„...... Yesterday, UN held the temporary conference in New York, determined deals sparks/Mars mold mushroom spawn invaded this global crisis contingency plan. The research team comprised of the multinational researchers will enter the Moon Palace number space station in one week, begins the research to this/should mold mushroom spawn together.” “……昨日,联合国在纽约召开临时会议,确定了应对火星菌种入侵这一全球性危机的的应急方案。由多国研究人员组成的研究团队将在一星期之内进驻月宫号空间站,共同对该菌种展开研究。” „At the same time, according to the World Health Organization studies the decision, is named as officially the x-0172 bacteria this/should bacteria.” “与此同时,根据国际卫生组织研究决定,将该细菌正式定名为x-0172细菌。” „The China news, reported for you.” “华国新闻,为您报道。” About the report conclusion of sparks/Mars bacteria, the news in television continued to show. 关于火星细菌的报道结束,电视中的新闻继续放映。 Sat enjoys the breakfast before the table peacefully, Lu Zhou was reading calendar on a cell phone, thought aloud. 坐在餐桌前安静地享用着早餐,陆舟看了一眼手机上的日历,自言自语了一句。 „Also remains for 87 days.” “还剩八十七天。” Time press...... 时间紧迫啊…… Took up the remote control to switch off the television, Lu Zhou pulled out a paper goods to wipe a lower jaw, then shoved open the chair from the table advance party. 拿起遥控器关掉了电视,陆舟抽出一张纸巾抹了一下嘴,然后便推开椅子从餐桌前站了起来。 „Xiao Ai, tidied up the tableware to trouble you.” “小艾,收拾餐具就麻烦你了。” The quad-rotor unmanned helicopter that is hanging the small television, sway flew from the kitchen. 一架悬挂着小电视的四旋翼无人机,摇摇晃晃地从厨房飞了过来。 【The good master, gives me!?(????????)?】 【好的主人,交给我吧！?(????????)?】 Will wash dishes to tidy up the work of table throws after Xiao Ai, Lu Zhou from the entrance takes a coat to throw over on the body, then made the phone call to Wang Peng. 将洗碗收拾桌子的工作扔给小艾之后,陆舟从门口取了件外套披在身上,然后便将电话打给了王鹏。 The quick black red flag stopped outside the villa, sent to Jinling Higher Research institute from main house gate him. 很快一辆黑色的红旗停在了别墅外,将他从家门口送去了金陵高等研究院。 Actually the strict sense, the research of biological application is not the strong point of Jinling Higher Research institute. 其实严格意义上来讲,生物领域的研究并非是金陵高等研究院的强项。 Especially astrobiology unexpected winner the branch of unexpected winner, let alone Jinling Higher Research institute could not find a person who studies this direction, even if puts the domestic first five national universities, cannot look for many. 尤其是天体生物学这种冷门中的冷门的分支,别说金陵高等研究院找不到一个研究这方向的人,就算放到国内前五的国立综合大学,也找不出来多少个。 However, sometimes related to the research of frontier, the person who and may not look for the job suited to one's special training does. After all is the front thing, even the job suited to one's special training, still at most is the experience richly, everyone's starting line is actually similar. 不过,有时候涉及到前沿领域的研究,并不一定非得找专业对口的人来做。毕竟越是前沿的东西,就算是专业对口,也顶多是经验丰富一点,大家的起跑线其实是差不多的。 At present the higher research institute can be called the big cow in the microorganism domain , is responsible for „freezing dormancy” Liu of project doing to ice the professor. 目前高等研究院在微生物领域称得上大牛的,也只有正在负责“冷冻休眠”项目的刘作冰教授。 Although his main research direction is the freezing biology, but because studies the cell sample reason that under the extreme environment collects frequently, in some sense, he instead has right to speak some regarding the x-0172 bacteria. 虽然他的主要研究方向是冷冻生物学,但由于经常研究极端环境下采集的细胞样品的缘故,从某种意义上而言,他对于x-0172细菌来说反而更有发言权一些。 After all, x-0172 bacteria, from extreme environment acquired...... 