Chapter 419
Facing the teacher's inquiry, Mo Xiangsheng seemed to have forgotten what he had said before, and just said blankly: "I'm hungry and want to eat."
Dr. Huang Yuan resisted the desire to strangle his students, took out a handful of jerky from his pocket and put it in front of Mo Xiangsheng. Mo Xiangsheng tore open the packaging and started eating with relish. The scientists looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the conference room became weird and heavy.
When Dr. Huang Yuan's patience was about to be exhausted, Mo Xiangsheng wiped his mouth and swept the packaging bag on the table to the ground. He said indifferently: "Using the previous calculation method of particle characteristics, although it cannot be transmitted to the vicinity of the stars because of its short half-life, it must have a certain probability of self-decaying into another dark matter particle, and the particle has similar characteristics to the original particle. This probability is about one in 170,000. The particle has a long half-life and can completely invade the inside of the galaxy directly."
A scientist asked in surprise: "How did you derive it? Are there any detailed calculation formulas?"
Mo Xiangsheng opened a virtual interface casually, and quickly outlined it on it with his fingers as a pen. With Mo Xiangsheng's finger movements, a series of complexities reached the extreme. In the past, formulas that had to be calculated and verified were smoothly appeared in the virtual interface. Some people showed a thoughtful look, but more people were just confused. Only Dr. Huang Yuan's body began to tremble constantly, and cold sweat gradually penetrated from his forehead.
Mo Xiangsheng wrote for more than ten minutes before he finished the calculation process. At this moment, there was no sound in the conference room.
"I'm hungry, do I have jerky meat?"
Dr. Huang Yuan wiped off the sweat from his forehead and roared outside the conference room: "Give jerky meat."
A service staff hurriedly put some jerky meat in front of Mo Xiangsheng and then retreated. Mo Xiangsheng began to swallow the food in front of him again as if nothing had happened.
Dr. Huang Yuan was silent for a long time and finally retrieved a virtual interface and began to verify it on it. Some of the other scientists were still thinking, while others began to perform calculations.
More than an hour later, Dr. Huang Yuan stopped his hand and leaned on the back of the chair with some weakness, but did not speak until another scholar's slightly frightened voice broke the calm in the conference room.
"The calculation of sound is completely correct. This dark matter particle - if our premise is not wrong, if it does exist and is consistent with our existing theories, it can indeed affect the space near the stars. We thought that the Phoenix Galaxy was a safe haven that allowed us to avoid the invasion of this dark matter particle, but we were wrong, we were all wrong..."
Dr. Huang Yuan's forehead bulged with blue veins: "We cannot determine this yet. Note that all this only exists in our calculations, only in our calculations! In reality, we have not even confirmed the existence of dark matter!"
One scholar whispered: "Our calculation results are verified time and time again, and in this case, it doesn't make sense to deny the existence of dark matter."
"This matter has exceeded our authority. We must report it to the head of state to know..."
Biochemical Laboratory, Academy of Life Sciences.
Although the resources and power that Wang Hao can use in his hands have been greatly enhanced, even hundreds or thousands of times that of the past, what made Wang Hao and his experts a little desperate was that research on the treatment of this disease has not made any progress.
Further research and development, the possible dark matter particles - or the magical power that have not been thoroughly understood - are not just as simple as destroying genes or making gene replication errors. It seems that it can change the physical properties of certain substances in the living body and make them continuously and continuously affect the composition of living bodies. It is precisely because of this that it is so difficult and difficult to treat.
With the wisdom of many experts and scholars, only one progress has been made during this period that cannot be considered progress - symptomatic treatment can be adopted for atypical genetic mutation syndrome, that is, treatment will be carried out in which aspect of the patient's symptoms. For example, dehydration and hydration, heart failure will replace the artificial heart, ears will replace the cochlear implant, etc. When all the symptomatic treatments do not work, they can only watch the patient die.
These problems are enough to make Wang Hao frustrated, but what Wang Hao didn't expect was that even more serious and bad things happened later.
