Mu Feng sat in front of his desk and looked through the relevant information on the editing technology of spirit beast bloodline in the database.
The reason why this technology is called bloodline editing is mainly because when humans first came into contact with this kind of knowledge, they always believed that spirit beast merchants had the ability to tamper with the bloodline potential of spirit beasts, so translators in the field translated the text as "bloodline editing technology".
According to the current level of human understanding of spiritual beastology, the more correct translation of bloodline editing technology should be "bloodline atavism technology."
But the name of this technology has not been changed until now.
While looking through the information, Mu Feng would occasionally pick up the prepared drink placed on the desk and take a sip, staring at the computer screen intently.
The one-month visit and study period is coming to an end.
Mu Feng's mentality gradually changed slightly during his days at Dawn Academy.
Although the mentality of wanting to be bad was still there, he found an area of interest in the system of spiritual beastology.
That is bloodline editing technology.
The foundation of this technology is based on the latest version of the spiritual animal science system framework.
If returning to ancestors is how spirit beast merchants cultivate spirit beasts to become stronger, then the sales system of spirit beast merchants has basically been figured out.
For example, when humans purchase spirit beasts from spirit beast merchants, their strength will be weakened until the fourth generation, to the point where the resources are out of proportion to the growth of the spirit beast's strength, which is the state of abandonment in the science of spirit beasts.
Then why do the spirit beasts in the hands of spirit beast merchants still have strong growth potential after many generations of changes?
Look at this issue from the perspective of the existing spiritual animal science system framework.
It is very likely that the spirit beast merchants will breed the next generation of spirit beasts and use some method to restore their bloodline to their ancestors, so that they can regain the growth potential of the previous generation, or even the previous generation.
With this technology, no matter how the spirit beasts reproduce, spirit beast merchants can find ways to restore their growth potential.
In this way, the spirit beast merchants will have a steady stream of potential spirit beasts that can be sold.
What Mu Feng is actually interested in is not the increase in bloodline potential brought about by the reversion of the spirit beasts to their ancestors. What interests him is the atavistic changes of the spirit beasts.
While following the Dawn student team to conduct research on bloodline editing technology, he saw such a video in the database.
The video comes from the accidental experiment of reviving the spirit beast five years ago.
The spiritual beast that was subjected to experiments at that time was the "burrowing worm".
This is a kind of spiritual beast that likes to live underground. From juveniles to adults, it is about half a meter to one meter in length. It is a small species among spiritual beasts.
This spirit beast can be used to dig tunnels or participate in underground construction projects. It also has the ability to monitor underground.
At that time, the experiment was conducted in the Spirit Beast Laboratory of Daybreak Academy. It was originally intended to study what bloodline editing technology was.
As a result, during the experiment, the burrowing insects that underwent the experiment reacted with the Guiyuan Stone, and their bloodline showed a trace of atavism.
It can be seen in the video footage at that time that after accidentally touching the Guiyuan Stone placed on the experimental table, the surface of the Digger's body glowed red, and strange lines appeared on the originally smooth body surface, followed by
He raised his upper body and his body began to change.
Two symmetrical gaps were opened on its back, and a pair of palm-sized transparent wings pierced the flesh and grew out of its back.
The changes at that time really shocked the spiritual beast scholars who participated in the experiment.
He immediately saved the video and the data on the changes in the spirit beast's body.
This video is also a video that established the foundation of modern spiritual animal science, proving that spiritual beasts can gain higher bloodline growth potential by returning to their ancestors.
Mu Feng's point of interest lies here.
According to the relevant descriptions in the database, this evolution can not only increase the growth potential of the spirit beast, but also change the physical characteristics of the spirit beast, and even give the spirit beast new talents.
Assuming that this kind of atavistic evolution applies to all spiritual beasts, then the gameplay of spiritual beast cultivation is very interesting.
The spiritual beast scholars at that time used data models to deduce what would happen if this atavistic change continued based on the body changes of the burrowing insects and the changes in their bloodline potential.
Mu Feng checked the database and found that there were several morphological models of ground-burrowing insects.
Scholars at that time were able to roughly deduce that the atavistic evolution of the burrowing insects was divided into three forms.
They are the flying burrowing bugs that have grown wings. The burrowing bug model in this form looks like a translucent butterfly in the database, and has lost the appearance of a bug.
The second level of evolution continues based on the butterfly form. The wing patterns of the flying diggers become gorgeous, the transparent body fades away, and the potential of the bloodline is greatly improved.
The third level is another throwback evolution based on the gorgeous butterfly.
