There is a reason to keep Ashley in the lab.

For a period of time, with the continuous progress of research in various biological fields, she also began to become interested in this field and almost went to the laboratory whenever she had time. Of course, Alice was happy to have a good sister to help her, and it was also very pleasant to act as a teacher to teach students.

But suddenly there is a new discovery?

Just as breakfast was over, Alice immediately asked James to drive her to the laboratory. The villa is located in the mountains north of Los Angeles, not far from home. Looking at her daughter's impatient appearance, James put on her coat and ran towards her destination without saying a word.

After arriving at the destination, Alice certainly had nothing to hide from her father. The two of them took the elevator to the seventh floor underground together.

While going down, Alice happily tiptoed and waited for Ashley to explain the situation to her. After all, it was impossible to talk in detail on the phone. Seeing the elevator keep going down the dark shaft, James said laughing and crying: "The money I have earned with hard work is spent in this kind of place."

Alice stared at the floor lights and smiled proudly: "This is also called investment. Although we don't know what we will develop, as long as we develop something, we will likely turn technology into productivity."

James knocked on her forehead: "I know this, silly girl, do you still need to remind me?"

"snort"

While talking, the elevator door was already open, and a blond girl in a white coat stood at the door. When she saw Alice appear, she immediately opened her arms: "Hi Dear, welcome to our secret... Oh, Uncle James?"

James said happily, "Just ignore me" and looked around. Although he had been to this mountain hut and the laboratory area on several floors underground, the last time he arrived was almost a month ago. He had not seen him for dozens of days, and the environment here changed again.

Except for the white wall painting at the beginning, all the arrangements in the basement were done by the girls themselves. Of course, it is impossible to paste colorful wallpaper, after all, this does not match the identity of the laboratory, but it is still possible to lay the floor with bright marble tiles.

The feeling of emptiness is gone. The ground against the wall is occupied by a fine iron storage cabinet, which is filled with bottles and jars that ordinary people cannot understand. The walls in the core area of ​​the laboratory have been removed and replaced by one centimeter of bulletproof glass. From the outside, you can see that the tables in the house are filled with various unknown instruments. First, with the electron microscope like a large and thick cannon barrel, the most eye-catching one with the seven centrifuges that are exactly the same.

"Tsk tsk, this is really..."

Alice ignored James's feelings, took Ashley's hand and asked, "You said on the phone just now that you found no bacteria!?"

"I don't know if it's a bacteria or a virus. Anyway, I have compared the biological virus database samples and no match was found."

Ashley led Alice to the computer and showed her a photo.

Alice immediately narrowed her eyes.

For more than a month, she has made up for her biological knowledge with her father’s connections at UCLA. So she has copied the virus database samples into her own computer. It can be said that the level of the small laboratory, whether it is personal or hardware configuration, is rising.

So, what is the virus in front of you?

The sample in the photo is pink, with countless spikes on the outside, just like a dyed sea urchin. Of course, the shape of the virus changes and the macro descriptions are similar, which does not mean that there are only a few viruses with the same appearance. At the first moment of seeing this virus, Alice immediately increased the resolution.

"I've compared it with the virus database with the highest resolution, my dear."

Ashley stood behind, tugging in a long tone and said, "There is no match."

James was also attracted by the girls' behavior. He looked at the photos on the computer screen and frowned: "Unknown virus, are you sure it is harmful to the human body?"

Alice smiled slightly. Of course she knew what her father was worried about: "Don't worry, James, we won't make such a low-level mistake as allowing virus leakage. Have you seen these glassware in the room? They are all made of tempered glass, and the large window is bulletproof glass. Ordinary human operation errors are not dangerous at all."

While speaking, James also saw the location of the sterile room and the sterile clothes that were well preserved, so he nodded, but said: "Even if you really want to do virus research, you should be cautious."

My father's reminder was heard, and Alice was not slow at all, so she personally took a comparison of the virus samples. Intel began to run at high speed, and the data on the hard drive was constantly retrieved, and a blue progress bar began to slowly move towards the position of 100.

After doing this, she asked seriously: "How did you extract this virus?"

