The young fish projected the observation video of the virus onto a large screen and used intelligent technology to automatically color it for better identification.

However, Jiang Nanfeng couldn't understand it, and only saw twisted chains and a few colored lumps. As for Miao Chenghua, he is even more incomprehensible.

Miao Xiaoyu let the three of them look at it for a while before explaining: "This is the virus we saw. Now it's magnified a million times.

This vision, even the Yuan Shen of Da Luo Jin Xian is not enough, and it needs to use scientific research equipment. This virus, let's call it a virus, is made up of a complete double-stranded DNA with its own genetically modified enzyme protein.

You may not understand, but it's okay, let's do it little by little.

Let's start with viruses. In nature, we find three main types of viral structures. They are:

DNA viruses, also called genetic viruses;

ribonucleic acid viruses, also called messenger viruses;

Pure protein viruses, also called prions.

In addition, there are some disease-causing bacteria, etc., which are beyond the scope of today's discussion. ”

"Let's talk about the three viruses mentioned above. But before talking about this virus, we also need to briefly talk about the normal cell structure of the human body. Here's a rough diagram.

This is the nucleus, which is deoxyribonucleic acid on the inside and the nuclear membrane that surrounds the nucleus on the outside. It is the basis of the human body's information.

And what makes up the human body is protein, which is the material basis.

However, the nucleus cannot directly control proteins, and the genetic material is stable and has a nuclear membrane in the middle, so a messenger is needed, and the messenger is ribonucleic acid.

These three structures make up the most subtle basic structure of the human body. It's kind of like a state structure, an imperial capital, communications, local governance. ”

"And then there's the virus. Three viruses that target exactly three structures of the human body.

Among them, the most powerful and lethal outbreak is the messenger virus, which is a bit like cutting off the information of the country's imperial capital and spreading the wrong information, eventually leading to the chaos, collapse, and destruction of the whole country. When the cells that make up the human body die, the human body dies as well.

But the virus is relatively easy to control. As long as the infected population is isolated, as the host dies, the virus itself will 'kill itself'.

Then there are prions, which act directly on the basic structural proteins of the human body. However, prions are rare, and we don't study a lot. Current research suggests that this virus is the most difficult for the human body to recognize, and most prions have their own 'enzymes' that can directly convert proteins in the human body.

To use a simple analogy of the state, it rebels from the grassroots.

Finally, there is deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the central flowering and straight to the yellow dragon, starting from the most basic genes of the human body. But it is difficult for the virus to break through the nuclear envelope.

DNA viruses are the highest of the three virus species and are closest to the essence of life. Therefore, the lethality rate of genetic viruses is not high, and it tends to coexist with the host to achieve its own reproduction and evolution. ”

Miao Xiaoyu's explanation is simple, but with wonderful pictures and simple videos, it is relatively easy for several people to understand the cell structure. They then used the Genshin to observe their own skin, and they could see the approximation. The primordial spirit of the Golden Immortal can already see the approximate structure inside the cell.

Miao Xiaoyu waited for everyone to suddenly come to their senses, and then continued to explain: "Under normal circumstances, the three viruses exist alone. And the gene chain of the gene virus is generally not very long. The longest genetic virus in nature that we have observed before contains only about 8,600 base pairs and can encode more than 80 viral proteins.

But right now the genetic chain of this virus is ...... It is more than 3 billion base pairs in length and contains 17 prions, or 'prion type converting enzymes'.

If you don't have an idea of 3 billion base pairs. So I would say that the base pairs in the human body are about 3 billion!

But the genes in the human body are not a chain, but are divided into 46 chromosomes, that is, into 46 groups that are relatively independent!"

When Jiang Nanfeng heard this, he immediately frowned deeply, and thought thoughtfully: "You mean to say that the genes of this virus are more complete than human genes?"

"That's right!" Miao Xiaoyu nodded with the same solemn face, "We have also studied human genes before, and we have found that as our cultivation progresses, the genes of the human body will continue to open and begin to fuse.

But after we studied the blood samples of Jin Xian and Da Luo Jin Xian, we found that everyone's genes were completely different from ordinary people. The base pairs of the genes are still the same, but the structure of the genes has changed.

