The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2249 Cosmic Bacteria Dali
Then--

Support is coming.

Not only more people and more equipment, but also a very simple and abstract doodle:

An irregular polygon, the overall structure is two different things: the lower part is a cuboid, with a larger top and smaller bottom platform, while the upper part is like a four-sided pyramid.

This painting was of great help. There are very few stones with such unique shapes, and they can even be said to be rare.

It was therefore quickly found, not on the beach as expected, but in the luggage of a traveler who was part of the crowd watching in the morning.

After the incident was over and the crowd dispersed, he was ready to leave and continue playing on the beach, but his foot stepped on a hard object. When he lifted his foot, he saw that it was a crystal clear and uniquely shaped stone, so he picked it up and prepared to take it back as a decoration.

Who would have thought that this stone would attract a vicious agent, who not only "snatched" the stone away, but also repeatedly questioned him, almost using a memory recovery technique. The man was scared and regretted why he picked up the stone at that time. He should have thrown it into the sea.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Once you have been dragged into this, there is no way you can get out in a short time. As expected, the man was temporarily detained and subjected to a more detailed physical examination, while other hotel staff were asked to stay in their respective rooms for observation.

During this period, they are not allowed to leave the room, and food and drinks are delivered by special personnel to ensure absolute safety. This is to prevent someone from suddenly doing something terrible after they are released. That would be terrible. In order to avoid responsibility for involvement, it is better to observe them for a while and make sure there is no problem before letting them go.

Special times require special arrangements. Even Chiba Makoto did not raise any objections. Humans, including him, still had a very superficial understanding of Sfia, and no one could be sure whether these people had no problems.

It is better to be safe than sorry. It is better to delay for a few days than to lose your life.

only.
"this thing"

Chiba Cheng looked over and over at the "stone" in his hand which was only slightly larger than an eraser. Not only was the shape very strange, the material also looked like crystal, but it was a translucent colloid, not crystal clear enough, and could not be seen through at a glance, like hazy frosted glass.

Even from an adult's perspective, this stone is very beautiful and one can't help but want to take it home as a decoration. It is also normal for children to treasure it like a gem.

After turning the "gem" in his hand for a long time, Qianye Cheng saw a hole, which was very small, as thin as a cow's hair. The hole wall was smooth and long, but there was no hole on the other side, which meant that.
"Captain Chiba, this hole is about 1.3 centimeters deep, roughly in the center of the stone. There is a spherical cavity with some liquid in it, about one milliliter."

The professionals on site used professional instruments to provide a perspective view of the gem. This 'tunnel' with a diameter comparable to that of a cow's hair leads directly to a cavity about the size of a soybean in the center. This is the only channel connected to the outside world, and there seems to be some liquid inside.

If you want to know the specific situation, you have to find TPC's professional instruments.

After using remote communication to let the future confirm that this stone was the "shell" that Ji Meng picked up before fainting, Chiba Makoto returned to the metropolis overnight.

As soon as the plane landed, a professional team took over the "stone". In the laboratory, they first used an extremely thin straw to suck out the liquid inside, and then immediately took it for analysis.

Iruma Kei, who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the small stone with a very serious expression.

With so many years of experience, she will not underestimate any seemingly ordinary item.

Just like in 2008, who would have thought that an ordinary meteorite would contain a "time machine" that changed the world.

And now there is another stone in front of me. What is hidden inside it?

"What's so special about this stone?"

Iruma Kei spoke as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was asking Chiba Makoto, but her eyes never left the stone.

At this time, the laser knife has started working, and the operator is carefully using the laser knife to cut the small stone.

The crackling sound echoed in the room and was very loud.

"Ancient viruses, prehistoric bacteria, all are possible," Qianye Cheng stared at the 'stone' being cut, his expression was particularly solemn, and said: "But what is more worrying is the strange things."

This planet is no ordinary planet. Since ancient times, there have been an intelligent race called the Zenaijindar who have "set up camp" on this planet. Twelve billion years ago, Isiris, the king of the Nuaza people, came to the Earth, defeated the Zenaijindar, and became the new ruler of the Earth. Not long after, it was defeated and sealed into the moon. After that, the Earth changed many "rulers" in a hurry, including the famous super ancient giant civilization.

Over such a long period of time, with so many civilizations and races, who knows how many "heretical" experiments they have conducted and how many consumables they have left behind?
Just think about it, humans, before technology was that advanced, had already created a series of products with great destructive power, such as but not limited to Zilda gas, Ebron cells, etc.
pat!

Two uniquely shaped stones were placed on the test bench. Their cross-sections were as smooth as a mirror. Under the light from the ceiling, they glowed with a crystal luster and looked extremely beautiful.

However, on this beautiful cross-section, there is a cavity the size of a soybean and a hole as thin as a cow hair.

The translucent sols inside seen from the outside spread out in all directions with this cavity as the center, giving people the feeling that the things inside have "polluted" the crystal, changing its properties, turning it from crystal clear to dirty translucent.

If that's the case, then could it be that this hole was drilled from the inside out?
This seems to explain why Ji Meng fell into a coma inexplicably after picking up the stone, and has not woken up until now. It was because he was harmed by the thing that ran out of the "stone".

It didn't take long for speculation to become 'reality'.

Because the analysis results of the extracted liquid came out, although the composition is very complicated, it can be summed up in one sentence. The drop of liquid that looks like water is actually the secretion of a living thing. Under an electron microscope, it presents a hollow structure similar to foam, which are piled together like building blocks to form this drop of "water".

