Sanji Badalayar was pressing his shoulders, while Li Qingye was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet in his hand and flipping through the pages with a frown.
[22nd Annual Report of the Medical Department of Homo sapiens Corporation...]
Through the company's management, the current average life expectancy in the control area has been increased to about 89 years, and it is still increasing rapidly.
This is due to the advantages of Homo sapiens in biotechnology. As the scale of the new human race expands, the average life expectancy will naturally rise linearly.
Li Qingye was not surprised at all by this. If the average life expectancy of humans cannot be increased with such powerful biotechnology of Homo sapiens, that would be a problem.
The reason why he frowned was not because of life expectancy, but because of another statistic mentioned in this report.
According to data from the Medical Department, they counted the physical conditions of all employees in the control area from 2019 to 2022, and discovered a very scary phenomenon.
In Hongsawady District and Luzon District, the average sperm concentrations of young and middle-aged men were 53.71 million per milliliter in 2019, 49.52 million per milliliter in 20 years, 45.11 million per milliliter in 2021, and 42.83 million per milliliter in 2022.
The situation in Siam, Malacca, Java and Borneo is similar.
Why does this happen?
This can actually be seen from the region.
However, this discovery is of little use in curbing the trend of human genetic damage.
The key to genetic damage caused by ionizing radiation lies in the large-scale nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s, whose radioactive dust has been dispersed throughout the world through atmospheric circulation.
If this trend continues, around 2045, the sperm concentration of men in Europe, America and some more developed areas will drop to almost zero.
That is X-ray imaging in medical treatment.
In underdeveloped areas, there are relatively few medical resources, and some people may have never been exposed to X-ray imaging equipment in their lives.
So why don’t similar situations occur in women?
In its investigation report, the Ministry of Medical Care also mentioned another very critical source of ionizing radiation that has been ignored by many people.
Once male reproductive cells are genetically damaged, they cannot repair themselves, but they can still survive for a period of time.
The more developed the area, the lower the sperm concentration of men.
Judging from the historical development of developed areas, the key substance that chemical substances damage genes is nicotine.
Not to mention Southeast Asia. In the Pacific Ocean to the east, there are many nuclear test relics in America; in the west, Tianzhu and Xiba, although they conduct nuclear tests in their own deserts, the atmospheric circulation happens to push those over there.
of air particles carried to Southeast Asia.
He may not care about people from other areas, but the new humans are his die-hard loyalists, and Li Qingye definitely doesn't want his subordinates to have problems.
The answer is actually obvious.
The Medical Department organized professional biological researchers and medical researchers to conduct a comprehensive study on this situation.
After the gene loss occurs in female reproductive cells, they will repair themselves. If the repair is successful, the egg can develop and grow; if the repair is unsuccessful, the egg will die.
New humans may be forced to quit smoking.
West Asia and North Africa, Judah and France have also conducted many nuclear tests there.
Genetic damage is responsible for the decline in sperm concentration and quality.
On the contrary, the decline in Motor Island has been smaller, and the current average is still 86.71 million per milliliter.
Li Qingye put down the tablet in his hand and sighed: "Human beings are always good at destroying themselves."
After analyzing the comprehensive physical examination reports of 800 million employees, and combining their job positions, permanent residence areas, daily diet, and living habits, the research team came to a shocking conclusion.
With the accumulation of genetic damage over generations, the overall human infertility problem has become more and more serious after entering the 21st century.
There are two main reasons that can cause gene damage, one is ionizing radiation and the other is chemical substances.
The two dates are also very consistent. After the large-scale nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s, human male reproductive cells began to have problems starting in 1970.
Finally, southern Africa has the highest concentration, which can reach levels of 50 million to 200 million per milliliter.
It is very easy to damage genes, but very difficult to repair and treat.
The third batch of regions is Southeast Asia and Latin America, with a level of about 40 to 50 million per milliliter.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that men can pass their genetic damage problems to the next generation.
Why do genetic damage become more severe in more developed areas? This has a lot to do with their mature medical systems and very common annual physical examinations.
So what exactly causes widespread genetic damage in humans?
After all, he genetically modified himself in order to gain the power of revenge, and now his sperm is still inactive.
The reason is that there are differences in the germ cells of the two.
Southern Africa and Latin America have basically not conducted large-scale nuclear explosion experiments, while other regions have conducted nuclear explosion experiments to a greater or lesser extent.
Through this series of studies, the Medical Department has identified the main culprits causing human genetic damage, which are radioactive dust, nicotine, and X-ray equipment.
Among them, Europe, North America, Australia, Japan and South Korea have the lowest concentrations, which are only 10 to 20 million per milliliter.
Sanchi Badalayar stood behind him and massaged his temples silently.
You know, in the 1970s, statistics from developed countries still had an average level of 0.5 billion to 300 million per milliliter.
Then there are the more developed regions, such as the Far East and West Asia, where oil prices are only 20 to 30 million per milliliter.
Other less developed areas are probably nowhere to be found.
This has led to a very terrible problem, that is, male reproductive cells will become worse and worse, and their number will also decrease rapidly.
This is typical genetic damage.
However, radioactive dust has already spread to every corner of human society through atmospheric circulation and water circulation. Some trace amounts of radioactive materials are difficult to completely remove.
X-ray equipment is almost indispensable in the current medical system. Even if Homo sapiens possesses magnetic field imaging technology, there is still no way to completely eliminate X-ray imaging equipment.
The worst-hit city, Singtao City, has dropped to 14.28 million per milliliter.
At first, the medical department also suspected poisoning by hostile forces, but as the investigation deepened, they discovered that the situation in Homo sapiens territory was not a special case, but a common situation around the world.
Li Qingye knew nothing about the issue of genetic damage.
Among them, Oceania and Great Britain conducted nuclear explosion tests in the desert of Western Australia, and France also conducted nuclear explosion tests in the South Pacific.
Although the dose of ionizing radiation from X-ray imaging equipment is not high, its damage to genes cannot be ignored, especially for people who undergo regular physical examinations.
However, the technology related to gene therapy is still immature and is not suitable for popularization in a short time.
However, the problem of genetic damage is imminent. With the development speed of Homo sapiens, even if we understand the cause of the disease, it will be difficult to curb the spread of genetic loss, and it can only delay it for more than ten years at most.
So we must find a way now.