A document was forwarded to Wang Hao's desk as quickly as possible. On the document, the instructions left by the head of state Shen Qingyuan personally revealed the importance of this document. Wang Hao opened the document with a trembling trembling and saw a message that he least wanted to see.
"The latest research by the team led by Dr. Huang Yuan found that the dark matter particle is very likely to have an impact on the living organisms within the stellar circle. We hereby ordered the Ministry of Health, the Academy of Life Sciences, and the Biochemical Laboratory to immediately conduct investigations on everyone in the entire civilization and verify them immediately..."
It is a huge project to investigate the entire civilization's population of hundreds of billions, but people have to do it. It is better to master hidden dangers when they first appear than to be discovered by people when they explode.
The document also specifically stated that this investigation will be carried out under the premise of high confidentiality. After all, no one is willing to let the already-public opinion society bear the impact of bad news again. The health department and the epidemic prevention department have joined hands to carry out specimen collection work - of course, these work will be carried out in the name of health examinations or daily examinations. After the specimen is collected, the Academy of Life Sciences and the Health Department and the epidemic prevention department will organize forces to analyze the hundreds of billions of specimens and feedback the final results to the biochemical laboratory led by Wang Hao for final processing.
After putting down this document, Wang Hao's heart felt a little heavier.
"If even the last safe haven is lost, where will our future go? Could it be that our ultimate destiny is really silently destroyed in this vast universe?"
Humans are too powerful, and humans are too weak. Humans are strong enough to change the world, to travel at super-light speed, and to transform an entire planet. But humans cannot even solve a disease, just a common interstellar dust cloud in the universe, which leaves humans helpless.
Humans know too much, and too little. Humans even know the origin, evolution, and ultimate destiny of the universe, but they don’t even know the interaction between gamma ray bursts and dark matter, and the specific structure and composition of dark matter.
"This is us humans, this is us humans..."
Wang Hao sighed silently and devoted himself to the busy work again.
With the direct organization and intervention of the government, the large-scale sample collection work involving all human beings was completed in just about one month. The remaining 20% will be completed one after another in the future. However, the number of specimens is enough, and whether or not there is 20% does not really matter.
After the gene analysis was completed, a team of computer experts who specialized in analysis and searching data led the data to the biochemical laboratory. So Wang Hao and his colleagues began to analyze the data.
The most basic analysis results were actually obtained in the previous step. The health department and epidemic prevention department have confirmed that among the approximately 80 billion people who have obtained specimens, nearly 97.6% of the bodies of abnormal gene mutations were detected. The form is very similar to the genetic mutation syndrome, but the degree is very mild, and it is even far from the point that people can perceive, and there is a high probability that they will not develop throughout their entire life. In other words, if this investigation is not done, most people will carry these mutation genes until the end of their lives without knowing anything.
Only one in every 270,000 people will have mild symptoms due to genetic mutations, but will improve quickly. One in every 1,600 million people will suffer from a serious disease of unknown causes and cannot be cured, and one in every 2000 million people will die.
Although this has proved the correctness of the theory proposed by Huang Yuan’s team, that is, the dark matter particles will indeed affect the inside of the galaxy, just as Wang Hao said, physics belongs to physics and medicine belongs to medicine. Continuing to test, analyze these samples, and confirm whether they will have an impact on the human population is Wang Hao, and it is the responsibility of biochemical experiments.
The final analysis result made Wang Hao and his colleagues feel heavy again.
"These genes of these mutated genes will not affect the carrier themselves, but will affect the next generation. In our civilization, under normal circumstances, 100 million babies will be born every year. Of course, since entering the interstellar escape stage, the birth rate has dropped significantly. It is currently stable at about 50 million babies per year. Among them, three years ago, the average deformity rate of babies was 3/1000. But I noticed that from two years ago, the infant deformity rate rose rapidly to 7/1000, and last year's infant deformity rate increased to 1/1000. This means that every year, more than 70,000 deformity babies will be added to our civilization. I remember that the medical community had held many meetings to discuss and study the reasons for the rapid increase in infant deformity rate, but each time it ended in no way. I didn't expect that the original reason was here."
