Chapter 531: Normalization

Jiang Chanji, most of the people in the know, were amused by the whims of these transcendental beingsβ€”they could actually think of clones, and their brains were big enough!

However, a small number of people don't think so, for example, Aurora is very serious, and even shocked and then secretly admired, because strictly speaking, people are not wrong, isn't parthenogenesis just clones in the natural environment?

When she encountered two hidden monkeys in the depression, she felt unspeakably awkward in her heart, but the situation was critical at the time, and she couldn't think about it much, so she ignored it.

Now that I think about it, in a small group of the same species, there are two individuals with the same ability at the same time, and the ability itself is quite rare, which is impossible on the earth, and even among the billions of human beings, how many people have the same ability? Arabella's extremely rare abilities are almost never repeated, and if someone who is well versed in biology and calm enough is also in the depression at the time, he may immediately think of cloning or parthenogenesis.

In short, we can't underestimate these extraordinary people who have no organization, there may be people with high education and high IQ among them, but they just don't want to join any organization for personal reasons, whether it is education, experience, or strength, they may not be worse than their students or even teachers.

Ouyang Caiyue watched Jiang Chanji's face, trying to find the answer from his face.

"You don't think I'm useful, do you think I'm the one who can sneak into the lab and learn these secrets?" he said with a little embarrassment as she looked at him.

This sentence seemed very convincing, and Ouyang Caiyue gave up.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what, you just have to take it anyway. She didn't bother to think about it, sometimes it was not good to think too much and know too many secrets.

"If you can hunt those monkeys. Jiang Chanji reminded, "If you can't even find it, this time it will be in vain." ”

"Heh~ You underestimate me?" she pursed her lips disdainfully, "Without diamonds, who dares to take on porcelain work?" I know you, although there are some rookies among these people here today, most of them are prepared, including me. ”

Jiang Chanji was puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw another cart carrying goods from a distance, parked at the door of the abandoned elementary school.

As soon as the car door opened, the noisy barking of dogs suddenly caused a headache.

Twenty or thirty iron cages were contained in the carriages, and inside the cages were dogs of different sizes, large and small, all of them with excellent bloodlines of hunting dogs, which may even include police dogs and military dogs.

Including Ouyang Caiyue, many transcendents surrounded her, and it didn't take long for her to come back with a Springer spaniel, and the rest of the dogs were also taken away by different transcendentals.

"Well? This is a dog I borrowed from a friend. She took the dog out of one of the pockets of her cargo jacket and crouched down to feed it, and it finished happily, not looking stranger to her.

"Damn! I hate dogs the most! Stinky dogs! rotten dogs!" Mio grumbled when he saw so many dogs.

"Are you going to ...... Use dogs to find those monkeys?" Jiang Chanji understood.

"Of course, you see. Ouyang Caiyue pointed to the rostrum.

There were already some paraphiles with dogs lining up on the podium, and a teacher was handing out some kind of small boxes to them.

Ouyang Caiyue also led the dog to get a small box, and after taking it back, they were curious to see Jiang Chanji, so they opened the box and showed it to them.

In the box...... It's just a small piece of cloth.

"Someone called in advance, and your school is willing to provide each dog handler with a cloth that smells of monkeys. In order to prevent the smell from evaporating, she let them take a look at it and close the box, a piece of cloth was nothing to look at anyway.

Jiang Chanji and the others exchanged glances with each other, these pieces of cloth must have been contaminated with the smell of the stump they had brought back.

They admired these people more and more, and their thinking was flexible enough.

"Even if you have dogs, the search area may be thousands of square kilometers, and you want to make such a ...... Twenty or thirty dogs sniff a few invisible monkeys in an area of thousands of square kilometers, it's not easy, right?" Jiang Chanji wondered.

"Of course it's not easy, if it's easy, who would be wronged and pay so much money?" Ouyang Caiyue nodded in the crowd, "My dog is a retired explosive search dog, an ordinary dog, but it is said that some of their dogs have awakened their abilities and have a super sensitive sense of smell that is dozens or hundreds of times stronger than ordinary dogs, and can catch a faint smell wafting from several kilometers away...... It's a pity that such a dog is too expensive and I can't afford it. ”

Jiang Chanji and the others secretly regretted that Ron was not there, otherwise wouldn't they also have a dog clan?

