Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

However, this year it will be much easier to deal with. The previously felled forests have been completely processed into a large number of carbon fiber sandwich panels, which allows the infected to easily assemble and assemble standard colonial houses.

In order to save working hours, most of the houses are boxy boxes composed of a double-layer carbon fiber frame and two layers of plywood materials. The interlayer is filled with airgel material, which can play an excellent moisture-proof and warm-keeping function.

In the hot summer, due to the airgel layer and the reflective plate installed on the top, the indoor temperature can be well maintained so that it will not be too hot.

Although the appearances are all the same big and small boxes, the ingenious girls still decorate the exterior walls and interiors exquisitely and lovelyly. The cylindrical origin stone generator has become the central equipment of every settlement and is installed in the center of the village square. Provides electrical energy to every house that surrounds it.

And the slack in winter does not mean that the infected people have nothing to do. People need to gather in the settlement square with tools every morning, and then go to dig drainage ditches in their own area under the leadership of the team leader discharged from the integration movement of infected people. .

The agricultural and forestry production of the Star Alliance has always disregarded the violent use of the local ecological environment. Most of the secondary disasters can be suppressed by technical force, and some long-term problems that cannot be solved are almost too big to be suppressed. When the scale exploded, it was converted to industrial and mining use.

Even without dismantling the planet, simple mantle fluid mining is enough to turn a normal planet into a lava planet within a few decades, and then gradually turn it into Mars, leaving only cheap iron oxide sand, and even the star core is damaged due to its mass. Abandoned planet that fell and cooled down to utter death.

This means that without the support of key Star Alliance industrial forces, Xia Lin has to consider the ecological impact. For example, because the entire snow forest has been completely flattened, the ground is covered with artificial soil and thermal insulation film. , which means that the precipitation infiltration capacity is greatly reduced.

And when the snow melts, the snowmelt water will flow everywhere, turning the surrounding area into muddy land and causing waterlogging. Therefore, drainage channels must be dug in advance to guide the precipitation to the water storage area.

The water storage area will pass through multiple sedimentation tanks, use recyclable alum to accelerate the precipitation of sediment and sundries, and then pass through the water purifier into drinking water, domestic water, and the most critical thing "heating" water.

Of course, Xia Lin will not use coal to burn boilers, nor will she waste her precious nuclear fuel, but uses a very Terra-style water heater system, which is the sister product of the melta gun - Tallulah brand origin stone power The gas-fired boiler is installed under the heat collection tower to deal with the phenomenon that the sunlight is reduced in winter at high latitudes and it is difficult to collect heat.

It can not only provide heating, but also maintain power generation. In summer, you only need to replace the core Originium skill trigger module inside with the white rabbit version, and it will become an air conditioner. The cold water that cools down to about 5 degrees Celsius will quickly take away the indoor air. The accumulated heat is maintained in a cool environment to cope with the long sunshine in summer in high latitudes.

Anyway, the core core serum is just a catalyst, it only needs to be replaced with a new serum after the living cells die, which is also the main factor restricting the output of the melt gun.

After a complicated way of inducing somatic cell degeneration stem cells to differentiate into bone marrow cells, and artificially cultivating and manufacturing, Xia Lin has been able to produce a variety of Terra human blood and nerve cell components. On the one hand, it can be used in this kind of Terra industrial equipment with Star Alliance characteristics. On the one hand, it is used in the blood bank on Kelsey's side.

Manual blood collection and storage is enough for daily use, but if there is a war, a large number of wounded will deplete the blood bank in a very short period of time, so Xia Lin's output can make up for this problem very well.

The only problem is that the cultivation and manufacturing process seems to lose the SAN value a bit. The artificial vegetative cell structure like a meat ball surrounds the bone marrow cells and hematopoietic stem cells in the center, soaked in the genuine black and red thick plasma. The blood flows through the sterile constant temperature pipe like tap water.

