Geomancer of the Marvel Universe

Facts have proved that Simmons is definitely a girl with a big heart. When she saw the mouse being controlled by Aidil, she jumped off the chair, grabbed the mouse, planned to bathe and disinfect it, and wanted to raise it.

"She was scared to death just now." Fitz was very dissatisfied with this.

"Don't worry, being a biochemist's pet is definitely not a good choice." Coulson patted Fitz on the shoulder, handed him the bottle in his hand and said, "Look at what this is, it's probably... The culprit who caused this incident.”

At this time, Mei and Ward also came back. They caught a lot of mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes were not small in size and very energetic. They kept flying around during the test.

Adil chose to stay in the laboratory, where he was the only one who had the ability to kill mosquitoes flying in the air with his bare hands, ensuring that Fitz and Simmons would not be harmed in the event of an accident.

"Simmons, I may have found what you are looking for, come here and confirm." Fitz shouted excitedly as he looked at the DNA sequence that had been read.

"Expanded sequence?" Simmons hurriedly wiped the mouse, ran to Fitz, and began to check the gene sequence on the computer.

"What is that?" Adil asked.

"Simmons feels that the sudden stagnation of biological evolution on earth may be due to the loss of an important thing, which is the protein that assembles DNA, just like the tool for adding chains to a bicycle.

DNA cannot continue to increase in length, so there is no real evolution. What is happening now is just mutation, which does not essentially increase the length of DNA. Strictly speaking, it is not evolution, it should be called evolution.

And in the liquid you brought back, we may have discovered expanded DNA, and the proteins assembled from it can ensure the continued evolution of organisms.

This protein will capture new DNA that appears in cells due to various reasons, and it will identify whether the DNA is useful to organisms. If the DNA is useful, it will be wrapped in protein and sent to the germ cells, and finally assembled into the genetic genes of the germ cells. superior. "

Adil was confused when he heard it, and then he smelled: "How does it identify whether DNA is useful to living organisms?"

"Synthesize proteins. As long as you synthesize proteins, you can know whether they are useful to living organisms." Fitz was a little excited. This discovery proved that many of Simmons's inferences about the evolution of Earth's organisms were correct.

Adil turned on the communicator and said, "Colson, you need to come over. We may be in big trouble."

"Big trouble?" After saying this, Fitz opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth and said, "It's over, we must find a solution as soon as possible. The current biosphere of the earth simply cannot bear the evolution brought about by this gene."

After Colson came to understand the situation, he said to Simmons: "What do you think?"

After all, Simmons majored in biochemistry and was a bit more professional than Fitz. Seeing that she wasn't too nervous, you could tell that this incident didn't seem serious.

"Every environment has its endurance limit and requires balance. Any animal population that reaches a certain proportion will be subject to environmental constraints. We don't have to worry."

After hearing what Simmons said, Fitz interjected: "You are wrong. What you said is natural evolution. This is different. There is no food around. They may evolve the ability to travel far and continue to go to other places to destroy the earth's ecology. Moreover. The focus of the problem is insects. These fast-reproducing animals have low environmental requirements but can cause big trouble to humans." Fitz considered the issue more comprehensively.

Coulson looked at Simmons to see if she had anything else to say.

Simmons nodded: "Fitz is right, we are likely to have an insect plague, a disaster more terrifying than locusts."

Fitz answered: "At least locusts don't eat people."

"Like what?"

As soon as Coulson finished asking, May's voice came from the communicator: "You need to come to my place, we may be in trouble."

The windshield of Mei's cab was covered with ants, and they were all flying ants. Through the gaps, you could see a lot of them flying outside, but you couldn't tell whether they were all ants.

"This is a prelude to their mass reproduction," Simmons said, looking out the windshield.

"Is this just a prelude?" Ward pointed to the overwhelming ants outside.

Fitz immediately explained: "Among ants, only male ants and female ants can fly. They will only reproduce in large numbers when the environment is suitable."

"No, they have entered the air change vents and the mediator. I need to start the plane immediately, otherwise they will clog the engine." Mei looked at the instrument and said, but it was too late, and the plane could not start at all.

"We must temporarily close the connection between the fuel chamber and the mediator, otherwise we will be really trapped here if they enter the fuel chamber. Also, the air exchange vent must be temporarily closed, otherwise..."

Before Mei finished speaking, the aircraft's ventilation system automatically shut down. The wiring was chewed by ants.

"Adil, go change the air chamber. Can you handle it there?" Coulson knew that this is a very dangerous job. These ants are definitely evolved ants, and their attack power must be much stronger than ordinary ants. Maybe only Adil can do it. Handle.

"No problem, but I don't understand the structure of the aircraft. I need someone to go with me. I will ensure his safety."

"I'll go there with Adil." Ward knew a lot about airplane issues, so he decided to go there with Adil.

"Okay, Fitz and I will go to the fuel room. It's relatively safe there and has no contact with the outside world. Simmons, find a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Mei notifies the headquarters and sends the matter here. Maybe it can be handled in time. Here People can still bear the loss." Colson began to assign tasks.

Ward led Adil to the door of the air change room, held the guard and said, "The air change room is inside, do you still use a dagger?"

Ward had to ask, because he had seen Adil use a dagger to cut off flying mosquitoes, and believed that cutting off flying ants would not be a problem.

"You only use daggers when you have brain problems. I use this." Adil took a bottle of liquid nitrogen next to him: "Insects are afraid of fire and low temperature. It's easy to deal with them with this thing."

"But this is the air change room. If you use this, you will kill us all." Ward was ashamed. A large amount of nitrogen entering the air circulation system will dilute the concentration of oxygen and even exhaust all oxygen. People in the plane It will be finished along with the ants.

"We have to do this. Let Mei close all the vents leading to the interior of the aircraft. There must be flying ants in the pipes. We can't go in and eliminate them. We can only use nitrogen to suffocate them to death. There won't be any ants in the aircraft in a short time. Question, ask Simmons, how long does it take for a flying ant to suffocate to death?"

Adil couldn't think of things that Ward could think of, but they could only do this, otherwise they wouldn't be able to clear the flying ants in the pipes.