"How much does one of those dogs cost?" asked Aurora.

Ouyang Caiyue glanced at Aurora a few times, she had seen Aurora mobilize two helicopters to rescue in the air crash forest last time, and knew that this was a rich man.

"There's no point in buying it temporarily, it won't obey you right away and listen to your orders. She shook her head, "Even if you buy it, it will take a while to cultivate feelings and train cooperation." ”

"Okay......" Aurora was a little disappointed.

"Then isn't your dog far worse than others, can it be useful?" Jiang Chanji asked.

Ouyang Caiyue frowned angrily, "How do you talk? What do you call me this dog?"

"It's not...... I didn't mean that......" he quickly clarified, "and for a moment it was smooth." ”

Ouyang Caiyue held back the fire and said: "It is definitely not possible to rely on it to track those monkeys, but I can rely on it to track the awakened dogs led by others. ”

Jiang Chanji and they were speechless, Ouyang Caiyue's plan was like those street fights sprinkled with lime powder, not elegant, but theoretically useful.

"You're quite honest today, you can say whatever you ask, you don't even sell your guanzi, you don't look like you. "As the saying goes, nothing ...... be diligent."

Ouyang Caiyue was taken by what he said, and said with a dry cough: "I'm a little lonely by myself, and I don't want to share the money when I find someone to partner with...... I see that you hairy girls don't understand anything, so I'll be generous and take you to find it together, anyway, what you want is credits, not money, right?"

"So you're playing this wishful thinking......"

Jiang Chanji looked back at Aurora and them, they didn't have any opinions, this can be regarded as taking what they need, in fact, like Xiao Sui, they don't even lack credits, they are purely obligated to help, after all, curbing the spread of hidden monkeys is directly related to everyone's safety.

"How is it? No problem, right?" Ouyang Caiyue confirmed.

"Okay, we agree. He nodded, "But we will only help you find monkeys and deal with monkeys, not help you fight with other transcendents, and if you want to cut off your beard, you have to ask people if they agree." ”

Ouyang Caiyue shrugged, it didn't matter if she promised him now, anyway, it wasn't improvisation when the time came?

Someone coughed lightly, Jiang Chanji turned around when he heard the sound, and found that No. 15 was staring at him, and made a look at him, as if to ask him to go aside with her, she had something to say.

He walked a little further away from her and asked, "What's the matter?" why do you want to avoid everyone?"

"I didn't let that person hear. No. 15 looked at Ouyang Caiyue, "Look at this person's mouth is not very tight." ”

That's right, Ouyang Caiyue is the kind of person who can sell the secret he just heard when he turns his head.

"Go and talk to your head of the house, and let her tell everyone present that it's best to catch a monkey alive. She said.

Jiang Chanji frowned, "Why? The risk and difficulty of capturing alive are too great! Those people are not fools, even if someone is willing to take risks, the asking price has to be doubled or several times ......"

"If I can catch one alive, I will be able to find the frequency of the lymphatic resonance in their ears, and even if I encounter hundreds or thousands of these monkeys, I will at least be able to save my life. No. 15 said coldly, "Of course, I don't guarantee that there is a similar lymph in their auditory system, if not, it will be a waste of water, and I won't pay this money, so it depends on whether you want to gamble, I won't lose anyway." ”

β€œ......”

Jiang Chanji thought about it, this request has a certain amount of truth, it is not excessive, but he can't decide, it is the school that pays for it.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the head of the house. ”

No. 33 watched him walk back suspiciously, and was about to ask what No. 15 said, when he waved his hand and went to the head of the house first, because the head of the house already had the intention of leaving.

In order to take care of foreign or distant candidates, as in the past, this year's admissions season is more than one day, so it is called admissions season instead of admissions day, and the transcendent teachers have no time to get out, and the dean has a lot of other things to do besides presiding over the admission ceremony.

