownership and purpose of this batch of goods is not important to Meng Lei.
From the moment the entire ship was infected with the thalamic fungus, the ship, including this shipment, had become a wreck.
When Meng Lei came across it, it was his trophy, and it was impossible to spit it out.
But in connection with the current turbulent situation in the alien society, there are wars everywhere, and the forces of all parties are ready to move.
Find out the source of this batch of goods, UU read www. uukanshu.com can also help him understand the current situation more comprehensively and determine whether he is ready to make small moves in private.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Meng Lei turned around and said to Simon:
"Notify the members of the combat team, pay attention during the cleaning process, see if you can find the shipping list of this ship, check the source of this shipment, and notify me as soon as there is news!"
"Yes!"
Simon nodded heavily, then turned and left.
Meng Lei did not stop in the warehouse, and explained that Hans was optimistic about this batch of goods. After paying attention to safety protection, Meng Lei walked quickly to the bridge command room in the first floor area.
If it is smuggled goods, then this batch of goods is likely not to appear on the list, so as not to leave traces and be found.
So he was going to retrieve the ship's logbook to see if he could find some clues.
At the very least, first confirm where the ship's origin station is...
