To avoid embarrassing someone in the future, Gu Xi decisively decided to end the topic and asked instead: "Professor Xu, why do these plants mutate?"
I heard that the little crybaby is now an expert at the Superpower Research Institute. I think he has been studying at the institute for thirty years, so he should have made some discoveries, right?
Professor Xu, who had always been aloof in front of others, now became amiable and approachable.
He followed Gu Xi and patiently explained to Gu Xi: "The reason why these plants mutate is because there is a special energy in the body, which we call x energy."
Gu Xi nodded. It seemed that this x energy was the official name of that weird energy.
Seeing her interest, Xu Yiersan continued: "This kind of x energy, after entering the human body through the food chain, cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body, nor can it be eliminated through metabolism..."
After a pause, he continued: "When this energy accumulates to a certain amount in the human body, it will cause devastating damage to the human body..."
I don't know what he thought of, but Xu Yiersan's expression was obviously serious.
After a while, he lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "...A good person turned into a monster who lost his mind in the end."
The monster here does not just refer to adjectives.
Because X energy will not only make people completely lose their minds, but also cause certain changes in their body:
Some of them grew scales on their bodies, some grew tails, some hands and feet turned into sharp claws, some had bone spurs on their backs, some had fangs in their mouths, and some had tongues sticking out.
More than three meters long...
These humans who finally turned into monsters are no less destructive and dangerous than the original zombies.
After Gu Xi woke up, she had never seen such a monster.
Although there were occasional comments on the forum, there were no images or videos. Now that Xu Yiersan said this, Gu Xi felt moved.
After thinking for a while, she asked: "Then where does this x energy come from? And how does it enter the bodies of animals and plants?"
Xu Yiersan just regarded it as a little girl's curiosity and didn't think much about it, saying: "We suspect that this x energy is probably related to the zombie virus that suddenly disappeared that year..."
This is similar to Gu Xi's previous guess.
But Gu Xi has never figured out how these strange energies enter the bodies of animals and plants.
She once used her supernatural powers to carefully sense the surrounding environment and found that there was no such special energy in the air, water and soil.
It seems to appear out of thin air in the bodies of animals and plants, and it is surprisingly fast.
I don’t know if the research institute has figured out this problem after so many years of work?
Gu Xi looked at Xu Yiersan seriously.
"As for how this kind of x energy appears in plants..." Xu Yiersan hesitated.
"It's a shame to say it," he sighed: "Over the years, we have tested the air, water, source and soil in different environments... We have done a lot of analysis experiments, but we have never been able to figure out this problem."
"A few years ago, someone proposed a possibility..." At this point, Xu Yiersan's expression became a little strange, and he fell silent.
Gu Xi glanced at him in surprise.
Xu Yiersan came back to his senses and said with a complex expression: "A few years ago, someone suggested that the reason why X energy appears in animals and plants may be because of... genetic variation."
Gu Xi: "...?" She doesn't study well, so she doesn't know that energy can be inherited?
Xu Yiersan explained: "Some people speculate that when the zombie virus suddenly disappeared, it was lurking in the bodies of animals and plants in some way, and then some unknown changes occurred, causing the zombie virus to interact with certain genes of animals and plants.
Fragments fused..."
Then, as the animals and plants reproduced and were passed on to the next generation, the gene sequences changed by the fusion underwent some unknown changes again during the growth of the animals and plants, and x energy was born...
Gu Xi listened very carefully.
She seemed to understand something, but she seemed not to understand anything.
Finally, she thought about it and said euphemistically: "...it's amazing."
Seeing her like this, Xu Yiersan couldn't help but smile: "I think it's quite absurd. In fact, when this theory was first proposed, it was not recognized by the mainstream."
"But not long after, someone extracted a special set of gene fragments from those groups that turned into monsters..."
This proves that X energy does change certain genetic sequences of the human body.
Since X energy can change the genetic sequence of the human body, it can naturally also change the genes of other animals and plants.
Then be bolder, think in reverse, and deduce in reverse - could these x-energy that suddenly appear in animals and plants come from some special gene fragments?
So someone proposed the idea of genetic variation.
Just because the same or similar gene fragments have not yet been extracted from the bodies of those mutated plants and animals, this inference cannot be proven yet.
Gu Xi washed her hands and thought to herself: Although she didn't understand it, it felt so unfathomable.
"Xiao Xi, if you have anything else you want to ask, you can ask me." Xu Yiersan sat on a big rock by the creek and looked at Gu Xi with a smile.
This is my sister's child and she has the right to know everything!
Gu Xi turned her head and looked at him, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "I want to know what happened to the malignant transformation of the alien plant? When did this malignant transformation start? Before that, were there any
What’s the sign?”
Gu Xi, who had just fought with the malignant alien plant a few days ago, now wanted to find out the most about this matter.
Because she discovered that after the alien plant became malignant, another, more pure energy appeared in her body, and this energy made her superpowers particularly exciting.
Gu Xi's superpower has never been used since she broke through the tenth level and reached the divine level when she was fourteen years old.
Everyone believes that the divine level is already the highest level of supernatural powers.
But Gu Xi, who has been in the position of a full-level boss for many years, vaguely realized many years ago that there should be a higher realm above the god level.
She could vaguely feel the existence of that realm, but she never touched the threshold.
Until that night, she continued to plunder the strange energy from the alien plant, and finally witnessed the malignant transformation of the alien plant with her own eyes.
It turns out that before the alien plant becomes malignant, it will absorb a large amount of energy from other surrounding alien plants, causing the nearby alien plants to wither and die.
The consequence of this kind of natural selection is that in the process of malignant transformation of the mutant plant that finally wins, another, more pure and advanced energy is produced in the body.
This new energy made her little green bud particularly excited.
After Gu Xi plundered this part of the energy, it seemed that he had vaguely touched the threshold.
So she wanted to know more information about the malignant transformation of xenografts.
But the matter of Yi Zhi's malignant transformation was suppressed by the superiors, and Gu Xi had no way to find out about it.
However, from what Wei Heng said before, it seems that all the information about the malignant transformation of alien plants is now in the hands of the people at the Central Base Superpower Research Institute.
Even the military doesn't have much.
And Xu Yiersan happened to be from the Superpower Research Institute. Coupled with his special status, he made up another identity for himself...
Gu Xi thought that this might be her only way to gain access to that information.
So even though she knew it was a bit risky for her to ask, Gu Xi thought about it and asked anyway.
But at the same time, she also found that the moment she asked this question, the Qin sisters and Shen Yue all raised their heads and looked at her.
Even Xu Yiersan's expression changed slightly...
The look in her eyes was different. This chapter has been completed!
