"Xiao Li." Wan Zhenliu, who had not spoken since the beginning of the discussion, suddenly intervened, which surprised everyone. The three of them were exploring. It was supposed to be just for listening, but under normal circumstances it was not
I will be distracted to express my opinions. If I want to express my opinions, I will come back.
Later, in the Star Loma Federation, there was no such thing as "waiting for time" when expressing opinions. After calling Xiao Li, Wan Zhenliu was probably shocked by what he called him, and paused.
Then he continued, "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"What are you afraid of? They are not human beings as we define them." Jie Li snorted again.
Liu Gentian slapped his forehead: "Tch, what do I think it is? Isn't it the so-called gene exchange? We have thought of this for a long time. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. It's possible to think about it, but it's difficult to do it."
Gene replacement is actually what is called genetic modification on earth, which means replacing a certain gene with another gene. However, this is clearly stipulated in all advanced civilizations in this universe, and this technology is absolutely not allowed to be used on humans.
You can repair a certain defective gene, or you can cut out a certain completely negative gene, but you are not allowed to use a gene fragment from another species or even another human race to replace the inherent characteristics of a certain human race.
fragments, and it is not allowed to directly add fragments that are not originally found in humans.[
If not, do you want to live a long life? Wouldn’t it be possible to transplant the life-span-controlling part of a turtle that can easily live to thousands of years into humans? Do you want to be strong? Transplant genes from lions, tigers, etc.
Isn’t that enough? If you want to have high jumping ability? Kangaroo is good!
With such a simple and permanent solution, there is no need to spend so much money on light baths or developing living water? But if this continues, will humans still be humans? Human beings have lost their purity as a species. Moreover.
Once this trend starts, different small groups of humans will eventually be derived due to different needs. As time goes by, this difference will become larger and larger, and eventually it may lead to the emergence of two branches that are mortal enemies of each other.
In this universe, why are there such strict n-scans at the transmission stations of various civilizations and checkpoints of important departments? It is to prevent the technical madman from doing such a thing regardless of the possible consequences. As long as the scan is successful
If you find that a certain person carries a genetic fragment that does not belong to humans, you can trace that person back to the source.
Similarly, reverse gene transplantation is not allowed. In other words, human genes are not allowed to be transplanted to non-human species through human intervention. No one can guarantee that such a transplant will produce new species.
.If it’s ordinary, that’s okay, but what if it’s the kind of powerful species that can threaten the existence of human beings?
Human beings must live in harmony with the environment, and must cherish and protect every insect and grass in the living environment for human beings. But this has a prerequisite, that is, it must not endanger the development of human beings themselves. On this general principle, there will be no
Any change. If you want to talk about selfishness here, you will trap human beings to death. If you really want to do this, you might as well wipe out all human beings!
Another key issue is that a gene is not a clearly defined segment, as clearly visible as the apples on an apple tree. Oh, this is an apple! The so-called gene is actually an n segment of a certain segment.
, except that the position can be confirmed, other aspects cannot be identified at all. To put it simply, it is a rope that is exactly the same from beginning to end. One section is responsible for a certain function, and the other section is responsible for a certain function.
With such uncertain boundaries, it is possible that during the gene transfer process, an extra fragment may be carried, or a small fragment may be missing. These fragments may not play any role in the original chain.
Yes, but it is possible that the new n chain will form a new gene with unknown functions on the new n chain and other purines at the interface where it is connected. This is unknown and is a huge disaster.
So far, even the super civilizations in this universe dare not say that they have completely grasped the clear dividing lines of all gene fragments. In the process of gene interception, more or less may be intercepted.
.
This kind of more or less will not make any obvious difference in other species, especially lower-level creatures, but if it happens to humans, no one would dare to take this risk.
As for the characteristics of the double-chain n structure of Setianren, this universe can be said to be only aware of it, and it has just begun to study it. In the major civilizations of this universe, there is such a sentence that is regarded as an axiom, that is
Since the Creator created a certain species, every part of this species can definitely be used now, in the past, or in the future.
According to this axiom, the double-stranded n of Setianren seems to be a bit redundant. If you want to ensure the stability of genetics, you can do it by verifying the rn again after generating the rn. There is no need to waste so many resources.
Multiple to form a chain.
Because of the double-stranded nature of Setian people, although their lifespans are longer, they are not friendly to the environment. Moreover, because they have half as much genetic material, the energy they need to consume is, individually speaking,
It is much more than that of the people in this universe and the people of Heizi. Especially the daily intake of protein, according to the observations of the "Tu" base over the years, is more than twice that of the people of Heizi.
n is composed of purine and base pairs, and purine is the smallest unit of protein. The increase in n chains means that more protein is needed to facilitate cell division and tissue repair.
