"Changed the cell structure? Good or bad? What effect will it have on those two mice?"
Chen Yan asked with a frown.
"Based on the blood test results, the current cellular changes have no impact on the two mice's bodies. Their cells have simply become more aggressive and infectious, but their existence remains stable. Whether this change is a good thing or a bad thing requires further testing. It's difficult to draw an accurate conclusion based solely on blood test results."
The answer of 'hope' made Chen Yan's eyelids twitch.
His brows furrowed even deeper as he asked in confusion, "What does it mean that cells become more aggressive and infectious?"
"Literally, normal cells are just simple cells. Countless cells make up various complex life forms. But there is a type of cell that is infectious. Its existence will fight with normal cells, injure them, and then enslave and assimilate them. You humans generally call these cells bacteria."
"Below bacteria, there is another, smaller microbial infectious agent. When it encounters a normal cell, it will actively inject the normal cell with a powerful molecular-level invasion, parasitizing the normal cell, just like you humans give an injection. This microbial infectious agent is what you humans define as a virus."
"Both bacteria and viruses possess strong infectious and aggressive abilities. Similar changes occurred in the cells of the two mice injected with the drug. However, these changes did not alter the stability of the cell structure itself, and therefore did not affect the mice themselves."
Chen Yan gaped slightly at what he saw. After a moment of stunned silence, he said in astonishment, "You mean, the effect of the potion is to turn those two little white mice directly into viruses?"
"That's not accurate, because viruses are not cells, but rather the smallest, simplest microorganisms. The cells in the two mice didn't become viruses; they simply took on some of the virus's characteristics. For example, spike proteins appeared on the surface of the blood cells of both mice."
"These spike proteins facilitate the virus's invasion of other cells and are a very important structural component of the virus. Generally speaking, only viruses have spike protein structures. The fact that spike proteins appeared on the surface of the blood cells of the two mice indicates that they have aggressive properties."
"I haven't yet obtained accurate infectivity data, so I can't draw any conclusions about the two mice's blood cell infection ability. But judging by this shift in aggressiveness, I believe their blood cell infection ability is definitely more terrifying than the virus."
Chen Yan just felt that his head was a little confused.
After trying hard to digest what Hope had said, he pondered, "According to what you said, doesn't that mean... the potion that Li Fengnian gave me wasn't a self-strengthening potion, but something like a virus?
Although for the time being, it will not have any negative impact on the injector itself. But it will also not have any positive impact, but will instead turn the injector into a source of infection? However, it is not clear what the consequences of the infection will be.
"Whether it's a virus or not remains to be seen. The term 'source of infection'... I also feel it's a bit inappropriate. Anyway, let's conduct the most comprehensive tests first and then make a judgment based on the results."
Hope's tone also seemed a bit hesitant.
As far as Chen Yan could remember, this kind of uncertain tone was the first time that Hope had appeared in his voice.
In the past, when "Hope" was used in any analysis or judgment, its tone was relatively positive, sometimes even decisive.
Even if it's not 100% certain, it's not far off.
But this time, 'hope' seemed to have lost that confidence.
Such a reaction objectively proved that the characteristics of this medicine were obviously beyond Hope's current knowledge and information reserves.
Chen Yan said no more and began to get busy in the laboratory again according to Hope's requirements.
Since it has been confirmed that the drug transforms living organisms at the cellular level, the experiments that need to be conducted next are actually relatively simple.
Just target the cells.
Moreover, after repeatedly extracting cells for testing, Chen Yan discovered that the cells changed by the drug were only blood cells. As for the cells that make up other organs, they were not within the scope of change.
All other organ cells, whether skin cells, muscle cells, bone cells, or cells of various internal organs in the body, maintain their original appearance.
At the same time, this change in blood cells has no effect on cells in other organs.
They exist quietly in the blood, with similar aggressiveness and infectiousness to viruses, but they do not invade other organ cells in the body.
The situation of harmonious coexistence between them is quite stable.
Then, at Hope's request, Chen Yan drew some blood from the two mice that had been injected with the drug, and then injected the blood into the other mice that had not been injected with the drug.
After a period of observation, the blood was extracted from these mice and injected into other mice that had not been injected with drugs or blood.
Chen Yan couldn't even remember how many times the various blood injection experiments had been repeated.
He only knew that he had been staying in the laboratory all the time. Apart from going to the wasteland to report his safety every day, he even ate in the laboratory.
Anyway, this experimental process, which basically focuses entirely on blood sampling, does not have strict requirements on the laboratory environment and does not require any sterility tests.
Even the laboratory he rented was just an ordinary one and not particularly clean. Eating in it naturally had nothing to do with it and it was impossible for it to contaminate the blood being tested.
This went on for almost a week, and the ten-day mission agreed upon with Xu Qinghe and others was coming to an end. Chen Yan's experiment finally came to a final conclusion.
'Hope' conducted a lot of calculations, tests and analyses during this week, and finally came to an accurate conclusion. The conclusion report presented to Chen Yan completely surprised him!
