Chapter 7 Chapter 5: The inside story of the tragedy is weird and difficult to understand

Ah San's fishing boat collided with the container ship on the sea. This is exactly what Yuan Zhenxia learned from the hospital. Yuan Zhenxia didn't know what happened before this until Chen Kesheng and Hu Huaiyu told him about it.After listening to the narration of the two, he was speechless for a while. Ah San's family, judging from the narration of the two, indeed seemed to have become primitive people—moreover, not only did the behavior change, but their bodies (physiology) also changed. A lot of thick body hair came out.According to the theory of evolution that is still generally accepted so far, primitive man is closer to apes, and naturally has very thick body hair.

When Yuan Zhenxia thought in this way, he called Darwin's theory of evolution "still generally recognized up to now". Naturally, there is a reason.Because there are many different theories about the origin of human beings, which are diametrically opposed to the theory of evolution.For example, some people believe that the people on Earth were resettled from another planet on a large scale.There are also some who believe that a certain advanced alien creature came to the earth, mated with apes to form a mutation, and then evolved. There are various theories, not just the solipsism of the theory of evolution.

Of course, there is no conclusive evidence for various claims, not even the theory of evolution—the evolution process from apes to hominids took millions of years, and there is no support from any fossil research at all. , happened to support the "mutation" theory. Yuan Zhenxia looked at Chen Kesheng and Hu Huaiyu. They had seen the mutation of the fisherman Ah San's family with their own eyes, so they firmly believed that it was some kind of force from the sea that caused the mutation. But what kind of power is that?Is it really like their assumption that someone has mastered the biological genetic code of ancient organisms?

After staying for a while, Yuan Zhenxia said, "Why didn't the hospital notice the changes in their bodies?" Both Chen Kesheng and Hu Huaiyu spread their hands, and Hu Huaiyu's Adam's Apple moved up and down: "Doctor Yuan, maybe... just ask you to investigate further!" Yuan Zhenxia looked at him, only to see Hu Huaiyu's face was pale. Yuan Zhenxia may have been looking at him for a long time, but Hu Huaiyu jumped up nervously, groping his face with his hands, terrified. Called: "Why are you looking at me like this? Is it because... long hairs are growing on my face!" Yuan Zhenxia originally wanted to say: "Not now, maybe soon."But he thought, with Hu Huaiyu's current mental state, it's better not to make this joke, so he didn't make a sound.Chen Kesheng went over and pulled Hu Huaiyu's hand that was groping around his face.Although his own expression was horrified, it was much better than Hu Huaiyu's.

Yuan Zhenxia's thoughts were also very disordered, he was thinking: If Hu Huaiyu's idea is true, then, by what method can another genetic code be invaded into Ah San's family at once? He is a doctor, so he naturally knows that in the laboratory, with the help of extremely sophisticated instruments, the process of analyzing genetic genes is also a very difficult process!If someone can inject different genetic genes into the body of a living being as he pleases, so as to completely change the living being, this is not only unimaginable, but even more appalling! While all kinds of thoughts were pouring in, Yuan Zhenxia heard Hu Huaiyu's heavy panting again, and he called in a hoarse voice: "Doctor Yuan, if I... Chen Kesheng and I, unfortunately, become... Yuan Yuan Man, you... must save us!" Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help but feel a chill, although what happened in front of him was extremely absurd, but it was not impossible.As long as you master the mysteries of genetics, not only can you turn modern people into primitive people, but you can also turn people into anything. Monkey King has only seventy-two changes, and there can be millions of genetic changes!

Yuan Zhenxia's thoughts were very chaotic, and he suddenly remembered that in some Chinese legends, there are often some legends that say that after death, the soul will be "mistakenly cast into a different kind" during the process of reincarnation.For example, Marshal Tianpeng in Journey to the West accidentally threw himself into a pig and became the famous Zhu Bajie.He also remembered a plot in a very imaginative novel: a woman turns into a spider and lives attached to her husband for a long time—is all this related to genetic changes? In theory, the pig's genetic code replaces the human's, and the human becomes a pig.If the genetic code of a spider replaces that of a human, a human will naturally become a spider!

Thinking of this, although Yuan Zhenxia tried his best to restrain himself, he still shuddered wittily! In the eyes of Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng, Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng were even more surprised by his situation. They each groaned and looked at Yuan Zhenxia with helpless pleading eyes. Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "Don't scare yourself, wait for me to learn more about the situation of the collision... If Ah San's family is covered in hair, there is no reason for the hospital not to pay attention!" Both said: "What we saw with our own eyes, not only us, many fishermen have seen it!"

Yuan Zhenxia waved his hand: "I'll go investigate first, um, keep in touch with me anytime!" He originally wanted to say: "If there are any strange changes in you, please contact me at any time", but he changed his words temporarily.Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng nodded in agreement, after Yuan Zhenxia said goodbye and left, he still felt a sense of vain feet.He spent two days doing his research.In that hospital, he became the target of ridicule again. It was the same doctor who put all the files and photos of Ah San’s family’s corpses in front of Yuan Zhenxia, ​​looked at Yuan Zhenxia and smiled: “Original explorer, What cosmic mystery do you want to find out from these dead people?" Yuan Zhenxia naturally didn't bother to argue.

