Chapter 442: Non-Human Species Genes
Watching the three of them enter the room, Wayne Dunlop took the books and notes from the shelves and asked, "How much do you know about the human race?"
Aldnan and Carroll looked at each other, and they both shook their heads.
Barbara said angrily, "I don't want to listen to your academic theories and tirades! I just want you to do two things: first, turn me back into a human, and second, find a way to get me out of Dusk West!"
Wayne frowned and asked, "May I ask, why did you want to leave Twilight?"
Barbara bit her lip and said, "I don't believe Randall is dead...... The body has not been found, and I always think that his disappearance must have something to do with the dragon that people say it is!"
Wayne said helplessly: "There is no evidence, no inference, is this a woman's intuition?"
Barbara yelled angrily, "I don't care what you think! Anyway, I'm going back to Lone Rock to find Randall's whereabouts, you must have a way to get me out of the city!"
Wayne, who had a headache, looked at the angry woman in front of him and changed the subject: "Did Randall mention to you a place called 'Heaven'?"
Barbara was stunned: "Heaven?!"
"It seems that the people you care about still have reservations about you. Wayne's poisonous tongue skill is full of firepower: "Or does he think your mouth is too big to keep a secret?"
Furious, Barbara opened her hands, and the dazzling flames danced between her fingers, only to hear her shout: "Your lies and slanders are of no use in front of me!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Aldenan hurriedly jumped out to play a round game: "Miss Barbara, Mr. Dunlop did not lie to you, the Kingdom of Heaven does exist! He has gained the knowledge of many gods in the Kingdom of Heaven, and even learned a divine language called 'Chinese'!"
Ignoring Barbara, who was on the verge of going berserk, Wayne sat down to himself, poured himself a glass of water, and said calmly, "Not only knowledge, but heaven has everything you can't imagine...... Engrams that record epic poems, super machines that solve difficult calculations, works of art that transcend their time, and delicious delicacies ......"
Seeing that Barbara still looked skeptical, Wayne said, "Do you know about Queen Mary's gallery? Don't you think it's strange that there are so many amazing paintings that she claims are from His Majesty?
Hearing this, Barbara slowly calmed down, and the expression on her face gradually turned from anger to doubt.
After thinking for a long time, she asked Wayne, "According to you, Randall has been to that 'kingdom of heaven'?!"
"That's right. Wayne pouted: "But that kid who doesn't seek to be motivated always uses his precious time in heaven to watch those boring 'TV series'." ”
Barbara shook her body and said weakly, "Well, even if Randall has been to that so-called kingdom of heaven, what does that prove? Tell me, what exactly do you want to say?"
"In the kingdom of heaven that Your Majesty has taken us to, there are many secret rooms that are hidden. Wayne stroked the cover of the notebook with his hand and said with a sigh: "Some rooms can see the shape of the entire universe, and some rooms store incomparably precious specimens...... But what amazed me the most was a room full of huge machines, which I call "Between the Origins." ”
"Between origins?"
"It's a room that reveals the mysteries of species and the origin of life, with multiple ......machines you can't imagine," the expression on Wayne's face was like a man in love.
Finding that the three of them still had confused expressions, Wayne sighed and said in an extremely disdainful tone: "Let's start with the simplest concept, genes. ”
"The so-called gene is a miniature fragment of genetic information in the human body, which is the basic material for human beings to inherit their own characteristics to the next generation when they reproduce. Wayne looked at the three people in front of him: "So, can you understand?"
The three shook their heads.
"In other words, genes are the tools that humans use to pass on individual differences to their offspring, understand?"
The trio shook their heads again.
Wayne scratched his scalp hard, pointed at Aldenan and shouted: "You found a woman, gave birth to a child, and found that this child is exactly the same as you in terms of pupil color and natural disease, this is the gene!"
Aldenan pondered: "So, that thing called genes is actually my precious offspring?"
Wayne closed his eyes weakly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you understand it like this." ”
Bypassing this basic conceptual question, Wayne continued: "The gods of heaven have spent thirteen years conducting genetic testing on humans, and they call this large-scale testing the Human Genome Project (HGP). In this experiment, they were able to map and describe the entire gene sequence and determine the location of all the genes. ”
After accomplishing this feat, the heavenly gods began to analyze the function of each gene fragment, an act they called the "post-HGP" project. Wayne said with emotion: "As the experiment progressed, the gods gradually discovered that the post-genome project was slowly becoming an impossible task. ”
"The genes that really have epigenetic characteristics and can be directly analyzed only account for only 3% of the entire gene sequence, and the remaining 97% of the genome is like a huge, bottomless black hole, which cannot decipher their specific functions and hidden meanings in the human body. ”
Glancing at the two companions beside him, who had long since completely lost the ability to think, Aldenan rubbed his head lightly and said, "Mr. Dunlop, what you said is too profound, can you put it more simply?"
Wayne let out a long breath, "I'll put it simply. Only about 3% of the genes in the human body have been interpreted by the gods, and the contents of these 3% genes include human skin color, habits, preferences, diseases and even thinking, and the remaining 97% of the things, even the gods can't figure out what they represent?"
Aldnan whispered, "So this fact, on behalf of ......?"
"Through the species experiments of the three of you, get a result. The remaining 97% of human genes may contain some genetic information of non-human species. In other words, there may be something "non-human" hidden in the human body. ”
Aldenan listened to Wayne's words as he struggled to keep up with the other man's thoughts: "There is a question, if there are 'non-human' things in the human body, then how do these things enter the human body?"
In response to the werewolf's question, Wayne nodded with satisfaction: "You can think of this question, which means that you have at least understood some of the doorway." I thought about the answer to this question for a long time and thought of two possibilities. ”
"First, human ancestors once lived on this land with non-human species. Whether it was for war or research, our ancestors managed to extract genetic fragments from non-human species and transplant them into their own bodies in order to gain new powers......"
Aldnan touched his chin and asked, "Is there another possibility?"
Wayne paused for a moment and continued: "Second, when the Creator created human beings, for some purpose, he buried some hidden genetic fragments into human bodies. Once humans meet certain conditions, they can trigger these hidden genes and trigger changes in the species. ”
Aldenan gasped: "It's too ...... possibility Unbelievable......"
Wayne shrugged: "That's why I said the Creator, their thoughts are incomprehensible to ordinary people. ”
When Barbara heard this, she suddenly spoke: "You still haven't answered the original question, what does what you said has to do with us?"
Wayne said in a deep voice, "Through your changes, I have discovered one thing. As long as the human body is used as an inducer, the hidden non-human genes in the human body can be activated, and then the result of species transformation can be achieved. This transformation is irreversible and at the same time extremely dangerous......"
"Wait a minute, you just said it's irreversible?!" Barbara's eyes widened and she asked in a loud voice, "You mean, I'll never be able to turn back into a human again?!"
Wayne nodded lightly, "I'm afraid so." ”
