Universe dominance

"call!"

Yan Jia was dripping with sweat, with big beads of sweat on her beautiful face. She was very tired at this time, but she was also very excited. She could clearly see the scene just now, and her understanding of life. Regarding the understanding of genes, many things that had always confused me disappeared, but at the same time, more and more doubts emerged.

"It would be better if I just held on a little longer."

Yan Jia was a little annoyed that she couldn't hold on for a little longer. It was still a bit reluctant to activate the Heart of Life with her Yuan Lord level cultivation, and she couldn't hold on for too long. The Heart of Life sucked her in like a bottomless abyss. of vitality.

"Yan Jia, are you okay?"

Sun Xinyuan came up to help her up and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that my energy is exhausted. I just need to practice for a while. Thank you."

Yan Jia smiled and shook her head.

Because Yan Jia's Yuanli has been exhausted, the empire cannot find another Yuanli practitioner who has cultivated the life force to the Yuan Lord level. There are some life force practitioners at the Yuanshi level, but practitioners at this level simply cannot There is no way to activate the Heart of Life. The amount of Yuan Power consumed to activate the Heart of Life is too huge. Even at the Yuan Lord level, it seems reluctant. Only when you reach the Immortal level can you be able to do it with ease.

Although it is not possible to continue to activate the heart of life to demonstrate the mystery of life for the time being, the scientists of the empire have also gained a lot this time. The scientists of the empire who have watched this scene in person have been greatly inspired by their understanding of life. There has been a more rapid development.

At the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences, a large group of experts in the field of biological sciences in the Empire were having a heated discussion. Although Yan Jia’s vitality had not fully recovered, she had no problem attending some academic conferences. As Li Fu He Taishan, the originator of the imperial biological research field, cannot be absent. What's more, last time, he witnessed a magical scene with his own eyes. Li Fu also gained a lot of inspiration and wanted to communicate with other scientists.

"We used to think that the YX003 gene fragment was a gene fragment for division and reproduction, but now it seems that we were completely wrong. It should actually belong to a regrowth gene sequence. This can also explain why we have been performing gene recombination. There will be problems with the reproduction of new species.”

A scientist was expressing his opinion in front of the virtual image. An image of a gene fragment was enlarged and played in the virtual image.

With the development of the empire's biotechnology technology, the most focused research direction is actually genetic research, because genes are the foundation of biology, and the directions of genetic research can be subdivided into many categories, such as genetic recombination, genetic mutagenesis, genetic programming, etc. , it is obvious that the scientist on stage specializes in genetic recombination.

The world of genes is like the vast universe. Various genes have been combined to form completely different species. However, although the types of living things are very large and vast, in the final analysis, everything is ultimately genes. determined.

For example, organisms are used to reproduce, although the way each organism reproduces is completely different. For example, plants use seeds to reproduce and cell division to reproduce. Birds, fish, etc. use laying eggs to reproduce. Mammals The reproduction method is completely different from that of plants, birds and animals, etc.

But in essence, the gene fragments used by organisms to reproduce are all the same. They all evolve from the most basic initial reproduction gene fragment, and eventually evolve into various reproduction gene fragments such as one, two, three, and four.

Another example is obtaining energy from the outside world. The way plants obtain energy is relatively simple and direct. Plants rely on roots to obtain nutrients from the soil, and rely on leaves to receive sunlight for photosynthesis. Animals basically rely on eating plants or other animals and plankton to obtain energy and nutrients for survival.

Although these two methods are very different, they are essentially two gene segments that evolved from eating gene segments. We all know that there are also carnivorous plants among plants, such as piranha flowers and man-eating trees. Plants are also very common in the interstellar universe, and animals themselves also retain some genes that directly obtain the nutrients they need from nature. For example, animals generally need to eat salt, and cold-blooded animals such as snakes and crocodiles need to bask in the sun. Raise your own body temperature, etc.

The scientists of the empire studied genes and then classified and summarized various genes. For example, they divided genes into reproduction genes, feeding genes, immunity genes, perception genes, etc. There are many types, and each major category of genes The following can be subdivided into many subcategories of genes.

