Today is Fang Ge’s seventh day joining the Institute of Human Evolution.
After a week of adaptation, she finally got used to the thin air of the plateau, and her previous tinnitus, headache, chest tightness and shortness of breath disappeared without a trace.
During the week, Fang Ge not only adapted to the plateau environment, but also became familiar with the scientific research projects of the Institute of Human Evolution.
The Institute of Human Evolution, as its name suggests, is of course a research institute that studies the direction of human evolution.
However, there were some things in the base that made her extremely surprised, such as two biochemically modified human corpses, which seemed to be the X-gene from outer space.
Today Fang Ge specially launched Nanke Dream World.
In the classroom, Huang Mingzhe, who was preparing to log off after finishing a computational materials course, was stopped by Fang Ge.
"Teacher, I want to chat with you alone."
Huang Mingzhe glanced at her and obviously understood Fang Ge's inner doubts. He nodded and replied: "Okay."
With a snap of the fingers, the classroom dissipated like a dream bubble and turned into a Jurassic restoration world.
"Are you full of doubts?"
Fang Ge nodded: "It seems that the teacher knows the situation of that research institute."
Next to a stream with towering ancient trees, Huang Mingzhe sat on a piece of bluestone. He calmly explained: "Those biochemically modified humans attacked me last year, and the X gene was extracted from them."
"Are there really aliens who attacked the teacher?" Fang Ge's inner doubts did not diminish.
Huang Mingzhe smiled and answered the question: "Do you think there are two identical leaves in this world?"
"Uh..." Fang Ge was confused, and then he frowned and started thinking.
If someone asked this question, she would definitely answer directly that it does not exist, but the teacher's words would definitely have a deeper meaning.
After thinking for a few minutes, Fang Ge still choked out one sentence: "It doesn't exist."
"Quantum mechanics tells us that in the microscopic world, there are countless identical particles in an instant; in the 13 billion light-year visible universe, no one can be sure whether there are two identical leaves; human beings are not alone."
"Human beings are not alone." Fang Ge knew that the teacher was admitting the existence of alien life, and then she asked: "Why do these biochemically modified people appear on the Blue Star? Are alien civilizations already on the Blue Star?"
"We have been looking for the truth about the rice plague at the beginning of this year."
"This..." Fang Ge was shocked. She had studied viruses and bacteria before, and her school had also studied the rice plague that swept the world.
There are various indications that the rice plague fungus has traces of human modification, and this matter has caused quite a stir in the domestic biological community.
It’s scary to think about it…
Huang Mingzhe said with a heavy heart: "There are traitors among human beings. We have been fighting them all these years. Crisis always hangs over Blue Star. Maybe one day the end of the world will come."
"That's it." Fang Ge knew these things for the first time, and then he realized that there was still such darkness hidden in this world.
Huang Mingzhe did not put too much pressure on her: "Don't worry, I have prepared some trump cards. Now you have to start from the X gene and biochemical modification of people, and develop technologies that can allow human beings to evolve."
Fang Ge, who was full of confidence in her teacher, breathed a sigh of relief. If the end of the world suddenly happened, she wouldn't know how to deal with it.
After the two talked, Fang Ge was ready to participate in research work as soon as he returned to the dormitory.
Although Huang Mingzhe's words gave her some peace of mind, the enemies faced by human beings were alien civilizations. Fang Ge did not relax his vigilance. Unknown enemies were the most troublesome.
With a sense of urgency, Fang Ge quickly stepped into the role. At this moment, she was no longer a student or girl, but a warrior of human civilization.
…
In the laboratory, Li Jiahang arranged a study on X gene induced mutation for Fang Ge, which is to use various compounds or high-energy rays to achieve X gene mutation.
In the institute, there are six researchers working in this direction, and Fang Ge is one of them.
After browsing the laboratory logs and related internal papers, she did not conduct experiments immediately, but was thinking about some questions.
The X gene is most likely the gene of alien organisms, and its genes are essentially different from the genes of blue star organisms.
Although there are two biochemically modified humans, no one knows how many experimental subjects the G organization sacrificed to create two biochemically modified humans.
According to animal experiments conducted by the Institute of Human Evolution, the mortality rate of animals fused with the X gene is still as high as 76.93%, even at the smallest mutation dose.
Not to mention that under large-dose injection, the mortality rate is close to 98%. The only surviving chimpanzee also died of systemic organ failure after persisting for 81 hours.
Fang Ge also browsed the gene sequence and characteristics of the X gene.
"What are you thinking, Xiaoge?" her partner Chen Yalan patted her on the shoulder.
"No, I was thinking about the experiment."
"Don't be so anxious, you just arrived." Chen Yalan comforted.
But Fang Ge just smiled, opened his tablet, and while reading the internal papers, recorded some contents from time to time.
In the dead of night, after reading twenty-four internal papers in the past few days, she could already initially understand the progress of the institute.
In fact, the Institute of Human Evolution has been established for more than half a year, but it can be said that there has been no substantial progress.
On the contrary, some progress has been made in new chitin materials, non-Newtonian liquid materials, and cavernous muscle materials.
Among them, new chitin materials and non-Newtonian materials have entered the stage of small-scale laboratory production.
As for the Institute of Human Evolution, there are no substantial results at all. After all, Li Jiahang and others are very cautious when it comes to genetic research. In addition, the time is very short, so it is surprising that they can produce results.
However, Fang Ge did gain some data.
Sitting at the desk, she was looking at her notes, which contained the data and some ideas and questions she had recorded over the past few days.
After combing through the notes, Fang Ge was suddenly stunned, and she quickly opened the laptop on the side.
Then open the search engine and enter keywords to search [science fiction, comics, Japanese]
Soon a large number of comic links popped up. Just like science fiction novels, Blue Star's science fiction movies and science fiction comics have only become popular in the past few years.
The rankings of Fantasy House's science fiction comics are [First place: Three-Body Problem... Second place: Wandering Starry Sky... Third place... Seventh place: Forced Breeding Armor...]
Fang Ge's eyes suddenly lit up. When she was in college, one of her roommates was a science fiction fan, and she occasionally watched some.
I opened Wandering Starry Sky and read the introduction briefly, and then opened the Strong Breeding Armor and read the introduction again.
Both comics have a similar technology - bio-based armor technology.
Among them, "The Wandering Starry Sky", which is called a science fiction textbook by domestic science fiction fans, is not only the work of her teacher, but also has been studied very thoroughly by many science fiction fans.
There are even specialized technical forums dedicated to discussing the technologies and theories involved.
Fang Ge opened the post bar and found a professional bio-based discussion post. While browsing, he wrote down some of the imaginative ideas on it.
Watching the science fiction movie "Wandering in the Starry Sky" again, especially the scene with biological armor, made Fang Ge even more excited.
Combining some characteristics of the X gene and various current technologies, a unique research and development direction appeared in front of her.