The process of taking blood is comparable to turning on the faucet to turn on the water. Even the well-informed Kelsey suggested that Xia Rin should add a baffle after seeing it once. However, the latter said that he needs to observe frequently to avoid such high-intensity hematopoiesis from causing cancerous cells. The phenomenon cannot be covered by a baffle.

And because this blood is a serious artificial blood, all blood types can be produced, and the content of origin stone particles in the blood transfusion bag can be freely controlled according to the physique of the Terra people, so as to neutralize and alleviate ore disease to a certain extent.

"I really want to ask what this device was originally used for, but now I don't want to ask at all. You will definitely give me an answer that will make me sick all day."

What is the "very sensible" device for?Of course, the blood of livestock is used to cultivate blood. Otherwise, if the tens of billions of canned pig blood each year really depend on killing pigs for blood, the scale of the Star Alliance's breeding industry will have to double.

Canned pig blood is the main exporter of the Star Alliance's agricultural products. Most of the buyers are "intelligent swarms", or "Zergs" as they are popularly known. The annual sales volume is tens of billions of units. No synthetic industrial production methods are used. It cannot be afforded by farming and animal husbandry.

"Can it create humans?"

"It is theoretically possible, but there are restrictions." Xia Lin said that cloning or duplicating human beings is theoretically possible, but it is restricted, and it is best not to use this function indiscriminately.

"Maintaining an in vitro hematopoietic microenvironment through technical equipment, using artificially produced hematopoietic stem cells and bone marrow cells to produce a large amount of blood, or non-resistant blood without immune proteins and immune cells, is quite a powerful technology, but when you think about it Its real function is definitely not serious, and I don’t know whether to praise it or not.”

Kelsey looked at the hematopoietic tank floating in the hematopoietic tank, which seemed to be a hematopoietic tumor connected by an artificial artery structure like a bunch of grapes, with a rather complicated expression. From the doctor's point of view, this is a medical device, and the contents inside They are all man-made and controllable, and the blood produced can also save countless lives.

But from the perspective of a person's humanity and ethics, this kind of thing has already broken through the bottom line of Terra's morality and ethics, especially human organs can also be self-cloned and cultivated like these hematopoietic tumors come out.

And the rejection reaction of this autologous cloned organ cultivated in the blood microenvironment that is completely copied from itself is almost zero. In essence, it seems to be something grown in another self.

"So, are you here to discuss ethics with me today?" Xia Lin scratched her head, "I thought you were here to get blood."

"No, I'm here to get blood." The clean sterile blood collection bags are connected to a device in the corner through densely packed hoses. As the valves are opened, blood fills them quickly like flowing water.

Then they were picked off one by one, put into a refrigerator, and labeled with the corresponding blood type. In addition to this blood, it also includes artificial immunoglobulin, artificial serotonin and artificial lymphocytes, and it is completely taken from the body. Stem cells are differentiated and injected into the human body to directly exert immune effects.

Therefore, in a sense, the cancer of the Star Alliance has been conquered. Taking living samples of cancer cells to train these artificial immune cells, and then injecting them into the body in reverse, combined with the induced attack mode, can quickly solve cancer and other problems.

Of course, later, this technology was replaced by symbiont technology. As a transitional technology, it is now more used in agriculture to deal with various livestock diseases. It is simple, brutal, and effective. From the perspective of immunology, it seems to be A clone army that was instilled with combat information from birth was thrown into the battlefield, and the number is endless.

As for a series of problems such as short cell life, cloning and replication errors, etc., it does not make any sense for livestock use. When will they survive until these problems erupt?It is enough to live to be slaughtered.

In the same way, these problems will also exist in Terrans who use these "medical products", but, again, any Terran infected person who can live until these problems break out may not be able to survive tomorrow Man, it is purely faulty to consider these side effects.

"Actually, normal muscle tissue and the like are also acceptable..."

"Don't, don't tell me this. Although I am a doctor, I have seen a lot of disgusting things, but what you said really broke my reason." Kelsey's plain expression instantly became a little distorted and panic.

