Chapter 271: Neanderthals

(There were many activities at the annual meeting of the starting point in these two days.) ...... O(∩_∩)O haha~, the update won't be so fast. Brothers and sisters, be considerate!

......

A cargo ship, galloping on the clear sea of Hainan.

in the bridge.

Concentrated the captain of the "cargo ship" Louis, one of the directors of the FBG company, Randy, and an elderly man in a wheelchair, with gray hair and beard, and a somewhat withered and frail body.

The old man seemed to be terminally ill, but his eyes were full of a majesty that could not be questioned.

Behind the old man, there are two bodyguard-like figures. The one on the left was wearing a black suit, burly and with knotted muscles that almost burst the suit. However, his eyes were filled with endless indifference, as if there was nothing in the world that could arouse his interest.

The one on the right, with blonde hair and a shawl, has a sharp sword eyebrow and a muscular build, and is wearing a loose tracksuit. From the outside, he is a typical European beautiful man.

There was a hint of cynicism at the corners of his mouth, and he leaned lazily against the cabin, as if indifferent to anything.

Randy, the director of the FBG, has his brown hair meticulously combed back, wears a gentleman's white suit, and has a cane in his hand. At this time, he said with a somewhat solemn face: "Mr. Edward, there is a message from the headquarters that our destination, Nanyang Island, is being attacked by the Huaxia International Africa Bureau. I'm afraid this matter will be delayed. ”

The old man surnamed Edward, with a calm face, said lightly, "Mr. Randy." That's what you explained to me? Your company told me. The right heart has been found. I can have a heart transplant. But now, tell me that the Huaxia National Non-Governmental Bureau is attacking your base?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Randy's forehead at the old man in front of him. It's not a simple person, and if you want to find the top 100 really most powerful people in Europe, he's definitely in the top 10.

It stands to reason that finding a heart transplant for someone of his status is the easiest thing to do. Because of the minimum conditions for heart transplantation. It's a blood type match. Even modern medical science has developed artificial hearts that can be used in the first place.

But the problem is that this old man Edward has a strong rejection of other hearts, and has had several heart transplants, each of which has not been used for more than half a year, and it has developed severe rejection.

For a slightly more ordinary person, this situation has already died too much to die anymore. But he struggled to survive, and his heart was rejected, so he changed to another one. The body couldn't bear it, and the top priest of the Holy See of Light helped him use magic to maintain it.

But in this case, no support is limited. His body had gradually become immune to the Holy See's divine magic. The condition of the body can also support one more heart transplant at most.

If he chooses the wrong heart again this time, his life of glory and power will be over.

But this time. FBG came to the door and found out the reason after analyzing his genetic structure. It turns out that the old man is not human, no, not exactly human.

Many people don't know that in the long evolutionary history of human beings, humans were not the only species in the family of humans in the process of evolving from African gorillas to humans. It's just that Homo sapiens, the ancestor of mankind, won in the final evolution process and unified the human species.

Among them is a hominidae species called Neanderthals. They have a similar genetic sequence to Homo sapiens, but are definitely two different species. The difference is not between Africans and Asians, but probably between lions and tigers, which are both feline species.

Think about the differences, even though they are all felines. But a lion is a lion, a tiger is a tiger, and they are definitely two different species. Humans and Neanderthals, on the other hand, are also two different species.

Just as a lion and a tiger cross may give birth to a liger.

Homo sapiens, the direct ancestor of mankind, will eventually have some hybridization history during the stage of sharing this planet with Neanderthals. Although most of these crosses end in failure, the probability of success is very low.

But no matter how low the odds are, just like the liger, there is always a possibility of success.

In this way, Neanderthals have long since disappeared from evolutionary history. However, some of their genetic sequences are still hidden in the genetic sequences of some human beings. Maybe this part of the gene is forever asleep. Maybe there are people who he will manifest out.

However, some Neanderthals have a very low chance of being dominant in some specific genes, and it is difficult to judge by appearance. According to the probability calculations of FBG, less than 10,000 people in the world may have this dominant gene.

Ten thousand people, that sounds like a lot. But compared to the population of more than 7 billion, this is like a drop in the ocean. What's more, the vast majority of these 10,000 people don't know that some Neanderthals have special genes in their chromosomes that are dominant.

