Chapter 1618 1.1617 The crisis continues and never ends
"Look, the leaves are opening." Alice 1049 zoomed in on the Bombe ecology that dominated the Arctic Ocean. The leaves that had been curled up into "needles" had quietly opened up. Visible bactericides were spreading from the veins of the leaves. They were rolled up into the sky by the dry air currents. The target seemed obvious, and it was heading for the airship in the stratosphere.
"They can sense our presence." Wu Chen has discovered.
"Yes." Alice 1049 nodded lightly with a serious expression: "Once these toxins are inhaled, a tumor similar to 'tuberculosis' will grow in the human lungs. The tumor will spread rapidly and become woody. The final result of the infected person is to become a ram tree. It will spread rapidly within 24 hours of the wood mutation, and it will be extremely contagious until the growth (period) ends."
"Can lignification mutation be reversed?" This is what Wu Chen wanted to know.
"In the early stages of toxin inhalation, as long as the tumor is removed in time, the infection can be blocked." Alice 1049's words were obviously based on experience: "Once lignification occurs, it is irreversible."
"understood."
In other words, if the tumor is still in the lung lobe, it can be removed surgically to block the infection. This is similar to the difficulty of curing cancer cells after they spread.
"So, the biochemical crisis has never passed. It just changed in a different way." Alice 1049 smiled with a complicated expression.
"Well, I agree." Wu Chen understood that behind these precious experiences were the lives of people who died in front of Alice 1049. Many of them were probably her comrades who had fought through life and death for many years. Ten years after the outbreak of the T virus, it was ended by "Disinfection Day" and transformed into a wood disaster. The biochemical crisis that reappeared in the form of the Tyrannosaurus Ecology is still continuing and has never ended.
However, Wu Chen's intervention made it possible for the frozen plot to finally come to an end.
Referring to the Earth in the Carboniferous Period, the Boom Ecology must have giant insects. Or "biochemical insect beasts". This is Wu Chen's psychological expectation. But as we all know, there is a kind of hostile symbiosis between insects and forests. Insects will eat a lot of leaves and even hollow out the trunks. And the purpose of trees releasing bactericides is obviously to protect themselves. In this way, the giant "biochemical insect beasts" expected by Wu Chen must have a clear hostile relationship with the Boom Ecology.
So, the giant "bio-insect beast" and the Boom Ecology are probably not from the same mutation system. For example, will the bio-flying dragon that he has been thinking about mutate into the terminator of the Boom Ecology? So it is a very simple truth: the enemy of my enemy can use each other even if they are not friends.
This is also the important purpose of him asking the Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale, who was moored on the oasis island on the top of the Dubai Tower and sat in the fortress giant, to repair all the artificial satellites that can be used and search for biochemical flying dragons. As long as these biochemical beasts at the top of the mutant food chain are still alive, the Baomu ecology will not lack natural enemies.
Unfortunately, there is still no clue. These biochemical flying dragons seem to have disappeared out of thin air.
Now it seems that these powerful biochemical flying dragons may have been transformed into an inconspicuous bomb tree in the vast forest because of the inhalation of bactericides.
But Wu Chen always felt that the plot would never lean towards one side without any bottom line. So from the perspective of the shelter, the violent ecology must have natural enemies.
Taking the PA1049 super airship in the high stratosphere, along the narrow and winding crystalline seabed, we headed towards the coordinate point. Looking down at the green planet covered by the Bom ecosystem, everyone couldn't help but feel an indescribable loneliness in their hearts.
In Alice 1049's words, everyone around her was living on the instinct of survival. In the early days of the Wood Cataclysm, some of her companions who had survived had walked out of the nuclear submarine alone while everyone else was asleep, removed their respirators and walked towards the distant crystalline seabed. When everyone arrived, they had been sucked dry by the water-draining beast. They could not see their original appearance at all. Their facial features had all melted and hardened together with their skin, like a piece of human jerky in a vacuum packaging.
The only consolation is that the bodies that were sucked dry did not have secondary mutations. Alice 1049 talked about a painful experience in a relaxed tone.
"We therefore discovered that water is an essential element for lignification."
"Or 'active cells'." Wu Chen added: "Dehydrated cells will lose their activity and become necrotic. Naturally, they cannot mutate a second time." "Yes, that's the same thing." Alice 1049 nodded slightly: "Do you want to know what happened to 'Ren Gan'?"
Wu Chen's eyes were calm and firm: "Take it back and cremate it."
“Yes.” Alice 1049 smiled slightly. “Precious water is generated during cremation.”
"I understand." Wu Chen also thought of it.
"In the early days, the stranded mobile shelter could still slide in the salt crystals. Later, the granular crystals turned into huge crystals, and the shelter was solidified. Not long after, water-drinking beasts began to appear... You see, the crisis is approaching step by step, and there is no intention to let us 'catch our breath'."
Alice 1049 is making a pun. If you want to hide the water marks, you really can't "take a breath".
"These are the prices of survival." Wu Chen could totally empathize.
"Alice (the main body) said that the biochemical experiments of the two queens are the key to the continuation of the human race." Alice 1049 confided to Wu Chen: "The first-stage enhanced people can resist low concentrations of Botom toxins (biochemical bactericides), the resistance of the second-stage enhanced people is significantly improved, and the third-stage enhanced people should be immune."
"So that's how it is." Wu Chen actually guessed it: "Which batch are you in?"
"We have almost identical genes to the original body." Alice 1049 smiled and said, "So we didn't conduct this clinical trial. So there's no such thing as 'phase '."
"So the two queens must have special clinical trials on Alice's clones." Wu Chen continued to use dialogue to advance the plot.
"Obviously." It wasn't that Alice 1049 was hiding it from Wu Chen on purpose, but she didn't know either: "But these are all follow-up plans, aren't they?"
"After completing this polar exploration mission, the two queens should have new projects to embark on." At this point, Wu Chen linked all the clues to the plot line.
The establishment of the Oasis Alliance is the advancement of the 0326 branch plot line carried by Wu Chen himself, and affects the derivative main line of the biochemical crisis. The "key node" derived from the main line is to ignite the Hazan gas field. It is conceivable that the oxygen-rich combustion reaction will definitely create a far-reaching "artificial water movement".
By then, all the hidden ecosystems of the Bomu will be exposed at once. As “water is an indispensable element for lignification”, once there is no shortage of water, the situation of the Bomu ecosystem will obviously be very different.
Therefore, the adventures of the big players in the shelter have always been two-line, one is the main plot line, and the other is the player's divergence line.
If you want to achieve the maximum harvest in a certain period, it is necessary to unlock and collect all of them.
"We're here, Wu Chen." As the four-hour journey drew to a close, Alice 4 immediately cheered up: "Let's complete this exploration mission together."
"Okay, Alice." As the commander of this operation, Wu Chen immediately ordered: "Scan the terrain and look for a breakthrough."
"Yes, sir." Members of the two V22 teams said in unison.