He ran over and told the head of the house about the 15th's request, and the head of the house nodded yes after a little muttering, because the meaning of capturing a hidden monkey alive would also help them learn more about the animal's characteristics.

She announced in public that the bounty for live capture would be increased to five times the base bounty, and there would only be one slot, on a first-come, first-served basis, but in order to reduce the difficulty, only the head and torso should be intact and not fatally injured, and the limbs would not matter.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic, and there were many people who thought they had experienced strong winds and waves, and they did not let them capture a prehistoric giant crocodile alive, but just captured a monkey alive, and they were allowed to beat the monkey to a half-crippled and then capture it alive, which was sincere enough, and it was not deliberately embarrassing them. In their eyes, the image of the head of the academy has become a girl who scatters wealth.

Some people who received the infrared goggles couldn't wait anymore and set off in a hurry, for fear of being left behind.

The more experienced ones are not in a hurry, they even have their own team, which is helping them optimize the most efficient search route according to the map, sharpening their knives and cutting wood.

Ouyang Caiyue was even less anxious, she was playing and feeding her friend's dog, while pretending to be inadvertently staring at a transcendent person leading a tall and fierce dog, she definitely couldn't blatantly follow her, she had to wait for that person to set off, and then follow after a distance.

Taking advantage of Ouyang Caiyue's lack of attention, Aurora glanced at the others, and everyone gathered around.

"I was thinking about something just now, and I felt compelled to say it. "It's about cloning and parthenogenesis." ”

She said something of her own.

Even if it is clone or parthenogenesis, it does not mean that the genes of the previous generation are copied in the same way for hundreds of years, and the genes contained in the germ cells may be mutated, whether it is contaminated by compounds, radiation from artificial or nature, and many other reasons, it may lead to mutations in the genes of germ cells, and the next generation will be slightly different from the previous generation. Of course, the location of the mutation may also be unimportant or in the garbage gene fragment, and the genes of the next generation and the previous generation are not exactly the same, but there is no difference on the surface.

The passage she said above is just the premise, what really matters is the words that follow.

"Don't you think it's strange that the Hidden Monkeys are capable of stealth, and if they are stealth, why are they so agile?" she asked.

They felt the Hidden Monkey leaping like the wind in the depression, more agile than any primate on Earth, and no small in strength, and fled with a dead companion in his arms, not much slowing down.

"Born like this?" Jiang Chanji answered, "They are born so agile, and then awaken their stealth ability?"

"Maybe, but it could also be something else. Aurora said solemnly: "In our common sense, a person or an animal can only awaken one ability, but if the hidden monkey first awakened the stealth ability hundreds of thousands of years ago, and this ability has become their normal ability in the course of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, rather than the ability that needs to be awakened, and then awakens the ability of the body enhancement system on the basis of this normality? ”

It took Jiang Chanji and the others some time to understand what she meant, and when they understood, their faces all turned pale.

The perception that a creature can only awaken one ability is based on the fact that the last time supernatural abilities appeared on Earth was only a few decades old, but if the time is extended, and taking into account the fact that parthenogenesis solidifies genes that are prone to awakening, once the awakening is no longer awakening, but becomes a normalized feature of a certain creature, will they awaken new abilities on this basis?

For example, the dog with an extraordinary sense of smell that Ouyang Caiyue is staring at, its offspring that reproduces through parthenogenesis is likely to awaken the same ability, so if it continues to breed from generation to generation, after hundreds of thousands of years, the extraordinary sense of smell is likely to have become a part of their physiology, and it is no longer an ability that needs to be awakened, so will they awaken a second new ability?

It's scary to think about it, but they can't verify it, it's something that only time can verify.

If Aurora's speculation comes true, then the Hidden Monkey may have awakened the ability to strengthen their bodies first, when strength and agility became their inherent physical qualities, and then awakened the ability to become invisible after a few years, or vice versa, and in the world on the other side of the "Passage", it is probably not uncommon for extraordinary animals with two or more abilities like this.
