Voyage of the Stars

Yi Kai still insisted: "No matter what, I think you have to be strong yourself, and there is no better solution than strengthening yourself.

Just imagine, after using some kind of acceleration buffer, we have to soak in the liquid like a fish every time we accelerate. It’s so sticky and uncomfortable. It’s better to directly think of ways to improve the human body’s ability to withstand stress and use the body structure to resist it. really."

"I didn't say I wouldn't do research on body enhancement."

Although Yi Kai's tone was still the same as before, Xu Zhenyi seemed to notice a slight looseness in his words, so he smiled and said: "It is true that you need to be hard to make iron, but currently we do not have a corresponding body strengthening theory. Besides, , even if you can come up with the corresponding theory in a short time, we don’t have that many biological samples for research at the moment!”

"Hey, although not." Yi Kai looked at Xu Zhenyi with a "you don't understand biology" look: "Cell dynamics has been around for a long time, and you haven't heard of artificially enhanced lungs, artificial microelectric pulse hearts, Titanium alloy hydraulic skeleton?”

Speaking of this, Yi Kai saw a look on Xu Zhenyi's face, 'Are you serious? ' With an expression on his face, he quickly smiled and said: "Okay, just kidding, I know that the implantation method is unreliable. After all, strengthening this thing has to start with cells, cell dynamics, cell strengthening, and organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys Bioenhancement has a theoretical basis and is mainly a brain issue. Brain cells are different from other cells in that their operation involves things at the quantum level, and there is indeed no corresponding enhancement theory."

"So" Xu Zhenyi also laughed. Hearing Yi Kai say this, wouldn't it be equivalent to changing his appearance and supporting the priority development of accelerating buffer?

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Yi Kai raised his hand to stop him, and then continued: "There is no direct enhancement, but we have gene editing technology. Do you remember the red liquid?"

Without waiting for Xu Zhenyi to answer, Yi Kai turned to look at Yue Yuan, then opened his palm and pointed at Yue Yuan: "Chief, the blood of the altered gene fragments is flowing in his body now."

"Well, I won't say much about the mechanism of that red liquid. You can go back and read my paper. What I want to say here is that we can use the operating mechanism of that thing for reinforcement. Of course, we need to change one ideas to use.

Since that mechanism can deceive genes, it can also induce genes. We can start from this aspect and explore the genetic changes brought about by that mechanism.

As long as we study it thoroughly, we can even adjust our own genes through induction at will, thereby reproducing various abilities lost during human evolution, including powerful and highly resilient physical functions. "

"Earthworms are still alive and kicking after being divided into eight sections. Many molluscs are still alive after being cut in half. Such powerful genes are still hidden deep in our human genes. As long as we continue on this path, we may not be able to let them play their role again. effect."

"Of course, some gene fragments have been lost during hundreds of millions of years of evolution, but it doesn't actually matter. As I just said, as long as we find its operating mechanism from the appearance of red gas, we can not only The method of induction can activate gene fragments, and can also induce and trick certain fragments into hiding their functions.

By then, we will be able to completely abandon traditional gene editing methods and add and delete human genes to achieve the ideal state we want. "

Looking at Yi Kai talking eloquently, Yue Yuan suddenly wondered if this guy had run out of his serum samples in the laboratory. Now he came here not to discuss which plan to prioritize, but to ask him to donate blood.

Of course, Yue Yuan just brainstormed, but when Yi Kai said this, he remembered something, so he asked: "Dr. Yi, your premise is that you also need a planetary biosphere, right? "

"The more, the better!" Yi Kai replied.

Yue Yuan: "."

The more of anything, the better. You are lucky to have a biosphere, and the more, the better.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Yue Yuan already knew Yi Kai's character in his heart. This was telling him that if humans encountered a primitive planet in the future, they would just take it and be done with it regardless of morality.

Yi Kai has mentioned the matter of the biosphere to Yue Yuan many times. It was only now after the Silver Mist incident that Yue Yuan realized that this guy used to express this euphemistically.

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the Life Sciences Institute to store some serum. In three days, the Hope will enter the hibernation state. During this period, you will also have to hibernate. Two hundred years of life is not a long time. Before the new life potion is developed, , don’t kill yourself to death for me.”

Yue Yuan straightened up from the position where he was leaning on the sofa and made a gesture of getting up: "As for the plan, let's focus on the accelerating buffer first. Dr. Yi Kai, please take it easy first. Just like you said, first Understanding the mechanism by which cells and red gas deceive genes

Oh, by the way, the accelerating buffer must be started after hibernation. Gander has said before that as early as more than a thousand years ago, humans discovered large rocky planets in the Wolf star system through observation.

If everything goes well, we should be there for a long time, and by then humans will have fully spread out, and with more people, things won't be as difficult as they are now. "

Hearing what Yue Yuan said, Yi Kai didn't have any objections. Instead, he focused on the destination: "Well, an extraterrestrial planet detected in the 21st century is still a rocky planet in the habitable zone. I remember this. People at that time seemed to call it a super-Earth, and they didn’t know if there was life.”

"Who knows? But it's best not." Yue Yuan smiled bitterly: "The habitable zone is also defined by humans. Moreover, according to our observations from this position, the giant rocky planet is actually on the inner edge of the habitable zone. Maybe There’s not much sex, most of the universe is a barren planet, it’s not easy to encounter life.”

Technological creations are something else. Yue Yuan added in his mind.

Humanity's choice of Wolf 1061 is also the best choice besides the nearest Barnard's Star. Barnard's Star was excluded because it was afraid that the silver fog would know the route, while other star systems are too far away, and according to astronomers' use of According to various detection methods, most other star systems that are not too far away may not have rocky planets.

The development of humankind requires a large amount of heavy metals, and it cannot do without rocky planets, so the best route at present is to go to Wolf 1061, where there are three rocky planets for humans to squander.

"Okay, let's go back and get ready. We are going to hibernate soon. The Wolfe star system is 14 light-years away from the sun, but it is only 8.1 light-years away from Ross 154. It will be there in just one sleep." Yue Yuan stood up and put the The two scientists were sent away.

It is only 8.1 light-years. I think back then, humans used the word "talent" to cross the distance of 9.4 light-years.

The changes brought about by scientific and technological progress are quite impressive.
