Chapter 272 In front of genes, all living beings are equal

"Good guy!"
Yu Tian instantly understood what they were doing. Sure enough, even Lao Huang couldn't resist some temptations. But it was good for Yang Li. Someone diverted Huang Binghua's attention, so this guy wouldn't have to stay in the laboratory boringly every day.
.
"Brother Tian, ​​sit down and I'll get you some water." Liu Min turned around and walked towards the desk.
Yu Tian looked at Liu Min's desk and found that Liu Min was reading his and Huang Binghua's experimental notes. He was slightly surprised: "Now Huang Binghua will show you this? Can you understand it?"
"Fortunately, I have also awakened, and what I have awakened is my memory and logical analysis ability. I can accept these things very quickly."
"No wonder."
Yu Tian suddenly understood. Yesterday, when he heard Huang Binghua suddenly said that he wanted to accept Liu Min as his disciple, Yu Tian was still a little strange. Now he understood that he was born with the ability to do research. As well as Huang Binghua's graduate students, almost all of them were awakened.
Research-related abilities.
"Perhaps... in addition to genes, the ability to awaken is also related to the individual's mental state and consciousness tendency? The higher the proportion of certain things in the brain of an evolver, the easier it is to awaken related skills?"
This thought flashed through Yu Tian's mind, and he began to think carefully about his past life, and it seemed that the more he thought about it, the more relevant it became.
In previous lives, when many evolvers first awakened, their abilities were related to their work. When I first awakened, it was because I was fighting a group of zombies to the death. At that time, all I could think about was to gain stronger power.
"Let Lao Huang study it later."
This was a rare opportunity, so Liu Min picked up his notes and began to ask about the relevant difficulties of this theory. Yu Tian also tried his best to answer the questions, and two hours passed before he knew it.
Just as he was talking, the door behind him was pushed open with a creak, and Huang Binghua and Yang Li walked into the laboratory arm in arm, both of them beaming with joy.
Yu Tian gasped: "Good guy, Lao Huang, you are finally back. I thought I wouldn't see you tonight."
When Liu Min heard Yu Tian's words, she wanted to cover her face. Huang Binghua's face suddenly turned red, and he was rubbing his head and laughing.
“啊,哈哈哈,这个……”别看黄炳华脑子好使,但在这种事情上应变能力直接等于零,啊啊喔喔半点也蹦出个什么字.
Yu Tian laughed loudly. He just wanted to tease Huang Binghua on purpose, just to take revenge on Yang Li for making fun of him during the day.
Yang Li's face was red, and she waved her little pink fist at Yu Tian twice in a demonstration: "Yu Tian, ​​just wait for me, others can't deal with you, but I have many ways!"
After saying that, Yang Li left Huang Binghua and ran away with a blushing face. Yu Tian had an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong. But then he thought about it and he had no control in Yang Li's hands. What could she do to him?
But these things were soon forgotten by Yu Tian, ​​who doubted that he was here to tell Huang Binghua about the fusion of the pathogen and the nightmare virus.
After hearing what Yu Tian had experienced today, both Huang Binghua and Liu Min looked shocked. Liu Min was so shocked that he knocked the water on the table to the ground.
Yu Tian hurriedly warned: "Liu Min, I have not announced this matter to the outside world. It's okay for you to know but don't tell anyone about it."
"I...I understand." Liu Min nodded with a pale face. The more he studies the nightmare virus and mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae, the more he understands the horror of these two things. If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause a large-scale epidemic.
panic.
"Are you telling the truth? There was a secondary fusion between the nightmare virus and mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae?" Huang Binghua asked in shock.
"Of course." Yu Tian pulled up his clothes to expose his chest. The redness and swelling on the plump muscles had subsided, but there were still red spots the size of pinholes. They were the bleeding left by the skin after strong allergic stress.
point.
"This is what was left after my clothes were soaked with pus sprayed from the mouth of the plague spreader."
Seeing all this, Huang Binghua completely believed it, because he gave Yu Tian a comprehensive and detailed examination before studying Yu Tian's primary resistance gene. He knew better than others how strong Yutian's body was. Just skin contact could actually
For Yu Tian to cause such a severe allergic reaction, the previous mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae would never be able to do so!
