Chapter 698
Old Yang explained on stage: "Yes, everyone guessed it. The virus sample created by Level 5 civilization is a bargaining chip they proposed. The other party is so solemnly vowed, It shouldn’t be fabricated randomly, but it’s actually in hand."
The Green Star civilization has disappeared, but the technological heritage of this Level 5 civilization is still in this world, everyone Can't help but improve their concentration.
Through a virus, you may be able to crack more about Mystery of Life.
Old Yang continued: "...This kind of virus can't be said to be a completely indiscriminate infection, but many animals of Karina Star have been recruited. The creatures of the same planet, The genetic material always has a large degree of similarity. Isn’t human genes similar to Paramecium? By the same token, most organisms on the hemispherical home planet are infected..."
"But this virus It may not necessarily be able to infect humans, because the two different planet species are still very different."
"...If the two sides cooperate in all aspects, hemispheric civilizations can provide virus samples in this area for joint research. ."
Level 5 biological samples created by civilization. Several experts specializing in biology showed interest.
The gene virus from Level 5 civilization can be regarded as a killing move of hemispheric civilization, but the other party did not hide it, but directly and transparently said it, indicating that it did not use it against humans Intent.
This has won everyone's favor.
Of course, even if hemispheres secretly use this virus on humans, humans will not necessarily be caught. Because with careful preparation, the other party did not obtain the human genetic code. And people are well prepared for defensive measures in this area.
One of the experts said: “The virus is dangerous, but it is indeed valuable for research. As long as the security is properly controlled, there should be no problem. We are already a Level 4 civilization, and can be a level 5 civilization. The remaining technology should be researched to further enhance biotechnology and improve the prevention and treatment capabilities in this area."
Zhang Yuan frowns said: "You don’t take it lightly...I’m thinking, the original hemisphere people How did you get it? Are you so careless in the face of an unknown virus?"
"They all know that the life of the first era was killed by the virus, how can it be Release this virus."
A deputy captain shook the head: "Old Zhang, what era do you want to see? Equivalent to our end of the 20th century, the beginning of the 21st century! That! In the ages, more explorers died. The original hemispheric civilization was in the archeological frenzy. When they encountered scientific relics, how could they manage so much?"
"Their science and technology are underdeveloped, could it? Can’t you go to the Arctic and Antarctic expeditions while wearing a full-service and armed spacesuit? It will open as soon as the museum is open. Moreover, I seriously suspect that the people in the hemisphere have been infected with the mutant virus when they were digging the glacier."
"Okay." Zhang Yuan accepted this statement.
"And then, what about the next history?"
"Next, after the resurrection of the alien virus, a terrifying plague was born naturally!" Old Yang saw that everyone in the audience listened very carefully, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment as a teacher.
He continued: "...The original perfect virus is very mild and highly infectious, but there are no obvious symptoms. It will only destroy the reproductive cells of life and prevent life from reproducing. ."
"But now it has begun to mutate at a terrifying speed, infecting various creatures, and large quantities of creatures can’t reproduce! And this kind of mutation is becoming more and more widespread, and various concurrencies have appeared. Diseases, animals and plants began to die in large numbers."
"These complications have successfully attracted the attention of hemispheric civilization."
They suddenly realized that those damned, extinct The multi-ball human virus, I don’t know how it was resurrected!
And also infected their hemispheres!
Hemisphere civilization once wanted to control the spread of the virus, but the overwhelming majority of creatures will be infected with this virus, but some symptoms are obvious, some symptoms are not so obvious. These animals run around and birds are everywhere. Flying indiscriminately, all the places they go have become epidemic areas, and the seas, land, and lakes have all appeared plagues. How can they be controlled?
So, like the multi-sphere civilization, hemisphere civilization fell into a more desperate situation...
This is the first time their entire civilization has encountered a huge crisis!
Old Yang didn't sell the key, and directly stated the final solution: "The world enters the doomsday mode, the social order immediately collapses, and the population is rapidly declining. Only some scientists are still working hard."
Scientists in the hemisphere civilization have discovered in their research that their nervous system does not know what is going on and is not infected by the virus. These extraterrestrial viruses cannot enter nerve cells and use free nucleotides to assemble, which may be related to the membrane structure of nerve cells.
"So in the end, in order to survive, they turned themselves into this kind of bionics model of the brain in the tank... Although it is strange, it is alive anyway. And it uses the first One era, the research results of multi-ball civilizations."
"so that's how it is! Understood!" Zhang Yuan hissed for a long time. Normal civilization will not make itself like this. Yes, but in a desperate situation, in order to survive, there is no way. Who will let science and technology fail to solve this problem?
The survival problem is temporarily solved, and the next thing is about the reproduction of species. There is no way to reproduce with a brain alone.
The average lifespan of people in the hemisphere is about 120 years old. Although the unfathomable mystery has improved the lifespan a lot through this brain-in-tank model, if there is no next generation, it will be extinct sooner or later.
There are some uninfected germ cells in the biological gene bank, which are well preserved. But the normal lifeform will soon be re-infected in this virus-filled environment, so it will eventually become the "brain in the tank" to survive...
When the germ cells are used up, hemispheric civilization will still be extinct.
"So, in order to reduce the trouble, the Hemispheres have developed a special cloning technique. This cloning technique is like 3D organ printing, which can directly'print out' the brain of a newborn! Say, a new-born baby has no other organs except the brain. It has to use bionic organs to survive..."
"You think, since the heart, liver, kidney and other organs can Cloning with organs...then the brain is also theoretically possible."
Hearing this, a scientist asked: "Hemispheres have such a technology? This technology is still very difficult, right? "
Old Yang said with a bitter smile: "Their biotechnology is just barely passing. Mainly because the multi-sphere civilization of the first era has been frantically researching this type of technology, but The multi-sphere civilization did not completely solve it, and it went extinct. Until the second era, the hemisphere civilization had perfected these technologies before they could barely use it."
"They applaud as soon as they were happy. Culture, it’s likely that the technology at that time was too bad and it was left behind."
Someone asked, "Wait a minute, I have a question. Why didn’t they create an artificial aseptic area? How about cultivating normal infants and young children?"
Yang Fan shook the head: "Your idea is very good, but it is not realistic to implement it. At that time, the hemisphere talents were barely 0.9 level civilization, and the productivity was not like that. We are like this now."
"To raise the next generation of children, at least a population of millions or even tens of millions, these little children need to eat and wear, and have a lot of material needs."

"When the outside world is full of viruses, how big a sterile area they need to build to meet such a big demand...The social system has collapsed, and it is no longer impossible to be like before."