It makes no sense that just increasing lifespan requires paying such a high price. It is entirely possible to control the replication of genes by a certain gene fragment to achieve the goal. Nature will not waste any bit of resources.
, this is what the scientific community says to the general public, for easy understanding. But the truly correct statement should be that after long-term evolution, unnecessary, inefficient, and incompatible functions with the environment will all be eliminated due to natural selection.
As a result, it was gradually eliminated.
For example, creatures in caves will no longer need eyes because there is no light, and their eyes will gradually degenerate. Animals in the deep sea will also become transparent because there is no light and evolve their own light to trap prey, etc.
.
In this universe, major civilizations have already begun to carry out human genetic self-improvement projects. This kind of project is not artificial intervention of genetic fragments, but through intermarriage between different races and subtle differences through conscious choices.
Human races mix together, hoping to achieve the results of natural selection and evolution through long-term mutual intermarriage.
But so far, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and there is still no "Superman" that people hope to appear. Instead, it is the strengthening of the day after tomorrow that has made mankind usher in a leap in the development of civilization.
Light baths and living water are all acquired enhancements and do not change human genes. They only increase the activity of cells and mitochondria, making the connection between cells closer. In order to achieve the goal of
In the process of human body's own cell division, the tail end of n is missing, which greatly slows down and extends human lifespan; the activity and interconnection of cells are strengthened, allowing for faster response, quick thinking, and greatly improved tolerance.
.
None of this has fundamentally changed any aspect of this person. If a fetus on the Star Loma Federation does not receive light baths in the mother's body, or does not receive regular injection of a small amount of living water into the amniotic fluid, this little baby
In terms of methods, there is no difference between a fetus born and a fetus born anywhere on the earth.[
In other words, this kind of acquired enhancement has no impact on genetic genes.
Only those who know will be afraid. It is precisely because they do not understand the catastrophic consequences that gene exchange may bring that so many people plunge into it. After arriving at Luoma Star, when Jiang Li learned that there was
After there were no genetically modified crops in the Ma Star Federation and even the entire Star Alliance, Jiang Li felt sad for the earth.
It’s not that genetic modification is necessarily harmful. It’s just that we rashly conduct genetic modification research and apply it to practice in a short period of time without taking completely reliable and controllable precautions against all future possibilities.
Irresponsible behavior towards human beings is also an act of eagerness for quick success.
When scientists on earth conduct research on genetically modified crops, their starting point must be good, that is, to make people eat and be full. From this point of view, they are very noble. But don’t forget why they eat it.
Not full? The most fundamental reason lies in humanity’s own predatory development. If the Star Loma Federation followed the example of other federations and gave up the place where they live, and followed the example of human ancestors, they would return to live in caves.
, learn to care for the environment and ensure the balance of the carbon cycle on the earth, and these will not happen.
Treating headaches with head and foot pains can only provide temporary relief. If the root cause of the problem is not solved, there will always be a day when genetically modified crops are really harmful to human beings.
The problem of insufficient output occurs. But is genetic modification really harmful? For now, it seems that there is no harm to humans, but its unfriendliness to the environment has been shown.
In many places where genetically modified crops are planted, other species can no longer be grown. Their resistance to pesticides and drug resistance has increased significantly. Special herbicides and pesticides provided by genetically modified seed companies can only be used, which has brought serious consequences to other surrounding species.
A huge disaster.
The Setian people are not behind the Loma Star Federation in life sciences, and even surpass the Loma Star Federation by a lot. As an intelligent species, the Setian people will not be so stupid. Among the total population of tens of trillions, there will always be
Has anyone thought of using genetic modification to change the characteristics of being incompatible with the environment? Otherwise, Setian people would not be so vigorously developing life technology and putting electromechanical technology aside.
It seems that from the surface, the reason why Setian people are not friendly to the environment lies in the double-stranded structure of n. As long as it is still in the fetal period, just remove one of the strands. But this is only a superficial phenomenon.
, I am afraid that the Setian people thought of it and did it before, but they did not achieve the ideal situation they hoped for.
"Xiao Li, although the Setian people are not defined as human beings by us, don't forget that their life science and technology are not behind us. What you can think of, the Setian people may not have thought of." Liu Gentian slapped his forehead and Jiang
Li Li already thought a lot about this road in just a moment.
I don’t dare to say it won’t work. But there must be many difficulties, and the time it will take is unknown. But there is not much time left for the people in this universe. More than a thousand years later, another universe in this universe is farthest from the new universe.
The civilization at one end will begin to migrate, thus kicking off the Great Migration of this universe.
