Chapter 54: destroy gene
A higher civilization?
Xiao Yu imagined many possibilities, but he never thought that this matter could be involved with advanced civilization.
According to the definition of civilization by human society, civilization should be composed of social and natural behaviors that make human beings out of barbarism. In the interstellar era, civilization has been given a new definition, and its existence may not even require the promotion of humans, because humans are not the only ones in the universe who can create civilizations.
Other intelligent creatures also have the ability to create civilization.
There will also be collisions and blends between civilizations, just like human society. Early humans would expand their own civilizations through wars and devour other civilizations. Later, humans entered a relatively peaceful stage, and the mutual penetration and integration between civilizations was itself a battle without gunpowder.
There is no hierarchy of civilizations, but civilizations develop at different speeds. Strong civilizations outperform weak civilizations in every aspect. Under the absolute suppression of force, civilization levels emerge as the times require.
According to the original book, the Federation is a second-tier civilization, as are the Independent Army and the Mermaid Civilization.
The high-level civilization that Afton calls is likely to be a third-level or even a fourth-level civilization.
Ji Canghai was also surprised when he heard this answer, but he quickly suppressed the surprise in his eyes: "You said that the genetic defects of mermaids are also the work of advanced civilizations?"
Afton nodded heavily: "The rapid development of mermaid civilization made them feel threatened, so they used a highly concealed virus to change the gene sequence of mermaids. This virus is called TW6 virus, and it The concealment and infectivity of the virus are very strong, but it is slightly inferior in terms of lethality. As you know, it is impossible for any virus to have both lethality and concealment. The TW6 virus abandons the lethality and will affect the key Put it on Alpha's pheromone gene, so that all merman Alphas will be infected with this virus."
Xiao Yu couldn't help asking him: "In that case, why can the mermaid Omega's spiritual power cure this virus?"
Afton patiently explained: "As I said, it is impossible for any virus to be both lethal and concealed. The power of the TW6 virus caused the mermaid's gene to be damaged, and at the same time, a gene resistant to the TW6 virus also appeared. , this gene is attached to the Omega pheromone gene. With the passage of time and the change of generations, the emergence of anti-viral genes will be less harsh, and perhaps in the near future, this gene will appear in the mermaid Bate or even Alpha , which is why advanced civilizations want to study the mermaid Bate."
Is this the aggression method of advanced civilization? It is too cruel.
It's hard for Xiao Yu not to feel sad for the mermaid population, being targeted by jackal-like advanced civilizations, even living and working in peace and contentment is a luxury.
"I've told you what you want to know, and I will send back all the traded mermaids as soon as possible, and I hope you will keep your promise." Afton pondered for a moment, "If possible, I still want to meet the mermaids in person. A mermaid Omega."
Ji Canghai flatly refused: "That's impossible."
It is impossible for him to let others know that Xiao Yu is the mermaid Omega, especially when Afton told them about the conspiracy of advanced civilization. Since it is known that the mermaid Omega can solve the genetic defects of the mermaid family, once Xiao Yu's identity is exposed, the advanced civilization will never let him go easily.
He looked at the thoughtful Xiao Yu beside him, suppressed the urge to hide Xiao Yu, and took Xiao Yu away from Afton's mansion.
After returning to the spaceship, Xiao Yu asked him what his plans were.
Now that Afton knew Ji Canghai's identity, he didn't need to attend the invitation from Twilight Forest. The two also exchanged contact information. They just needed to contact Ji Canghai after Afton rescued the mermaid sent to a high-level civilization. .
If there is no accident, their spaceship can now travel to Chang Gung Star.
But the problem is, there is still a group of captive mermaids on this spaceship, and how to deal with them is also a problem.
Ji Canghai wanted to know what Xiao Yu thought, so he threw the question back to him: "Then what do you think?"
"Me?" Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then he thought seriously, "You know my origin, to be honest, I don't really want to have anything to do with the mermaid clan, but if I am really the only hope for mermaids to cure genetic defects, I'm still willing to help them, as long as it doesn't waste too much of my time and energy."
Hearing the expected answer, Ji Canghai shook his head and laughed: "Xiao Yu, you are still too kind. Do you think the mermaid may let you go if they know your identity?"
Obviously not.
Xiao Yu sighed, it is impossible for him to put himself in danger and **** in order to help the mermaid, he has never been this kind of self-sacrificing character, let alone he has no sense of belonging to the mermaid.
"Then release those mermaids directly," Xiao Yu said uncertainly, "They should be able to find their way back, right?"
Ji Canghai laughed and said: "If you are really worried, you can ask Afton to send them back to the mermaid planet."
Xiao Yu shook his head: "I have nothing to worry about, I just worry about letting them wander outside, there is no guarantee that they will not say something, let the advanced civilization notice us. We have not yet the ability to compete with the advanced civilization, Ya Fu Dun's attitude is ambiguous, and I don't trust him very much."
Afton's trust was delivered too quickly, which made him feel that something was wrong from the bottom of his heart.