He just looked at those photos - the swollen corpse soaked in water was one of the ugliest images in the world, but Yuan Zhenxia still looked at it very carefully. Looking at the photos, I really can’t see any abnormalities. They are the corpses of ordinary modern people. Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who has professional qualifications as a doctor, can see that all the people have no particularly thickened body hair. The phenomenon. Yuan Zhenxia finally sighed and returned the photo to the other party.He knew that there must be a change that he didn't understand. As for the result of the inquiry from the shipping company, there are unexpected results.He saw the young chief mate of the container ship, who had a strange expression when he mentioned the accident.He said: "Absurd, the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous! It happened at 7:22 in the morning, there was no fog on the sea, the visibility was almost unobstructed, and the sea was calm, but the fishing boat was heading towards our boat at the highest speed. The container ship hit it!"

When the chief mate said this, he paused for a moment, and looked at Yuan Zhenxia with a very puzzled expression. Yuan Zhenxia asked cautiously: "In this situation, can it be said that...the man who drives the fishing boat is not in a normal state of mind?" The first mate yelled: "What's abnormal? It's crazy. It's a 100% suicide—a broken wooden ship hits a container ship. What's the second result?" Yuan Zhenxia asked in a deep voice: "When the fishing boat hit, did anyone see the people on the fishing boat?" The chief mate replied: "No, so after the incident, some people thought it was the legendary 'ghost ship'. But when the fishing boat sank quickly, they heard someone's call...the call was very alarming, so we rescued people , As a result, five men and one woman were rescued."

Yuan Zhenxia asked quickly, "What's wrong with the rescued people? Well, how long did the rescue process take?" The first officer frowned: "I'm sure there are people on the fishing boat, so we are naturally responsible for saving people, but we are not very good at saving people on the sea, so the first victim was rescued three hours later." Yuan Zhenxia raised his head and thought for a while.What he thought of was that generally speaking, fishermen's water quality is very good. If the sea is calm and the sea is calm, it should be no problem to support it for three to five hours.Of course, if after the collision with the ship, you have been seriously injured, or fell into the sea in a coma, then naturally you will not be spared.The first officer continued: "In about seven or eight hours, all six bodies were discovered." Yuan Zhenxia asked again: "All floating in the sea?" The first officer glared at Yuan Zhenxia with a very strange look: "Of course, we don't have diving equipment. If we sink into the sea, the body will not be found!" Yuan Zhenxia was silent for a short time, and the first officer asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Yuan Zhenxia took a breath: "Is it possible to find a crew member who saw the corpse at that time? I have a question to ask him." The first mate said "Hey": "Just ask me, I will direct the rescue operation from the beginning to the end - but you must know that we have no fault at all, and after the incident, we also acted in full compliance with international navigation agreements !" Yuan Zhenxia waved his hand, and ignored the chief mate's statement, he just asked, "Look at the six bodies, is there anything unusual?" When he asked this question, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.The first mate was puzzled: "What do you mean? Strange? What do you mean." Yuan Zhenxia said: "For example, um... there are a lot of hairs on the head and face... long black hairs and so on." The first mate laughed "haha": "What are you talking about, these six people have hair on their faces? Who do you think these six people are, Frankenstein? Of course—" He stopped suddenly when he said this, Not only did he feel that it was no longer funny, but he also showed an inexplicable look of surprise, obviously he remembered something extremely special!Yuan Zhenxia was also stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" The first officer scratched his head: "Contrary to what you said, the six people who were picked up were all bald, so at first we thought that all six were men, but later we found out that one of them was a woman." Yuan Zhenxia Xin After reading the telegram, he knew that the only woman was the wife of the fisherman Asan (Hu Huaiyu once said that at midnight, when she cast the net, she kept burning incense), but why was she also bald? ? Yuan Zhenxia immediately remembered that when Ah San's family started to grow strange black hair all over their faces, they all used razors to shave their hair, but the black hair grew very fast. Will it be that when they shave their hair, they will simply shave their hair as well? This is very possible. When do they shave their heads?In the morning, of course, when they are still "awake", when they are awake, they are modern in consciousness, they can shave their hair, and they can drive a boat.Once that brief period of sobriety passed, they were primitive, inside and out!In Yuan Zhenxia's thoughts, he gradually weaved the story of what happened - in the morning, when Ah San's family was awake, they boarded the boat. They didn't know their purpose for boarding the boat. Run away, avoid all acquaintances, anyone will have this idea after such a strange change in the body, this is a natural reaction. They sailed out to sea and left the deserted island. It must be during this process that they shaved off all the hair on their heads and faces. Then, their "awake" time is over, and they become primitive people again-how can primitive people who only know how to drill wood to make fire be able to drive a motorized fishing boat? So, the fishing boat crashed into the container ship! Yuan Zhenxia knew that his reasoning would not be too far from the truth, he smiled wryly and shook his head, what happened to Ah San's family is really an indescribable tragedy! When a person dies, the mutation stops, and no hair grows anymore, so the first officer doesn't think there is anything special about it. As for the hospital, naturally, he would never have dreamed of such an accident-although both men and women are bald, which is quite rare, but it is also Nothing to do with weirdness! (Later, Yuan Zhenxia went to ask the doctor in charge, and the doctor replied: Yes, they are all bald, and it is very likely that their hair was shaved because of their long hair.) The first mate Seeing Yuan Zhenxia's dignified expression, he asked, "Aren't these six ordinary fishermen? Are they...related to some cult?" Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "Where did you think, of course not!" It can be said that his investigation work yielded nothing, but it only proved that Ah San's family had indeed grown a lot of black hair strangely.All six bodies were cremated, so naturally there was no way to test anything. That night, Yuan Zhenxia was going to tell Hu Huaiyu and Chen Kesheng what he had learned from his investigation, but even after calling several times, the people in the research institute said that they were in the director's laboratory and would not answer the phone, so Yuan Zhenxia just stayed. Then, I didn't continue to look for them.
