"These fungi should have a threshold that will not cause their hosts to die. They should eventually fall into a state of weakness for both of them. This may be what it was like when we saw the alien!"
Cheng Hao smiled slightly.
"But I think that maybe there are two reasons, which is the truth of the matter!"
After hearing Cheng Hao's words, Academician Zhang nodded in agreement.
At this time, Researcher Wang on the side finally recovered from the shock of what he saw in his physique, and he walked to Cheng Hao's side in a panic.
"Professor Cheng! Academician Zhang!"
Researcher Wang looked at Cheng Hao and Academician Zhang in front of him with a panic look in his eyes.
"My body has suddenly undergone such a big change. Isn't it at the cost of burning my life? How many days can I live? Professor Cheng! Academician Zhang!"
Researcher Wang's eyes were full of panic at this time.
He still has two children at home who have just entered elementary school!
What if he died!
What to do with his child!
"Don't worry!"
Cheng Hao smiled slightly and said calmly to Researcher Wang in front of him.
Researcher Wang was stunned for a moment, looking at Cheng Hao in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Not only has your life not been burned, but it has been strengthened a lot. According to the calculations of our instruments, your lifespan is at least one hundred and fifty years!"
"One hundred and fifty years???"
Researcher Wang looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
You know, he is already in his forties this year!
One hundred and fifty years, doesn’t this mean that I might be able to live two hundred years old?
"good!"
Cheng Hao calmly looked at Researcher Wang in front of him.
"Furthermore, this is only our preliminary inference, because the fungus in your body is still undergoing some modifications and strengthening of your body. We don't know how far it can be strengthened in the end!"
Cheng Hao smiled slightly.
"Also! The sudden change you mentioned is not accurate! The fungus in your body has been transforming you for several months!
In the past few months, your body has been strengthening, every day, and the speed of strengthening is constantly decreasing.
The current strengthening is no longer so obvious and has slowed down! So your feeling is not very clear!
But under the instrument, this kind of enhancement can still be detected!"
After hearing Cheng Hao's words, Researcher Wang had a blank look on his face.
"Then what are the sequelae??"
After pondering for a moment, Researcher Wang looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with a curious look in his eyes.
To be honest, he has seen too many good things with huge side effects in his life, but unfortunately, the side effects of those things are often beyond his ability to bear!
The benefits of this thing in front of me are really great!
It's so big that it makes Researcher Wang very unbelievable. No matter how serious the side effects of this thing are, Researcher Wang can actually understand it.
Therefore, Researcher Wang looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with hesitation in his eyes.
He wanted to know what the sequelae would be.
"Say it, you may not believe it, but it may be the truth!"
Cheng Hao pondered for a moment and looked at Researcher Wang in front of him.
"This fungus is very likely to have no sequelae! Of course, the specific details are still under study!"
"ah???"
Researcher Wang looked at Cheng Hao in front of him with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
"Of course, there may be no side effects, but that doesn't mean there are no shortcomings!"
Cheng Hao smiled, looked at Researcher Wang in front of him and said.
"The metabolic efficiency of your strengthened muscles and body will be very high, at least 80% higher than before. What does this mean? Do you know?"
Researcher Wang was stunned for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Cheng Hao and said, "Does this mean my energy consumption will also be very high? The various nutrients I need to take in must be at least 80% higher than before.
?”
"good!"
Cheng Hao smiled.
"This is not a serious side effect!"
Researcher Wang pondered for a moment and said to Cheng Hao in front of him.
Of course, this thing is bound to happen. After all, if there is no intake, how can there be such a strong increase!
"Wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Cheng Hao smiled slightly, and said calmly to Researcher Wang in front of him: "Not only that! Moreover, when your body does not take in enough nutrients, the fungi that parasitize on your body will extract from your muscles.
They draw nutrients from them to make up for their own needs!"
After hearing Cheng Hao's words, Researcher Wang's hair in front of him suddenly went numb.
Doesn’t that mean that you are going to be sucked dry??
His expression changed for a while. At this time, Cheng Hao looked at Researcher Wang's discolored face and continued with a smile: "Don't worry! These fungi will not suck you dry, but they will absorb your muscle strength. In other words,
Without sufficient energy intake, you will become weak more easily and get hungry more easily than others.
If you are hungry for a little longer, the recovery period you need is far longer than others!"
After hearing Cheng Hao's words, Researcher Wang showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Professor Cheng, can this fungus be separated from my body?"
"Separate?"
Cheng Hao looked at Researcher Wang in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.
He originally thought that with such a small shortcoming, but with such obvious advantages, he would be overjoyed!
Unexpectedly, Researcher Wang in front of me actually wanted to separate the fungus from the body!
"Why??"
Cheng Hao looked at Researcher Wang in front of him curiously.
Researcher Wang had a wry smile in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said to Cheng Hao in front of him: "According to what you said, I probably have to eat six meals a day, or even more. Once I eat less, it will be very difficult."
It's possible that a parasitic fungus could drain my muscle strength.
It feels like I am the exploited person and this parasite is my master. I feel that this is not the life I want!"
Hearing what Researcher Wang said, a strange look flashed in Cheng Hao's eyes.
Looking at it this way, Researcher Wang is quite wise!
pity……
"It cannot be separated! At least with our current technology, it is only possible to separate it from you after you die, because this fungus is very closely combined with your genes while modifying your genes, so,
