Chapter 5 Gene Evolution and Scaling Up Experiments
Chapter 5 Gene Evolution and Expanding Experimental Scale
A holographic projection of the human body appeared in the line of sight, covering hundreds of light spots from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and densely marked with complicated text explanations.
This means that these places will undergo structural evolution.
Humans have more than 600 muscles, including skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles. Most of the skeletal muscles that contract freely and dominate body movements are skeletal muscles, but the genetic engineering system labels not only skeletal muscles, nor just muscles, but all at once.
The evolution of orientation.
The muscles have become more sophisticated and complex, and the number has increased to more than 3,000. If the muscles used to be crude human-pulled carts, now they are turbocharged internal combustion engines. The power has not only doubled or tripled?
And not only the structure, type, and quantity of muscles have changed, but even bones, blood, cell components, etc. have also undergone a selection and evolution.
Just like shooting a bow, not only must the bow be good, but the arrow must also not be too brittle, otherwise it will disintegrate in mid-air, where can it hurt the enemy?
"The genetic engineering system refines body data and calculates growth data!"
As Zhao Ming became more familiar with the genetic engineering system, he became more proficient and more comfortable in operating it.
"Set the initial strength value to one, speed to one, defense to one, resistance to one, and show specificity."
【Setting】
[Set successfully]
Administrator: Zhao Ming
Strength value: 1(+3)
Defense:1(+3)
Speed:1(+1)
Resistance:1(+1)
After the setting was successful, Zhao Ming had an intuitive concept of the genetically optimized body increase. The data was rough and intuitive.
There is no doubt that the first genetic optimization experiment was successful, the results were significant, and the effect was impressive.
"Um?"
While deep in thought, Zhao Ming discovered the mark above the human body projection on the system interface: 1/10, with an arrow on each side.
He clicked lightly and the mark changed to 2/10.
Only then did he remember the specific meaning of 'Gene Optimization Plan: 10'.
By screening more than 800 samples, that is, more than 800 gene evolution plans, there is naturally not only one optimal gene evolution plan.
But a full ten!
Zhao Ming was excited and slowly explored each one, with his expression sometimes excited, sometimes frowning, and very hesitant.
He saw Plan No. 3, which increased the strength by 8, but it would severely damage the human body and turn it into a seven-meter-tall muscular monster, ugly and powerful.
Another example is Plan No. 7, which increases strength by 5 and speed by 5, but will grow four legs and six arms. Zhao Ming shuddered and must not choose this plan!
The ten plans were all screened out from the ancient Yi gene, but the emphasis was different. It was found that the first plan was the most balanced, in line with human aesthetics, and as exquisite as a David sculpture. It has a violent beauty, but is not obtrusive and ugly.
Soon, he chose the first plan.
And try to start the first genetic evolution.
"Evolution takes a period of as short as a few weeks or as long as a few months. This is a difficult problem!"
Zhao Ming discovered an urgent problem, which was that the reserve energy of the landing cabin was about to be exhausted. There was still food and the water production system was still maintained, but the power energy was about to be exhausted.
The landing capsule was extremely advanced and was originally driven by nuclear fusion, but the executive officer responsible for his exile took away the nuclear fusion device because an exile had used the nuclear fusion drive to build a starship on a certain abandoned planet and left the planet prison.
Therefore, the later landing modules could only store a small amount of energy, and also had light energy collection devices, fuel devices and human power generation, but they no longer had the conditions for interstellar navigation.
Zhao Ming looked at the power that was about to bottom out in the main control room and frowned.
There are tall vegetation and jungles all around, making it impossible to effectively replenish light energy, and oil is a no-brainer.
Hundreds of years ago, you might have been able to find a gas station here to get some oil, but over the past thousand years, everything has rotted away, and occasionally you can only see ruins, showing the mottled traces left by civilization.
"The process of genetic evolution will carry out extremely fast and complex chemical reactions, consuming a lot of energy. I must have enough food and water supplements, and I need a safe shelter."
There is no need to find shelter, the landing module is navigation grade and extremely tough.
It’s enough to store food, but definitely not enough water!
The water-making system required for water relies on the power of the landing cabin to operate.
Electricity is about to be depleted unless inefficient human power generation is carried out.
"If the landing module loses power, I'm afraid it's no longer absolutely safe."
Zhao Ming secretly cursed that human power generation is similar to wind energy, water energy and other power generation methods. It converts kinetic energy into electrical energy for storage, but compared to the wind that roars around the world and the surging rivers and oceans, human power is insignificant.
Even though he worked hard to generate electricity for 24 hours, it was only enough to light the energy-saving light at the hatch door for three hours.
"It seems that in order to complete genetic evolution, we need to solve the problem of power generation first."
Zhao Ming gritted his teeth, because in order to solve the problem, he had to leave the landing cabin and explore Laoshan Farm to find supplies.
And Laoshan Farm is extremely dangerous to Zhao Ming.
"How wonderful it would be if a shovel could go down and dig out the oil!"
In order to avoid this risk, he worked hard and reviewed his knowledge of more than 20 years many times.
Modify a steam engine to generate electricity?
There is feasibility, but this thing cannot be separated from human power and cannot completely liberate productivity.
Transform human power generation devices into wind power or hydropower?
This has great operability. As long as a gear device is constructed and a windmill is installed on top, electrical energy can be stored. However, there are still problems of high loss and low efficiency.
And there's a bigger problem.
Erecting a windmill will attract the attention of wild animals. After all, erecting a large pole and spinning the windmill will increase the risk around the landing bay.
For water energy, the landing module needs to be moved near the river, which will consume a lot of energy. The energy may be exhausted before it arrives, and the gain outweighs the gain.
"Damn, this won't work, that won't work either!"
Zhao Ming gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in the main control room with his hands behind his back, unsure of what to pay attention to.
At this moment, his eyes lit up when he saw the super ant he had collected.
One ant may have limited power, but what if there are thousands of super ants?
Modify a fan-shaped power generation device and let countless ants push it, constantly pushing the device to operate, continuously generating electrical energy to supply the landing cabin.
How feasible is this?
Limited by the size and number of ants, it is destined to be unable to maintain the overall operation of the landing capsule.
However, if the power generation device and the Chaos Field No. 1 are integrated to build a semi-enclosed larger-scale test site, and the restrictions on the entry of insects are relaxed, external insects can be continuously replenished and added to the labor force.
The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes!
Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, this was like killing two birds with one stone.
It can not only expand the scale of the test, but also solve the problem of power generation.
If the two are carried out at the same time, perhaps after the dormant evolution is completed, more excellent genes can be selected and a greater transformation can be carried out.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Ming started working immediately.
Write and complete the test plan in the main control room.
While thinking and adding, it was not until late at night that Zhao Ming rubbed his temples and raised his head from the desk, his eyes shining brightly under his tired face.
Modify the generator device and build a semi-enclosed test site. Thirteen A4 sheets of paper were filled!
Zhao Ming closed the test plan, and the cover clearly read:
"Experimental Plan for the Construction of Civilization in the Chaos Realm and the Great Evolution of All Insects"