But what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
"It's okay, advanced civilizations don't care about what these mermaids say," Ji Canghai reassured, "Advanced civilizations don't have the time to pay attention to this group of insignificant mermaids, they are thinking hard every day about how to occupy the ownerless or the ownerless resource star."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, relieved a little, and couldn't help complaining to Ji Canghai: "Advanced civilizations can actually change the genes of mermaids, has their biotechnology developed to this level?"
Ji Canghai: "The technology of advanced civilizations is indeed unmatched by second-level civilizations, but it is not to the extent that it is against the sky. It is difficult to create something, but it is much easier to destroy it, especially complex and delicate like genes. As long as a sequence is moved a little, the expression of the entire gene will change a lot. Xiao Yu, you don’t have to worry too much. The contradictions between advanced civilizations are also very fierce, and they dare not rashly violate the "Interstellar Law" Otherwise, it will become the target of public criticism."
Xiao Yu nodded thoughtfully. If it weren't for the constraints of the "Interstellar Law", advanced civilizations would not need to subtly interfere with the progress of mermaid civilization by destroying genes.
Subtle?
Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something: "You said, is there a possibility that a high-level civilization can implant a chip in the human brain and help an ordinary person grow into a generation of generals?"
Ji Canghai only thought he was thinking wildly, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "What kind of novel is this? The information on the star network is mixed, just read it, don't take it too seriously."
Xiao Yu had a faint guess in his heart, he urged Ji Canghai: "Don't interrupt, just ask you if it's possible?"
"So serious?" Ji Canghai shuddered, realizing that Xiao Yu wasn't joking with him, and his face became a bit more serious, "Fang Xiu knows more about technical things than I do, let's ask him."
Xiao Yu followed Ji Canghai to find Fang Xiu, and he asked the question again.
Fang Xiu is worthy of being a person who specializes in this way, and quickly gave a reply: "The conjecture that the chip controls the human brain has been put forward a long time ago, and it is the Utopian civilization that puts forward this conjecture, which is close to human civilization. Level three civilization."
Ji Canghai added: "The Utopian civilization has coveted human civilization for a long time, but due to the existence of the "Interstellar Law", they have no chance to launch an invasion."
"Indeed, because this conjecture is too cruel, related experiments have long been banned." Fang Xiu adjusted his glasses, "But it does not rule out that they study in private. It is still very possible to make some simple instructions according to the requirements of the chip."
Xiao Yu thought for a while: "What if you don't need to make instructions, just talk to those who have been implanted with chips?"
"That's not a problem at all." Fang Xiu replied.
Xiao Yu's pupils shrank slightly. According to the description in the original book, the male protagonist Gu Xijiao woke up one day and suddenly found that he had an extra system. The system only issued tasks and rewards for him, and these rewards were also obtained by mail. The reason why the original book is cool is that although the system has brought many benefits to the host, it has not given it to an outrageous level, allowing the protagonist to grow through life and death again and again.
All the resources obtained through the system actually exist, and there is nothing beyond the setting of the Great Interstellar Era.
Since advanced civilizations can destroy mermaid genes, it is also possible to modify human genes and improve human physique.
So is there a possibility that the utopian civilization’s invasion of human civilization has been planned for a long time, the so-called system in the original book is actually a chip or a tool for the utopian civilization to control Gu Xijiao to achieve a certain purpose.
"If there is a chip hidden in the brain, can it be detected by an instrument?" Xiao Yu asked hastily.
Fang Xiu gave an affirmative answer: "Even if the chip implanted in the brain uses materials with concealment effects, it will still be detected by the particle detector. However, the particle detector is expensive and consumes a lot of energy every time it is used. , can only be seen on the main planets of the major galaxies."
Xiao Yu looked at Ji Canghai: "I suspect that there is a Utopian civilization chip hidden in Gu Xijiao's brain."
Ji Canghai and Xiao Yu exchanged memories, and after Xiao Yu reminded him, he immediately thought of this possibility: "I will send someone to arrest him immediately for inspection."
Fang Xiu said that the particle detector is only available on the main planet of the galaxy.
"Then we set off immediately and return to Changgeng star to wait for the results." Xiao Yu made a final decision.
The author has something to say:
Sorry everyone, it's been so long lately. Now the epidemic in Fuzhou is serious, and the epidemic prevention in surrounding cities is in full swing, so I am also busy.
Considering the repeated epidemics, I have to work overtime frequently, and the grades of this book are mediocre, I decided to finish this novel as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the creation, there were many things I wanted to write, such as Xiao Yu disguised as Alpha to enter the military academy, and met Ji Canghai who was disguised as an instructor; I wanted to write about the **** military academy contest, the contest between various galaxies and civilizations, but the result was backfired. can be written.
I hope the epidemic will end as soon as possible, and I don’t have to make daily calls to record the health system, and I don’t have to accompany Dabai to do nucleic acid tests for the masses, and I don’t have to urge people to go for two tests every three days, and I don’t have to work overtime with my brother every day.
Especially the little angel Shicheng who has been chasing updates, to be honest, you are the driving force for my updates hahaha;
There are also little angels who do not say a word but follow up silently. I love you and love you.