Even if most people go to the hospital for a blood test, none of the blood tests will be to verify the dominance of Neanderthals' special genes, right?

Edward's transplanted heart was consistently rejected because of Neanderthal chromosomal dominance. In terms of subtle and essential differences, Edward inherited more of a Neanderthal. On a genetic level, he was a Neanderthalen...... This is an extremely rare alternative atavism.

In a sense, he is also an awakening......

It's no wonder that it's so repulsive to the human heart. Theoretically, it is possible to transplant a lion's heart into a tiger, but the possibility of rejection will be very high.

Some people say that Edward can find a blood relative's heart for transplantation, but in fact, even if he is a blood relative, it does not mean that the blood relative will necessarily return to his ancestors like him. And Edward really did it, and the heart in his body now belongs to one of his direct descendants. But this heart can't hold on.

Edward's problem was not a heart transplant, but finding another Neanderthal heart to transplant.

Compared to FBG, which is extremely in-depth in genetic research, after verifying this problem. It was discovered that there was a genetic sequence in the database of pigs, which was very similar to Edward's, and was also a special gene of the Neanderthals.

And that person's heart had been plucked off according to the company's instructions and soaked in a nutrient solution.

Obviously, that was Edward's last chance. The last month of life, so that he can find another matching heart, the odds are extremely slim.

......

Randy pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Edward, the headquarters is now busy dealing with the attack of the Huaxia National Africa Bureau, the pressure of public opinion, and the support of allies. What's more, even if the headquarters immediately sent a master to the small island in the South Seas, it would be too late. At present, the headquarters hopes that Mr. Edward can return to the headquarters with us and ask our gene therapist to suppress the rejection of the heart and repair the chromosomal telomeres for you. ”

"I don't want to listen to nonsense, how long can I live according to your plan?" asked Edward, with his eyes half-closed, muttering.

"Half, half a year. Randy tremblingly explained, "Half a year is the current state of genes' technology, as long as we have a breakthrough in technology, or find the next suitable ......"

"That's enough!" interrupted Edward sharply, "Half a year is not enough time for your technological breakthrough or to find your next target." Moreover, you are in a state of war. Continue to the small islands of the South Seas. ”

"But......" Randy said, swallowing his saliva, "the AFA is on the offend." ”

"The small island of the South Seas is just a small stronghold of yours, and the FBG will not be able to overflow to send a few B-class powerhouses to garrison that small island. Old man Edward's eyes flashed sharply.

"Yes, three C-class superpowers. Randy's eyes lit up.

"Then, it is very likely that the National Africa Bureau will send one or two B-level powerhouses to lead a team to attack the small island in the South Seas. Edward unleashed his life's scheming technique, and quickly calculated, "Two B-level powerhouses are already extremely safe, and it is impossible for the National Africa Bureau to send more than two, or even higher-level masters." ”

"Makes sense. Randy said excitedly, "If the other party only has two B-level powerhouses, and I add Mr. Edward's two bodyguards, it will be three B-class powerhouses." Coupled with a few of my right-hand men, this battle was fought. ”

"Mr. Randy, please order a swift rush to the small island in the South Seas. "According to the traditional style of the Huaxia Kingdom, it is impossible for them to kill the non-combat researchers on the island, for fear that they will blow up your research institute." Mr. Randy, as long as this heart transplant is successful, I will use all my connections to put political and economic pressure on Huaxia. ”

"Full speed ahead, immediately to the small island of the South Seas. Randy commanded in a haughty manner. He felt like he had picked up a big ingot, and his luck was bursting.

This time, we must kill those people from the National Africa Bureau, no, no, it is better to capture them in one fell swoop, so that it will be a great contribution to the company. When the time comes, hehe......

......

At the same time that Randy and Edward were calculating Wang Yan and others.

Wang Yan and the team members also began to calculate the cargo ship that had not yet sailed into the harbor, because according to various clues, that ship was loaded with at least 100 "pigs".

In the eyes of FBG, those are pigs. But Wang Yan is also a college student who grew up under the red flag and received a formal education. Despite being at school, he was addicted to games and spent a lot of time and energy enjoying his relationship.

But this does not prevent him from forming a personality with no deviation in the general direction.

If they are gone now, the fate of the hundreds of living beings who have been abducted by the pit is very likely to be very miserable.

I can't do this kind of thing in my heart.