Ashley handed her the experimental record manual: "As you told me, I routinely centrifuge Caesar's blood cells. However, it was probably because of the micro-working problem when you extracted blood. This time, the lymph of it was accidentally mixed in the blood sample."

"Lymph!?"

Alice glared: "You mean, you found this new virus from the lymph!?"

Ashley said with an innocent and surprised expression that she did it.

James listened on the side and interrupted, "Lymph...girls, I don't know much about biological things. Lymph seems to be related to body immunity, right?"

“That’s right…”

Alice looked at the computer that was still working on matching. Under the progress bar was the statistics of the number of matches and the remaining number: "Lymph is a colorless transparent liquid in humans and animals, containing lymphocytes, and is mainly formed by infiltration of tissue fluid into the lymphatic vessels. As for the lymphatic vessels... it is a tube with a structure similar to a vein, distributed throughout the body. The lymph circulates in the lymphatic vessels and finally flows into the vein. Some tissue fluid flows into the blood and circulates again and again, which plays a crucial role in the immune system of the organism..."

As she said that, she looked at Ashley with a strange look: "So, you found a group of new viruses in the liquid responsible for immunity!?"

Ashley also looked entangled and painful. Since she had this laboratory, her biological knowledge she had quickly tutored was almost equal to that of a university major. Naturally, she knew what this meant: "And my dear, according to my observation, this virus is attached to Caesar's lymphocytes. The cells responsible for improving immunity were parasitized by the virus..."

James felt like he was numb on his scalp: "Oh my God, that would be AIDS!?"

He couldn't help but feel terrified. The immune cells were parasitized by the virus. Once this conjecture came true, wouldn't it mean that Caesar, who was with his whole family day and night, was very AIDS carrier!?

Damn it, isn’t AIDS just malicious attack on lymphocytes?

But Alice was still calm: "But at least Caesar is not at all. Did the parasitic behavior cause damage to the lymph?"

"No!"

Ashley said firmly: "It's parasites, not attacks, they are a symbiotic state, otherwise I would have told you directly that AIDS has been discovered."

Even in a symbiotic state, this is definitely not a trivial matter!

Alice felt cold sweating: "Dad, hurry up, bring Caesar to the laboratory again. Before I figured out what this virus was like, I don't think it's suitable to live at home anymore, what do you think?"

James was also a little scared. God knows that the whole family, even the elderly parents who occasionally come to Los Angeles to see their grandchildren, often have close contact with Caesar. Although it is just a suspicion, this suspicion is too terrible!

He nodded and said, "No problem, and Vivi, let's do an AIDS test on Caesar right away. Ashley, are you sure this thing is HIV?"

As the words fell, there was a jingle and the comparison result came out, without any match.

"Uncle James, it is impossible for the virus database to be free of HIV samples, but..."

"However, AIDS was originally from Africa."

Alice interrupted: "Anyway, bring Caesar here quickly. Damn it, I just wanted to know why it is so smart, why is it suddenly related to HIV!?"

Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized that there were so many magical things on this little gorilla.

Extremely smart, I have known this for a long time.

I was very strong, and this was what everyone just knew when I saved my grandmother a few days ago.

And now, an undiscovered virus survives in the lymph!?

Even if it does not attack lymphocytes, Caesar must be isolated!

"Dad, let's hide the specific reason from everyone first, especially Sophie and Hannah."

While riding the elevator back to the ground, Alice said to the two: "Ashley, don't tell Sissi and the others first. Dad, let's prepare a suitcase for me specifically for preserving viruses."

The elevator slowly rose to the third floor underground, and James frowned and said, "Suitcase? Do you want to... continue to study after you arrive in the UK?"

"Although the biochemistry in the UK is not as good as that in Japan, the various theoretical knowledge is not much worse. I was still thinking about whether to bring the flower over after Eton starts school. Now it seems that the research topic is delivered to my door."

While speaking, the elevator had risen to the first floor, and Ashley even screamed.

"By the way, Alice, the shape of the cells of that flower is like a sea urchin? Do you think there is anything to do with them??"

Facing the surprise of his friend, Alice looked at her speechlessly.

"You have rich association abilities..." To be continued.