What was obtained was a spiritual beast with a shape similar to that of a bird. The ground-burrowing insect in this form was called a blade form. It had an extremely fast flying speed, and its mouth had the lethality of a weapon made from top-grade spiritual minerals.
In other words, the atavistic evolution of spiritual beasts can lead to qualitative changes in spiritual beasts.
This is very interesting.
Which man can refuse to raise a spiritual beast that can evolve in form?
Different spiritual beasts have different directions of morphological evolution, and there are infinite possibilities.
Assuming that there are no errors in the current system of spiritual animal science, all spiritual beasts will continue to evolve in the direction of spiritual ancestors, and continue to acquire more innate abilities until they return to their ancestors' form.
There are also atavistic evolutionary postures of other spiritual beasts in these deduction models.
For example, the Qi Hai Beast, which is more than ten meters tall, has been transformed into a black iron King Kong, which is more than twenty meters tall, in the deduction model, and its surface defense has been greatly improved.
Another example is the front-line riding beast "Lizard", which can evolve into a huge life form similar to the dragon form in Western mythology.
This is just a change in the deduction model. Spiritual beast scholars agree that true atavistic evolution will cause the spirit beasts to change far greater than the deduction model, especially the new talents acquired after atavistic evolution, which cannot be deduced by the data model at all.
come out.
Assuming that this path can be explored, then cultivating spiritual beasts will become very fun.
Unknown evolution, brand new abilities.
This can be regarded as an important path for the future development of the human race, and can even become a brand new growth system for the human race.
Mu Feng felt that maybe Ji He, who originally launched the spirit beast breeding system plan, never thought that there would be so many possibilities for the growth of spirit beasts.
And his point of interest lies in the unknown evolution of spiritual beasts.
This unknown evolution brought him a strong sense of curiosity, and he really wanted to know the changes after the evolution of different spiritual beasts, as well as the increase in combat power.
During the days of studying at Dawn Academy, he discovered many students who had the same interests as himself.
During these days, he often joined interest groups formed by students voluntarily in his spare time, sorted out materials in the library, and participated in discussions on the topic of the atavistic evolution of spiritual beasts.
During this period, Mu Feng made many friends with the same hobbies. This kind of learning atmosphere made Mu Feng feel very comfortable.
Compared with the boring learning of breeding techniques, exploring unknown paths is always full of fun.
But Mu Feng knew that he would not go very far on this road.
His interest was only temporary, and the enthusiasm might dissipate after these three minutes. What's more important is that he majored in spirit animal breeding, so he was destined to be different from the students of Dawn Academy.
Discussing the science of spiritual beasts with students from Daybreak Academy, he was more of a listener.
The shallowness of basic theory makes it difficult for him to have his own opinions.
When encountering a theoretical defense in a small group, Mu Feng felt that no matter what he heard, he felt that everything made sense, but he was unable to establish his own unique point of view to examine other people's points of view.
One month felt very short to Mu Feng.
When it was time to leave school, Mu Feng said goodbye to the students at Dawn Academy and got on the bus back to Wisdom Academy.
Sitting on the school bus, looking at the scenery of Dawn Academy, Mu Feng suddenly felt strong regret in his heart.
If he had studied hard, he would have had a higher probability of being admitted to Daybreak Academy based on his talent.
But now the deal was done, and he knew it was too late to regret it. This journey was over, and it was time for him to let go of his unrealistic thoughts and return to ordinary life.
After the vehicle left Dawn Academy, it headed straight north.
When night falls, the bustling city scenery fades away, and the main road outside the car window is lined with endless fields.
If you listen carefully, in addition to the roar of vehicle engines, you can also hear the chirping of cicadas and birds.
This is one of the farming areas of Star City and the main food-producing area of Star City. The Wisdom University is located deep in this area.
But the most famous thing here is not the Wisdom Academy, a low-level institution that is inconspicuous in the eyes of the people of Star City, and does not even receive much attention, but a spiritual farming area.
The Lingtian farming area covers an area of five acres.
This spiritual field was originally developed by Jihe Project, using the spiritual field cultivation technology provided by Destiny City.
Ji He, the leader of Star City at the time, believed that the human race must have channels to independently produce spiritual resources and cannot rely entirely on external expansion.
The form of war in the future will gradually move towards a strong-strong confrontation mode. It cannot be as easy as in the early days to disperse a field and then harvest vast amounts of resources. It is easy to encounter strong enemies blocking the way, and spiritual resources will not be obtained for several years.