Is more than a thousand years enough time? It takes a thousand years for Setian people with a population of tens of trillions to complete genetic research and genetic transformation. These are all irregular, even if they study to their fullest immediately and
It was an immediate success. Within a thousand years, it would be equivalent to doing this kind of work for trillions of people every year, more than two billion people every day.
This is a precise action, and it is not as simple as feeding you a pill. It requires trained and skilled hands and a lot of equipment. Where can you find so many people in a short period of time?
"Anyway, I have a way." Oli snorted and insisted.
"Okay, okay, come here first and tell us what's going on? Could it be that you have made new progress in interrogating the prisoner?" It's not a face-to-face conversation. Jiang Li always feels that he is not used to it. As for speaking
During the prisoner's interrogation, Jiang Li believed that the Japanese slaves must have better methods than he and others.
Doctors, especially forensic doctors, will definitely make people's hair stand on end if they just casually talk about which part of the human body causes the strongest pain, and then describe it vividly. For example, if you take your skull.
Uncover it, stir it slowly with a small stick, for example, let you watch the flesh on your body being cut off piece by piece, leaving only important organs and blood vessels.
Jiang Li was able to come up with some of these words, but after all, he was not a professional. He was definitely not as detailed as Jie Li, and not as much as he thought. Therefore, if the prisoner was handed over to him for interrogation, it would really be a good use of steel.
The blade is on. As long as there are intelligent species, they all have a sense of fear. The more developed the intelligence and the richer the imagination, the stronger the sense of fear.
"Wait a minute, I'll sort out the information and I'll be here right away." Jie Li responded and went back to his work. From his tone, it seemed that he had sorted out all the information? So fast? Everyone couldn't help but wonder.
They looked at each other in shock and began to re-examine what Jie Li said. Jie Li did not deny that what Liugentian said was genetically modified, so was it really genetically modified?
It's just that in this way, the pressure that Ji Li will bear is extremely huge. If the more stubborn people in this universe catch this pigtail, when the Setian people really complete the genetic modification in the future, they will be captured by the people in this universe.
When they are redefined as human beings, what the Japanese will face is a huge blow and a reckoning.
"This little Li, even though he is usually so quiet, is unexpectedly so stubborn." Wei Jingang also scratched his head, with a sad face, completely forgetting how he was bullied by Li Li every day on the battleship.
It's over.
"Let's wait until Xiaoli comes. This incident is too sudden. None of us are mentally prepared. The most important thing is for everyone to adjust their mentality first." As he spoke, Wan Zhenliu appeared at the door of the stone room.
It turned out that the three of them had just returned from the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, so Wan Zhenliu intervened and reminded Jie Li.
"The adventure is over so soon? It's only been more than half an hour." Wei Jingang was speechless and a little lucky, "Fortunately, I didn't follow him, otherwise I would have been disappointed." In his opinion, more than half an hour had passed.
It's only an hour, so there must be nothing good or interesting to see.
"Hehe, you have never controlled Liehuo, of course you will feel that it will be faster." Lin Zhiyang followed in, his helmet had been removed, winking at Wei Jingang, smiling, "I dare not say that Liehuo is the strongest in the entire universe.
It is advanced, at least it is the most advanced in our galaxy and even the Fairy System. How can the performance of those exploration spacecraft be comparable? You, you are destined to regret not following, haha."
"Have you really found something good?" Wei Jinguang's eyes began to widen when he saw Lin Zhiyang reaching into the raging fire to touch it, "That's not right, Ali, it's not like I haven't seen your raging fire before.
, no matter how advanced it is, it’s just like that. How is it possible? Just like this in more than half an hour
Have you explored the entire Grand Canyon? Could it be that their Agni Fire is better than yours as the captain? Are the old men so partial? No, after I go back, I have to complain to Old Man Jiang. Are you kidding me?
Are we going to treat you differently just because you came from the earth, Ali?!"[
"You should have changed it a long time ago, Old Man Wei, you are old and your eyes are dim. The captain's fierce fire is better than ours. In the Star Loma Federation, if the captain's strong fire is ranked second, then absolutely no one dares to say so.
His mecha is number one." Nian Changqing chuckled and began to show off his true nature as Jiang Li's die-hard younger brother.
"So good? No, I have to add a condition to the Marine Corps. I must be equipped with a fire weapon, at least not worse than Lao Wan's and the others. The team members must also be equipped with it, at least not better than Ali's before.
The strong fire is bad!" As Wei Jingang, who has been handling guns for decades, he heard that the strong fire is so good.
, saliva hung glisteningly from the corner of the mouth, looking particularly dazzling under the dim and yellowish light in the stone room. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Please give your monthly vote.