Listening to the report and reading the report, Ikuma Hui's brows became more and more furrowed, and were already squeezed into a "川" shape.

This thing seems more and more weird the more I look at it.

The secretion, as soon as it sounds, is very biological. Of course, there is still a possibility that it is robot lubricant, but the probability is very small. After all, under an electron microscope, lubricant shows a honeycomb-like structure, which is too non-lubricating. What surprised and surprised Iruma Kei was that a creature that could drill out of such a small hole, probably smaller than a flea, left such a large drop of secretion, which is several times the size of the hole.

It's like a cow producing an amount of milk comparable to that of an elephant.

This is possible if it can continue to absorb energy from the outside, but this is obviously an enclosed space, unless the guy inside drilled out of the hole but did not go out, but continued to absorb external energy through this hole, and then continuously secreted unknown liquid.

During the brainstorming session, the scanning electron microscopy results of the liquid came out. When magnified to the nanometer level, the holes in the honeycomb structure could be clearly seen. They looked like foam, with a smooth and very thin surface, and a sheen. There was no need for dyeing or rendering, and their existence could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

This is not the end. After zooming in a little bit, in the processed image, through the translucent frosted glass-like film, you can vaguely see black shadows in the honeycomb-like holes. Although blurry, there is a huge difference from the surroundings.

"egg!!!"

This was the first thing that Iruma Hui thought of, and immediately associated it with the countless egg sacs in the Sphia nest in the underground sewer during the industrial zone annihilation campaign launched not long ago. Both the appearance of the egg sacs and the dark shadows inside were too similar.

If there is any difference, it is the size. The thing in front of us is nanometers in size, while the egg sacs in Sphia's nest are measured in meters. The difference is really tiny.

A microscopic world and a real world, logically they should be completely unrelated, but this similarity made Hui Naruma think more about whether there is any connection between the two.

However, she is not a biologist and cannot think of any useful information on this issue, so she can only ask professionals for help.

When Horii, who was in the hospital, heard the news, his shock almost overflowed from the communicator.

"What? Nano-scale organisms?"

Horii was also very shocked when he heard the news.

Although living things include microorganisms, generally speaking, people are accustomed to calling living things other than microorganisms living things. The reason is that microorganisms are too small and simple, like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Except for microorganisms such as mushrooms, most other microorganisms cannot be seen directly with the naked eye.

The only microorganisms at the nanoscale are basically viruses.

It is well known how simple the structure of a virus is: a protein shell plus a genetic core.

Gone!

It is too small to accommodate any structure that is more complex.

But now we say that a complete organism has been discovered in such a size.

this.
If it were anyone else, Horii would definitely think this was a joke.

How can such a small space accommodate a complex structure?

The reason is very simple. Genes are presented in the form of base pairs. Generally speaking, one gene is composed of 100,000 base pairs. The length of a base pair in human cells is 0.7 nanometers. A somatic cell has about 3 billion base pairs. If they are arranged end to end, they can reach more than two meters.

In other words, genes alone cannot be contained at the nanoscale, and it is naturally impossible for a complete nanoscale organism to appear, unless the organism, including its genes, exceeds the lower limit of human cognition.

Horii wanted to deny the knowledge he had acquired over the years, but the scene before him forced him to abandon his past cognition and get to know this "magical" world again.

Because the TPC experimenters had opened a follicle with extremely careful movements, revealing a creature that looked a bit like a flea, with a thick, bloated body of an insect, showing an immature white color, four relatively thick legs underneath, and the hind limbs were obviously thicker than the forelimbs, suspected to be able to walk upright, and three pairs of spider-like tentacles on both sides of the abdomen, a pair of beetle-like antennae on the head, and sharp pincer-like teeth on the mouth, the whole looking very ferocious.

"Oh my God!"

Horii was so shocked at this moment that he could only scream to the sky. It would not be an exaggeration to describe the collapse of his worldview that he had held for many years.

In the microscopic world at the nano level, there actually are complete living creatures. If this were to get out, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire biological world, overturning past conclusions and crushing them to pieces.

Horii was thinking about major scientific events, while Iruma Kei was thinking about such a small monster, how can humans prevent it?

The huge monster, which is dozens of meters tall, can be seen from a long distance, and humans can run, escape, and fight it.

But humans can’t even see such a small monster, so how can we guard against it?
I’m afraid it’s the same as a virus. Wait, virus?
Thinking of this, Iruma Hui hurriedly said, "Could Ji Meng be this thing?"

There is a hole on the stone, and there is a hole in the hole, and there are eggs in the hole. The egg-laying egg has disappeared, so naturally people would think that it might run into the body of Ji Meng who picked up the stone.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Horii said with a heavy heart, no longer in the mood to think about this sensational event.

Because if it is a disease, it can be treated with the help of experts and scholars, but if it is caused by a "micro monster", then it will be terrible, because it is beyond the scope of human medicine, and conventional drugs may have no effect, because drugs are targeted at viruses and bacteria, but this is a monster, no matter how small it is, it is still a monster.

He has experience in dealing with monsters, but what about micro monsters?
Horii was at a loss. He scratched his head and couldn't think of any solution. Finally, he looked up and placed his hope on Chiba Makoto.

When it comes to dealing with monsters, the first thing that comes to mind is Ultraman.
Although Ultraman was before him, Horii did not feel much relieved. The opponent was still too small. It was extremely difficult to destroy the monster without hurting Jimeng.

"Micro monsters." Qianye Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I saw one in the library of the Kingdom of Light. Its code name is the space bacteria Dali."