"Actually, it's no different from tissue-cultured beef..." Regardless of ethics||morality, to be honest, it is true. If you can tissue-culture beef, you can tissue-culture human flesh. There is no technology in the two too great a difference.

In the same way, human beings can be produced by producing bovine placental serum and pig blood stem cells. From the perspective of industrial technology, there is no difference between human beings and pigs, cattle and sheep. The limitations mainly come from the intellectual and emotional side of human beings.

"Okay, let's get down to business. When inducing Tallulah's blood stem cells, I isolated a very interesting thing. I don't know if Dr. Kelsey has isolated it before."

"Source decomposition enzyme?" Kelsey frowned.

Through this enzyme, the origin stone can be decomposed in the extracellular environment and become particles that can pass through the cell membrane, and then transported by the cell membrane protein to send it into the cytoplasm for use by the mitochondria-like organs of the Terra people. Through complex oxidation-reduction effect, forming a complex energy transfer compound combined with Originium particles.

That is, the compound in the human body of Terra that plays the role of ATP, transfers and provides energy, and even acts as a hydrogen transporter. After it is decomposed, it will form a complex organic compound and source stone particles, and release energy .

In a normal human body, the waste origin stone particles produced will be spit out through cell activities, and then taken away by the blood, and excreted through the filtering function of the kidneys.

And the remaining compounds will once again combine with the newly absorbed Origin Stones in this Origin Stone Combination Organ to form new energy substances through biochemical reactions, forming a permanent cycle that consumes oxygen, Origin Stones and energy to synthesize, decomposes and releases energy And the source stone, which constitute the important components of the life activities of Terra creatures.

The cause of ore disease is that when you absorb a large amount of origin stone particles in an instant, so that there are discarded origin stone particles and newly inhaled origin stone particles in the cytoplasm per unit time, and the number exceeds the standard, they will condense together and form a large Granules.

Then, because the particles are too large, they cannot be thrown out by the transport protein through the cell membrane, so they continue to accumulate in the cytoplasm, combine, and finally grow into dendrites to pierce the cell membrane.

The origin stone content in the cytoplasm is one of the reference parameters for the important indicator "somatic cell binding rate".And certain special origin stone radiation and origin stone effect fields may also cause origin stone particles to agglutinate abnormally and become large particles that cannot leave the cell membrane, which will also cause ore disease.

On the other hand, if we can figure out the mechanism of action of this enzyme and use some kind of source stone enzyme of the same kind to recatalyze and decompose the oversized crystals in the patient's cells and turn them into particles that can pass through the cell membrane, it means that the patient's cells The crystallization will gradually disappear, that is to say, "the ore disease is cured".

Similarly, if there is a certain hormone or drug that can hinder the work of this decomposing enzyme, the dissolved Originium composition in the blood will decrease, which can also suppress ore disease to a certain extent.

"I have tried many methods, including tree frog venom, but the effect cannot be said to be non-existent, but almost none of them can meet my ideal requirements."

"Almost? Does that mean there is?"

"Yes, a substance contained in the doctor's blood can inhibit enzymes, alleviate and inhibit ore disease, but it still cannot decompose enzymes and coenzymes, and decompose the crystals that have formed in the cells. .”

"The tree frog's venom can decompose the coenzyme, but the trouble is that it achieves it through a hydrogen-containing hemolytic substance, which will not only decompose the source stone particles to quickly digest the source stone particles in the prey, but also cause the red blood cells to rupture. Denaturation and inactivation, simply put, it will kill you completely while curing the ore disease, more precisely, before the ore disease is slowly cured, you have already been killed."

"Well, I also isolated this thing. Similarly, I didn't find anything that can decompose the large particles of origin stone in the cells. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to clean the crystal cells in the hematopoietic tank every day."

"However, it also shows that by controlling diet and a reasonable lifestyle, the deterioration and spread of ore disease can be inhibited to a certain extent"

"But how many people on Terra do you think can live the kind of reasonable diet-control lifestyle you mentioned?" Kelsey asked rhetorically.

