Chapter 289 The Wisdom of Giant Sandworms
It’s not that Meng Chao doesn’t believe in “spiritually created creatures”.
After all, he didn't see any need for "spiritually created creatures" to inject viruses into the biochemical beasts they concocted, allowing the beasts to go crazy and turn into monsters.
However, the demon god who was suspected to be a giant sandworm in the memory fragments of his past life still bothered him.
It is unlikely that wild sandworms will evolve intelligence comparable to humans.
The "White Ghost" also has traces of human modulation.
Could it be that this demon-god-level giant sandworm is the product of a certain human biochemical laboratory?
"Lingchuang Creatures" possesses the best giant sandworm preparation technology in Dragon City.
Takano, one of the company’s founders and technical director, is an expert in the study of giant sandworms.
Otherwise, they would not be qualified to handle a quarter of Dragon City's garbage and participate in the bidding for the No. 20 underground transit line project.
Meng Chao hopes to get some clues from Gao Ye, the technical director of "Lingchuang Bio".
At least ask him about the possibility of giant sandworms producing intelligence.
Using the corpse of this giant sandworm as a "stepping stone" is the best opportunity.
"……OK."
Lu Siya pondered for a moment and nodded cheerfully, "I will take some of the materials back for testing and check Jin Yongqiang's whereabouts half a month ago and his capital flow - something as dangerous as the mutant rabies virus cannot be caused by Jin Yongqiang on his own
It was a trick at home. He must have gotten the virus and the special syringe from somewhere or someone.
"You can take the remaining materials to Agricultural University and Lingchuang Biology for testing. We will meet again later."
The two left the No. 4 garbage dump quietly without anyone noticing.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya parted ways and returned to the Agricultural University before calling Ning Shewo.
The noise around me was very noisy, and there were bursts of slogans, as if I was attending some large gathering.
"Mr. Ning, I found a giant sandworm that was missing from the 'Lingchuang Creature'." Meng Chao got straight to the point on the phone.
"What?"
Ning Shewo was obviously stunned for a moment, and moved to a slightly quieter place, "Meng Chao, what did you say, what happened!"
"The Sega Amagi Beast killing incident caused a huge uproar on the Internet. Many students were filled with indignation and went to debate and discuss with students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Technology."
Meng Chao said, "I thought that debates and discussions would not solve the problem. We still need to find out the truth in order to defend the interests of all monster industry practitioners and the Agricultural University.
"It just so happens that yesterday I heard Mr. Xie tell me that half a month ago, they had some giant sandworms that got out of control in the No. 4 garbage dump and escaped without a trace. I had nothing to do, so I went over to take a look.
"By coincidence, I was at the entrance of a sewage pipe and found the remaining traces of giant sandworms crawling across. I followed the sewage pipe for a short distance and encountered a crack in the ground..."
Ning Shewo said nervously: "You won't get in, right? It's very dangerous!"
"Well, during the Northern Front Offensive, didn't I stay in the underground rock formations for several days? After that, when I saw these pipes and cracks in the ground, I couldn't control myself and wanted to get in and find out.
.”
Meng Chao said, "This is not the point. The point is that I was attacked by a giant sandworm underground. This thing seemed to be infected with some kind of virus. It was ten times more aggressive than usual. Of course, I killed it in the end."
.
"By the way, there are a lot of ordinary rats in the No. 4 garbage dump. After eating the corpses of giant sandworms, they seem to be infected with mutant rabies virus. I brought back a lot of materials, and I should be able to draw accurate conclusions."
"You, you are too brave!"
Ning She I didn’t know what to say, so she paused and said, “Where are you now, the No. 4 garbage dump?”
"I have returned to Jiusha University Town. The corpse of the giant sandworm is still under the sewage pipe of the biochemical treatment center of the garbage dump. However, I harvested all the organs that are prone to decay and raced against time to bring them back——
If these things are detected a second earlier, more information can be extracted."
Meng Chao said, "Mr. Ning, part of the materials I brought back will be sent to the relevant laboratories of our Agricultural University for testing, and the other part will be sent back to Lingchuang Biotech for testing. Do you think it's okay?"
"Of course, I will help you contact the laboratory of the Department of Resources."
Ning Sheme said, "It just so happens that Xie Xiaolei and I are together. The revelations in the middle of the night yesterday made Lingchuang Biotech very passive. Xie Xiaolei organized a large-scale press conference today to clarify the facts, strictly investigate the black hands, and criticize the Internet
Violence and false reporting.
"Later, there will be a large gathering of monster industry practitioners. Many harvesters, spiritual planters, modulators and beast masters will gather together to show all citizens that biochemical modulation technology is the future of Dragon City.
"Xie Xiaolei was giving a speech on stage and couldn't get out for a while.
"However, Gao Ye is still in charge of Lingchuang Biotechnology. He is the technical director. You can go to him directly."
"OK."