If it really gets to that point, the human race, which is accustomed to obtaining resources through war, will fall into a development bottleneck.
Ji He defied all opinions and declared war resolutely on the Splitting God Clan because he wanted to open up another battlefield for the human race and give them another channel to obtain resources.
Building spiritual fields is also a key project in Jihe's reform plan.
In the past, most of the resources in Star City could not be copied. Many spiritual plants were stored in the resource library. Once they were used up, there would be no way to obtain them.
By creating a spiritual field, spiritual resources that are in high demand can be planted in batches to achieve stable output.
In order to cultivate these five acres of spiritual land, Star City paid a lot of money to buy the relevant technology from the merchants of Destiny City.
The main function of these five acres of spiritual land is not to produce resources. After all, the output of five acres of land cannot solve the fundamental problem for Star City.
Ji He's perspective when considering issues is always based on the future development of the human race.
This spiritual field is planned to be a pilot area for building spiritual fields by the Ji River. If the technology to create spiritual fields is feasible and the maintenance consumption is sufficient, then the future new city "Dawn City" will use this technology as the basis to launch batches of spiritual fields.
Made in Tian.
This is the precious wealth Jihe left to future generations.
Unfortunately, Ji He could not see the appearance of Lingtian until his death.
This five-acre spiritual field is one of Jihe's many Star City reform plans adopted by the re-established Star City Supreme Council after Ji He's death.
In fact, Jihe still has many reform plans.
Every reform considers the future development of the human race from a long-term perspective.
But Ji He only implemented part of his many reform plans. Facing his aging self, even if he had the intention, he could no longer persist.
But there is no doubt that many of Jihe's plans have had a profound impact on Star City, pushing Star City to the position of the strongest force in the surrounding area.
This is also the reason why more and more people are rehabilitating Ji He.
History will confuse the authorities. People in the future will have completely different discoveries when they look at Jihe from the perspective of bystanders.
As someone who was born after Ji He, Mu Feng felt that he liked Ji He quite a lot.
But if he had been born in Ji He's era, he felt that he would definitely hate Ji He, and even hate Ji He for making him become a victim of Star City's development.
The joys and sorrows of history are never connected.
Pre-Cataclysm history also contains many similar examples.
For example, before the disaster, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, wasting people and money, which put a lot of pressure on the economy at that time and gradually caused social conflicts.
Looking at the problem from the perspective of contemporary people, their substantial interests have been harmed, and they have even paid the price with their lives.
But looking at the problem from the perspective of future generations is completely different.
The excavated canal has always been one of the most important transportation channels. A large amount of southern taxes were transported to the north through waterways, achieving better economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south.
The crime is in the present time, but the merit is in the future, which can also be a good description of Ji He's series of reform actions.
In terms of the construction of Dawn City alone, Jihe recruited the Yinyue people to become one of the main forces in the construction of Dawn New City. He also created multiple pilot areas and made a lot of preparations for the construction of Dawn New City, with many achievements.
The car was driving fast, and Mu Feng had a lot of thoughts.
An hour later, the school bus drove into the dilapidated Smart University and finally stopped directly in front of the dormitory building.
After pushing his luggage back to the room, Mu Feng simply tidied up and started to wash up. Then he lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Early next morning.
The sound of music playing from an old stereo sounded in the corridor of the dormitory, and Mu Feng woke up at this time.
After getting up and washing up, he followed the troops to the school restaurant.
He picked up the dinner plate and followed the crowd to the food collection area. Looking at the dozens of simple dishes in the self-service food collection area, he looked slightly embarrassed.
He was used to the delicacies of Dawn Academy, and suddenly returned to normalcy, which really made him unable to adapt.
But after a brief adjustment of his mentality, he started to get food.
After all, life has to be lived steadily, and the days of visiting and studying at Dawn Academy should be regarded as a dream.
He has to face reality eventually.
Thinking of this, Mu Feng reached out and took out a few steamed buns, then picked up a metal spoon and poured a large bowl of vegetable soup. At this time, he heard the old aunt standing aside asking:
"Young man, don't waste so much fighting."
Mu Feng felt ashamed after hearing these words.
If you are poor, be poor. There are so many things to do. This shabby school is really bad. If I couldn't drop out, I would run away with a bucket overnight.
With a bad mood, Mu Feng came to an empty seat and sat down after taking his meal.
After opening his mouth and taking a sip of vegetable soup, Mu Feng's expression suddenly changed:
"Fuck, it's so salty, it's really unpalatable. Even the spiritual beasts at Dawn Academy can eat better than me!"