When a practitioner breaks through to the Conversion Period, the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the body will no longer be scattered as in the past, but will be surrounded like some kind of formation. When the pure yang realm is broken, pairs of chromosomes will break open to become 46 individual chromosomes and form a near-perfect ring.

Because of this change at the genetic level, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring.

When the chromosomes are still in the virtual realm, the chromosomes form a stable ring, which is initially stable, because it is difficult for the chromosomes to separate the paternal maternal genome, so it is necessary to pay a huge price to break this ring structure in order to conceive offspring.

When they arrived at the Golden Immortal Realm, the chromosomes began to fuse back and forth. At this time, the practitioner is more powerful, but it is also more difficult to conceive offspring.

After that, he entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal, because the cultivator's flesh and blood body was strong enough, and the genes would break through the chromosomal restrictions and exist alone in the nucleus. All genomes are connected in series to form a complete ring.

When we reached the quasi-sainthood stage, we heard the phrase 'breaking the bridge between heaven and earth'. After our research, we believe that the quasi-holy stage needs to be broken and then established. It is necessary to break the genetic ring and form an open structure.

If the guess is correct, this is it!"

As he spoke, Miao Xiaoyu pointed to the genetic chain of the 'virus'.

Jiang Nanfeng's eyes became more and more sharp, "You mean, this so-called virus...... It's likely to be the cellular structure of the quasi-saint?"

Miao Xiaoyu nodded and shook his head: "It's just a guess for the time being." What the facts are is not yet decided. ”

Jiang Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "The Ocean Group has not studied the blood and cell structure of the Demon Saint?"

"Studied. But the genetic structure of a practitioner is not just a simple structural change. The molecular structure of matter is also changing. As the energy level increases, the nucleus also appears to be compressed.

For example, in the realm of returning to the truth, the distance between its molecules is only 20% of the normal molecular distance.

The molecular distance of the Pure Yang Realm is only 20% of that of the True Realm, or even lower.

The distance between the gene molecules in the realm of returning to the void realm is only about 20% of that of the pure yang realm.

By the time of the Golden Immortal Realm, the distance between gene molecules was already close to the state of degeneracy.

The genes of Da Luo Jinxian are more dense and have begun to evolve to a neutron state. By this point, normal means have become difficult to observe.

This change has also led to some peculiar characteristics of practitioners. For example, a drop of blood weighs several thousand catties.

As for the genetic status of the quasi-saint, we are still observing. But there has been no progress. Most of the above are theoretical derivations. ”

"Degeneracy...... Neutron state ......" Jiang Nanfeng still found these scientific terms, and then he looked at the big screen of 'virus', "The molecular distance of this gene is an ordinary molecular distance, right?"

"Taken from the body of a case in the realm of reversion. The molecular distance is about 80% of the normal molecular spacing. This is a patient with milder symptoms.

In addition, the lab is taking samples from a patient with more severe symptoms, and it will have to wait a little longer. ”

It was said that it would be a while, but in ten minutes another sample came, and the molecular spacing of the virus's genes was reduced to 56% of the normal molecular spacing!

Seeing the data of these two races, Jiang Nanfeng's face was extremely ugly, "I have a terrifying guess. This so-called virus may be the nucleus of the quasi-saint, but it is nothing more than a deactivated nucleus that has lost energy.

Now, this nucleus is ...... Recovery!

Through parasitism, starting from ordinary cultivators, step by step re-follow the path of 'cultivation', and step by step open, activate, and revive!

Could it be that in the end, the quasi-saint can be resurrected?!

There was once a saying that the strong could be reborn with a drop of blood, could it be that they were talking about quasi-saints?!"

In the end, Jiang Nanfeng's face turned a little pale.

Miao Chenghua next to him, although he didn't seem to understand a lot of things, he understood the final conclusion: the virus this time is likely to be the nucleus of the quasi-saint, but it has lost its energy.

Could it be that a realistic version of a blood-dripping rebirth is being staged right now?

Sounds like a wonderful horror story!