Moreover, Huang Binghua doubted that this second-level fusion could invade the human body directly from the skin without going through the mouth and nose!
Huang Binghua swallowed and said solemnly: "Although I know I shouldn't ask, but... have you collected samples?"
Liu Min's face turned pale and she blurted out: "Don't... don't take it out!"
"No, this thing is too dangerous. If you keep it now, it will harm us."
Seeing Yu Tian shaking his head, Huang Binghua and Liu Min both breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Binghua was conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he hoped that Yu Tian had left samples for him to study.
On the other hand, they hope not to stay, because under the current experimental conditions, they cannot guarantee that this deadly fusion pathogen will not be spread during the research.
"I'm just here to hear your opinion on why mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae and the nightmare virus reached such a strange balance in a living body, why a secondary fusion occurred, and how should we deal with these things in the future." Yu
Tian looked at Huang Binghua seriously.
Huang Binghua took a dozen deep breaths, raised his hands and patted his stiff facial muscles hard, while countless biological laws were running rapidly in his mind.
"If you really want to say...I can only tell you the answer I have deduced recently." Huang Binghua poured a glass of water and carefully considered his words.
"First of all, I have to talk about a biological core, that is, we believe that genes are always selfish."
"Genes are selfish?" Yu Tian asked in surprise. This was the first time he heard this word. Liu Min also didn't understand what it meant for a moment.
Huang Binghua nodded: "We all know that genes are the basis of a living thing, affecting various aspects including appearance, body functions, whether there are genetic diseases, etc., but it would be wrong if you just regard it as a dead thing. In fact,
Genes will also subtly affect the behavior of organisms through a series of regulatory means such as amino acids, proteins, and endocrine."
"The theory of gene selfishness means that the only purpose of a gene's existence is to spread itself continuously and expand the share of its own gene among individuals in the entire species. The behavior of all currently mutated organisms can be explained by this theory."
"A pride of lions is always a male lion leading a large group of female lions, because the offspring will carry the genes of the male lion. When other male lions reach adulthood, they will challenge the lion king in order to compete for breeding rights. This is also the genetic hope in his body
It can spread itself."
"Switching to zombies, do zombies really want to eat us? No, the nightmare virus hopes that the zombies will infect more people through biting and expand the genes of the nightmare virus. And the reason why those people are eaten
, because they were not strong enough and could not escape the killings of zombies."
"This is actually a nightmare virus screening. What he really needs are those humans who are infected but can still escape from the mutants and survive, because most of these people have stronger than average physiques. Once these people become zombies
Then you can filter out stronger people!"
"You will see that zombies have a strong desire for humans, because in their eyes we are like unexplored virgin land, each of which represents unknown growth possibilities."
"In a word, all behaviors are the efforts of genes to perpetuate themselves."
Yu Tian and Liu Min were stunned for a while when they heard this. Suddenly Liu Min thought of something and felt a chill running from her buttocks all the way to her brain: "Isn't this the principle of parasites and pathogenic microorganisms?"
Huang Binghua glanced at Liu Min appreciatively: "Yes, you can think of genes as parasites living in the body. In essence, the genes in our bodies are no different from those of the nightmare virus, but the genes of normal organisms are transmitted in different ways.
Civilization, while the nightmare virus is a destructive development like colonial plunder.”
Huang Binghua paused for a moment, spread out his hands and turned around in front of Yu Tian and Liu Min: "As for us individuals...whether humans or other creatures, we are just the carriers they use to spread and perpetuate themselves."
"Including the nightmare virus itself, it is just the preferred carrier of genes."
"Besides genes, all living beings are equal!"
[The author has something to say]
The theory of genetic selfishness is a theory I set for the book based on the books I read and my own ideas. It may have some flaws. But it can explain animal behavior very well, whether it is before or after the apocalypse.
This is true even when the mother fights against natural enemies at the risk of her life to protect her offspring, because the mother is already genetically determined as an adult, while the young offspring have greater unknown growth potential. From the genetic point of view, this is a simple choice between one and the other.
This theory seems extremely cold, and it is also the core essence of the nightmare virus. Using this core to understand, many apocalyptic things can be explained
Chapter completed!