毕竟,x-0172细菌,也是从极端环境中采集到的…… After getting out, Lu Zhou went to the building of biological research institute directly. 下了车之后,陆舟径直前往了生物研究所的大楼。 When he arrives in the laboratory, Liu does to ice the professors and his several students, is busy at work before the electron microscope observes and records anything. 当他抵达实验室的时候,刘作冰教授和他的几个学生们,正忙活在电子显微镜前观察并记录着什么。 Has not disturbed their research, after waits for peacefully they finished the work on hand, Lu Zhou then walks up, looks that Professor Liu opens the mouth to ask. 没有打扰他们的研究,安静地等待他们结束了手上的工作之后,陆舟这才走上前去,看着刘教授开口问道。 „Has sample delivered?” “样品已经送到了吗？” „Has delivered,” referred to placing the slide specimen on microscope, Liu does to ice the professor to smile a joke saying that „I will make a bet, this probably was the entire world most expensive excrement.” “已经送到了,”指了指放在显微镜上的玻片标本,刘作冰教授笑着开了句玩笑说道,“我敢打赌,这大概是全世界最贵的屎了。” Lu Zhou also played a joke to say. 陆舟也开了句玩笑说道。 „...... The estimate is the entire world is also most dangerous.” “……估计也是全世界最危险的。” Liu did to ice the professor to suspend starting with a smile: „That does not need to be worried, delivered to the specimen on Earth to pass through the deactivation of highest rank, so long as strict in the stipulation according to security handbook operated, basically will not have the issue.” 刘作冰教授笑着摆了下手:“那倒不用担心,送到地球上的标本已经经过了最高等级的灭活,只要严格按照安全手册上的规定进行操作,基本上不会有问题。” Although is a little sensitive to „basic” this word, but Lu Zhou believes the level of Professor Liu, should be insufficient to make that low level mistake. 虽然对“基本”这个词有点儿敏感,但陆舟还是相信刘教授的水平,应该不至于会犯那么低级的错误的。 Stopped a moment later, Lu Zhou asked his most issue of concern. 停顿了片刻之后,陆舟问起了他最关心的问题。 „Did research have the progress?” “研究有进展了吗？” „Progress is a little,” Liu did to ice the professor to push under the eyeglasses, continued saying that „the public latest findings showed according to Professor Lesslie and Professor Zhao stretch/leisurely Xuan, at present we can confirm, Ares hypersomnia symptom that planned on the colonizer to have, should be the x-0172 bacteria causes when the kind of amino acid derivative that forming the spore secreted.” “进展是有一点的,”刘作冰教授推了下眼镜,继续说道,“根据莱斯利教授和赵舒轩教授公开的最新研究结果显示,目前我们可以确认,阿瑞斯计划殖民者身上出现的嗜睡症状,应该是x-0172细菌在形成芽孢时分泌的类氨基酸衍生物导致的。” „Kind of amino acid derivative?” Lu Zhou wrinkled under the eyebrow , to continue to ask, „is issue serious?” “类氨基酸衍生物？”陆舟皱了下眉毛,继续问道,“问题严重吗？” „Seriously to is not very serious, this type amino acid derivative is very interesting, it not only will not injure the host, even...... is beneficial regarding the host.” “严重到不是很严重,这种类氨基酸衍生物很有意思,它非但不会伤害寄主,甚至于……对于寄主而言是有益的。” Lu Zhou: „...... Beneficial? Can with my detail under?” 陆舟:“……有益？可以和我详细说明下吗？” „Driving dormancy,” suddenly throws a word that comes as a surprise to Lu Zhou, Professor Liu answered with the tone of inference, „supposed that on sparks/Mars had the atmosphere and magnetic field, even is various ecosystem, when encountered the disturbances of radical geological changes or other external factors, causes sparks/Mars became not occupies suitably, this bacteria when the pheromone that producing the spore released, might help the host go through the commodity deficient period, like hibernation.” “主动休眠,”突然扔出来一个出乎陆舟意料的单词,刘教授用推断的语气解释道,“假设火星上曾经存在过大气层、磁场、甚至是种类丰富的生态系统,当遭遇剧烈的地质变化或者其他外来因素的干扰,导致火星变得不那么宜居的时候,这种细菌在产生芽孢时释放的信息素,将有可能帮助寄主度过物资匮乏的时期,就像冬眠一样。” Helped the host go through the climate extreme bad period, in the surface is helping the host go through the difficulty, in fact was also the self-help of this/should bacteria. Therefore compares the parasitic relations, between this bacteria and host, are more like relations of mutualism. 