Dreamland Guide

Mei Yiqiu is worrying about killing cats.

Prior to this, their plan went so smoothly, and even went too far, so that he once suspected that Lester's guess was wrong, there were no aliens at all, or the invaders should have taken action against them long ago. NS.

He imagined that the other party would inevitably adopt a means to use the power of a successful invader to exert pressure on the Third Space Foundation through the government or other forces, causing the foundation to split or even disband. This was something he and several key members had already done. Well prepared for the worst. But in this way, the invaders will inevitably expose some people and strengths, and let them step onto the stage, it is better than hiding in the dark like a shadow.

Of course, the intruder may take more extreme measures, such as assassination. Mei Yiqiu has already written his last words with Leicester's signature, so that in the event of an accident, he can issue another public warning like Lester, like a human being.

But none of these things happened. On the contrary, the frequent revelations and cat-killing orders on the Internet were completely beyond his expectations and disrupted the rhythm of the Third Space Foundation.

In addition to the ongoing space box and dream guide games, their current research focuses on three directions: one is the development of gray brain virus vaccines, the second is in-depth research on the origin of Toxoplasma gondii, and the third is human consciousness. And the identification of parasitic consciousness.

Of these three directions, the third is the most difficult. At present, apart from knowing that extraterrestrial consciousness can induce the brain to radiate the uncommon radio waves that cause Toxoplasma gondii to dance to death, there is no other discovery. It is likely to wait until the space box is developed. Only after success will there be a breakthrough; the first direction is also difficult due to too few virus samples and cases, and the development of a virus vaccine itself is a long process; only the second is because of the ubiquity of Toxoplasma gondii. There has been a research foundation for one hundred years, and it seems that there is the greatest hope for success.

But once the cat killing order came out, it became very difficult to find a cat in the city, let alone to observe and experiment in its natural state. Although other animals and humans also have a large number of Toxoplasma gondii, even more than cats, cats are the ultimate host of Toxoplasma gondii. Without cats, the most important link is missing.

Mei Ziqing wore white overalls and gloves, holding a black and white tabby cat in her arms and walked into the office: "Professor, do you really want to keep it here?"

Mei Yiqiu put the pipe in her mouth, reached out to take the cat, and put it on her lap and said, "Why not? There are not a few cats on the street now."

"But, don't you worry about infection?" Mei Ziqing said worryingly.

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said, "I didn't worry about it before, why should I worry now?" Suddenly, his face changed and he said seriously, "The people panic because of ignorance. You are a scientific worker. Why would you have this kind of thinking? Cats are the final host, and Toxoplasma gondii will not run from the final host to humans for no reason. The danger of cats is that their feces contain a large number of oocysts. As long as they are disposed of in time, your cat will not lick the cat’s ass. Will it be so easy to get infected?"

"But dogs are different. Dogs like to eat feces, and they may lick the cat’s ass, and then lick you, which is very likely to bring you the eggs. Therefore, the chance of getting a dog to get Toxoplasma gondii is higher than that of a cat. ."

"Of course, the main way for humans to infect Toxoplasma gondii is neither cats nor dogs, but eating raw meat. There are many intermediate hosts of Toxoplasma, including cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and dogs. People eat uncooked beef, mutton, poultry and eggs. Or unqualified fresh milk may be infected. Westerners like to eat fresh and we love cooked food since ancient times. This is also the reason why toxoplasma infection in China is far lower than that in Western countries. The general survey in the early 1990s showed that the Toxoplasma gondii infection in China was far lower than that in Western countries. The infection rate is only 15%. Nearly 30 years have passed. Many of the people’s living habits have been Westernized, and the situation is not optimistic. You have seen the sample survey data a while ago. At least in cities, the infection rate of residents has been It's more than 40%."

Mei Ziqing smiled and said, "Professor, I know all of this. I am not worried about you!"

The cat lay on Mei Yiqiu's lap and moved vigilantly, with a little horror in his eyes.

"Look, it is very scared." Mei Yiqiu gently stroked the fur on the cat's back. The cat arched her back and turned her head and meowed twice. "It can sense that its own population is in crisis."

Mei Ziqing said strangely: "Does it still know what's outside?"

Mei Yiqiu said: “Any species can feel a racial crisis. Of course, it must be when the crisis occurs. You lock yourself in the room and you won’t feel anything wrong, but if the people outside are Being slaughtered or zombies all over the field like in the movie, you must feel the crisis. If the number of humans continues to decrease, below a certain value, such as ten thousand, then even if you did not hear the news and did not see death, you You will also feel the loneliness caused by the sparse population. This loneliness is not your personal loneliness, but the loneliness of your race. You must have heard a very famous saying-there are no two identical leaves in the world."

"I have heard it, Leibniz's famous saying." Mei Ziqing said.

"But you may not have heard another sentence."

"what?"

"There are no two identical leaves in the world, nor is there a single leaf."

"What...what does it mean?" Mei Ziqing was puzzled.

Mei Yiqiu said with a smile: "This is a metaphor that Professor Frank made when describing the quantum state, but then many people in the biology and physics circles have extended this sentence and deduced a very important theory— -The non-uniqueness of the universe."

"The non-uniqueness of the universe?" Mei Ziqing asked, "Why haven't I heard of this theory?"

Mei Yiqiu said with a smile: "Because this is strictly a philosophical point of view, not a scientific theory. It means that in this universe, there is no single thing that exists alone~www.readwn.com~There must be harmony. It is a thing of the same kind that exists at the same time. There can be only one leaf, one tree, one man, and even the universe is not the only one. From a scientific point of view, we have indeed not found two exactly the same. Things, even in the microscopic world, two identical atoms have different electron trajectories. Similarly, we have not found a single thing that exists."

Mei Ziqing nodded and said, "I understand. This shows that aliens must exist. There can be no life in the universe on the earth."

Mei Yiqiu said with a smile: "You are right, but what I want to say is not the problem. What I want to say is, if all human beings in the world die and only you are left, you will definitely die. In theory, you should die at the same time when the last person besides you dies."

Mei Ziqing said in a daze, "This...a bit weird."

"You should now be able to understand why there is a sense of racial crisis, right?" Mei Yiqiu picked up the cat on his lap and gave it to Mei Ziqing. "Talk to Aoki to see if you can find a place to raise it. A little cat."

The cat struggled in Mei Ziqing's hands, but Mei Ziqing seemed to understand the little guy's anxiety and anxiety.