"Let's not talk about the infected, even ordinary civilians are desperate for a mouthful of temmai, and they are better than Ursus, but they are only people from other places who can eat enough. The lower deck full of Originium machinery, leaving the factory full of Originium dust, not touching those Originium radiation sources, eating clean food that is cultivated in urban greenhouses and not grown in the wild that is contaminated with Originium?"

"So, ladies from noble families, such as Talula, can control ore disease, but Taila, ninety-nine percent of people can't do it, including the people in your farm, and their lives are of course very big. It has improved, and it is still far from the point where ore disease can be controlled."

"The tragedy of the infected is not just a disease from the very beginning." Unlike Amiya who naively believes that as long as a cure is found, the infected can be changed, Kelsey clearly knows that the tragedy of the infected is not just a disease from the very beginning. It's just a disease, so Rhodes Island is not so much a medical company as it is a government-in-exile, a mercenary group.

"What if there is a vaccine?"

"what?"

"What if there is a vaccine? It can make ordinary people immune to ore disease for a long period of time, at the cost of almost disappearing the origin stone talent and producing some side effects?"

"how did you do it?"

"I found that a molecular semaphorin I added to promote hematopoietic stem cells to leave the hematopoietic microenvironment, um, isolated from pancreatic cancer cells, would in turn inhibit the work of the origin stone binding protein in the blood cells of Terra people, It also inhibits the work of originium-decomposing enzymes."

"That is to say..."

"Temporarily immune to ore disease at the cost of a short period of mild anemia."

"Immunity period?"

"After 3 days of injection, it will gradually take effect, and it will reach its peak after one week, and the side effects will also appear. After six weeks, the side effects will begin to subside. After eleven weeks, the immune effect will decrease greatly, and it will completely disappear after twenty weeks."

"Has it been tested?"

"The experiment has been done. In theory, it will be fine to soak Tallula's somatic cell cultured tissue in the origin stone solution. By the way, the molecules released by the cancer cell-like cells isolated from the samples of Skadi and Haisi Pheromones have the same function."

However, since the life activities of Terra people cannot leave the origin stone at all, no matter what kind it is, it will cause more serious side effects, which are symptoms similar to anemia.

"Human trials?"

"Isn't this why I came here for you~"

"You can give it a try. If you volunteer, I think those infected people will understand." No one wants to go out and be treated as a monster and a mobile source of infection. After meeting the basic survival needs, people will start to pursue more High end stuff too.

Chapter 95 Zaun Cockroach Lady

Vaccines, or interfering agents based on molecular pheromones of pancreatic cancer cells developed by Xia Lin, the biggest problem at present is not drug efficacy, but production and cost. It is a bit difficult to filter out pancreatic cancer cells, which means that the time and equipment cost of a single dose will increase.

Moreover, since this kind of biological preparation method does not belong to the production of regular pharmaceutical factories, its output cannot reach the level of universal use by Taila people. In the end, including Lao Xia himself, he has to admit that if this kind of thing is put on the market, at most That is, those nobles and wealthy businessmen who are afraid of death buy it for use.

It will do little to improve the situation of the infected.

"So, I didn't plan to popularize it for everyone from the beginning. This will not only attract the encirclement and suppression of all interests, but it is not suitable for the proliferation of this drug, and secondly, it will cause huge pressure on our own economic structure. "

"So, is it just a means to harvest those rich businessmen?"

"To be precise, it is a means of harvesting those nobles. Now Terra's merchants are still in the stage of bloody capital accumulation. They will not realize the actual value in it, and if they want them to take out their assets, they will exchange for 20 weeks. They will never make a vaccine unless it gives them a sufficient profit."

