The rise of nanometers

Under the guidance of Dr. Brown, who led the way, the special forces team accurately found various research results and research data in the base.

The robbery was indeed very satisfying. Not only did he harvest the "Mars fungus", but he also obtained various biochemical research results that Ham had no time to destroy.

Including a series of wasp attractant techniques used to attack Huang Xiuyuan, there is very detailed information here.

This raid was so sudden and so fast that the base was unable to react at all. Even the last backup satellite phone was blocked by the electronic jamming system of the micro airship.

Noah will not be aware of the problem with everything happening here.

In fact, this is because they are too confident, thinking that the Caribbean is their own backyard and no one can threaten them at all.

The Terror Island base is indeed very hidden and unknown now, but in the 1940s and 1950s, it was a notorious biochemical base known to everyone around the world.

Because in Huang Xiuyuan's memory, the last global biochemical crisis was caused by this base.

This is why Huang Xiuyuan is so familiar with the inside of this base, because in order to exterminate mutants and creatures, all parts of the world paid a heavy price.

That biochemical crisis began in 2044, quickly swept through Central America, and then spread to the world, raging for five years.

In the end, it was not that humans defeated the Mars fungus, but that the Mars fungus adapted to the environment of Blue Star and became more gentle, and its fatality rate for animals dropped to less than one thousandth.

Of course, humans have also paid a heavy price for this, with the population plummeting by 68.4%. However, many animals have become more powerful due to their super adaptability, and their numbers have increased a lot instead of decreasing.

Some people may think that there are fungi on Mars, which is nonsense, but Huang Xiuyuan knows that the existence of microorganisms on Mars is a fact.

The first public paper on the existence of fungi on Mars appeared in 2021.

However, relevant information that will be gradually declassified in the future shows that as early as around 2005, NASA and American senior officials began to initially determine that microorganisms existed on Mars.

The reason why the microbiology paper will be released in 2021 is because China's Mars rover "Zhurong" is about to land on Mars. NASA only released this paper because they knew they could no longer hide it.

Sure enough, after Zhurong successfully landed on Mars, mushrooms formed by fungi were discovered twice in less than a month, and the number of fungi was quite large.

Since then, humans have made certain modifications to their space plans for exploring Mars to avoid bringing Martian microorganisms back to the Blue Star.

But no one thought of it.

In fact, creatures from Mars have already visited Blue Star.

Since the Hadean Era, Mars has been subject to frequent collisions with asteroids in the asteroid belt, and a large number of native Martian microorganisms have been brought to the Blue Star by asteroids.

It's just that most of the Martian microorganisms were burned to death at the last stage due to the friction and heat generated by the atmosphere.

But over the past billions of years, there have been many lucky people who have successfully escaped the filtering of the atmosphere and sneaked into the Blue Star ecosystem.

In the book "The Origin of Life in the Solar System" published in 2053, 19 species of microorganisms shared by Mars and Blue Star were introduced. Through genetic testing and comparative analysis, it was found that these 19 species of Martian microorganisms are directly related to some microorganisms on Blue Star. common ancestor.

The latest Martian microorganism that was successfully smuggled is the well-known Mars fungus.

Human beings always think that they are pure, but real human beings are never pure.

Among the genes in the modern human gene pool, in addition to the Homo sapiens genes of the main ancient ancestors, there are also some Neanderthal genes.

In addition, in the human gene pool, in addition to "human" genes, there is actually a large part of "microbial" genes.

Especially for strange organisms like viruses, their genes can easily be embedded in the human genetic chain. To a certain extent, we are actually virus symbionts.

This is why the Mars fungus has a way to parasitize the human body and then gradually become symbiotic with humans.

But at the beginning, because the Mars fungus was not adapted to the Blue Star environment, and researchers from the Noah Society randomly conducted genetic modification experiments on the Mars fungus, it failed.

As the Mars fungus gradually adapted to the Blue Star environment, its lethality rate for its host decreased year by year. By the year Huang Xiuyuan died, the mortality rate of the Mars fungus had dropped to about one in 450,000.

In fact, this is also one of the survival rules of microorganisms.

Many microorganisms are either parasitic or symbiotic, and the survival mode they exhibit is not static.

They will eventually "compromise" and gradually transform from parasitism with a high mortality rate to symbiosis with a low mortality rate. After all, if the host dies, they will die too.

After the fungus incident on the deserted island, the world made the decision to comprehensively and strictly control biochemical research, especially the research on genetically modified microorganisms, and it was even more vigilant.

Humans always think they can control everything, but they underestimate the adaptability of living things, especially microorganisms that mutate at an alarming rate.

"Gene locks" are very easy to fail for microorganisms. Not to mention microorganisms, even insects, it is difficult to control them with human genetic modification technology.

Samba tried to use genetically modified mosquitoes to eliminate normal mosquitoes. As a result, normal mosquitoes quickly evolved and became immune to the sterilization attack of genetically modified mosquitoes in just three or four generations.

Huang Xiu has foresighted too much about this kind of thing. Human beings never have a long memory, and there are countless incidents of overturning in genetically modified technology.

Obviously, even the genetic modification technology of mammals and plants has caused frequent problems.

How dare you conduct genetic modification experiments on microorganisms? If it is within the controllable range of the laboratory, then forget it.

They also like to commit suicide by putting genetically modified insects and genetically modified microorganisms into production and weapons, and then spread them into the natural world.

The Desert Island incident was only taken seriously because it was too serious and caused heavy losses to mankind. However, there are many true facts that have long been buried in the piles of history.

After the Desert Island incident, humans shot many related movies, as well as a VR virtual game that fully restored the real scene - "Desert Island - Plague War".

Huang Xiuyuan had been working in a secret base at that time. When he was bored, he played this game. The deserted island base in this game was exactly the same as the real deserted island base.

With a lot of background information, Huang Xiuyuan knew that this base was established in 1990, completed in 1995, underwent a second transformation in 2007, and started researching Mars fungi in 2013.

As for why not go to the Antarctic ice cap and take away the meteorites in advance.

It's not that Huang Xiuyuan didn't think about it, but after the Desert Island incident broke out, the Noah Society destroyed part of the information. Among them, there was only a very vague sentence about the location where the Mars fungus meteorite was found: it was located near the South Pole.

There is no specific time or location. The area around the South Pole is so vast that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the end, Huang Xiuyuan decided to grab it directly from Noah Club.

But the time arranged by Huang Xiuyuan almost missed it, because in his memory, the Mars fungus was at the Desert Island base on January 11, 2013.

The time of the assault formation operation was January 23rd, and it happened that the Mars fungus was sent here.

It can only be said that Huang Xiuyuan was destined to obtain the Mars fungus by some mysterious coincidence.
