447. The more you know, the more you fear

In the evening, Gu Meng took Ms. Liu back to the villa outside Princeton University.

Princeton University is located in the city of Princeton, a beautiful garden city between New York and Philadelphia.

The villa was formerly a farmhouse-style manor house, large and spacious.

There are flowers, grass, cats, and dogs, and the garden is full of cherry blossom trees, and it is said that in April, the entire garden turns into a sea of pink flowers.

Gu Meng hadn't seen it, but he felt that the air in this place was very fresh, similar to that of Green Ridge Town, and it was very suitable for cultivating immortals and retiring for the elderly.

After having Ms. Liu and Liu Qianqian at home, it became more lively.

Xiao Chengcheng has a tutor and a little friend, and she is less dependent on him and Zhen'er.

The next day, he walked into Princeton University with Li Zhen'er.

He approached Professor Marshall and went through the enrollment process.

By the time his student status has been reviewed, he will be a graduate student in genetics at the School for Advanced Studies in Princeton, and an assistant researcher in Professor Marshall's lab.

"Gu, you're welcome to join!"

"Thank you, teacher, it's my pleasure!"

Gu Meng shook hands, from now on, the two are really a teacher-student relationship.

Then Gu Meng walked into the well-known 'Marshall Laboratory'.

A very large and busy 'factory', with all kinds of experimental tools, and busy genetic researchers everywhere, they are all wearing white lab coats like Gu Meng.

According to Marshall's assistant Nemo Kluter, there are more than 30 people in the Marshall's laboratory with the world's most advanced experimental tools, the largest gene petri dish, the most complete genetic data database, and many scientists, biophysics, chemistry, and medicine.

Finally, Gu Meng also visited the experimental body warehouse outside the laboratory, a small zoo.

There are a lot of monkeys in it.

There are 12 common lower primitive monkeys, lemurs, slow loris, baby monkeys, finger monkeys, tarsal monkeys, etc.

Thirty moderately evolved groups of monkeys, such as various marmosets, capuchin monkeys, etc.

There are also six species of higher evolved apes, such as gibbons, synched-toed apes, orangutans, vajra apes, and so on.

In addition, there are other common test subjects, such as rats, geckos, small lizards, snakes, crocodiles, elephants, rhinoceros, etc.

Nemo Klute introduced that from a genetic point of view, crocodiles and geckos, elephants and mice, rhinos and ordinary cattle, these three pairs have similar gene chains, but only later took a fork in the road in evolution, and different species were formed.

Comparing and analyzing the similar gene strands, we can clearly understand the changes in the gene strand, and capture the molecular segments, or bases, of the genes that affect the power and velocity.

"These comparative test subjects have a reference and guiding role in the transformation of monkeys. ”

Nemo said, pointing to the animals in the garden.

Gu Meng nodded, and asked again, "Nemo, are there any human test subjects now?"

Nemo shook his head, "Our research progress is very slow, and we have not yet reached the stage of doing research on experimental subjects, these experimental subjects are only temporarily raised, and have not been put into genetic modification experiments"

"Do you have any other labs?"

"Yes!"

Nemo sighed, "It is said that the Bi-base Technology Laboratory has begun human trials"

Gu Meng was puzzled, "Now that genetic modification research is immature, using humans for experiments is no different from murder, isn't Shuangji afraid of being investigated by the FBI?"

Nemo waved his hand, "Most of the subjects are voluntary, some are short-lived, some are willing to sacrifice themselves for science, some are for money, but everything is done within the scope of legality"

"Someone will volunteer?" Gu Meng didn't believe it.

"Yes!"

Nemo clenched his fists with fanaticism in his eyes, "On the road of scientific research, there is always sacrifice and dedication, and the greater the results of the breakthrough, the greater the sacrifice and the greater the price to pay."

For example, the invention of gunpowder, nuclear technology, and the atomic bomb, the appearance of these things often brings blood and disaster, just like in magic, the weapons that have been sacrificed by human blood are the most devastating weapons.

From a scientific point of view, a breakthrough in genetic technology will bring greater disasters to mankind, atomic bombs will only destroy one city, and genes will fundamentally destroy the entire human race."

Gu Meng raised his eyebrows and joked, "Nemo, you won't be sent by the anti-genetic organization to sabotage, right?"

"Haha"

Nemo smiled and invited him to sit down in his office, "This theory is not propagated by anti-genetic organizations, but an axiom that all scientists agree on, and whoever disagrees with this is quibbling"

Gu Meng was a little puzzled, "The teacher said in class that human beings will eventually be destroyed, and the purpose of genetic research is to save human beings, and what you said senior, genetic research will destroy human beings from the root, aren't these two points contradictory?"

"Not really!"

Nemo poured two cups of instant coffee and explained, "When geckos became crocodiles, the gecko group disappeared, and so did humans.

Genetic modification is the use of an unconventional medium to achieve the effect of genetic mutation.

It is an irregular way of evolution that is detached from the system of natural evolution, and no one can predict the direction of evolution.

Each human gene chain is interdependent, and when the first gene fragment is destroyed, the other gene chains will change like dominoes."

"Pull a hair and move the whole body?" Gu Meng answered.

"Nice, very vivid metaphor"

Nemo nodded, and continued, "When the entire gene chain changes, humans evolve.

At present, our understanding of genes is very shallow, and once this change occurs, we cannot predict the direction of human evolution in the future, nor do we know what will become of evolved human beings, but in any case, it will certainly not be what it is now.

That's what I just said, that genetic research is bound to bring about the demise of humanity."

"In that case, why do we insist on research?" Gu Meng wondered.

Nemo was silent and spread his hands, "Because everything has happened."

"What?"

"The first card has fallen"

Nemo took out a thick sheet of information and handed it to him.

Gu Meng flipped through it, there were a lot of data and pictures, the data were all tables, and the pictures were all small dots of various colors, small tadpoles.

"What is this?"

"This is part of the research data on human evolution, according to our research, after entering the industrial age, the first chain of human evolution has been destroyed, human beings are accelerating evolution, and now human beings are like a high-speed train, without braking devices, rushing quickly to the unknown abyss, and genetic research is actively controlling this train, slowing down the process of human extinction, or actively controlling human evolution"

Nemo gasped deeply, clenched his fists tightly, and blushed.

Gu Meng feels that people who are engaged in scientific research are a little neurotic, and scientists with normal appearances are either not real scientists or super perverted scientists.

As for why, he heard Marshall say that scientific research allows scientists to know more, and the more they know, the more frightening it becomes.

Facing fear all the time will naturally lead to madness.

He hurriedly put down the information and asked, "Nemo, what did you mean when you just said that the first chain of human evolution has been broken?"

Nemo suddenly laughed and said, "Have you ever been vaccinated?"
