My Items Have an Upgrade Panel

Chapter 355: Gene Fragment Information

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Rui’s face was solemn, his expression serious.

“Is this virus a product of natural evolution?

Dream on.

This is definitely a biological weapon, the kind that could destroy a world. If such a virus were brought to Earth,

Forget about humanity.

All life on Earth wouldn’t stand a chance.

The entire plwould quickly beca dead star, a forbidden zone for life.

All animals, plants, and microorganisms would be eradicated by this virus.

“Red Lotus, bringa gene detection device.”

“Okay, Master.”

Facing such a virus, current human technology definitely couldn’t handle it.

He had no choice but to rely on special means.

Soon, a gene detection device was brought over by a robot.

Tang Rui took out tools and began to disassemble this device.

Since Red Lotus had not made this type of device, it couldn’t be directly upgraded using the panel, so he had to reassemble it.

Half an hour later, Tang Rui reassembled the device, now in pieces.

A beam of light flashed.

The system panel appeared on the device.

Tang Rui directly enhanced it.

Another flash of golden light, and the device was enhanced.

The enhanced device, about the size of a small suitcase and quite unremarkable in appearance, now had these features:

[Item: Gene Sequence Functional Analysis Device]

[Experience: 0/5000]

[Enhancement: Gene Sequence Functional Analysis System]

[Attributes: Analysis speed increased by 180%, precision increased by 160%, gene lock unlocking speed increased by 140%]

[Origin Points: 2710636]

After reviewing the data on the system panel, Tang Rui had Red Lotus send the device to Mars at top speed.

This time, not by spaceship, but directly with a nuclear-powered rocket.

Just one word: fast.

In the evening, after Tang Rui finished dinner, the rocket had already reached Mars.

“Red Lotus, analyze the virus with this device.”

“Okay, Master.”

The robot dripped the virus sample into the device, then began analyzing the virus’s genes.

On the screen in front of Tang Rui, data from the device’s analysis appeared, showing a double helix DNA strand and various gene fragments.

But when the analysis of the gene fragments reached one-third, the data on the screen suddenly froze.

“Gene disguise data detected, decrypting…”

Gene disguise?

Seeing this prompt, Tang Rui laughed.

Goodness.

Definitely not a product of natural evolution. Which virus naturally evolves to include gene disguise?

In less than three seconds, the double helix DNA model in front of Tang Rui disappeared, replaced by a new, much more complex double helix.

Don’t ask how he knew.

Different gene fragments were indicated by different colors.

The gene chain before him was incredibly intricate.

Ten minutes later, the complete genetic structure of the virus was scanned by the device, but it wasn’t over yet.

The device had to crack the gene locks on the chain.

These gene locks, designed to seal genetic information, prevented the data from being read.

“Gene lock decrypted, reading gene fragment functions…”

A cascade of data flooded the screen, rapidly refreshing.

Functions of various gene fragments flickered before his eyes.

The vast amount of data refreshed for fifteen minutes before stopping.

“Genetic data analysis complete.”

Purifier-3 Type Sub-Intelligent Synthesis Organism.

That was the nof this virus, or rather, it wasn’t a virus at all, but an artificially created intelligent biological weapon.

“Red Lotus, display the genetic data, especially the important ones, like the gene fusion fragments.”

“Okay, Master, filtering… Filter complete.”

Cross-species fusion gene.

Copy recognition gene.

Biological kinship transformation gene.

Life magnetic field enhancement gene.

Immune identification gene.

Self-destruct gene.

Numerous gene sequences with special functions appeared before Tang Rui, many of which he had never heard of before.

Their capabilities were terrifying.

He didn’t pay attention to the other genes.

He directly found a critical one among these gene fragments.

The self-destruct gene.

Every weapon must have a switch or a backdoor.

At the very least, friend-foe identification is essential.

And, controlling the weapon to prevent it from harming allies is crucial.

It could be said that after analyzing these gene fragment functions, this thing posed no threat to Tang Rui anymore.

“Red Lotus, based on the friend-foe identification gene fragment, create a vaccine.” Tang Rui instructed Red Lotus.

“Okay, Master.”

After instructing Red Lotus, he began to research these miraculous gene fragments.

Cross-species gene fusion.

This magical genetic technology, often seen in movies, was now before him.

But after understanding the function of this gene fragment, he gave up any fantasies of creating Spider-Man.

Spider-Man?

Impossible.

Even if spider genes were fused, becoming Spider-Man wouldn’t happen.

According to the description, this gene fragment’s function was very limited. Fusing two different species’ genes had a high probability of causing genetic collapse.

This issue primarily arose from gene expression.

One gene tells you to grow hair.

Another tells you to grow scales.

Both genes express simultaneously.

What then?

Hair growing on scales?

Ridiculous.

That would directly result in cancerous cells.

Cross-species gene fusion might be unfeasible, but this technology was top-notch for genetic invasion.

Without it, replacing neuronal tissue would be impossible.

After reviewing this gene fragment’s function, Tang Rui started looking for technologies that could enhance cells.

And he found some.

But it wasn’t about strengthening cells, but rather parasitizing and replacing cells.

Cell strength is linked to life genes. Strengthening cells is extremely difficult.

That would be like creating an entirely new form of life.

In that case, he thought of another method, like armoring the cells.

Creating a symbiotic cell.

Tang Rui’s mind raced with ideas upon this realization.

For a while, he thought of many possibilities.

But genetics was not easy to manipulate, so he wasn’t in a rush.

Just the gene fragments before him were enough to keep him busy for a while.

“Red Lotus, download these gene data and materials to the learning machine, I want to take a nap.”

“Okay, Master..”