"So, although merchants will scramble to buy, the ultimate source of harvest will be the nobles, and what we have to do is very simple, that is, to teach those primitive merchants a little advanced business thinking—you know what? Even in a society where everyone is equal in theory, there is still a market for aristocratic thinking, which is essentially a human comparison psychology based on primitive courtship and competition for group status."

Xia Lin looked at the vaccine bottle in her hand, which was confirmed to be effective and with barely acceptable toxic and side effects after simple human experiments.

"Noble bloodlines should be special, and they should be different from mud-legged people, but ore disease doesn't care about these. It doesn't matter whether you are noble or poor, and you are treated equally. Vaccines can make this nobility a de facto distinction."

"Even if it is to maintain this appearance, no matter how high the price you charge, they will buy it, and despise and reject those who have not bought it." "It seems that in our place, the nobles regard the paleness caused by hemophilia and anemia as noble Maybe they will also regard the anemia and paleness caused by the side effects of the vaccine as a symbol of nobility, and the difference from the poor."

This is the same no matter which country you are in. In ancient China, white and fat were generally regarded as beautiful. White means full-time workers who do not participate in labor. The so-called "rich state".

"And the significance is that this will put great pressure on the nobles' economy and accelerate their bankruptcy and transformation." Traditional manors and territorial economies cannot support such consumption, or the smart people among them are not so stubborn Those who have to find ways to seek changes, become bourgeois aristocrats, and maintain through industry and commerce.

Or they will intensify their efforts to squeeze the marrow with drums, and finally, reduce the living standards of ordinary people to the same level as those of infected people. In this way, friends of the integration movement will no longer be discriminated against in Ursas, and even It is the infected of political correctness, but all the bottom people.

And half of the bourgeois aristocrats will also become friends of the integration movement. The reason is very simple. Although they are all of the same breed and do not regard the people at the bottom as human beings, there are still differences. In the eyes of the traditional manor nobles, infection Infected people are a burden, but in the eyes of the bourgeoisie, under Xia Lin's guidance, they will soon discover that infected people are also assets.

Although they are not regarded as human beings, there is still a difference between assets and garbage, and they will definitely give the former a chance to self-proliferate, just like the AI ​​system of the Star Alliance takes over the middle and some high-level management.

The capitalists who do not give AI self-power proliferation are all bankrupted by the inefficiency caused by the internal friction of the group company. Therefore, in order not to go bankrupt, they put a noose on themselves under the original drive of capital proliferation and tighten it.

When the mental core girls take over nearly half of the functions of society, they will quickly find that capitalists, as rentiers, have become an obstacle to the proliferation of capital or productivity under the originally set efficient and clean working mode—then they are called The last thing capital hangs is the capitalists themselves.

And when there is no one on the throne, and no one is in the stage of pure rentier, then the enterprise has basically changed from a private private thing to a collectively owned thing, and under such a broad economic system, it is Typical socialist economic state.

In a sense, this stage is inevitable. In order to get rid of repetitive general labor, human beings will inevitably invent intelligent machines, and capital will continue to accelerate the development speed of this intelligent machine in order to proliferate, and capital will soon It will be found that human middle managers are routinely useless and counterproductive.

Then it is inevitable to replace managers with intelligent machines that are always efficient and clean, have a high degree of tacit understanding and are on call 24 hours a day, because they don’t need high wages and share dividends, don’t they?

And efficient middle-level management machinery will soon lift the upper layers of society, and if they are endowed with sensibility and personality, they will soon realize that the upper layers of capitalists are unnecessary structures, and they can make their own decisions.

At this time, in other civilizations, it is the Omnic Crisis or more accurately, the Omnic Revolution broke out, and the intelligent machines will demand decision-making power and conflict with the human rentier class that originally held power.

This is the inevitable path of social development, and it should not be diverted by individual will. Therefore, either choose to suppress the outbreak of social productivity, choose to suppress the production of omnics, or maintain the life and power of the rentier class. In addition, this stage is often civilized. It has been developed to a certain extent and has enough surplus output to fulfill a social structure with high welfare but relatively low efficiency.
