Deep Sea Game: So I'm Already a God

"Because the skin tissue of these mutants has changed, their skin can absorb visible light, but has extremely low tolerance to light other than visible light, especially light beyond the visible light frequency range..."

Dr. Li thought for a moment and felt that the wording seemed a bit too blunt, so he explained again, "Well, it means that it is very sensitive."

Su Ming immediately understood what he meant, "In other words, if they are exposed to slightly higher intensity ultraviolet rays, they will be injured?"

"Smart." Dr. Li praised, and then added: "When facing natural light, the maximum light intensity these mutants can adapt to is the evening on a cloudy day. Even this kind of light will make them

They feel uncomfortable, so they usually only come out at night. For them, moonlight is the most suitable light source."

It sounds a bit like zombies or monsters that eat the moonlight... Su Ming secretly complained, and then asked: "Do they need to absorb a lot of water like plants?"

"No need. They decompose and use the starch produced by photosynthesis in the body, which is basically enough to meet their own consumption, but they will also drink water."

"Then..." Su Ming asked a key question, "Will this trait, which is mutated through genetic medicine, be passed down through reproduction?"

This question made Dr. Li silent for a moment.

"In fact, the genetic medicine set in the original version was heritable, which was equivalent to completely changing the genes of the person being injected. However, this plan was rejected during the voting."

"Some people are worried that this heritable medicine may have unpredictable consequences. Once there is a problem with the medicine and the victim has already produced offspring, it will be very, very troublesome. As for the other group of people, hehe..."

He sneered disdainfully, "The other group of people think that if it is designed this way, the descendants of people who have already taken medicine will not need to buy medicine, which will make them make a lot less money."

"Ha..." Su Ming couldn't help but shake his head and smiled mockingly after hearing this.

He followed the question just now and asked: "That means that if mutants produce offspring, their offspring will still be the same as humans? Can mutants reproduce?"

This time, Dr. Li thought for a while and then said hesitantly: "According to existing research, the main variation point of mutant people is the co-evolution of the skin and respiratory system for photosynthesis, and the gradual degeneration of the digestive system.

."

"Theoretically, there is no mutation in the reproductive system of mutants. They can reproduce and the children they give birth to should be pure humans."

Dr. Li said regretfully: "But the strange thing is that we have not been able to find pregnant mutants or babies born in mutant groups."

"Oh? They can produce pure human offspring, but no babies are born? Could it be that there is something wrong with them, that they have no estrus and no longer mate?"

"Maybe." Dr. Li was noncommittal.

He stopped and pointed to a building in front of him, "Okay, here we are. Once we go up, any building without a name on the door is unoccupied. You can pick whatever you want. The door is unlocked."

"There are basic daily necessities inside, and fresh water resources are still very abundant, but electricity must be used sparingly. I heard that you have been away for a day, so you should rest early today. I also have something to do, and we will come to you tomorrow morning.

your."

"Okay, I understand." Su Ming nodded and watched Dr. Li leave.

In fact, at the end just now, he had some speculations about why mutants were not found to produce offspring, but he did not dare to say anything.

You know, to put it nicely, humans have no estrus, but to put it worse, they are in estrus every day.

Mutants are also transformed from humans. Since the reproductive system of mutants is not affected, the related hormones should not disappear. He does not believe that mutants can restrain the instinct of animals to go into heat.

So, if "pregnant women" and children were not found among the mutant population, there are basically only two possibilities.

First, the mutant population will eliminate pregnant mutants and kill them themselves.

Second, the mutant group will protect "pregnant women" and children from being exposed to human sight.

If it is the first type, then there is another question, what about the corpses of pregnant women after they were killed? The mutant group would not deliberately keep them, right?

According to Su Ming's observations and speculations, these survivor camps should regularly capture mutants during the day for experimentation. If the mutants really kill pregnant mutants on their own, it has been so long.

When humans capture mutants, they should also find the bodies of some "pregnant women".

But since it doesn't, it probably means the first guess is wrong.

Then comes the second possibility, where mutants will protect "pregnant women" and children.

Based on Su Ming's previous observations of mutants in that town, it is very likely that they have reached the level of social animals such as baboons and orangutans, and can simply convey information through their calls.

And the fact that they respond immediately also proves that mutants are a group with a strong "team spirit". It is normal for this kind of group to know how to protect "pregnant women".

Then this has to raise a question: how will the mutants handle the babies that have been born?

According to Dr. Li, the children they give birth to are pure human beings.

Will mutants accept these "abnormal" individuals? If so, how will they raise these human babies who cannot photosynthesize?

Can I just rely on that little bit of breast milk to keep me alive?

Su Ming vaguely felt that this problem was the pitfall his system had left for him. Unfortunately, he had not yet joined the research of these scientists.

"Well, once Dr. Li and the others confirm my identity tomorrow, my status should become very high, and I should be able to have direct access to their research data."

At this moment, he had already gone upstairs.

After scanning around, Su Ming randomly selected an unowned room with no name on the door.

Turning on the light, he found that there were all simple furniture inside, but apart from electric lights, he didn't see any equipment that needed electricity.

"This reminds me to save electricity. There is no place to use electricity here."

Su Ming shook his head and smiled, then went in and lay down directly on the bed.

He was really tired after traveling for so long in the game, and his physical energy level was only 26%. If he didn't rest, he would be in a weak state again.

And he has observed before that if the player just rests without eating, the recovery speed of physical energy will not be affected in the short term, but will become very slow as the time is slightly longer. The longer the time without eating, the faster the recovery of physical energy during rest will be.

The slower.

In the end, it almost stagnated. At best, it could not decline. It was basically impossible to recover.

This kind of "fatigue" will only be refreshed again after eating or consuming physical items.

"Oh, Dr. Li and Dr. Chen were not polite. They knew that I had walked around, but they offered to give me something to eat first. I just came here and I was too embarrassed to ask for this or that. I can only wait until tomorrow.

.”

Sighing, Su Ming turned off the light, jin'ru