Of course, there are many ways to classify genes. Now there is a relatively new classification method, high-level genes and low-level genes. This classification is the key point of distinguishing high-level organisms from low-level organisms. Scientists believe that the reason why advanced organisms are advanced organisms is That's because among the various gene fragments, the genes of advanced organisms are the primitive genes that have evolved to a relatively advanced stage and have a large number of advanced genes.

In addition to low-level genes and high-level genes, the empire's scientists believe that there are two more advanced genes, the wisdom gene and the god gene. The wisdom gene is naturally easy to understand. The empire's scientists study countless civilized races in the galaxy, and each civilization Although the races are completely different in form, etc., the difference in intelligence is not too big. Without intelligence, it is naturally impossible to create civilization.

The reason why humans are different from animals is that humans possess intelligence. Scientists believe that human ancestors have unintentionally evolved intelligence genes, so humans can continue to thrive.

Experts and scholars in the humanities field of the Empire study the development history of various civilizations in the galaxy. Basically, scientists of each civilization have conducted in-depth research on the origins of their own civilized races. Almost all civilized races believe that they can have Unlike wild beasts that can create civilization, almost everyone believes that there is a gene for intelligence in their genes.

As for the divine gene, this is an inferred result drawn by imperial scientists from their research on Yuanli and Yuanli practitioners. Advanced Yuanli practitioners have the terrifying ability to destroy the heavens and earth, and traverse the void of the universe, while those who do not practice Yuanli In comparison, there is no difference between ordinary people and ants. The empire's scientists believe that the reason for this huge gap is the existence of the divine gene.

Through the cultivation of Yuan Li, under the nourishment and cultivation of Yuan Li, some low-level genes in the human body will evolve, slowly evolving into divine genes, and thus possessing all kinds of incredibly powerful abilities.

For example, Yuanli practitioners have a very long lifespan, while ordinary people only have a lifespan of less than a hundred years. After research, scientists determined that all this is actually the division of cells. The number of cell divisions is limited. When cells divide to the limit, people It will naturally age and die.

Naturally, genes determine cell division. This type of gene is called lifespan gene. Low-level lifespan genes cause cells to divide less often, and the lifespan of cells is short, which is why there are summer insects. Most insects are It cannot last more than a year, but relatively advanced lifespan genes can allow cells to divide more times and make cells live longer, so most advanced animals have longer lifespans.

The lifespan gene is nourished by Yuanli, allowing the lifespan gene to evolve and become a god gene. The number of cell divisions can be increased infinitely, and the lifespan of the cell itself can also be continuously extended.

Originally, cells may only have a lifespan of 10 days and can only divide a million times. However, after evolving to the stage of divine genes, they have a lifespan of 100 or 1,000 years and can divide tens of millions or billions of times. This lifespan is Naturally, it is endless.

Low-level genes, high-level genes, wisdom genes, and divine genes are the four stages of gene evolution. They are also the four stages of biological evolution. Of course, they are only the current understanding of biology and genes by imperial scientists.

Low-level genes can slowly evolve towards higher-level genes under the prompting of external conditions or internal conditions. Of course, this evolutionary process must be very, very slow, and the time required is calculated in hundreds of millions of years. Countless mutations will definitely occur during this process, and eventually the fittest will slowly survive, the winners will weed out the losers, and excellent genes will be passed on from generation to generation.

This is most fully reflected in the evolutionary history of humans on earth. Scientists studying the evolutionary history of humans found that at a certain stage, about 2.5 million years ago, multiple human races existed on the earth at the same time. People in East Africa Homo rhododendron, Homo erectus in East Asia, Neanderthals in West Asia, and so on.

The races mentioned here are fundamentally different from yellow, black, and white people. The above-mentioned types of people have species reproductive isolation between them, and they are unable to reproduce with each other.

But about 20,000 years ago, there was only one human race left on the earth, and that was Homo sapiens, which is now commonly known as the ancestor of human beings. The reason why Homo sapiens can stand out among many human races is that In fact, it relies on the wisdom genes evolved by Homo sapiens. Although other human species have many similarities with humans, they have not evolved wisdom genes, and there is still no essential difference from beasts and so on.

Under fierce competition and natural elimination, the intelligent Homo sapiens finally slowly defeated other human races, adapted to nature better, and finally ruled the earth!