Meng Chao said cheerfully, thought for a moment, and then asked, "However, Director Gao's temper seems a little weird..."
"Don't worry, you have done a great favor to the 'Lingchuang Creature' by finding the missing giant sandworm. Gao Ye is just a little withdrawn and not an unscrupulous person. I will call him right now and ask him to be prepared. Xie Xiaofeng
Here, I will come back as soon as the meeting is over."
Ning Shewo said: "Besides, Gao Ye has a good impression of you. It was his intention to take you to observe the testing of three biochemical beasts yesterday."
Meng Chao was slightly startled: "Really?"
"The night before yesterday, when Xie Xiaofeng and I had a video conference, Gao Ye was also there. When they asked me to observe the testing of biochemical beasts, I didn't think of taking you with them."
Ning Shewo said, "Afterwards, we all chatted for a while. Gao Ye asked me if I had a disciple named 'Meng Chao' and said that he had seen several of your harvesting videos and that his techniques were very interesting.
"After being reminded like this, I thought that taking you with me to broaden your horizons and expand your network would not be harmful to your future development.
"I didn't expect that, unintentionally, you suddenly guessed that there was something wrong deep in the ear canals of the two biochemical beasts. As a result, Sun Yufeng kept asking for news about you last night."
Ning She, I am very happy for Meng Chao.
Meng Chao also believes in Ning Shewo, after all, he is a "quasi-heroic citizen"!
"Lingchuang Biotechnology" and Agricultural University are not far apart, both in Jiusha University Town.
At the speed of Meng Chao's two-star spiritual transformation, ten minutes later, he appeared at the edge of the hatching pond where giant sandworms were bred.
Perhaps because Xie Xiaolei brought a large number of company employees to hold a press conference, Lingchuang Biotech was particularly deserted today.
However, Gao Ye had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, waiting alone at the door of the company.
"Classmate Meng Chao, thank you very much. You have really helped Lingchuang Creatures, no, you have helped the entire monster industry chain and biochemical modulation technology."
Taking the sealed material from Meng Chao's hand, a smile appeared on Takano's ugly face with distorted features.
The two came to the laboratory.
Through a large screen, you can see their remote control of the No. 4 garbage dump.
The staff are excavating the soil near the sewage pipe, trying to expand the rock cracks, and using soft cloth made of polymer materials to pick up the corpse of the giant sandworm and move it out little by little.
Researchers in the laboratory also carefully took over the materials harvested by Meng Chao and conducted virus testing.
Gao Ye asked Meng Chao how he discovered the super giant sandworm and the whole process of his fierce battle with the super giant sandworm.
Meng Chao omitted the existence of Lu Siya and told all the other details.
"Do you suspect that the giant sandworm prepared by our company was injected with a virus, so it went out of control?" Takano looked serious.
"Anyway, after gnawing on the corpses of giant sandworms, ordinary mice did develop symptoms similar to the onset of mutant rabies virus."
Meng Chao said, "However, I have to ask you whether the giant sandworm can be infected with mutant rabies virus."
"Theoretically, it is impossible for wild giant sandworms to be infected with rabies virus."
Takano slowly shook his head and said, "The most significant pathological change of rabies virus is acute diffuse encephalomyelitis. The hippocampus, cerebellum, medulla oblongata and pons of the brain will all mutate, affecting the central nervous system, which makes it look like a crazy monster. But the wild giant sand
The 'brain' of insects and the 'brain' of mammals are not the same concept at all, and their neural information transmission methods are also completely different. How can one be infected with rabies virus?
"However, if the virus does not mutate naturally, but someone deliberately develops it for our company's products, then it would be difficult to say.
"After all, in order to improve the giant sandworm's intelligence, digestive ability and motor function, we inserted many gene fragments from other monsters into its gene chain. It is not a pure annelid, and its central nervous system is also related to
There is an essential difference between wild sandworms and earthworm monsters."
"Improve...the wisdom of giant sandworms?" Meng Chao's heart moved.
"it is necessary."
Takano explained, “The annelid itself is quite primitive and does not even feel pain. It will only respond to external stimuli to a certain extent, but it cannot be deterred and domesticated by conventional methods.
"If we don't find a way to improve its intelligence, it will never be able to obey human orders, swallow up garbage in a specific area, or drill straight tunnels. Instead, it will make holes in the soil and rock formations."
"That makes sense."
Meng Chao nodded, with a curious expression on his face, "Director Gao, I'm just asking casually. If it doesn't involve commercial secrets, can you tell me how to improve the wisdom of giant sandworms?"
Takano pondered for a moment.
He is obviously not a very patient person.
But Meng Chao had just discovered the missing giant sandworm, and he was an alumnus of the Agricultural University. He had a close relationship with Ning Shewo, and it was inconvenient for Gao Ye to reject him thousands of miles away.
“Of course there are countless definitions of what ‘wisdom’ is.”