帮助寄主度过气候极端恶劣的时期,表面上是在帮助寄主度过难关,事实上也是该细菌的自救。因此相比起寄生关系,这种细菌与寄主之间,更像是一种互利共生的关系。 At this point, Liu did to ice the professor to stop for several seconds, looks at Lu Zhou looking pensive, continued to say. 说到这里,刘作冰教授停顿了几秒钟,看着若有所思的陆舟,继续说道。 „At present we have not discovered temporarily besides hypersomnia symptom, this bacteria will have other influences on the health of host. We have the reason to believe, secretes the pheromone to be the one active defense mechanism of this/should bacteria, through reducing the form help host of metabolic and driving dormancy conducts the dormancy on own initiative. In this dormant state, the tolerance of host to extreme environment will enhance enormously, simultaneously only needs to consume few energies, can guarantee the minimal life characteristics.” “目前我们暂时没有发现除了嗜睡症状之外,这种细菌会对寄主的健康状况产生其它影响。我们有理由相信,分泌信息素属于该细菌的一种主动防御机制,通过降低代谢、主动休眠的形式帮助寄主主动进行休眠。在这种休眠状态下,寄主对极端环境的耐受性将极大提高,同时只需要消耗很少的能量,就可以保证最低限度的生命特征。” Lu Zhou pondered over a moment later opens the mouth to ask: „But the mechanism of release pheromone?” 陆舟思忖了片刻之后开口问道:“但是释放信息素的机理呢？” „Issue is here, we have not made clear its formation mechanism temporarily completely,” Liu does to ice the professor to sigh, „currently has two guesses, one type is when host have the immune response to this/should external bacteria, forces this/should bacteria to produce the spore under the attack of autoantibody stemming from the self-preservation, simultaneously the driving dormancy pheromone is forced to release.” “问题就是在这里,我们暂时还没有完全搞清楚它的生成机理,”刘作冰教授叹了口气,“目前有两种猜测,一种是当寄主自身对该外来细菌产生免疫反应时,在自身抗体的攻击下迫使该细菌出于自保产生芽孢,同时主动休眠信息素被迫释放。” „As for a possibility is, under the stimulation of some physical condition, causing this/should bacteria to judge that the host is in the extreme adverse circumstance, releases the spore and dormancy pheromone protection host on own initiative.” “至于一种可能就是,在某种外界物理条件的刺激下,导致该细菌判断寄主正处于极端恶劣环境,主动释放芽孢与休眠信息素保护宿主。” Although hypersomnia is not the fatal symptom, but if dozing off day in day out, to a normal person is also a suitable headache matter. 虽然嗜睡不是什么致命的症状,但如果一天到晚都在打瞌睡,对一个正常人来说也是一件相当头疼的事情。 At present three colonizers, the colonizer have discovered similar condition, in other words the probability at least is 1/3. 目前三位殖民者,已经有一位殖民者发现到了类似的状况,也就是说概率至少是三分之一。 If on Earth 1/3 people sleep time amplification one time, were very difficult saying that what kind of impact every day will have to the modern society. 如果地球上三分之一的人每天睡眠时间放大一倍,很难说会对现代社会造成怎样的冲击。 Lu Zhou pondered the moment to open the mouth to ask: „Which possibility do you favor?” 陆舟沉思了片刻开口问道:“那你更倾向于哪一种可能？” Liu does to ice the professor: „I favor the first type.” 刘作冰教授:“我更倾向于第一种。” Lu Zhou responds immediately: „In other words, that does colonizer within the body that has the hypersomnia clinical symptoms, possibly have the antibody of x-0172 bacteria?” 陆舟立刻反应了过来:“也就是说,那位出现嗜睡临床症状的殖民者体内,可能存在x-0172细菌的抗体？” Liu does to ice the professor to nod to say prudently. 刘作冰教授慎重地点了点头说道。 „Did not say, but I think that should be this!” “不好说,但我想应该是这样的！”
